You mean like one of those mechanical failures that you're always talking about?Delete
No, the teenager likely put her finger on the trigger before she had the sights lined up with the target. But I don't believe in punishing people for their every error.Delete

You have no way of knowing that, but thanks for lying again.
How about punishing people for violating the 4 Basic Rules of Gun Safety? Are you opposed to that too? Do you think people who do this have never heard of the safety rules before? Or have most of them heard the safety rules all their lives, hundreds of times, yet they break them? Why would you not want to hold people accountable for that?Delete
There is a rule that says "look both ways before you cross the street". How would you punish someone who was staring at their phone when they walked out into the street and got hit by a car?Delete
Anonymous, do you know the meaning of the word, likely? I made an assessment of probabilities, not a claim of fact. I don't mind when people disagree with me, but when they're stupid about it, it's annoying.Delete
Mikeb, I don't wish to proliferate laws. That's what your side loves.

So I called you on it.
Next lie.
TS, are you comparing gun negligence with the way some people cross the street?Delete

Paul Gallico's first Mrs. 'Arris book, Mrs. 'Arris Goes To Paris (1958), is one of my all-time favorites. It is a gentle story of an English char-woman (cleaning lady in the U.S.) who becomes entranced by the beauty of her employers Dior couture dress. Although she has no use for, nor money to purchase such a dress, owning a Dior gown becomes her dream. To hard-working, sensible Mrs. 'Arris, a Dior gown is the embodiment of beauty, sophistication and artistry - things lacking from her mundane life. She doesn't dream of attending balls or mixing in society - merely of possessing an item of such elegance. The tale of Mrs. 'Arris's journey to purchase her Dior gown is warmth, charm and delight.
Unfortunately, Mrs. 'Arris's second outing - to New York (1960) - is a slapstick farce. Her outing to Paris must have emboldened the char-woman to believe any hair-brained scheme is not only possible, but advisable. Her totally clueless plan to kidnap a young boy to return him to his ex-GI father somewhere in America turns into an I Love Lucy episode. It was painful and I admit to skimming the last third. So disappointing! Mrs. 'Arris has two more adventures - to Parliament (1965) and to Moscow (1974) - but I believe I'll pass. I don't want anything else to taint my memory of Mrs. 'Arris.
I highly recommend the movie adaptation of Mrs. 'Arris Goes to Paris, starring Angela Lansbury. It is the rare movie that holds true to the original story. Delightful!
On a side note: While searching the library shelf for Mrs. 'Arris, I discovered that the same author wrote The Poseidon Adventure. Well, color me flabbergasted! Talk about a diverse author!
My attempt to read Mrs. 'Arris Goes to New York was part of the Library Book Readathon, hosted by Rachael at Rachael Turns Pages. My goal for the week was to complete two library books. I was unsuccessful. I finished (mostly) Mrs. 'Arris and started Ardor by Lily Prior, but progress was limited. Thanks, Rachael, for hosting.

It's been SUPER COLD in the northeast the last few days. Thank God we have the treadmill, or I wouldn't be doing anything! Gary and I have been trading off time on the treadmill. I am pleased to announce I am now 10.25 / 458 miles on the way to Rivendell. It's sort of frustrating being so slow, because I really want to get there faster! I would love to log like, 4 miles a day, but I would have to set aside like an hour and a half, and that's just not in the time budget. Outside, changing speeds when I feel like it, I can run a 15 minute mile, but it's way different on the treadmill. I've been logging more like 19- 20 minute miles, but I think it's my own fault – I have a tough time gauging what speeds I'm capable of so I just usually hit either 2.5 mph – 3 mph for the walking bits and 4 mph for running. Awesomely enough, 4 mph used to be hard for me when I'd run on the treadmill at work, but now I can push it up to 4.5 comfortably and even 5 miles when I did a ladder workout two weeks ago. I am trying to get used to changing it up based on how I feel.
I bought a new running app – Zombies, Run! I know, I'm a little late to the game, but I really struggle with spending money on ANYTHING for my phone. I found one majorly awesome thing about it and some slightly not-so-awesome things. First, the not-so-awesome – between the bits of dialogue, there is a lot of silence where they play music from your phone. It's not-so-awesome if you don't have music on your phone, because then you've got like three minutes of complete silence. I wish there was some generic rock music track – I don't think my old iPhone has enough space on it to put music! I believe I can plug in an iPod to the treadmill to play music, so that might be a good work-around. Also slightly inconvenient: if you're running on a treadmill, it doesn't keep track of your distance, even if you set it to count your paces or tell it what speed you're running. I can enter it manually on the website, but I have to be on a computer to do it – can't do it on my phone.
Now for the majorly awesome- while I'm listening to the dialogue, I'm not paying any attention to the time ticking slowly by on the treadmill display. I'm not waiting anxiously to see the tenths of a mile tick away slower and slower. I can just run. It's the first time I can just run and have fun on a treadmill!
I am not sure we are still doing the fitness challenge at work – we were supposed to start a biggest loser challenge. The person organizing it sort of neglected to tell me that the buy-in changed, and one of our co-workers recently experienced an awful tragedy, so I kind of want to put any money I can toward helping them. Although I can see that everyone is making changes, sort of like that one episode of The Office where each branch was competing against the others in a weight-loss challenge… people are eating healthier, working out more… it's unnatural.
I'm starting another six-week challenge on Nerd Fitness. My goals are: BE MORE CONSISTENT, STAY HYDRATED, WALK/RUN TO MORDOR, and FINISH WINTER PROJECTS. More on this to follow.

At the time of writing, the horn Dsl was quite basic and looked like this:
1 install horn:
3 description "A .NET build and dependency manager"
4 build_with msbuild, buildfile("src/horn.sln"), FrameworkVersion35
5 shared_library "."
7 dependencies:
8 @log4net >> @lib
My mission was simple, take the above prose and translate it line for line into Ruby code.
My first bite of the cherry was to define the install method written in boo below:
1 install horn:
2 description "A .NET build and dependency manager"
In the boo version of the Dsl the install method gets added to an anonymouse base class via some quite remarkable compiler trickery that you can read about here. One thing we do not have at our disposable in Ruby or more importantly ironruby is a compiler. I would have to rely on the language constructs of the internal Dsl in order to create a fluent human readable syntax.
One way of parsing the install construct would have been to simply define the install method in a seperate code file. In Ruby any method that you define outside of a class or a module is appended onto the object base class that all ruby objects inherit from. This felt dirty and unsatisfactory. I digged deeper into the semantics of Ruby.
A better way soon appeared. I would define the install method in a Ruby module and append this method onto the object base class using a concept known as mixins.
A mixin is Ruby's way of adding the benefits of multiple-inheritance while sticking to a strict object hierarchy. Mixing in is the practice of grouping a set of methods and variables together into a module and inserting those modules as needed into a class. The class incorporates the module into its own capabilities and remembers that the module has been mixed in. Unlike inheritance, mixing in is always a dynamic process. It is not bound to the class definition itself.
A module in Ruby is a unit of code organization that is similar to a namespace in C#. Modules help you organize your code into a hierarchial namespace so that you can group logical bits of coding together.
I have to admit that I copied this idea from the RSpec source but plagarism is the highest compliment. I created the following module structure that I would use to mix in my install method into the object base class.
1 module MetaBuilder
2 module Dsl
3 module Main
5 def install(name, &block)
6 yield self if block_given?
7 end
9 end
10 end
11 end
13 include MetaBuilder::Dsl::Main
I will explain the install method in more detail later. The important things to note are:
- There is an install method on line 5 that is contained in a nested module structure. This method is now available to mix in to other classes.
- The Ruby include statement on line 13 pulls all the module's regular methods into the class as instance methods.
With this in place I could start to create my first ironruby build script that would contain build instructions that horn can translate into build instructions for a particular component. Below is the start of an DSL instance script written in Ruby that will tell the horn runtime how to build horn itself.
1 require 'hornbuild'
3 install :horn do
4 description "A .NET build and dependency manager"
5 end
The require statement on line 1 is Ruby's reusable code mechanism that is used to load another code file and import all the class and method definitions and also more importantly any execution statements like the include statement that mixes in the include method. The hornbuild.rb file contains the module definition and install method outlined above.
Let us examine our meagre DSL thus far:
1 require 'hornbuild'
3 install :horn do
4 description "A .NET build and dependency manager"
5 end
Here we are calling the install method and passing in as arguments two important Ruby constructs that make Ruby a good candidate for an internal Dsl. The first argument is the :horn part which is what is known as a symbol in Ruby. A symbol is identified by the leading colon. With a symbol we've got a way to create a name that we can use in our Dsl and pass around, and it isn't a String. They are most commonly used in hashes which we will explain in a future post. For now think of it like a string constant that can help with readability in an internal Dsl.
The second argument we pass to the install method is what is known as a block in Ruby. A block in Ruby is a closure. The block that is passed to the install method is everything after the do keyword and everything before the end keyword. It is an anonymous code block that is analgous to anonymous delegates and lamdas in C#.
Now let us revisit the install method that will process the arguments that are passed to it:
9 def install(name, &block)
10 yield self if block_given?
11 end
The name parameter will accept the symbol and the second parameter will accept the block. Blocks are always passed at the end of a method call and are declared implicitly with an ampesand in front of it.
All that is left to do is explain the yield statement on line 10. The yield statement is analogous to the C# yield statement. Basically the yield statement is provided as a way to ease the creation of iterators. It gives control to a user-specified block from within a method's body. Here we are passing control back to the block which is everything after the do keyword and before the end keyword.
I had the beginnings of my ironruby Dsl now. I could progress with a greater confidence.

New In The Royal Treasury [19]

Oh my goodness Ash, you are SO fun to watch on camera!! Watching your v-log makes me desperately want to meet you, which MUST happen and soon!ReplyDelete
I've started reading more contemporary lately too, so you're not alone in that department. :D I never thought that I would actually start reading contemp, but I've started reading more lately. I think this is what book blogging has done to me!
Haha, I love how you buy an entire series after reading the first book. I only buy the sequel of a book after I've read it's predecessor- I have this secret fear that I'll hate the book before it, and then I'd have wasted money on the sequel. I harbor this fear, so I usually don't buy more than one book of a series at one time.
And CONGRATS for finishing NaNoWriMo!! I am *so* proud of you Ash! And I'm excited for this novel, especially because your class liked it. =) You have to pinky promise to let me edit it, 'kay? I'm actually really great at editing, and I've helped improved a lot of stories, so I'd love it if you would let me work on your story! I sincerely think I could make it better, and after all, you need a younger teen's perspective on it, since it's YA after all!
Fantastic haul, Ash! Enjoy those goodies, and celebrate that NaNo win! <3Replies
LOL. Thank you, Aneeqah! I feel the same way when I get an e-mail notification saying I got a new comment from you on here. We definitely do have to work out a way to meet up someday. :]Delete
YAY! You have to tell me what awesome ones you've been reading so that I can add them to my TBR and we can gush together. The gushing is half the fun! I blame book blogging too. I wasn't nearly as into contemporary before, I just pretty much devoured stacks of fantasy...and then I got blogging buddies who LOVE contemporary and kept pushing it on me...and now I have almost an entire bookcase of the stuff. xD
I used to do it that way but I've run into so many amazing series lately, series so good that I've wanted to devour them at once that I hate to leave anything to chance. So I buy them all up. I figure, worst case scenario and I don't enjoy the rest I'm bound to find a blogger that would want them so either surprise package or giveaways.
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I'm just...I have the biggest grin on my face right now. As for my class liking it, they just got to read the first chapter and listen to me gush about it but what they heard they seemed to like so I might just have something htis time around. As for editing, I might just take you up on that. I hate editing and I'm pretty much awful at it. I usually have to have a friend or family member glance over my academic papers for me...I'm that bad. LOL. This particular novel is going to take a lot of work though since I was totally pantsing it. I mean, I just had a concept and a vague character in mind when I started so there are huge patches that just need to go. And even yet I'm not finished. -.-
Thank you! <3
I love the Vampire Academy series! I just picked up the third book and started it I'm only few pages in but I'm already loving it! I hope you enjoy everything :)ReplyDelete

I am planning a move so my cooking goals have shifted from grocery trips where I buy mostly organic chicken and lots of vegetables to I need to use up everything in my cabinet without buying anything that I won't be able to finish before the move.
This isn't too tricky of a goal for me because I keep minimal condiments on hand and my fridge as a habit. Since I prefer fresh vegetables to frozen or canned I try to only buy what I will use before they go bad so I don't end up throwing away much food. In a nutshell, my fridge is almost always on the empty side.
While browsing the web for one of those websites where you can find recipes with what ingredients you have on hand I found Super Cook. I figured that since I only have healthy things in the house that I could get some new healthy recipe ideas from the website.
I created an account and punched in Chicken Breast and got 2000 results. The first one was grilled sausage which didn't impress me too much since I punched in chicken breast as the ingredient I already have. Then I added green peppers, and onions since I always have some of those on hand. With just those 3 ingredients in mind I still have the 2000 results, but I have 1 that I can actually make with just chicken, green peppers and onions. It is Easy Taco Filling, and something that I actually make often!
So this is fun so far. I am going to add Balsamic Vinegar. I don't have a lot of it left in the kitchen, but it gets super sticky so I don't want to have to pack and move it. That gives me a recipe for Red Pepper Coulis and also a Chicken Marinade. I have roasted vegetables in balsamic vinegar before, so this sauce made from red peppers and balsamic vinegar is intriguing. I bet it would be delicious on a steak! Add in some salt and olive oil and this recipe for Roasted Onions looks great as well.
This website is exactly what I need before a move, but after playing around with it for just a few minutes I can see it becoming a useful resource for the future as well. It is searching recipes all over the web so it has the advantage of giving you a wider variety of results then from just searching on your usual website. Cooking is a science that I have not yet mastered to the point where I can make many of my own creations, but with a recipe in hand I am ready to roll.

Six months after bringing in a new CEO from Amazon, UK-based department store chain Debenhams is working to make its physical stores "more digital" and placing a greater emphasis on leisure experiences befitting an era of "social shopping."
The retailer's new strategy, dubbed "Debenhams Redesigned," was announced in conjunction with the release of its interim results for the 26 weeks ended March 4, 2017.
For the period, ecommerce sales rose 14.6%, driven by a 64% increase in mobile commerce—growth rates significantly higher than the company's 0.6% increase in gross sales in the UK or its 2.9% gain in companywide sales, which include stores in Ireland and Denmark (as Magasin du Nord) and franchised locations in the Middle East.
Debenhams isn't alone among UK retailers seeing ecommerce—and mobile commerce in particular—playing a rising role in retail sales.
eMarketer expects retail mcommerce to represent 40.4% of UK retail ecommerce sales and 7.6% of total retail sales in the country this year—both new highs.
"Our customers are changing the way they shop and we are changing too," said CEO Sergio Bucher, who joined the company from Amazon in October 2016, in announcing the initiative. "Shopping with Debenhams should be effortless, reliable and fun whichever channel our customers use. We will be a destination for 'social shopping' with mobile the unifying platform for interacting with our customers.
"If we deliver differentiated and distinctive brands, services and experiences both online and in stores, our customers will visit us more frequently and, having simplified our operations to make us more efficient, we will be able to serve them better and make better use of our resources."
Pillars of the digital program include moves such as upgrading technology to help unify the business via mobile and encourage greater incremental business from customers who arrive to pick up online orders.

X GEAR Extreme clothing. Dare to be different.
People are living longer and population of aged 65 years and older is rapidly increasing. Despite this, statistics in the United States indicate that few older engage in physical activity on a regular basis. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services estimates that only thirty one percent of people aged 65 to 74 years participate in 20 minutes of moderate physical activity three or more times a week. An even smaller percentage, 16 percent, report engaging in 30 minutes of moderate activity five or more days a week. Moreover, adults aged 75 and older are even less physically active.
Physical activity has great value in preserving functional capacity and reducing disease and physical frailty in later years. This makes physical activity programs for older adults especially important. However, most experts agree that specialized training is needed from fitness professionals who study, develop and implement personalized physical activity programs for older adults.
According to this definition, physical activity encompasses exercise performed for the improvement of health and fitness, activities of daily living, sports, dance, work, and play. Physical activity influences all aspects of health and well-being in the older adult population and the aging process in general.
Exercising in the water provides many benefits that working out on land can not. First, bouancy of the water provides an unloading of the weight bearing joints of the spine, knee, and hips. This is helpful for those who can not tolerate exercing on land due to joint pain.
Water Exercise Increases Strength
Water also provides assistance and resistance while exercising so that one can progress through various levels of activity, while increasing strength. Water exercise can help one build strength in weak and injured muscles. It can also promote healing to the site of an injury when used as therapy. Overweight clients also enjoy aquatic exercises by burning calories in an environment that assists in cushioning their joints.
Benefits of Water Exercise
Benefits are you lose weight effectively, improve balance and agility, ease arthritis pain, and when working with a Therapist, help recovery from surgery. Other benefits; it alleviates the symptoms of fibromyalgia, strengthens muscles and joints, and increases flexibility and strength.
Check with your local health and fitness club or YMCA to see if they offer an aquatic program of have classes in your area.

Vitamin D produced in the sun's rays is a vital source of this necessary nutrient. However, oftentimes, especially in the winter months or in cooler climates, it is hard to make enough from the sun. So, many of us come up short in our daily supply. Research shows that vitamin D deficiency is more common than previously thought, affecting up to half of adults and children in the U.S.
Why Do We Need It?
We know that vitamin D is critical for building strong bones but what we may not know is how negative amounts affect us. Low vitamin D levels are associated with higher circulating levels of parathyroid hormone, which encourages weight gain. This explains why many overweight people routinely have inadequate vitamin D status.
Researchers say a growing body of evidence suggests that vitamin D deficiency increases the risk of heart disease. It is also linked to other well known heart disease risk factors, such as high blood pressure, obesity, and diabetes.
Eating a healthy meal plan and participating in an exercise plan will improve your overall health, increase your self-esteem and allow you to live a much healthier lifestyle. Exercising and getting the proper amount of rest in a balanced schedule will allow you to build healthy muscles and reduce or eliminate stress and anxiety.
Personal Trainers
A personal trainer can help you with your weight-loss goals. They will show you the right way to improve your overall health. A trainer will provide you with a flexible exercise schedule that will benefit you and your body. Your hard exercise work will pay off when you notice the difference in feeling better and looking good and others will notice too.
Style and looking good in the gym may be important to some, but wearing the right type to help prevent injuries is more important. Whether it's in the gym, on the courts, on the field, on the track or the trails, the right gear can minimize injuries and improve performance and endurance.
Overheating can be a real problem when working out, especially during the warmer months. You should wear moisture-wicking breathable clothing and cotton does not meet these requirements. When you sweat in a cotton shirt, it gets damp, heavy, and clingy. The moisture just stays there. Damp clothing can cause overheating or even heat injury or heat stroke.
Choose synthetics or blends for workout clothes. These materials will help with the thermo regulation during a workout and will be more comfortable. The choice of fabric impacts performance as well. Synthetic clothes improve heat tolerance while exercising. Breathable, moisture-wicking clothes can help you keep going longer than in cotton clothes. Researchers compared cotton to synthetics and found the following observations:
- Synthetics are more comfortable than cotton.
- Synthetics improved performance better than when wearing cotton clothing.
- Synthetic workout gear may smell worse, but so what? The benefits outweigh the odors. Newer brands of synthetic workout gear is embedded with materials that prevent bacteria from thriving in it, which reduces the odor.
Most workout clothes have polyester, spandex and some moisture-wicking proprietary blend. Buy real workout gear instead of relying on old cotton clothes you need to donate. Cotton socks should be avoided too. As with other parts of the body, your feet will sweat when working out. If socks are not breathable and don't wick away moisture, the sweat can cause friction, rubbing and blisters. This can be painful and also lead to training setbacks. Remember to choose your gear wisely and enjoy your workout.
Recommended Daily Dose
The current recommended daily intake of vitamin D is 200 IU but most health experts say it should be closer to 1000 IU, especially in the winter. When our body does get the daily recommended dose, it increases the thermal effect of our meals and boosts overall fat oxidation. It also improves muscle function and strength.
You can take fitness to the next level and burn more fat using high intensity interval training. The high intensity approach may not be right for those just starting a fitness program. However, if you exercise regularly and need to bump up your regime, this is an effective way to see results. It also does not require you to spend more time in the gym.
High intensity interval training involves short intervals of maximum intensity exercise separated by longer intervals of low to moderate intensity exercise. It offers you several advantages because it pushes you beyond the highest end of your aerobic capacity zone. If your aerobic zone is at 80% or more of your maximum he
Exercise positively effects all human body systems; including psychologically. Research in the area of psychology and physical activity supports a relationship between physical fitness, mental alertness and emotional stability.
An example of this relationship is that improved endurance makes the body less susceptible to fatigue and less likely to commit mental or physical errors. Performance can be sustained longer without the necessity of frequent breaks. People who are physically fit usually have a better outlook, more self-confidence and often do well in whatever their talents and ambitions prompt them to try.
Increases Blood Volume
Physiological benefits of exercise are that it increases blood volume, enlarges and increases the number of blood vessels, lowers resting heart rate, and helps keep linings clear of corrosive materials. Exercise also reduces peak levels of hyperacidity and its discomforts.
The nervous system is the control center of the body. The three roles of the nervous system are that it senses changes inside and outside the body. It interprets those changes and responds to the interpretations by initiating action in the form of muscular contractions or grandular secretions. Without the central control of the nervous system, coordinated human movement are impossible.
Exercise is Worth the Effort
Are the positive effects that result from exercising regularly worth the effort? Absolutely it is. Should you make exercise an integral part of your daily routine? Of course, you should. Fitness specialists and trainers have an inherent responsibility to positively shape and influence the health and fitness attitudes of those around us. It is our hope that individually and collectively we can bring health and fitness to the masses.

IMF pushes Asia to hike interest rates
With Asia set to remain an attractive destination for foreign investment given the sluggish recovery in the US and Europe, capital inflows could add further to domestic price pressures in the period ahead, the Washington-based lender said in its Regional Economic Outlook.
"We welcome the steps so far taken by policymakers to control inflation risks and limit the build-up of financial sector vulnerabilities, but more now needs to be done given the continued strong growth in the region," Anoop Singh, director of IMF's Asia and Pacific department, said.
The policy-making Monetary Board of the Philippines Central Bank has kept its overnight borrowing or reverse repurchase and overnight lending or repurchase rates at record lows of four percent and six percent since July 2009 on the back of a manageable inflation path.
The IMF pointed to the need for further tightening of monetary policy in many countries in Asia, including through greater exchange rate appreciation. A faster withdrawal of the fiscal stimulus put in place during the global financial crisis would also help guard against the risks of overheating, it said.
Should a worsening of global economic conditions negatively affect Asia, there is room to return to a more stimulative policy stance, the world's so-called lender-of-last-resort said.
"Managing capital inflows into the region is a difficult challenge. These inflows present many opportunities, but they also pose potential risks to financial stability. Macro-prudential measures have appropriately been taken in many regional economies to minimize risks, but more action may be needed," Singh said.
He said rebalancing Asia's growth remained the top policy priority over the medium term.
With external demand from advanced economies unlikely to return to pre-crisis levels in the foreseeable future, Asia will need stronger domestic demand to continue along a robust growth path, the IMF said.
A broad range of reforms are needed to support domestic consumption and investment, including strengthening social safety nets, ensuring access to credit, easing restrictions in service sectors, and improving infrastructure. Exchange rate appreciation is an important part of rebalancing, the lender said.
"It is only natural that as Asian economies grow stronger so too will their currencies. This is very much a sign of Asia's success," Singh said.

My Ecto is not working and so I can't post my 18 rabbits review and my delicious balsamic roasted veggies. Also, I have a new low fat flax-oat- blueberry muffin recipe. So in the meantime…here are a few things to avoid eating when you are pregnant!
Sushi or other Raw Meat: Raw meats can contain bacteria that is harmful to you and the baby
Deli Meat: Deli meats can contain harmful bacterias and harmful preservatives. If you chose to eat deli meats, heat them up to kill possible bacteria.
Certain types of Fish with Mercury: Some specific fish that contain more mercury than others are: shark, swordfish, king mackerel, and tilefish, and albacore tuna.
Raw Eggs: Try to avoid eating cookie dough with raw eggs or certain salad dressings. Raw eggs can contain salmonella which is harmful to you and the baby.
Soft Cheeses: Avoid these specifically: Brie, Camembert, Roquefort, Feta, Gorgonzola and Mexican style cheeses that include queso blanco and queso fresco, unless they clearly state that they are made from pasteurized milk. All soft non-imported cheeses made with pasteurized milk are ok to eat.
Alcohol: There is not set amount of alcohol that is shown to cause fetal alcohol syndrome so all alcohol should be avoided.
Caffeine: It is important to limit your caffeine intake to make sure your baby develops properly. Drinking less than 2 cups of coffee has been shown to be safe.
Hopefully my posts will be up by tomorrow!
🙂 Have a great day!

After the first meeting of a Weight Watchers membership the primary reason that members should meet is to exercise. Participants learn the details of how the Weight Watchers points system* works during that initial meeting.
(*The points system is the core component of the Weight Watchers program)
Though some distinct pointers, new recipes, etc. are introduced in subsequent meetings, everything after that initial meeting is essentially reiteration of information learned in that first meeting.
Some Weight Watchers facilities already have space provisions for exercise equipment. For example, a Weight Watchers facility in Memphis has a large open space in the front of the building, where products (which could be enclosed within shatter proof glass) are on display. Exercise equipment, i.e. treadmills, Tread climbers, recumbent bicycles, etc., could be placed in this particular area.
The traditional Weight Watchers meetings that occur in a room behind the receptionist's desk would continue in practice while other members could exercise in the front of the facility, as prescribed, and/or members could exercise after their respective meetings and receive coaching from Weight Watchers trainers/staff.
Regular Weight Watchers Walking & Outings Clubs
Weight Watchers should also have regular walking and outings clubs into which members could enroll and enjoy congregational extra-curricular activities, like hiking, bicycling, swimming, etc., not merely the annual 5-k walks and other brief ventures.
Though diet accounts for 70% of weight loss and maintenance of ideal weight, exercising significantly curbs the appetite. Some members do not have support systems beyond the quaint/once per week Weight Watchers meetings, and Weight Watchers should provide that support, which would see far greater program success rates…

Hi guys.
So, the time has finally come. My 6 year old can't cut it anymore, it's time to upgrade. I'm an avid gamer, and working on a budget of around 1000 pounds at most (1600 odd dollars). The pc I'm building doesn't need to be the best, I plan on using it to play things like Guild Wars 2, Planetside 2, Rome Total War 2, Mount and Blade, Dishonoured. I'm not concerned if I can't play these on the highest settings either.
However, it is difficult for other reasons. I need my machine to be very portable, I live a mobile lifestyle and enjoy lanning with my friends. I also understand that such a small machine will need better cooling, since a little case will get much hotter faster and I need to deal with that. Preferably my machine will also be reasonable on its power requirements and low on noise.
One more complication- however. I do not intend to build my own. I know this is a much cheaper option, but I have enough money, and frankly I'm willing to pay extra for the warrenty and the peace of mind, if you think this is silly/a waste of money, I respect your opinion but please dont use this thread to flood me with it.
With that in mind- Who is the best option for me? I liked the look of the Alienware X51, particularly for its size, but my friends all tell me alienware is hoplessly overpriced and that the x51's power supply is much to weak. I've scouted around Asus, Mesh and Wired2Fire- but I can't see anything around the right size for me. Anybody have any recommendations for me? Thanks for your time.

Restoration of historic SW Indiana theater gets local boost
VINCENNES, Ind. -- A southwestern Indiana county is pledging $30,000 toward restoration work on an ornate, nearly century-old theater where comic Red Skelton first appeared on stage.
The funding approved Tuesday by Knox County's commissioners follows the Vincennes' city council's decision to also allocate $30,000 for the project to spruce up the Pantheon Theatre's exterior.
The Vincennes Sun-Commercial reports officials are seeking a $500,000 state grant for work on the Renaissance Revival-style theater.
The theater opened in 1921 and was the first stage on which Vincennes-born comedian Red Skelton performed. It also hosted the likes of the Marx Brothers, Spike Jones and Duke Ellington.
The theater is owned by INVin, a not-for-profit group that works to attract arts and arts-minded businesses to the city about 50 miles (80 kilometers) north of Evansville.

Filed under: Customer Experience, Customer Lifecycle Marketing, Datarati, Marketing Automation | Tags: CRM, Data Scouts, Digital Transformation, Marketing Automation
I am continually asked by Datarati (www.datarati.com.au) customers the following question…
Q. How do you keep internal momentum post implementation of Marketing Automation and CRM technologies?
A. Build an internal centre of excellence (CoE) to support digital transformation across your Marketing, Sales & Service departments.
Sounds simple. Right? What is a centre of excellence? Who should be in it? Who should own it? Marketing, Sales, Service, IT? Should there be a different strategy, technology stack, resources and campaigns across different business units or have one across the entire organisation?
Firstly, what is a centre of excellence?
A centre of excellence (CoE) is a team, a shared facility or an entity that provides leadership, best practices, research, support and/or training for a focus area. The focus area might be a technology (e.g. Marketing Automation or CRM), a business concept (e.g. Campaign Execution), a skill (e.g. consulting) or a broad area of study (e.g. digital transformation).
Within an organisation, a centre of excellence may refer to a group of people, a department or a shared facility. It may also be known as a competency centre or a capability centre.
The centre of excellence concept is often associated when new software tools, technologies or associated business concepts are being implemented within an organisation such as Marketing Automation or CRM.
So what do you need to build one?
To build an effective centre of excellence (CoE) you need 4 things:
1.) Strategy – you need to define your customer experience vision which spans across Marketing, Sales & Service. Then you need to align your corporate objectives with your marketing objectives and ensure that those objectives if achieved will deliver on your customer experience vision. Finally, you need to ask yourself 'Why Now'? What if we don't invest in a centre of excellence (CoE) to ensure we deliver a seamless customer experience across Marketing, Sales & Service? What impact will this have on our company?
"Strategy without tactics is the slowest route to victory. Tactics without strategy is the noise before defeat." Sun Tzu, 500 BC.
2.) Technology – you need to select a technology stack which incorporates all customer touch points including; email, mobile, social, web, apps, paid search, paid display, sales teams (direct & channel) and call centre teams.
"As a company, you need to get to the future first, ahead of your customers and be ready to greet them when they arrive." – Marc Benioff, Chairman & CEO, Salesforce.com
3.) Resources – you need to invest internally and externally at a factor of 3:1 (For every $1.00 you spend on technology, you need to spend $3.00 on services & enablement.
When embarking on digital transformation change you need to firstly invest in an external services partner who can support you with best practice customer experience strategy e.g. (defining a vision and aligning objectives), marketing automation technology implementation and CRM integration e.g. (Salesforce Marketing Cloud with Salesforce Sales & Service Clouds) and campaign execution support e.g. (campaign design, campaign building, campaign testing, campaign execution and campaign reporting).
You then need to invest significantly internally in acquiring new talent as well as up-skilling and re-training existing staff and providing them with training to develop the right skills which will enable them as an internal services partner.
Best practice Marketing Automation & CRM Training from Data Scouts (official digital transformation course of the Association of Data-Driven Marketing (ADMA): http://www.datascouts.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Data-Scouts-One-Page-Information.pdf
Your centre of excellence (CoE) should consist of both external resources with internal resources. Why? External resources from your partner can provide objective best practices and knowledge from across a range of verticals. Internal resources can provide industry domain knowledge and be empowered to serve the customer and deliver a positive experience regardless of their business unit or KPI. So what type of resources do you need?
At Data Scouts (www.datascouts.com.au) , we recommend you look for the following resources to join your internal services partner team.
Strategy – Digital Transformation Manager, Lifecycle Campaign Manager, CRM Manager, Marketing Automation Manager
Technology – Multi-Cloud Technical Architect, Mulit-Cloud Solution Architect, Multi-Cloud User Experience Architect, Data Analyst
Resources – Program Manager, Project Manager, Change Manager, Culture Manager, Account Director, Account Manager, Account Executive
Campaigns – Creative Design Manager, Web Designer, Web Developer, Quality Assurance Architect, Campaign Analyst.
"Great vision without great people is irrelevant." – Jim Collins, Good to Great
4.) Campaigns – you need to map out the current state of the campaigns you are running across the acquisition, on-boarding, engagement, retention and re-engagement stages of the customer lifecycle. Once you have mapped out the current state, you then need to map out future state campaigns using your new technology stack which will allow you to achieve your customer experience vision.
Once these campaigns have been identified for each lifecycle stage (acquisition, on-boarding, engagement, retention and re-engagement), you need to prioritise these campaigns to ensure you are focusing on customer first initiatives instead of company first initiatives.
"People don't buy products or services, they buy experiences which are delivered by your products and services" – Seth Godin, Best Selling Author
So who should own the centre of excellence, who should pay for it?
The centre of excellence (CoE) should be set up as a shared services group within your organisation. Each division (Marketing, Sales, Service, IT) should all be required to co-invest and have co-ownership of the group. Remember the customer doesn't care who pays for it and who owns it… the customer just wants to ensure they have a frictionless customer experience across all touch points and divisions.
Should there be a different strategy, technology stack, resources and campaigns across different business units or have one across the entire organisation?
Every organisation should have 1 customer experience strategy and vision across Marketing, Sales & Service. This customer experience strategy and vision should be supported by IT as part of the shared services group within the centre of excellence (CoE).
There should be 1 technology stack. These days all the leading vendors have very similar Marketing Automation and CRM capabilities.
There should be 1 group of shared services resources which support multiple business units and divisions.
There should be 1 over arching enterprise wide campaign strategy e.g. number of contacts per month, subscription management etc. However, the tactical execution (content, channel) etc will differ across business units and divisions.
88% of companies are going through digital transformation, only 25% know why. – Brian Solus – Principal Analyst , Altimeter Group
What is your WHY?

According to Fauscette, Marketo took a "completely fresh-from-the-start, ground-up approach" to marketing automation.
"They have a really good interface, really good user experience, and they built out a really deep set of functionality pretty quickly and have gotten good traction." Although it's a relatively new solution, Fauscette maintains that it is more "feature-rich than some of the major players in this market."
Usability also establishes Marketo as the leader. "Marketo's the hot darling in the space, as we see users gravitate to its user experience and ease of design," Wang says.

If you can provide no side information, don't bother posting.
Who is "Bailey?"
If I don't need to bother posting, I guess you don't need to bother commenting.
When your comment was neither smart nor funny.
Down goes Frazier......down goes Frazier!
Now that was some Sweet Science right there. Not that like that shit last Saturday.
Do we have a realistic chance here?
Also, which other receivers do we have a chance with other than Treadwell?
We made his top 13 schools per a Rivals' article.
Was it top 13 or 3? Either way it's better then not being in it.
We are in his top 3 and he is yet to visit. Leon Mcquay is his teamate. stay tuned
We have a chance with Paul Harris and Devon Allen, maybe Darren Carrington. There are a few options, but Treadwell is probably the best bet.
Bailey's recruitment has been a little weird. Normally, I'd say it's a bad sign that he knows he wants to decide in the next month when he hasn't visited yet, but he also put us in his top 3 without visiting, so who really knows.
so would it be better to get bailey and mcquay or just get treadwell by himself? I think its a winning situation either way but I would have to say i want treadwell more (this is under the assumption we are only going to take 1 more wr since our remaining spots are getting low)
I would be with you there. IMO, Treadwell is far more complete than Bailey, and McQuay, although good, is not at a position of need. Win win type of situation though.
it would be cool to get a package deal though, after hearing about multiple ones every year they never seem to materialize
Do we know for sure if they are a package deal?
of course we don't know for sure, what im getting at is kids say they are package deals all the time and rarely end up going to the same school, like stanford and washington last year.
They have never even hinted at a package deal... Would one be more likely to commit if the other did? sure but they have never even made a remark towards a package deal.
I'd rather get Bailey and McQuay than Treadwell by himself. Bailey is plenty good and can stretch the field, and while I think Treadwell is the better overall prospect, McQuay could play cornerback or free safety. And as much as I like Dymonte Thomas and Jarrod Wilson as a pair back there, having a third safety who can push those guys (or pass them) would be great.
That's wishful thinking, though. I really doubt Bailey and McQuay would both come to Michigan.
I think Bailey and McQuay are supposed to be visiting in the next few weeks. Our main competition for Bailey is FSU. It would be nice if this one goes our way.
I'm pretty sure George Bailey is going to stay at the buildings&loan. Although I have no insider info on that, just my gut. I hear his younger brother is also going to be a football star.
I'd be willing to bet Zuzu's petals that Bailey and Mcquay dont end up a package deal.
be worked in here as the scurvy little spider?
That visit he has at UM in a few weeks may be pretty telling??
I agree. I think if Bailey likes what he sees he commits. If he commits I doubt Treadwell does.
I have been getting more and more skeptical about Treadwell anyways. I know half our fanbase already has him blue but I'm not so sure. I believe if he liked us as much as everyone thinks, knowing we are running short of spots he would have committed by now. The fact he's still visiting teams like Illinois is also telling.
If Bailey commits I like our chances with McQuay. Whereas Treadwell has been one of my favorites all along I think two birds in the hand is worth more than one in the bush.
Diamond v2.0 to me... the longer he takes to commit, the less optimistic I am.
sorry bro, I disagree with that reasoning. if Treadwell has been told that the coaches are holding a spot for him (as has been reported on these forums numerous times, though maybe only informed speculation at best), and we all know Treadwell loves being fawned over, then his behavior and lack of commitment at this stage make all the sense in the world.
what's more puzzling to me is the propensity of a lot of people on this board to get all hot and bothered about some kid they know nothing about simply because he has a few stars next to his name.
tremendous used to have a "Michigan man?" category on his recruiting analyses. yes, it was silly and added almost no value, but that's not the point. fast forward a few months and we are experiencing a ton of success and now it's like "who gives a sh*t! if he's got stars I want him!....more more more stars!"
The point isn't whether we are holding a spot for Treadwell. The point is if we get another WR commit I don't see Treadwell coming here. Believe me I would love to be wrong. Just don't see it happening.
As for Bailey. I don't care whether he has stars or no stars. Have you watched his video? The dude has moves. I think our coaches are impressed as well, otherwise they wouldn't have offered him knowing it might have an impact on Treadwell's decision. And McQuay is a stud and we could use another DB/S.
Why does bailey's decision have any impact on Treadwell? either way, Treadwell will be the no. 1 or no. 2 guy. I don't think the fact that we are taking other receivers less talented than him matters one way or another.
thanks for negbanging my post because you disagree. keep it classy bro.
I didn't negbang you bro. I think you are the one who needs to keep it classy. Obviously someone else feels the same way I do.
Bailey would play the slot. Why would this effect Treadwell? Treadwell just loves the recuirting process.
Just because he plays the slot doesn't mean he wouldn't take Treadwell's spot. If Bailey commits, it would give us three receivers, and 22 commits overall. That would mean we'd have one, maybe two more spots left, and the coaches might decide at that time that Treadwell isn't the guy they want more than any other guy on the board, and I wouldn't blame them.
Also - what if Bailey and McQuay both commit, not in the next couple weeks, necessarily, but before Treadwell. Then we might be full, and LT would be SOL.
It would be so excellent if we could turn Armwood High into Pahokee v2.0.
Per Tremendous/Aquaman - Bailey is visiting next week. Buckle Up?
has us in his top 3 already without visiting and L3 has us in his top 3 also,package deal?

Running through the typical upgrade steps.
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
$ sudo do-release-upgrade -d
However, upgrade seems to fail due to broken packages, see below. Most likely due to many legacy PPA added for certain kind of special packages.
Calculating the changes
Could not calculate the upgrade
An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade.
This can be caused by:
* Upgrading to a pre-release version of Ubuntu
* Running the current pre-release version of Ubuntu
* Unofficial software packages not provided by Ubuntu
Found the answer to troubleshot this issue. You must keep the upgrade running at the same time, otherwise the `apt.log` file would not be found. I was surprised that I have so many broken and conflicting package. Follow the procedure, I have to manually remove all broken packages. For certain packages, I have to reinstall because it can't find the actual packages. Result below were truncated to save space.
$ grep Broken /var/log/dist-upgrade/apt.log
Broken libdouble-conversion1:amd64 Breaks on libdouble-conversion1v5:amd64 ......
Broken imagemagick-6-common:amd64 Breaks on libmagickcore-6.q16-2:amd64 ......
Broken libgjs0f:amd64 Conflicts on libgjs0e:amd64 < 1.46.0-1 @ii mK >
Upgrade was slow as I've just installed LaTeX few days back. Downloading all those `texlive-` packages going to take some times.

Our industry-leading insights in extreme value creation for luxury, lifestyle and consumer brands are regularly featured in the most prestigious print and online business, fashion and lifestyle publications in USA, Europe and Asia.
Examples where we are featured
Examples of acquiring and providing insights at some of the world's leading luxury and branding conferences
insights, interviews, publications
Speaking to an exclusive, invite-only group of industry players in New York was guest of honor Daniel Langer, CEO of the Phoenix-based luxury, lifestyle and consumer brand strategy firm Équité.
Daniel Langer shows how the combination state-of-the-art brand strategy expertise, sophisticated luxury brand development tools and techniques with big data analysis is a game changer in luxury and will make the difference between leaders and followers.
Équité CEO Daniel Langer writes in Manager Magazin how Victoria's Secret can still be saved
Jing Daily CEO breakfast in New York, February 4, 2019 - LUXURY BEYOND MILLENNIALS
Daniel Langer said the biggest misconception is that brands need to create cheaper, stripped-down entry-level products to entice younger consumers.
Interview with Équité CEO Daniel Langer by the leading Indian Art of Jewellery magazine in its August 2018 edition where he explains why defensive thinking needs to be eliminated from the mindset of luxury brands.
Are companies and managers too comfortable? Getting out of one's comfort zone is necessary in order to survive and lead the change. With a focus on true innovation, combined with precise brand strategies, companies cannot only master disruption but drive it in order to create sustainable competitive advantage.
The understanding of what makes luxury exceptionally valuable can help brands with a more accessible price positioning to increase their relevance, become more desired and more unique.
When targeting millennials, it's key to be extremely authentic and respect visual language, attitudes and zeitgeist.
Is the World's most expensive omelet too cheap? The case shows the powerful opportunities of applying luxury pricing tools. In fact, many luxury brands are too cheap.
Sustainable Luxury is one of the top topics on the agenda of almost all premium and luxury brands. Companies need to innovate and reinvent beyond the comfort zone.
Daniel Langer, founder and CEO of Équité, provides his tought-provoking views on luxury in Tush, the leading European Luxury, Fashion and Lifestyle magazine. Why Euro 2,000 sneakers may be too cheap. Why ethical shopping could be a dilemma. And why Generation Z is perfectly prepared for luxury.
Why do businesses want Influencers to represent their brand? What additional value do they bring to the table? Why are they effective brand abassadors?
VR's game changing immersion for luxury brands is emotional, it's visceral and not only a "bridge to transaction" as banners and flat video are, but a way to generate demand and motivate your core enthusiasts.
The bad news for luxury brands: those who don't master sustainability will be disrupted and won't survive. Sustainability lip service is not good enough anymore.
With millennials and Gen Z becoming more and more important, luxury, premium and lifestyle brands that stand still and stay in the "long-term" won't survive.
Only few brands realize their full growth potential. These five reasons will showcase why every brand should conduct brand diagnostics workshops in order to accelerate revenue and profit growth.
These five Asian luxury trends are crucial for luxury brands to address in order to resonate with Asian consumers all around the world.
How can you ensure that your brand has a relevant competitive advantage and becomes more premium over time? For the success of your brand we set up a unique collaboration of the world's best experts in branding, premium and luxury. Learn how they combine EQ and IQ to elevate your brand.
How do you ensure that your teams are not only reacting to competition but stay ahead and show intellectual leadership? How do you make sure that they have the mindset of elevating your brand? How do you inspire your team to grow beyond the comfort zone?
ÉQUITÉ announces two new service focus areas that are crucial for luxury and premium brands: Trend Management and Sustainability Management. Master the challenges with an ÉQUITÉ Trend Workshop or an ÉQUITÉ Sustainability Workshop.
Interview with Dr. Daniel Langer, CEO of ÉQUITÉ. WWD asked Langer to elaborate why luxury is the place to be, especially with Millennials.
Luxury is disrupted and companies need to become more agile if they want to survive in the new reality. We identified 5 trends that will be critical for companies to master if they want to survive the tectonic shifts that impact the luxury industry.

Re "Gov. lays off 10,000 workers," Aug. 1
State Controller John Chiang is a real hero for standing up to Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and refusing to cut the pay of state employees to the federal minimum wage of $6.55 an hour. If we pay our state workers $6.55 an hour for a 40-hour week, that comes out to $262 a week or $1,048 a month. With gas and food prices going through the roof, how can we expect them to get by on that, even for a short time? Do you think your family could live on $262 a week?
California's state employees work hard, and they deserve to be treated with basic respect. Schwarzenegger is treating them like pawns because it's just a game to him. He either doesn't understand or doesn't care that people's lives could be ruined by his political brinkmanship.
Julie Sanford
Van Nuys
If not for Schwarzenegger's decision to continue the reductions in vehicle license fees, which costs the state $6 billion a year, the state would have collected an additional $24 billion over the last four years and there would be no fiscal emergency justifying the layoffs and wage cuts of state workers.

Welcome Friend!
I'm grateful you are visiting today. Whether it is your first time or you've chosen to return – I believe it is no coincidence and I'm praying you will be inspired and encouraged by the words here as you continue on the path seeking JESUS – my friend and yours.
Jesus is our savior and God's only begotten son.
We can be thankful to Him for shedding His blood to save us – He paid a debt that He did not owe – to free us
Jesus loves us!
Why- I'll never know – but I'm glad He does.
He is FAITHFUL!
We can TRUST Him and His Words.
Our scripture focus is Psalm 106:12
"Then they believed his words were true and broke out in songs of praise"
It is very freeing when you realize, "God, I never want to be without you. I know you'll always love and help me."
It takes time to "internalize" that God will never lie to you.
God is absolutely UNLIKE the people who've let you down.
Friend, truly trusting God is never automatic, but he's a patient and wise teacher. Halleluiah!
So set your heart on realizing the TRUTH about him and REJOICE as you discover how much He cares for you.
Undoubtedly, when you learn to TRUST him and see his faithful activity in your life, you'll want to sing and shout for JOY!
Let us bow our heads and pray:
"God, thank you for helping me TRUST in You and always loving me – in spite of me! I never want to be without you Lord Jesus. Praise God!

Anyway, since I forgot all the details, maybe its also better to consider I'm very busy after coming back from this trip. Too busy that I don't even have enough time to write a proper story and just manage to put a few picture instead.. So lets enjoy Pulau Aman (if I recall the name correctly)
|the jetty to Pulau Aman is on the Penang's mainland, I think the boat cost RM7 for two way
|Pulau Aman Jeti - Beware of Running Children!
|home-stay system - probably half of the house in the village provide this service
|this Cape enriched with shellfish - some villager digging for shellfish here, but they probably too selfish to share it
|its a 10 minute walk from end to end and all road have sign board - so if you're lost here, you definitely crazy
|there's a lot of chicks here - so boys, lower your gaze please
|a view from another end
|floating restaurant, it also being use as parking lot for fisherman's boat
|the famous Mee Udang that so famous, its being featured online - not that famous actually since not many people read this blog
|The Front Jetty - fortunately no children running around at night, otherwise this village seems odd and scary
|the Cape - again fortunately there no villager being selfish at this time
|for those whose heartbroken, there's only one seat at the bank, so book your place early if you plan to 'menjiwangkan' yourself
|if the seat already stolen by all those 'pemakan kuaci' species, you can still have a nice time starring at Penang Island on the Cape (as long no selfish villager blocking your view)
|finally there's a fishing foot (kaki pancing) spot at the new concrete bridge - for the broken heart, consider this as your last resort
|well hey, the view is not bad either, you can think of the famous Mee Udang and remembering my blog
|with Love - Pulau Aman

Jordanes was a Goth who was born in Scythia in the early part of the 6th century AD. Little is known about his life but it is believed that he worked as a secretary to one of the leading Gothic families.
Jordanes main work is The Origin and Deeds of the Goths which he wrote in about AD 550. Jordanes argued in his book that the Romans had relied heavily on Gothic mercenaries to obtain and preserve their empire.
Primary Sources
(1) Jordanes, The Origin and Deeds of the Goths (c. AD 550)
Then came Caesar... who conquered all kingdoms and even seized islands lying beyond our world.
(2) Jordanes, The Origin and Deeds of the Goths (c. AD 550)
The Goths were wiser than other barbarians and were nearly like the Greeks... King Dicineus (1st century BC) taught the Goths logic and made them skilled in reasoning beyond all other races; he showed them practical knowledge and so persuaded them to abound in good works... Think, I pray you, what pleasure it was for these brave men, when for a little space they had leisure from warfare, to be instructed in the teachings of philosophy.

SHERMAN CUMMINGS, PETITIONER,v.ATTORNEY GENERAL OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, RESPONDENT.
Petitioner is a former state prisoner proceeding pro se with a petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Petitioner challenges a judgment of conviction entered against him in the Sacramento County Superior Court on charges of grand theft from a person, assault, and making a criminal threat. He seeks federal habeas relief on the grounds that the trial court's erroneous admission of evidence violated his right to due process. Upon careful consideration of the record and the applicable law, the undersigned will recommend that petitioner's application for habeas corpus relief be denied.
On October 19, 2007, after a jury trial, petitioner was convicted of grand theft from a person, simple assault, misdemeanor battery, and making a criminal threat. (Clerk's Transcript on Appeal at 279.) The jury acquitted petitioner of robbery and aggravated assault. (Id. at 183, 185.) The trial court subsequently sentenced petitioner to a term of three years in state prison. (Reporter's Transcript on Appeal, Volume II, at 366-67.)
On November 5, 2009, petitioner filed his opening brief on appeal in the California Court of Appeal for the Third Appellate District. (Resp't's Lod. Doc. No. 2.) By order dated May 19, 2010, the state appellate court reversed petitioner's conviction for battery, modified his sentence accordingly, and otherwise affirmed the judgment of conviction. (Resp't's Lod. Doc. No. 1.)
On June 10, 2010, petitioner filed a petition for review in the California Supreme Court, raising the sole claim that the trial court violated his right to due process under both the U.S. and California Constitutions when it admitted evidence that he had committed a prior assault on the husband of his victim in this case. (Resp't's Lod. Doc. No. 5.) The Supreme Court summarily denied that petition by order dated July 22, 2010. (Resp't's Lod. Doc. No. 6.)
Petitioner commenced his federal habeas action by filing a petition for writ of habeas corpus in this court on September 30, 2010.
In its unpublished memorandum and opinion affirming petitioner's judgment of conviction on appeal*fn1 , the California Court of Appeal for the Third Appellate District provided the following factual summary:
A jury convicted defendant Sherman Cummings of grand theft from a person, simple assault, misdemeanor battery, and making a criminal threat. (Pen. Code, §§ 487, subd. (c), 240, 242, 422.) The jury acquitted him of robbery and aggravated assault. (Pen. Code, §§ 211, 245, subd. (a)(1).) The trial court sentenced defendant to prison for a total of three years. Defendant timely filed this appeal. Defendant contends the trial court should not have allowed the People to introduce evidence of a prior assault he committed against the current victim's husband. We shall conclude the trial court properly admitted this evidence. Defendant also contends -- and the Attorney General concedes -- that the battery conviction must be reversed because it was not a charged offense or necessarily included within a charged offense. We agree. We shall reverse the battery conviction, modify the sentence, and otherwise affirm the judgment.
The victim, Delores Sears, lived about four blocks from George's Market. She lived with Ervin Miller, whom she had been with since about 2003, and she was now married to him. She testified that at about 9:30 p.m., on July 18, 2007, she walked her dog toward George's Market. She had had a sexual relationship with defendant, but testified it ended over a year before. As she walked to the market, defendant ran up to her, talking crazy. He said "he was going to get his hoes to kick my ass." He grabbed a bag she was carrying that had three dollars in it, and ran towards the market. She was scared. As she walked back home, defendant caught up with her and asked her to go to his house because he wanted her dog to mate with his dog. He also told her he would "kill me and my dog." He grabbed her and began to choke her so she could not scream. At one point he kicked her dog, and when it became aggressive, he walked off, fast.
Sears testified she knew that defendant had assaulted her husband Miller the year before this incident, and had seen Miller's injuries; this knowledge affected her during the current incident. Sears had a misdemeanor burglary conviction.
When police arrived, Sears was upset and crying. She reported pain, and had redness around her neck. She told an officer that defendant first made a threat to her as she ran through her front door. Miller testified that Sears came home crying and upset. Miller had two convictions reflecting moral turpitude.
Miller testified that on July 19, 2006, as he was riding his bike to George's Market, defendant jumped out and hit him in the face twice, cutting his cheek, and he still bore scars, which he showed to the jury. A police officer testified that Miller had "fairly" deep lacerations from his chin to his ear, and bruising under his eye, as a result of the 2006 incident. Defendant pled guilty to assault and was granted probation, with conditions that he serve 120 days in jail and not come within 100 feet of Sears and Miller's house.
In count one, the jury acquitted defendant of robbery but convicted him of grand theft from a person. In count two, the jury acquitted defendant of aggravated assault, but convicted him of assault and battery. In count three, the jury convicted defendant of making a criminal threat.
Based on the verdicts, the trial court found defendant violated his probation in a prior case (Sacramento County Superior Court No. 06F06314), in which defendant pled guilty to aggravated assault (Pen .Code, § 245, subd. (a)(1)) stemming from his 2006 attack on Miller.
The trial court sentenced defendant to a total of three years in prison, as we describe in more detail later in this opinion. Defendant timely appealed.
I. Standards of Review Applicable to Habeas Corpus Claims

This information is included in the Online Anne Arundel County Relocation Package for Fort George G. Meade, NSA, Northrop Grumman, BWI, the the U.S. Naval Academy
Looking for a Maryland waterfront home? Look no further than Anne Arundel County, with over 500 miles of shoreline along the many inlets, coves, bays and creeks that are tributaries to the Chesapeake Bay and several rivers. Many waterfront properties have Riparian Rights, and others are located in communities with a marina or community pier.
According to the Metropolitan Regional Information System, Inc. (MRIS), there are about 400 waterfront properties for sale in Anne Arundel County at this time (10/21/07) ranging from $195,000 for a two-bedroom rancher on Marley Creek in Glen Burnie to $16 million estate in Annapolis that features twelve bedrooms, ten full and two half baths, and a quarter-mile of waterfront on Whitehall Creek.
Following is a breakdown of places in Anne Arundel County where you can find a waterfront home:
- Annapolis (137)
- Arnold (30)
- Churchton (9)
- Crownsville (15)
- Curtis Bay (13)
- Deale (14)
- Edgewater (30)
- Galesville (1)
- Gibson Island (5)
- Glen Burie (18)
- Harwood (2)
- Lake Shore (4)
- North Beach (5)
- Orchard Beach (3)
- Pasadena (68)
- Riva (8)
- Severna Park (24)
- Shady Side (13)
- Tracey's Landing (1)
- West River (6)
There are many ways that I can refine the search besides city and price. For example, I can search according to body of water, water depth, and whether or not the property has a dock. It is possible, also, to search for properties that may not be waterfront, but perhaps have a waterview, or homes that are located in communities with water access.
While I don't pretend to be a "waterfront expert", I am a REAL ESTATE expert with over thirty years of experience in Anne Arundel County, Maryland. If you're interested in waterfront property and have a WATER or BOATING question I can't answer, I will get you the answer. Please let me know how I can help you.
