At that point in time I will have completed my BA in English and a CELTA certificate. I am wondering what kind of short-term or summer teaching positions would present themselves at that time of year? Are there are countries to focus my search on? Do some companies recruit for that time of year specifically (I was thinking of companies whose customers are mostly university students who will be finishing up at that time of year, or who assist students in K-12 who are studying for government English exams [like Kaplan in Canada/the US]). I'm sure that work will be harder to come by at that time of year than in September, and I will have some money saved up in case I can't get a great job, but I would like to at least make enough money to live off during May-July. Can anyone offer suggestions about how to focus my job search? PS- I will have Canadian and German passports.

JOHNS ISLAND, S.C. (March 24, 2014) – Carding scores of 76 and 73, senior Sian Evans (Gillingham, England) led the ETSU women's golf team during first and second round play Monday in the Briar's Creek Invitational at the Golf Club at Briar's Creek.
Evans' play and the solid contributions of her teammates helped the 44th-ranked Buccaneers to a tie for fifth place in the team competition. In fact, the Bucs are just seven strokes back of first place and 34th-ranked GRU Augusta, which holds a four-stroke edge over second place East Carolina.
Third and final round action at the Briar's Creek Invitational is set for Tuesday and fans can watch the scoring live via Golfstat.com.
"Today was a long, challenging day, but we had a complete team effort," said ETSU assistant coach Lauren Stratton, who is on the road with the team as head coach Stefanie Shelton is on maternity leave. "Everyone contributed today, and we have a good chance going into tomorrow."
Evans – who finished the first day at 5-over-par 149 – is just four strokes back of a trio of players who finished tied atop the individual leaderboard at 1-over-par 145 on the day. That group includes East Carolina's F. Gustafsson Spang, Maryland's Alexandria Papell and Clemson's Lauren Salazar.
Meanwhile, other Buccaneer results included a tie for 24th by senior Lourdes Lopez (Cadiz, Spain), while freshman Linda Dobele (Ogre, Latvia) tied for 36th.
Along with Golfstat.com's coverage, ETSU fans can get a full recap of the day's play via ETSUBucs.com following third round action. For more on ETSU women's golf throughout the 2013-14 season, visit ETSUBucs.com and click on the women's golf link.

Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint (3)
Leading comments
Automatically generated by Pod::Man 4.09 (Pod::Simple 3.35) Standard preamble: ========================================================================
Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint - The Moose Type Constraint metaclass
version 2.1807
This class represents a single type constraint. Moose's built-in type constraints, as well as constraints you define, are all stored in a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry object as objects of this class.
"Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint" is a subclass of Class::MOP::Object.
This creates a new type constraint based on the provided %options:
o name
The constraint name. If a name is not provided, it will be set to "__ANON__".
o parent
A "Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint" object which is the parent type for the type being created. This is optional.
o constraint
This is the subroutine reference that implements the actual constraint check. This defaults to a subroutine which always returns true.
o message
A subroutine reference which is used to generate an error message when the constraint fails. This is optional.
o coercion
A Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion object representing the coercions to the type. This is optional.
o inlined
A subroutine which returns a string suitable for inlining this type constraint. It will be called as a method on the type constraint object, and will receive a single additional parameter, a variable name to be tested (usually "$_" or "$_[0]".
This is optional.
o inline_environment
A hash reference of variables to close over. The keys are variables names, and the values are references to the variables.
Returns true if the supplied name or type object is the same as the current type.
Returns true if the supplied name or type object is a parent of the current type.
Returns true if the given type is the same as the current type, or is a parent of the current type. This is a shortcut for checking "equals" and "is_subtype_of".
This will attempt to coerce the value to the type. If the type does not have any defined coercions this will throw an error.
If no coercion can produce a value matching $constraint, the original value is returned.
This method behaves just like "coerce", but if the result is not valid according to $constraint, an error is thrown.
Returns true if the given value passes the constraint for the type.
This is similar to "check". However, if the type is valid then the method returns an explicit "undef". If the type is not valid, we call "$self->get_message($value)" internally to generate an error message.
Like "check" and "validate", this method checks whether $value is valid under the constraint. If it is, it will return true. If it is not, an exception will be thrown with the results of "$self->get_message($value)".
Returns the type's name, as provided to the constructor.
Returns the type's parent, as provided to the constructor, if any.
Returns true if the type has a parent type.
Returns all of the types parents as an list of type constraint objects.
Returns the type's constraint, as provided to the constructor.
This generates a method for the given value. If the type does not have an explicit message, we generate a default message.
Returns true if the type has a message.
Returns the type's message as a subroutine reference.
Returns the type's Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion object, if one exists.
Returns true if the type has a coercion.
Returns true if this type constraint can be inlined. A type constraint which subtypes an inlinable constraint and does not add an additional constraint "inherits" its parent type's inlining.
This returns a new type constraint of the same class using the provided %options. The "parent" option will be the current type.
This method exists so that subclasses of this class can override this behavior and change how child types are created.
See "BUGS" in Moose for details on reporting bugs.

Undergraduate Activities
How can I get involved and meet other students in my major?
Clarkson students are noted for the quality and breadth of their knowledge and their ability to work in teams. Getting involved in your major is central to the important concept of teamwork. Here's how studying Chemistry at Clarkson takes you beyond class work:
Research Experience — You will have direct access to our laboratories as early as your sophomore year. Because Clarkson offers graduate degrees in Chemistry and is ranked among the leading research institutions, you will have access to state-of-the-art facilities. You will share the department's intense research activities with our graduate students and gain extensive research experience. You may, like many Clarkson Chemistry majors, actually develop research interests that are published and shared with the international Chemistry community.
The American Chemical Society — Clarkson has been selected by the American Chemical Society to have a student chapter. You will have an opportunity to get together with your classmates in a variety of social and academic settings, to take numerous field trips, attend specially arranged seminars, and get involved in Chemistry as a profession.
Summer Research Opportunities — Chemistry majors at Clarkson have the opportunity to receive grants from Clarkson or the National Science Foundation to pursue work with a professor throughout the summer months. This opportunity broadens your exposure to the sciences and increases your opportunities for success in the future.

QNX 6.6 has been released. There are quite a lot of changes, but - sady - I doubt many of us work with QNX itself. It's quite popular in the embedded world, and, of course forms the foundation for BB10 - which has not exactly been a stellar success. Anywho, there's a pretty big change in 6.6:
The new Screen Graphics Subsystem replaces the Photon microGUI, including PhAB, Phindows, and QNX Neutrino Advanced Graphics. Usually referred to simply as "Screen", the Screen Graphics Subsystem allows off-screen rendering and can composite graphics from different rendering technologies, including HTML5, Elektrobit GUIDE, Crank Storyboard, Qt, and native (e.g., OpenGL ES) code.
Photon has been such a core part of QNX' identity for me that it's kind of weird to see it go.

American women in the Spanish Civil War
Elderly women recount nursing experiences
By Aileen Torres
Salaria Kea, a nurse with the second American Medical Unit in the Spanish Civil War.
Into the Fire: American Women in the Spanish Civil War is not a feminist film. There do happen to be women in it, who are the sole source of perspective on the intra-national conflict that was a prelude of sorts to World War II. But this documentary, released in 2002 by Exemplary Films and produced and directed by Julia Newman, focuses on a group of individuals who felt and acted upon a humanitarian impulse; they saw an atrocity happening abroad and refused to turn away in feigned ignorance. At home, their actions were either unacknowledged or disdained. But that did not matter; they had work to do, and they did it valiantly; and, effectively, too.
Now, a history lesson: On July 18, 1936, a fascist wing of the military, led by General Francisco Franco, attempted a coup against the newly elected democratic government of Spain. Hitler and Mussolini lent their forces to Franco, while 40,000 anti-fascists from 50 countries joined the International Brigade to aid Spains government. The brigade included approximately 2,700 American soldiers and 80 American women, mostly nurses and writers, fighting for La Causa, The Cause.
I had only to read in the German paper [about] the red swine dogs to know whose side I was on, remarked Martha Gellhorn, a journalist, who corresponded with Eleanor Roosevelt throughout the Spanish Civil War. Gellhorn, whose observations appear as narration in Into the Fire, was Ernest Hemingways third wife.
The nurses were interviewed extensively in Into the Fire, which won third place at the Seattle International Film Festival in 2002 beating out Martin Scorseses My Voyage to Italy. One nurse, Salaria Kea, was the only African-American nurse in the Second American Medical Unit.
I didnt know about fascism, she said. Heres the thing that brought everything to me: It was the way Germany was treating the Jews. What Hitler was doing with them, it was like the Ku Klux Klan.
Although politics was not a part of their daily life, the nurses nonetheless felt an urgency when it came to La Causa, a phenomenon that was, for the most part, unknown to the American public and ignored by politicians.
Strange, how easily our pockets affect our feeling for democracy, wrote Eleanor Roosevelt to Gellhorn.
Courage was a defining characteristic of the volunteer nurses; remarkable in the face of such deadly conflict.
Most of us thought that we might never return, said Esther Silverstein. When the writer Josephine Herbst told Max Perkins she wanted to go to Spain, he replied: Dont you know that Madrid is going to be bombed out? But she went, anyway.
The volunteers quickly demonstrated their mettle with such feats as working 40-hours nonstop to help doctors operate on soldiers, many of whom had been shot in the head and chest. One nurse recalled a night when the operating table light suddenly went out in the middle of a surgery, and the nurses scrambled to get flashlights so the doctor could finish removing a shattered kidney from a patient.
We just saw what had to be done and did it, said one. For example, Celia Greenspan, who was a lab technician at the time, became a nurse overnight. I had never done more than put a band-aid on a cut or took blood, she said. But she became an adept nurse, overseeing many patients at one of the hospitals in Spains countryside.
Back home, in the U.S., the plight of the Spaniards held little collective importance, if any at all. Eleanor Roosevelt remained well apprised of the situation from Gellhorn, whom she encouraged to write Spain out of your system. But Mrs. Roosevelts concern was generally not shared by government officials. The Spanish Earth, a Joris Ivens documentary about the war narrated by Ernest Hemingway, was shown one evening at the White House, but to no effect.
Meanwhile, nurse Silverstein returned home and spoke to a crowd at Madison Square Garden, urging Americans to send medical supplies to help the Spanish republicans.
Most importantly, she told the crowd, you must send to Spain solidarity, so that the Spanish people will know that you are for them.
Her pleas were unheeded. In September 1938, the republican government of Spain, lacking the necessary resources to maintain the fight against Francos forces, withdrew the International Brigade from the front in a good will gesture motivated by the hope that Franco would do the same.
It was a blurry, teary day for me, said the volunteer nurse Ruth Davidow. I felt guilty. I had left all these people at the front. I didnt know what was gonna happen to them, and I felt like a traitor.
She recalls a Spanish farmer who pronounced a prophetic warning to her: Wait, he had said. These people will get the real war because theyre not helping us now.
On April 1, 1939, the fascists seized control of Spains government. Five months later, on September 1, 1939, the Nazis invaded Poland and World War II began. Still, as Newman insists with her revelatory documentary, the efforts of the women who went to Spain should not be forgotten.

kid soup
the dutch tub. an ingenious tub that warms water through a coil system that's heated by a wood burner. sort of an eco friendly, jacuzzi that looks cool too. and it's light weight so it makes for great portability. still.....there's something a bit sinster, hansel and gretel-ish about this. but then it also makes me smile sentimentally about that time, beave and whitey.... (these people have grown so attached to their new tub that they wanted to give it the life only a little dutch tub could dream of. a canoe trip, with mom and dad pointing out the wildlife)

baring my sole(s)
the closet: the innards: oh...and here's the other side (picture cheesy sliding mirrored doors) this is the current state of my closet floor. and do you know what? sometimes i straighten it up and at others....i just leave it. because, really i don't care that much. i know, this is a bit like seeing someone you hardly know in their underpants. it's unnerving. in the next few weeks, i'm going to be giving you an inside look of closets belonging to bloggers and friends. because no matter how you spin your art directed life, there's always a loose cog in the wheel.
probably not my cupcakes
thank god for disgruntled cubical serfs and frustrated stay at home moms with a penchant for baking. without folks like these, we wouldn't have the burgeoning, gourmet cupcake business that provides us with flavors like, fennel and grand marnier over mocha lovers dream ( i just made that up) and my favorite part of it all is that it's brought a great slew of graphics and logos. this shirt from aussiecupcaker, sugardeaux, around $33.00 us dollars.

light emitting wallpaper
light emitting wallpaper by jonas samson makes a two dimensional flat wall surface as light source. when the wallpaper is turned 'off' it appears to be just wallpaper (not a distinguishable source of light)
"The wallpaper's patterns consist of embedded lights, and the transition effects are achieved through controlling individual pixels (LEDs). One can turn off the lighting, making the wallpaper a standard wall ornament, or have it turned on and enjoy the transition of multiple patterns"

walnut wallpaper
the day's not too shabby when you get to spend some time perusing the myriad wallpapers at walnut wallpaper.
i'm nuts for wallpaper and would swathe my walls in a new paper every month if i could.
while walnut carries classic lines like osborne & little, schumacher, cole & son it's the go to joint for all papers modern as well.
hipster lines neisha crosland and flavor are staples but they're also great at keeping it fresh by bringing in newer lines such as sum design, palace papers and my new favorite, jocelyn warner.......
oh, and don't stop at your walls, carry the party onto your windows or upholstered pieces. walnut carries a great selection of fabrics too.
as these unwitting shoppers will attest, when in l.a. make a point to stop in. the beauty of walnut is that for all of you who can't slide under the velvet rope of 'to the trade', walnut is 'to the public' score 1 for the civilians!
(ever the eavesdropper, this is what the woman on the left was saying when i snuck this shot: "you know, it's totally stupid to just assume, based on the way they dress? that someone doesn't have the money to do their home. i mean, it's L.A.....people spend a lot of money to look homeless" )

the ruffle (swag) bag
when i first saw these bags, while flipping through a magazine (i think it was blueprint actually. remember them?) i couldn't figure out if they were a great little summer dress, a petticoat, or what... exactly. and of course, blueprint had all of that crazy-ass font stuff going on, so i couldn't read the description without feeling car sick. no matter. i loved them. dog-eared the page. so feminine and witty. so many uses..... ....as a flouncy, summery beach bag. when funds are scarce, cut some leg holes and step in to it handles become straps, voila! bag lady dress. or, as i picture it, hanging on a a crystal doorknob, in a very girly dressing room. the perfect laundry bag. (and here's your bro deal: the beautiful interior shop 'rianrae' is offering this as a a freebie when you purchase $200.00 or more from her. the offer lasts through 5/21, so pick up something from her fabulous shop and get your swag bag...asap)

my oldest and dearest: featured on sfgirlbybay
if you haven't made the daily stop to sfgirlbybay, please do so right now. my oldest and dearest friend (who's more like family) analisa payne is featured as the 'unexpected guest' today. analisa and i have known each other for *gulp* 32 years. with each and every place she's lived, her design sense has always inspired. (i usually spend the first 10 minutes in her home, examining everything that she's done) she's a master at vignettes, color and clean simplicity with a charming twist. analisa's just purchased her first house and i think it may be her best work yet.....

patio culture
last winter, my friends, greg and jen, offered me a vintage, iron patio dining set. i enthusiastically accepted it with the promise that i would give it a fresh coat of paint, some lovely fabric for the chair cushions.....and we would spend many a warm evening around it with good food, friends and wine. and so today, i made a little trip to one of my favorite exterior design shops to pick up some fabric. patio culture. not that i really need a reason to visit karla stevens' beautiful shop on abbot kinney. walking in there gives me the total 'i'm on vacation vibe'. it truly is an oasis of loveliness. from the moment you step up, on to the wide, front steps, and in through the french doors, *breathe* you are instantly transported, immediately taken to...where? the bahamas? florida? italy? a little beach bungalow that has been given a wash of white and then loaded up with the most charming furniture (some vintage, some new) and top of the line, beautiful outdoor fabrics. the back of the shop houses the fabric library. sit at the apple green painted pic-nic table and peruse the vast array of prints. i dare you to try and make a final choice. it's torture. you know a space is working for you when you instantly become inspired (driving home i decided that i want to totally white out my own house. floors, walls...the whole thing. this probably won't happen any time soon. but it's that kind of a shop) scattered throughout the shop is art by area artists. like these beautiful tiles by venice artist, Steve Fleitzseen here coasters by one of my favorites, 'bueller designs' : gorgeous light fixtures by moth design: these lanterns are the best. i may need a few for my new dining table.as well as fun little things to complete your own little patio culture. *don't miss karla and her shop, in this month's coastal living magazine.

>Gears and Wears>Do all FR 210s do this...?
Princess Cancer Pants
I've been running into an issue with my newish Forerunner 210 that has me sorta irritated with the device. It seems that as soon as my computer goes into sleep mode that it disconnects the device -- both the mounted disk dealie AND charging through the USB clip/cable. This wouldn't maybe be a big deal were it not for the fact that not only does it stop charging, but it appears to actually discharge the device. Nothing kills the battery life on a LiIon battery faster than allowing it to run low or discharge frequently. Plus, getting all 5 pins on that dumbass charging clip to align perfectly is an epic feat in itself, most of the time.
I'm starting to have buyer's remorse and regret going with this more minimal device, vs. the 310XT that I'd been considering for about the same price.

I have a similar issue in that mine will turn on automatically at some point after I shut it down.
Otherwise, I am happy with it.
"If you have the fire, run..." -John Climacus
Yes I think mine stops charging when the computer goes to sleep, although I have not actually noticed it discharging. That does not seem right. But usually I plug it in to upload data, then leave it in while I am using the computer. The other option of course is the wall charger.
Do not get me started on that damn clip connector. I cannot tell you how many times I have bitched about that thing on these forums. What is most aggravating is that you can get it connected so it is charging, but the computer won't recognize the device, requiring disconnecting/reconnecting multiple times. Makes no sense whatsoever & drives me insane.
May not sound like it, but I would still actually recommend the 210, with those caveats. Has just the right level of functionality for me, without getting too complicated. And looks normal enough to wear as a regular watch although I seldom do.
an amazing likeness
All the USB-connected Forerunner models I've seen do the same. When the computer goes to sleep, it turns off the USB port (naturally, it went to sleep...why power external devices...) and to the Forerunner, that is no different than being unplugged.
I can't explain the "discharge" effect....the FR210 should just go into its low-power watch mode.
I've done my best to live the right way. I get up every morning and go to work each day. (for now)
That's kind of how USB ports work. When your computer goes to sleep it shuts off the USB ports. Don't let your computer go to sleep while your Garmin is plugged into it, or charge your Garmin by plugging it into a wall outlet using a usb to ac adapter.
I don't seem to have the issue with the charging clip that other people have but hey.
Runners run.
Why not just get an AC charger? It will charge much more quickly anyway.
If you are charging on a laptop, the usb ports usually turn off when it goes to sleep (to conserve power) this'll happen with anything (phones, ipods etc.) Also, I'm not sure on the details, but I'm pretty sure that if the usb port is turned off, the 5V line on the usb used for charging gets grounded, that might be causing the discharge, however I'm fairly certain that's a result of design decisions on how usb ports work, so they can protect the rest of the computer hardware. Switching to a 310XT will more than likely not solve this issue, but using the wall charger would.
Getting the pins to line up isn't really too difficult, so long as you're aware that the pins need to be aligned. Its easy enough to jiggle around until it snaps in place, (and it does snap and stay there when the pins are lined up solidly).
Know thyself.
Also, if you have a desktop, the usb ports don't turn off like this, even when you shut down...
I have a desktop. I never had these issues with the 305 or my Edge 500, which is what is frustrating with the 210 -- it behaves differently than other Garmin devices I've owned.
Like DaveP, I otherwise really like the device...it's not a brick with a bunch of features I never use, which is what is most appealing.
I had to unplug it last night and charge it via outlet, because it was down to 1/4 little bars. But it's a PITA when I want to then upload the next day. It doesn't seem like I should have to do a 2 step procedure every time I want to upload + charge. I've never had to dick-around with other Garmins this way.
That clip dealie is the worst. idea. ever. Engineering fail.
Do not get me started on that damn clip connector.
That clip dealie is the worst. idea. ever. Engineering fail.
i find it helps if you flip the 210 and point the four contacts in the direction of the nearest light source (whether that be laptop/tablet/monitor or old skool window) and then align the top two pins on the USB dongle (there's still a minor bit of wiggling involved to get the other pins on board before the click); seems much easier to dock that way.
My leg won't stop mooing.
i think i've got a calf injury.

And then hold your breath and say a prayer to your deity of choice, spin 3x while patting your head and rubbing your belly, then hop twice on your left foot.
For cryin' out loud....how do you expect it to stay connected when you're dancing an crazy Irish jig...that wasn't in the engineering specs...
"Connection to clip. Section 12A.1.1 -- the design of the charging cradle/clip device must anticipate that the person clipping the 210 is dancing around like a mad hatter on fire after an early start on the liquor cabinet. The clip must not require the clip-ee to set the damn thing down on the counter and connect it."
And then hold your breath and say a prayer to your deity of choice, spin 3x while patting your head and rubbing your belly, then hop twice on your left foot.
What other Garmins use the same / similar clip as the 210? I have had the 210 since Christmas, 2011 and the battery is beginng to falter - most likely due to bad connections on the clip leading to many overnight discharges. I've said it before and I will say it again, the 210 is for me the best in every way except for the clip - and that clip alone makes me wish I got some other model.
I wonder if it's a bad connection thing that is really the root of the problem, too. ITA agree with your assessment of the device. Aside from the clip it's damned near perfect for my running needs.

Longtime Thibodaux politician Harvey Peltier Jr. is remembered as much for the effect he had on young public servants as for the dozens of buildings and bridges he helped bring into existence during his 16 years of public service.
Longtime Thibodaux politician Harvey Peltier Jr. is remembered as much for the effect he had on young public servants as for the dozens of buildings and bridges he helped bring into existence during his 16 years of public service.
Peltier will be posthumously inducted Feb. 1 into the Louisiana Political Hall of Fame in Winnfield.
"I know Harvey would be pleased with this honor," said his widow, "Mickey" Peltier. "I certainly am. Our family is grateful."
Peltier was born in 1923. He was a native of Thibodaux and was educated at parochial schools in Louisiana in Mississippi. He earned a bachelor's degree after serving in the Navy. He dabbled in the seafood industry before opening Peltier Insurance in 1945.
His political career began in 1964 when he was elected state senator. During his three terms, he chaired the Senate Transportation and Education committees.
"He had a special appreciation for the roads and bridges and also Nicholls (State University)," said his son, Drew.
During his tenure, Peltier sought financing for the Hale Boggs Bridge at Luling, the Grizzaffi Bridge in Morgan City, the Schriever Overpass and the Larose La. 308 highrise.
Those who knew him said education was his passion in bolstering Nicholls State University and providing opportunities for young people who valued public service.
Peltier served about six years on the state Board of Education, which eventually became the Louisiana Board of Trustees for State Colleges and Universities.
The period of Peltier's tenure saw enrollment at Nicholls expand threefold. Under his watch, 34 buildings were added to the university's Thibodaux campus.
"When it came to using the political skills he had as a senator and on the Board of Education, I don't think there is anyone that can exceed the impact he had to make Nicholls what it is now," said Dan Borne, a Thibodaux native, president of the Louisiana Chemical Association and the voice of Tiger Stadium. "He recognized early in his career that this was a tremendous asset to our area and that generations would benefit from it."
As a student, Borne worked in Peltier's legislative office and said his contribution to Nicholls was more than bricks and mortar.
He also took young public servants under his wing, allowing them to work in his legislative office. They'd help with constituent services, track legislation and get an overall feel for the political process, said Louisiana Supreme Court Justice John Weimer, who worked in Peltier's legislative office while attending Nicholls.
"He was an extraordinary influence on me as a young man," Borne said. "I don't think you could name all the people he helped through the years."
His son Drew also noted Peltier donated his Senate salary for scholarships at the school and a farm for agricultural studies in Chackbay.
"He was unique. He had a heart of gold. He believed in helping people. There were so many lives he touched. He was an unbelievable influence on my life," said Hunt Downer, Houma attorney and former state legislator.
Downer said Peltier helped get him into law school and pay for his tuition. He also helped to provide him a place to stay and considered him "extended family."
As witnesses to his legislative style, the men described Peltier as quiet, calculated and content with leading from within.
"He wasn' a boisterous politician who wowed with fiery speeches. His influence was in that he would very quietly come to speak to you about an issue and convinced you that there was a right way to do it," Borne said.
Weimer recalled many occasions where Peltier asked him to give speeches for him, saying it was part of his quiet style, and also provided a "magnificent" opportunity for him.
"He taught me a very valuable lesson. I'd sit next to him during the session. He'd tell me, 'Don't make it personal. Just remember everyone here was sent here to do a job. Tell them you disagree, but be courteous about it. Always be professional ...' That is how I remember him," Downer said.
During the final day of his last session, Peltier was honored as the president pro tempore.
His son recalls his father telling him that day: "You'll notice I'm not going to make a bunch of speeches. I'm a listener. If I go to that podium, it shows it's important."
Also being inducted into the Hall of Fame are former state Rep. Dick Guidry and Edward "Bubby" Lyons — the former Terrebonne Parish president, Houma mayor and police jury president.
Hall of Fame induction activities begin at 4 p.m. with a reception at the Louisiana Political Museum. A banquet will be held at 6 p.m. at the Winnfield Civic Center.
Tickets can be purchased for $50 by calling 318-628-5928 prior to Jan. 24. All tickets must be bought in advance.

Throwback Styles - too late but why not.
Link here to throwback styles apropos given the current uproar over the upcoming throwbacks:
It would've been awesome if we could've thrown back to those caps from 1879 somehow. Aside from tossing some numbers on the helmets and block Ms in a few spots, the easiest throwback changes would have been:
1. Actually revert back to the color Maize. Check out the UM football wiki page. Wiki. See to the middle right the UM uniform, and then under it, the colors Maize and Blue. Notice how our uniforms are not "Maize" but more of a highlighter yellow.
This is Maize:
This is now:
Going back to Maize is a simple throwback move.
2. The wings on the helmet forehead gradually went from Five Head down to a Three head now.
This is a Five Head helmet (notice the expansive rise of the Maize, almost to the top of the helmet):
Think receding hairline.
This is now:
A lot thinner, sleeker rise up front. Short and neat.
These simple changes were probably rejected because they do not offer a sharp enough contrast to generate sales... Who knows. We haven't see the helmets yet, but I hope the wings are so high they make the rise of all our players' forehead look like those of every 40-50 yr old alum reading this blog.

6 Essential iTunes Cooking Apps
Cooking has always been a past time that's involved tools, whether it be cookbooks, scraps of paper holding generations old recipes, modern appliances. The apps found within the iTunes App Store have become one of the best aides within the kitchen. Here are six apps we think will improve anyone's menu -- from novice to Iron Chef.
- Locavore: Want to create a menu using local goods? This app will automatically detect which state you're in and lists what foods are in season in your area, where the closest farmer's markets are, and links to Epicurious recipes that use the local ingredients you're interested in.
- Michael Ruhlman's Ratio: We admit it. We're especially bad at recalculating ingredient amounts when tweaking a recipe. Luckily this calculator figures out how much more or less you need when customizing a recipe to serve as many as you need.
- Smart Chef Substitutions: Run out of an ingredient mid cooking? Don't run to the grocery store just yet. This app helps you find an alternative you have at home to substitute in. Or if you're bored of making the same recipe, this app will suggest ways to spice it up to make it new again.
- Fromage: Ever gone to your local cheese shop and felt a bit dim about the selection. Avoid buying cheeses you may not enjoy by referencing this iPhone app, which details the flavors and pairings of 650 different cheeses. You can even rate tastes you've tried, so you remember which ones were a hit and which were a miss.
- CookWell: A cooking class for $2.50?! Yup. This app teaches you everything from preparing the kitchen and planning ahead to what essentials you need in the kitchen. Also includes a 7-Day meal plan, daily assignments, and kitchen tips.
- Don't Eat That: Ever looked at the ingredients label on a package and wondered what one or more ingredients mean? What is Polysorbate 60 anyway? This app helps decipher what ingredient labels mean and, further, lets you know what ingredients to avoid like Polysorbate 60, one of the many frightening parts of a Twinkie.

Savages Thread
Debut album announced, and new song She Will audio released.
I'm loving this song and am now very excited for the album
i saw them at noon on a Sunday at last years EOTR
it was the PERFECT wake up call pretty much. Just completely blew my mind at the time. Cannae wait.
that track sounds like it could be from one of the first couple of U2 albums
which is not a bad thing
I'd quite like to see them live but they're not coming to Scandinavia... might have to make a trip to Cologne
Saw them for the first time at The Lexington the other evening
as part of that RIP Stool Pigeon night. Thought they were tremendous. The singer is utterly captivating. Excited to hear this.
Cant wait to album
I've seen them live twice, the first time on the tour they did with Palma Violets last year in Nottingham and then in Birmingham later on. Both times they left me pretty much breathless from their performance.
I've booked up this evening to go see them in Nottingham on the 7th May, the day after the album comes out. Had to book a hotel to stay over due to rubbish public transport links home but will be worth it
I've seen them twice now too.
Really enjoyed them both times.
The outro on the new tune
is immense...
Still listening to this song today
If the rest of the album is this good it'll dwarf anything else thats due out or been out this year.
I listened to it again this morning and I'm feeling slightly less optimistic
the song doesn't really have much to it other than the adrenalin rush attitude thing
but then again I suppose that's kind of their point
just hope the album isn't disappointing because I really want to like it
I just listened to it 3 times in a row
it's good
Don't see what all the fuss is about.
The post-punk revival happened nearely ten years ago. This is just Sinead O'Connor fronting a Joy Division tribute act.domgourlay, Ultimate_Damage, ma0sm, politelydeclined, Acquiescence, and incandenza_ this'd this
I'm not sure the post-punk revival ever went away mate.
It's a genre which will continue to fascinate.
Just look at last year's Twilight Sad album and recently, Girls Names.
I would say the obsession with all thing dark and gloomy isn't what it was but there's still an appetite by both musicians and listeners to explore post-punk.
It didn't all start with Interpol and die with White Lies.
I don't want post-punk to go anywhere
it's a far more interesting area of indie music than jangle pop or fuck me I'm twee Johnny Foreigner type stuff. Plus Brits seem to be quite good at it.
that's probably the most patriotic thing I've ever said about this country.
Yeah that all revival scene start it with Interpol
but the original one probably came from other Savage - Jon Savage and the age when the punks, having learned their craft, began to branch out, seemingly in every which way.
I adore the front cover by the way.
Apart from the very 'moody' pic we have:
The world used to be silent.
Now it has too many voices
And the noise
Is a constant distraction.
They multiply, intensify.
They will divert your attention
To what's convenient
And forget to tell you
About yourself.
We live in an age of many stimulations.
If you are focused
You are harder to reach.
If you are distracted
You are available.
You want flattery.
Always looking to where it's at.
You want to take part in everything
And everything to be a part of you.
Your head is spinning fast
At the end of your spine,
until you have no face at all.
And yet
If the world would shut up,
Even for a while,
We would start hearing
The distant rhythm of an angry young tune,
And recompose ourselves.
Having deconstructed everything,
We should be thinking about
Putting everything back together.
Silence yourself.
Well this is on my eagerly awaited albums of 2012 list which now currently looks like:
The Knife - 'Shaking The Habitual' - (Apil 7th)
Neon Neon - 'Praxis Makes Perfect' - (April, I think)
Savages - 'Silence Yourself' (ETA May 6th)
Selebrities - Second album sometime this year.
Oh and I forgot...
IDIB - 'After Dark II' (compilation)
Glass Candy - 'Body Work'
Farah - 'Into Eternity'
I wouldn't be surprised if these don't get released this year though. It's is Johnny Jewel after all.
Saw them live last November
Thought they were really good, so captivating and intense and the songs sounded huge.
very much like early U2 mixed with Siouxsie & The Banshees
Might be nothing new for some of us who are old enough to have seen the Banshees, PIL, Slits, Bunnymen and indeed Boy era U2, but it's an oeuvre that's ripe for mining in these times. Much as I'm looking forward to the album, it's the thrilling up-close live experience where they really shine, which I've managed to do on four occasions so far. They capture that sense of excitement more than anyone I've seen for some time. Personally I'm a bit weary of bands sounding like the Libertines nowlustforlife this'd this
Violater mentioned this in another thread
but I'll put it here anyway, another new song/video this time 'Shut Up', featuring a long spoken word intro
First thoughts are the song isn't as good as 'She Will' but I really enjoy all that spoken wordy slightly pretentious stuff that surrounds it.
lol this song is so bad. absurdly thick sixth form poetry leading into proper lazy 2006 free-CD-with-Artrock-core. absolutely incredible that people think they are one of the most exciting bands in the country.
It's alright.
I think it's a very good song - again (they haven't done a duffer yet). I had already heard it before on youtube a few times and liked it a lot but they've obviously polished it up and changed some of the guitar work.
It's growing on me with each listen now.
I rather like the 'manifesto' in its own way but I'll say one thing - you shouldn't have it on the front cover AND read at the start of the album. Either one of the other, otherwise you're trying to hard with it.
I can live with it though and Jehnny Beth sells it well.
boring fucking pastiche
verging on actual theft
Happy enough
that a band like Savages get the plaudits instead of the likes of Palma Violets and Peace...
I'm a little confused about how much praise this band gets but I really like them. The current track sounds so much like The Ruts mixed with Banshees - but as people said much better than than another band aping The libertines.
But that spoken word thing is absolute tosh. Bin it....
No Face rip from Mary Anne Hobbs' 6music slot
And apparently at some point today the album is going to be available to stream.
This is rather brilliant
- Teepee_uk this'd this
So yeah, the album is sounding nice and fierce on first listen. Superb.
Fuck me did they pick the wrong night for it though...whatisthewhat and rainmaker this'd this
On first listen...
Vocals sound like Bruce Dickinson.
Hmm not sure about this on first listen.
Was really looking forward to it but I feel a bit flat after. Some really good touches but didn't grab me. The Dead Nature interlude is very good though. I'll give it a few more listens and see if it's a grower.
Also, I swear they've re-recorded Husbands for the album, it doesn't sound as raw as the single.
This Pitchfork feature is tremendously good all round.
lead singer sounds like a bit of a dick
pretty pretentious
I dunno...
Where do you draw the line between thoughtful and pretentious? Whether you agree with her or not?
Unless you mean her hostility to the whole process
which probably would be a bit annoying, yeah.
i dunno, she just seems very earnest and sincere
not things which really work for me on the whole
I have a bit of a problem with these Pitchfork cover stories
It's not the fault of P4K or Laura Snapes articles or anything like that, it's just that the aesthetic couples with the technology being so new it makes me feel like I'm looking at a Mercedes Benz advert or something - definitely feels more like I'm being advertised at than reading an article
which is silly really 'cos I could read the same article with the same pictures (though they would presumably stay still) in a glossy magazine and probably thoroughly enjoy it
I don't know if this says something about a general separation between how we interact with print v web or whether it's just me but it makes my feel a bit uneasy and subsequently fairly convinced that I'm reading an advertorial
Yeah, I mean, I don't get that personally but it's obviously quite a new and striking format.
Personally I'd like to see all online features moving this way as magazines continue to die out. For example, when I used to pick up the Stool Pigeon I felt like I was diving into this strange little world that the designer Mickey Gibbons had created. Never had anything like that kind of experience online besides these Pitchfork cover features, which are pretty captivating - this one in particular was almost unsettling, really well done.
I suppose I'm probably a bit of a music journalism nerd so I'm not approaching it like a regular, give-us-the-facts kind of reader (although the reaction to the format seems pretty much universally positive from what I've seen...). So yeah, idk. Agree to disagree etc.
maybe it's because of the novelty & that this kind of slick treatment is only reserved for a select few
that makes me think it absolutely must be a buy-on
then again, if every online magazine article looked like this it would be a bit Hogwarts
maybe I'm just an old fart
"From the first rehearsal, it was very productive— we weren't just there to tell each other we're great," remembers Milton, who arrives for her one-on-one grilling carrying a copy of The Fountainhead.
really this band is awful and no one should be listening to themno-class, georgiabeth, drcoffeebean, badmanreturns, and furio this'd this
- JaguarPirate this'd this
The Fountainhead
haha oh no
Got it playing loud on me' speakers
nice, thick sounding bass and drums. Tis good thus far.
Anthony Fantano / The Needle Drop
has done a review of it, which I'm watching now, he's a guy I trust quite a lot on opinions, so worth a post here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16QuI9jkn7w
- Puds, Jordan_229_2, heartworms, ethricdouble, iquitelikeradiohead, badmanreturns, and furio this'd this
I can't watch him anymore
i used to quite like it at first but he's such a pompous arseface
this album is really good
Waiting for a Sign is a good song
BNM on Pitchfork (8.7)
and it's not even a Laura Snapes review.
good stuff
Laura Snapes was really nice to talk to when I met her, don't get the beeeef
Laura's lovely.
It's just a thing people say to be read as, 'Yeah, LME is well bad mate, privilege and that,' before going back to ironing their shirts while watching The Wire on a flatscreen TV.
i think its more to do with the sheer nepotism of the uk music/journo scene than it is anything else
and the fact that people don't REALLY review, they just use a load of shit metaphorsWakestock, badmanreturns, and furio this'd this
I'm sure your first point is true to some extent.
But not in Laura's case afaik (and in any case she's an excellent writer so it's irrelevant) which makes it a bit sad and weird when internet people beef with her.
i, like many others, can't see how her reviews are insightful
seem incredibly parodic at times. besides, she reviews music consigned within a very narrow palette, of which i have no interest in.
shes successful where others fail to be, and i think that rubs people up the wrong way - these people are not necessarily jealous, they just do not appreciate her schtick.incandenza_ this'd this
re: irrelevant
every review i've read of hers via this board of her's seems to be of a DiS band or one she's friends withbadmanreturns this'd this
They're alright, I guess. I've no idea why they aren't being derided in the same way editors were by the pitchfork et all press. Who is their pr?
it's probably because they are wimmins
and wimmins doing pissed off guitar music is more interesting than men doing itrobellovich this'd this
Ah c'mon man
Leave the trolling for the politics threads
I'm not trolling
women doing what they're doing is more interesting than men doing what they're doing because women have done what they're doing significantly less frequently than menJaguarPirate and alcxxk this'd this
derivative music is derivative.
and to let these off the hook for being watered down would be sexist and an insult to all the great women in music.
"more interesting"
I know it's different
I just wanted to shoehorn that point in somewhere. like, musically they're fucking dull shite.
i really like their guitar sounds
think it all just works really well
drummer used to be a pal in the olden days too so i cant be ver objective much
that's arguable
but since when did we limit the discussion of musical artists purely to their musical output?
also, someone expressing interest in hearing relatively underrepresented voices in a dialogue being told that their interest is just a form of prejudice against that very minority that they're interested in hearing.. is a bit :S
is that what I said?
because if you & incandenza think I'm implying lowered expectations because they are women then I'd suggest it's the two of you who are gender prejudiced
remind me again who it was who originally brought the subject of gender up..
i don't care about this band to discuss it further.
oh come off it
you're a smart enough person to see how that could easily be interpreted as lowered expectations.
and yet
neither you nor Jordan seem to be smart enough to be able to back up that claim and point me to where I said or implied it
I'm guessing it's because I never said or implied it
the idea that it's somehow more interesting for women to make music
that would be deemed uninteresting if made by men suggests a lowering of standards. (come on).
"One is used to artists leading a life that suits them and to citizens turning a blind eye to this. But when a woman does the same, they all open their eyes."
Probably because they actually have something to say (whether you're drawn in by it or not)
Whereas Editors were/are just a stadium rock band with a few glum faces. The Bass is miles better in Savages as well.
What do they have to say?
Perhaps their management have fed them 'the image' better than editors' management did, but I'm not sure why so many people are being taken in by it.
I find it slightly weird that so many people try to attribute Savages' success to managers, PR campaigns etc.
when there's really no evidence that they didn't, you know, figure it out for themselves. If you genuinely want to know what they have to say, I'll PM you an interview transcript.
Talking about integrity, didn't you start that thread about Jake Bugg last year?
I started one when he was 17 and unsigned two years ago
I don't think the persona jakes management have given him holds any weight though, if you are suggesting that.
I think the album is incredible.
Editors comparison is lame. This is the real deal - so much invention, and so much anger and frustration.
Seriously - best thing of this kind of heard in years.
They've picked up some absurdly positive reviews from
surprise surprise, The Quietus
and John Robb
I've had it for a couple days, and it's obviously pretty great, let down I think by Strife and No Face crossing the pretentious/silly line and spoiling the uber-seriousness a bit, but on the whole they do what they do really really well
Strife is brilliant!
it's all a bit daft.
Brilliant live.
you're kidding me right.
The Editors have come back as The Mission
- no-class this'd this
I was dubious, bordering on hostile
But I'm a 100% convert.
Listening to the album now on beautiful heavyweight clear vinyl.
It's brilliant, really bracing and uncompromising. Not especially original, but at least their influences are good ones and they attack them with commitment and gusto.
my vinyl should turn up tomorrow i hope
gonna blast dat ting all day, got the day off work
I've been listening to little else the last few days.
That's most unlike me - I tend to want to move on to the next thing quickly. It get's stronger with each listen.
I seriously rate it...
as one of the strongest debuts from a British band I can think of. Certainly in recent years. Exciting stuff.

text: USDA Foresees Decreasing Milk Production from High Feed-Price Pressure January 21, 2011 09:50 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By MILK Editors Email Year-over-year milk production increases slowly adjusting supply to demand, holding all-milk price near 2010 level Higher feed prices will pressure dairy producer margins in 2011, limiting any increase in milk production, USDA's Economic Research Service (ERS) said this week in its January Livestock, Dairy, and Poultry Outlook. Both imports and exports are projected below last year's totals, especially for fats. Exports of powder and whey continue to be strong, but higher global output will likely limit exports, ERS said. Cheese supplies appear adequate to meet expected demand, and butter prices should ease over the course of the year as stocks rebuild. Class IV prices will likely average above Class III prices and the all-milk price will remain near the 2010 price. The latest USDA forecasts indicate rising feed prices for the 2010/11 crop year. The corn price is forecast to average $4.90/bu. to $5.70/bu., and the soybean meal price is forecast to average $320/ton to $360/ton. These latest price forecasts represent an increase from last month's forecasts. Positive processor margins for ethanol and strong exports will contribute to the higher price. Supplies of corn are expected to be lower as yield per harvested acre is expected to be lower than in 2009/10, despite higher planted acreage. Supplies of soybeans and soybean meal are also forecast to be slightly lower than in 2009/10. Meanwhile, USDA's most recent milk production report indicated that estimated U.S. milk production rose 2.7% in November on a year-over-year basis. Cow numbers also continue to rise on a year-over-year basis. However, herd size was unchanged in November from October. This situation suggests producers may be responding to lackluster feed-price ratios that persisted in 2010 and are likely to worsen in 2011 due to higher expected feed prices, ERS said. USDA's Cattle Report, which will be released Jan. 28, will provide an early indication of producer intentions regarding dairy heifer retention. The current forecast calls for cow numbers to average 9.1 million head in 2011, the first annual increase since 2008. High cow slaughter and heifer prices that are about unchanged from last year suggest little incentive for herd expansion. The ERS report said availability of heifer replacements at modest prices could provide an opportunity to some producers for herd freshening, which could be a cost-reducing strategy with higher feed prices in the offing. Milk per cow is projected to rise 1.3% this year over last to 21,425 lb. Total milk production in 2011 is expected to reach 195.5 billion pounds, compared with 192.8 billion pounds for 2010. Milk equivalent exports for 2011 are forecast at 6.4 billion pounds on a fats basis and 30.7 billion pounds on a skim-solids basis. Although representing a retreat from 2010 exports, these forecasts have been raised from last month largely on improved skim-solids basis exports. U.S. dairy product prices are below international prices and a weak dollar relative to foreign currencies makes U.S. dairy products attractively priced. Global demand should be higher in 2011, especially in Asia and South America, because economic recovery in those regions has been stronger than in Europe and the United States. What remains to be seen is the scope of recovery in milk production in Oceania. U.S. imports of dairy products will trail last year's totals and have been adjusted downward. Imports for 2011 are forecast at 3.9 billion pounds on a fats basis and 4.7 billion pounds on a skim-solids basis. The same fundamentals that make U.S. exports attractive on the world markets weaken the U.S. import market. Butter stocks remain very tight, and consequently, butter prices are expected to remain high relative to recent years but to average below 2010 levels. Butter prices are expected to decline in the second half of 2011 as foreign production eases global tightness and more milk to move to Class IV uses due to adequate domestic supplies of cheese and strong export demand for nonfat dry milk (NDM). Butter prices are forecast to average $1.545/lb. to $1.655/lb. in 2011. Back to news

According to these anonymous sources, Opera indeed has developed an iPhone version of Opera Mini, but they haven't submitted it to Apple just yet, so it couldn't have been rejected in the first place. So, concerning this specific point, we have a New York Times blogger paraphrasing from an interview he conducted with Opera's CEO - and John Gruber's anonymous sources. I have little reason to doubt any of the two's good intentions, but only time will tell who's got it right on this one.
John Gruber dove a little deeper into the possible reasons why Opera Mini would be rejected, and apparently, he didn't know the difference between Opera Mobile and Opera Mini. Now that he does, he seems to think a possible rejection of Opera Mini might stem from its use of MicroEmulator, a pure Java implementation of J2ME in J2SE, when porting Opera Mini to Android. Android doesn't have a full J2SE implementation, so Opera had to write their own bridge to run Java ME bytecode on Android.
The iPhone doesn't have Java in any shape or form, so Gruber argues that "if what they've done for the iPhone is along the same lines - that they've gotten a Java ME runtime running on the iPhone - it's clearly outside the bounds of the iPhone SDK Agreement." Article 3.3.2 reads:
Assuming that Opera Mini was ported to the iPhone in the same way as it was ported to Android, it wouldn't pass Apple's iPhone rules. Opera Mini will need to use the native iPhone APIs in order to be accepted into the App Store.
And then Apple could reject it on some other ground.

I watched a television program about building construction. A high rise was being constructed. For each floor, they would mix the cement, test it, and then pour it.
For some reason, the tests were either not done or done incorrectly for two floors and the cement mix was not proper. Even though they had already gone on to the next level, they had to go back and jack hammer out the two tainted floors. Naturally, this took a lot of time, money, and manpower. It took much longer to remove the floors than it did to pour them. And there is a chance that the removal could damage the structure. It would have been much more efficient to perform the tests correctly.
Teaching Karate is a lot like this. We build up our students lesson upon lesson. The higher floors, so to speak, are supported by the lower ones. If the third and fourth floors are incorrect, the more you place on top of them the greater the likelihood that the whole structure could collapse.
So it is better to take your time when teaching. Don't rush. Undoing mistakes takes far more time and far more energy than teaching correctly in the first place. In fact, some students never seem to be able to be corrected.
Think about this for a moment. What student is most unlikely to be able to be corrected?
The answer is a student who has become a teacher. When you see teachers with obvious mistakes, it is likely that they are too "advanced" to ever change.
So we should try to get it right the first time. No matter how long it takes, it will take less time than correcting an error later.
Changing a tile on the roof is much easier than re-excavating the foundation!

Billing and Salvesen Win B Division
ANNAPOLIS, Md. – After its week of training down in Florida, the No. 1 Yale women's sailing team returned to competition this weekend. In difficult conditions on Annapolis' Severn River, the Bulldogs finished fifth out of 20 teams at the Navy Women's Interconference Regatta hosted by the US Naval Academy.
This regatta saw the biggest collegiate women's fleet in quite some time. Nonetheless, because the Naval Academy has a fleet of both FJs and 420s, the race committee was able to complete a full rotation of 20 races. A division started the regatta on Saturday in FJs while B division started in 420s. The divisions switched fleets after both had completed 10 races.
Saturday was a particularly challenging day of racing on the Severn River. According to the TechScore regatta report, the eight races earlier in the day were completed in a "northwesterly that got spottier and spottier as the day went on." Eventually the wind began to shift east and the race committee sent racers in for a break to wait for the conditions to stabilize. After the break, three more races in each division were held in five to 10 knots of breeze before the day had to be called off when the wind died entirely.
Despite challenging conditions, Yale's B division team, sailed by junior skipper Emily Billing and sophomore crew Amanda Salvesen, ended the day with the fewest points in the division. Billing reported that on Saturday "everybody was having tough races so it was all about staying focused on passing boats from whatever position you were in." Four top-three finishes helped to balance out a couple of double-digit finishes in Billing and Salvesen's score line. The fact that their inconsistent scores proved to be the best of the day just attests to the difficulty of the conditions.
Billing and Salvesen continued their strong performance on Sunday with two individual race victories helping them to seal their overall victory in B division.
Yale's A division boat, sailed by junior skipper Claire Dennis and senior crew Margot Benedict had a more difficult time with Saturday's puffy and shifty conditions. Dennis and Benedict stood 15th in their division after Saturday's 11 races. However, they were able to turn things around a little on Sunday and several top-three finishes helped them to move up four places in the final results.
Light wind was a major theme in Sunday's conditions as well, but the shifts got relatively less unpredictable.
The Bulldogs now have a four day break before they have to be back in Maryland. They plan to practice with the St. Mary's College of Maryland Seahawks on Friday in preparation for the St. Mary's Interconference Regatta over the weekend.

MooseX::POE - The Illicit Love Child of Moose and POE
version 0.215
package Counter; use MooseX::POE; has count => ( isa => 'Int', is => 'rw', lazy => 1, default => sub { 0 }, ); sub START { my ($self) = @_; $self->yield('increment'); } event increment => sub { my ($self) = @_; print "Count is now " . $self->count . "\n"; $self->count( $self->count + 1 ); $self->yield('increment') unless $self->count > 3; }; no MooseX::POE; Counter->new(); POE::Kernel->run();
or with MooseX::Declare:
class Counter { use MooseX::POE::SweetArgs qw(event); has count => ( isa => 'Int', is => 'rw', lazy => 1, default => sub { 0 }, ); sub START { my ($self) = @_; $self->yield('increment') } event increment => sub { my ($self) = @_; print "Count is now " . $self->count . "\n"; $self->count( $self->count + 1 ); $self->yield('increment') unless $self->count > 3; } } Counter->new(); POE::Kernel->run();
MooseX::POE is a Moose wrapper around a POE::Session.
Create an event handler named $name.
Get the internal POE Session ID, this is useful to hand to other POE aware functions.
A cheap alias for the same POE::Kernel function which will gurantee posting to the object's session.
Default POE-related methods are provided by MooseX::POE::Meta::Trait::Object which is applied to your base class (which is usually Moose::Object) when you use this module. See that module for the documentation for. Below is a list of methods on that class so you know what to look for:
MooseX::Declare support is still "experimental". Meaning that I don't use it, I don't have any code that uses it, and thus I can't adequately say that it won't cause monkeys to fly out of any orifices on your body beyond what the tests and the SYNOPSIS cover.
That said there are a few caveats that have turned up during testing.
1. The
method keyword doesn't seem to work as expected. This is an
integration issue that is being resolved but I want to wait for
MooseX::Declare to gain some more polish on their slurpy
2. MooseX::POE attempts to re-export Moose, which MooseX::Declare has already exported in a custom fashion. This means that you'll get a keyword clash between the features that MooseX::Declare handles for you and the features that Moose handles. To work around this you'll need to write:
use MooseX::POE qw(event); # or use MooseX::POE::SweetArgs qw(event); # or use MooseX::POE::Role qw(event);
to keep MooseX::POE from exporting the sugar that MooseX::Declare doesn't like. This is fixed in the Git version of MooseX::Declare but that version (as of this writing) is not on the CPAN.

The club has done a pretty good job giving us characters that originally came with playsets and vehicles, without the vehicle or playset. Some of those figures included Frostbite, Hardtop, Tollbooth, Keel Haul, Cross Country & Darklon; just to name a few.
What are your most desired vehicle drivers or figures that came with playsets that you would like to see in the modern era format?
