Auto light setting has been around for some time now. It will 'usually' respond to a reduction in light levels and switch on the headlights, keep them illuminated whilst the light levels are reduced and then for a short time after it detects an improvement. Now here's the thing. Sometimes I want the lights on when the auto setting doesn't, I might want them to coincide with a shower in the sunshine: the sensors often don't agree.
That brings us on to auto wipers. I am sure we have all experienced the wipers going berserk at the first spot of rain and then struggling to cope a short time later. Again there are times when I want to make the decision of when and how fast to suit my needs.
If you leave everything on auto sometimes you may not get what you bargained for. Modern cars will illuminate the dashboard whether the lights are on or not and LED running lights will give the impression of headlamps on a dark morning, so how were you to know your partner had altered the switch until the nice constable (aren't they getting younger) mentioned it.
We become accustomed to 'what we expect' and unless we make a conscious effort to check, sometimes 'see what we think we see'. I have adopted a strategy of switching off all of the auto settings when I stop, that way I know what position the switches are in. As part of my cockpit drill the next time I drive I make a positive decision to switch on the auto settings to suit my needs for that journey.
I will invite the driver aids described above to join me on some journeys but it will be my decision. Some other driver aids such as ABS, ESP, EBD and all of the other 3 letter miracles, contained within my car or bike's computer brain are not getting a polite invite – they will remain switched on at all times and if as a result of an error on my part or someone else's mistake, they decide they need to join the party they will be welcome to help in any way they see fit.
Let's use our driver aids and auto systems to our advantage but make it a 'positive' thing.

Post subject: Best Way to Compare Two Versions of REAL Studio progam?
I have two versions of a REAL Studio program, and I need to know what differences exist between the two. In short, I need to do a "file compare."
I can easily extract the source code from the .xml files (I wrote a program to do exactly that), so what I'm looking for is essentially software that can compare two plain text files.
If one file contains, say, a lengthy method not included in the other file, I can delete the extra method in the one file so that the "file compare" program won't be confused by the two files being greatly different.
What I need is a Windows program that can compare two plain text files and tell me where and how the two files differ.
Post subject: Re: Best Way to Compare Two Versions of REAL Studio progam?
For plain text we use UltraEdit http://www.ultraedit.com/ Maybe you can try their demo.
Now I use UEW for windows, and UEM for OSX.... both come with UCLite (Ultra Compare) which would be perfect for what you describe.
We use Beyond Compare at our place; and of course I use that for myself as well.
I wrote Arbed exactly for this very task. No matter what others think of generic text compare programs, Arbed beats them all because it understands the RB project structure.
Just give it a try, the compare feature in Arbed is free.
Start Arbed. That will show a small window. Now drop your two projects into the "Compare" field in that window, and within seconds you will get a window showing all the differences, method by method.
Arbed also lets you merge changes from one to the other side selectively, but that feature is not free ($59).
User of RB since first version. Provider of many free and outdated plugins.
1: Save each real-studio software-version as "version control" in save dialog in real-studio in each their own separate folder.
3: You will now quickly and easy be able to see exactly what's different between the versions.
Then you can double-click on every file there is a difference with and instantly get colorized exactly whats different between them.
I love DiffMerge from Sourcegear since it works identical on Windows, Mac and Linux. Great if you are developing on many platforms and wanna stay as simple as possible.
I use WinMerge and recommend it highly.
Thus far I have downloaded and installed the following programs: Arbed, UltraEdit, and WinMerge. What follows is a report of my initial experiences without the advantage of reading of the docs. I do intend to explore these and other recommended programs further, and obviously my making judgments on the basis of initial experiences is neither fair nor entirely accurate.
The easiest program to get started with (at least if you -- like me -- don't know what you're doing) seems to be WinMerge. If you click on "File --> Open", you are taken to a Window where you are asked for Left and Right files to compare (using Browse). Supply the filenames, click on "OK", and you're in business (at least with plain text files).
I had two types of files to compare with WinMerge: .xml RB Project files and .txt RB Project source code files extracted from the .xml RB Project files. Both types worked fine, and movement was fairly intuitive. Up and down arrow keys work for normal movement, while Alt + up and Alt + down work for moving from one difference to the next. The files are shown left and right, and color indicates the differences.
Tom Templeton's Arbed also makes it easy to compare, but -- unlike WinMerge -- Arbed lets you compare .rbp Project files and is not really intended for .xml (although I'm not sure about that) or .txt files.
My difficulty with Arbed is probably one which could be simply solved if I read the docs: By dragging two .rbp files to the "Compare" area, I immediately got lots of information on the screen from Arbed, but I didn't know what to do with that information. Arbed is tailored specifically for Real Studio users. But you have to read the docs to go further than I have gone thus far.
UltraEdit is more generic, but trying to use that program without having read the docs I found to be even more difficult. You cannot use my comments, however, to decide which program is better, because a better program that can do more is more likely to require reading of the docs to get the most out of the program.
I havn't gotten to try yet Beyond Compare or DiffMerge, but I plan on doing so, since both sound worth looking at.
Incidentally, if you're interested in my specific progress on removing the bug from my program (the main reason for my posting my original note), I tracked down the last version of my program without the bug and the first version of my program with the bug. So I'm at the right point to use one of the "file compare" programs to find what differences exist between the two versions (and then to exterminate the bug).
You can just as well drag two XML instead of RBP files onto Arbed if they're containing RB projects. Both works.
You get to see the two versions that you compare (the ones on the upper right and left half), and a view that tells you about all the differences so that you can scroll though them (bottom list).
So, to perform the comparison, simply select the first item in the bottom list, and then use the Down key or the mouse to move to the other different items.
Apologies for getting the name wrong.
Thanks for the further comments on Arbed, including the ability to use the down key or mouse to perform the comparison. Now that I know more about Arbed, it looks like it may be friendliest of all for Real Studio programmers to use.

Ceragon to Build Advanced Wireless Communications Network for India's Largest Exploration Company
Source: www.gulfoilandgas.com 3/19/2014, Location: Asia
Ceragon Networks Ltd., the #1 wireless hauling specialist, today announced that it was selected to design and build a high-capacity wireless backbone for India's Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Limited (ONGC). The new network will be used to connect offshore and onshore sites and will replace existing VSAT infrastructure. Ceragon will provide its Evolution™ Long Haul solution along with a range of services including: site-survey, system design and engineering, project management and installation. The full turnkey project is valued at several million US dollars.
ONGC is India's largest oil and gas exploration and production company. It produces nearly 70% of India's crude oil and approximately 60% of its natural gas. The company plans to use Ceragon's proven Evolution Long Haul solution. This advanced network will be used for mission critical applications such as SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition) and video surveillance. In addition, it will enable ONGC to deliver corporate-wide IT services to all the sites, including SAP applications, internet access, emails and videoconferencing and more.
"More and more players in the oil and gas industry find that the limited bandwidth, high latency and availability of VSAT technology simply cannot support the range of value-add services they require," said Ira Palti, president and CEO of Ceragon. "Our unique microwave solutions including specialized Offshore Radio Products and Stabilized antenna System (PointLink) for the offshore market are based on more than 30 years of experience in the oil and gas industry.
"By providing hundreds of Mbps, our systems allow exploration companies to enjoy secure, reliable and high-capacity communication at a much more favorable cost-per-bit. Coupled with Ceragon's proven turnkey service and project management capabilities, blue-chip customers such as ONGC can benefit from a comprehensive offering that truly supports their business," concluded Mr. Palti.

British Islamic State bride set to lose citizenship, lawyer says
London - The family of Shamima Begum, the British teenager who ran away to join Islamic State in Syria but now wants to return, have received a letter from the Home Office saying it intends to deprive her of her British citizenship, her lawyer said on Tuesday.
"Family are very dissapointed [sic] with the Home Office's intention to have an order made depriving Shamima of her citizenship," Tasnime Akunjee said in a statement posted on Twitter.
"We are considering legal avenues to challenge this decision," he added.
Begum, now 19, left London as a schoolgirl in 2015 to join the terrorist group.
Begum, who gave birth to a baby boy at the weekend, told The Times last week that she wanted to return to Britain as she believed her baby would have a better future there.
On Friday, British Home Secretary Sajid Javid said the British government may try to prevent the London teenager from returning to Britain.
However, Justice Minister David Gauke said there could be legal problems if Begum's wish to return was rejected. He told Sky News that people should not be made stateless.

Smart Cities Council Australia New Zealand (SCCANZ) has called on all political parties to position the nation for global competitiveness and leverage the opportunity of technology strategies and data insights to deliver more prosperous, and liveable cities and regions.
In releasing its 2019 national policy priorities today, SCCANZ is urging all parties to embrace four key priority areas and six initiatives it believes will help Australia become globally competitive through technology and data strategies.
Executive Director of SCCANZ, Adam Beck, said the pre-election policy platform includes a series of investments across infrastructure and the built environment, funding for regional communities to accelerate digital transformation and the establishment of an Office of City Data – a new initiative to capture greater value from data insights across and within all tiers of government.
"We believe that greater investment in technology and data solutions can help our cities, regions and indeed the nation position itself for the opportunities afforded through the greater use of data insights, such as increasing GDP and exports in innovation areas such as PropTech," he said.
Establishment of the Digital Built Australia Centre of Excellence within Infrastructure Australia to drive the digital transformation of the property sector.
Production of a National Urban Mobility Framework, to set direction for Australia's mobility future.
Creation of a Smart Regions Fund of $50M/year over three years to catalyse digital transformation in rural and regional areas.
Renewing the Smart Cities and Suburbs program and committing to $100M/year for three years.
Development of a Smart Cities Blueprint for City Deals, ensuring that this program ensures coordinated and scalable action and investment in digital transformation.
Establishment of the Office of City Data, working across all tiers of government to build data maturity that can unlock the value of data for enhanced decision making.
"Our recommendation for the establishment of the Office of City Data, for example, is a concerted effort to help leverage the latent value in data, and unlock this value to transform the way we make decisions in infrastructure spending, metropolitan planning and enhancing social wellbeing," he said.
"We believe that the City Deals process and the cities and towns moving through this coordinated level of engagement and commitment across all three tiers of government presents a significant platform for smart cities action and investment across the nation," Mr Beck said.
The Smart Cities Council is the world's longest running coalition of smart cities companies, practitioners and policy makers and advocates on behalf of more than 150 partner companies who are committed to using technology and data to transform opportunities for citizens, reduce our planetary impact and increase social equity.

Our aim is to provide children with experiences and opportunities that utilise their strengths and encourage them to acquire skills, knowledge, attitudes and sensitivities that allow them to make the most of their potential.
Our curriculum is diverse and informed by the latest thinking in early childhood education. We have created an environment that stimulates a child's natural curiosity. Our students jump in mud pits; grow, eat and share healthy food; explore their local environment; play music; immerse themselves in pre-literacy and numeracy activities; and create all kinds of art pieces.
We cater for diverse individuals and needs, and we offer multiple opportunities for children to learn, develop and become the architects of their successes.
We are also passionate advocates of play: play is a child's way of learning and understanding the world around them. It is an important medium for all aspects of their growth and their physical, social, emotional and intellectual development.
Our programming is informed by the government's Early Years Learning Framework for Australia.

Oslo fagottkor är en norsk manskör bestående av  homosexuella män. Körens repertoar sträcker sig från modern popmusik till klassisk musik blandat med humoristiska inslag.

Oslo fagottkor grundades år 2004 och dess namn kan härledas till det engelska faggot, ett pejorativ för homosexuella män, som  gruppen tar udden av. De har uppträtt i TV-programmet God morgen, Norge! vid flera tillfällen och med Kringkastingsorkestret i Oslo Konserthus. Kören producerar julkonserten "God jul og fagott nyttår" varje år i Lilleborg Kirke och håller sommarkonserter på Chat Noir i Oslo vartannat år.

Meriter
Sommaren 2009 blev Oslo fagottkor världsmästare för homokörer vid  World Outgames i Köpenhamn och år 2011 sjöng de 2010 års vinnarmelodi tillsammans med Didrik Solli-Tangen vid Norsk Melodi Grand Prix.

Under Skid-VM 2011 uppträdde kören tillsammans  med blant andra Arve Tellefsen, Wenche Myhre, Madcon och Satyrikon.

Oslo fagottkor uppträdde på operahuset i Sydney i samband med sitt 10-årsjubileum 2014 och 2017 fick de pris för bästa framförande vid Stockholm Pride.

The Jilin Provincial Museum located in Changchun City, Jilin Province, covers an area of 2,000 square meters (about 21,528 square feet). The museum is built on the original palace site of the Emperor Pu Yi, last emperor of the Qing Dynasty (1644 - 1911) who later became a puppet emperor of Manchukuo during the Anti-Japanese war (1931 - 1945). The museum has many sections with exhibits from the Paleolithic Age (from 3,000,000 B.C.) and Neolithic Age (about 10,000 years ago) through the Yuan Dynasty (1271 - 1368) to the Qing Dynasty.
Among more than 2,000 exhibits, historic and cultural relics excavated in Jinlin Province predominate. Generally speaking, its range from Wangfutun Man in Prehistoric Times (one million years before) to the Opium War (1839 - 1842) reflects the historical development of Jinlin Province. Included is a collection of calligraphic masterpieces and paintings by famous Chinese poets and painters in ancient times. Works by painters such as Zhang Daqian and Qi Baishi, are also displayed. The Jilin Provincial Museum also searches for and gathers paintings handed down from ancient times but not collected by the Qing Dynasty government. Additionally, tourists can see jade, porcelain, bronze articles and lacquers. These items were excavated in Jilin Province: iron armor, a bronze board ornament, a pair of white jade earrings and a bronze harness of the Gaojuli People (a frontier ethnic people in northeast China), a bronze mirror with inscriptions of the Khitan People in the Liao Dynasty (916 - 1125), a purple glazed bowl of the Jing Dynasty (1115 - 1234) and a fresco facsimile from a princess's tomb. These relics conjure up images of the rich cultural development of Jinlin Province.
Jilin Provincial Museum exhibits glorious stories of Chinese heroes during the Anti-Japanese War (1937 - 1945). The heroes struggled courageously against Japanese aggressors in northeast China and sacrificed their lives for the liberation of their motherland. These stories reflect an unyielding and sublime spirit.
Jilin Provincial Museum holds special displays of different themes. With its variety of relics, the museum attracts a constant flow of visitors from both home and abroad.
Take Bus 334 to Wutongjie and you will see the museum.

Q: Is it common practice to Use a struct as the return type for a function inside the SAME struct Its kind hard for me to describe it so here's the code:
#if !defined(OLC_IGNORE_VEC2D)
template <class T>
struct v2d_generic

    T x = 0;

    inline operator v2d_generic<int32_t>() const { return { static_cast<int32_t>(this->x), static_cast<int32_t>(this->y) }; }
    inline operator v2d_generic<float>() const { return { static_cast<float>(this->x), static_cast<float>(this->y) };     }
    inline operator v2d_generic<double>() const { return { static_cast<double>(this->x), static_cast<double>(this->y) };  }
};

Is it normal for a function inside a struct to have the return type as the struct itself?:
inline v2d_generic  norm()                               { T r = 1 / mag(); return v2d_generic(x*r, y*r);             }
    inline v2d_generic  perp()                               { return v2d_generic(-y, x);

Also I'm kinda confused as to what exactly these lines are doing:
inline v2d_generic  operator +  (const v2d_generic& rhs) const { return v2d_generic(this->x + rhs.x, this->y + rhs.y);}
inline v2d_generic  operator -  (const v2d_generic& rhs) const { return v2d_generic(this->x - rhs.x, this->y - rhs.y);}
inline v2d_generic  operator *  (const T& rhs)           const { return v2d_generic(this->x * rhs, this->y * rhs);    }
inline v2d_generic  operator *  (const v2d_generic& rhs) const { return v2d_generic(this->x * rhs.x, this->y * rhs.y);}
inline v2d_generic  operator /  (const T& rhs)           const { return v2d_generic(this->x / rhs, this->y / rhs);    }
inline v2d_generic  operator /  (const v2d_generic& rhs) const { return v2d_generic(this->x / rhs.x, this->y / rhs.y);}
inline v2d_generic& operator += (const v2d_generic& rhs) { this->x += rhs.x; this->y += rhs.y; return *this;          }
inline v2d_generic& operator -= (const v2d_generic& rhs) { this->x -= rhs.x; this->y -= rhs.y; return *this;          }
inline v2d_generic& operator *= (const T& rhs)           { this->x *= rhs; this->y *= rhs; return *this;              }
inline v2d_generic& operator /= (const T& rhs)           { this->x /= rhs; this->y /= rhs; return *this;

:)

A: The functions in question are all overridden operators.  These allow c++ to know what happens when you add v2d_generic_1 + v2d_generic_2 for example.
The reason they return a value of type v2d_generic is because that's how the +,-,etc operators need to work if you want types that behave in a number like way.  A + B must return the result of that operator for example so that this result could be then used in the calculation (A + B) * C.
The result of this calculation would also be a v2d_generic and so on..

A:
Is it normal for a function inside a struct to have the return type as the struct itself?:

Yes, it is. In most cases used for operator overloading and generating new instances of struct or class based on current instance of struct or class.

Also I'm kinda confused as to what exactly these lines are doing:

search about operator overloading in c++.
cppreference.com operator overloading

A: The answer is yes, just as it is common to return class instances from class member functions.
The operator lines just simply implement the new operators on the defined type v2d_generic. The same way you can create two strings - stringA and stringB - and concatenate them by using stringA + stringB because the std::string class implements the operator+.
std::string stringA("Hello"), stringB(" StackOverflow"), result;
result = stringA + stringB;

This is possible because std::string implements the operator+.
See here: std::string operator+

Proposition Q&R fail-lets not jump to conclusions just yet please

NEVER forget da SONICS
Sacramento voters roundly reject Kings arena tax
ROBIN HINDERY
SACRAMENTO - After months of contentious wrangling and bitter public debate, county voters overwhelmingly rejected Tuesday a tax increase that would have partially financed a flashy new Sacramento Kings basketball arena.
Ballot measures Q and R proposed a quarter-cent sales tax boost to help raise public funds for a downtown arena and other projects. With 91 percent of precincts reporting, nearly 72 percent of voters opposed Measure Q and more than 80 percent opposed Measure R.
Local business owners and taxpayers' groups have argued that the billionaire Maloof brothers, who own the team, should not ask county residents to fund the bulk of the project.
"Voters understood that we were being asked to provide a public handout in the form of an arena for a billionaire corporation," said Assemblyman Dave Jones, D-Sacramento, who led the campaign against the measures.
Jones said the strong opposition to the measures was a sign that voters believed they were getting "a bad deal" and were frustrated by the stop-and-go negotiations between the Maloofs and local government officials in recent months.
The measures' supporters tried to convince voters that the Kings must have a new arena to keep pace with the rest of the NBA, both in revenue and reputation. Their current home, Arco Arena, is far behind most other NBA stadiums when it comes to even the most basic amenities.
Officials backing the tax increase split the tax proposal into two measures in an attempt to get around a requirement for a two-thirds vote to approve a tax increase to pay for a specific project or program.
on espn, there was speculation that the maloofs would consider moving to anaheim or perhaps las vegas.
we are in a similiar situation in seattle; voters didnt support the new tax and it would make it difficult in the whole county for a new arena
my comment: at least in seattle, we have other suburbs who it might happen. i am not sure that is the case in sac-town.
the maloofs and our owner bennett do not want to fund these arenas with their own money; the people are saying no to corporate welfare therefore, moving the teams to a place that will build a new arena for the owners is a very real possibility

Lets's Try to Keep the Kings in Sacramento
I'm an avid Kings fan and desperately want the team to remain in Sacramento. However, I can understand how a team owner might decide to
relocate to get a better buisiness deal. Apparently, there are other cities which are eager to have a professional team and will offer the moon and stars in order to lure a team to their city.
I believe the Maloofs (Kings owners) appreciate the fan base they have here but at the same time they're becoming frustrated with efforts to get a new arena built. (To replace ARCO arena, the second oldest in the NBA.)
A non profit group has already indicated that a new move is underway to explore alternative solutions to the arena problem. It will be interesting to see whether a revived effort can be fruitful.

I edited the title because it's not a done deal that they're moving or staying yet...
Anyway, I hope they just try to get the arena in Natomas maybe with some investors or something like that. Maloofs might have tricked Sacto though.
Also I have to say, Dave Jones is a slimey bastard.

Speculation is just that....speculation. The Maloofs have said publicly many times that they do not want to move. Fan support is very high and we sell out every game. Would they get that in Anaheim or Las Vegas? I don't think so, there's too much to do in Vegas and LA has two other teams already. We just move on to the next attempt at a deal. If they do move, I'm still a fan of the Kings wherever they go.

Other cities will bend over backwards to get the kings, and will probably let the kings use their arenas with little to no cost because they realize what a pro team can do to their community, something the people of sacramento failed to learn, and will regret in 10 years.

I have no reason to think they're lying. But if they are, I'm a Kings fan regardless. I rode with the Kings before the Maloofs.

But, I doubt the Kings leave sacto. I heard they are already at work at exploring different ways to build an arena including making the city pay without public voting (what memphis did and I believe sac should do)
Lots of people are jumping to conclusions. What city is going to bend over backwards for the Kings? Where will they go?
Las Vegas: LV could not even fill a college arena for the preseason games there and the local buzz for the allstar game is also pretty low. Most people there are tourists and they wouldn't go to the games.
Anaheim:How much support would the kings get when they are competing with not only the Lakers ( ateam thats been in LA forever) and the Clippers? Imagine trying to convince former laker's fans to go to a kings game.
Oklahoma City: The Hornets don't want to leave OKC. New New Orleans can't support a basketball team yet, hell they couldn't support the hornets before Katrina. Remember how the hornet's owners had to try and scam the league to get them to allow them to move in the first place?
The Kings probably will get something done in Sac. Lots of pro owners lose money. If the maloofs were all about money they wouldn't invest in a sports franchise, they would put it into more casinos (the real money maker). Sacramento is a great basketball enviroment. The merchandise sells like crazy and we sellout every game. And we have absolutely ridiculously priced tickets that we are overcharged for every game. The Kings have everything going for them. Good teams don't usually move cities. Crappy teams tend to move more.
The arena might be built by a private business looking to cement itself in Sacramento, like SMUD or PG&E. Or the city might figure out another way to finance it without going through this long voting ordeal.
BTW, how was Arco Arena originally paid for? It outdates me, so I have no clue about the history of it. I know the maloofs are still paying for it or something like that
sac bee spin
"As the sales tax increase for a new Kings arena in the downtown railyard went down to a crushing defeat Tuesday, the group spearheading the campaign for Measures Q and R said it will continue working to get such a facility built. Measure R, which would have raised the Sacramento County sales tax by a quarter-cent, failed by a 80 percent to 20 percent margin Tuesday night with all precincts reporting. Measure Q, a companion advisory initiative, fared slightly better, going down on a vote of 72 percent to 28 percent." Sacramento Bee
"But while the revelers in Mason's tried to stay upbeat, a high-ranking official in the National Basketball Association offered a more grim assessment of the prospects for getting an arena built here. He noted that there is no alternative arena financing plan at the moment, and several previous attempts to come up with one have failed." Sacramento Bee
"The Maloofs are committed to staying in Sacramento if they possibly can, and there's certainly no interest on the part of the NBA in moving the team. But we can't figure out what to do next," said the NBA's Harvey Benjamin, who participated in ultimately unsuccessful negotiations with the city, county and the railyard developer for an arena." Sacramento Bee
the key is: will the maloofs spend their own money to build an arena? they seem like good guys, but they are astute businessmen first. with a choice of a city offering to build for them and they having to front millions-- what will they choose?
as badly as i feel for the sonic fans, i think you kings fans have it a bit worse because of the lack of options in the sac area
ps-- i didnt appreciate my original title being censored--- there was a question mark after the title las vegas or anaheim kings?
So are there other options for the sonics in seattle?
Like I asked in my last post, who are the really willing cities that are potential suitors?
Your title was edited because it's jumping to conclusions. We don't know they'll move to Anaheim(although it's looking more likely) and Stern said no team in Vegas unless they do something about the gambling problem. I don't see how they'd move to Anaheim and sell out though, I doubt there are that many displaced Kings fans in SoCal and most NBA fans are Laker/Clipper fans. Laker fans HATE the Kings, there's no way they would go to a kings game and yell "go kings!", they might go if it's kings vs lakers though.
BTW the Bee hates the Kings(except for Breton, Marty McNeil, Mark Kreidler, and Voisin who only hated Webber). You should read some of the bull **** that R.E. Graswich writes.
Bottom line-Arco is old and needs to be replaced. Sacramento needs a state of the art arena. I love Arco but at the same time I hate it because it's old and nasty and jam packed together(as in the seats are too close).
sonic options?--- how does it compare to sac-town
the two cities that have been mentioned are bellevue and renton
bellevue is an east side suburb where some very wealthy folk live (gate is the most famous) and probably most of the people who would buy a sky box reside. i am not sure where exactly their mayor and city council are at today, but there are some things in the works
renton is the municipality just south of seattle. i had heard that the old boeing plant could be transformed. it is right at the southern most tip of lake washington
it might be just me trying to hang on to a glimmer of hope-- but i know that folks in the area will be trying all they can to keep the sonics. obviously the owners have much to do with this discussion.
i ask bennett the same questions i would ask the maloofs: how much of your own money will you invest for a new arena for YOUR team-- especially if you want a lion's share of the profits
There a lot of developing suburbs in sacramento but most of them developed into the last 5-10 years, so people they don't have much history/stability. But you can always move a little farther from sacramento like Stockton, Roseville, or Vallejo. Which are all within 1 hour of sac.
Vallejo Kings of Sacramento would be cool
Stockton already has an arena, right? Take a shot with that. And if they move, I don't think they should keep the "Sacramento" title. People of Sacramento haven't earned that title if the kings leave.
They wouldn't remove the sacramento title because its already so popular.
Sacramento may be a smalltown/cowtown but its the capital. stockton or vallejo are like meaningless on the national scale.
Don't the Pistons have an arena thats quite abit out of detroit?


A deep revelation of God's love for us is the most important thing we can receive.
Our faith hinges on it.
We struggle to believe God's promises will come to pass because of unbelief; but the root of unbelief is a lack of love.
Galatians 5:6 says faith works by love. Love is the driving force behind our faith. Remove or diminish love, and faith ceases to be what it should be. Many of us try harder to believe when we should be seeking a greater revelation of God's love for us. Then, faith would just naturally work.
Right after Jamie and I were married, I had quit my job, believing that the Lord wanted me to go into full-time ministry. We were hurting financially. It had been days since we'd eaten. Living on Coke and Fritos, our faith began to waver. Our circumstances and empty bellies were screaming unbelief at us.
One morning, Jamie took our last fifty cents and drove to the laundry mat to do laundry. While she was gone, I cried out to God, "Lord, I don't understand. I would give my right arm to feed Jamie. I believe You love us more than I love Jamie, and yet You aren't taking care of us." Circumstances blinded me to God's love. That's the main reason my faith wasn't working.
Suddenly, I realized my unbelief was because I had forgotten how much God loves us. God delights in our prosperity (Ps. 35:27). He gets no pleasure from watching us starve. As the revelation of God's love for us came flooding over me, all doubt that He would supply was instantly gone. When Jamie returned, I told her that we were going to eat meat that day.
At church, a friend asked us to stop by after service. We stayed and talked for over an hour, but there was no food. But as we were leaving, he gave us loads of fish he had caught and all the vegetables to go with them.
Just before midnight, we ate meat to our fill. The next day, a woman gave us a large box of porterhouse steaks. We went from Fritos and Coke to having steaks for a month because love made my faith work.
Our friend with the fish had come by while I was praying, but didn't stop because the car was gone. At the exact moment that I got a new and fresh revelation of God's love for us, our supply came through. As soon as I opened up to His love, my faith revived and He supplied.
Faith truly does work by love!


DEEP BREATH!! Summer is over, moms and dads! Although I will miss my kids while they're at school, I am so excited to have a little more of my freedom back. If you're a veteran mom, you probably have the whole back to school routine thing down, although every year it definitely doesn't get any easier! There are school parent nights to attend and lunches to pack. Like me, you may be feeling a little worn down after a summer full of fun and the hectic first few weeks of the kids adjusting to their new schedules. For many of us, the back-to-school season is just a transition from one busy time to another. You may not have the kids during the day, but you're going back to work, volunteering, or maintaining your home.
Before we jump into another world of craziness, let's find time for ourselves. When I'm Craving Time, I like to put a little more thought into my self-care. It is so important to reward yourself and make sure that you are feeling renewed and fulfilled (it's okay to be a little selfish in moderation and show yourself some love and gratitude). Want to know my tips and tricks to practice self love? Keep reading!
Paint. Read. Sing. Run. Play guitar. Knit. I could go on for days with little hobbies, but it's up to you to find what puts that extra spark in your day. Whatever your pleasure, set some time aside every day to make yourself happy. Practicing your hobbies helps keep you feeling grounded for the rest of the day. It gives your day purpose and leaves you feeling full, something that is so necessary for your own happiness (and sometimes your own sanity)!
I am so spoiled living in Colorado. Our weather is amazing and the views are gorgeous. It's important to me to get outside every day, even if it's just for a few minutes. It gets me away from the glaring screens of work and away from the housework I know I should be doing. Take a long look at the world God has created for us.
Start reading a new "how to" book or start listening to a new podcast. It's casual, low-stress learning, while still expanding your mind. The sillier the better. Dive into the "Every Little Thing" podcast where they look into how the most ordinary subjects work. Her first episode is all about the fascinating life of office plants! Try to really focus on the podcast or book and don't have any distractions in the background (netflix and chores can wait for 30 minutes).
I have been trying to stretch my meditation bone for a while now and it is easier said than done. Take a couple minutes at the beginning and end of your day to clear your mind. For me, this is a sure-fire way to make sure I don't wake up on the wrong side of the bed. Approach each day welcoming God's blessings. Put on the sound of beach waves or rain and pretend you're on a tropical island or in a rainforest!
There's no better way to improve your day than to reflect on Christ's teachings. Start a Bible reading plan for the rest of the year or open up a new devotional. If you don't have a lot of time, there are plenty of devotionals that only take 5-10 minutes. I love working on devotionals because of the lessons they teach. They are quick and easy ways to prod into your journey and reflect upon what progress you've made in your Christian walk.
You and your mom friends are all celebrating your freedom! It's finally time to get that coffee or catch the movie that you've been mentioning at church every week. Schedule the outing with your ladies and reconnect. You can even write a handwritten letter and send it via snail mail (a blast from the past, I know)! Have fun with your friends and strengthen your support group.
Buy yourself a bouquet of flowers or a new plant to take care of while the kiddos are away. This will bring life into your home and will be a reminder of your independence. Switch up your decorations every once and awhile to avoid cabin fever.
You can't be all Pinterest and no action! It's time to take on that DIY project or the new recipe you've been dying to try. And no, this doesn't have to be practical. Try your hand at painting or sculpture. Take up a new instrument. This way, you can hang your artwork on the fridge right next to your kids'.
Being a mom, you don't always feel your prettiest; somehow, something is always sticky. Take your time getting ready in the morning, take a bath, do your hair and hit the mall. I'm not one to go crazy with my appearance, but sometimes I need to remind myself of my femininity and try on a pretty dress or some way-too-expensive heels.
Finding a break as a mom is difficult. With the kids going back to school, take advantage of what little free time you can dig up and take care of yourself. As a Christian Life Coach, I run into women every day who simply crave time and relaxation. Use these tips to keep positive and keep Him center of your life.

Paul McCartney Carpool Karaoke
Paul Goes Home
Paul McCartney returns to Liverpool in 2018.
Paul McCartney decides to do some Carpool Karaoke in his old neighborhood with James Corden of the Late Late Show. It's a wild trip down memory lane for Paul, who gives some people in his old Liverpool neighborhood the shocks of their lives. This is a very weird video in which Paul shows that it's not that hard to draw a crowd in the middle of an ordinary day in an ordinary place... when you're Paul McCartney.
"Paul McCartney Carpool Karaoke" was filmed 9 June 2018. In it, Paul McCartney performs a mini-set at Liverpool's Philharmonic Dining Rooms. During the Karaoke singing with Corden, Paul introduces "Come On to Me" live for the first time. "Come On To Me" is from Paul's "Egypt Station" album released 7 September 2018. In the United States, the air date for the special is 20 August 2018 on CBS.
Paul brings his band along and they sing snippets of some of his classics, such as "Back in the USSR," "Lady Madonna," and "Blackbird." This is a great little video where you learn a few things about Paul you likely never knew. Worth watching.
Among other things, we learn who lives in Paul's old flat now and where his father used to do the wash (not in a washing machine).
This video was broadcast on "The Late Late Show" in the UK during the week of 17 June 2018. The showing was timed to preview the release of "Come On to Me," Egypt Station's first single, on 20 June 2018. "I Don't Know" is the reverse.
"Egypt Station."
The Egypt Station tracklist:
1. "Opening Station"
2. "I Don't Know"
3. "Come On To Me"
4. "Happy With You"
4. "Who Cares"
5. "Fuh You"
6. "Confidante"
7. "People Want Peace"
8. "Hand In Hand"
9. "Dominoes"
10. "Back In Brazil"
11. "Do It Now"
12. "Caesar Rock "
13. "Despite Repeated Warnings"
14. "Station II"
15. "Hunt You Down/Naked/C-Link"
Paul released "Fuh You" as a single on 15 August 2018.

Q: Where is standard output for android development on Netbeans? I am developing an android app on netbeans.  If, for example, I were to add System.out.println("Hello World") attached to a button click, it does not output anywhere.  Am I missing something basic?
This also means I can never see if exceptions are being thrown or anything.  If my app works it works and if not I am developing 'blind'.  Help?

A: On Android all of those go to the on device logcat.  Not sure how you'd see that with netbeans, but you'd need to hook it up to adb logcat in some fashion.

Childress, Alice
October 12, 1920–August 14, 1994
Considering herself a Charlestonian, she visited the state in 1977 with her husband, with whom she wrote A Sea Island Song, a musical and dramatic tribute to the Gullah culture of the Sea Islands.
Actress, theater director, playwright, novelist. Childress was born in Charleston, South Carolina, on October 12, 1920, to Alonzo Herndon and Florence White. Although she was taken to New York City quite early in her life and raised by her grandmother Eliza Campbell, Childress maintained a connection to the lowcountry through a network of Charlestonians living in Harlem. She did not finish high school, opting instead for a life in the theatre, first working professionally as an actress in 1940, when she joined the American Negro Theater. She eventually rose to director, a position she held for nearly twelve years.
Childress acted in plays on and off Broadway and later in films. Her first one-act play, Florence, was produced in 1949. Just a Little Simple, an adaptation of a Langston Hughes work, followed in 1952. Gold through the Trees, the first play by a black woman to be staged professionally in the American theater, was produced in 1952. Trouble in Mind, about black actors having to play stereotypical black roles created by whites, won an Obie for best Off-Broadway play in 1956, making her the first woman to win that award. Her work paved the way for later black playwrights such as Lorraine Hansberry.
After her first marriage ended in 1957, she married Nathan Woodward, a future collaborator on many projects. She lectured at colleges and universities in the 1960s. Perhaps her most famous play, A Wedding Band, a tale focusing on an interracial love affair in Charleston, circa 1918, premiered at the University of Michigan in 1966. The play was staged by Joseph Papp at the New York Public Shakespeare Theater in 1972 and was televised nationally. A Wedding Band, like many of her other works, enthralled some and angered others, prompting periodic banning. Other dramatic works included The Young Martin Luther King; When the Rattlesnake Sounds; Moms, about Moms Mabley; The World on a Hill, about West Indian life; Wine in the Wilderness, about ghetto and middle-class black youths; Mojo; and String, based on the Guy De Maupassant short story "A Piece of String."
In 1977 Childress published A Short Walk, a novel of a woman growing up in Charleston, going into show business, and ending up in New York. Her better-known novels were for young adults and included A Hero Ain't Nothing But a Sandwich (1973), a compelling look at a drug-addicted youth with no happy endings inferred; its banning was part of a case taken to the U.S. Supreme Court in 1983. Rainbow Jordan (1980), another young adult novel, centered on a daughter perpetually seeking her mother's love. Childress received many national and international awards for individual works and for lifetime achievement.
Considering herself a Charlestonian, she visited the state in 1977 with her husband, with whom she wrote A Sea Island Song, a musical and dramatic tribute to the Gullah culture of the Sea Islands. The Wedding Band was produced in the state at the time, and "Alice Childress Weeks" were proclaimed in Columbia and Charleston. She brought to all of her audiences, theatergoers and readers alike, intelligence and an unflinching but perceptive look at people and their problems, regardless of race. Childress was inducted into the South Carolina Academy of Authors in 1990; she died in Queens, New York, on August 14, 1994.

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers - Long After Dark (1982)

Classic Rock / Southern Rock
Riding high on the back-to-back Top Five, platinum hits Damn the Torpedoes and Hard Promises, Tom Petty quickly returned to the studio to record the Heartbreakers' fifth album, Long After Dark. Truth be told, there was about as long a gap between Dark and Promises as there was between Promises and Torpedoes, but there was a difference this time around - Petty & the Heartbreakers sounded tired. Even if there are a few new wave flourishes here and there, the band hasn't really changed its style at all - it's still Stonesy, Byrdsian heartland rock. As their first four albums illustrated, that isn't a problem in itself, since they've found numerous variations within their signature sound, providing they have the right songs. Unfortunately, Petty had a dry spell on Long After Dark. With its swirling, minor key guitars, "You Got Lucky" is a classic and "Change of Heart" comes close to matching those peaks, but the remaining songs rarely rise above agreeable filler. Since the Heartbreakers are a very good band, it means the record sounds pretty good as it's playing, but apart from those few highlights, nothing much is memorable once the album has finished. And coming on the heels of two excellent records, that's quite a disappointment.
