Friday Night Cake Club For 1/16/15
Decorating By catlharper Updated 20 Jan 2015 , 10:40pm by theresaf
Opening up another session of the FNCC! Everyone is welcome to share photos of their work, talk about their week, ask for help or provide help if they can!
Hi everyone! Sorry I got a late start! My oldest brother came by with his wife to bring our son a custom painted electric guitar. It was a gift for getting his black belt. My brother does this amazing work and surprised our son with the guitar, amp and case. Simply amazing. Anyways...soon my mom was here and my niece (my brothers daughter) and her two kids and our house was bursting!
Hope everyone had a wonderful week!
ACat - what a lovely surprise for your son. Here's my entry. I now know exactly how not to make a peppa pig cake. It was a bit of a disaster but I'm sure my daughter won't mind. [IMG]http://www.cakecentral.com/content/type/61/id/3321973/width/200/height/400[/IMG]
Whoa slow night for the Fncc! LOVE the Peppa Pig! My granddaughter loves this character!
AWow cat, your son is one lucky lad! A custom electric guitar? How cool is that?! I remember when my dad bought me one, eons ago! Awww..
That's such a cute peppa pig cake @louglou! All cake? RKT head?
Ya, bit slow tonight hey.. I wonder where all our baker friends are.
Here's mine. Mickey mouse clubhouse theme cupcakes for my friend's daughter! [IMG]http://www.cakecentral.com/content/type/61/id/3322127/width/200/height/400[/IMG]
My son's is the multicolored one...the fourth one shown. It's really subtle until it hits the light and then it's just amazing!
Now that I'm caking just for family I don't have anything till mid February. Just working on my photography till then....well, and sifting through our home making the decisions on what gets moved with us in July and what is going to find a new home.
AI don't have a cake yet, but I'm pretty excited about my first gumpaste ranunculus and had to share![IMG ALT=""]http://www.cakecentral.com/content/type/61/id/3322232/width/350/height/700[/IMG]
You did a great job! I haven't tried ranunculus yet. I'm going to be working on Turkish tulips really soon because I need to make them for my son's wedding cake in June.
AThank you! I just googled Turkish Tulips, I don't think I've ever seen them in person - they're so cool! They look Seuss-ian to me.
Well, unfortunately the cutter you purchase that's labeled "Turkish tulip" doesn't look anything like the Turkish tulips you find on Turkish materials or patterns, so I'm not sure what I'm going to do yet. The cutter itself doesn't look any different than the parrot or French tulip, so I'll be looking to see what I can do to make them actually look more Turkish!
ALouglou your daughter will love Peppa pig.
Matty love the cupcakes.
The Ranunculus is amazing CatherineGeorge.
Cat love the guitar it is amazing. Your brother has talent and your son is one lucky kid.
The only baking I have this month is a blackberry wine cake. No decorating required. Lucky me.
A[IMG ALT=""]http://www.cakecentral.com/content/type/61/id/3322261/width/350/height/700[/IMG] Wow, this seems to be a week of trial and error for most of us
@CatherineGeorge your flower looks simply amazing! Wow!
@Marian64 My older brother is like me...all different types of mediums but even I was floored by this one...SO beautiful!
@julia1812 What a pretty feminine little cake! I have one like that coming up...just a little birthday thing for a friend...love the "messy ruffles" idea!
Hope you all have a simply wonderful week!
@Pastrybaglady Those are SO cute! I might pick your brain when we get closer to the end of April. My son has his 14th coming up and it's camo themed...COD technically...so I'm thinking of giving cookies a try. That way if they don't work out it doesn't matter! LOL! But I know absolutely nothing about decorating cookies so I will need help!
@catharper - There are so many awesomely talented cookie decorators on CC, I am certainly learning as well, but any way I could help, hit me up!
AHello everyone!Long time no cake talk! I went on a "cake hiatus" for a while. I work full time as a graphic designer and do this for fun on the weekends. There has been a large demand from family and friends for cakes recently, which lead me to spreading myself entirely too thin. My weekends were all work and no play, with cake creations out the wazoo! Anyhow, I'm feeling completely rejuvenated! I know this post is late, but it's been a hectic weekend that's carried into the week! :/ This weekend we had a Peppa Pig cake and a Dancing Baby Groot cake, from Guardians of Galaxy. Looks like Peppa was a popular choice for the weekend! ;) Great work as usual, everyone!

@triSARAtops your Peppa the Pig is so cute, but I am a huge Groot fan so of course I LOVE your cake!
Oh My! There's only one thing to say about that Groot cake
I am Groot!
It's adorable!

According to the Brita company, which makes water filters, you can save $1,700 a year on water if you use a Brita water filter. They have ads on television emphasizing where all of those bottles of water that we purchase end up in a landfill practically forever. Their website, filerforgood.com also talks about the value in using a filter instead of buying bottles of water.
I've never done the calculations for bottled water. Do some people only consume bottled water even when they are at home? One of the commercials shows a woman sitting in bed reading with a bottle of water on the night stand. I don't think I would ever do this. In general, we purchase bottled water only when we are out at a restaurant that won't serve water for free and won't allow us to bring in drinks (as you can imagine, we don't go to these places very often). we also might purchase some if we find ourselves outside on a hot day and unprepared.
On a recent weekend trip to NYC, we did do just that, purchasing two bottles of water that we shared. We got our bottles for $1 each, but just a very short walk away bottles of water were selling for twice that much at $2 each. For the rest of the trip, we just refilled our water bottles with water from the tap or water fountains (NYC water is some of the finest around). We also bought a large container of juice at a local supermarket to get us through with the kids. Next time, we will come armed with our own reusable water bottles.
At home, we just drink water from the tap or the fridge. Both do have filters, simply because we have well water that contains a lot of minerals. Our water treatment system ensures that there is no bacteria around. When we lived on city water, we went without a filter, drinking straight from the tap.
We do drink mostly water at home, so if we had to relay on bottled water (which may just be tap water in some cases), we might very well spend that amount. As it is, we were out $2 for the weekend.
Do you buy bottled water?

TORONTO -- Bobby Valentine didn't mean the idea. It was the timing he questioned.
After a leadoff single in the seventh, David Ortiz, noting that first baseman Adam Lind was playing behind him, took off for second base in a surprise stolen base attempt.
Toronto catcher J.P. Arencibia fired a pea to second from his knees and Ortiz was called out by second base umpire Ted Barrett, though replays indicated he may have slid in safely.
"Alex (Ochoa, first base coach) and David," said Valentine, "have been talking about if they're going to play behind him and he can get a good jump and pick a good pitch . . ."
Valentine then paused for effect and added: "A one-run game in the seventh inning is a little dicey, you might say, but . . . It's going to get guys to hold him on base and create a hole for guys hitting behind him. I think it's a necessary strategy."
"I was safe, by the way," maintained Ortiz. "That (throw) wasn't fair. He should make those throws when guys are fast."
"I thought (the attempt) was great," added Dustin Pedroia. "J.P. made a heck of a throw. You just tip your hat. But I thought it was a great play."

Ensure Appropriate Payment for Multiple Units of Service Under OCE With Proper Use of Modifiers
Pathology/Lab Coding Alert
Ensure Appropriate Payment for Multiple Units of Service Under OCE With Proper Use of Modifiers
- Published on Mon, Jan 01, 2001
Under Medicares revised outpatient code editor (OCE), coders for hospital outpatient pathology and laboratory services will need to use modifiers appropriately to ensure reimbursement for multiple units of service. The national maximum units of service edits are part of the revision to OCE, which limits the number of times per day a specific CPT code can be reported for an individual patient. Although the revised OCE went into effect August 1, 2000, the maximum unit edits have been delayed until the January 2001 OCE update, according to a HCFA memo.
The maximum unit edits have not yet been made public (as of press time), so it is difficult to estimate the impact the edits might have on your practice or laboratory. You can prepare by learning appropriate coding strategies to override the edits for cases that warrant exceeding the maximum units of service. Under the maximum unit edits, billers must learn how to manage coding in order to be reimbursed for all services provided to hospital outpatients, advises
Laurie Castillo, MA, CPC, CPC-H, CCS-P,
member of the National Advisory Board of the American Academy of Professional Coders (AAPC) and president of its northern Virginia chapter.
When a pathologist or laboratory legitimately provides multiple units of service beyond the maximum established by the OCE, appropriate modifiers must be used to override the maximum unit edits. When reporting multiple units of service, the pathologist must document the repeated tests and support the medical necessity of the procedures.
Use Modifier -59 for Repeat Anatomic Services
To override the maximum unit edits for repeat anatomic pathology services, coders can use modifier -59 (
distinct procedural service
), Castillo says. HCFA program memorandum A-00-35 indicates that if this modifier is present on a line item of an outpatient claim, the unit edits are not applied. Modifier -59 can be used to indicate that special circumstances warrant reporting the given number of units of a procedure, even if it is more than the maximum determined by HCFA. The multiple units might represent a different site or organ system, separate incision/excision, separate lesion or separate injury, as described in the CPT 2001 direction for modifier -59.
For example, if the maximum units for
level IV surgical pathology, gross and microscopic examination
) are established at 10 (as proposed by HCFA), but it is medically necessary for the pathologist to examine 12 separate specimens at that level, use modifier -59. The line items listed for the first 10 units of service should not be reported with the modifier. However, to be reimbursed for the additional two units, list each of them with the -59 modifier.
Modifier -91 for Multiple Units of Lab Tests

About me:If you suspect that carene waterman is a nom de plume, then full marks for you.
I am interested in styles, layouts, CSS, S2, HTML and am planning to continue on with JavaScript and PHP and perhaps more.
I am working on a layout that I'm going to go public with soon.
My web design ethos:Wow, that sounds pompous!
I believe in Universal Design as a guiding principle. This is why I'm attracted to Dreamwidth as a project and as a place to design styles. Their accessibility policy and diversity statement mean that they are building the site based on Universal Design principles.
My style:I am much more a bricks and mortar person than a curtains and frills person. I care more about the layout than the theme, more about the code than the pretty and more about the usability than the skin.
I always design in the browser, and I am 1000% behind the concepts of responsive design.
I love debugging and can't quite figure out how people make styles without good debugging tools.
My projects:In addition to the layout I'm working on I changed the style on this journal every day or so to test drive them and post a review. These reviews are my subjective perception of the design, not objective pronouncements on their worth.
Comments are free and open to all readers. I expect all visitors to behave like responsible adults and to show due care and concern for the feelings of others. Casual expressions of * ism or * phobia are not welcome here.

Vandals and thieves have hit residents' vehicles with everything from water hoses to electric saws throughout the city recently, Chula Vista police said Tuesday.
Eight times in the last six weeks, thieves have used saws to cut off catalytic converters to cash them in at recycling centers for the value of their metal parts, police spokesman Bernard Gonzales said.
"It's a big issue and one we think will increase," Gonzales said. "These thefts go up when there is an increase in the price for metals."
The thieves have hit vehicles parked overnight on J Street, Montana and Westview roads, Melrose and Corte Maria avenues, Camino Vista Real, and Callecita Aquilla Sur.
Gonzales encouraged residents, especially those with Toyota trucks and 4Runners, which have been targeted, to protect their vehicles by asking a mechanic to etch their vehicle identification number onto the catalytic converter. That way, he said, recycling center workers can run the number past police to see if it was stolen before handing over money to a customer.
Vandals caused other trouble for residents over the weekend by shoving garden hoses into two vehicles and flooding them with water, Gonzales said.
He added that vandals continue in a months-long rash of shattering vehicle windows, mostly south of H Street and along Interstate 805. Police have taken about 60 similar reports since May, including six this month, when side or rear windows were shattered by BBs or rocks, Gonzales said, but nothing was stolen.

I want to start out by saying that I choose not to condemn someone I love because her sin is different from my own.
I also want to say that I believe in the ideal of equal rights for everyone in this country. I do not believe that changing the definition of "marriage" is the correct solution to the problem that is before the Supreme Court right now.
I am convinced that any legal marriage performed by a clergy member should continue to be called a "marriage." I believe that any "marriage" performed by an elected or appointed official, i.e. a judge, justice, whatever, should be called a civil union. I believe that a civil union should have the same rights and rules as marriage. Perhaps the license for either union should have a new name, but a spouse will continue to be a spouse, whichever ceremony is performed.
What's so hard about that? Is there a downside to that proposal? It seems so logical to me.

Certain factors determine the output, longevity and success of your organization. An organization takes its life from the human resources within its boundaries and sustains this life from the competition and challenges outside its boundaries. It is the job of the leadership of the organization to constantly strengthen the core and to ensure that the organization is sufficiently prepared to meet the challenges of the market efficiently. To grow and succeed, an organization's principal values need to be strong.
A strong leader is the first component in a plan for success. Find a qualified, experienced person, who can maximize the potential of the employees and create an organizational culture of mutual trust and cooperation. The ability to build a close link with employees, choose reliable and creative managers and to be approachable and inventive are some of the qualities an effective leader needs to lead an organization to success.
Dedicated and Motivated Workforce
The other important factor is a committed workforce. It is the employees who determine and influence the daily business successes of the organization; and the attitude and mentality of the employees plays a huge role in the success of the organization as a whole. Mutual cooperation and honesty are important characteristics; the energy of a workforce and its willingness to meet demands and challenges is a decisive factor in determining the success of an organization.
Will to Succeed
Adaptability and vision are two factors that create strong, competitive and forceful teams. Leaders and employees must be willing to adapt to change, whether the change is internal or external in the market, and then to come up with creative ideas and a vision to push the organization farther on the ladder of success. It is this enthusiasm and self-belief that strengthens the organization's core. The need is for permanent strength as well as the strength required to combat daily challenges.
Organizational Culture
If the organizational culture facilitates and encourages new ideas and developments, then it will succeed; but if there is a culture of mistrust and selfishness, then the organization will stagnate and fail. A culture has to bring the best out in its people and use that best to make the organization successful in the short and long term. Healthy competition, rewards, incentives, bonuses are important derivatives, but it is the human culture, an atmosphere of friendliness and cooperation, that is important as a success factor.

News: The largest synagogue in Germany reopens in Berlin4 09 2007
Germany's largest synagogue (Jewish prayer house), Rykestrasse Synagogue, reopened last Friday in the Prenzlauer Berg district in Berlin. The synagogue underwent a few years of renovation, following decades of neglect.
The event was hailed as a symbol of the revitalization of Jewish life in Germany, and even referred to as "a miracle" by Rabbi Chaim Roswaski, a native of Belarus who came to Berlin in 2000 as part of an influx of Jews from the former Soviet Union, that has made Germany one of the fastest growing Jewish communities in the world (and were they smart…).
Anyway, it appears that the building, which is 103 years old, did not suffer much damage during the Nazi regime, as it was located too near to an apartment block.
The Jewish community in Berlin today has 12,000 registered members, and 8 synagogues. There are about 250,000 Jews in the whole of Germany, some 110,000 of them registered religious community members. Before the Holocaust, there were around 560,000 Jews in Germany.
The reopening of the synagogue marked the opening of 10-day celebration of the "Jewish Culture Days". For some reason, I have been unable to find anything in English about it, but here's the German website, on which you can find a program. There's also a message there from Berlin's mayor, Klaus Wowereit, expressing pride of the renewed blossoming of the Jewish culture in Berlin.
As part of the Jewish culture festival, Berlin Jews also celebrated the opening of a community center run by the Chabad Lubavitch organization on Sunday, with a ceremony followed by a street fair.
We hope to get pictures of the synagogue (and maybe also the Chabad Center) on our next visit, but for the meantime, you can get some photos and more information in these articles from the BBC and der Spiegel in English. And here you can see a nice ancient picture of the synagogue (looks like a stamp, actually).
This is the website of The Jewish Community of Berlin.
And here is the website of the Chabad Lubavitch organization in Berlin.

BROOKSVILLE — It's sportier than a Prius, uses less gas and gleams with a new coat of Sharks blue paint.
After hundreds of hours of labor, students at Nature Coast Technical High School have converted a 2002 Toyota Celica to run on rechargeable batteries.
"It's pretty impressive," said 17-year-old Sean Bobbert, a senior who was among the students who started the project at the end of the 2009-10 school year. "I feel like I've accomplished something with everybody working on this."
All told, about 65 students in electrical and automotive courses had a hand in the effort. About a dozen of them gathered in the school's auto bay Wednesday to put some finishing touches on the car and show off their handiwork.
In this case, using less gas than the Prius, Toyota's hybrid model, means no gas at all.
Students removed the four-cylinder engine and dropped in a Warp 9 electric motor, powered by 44 32-volt lithium ion batteries stacked in the trunk.
They ripped out the trappings of a gasoline-powered motor. The exhaust system is gone, the fuel tank history. Behind the fuel door now is a receptacle for a 110-volt power cord that dumps a full charge into the battery pack in about six to eight hours.
The students installed a 12-volt battery to power the rest of the car's electronics. A box-shaped control module on top of the new motor includes a vacuum system for the power brakes.
Sunk into the dashboard are two new gauges — one for amps, the other for volts — that tell drivers when to plug in. The Celica will travel about 50 to 60 miles on a full charge, depending on driving habits, said teacher Joe Wright, who led the project with help from automotive teacher Kevin Moglia and teaching assistant Dan Murphy.
"It's an everyday, around-town kind of car," Wright said.
Many of the components came in a conversion kit, but that didn't mean the process was easy. Mating the new motor to the existing, six-speed manual transmission posed the biggest challenge, requiring custom machine work.
A $22,000 grant from Progress Energy and support from other businesses made the project possible. Wright brought the idea to the Hernando Education Foundation, which then asked Progress for the funds.
Wright bought the Celica from a Brooksville dealer for $4,200, a price that included a $1,300 discount for returning the original engine. One rim was bent, a piece of the rear spoiler had crumbled, and the stereo and speakers were gone. But otherwise the car was in fair shape.
Students found a stereo and speakers on eBay and chose an environmentally-friendly, water-based paint donated by BASF to match the Sharks' school colors. Justice Collision of Spring Hill donated labor, and GoodRoads of Fort Lauderdale chipped in the five-spoke, alloy rims.
The car, sporting a Nature Coast logo on the back window, weighs about 200 pounds more than it did in stock condition, Wright said. The motor has lots of torque and provides plenty of pickup. Top-end speed is lower than a gas-powered car. But on a solo test drive, Wright pushed the speedometer to 90 mph.
"We'd probably get him in the jump," sophomore Tyler Welsh said when asked how the car might do against a fellow student's stock Celica, "but we'd probably lose in the long run."
The conversion project gives students hands-on lessons in science, technology, engineering and mathematics — STEM courses — that have become a renewed focus in Florida, said education foundation chairman Gus Guadagnino.
It also is a perfect fit for Nature Coast's evolving course offerings to prepare graduates for careers in the ever-growing field of alternative energy, principal Toni-Ann Noyes said.
"It's what business people are looking for," Guadagnino said. "This has to do with creativity and thinking outside of the box."
The school happened to unveil the car on the same day the Obama administration announced stricter fuel economy standards. Cars and light-duty trucks will need to achieve combined fuel-economy standards of 54.5 mpg by 2025.
Electric cars certainly mean more customers for Progress, but the company has a duty to help give students perspective on the need to shift away from fossil fuels, said company spokesman Rob Sumner.
"The more they know about alternative energy, the better off everyone will be," Sumner said.
Freshman Zack Rhoades saw the car in its early stages last year when he visited Nature Coast during orientation. The display of ingenuity, Rhoades said, reaffirmed his decision to attend the school to launch a career as an electrician, focusing in green technologies.
"I'm good at it, you always learn something new and it pays pretty well," Rhoades said.
The Celica garnered an invitation to this weekend's Tampa Bay International Auto Show at the Tampa Convention Center. The students also hope to travel to Orlando next semester to see a professional driver put the car through its paces on a closed race track.
The car's ultimate destination, though, is unclear. There is a chance it might ultimately roll through the world-famous Barrett-Jackson auto auction in Las Vegas, with the proceeds coming back to he school for another project, Wright said.
"It would be tough to see it go," said Bobbert, the senior who saw the project through from start to finish. "I wouldn't mind getting it for myself."

Sundays in the park
I love lazy Sundays. Yesterday I walked to the Riverwalk, about a mile from my house and along the Savannah River, to read all afternoon. It was too nice of a day to stay indoors working online. I've decided to make all Sundays from now on "no work" days. My one day of the week that I do not allow myself to work on my business at home.
This little park at Eighth Street is my new favorite place. I spread out a sheet and enjoyed the sunny weather. Before coming down to the park, I stopped at New Moon and picked up a chicken sandwich and a peach strawberry smoothie. I really need to invest in a cute little picnic basket and a bike rack so I can prepare food at home and ride up here. I can't wait for picnics!
Skirt: thrifted, $2. Shirt: repurposed, gift.
Belt: thrifted $1. Hat: Plato's Closet, $5.
After reading for a few hours, and falling asleep a few times, I walked up to Pizza Joint to meet some friends. Snapped this picture (above) in a local store window. I planned on taking pictures with my DSLR at the park but as soon as I got out my Nikon, and framed my first picture my camera said "no SD card inserted". I could have thrown something. Typical Sally. I forget everything!

Not what I expected
By Jeannette
from Valencia, CA
I guess I expected more than just a ribbon when I ordered this - so was surprised when I got a ribbon, and just a ribbon. I know that the description says "ribbon" - but the picture (which was what I was looking at) had the presentation box - so I was disappointed, and won't order this product again.
Ribbon is nice, but it needs a box.

The product is of high quality.
Service and delivery comments:
I thought I was ordering boxes AND ribbon. I take full responsibility but would have super impressed had I received an e-mail or phone call from Baudville regarding the missing boxes on my order. Missed opportunties...
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

GULFPORT — With a chance to talk about her standout play following Boca Ciega's 43-35 win Thursday night over rival St. Petersburg, Pirates guard Tamara Taylor politely declined.
"She's a little shy," Boca Ciega coach Will White said.
No worries; Taylor's play spoke volumes.
On a night when most had trouble finding the basket and only three players hit double figures, Taylor keyed a big first-quarter run that proved to be the difference. During a 15-0 spurt for the Pirates (4-0), the 5-foot-9 junior, widely regarded as one of the state's top college prospects in her class, scored seven of her team-high 17 points.
St. Petersburg (2-1) never fully recovered.
The game otherwise was anything but pretty.
Neither team shot particularly well. Neither took great care of the ball.
But both, to their credit, slugged and scraped during every possession.
"It was very sloppy," White said. "But I liked our intensity."
Taylor had help from senior guard Latavia Dempsey (11 points), and freshman starters Kyra Edwards, Kenya Joseph and Alexis Ungro, who admittedly were nervous making their first home starts in a packed gymnasium.
"I think we could have done a lot better offensively," Ungro said. "We could have passed the ball better and gotten more looks."
St. Petersburg trailed by as much as 17, but didn't fold. Behind junior guard Kamika Idom (21 points), it closed to within eight with 1:26 left. But a Taylor layup pushed the lead back into double figures and that was that.

Facing The First Test
Submitted by Edgar on
By Brett Voss.
After putting the pads on for the first time this season last Friday morning, Meridian's first-year head coach Chris Roberts wasted no time finding out what his new players looked like going full speed. As a prelude to their first scrimmage at Gorman this Friday evening, the Yellowjackets took the practice field last Saturday morning for an inter-squad scrimmage.

- //Tim David Kelly
I think I'm suffering from a little known malady presumably confined to music critics. Unofficially labelled Press Bio Fatigue, or in short PBF, it triggers violent convulsions and leaves the afflicted a quivering, slobbering mess. The common cause is over-exposure to promotional biographies that waste incalculable seconds of valuable life by having to read such time-honoured phrases as: "X, who has previously toured with Paul McCartney, believes this album is his finest work to date, etc etc".
OK, so I exaggerate a little, but the press bio is all too often recognition by association, a potted history that spews out superlatives yet reveals nothing noteworthy about the music it is supposedly referring to.
Tim David Kelly
Growing Up Naked
So what's all this got to do with Tim David Kelly? And who the Hell IS Tim David Kelly? The answer to both is that Kelly, a true independent artist in every sense of the word, doesn't flagrantly abuse the English language by sending out such biographies with his CDs—he just lets his music say everything instead.
Whether you remember Tim from MCA act Kicking Harold or not, you'll find that Growing Up Naked is filled with the kind of vital, kick-ass modern rock that makes you grateful for an underground scene. And as a release free from marketing plans, executive interference and label politics, where virtually every note you hear is performed and produced by Kelly, it becomes all the more impressive.
When you also consider that at least half of this record is "radio ready" (that's Press bio speak to emphasise great melody and commercial potential), it's a shame that Tim's current lack of a manager, label, or all-embracing relationship with MTV means that the great songs on here probably won't get the exposure they warrant. Overall, the music is a mix of gentle, yet starkly effective acoustic pieces ("Track Twelve" and "She Breaks Down"), combined with aggressive post-grunge rock ("Broken on the Inside", "Twisted and Fried", "Grow") and melodic masterpieces ("1000 Miles…", "Maybe It's True", "Nothing's Going Right"). If comparisons must be made, it's the bastard son of a union between Nirvana and the Goo Goo Dolls.
Kelly's vocals shine but leave room for some edgy lead and rhythm guitar and his lyrics display a skill for chronicling everyday emotions or activities with a dash of honesty, humour and irony. Nowhere is this more evident than on opener "The Laundry Song" where the underpants and socks wash-cycle is transformed into an interesting stream of consciousness: "The socks enjoy the static like mothballs in the attic / The basket screams for water / It never ends". Further proof of some great rock-pop song-writing comes on the aforementioned "1000 Miles From Lonely", an acoustic based tune that screams out to be granted a wider audience and one that could just turn the screw for him.
You get the picture by now I hope. If you think I am suffering from the delirious after-effects of PBF, go to www.cdbaby.com, buy the record and judge for yourself. Oh and Nurse, pass me my pills—I have some promo packages to open.

Attached patch makes changes described to write() variants. What do you think? I conducted a little test to verify that I correctly changed all call sites - implicit casts can be tricky. Once I had finished changing the function names and their call sites, I provided an overload of write with const wxChar*, complete with implementation/definition. I then provided just a declaration of all the old overloads of write(). I wanted to see if I got any linker errors. The idea of the wxChar* variant (the one with the implementation) is to prevent any write(const wxString&, const wxChar*) calls from calling my write(bool) declaration, as they prefer that to write(const wxString&, const wxString&) . Anyway, none of the old declarations were called, and I saw no linker errors. -- Regards, Peter Geoghegan

Frank and Aiden Gosiak spend three weeks seeing the sights
By Tina Snell, Staff Writer
Frank Gosiak and his son, Aiden, 17, both of Little Falls, took the trip of a lifetime this past summer. The two began by touring the Ireland by following the coast clockwise starting in Dublin. They hopped a ferry to Scotland and also saw parts of England, traveling from July 7 – 30.
It was Aiden's choice to see Ireland.
"Years ago, I was looking at what I thought were images of Ireland in a National Geographic magazine," he said.
For five years, he researched the country in anticipation of the trip.
"Before we left, I found the magazine I read years ago and learned the article was about Iceland," he said.
"Dublin is a humongous city; an insane city," said Aiden. "So much traffic. The inner city was very confusing."
Frank remembers the car they rented, supposedly a mid-sized vehicle, turned out to be a tiny Suzuki.
"People drive on the left side and the roads are very narrow," he said. "The signs are difficult to understand. We wouldn't have survived without GPS."
People seemed to be driving 70 miles per hour, said Frank, and when they would meet another vehicle on the road, one would have to pull over, to the left.
"It's impossible to pass another car," Frank said.
The two stayed in Dublin for two days. They visited the Kilmainham Gaol, built in 1796 to house prisoners of all ages. Men, mainly political prisoners, women and children were kept sometimes five to a cell. It was decommissioned in 1924 and opened to the public in 1971.
The Gosiaks also visited several cathedrals while in Dublin.
"They are huge, old and awesome," said Aiden. Both father and son were impressed with the maintenance of the older buildings in Ireland, some around 1,000 years old.
"The churches used a lot of marble in their construction. They were very ornate and traditional," said Frank.
Frank and Aiden then drove south from Dublin, located on the east coast of Ireland, to Dunganstown, where the Kennedy's ancestral home is located. They also toured their first castle.
One night was spent in a small town where the two attended a concert.
"We listened to a musician who plays with Celtic Women," said Frank. "The concert was just Irish and Celtic music and cloggers. Surprisingly, the theater was almost empty."
Frank and Aiden discovered that most pubs in Ireland have Irish and Celtic singers and dancers, so a concert with Celtic music is not a big thing to the Irish.
From there, the two followed the southern coast to the west, to the town of Cobh, near Cork.
"It was very hilly, rocky and very old," said Aiden. "There were huge clipper ships in port."
The two had planned on doing a lot of camping throughout Ireland, but discovered there weren't many campgrounds available.
"No one camps there, I guess," said Frank.
They also found out it usually rains a lot in the summer, but not when they were visiting.
"There was no rain during the 22 days we were traveling," Frank said. He also commented on how hot it was.
While in the southwest portion of the island, the Gosiaks toured the Ring of Kerry. The circular drive of about 120 miles, took them through mountains, the Emerald Hills, by lakes and wonderful coastal views.
A portion of the Ring of Kerry took the travelers to the city of Killarney where they were able to visit Ross Castle built in the 15th century. On site was an old mission building allegedly destroyed by Henry VIII during his reign in the first half of the 1500s.
"There we saw a sacred yew by the ruins which was planted by monks more than 600 years ago," said Frank.
Near Killarney, they visited Muckross House where Queen Victoria stayed one night. According to history, the owners undertook improvements to the house in anticipation of the one-night visit, which ultimately contributed to their financial difficulties. The house had to be sold.
A bit farther north along the western coast, the travelers wanted to camp on the Dingle Peninsula.
"We saw a sign that pointed to 'Camp,' so we took the road. We traveled on sheep trails, through mountains and saw no buildings for the longest time," said Aiden. "After three hours of driving, we came to a town named 'Camp.'"
There were no campgrounds, but the owner of a pub said that if the two bought dinner, they could sleep in the pasture, with the sheep. They did.
Also on the Dingle Peninsula, Frank and Aiden stayed at a hostel where they were able to camp in the yard. There they met other travelers from around the world.
"I really connected with them," said Aiden. "That was a highlight of the trip for me."
While traveling in the southern part of Ireland, the two had very little trouble understanding the English accents of the Irish. But when they began to head north on the west coast, more and more people spoke Gaelic, which was harder to understand.
Both the Gosiaks loved the food in Ireland.
"There is less fat than we find in the United States," said Frank. "They use different spices like curry. Their diets are good."
Their favorite restaurant was in Dublin: Tony's Fish and Chips.
"Dad had to return to Tony's when we got back to Dublin, but we couldn't find the restaurant. We drove all over," said Aiden. "When we stopped to ask someone, we were told it was right around the corner. If the man hadn't known where it was, we were giving up."
Off the tip of the Dingle Peninsula is a group of islands named the Blaskets. While there, Frank and Aiden learned about the people who once inhabited the main island from possibly the late 1500s to 1954. So isolated, they spoke their own language.
During the boat ride, they were able to see dolphins. At another time, further north, they were able to see puffins.
"As a birder, I had to see them," said Frank.
The two learned the Irish are very concerned about what they have, what their country is all about. They are protective of their natural resources since the British took a lot away from them, said Frank.
"So much has vanished, the Irish want to preserve what they have left," he said.
Continuing north along the west coast of the Emerald Isle, they saw the cities of Galway, Derry and Castle Rock.
"We saw so many castles and cathedrals up to this point, we were not excited about seeing more," said Aiden.
Derry, on the border of Ireland and Northern Ireland and is a walled city with inner and outer portions. Frank said that the centuries of fighting was brought up in most conversations.
"There are two sectors of the city," said Frank. "The Catholics and the Protestants. There are still problems between the two."
The Gosiaks stayed out of troubled areas of the city.
"Belfast has issues. There are fences around most of the homes," said Frank. "But it's a beautiful city."
On the northern coast of Northern Ireland, Frank and Aiden stopped at Giant's Causeway, a geological phenomenon created by an ancient volcanic eruption. The area, overlooking the North Channel between the Irish Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, is covered with spires of basalt. Those spires are mostly six-sided, but many are four, five, seven or eight sides. They are close together and the flat tops create steps. The tallest ones are nearly 40 feet high.
In Irish lore, the causeway was created by the Irish giant Fionn who was to fight the Scottish giant Benandonner. He built a much larger causeway to connect the two countries, but most was destroyed when Benandonner fled.
After Frank and Aiden visited the alleged haunted Dark Forest of Ireland, they took a ferry to Scotland. There they visited friends of Frank's who he knew when teaching in England in 1991.
The Gosiaks then traveled to York, England, and toured York Minster, the second largest Gothic cathedral in northern Europe. While several churches were on the same site since about 627, the current building was started in about 1230 and was completed in 1472. Over the centuries, it has been added on to when fire destroyed various areas. Restoration is ongoing.
Frank and Aiden also visited Alnwick Castle where the Harry Potter movies were filmed. There they saw an incredible 42-acre garden, one of the most amazing stops of the trip.
"There were mazes, arched plants, huge tree houses and bridges between trees," said Aiden of the garden which first opened in 2001.
Their next stop was Edinburgh, Scotland, which dates back to the seventh century. Then they went to the central part of Scotland and the seaport of Glasgow on the River Clyde which flows into Firth of Clyde and the Irish Sea.
To Aiden, the best part of the trip was the hostel where he and his father met the travelers from around the world. He also loved the gardens at Alnwick Castle.
Frank said his most cherished memory was spending three weeks traveling with Aiden.
"I learned so much more about Aiden and what his interests are," he said. "It was a great trip."

One of the persistent frustrations of engaging in any kind of debate anywhere is when one person misinterprets what another has said, and then attacks it on that basis. Sometimes it's understandable, if what was originally said was vague. Sometimes it's done maliciously, just to make the targeted view easier to attack (with perhaps a dose of self-deception behind it). But sometimes, I see misinterpretations that are totally bizarre in ways that would be unnecessary if the goal was merely to attack the view, and sometimes those cases show up in ways that makes me think there's no malice behind it. What's up with that?
Often, what I think is going on is basically this: Alice says something, and Bob filters it through a bunch of assumptions he shares but Alice doesn't. But rather than clearly see and then explain the disagreement to his audience, Bob just re-states Alice's view in a way that implies all those assumptions that Alice doesn't share, and launches into his critique from there. Cue Alice's "WTF!?"
A recent example of this comes from someone named Froborr, talking about some things Greta Christina's written (HT: Ophelia):
So, according to Greta Christina, her primary goal as an atheist is to make most of the world's population suffer the trauma of losing their faith, so that they can then be better (read: more Greta Christina-like) people with truer (read: more similar to Greta Christina's) beliefs. And I should be okay with this, because she promises not to use legal coercion or violence to bring it about.
I am not okay with this.
Here, the key assumptions that Greta is making include that it's generally better to believe truths than falsehoods, and that God does not in fact exist. Note that that doesn't entail thinking that if you get one particular issue right, that means you're automatically a better person overall than people who get the issue wrong. And with people who don't share Greta's assumptions, I think they can be expected to understand why, given that Greta makes those assumptions, she has the view she does of this issue.Froborr describes Greta's position as a matter of just wanting other people to be like her. Which is an utterly ridiculous way of describing her position. Obviously I think my beliefs are (mostly) true (see the preface paradox), but that doesn't mean me being pro-truth is just a matter of me being pro-other-people-being-like-me. Aside from the preface paradox, I may generally like it when other people to agree with me, but I don't much care if they, say, adopt my style of dress, career plans, or otherwise become like me in other ways.
Froborr, however, seems to think there's not much of a distinction between "being pro-truth" and "thinking everyone should be like you." Why not? Well… I could guess, but I honestly don't know. Froborr doesn't say. They just work that assumption into their description of Greta's view. And because the author feels no real compulsion to explain what they think about that, or why they think it, that makes this an unusually useless article, and difficult to even give a worthwhile response to.
This maybe isn't Froborr, but I think some people who do this think they're being charitable or clarifying what you said or whatever. Because hey, their assumptions are correct, and who wouldn't want their view re-stated in terms of the correct assumptions? In reality, though, even doing this with the best of intentions tends to cause confusion at best, and may just get the other understandably pissed off at having their views misrepresented.

Two new grapefruit types have begun popping up at farmers markets and even in stores. The "Cocktail Grapefruit" (retailing for about $1 each) is actually a mandelo, a sweet cross of two mandarin varieties and a pomelo. Think bright grapefruit flavor without the pucker. It was first developed in 1966 at UC Riverside. It has thin skin and brilliant orange flesh — and a lot of seeds, which makes it perfect for juicing. The second is the Oro Blanco ($1.50) or white gold grapefruit. This also was developed at UC Riverside and first crossed in 1958. It has a very thick, spongy rind, which tells you that one of its parents is a pomelo. The other is a low-acid white grapefruit. The result is sweet, very juicy and seedless, with a wonderful floral aroma.
If you have been told by your doctor to stay away from grapefruit, it's because the citrus contains furanocoumarins, which interfere with how your body breaks down certain cholesterol drugs. The buildup in your body is similar to what would happen if you took many doses of medication instead of one. My mission? To get a younger generation hooked on grapefruit and other fresh produce now and help prevent high cholesterol and the need for those prescription drugs.

Homework Questions? Ask a Tutor for Answers ASAP
Hi there, did you select a topic? Looking forward to working with you, have a pleasant day o/
hello, thank you for answering but i found another site that helped me.
i do have another question though
hello Toneemarie, this is my question.
Analyzing a reading After reading the essay, answer the questions under "Composing Processes and Knowledge of Conventions: The Writer's Strategies" at the end of the essay. Your analysis should be at least 250 words. Name the essay you chose and use MLA format to cite specific examples from the essay in your response to the questions.
When Women Go to War
Anne Applebaum, a member of the Washington Post editorial board, writes a column that usually appears each Wednesday. Applebaum was born in Washington, D.C. She has a degree from Yale University and was a Marshall Scholar at the London School of Economics and St. Antony's College, Oxford. She was awarded
the Charles Douglas-Home Memorial Trust award for journalism in the ex-Soviet Union in 1992. In 1996, her book Between East and West was given an Adolph Bentinck prize for European nonfi ction. This essay fi rst appeared as a column in the Post in 2003.
The argument about women in combat is over. In fact, it was over three years ago, when two female sailors were among the victims of the bombing of the USS Cole. Women had been serving aboard U.S. combat ships only since 1994, yet these deaths—the first time any female sailor had been killed in hostile action onboard—did not lead to a reversal of policy. No special outrage accompanied the sight of "women in body bags" being brought home for burial, as many had predicted, either then or during the 1991 Persian Gulf War. Now, as we fight a new Gulf war, women constitute nearly a sixth of the armed forces. More than 90 percent of service positions, including most combat positions, are open to women. Although these facts have been noted once or twice in recent days, they have provoked no special angst. Right now, women are flying helicopters, launching missiles and dropping bombs on Iraqi cities, and American civilization has not collapsed as a result. But if the argument about women in combat is over, the conversation about women in the military should not be—just as the conversation about women in the law, or in business, or in factories did not end when more women took those jobs. To see why, look no further than this week's front pages, some of which feature the face of Army Spec. Shoshana Johnson, a POW in Iraq and the single mother of a 2-year-old. Johnson's fate is heartbreaking, but it is not entirely unique. Johnson's child is one of tens of thousands who have been left behind while their mothers—or their mothers and their fathers—go off to war. Is there anything wrong with that? That is, is there anything wrong with the fact that Johnson was where she was when she was, "in harm's way," as the Army puts it? Some think not. Carolyn Becraft, assistant secretary of the Navy in the Clinton administration, puts the case like this: "This is a volunteer military. Everyone who stays is there of their own free will. This is their job. These are the conditions of their employment. If they have children, they still have to be available for worldwide deployment." Official policy is no different, and no wonder. After the long struggle for acceptance, higher-ranking women in particular loathe the idea of treating mothers and fathers differently. Dig a little deeper, though, and the angst is palpable. Very far off the record, one high-ranking Pentagon official admits to being deeply disturbed by photographs of women hugging their babies before leaving for war. "We're the United States of America. How can we ask a young woman to leave her infant?" A military women's Web site burns with acrimony. "My husband is on a ship already and we are overseas. I have no one to care for my child if we are both underway," writes one. Another has no sympathy: "As a childless single woman working hard to cover up the slack that foolish pregnant women like you give the military, I and others have every right to be mad." The awareness of a stereotype—that women get pregnant on ships in order to be sent home—leads another to describe the "shame" she felt after a planned pregnancy led to her discharge from the Navy and to write of how she longs, once again, "to serve my country with pride." Should she be able to? In civilXXXXX XXXXXfe, it would be easy. Whereas many among the first generation of female lawyers, like the first generation of female fighter pilots, took two-week maternity leaves or refused to have children at all, those in the second generation—my generation—happily take off a year, or fi ve years, or work three days a week indefinitely. This isn't because younger women have sold out, but because they, and the working world, have made a series of imperfect compromises. Women give up some seniority, and sometimes some money. In exchange, they get some time. Many, if not all, find this a fair compromise. It is in this sense that the military now needs to catch up to the civilian world, to make that same generational shift. The American military offers its enlisted men and women enormous choices of training and education. Why shouldn't they also be offered the chance to take a
few years off, and then to reenlist, with no stigma attached? The military takes dozens of factors into consideration when it deploys people. Why shouldn't single mothers be deliberately kept out of harm's way? Military traditions make some of these questions starker and harder than they would be in civilXXXXX XXXXXfe, but it doesn't make them illegitimate. In fact, it is only when the armed forces are comfortable enough with women to treat them differently, and only when military mothers are comfortable enough to be treated differently, that we will know they have truly arrived.
here is the question
Composing Processes and Knowledge of Conventions:
The Writer's Strategies
1. How successfully has Applebaum used logos, pathos, and ethos? How
might she have used any of these three appeals more convincingly?
2. Where does Applebaum address counterarguments, and how does she
do so? How effective is she in doing this?
i need this before 23 aug 11. thank you
Hi I can answer your new question will post Monday or sooner.
Hi, I forgot you changed the question.
Finishing the discussion questions for Applebaum.
Hi here is the info.
i googled on why i cant go to mediafire.com but i dont have any luck, i am here in england and not sure if that make a difference since i have a british internet provider. time difference sux too since you probably sleeping right now. is there any other way i can get the file. i tried switching browser to firefox/cleared cache/restart computer/turn off anti virus/ still did not work. i think mediafire is block in this country
Hi which style guide?
The cites and references are MLA format 2010.
Hi, I responded to your other post. This is the same as the new question right?
HI should post before 1030 pm. You did not give the writers title? Which is needed for first question.

Leppert still refuses to commit as gay-friendly in last-minute interview
Mayoral candidate Tom Leppert again this week refused to say whether he is gay-friendly even after the Dallas Voice was asked by a third party to do one last interview to clarify the candidate's position on LGBT issues.
"I don't know what the definition is," Leppert told Dallas Voice on Thursday afternoon, June 14. "I think we need to be inclusive of everybody in this community, so you can go ahead and put whatever definition you want to it."
Leppert's opponent in the June 16 mayoral runoff, openly gay City Councilman Ed Oakley, later said he believes Leppert's response is indicative of his background.
"I think that if he truly understood our community, it would have been an easy answer," Oakley said. "He clearly doesn't know how to answer the question because he has not had interaction with our community."
It was one of several LGBT-related issues Leppert addressed during the last-minute, 15-minute sit-down interview with the Voice at his campaign headquarters.
Leppert again denied involvement with recent anti-gay attacks on Oakley. Those attacks included a robo call last weekend saying the three biggest issues in the race are "crime, education and homosexuality." The call was sent out by the Heritage Alliance. There also was an e-mail sent out by the ultraconservative Eagle Forum this week attacking Oakley for being gay.
"When I've heard about some of these other things, the first thing that we have done is said, "'We don't want it,'" Leppert said. "'If people send that stuff out that I view as negative, I will tell them, "'Don't send it out.'"
Campaign mailers earlier this year included a photograph of Leppert with LaNeil Wright Spivy, a longtime leader of the Dallas Eagle Forum.
But Leppert said he has no affiliation with the group.
"To be truthful, I'm not sure I could tell you what Eagle Forum was," he said. "I assume it's a Republican group the way you said it to me."
But Oakley later noted that at least two people pictured in Leppert's campaign mailers and television ads are "deeply rooted" in the Eagle Forum.
"I don't know how he can say he doesn't know what the Eagle Forum is," Oakley said.
In the interview Leppert explained, "I didn't choose her [Spivey]. It was the folks that were doing the pictures. I visited with her. She seemed like a nice person to me."
As an example of his inclusiveness, Leppert pointed to his recent appearance at a candidate forum sponsored by the North Texas GLBT Chamber of Commerce.
"I had five people come up to me afterward and say: "'You switched my vote. I'm going to vote for you.' So I've got people from every part of the community who are supporting me."
Asked why he never used the words "gay" or "lesbian" during the forum, Leppert said it was because the questions already contained those words.
"They were specific questions that were based on gay, lesbian, bisexual," he said. "I'm a little bit lost by your question to be truthful with you."
Asked whether he has any gay friends, Leppert initially said he was unsure, then switched to yes. But then he said he wasn't sure what it meant to be "open or out."
"There are people that are friends of mine and there are parts of their personal lives that I probably don't know about, but it's also not an issue to me. I don't look in terms in labels."
Asked about his religion, Leppert said he is Christian. Asked whether he believes homosexuality is immoral, he said: "I don't make judgments on people."
Oakley has accused Leppert of conducting a whisper campaign, attempting to spread the word that Oakley is gay without appearing to be behind the effort. But Leppert insists the accusation is false.
"It is important to me," Leppert said. "My reputation is important. I've always been someone who's been known for being fair, being open and engaging everybody.
"On a personal basis," he added, "when someone makes charges like that, I don't think that's right. I realize people in campaigns can say anything they want, but it's not right and it's not how I've conducted myself."

Perry works overtime for another win
Kenny Perry beat a pair of unheralded players with New England connections - Brad Adamonis and Jay Williamson - in a playoff to win the John Deere Classic in Silvis, Ill., and escape with his third victory in five starts after bogeying the 18th hole yesterday.
Perry had a one-stroke lead at 17 under par through 17 only to lose it thanks to some poor shots from the fringe on the final hole of regulation. He and Williamson then watched as Adamonis, the PGA Tour's oldest rookie at 35, missed an 18-foot putt for birdie that would have won it in regulation and given him his first victory.
The ball stopped 3 feet short and Adamonis was at 16-under 268 with the others.
"I know there was a chance to win," he said. "I was like, 'Wow, this is pretty awesome.' I didn't hit a very good putt, but maybe next time."
On the first hole of the sudden-death playoff, No. 18, Adamonis (of Cumberland, R.I.) and Williamson (Trinity College) both hit approach shots into the pond. Perry tapped in from 16 inches for par and the victory after his 24-footer stopped just short.
He picked the ball out of the cup and raised both arms, an ear-to-ear grin crossing his face.
He's enjoying the best stretch of his career and collected $756,000 with his 12th victory.
"I told my dad I was going to make the PGA Tour and win a tournament," Perry said. "My goal was never to be a superstar. I just wanted to make a living and support my kids."
Perry (1-under 70), Adamonis (70), and Williamson (69) were one stroke ahead of Charlie Wi (69), Will MacKenzie (70), and Eric Axley (69) after 72 holes.
Williamson earned an invitation to the British Open and, unlike Perry, accepted it.
Now second behind Tiger Woods in the
LPGA - Paula Creamer shot a 2-over 73 and did just enough to make a big lead stand, going wire-to-wire to win the Jamie Farr Owens
Creamer, who captured her seventh career win and her third this season, had worse scores every day after breaking the tournament record with an 11-under 60 in the first round. She followed that with a 65 and a 70 to finish at 16-under 268, two shots better than Nicole Castrale who closed fast with a 64.
The 21-year-old Californian saw her lead drop to a shot when rookie Shanshan Feng - the first exempt player from China to play on the LPGA Tour - pushed her with five birdies through the first 11 holes. But Feng had three straight bogeys down the stretch.
Eun-Hee Ji (72) was third at 271. Feng had a 69 for a total of 272, followed by Karrie Webb (70) at 273.
After the lead fell to one stroke, Creamer recovered with her only birdie of the round at the 13th hole - around the time Feng began her string of bogeys. After Creamer missed a 3-foot par putt at the 16th hole, she had safe, two-putt pars on the final two holes to clinch the victory.
Ahead by four shots to start the round, Creamer made the best of a bad situation on the first hole. Her drive on the short par-4 hole was in heavy, sodden rough near a trap. Rather than try to muscle a long iron to the green and run the risk of hitting into a wide creek, she punched out a few feet into the fairway. From there, she spun her approach off the front of the green and down the middle of a large hill. Her third shot barely stayed on the front edge - almost spinning back down to where she hit it. But then she made an uphill 15-foot putt to save bogey.
European - Graeme McDowell won the Scottish Open with three straight birdies on the back nine for a 3-under 68 and a two-stroke victory over James Kingston (66) at Loch Lomond GC in Luss.
Phil Mickelson had a 73 and finished 11 shots off the lead in a tie for 38th.
McDowell, a former star at the University of Alabama-Birmingham, trailed Simon Khan by two shots until Khan double bogeyed the 12th. McDowell then birdied the next three holes to move ahead and went on to win with a total of 13-under 271.

I've changed pg_namespace_aclcheck() to the following: # BEGIN if (isTempNamespace(nsp_oid)) { if (pg_database_aclcheck(MyDatabaseId, GetUserId(), ACL_CREATE_TEMP) == ACLCHECK_OK) return ACLCHECK_OK; else return ACLCHECK_NO_PRIV; } # END Which works alright, but I'm worried you'll think it will lead the user astray if they don't have TEMP privs on the database and set their search path to an already existing be pg_temp_%d (created by a user who does have TEMP privs). I think it's reasonably easy to justify the confusion in that most users will be smacked with the 'permission denied to create temporary tables in database "test"' message when they try CREATE TEMP TABLE foo(i INT); since most users won't be using a FUNCTION to create temp tables. > (Since the temp namespace is created as owned by the superuser, > ordinary > users would always fail to create temp tables without this escape > hatch.) > I am not at all convinced that this check could be removed, but I also > wonder whether its presence doesn't create some issues that are > security > holes if we adopt your definition of how temp table creation ought to > behave. With the aclcheck now moved into pg_namespace_aclcheck() - which gets used everywhere already - I would think this would be as secure as what we've got right now. For a bit I was concerned about a user and superuser creating a temp table with the same name and thought about creating a temp schema for each backend and each user, but backed off from that because it would add a fair amount of complexity. > This is pretty much a non-argument, as there is no part of it that says > that you have to revoke the right to create temp tables from Joe User. > What is necessary and sufficient is that the particular temp table you > want to keep your info in has to be owned by, and only accessible to, > the more-privileged account.

I do need to REVOKE TEMP privs to reduce unauthorized users from creating temp tables and filling up my disk. I know I could simply, "not allow unauthorized users/clients from accessing your database," (I do that on 99/100 of my databases, but in this case I can't/don't want to) but I've got a device that runs PostgreSQL and is secured to the point that I've opened it up for public connections without fear of information loss to unauthorized parties. -sc Post patch: test=> SHOW search_path; search_path ------------------- pg_temp_2, public (1 row) test=> SELECT public.setuid_wrapper(); -- Create's the temp table && schema setuid_wrapper ---------------- t (1 row) test=> \dt List of relations Schema | Name | Type | Owner -----------+--------+-------+------- pg_temp_2 | tmptbl | table | sean (1 row) test=> CREATE SEQUENCE tmp_seq; CREATE SEQUENCE test=> \ds List of relations Schema | Name | Type | Owner --------+-----------+----------+------- public | tmp_seq | sequence | nxad (1 row) test=> CREATE SEQUENCE pg_temp_2.tmp2_seq; ERROR: permission denied for schema pg_temp_2 test=> CREATE FUNCTION pg_temp_2.foo() RETURNS BOOL AS 'BEGIN RETURN TRUE; END;' LANGUAGE 'plpgsql'; ERROR: permission denied for schema pg_temp_2 My only gripe about what I've is with the wording in the following use case: ## BEGIN -- The schema pg_temp_2 doesn't exist right now. test=> SHOW search_path ; search_path ------------- pg_temp_2 (1 row) test=> CREATE sequence foo_seq; ERROR: no schema has been selected to create in test=> SELECT public.setuid_wrapper(); -- This function creates a temp namespace && table setuid_wrapper ---------------- t (1 row) test=> CREATE sequence foo_seq; ERROR: no schema has been selected to create in ## END Ideally the wording should be different (ie, "can't create an object in a temp namespace without TEMP permissions"), but in most cases people won't use pg_temp_%d as the only namespace in their search_path so I don't think this is a big issue. Please feel free to editorialize the comments. I don't think anything is needed in namespace.c now that things work as expected, but there's something there.

text: Politics 9 February 2010 MPs prepare to vote on electoral reform referendum Commons expected to approve plans to hold a referendum on the alternative vote system Sign up for our weekly email * MPs are to vote this afternoon on Gordon Brown's plan for a referendum on changing Britain's first-past-the-post voting system. The prime minister has proposed replacing it with the alternative vote (AV) method, which allows voters to rank candidates in order of preference. Amendments tabled to Jack Straw's constitutional reform bill would require a referendum to be held by the end of October 2011. The Tories oppose the move, with David Cameron yesterday accusing Brown of a "a cynical attempt to save his own skin". The Liberal Democrats hope to amend the bill to offer voters the choice of a more proportional system -- the single transferable vote - instead of AV. Brown has presented the move as part of a "new politics" which could restore public trust in Parliament in the wake of the expenses scandal. But his belated support for electoral reform is also designed to win over the Liberal Democrats in the event of a hung parliament. Follow the New Statesman team on Twitter.
