While that video is enough to ruin almost anything Tom Cruise has ever done, I still haven't let it ruin "Jerry Maguire" for me. Maybe it's Cuba Gooding, Jr's five-star performance as Rod Tidwell, maybe it's the football scenes (which except for Tidwell's end zone celebration are surprisingly realistsic), I still like this movie even with the Scientologist rocking the lead role and the ever annoying Renee Zellweger playing his female love interest.
If you were a fan of the Maguire character, one of the true stomach-turning scenes was when hotshot QB Frank Cushman (played by Jerry O'Connell) and his overly involved father decided to sign papers with Bob Sugar (played by Jay Mohr as only Jay Mohr could play it) because Jerry was in the lobby "with the black fella". Cushman punked Maguire and punked him badly.

Western boots is one style of shoe that never goes out of style. They come back in slightly different renditions all the time. Mine are from Asos and I bought them a year or two ago. I had been lusting after a pair for ages, but couldn't find the right ones. Till I found these ones. They are ankle height, have a pointed toe, patent leather in a slightly contrasting color and they have steel tips and heels. And they are super versatile.
Outfit 1 is super easy but stylish. A structured blazer with a simple dress in similar colors as the shoes makes for a well-rounded outfit that is not too coordinated. The shoes have some burgundy patent leather accents on the tips and heels which ties in with the color of the dress. The blazer has a touch of white which breaks up the color scheme and keep the outfit from becoming too dark. Basic, but comfy.
This next outfit repeats the color scheme of the first outfit, but it adds a touch of metallic. This jacket is one of the stand out pieces in my wardrobe. It was a bit of a splurge, but this metallic bomber jacket is so much fun to wear. It also adds a bright element and ties in nicely with the steel details on the shoes. To keep everything in line with one another, I just paired it with a pair of black skinny jeans and a basic t-shirt to make the jacket center stage.
But these boots are also perfect to pair with a bit more edgy outfit. This one is classy on top, but a bit biker girl at the bottom. This skirt is one of my favorites in my wardrobe as it adds a more rock n roll vibe to everything you wear. It keeps the shirt from looking too much like a pajama top and scales it up to the type of outfit you might wear to a night out.
What better way to style these boots than with a grungy 90s style dress? This dress is one of my favorites to wear in the fall. It has a sweetheart neckline and a cut out in the back. I usually pair it with a basic cardigan and black tights as the print is so bold. Since the background is black, it makes for a great moody fall floral, which is why it pairs so well with the boot.
However, these darker booties also pair well with a lighter color palette as well. The top has a miniscule black stripe but it mostly white. The skirt is again burgundy: I just love pairing these boots with outfits that have other burgundy accents in it. This corduroy skirt is one of my particular favorites and is perfect for the fall time. It is thick enough and with a pair of black tights in varying levels of opacity, you can wear it all fall and winter.
How would you style western boots?
Thanks! Happy Friday and have a great weekend.

Defenders of Oasis Review
by Mike Moehnke · Published April 15, 2018 · Updated November 18, 2018
Friend Like Me
Thanks to Sega of America inventing a name connection where none existed in Japan between Defenders of Oasis for the Game Gear and Beyond Oasis on the Genesis, for years many players have been convinced that the two are related. Defenders is actually nothing like Beyond Oasis and Legend of Oasis in the way it plays and in terms of its narrative. What the games do share is a look derived partly from the Arabia of centuries past, something that helps them stand out even today. Otherwise Defenders is an interesting RPG that could use a remake one day, because the constraints of its design haven't aged very well.
After oversleeping on the day he is to meet his betrothed, the Princess Mariam, the Prince of Shanadar encounters the more pressing issue that foreign soldiers are invading. He escapes and gets tasked with the job of snatching a royal relic from the occupied palace, which turns out to be a magic lamp containing a genie. Even with the genie, stopping the incursion of invaders is beyond the Prince's abilities at this point. It seems they may be working on behalf of an ancient evil named Ahriman, who seeks to return from banishment.
RPG narratives in 1992 were generally not complex, and Defenders of Oasis upholds that standard of the era. Giving each party member a few lines of dialogue to establish a character trait is as in-depth as the portrayals get. The localization is pretty good for the time in which it was written, and certain NPCs get just as much development as the central cast. An expansive story on a Game Gear title was unlikely to happen though, and not much time is spent on plot.
Combat takes the form of random turn-based battles that at first glance are very similar to umpteen other titles through the years. For its age and platform, Defenders of Oasis has a couple of interesting ideas to apply, principally via giving each character a unique command in battle. This results in some frustration whenever one would like to run away though, because only the Prince can do this, and he may not get to take an action until quite a bit has happened. The sheer randomness of the encounter rate can also puzzle players, because there will be times when so long has passed since a battle that it is unclear whether an area is dangerous.
He may appear to be talking to the mirror, but there is indeed a great evil behind this emperor.
What becomes apparent after spending a little time with the combat is that turn order is rather random. Instead of having all participants take an action in one overall turn, the game individually calculates which combatant will act next. This results in the same character getting to take two or even three actions without anything else moving at all, while the inert participants get to sit there and take it. If a boss or other powerful enemy gets the advantage in this way, the result could lead to a Game Over screen before the player can respond. Once a full party has been assembled surviving mischance is much more likely, but a few opponents in the early going have instant death abilities to raise tensions. An interesting means of circumventing this comes from the game saving automatically prior to every battle — in fact, the player cannot manually record progress.
The three human characters progress in a standard fashion through gaining levels and new equipment, though they never learn any new abilities. The genie is different as experience points mean absolutely nothing to him, and because only he can use magic. Instead of increasing through levels, his statistics grow after finding or purchasing items that directly augment him, and his magical selection increases by locating signs inside of dungeons that teach different spells. Along with a plethora of random battles, dungeons also feature some interesting segments that reward attention, such as a series of minibosses that will only activate if approached from a certain direction.
It is incumbent upon the player to remember what the descriptions of spells reveal, because the game provides no reminders as to their purpose later on, particularly unfortunate when their names are not descriptive enough to provide a clue. The same is true for all items located along the way. Such an approach was hardly unique to Defenders of Oasis in the early 90s, but remains bothersome when playing it today. Having a fairly spacious inventory is quite helpful at least, particularly when numerous plot-critical items can never be removed from it.
What the heck are those flanking soldiers standing on?
There are no animations to view in battle and the player's side is invisible, but such things were common at the time. Defenders of Oasis gets credit for using the Game Gear hardware effectively to depict its locales and rogue's gallery. Enemies actually come in a number of interesting designs that help to bring home the distinct setting, and even considering the multitude of palette swaps these images do a good job of sticking with the player.
The single most impressive aspect of Defenders of Oasis's sound design stems from a few spoken words that pop up while playing. Deciphering exactly what is being said will prove rather difficult, especially when the words seem to be in Japanese, but the effort is impressive for the hardware. Musical compositions are a mix of amiably forgettable and fairly catchy, though without much that sticks in the mind after turning off the game.
Sega may have changed the title because its original Japanese name used the word Crusader, but the result has been a higher-than-necessary level of confusion amongst the niche crowd of RPGamers who actually remember it. Defenders of Oasis is a good fit for the 3DS Virtual Console, if for no other reason than to save on the Game Gear's notorious battery appetite. I didn't love it and numerous aspects haven't aged well, but the experience has stayed with me instead of immediately receding into poorly-recalled impressions. Many newer games can't manage to achieve that much.

Despite the fact that the iPhone 5 is not even in the shops yet, the device is on eBay at ridiculous prices.
The latest iPhone 5 has started to show up on eBay with some asking for huge amounts of cash. One 64GB model is currently on eBay at the price of $9,901. The phone has already had more than 30 solid bids on it. What is strange is that you can get the same device from Apple with a two year contract for just $399.
There was a white 16GB model and this sold for $900, which is of course $250 more than you would pay for the retail price and $700 more than if you were to take it out over contract for two years.
Another person has advertised the 64GB iPhone 5 for $1,375 and another user has gotten 28 bids for two 16GB versions which are at the moment going for $1,350.
Some people have also listed the handset as buy it now. One person wants $2,500 for two 16GB iPhone 5 units and another has put a price of $3,200 for two 64GB handsets. One good thing about this is that they have offered to ship for free to the buyer.
It is thought that most buyers that purchase an iPhone 5 from eBay will do so outside of the US as they would have to wait for the device longer if they were to acquire it by normal means. Meanwhile if you are in the US, Apple have been taking pre-orders for the iPhone 5, which should start selling on Friday in retail stores.

Because the golf courses are almost 1000 yards longer.
But according to some the players are hitting it 3000 yards farther!
Isn't that the truth. Ugh. Gone are the days when the real men could feather in a 5 iron from 153 to truly "make" a shot. Anybody can just go all out on a PW from that distance; it takes no talent at all. Rumor has it that a 19th century surgeon didn't even intend for DJ to hit an 8-iron 190, so why are we allowing it?
I like your golf analysis Mr. Schaeffer, but you should really stick to what you know best. Selling BMWs!
Because tech has been geared to "farther," and not "closer."
Agreed. My thinking is that there has been much more devotion to drivers, fw's, etc. than to irons. Perhaps disproportionately so?
I think that's because it's easier to sell someone a new driver than it is to sell them an entire new set of irons. That's why drivers and putters are changed so often. But on the flip side, IMO the driver is very important. A bad drive is going to put you in a much worse position than a bad iron shot.
....because courses have evolved with the equipment.
People complain about it only being wedges into par 4s. But the greens are so firm now that holding a pitching wedge is like holding a 7 or 8 iron from years ago.
And now, thanks to improved equipment and the genius of the PGA Tour, we now have all of these wonderful, new, improved, exciting, Tour-ready golf courses; the TPC of Avondale, the TPC Four Seasons in Las Colinas, the TPC of San Antonio, Liberty National, the Ritz Carlton at Dove Mountain... all of those courses, along with too many other "TPC" courses to name, dominating the lists of "The Worst Courses on the PGA Tour."
Golf is the perfect unbeatable game.
Tech promotes distance and accuracy, correct?
Even as amateurs, we all know that a good score is not always the product of perfect distance and perfect accuracy.
You're telling me that a guy who couldn't consistently hit a 30* 6i, won't now be all over that hole with a 30* 7i???
And Cog Hill, Torrey Pines, and a few courses designed by . . . *gasp* . . . Jack Nicklaus himself! I'm positive that the state of modern technology severely shackled his vision - in 1987.
Cog Hill was always an unremarkable post-classic golf course. It's a quasi-muni. Torrey Pines (which I have played quite often and personally enjoy) is a true muni. It has never been a favorite of golf architecture buffs. The grass there is like a science experiment. I also think that Torrey's rep suffers because they use the North course for two days of the Farmers.
Personally, I like Jack's design at Dove Mountain. I don't know if the tour players didn't like the setup for Match Play, or what. I don't know why they don't like it.
But we do know what the players consistently like; courses like Cypress Point, the Melbourne Sandbelt courses, Crystal Downs, Sand Hills, Royal County Down, Prairie Dunes, Riviera; NGLA; all courses that are or will be threatened by technology (or which are basically unusable for elite stroke play events).
None of them are unusable. Putts will always be more important than what club someone hits.
At a cost , according to some people who may or may not be the head of the USGA, of TRILLIONS!!!!
Have amateur scores decreased in the last 20 years?
The elderly couple in front of me yesterday really held up our round. Probably because my course had to be lengthened to combat their assault on par.
NGLA only event ever is the Walker Cup-in 2013.
Sand Hills was built in 1995, just on the outskirts of a town of 491 folks. Where would they put the spectators at night? In the basement?
Lol... It seems like half of the old timers want to claim technology is ruining the game and the other half want to claim it makes no difference and it's all a scam.
Indeed. Maybe they should raise the hoop and move back the FT line to preserve the legacies of Hornacek and Mark Price. You know, reward the real shotmakers.
Because at the end of it all it will still always be the Indian and not the arrow.
Oh you mean that basketball-playing athletes maybe aren't getting all that much better? It's just golfing "athletes"?
Or is it better said that unlike golf, in basketball there aren't equipment manufacturers with R&D budgets of many, many millions, all building better and better free-throw shooting machines for the players to use?
Nah, I think it's pretty much across the board.
My sincere apologies, but that Cousy dribbling expo that would get picked in any middle school game today makes me laugh every time through. Broke ya ankles!
Cousy was great in his era. Amazing, really. Nobody, however, deludes himself into thinking Ol' Bobby could run the point for the Spurs today; that would be plain stupid to suggest.
And, yet, we are expected to think that the legendary golfers of yesteryear could somehow be just as legendary today? I'm not buying it, and I'm pretty old.
Players back then were great, and should be celebrated. Players now are better.
I don't think that the players now are better than the stars of yesteryear, there are just more of them now. It is impossible to compare different era's in golf.
The average over all scores. may be about the same as years ago, but you see many more 59s, 60, 61, 63 than ever before. Just about every tournament someone will post 63 or less.
So, what have learned? That the courses are longer and that players have better equipment to hit it further? Anythong else than that? Do they hit a 150 yd approach shot better now?
No, just higher. Somebody needs to do something about it. Those poor designers didn't design those courses to be mocked by players hitting it further than they thought people could hit it back in 1930. Stop the madness already.

Q: "Tetris permutation" set generation In the game of tetris you are guaranteed to get each of the 7 unique pieces in some random order. For this we will call them abcdefg. This would give us 7! or 5040 unique starts.
However, there is also a "hold feature", which will swap the current piece out with one that has been previously held, or with none the first time swapped.
Given this, (using only 4 pieces to simplify), if we have the sequence abcd, we can create the sequences bacb, bcad, bcda, badc, .... through different uses of holding.
Is there a way to generate a set of all possible starts such that no members of the set can be made from another? Is this the same set as a set of all starts that can be used to generate all 5040 sets? Is there a name for this kind of set?

1% of that is just 500. I'm here for 5 days. If I can write and perform for 100 people a day, I can make poetry for 1% of an entire city.
Why? We often talk about the reach and impact of art in communities. About who has access to it and who it is *for*. Part of my joy with RENT Poet is the unconventional people I write for on the street and the satisfaction of getting to know them and validate them through collaborating on art in that moment. The grassroots nature of the practice lets me be a mirror, a toolbox, in any given community. I have talked about the work as analogous to a fortune teller or shaman - a guide that just helps people see what they already know. That, itself, is a healing art.
My friend Jared talks about four crucial elements in art-making: effort, risk, momentum, joy. This is a way to maximize all four - to 'game-ify' my time here with a challenge, to myself and to the community, and to try to build momentum for my stay. By attempting to make connections, and the resulting poems, with even 1% of the city's population in one week, I hope to break through the glass box of the art and literary world and make really populist, red blooded poetry that touches the lives of a significant number of residents of freaking Grand Forks, North Dakota.
1. Tonight I have a booth at ArtSee, a big art festival that attracts about 300 people. I will be writing there and have cards for commissions I can write later and mail folks at home. The way this works, I will count couples and groups as multiple people if they jointly commission a piece or commission it for each other, but I have to write or perform for each person I can count.
2. I have a residency at Urban Stampede coffee shop through the week and will be writing for folks the whole time there.
3. On Sunday, I'm going invite people to turn up to the coffee shop for covert gift making and giving of the literary variety. It's my happening/immersive theatre-oriented way of teaching a class. I want to explore bringing strangers together to write not only with but *for* one another.
4. The main event! On Monday I'm going to work to pack out The Word Parlor close to its 100 person capacity! I have a 20 minute set and close out the night, and I'll be writing before and after.

Salt Lake Co, UT – Injury Collision on State St
Home > Blog > Salt Lake Co, UT – Injury Collision on State St
Posted On Dec, 03, 2020 By Accident News
Salt Lake Co, UT (December 02, 2020) – At least one person is reported to have suffered injuries after a car accident on State Street on Wednesday, December 2nd.
According to initial reports from Salt Lake County law enforcement, the collision occurred at the intersection of State Street and Winchester Street in Salt Lake County.
Paramedics evaluated those involved in the accident and rendered medical treatment to those who needed it. First responders worked with police to shut off the immediate area in order to investigate and to remove vehicle wreckage from the interstate.
At this time, investigations surrounding the accident are ongoing.
Our thoughts are with the victims injured in this accident. We hope for their full recovery.
Car Accidents in Salt Lake County
Car crashes are the main cause of unintentional fatalities in the United States. Car crashes are also the cause of severe or lifelong injuries to more than two million crash victims every year. The state of Utah witnesses about 52,000 car crashes in just one year, 22,000 of which end with some degree of injury to their victims.
When victims are injured in accidents caused by the negligence of other drivers, it is crucial that they seek legal guidance from a skilled and knowledgeable car accident attorney in Salt Lake City as soon as possible. When victims are harmed in collisions, through no fault of their own, they are often able to obtain compensation from wrongdoers to alleviate the financial costs they face for medical treatment, lost wages, property repairs, and a variety of other economic and non-economic damages.
At Jardine Law Offices P.C., our Utah personal injury attorneys fight aggressively to ensure our clients get the justice they rightfully deserve. Our skilled and knowledgeable attorneys review the circumstances surrounding each of our clients' cases to determine the most appropriate course of action. We put together solid legal claims that we leverage against defendants while demanding full and fair compensation for victims.

The Loose Women panel have sparked a massive debate after questioning whether or not children should be encouraged to share.
Hosts Ruth Langsford, Coleen Nolan, Janet Street-Porter and Stacey Solomon were discussing the issue in light of a recent viral Facebook post, where one mother said she was fed up of her son being told he had to share with other children.
'My child is not required to share with yours,' Alanya Kolberg wrote in her message, which has been shared more than 200,000 times.
The presenters had mixed views on the subject, with mum-of-two Stacey being the most vocal.
'First of all, she seems outraged that other children wanted to play with this toy, and I mean come on, of course they do!' she exclaimed.
'Moral of the story, don't let your child take a truck or toy that other kids are going to want to play with,' Ruth agreed.
Stacey added that Alayna's sandwich analogy was very different, because it wasn't about the interaction between the children. 'If he had food, I wouldn't say give away all your food son!' she quipped.
Twitter users have also had their say, with many saying that they 'totally agree' with the fact that children should not be forced to share their belongings if they don't want to.
'I totally agree about the not forcing to share. I've had my children's toys broken or stolen by others as the pressure to share,' one viewer wrote.
However, others believed that those who encouraged sharing were in the right. 'I'm with Stacey. The sandwich analogy is ridiculous. Of course you ain't going to share your lunch. Interacting? Fine. #LooseWomen' one stated.

Hey there! This evening I have a review of a couple sets of plates from Cici & Sisi. My first Cici & Sisi plates (which I purchased so many years ago) were the typical stainless steel plates but for the last couple years most (if not all) of the plates they have released have been acrylic. I was sent the set of six Zodiac-themed plates and the two Fairytale-themed plates, focused on Alice In Wonderland and Little Red Riding Home. I've done eight manis that you can read all about below, along with my thoughts on these plates.
Hey there! Since it's the last day of February and some of you lovely folks may live in places that actually get spring weather in March, I thought I should post a mani I did a couple months ago before snow is forgotten about for the year. I was partially inspired by Simply Nailogical's 3D snow globe nails. She made something more like a real snowglobe while mine are fully solid. I originally did these for the 3D/embellished prompt for the 26 Great Nail Art Ideas prompt but went with some blinged out nails instead. But I did enjoy wearing these (yup, I did both hands though my right hand was VERY messy) so I wanted to share them anyway.
Hey there! Today I have a review of an innovative new product from Bundle Monster - the Dual-ended Pencil Stamper/Clean Up Brush. It's just that. One end has a small, squishy stamper head; the other has an acetone-safe clean up brush. If you do a lot of stamping of smaller, individual images, this is absolutely a must-have as it makes placement easy AND you'll always have a clean up brush handy. I don't know about anyone else but it seems like that is the one item I'm constantly misplacing. The brush end comes with a cap so it won't get ruined and there's an extra stamper head, which are nice little extras to have.
Hey there! Happy Monday to everybody! I think my brain is still stuck in weekend-mode but I'll do my best to put together a coherent blog post. I recently received the UberChic Beauty Got Chevron 02 stamping plate to review and my official review is pretty simple - it's great! I never would've guessed there were so many chevron-variations possible but Brittany has come up with an entire second plate of all-thing zig zag. You can tell I really enjoyed this plate because I've used it in 5 full manis since receiving it.
Hey there! To end off The Digit-al Dozen's Mythical Creatures week, we also have Nail Crazies Unite prompt of Red & Black Hobbies. How can anyone combine such specific themes, you ask. Well I managed to do it and ended up with my favourite mani of the week. For my hobby, I chose reading. I love reading, especially at the lake in the summers (I admit that I don't read nearly enough in winter). I have read the Game of Thrones books and watched the show, sometimes repeatedly. I also listened to the entire Binge Mode podcast series on it. In other words, GoT takes enough time that it is also practically a hobby. And there's DRAGONS!!! Take that super specific prompts....combo'ed!
Hey there! It's the fourth day of The Digit-al Dozen's Mythical Creatures week and today is one I attempted twice and I'm still shaking my head at it. Maybe it's because I think fairies are so cute and magical but I really only have a couple stamping plates with fairy images. Unfortunately neither of my goes at this, turned out nearly as whimsical as I was hoping. After these, I gave up. It's as good a fairy mani as we're going to get from me this month.
Hey there! For the third day of The Digit-al Dozen I have some nail art I never would've imagined doing - flying pigs. Frequently when I'm trying to come up with ideas, I ask my sister to start listing off the first things she thinks of for a theme. For this one, I already had my own list but I asked her anyway and amazingly we both thought of flying pigs. What are the chances? So of course I had to do it. Thank goodness there is actually a flying pig image on one of the plates I have!
Hey there! It's Day 2 of The Mythical Creatures week. Today I channelled a former DD member, Cheyenne from CDB Nails and used her amazing fire mani as a base for some phoenix nail art. I don't actually know very much about the phoenix except that I seem to really like them on my nails. This isn't the first phoenix nails I've done and I'm sure it won't be the last.
Hey there! It's a new Digit-al Dozen week...woohoo! This month we're tackling Mythical Creatures. At first I didn't really love the prompt mostly because I couldn't really think 5 unique mythical creatures but I ended up really liking some of the designs I have for you this week. Today's mani is one that I loved. I have a feeling we'll see lots of unicorns this week and I can't wait. I think these turned out really pretty. I actually liked the base so much that I didn't want to cover it up but it had to be done. I did take a photo before I stamped though so you can see it.
Hey there! Since it was Valentine's Day earlier this week, today's 26 Great Nail Art Ideas challenge was to do a love-themed mani but there was a twist. No pink or red! I have to admit that I do immediately think of pink and red when I think Valentine's so I liked this prompt. But I did just realize that lots of my V-Day manis this year had different colors. Yay me!
Hey there! Happy Valentine's Day to all the lovely folks out there! I'm a single lady so I'm not celebrating, except to go out for beer and wings with one of my friends right away. But I wanted to stop in and quickly post the Valentine's Day nail art I've been wearing over the last week or so, including my current mani (the first one I'm posting here). It also happens to be the Nail Challenge Collaborative's Love month so there should be lots of love-themed mani in the links at the end of this for you to browse. If you're curious about any of the products I used for mine, it's all down below.
Hey there! Today I have a quick review of a few nail art products from Beauty Bigbang. If you haven't heard of them, they're a beauty company from overseas that carries a huge variety of products at really low prices. Personally I've only tried the nail art products so I can't speak for it all but the nail art items are certainly worth the cost. Shipping seems to take about 3-4 weeks which is much quicker than other companies I have ordered from. Today I have some chameleon flakies, black chrome powder, a dual-ended gradient sponge tool and a stamping plate so it's a pretty varied post today. I really enjoyed all of them and would happily recommend them all. If you're interested in these or other Beauty Bigbang products, use the code "CLAWS" to receive 10% off your order.
Hey there! Since Valentine's Day is coming up but not everyone is necessarily fond of the day, the Nail Crazies Unite theme today is Anti Valentine's Hearts. I wasn't actually sure how to combine hearts with the "anti" part of the prompt but black splatter always does the trick, right! Since I've been loving bright colours lately, to stave off the winter dreariness, I did the hearts in a brightly-colored gradient. It's actually a bit tough to see that they were hearts but they really were.
Hey there! Today's prompt for the 26 Great Nail Art Ideas prompt is Neon and Black, a combination I always love. I used it as an opportunity to copycat a mani I saw last year that I fell in love with from Sam H Nails (now @samhnails2.0 on Instagram after some jerk hacked her account). The combination of skulls with the cheery neon colors is awesome, isn't it? And for once my camera decided to actually show some of the brightness that this mani had in real life (which for my camera is a small miracle)!
Hey there! I have something new on my blog today! My Mani Box is a subscription box from Beautometry which I think is a great idea. Personally I'm a giant fan of grab bags of all sorts and this is sort of a grab bag for nail art! Every month has a new theme. I received December's box which was themed Kiss Me At Midnight (presumably to ring in the new year). In my box was two MoYou London plates (you get to pick your size, regular or XL), a Ms Sparkle polish, Ribbits Stickits water decals and stencils and a Beautometry nail file. I put use to all of them as you'll see.

Trump: "FBI Is Totally Unable to Stop the National Security Leakers"
President rips subversives in failing national security agency
RT - February 24, 2017 Comments
President Donald Trump has hit out at the FBI for failing to stop the leaking of national security information to the press.
Trump blasted the organization in a two-part tweet, saying it couldn't even stop leakers within its own ranks.
The FBI is totally unable to stop the national security "leakers" that have permeated our government for a long time. They can't even……
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 24, 2017
find the leakers within the FBI itself. Classified information is being given to media that could have a devastating effect on U.S. FIND NOW
Trump has publicly lambasted the media several times in recent weeks over MSM allegations he was struggling to work with his cabinet. Information leaked to the press led to the resignation of former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn over his contact with Russian ambassador Sergey I. Kislyak.
Flynn's resignation came after The New York Times reported that officials close to Vice President Mike Pence said Flynn was suspected of omitting details of his conversations with Kislyak, when speaking to the VP. The Washington Post reported that Acting Attorney General Sally Yates and a national security official told White House Counsel Donald McGahn that Flynn could be vulnerable to blackmail from the Russians.
"Well the leaks are real… the news is fake because so much of the news is fake," Trump told a press conference when questioned about the leaks.
Last week Trump tweeted that "low-life leakers" would be caught, telling reporters on the same day that he had "called the Justice Department to look into the leaks."

What I'm not seeing that they need is a redesigned Jetta and a redesigned Passat to inject some sales momentum back into those lines.
This probably applies to North American markets only, but I would like VW to work more on mass market models, rather than niche ones. Audi would be the prefect candidate to carry models such as the future Concept R (whatever it will be named), which likely to have premium pricing. Bring the Polo over, price decreases on the Golf, Jetta, and Passat to be more competitive, from a price standpoint only (yeah I know about the currency issues).
As for pricing VWoA are going to release the Golf V for under $16,000 according to rumors also rumors say Polo may not come if this strategy works.
Passat & Jetta will most likely stay as they are unfortunately until VWoA work out there pricing strategy which includes importation etc.
I agree VWoA need the Polo, as for VW trying to get sales momentum it is working they are finally listening to the NA customer.
The Jetta will receive a mild facelift next year, I've heard from rumors.
VW will show a Coupe Study/Concept @ the 2006 Las Vegas SEMA show.
As for the R32 VWoA will import a limited number next year.
I would love to see VW get into RWD cars.
Yes It would definitely be madness, I hope the production version of the Concept R does not disappoint.
I'm really looking forward to a 2nd generation Phaeton. I'm in love with that car, and I'm curious to see if a new generation can lift sales and built up the VW image. The origional A8 or LS wern't runaway sucess cars, but now in their newer generations both sell pretty well. Hope the Phaeton can follow this!
I'm actually quite looking forward to the GX-3 production, if that really is going to be produced.


On my sons 4th birthday 2 weeks ago we took the very easy "hike" to Munson Creek Falls outside Tillamook Oregon. The path winds through some pretty forest along Munson Creek, then opens up at the top of a short hill with this breathtaking view of the over 300 foot drop. Midway down the falls is a huge log jam. We walked as far as we could up the trail (it is closed at the top of the platform that you can see here in this photo) to a private area and presented my son with a little birthday cake that we had packed in. Not many kids get a birthday cake at the base of a beautiful waterfall in the woods, but we made it happen because being in the outdoors is his favorite thing!
Never knew that was there! Miss Oregon so much!
Very pretty - lovely scene!
Beautiful, thanks for sharing. Oregon is one of the few states left on my list to visit. I'll get there soon.
Wow! What a great birthday treat and an amazing place to visit.

An End to Exercise
December 2, 2020 | Felicity Greene
In the weeks leading up to Thanksgiving Break, the children of the Sky Class started a unit of study all about exercise. You may remember from a previous blog post that the children had begun to think about the variety of different ways they move their bodies and exercise. The children also began to notice how their bodies felt different after exercising.
As this study came to a close, the children still had many questions about exercise that needed answers. It was decided that they needed the help of someone who had a lot of knowledge about exercise and could answer their questions. An exercise expert!
So, on the Thursday before break, the Sky Class had a zoom interview with Mr. Neals, an expert in basketball! Before the interview, the children compiled a list of questions to ask. Some were about basketball, others were about equipment, the body, or exercise in general.
The interview started off with an introduction to Mr. Neals where he shared some information about his job as a basketball coach. Next, the children had a chance to ask some of the questions that they had such as…
How do you think of new exercises to do?
How do you get the ball in the hoop?
How high is the hoop?
How many points make you win the game?
Can basketball end in a tie?
How many people are on a team?
What parts of your body do you exercise in basketball?
Do you have to run in your job?
Why does your heart beat fast when you exercise?
What is your favorite kind of exercise?
The children were especially excited to see a demonstration of how to dribble a basketball!
This was a wonderful culmination to the study of exercise. Stay tuned to future blogs to learn about the next study the children of the Sky Class will take on!

I love Lush and always have to buy something when they have a new range whether it's Christmas, Valentine's etc. I had a little peek at the Easter offering recently and here's what I came away with.
Fluffy egg bath bomb - £2.95. I love this one and buy it every year - the pink bath bombs are always my favourites.
Ta-dah - smacked open on the side of the sink and quite a clean break too. What's that we have there in the egg...?
It's a lickle bunny rabbit! To be honest I was a bit disappointed with how unlike a bunny this looks, but ah well. I still liked the novelty of cracking the egg open, even the bf came for a look at what I was up to.
I used one half of the yellow egg shell for my bath today and set it off fizzing like crazy.
It turned my bath water a serious Easter chick yellow and smelt rather nice too as it's got grapefruit, lemon and vanilla. It's supposed to smell a little bit chocolatey - I didn't notice that, but I don't like chocolatey smelling bath products anyway.
aw I love the carrot one!
these are adorable! i just realized there was a lush store 15 minutes from my house! i am so excited! went to the store the other day and i ALMOST got there! i cant wait to see what they come out with around the winter holidays!
Is it not slightly .... gross to have a bath the same color as pee?

The most effective parenting strategies often don't come from gurus but from real parents getting creative in moments of desperation. One mother threatens to sing in public anytime her daughters argue; another allows her daughter to play with tampons to get a few minutes on the toilet alone. For parents and caregivers with kids of all ages, the unconventional 'wins' in this book have helped children to diversify their appetites, stop sibling rivalry, cultivate independence, develop manners, and open up- as well as parents themselves to find imaginative ways of salvaging time, money, intimacy, and their sanity.

In Retrospect: McQueen's Machine
Heading for the Hollywood hills at the wheel of Steve McQueen's beloved Jaguar XKSS
Jaguar Features
by writers: Matt Stone photographers: John Kiewicz August 04, 2004
Cool. Handsome. Talented. Paranoid. Driven. Mercurial. Idealistic. Straightforward. And Sexy. Sexy as hell. These are but a few of the words used to describe Terrence Steven McQueen. Even now, nearly 25 years after his passing, Steve McQueen's legend lives large. A troubled, dyslexic, often homeless youth who found his calling on both stage and set, McQueen was the most complex of human beings. He could be kindhearted one moment, evil-spirited the next. He exhibited a wicked sense of humor and a violent temper. He was always the perfectionist. A man's man. And a lady's man.
McQueen's complicated life and wildly successful career paralleled the tenets of theater itself: Comedy and Tragedy. Possessing a steely blue gaze and a smoldering moodiness, he magnetized everyone with whom he came in contact, whether in person or only through the silver screen. His gritty sex appeal made him a star in life and a Hollywood icon ever since that life was cut short when he passed away on November 7, 1980, succumbing to cancer at only 50. Steve McQueen and his contemporaries--Newman, Brando, Garner, Coburn, and others--for decades defined the genre of macho American actors.
McQueen biographer Penina Spiegel quotes Faye Dunaway as saying, "He's the misunderstood bad boy you're sure you can cure with a little warmth and some home cooking."
You don't need to be Ebert or Roper to notice that cars and motorcycles were a common, often elemental, recurring thread in McQueen's films. And his love of and affinity with all things mechanical was legitimate and genuine. The first notable sighting was the bike he rode in "The Great Escape." Remember the near-human relationship with a ship's steam engine he portrayed in "The Sand Pebbles"? Then there was the dune buggy--which he had built and drove--in the beach scenes with Dunaway in the original "The Thomas Crown Affair." Don't forget the cult motorcycle documentary, "On Any Sunday." Two films best demonstrate Steve McQueen's passion for cars: "Bullitt" (1968) and "Le Mans" (1971). There's not a car fool worth his driver's license who can't recount the iconic San Francisco chase scene between Lt. Frank Bullitt's grumbling green Mustang fastback and a pair of gun-wielding baddies in a black Dodge Charger. Fans have dissected it to the most minute detail, and McQueen drove the Mustang in all but a few of the toughest action sequences.
"Le Mans" was one of McQueen's pet projects, and this film also gave us insight into his pursuits in motorsport. It was his intent to produce a motion picture that captured the passion and pain of endurance racing with as much realism as possible. This meant on-location filming, before, during, and after the 1970 race, with McQueen at the wheel of a Gulf-liveried Porsche 917 as much as possible. The production was a disaster; filming ran long and ended up way over budget, directors came and went, and Steve's marriage to first wife Neile was coming unglued. But the film, like "Bullitt," has become a car-guy classic. "Le Mans" also was home to one of McQueen's more famous lines: "Racing is life. Anything that happens before or after is just waiting."
Steve McQueen possessed considerable driving talent. Maybe not enough to compete at the very highest levels, but, like Paul Newman, he could've enjoyed a solid career as a journeyman sports-car racer had he chosen to do so.
A clear example was his participation in the 1970 Sebring 12-hour enduro, teamed with Peter Revson in a fast and reliable, if somewhat dated, Porsche 908/2. Porsche's newest 917s fell by the wayside with mechanical difficulties, but the little 908 purred along, creeping up the leader board as the hours went by. It took no less than a flying Mario Andretti, driving a faster Ferrari 512, to catch and overhaul Revson for one of the closest finishes in Sebring history. Revson and McQueen finished a hard-earned second overall. Steve ran the race with one foot in a cast, the result of a recent motorcycle accident.
McQueen's earliest cars were MGs, but with success came the wherewithal to afford better--and faster--hardware: a Lotus 11, a 289 Cobra, Ferraris. There were Porsches and Packards, too. He owned dozens of cars, more than 100 motorcycles, and a few airplanes at the time of his passing. Among them was a 1957 Jaguar XKSS, chassis number XK.SS.713.
Jaguar was a dominant force in racing during the 1950s. Ferrari was already a major player, and on the right day, Aston Martin and Maserati got their licks in. Porsche's star was rising, too, but it was Coventry's fast, dependable, and downright beautiful XK120Ms, C-Types, and D-Types that commanded so many sports car and endurance races. Jaguars won the 24 Hours of Le Mans five times that decade, notching an {{{Audi R8}}}-like hat-trick in 1955, 1956, and 1957 (although the last two came courtesy of the privateer Ecurie Ecosse team), plus countless other professional and amateur victories in Europe and the United States.It's the D-Type that was, and remains, among the definitive front-engine sports racers of the era (not to mention having served as the design and engineering inspiration for the E-Type that followed in 1961). It was straightforward, yet technologically advanced for the time, powered by Jaguar's already legendary XK DOHC inline-six. Designed during late 1952 and 1953 and raced by the factory team from 1954 to 1956, the D-Type employed a unique chassis layout, which evolved considerably during the car's life. Everything aft of the firewall was a monocoque tub; everything forward of it was a tubular structure that held the engine, front suspension, and aluminum front-hinged hood. It's the rare race car that's both effective and beautiful, but the D-Type was one. This sensual form was the work of Jaguar designer and aerodynamicist Malcolm Sayer and the company's founder and patron saint William Lyons.
Steering was via rack and pinion, and Dunlop supplied the disc brakes and handsome alloy knock-off wheels. The suspension was conventional for the day, with upper/lower wishbones and torsion bars up front and a live axle and trailing links out back. Most factory D-Types were equipped with 3.4-liter XK engines wearing a trio of side-draft two-barrel carburetors and employing dry-sump oiling. The earliest were factory-rated at around 250 horsepower, and the engine was backed by Jaguar's own all-synchro four-speed transmission. Naturally, the D-Type evolved over the years: There were "long-nose" and "short-nose" body configurations, more power, and nearly all wore a prominent fin on the rear deck to improve high-speed straightline stability. It's a compact machine, too; at 154 inches long, a D-Type is more than an inch shorter than a current-generation Mazda Miata.
Jaguar built D-Types for its own racing endeavors, plus "customer cars" to be sold to privateer teams. In total, 67 such D-Types were constructed (plus the factory's own racers), and they competed into the early 1960s. But by the time the factory pulled out of racing after the 1956 season, the car was becoming dated as a front-line racer. For the 1958 sports-car racing season, 3.0-liter engines were mandated, and the D-Type's performance was hampered by the smaller displacement. Ferrari's Testa Rossa was much more powerful, and the factory Aston Martins were faster, too. Jaguar found itself stuck with 25 customer D-Types--and no customers.
It's not clear who first came up with the idea to convert them to street specs and sell them as limited-edition GTs, but that's what Jaguar did. A full-width windscreen was added up front, and just-adequate top and luggage rack were grafted onto the rear deck in place of the dorsal fin. Removable fixed pane side curtains were mounted to the doors. A vestigial exhaust system was devised, including a shield that only somewhat reduced the number of calves that were singed on the hot sidepipes. The lighting was converted to street spec, two upholstered seats were installed, a passenger side door and four corner bumperettes were added, and that was pretty much that.
A total of 16 XKSSs were built. At least two were later reconverted to D-Type racing configurations, and a few that were factory-finished as race cars were later transformed into XKSS-spec, or something similar. Whatever--shouldn't there have been 25? There would've been, had not a massive fire swept through the Jaguar factory in early 1957, destroying some of the company's work-in-process inventory--including the final nine D-Type/XKSSs. According to Jaguar historian Phil Porter, XKSS 713 (corresponding to D-Type chassis 569) was originally white with a red interior and was imported by Jaguar Cars North America in April 1957. In spite of the left-hand-drive destination, it was a right hooker. Its first owner was building contractor James Peterson, who lived in Altadena, California, and was involved in the construction of Riverside International Raceway. He soon sold the XKSS to local radio/TV personality Bill Leyden, who often parked it on a studio lot on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood, where Steve McQueen saw it for the first time. Accounts vary, but most agree that he bought the car in 1958. McQueen biographer Christopher Sandford cites a purchase price of $4000.
McQueen added his imprint to 713. He repainted the exterior a more discreet British Racing Green, although there are photos of him with it still wearing the lighter hue, so the color change's timing is unclear. SoCal drag racer/hot-rodder/upholsterer Tony Nancy restitched the interior in black leather. Pinstriper Von Dutch, one of McQueen's many car-culture cronies, fabricated a metal glovebox door to cover the previously open storage space in the dash, purportedly to keep McQueen's shades from flying out of the cubby while he was giving the Jag a hard thrash. It's said Steve loved to work on his cars and bikes, and numerous pictures exist showing him fettling the Jag, affectionately nicknamed the Green Rat.
Porter's book, "Jaguar Sports Racing Cars," notes that McQueen sold 713 to megacollector William F. Harrah in late 1967 (other sources say it was between then and 1970), under the premise that it remain on permanent display at his Harrah's Auto Collection in Reno. A decade later, McQueen wanted the car back, and after a two-year negotiation said to be sometimes friendly, sometimes less so, he repurchased it. He kept the XKSS until the day he died.
Steve McQueen's estate was liquidated throughout the early 1980s. In 1984, the XKSS was sold at auction to avid enthusiast Richard Freshman, who knew McQueen from his early Hollywood Hills days, for a reported $148,000. Freshman commissioned a high-quality, yet sympathetic restoration/preservation that was carried out by Lynx in England. He insisted that McQueen's modifications, such as the Tony Nancy leather job, remain intact and that the car be well-sorted for the road, not just for car-show duty.Freshman sold the car to Margie and Robert E. Petersen (patrons of the Petersen Automotive Museum and founders of Motor Trend) in 2000, in keeping with Petersen's penchant for collecting movie-star cars.
Mulholland Drive runs along the uppermost ridge of the Hollywood Hills and the eastern portion of the Santa Monica mountains. Depending on where you are on this storied street, you can look to the north to see Warner Brothers, Universal Studios, the Hollywood sign. Pan south, and seemingly all of Los Angeles, from downtown to the Pacific coastline, lies out in front of you like a giant ant farm. Mulholland (some stretches are named the Mulholland Highway) is a curvaceous ribbon of pavement that winds up, down, and around for miles--as any good mountain road should.
It's far from perfect for a good fast drive, however. Most areas are populated with homes, some with garage doors abutting the road, and there's little shoulder or room for error. Other stretches are less-developed, but, even then, it's a none-too-wide two-lane. Mulholland's pavement has been worn rough and grainy by decades of commuter traffic and suffers from too many poor patch jobs. It's here that McQueen, and sometimes a few pals, would take their cars out to play. Usually between midnight and 4 a.m.
It took only minutes to get from his home on Solar Drive (where he lived from 1960 until a move to nearby Brentwood in mid-1963, and which inspired the name of his film company, Solar Productions) to Mulholland. This is the same street where, a decade earlier, a young James Dean honed his budding driving skills. McQueen and friends terrorized Mulholland and its residents on and off for some 20 years, the XKSS being his weapon of choice for most of his midnight rides. Petersen Automotive Museum director Dick Messer, an L.A. native and one of the car's current caretakers, recalls: "I remember him driving this car a lot. People who lived up in the Hollywood Hills would hear the Jag coming and say 'Yep, there goes McQueen.' The Jag was his favorite." So it was here that we chose to drive and photograph 713, which first came to know this road more than four decades ago.Fitting my large frame into the XKSS's compact confines is a chore, but worth it. Nancy's neatly patterned leather interior has developed a rich patina and, save minor wear, remains in excellent condition. The wood and aluminum steering wheel sits close to the chest, and the large, classic Smiths speedo and tach are just to its left. A Miata's cabin feels palatial by comparison.
From this vantage point, you see curves everywhere: the small, tightly wrapped windshield; the roundness of the nose; most of all, those arching fenders that resemble feline and female body forms. Credit McQueen for repainting 713 such a rich color, which further accentuates the shapeliness of it all. The XKSS's skin appears stretched so tightly over the chassis that it fairly pings when you touch it.
The starter motor cranks hard against the XK's 12.0:1 compression ratio, but the engine lights with a serious bark out the left flank. The compact, side-exit exhaust system doesn't offer much muffling. Volumes of sounds pour out; a throaty, race-bred gurgle, like that of an expensive motorboat and one that could come only from a straight-six. McQueen would hold a cig and drape the steering wheel with his right hand and row the stubby, aluminum-knobbed shifter with his left. Be timid with the stick, and it's balky. Treat it with authority, and changing gears is like chambering a round in a handcrafted bolt-action rifle. The tach needle doesn't sweep across the dial; it snapclicks up and down in nervous 100- to 500-rpm increments in that characteristic way of early Smiths electric tachs.
Every driver input feels direct and mechanical. Mulholland's road surface feeds straight back through the wheel. The clutch is quick without being grabby, and there's plenty of torque on tap, so redline shifts aren't necessary. First gear is tall--good to over 60--yet second and third are spaced close to keep the growling six on the boil. Fourth is tall, too, as you'd expect of a gearbox designed for Le Mans's long Mulsanne straight. With around 300 horsepower from the blue-printed XK six on tap and an estimated weight of little more than 2000 pounds, the XKSS isn't quick; it's genuinely fast, even in today's terms. Five-second 0-to-60 times were positively exotic for 1957. The only control that disappoints is the brake pedal. There's plenty of stopping power available, but the pedal feels dead as a rock. Pushing it activates the Dunlop discs--heady tech back then--and the XKSS halts with minimal nosedive. Considering that this is a streetified race car, the ride quality is supple enough for long drives, even on Mulholland's mottled pavement. There are commendably few squeaks and rattles, the result of the car's structural integrity and the well-done restoration commissioned by previous owner Freshman. There's a vintage feel about 713, yet it doesn't seem like a near-50-year-old car.
As we roared through Mulholland's variety of curves and elevation changes, I tried to imagine the same scene, rolled back 30 or 40 years, with McQueen at the wheel, nipping some apexes and power-oversteering past others. We couldn't drive 713 as hard or fast as Steve did--it's a $2-2.5 million-dollar piece nowadays--but couldn't help snapping off crisp 1-2 shifts at about 5000 revs. Gas it, and the exhaust note hardens to a throaty blare, harmonized by a reedy intake noise from the sidedraft Webers. The pipes pop and spit when you let off the gas. Heat waves boil out of the hood vents. Intoxicating.
Local legend holds that at least one L.A. law-enforcement agency had promised its officers that an "expensive steak dinner" awaited the guy who could nail McQueen and the Jag with a speeding ticket. The tale continues that, while he was spotted often and even pursued a time or two, he was never caught and never written. The steak dinner went unclaimed. Another story refutes the entire affair, alleging that McQueen was so awash in speeding tickets he nearly lost his license.
Hooray for Hollywood.

Q: Check if Azure Queue exists using REST proxy (PHP) I'm trying to interact with an Azure Queue using a REST proxy courtesy of the Windows Azure SDK for PHP. Whilst there are plenty of code samples here, I want to check whether a queue exists so that I can create it if necessary, before adding a message to it.
try {
  // setup connection string for accessing queue storage
  $connectionString = 'DefaultEndpointsProtocol=' . PROTOCOL . ';AccountName=' . ACCOUNT_NAME . ';AccountKey=' . ACCOUNT_KEY;

  // create queue REST proxy
  $queueRestProxy = ServicesBuilder::getInstance()->createQueueService($connectionString);

  // create message
  $queueRestProxy->createMessage(QUEUE_NAME, 'Hello World!');

} catch(ServiceException $e){
  // Handle exception based on error codes and messages.
  // Error codes and messages are here:
  // http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsazure/dd179446.aspx
  $code = $e->getCode();
  $error_message = $e->getMessage();
  echo $code.": ".$error_message."
";
}

Creating a queue is as simple as this...
$queueRestProxy->createQueue(QUEUE_NAME);

Should I simply include the queue creation code prior to creating a message or is there a more efficient way to ascertain whether the queue exists before interacting with it?

A: Normally in other Windows Azure SDKs I have seen methods like createQueueIfNotExists and I'm surprised that this method is missing from PHP SDK. Basically the way this function works is that it tries to create a queue. If the queue by the same name exists in storage, storage service throws a Conflict (409) error.
Since this function is not there, you could do the same i.e. try to create the queue inside its own try/catch block and check the error code. If the error code is 409, you continue otherwise you rethrow the exception. Something like the code below:
try {
  // setup connection string for accessing queue storage
  $connectionString = 'DefaultEndpointsProtocol=' . PROTOCOL . ';AccountName=' . ACCOUNT_NAME . ';AccountKey=' . ACCOUNT_KEY;
    // create queue REST proxy
        $queueRestProxy = ServicesBuilder::getInstance()->createQueueService($connectionString);
  try {
    // now try to create the queue.
$queueRestProxy->createQueue(QUEUE_NAME);
  } catch(ServiceException $e){
    $code = $e->getCode();
    //Now check if the $code is 409 - Conflict. If the error code is indeed 409, you continue otherwise throw the error
  }
  // create message
  $queueRestProxy->createMessage(QUEUE_NAME, 'Hello World!');

} catch(ServiceException $e){
  // Handle exception based on error codes and messages.
  // Error codes and messages are here:
  // http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsazure/dd179446.aspx
  $code = $e->getCode();
  $error_message = $e->getMessage();
  echo $code.": ".$error_message."
";
}

P.S. I have not tried to execute the code, so it may throw errors. This is just to give you an idea.

A: I've posted an answer below for completeness and to make it easy for people to see the answer at a glance.

Should I simply include the queue creation code prior to creating a
  message or is there a more efficient way to ascertain whether the
  queue exists before interacting with it?

There are two ways to approach this...

*

*Include the createQueue statement prior to creating a message, but wrap this statement in a try-catch block as directed by Guarav Mantri's answer i.e. ignore 409 errors, but throw an exception for any other types of error.
For information, when you include a createQueue statement prior to creating a message...

*

*if a queue of the same name already exists and the metadata
associated with the existing queue is the same as that passed to the
createQueue statement then the queue will not be created and the
Queue REST Proxy will internally receive a 204 (No Content) status code, but this
response code is not made available to the programmer. So,
essentially, the createQueue statement doesn't cause an
error/exception to be raised in this scenario.

*if a queue of the same name already exists and the metadata
associated with the existing queue isn't the same as that passed
to the createQueue statement then the queue will not be created and
the Queue REST Proxy will receive a 409 (Conflict) status code and will raise an
exception which allows the programmer to access this response code and the associated QueueAlreadyExists message.
Source: Create Queue (REST API) - see Remarks section

*Create a queueExists function and call it to decide whether or not queue creation is necessary. Here is one way to implement such a function...
public function queueExists($queueRestProxy, $queueName) {
  $result = FALSE;
  $listQueuesResult = $queueRestProxy->listQueues();
  $queues = $listQueuesResult->getQueues();
  foreach($queues as $queue) {
    if ($queue->getName() === $queueName) {
      $result = TRUE;
      break;
    }
  }
  return $result;
}

Hope this helps someone!


I am super impressed with what I have been seeing lately. You know how when we were younger and I am talking mostly about we the millennial's; there were times when the Ankara was not our cup of tea In short I remember a period where I was supposed to attend a famous private school (not going to name drop) I had everything ready only for me to get to the day of Orientation and they cancelled my entrance – anyways basically my box was filled with grandmother ish type of Ankara styles – I was pissed and that definitely scarred my love for the fabric. Am glad my parents no longer have a choice in what I wear, they try but ultimately I get to make the decisions and I have decided that only the trendiest Ankara styles would be best for me.
Many might have stories like me but trust me, don't let those bogus and shapeless less creative pieces bother you anymore, now we have so many chic additions that you would find very interesting. I wasn't joking when I said only the trendiest Ankara styles would make it's way to my cupboard. Now that I have authority over my creative choice of wears I always want to share with you guys.
