BIDEN: "We went out and rescued General Motors."
THE FACTS: Actually, the auto bailout of General Motors and Chrysler began under President George W. Bush. The Obama administration continued and
expanded it.They did expand it. They broke all bankruptcy laws and gave the bond holder's money to the unions. Why, it obvious. Buy future votes. If you had invested your money in a company as a secured bond holder and the government took your security away from you and gave it to the unions, how would you feel? Actually, this may be a positive thing in the long run. Investor's will stay away from investing in companies forced to use union labor.
BYB You are right on the money. President Bush invested $13 billion in September 2008..

Simple question really. Do you let yourself go extremely hungry until it's time for your next scheduled meal, or do you feed the beast?
Personally if I get hungry less than an hour before my next meal is anyways, I let myself go, but if I get hungry literally an hour or hour and a half after my last meal, I'll eat something real small to make it to my next meal.

The Chip Shop Awards is an international creative competition unlike any other - we don't have any rules. And it's open to anyone whether you're an advertising creative, student or just someone with a great idea.
Over the years these awards have produced some of the cleverest, funniest and worst taste advertising and design ever seen. That's why we have categories like 'best use of bad taste' and 'best work for a client you haven't a hope of running'.
These awards are here to recognise that the best ideas don't always fall within the rules. The Chips is all about ideas. Your work does not have to have been broadcast, printed or mailed. The client or brand doesn't need to be someone you work with. You just need a brilliant idea.
Entries are open all year round with the final entry deadline in March and the awards ceremony in June in London.

The Melting Pot - Albuquerque
Online Reservations
This place was excellent but a bit pricey. The food, service, and setting were awesome but the cost doesn't lend itself to be a place were I can eat at it very often. It will be a place were my wife and I will go to only for special occasions.
We enjoyed our four course meal at the Melting Pot very much. We had the Mojo and the Bourguignonne as our cooking liquids with a nice variety of meat, vegetables, and seafood. We enjoyed the original chocolate and the pure dark chocolate dessert.
I had already been to the Melting Pot before, but it was my first time taking someone there. My partner and I had a wonderful time and her birthday was well celebrated. We had lovely service and our waiter was knowledgeable and friendly. Our glasses were never empty and he made sure we had what we need. Definitely worth a visit.
My husband and I have always had the best experiences at this Melting Pot. We love the small, intimate tables that allow us to feel so special. This is also the second time we've had Josh as our waiter and would go out of our way to ask for him again. Service was prompt, without feeling rushed. Let's face it, Melting Pot is not an experience that should be rushed at all. It's a long, lovely way to dine. Wine selection is always top-notch.
My wife always wanted to try the melting pot. So for our 23rd I said lets go. We have been to nearly ever place in town but this one. The experience is great for that special someone. Great for a serious date or spend some time with the wife alone moment. Takes about 2 hours to eat but great relaxed pace. The place is very pricey so without drinks and going in with just the basic 4 course you are looking at 125 with tip for two. This is no Dion's so don't be cheap here! Really taking the most special women in your life out for only 125 is still a Bargan. But beware of the stores in the mall as the MR handbag shop can kill you.
We had a boothe for two...very private. Service was great good was really good
Everything about this place is wonderful. Beautiful atmosphere, top notch food, and some of the consistenly best service ever.
We had a delightful time at this Melting Pot location. We were most impressed by the lack of noise & the sense of privacy we felt at our table.
The food was good. Just really wasn't into the whole cook your own food. To have to time each food item and make sure its cooked properly. I could have done all that at home for a lot less money.
We went to celebrate 3 birthdays and the-night-before-a-big-surgery dinner. Our server Logan and his management bent over backwards to ensure all bad a very special evening. Yummy food as usual and fun.
It is so nice to enjoy a meal out where it is the norm to take your time and enjoy and not be rushed out . Food and service woth every penny (dollar)
We visit often and always enjoy it... Love the gluten free choice ... Please work on gluten free batter for oil pot
What a unique dining experience. Lots of food and variety.
We have dined at various Melting Pot's throughout the US. It has been about 2 years since we have been to one. The menu has changed slightly, I would prefer the old one. The tables were not private as they have been at other Melting Pot locations. We were seated next to a really loud table with no privacy from them. Too much alcohol added to the cheese with not enough time to burn off, my kids were not happy with the taste. Main meat course was great as was the chocolate finale. Don't waste your money on the birthday package. The balloons were tiny and the picture was blurry. We still love the Melting Pot however when you are spending 260.00 for a meal, the whole experience should be above par.
A truely delightful meal..WOW a wonderful two hour lunch
Was fantastic place for a celebration. Our server was one of the best in recent memory. He made it personable and was very good at explaining and better at being patient because we had no idea what we were doing at the beginning. I would highly recommend!
We went on a Tuesday night, so there was almost no one else there, and we were the last couple to leave. We had the four-course experience, and our server was awesome! It was our 1st anniversary, so they sat us in "lovers' Lane," which is basically a few half-sized booths with a divider running floor-to-ceiling. It was very intimate and cozy. I would definitely recommend going there for a romantic occasion! Being in uptown, it is very pricey.
Celebrating 26th aniversary started out great when we were seated in a nice romantic secluded section with only two tables. Mood was let down when we were told we would have to be moved because the burner wasn't working on our table. Instead of moving to the other open table in that section we were moved to a wide open and full section. Kind of a let down. Service was very good other than that.
Had a great time. Good food, Great Service. Good location. Staff was very attentive and helpful.
Really great food, my wife and I celebrated our 16 year anniversary there and we had a blast. We definitely will return.
Our party of six had your Oktoberfest special menu. It was delicious with great service from the waitstaff. We also enjoyed the German polka music as we entered the restaurant.
The best experience that a couple could ever have. The food is great and the drinks are just as equal.
We had such a wonderful evening here. The food was fantastic and the service we got was extraordinary! I definitely recommend this restaurant, especially for special occasions and romantic dinners. Well worth the price.
The food choices were plentiful and the food was fresh. Unlike other fondue places, the smells were well controlled.
This is a great restaurant to go to especially for romantic evenings. I suggest a booth on Lovers Lane because they're very private. It's great to fondue you own food. They dinner takes about 2 hours so it's a nice little evening, not just hurry and eat and leave. We go here every year for our anniversary.
The food was excellent. Even though we were stuffed, we wanted to finish everything. Our waiter was very patient while explaining everything since it was our first time. He answered all our questions without making us feel dumb. My only criticism is the price; considering I cook my meal the prices seem a little steep. Even though I enjoyed myself, I will only be able to dine here on very special occaisions.
Wish I could come here more often but have to watch my weight. Will never not give this place a bad review I love this place. Love the new drinks on the menu. I tried the "Tonys melting pot mule" really like it. Keep up the good work guys!
I took my Mom for the Think Pink ladies night. She loved it! This will be her new special occasion favorite! The food was good, there's a lot of it too. If you leave this place hungry you've don something wrong!
We went for one of their special dinners for Sweetest Day and were very very please with the evening. Would recomend this restaraunt to others to go to especially when they have special offers!
We recently were at the Melting Pot for Sweetest Day and took advantage of a package that was offered to us. The food was fantastic, the extras with the package were superb, and I have to say that the service was the best we've ever had at the Melting Pot. The server and team members who came to check on us were extremely friendly and personable and we never lacked for anything during our visit. If you are looking for a romantic, special occasion place to celebrate or spend some time with your special one, consider the Melting Pot. Just keep in mind that the food/alcohol costs are pricey but it is worth it.
The melting pot is great for creating a memorable time. It is more than a meal but a whole dining experience. Come hungry with plenty if time.
I've come to know the Melting Pot as a place I want to go for special occasions, special sit-down occasions. It never occurred to us that this fancy, dining experience would "stoop" to catering to children! My little guy got to play with stickers and paint and glitter and glue. We were then led to our table and our waiter treated us with all the courtesy and kindness I've always experienced there, even before having my child. I could go on forever, but the short story is: For a place that is geared towards high-class, adult dining, The Melting Pot welcomed my toddler and made our experience just as glamorous and fun as when it was just my husband and I. I would highly recommend this restaurant for your special occasion or next holiday.
My favorite thing is that you have made a great effort to take care of those of us who are gluten free!! Changing the cheese fondue to cornastarch means we can eat with the rest of the table!! The cake and brownies made us so happy....if you made the rice kirspie treats with the GF Rice Krispie available at the grocery store...that could be on the GF platter too. THanks for giving us this GF opportunity!!
This was our first visit and we enjoyed ourselves very much. Our waitress was delghtful and very personable. The food was delicious and much more filling than you would expect from the size of the portions. We had a lovely time and enjoyed some teriffic wine at a reasonable price. Our only complaint was that we felt like we were seated in the "kids rioom". When we went to our table, every table in that room was filled with kids and they were very noisy. Since we were two adult couples, it would have been nicer to be in a room with other adults for a quieter and more grown-up atmosphere. I would suggest that they put all the families together in a room and adults in a different room. I will ask for that the next time I go.
Go for the lunch. Fantastic menu, quiet restaurant, excellent service and best of all... less in price. What more could you ask?
This was our first visit to the Melting Pot. We were seated in a quiet corner with a private booth. It was intimate and fun. The whole dinner is an experience in and of itself. The food is fantastic. Lots of options and lots of flavor to get just what you want. Our waitress was excellent! She took the time to explain everything to us and even suggested alterations to make our experience perfect.
We went here for the first time to celebrate our 11th Anniversary. It was a wonderful experience. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. It is VERY pricy though, so be prepared for that!
We enjoyed our experience. It is a 3 hour (or possibly more) event. You will spend quite a bit of cash. But, it is somewhere that my wife and I visit only once a year to celebrate special occasions. It is always fun. It is meant to be different, not your typical dining experience. Good bar while you wait.
We wish you have an alcohol free grasshopper thin mint flavored chocolate fondue. Also pretzels, blueberries to dip in the chocolate.
Was our first time so we didn't know what to expect. The dessert course was my favorite! Cheese course was more chewy than creamy. Would maybe try the hot oil prep style for the entree course next time because I didn't really care for the "boiled" meat texture. Bacon Ceasar salad unimpressive. Would take my husband for just the cheese and dessert courses. Our server, Mike, was wonderful! He explained everything really well and answered all our questions...and we had many! It was a long meal, however, I was with my Mom and a girlfriend and so the length of the meal wasn't an issue. We had a very long relaxed visit! I would definitely return to the Melting Pot...but I would definitely adjust my order.
Despite all the negative reviews, my boyfriend and I went for lunch and had a great time. It was very quiet and the server was extremely kind. The food was great!
Wonderful restaurant. Food was well prepared.Our waitress was wonderfully personable, and the manager was highly involved in making sure everything was to our liking. Overall a great birthday experience, would love to go back given the chance.
We went to the Melting Pot for our romantic getaway. It sure was. The food was great, especially the 4 course meal. Bring a big appetite. Our server was friendly but one thing you should know is that you have to interact with your server so being sociable is key. The wine list was excellent, as my wife attests to. All in all, good food at a great price.
My friend and I went there for a special occasion... Had a wonderful leisurely dinner.. Food was yummy..staff was attentive and we were never rushed through each course...recommend Melting Pot to our friends... You can even dine here just for desserts or a lite entre.. We decided to get all courses and were very pleased.. Enjoy
I enjoyed my evening at the Melting Pot. The only thing I was disappointed with was the fact that I requested a quiet romantic spot when I made my reservation online, and was placed in a room with 6 full tables. This was a first date, so the private booth would have made the night much better and would have given us privacy and a quieter area to talk. My server by the name of Aaron was great! Hewas very knowledgeable about the menu and made great recommendations.
My husband and I went there for thanksgiving dinner. The "lovers lane" seating area they had us was so hot it was uncomfortable. Out server was very friendly and when she didn't know the answer to out question she had someone come to us that could answer. Food was good, typical of melting pot . It's not your typical thanksgiving fare if that's what your looking for.
We had a lovely leisurely meal. The food was excellent and the service was fantastic. It was an expensive meal but we all enjoyed ourselves so we felt it was money well spent.
We have some extra-special friends whom we only see a few times each year. The Melting Pot is our chosen restaurant for our those special times when we get together.
This was my first time dinning at the Melting Pot. It was a great experience, the waitress was very friendly and helpful since it was our first time. She explained everything and was very nice and patient. The 4 course meal is the best deal for your money since you will be able to try everything including their amazing desert. I will be back again to try something different since there is such a big selection.
The waiter was outstanding he always checked up on us periodically but he didn't disturbe us. He always made sure we were satisfied and our drinks remained full. Overall we had a great time at the restaurant food was great the atmosphere was very nice and quiet.

I'm please to be speaking at the .Net user group in West Palm, my old stomping ground! Many thanks to Scott Klein, noted .Net author and coder for having me down to the beach to spend some time with the great folks down there. I will be giving a lecture on the Atomic Data Model, the X-Y-Z method of site expansion, and an in-depth analysis of one of their website projects live while we discuss it.
The event will be held at the following address at 6:30 for pizza and 7:30 for the lecture:

When you move your business, you make sure that you shut down your utilities, forward your mail, change your billing address, and above all, you make sure that you put up that nice sign in the door that says to any loyal customers that may be returning that you have permanently moved to a new location.
This "permanent redirect" is a very special instruction that is also used by Google to identify pages that have moved their location as well. Online a "street address" is a website "uniform resource locator" or URL. You type in URLs all day when you enter in addresses like http://www.google.com/ or http://www.fuzion.org/. What most people don't understand is that every single "landing page" on your website has a similar address that is a bit more complicated such as www.FUZION.org/Web_Marketing for example or even more complex: www.Tire.biz/page/Tires.aspx. Many people will "bookmark" a home website address, but often enough they bookmark pages deep in your site with these complex URLs. We call this "deep linking".
These deep links are very valuable because, compared to your homepage there are hundreds of times more of them, and they tend to be links that reside on message forums ("Hey, check out this item") or are linked in web email client systems (links in Gmail, Ymail, or Hotmail). Because these links come from very high page rank value (PR value) websites, they are extremely powerful and should not be abandoned lightly.
Normally when you update your website with a new look, or a new content management database, the "home" address or "root" address (http://www.yourwebsite.com/) rarely changes… and when you move to the new site you think your work is done. However, what actually has happened is you've lifted up that business building, severing all of the existing customer relationships, bookmarks, and back links to your business (or website) to deep linked pages (www.YourWebsite.com/page/specificpage.aspx) like wires and pipes dangling beneath it and you've dropped in a brand new building at the same address. What's actually happened is that all of those severed wires are still there… only now they go to web "dead ends". If you compare the diagram to the right.
Customers that liked your website enough to bookmark a very specific page are now finding dead links and frustrating error messages which makes them sever the link completely.
It makes sense then to use a tool built into web servers called the 301 Permanent redirect or the 302 Temporary redirect. These two tools allow you to permanently move or temporarily switch pages and notify the search engines that you want them to "forward" the customers while preserving the history and value that has built up over time in the search engines for that page's value.
Forwarding makes a lot of sense because now, a customer that had a URL "bookmarked" will be redirected to the new, replacement page. Search engines will also start the slow process of transferring the original pages PR value to the replacement page, giving you a nice boost in your search engine rankings for your new pages that would have taken a long time to earn a new ranking.
Already done a remake (or two) on your website without doing the proper redirects? It's not too late to fix it. Just install Google Webmaster Tools - www.google.com/webmasters/tools and verify your site. This tool is provided by Google which will give you a listing of all of the "404 not found" errors found on your website. They will also let you know which websites are linking to each page and will help you find ones that you may have forgotten.
You can load 301 Redirects into your htaccess file if you are using Apache webservers or you can install the IIS 7.0 URL Redirect plugin and modify your URL mappings in the IIS editor or directly in your Web.config file. If you are using IIS 6.0 you can install an ISAPI URL Rewrite handler and edit the .ini file for those as well. You have invested in your website over time... don't throw it all away by not forwarding the traffic to your new pages!

Online retail is not the same as brick and mortar retail. When a brick and mortar store launches online they fall into this biggest trap. Take an apparel shop… when you first walk in you find a men's department and a ladies department. The store is physically trying to demographically segment you.
If you create a data model that matches this, you will end up with the first <xml> node being <gender> which is a highly limiting path to follow for a search engine even though it may make the most sense for a human being. You would then add data for teams, sports, colors, sizes, variants, materials of manufacture, and many other "parameters" for this data. To avoid 3rd normal database limitation, you would start to peel this data out into separate tables… one for colors… one for teams…one for sports. Then you would need to create many-to-many crosslink tables. Over time, your table count just gets larger and larger as new needs arise.
There is certain data that "hangs" off each sub-classification. In this example the Item class stores who the manufacturer is (because most items have manufacturers). The Apparel class contains the style information (because style is global to all apparel objects), whereas the Shirt class contains collar styles, sleeve variants, etc.
By localizing this information to class levels, once I define a "field" for the Apparel class, all future objects that inherit from that class will inherit that field. Any objects that do not inherit from the Apparel class will not have the field at all.
Note how different this is from a traditional 3rd normal representation of data where we would have fields like "color1" and "color2" and "color3" simply to leave enough fields available just in case we might need them for a particular product application.
Now that our data is structured with infinite flexibility while still retaining a core hierarchy (for default navigation purposes), when a customer walks into our store, we can simply ask Google "how they sent them" to us… and what keywords they used. Now when the customer enters our "store" we can toss all of the inventory up into the air and literally rebuild our store to match the words they used in the order they used them. Now they can enter as "ladies yellow tank top" and we structure our product data in terms of gender first, color next and product class third… but we also can welcome customers that ask for "white womens Nike shirt" which we do by scanning for aliases of class nodes, parent classes, and other permutations of the item for maximum comfort to the customer and higher conversion rates on sales.

Author: | A.M. Kuchling (amk at amk.ca) |
Release: | 3.1.2 |
Date: | March 20, 2010 |
This article explains the new features in Python 2.7. No release schedule has been decided yet for 2.7.
Much as Python 2.6 incorporated features from Python 3.0, version 2.7 is influenced by features from 3.1.
XXX mention importlib; anything else?
One porting change: the -3 switch now automatically enables the -Qwarn switch that causes warnings about using classic division with integers and long integers.
XXX write this
Several modules will now use OrderedDict by default. The ConfigParser module uses OrderedDict for the list of sections and the options within a section. The namedtuple._asdict() method returns an OrderedDict as well.
Some smaller changes made to the core Python language are:
str.format() method now supports automatic numbering of the replacement fields. This makes using str.format() more closely resemble using %s formatting:
>>> '{}:{}:{}'.format(2009, 04, 'Sunday')
>>> '{}:{}:{day}'.format(2009, 4, day='Sunday')
The auto-numbering takes the fields from left to right, so the first {...} specifier will use the first argument to str.format(), the next specifier will use the next argument, and so on. You can't mix auto-numbering and explicit numbering – either number all of your specifier fields or none of them – but you can mix auto-numbering and named fields, as in the second example above. (Contributed by Eric Smith; :issue`5237`.)
The int() and long() types gained a bit_length method that returns the number of bits necessary to represent its argument in binary:
>>> n = 37
>>> bin(37)
>>> n.bit_length()
>>> n = 2**123-1
>>> n.bit_length()
>>> (n+1).bit_length()
(Contributed by Fredrik Johansson and Victor Stinner; issue 3439.)
Conversions from long integers and regular integers to floating point now round differently, returning the floating-point number closest to the number. This doesn't matter for small integers that can be converted exactly, but for large numbers that will unavoidably lose precision, Python 2.7 will now approximate more closely. For example, Python 2.6 computed the following:
>>> n = 295147905179352891391
>>> float(n)
>>> n - long(float(n))
Python 2.7's floating-point result is larger, but much closer to the true value:
>>> n = 295147905179352891391
>>> float(n)
>>> n-long(float(n)
... )
(Implemented by Mark Dickinson; issue 3166.)
The bytearray type's translate() method will now accept None as its first argument. (Fixed by Georg Brandl; issue 4759.)
Several performance enhancements have been added:
The garbage collector now performs better when many objects are being allocated without deallocating any. A full garbage collection pass is only performed when the middle generation has been collected 10 times and when the number of survivor objects from the middle generation exceeds 10% of the number of objects in the oldest generation. The second condition was added to reduce the number of full garbage collections as the number of objects on the heap grows, avoiding quadratic performance when allocating very many objects. (Suggested by Martin von Loewis and implemented by Antoine Pitrou; issue 4074.)
The garbage collector tries to avoid tracking simple containers which can't be part of a cycle. In Python 2.7, this is now true for tuples and dicts containing atomic types (such as ints, strings, etc.). Transitively, a dict containing tuples of atomic types won't be tracked either. This helps reduce the cost of each garbage collection by decreasing the number of objects to be considered and traversed by the collector. (Contributed by Antoine Pitrou; issue 4688.)
Integers are now stored internally either in base 2**15 or in base 2**30, the base being determined at build time. Previously, they were always stored in base 2**15. Using base 2**30 gives significant performance improvements on 64-bit machines, but benchmark results on 32-bit machines have been mixed. Therefore, the default is to use base 2**30 on 64-bit machines and base 2**15 on 32-bit machines; on Unix, there's a new configure option --enable-big-digits that can be used to override this default.
Apart from the performance improvements this change should be invisible to end users, with one exception: for testing and debugging purposes there's a new structseq sys.long_info that provides information about the internal format, giving the number of bits per digit and the size in bytes of the C type used to store each digit:
>>> import sys
>>> sys.long_info
sys.long_info(bits_per_digit=30, sizeof_digit=4)
(Contributed by Mark Dickinson; issue 4258.)
Another set of changes made long objects a few bytes smaller: 2 bytes smaller on 32-bit systems and 6 bytes on 64-bit. (Contributed by Mark Dickinson; issue 5260.)
The division algorithm for long integers has been made faster by tightening the inner loop, doing shifts instead of multiplications, and fixing an unnecessary extra iteration. Various benchmarks show speedups of between 50% and 150% for long integer divisions and modulo operations. (Contributed by Mark Dickinson; issue 5512.)
The implementation of % checks for the left-side operand being a Python string and special-cases it; this results in a 1-3% performance increase for applications that frequently use % with strings, such as templating libraries. (Implemented by Collin Winter; issue 5176.)
List comprehensions with an if condition are compiled into faster bytecode. (Patch by Antoine Pitrou, back-ported to 2.7 by Jeffrey Yasskin; issue 4715.)
As in every release, Python's standard library received a number of enhancements and bug fixes. Here's a partial list of the most notable changes, sorted alphabetically by module name. Consult the Misc/NEWS file in the source tree for a more complete list of changes, or look through the Subversion logs for all the details.
The bz2 module's BZ2File now supports the context management protocol, so you can write with bz2.BZ2File(...) as f: .... (Contributed by Hagen Fuerstenau; issue 3860.)
New class: the Counter class in the collections module is useful for tallying data. Counter instances behave mostly like dictionaries but return zero for missing keys instead of raising a KeyError:
>>> from collections import Counter
>>> c = Counter()
>>> for letter in 'here is a sample of english text':
... c[letter] += 1
>>> c
Counter({' ': 6, 'e': 5, 's': 3, 'a': 2, 'i': 2, 'h': 2,
'l': 2, 't': 2, 'g': 1, 'f': 1, 'm': 1, 'o': 1, 'n': 1,
'p': 1, 'r': 1, 'x': 1})
>>> c['e']
>>> c['z']
There are two additional Counter methods: most_common() returns the N most common elements and their counts, and elements() returns an iterator over the contained element, repeating each element as many times as its count:
>>> c.most_common(5)
[(' ', 6), ('e', 5), ('s', 3), ('a', 2), ('i', 2)]
>>> c.elements() ->
'a', 'a', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ',
'e', 'e', 'e', 'e', 'e', 'g', 'f', 'i', 'i',
'h', 'h', 'm', 'l', 'l', 'o', 'n', 'p', 's',
's', 's', 'r', 't', 't', 'x'
Contributed by Raymond Hettinger; issue 1696199.
The namedtuple class now has an optional rename parameter. If rename is true, field names that are invalid because they've been repeated or that aren't legal Python identifiers will be renamed to legal names that are derived from the field's position within the list of fields:
>>> from collections import namedtuple
>>> T = namedtuple('T', ['field1', '$illegal', 'for', 'field2'], rename=True)
>>> T._fields
('field1', '_1', '_2', 'field2')
(Added by Raymond Hettinger; issue 1818.)
The deque data type now exposes its maximum length as the read-only maxlen attribute. (Added by Raymond Hettinger.)
In Distutils, distutils.sdist.add_defaults() now uses package_dir and data_files to create the MANIFEST file. distutils.sysconfig will now read the AR environment variable.
It is no longer mandatory to store clear-text passwords in the .pypirc file when registering and uploading packages to PyPI. As long as the username is present in that file, the distutils package will prompt for the password if not present. (Added by Tarek Ziade, based on an initial contribution by Nathan Van Gheem; issue 4394.)
A Distutils setup can now specify that a C extension is optional by setting the optional option setting to true. If this optional is supplied, failure to build the extension will not abort the build process, but instead simply not install the failing extension. (Contributed by Georg Brandl; issue 5583.)
New method: the Decimal class gained a from_float() class method that performs an exact conversion of a floating-point number to a Decimal. Note that this is an exact conversion that strives for the closest decimal approximation to the floating-point representation's value; the resulting decimal value will therefore still include the inaccuracy, if any. For example, Decimal.from_float(0.1) returns Decimal('0.1000000000000000055511151231257827021181583404541015625'). (Implemented by Raymond Hettinger; issue 4796.)
The Fraction class will now accept two rational numbers as arguments to its constructor. (Implemented by Mark Dickinson; issue 5812.)
New function: the gc module's is_tracked() returns true if a given instance is tracked by the garbage collector, false otherwise. (Contributed by Antoine Pitrou; issue 4688.)
The gzip module's GzipFile now supports the context management protocol, so you can write with gzip.GzipFile(...) as f: .... (Contributed by Hagen Fuerstenau; issue 3860.) It's now possible to override the modification time recorded in a gzipped file by providing an optional timestamp to the constructor. (Contributed by Jacques Frechet; issue 4272.)
The io.FileIO class now raises an OSError when passed an invalid file descriptor. (Implemented by Benjamin Peterson; issue 4991.)
New function: itertools.compress(*data*, *selectors*) takes two iterators. Elements of data are returned if the corresponding value in selectors is true:
itertools.compress('ABCDEF', [1,0,1,0,1,1]) =>
New function: itertools.combinations_with_replacement(*iter*, *r*) returns all the possible r-length combinations of elements from the iterable iter. Unlike combinations(), individual elements can be repeated in the generated combinations:
itertools.combinations_with_replacement('abc', 2) =>
('a', 'a'), ('a', 'b'), ('a', 'c'),
('b', 'b'), ('b', 'c'), ('c', 'c')
Note that elements are treated as unique depending on their position in the input, not their actual values.
The itertools.count function now has a step argument that allows incrementing by values other than 1. count() also now allows keyword arguments, and using non-integer values such as floats or Decimal instances. (Implemented by Raymond Hettinger; issue 5032.)
itertools.combinations() and itertools.product() were previously raising ValueError for values of r larger than the input iterable. This was deemed a specification error, so they now return an empty iterator. (Fixed by Raymond Hettinger; issue 4816.)
The json module was upgraded to version 2.0.9 of the simplejson package, which includes a C extension that makes encoding and decoding faster. (Contributed by Bob Ippolito; issue 4136.)
To support the new OrderedDict type, json.load() now has an optional object_pairs_hook parameter that will be called with any object literal that decodes to a list of pairs. (Contributed by Raymond Hettinger; issue 5381.)
The multiprocessing module's Manager* classes can now be passed a callable that will be called whenever a subprocess is started, along with a set of arguments that will be passed to the callable. (Contributed by lekma; issue 5585.)
The pydoc module now has help for the various symbols that Python uses. You can now do help('<<') or help('@'), for example. (Contributed by David Laban; issue 4739.)
The re module's split(), sub(), and subn() now accept an optional flags argument, for consistency with the other functions in the module. (Added by Gregory P. Smith.)
New function: the subprocess module's check_output() runs a command with a specified set of arguments and returns the command's output as a string when the command runs without error, or raises a CalledProcessError exception otherwise.
>>> subprocess.check_output(['df', '-h', '.'])
'Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on\n
/dev/disk0s2 52G 49G 3.0G 94% /\n'
>>> subprocess.check_output(['df', '-h', '/bogus'])
subprocess.CalledProcessError: Command '['df', '-h', '/bogus']' returned non-zero exit status 1
(Contributed by Gregory P. Smith.)
New function: is_declared_global() in the symtable module returns true for variables that are explicitly declared to be global, false for ones that are implicitly global. (Contributed by Jeremy Hylton.)
The sys.version_info value is now a named tuple, with attributes named major, minor, micro, releaselevel, and serial. (Contributed by Ross Light; issue 4285.)
The threading module's Event.wait() method now returns the internal flag on exit. This means the method will usually return true because wait() is supposed to block until the internal flag becomes true. The return value will only be false if a timeout was provided and the operation timed out. (Contributed by XXX; issue 1674032.)
The unittest module was enhanced in several ways. The progress messages will now show 'x' for expected failures and 'u' for unexpected successes when run in verbose mode. (Contributed by Benjamin Peterson.) Test cases can raise the SkipTest exception to skip a test. (issue 1034053.)
The error messages for assertEqual(), assertTrue(), and assertFalse() failures now provide more information. If you set the longMessage attribute of your TestCase classes to true, both the standard error message and any additional message you provide will be printed for failures. (Added by Michael Foord; issue 5663.)
The assertRaises() and failUnlessRaises() methods now return a context handler when called without providing a callable object to run. For example, you can write this:
with self.assertRaises(KeyError):
raise ValueError
(Implemented by Antoine Pitrou; issue 4444.)
The methods addCleanup() and doCleanups() were added. addCleanup() allows you to add cleanup functions that will be called unconditionally (after setUp() if setUp() fails, otherwise after tearDown()). This allows for much simpler resource allocation and deallocation during tests. issue 5679
A number of new methods were added that provide more specialized tests. Many of these methods were written by Google engineers for use in their test suites; Gregory P. Smith, Michael Foord, and GvR worked on merging them into Python's version of unittest.
unittest.main() now takes an optional exit argument. If False main doesn't call sys.exit() allowing it to be used from the interactive interpreter. issue 3379.
TestResult has new startTestRun() and stopTestRun() methods; called immediately before and after a test run. issue 5728 by Robert Collins.
The is_zipfile() function in the zipfile module will now accept a file object, in addition to the path names accepted in earlier versions. (Contributed by Gabriel Genellina; issue 4756.)
zipfile now supports archiving empty directories and extracts them correctly. (Fixed by Kuba Wieczorek; issue 4710.)
Python 3.1 includes the importlib package, a re-implementation of the logic underlying Python's import statement. importlib is useful for implementors of Python interpreters and to user who wish to write new importers that can participate in the import process. Python 2.7 doesn't contain the complete importlib package, but instead has a tiny subset that contains a single function, import_module().
import_module(*name*, *package*=None) imports a module. name is a string containing the module or package's name. It's possible to do relative imports by providing a string that begins with a . character, such as ..utils.errors. For relative imports, the package argument must be provided and is the name of the package that will be used as the anchor for the relative import. import_module() both inserts the imported module into sys.modules and returns the module object.
Here are some examples:
>>> from importlib import import_module
>>> anydbm = import_module('anydbm') # Standard absolute import
>>> anydbm
<module 'anydbm' from '/p/python/Lib/anydbm.py'>
>>> # Relative import
>>> sysconfig = import_module('..sysconfig', 'distutils.command')
>>> sysconfig
<module 'distutils.sysconfig' from '/p/python/Lib/distutils/sysconfig.pyc'>
importlib was implemented by Brett Cannon and introduced in Python 3.1.
Tcl/Tk 8.5 includes a set of themed widgets that re-implement basic Tk widgets but have a more customizable appearance and can therefore more closely resemble the native platform's widgets. This widget set was originally called Tile, but was renamed to Ttk (for "themed Tk") on being added to Tcl/Tck release 8.5.
XXX write a brief discussion and an example here.
The ttk module was written by Guilherme Polo and added in issue 2983. An alternate version called Tile.py, written by Martin Franklin and maintained by Kevin Walzer, was proposed for inclusion in issue 2618, but the authors argued that Guilherme Polo's work was more comprehensive.

Husbands, The Monkey House, Friday, January 25
Playing ska music is inherently problematic for two specific reasons. First of all, the typical skinny-tie-wearing, porkpie-hat-clad outfit has, on average, like, 10 members. It's hard enough to coordinate the schedules of your average power trio, let alone a ragtag assortment of guitarists, keybordists, horn players, vocalists and dancers. Musicians are a notoriously flaky lot, and that's especially true of the band-camp flunkies who usually populate ska ensembles.
The second debacle owes more to the rudimentary nature of the genre and likely explains why its popularity ebbs and flows. Frankly, there's only so much you can do, musically speaking, when every rhythmic pattern is based on the upbeat. Perhaps not coincidentally, it's also the same reason that most current reggae bands tend to sound alike. Well, that and synapses dulled by extraordinarily good weed.
There's actually a third, if somewhat ancillary, problem: Coming up with a good band name that includes the word "ska." Best ska pun ever? Mephiskapheles. Hands down.
Local newbies Husbands [1] address these issues — even the name thing, which they wisely ignore — head on. They have a mere five members — guitar, bass, drums, keys and vocals, no horns — so they're a relatively lean, mean skankin' machine. In ska terms, they're practically a solo act. And, Husbands borrow heavily from third-wave ska, a period categorized by the integration of myriad genres into the ska template, leading to an explosion of hybrids from the late 1980s through the mid-1990s. Specifically, ska-punk.
On a recent Friday evening, I journeyed to The Monkey House in Winooski to catch my first glimpse of Burlington's ska-punk revivalists.
I arrive with barely a second to spare. The first distortion-fueled riffs emanate from the stage in the corner just as the bouncer stamps my hand. (Which has yet to wash off, by the way. I swear, by the time I retire, the back of my right hand is going to have a quarter-sized black smudge still imprinted in it. That just can't be healthy.)
It's still relatively early in the evening, but a sizeable crowd has formed around the floor-level stage. I make my way towards the bar, zig-zagging through a throng of head-bobbing hipster types. No one's skanking yet — the only dance you're allowed to do at a ska show. But like I said, it's still early.
The evening has a decidedly PB Army feel to it, so I order a Pabst tallboy just as the band finishes its first number — a high-energy, if somewhat ragged, tune with a few rusty changes — and receives a modestly enthusiastic response. With little banter or fanfare, they launch into another song. And then another. Gradually, as the sound man irons out the mix — always a challenging endeavor at the Monkey — and the band loosens up, the sound solidifies. Still, no skanking. But the crowd is growing more receptive, the head-bobbing more pronounced.
Their fourth tune — I never was able to get my hands on a set list, or the full names of the band members — is an all-out oi! assault reminscent of The Bouncing Souls, with a nifty little rocksteady bridge. I'm beginning to feel a bit nostalgic and start to recognize influences en masse. My thoughts read like a "who's who" of third-wave ska-punk. Mustard Plug, Skankin' Pickle, Operation Ivy (duh), MU330, Voodoo Glow Skulls, Less Than Jake. The list goes on as bands I'd long forgotten about reenter my consciousness. It's as if Husbands are some sort of mystical time-traveling conduit to my teenage years. Which reminds me of my other favorite ska pun: Flux Skapacitor.
They tear through the remainder of their set, again with a healthy dose of raw-punk energy and a bare minimum of crowd interaction. No one ever does skank, as far as I can tell. Perhaps everyone else is awash in two-tone sentimentality, too.
Husbands are still a relatively new band and, as such, display many of the predictable shortcomings. Their changes are sometimes sloppy. Tempos surge and drag. The band tends to play like five musicians instead of one unit. These things take time, but if they keep playing, they'll no doubt smooth the edges. Judging from the studio tracks available on Husbands' MySpace page [1], they may have already.
But, with very few exceptions — Skavoovie & The Epitones and Let's Go Bowling come to mind — ska has never been about musical virtuosity. Nor has punk, for that matter. It's supposed to be fun.

text: Stayed for one night prior to dining at Le Manoir (just 10 minutes away). Stayed in the annex which was bright, warm and extremely comfortable. Sonja really friendly and helpful. Breakfast taken in the main house was very good. So much more than a B&B would recommend to anyone wanting a relaxing stay on the outskirts of Oxford.

Thursday was official sector news day as policy decisions from the ECB and the BoE hit the wires early in the trading day in North America. Coming in with less of a surprise than Sarah Palin's not running for the US Presidency, the ECB left rates unchanged at 1.5% citing conditions in the eurozone. The reins at Europe's central bank will be handed over by Mr. Trichet next month to the current head of Italy's central bank, Mario Draghi. That gentleman has his job cut out for him as he steps into the office being vacated by Mr. Trichet after eight years.
Pundits expect a cut in the ECB's key lending rate sometime between December and March. Mr. Trichet urged European banks to reinforce their balance sheets during the press conference he held after the rate decision announcement. He was echoing the sentiment of Juan Manuel Barroso (President of the European Commission) who said that his agency is attempting to get its member states to recapitalize the banks in the region. Presumably, a fresh round of "stress tests" is in the offing for the banking sector in Europe. This, in order to avert bigger "stress" already quite manifest in the markets and among investors.
Meanwhile, Bloomberg Business Week reports that "In a dramatic turnaround, a senior official for the International Monetary Fund is retracting an earlier statement that the IMF could intervene in bond markets to support struggling Italy and Spain. Antonio Borges says that "The fund can only lend its resources to countries, and cannot use these resources to intervene in bond markets directly." The latest twist comes at a time when anxiety levels are on the rise about the state of the European financial system. France and Belgium are seen as trying their best to keep Dexia Bank from being the first major European lender to roll over and expire since the end of the 2008 credit crunch. The waiting game is on.
No waiting over in London; the Bank of England announced that it will buy 75 billion pounds in government bonds in an attempt not to let inflation fall under the critical, targeted rate of 2 percent. The BoE noted that global expansion has "slackened" sufficiently for it to have made its latest easing maneuver. The pound took a swift pounding in the wake of the bond purchase news and it promptly fell to a 15-month low against the US currency. The latter kept the recent spring in its step intact and advanced about 0.45 on the trade-weighted index to touch 79.41 this morning.
Against this background, the precious metals markets opened 'in the green' but gold parted company with the rest of the complex and headed a tad lower. Spot New York dealings opened with a loss of $4.6 for the yellow metal; its bid-side quote was indicated at $1,638.00 the ounce. Bounce-backs to perhaps as high a level as $1,700 are feasible as the metal consolidates from its recent $1,532 low but the next target (as opined by EW analysis) appears to be $1,300.00 per ounce. For the moment, bullion appears confined to the $1,575-$1,675 channel but we all know that out-sized, intra-day moves can easily push that envelope and test its limits (see Monday's $80+ swing for reference).
Silver started off with a gain of one quarter dollar at the $30.76 level this morning. Whether or not a sprint towards the recent $33.60 high is in the cards remains unclear, however a breach of the spike low that was recently touched at the $26 mark could likely usher in a dip to the $22-$25 value zone. Platinum and palladium staged double-digit recoveries this morning, with the former rising $12 to $1,499.00 per ounce and the latter gaining $19 to touch the $595.00 mark.
Standard Bank (SA) analysts project that palladium's supply will fall well short of demand and result in an "ever growing deficit" over the coming half-decade. They also feel that platinum will eventually fall into a deficit paradigm as well, but not likely prior to 2014. The team sees price progress to the upside in the two noble metals as a function not as much of demand-pull but of cost-push. Recent declines have brought platinum and palladium much closer to production costs. From a strict investment perspective, and not factoring in the requirement for a core gold insurance position, it is still most likely that the next batch of returns will come from the noble niche as opposed to gold and/or silver.
In the background, the dollar remained steady and crude oil advanced fifty cents to the $80.16 per barrel level as equity traders prepared for today's opening. The Dow's focus might center on the untimely passing of Apple CEO Steve Jobs and on how the firm's sharers react to it. We tip our hat and then remove it altogether for the innovator that Mr. Jobs was. It is quite safe to say that he has changed the daily life of many of us in one way or another. Initial jobless claims did not pick up on the positive theme that the ADP report offered the other day; the report noted a bump of 6,000 claims for benefits, to the 401,000 mark. Economists had expected a rise in filings of 19,000 on the reporting period, and thus the news was received as largely positive.
President Obama is expected to make a fresh plea (make that a push) to US lawmakers today to pass his jobs plan. US economic growth at better-than-anemic levels is possibly hinging on the passage of the plan, according to economists. The US President is also likely to endorse a "millionaire's surtax" -- a rate increase on those earning $1 million or more. Mr. Obama will speak at 11 a.m. ET.
The jobs-and-tax two-pronged approach recently outlined by Mr. Obama would add to US GDP. The question is: just how much? One economist estimates that the full plan – if enacted – would yield a US GDP growth rate at 3% in lieu of the projected 2% level of expansion in 2012. If only the tax portion of the plan becomes reality, then that would add only about 0.50% to America's GDP.
Meanwhile, as we noted early this week, the one economy that shows signs about which many should worry a whole lot more, is that of China. Writing for Roubini Global Economics' EconoMonitor, associate Professor (Tsinghua University School of Economics in Beijing) Patrick Chovanec lays bare the economic landscape in China and has some quite alarming findings to relay. This is a piece well-worth your reading time. It throws a potential cold and very wet blanket on all those "insatiable Chinese commodity demand" "mantras" you have been force-fed incessantly over the past five years in various newsletters and by various commodity celebrities (Rogers, Faber, etc.).
For starters, Prof. Chovanec focuses on – what else? – China's real estate problem. Of late, a gap is developing between primary and secondary housing values in many a first-tier metropolitan area in China. "In several cities across China, prices in primary housing markets (developers selling to homeowners) have begun falling away from those in secondary markets (homeowners selling to other homeowners)" notes the Professor.
Ever heard the story of the crab-fishing village in China which suddenly turned into a boom-town replete with 800 BMWs, 600 Mercedes, 500 Audis, 50 Porsches, and one each Lamborghini, Ferrari, and Maserati? It's real. Then, there is the possibly even wilder story of a "Hong Kong-listed baby formula producer that was loading up on loans and relending the money to non-ferrous metals, tungsten, and highway companies."
Professor Chovanec observes that "When companies neglect their core business and start speculating in "hot" sectors they know nothing about, especially with borrowed money, it's a sure sign the market is out of whack. Sometimes it's because companies themselves are caught up in the "irrational exuberance" of a speculative bubble. Other times, it's because inflation, price controls, credit controls, or other factors are distorting normal incentives. In any case, it's a big red flag that something is seriously wrong."
Until tomorrow,

The founders of Energy Beverages Worldwide Ltd (?Enerbev?) wanted to develop the most convenient and easily consumable way to acquire energy with style. Enerbev also wanted a product that was packed with vitamins and anti-oxidants (healthy), had a nice taste (drinkable), was portable and could be consumed at any time, and had stylish, quality packaging. Enerbev is proud to introduce 9-2-5 Energy Shot. 9-2-5 is a 60 ml energy shot that tastes great with a Black Cherry Flavor, provides a huge boost with no after-crash, can be consumed very quickly at any time, and can be carried in your pocket, purse, sport bag, or backpack- basically anywhere you can put your mobile phone- 9-2-5 Energy Shot is there. In addition, 9-2-5 Energy Shot has 200 mg of caffeine per 100 ml of fluid. The small 9-2-5 Bottle has more caffeine than 2 cans of an average energy drink, a 500 ml bottle/ can of the value energy drinks, 500 ml of coffee 1,875 ounces of a cola, or 2000 ounces of green tea. In addition, 9-2-5 Energy shot is Full of Vitamins: B6 (250% of Recommended Daily Allowance (?RDA?), B12 (13883% of RDA), and B3(250% of RDA). To top it all off, 9-2-5 Energy Shot is High in Anti-Oxidants since it contains Green Tea, Yerba Mate, and Ginseng. All this energy, vitamins, and anti-oxidants in such a small bottle with only 6 calories per serving. Considering the portability, ability to consume hot or cold, lack of need for a restroom, and stylish packaging, why would you want to drink anything else?

1 pound ground pork sausage
1/2 cup minced onion
1/2 cup minced green bell pepper
1 (16 ounce) container sour cream
1 1/2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon hot pepper sauce (such as Tabasco®)
salt and ground black pepper to taste
4 eggs, beaten
This was delicious. I liked the tang of the sour cream. I had a little bit of ricotta to use up so that went in too. I would like to make this again soemtime, but I would add a green veggie and use a spicier sausage for my tastes
