About Yer Host
Canada, urbanism, etc.
David	CanCon, Personal, San Francisco, The Married Years, Urban	 3 April 2012 22 April 2012 2 Minutes
Several years ago, shortly after my 2009 trip to Toronto and several months before I got my current position, Mark and I applied for Canadian residence. This is not a simple process; it consumes significant amounts of time and money and it takes forever. Mark did most of the work, but I participated as well, and when our number came up, I decided that I would not let the events of the past eighteen months or so spoil my chance to establish residency and make Canada a future option. To do so after all that effort and expense seemed a colossal waste. So that's the "super secret" reason why I had to make a quick trip across the border last week. It was for purposes of "landing" as a Canadian immigrant. Which I have now successfully done.
Does this mean I'm moving to Canada? Probably not, at least for now. I basically have nearly three years to decide, and I imagine that my ultimate decision will be that my job prospects are insufficiently promising north of the border. Of course, if I don't make reappointment next year (the first step toward tenure) my perspective may be somewhat different and I may find myself packing lots of warm clothes.
All things being equal and employment not being a factor, I think I'd enjoy living in Toronto. It's a city that I love every much in a country that in many ways makes more sense than the U.S. Seven years after fleeing San Francisco, I've realized that I probably would enjoy a slightly more urban setting than the one I landed in. Sarah and I discussed this last week; she commented that her last few years in San Francisco turned her against urban living in general. I used to think that was the case for me too, but I've come to realize that it mainly just put me off ever wanting to live in San Francisco again.
But it helps to keep the following in mind:
I've never spent any time in Toronto in the winter. Or commuting.
I'm only willing to trade off so much quality of life in order to be there (read "I won't live in a hovel").
I have a very good and relatively secure job here that I love very much.
Honestly, I don't dislike where I'm living right now although I'll allow that it might not be my first choice if I were given carte blanche. I need to keep in mind that my depression has made me very much inclined toward escapism of late. Family issues are likely to make the next few years here rather unpleasant for me and that makes just about anyplace else seem appealing on some level. But I've got some personal stuff to deal with before a big geographic shift would be a wise move–assuming it ever would.
Anyhow, I'm not moving anytime soon, if ever. But the big bonus is that I can if I choose to. Which will give me some ammunition to shut up the whiny people who will be threatening to do so (but wouldn't really ever even consider it) after the November election.

In this wonderful time of the year when family and friends gather in good cheer to celebrate the holidays, nearly everyone has a number of lists. From greeting cards to shopping for gifts, decorations and more, lists are made and reviewed to keep pace with the barrage of seasonal activities.
But if holiday lists seem bigger than budgets, turning to a high-cost, small dollar loan can turn joy and merriment into a financial quagmire. The good news is that with a timely reality check, most consumers can avoid holiday financial nightmares.
A key step is to walk or drive past the brightly-colored signs advertising high-cost, small dollar loans. Both payday and car title loans can provide quick cash; but the harms caused by these loans create will likely linger past the winter's cold. Most importantly, these predatory loans often lead to consumers paying more in interest and fees than for the money borrowed.
Research by the Center for Responsible Lending (CRL) has found that predatory payday loans generate $3.5 billion in fees from repeat borrowers who are unable to fully repay the original loan, usually in two weeks' time. With average annual interest rates at 391 percent, 9 out of every 10 payday loans go to borrowers who get trapped in five or more loans per year.
Like payday loans, car title loans are often marketed as an easy way to get cash without a credit check – but with interest rates that tend to be 20-30 times higher than that of credit cards. The average car title loan of $500 can only be secured by signing a personally-owned car as collateral. Further, the loan will only be a fraction of the marketable value of the vehicle. While the lender holds on to a car title, the borrower is faced with triple-digit interest and in the worst cases, the loss of personal transportation.
As harmful as payday and car title loans are, other seemingly harmful small dollar transactions can also cause financial havoc.
If you believe pre-paid cards will always avoid financial rip-offs, think again. Before paying cash for this convenient form of plastic, read all of the fine print that explains the terms and fees that come with its usage. Terms and options can and do vary significantly. Many include a range of fees from activation, to learning your current balances, reloading monies and in some cases fees for inactivity. By the time all applicable fees are assessed, the amount of money actually available on that prepaid card can shrink and shortchange how far it can help on purchases.
Similarly, the convenience of debit cards can easily trigger overdraft charges for consumers with slim or no checking account cushions. By keeping track of receipts and balancing checkbooks, consumers using debit cards can usually limit or avoid overdraft fees. Failure to keep track of expenditures on the card can lead to multiple overdraft fees in a single billing cycle.
Worst of all, most consumers using their debit cards never realize the overdraft fees incurred until the next bank statement is received, weeks after the purchases were made. Depending upon your bank or credit union, overdraft fees vary in cost as well as an acceptable number to keep accounts open. Too many overdrafts can lead to involuntary account closures.
CRL research shows that although overdraft fees vary by institution, the average $35 overdraft fee on a debit card is double the amount of the overdraft itself. To date, at least 14 banks have been sued for changing the order of debit-card purchases to maximize fees.
This holiday season, try adding a full measure of practical sense to help your dollars preserve the spirit of the season and all of its celebrations.


"Best friends Dave and Julia were determined to never be cliche high school kids--the ones who sit at the same lunch table every day, dissecting the drama from homeroom and plotting their campaigns for prom king and queen. They even wrote their own Never List of everything they vowed they'd never, ever do in high school. Some of the rules have been easy to follow, like #5, never die your hair a color of the rainbow, or #7, never hook up with a teacher. But Dave has a secret: he's broken rule #8, never pine silently after someone for the entirety of high school. It's either that or break rule #10, never date your best friend. Dave has loved Julia for as long as he can remember. Julia is beautiful, wild and impetuous. So when she suggests they do every Never on the list, Dave is happy to play along. He even dyes his hair an unfortunate shade of green. It starts as a joke, but then a funny thing happens: Dave and Julia discover that by skipping the clichés, they've actually been missing out on high school. And maybe even on love.

Apparently, an Ingredient Found in McDonald's Fries Can Regrow Hair
Sophie Wirt · Feb 6, 2018
Hair loss is among one of the more serious aesthetic woes men and women deal with, and it's more prevalent than many of us might realize: according to the North American Hair Research Society, half of women aged 50 and older will experience some degree of female pattern hair loss. While bald can *certainly* be beautiful, scientists just discovered a promising ingredient that could help those who are fighting to hold onto their hair. And here's the kicker: if you're one of the millions of Americans who has been to McDonald's, you've probably eaten — yes, eaten — this ingredient.
Dimethylpolysiloxane (a type of silicone) is used as an anti-foaming agent in McDonald's fries — but it turns out that the stuff could be a golden ticket to regrowing hair! Scientists from the Yokohama National University discovered that the chemical compound can create hair follicles, which can then grow into actual, visible strands once it's been transferred. The study was conducted on mice, who grew some wiry-looking black hairs within days of follicle transplantation.
While the compound has yet to be tested on humans, the scientists are optimistic that the effects will translate. "This simple method is very robust and promising," study co-author Professor Junji Fukuda noted. "We hope that this technique will improve human hair regenerative therapy to treat hair loss such as androgenic alopecia."
While we're totally pro french fries, it's worth noting that eating more of the crispy golden goodies *probably* won't make your hair thicker (sorry, guys!). Nevertheless, we're excited to see how this discovery could possibly help millions of people regain their tresses.

SAVANNAH Marshall has swapped the chill winds of her beloved Hartlepool for the sunshine of Spain – but it's no holiday.
The boxing star is beginning the countdown to the 2016 Olympic Game in Rio de Janeiro.
It does not seem like five minutes ago that Marshall was crashing out of London 2012 after starting the tournament as reigning world champion and favourite for gold.
But the next games are exactly 15 months away – starting in Brazil on August 5, 2016.
Marshall starts her build-up in Spain this week when she represents her country at Boxam 2015.
The 24-year-old is on the comeback trail at the international tournament at Cartagena, near Alicante, coming back from her early World Championship exit in Korea and also from surgery on a hand injury.
Marshall will be warming up for the European Games next month in Baku, where the best athletes on the continent will be competing in 20 sports in the Azerbaijan capital.
The Headland ABC star will be going there looking to get on the medal podium and this week's competition in Spain will be vital to her preparations.
"It's crazy to think the Olympics are only 15 months away," Marshall told SportMail.
"The time has gone so quickly.
"I have done one Olympics and I'm only 24, so I think there are another two more Olympic cycles in me.
"I'm still learning all the time and I think I can get better.
"I would be 29 for the 2020 games and, if I am still up there [at the top], then I'd like to go for that too.
"But it's Rio which is my ambition and what I need to be build towards.
"The European Games are next month which look likes being a big tournament.
"My hand has healed, I've come through the rehab stage when I've been strengthening my forearm and wrists.
"I had been entered for the ABAs [last month] but that was too soon for me to be fighting again.
"But the extra couple of weeks has helped me and I'm ready for Spain.
Marshall has not fought since her elimination at the worlds last year.
It will be a big ask for her to come back and win gold straight away, given a five-month-plus inactivity.
But the former world number one has done it before.
After the disappointment of London 2012, Marshall went on a gold run, winning the European Union Championship, World Combat Games and then the Commonwealth Games.
"I was unbeaten in 14 fights before the worlds," she said. "It didn't come together for me there for whatever reason.
Marshall and her team-mates arrived in Spain last night.
The tournament will open today, with the weigh-in and draw this morning, with the preliminary round due to start at 5pm.
Boxam 2015 is due to conclude on Saturday.

Unlike its luxurious Caribbean neighbors, here you'll only find more budget-friendly hotels and guesthouses. Everything needs to come by ship or airplane, so it's not super cheap. However, since no non-natives can own property there is no influx of overdevelopment, keeping the island simple but beautiful. For a more rustic, non-touristy getaway, this might be the island for you!
We would love your help, we are a party of four 50 plus adults from Australia and never have been too the Greek Island. We're not sure whether we should be going to naxos or paros , we are there for 4 days and not sure whether just to stay on one island and ferry to the other and if you think possible even a day trip to santorini. Our priorities are culture and history, swimming in beautiful beaches, beautiful views, nice towns, and food and drink. We're not interested in clubbing at all, but more laid-back late night bars definitely appeal. This will be our one big holiday this year as we will be celebrating my 50th birthday while there so want it too be special.
During the era of decolonization, newly born Asian countries started to embrace air transport. Among the first Asian carriers during the era were Cathay Pacific of Hong Kong (founded in September 1946), Orient Airways (later Pakistan International Airlines; founded in October 1946), Air Ceylon (later SriLankan Airlines; founded in 1947), Malayan Airways Limited in 1947 (later Singapore and Malaysia Airlines), El Al in Israel in 1948, Garuda Indonesia in 1949, Japan Airlines in 1951, Thai Airways International in 1960, and Korean National Airlines in 1947.
Hi dave – very cool and informative site! We're a family of 6 (all adults) traveling to Greece for the first time…and most likely the last time. We'd like to visit some historic sites, but more interested in experiencing Greek life in small towns. Beaches and nightlife are not important. I'm looking to put together a balanced itinerary covering 10 days (11 nights) and had the following in mind:
Where to stay in Andros: Food stylist Allegra Pomilio hosts intimate cooking retreats at Melisses, her family's elegant villa overlooking the submerged ancient city of Paleopolis. Ktima Lemonies, an elegant estate surrounded by lemon and olive groves, is less than a mile from Hora but feels light years away. At Onar, an organic farm with a smattering of cottages overlooking Achla beach, you really are miles from anywhere.
Hi Dave. Thank you for your amazing website! We (30's / 40's couple – no kids) used your recommendations last year in September and visited Santorini (7days), Milos (3days) and Crete (12days) before spending 3 days in Athens. The trip was amazing and Greece is calling us to go back again this year! We have a conundrum which we are hoping you can assist (well, many of them really!)
Transport between them can be patchy, but a new service linking Zakynthos with Corfu which started this year now brings all the islands (bar Kythira) together. Zakynthos is otherwise linked to Kefallonia with an old-style open deck 'slipper' ferry; Kefallonia includes Ithaki on its local small ferry route to Nydri on Lefkada. There is no link (except for the new service) from Lefkada to Paxi/Corfu. Corfu has links to Paxi and its little know satellite islands just to the north. Kythira has an airport with flights to Athens and ferries to Crete (Kissamos) and the Peloponnese (Gythio, Kalamata, and Neapoli).
Islets of Proizd and Ošjak: Visit the islets of Proizd (a famous beach in the area) and Ošjak – two of the most visited destinations in the area. Proizd is a small island that can be reached by a small excursion boat featuring three beautiful beaches with turquoise waters, several walking trails and a small restaurant and cafe. A day trip to this island is highly recommended. Ošjak is known as the Love island because of its beautiful nature, peaceful surrounding, and tranquillity. Enjoy swimming in unspoiled waters, walking through a dense pine forest and exploring an interesting cave.
Service during the early 1920s was sporadic: most airlines at the time were focused on carrying bags of mail. In 1925, however, the Ford Motor Company bought out the Stout Aircraft Company and began construction of the all-metal Ford Trimotor, which became the first successful American airliner. With a 12-passenger capacity, the Trimotor made passenger service potentially profitable.[29] Air service was seen as a supplement to rail service in the American transportation network.
Growth rates are not consistent in all regions, but countries with a de-regulated airline industry have more competition and greater pricing freedom. This results in lower fares and sometimes dramatic spurts in traffic growth. The U.S., Australia, Canada, Japan, Brazil, India and other markets exhibit this trend. The industry has been observed to be cyclical in its financial performance. Four or five years of poor earnings precede five or six years of improvement. But profitability even in the good years is generally low, in the range of 2–3% net profit after interest and tax. In times of profit, airlines lease new generations of airplanes and upgrade services in response to higher demand. Since 1980, the industry has not earned back the cost of capital during the best of times. Conversely, in bad times losses can be dramatically worse. Warren Buffett in 1999 said "the money that had been made since the dawn of aviation by all of this country's airline companies was zero. Absolutely zero."[88]
Located in the Caribbean Sea, this Dutch-owned island is perfect. Voted one of the best in the Caribbean, Curacao is like being in tropical Holland. The town is built in the Dutch style, but the surrounding areas are all tropical. Hit the beaches, lay in the sun, and party the night away. This may not be Gilligan's Island, but what it lacks in privacy, it makes up for in romance and fun.
It's a tough call. The good news is that whatever you decide, it will feel like the right thing after you've done it. You'll almost certainly say to yourself, "I'm so glad we saw both islands" or "I'm so glad we had 6 full days on Santorini." In deciding I would ask whether a return trip to Greece is likely or possible in the next couple of years. If so, then spend your 6 days on Santorini and explore that island, then return to Crete at some time in the future for a deserving 7 to 10 days. But if this is a one-time deal for the foreseeable future then do 3 days on Santorini and 3 days in Crete. (Whatever you decide don't do a day trip to the other island as it's not worth the time and effort.)
Hi everyone.Went back home (seychelles)for 7 weeks,it was amazing!Just the island way of life(no stress),the weather,the families,creole food especially the fresh fish and of course the beautiful beaches with amazing sceneries.You need to get off the main road sometimes to see the secluded beaches,Some beaches can be seen while driving.My favourite is ANSE ROYALE where i grew up,ANSE PARNEL,PETITE ANSE,ANSE COPRA,ANSE TAKAMAKA,L'INTENDANCE,AND OF COURSE PORT LAUNAY.I also went on PRASLIN AND LA DIGUE ISLAND(WOW)it blew me away.I left seychelles at 17,missed so much,one thing for sure i will be back(hopefully for good one day)THANK YOU
I'm traveling to Greece for the first time, and I'm so fortunate to be staying for about 9 weeks (peak season, unfortunately, I'm an educator and it's summer!). I have ample time planned in Athens, and the Peloponnese (with rental car). Here's where I need some help and suggestions. I have 5 weeks saved for the islands and I'm still trying to figure out how to spend them. I'm not sure if I'd like to cover just a few islands and soak them in a bit deeper with longer stays…or to travel at a quicker pace covering several islands in each main area (the Cyclades, Ionians, Crete-Rhodes Dodecanese, Eastern Islands) I'm an easy traveler and enjoy diversity. I crave spending time with locals and interacting with families – home stays at times, I enjoy the water and I'm an avid diver, I like hiking and exploring. Also, want to perhaps relax a bit – food/wine tasting welcomed). I'm excited about the trip and my ideas are racing all over. Do you have some ideas and suggestions to share? A rough sketch itinerary for Greece? Thanks so much!

Hey, sailors: In May, the 35th annual America's Cup heads to the pink-sand beaches of the Great Sound, a prime time for racing enthusiasts. The event's official hotel partner, The Hamilton Princess & Beach Club, transformed its "pink palace" with new guests suites, exhale spa, a state-of-the-art marina and three new restaurants including celebrity chef Marcus Samuelsson's new venue, Marcus'. The upcoming Ritz-Carlton Reserve hotel and branded residences plan to open a mega-yacht marina in time for the race, but keep this island on your long-term radar: Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta Jones break ground on the redevelopment of the famed Ariel Sands resort in 2017.
The other groups are best tackled individually. For example, the Ionians have no ferry connections to the rest of the Greek islands; the same story with the Sporades and the Argo-Saronics. The NE Aegean islands do have a link to the Dodecanese and the Cyclades but are probably best left for another trip once you have got the feel of the rhythm of the Greek islands.
Of the above groups the Dodecanese probably constitute the best opportunity to mix islands between groups. You could, for example, take the Blue Star Ferries and map an island-hopping route that essentially heads in the same direction. In this way you could take in some of the Cyclades – Syros, Mykonos, Patmos, Naxos and some of the Dodecanese – Patmos, Leros, Kos, Chalki, and Rhodes – without any backtracking. Hellenic Seaways is another major ferry company whose routes you may want to explore.
Although Philippine Airlines (PAL) was officially founded on February 26, 1941, its license to operate as an airliner was derived from merged Philippine Aerial Taxi Company (PATCO) established by mining magnate Emmanuel N. Bachrach on December 3, 1930, making it Asia's oldest scheduled carrier still in operation.[52] Commercial air service commenced three weeks later from Manila to Baguio, making it Asia's first airline route. Bachrach's death in 1937 paved the way for its eventual merger with Philippine Airlines in March 1941 and made it Asia's oldest airline. It is also the oldest airline in Asia still operating under its current name.[53] Bachrach's majority share in PATCO was bought by beer magnate Andres R. Soriano in 1939 upon the advice of General Douglas MacArthur and later merged with newly formed Philippine Airlines with PAL as the surviving entity. Soriano has controlling interest in both airlines before the merger. PAL restarted service on March 15, 1941, with a single Beech Model 18 NPC-54 aircraft, which started its daily services between Manila (from Nielson Field) and Baguio, later to expand with larger aircraft such as the DC-3 and Vickers Viscount.
The sleeper hit of the Cyclades, Serifos is the summer retreat of interior designers and architects who prefer to keep the sandy beaches to themselves. (One French home-owner is so protective of her hideaway that she tells all her friends she summers on nearby Sifnos.) Even in August, you'll find coves where you can skinny dip in blissful solitude. That's because the best beaches (Kalo Ambeli, Vagia, Skala) are only accessible via bone-rattling dirt roads or donkey tracks. Better still, rent a motor boat from the laidback harbour, Livada. Make sure to moor outside Anna's taverna on Sikamia beach for freshly caught fish and garden-grown salads.
On Syros, capital of the Cyclades, you won't find sugar-cube villages and whitewashed lanes. The colourful 19th-century city of Ermoupoli is built on twin peaks – one Orthodox, the other Catholic, the heritage of a long Venetian occupation. There's still a strong Italian flavour in Ermoupoli's marble piazzas, princely mansions, and miniature replica of La Scala, the showpiece of a year-round cultural scene. Syros hosts festivals of animation, dance, digital art, film, classical music, jazz and rembetiko, the Greek blues popularised by local musician Markos Vamvakaris. A few rembetiko joints have survived in the upper town, Ano Syra.
DELAG, Deutsche Luftschiffahrts-Aktiengesellschaft I was the world's first airline.[1] It was founded on November 16, 1909, with government assistance, and operated airships manufactured by The Zeppelin Corporation. Its headquarters were in Frankfurt. The first fixed wing scheduled airline was started on January 1, 1914, from St. Petersburg, Florida, to Tampa, Florida.[2] The four oldest non-dirigible airlines that still exist are Netherlands' KLM (1919),[3] Colombia's Avianca (1919),[4] Australia's Qantas (1921),[5] and the Czech Republic's Czech Airlines (1923).[6]
The United States, Australia, and to a lesser extent Brazil, Mexico, India, the United Kingdom, and Japan have "deregulated" their airlines. In the past, these governments dictated airfares, route networks, and other operational requirements for each airline. Since deregulation, airlines have been largely free to negotiate their own operating arrangements with different airports, enter and exit routes easily, and to levy airfares and supply flights according to market demand. The entry barriers for new airlines are lower in a deregulated market, and so the U.S. has seen hundreds of airlines start up (sometimes for only a brief operating period). This has produced far greater competition than before deregulation in most markets. The added competition, together with pricing freedom, means that new entrants often take market share with highly reduced rates that, to a limited degree, full service airlines must match. This is a major constraint on profitability for established carriers, which tend to have a higher cost base.
Airlines have substantial fixed and operating costs to establish and maintain air services: labor, fuel, airplanes, engines, spares and parts, IT services and networks, airport equipment, airport handling services, booking commissions, advertising, catering, training, aviation insurance and other costs. Thus all but a small percentage of the income from ticket sales is paid out to a wide variety of external providers or internal cost centers.
The state appears on many travel hot lists for 2017, especially thanks to Georgia's quirky, craggy coast that threads throughout a chain of barrier islands — the most idyllic of which may be at the private resort community of Sea Island, with its five-mile stretch of coastline. Historic Mediterranean-style hotel The Cloister recently added 63 rooms, making it the perfect home base for spa-going, golf and even seeing the sea turtles nest.
My husband, another couple, and I are planning a trip to Greece in September 2017. We are staying in Milos for a few nights and were planning on staying at Melian Hotel and Spa….do you know anything about this hotel? I was worried about proximity to things, but it looks like no matter what, we are going to need to rent a car or use the bus system to get around. It seemed though that Melian had 6 or 7 restaurant options within walking distance. Also, any ideas or tips on things to do, see, or go?? We plan to do one of those semi private sailing tours, but other than that we are an open book. Thanks so much for any input!
A limestone spike rising dramatically from the emerald waters of Phang Nga Bay, James Bond Island (Koh Tapu — Nail Island in Thai) earned its moniker from appearing in two 007 movies: The Man with the Golden Gun (1974) and Tomorrow Never Dies (1997). Excursions depart from the popular resort areas of Phuket, Khao Lak and Krabi on photogenic longtail boats. On the tour, explore secret lagoons, craggy sea caves and a floating village.
Zakynthos, or Zante, has shrugged off its reputation as a destination for lads on tour (as long as you avoid Lagana and the built-up south coast) by rebranding itself as Greece's greenest island. It's not just the emerald hills sliding into the electric blue Ionian: much of the south coast is a nature reserve where endangered loggerhead turtles hatch in the sand. The turtle beaches are off limits, but there are countless coves in every hue of green and blue. Favourites are tiny Xigia, with its bubbling underwater springs, and craggy Porto Limnionas, with sunbeds wedged between the rocks and palm-frond umbrellas positioned between the pine trees. Skinari is the starting point for boat trips to the most famous landmarks, the Blue Caves and Shipwreck Beach, where a rusting liner leans into the chalky cliffs. From Keri, you can cast away for Marathonisi island, another turtle sanctuary.
Naxiots once made considerable fortunes exporting potatoes, cheese, marble and emery. Locals bequeathed undesirable seaside plots - useless for farming - to their laziest offspring. When tourists cottoned on to the island's scores of fabulous beaches, these wastrels found themselves sitting on gold mines. The west coast of Naxos is fringed with mile upon mile of powdery sands. Agios Prokopios and Agia Anna delight toddlers and teenagers alike with their shallow waters and beach bars. As you head south, the beaches get wilder: Plaka, where you can gallop across the dunes on horseback, Mikri Vigla for windsurfing and kitesurfing, and crystal-clear Kastraki.
In 1926, Alan Cobham surveyed a flight route from the UK to Cape Town, South Africa, following this up with another proving flight to Melbourne, Australia. Other routes to British India and the Far East were also charted and demonstrated at this time. Regular services to Cairo and Basra began in 1927 and were extended to Karachi in 1929. The London-Australia service was inaugurated in 1932 with the Handley Page HP 42 airliners. Further services were opened up to Calcutta, Rangoon, Singapore, Brisbane and Hong Kong passengers departed London on 14 March 1936 following the establishment of a branch from Penang to Hong Kong.

Is The Media Too Tough On Pols?
Following up on Chait's post about media figures and bygone eras, I thought this was an interesting bit in an interview Boston Magazine's James Burnett recently did with Mike Barnicle. Barnicle says:
Something has happened slowly of the course of 25-30 years to diminish the industry, if you will, of politics. It's no longer the profession that it used to be. You'd have to be out of your mind to run for public office today. Say you're 32, 35 years of age. Say you were fortunate, you lucked out, you made a little money, or maybe not, but you have this great interest in public service. You want to be able to get a fire hydrant or a crosswalk, or a little league field in your neighborhood. So you run for City Council or State Rep., you know, but then two or three months over the course of your campaign or maybe after you win, someone like me, or someone like you, is going to come knock at your door, and say "James, we heard you smoked a joint when you were 19 years of age down at Duke University. Can you explain that?" And instead of having the wherewithal to tell people like us, "Hey, go fuck yourself, it's none of your business," you know, these poor people stand there and get hounded by us.
So I've got to assume there are a lot of other people out there with reasonable IQs who say, "I don't want any part of that. I don't want my kids reading about me in the front page of the paper that I smoked a joint when I was at Duke University. What has that got to do with anything?"
I think this might have been the case, oh, a decade ago, but I don't think it's the case today--certainly not after the election of Obama, whose admission of cocaine use as a teen didn't bring him any grief from reporters (save for one from the NYT, who accused Obama of exaggerating his drug use). Indeed, the private foibles the press seems to hound pols for these days tend to be of the more sexual (and, crucially, recent) variety, whether it's David Vitter's prostitute problem or Larry Craig's foot-tapping; or for failings that are more public than private, such as Blago. All in all, I'd say the press is actually doing a pretty good job these days of hounding politicians for things they should be hounded for.

Schizophrenia is a serious mental illness that significantly lessens health-related quality of life (HRQoL). A better understanding of HRQoL is needed to inform holistic and patient-centered treatments for schizophrenia. The purpose of this dissertation is to conduct an in-depth exploration of HRQoL in people with schizophrenia. The dissertation includes three components. The first component is an integrative literature review aimed at identifying factors associated with physical quality of life (QoL) in people with schizophrenia. The review reveals that symptoms of schizophrenia, depression, obesity or body mass index, and physical activity are associated with physical QoL in this population. The second and third components are based on illness narratives of 20 people with schizophrenia who had participated in a larger study of individuals diagnosed with serious mental illness. The second component of the dissertation is a qualitative descriptive study conducted to describe common HRQoL concerns in people with schizophrenia. The results indicate that these concerns were related to social relationships, psychiatric symptoms, psychiatric care, and employment. The third component of the dissertation is a parallel convergent mixed-methods study conducted to explore whether computerized lexical analysis (CLA) of illness narratives of people with schizophrenia can reveal their HRQoL concerns. CLA is an automatized process that counts words in text data and sorts them into pre-defined word categories. The results provide preliminary support for the potential use of CLA to efficiently assess HRQoL in people with schizophrenia as the CLA identified some of the HRQoL concerns that had been identified in the prior qualitative descriptive study. The results of the three studies reveal the complexity of the phenomenon of HRQoL in people with schizophrenia and can inform the development of strategies to identify and promote HRQoL in this population.

Baume & Mercier Clifton Collection has finally received its Tourbillon model at the Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie (SIHH) in Geneva. The new Clifton Flying Tourbillon watch commemorates one year since the introduction of the Clifton collection at the last year's SIHH.
This novelty was inspired by a Baume & Co. Tourbillon pocket watch presented by Alcide Baume in 1892 at the Kew Observatory in England. This historic watch won with the remarkable score of 91.9 percent. With this amazing result, it remained the world's most precise timepiece for 10 years.
Baume & Mercier Clifton Flying Tourbillon Watch is powered with the caliber P591 manually wound movement with the flying tourbillon. The impeccable mechanism features retrograde date and power reserve. It is capable to store enough power to keep the watch ticking for at least 50 hours. The Swiss-made movement oscillates at the rapid frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz).
The movement's finish is of the highest quality, with a winding ratchet wheel inspired by those on traditional pocketwatches, as well as with Côtes de Genève decorations on the bridges, beading on the main plate and traditional finishes of the various parts – all crafted by the same watchmaker. All these interesting components are visible through the wide transparent sapphire glass case back.
Clifton Flying Tourbillon Watch is housed in a round 18-karat rose gold featuring curved lugs and "chevee" shaped glass. The elegant case measures 45.5mm in diameter and incorporates a thin bezel and a screw-in crown.
Underneath the front sapphire glass there is a beautiful silver dial with riveted 18kt red gold numerals and appliqués. A flying tourbillon carriage that rotates once per minute is placed at the 9 o'clock position, while a small seconds sub-dial is placed at the 6 o'clock position.
The watch is secured to the wearer's wrist with a black, hand-sewn alligator leather strap, fitted with a rose gold buckle. This amazing timepiece is produced in ultra limited quantity of only 30 specimens. The retail price is $59,000.


Not sure which home video game device you want? We help you break down your options.
For video game fans, this is the most wonderful time of the year.
By mid-November, the biggest video games have reached store shelves and digital store fronts. And with Black Friday approaching, there are plenty of deals on both games and hardware to go around.
The holidays are equally critical to the video game business, which is expected to generate $7.5 billion in retail and online console game sales this year, according to consulting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers.
. "It should be a very good holiday for video game sales," said NPD Group analyst Mat Piscatella.
For video game players who have yet to make the leap, or for parents and loved ones in search of gamer gifts, the big question is: What game console should I choose?
The standard model costs $299.99, while the PS4 Pro model costs $399.99.
Why should I choose this console?
Although the overwhelming majority of top console games are available across multiple platforms, PlayStation still hosts a diverse selection of titles strictly for its console, ranging from fantasy to racing games. Plus, for baseball fans, it's the only one with a true official baseball simulation in its MLB: The Show series. Both models support HDR (high-dynamic range) and let you use PlayStation VR, which is currently the most affordable high-end option for virtual reality.
On Pro models, you gain improved 4K resolutions on games and streaming apps such as Netflix. There's also access to PlayStation Vue, Sony's over-the-top streaming TV service, available for a monthly subscription. It also supports other entertainment apps including Amazon Video and Hulu, as well as monthly subscription service PlayStation Now, where players can enjoy older games.
More: Many Black Friday deals are closeouts or just $10 off. These are the real steals.
I'm buying this for my kids. How are the parental controls?
Users can restrict the types of games based on age. PS4 separates them by level. For example, the maximum Level 9 is for players 18 and older, while Level 5 applies to players age 13 and up. When a level is chosen, it will only play games with the appropriate ratings. So, for Level 5, it can play anything rated Teen and below. You can also set age levels for the use of Blu-ray Discs or DVDs, as well as restrict access to the Internet browser or PlayStation VR. Accounts are guarded with a four-digit passcode.
The Xbox One S starts at $249.99, while the Xbox One X starts at $499.99.
You can play a lot of the same games you can on a PS4, but at a lower price. Another key advantage: both models support 4K video streaming and 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray Discs. If you choose to bump up to the X, you get 4K gaming as well as a more powerful device that will load games faster. Xbox supports many of the same entertainment apps such as Netflix and Hulu, as well as exclusives like the NFL. (Amazon Video is in the works.)Owners of Xbox 360 and original Xbox titles can play their older games, whether they bought them digitally or still have them on disc. Xbox also has its own subscription games service, Game Pass, for older titles.
Owners can restrict the types of games, music, apps and videos that stream through the Xbox One based on ratings. There are two options for filtering the console's browser: allowing basic communication and blocking all adult sites, or limiting surfing to only sites added by parents. Owners can also limit what kids can download from the Xbox store, whether it's just free apps and games only, or nothing at all.
It is like having a home and mobile console in one device. The Switch docks into a charging station connected to your television. Users can pop out the tablet-like device and play it like a handheld, with its two Joy-con controllers at the sides. Users can also remove the controllers and prop up the Switch using a kickstand in tabletop mode. Plus, as with other Nintendo devices, Switch is more family-friendly.
Of the three, Switch has the best features for parents, highlighted by a mobile app for iOS and Android. In the app, parents can set the types of game their kids can play, and if or when they can communicate with other players. Where Switch dominates its peers is the option to set timers to limit how long your kids can play, along with summaries of their activity.


Bright red cherry and apricot at first before giving way to deeper notes of coffee grounds, salted caramel, and pipe tobacco. Bold red berries and figs give way to a touch of spearmint and sweet brown sugar on the palate. A stunning Bourbon indeed.


VL Deck Supplies Us With "Project Music"
After releasing his new single "Bargain" last week, Atlanta's VL Deck is here with his newest mixtape presented by DatPiff.
"Project Music Vol 1" features six new cuts and assistance from close ATL collaborators, Young Thug and Young Scooter, as well as Shy Glizzy.

Q: Is it possible to use statistics value as a build parameter? I'm adding build feature VCS labeling. Can I refer to statistics values in labeling pattern? Something like
build-%system.build.number%-passed-%PassedTestCount%-failed-%FailedTestCount%

If not can I pass statistics values to build parameters somehow?
Update
For some reason REST API request
http://teamcity:8111/httpAuth/app/rest/builds/id:$buildId/statistics/

doesn't return most of values during build. I had to use request for tests info. Here is powershell script:
$buildId=%teamcity.build.id%
$userId="%system.teamcity.auth.userId%"
$password="%system.teamcity.auth.password%"

$ApiCredentials_ForHeader = $userId + ":" + $password
$ApiCredentialsBase64 = [System.Convert]::ToBase64String(
    [System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8.GetBytes($ApiCredentials_ForHeader))
$ApiCredentialsHeader = @{}
$ApiCredentialsHeader.Add("Authorization", "Basic $ApiCredentialsBase64")

$testsUrl = "http://teamcity:8111/httpAuth/app/rest/testOccurrences?locator=build:(id:$buildId),count:10000"

$response = [xml](Invoke-WebRequest $testsUrl -Headers $ApiCredentialsHeader)

$PassedTestCount = @($response.testOccurrences.testOccurrence | ? { $_.status -eq "SUCCESS" }).count
$FailedTestCount = @($response.testOccurrences.testOccurrence | ? { $_.status -eq "FAILURE" }).count

Write-Host "##teamcity[setParameter name='PassedTestCount' value='$PassedTestCount']"
Write-Host "##teamcity[setParameter name='FailedTestCount' value='$FailedTestCount']"

This solves my problem but doesn't answer question.

A: If one of you build steps is a PowerShell(or another similar)script you can use TeamCity API to get statistics. Discussed here.

Brunei Government
The government of Brunei can be classed as an absolute monarchy in which the Sultan of Brunei is the head of state as well as the head of government. The Sultan is advised by five councils, and they are the Council of Ministers, Council of Succession, Legislative Council, Privy Council, and the Religious Council. The Legislative Council has 36 appointed members who hold advisory or consultative roles without the power to create or enforce legislation. The political philosophy is known by the people of Brunei as the Malay Islamic Monarchy.
Under the Constitution of Brunei of 1959, there was a legislative council that was elected, but only one election after this has ever been held in the country, and that was in 1965. The nation has technically been under martial law since the early 1960s when an uprising occurred that was put down by British troops. The state of martial law in Brunei has allowed the Sultan to appoint legislative councillors directly since 1970 and no elections have taken place in the country since 1965. In 2004, the Sultan announced that 15 seats of the Legislative Council would be elected by the people of the nation but no election date has ever been set.
The Legislative Council building is located in Bandar Seri Begawan near Jalan Menteri Besar Recreational Park. Absolute power to enact new legislation is held by the Sultan who will decide whether or not a bill will be passed into law. The official residence of the Sultan of Brunei is known as Istana Nurul Iman, the largest residential palace in the world, and it cost over US$1.5 billion to construct.
Political parties who legally exist in Brunei include the Brunei National Solidarity Party, Brunei People's Awareness Party, and the National Development Party.

Clay Tips and Tricks
ClayBasham.com
Forewarned is Fair Armed
August 23, 2016 November 29, 2022 S Dating Clay
Relationship Phases of the Narcissistic Sociopath:
Photo acquired via the Tinder ™ app
Part 3: The Discard Phase
Facts from the Discarding Phase:
Throughout our relationship, Michael "Clay" Basham, borrowed about $5,000.00 cash.
On top of cash loans, I paid for about 99.9% of everything in my relationship with Michael "Clay" Basham.
My first loan to Michael "Clay" Basham was under the pretense that he was working with juvenile youth.
Michael "Clay" Basham lied to me about his employment when we started dating, saying that he worked with juvenile youth at the time. He told my friends this as well.
Michael "Clay" Basham, actually worked part time as a bug sprayer as his only form of employment.
I paid for almost everything, because Michael "Clay" Basham and I had agreed that he would would be paying for everything when he got settled in his job.
I had cash from a settlement. When the money ran out, so did Michael "Clay" Basham, leaving me in dire financial straights.
Michael "Clay" Basham paid about $600 towards his debt to me, but stopped paying me back around the time he got remarried.
Michael "Clay" Basham owes me $4,400.00 as well as the money I spent supporting him and paying for everything during our relationship.
Opinions & Reflections:
Michael "Clay" Basham lied to me and told me he was working with juvenile youth when we first met in addition to working as a bug sprayer. When he called me at the beginning of us dating, saying he was about to cry, my heart bled for him. He told me that the people that fixed his car when he was living in Chicago, Illinois took a payment out of his account before they were supposed to. Consequently, it over drew his account. Thinking he had a two jobs, and was doing great things for the community, I lent him $800.00 to float him for the weekend while he figured things out with the mechanics.
Over a week went by, and Michael "Clay" Basham hadn't mentioned a thing. So, I asked about it. He told me that the withdrawal was indeed the company that fixed his car and that he couldn't do anything about it, but he would pay me back. This was just the beginning of what turned into a borrowing spree, that despite my increasing stress over rapidly running out of money, he mercilessly borrowed more and more. He would give me sob stories as to why he needed more and more money, usually relating to his car or his children.
I finally learned that Clay wasn't actually working with juvenile youth, but merely a part time bug sprayer. At this point, we were falling in love, so the fact that he said that he used to and was looking for a new one, was good enough for me. Soon thereafter, he was in between residences and needed to stay with me for what was supposed to be only one week. Right after he loaded my house with his belongings, he informed me that he had quit his job, because "it wasn't worth it to drive all the way to Mesa". I couldn't believe that he would move into my home, not having any money and not having another job. But, it was too late.
He had moved in Sept 30, and one week tuned into a few. Don't get me wrong, I was all about Team Basham. I was caught in his web, and didn't want him to go anywhere. When his truck broke down, I was there to help him and paid for it to get repaired. But, alas, he did move out and eventually started working at Costco as a seasonal employee. This is where the idealization phase turned to the Devaluation Phase. It was right around Halloween.
By this point, he was indebted to me thousands of dollars, and we had only been dating for a couple of months. We were already talking about the future. and he had told me that he was going to "love me forever," so I figured we had become a team. I was paying for everything including all meals. Even when he had moved out, he was at my house most of the time where I fed him, making his breakfast, lunches for work and dinner. We had discussed that when he was on his feet, he would take on the expenses since I was quickly running out of money.
Once he had a place to retreat to, he slowly started disappearing for days at a time in the manner of my post about the Devaluation Phase. Then, around January, I was broke, and Michael "Clay" Basham still hadn't attempted to pay me back. He kept promising, but nothing. Finally, we made a payment plan, but he'd frequently miss the payments leaving me, my daughter and my bills, high and dry.
When I ran out of money, and he finally started working with juvenile youth again, the discard phase was in full force. He would say he was coming over, then disappear for days, not responding to my calls or texts. Our relationship finally ended in the middle of March, when I caught him online dating again, even though he was still sleeping with me. The last payment I received, was April 29th, 2016, with a hefty balance remaining. I assume he stopped paying me because he remarried. He always did have an excuse why he couldn't pay. Now, I will have to rely on the legal system…
PS See you next Tuesday!

Discard is right. I came across your site after the creep in question looked me up on FB. I am not surprised by your experience. I was a friend and can somewhat relate to what you went thru. Unfortunately the internet wasn't available to me in the early 90's, otherwise I may have followed suit and warned potential victims but he was long gone before the internet became popular and after my money ran out among other things. Bottom line you are accurate in your assessment (can't speak about the sex part thank God) and I am sorry you every got tangled up with this clown.
You are providing a great service forewarning potential victims about this person because he is not what he portrays to people as we have both discovered.

Thank you so much for validating this site. I'm so sorry that you had to deal with him as well. At what point does Clay realize that he's a parasite? I have heard many stories since starting this, and he has a huge body count in his aftermath. I can't believe he's still going! I hope this has helped someone.
