Matthew Wright hasn't been sacked by talkRADIO
PersonalitiesRadio
Published on December 4, 2019 - 6:29 pm
Last night the Mail published a story saying that Matthew Wright had been sacked by talkRADIO, but he appeared as normal on his show today and explained that it wasn't the case. The paper later published a follow up article.
During the opening few minutes of his radio show on Wednesday afternoon, Matthew confirmed he hadn't been sacked and in fact had just had his contract renewed, even though he was expecting to leave at the end of this year.
Speaking on-air to his co-host Kevin O'Sullivan, Wright said: "It was all a bit chaotic last night, I turn up for work today as I was expected to do and guess what happened.
"We were told we were going to be signing new contracts. So, we've not been fired with immediate effect. We're not going our separate ways as I thought might happen at Christmas.
"We're here into the new year and maybe even beyond."
He also explained that it wasn't true that he'd had "run-ins" with his producers and talked about the stress presenting his Channel 5 TV show had caused him.
Referring to staying with talkRADIO he joked that listeners should make the most of it because, "we could be dragged out of here at a moment's notice," he said.
In a tweet after the show, Matthew said: Thanks again for all the kind words – I've had a tough time with my mental health these past 18mths. I was expecting to leave Talkradio (sic) at end of Xmas but they'd like me and @TVKev to stay on longer now – thanks again."
Thanks again for all the kind words – I've had a tough time with my mental health these past 18mths 🥰. I was expecting to leave Talkradio at end of Xmas but they'd like me and @TVKev to stay on longer now – thanks again 🥰🥰

Owners of talkRADIO, NewsUK, were rumoured to be considering replacing talkRADIO with Times Radio, but a spokesperson confirmed to RadioToday that no decisions have been made on the outcome of the collaboration to see how the radio station and the newspaper can work more closely, adding: "We are exploring ways to work more closely with The Times across the station,"

Costco Agrees to $3.85 Million Civil Penalty for Failure to Report, Accepted by Unanimous CPSC Vote
On Friday, October 5, 2018, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission ("CPSC") announced that Costco Wholesale, Corp. (Costco) entered into a settlement agreement with the CPSC to pay a $3.85 million civil penalty for its alleged failure to report defective trash cans. The penalty agreement was accepted 4-0 by the Commission. Notably, this is the first multi-million dollar civil penalty in the post-CPSIA era where there was not a Democratic majority at the CPSC, indicating that penalty actions are far from moribund under the current leadership.
The Commission alleged that between December 2013 and May 2015, Costco sold approximately 367,000 EKO Sensible Eco Living Trash Cans at its stores. The trash cans had a black plastic protective collar in the opening on the back of the can that, according to the Commission, could become dislodged and expose a sharp metal edge, leading to a laceration hazard to consumers. The Commission concluded Costco, after receiving 92 complaints about the trash can in the two years it sold it, including 60 complaints from consumers who alleged injuries, had information which reasonably supported the conclusion the trash can was defective. The trash can was recalled on July 17, 2015.
In its response to the civil penalty in the Agreement, Costco stated in December 2014, that its Product Safety Committee examined an exemplar product and determined the black plastic protective collar could not be removed easily. Then, in May 2015, after receiving additional reported incidents, it learned the vendor had made a design change to prevent the black plastic protective collar around the opening from coming loose. Unbeknownst to the Company, Costco also learned the exemplar it received and tested in 2014 actually incorporated the modified protective collar. Consequently, Costco asserted it did not knowingly violate the CPSA as that term is defined in the statute. Costco's defense is illustrative of the issues consumer product companies face with suppliers, including the testing of a "golden sample," and making undisclosed design changes.
Along with paying the $3.85 million civil penalty, Costco has agreed to maintain a product safety compliance program with the common program elements to ensure that the Company complies with product safety standards and regulations enforced by the Commission.
Companies in the consumer products arena should remain mindful of their Section 15(b) reporting obligations under the Consumer Product Safety Act. Even without a Democratic majority at the CPSC, multi-million dollar civil penalties appear as if they will remain the new normal. The true test of this new normal, however, will be any penalties coming in the near future given that there is now a Republican majority at the CPSC.

How the funding is being used
39 and 41 Westgate Street are early timber framed buildings, dating from the middle of the 16thC which may originally have been built as one property.
39 was extended upwards in the early 1800s. Both have serious structural issues and are on our 'at risk' register. Both have interesting timbers and the original timber framing to the side elevation of 39 is still intact and has been revealed during building investigation.
No 41 has some fragments of early rare wall papers which were uncovered when later plasterboard and skim was removed from the walls. The funding is being used to consolidate the buildings, ensuring they are watertight and structurally sound making it possible to convert the upper floors to flats.

Bassano Cheesecake Celebrates Official Grand Opening of Cafe
June 11, 2020 by Post
SAFETY HARBOR, FL – Bassano Cheesecake, a handcrafted, family-owned cheesecake company, is excited to announce the opening of its first café on 507 Main Street in Safety Harbor, Florida.
In twelve whirlwind months, the husband and wife team of Tom and Cindy Bassano have outgrown both a home-based business and a rented professional catering kitchen space, to move into their own café featuring over 20 different cheesecake varieties.
In June 2019, when Cindy replicated Tom's Aunt Clara's recipe, the couple had no idea that their life was about to change. They simply wanted an authentic New York-style cheesecake and was unable to find a company that would ship to Florida.
After taste-testing their recipe on friends and family, it was unanimously agreed that the couple could easily sell their delicious homemade cheesecake. They delivered a cheesecake to Felice's Deli. As Cindy was walking in the door of her home, the phone rang with orders from the deli. The story repeated with other local delis, catering companies, and restaurants.
Tom said, "This is a passion for us. You take your fork and slice through, and get a little resistance down to the crust, and you have to push a little harder to get through the crust. It makes that little crunch sound, and that piece comes up. It has that almost melt-in-your-mouth texture, not thick like pudding, and not thin like whip cream. It's just that in-between texture and then the graham cracker crust. A good cheesecake is a whole experience."
Since that fateful day, Bassano Cheesecake has earned consistent online rave reviews from the public on social media and found fans and fame in local celebrities, including Fox 13 TV host Charley Belcher, retired Tampa Bay Buccaneer Mike Alstott, and The Bone radio show host Mike Calta.
A two-day celebration is planned to introduce the community to Bassano Cheesecake. On Thursday night, June 18, members of the Upper Tampa Bay Chamber of Commerce and Safety Harbor Chamber of Commerce will do a ribbon-cutting ceremony to welcome the Bassano's new café in downtown Safety Harbor.
On Friday, June 19, the couple will officially open their restaurant to the public at 6 am.
Walking into the Bassano Cheesecake Café, the interior is a cozy backdrop of exposed piping made to look like vintage copper, steampunk lights with Edison bulbs, a rustic shiplap wall, charging stations, and an eclectic mix of mismatched chairs and tables showcasing family board games. Bassano Cheesecake hopes to be the meeting place for strangers to become friends, and family, friends, coworkers, and couples to reconnect.
To complement the decadent cheesecake, the café features Teabella tea and Joffrey's coffee. With every cup of Joffrey's Valor brand, the company gives back to Veterans.
In addition to giving back with their coffee choice, the Bassanos believe in paying it forward in their community. Every month a charity will receive 10% of order proceeds. In June, the Calta Foundation is the café's recipient.
"We wanted our café to be someplace we would like to go, like when you have company, and they ask 'where's a good place to go.' We want Bassano's Cheesecake to be that place. We wanted to create nostalgia where families can sit down without their heads buried in their phones, eat some good cheesecake, play some games, and spend quality time together. It's a step back in time to when you were a kid again.
Without all the people who helped us get here, we wouldn't be known. We might still be back making our twelfth cheesecake. We go to stores, and people recognize us, and we're amazed that people know us. People were posting about our opening online, and I'm wondering, 'how do they even know that?' How do people even know who we are?' " Tom paused, considering. "I think the hardest part of our opening is going to be trying not to watch our customers when they take that first bite to see their reaction."
Cindy added, "It's important to us that people like it. In the beginning, it was all friends and family. Now when people tell me how they like our cheesecake, it's kind of surreal. It makes me so happy. I hope after people experience our café and our cheesecake, they can't wait to come back again."
For more information, please visit www.bassanocheesecake.com. This event is free and open to the public.

Sure appreciate your sharing so much from your personal experience, Michael.
I feel that I grow just from hearing about how you've dealt with this and added to your own understanding of how life works.
Thanks Phil, I really appreciate you stopping by and leaving a comment.
I've spent so much time researching and questioning reasons why and now answers seem to be revealing themselves.
I really hope it's an indication that I am now entering the final stages of this whole thing and can pick up my life properly again.
Mike Flanagan recently posted…Can My Stress Become A Business Advantage?
Many thanks for sharing your experiences with stress.
I truly appreciated your honesty and your writing skill held my attention right to the end.

Stress is something I have never really understood Mike and this post was very enlightening.
Many thanks for this very special share Mike.
i really appreciate sharing your experience with stress. i'm suffering from stress every day due to hardworking and your article was very helpful to me thank you Mike .
Amazing article Mike! I agree with your points here.
Stress is a necessary ingredient that propels us into making our lives better. In fact, I also believe that stress is an indicator if we are actually living the life we want.
It's also great that you're able to recall your dream, which I've not been able to lately. I think it's one of the ways that our subconscious communicates with ourselves. It can be a great guidance tool.
Yes I agree, a certain amount of stress is necessary for us all to keep striving forward. It's also naturally built into every one of us, to trigger and ensure our continued instinct for survival.
When I had my breakdown in 2010, my medication dosages were set high but have been slowly reducing since. I'm fully aware how out-of-control stress can get and how the survival threat can be overwhelmed, falsely exaggerated and misdirected. All through increasing responsibilities and pressures of my previous high-level job.
Learning to take control of it, or take-back control in my case, and focusing on the things that are real and important in our personal lives. I believe this capability in within each and every one of us and agree that dreams are important, if not crucial in showing what we can achieve and directing us to our goals.
Thanks again for the visit, Trevor.
Completely said right some of the stress is necessary to push yourself to achieve your goals but many of us fail to take the advantage of it. It was great reading this article. Thanks for sharing your experience.

Northern Gateway Pipeline: Churches Speak Out Against Oilsands Project
John Cotter, The Canadian Press CP
Churches across Canada say they have a religious duty to speak out on the proposed Northern Gateway oilsands pipeline.
Next week, delegates at the United Church of Canada general council meeting in Ottawa are to debate a resolution that calls on the church to reject construction of the $6-billion Enbridge (TSX:ENB)project that would take diluted bitumen from Alberta to the British Columbia coast.
The resolution was drafted in support of aboriginals in B.C., who worry a spill would poison the land and water, and directs the church to send the results of its vote to the federal, B.C. and Alberta governments and the media.
Mardi Tindal, moderator of the United Church, said care of the Earth is an important part of the faith and the church can't shy away from the pipeline just because it is controversial and politically divisive.
"People care so much about this. People understand that you cannot separate economic health from ecological health," she said from Toronto.
"The church has a responsibility to contribute to the conversations that make for the best public policy for the common good."
The United Church of Canada is not alone.
Earlier this year, the Anglican Bishops of British Columbia and Yukon issued a statement that questioned the integrity of the pipeline's environmental impact review.
The diocese of New Westminster of the Anglican Church of Canada has declared its outright opposition to Northern Gateway, and is looking at excluding Enbridge stock from the diocese's investment portfolio.
A group representing 28 Presbyterian churches in B.C.'s Lower Mainland has written a letter to Prime Minister Stephen Harper that accuses the government of weakening environmental reviews and demonizing people who oppose projects as radicals trying to sabotage Canada's economy.
In her letter to Harper, Rev. Diane Tait-Katerberg wrote there is already "overwhelming evidence the government of Canada has already made up its mind about the safety of these projects, and is arranging things so that nothing stands in the way of the development of the oilsands and the approval of these pipelines."
There is so much buzz about the pipeline in religious circles that the ecumenical justice organization Kairos has written a primer on the Enbridge project entitled Ethical Reflections on the Northern Gateway Pipeline. It's meant to help churches make their own value judgments on the project.
The primer says Northern Gateway presents intersecting challenges for the economy, ecology and Canada's relations with aboriginal people.
It says the focus on the anticipated wealth the pipeline would create threatens to obscure the magnitude of the profound challenges it would pose to the environment.
"In a very immediate way, Northern Gateway threatens the survival of the First Nations whose territory it would cross," the report says.
"A spill would devastate livelihoods, the land, food sources and the ability to pass on to future generations values, principles, languages and core aspects of how these people's cultures are practised."
Kairos member churches include the Anglican Church of Canada, the Christian Reformed Church in North America, Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada, Religious Society of Friends (Quakers), Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops, the Mennonite Central Committee of Canada, the Presbyterian Church in Canada and the United Church of Canada.
Ed Bianchi, a Kairos spokesman, said the report is impartial on Northern Gateway.
"I don't think it is a political issue. I think it is an issue that is of concern to our society because it has so many potential impacts on so many people," he said.
Enbridge said it has no problem with churches weighing in with their opinions on Northern Gateway. But the Calgary-based corporation added it is concerned about whether people are basing their opinions on facts.
Enbridge vice-president Janet Harder said the company has been working hard to explain the project to people who live along its 1,200-kilometre route, but hasn't done enough to explain it to the rest of Canada.
Harder said Enbridge plans to release more information this fall about the environmental standards it would have for the pipeline and how the company would protect the ocean from spills. The information could include an advertising campaign in B.C. and Alberta and perhaps the rest of the country.
As well, she said, more facts will come out during the next phase of joint review panel hearings that begin in Edmonton next month. Government and intervener groups will be able to ask Enbridge detailed questions about the project.
Harder is confident people who are saying 'no' to the pipeline now may change their position before the panel wraps up by the end of next year.
"We don't need to win the hearts and minds of people over the next couple of months," she said. "We do have time to communicate and help people understand what this project is all about."
The intervener phase is to run from Sept. 4 to Sept. 28. It is to examine the economic need for the project, how it would be financed and the toll structure it would use.
When the hearings shift to Prince George, B.C., in October, the panel is to hear questions on the environmental effects of the pipeline and Enbridge's plans to deal with accidents and malfunctions.
The final questions phase to be held in Prince Rupert, B.C., in November and December is to look at the potential impacts of the pipeline on aboriginals and the environmental risks of shipping bitumen by super tanker in the waters along the rugged B.C. coast.

Getty ImagesDía de los Muertos.
Despite all the candy and costumes today, Halloween started as a way to remember the dead.
However, not many other countries celebrate it. That said, many other countries do have holidays that pay homage to the deceased.
From a festival in Cambodia devoted to feeding dead relatives to Mexico's famous Día de los Muertos, keep scrolling to learn about 5 celebrations around the world that celebrate the dearly departed.
Gokhan Balci/Anadolu Agency/Getty ImagesTwo women celebrate Día de los Muertos in Moscow, Russia.
Dating back to the time of the Aztecs, the Mexican holiday Día de los Muertos – or "Day of the Dead" – marks a celebration of dead loved ones.
People play music at cemeteries, dress in ornate, colourful costumes, and make flower-adorned altars from October 31 to November 2 to honour the souls of dead family members, whose spirits they believe return to Earth during this time.
Día de los Muertos is now celebrated in various pockets of the world, including the US and even Russia.

Obon, the Festival of the Dead in Japan, lasts for about five days around August 15, and begins with people lighting small fires outside their homes to guide spirits. Similar to Mexico's day of the dead, Obon's purpose is to honour deceased ancestors.
Festivities include eating special meals, cleaning up the gravestones of late family members, and – on the final day –lighting up the night sky with bonfires and lanterns to send off the spirits.
Obon's Gozan Okuribi (or Daimonji) bonfire festival in Kyoto attracts thousands of visitors annually who come to watch traditional dances or light paper lanterns of their own.
Typically held in November, Haitians who practice voodoo (a spiritual belief system common in Haiti and other cultures) attempt to raise the dead on Fet Gede.
Throughout the month preceding the celebration, Haitians lay out gifts in front of their homes – like homemade beeswax candles and flowers – to make spirits feel welcome.
When the night of Fet Gede comes, Haitians make a pilgrimage to the cemetery followed by boisterous celebrations – voodoo churches, called peristyles, are filled with people dancing, singing, and feasting.

The Hungry Ghost Festival – aka Yulan – is celebrated in many Buddhist and Taoist Asian countries on "the 15th night of the seventh lunar month." Especially prevalent in China, the festival commemorates dead ancestors and unofficially goes on for the entire month, during which ghosts are believed to come up from their realm and wander Earth.
On the festival's last day, people celebrate by floating colourful lanterns along rivers, which are meant to guide the spirits away.

Every October in Cambodia, people celebrate Pchum Ben, an ancient festival in which the living "give back" to the dead.
In Khmer, the word "pchum" means to congregate, and "ben" means to collect and"cup or mould cooked rice into portions." For 15 days in October, Cambodians come together and visit Buddhist temples with food offerings meant to aid spirits' suffering in the afterlife.

L2 in narrow season-opening defeat
The Enniscorthy Ladies' 2nd team played host to Bray 5th in their opening match of the Leinster Ladies' League Div. 12 last Saturday (7th October). An intense game from tip-off, it was clear the Enniscorthy women had been awaiting their first ever Leinster League match with anticipation. Enniscorthy was on the attack immediately, vice-captain Eleanor Bolger working skilfully in mid-field to send the ball in the right direction.
Forward Megan Dempsey made a series of accurate passes to Elaine Hickey. Hickey, coach of the club's first and second class girls, shot on goal, eager to continue on the success of her victorious team in their blitz earlier that day.
Leaving Certificate student Orlaith Breen from Bunclody was in sparkling form, running the length of the field on numerous occasions. Breen was ably supported by her FCJ classmate Saoirse Power, who had a cracking game. Time and time again, Power won the ball from Bray, sending it back towards their goal.
Our trusted backline welcomed Alex Doyle-Weston, who showed strength from the get-go. Doyle-Weston and the reliable Róisín Ó Muirí pressed high and hard, keeping the ball well away from their corner. Goalie Kim O'Connor executed some lovely saves, clearing the ball out of the circle completely on more than one occasion.
Amy Dalton picked up on one of these balls in particular, sending it neatly to Hickey who then passed it to captain Mairead Neville, whose attempt on goal went wide.
Down one goal to Bray, Enniscorthy fought on. A short corner to the 'Scorthy ladies saw them come close to equalising but just not close enough.
Squad: Mairead Neville, Eleanor Bolger, Kim O'Connor, Alex Doyle-Weston, Róisín Ó Muirí, Saoirse Power, Orlaith Breen, Elaine Hickey, Muireann Ní Corcráin, Megan Dempsey, Amy Dalton, Emer O'Doherty, Julie Hayes

Q: Android WiFiManager - Occasionally throwing error when setWiFiEnabled is used Has anyone experienced a problem where the
I/WifiManager(22480): setWifiEnabled : true
E/WifiManager(22480): java.lang.Throwable
E/WifiManager(22480):  at android.net.wifi.WifiManager.setWifiEnabled(WifiManager.java:959)

I seem to be having this happening hit/miss when turning on or off the Wi-Fi radio through the android APIs.  It is being used in the function below:
public static void manageWiFiRadio(Context context, String onoff)
{
    Log.d(TAG, "managerWiFiRadio(context, " + onoff + " )");
    try
    {
        wifiManager = (WifiManager) context.getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE);
        Thread.sleep(250);
        if ( onoff == "on")
        {
            if(!wifiManager.isWifiEnabled())
            {
                Thread.sleep(250);
                wifiManager.setWifiEnabled(true);
            }
            else Log.d(TAG,"WiFi is already" + onoff);
        }
        else if( onoff == "off")
        {
            if(wifiManager.isWifiEnabled())
            {
                Thread.sleep(250);
                wifiManager.setWifiEnabled(false);
            }
            else Log.d(TAG,"WiFi is already" + onoff);
        }

    }
    catch (Exception e) {Log.d(TAG, "There was an exception in wifi e:" + e);}
    wifiManager = null;
}

I added the sleeps above for debugging but that only lowered the reproduction rate.
For testing, I've executed this on a Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III and a Sprint HTC Evo 4G and both are having this problem.  When the error is thrown, it is caught within the Android OS but the Wi-Fi radio never changes state.

A: Change
Thread.sleep(250);
wifiManager.setWifiEnabled(false);

to
wifiManager.setWifiEnabled(false);
Thread.sleep(250);

I'm Still Not Sure How I Feel About Novels With A Commentary Track: Annotated Chronicles
The Good: Well-written books, Interesting "commentary" with the annotations
The Bad: Strangely scholarly for a not really scholarly work.
The Basics: Interesting, but a tough sell for adults or those who already have the "Chronicles" books, the Annotated Chronicles provides a commentary on the three books with the original text.
I love DVD commentary tracks. In fact, I'm a huge fan of listening to DVD commentary tracks on films that I love and there have been one or two other movies I've actually sat through a commentary track for after despising the film just to see what the people involved thought they were doing. I also believe that living novelists have a responsibility to their fans to detail what they meant in their works as opposed to simply what they say in the works themselves. So, for example, for my novels, I have written essays both before I began each book, after I finished, after I revised and whenever things have occurred to me (I was able to note with some surprise, for example, that in Within These Walls, I seemed to be smarter than I remember consciously being by having Jennifer comforted by her lover the same way her mother comforted her as a young child).
So, it would seem like I would be a huge fan of something like The Annotated Chronicles, an omnibus compendium of the first three DragonLance novels complete with notes and "commentary" on the history within the story and in the making of the book. For the first time, I truly understand why one of my favorite websites - The Digital Bits - includes a program grade as well as a bonus feature grade on every DVD they rate. To cut to the chase, the DragonLance Trilogy begins with a bang and the books themselves would easily average out to an 8/10 rating. But the annotations in this version are average at best and it seems like a lot of work and information for a series that is not as scholarly as this edition seems to want readers to believe it is.
This is an omnibus edition that contains the "Chronicles" Trilogy, which was:
Dragons Of Autumn Twilight
Dragons Of Winter Night
Dragons Of Spring Dawning
For those unfamiliar with them, Dragons Of Autumn Twilight opens the trilogy and the series. As the result of a vow to come together after years apart, a small group of companions meets at the Inn Of The Last Home to discuss the changes in the world they have observed over their years apart. After the years of separation, they have made notes on the rising forces of evil in the world of Krynn and the companions are dismayed when one of their number - Kitiara - does not show, despite the vows that bind the members of the group. Tanis, a half-elf, half-human, leads the companions, despite his own deep insecurities. His friends are a diverse bunch: Raistlin Majere, a mage, who is accompanied by his physically powerful brother, Caramon, Flint Fireforge, a dwarf, Tasslehoff, a Kender (diminutive thief), and Sturm, a knight who has been disgraced. The companions are joined by two newcomers, travelers from the plains, a healer named Goldmoon and her partner Riverwind. Goldenmoon comes bearing an ancient staff that has the ability to heal people and she claims to be a cleric of one of the old, forgotten gods.
Unfortunately for the companions, the newcomers draw the attention of the local religious fanatics and an invading army of dragonmen (draconians) who are loyal to the forces of evil. Tanis decides to rescue Goldmoon and Riverwind and in the process the group flees, with a barmaid from the Inn across Krynn. Eager to alert the centers of power in the dwarven nations and realms of the Elves to the new threat represented by the draconians and the return of the malicious gods, Tanis and his band find themselves beset upon by evil forces while trying to alert the leaders who might prevent Krynn from falling into darkness. And no sooner does the group escape one dangerous situation than they find themselves face to face with an enemy army, evidence of the return of the old gods, and an actual dragon!
Dragons Of Autumn Twilight is a setup novel, establishing the world of Krynn and the essential main characters and supplemental characters for the franchise. Right off the bat, this differentiates itself from The Lord Of The Rings because the story is character-based, not plot based. In The Lord Of The Rings, there is a mission determined somewhat externally by people only peripherally involved in the bulk of the story. Elrond dictates that the One Ring must be destroyed and everyone sets out to doing that while trying to hold the continent together long enough for Frodo and Sam to succeed. In Dragons Of The Autumn Twilight, there is nothing so clear cut and the people the book is centered on are not the powerbrokers of the planet. They are just good people (well, most of them) who want to do right by their fellow citizens.
The result is a story where the heroes make choices that lead them to heroism, not some form of generic heroism based upon accomplishing a task or a birthright. This is not to say that one cannot be fans of both The Lord Of The Rings and DragonLance, but truth be told, the two main flaws in Tolkein's works are absent from this franchise, starting in Dragons Of Autumn Twilight: the writing style and the element of character.
In Dragons Of Winter Night, the Companions split into two groups to try to achieve their goals of saving Krynn. One group, led by the half-elf Tanis, follows the best character from the first novel (Raistlin, a mage) and his twin brother on a quest to find a mythical magical object called the Dragon Orb. It is rumored to be able to control dragons and through the course of the novel it becomes more apparent that it is like a narcotic.
The bulk of the novel is about the other group. Led by Laurana the elf (she's on the cover of the original version!) and Sturm, a sort of Knight, the group goes on a quest for the Dragon Lance, an object that can kill dragons. Actually a good amount of the novel is spent reconciling the "sort of" part of the knight. Sturm is one of the few characters you can read in literature (yes, all literature) and think, "Wow, this guy is truly principled, even noble."
Book 3 in the novel is the siege of the High Clerist's tower where Sturm and Laurana have to defend the tower and the fate of the world comes into the balance when the DragonLances are tested!
In Dragons Of Spring Dawning, Follows the first major battle between the heroes of Krynn and the dragon armies following the discovery and production of the DragonLances. Laurana the elf maiden and Tas deal with the death of one of their own at the hands of Kitiara, who as it turns out missed her appointment in the Fall because she was busy joining the dark side. Now a minion of evil, the love of Tanis's life captures the other woman he loves and prepares to use Laurana to open a portal that will allow the evil goddess Tahkisis to enter this plane of existence. Eager to warn Tanis and save Krynn, Flint and Tas race to Tanis's side.
Unfortunately, the plans Tanis and Raistlin have been working on to save Krynn have put the world on the brink of a full-scale war and Raistlin is acting more twitchy than usual. As the companions both prepare for an all-out war with the forces of evil and deal with another casualty from their group, Tanis succumbs to Kitiara and Raistlin abandons the cause to take on the leaders of the magical orders, threatening the whole planet!
Dragons Of Spring Dawning is the final volume of the beginning of the franchise, so it's a pretty safe bet that Krynn will not be destroyed by the entrance of the Goddess of evil in this volume and it's not ruining anything to point that out. In fact, this book manages to be quite the nail biter in that regard because well before the reader gets to that point, two of the principle characters are already dead and two look like they are headed over to the side of evil. Dragons Of Spring Dawning is quite adept at keeping the tension high and the variables well in play.
This leads us to character. "Chronicles" is full of characters and they are a diverse bunch. Flint Fireforge may well be a simple sage advisor to Tanis, who spends his time making quips at Tas, but he is written in such a way that he appears to be one who has a history and has a rich tale behind him where it makes sense that he has Tanis's unwavering support. Goldmoon and Riverwind might well be the least developed characters in the book, but they at least have a purpose: she is a woman of faith with a magic staff. They lend diversity to an already diverse novel by adding characters roughly analogous to the Native Americans to an otherwise European blend of characters.
Sturm Brightblade is a knight who has never been accepted by the order of knights he strives to be in, due to his low birthright. Sturm is one of those characters who immediately seems whitebread, but is actually a fascinating study in genuine heroism. He is a man who follows a strong moral code for the sake of being an honorable and decent guy. I like that. He's principled for the sake of principle and once one gets over that unflinching lack of corruptibility, there is something remarkable about reading the story of a character for whom the world is still very much black and white, good versus evil.
The reason Sturm's character works at all is because of Tanis and Raistlin. Tanis is half-elven and this gives Hickman and Weis the chance to do something seldom explored in fantasy novels and certainly underrepresented in literature targeted toward young adults, which is to explore race issues. Tanis is an interethnic symbol walking around Krynn despised by both sides and the metaphor works beautifully and is so thinly veiled that only the most dense or young readers will not understand it. Tanis struggles with being too different from the humans and being an outcast among his chosen people, the elves. That level of conflict informs many of his decisions and that works beautifully for the book!
But from the beginning, it was Raistlin who grabbed readers, especially me. He's a mage, powerful but clearly wounded by the magic he practices. His eyes have hourglass pupils as a result of a trial the order of mages put him through and he sees the decay in all things. He is neutral and has little care for wars or the fate of the masses. In many ways, he is an intellectual snob. Physically sickly, he is a genius when it comes to magic and herbal medicine and from the moment he enters the narrative, there is a complete and beautiful ambiguity about the character that makes the reader wonder just which way he will fall when the impending war comes.
Choices that Tanis, Sturm, Raistlin, and Tas make change the course of event on Krynn and this story is a first exploration into a much larger world, but in virtually every chapter there is an allusion to something that fleshes out Krynn and makes one more curious about the characters, the history of the world and the future of it. It's smart, asks deeper philosophical questions about the relationships between individuals and their religions, faith and honor and it's worth the time of anyone who likes a good fantasy novel. And truth be told, it's better than virtually any other literature targeted toward young adults and the surprising thing I'm rediscovering is with its emphasis on character just how enjoyable it can be for adults.
In the Annotated Chronicles there is a sidebar alongside the main text. This includes notes from Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman on everything from how the names were derived to pointing out key information the characters receive. Some of it is just insulting, like pointing out what readers should be getting as clues on characters who have secret importance, like Fizban. Pointing out the moment characters do things that later come out is something like the literary equivalent of audio commentary on DVDs pointing out something that the director makes clear on screen moments later or like when someone providing audio commentary just starts repeating dialogue or says, "Oh, wait, here's a good part coming up . . .!"
I'm not saying this is not interesting, but it is a bunch of overkill comments and notes, only half of which are actually providing new information or something that cannot be gotten anywhere else by simply reading closely. Ultimately, that's why I knocked this down into "average" territory. It's interesting, but too much of it is repetitive or pointless. Adult readers will not need this level of commentary on things that they are reading.
That said, I am recommending it because I can see how when I was in my teens I would have eaten this up. When "DragonLance" was (relatively) new and I was eating it all up, I could not get enough. As a result, something like this would have been a real treat, even though I was a careful reader even then. Those who like things spelled out for them will enjoy The Annotated Chronicles. Now, I could have used a separate volume that was just "The Making Of Chronicles," something like Weis and Hickman discussing the process independent of the text.

Napínáček je zařízení které snižuje odpor spouště palné zbraně při střelbě. Nejčastěji bývá používán na loveckých kulovnicích.

Použití
Napínáček je mechanismus, který může doplňovat spoušť zbraně. Standardně spoušť zbraně klade při stisku odpor. Tento odpor je důsledkem mechanické konstrukce. Zároveň je určitý odpor spouště žádoucí. Existence odporu spouště pomáhá předcházet nechtěnému výstřelu při manipulaci s nabitou zbraní.
Pomocí napínáčku může střelec těsně před výstřelem významně snížit odpor spouště. Tím, že střelec nejdříve použije napínáček, může potom iniciovat výstřel už jen lehkým dotykem na spoušť. Významně tak sníží riziko že střelec strhne zbraň v důsledku vyvinutí síly na překonání odporu spouště.
I na zbraních vybavených napínáčkem může střelec střílet bez použití napínáčku.

Princip funkce
Principem napínáčku a tedy i jeho základní součástí je páka. Tato páka je poháněna svou pružinou. Použití napínáčku způsobí stisk, respektive napnutí této pružiny. Při výstřelu pak zapůsobí páka napínáčku na páku spouště.

Konstrukce
Existuje více různých konstrukcí napínáčků. Zde jsou popsány dvě nejběžnější.

Německý napínáček
Z vnějšího pohledu vypadá zbraň s německým napínáčkem jako by zbraň měla dvě spouště za sebou. Zadní jazýček ovládá napínáček. Přední jazýček je vlastní spoušť zbraně.

Nachází se nejčastěji na brokovnicích u hlavní spouště.

Francouzský napínáček
Spoušť s francouzským napínáčkem se z vnějšího pohledu neliší od běžné spouště. Z vnějšku zbraně je vidět jen jeden jazýček. Aktivace napínáčku, tedy natažení jeho pružiny se provádí posunem jazýčku spouště dopředu.

Implementation of MVCC (Multi-Version Concurrency Control) in PostgreSQL is different and special when compared with other RDBMS. MVCC in PostgreSQL controls which tuples can be visible to transactions via versioning.
What is versioning in PostgreSQL?
MongoDB is loved by developers for its productivity, but productivity can decline when you begin to write enterprise applications and realize that some database features you take for granted are not available in MongoDB. One of these features is support for transactions.

Q: Получить ветку и сделать merge я клонировал репозиторий. клонировалась ветка master. там еще есть ветка edit.
как мне получить эту ветку, сделать merge с master, и потом отправить всё в основной репозиторий?

A: если меняли умолчальное имя удалённого репозитория — origin, то подставьте своё. влить в текущую ветку (master) коммиты из ветки edit удалённого репозитория origin:
$ git merge origin/edit

после внесения всех, возможно необходимых, правок (после которых потребуется выполнить git commit), отправить изменения из текущей ветки (master) в назначенную для push-а ветку в удалённом репозитории можно так:
$ git push

если эту команду собираетесь выполнить первый раз после клонирования, то потребуется назначить ветку для push-а в удалённом репозитории. команда для отправки будет выглядеть так:
$ git push -u origin master

A: Если я всё правильно понял, то так:
git fetch
git checkout -b edit

Редактируете всё в ветке edit, коммитите изменения в неё. Когда закончите:
git checkout master
git pull origin master:master //не забываем загрузить себе всё самое последнее из мастера, если там что-то появилось
git merge edit

Если повалятся конфликты, - разрешаем их и домёрдживаем.

Weekend Movie Marathon: 2/8-2/10
Weekend Movie Marathon
2/8 - 2/10
This weekend I am not going with any theme what so ever. I am just going to go with the flow... and watch whatever movie that I find myself in the mood for. Though I do want to watch some of my unwatched collection and make room for the new coming soon.... I won't be limiting myself to them. So this weekend I am watching...
Superman: Doomsday
When 'Lexcorp' accidentally unearths the intergalactic serial killer 'Doomsday', 'Superman' battles the creature head-on in the fight of his life...literally. The world collectively mourns its fallen hero; humanity realizes it will never feel truly safe again. Superman's enemies rejoice - all but 'Lex Luthor', who grieves the loss in his own demented manner, setting off a chilling chain of events that even he couldn't have foreseen.
Inspired by the best-selling graphic novel of all time, DC Comics' 'The Death of Superman', this feature-length animated adventure boasts exciting action sequences that rival anything you've ever seen starring the 'Man of Steel'.™
I am a fan of Superman: The Animated Series... and when I first ordered this I was under the impression this movie was off that series... but I was mistaken there. This is just an animated movie... separate from the series. That is not a bad thing... I enjoyed the movie... even as short as it was. I know a lot of fans of the comic books didn't like it because it left so much out and just didn't compare to the comics. There is where I am lucky... as I never read the comics version of this story. Another thing I heard mentioned was on the talent used... I heard people not satisfied with Anne Heche doing the voice for Lois Lane. Now that I do agree with... her voice... and her attitude just didn't feel right for the character... and felt like it really took away from both the character and over all the movie for me. On the other hand... they had James Marsters (Spike on Buffy) voicing Lex Luthor... which at first felt weird... but it quickly grew on me and just felt right. Adam Baldwin (Jayne on Firefly) voiced Superman/Clark Kent... I never had a problem with that one... it felt right from the start. Over-All I really enjoyed the movie. I just wish it was longer then the very short 78 minutes.

The terrifying account of an actual Connecticut town where nearly fifty people are slaughtered in a two day killing spree. Who was the killer? Was it a homeless drifter? Or was it Kane Barker, the ruthless axe factory owner who died one hundred years before?
This is a (very) low budget horror movie that I got (extremely) cheap. It came in a set of 4 horror movies (Collinsville, Collinsville 2, Hell Asylum & Witchouse 3) Called Haunted by the Past that I got for only $5.99... that is approximately $1.50 per movie. As I said this movie is very low budget... no one in this movie you would recognize. The first thing I noticed is that for a low budget movie... yes it did have a low budget feel to it... but the quality of the actual filming was pretty good. Also the actors... even though unknown was not terrible. I found myself being able to enjoy the movie. Then the weirdness happened. First I notice that the story itself if very short... talking under an hour short. But to gain time... they made a round table conversation with the cast and crew documentary attached to the end... actually as part of the movie. A documentary that seemed serious... at least till the end.. which makes me question how serious was the documentary to start with? See in the documentary the actor that played the killer got into words with the director... and he ended up walking out on the discussion. Then tacked on the end of the documentary it showed a clip of the actor coming back to return a hat from the movie... and them getting into it again... this time with it getting physical... and the actor hitting the director... then asking if he was alright... about to call 911 but stops... then takes off. That is when you see a notice of this movie in the memory of the director. Implying that the director died do to the altercation. Which of course is all bull as this director has worked since this movie.
So like I said... the movie portion was good... the round-table discussion was fairly interesting till the argument begain... the ending was a complete joke. So I personally choose to look at this as an enjoyable... but very short movie. and can see myself watching the actual movie again... but will always stop it when it gets to the point of the documentary... even though it is made to be part of the movie. Now I sit here wondering if part 2 will at least be enjoyable. So I think I just may go ahead and watch it next.
Collinsville Too
One year following the horrific slaughter in a small Connecticut town, the killing spree continues, and the people of Collinsville are terrified when the body count begins to rise.
OMG! What a disappointing piece of unwatchable crap! This is one that is a complete snooze-fest! The acting was unbearable... the dialog was actually painful to listen to... and the story itself was an unforgivable mess! I will definitely watch the first one again... but this one will not be placed into my dvd player ever again! Stay Away.... Stay Far Away!
Evan Almighty
'Evan Almighty' is a comedy for all ages that "you don't want to miss" (Kim Griffis, 'NBC-TV')! Everyone's favorite funnyman Steve Carell is at his hilarious best as junior congressman Evan Baxter, whose wish to "change the world" is heard by none other than God (Academy Award® winner Morgan Freeman). When God appears with the perplexing request to build an ark, Evan is sure he is losing it. But soon mysterious deliveries of wood and tools are being dropped on his doorstep, animals of every shape and size are flocking to him two by two, and his self-absorbed life goes from overnight success to almighty mess! It's a great time for everyone!
OK... I am a huge fan of Bruce Almighty... think it is one of Jim Carey's best movies! So when I first heard that they were doing a sequel with the character Evan I had mixed feelings... was curios and wanted to see it... but bummed there was no Jim Carey. Not that I would know how they could do it with him again... but bummed all the same. Because of this I didn't allow myself to get to hyped about the movie.. but I think that is always a good thing... whenever I am really hyped about a movie I tend to get let down.
So watching this movie I was enjoying it... then I found myself laughing quite a bit. I don't feel it is as good as Bruce Almighty... but do think it was a really good movie. I can now hardly wait till I get in the mood again... and watch it as a double feature along with Bruce Almighty.
'DIRECTOR ROBERT RODRIGUEZ (SIN CITY) IS BACK' with a rip-roaring, zombie-infested rollercoaster of a movie that "sure as hell keeps you hanging on for the ride" (Peter Travers, 'Rolling Stone'). Rose McGowan, Freddy Rodriguez, Bruce Willis, and an all-star cast fight for their lives in the ultimate showdown between an army of flesh-eating mutants and a motley group of rag-tag survivors. Featuring one of the most memorable screen heroines ever and the now legendary mock 'Machete' trailer, "'Planet Terror' is a total blast - funny, gloriously gory and over the top" (Christy Lemire, 'Associated Press').
Hmmm... what did I think of this movie? I am writing this right after I turned it off so really had no time to really reflect on it. Parts of me really enjoyed it for what it is.. but yet other parts of me felt a bit let down. Well... I love Rose McGowan... I have been a fan every since she joined the TV Series Charmed... so I really thought she was great. I think my main problem with the movie was the style it was made in.. I don't like the way they went out of their way to make a new movie look like it was on really old and damaged film stock. That is just something that makes no sense to me what so ever. Another thing I had a problem with... is some of the stuff was just so far fetched out there that it did take away from the movie for me a little. But as I said... over-all I did enjoy it to. I thought it was better then the other Grindhouse movie "Death Proof".
The gore is really up there on this movie.... so if you enjoy gore in your horror... you should enjoy all that is in this one. There was even some gross stuff in this one I really wish I didn't see! (those that seen the movie... think to when Rose McGowan's character was going to get raped at the old military base)
Of course this has a lot of extras with it. It is a 2-Disc special edition after all. But I really didn't look at the extras for it yet. I did flip though some of the Poster Art Gallery... but that is about it.
I can see myself watching this movie again... but just when a certain mood hits.
Based on a story by suspence master Stephen King, '1408' is a gripping "roller-coaster of a head trip" (Owen Gleiberman, 'Entertainment Weekly') that will have you on the edge of your seat. John Cusack delivers "a tour de force performance" (Stephen Faber, 'Hollywood Reporter') as a skeptical writer investigating paranormal events. When he insists on staying in the reportedly haunted room 1408 at the Dolphin Hotel against the grave warnings of the hotel manager (Samuel L. Jackson), he discovers the room's deadly secret an evil so powerful, no one has ever survived an hour within its walls. In the tradition of King's 'The Shining' and 'Misery', '1408' is "a psychologically thrilling movie that leaves you gasping in the end" (Desiree Belmarez, 'Denver Post').
Wow... I don't know what else to say other then I loved every minute of it. Sure there was some parts that was a little weirder then I would have liked... and some of it was a bit predictable. Especially for someone that watches a load of horror/Haunted house movies as I do. But over all... I enjoyed every second of it. The cast was really good. Johyn Cusack did a great job... but I though Samuel L. Jackson was outstanding. This is one I will definitely be watching again.
When David (Luke Wilson) and Amy Fox's (Kate Beckinsale) car breaks down in the middle of nowhere, they are forced to spend the night at the only motel around, with only the TV to entertain them--until they discover that the low-budget slasher movies they're watching were all filmed in the very room in which they're sitting. With hidden cameras now aimed at them--trapping them in rooms, crawlspaces, underground tunnels--and filming their every move, David and Amy must struggle to get out alive before they end up the next victems on tape.
This one was good... I really enjoyed it. I thought both Luke Wilson and Kate Beckinsale did a good job. But I do think the actor that played the hotel manager could have been better. I don't know what it was about him... but something just rubbed me the wrong way. But over all... definitely worth checking out.
An American woman searching for her birth parents learns she has inherited a house in the middle of a forest in a remote area of Russia. It is the house where she was born. Abandoned and uninhabited for 40 years, it stands in total disrepair and neglect. What she finds is more than an old house. She meets a mysterious man claiming to be her twin brother and together they find the house holds dangerous secrets to a past they don't even remember. They are forced to relive a series of horrifying events and shocking murders that occurred just after they were born, and in the place where they were supposed to die.
This is one of the movies that was featured in the After Dark Horrorfest... and if I am not mistaken... the only of the 8 movies that had a larger theatrical release as well. This is a good movie... but a complicated one. It is one you really need to pay close attention to when you watch it. I feel that I still need to watch this one a second time to get some of the finer points of the movie. Unfortunately there is not that much when it comes to extras... just a featurette and some bonus trailers.
From the writers and director of 'SAW' comes a new thriller of relentless terror! Ever since Mary Shaw was hunted down and killed, the small town of Ravens Fair has been haunted by horrific deaths. When a local's wife is brutally murdered, he returns home to unravel the terrifying legend of Mary Shaw and the reason why when you see her, you should never, ever scream.
This makes the 9th movie I watched this weekend... and I believe this is the best one I watched yet! This movie was great! I enjoyed it immensely. This is the perfect movie to watch late at night with all the lights out. I really liked that this one really wasn't about killer dummies... but was actually a ghost story. This is a movie that I will be watching again... I am sure many times to come. This is one I would highly recommend to any horror fan!


Paroxysm Press rose from the gutter of the Australian music scene in 1998. It's been fighting tooth and nail ever since to publish the type of hard edge, honest and high impact writing we all love and live for ourselves.
Poetry and prose, 'shotgun' fiction, rapid-read novellas; tight, slick, hard hitting spoken word that can hold the stage and keep an audience on their toes even in front of hundreds of drunken music fans. The Paroxysm Crew carry with them a passion, a stubborn anger and a strong awareness of their need to entertain that sees them now amongst the best authors this country has to offer.
Paroxysm Press simply refuses to die; we will not back down, we will not go away. Every year we get bigger, every year we expand our audience and (most importantly) our much valued, much loved cult following. Like-minded writers from around the world now gather here with us to fight for the power of words. Bigger name authors stand by our side even when the rewards are less than they can receive elsewhere because they too believe in the hard, tough, true to life material we publish. They see Paroxysm fight against a world it can never beat –but they stay anyway – because they can see the fire in our eyes.


She could so easily have been ignored as just another nutter.
Most people cannot detect the scent of Parkinson's, but some who have a heightened sense of smell report a distinctive, musky odour on patients. One such "super smeller" is Joy Milne, a former nurse, who first noticed the smell on her husband, Les, 12 years before he was diagnosed.
Milne only realised she could sniff out Parkinson's when she attended a patient support group with her husband and found everyone in the room smelled the same. She thought little more about it until she mentioned the odour to Tilo Kunath, a neurobiologist who studies Parkinson's at Edinburgh University.
Kunath tested Milne's skills by having her sniff T-shirts worn by either healthy people or Parkinson's patients. Milne identified all those worn by the patients and said one more T-shirt bore the same scent. Eight months later, the wearer was diagnosed with the disease.

THE WALKING DEAD RECAP S9EP 15 THE CALM BEFORE
Well, I was being told this was going to be a special episode and as I watched I was thinking well everyone is at the fair and being reunited and it's all very sweet. I didn't know the episode was going to be 25 minutes longer than usual because the last 30 minutes is blood curdling. Keeping Lydia was stupid! They all try to convince themselves and us that it was the right thing to do but I have to disagree. This was a pretty epic episode.
THE COLD OPEN
We see a young couple battling some walkers. It's also their anniversary. "What did you get me?" he asks. She shows him that in the near distance is a safe place. It's Hilltop. Years later on their 5th anniversary she has made him a wooden coin with an H on it, for Hilltop. The man says it also stands for Hope. Finally, on another anniversary, it's present day. They're headed for the fair and she's prepared a box full of those wooden coins with the H on it. They head out, happy and smiling.
But they never make it to Kingdom. They meet their death at the hands of Alpha who proceeds to scalp the long blonde haired woman as she sings Lydia, The Tattooed Lady" quiet and creepily.
"Lydia didn't choose where she came from but she chose where she wants to be just like everyone in this room" Michonne
King Ezekiel makes a rousing speech acknowledging Rick and Carl Grimes and with a small assist from Jerry The Fair began! It's a pretty cool idea. All the communities get together and share their goods and wares and teach each other how to do things like blacksmithing and doctoring. Henry is reunited with Ezekiel and Carol and Carol sees Judith for the first time in 5 years. Everyone is happy to see Michonne there and there's so much warmth!
Michonne gathers the leaders of the communities in the theater and says that Alexandria is giving Lydia safe haven. Tara is against it but is reminded that she was not trusted at first as well, being with the Governor when they attacked the prison. She relents and they all agree to protect Lydia. They also agree to form a NATO type alliance. If one community is attacked they all are and they respond as one. They seal the deal by signing the charter that Michoinne had created 6 years earlier.
Henry shows Lydia around. Addy flirts with Henry. Lydia gets jealous. Henry reassures her she's the one for him and they kiss. They plan to have their first date that night at the movie. Carol and Ezekiel smile at the thought of their son going on a date! Rosita and Eugene have a heart to heart and she tells him they can still talk and be friends. Enid calls Alden her boyfriend and wants him to sing with Luke before the movie. Kelly is mad at Connie for leaving without saying goodbye and Connie apologizes but alludes to maybe having lost a baby in the past.
They figure that Alpha will seek revenge but on Hilltop so they plan to send a group of warriors in the to reinforce Hilltop including Daryl, Carol, Michonne and Yumiko. WHY????? They come across the area where Alpha killed the couple from Hilltop but no bodies. Daryl, Carol, Michonne and Rumiko decide to search for survivors while the others go on to Hilltop. Come on! They run into a small herd of walkers and they manage to overtake them but then The Whisperers show up headed by Beta. This is when things start getting really bad.
THE TWIST AND THE PIKES
"I've seen how you live. I've walked your streets. It's a joke. Your communities are a
shrine to a long dead world." Alpha
The last third of the episode is a slow, methodical walk to the inevitable. I kept thinking what the point of the cold open was. We find out when the story rewinds to The Fair and we see Alpha wearing the dead woman's dress, hair and hat. She's mingling with everyone and even meets King Ezeqiel. She's just as creepy in normal clothes as in walker skin. She's looking for Lydia, to take her back. When Henry tells Lydia to save him a seat at the movie while he checks something out I didn't think anything yet. But once the movie starts and Henry doesn't show up I started to get worried. Then Alpha sits down next to her.
We cut back to later that night, Beta and his group have Daryl, Carol, Michonne and Rumiko tied up. I felt that they wouldn't kill any of them. Alpha appears, back in her natural garb. She takes Daryl with her, wants to show him something. As the sun comes up he walks him to the top of a valley and he sees thousands of walkers gathered. She tells him that her people are amongst them and warns him that his people cross into their land that she will unleash that herd upon them. She says that Lydia is no longer an issue, she doesn't want her back. Daryl asks if she killed her. We see in another rewind scene that Lydia refuses to go with her and Alpha basically disowns her. She didn't kill her. But……
She tells Daryl to head back and his friends will be waiting for him. She's marked a barrier that they are warned not to cross and they'll know it when they see it. Daryl meets up with the others and they head back. Then they see Saddiq tied up and bloodied. They rush to him. He points. They look and see 10 pikes sitting on the ridge. 10 pikes with 10 heads sitting on top of them. As they draw closer the look of horror appears on their faces. They recognize the faces. Then one by one we see the heads. With each one we see rewind scenes to The Fair and people asking where these people are. What makes it even more horrifying is that the heads are turned into walkers and so their mouths are moving. It's the most horrific scene in Walking Dead history.
Ozzy and Alek, the leader and 2nd in command of The Highway Men. DJ, an ex Savior that became a trusted Hilltop resident. Frankie, one of Negan's former wives. Tammy Rose Brett Butler). Addy and Rodney, two of the kids who befriended Henry at Hilltop. Tara (Alana Masterson), Enid (Katelyn Nacon) and Henry (Macsen Lintz).
Daryl tries to stop Carol before she sees Henry but it's too late. Carol loses another child and just as when Sophia came out of that barn Daryl is there to hold her. Heartbreaking.
Normally, the episode would have ended there but it doesn't. We see Saddiq addressing everyone back at Kingdom. He's telling them the story and how Alpha wanted to scare them and intimidate them but that isn't the story he wants to tell. He'd rather tell a story about a group of people who fought back, who fought for each other even if they didn't know one another. How Ozzy, Alek and DJ found them and tried to rescue them. They battled valiantly. They were heroes. We get to see this play out as he tells it and it's very inspirational and injects some hope into the episode. Plus we get to see these characters fighting back as the last images of them on the show and not the images of them on the pikes which helps a lot.
The last scene has Daryl taking Lydia to the pikes that now form the border to Whisperer Country. Lydia places a necklace by the pike that was Henry's and they walk off.
This was a brutal episode but it was wonderfully done. This is a horror show, people. This show can still terrify and scare and make you feel at the same time. Pretty amazing that after nine seasons they can still surprise and shock.
SIDE BITES
I am not familiar with the graphic comics so I didn't know what was coming. The heads on a pike happened in Issue 144 and Rosita was one of the casualties.
Those candied apples did look good.
Daryl and Connie were looking pretty romantic when they said their farewells. Daryl asked her to look after Dog. that's as good as a proposal.
The Kingdom sure looks like a paradise! Movie theater and all!
From the preview of the season finale it looks like Winter Is Coming!
5 THNIGS I THINK I KNOW
1 Defeating The Whisperers is going to be harder than The Saviors
2 Negan will be needed to do battle with Alpha and Beta
3 Who will now lead at Hilltop? Has to be Daryl.
4 Carol will now be hellbent on revenge.
5 I don't think we lose any more people in the finale but after this episode I think all bets are off.

Q: Call instance method in class method in Python I'm designing one class for common library.
This class method called sequencially like below.
call order is 'class method' -> 'instance method' -> 'instance method'
I don't know why last instance method need self parameter..
Ordinally instance method does not need self method as we know.
What am I missing?
class A:
    @classmethod
    def first(cls):
        print('cls method')
        cls.second(cls)

    def second(self):
        print('inst method 1')
        self.third(self)  # Question! Why this method need [self] parameter?

    def third(self):
        print('inst method 2')

A.first()

A: It's because of how you're calling second.
Say you have such a class:
class A:

    def do_thing(self):
        pass

The following are equivalent:
a = A()
a.do_thing()

A.do_thing(a)

In other words, when we call a method of an instance, it is the same as looking up a function attribute of the class object and calling it with that instance as the first argument.
Now, note that when you call second, you pass cls to it. That is the class object and not an instance, which means that you're doing something like A.do_thing. Therefore, for it to know which instance you want to call third on, you need to pass in self.

A: The only thing you're missing out is that you're not creating an instance for your class.
Try this-
class A:
    @classmethod
    def first(cls):
        print('cls method')
        cls.second(cls)

    def second(self):
        print('inst method 1')
        self.third(self)

    def third(self):
        print('inst method 2')

instance = A()
instance.first()

This should give you your desired output. As for why the last method needs self as a parameter, self refers to the instance that you're applying the method on, and thus you can change it's properties with it. Let me give you an example-
class Kid():
    def __init__(self, name, age):
        self.name = name
        self.age = age

    def change_age(self, age):
        self.age = age

tom = Kid('Tom', 13)
print(tom.age) #prints 13
tom.change_age(14)
print(tom.age) #prints 14

Here, with the self argument in the method, Python would know which instances' property age does it have to change.
In your use case, it might seem not to make much sense though. I hope this helps. :)

Tasty Tuesday! Santa Fe Chicken Bowl - Seriously Yummy!
Today's recipe is sure to become a staple - it's simple, full of flavor, and easily customized to your nutritional needs. It's quick to put together with a few common pantry ingredients, and with the use of the crockpot, this meal becomes super convenient. You can even prep the chicken and the rice ahead of time (like on your food prep day), and the rest is literally opening a couple cans, chopping a few things and tossing it all together. Make the full batch, and use the leftovers for tasty lunches the rest of the week. See the tips at the end for customization ideas.

Place chicken (breasts or thighs) in crockpot.
Cook on high 4 hours, or until chicken shreds easily.
Remove chicken to a bowl, scoop green chili from crockpot into chicken (discard remaining liquid). Shred.
Meanwhile, cook brown rice (either in Chicken Bone Broth or in water).
Drain. Add cooked rice to large bowl.
Add drained and rinsed black beans, and drained and rinsed corn with chilies and peppers.
Add chopped cilantro, juice of 1 lime, and mix well.
Serve with chicken on top of rice mix.
Top with plain greek yogurt, cherry tomatoes, avocado, diced onion, sliced black olive and/or a sprinkle of shredded sharp cheddar if desired.
This makes fabulous leftovers, so portion out any into serving size containers for tomorrow's lunch.
Reduce carbs by eliminating or reducing brown rice. You can also replace the rice with quinoa for a more complete carb/protein profile.
Thanks for sharing such a nice recipe.. I really love chicken and I want try other recipes of chicken. And I prefer free range.

Q: How to create a JavaScript range slider with links? I have a list of numbers like that:

1

2

3

4

5

6

What I want to do is to show this list as a JavaScript (range) slider. As you can see, each number has a link.
What should I do to apply slider to list without losing the link feature? I mean if a number selected on the slider (wait 2 seconds), then go to the link with this number.

A: All you need is a slidestop event, something like that.
$(document).ready(function(){
    $('.slider').on('slidestop', function(){
        window.location.href = "youpage/count" + $(this).val();
    });
});

For the wait two second before changing the page, use setTimeout(function(){ // code}, 2000);
Hopes it helps !

*

*Nic

P.S. I assumed you use Jquery-UI.

A: Here is an example to createElement("a"); and you can set Attributes for the generated link
Note: links available from 0 to 100.

$("#link_generator").on("change", function() {
  //wait 2 seconds
  setTimeout(openURL, 2000);

  //or set attributes

  /* var q = $("#link_generator").val();

  setTimeout(function(){

openURL({
  "href":"/search?count="+q,
  "target":"_blank"
  });

},3000); */
