Freaky Celebrity Women
Lucky Dogs: Women Who Have Admitted To Being Big Freaks In The Bed
Freaky Celebrity Women
You what's better than having a banger? Having a banger that's willing to get really freaky with you. If you're lucky to be with these people then count your blessings. And while most celebrities like to be mum about their bedtime rituals, some like to tell the world how they get down.
These ladies are not only bangers, but they'll make your toes curl. Fantastic.
Paula Patton –She's said that she keeps her marriage spicy by making Robin Thicke's toes curl when they get home from tour. Like hours of sex. We mention how much we hate Robin Thicke?
Beyonce – She's told the world how she likes to try out her dances for Jigga and throws on some high heels to make him throw up the Roc whenever she wants.
Coco – Her and Ice T have said their secret to success was heart-pounding sex 3-4 times a week. Also, not banging nobody rappers helps too.
Angelina Jolie –She's never strayed from the fact she's loved getting as freaky as possible with her man. Back in the day she would even cut herself during sex.
Gabrielle Union – She's played freaky flirty games with D Wade on Twitter and isn't shy to talk about what she wants. Also one secret athlete's wife has put her on blast for her freaky ways.
Superhead – Dude, she wrote a book about it.
Continue Slideshow
Mariah Carey – Actually Nick Cannon said it, but the fact is he and Mariah get freaky to her music.
Heidi Klum – She said she likes to dress up and try some things "out of the norm"…we bet.
Olivia Wilde – She said that she and her man have sex like "Kenyan marathon runners." Cot damn.
Jada Pinkett-Smith – She said she likes to try things in other people's houses or even pull over on the side of the road.
Jessica Simpson – She said that when she was pregnant the big O was "the biggest O ever." Crazy.
Zoe Saldana – We'll let her quote to Marie tell it: "I like missionary and I like being on my knees too…And I love being on top … I love doggy-style or standing up."

TORONTO, March 3 (UPI) -- Firefighters in Toronto had to free a 24-year-old partygoer from a safe that he entered on a dare and then got stuck in for about 30 minutes.
Emergency responders were dispatched to a vacant store before midnight Saturday after receiving a report that a man was stuck in a safe, the Toronto Star reported.
The man spent about a half hour in the safe before he was cut out, police said.
Officials gave conflicting accounts as to how large the safe was -- one described it as
"very large" and the other said it was small -- but all said alcohol was involved in the incident.
The man did not require medical attention after the incident.

Because the BL3 has been closed this week, I havent been able to do my usual research. So Ive been using my lab time to clean and reorganize the lab. I even rented one of those tiny bulldozers to clean out a long forgotten storage room so we could use it.
I found lots of great stuff, like pictures of the former department heads wife in shorts ripped across the butt (PIs loved that one) and 20 year old Scientific Americans.
The January 1988 SciAmerican has an article titled 'Scientific American, 50 and 100 years ago.' Its made up of blurbs from top stories in 1938 and 1888. You all will not believe one of the blurbs from 1888. Yes, 100 years ago*:
January 1888-- "The success of the anti-vaccinationists has been aptly shown by the results in Zurich, Switzerland, where for a number of years, until 1883, a culpulsory vaccination law obtained, and smallpox was wholly prevented-- not a single case occurred in 1882. This result was seized upon the following year by the antivaccinationists and used against the necessity for any such law, and it seems they had sufficient influence to cause its repeal. The death returns for that year (1883) showed that for every 1,000 deaths two were caused by smallpox; In 1884 there were three; in 1885, 17, and in the first quarter of 1886, 85."Wow. Today we are getting the exact same arguments from the MMR folks-- "We dont need to vaccinate against measles! No one gets measles!", with the same results...
Thats nuts.
* The wording is a little weird, but I swear its word-for-word.

University of Hawaii awards inaugural Stars of Oceania Scholarships to Pacific Islands students
Two $1,000-scholarships awarded to UH students at Kapiolani CC and UH ManoaUniversity of Hawaiʻi
External Affairs & University Relations
HONOLULU — The University of Hawaiʻi is proud to announce the first recipients of the Stars of Oceania Scholarship—Jansen Santos of Pohnpei and Tamera Heine of the Marshall Islands. The Stars of Oceania Scholarship is awarded to University of Hawaiʻi students who are from the Pacific Islands or students conducting work that benefits Pacific Island countries. Santos and Heine have each been awarded a $1,000 scholarship for the 2007-2008 academic year.
"The University of Hawaiʻi acknowledges and appreciates the special relationship Hawaiʻi has with the Pacific Islands," said UH President David McClain. "These two students epitomize the potential there is for the university to contribute to the improvement of this region by providing access to a quality, global education for the people of the Pacific Islands."
A graduate of PICS High School in Pohnpei and a student at Kapiʻolani Community College, Santos is working towards an associate's degree that he expects to receive in May 2008. In addition to his studies and working full-time, Santos is a participant in the UH Mānoa Undergraduate Mentoring in Environmental Biology program, which is an interdisciplinary program in environmental science designed for students from the Pacific Islands and funded by the National Science Foundation. He hopes to return to Pohnpei one day as a medical professional and conduct research into medicinal plants.
Heine is a full-time student at UH Mānoa where she is pursuing a bachelor's degree in political science. A graduate of Assumption High School in the Marshall Islands, she hopes to be an educator and to return to the Marshall Islands to aid in fulfilling their need for teachers. She is particularly interested in teaching history and geography to high school students as she feels these subjects will allow students to become worldlier and to know the world beyond their local environment. In addition to her studies, Heine participated in a service learning project during her first semester at UH Mānoa, volunteering at an afterschool program for disadvantaged youth at the Palolo Valley Homes.
The Stars of Oceania Scholarship was created in November 2006 through a fundraising effort that included a celebration of the lives of nine outstanding leaders from the Pacific Islands region, or Oceania. The scholarship has three purposes: 1) to assist Pacific Islander students who are admitted to a UH campus; 2) to provide tuition assistance for UH students who are involved in course-related internships, research or work that benefits Pacific Island countries; and 3) to provide travel grants for students who are involved in Pacific-related work that benefits Pacific Island countries.
The Pacific Island countries include American Samoa, Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Cook Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, Futuna, Kiribati, Nauru, New Caledonia, Niue, Republic of Palau, Republic of the Marshall Islands, Solomon Islands, Tokelau, Tonga, Tuvalu, Vanuatu, and Wallis.
Those wishing to contribute to the Stars of Oceania Scholarship Program may send contributions designated to the "Stars of Oceania Scholarship Endowment" to the University of Hawaiʻi Foundation, P.O. Box 11270, Honolulu, HI, 96828, or give online at www.uhf.hawaii.edu.

Liberal Foodie is back this time with a lovely Summer Gnocchi. It's 28 degrees C here so it really is like summer and what a perfect dish to celebrate! Well it was 28 degrees a few days ago!
And, first-timer Francois from FX's Kitchen Adventures brings us a stunning Broccoli Pasta from Sicily with lots of fabulous photos. It was hard to choose just one to show off this dish.
Shirley of Melting Wok is another first time PPNer and she shares this lip-smacking dish of Spaghetti Stir Fry with Portobello Mushrooms & Steak. A hearty, comfort food if ever there was one.
Gattina of Kitchen Unplugged is back with the most festive looking dish yet! It's a two-tone lasagnette with dried scallops, cannelli beans and water chestnuts. I love how inventive she always is.
Another regular PPNer is Sher of What Did You Eat? and she cooked up the cutest Gemelli with Sweet Sausage and Spinach. I love the curly pasta and her great story really brought me back to my childhood. I, too, didn't know there was actually a real variety of pasta until I got married and had my own kitchen.
How cool is this....the next email I got was from Tigerfish over at Teczcape (another awesome PPNer). She made Rotini with Spicy Sausage and Spinach. So now we have bigger twisty noodles and spicier sausages....I love them both!
Lis of La Mia Cucina, one of my favorite blogs is back with this wonderful dish of Pasta Shells with Tuna, Spinach, Hearts of Palm & Grape Tomatoes. Doesn't it look great and perfect for Spring?!
Sara of La Cucina di San Lorenzo is a first timer at PPN. Welcome!!! She makes pasta often, so I really hope she'll shares many more of her dishes with us. Ths Orecchietti with Broccoli looks awesome!!!
Ulrike of Kuchenlatein is back - always a treat. This time she shares a Beany Pasta Pot that was a real hit with her sons. I love the idea of frying up an apple with the beans.
Judith of Think On It is here again and this time shares a funny story about her friend who said he'd cook dinner and then not only forgot to shop, he also forgot about the cooking offer! So here's her "presto pasta" that's so presto, it's scary - Onions, Bacon, Tomato & Cheese.
Deborah over at Humble Housewife, loves things spicy, but even she got carried away this time, so be careful when making this Hot Hot, Oh so Hot Singapore Noodle dish.
Mary, the wonderful Breadchick, continues to amaze me with her microwave cooking. This time around she makes this stunning Tomato with Basil & Cilantro Pasta. Who'd believe it was concocted to use up the leftovers in her fridge!
Haalo at Cook Almost Anything is back - so glad to see - with this delightful bowl of Vegetable Soup with Orzo. I love how Springy the peas make the dish look and how comforting it will be for the fog that just rolled in here in Halifax. So much for the summer-like weather of the last few days.
Chris of Melecotte is back with these delicious looking (and I'm sure tasting) homemade Ravioli with Ricotta, Sage and Sundried Tomatoes. Aren't they just the prettiest things?!
Last up is my entry has tuna..actually, my only dealing with tuna up to now has been in a sandwich and (a very long time ago) in a casserole . The tuna casserole was one of the few dishes I knew how to make back in the '70's. But this dish is so good that it will definitely grace our table often. It's just a simple dish of pasta with Tuna, Anchovies, Eggplant and Parsley (with lots of garlic, naturally).
Somehow I never got Lorraine of Italian Foodies (sometimes modern technology is not all it claims to be). She sent this fabulous recipe for Penne Con Tonno e Limone. Wow, that makes three tuna recipes this time around and all of them different and equally wonderful.
I will be adding late additions to this week's Presto Pasta Night until Saturday. Any I receive after that will be part of next week's PPN Event. So don't forget to join the fun with the rest of us Presto Pasta Nighters. It's easy and fun. Remember that ALL noodles dishes count as pasta and "presto" or "lento" (I think that means slow) are perfect.
Find out how right here. In the meantime...Happy Pasta Eating!!!

First and fifth ingredients are named meat products
Inadequate meat content, controversial filler
The first ingredient is a named meat product. It is not a meal ingredient, meaning that it is inclusive of water content (about 80%). Once that is removed, as it must be to create a dehydrated product, the ingredient will weigh around 20% of its wet weight. Ingredients are listed in order of weight, and the dehydrated ingredient would probably be more accurately placed much further down the ingredient list. The only true meat ingredient is chicken meal, 5th on the ingredient list. It is thus unlikely that this product contains any significant amount of meat at all (as confirmed by its "dinner" label, which is applied to products containing less than 25% of the suggested meat product by WET weight).
This product is primarily comprised of grains. Rice is a decent quality grain, but wheat is a less desirable ingredient. This is, at least, a whole grain but wheat is very commonly an allergy problem for dogs and we prefer not to see it used in dog foods. Soybean meal is a cheap source of additional protein, but compared to actual meat provides low quality protein. Soy is also commonly an allergy problem for dogs.
We would prefer to see the use of whole eggs rather than egg product in the food, although the range of fruits/vegetables is appreciated. Beet pulp is controversial filler which appears to be used in large quantities in this food. It is a by-product, being dried residue from sugar beets which has been cleaned and extracted in the process of manufacturing sugar. It is a controversial ingredient in dog food, claimed by some manufacturers to be a good source of fibre, and derided by others as an ingredient added to slow down the transition of rancid animal fats and causing stress to kidney and liver in the process. We note that beet pulp is an ingredient that commonly causes problems for dogs, including allergies and ear infections, and prefer not to see it used in dog food. There are less controversial products around if additional fibre is required.

Paper Trail
An unused bedroom is full of old papers -- among much else. Today, my wife was doing some excavation therein, and found some weathering evaluation forms, from a few years back. My clinic began a process some time ago, which (I think) it continues, whereby for every physician every year (now numbering well over 200), a random 100 patients are sent questionnaires, asking about various aspects of their ecounters with that doctor. All docs got summaries; overall, I'd say it was an extremely useful thing. The batch my wife found brought back long-forgotten memories.
Most were unsigned. One was neatly typed, the others hand-written in style varying from scrawl to neat and grandmotherly. Some brief, some overflowing the alloted spaces. The ages were indicated, and they ranged from 5 (in a mother's hand) to 85. Without exception, what they said was really nice, every last one of them. "You made me feel so comfortable." "You really seemed to care." "You explained everything clearly and thorougly." "I've never had a doctor who came to see me twice a day. I really appreciated it." "I was scared, and you took the time to make me feel comfortable." "Well, you didn't tell me how great I'd feel." "I wish you were my regular doctor."
And here's the thing: while I was reading them, I felt warm and good. Now, I feel really bad. I tossed them in the garbage. (No, not the garbage of course: the recycling bag.) I think it's a Woody Allen sort of thing.

Aww, how nice Dr S. With everything you've posted those nice comments aren't surprising. It'd great to have positive feedback. Even negative can be constructive if heeded.
You no doubt are a stronger soul than I because I cannot part with anything written. And when I do it is painful. I am a sentimental saver for sure!
I wish I knew how people can do that because we only need just so much and probably don't need that.
My uncle said once,"You spend half your life trying to accumulate things and then you spend the 2nd half of your life trying to get rid of it."
I hope you don't mind but I linked one of your posts to my most recent post and used some of my comments in that post. :)
Hey Dr. S, this brings up a great question! I recently had gallbladder surgery and had some resulting complications a few days later (pulmonary embolism).
I think my surgeon did a fantastic job with the surgery and with my treatment/recovery in the aftermath of the embolism.
However, he doesn't present much of a sentimental side, simply that "just the facts" attitude. Would a thank you card be in order? Or does he think he's just doing his job? Just curious for your opinion...do you get thank you cards?
- Sid Schwab said...
Speaking for myself, I loved getting thank you notes, and I'd guess any doctor does. I should look around. I have all of those somewhere, too. I'd say: do it.
Thanks, that was my opinion, but thought I would check. I love your blog, it was a great resource as I was preparing for my surgery.
I loved this post! I like the example in the Bible, about God forgiving those who have the most to be forgiven for because they are the most grateful. I think its the same with injury and life - I have more to be grateful for because I was resuscitated and ended up not being paralyzed, so my gratitude for my trauma surgeon is unending in the form of an eventual college diploma and continued updates and thank yous (Shakespeare said that one thank you isn't always enough).

Boulder Valley Humane gets 50,000th dog to be saved by PetSmart Charities program
When Dawn, a gentle Golden Retriever, arrived in Boulder this week she was greeted with a red carpet welcome and another shot at life.
Dawn, 7, had languished in a New Mexico shelter after being relinquished by her new family after six months.
Had she remained, her fate most likely would have been euthanasia.
Instead, Dawn had the good fortune to be picked up, along with about 29 other dogs, and taken to the Humane Society of Boulder Valley.
The program that rescued Dawn is called Rescue Waggin', a mission of mercy operated by PetSmart Charities, the nonprofit arm of the pet store chain.
Rescue Waggin' sends teams out around the country to take homeless dogs from shelters with low adoption rates and deliver them to ones such as Boulder Valley Humane, where their chance of adoption is much higher.
Thousands of dogs have been saved in this manner — 50,000, in fact. Dog number 50,000 was Dawn, which accounts for the red carpet welcome with all the trimmings.

As the world eagerly awaits the release of the 23rd James Bond thriller "Skyfall," one man with local ties has already been there, done that.
John Cork was honored to be invited to the world premiere in London of the movie, and walked the red carpet, along with his 13-year-old son, and the movie's stars, director and producer.
Cork is the son of WaterSound Beach resident Betty Cork and spends a considerable amount of time here visiting her at her beach home. The remainder of the year, when not traveling, he resides in Carmel, Calif.
Cork grew up a huge fan of the legendary and debonair fictional spy, and remembers the first Bond book he read: "Casino Royale," on the beach in Destin in 1974.
After beginning his career as a screenwriter, in 1993 Cork was hired to help the Bond powers that be come up with new ideas for their spy.
"We wrote a character Bible for them of who we thought James Bond should be in the 1990s," he said.
Since founding his Cloverland documentary production company 1999, Cork has done a great deal of work for Bond producers.
"I have lost count of the number of documentaries I have worked on," he said, although he estimates the number to be at least a couple hundred.
He has seen all the Bond movies, worked all the releases except for two, read all the Bond novels, and knows all those who wrote them.
Cork has also co-authored three books for the Bond producers: "James Bond the Legacy;" "James Bond Encyclopedia;" and "Bond Girls are Forever."
In speaking out on Bond, if one characteristic sets the fictional spy apart from mere mortal men, Cork feels it is Bond's confidence.
"He knows exactly who he is," surmises Cork. "Most of us in life would love to have that sense of certainty. Bond embraces adversity and all things in life that for most of us would be difficult. That's a fun fantasy to have that we could live like that."
As for his favorite Bond, Cork doesn't hesitate when he answers: Sean Connery.
"Sean Connery set the mold. Connery had a wonderful sense of calm about him as Bond. He was like a coiled snake, but ready to strike. And he was incredibly attractive to women, which could be intimidating," he said. "However, I enjoy certain traits about all of them."
Even though Connery is Cork's standout choice, he said Daniel Craig comes in a close second.
At the premiere Oct. 23, Cork and his son walked the red carpet along with the Prince of Wales.
"No one throws a more lavish premiere," he said. "Everyone is in a good mood and it's done with a flourish. It was a very nice entrance and there was an amazing party afterwards � the food, the light show was all great. And there is no better way to experience it than through the eyes of a 13-year-old boy."
Cork, who spoke on Bond at Rosemary Beach in July. said "Skyfall" is tremendously different from the other Bond thrillers.
"It changes in a number of areas, expectations, and is more emotionally intimate, which is remarkably different. All the other elements are there with action and beautiful women. I highly recommend it. It may be the best ever.�

Butterscotch hiking
In North Vancouver, Grouse Mountain (the BCMC) – here's Owen Wilson who was joined this weekend by his brother Andrew and Woody Harrelson getting in a workout on the weekend. He completed the hike in 56 minutes just behind Andrew and well ahead of Woody who took an hour and 20 minutes. Also with Owen: a woman purported to be his steady girlfriend, with whom he's less mindful of being photographed. Unlike that mysterious blonde who was spotted with him a few week ago around town. And of course the randoms he has been approaching around the city. I know it's flattering girls, but you are not alone. After all, his nickname is the Butterscotch Stallion. Maybe Owen's just really friendly.
Owen is still in town shooting The Big Year with Steve Martin and Jack Black. I'm told Martin last week was at the Heffel auction bidding very seriously (and successfully) on two Lawren Harris paintings. The man appreciates Canadian art.

When it comes to using your personal water craft (PWC) for the first time, the key words to remember are preparation and safety. Don't just jump in and get your feet wet before following the helpful tips below. The more prepared you are now, the more fun and thrills you can safely have later out there on the water.
- Become very familiar with its operation and maintenance before you put it in the water for the first time by reading the owner's manual.
- Be aware that most PWC's have greatly diminished or no steering without application of throttle.
- Always wear Coast Guard approved flotation devices for operator and every passenger (these must always be worn).
- Always have the minimum Coast Guard required safety items on board such as: fire extinguisher and a signaling device.
- Be sure to check local waterway regulations where the PWC will be operated.
- Ensure the PWC is registered and the registration numbers are visible.
- Don't forget to maintain the trailer if the PWC is transported via a trailer.
- Most PWC's are exempt from needing navigation lights. However, if you ride after dark they are required.
- Become familiar with basic seamanship and navigation rules such as overtaking another vessel and right of way rules.
- Take a US Coast Guard approved Safety course.
- Use waterproof sunscreen - because let's face it, these watercraft are predominately used on nice sunny days.
Learn more about personal watercraft safety and remember to contact your State Farm® agent to make sure your watercraft is properly insured.

HOUSTON - Increased understanding of the Skp2 gene and its relation to cellular senescence may lead to the development of novel agents that can suppress tumor development in common types of cancer, researchers from The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center and Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center report in the journal Nature.
Skp2 is involved in promoting cell cycle regulation, cell proliferation, cell growth and the formation of tumors, and it is overexpressed in a variety of human cancers, according to lead author Hui-Kuan Lin, Ph.D., an assistant professor in M. D. Anderson's Department of Molecular and Cellular Oncology.
Lin and colleagues found that inactivating Skp2 after oncogenes are overexpressed stifles cancer growth by causing senescence - the irreversible loss of a cell's ability to divide and grow. Harnessing the power of cellular senescence to push rapidly dividing cells into a dormant state might provide another way to prevent or control common malignancies like prostate cancer.
Experiments Yield Surprising Results
The researchers conducted a series of experiments in tumor cell lines and mouse models that have shed new light on the interplay of Skp2 and cellular senescence.
"We discovered that Skp2 actually exhibits oncogenic activity, which is required for cancer development in multiple tumor models, such as the Pten-deficient and the p19Arf -deficient mouse models," Lin said. "We found that Skp2 regulates tumorigenesis to trigger the cellular senescence program. This program is unexpectedly independent of the p19Arf-p53 pathway, which was previously believed to be critical for cellular senescence."
The researchers also found that induction of cellular senescence did not cause DNA damage, and their results suggest that Skp2 inactivation can suppress cellular transformation to cancer even in the setting of an impaired p19Arf-p53 senescence response.
Moreover, research conducted in mouse models with faulty or inactive tumor suppressor networks showed that Skp2 deficiency and oncogenic signaling elicit a senescence response that restricts formation of tumors.
Novel Findings Point to New Therapeutic Approaches
Lin said these studies suggest that in the future Skp2 might be an effective therapeutic target for tumors with deregulated Akt signaling due to the loss or inactivation of Pten functions. Pten, which is commonly lost in human cancers, acts as a tumor suppressor gene by suppressing Akt signaling. Skp2 and Pten loss are believed to cooperate in triggering cellular senescence to restrict invasive prostate cancer.
"We now want to examine whether Skp2 is required in other tumor model systems, such as a HER2 model, to determine whether it is globally required for an oncogenic event," said Lin, who previously was affiliated with Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center's Department of Pathology and Cancer Biology and Genetics program and continued his research at M. D. Anderson. "We are testing whether Skp2 might be widely used for different types of cancer or perhaps used to trigger this newly described cellular senescence program."
The researchers also are working to develop a Skp2-specific small molecule inhibitor to establish that the protein is indeed an important therapeutic target in cancer treatment. They believe that Skp2-based therapy might also be used as a general cancer treatment that could be combined with existing cancer therapies.
Research was funded by NIH grants to senior author Pier Paolo Pandolfi, M.D., Ph.D., of Memorial Sloan-Kettering, and an M. D. Anderson Trust Scholar Award and U.S. Department of Defense Prostate Cancer New Investigator Award to Lin.
Co-authors with Lin are Szu-Wei Lee, Chan-Hsin Chan, Ph.D., Wei-Lei Yang, and Jing Wang, Ph.D., of M. D. Anderson's Department of Molecular and Cellular Oncology; Zhenbang Chen, Ph.D., Guocan Wang, Ph.D., Caterina Nardella, Ph.D., and Pier Paolo Pandolfi, M.D., Ph.D., all of the Cancer Biology and Genetics Program, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center's Department of Pathology, and the Cancer Genetics Program at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center; Ainara Egia of Beth Israel Deaconess' Cancer Genetics Program; Keiichi I.

Telescope Peak Climber's Log
cbuelow - Apr 28, 2004 2:02 amRoute Climbed: Mahogany Flat Date Climbed: April 25, 2004
Solo hike to the top. Some snow on the way up, with a few hundred feet of slogging and postholing through the snow to the summit up the northeast ridge. Great views all the way.
Guilty - Apr 12, 2004 6:32 pmRoute Climbed: Mahogany Flat Date Climbed: April 10, 04
I brought to much snow gear and didn't need it,(snow-shoes, down vest, parka...) The trail is only snow- covered from BennettsPeak to the summit. The snow was firm, even with the sunshine. R/T 5 hours.
Rick Kent - Mar 29, 2004 1:39 pmRoute Climbed: Mahogany Flat / Ridge Date Climbed: March 28, 2004
Hiked up from Thorndike Campground. Snow/Ice prevented vehicles from driving higher. I avoided the trail on the way up and hiked up and over Rogers and Bennett peaks (used the trail on the way back). As I had hoped the snow had firmed up and snowshoes weren't necessary. Used crampons to go up the Northeast side of Rogers (just for fun) and also on the ridge up to Telescope. Snow on Telescope was real textured, uneven, and crunchy. It was a little icy but not yet a real problem. Only got out the ice axe once on the way down around the NW side of Bennett where snow covered the trail. 75% of the trail was clear of snow but there was still a lot of snow if you wanted it. Weather was excellent. A bit windy and cool at times but surprisingly calm on top.

Sarah and I (the 'belles of stovepipe wells') arrived at mahogany flats in the dark (as is typical). Great hike to the summit next day, light clouds, almost no one else on the trail. Nice gradual climb, even the switchbacks near the end weren't thigh busters. Amazing view of the salt pan in Death Valley from the summit. Outran impending thunderstorm on the way back down. Our fourth visit to Death Vally, and we finally climbed Telescope!
Day Hiker - Dec 28, 2003 12:03 amRoute Climbed: Mahogany Flat Date Climbed: 20 July 2002
It was such a nice day that there was a small snake basking at the summit when I arrived. That's the highest elevation at which I've seen a snake. I would not have guessed that I would find a reptile above 11000 feet.
bennovak - Aug 29, 2003 5:01 pmRoute Climbed: Mohagany Flat Date Climbed: August 24 2003
Nice walk with consistently nice views pretty much the whole way up. Bring plenty of water as it is a dry route and try it later in the day; Having the sun in the east does not make for the best pictures.
Michael Tolchard - Jun 5, 2003 1:11 amRoute Climbed: Mahogany Flat Date Climbed: 17 May 2003
This was my 2nd ascent of Telescope. Quite A change from my first trip in the fall of 2002. Many parts of the switchbacks on the upper mountain we're buried in large snowdrifts. The weather was pretty dreary, with the wind ranging from gusting to non-existant, making for many layer changes.
Michael Tolchard - Jun 3, 2003 11:42 pmRoute Climbed: Mahogany Flat Date Climbed: 20 October 2002
1x Telescope Peak. This is what my idea of a mountain should look like. Great views from Mt. Charleston Peak top the east and Whitney to the northwest.
sierragator - May 20, 2003 7:09 pmRoute Climbed: Mahogany flat Date Climbed: May 17, 2003
We summited in 2.5 hours, back to car in just under 2 hours. The snow had forced us back a month earlier so it was good to summit this peak. Overcast, hazy day.
43moon - May 11, 2003 5:56 pmRoute Climbed: Mahogany Flats Date Climbed: May 10, 2003
We could not allow Telescope Peak to defeat us. Assuming that the last of the cool weather in the Death Valley area is coming to an end, we decided to make another push for the summit.
After setting up our camp site, we hit the trail. There were very small flakes of snow coming down. It looked as if we may be in for a repeat of last week. The snow didn't last long and we made the push.
It was a great day, and I summited at about 3:45pm. The view was amazing. I shall post some pictures later in the week.
There were many people navigating the snow without any snow gear. I used my in-step crampons, and was happy that I had them.

43moon - May 8, 2003 9:04 pmRoute Climbed: From Mahogany Flats Date Climbed: May 03, 2003
We started the climb from the Mahogany Flats campground. The sun was shining, and it looked as if we would make it up to the saddle before we would see much significant snow.
At about 9,000 feet, it started snowing. At about 9,300 feet, the wind and snow was very intense. We were still determined to push for the saddle. At about 9,500 feet, Mother Nature spoke with the sound of thunder. Without debate, this ended our summit attempt.
We returned to camp to find our tents under several inches of snow. We decided to ride it out and see what was going to happen.
About an hour later, the sun was shining again, and the exposed snow was melting. We got out of our tents and started brewing some tea. About half of an hour later, it started snowing again. Within about 45 minutes, our tents were burried even deeper than before.
We were not in a four wheel drive, so we decided to abandon the mountain while we still could.
It looks as if we are going to make another attempt in a few days.

Diggler - May 1, 2003 7:03 pmRoute Climbed: Trail from Mohagany Camp Date Climbed: 11 April, 2003
Hiked with Marianne on 1st day of trip to Death Valley. Started @ noon from Mohagany Camp after hitching ride there w/ 2 guys in a 4WD (didn't get into the Park until 3.30 the night before- ouch!). Weather was great, and summited @ 16.15. Hung out, ate, and chilled until departing @ 17.38. Had great weather throughout day (just a little windy on top), and enjoyed one of the most spectacular sunsets I've ever seen on descent. Got back to Mahogany Camp @ 20.35, and back to Charcoal Kilns and car by 21.13. For some reason, either my feet or my boots had become 'unbroken in' sometime between then & an epic 19-hr excursion to Mt. Dana a 1/2 year ago (where they worked fine!), starting to irritate my feet sometime before 1/2-way up. By the time we'd reached the car, a substantial %age of both my heels had rubbed raw down to the flesh, necessitating my wearing sandals for the next 2 weeks!

Great escape from the heat in Death Valley.
davbytrace - Jan 17, 2003 10:53 amRoute Climbed: Mahogany Flats Date Climbed: July 1990
Well, here is my story, as the brother of Mtntrail2, on our fateful climb.
We tarted out that day in Los Angeles where you have to go 60 miles just to get away from the houses. And believe it or not, there were street signs out in the desert, ready for new urban sprawl. On the way through the Panamint Valley, we stopped in Trona, CA for gas. "What do ya'll do here for entertainment?", says I. "Watch the rocks grow", says the lady at the counter.
We went in to Death Valley via the "back way", passed a group of cyclists, and drove around (north) to Stovepipe Wells and walked out on the sand dunes (cue R2D2 and C3P0 from Starwars, here). It is interesting how the good air quality affects depth perception out there and makes long range objects appear closer.
We went to the visitors center on the east side of Telescope, north of Badwater. Interesting thing here was the living area for the indigenous people (rangers), kinda run down. But the visitors centor was nice.
Later inthe day, we went up the drive to the camping area for telescope peak. Quite a rise in elevation without a clue to the affects of altitude sickness. We had brought a substantial supply of scrap wood with us for a campfire, although I suggested to mtntrail2 that he go ask the local tree hugger group camped beside us if they thought it OK to cut down a 5000 year old bristlecone pine for firewood. Hell, I'm from Mississippi. We burn pine trees all the time!
After the Dinty Moore Stew out of a can and a coulpe of rounds of COOM-BAH-YAH from the tree huggers, it rained and snowed and sleeted. By the way, it is not supposed to storm in the middle of the desert.
We got in the front of mtntrail2's Toyota pickup which, believe it or not, IS NOT designed as sleeping quarters for 2 adults. The beforementioned altitude sickness set in for me and, well, what a waste of Dinty Moore stew. I still can see it plain as day - two guys, in the desert, on top of a mountain, in a storm, one holding the other by the hair of his head while the victim hurls into the night.
Do you know what the phrase "ignorance is bliss" means? It means that you walk next to sheer drops without a clue as to the fact that you are doing so. This is what we did going up the mahogany flats route. We had a map, water, snack food, camera, compass, and a lot of wind blown fog. We made it to the top in a sleet storm, took a couple of pictures and came on down. The tree huggers couldn't believe their eys when they saw us coming off the trail. On to better things.......

My first mountain! Man....did I have a lot to learn about climbing. Here is a pic of me and my brother David on the summit. Here is a trip report.
notinkansas - Nov 22, 2002 9:03 pmRoute Climbed: From Mahogany Flat Date Climbed: February 2002
Didn't quite get my 2 wheel drive pick-up all the way up the icy road to Mahogany Flat in February but came close. Once on the trail, with the enormous expanse of Death Valley to the east, it's easy to lose all ability to judge distance. Upon first catching sight of the summit, I thought I would be there in less than 2 hours. NOT! It was closer to 6 hours. All of the upper trail was snowbound so I just kick-steped up the ridge in firm snow drifts being careful to stay well to the windward side. To see the wind sculpted bristle cone pines against the deep blue sky was a great experience. After signing the summit register, the plunge step back down was excellent.
pilz8 - Sep 11, 2002 9:23 pmRoute Climbed: Mahogany flat Date Climbed: April 2001
A pretty easy 14 mile round trip hike to the peak and back. Still lots of soft snow and awesome views to make it a great trip!!
kevin - Jun 23, 2002 7:25 amRoute Climbed: Mahogany Flats Date Climbed: April 27, 2002
The weather was perfect today. It was 32 degrees at 6:00am and there had been snow flurries at the 9000 ft level the day before. We were in between storms. The summit was a bit cool with the wind blowing. The view was clear towards Death valley, but obscured to the west and the Sierra Nevada.
Derek Davis - Jun 21, 2002 8:42 amRoute Climbed: Mahogany Flat to Telescope Peak Date Climbed: April 27, 2002
The weather was beautiful as we left Mahogany Flat campground around 0830. As we neared the summit there was a little wind, but not bad. It was hazy (see my pics), but still awesome views. I humped my fat ass up there in 4 hours and down in 3. Guess I should drink less beer. NOT.
Guilty - Jun 15, 2002 11:26 amRoute Climbed: Badwater to Telescope & back. Date Climbed: January 7, 2001
I did this trip in the winter because of the cool weather in Death Valley. I walked out to where I thought would be the lowest point in the U.S., then I started my long trek up. I followed Hanaupah road until it ends, then cross-country up a few ridges to the base of Bennett Peak. Here, I picked up the regular trail to the summit.
I met some mid-west hikers camping by the summit where I borrowed some water for the descent.
This is an all day and night roundtrip, about 15-16 hours. Be prepared with lots of water! Correct me if I am wrong, I think this hike is the most elevation gain on a mountain in the lower 48's

Finally a chance to write up Peanut's Lilly Pulitzer inspired party! I absolutely loved the pink and green palette for this party, inspired by the Desert Tortoise party invitation that caught Peanut's eye one day while I was shopping our local Lilly store. You can see the desert tortoise design featured on these awesome oversized pinwheels that were a must-have for party decor. They also served as the perfect favor for the birthday girl and her best friend and cousin of the same age.
You know that no party is complete without a Happy Birthday banner or two!
Special edition Lilly Pulitzer animal crackers found at the local grocer along with Izze soda, pink lemonade and fruit punch and apple juice boxes (chosen for the color or the cartons, of course!) made for a fun and delicious display at the dessert table.
Here is a wider shot of the dessert area. This shot is taken before the actual desserts were added, which is sad because they looked delicious! Above the dessert area, I used wrapping paper in the dessert tortoise pattern to make a pennant banner. (note: after I measured and cut the wrapping paper into triangles, I reinforced them with cardstock to make them sturdy enough to hang properly without rolling.)
After running around like a crazy person getting ready for the party, I realized that I had forgotten to pick up the pink flowers that I had planned for these cute white vases (vases courtesy of a Martha Stewart flower surprise delivery from my "boss"). With no time left to run another errand, I went out to my garden and cut bunches of bright green autumn sedum just before they turned color for fall. Add some pink ribbon and I saved myself the cost of flowers. (sure, they weren't the pretty pink bouquets that I envisioned, but they worked in a pinch!)
Like the Happy Birthday banner, no party is complete without tissue poms and the birthday girl insisted on balloons!
After the enormous Paris print that we had for Petunia's party, I felt the need to have a party-themed wall hanging for Peanut's party as well. Although I have to admit, I wasn't willing to be as extravagant this time around. So for this wall hanging, I simply wrapped a lightweight piece of foam core with wrapping paper and decorated it with a printout honoring the party girl and a couple of tissue flowers that Petunia and I whipped up last minute. Then I glued a long length of ribbon to each end for hanging.
Unfortunately, I did not get many shots of the food all wrapped up pretty and labeled in pink and green (was I too busy serving or eating?), but luckily I did get a shot of these delicious cheese balls from Tastefully Simple. Chosen for their colors (green key lime dip and pink strawberry), I had never tried them before. They were amazing and were gobbled up in a flash!!! A definite must for all future parties no matter the color scheme (although I wonder if food coloring could help "adjust" the colors...).
And of course, the food and the decorations are lovely, but isn't this huge grin what these parties are all about?
Happy Birthday to my little Peanut. Thank you for choosing such a cute little theme so Mommy could have soooooo much fun putting it all together for you.
I'm pretty sure she thoroughly enjoyed it!


text: Green Tip #3: The National Aquarium encourages you to go "Beyond the Boardwalk" this summer. We believe that ocean health begins at home and are constantly encouraging our visitors to make smart choices when it comes to the environment. However, there are also simple things you can do while vacationing at a beach or lake this summer to be mindful of the environment and its local inhabitants – the animals! Here are five easy tips to enjoy and protect the beaches and waterways you visit: 1. Leave only footprints. Pursuing, touching, or collecting animals can be dangerous to the person and the animal involved. Appreciate the beauty of nature by only observing and taking photos. 2. Be mindful of fishing gear. Aquatic animals can swallow discarded hooks and can get dangerously entangled in fishing lines. 3. Obey the signs- stay off dunes. They protect land during storms and are habitats for a number of animals. 4. Go green and bug off. Use mint- or eucalyptus-based bug repellants to protect your skin and the Earth. 5. Have fun learning! Visit nature centers, museums, zoos, and aquariums to learn about the local environment. Be sure to check out our annual event, Beyond the Boardwalk, a series of events celebrating ocean life, and sharing ways to protect and restore our local waterways for thousands of animals that call them home. The festival on the pier this weekend will feature a variety of exciting and interactive programs, games, and stories on ways can be responsible and get involved! Visit aqua.org for details!

The Politics of Indigeneity: Challenging the State in Canada and Aotearoa New Zealand
University of Otago Press, 01.01.2005. - 350 страница
The period 1995 to 2004 was the UN's International Decade of World Indigenous Peoples. This reflected the increasing organization of indigenous peoples around a commonality of concerns, needs and ambitions. In both New Zealand and Canada, these politics challenge the colonial structures that social and political systems are built upon. Both countries have accomplished much in their management of indigenous issues. New Zealand has begun to right historical wrongs through treaty settlements and to implement bicultural strategies. Canada is experimenting with self-government for aboriginal peoples. Yet there are still many issues to be addressed, with recent statistics showing indigenous peoples in both these countries struggling to balance functioning in everyday life with preserving their cultures. By focusing on the present within the context of the past and future, The Politics of Indigeneity casts light on the constitutional politics in both countries that are redefining the relationship of indigenous peoples to the state. A unique and timely discussion.

Meet The Fastest Growing Company Ever
Christopher Steiner, 08.30.10, 12:00 AM ET
At least Mark Zuckerberg wrote a few lines of computer code at Harvard before he left to launch Facebook. Now Andrew Mason, a relaxed and lanky 29-year-old music major from Northwestern, has managed to build the fastest-growing company in Web history. Groupon represents what the dot-com boom was supposed to be all about: huge sales, easy profits and solid connection between bricks-and-mortar retailers and online consumers.
Groupon, a name that blends "group" and "coupon," presents an online audience with deep discounts on a product or service. Act now, says the pitch: You have only so many hours before this offer expires. That's a familiar come-on, but it's coupled with a novel element: You get the deal only if a certain number of fellow citizens buy the same thing on the same day. It's a cents-off coupon married to a Friday-after-Thanksgiving shopping frenzy.
What's in it for the vendor–which might be a museum, a yoga studio or an ice cream shop? Exposure. Since the resulting revenue is not only discounted but shared (typically, 50/50) with Groupon, the vendor may scarcely break even on the incremental sales. But it now has customers who might never have thought of patronizing the business. Groupon gets its offers in front of eyeballs by buying ad space through Google and Facebook and via the word of mouth of its 13 million subscribers.
Video: Growing Groupon
Unlike so many dot-com rockets, Groupon is a real business. Occupying 85,000 square feet inside a rehabbed eight-story former Montgomery Ward warehouse in Chicago's River North neighborhood, the company is on track to pass $500 million in revenue this year, according to a report Morgan Stanley put together to win some underwriting business. No technology stalwart–including Ebay, Amazon.com, Yahoo, AOL and Google–grew that big that fast. At just 17 months old this April Groupon boasted a $1.35 billion valuation when it raised $135 million, the biggest chunk of it from Digital Sky Technologies, the curious Moscow investment fund behind Facebook and Zynga. (Mason will not disclose his stake, which he says is less than 50%.) The only company to reach a $1 billion valuation faster was YouTube (now part of Google), founded in 2005 and still waiting to turn its first profit. Groupon broke into the black just seven months after inception.
Mason's model is transforming the way companies–especially smaller ones with limited marketing budgets–snag sales. In May Groupon sold 6,561 tickets to a King Tut exhibit in New York's Times Square for $18 apiece, little more than half the list price. The campaign brought in $120,000 at virtually no marginal cost to the exhibit; Groupon pocketed about 50% for a day's effort. The most popular item so far: a $25 ticket for a Chicago architectural boat tour sold for $12. In May Groupon moved 19,822 tickets in eight hours and split the $238,000 with the tour operator.
Groupon has charged into 88 U.S. cities and 22 countries, including Turkey and Chile. Hundreds of rivals, some with deep pockets, are springing up. With turf wars brewing from New York to Brazil, Mason has armed himself with 250 salespeople and 70 writers, many plucked from the Chicago improv scene, to concoct witty pitches for deals. "We want to do for local e-commerce what Amazon did for normal consumer goods," he boasts.
Mason's no Silicon Valley geek. He grew up in suburban Pittsburgh, where his father hawked diamonds and his mom worked as a photographer. Music, not computers, was his passion, starting with piano lessons at age 6. At Northwestern Mason helmed a rock band that he describes as equal parts punk, the Beatles and Cat Stevens. "I thought I was going to be a rock musician until I was 25 or so," he says. "But it wasn't about being a rock star; it was about being part of a counterculture."
Mason's entrepreneurial instincts were already stirring. At age 15 he delivered fresh bagels purchased from a bakery to his neighbors' front porches on Saturday mornings. (Candy bars, bought at Costco, proved a better seller.) After college Mason, a self-taught computer programmer, landed a coding gig at InnerWorkings, a Chicago firm that farms out companies' printing jobs to the lowest bidder. There he hatched an idea for a website that would examine thorny topics, such as the Iraq war and health care, by unveiling the hidden agendas of the authors behind popular articles. Mason found support in 2006 at the University of Chicago, which granted him a scholarship toward a master's degree in public policy. A few months later Eric Lefkofsky, InnerWorkings' founder, caught whiff of Mason's plans and offered him $1 million of angel capital to crank up the hidden-agenda site.
The idea soon morphed into ThePoint.com, an online platform for petitioners to muster support for all sorts of causes. ThePoint launched in November 2007 and drew national press attention for its users' zany campaigns. One amassed 1,000 people committed to donating millions of dollars toward solving Africa's aids epidemic–on the condition that u2 front man Bono would retire from public life. Another corralled several thousand supporters of building a dome over Chicago to keep the city warm all year. The publicity helped lure $4.8 million in venture capital from the likes of Sand Hill Road's NEA. "I figured it was just a matter of time before I had my $400 million company and got my big payout," quips Mason.
Groupon's Greatest Hits
But ThePoint didn't attract enough eyeballs to live on advertising revenue. One of Mason's lieutenants, Aaron With, proposed paying for popular Google search terms related to societal issues–such as "make weed legal." Mason got traffic, just the wrong kind. Obnoxious fans of the band Insane Clown Posse, known as Juggalos, made ThePoint their online playground. As losses mounted in 2008, Mason trudged to With's house to lay off his friend. "If I was a rational person, I probably would have quit right there," says Mason.
One promising trend: Some of ThePoint's most effective campaigns banded consumers together to gain buying power. Mason began featuring a blog that offered readers a different deal from various vendors every day. Having little to lose, his investors encouraged him to pursue the strategy. Groupon–then called Getyourgroupon.com–was born.
Mason's crew of seven people each made 100 calls a day hunting for campaigns. Some days the deals would "tip"–meaning they'd meet the minimum number of takers demanded by the vendor–and some days they wouldn't, meaning Groupon got zilch. (Today 98% of the deals tip.) Using a 5,000-name mailing list, Groupon sold 100 $25 passes to an experience involving one hour inside a pitch-dark, soundproof tank containing skin-temperature salt water. At that point Mason knew he was on to something: "Who would think this many people would be interested in a sensory deprivation chamber?" In the next six months Groupon opened in Boston, New York and Washington, D.C., giving each city a Web page featuring its deal of the day. More than half of visitors drop in on the page because they've heard about it from friends.
Groupon's salespeople, most working in Chicago, earn salary plus commission, based on revenue and the ratio of refunds (usually negligible). Writers earn entry-level salaries commensurate with salaries of journalists, around $35,000 a year. Aaron With, now Groupon's editor in chief, oversees enough copy to fill a 190-page novel every day.
Landing a Groupon deal, even at a loss, can put a small business on the map. In March East Coast Aero Club, a flight school in Bedford, Mass., offered introductory helicopter flying lessons, normally priced at $225, for $69. The deal had to be shut down at 11 a.m. after subscribers signed up for 2,500 lessons; the club had expected perhaps 200. "I knew we had a problem when I checked in right after receiving the e-mail and 30 lessons had already been sold," recalls Philip Greenspun, the head helicopter instructor. "We look at this as incredibly effective advertising."
So effective that Mason claims Groupon now has 35,000 companies clamoring to be on its roster. Only one in eight applicants makes the cut. The winners must already be getting kudos at online review sites like Yelp, CitySearch and TripAdvisor, and the deals must offer a substantial discount from normal prices and not be similar to other promotions regularly offered by the vendor.
One problem with the Groupon model: Anyone can replicate it. More than 200 copycat sites have sprung up in the U.S., with another 500 overseas, including 100 in China. The competition isn't bashful. Many sites closely mimic Groupon's copy and graphics. One Russian site, called BigLion, ripped off Groupon right down to the fonts and colors. (While he probably has grounds for a suit, Mason says going after a startup in Russia isn't worth the effort.) In China a copycat has begun operating at www.groupon.cn, using the same graphical interface. "Groupon is looking at this as a winner-take-all situation, but they may find it tough to sustain their position in every market," says Andrew Razeghi, a marketing professor at Northwestern's Kellogg School of Management.
LivingSocial, Groupon's closest rival in the U.S., raised $40 million since launching its service in July 2009. Chief Executive Timothy O'Shaughnessy thinks his Washington, D.C. outfit has a long-term edge because it puts a full-time salesperson in each of the 50 cities it's in. Groupon has people in about half its markets. "You're dealing with a lot of small merchants whose business is their life," says O'Shaughnessy, "For them being able to work with a real person is a big deal."
Big players lurk, too, including Twitter, now with over 80 million users and 70 million tweets a day. In June Amazon.com bought Woot, a site that offers one piece of discounted merchandise a day. "This space is bound to attract somebody big; there's just too much money involved," says Lefkofsky, Groupon's largest shareholder. "We think we have a big lead."
Groupon's Greatest Hits
Being the first mover has its advantages. "Groupon" is now part of the lexicon of online shopping. But Mason is protecting his flanks. To take on more small business clients, he just announced plans to feature more than one deal per day in most markets. An algorithm will mete out the offers by weighing customers' past purchases and geographic locations. A hockey fanatic from Chicago's far North Side wouldn't receive a deal for half-price yoga lessons in the city's South Side Hyde Park neighborhood.
Mason's other strategy: consolidation. In May he bought Berlin's Citydeal, a group-buying site with 600 employees serving 80 European cities (the price wasn't disclosed). Mason says he may strike again overseas but that "it's tough coming in from outside and figuring out local consumer habits."
Mason has the capital to expand–profitably. He estimates that a metro area like Chicago should yield 20 deals a day; that implies nearly 5,000 retailers per city per year, up from the 250 in most cities now. Groupon now posts 100 deals per day in the U.S. Mason figures he can increase that number by 50 every month to reach 400 come January. Against that quadrupling of deals he plans to boost his sales staff by 80% (200 people) and his writing bullpen by 100% (70 people).
As for spending himself to perdition, as did many dot-commers before him, Mason's not sweating it: "There's never been anything–radio, TV, newspaper, whatever–that could generate small business sales so quickly."
The Great Race
Groupon is on pace to pull in $1 billion in sales faster than any company in history. This list excludes investment holding companies (which tend to be preassembled before formally launching) and those built mainly through mergers or acquisitions. –Scott DeCarlo

The federal government provides a wide array of special exemptions, credits and deductions that amount to more than a $1.1 trillion a year windfall benefiting most Americans.They are designed to reward or encourage certain behaviour, such as buying a home, saving for retirement, encouraging employers to provide health insurance, and other goals.
Most of them have large built-in constituencies that make them politically difficult to change or eliminate.
Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney says he would target some of these so-called tax expenditures for elimination to help offset the cost of his proposed across-the-board tax rate cuts. But neither Romney nor other Republican leaders have specified which of these tax breaks they would be willing to eliminate to advance their plans for major tax reform.
Here is a list of the 10 most popular and expensive tax expenditures, along with the Office of Management and Budget estimates of their cost to the Treasury in lost revenues for fiscal 2012:

Q: VC++ General: How to avoid making an assignment when the intention is a comparison?
A: Lets say you want to check whether an integer is equal to another integer. Then since you are in a hurry you write this code:
This compiles just fine and you assume that this is working the way it should. Then while debugging your program you suddenly realize that the else part of the if-statement is never executed! Or at least you can hope you will discover it!Code:// x is an integer declared and initialized somewhere else if (x = 1) { //Do Something } else { //Do something else }
In the above code the else statement will never execute! The reason is that you are reassigning the value 1 to x. In other words, your code could have been written like this:and obviously this will never be 0!Code:if (1)
Q: How can I avoid these possible disastrous errors?
A: There are two possible solutions to this question:
- The easiest approach is to make it a habbit to put the constant part of the expression on the left-hand-side:
This code will not compile! If you had written this in the first place you had discovered the error during compilation! The reason this will not compile is that you can not reassing a constant value!Code:// x is an integer declared and initialized somewhere else if (1 = x) { //Do Something } else { //Do something else }
- You can set the compiler warning level to 4 (VS 2005 defaults to level 3). By doing this the above code would generate the following warning;
Now you are at least warned that there could be an error in your code, but nevertheless the code is perfectly legal. And if it is not enough to be warned you can of course treat warnings as errors!warning C4706: assignment within conditional expression
To avoid the C4706 warning when you intend to make your test value the result of an assignment, test to ensure that the assignment is non-zero or not null. For example, the following code will not generate this warning:
In Visual Studio 2005 you set the warning level by doing;Code:if ( ( a = b ) != 0 ) { ... }
Project->Properties->Configuration properties->C/C++->General->Warning level.
