Odonymie

Le nom de la rue rappelle le souvenir du collège de Foix (ou Saint-Jérôme) dont les bâtiments, occupés désormais par la congrégation des religieuses de Notre-Dame de la Compassion, occupent un vaste quadrilatère entre la rue des Lois, la rue du Collège-de-Foix, la rue Antoine-Deville et la rue Jean-Antoine-Romiguières. D'ailleurs, cette dernière fut aussi connue comme la rue du Collège-de-Foix aux . Ce nom se rencontre dès la fin du  : le collège Saint-Jérôme, créé en 1457, avait eu comme fondateur Pierre de Foix (1386-1464), cardinal (1409), légat du pape (1433-1464) et archevêque d'Arles (1450-1463).

La rue porta parfois, au , le nom de « coin » ou ruelle des Cordeliers : il se rencontre généralement pour les actuelles rues Antoine-Deville et Jean-Antoine-Romiguières. En 1794, pendant la Révolution française, la rue porta le nom de rue Frugalité, mais il ne se conserva pas.

Histoire

Patrimoine et lieux d'intérêt

Collège de Foix
 et .

Le collège de Foix est fondé en 1457 par le cardinal Pierre de Foix. C'est l'un des collèges universitaires les mieux conservés de la ville. Lieu d'enseignement et d'hébergement pour les étudiants pauvres, le bâtiment du  et le cloître sont relativement bien conservés.

Couvent des Cordeliers
 et

Le couvent des Cordeliers est construit au cours du . La première église est construite le long de la rue du Collège-de-Foix vers 1235, puis est agrandie entre 1260 et 1320. Entre 1290 et 1320, le cloître et la salle capitulaire sont élevés au nord de l'église, le long de la rue des Lois.

En 1856, la Banque de France s'installe dans l'enclos des Cordeliers. Elle fait construire son nouveau siège toulousain par l'architecte Henri Bach.

En 1871, un incendie ravage l'église, dont la démolition complète est finalement approuvée par le conseil municipal et achevée en 1874. Seuls subsistent le clocher et le portail occidental, finalement démonté en 1892. En 1920, la Banque de France achète le clocher et les terrains avoisinants. En 1937, le portail est remonté à un nouvel emplacement, le long de la rue du Collège-de-Foix, mais, plusieurs pierres ayant disparu, il n'est reconstitué que partiellement. Deux ans plus tard, le clocher, qui menace de s'écrouler, est restauré.

We can't always be hyper-productive 100% of the time.
Even Elon Musk has days where he's not building rocket ships and just sitting around eating donuts with coffee. I always believed the lie that you have to be hustling your face off every minute of the day to get what you want.
I'm not saying we should all be lazy; what I'm saying is we are all going to have periods where we are lazy.
If you think you're never lazy and always 'ON' then you're lying to yourself.
Ever had a hot shower and stood under there for more than ten minutes? You've just had a moment of laziness.
Ever sat on the couch and done nothing for thirty minutes with your feet up without reading a book on how to improve yourself? You've just had another moment of laziness.
Ever gone and bought a coffee and just sat there drinking it for a really long time? Yep, you guessed it, you've been a bad boy/girl again.
Let me ask you a question though: "How clear were your thoughts during this period of laziness?"
I'm willing to bet your answer is something along the lines of "great, fantastic, amazing, etc."
That's because during moments of laziness you do your best thinking. It's when you're lazy that you can switch off from the pursuit of your goals and think about what the fuck you're actually doing. If you're always running the race, then you can never take a step back and think about the overall strategy.
Many of us spend our entire life constantly chasing goals but never really thinking about what we're doing or why.
If we spent more time in deliberate laziness, then we'd see our life for what it is and be able to make the necessary changes that will take us to the next level.
I find that when I'm being lazy, my deepest thoughts reveal themselves to me.
Standing in the shower as an example and just doing nothing helps me think. It's when I ask myself those really deep life questions like "What the fuck does all this mean when I'm dead?"
The state of mind you need to do deep thinking is not that of a phone full of notifications, overstimulation by the internet and a bottle of vodka. Clear thinking happens when you're being lazy.
Your mind feels like it's free and can do what it wants. Your minds not trying to 'be present' or be creative or solve another business problem. Your mind is just doing nothing at all and that's when it can do the deep thinking that you desperately need to do.
We're crying out to do more deep thinking. We need it more than ever.
"There's so much FOMO that we're exposed to and when we're lazy and do nothing, we can escape societies pressures on us"
In some ways, I've become lazier
I'm doing less than I've ever done before.
I only have two goals for the entire year as opposed to about ten the year before. I've accepted my newfound laziness as a way to think and be creative. By becoming what people perceive as lazy, I've separated the unimportant from the important.
What people see as me being lazy is actually just me being creative. My creativity thrives in nothingness, silence and a bit of laziness.
Productivity has really become unfocused work
The opposite of laziness is productivity. While people look busy at work and we all think we're so efficient because of tech, we're actually more unproductive than ever.
We're doing unfocused work full of distractions and notifications and very little deep work.
The difference with laziness is that it creates leverage in your mind so that it can relax. A relaxed mind can do focused, creative, interesting and deep work.
A stressed mind just tries to do the bare minimum and tick off an endless list of to-do's that lead nowhere. Unfocused work is emotionally painful and even worse than laziness.
The laziness of doing nothing translated into more productivity
Last week I was feeling guilty after three weeks in Europe and no blog posts. My Medium and LinkedIn engagement decreased by two thirds.
I felt guilty because I'd been lazy exploring the world on holiday. You know what's really nuts though? While being completely lazy and doing no blogging at all, I had more ideas than I've ever had. I returned home to Australia with a different approach to blogging and an even deeper why!
While trekking through the coast of Italy and exploring where the 1992 Olympic Games were held, I managed to turn my mind off and stop thinking about blogging. By not thinking about the thing I loved, I came home more productive than ever. The laziness of doing nothing translated into more productivity through increased creativity.
My writing has gone up a level.
My ability to come up with ideas has gotten better.
My formula for blogging has become more efficient.
All this was thanks to laziness and doing nothing at all for three weeks.
Use laziness to think about what matters and then act
"Using laziness as a tool is all well and good but don't mistake this article for a permission slip to become a fat slob and do nothing."
At some point, ideally after your lazy period, you still need to do the work.Laziness without some form of action will not be the panacea you're hoping for. Laziness on its own is not what you are looking for.
Periods of laziness followed by action is the tango dance that works well. A bit from Column A and a bit from Column B. Periods of laziness and periods of work.
I'm no longer afraid to be lazy
When I have a period of my life when I'm lazy, I'm no longer going to be angry about it.
Why? Because I know what follows is some of the best work I've ever done and that's what matters to me.
You have the same opportunity. Don't be afraid to be lazy once in a while. You can't always be ON. Sometimes you have to switch off.
Laziness is a get-out-of-jail-free-card you want to put into your schedule at least once a week.
Hack your productivity. Use laziness to your advantage.

Viewing dragonflies can be done with the naked eye, but I would strongly recommend a pair of close focusing binoculars to make the job easier. Many species can be identified in the wild, but some troublesome species cannot be told apart without in-hand inspection. Some observers choose to catch these and examine them closely. Others choose to enjoy them without putting a name on them.
Dragonflies can be seen perched, either for long or short periods of time. Most perch close to water, hanging on twigs or floating vegetation, or flat on the ground or rocks. Others will soar to great heights or patrol rapidly over the water and are almost impossible to observe. Each species tends to have its own unique set of behaviors.
Some odes are more easily startled than others. Dragonflies are very aware of movement, as anyone who has tried to catch one can tell you. They have the ability to see in many directions at the same time due to their large compound eyes. But their ability to see behind them is limited. So, if you need to approach one, my best advice to you is to approach from the rear.
Your quiet presence will usually not disturb the dragonfly's normal behavior. Take a seat and give them some time to settle back into their normal routine. But be ready if one lands on you or next to you, you'll never get a better look.
Want to know where and when to look for dragonflies?

Far East exercises plan approved
President Vladimir Putin has approved the plan of military exercises to be held in the Russian Far East on August 18-27, 2003.
The president signed the exercises plan and map after the report by Defence Minister Sergei Ivanov and Navy Commander Vladimir Kuroyedov.
Ivanov stressed in his report that 68 ships and craft of the Pacific Fleet, 42 auxiliary ships along with the Transport Ministry and the Russian Hydrometeorology Service would participate in the exercises.
The United States, Canada, China, the two Koreas and Japan have been invited to take part in the exercises as participants and observers.
According to the minister, the exercises are made up of 45 episodes related to counter-terrorism, security and protection of resources with the use of navy and border guards. The 5th army of the Air Force and Air Defence will take part in the exercises and strategic aviation in some of its episodes.
Navy Commander Vladimir Kuroyedov said that the exercises would be consist of three stages - staff work, preparation and build-up of forces and practical work aimed at elimination of threats.

Q: Merge stdout and stderr with Python popen AND detect if stderr is empty I want to run a sub process with popen that can send messages to both stdout and stderr, but that sub process will continue along it's merry way despite writing to stderr.
I want to stream stdout and stderr together so I get the output in the exact order it occurred (or was flushed I guess technically).  Then, I want to log that full result set.  BUT I also want to independently know if stderr is empty.  If it is not, I'm going to throw an exception.
It is clear to me how I can get them separately, or merged together, but how can I perhaps do both?

A: First off I solved my actual use case in large part by digging further into the process producing the streams.  I was using the MySQL client, and found the right combination of command line switches would solve the real goals.  I'll leave that out since it's entirely specific to that situation.
Before I came upon that, however, I did find a very useful direction to explore - the use of the program "Tee" and / or a Python source equivalent.  I did not try to implement it, but is seems like a method one could use to simultaneously collect the output from both stdout and stderr, while sending just stdout to another file descriptor.  If the two outputs are not the same, then that would tell you if stderr was utilized.

Is there anything better than a big bowl of Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream on a hot summer's day? I have fond memories of biking to our local dairy (Pembroke residents will know the iconic Brum's Dairy). My friend and I used to get big scoops of Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream in a waffle cone. It was our favourite. The flavours bring me back to my childhood summers.
I love making my own no-churn ice cream. I own an ice cream maker, but I rarely use it. No-churn ice cream is just too much simpler that I can't be bothered. The hardest thing is waiting for it to freeze!
Today is Chocolate Ice Cream day so I wanted to share something that you could make to celebrate this special occasion. This Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream is easy to make and so delicious to eat. It has just the right amount of minty flavour blended in with a pop of chocolate from the milk chocolate chips.
I had some friends over the day after I made this recipe. My friend, Tina, said that it was "the best ice cream she has ever tasted". Wow! That made me feel happy because I want people to enjoy the recipes I share.
Expect each bite to be creamy, minty and sweet. You can use your own homemade mint extract if you like.
The green colour is from green food colouring. I didn't specify the amount of drops to use in the recipe below because it will depend on the type of food colouring you use. Some are more potent than others. I recommend adding a few drops and then stirring to see if you like the colour. Keep adding drops until you research the green you like.
You could also leave out the food colouring and it won't affect the flavour. It just won't look minty green.
Like I said, this recipe requires NO ice cream maker.
In a large bowl, beat the whipping cream on medium speed for 4 minutes or until it starts to form soft peaks. Reduce the speed to low and pour in the sweetened condensed milk. Beat until it's combined.
Stir in the mint extract, green food colouring and chocolate chips.
Pour mixture into a freezer safe container. I like the Rubbermaid Brilliance containers. Put in the freezer for at least 8 hours. I leave mine in there overnight.
For more no-churn ice cream recipes, try my Maple Pecan Ice Cream, Toasted Marshmallow Ice Cream or Chocolate Cake Ice Cream.
You might also like these chocolate ice cream inspired recipes for Chocolate Ice Cream day shared by my blogger friends.
Perfectly minty and sweet with a hint of chocolatey deliciousness. This easy no-churn ice cream recipe couldn't be any simpler to make.
Beat whipping cream on medium speed for 4 minutes or until it starts to form soft peaks. Reduce speed to low and add in sweetened condensed milk. Beat until combined.
Stir in mint extract, green food colouring and chocolate chips.
Oh my goodness this looks to-die-for! Ice cream is my weakness!
I have always loved mint chocolate ice cream. This recipe is so simple. I can see that the hard part would be to wait for it to freeze! I do like that I don't need an ice cream maker to make this recipe. Thank you for sharing at A Round Tuit.
YUM! I need this in my life!
That is my daughter's very favourite 'special' flavour of ice cream! Chocolate is her favourite everyday one, make sense out of that, lol.
I haven't had mint chocolate chip ice cream in ages and have never thought to make it myself! Yum!
Yum, my favourite flavour of ice cream, thanks for the recipe.
My favourite ice cream 🙂 have never tried making my own before but it doesn't seem too difficult . Would be a great weekend to give it a shot . Thanks for sharing the recipe .
Looks and sounds delicious! If you did want to make it in an ice cream maker so I dont have to wait the 8 hours how would I go about doing that? Thanks for sharing!

Gemphire Therapeutics Reports Second Quarter 2019 Financial Results and Provides Corporate Update
Aug. 9, 2019, 08:00 AM
LIVONIA, Mich., Aug. 09, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Gemphire Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ:GEMP), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing and commercializing therapies for the treatment of dyslipidemia, a serious medical condition that increases the risk of life-threatening cardiovascular disease, focused on orphan indications, as well as nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD/NASH), today announced financial results for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2019, and provided a corporate update.
"2019 is shaping up to be a year of transition for us. On July 24th, we announced the signing of a merger agreement with NeuroBo Pharmaceuticals, Inc. for an all-stock transaction expected to close later this year," noted Steven Gullans, Ph.D., CEO of Gemphire. "Concomitantly, we announced an out-licensing deal with Beijing SL Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd for the rights to gemcabene in mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan. We are delighted about both of these opportunities as we believe that they will provide value for our shareholders."
Proposed Merger with NeuroBo Highlights
Immediately following the merger, Gemphire security holders are expected to own 4.06% of the post-merger company and NeuroBo security holders are expected to own 95.94% of the post-merger company on a fully-diluted basis (subject to adjustment based on Gemphire's net cash balance and the amount of additional financing proceeds received by NeuroBo above the minimum required amount and up to and including $50 million).
Pre-closing financing by NeuroBo with approximately $24 million of gross proceeds already received.
The merger includes contingent value rights (CVRs) for existing Gemphire stockholders entitling them to receive certain cash payments in the event the gemcabene assets are sold or licensed during the CVR period.
The post-merger company will be led by John L. Brooks, III, President & CEO of NeuroBo, and the post-merger Board of Directors will be 6 directors, including Steven Gullans, Ph.D., Gemphire's current President & CEO.
The merger is expected to close in the second half of 2019, subject to the approval of the stockholders of each company, as well as other closing conditions.
Beijing SL Outlicensing Partnership Highlights
In exchange for the rights to gemcabene, Gemphire will receive an upfront payment of $2.5 million as well as potential future milestone payments and royalties if certain development and commercialization milestones are met.
Beijing SL has committed to pursue a Phase 3 clinical trial program for patients with Homozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia and potentially other indications in China.
The Beijing SL deal expands the future possibilities to advance gemcabene into the Chinese market.
Second Quarter 2019 Corporate Highlights
Announced top-line results of Proof-of-Concept (POC) Phase 2 trial investigating gemcabene in Familial Partial Lipodystrophy Disease (FPLD)
Gemcabene treatment resulted in a median change in serum triglycerides (TG) of -19.6% for the five patients at twelve weeks (the primary endpoint). The range of TG responses was +40.4 % to -52.9%, with three patients showing decreases.
Secondary endpoints included measurement of liver fat fraction by MRI-PDFF which showed reduction in 2 of the 3 responding patients.
Four patients completed treatment and a fifth one discontinued at 22 weeks (with data carried forward as 24 weeks).
Gemcabene appeared to be generally safe and well-tolerated in these five patients. There was one serious adverse event of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, considered unrelated to gemcabene.
FPLD is considered an orphan indication and represents a large clinical unmet need.
Continued activities to address FDA requests related to the partial clinical hold
In Q3 2018, Gemphire's request to the FDA to lift the partial clinical hold on gemcabene was denied and the FDA requested additional information in order to resubmit.
Gemphire is currently collecting and collating additional information including a subchronic (13 week) study of gemcabene in PPARα knockout mice and a study of gemcabene in in vitro PPAR transactivation assays using monkey and canine PPAR isoforms.
Gemphire expects to submit additional information to the FDA in the fourth quarter of 2019 to request that it lift the partial clinical hold, assuming the proposed merger is consummated in a timely fashion.
Second Quarter 2019 Financial Update
General and administrative expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 were $1.1 million and $2.5 million, respectively, compared to $2.6 million and $4.7 million, respectively, for the comparable periods of the prior year. The decrease in expenses from the comparable periods in 2018 was largely due to a reduction in support activities, focused primarily on personnel costs and professional services, related to our ongoing clinical trials.
Research and development expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 were $1.2 million and $2.6 million, respectively, compared to $4.0 million and $8.9 million for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2018, respectively. The decrease year over year was primarily attributable to reduced clinical trial activities in the second quarter and first six months of 2019 versus the comparable periods in 2018.
Net loss attributable to common stockholders for the second quarter ended June 30, 2019 was $2.9 million, or ($0.20) per share, compared to $6.7 million, or ($0.47) per share, for the second quarter ended June 30, 2018. Net loss attributable to common stockholders for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was $6.7 million, or ($0.47) per share, compared to $13.9 million, or ($1.04) per share, for the six months ended June 30, 2018.
At June 30, 2019, the company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $3.6 million. Based on current projections, the Company believes it has sufficient resources to fund operations into the third quarter of 2019. Management believes, if the proposed merger is not consummated in a timely fashion, Gemphire would need to raise additional capital to continue its operations thereafter, including submission of the additional information requested by the FDA to make a decision regarding lifting the partial clinical hold. Additional financing may not be available in a timely manner, on favorable terms or at all.

A Review of the University of Wyoming in Laramie, Wyoming: An Education in the Wild West
A review of the University of Wyoming, Laramie, Wyoming is, at least in part, a chance to flirt with fantasy. Have you always had a real love for all things western? Did you grow up wishing you had the chance to be a cowboy or a cowgirl? It's not so strange really. The West has a gigantic appeal to many Americans. The beauty and immensity of the land and all its features calls many of us to at least vacation out West. Why not combine your childhood fantasy with the need to complete a four year college education. A review of the University of Wyoming, Laramie, Wyoming may tune you in to just the location for meeting your educational needs and budgetary constraints.
From Out of the Old West. The history of the University of Wyoming is really a mirror image of the development of the Old West. In 1886 when the school was established, the town of Laramie was just a small railroad town and Wyoming was only a territory. As Laramie expanded and Wyoming became a state, the size and status of the University of Wyoming changed as well.
Because the University of Wyoming was a land grant college it was responsible for helping to develop area agriculture and also had a duty to permit military development and training on campus. These two factors had much to do with the early curriculum and university composition in its early days. Today's curriculum continues to offer opportunities for agricultural training and study. After more than a century of development the University of Wyoming is home to approximately 9,000 undergraduate students and is the only state supported institution of higher education in the state of Wyoming.
A Cowboy Curriculum? If you are considering education at the the University of Wyoming undoubtedly people will ask you if you are training to become a cowboy. All kidding aside, when you review the University of Wyoming, Laramie, Wyoming you will want to know if the academic offerings meet your needs. It is both natural and correct to assume that there are programs of study here that are still very much connected with the land. Under the university of umbrella, Wyoming University incorporates its own College of Agriculture. A further look will show you that at the University of Wyoming there is also a College of Arts and Sciences and colleges for engineering and applied science, education, health, business.
While you may be coming to the state many people associate with the cowboy and his horse, the University of Wyoming statistics actually show a much different profile of what students come to the university to lean. Roughly a third of all those enrolled at the University of Wyoming are studying to prepare for a career in either the world of business or education. You can come to the University of Wyoming to learn about the land and the wide open spaces of the West, but these are not the programs that necessarily drive the student body at the University of Wyoming.
Who Comes to Laramie to Learn. It is also sensible for one who is trying to review the University of Wyoming to consider the kinds of students who routinely come to this school. If you are going to live at a school for four years, learning about your potential classmates just makes good sense. One thing that is quickly obvious is that the University of Wyoming does not seem to attract lots of people of color. School statistics would bear out the fact that this is not a school that can promise you a widely diverse student body.
What is diverse at the University of Wyoming is the state of origin of students who come here. Knowing that the University of Wyoming is the only state supported school for higher education in the state might lead you to believe that this is a school that is full of Wyoming residents. In fact it may come as a bit of a surprise that about half of the student body is made up of young men and women who come to Wyoming from other states.
Another characteristic of the students who make up the student body at the University of Wyoming is their academic achievement. At the University of Wyoming you will be going to classes with young people who are used to being academically successful. This is not a school for low college board scores. Half of the young people who eventually enroll at the University of Wyoming graduated in the top quarter of their high school class. This is not MIT or Harvard but do not think that because the University of Wyoming is located in one of the most sparsely populated states in the nation that you can come here and just get by.
What's Special about the University of Wyoming. Despite its old West location, the University of Wyoming offers many of the traditional undergraduate activities that you would find in Massachusetts, North Carolina or Michigan. There is surprisingly enough Greek Life in Wyoming. There is also student government, club sports, service organizations, ethnic clubs, performing arts groups and religious organizations.
Young women and men compete in NCAA intercollegiate athletics in a variety of sports. Some varsity teams play at the NCAA Division I level and bring top notch college matches onto the campus. The school is not without its post season heroes and there have been league championships brought home to Laramie.
As a state supported university, the University of Wyoming offers a college education at a fraction of what one might pay in private schools elsewhere in the country. Even out of state students will find the tuition at the University of Wyoming competitive.
But what is really special about the University for many students isn't the academics, the activities, or the cost. What is really special about the University of Wyoming is that when you come here you wake up every morning in the midst of one beautiful state. The wide open spaces, the great national parks, the feel of the West cannot be duplicated. If your fantasy has always been to spend time in the West, a review of the University of Wyoming might convince you to come and spend four years here.


The Science of Vaastu is based essentially on directions. As such, a thorough knowledge of directions and their significance, according to Vaastu, is imperative when constructing a building. Further, to get your Vaastu absolutely right, you have to understand the implications of the East and the West directions.
In olden days, people minutely observed the shadows cast by the sun in order to check directions. Today, however, a magnetic compass is used to confirm directions. While there are ten directions in total, a compass can verify only eight of these.
A compass covers a total of 360 degrees with its radius, with 45 degrees allotted to each of the eight directions. Checking the level of degree within each direction is also an important aspect of Vaastu.
As mentioned above, there are a total of ten directions. The four main directions are North, South, East and West. There are four sub-directions, which comprise the corners.
The remaining two directions are Space (Udharv) and Centre.

Volunteer Profile: University of Kentucky Habitat for Humanity
Dot's Diner Gives Back
DREAM HOMES: New Orleans Area Habitat for Humanity celebrates 30 years
Volunteer Profile: The Breaux Family
From Partnership to Homeownership
Whitney Jett is a NOAHH partner family who started her partnership in June 2016. NOAHH will be following her story through the entire partnership and hopefully beyond. Part 4 is about her sweat equity in the ReStore and how she chose her lot. Click for Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3.
In June, Whitney Jett began her partnership. She completed her first 50 hours of sweat equity quickly in the ReStore, bringing her mother and stepfather out to help her. After 50 hours, all partner families can select the lot where their homes will be built from the list of properties owned by NOAHH. Whitney quickly started doing research on the lots. While working her hours, she also met other partner families, including Pamala Adams, with whom she coordinated her lot choice. They each had their own special reasons for picking where they did–Pam wanted a camelback house where she could entertain guests, and Whitney wanted a bigger lot.
"We just want to have a house and want to have a good neighborhood," she said. "It's like everybody is on the same page. We're all gonna be friends. I think we're gonna look out for each other."
Whitney's lot is on America Street, where NOAHH has been building for several years. Over the last five years, this area has been transformed from blighted properties to empty lots to a thriving neighborhood. This change made a difference for Whitney.
"I narrowed down the lot to America Street before I even went to that street," she said. "The street had a reputation, apparently. When we first talked about it, it was like, 'Dale Street, America Street? Oh, that neighborhood's rough.' I thought, 'Well, not according to the crime map.' And then we actually drove through, and it's like, 'Oh, yes, this is where we're going. It's a lot better.'
"When we first drove through, I saw the beginning of the street from Chef [Menteur Highway] is still kinda the older houses. This neighborhood is a little sketchy, but I had already looked at the crime map. I knew this spot was good. So you go up the street, and it's like newer houses, newer houses, and then you get towards Dwyer, and it's all Habitat houses–like, whoa! I'm among friends. Then I got the newsletter, and I think there was a section that said 'How You've Changed America Street.' I saw the before and after, and I said, 'See! I get it. That's exactly what it used to look like.' I'm enthusiastic about it now."
Whitney still has a few more hours in the ReStore. She comes most Saturdays with at least one family member–partner families are allowed up to three people with them when they volunteer, and each person's hours count for sweat equity.
"The hard part is keeping them [her mom and stepdad] from shopping," Whitney said. "The last time we were here, it's like, oh look at these doors, these little handles, I can put these on the drawers at home. Mom, we didn't come here to shop."
Soon she will begin her hours on the build site. She and her mother are looking forward to the day when they're helping build Whitney's home, which is one of the parts of the program that attracted her to it. She has experience with DIY projects and looks forward to volunteering on site as a learning opportunity–and as a source of satisfaction.
"I get to build my house? Yeah!" she said. "'Cause then it really feels like I did this. It's not like oh some people built a house and now I bought it. No, it's like I had an active part in doing so. I can walk in and say I put that nail there.
"I guess before Katrina and all that I had my room, and that was my sanctuary. I could just close the door and block myself off from the rest of the house and everything was good. It's kinda like when Katrina took that away, I feel like I never really got it back. Even moving to California and having my own apartment, it still didn't quite feel like it was mine. Even moving back home, it's not quite my room right now. It never really quite feels like it's my room. Especially if I have to share it with visitors coming to town. My only solution is to have a house where I can just say get out of my house and mean it. This is mine! It's great. It's about ownership, just–like a mental ownership. This might be mine, but I need it to feel like it's mine. I need to walk in the door and know nobody else is in here, nothing. It's great. I run this. I'm the queen of this castle. I want it to be my little castle room again."
Her mother once more echoes her sentiments, and credits her own father with it as well. "Home is my space. My zone. My dad always taught me that's where my structure comes from. He always told us no matter what goes on with your day, that's your space. You close the door, turn the key, get in the house, and you just shut the world off. You do you. Reset. My dad always taught us it's your home, you own it. Don't let somebody come in and run it for you."

China's ruling Communist Party is seriously considering a delay in its upcoming five-yearly congress by a few months amid internal debate over the size and makeup of its top decision-making body, sources said, as the party struggles to finalise a once-in-a-decade leadership change.
The two most senior posts, of president and premier, are not considered in much doubt. But any delay in the congress, no matter the official reason, would likely fuel speculation of infighting over the remaining seats in the nine-member politburo standing committee which calls the shots in China.
The makeup of those remaining positions could in turn influence the ability of the incoming new president, Xi Jinping, to forge a consensus among those immediately below him on how to run the world's second-largest economy and a military superpower.


As its name suggests the Ambassador Suite with sea view and personal pool holds a special place within the resort and features much more than expected.

A true masterpiece for exclusive use!


The start of a brand new year has me in a reflective mood. One of my favorite events of 2016 was Lillian's first birthday. The first birthday is not only a celebration for the little one, but for the parents as well. We all survived an entire year. In some cultures, the mother and baby don't even leave the house for the first year, and the baby's first birthday is sort of a coming out party. In other words, it's a big deal.
I may have gone a bit overboard for Lillian's first birthday, but I had so much fun planning it that once I started coming up with ideas I couldn't stop! In honor of Abbey, our cocker spaniel and Lillian's best friend, we decided to have a Lady and the Tramp/puppy themed party.
My first order of business was to commission a cake from Sugar Leaf Treats in Branson, Missouri. They made our wedding cake and every single thing they create is incredible. Their cakes taste even better than they look, which is saying a lot.
I mean... major heart eyes for this cake.
Lillian had a separate little smash cake that looked like Lady's hat box.
I got crafty and built this cute little doghouse out of a cardboard box. Lillian didn't want anything to do with it, but at least her cousins enjoyed playing in it. I still can't bring myself to toss it out, so it's currently sitting in my basement collecting dust. I also put together the fun tutu decoration and collar name tag for Lillian's high chair, since I knew we'd be taking a lot of pictures while she ate her cake.
I found this adorable banner on Etsy, but I think it would be pretty easy to make out of an old Little Golden book. I also found some Lady and the Tramp wooden blocks on Etsy that I used as table decor and then gave to Lillian as part of her birthday gift.
For party favors, I bought an assortment of plush puppies from Oriental Trading, and set up a dog pound where the kids could adopt a puppy. We had adoption certificates and supplies to make a collar for their new pup. The kids also enjoyed watching Lady and the Tramp which we played in the background throughout the party.
In keeping with our Lady and the Tramp theme, we served spaghetti and meatballs, which, in hindsight was maybe not the best idea for a kids party, but it sure was tasty. We also used bone shaped cookie cutters to create a kid-friendly meat, cheese, and cracker tray.
Of course the birthday girl had to have some special outfits. She greeted everyone in a sweet little poplin dress from Janie and Jack, with a Lady and the Tramp bow I bought on Etsy. It just so happens we also found a matching purse at Target that reminded me of Lady's hatbox!
For her cake smash, Lillian wore a purple tutu with a chunky necklace and her precious little birthday crown.
Post smash, she wore a glittery "one" onesie that we got at a local boutique.
Yes, she had 3 wardrobe changes. No, I'm not sorry.
I do plan to tone things down for Lillian's second birthday this year, but I had such a blast planning her first birthday that I'm not sure I can hold to that promise! As long as her family and friends are there to celebrate with us, that's all that really matters at the end of the day.

Q: C++ Type, Function, And Value Aliasing For Potentially Undefined Types Suppose I have two libraries, let's arbitrarily call them "CUDA" and "HIP". These two libraries just so happen to have eerily similar interfaces, and I want to wrap these interfaces into a templated class where the template parameter defines which library is called. My current implementation is (in an abridged form):
#define ALIAS_FUNCTION(Alias_,Original_)              \
  template <typename... Args> Alias_(Args&&... args)  \
  -> decltype(Original_(std::forward<Args>(args)...)) \
  { return Original_(std::forward<Args>(args)...); }

enum class Selector {CUDA,HIP};

template <Selector T> struct Interface;

#if (havecuda)
#  include <cuda_headers.h>
template <>
struct Interface<Selector::CUDA>
{
  using error_type = cudaError_t;
  static const auto success = cudaSuccess;

  ALIAS_FUNCTION(static constexpr getLastError,cudaGetLastError);
};
#endif

#if (havehip)
#  include <hip_headers.h>
template <>
struct Interface<Selector::HIP>
{
  using error_type = hipError_t;
  static const auto success = hipSuccess;

  ALIAS_FUNCTION(static constexpr getLastError,hipGetLastError);
};
#endif

While this works it is extremely painful to maintain, as I need to duplicate every alias, as well as make sure a fair chunk of boilerplate is correct. Not to mention the macros. What I want ideally is keep it all in one definition so something like:
template <Selector T>
struct Interface
{
  using error_type = std::conditional<T==Selector::CUDA,cudaError_t,hipError_t>;
  // do something similar to solve the function and variable aliasing
};

but alas std::conditional requires both types to be at least declared. Is there a cleverer solution here? It should ideally also be C++11.
edit: (just to answer the comments questions more visibly)
The idea of the Interface class is that there are other classes which derive from it (assuming one of havecuda or havehip or both is true) in order to gain access to the types:
template <Selector T>
class DoWork : Interface<T>
{
  using typename Interface<T>::error_type;
  using Interface<T>::success;
  using Interface<T>::getLastError;

  void work()
  {
    error_type err;
    if (getLastError() != success) {
      // something else
    }
  }
};

// instantiate the work classes if available
#if havecuda
template class DoWork<Selector::CUDA>;
#endif
#if havehip
template class DoWork<Selector::HIP>;
#endif

A: How about forming an overload set of the different implementations? This solution does not even require a class template (although you can still add it back in, if you don't mind the additional boilerplate).
#define TAGGED_ALIAS_FUNCTION(Tag_, Alias_,Original_)            \
  template <typename... Args> auto Alias_(Tag_, Args&&... args)  \
  -> decltype(Original_(std::forward<Args>(args)...))            \
  { return Original_(std::forward<Args>(args)...);}

namespace Selector {
    struct CUDA {};
    struct HIP {};
}

#if (havecuda)
#include <cuda_headers.h>
  TAGGED_ALIAS_FUNCTION(Selector::CUDA, static constexpr getLastError,cudaGetLastError);
#endif

#if (havehip)
  TAGGED_ALIAS_FUNCTION(Selector::HIP, static constexpr getLastError,hipGetLastError);
#endif

template<typename Selector_T>
void myFunction()
{
   auto const last_error = getLastError(Selector_T{});
}

City's UEFA Cup hero ready to do it all again back at Gigg Lane next week
7th January 2008 By Latest News Leave a Comment
Former City UEFA Cup hero Colin Woodthorpe was promising his former employers another game and a half back at Gigg Lane next week after the Shakers came within ten minutes of dumping the Carrow Road club out of this season's FA Cup competition at the first hurdle.
Andy Bishop's controversial opener on 70 minutes had put Bury firmly in the driving seat as the Championship hosts drove boss Glenn Roeder to distraction by spurning chance after chance and it took Gary Doherty's scrambled effort ten minutes from time to finally break the Shakers' brave resistance and keep Norwich City's name in today's fourth round draw.
"It was good," said Woodthorpe, as the 38-year-old veteran of the San Siro rolled back the years to keep the Canaries at bay.
"It was lovely to come back here. I spent four great years here in the 90s and it's a fantastic place to come and play," said the one-time Chester City youngster, who proved an able understudy on the left-hand side of the Norwich defence that year.
He was quick to point out that he was still 38 – his 39th birthday comes in a couple of weeks time. It did, however, make him the oldest player on the pitch as he beat City's Dion Dublin. And with Colchester United's Teddy Sheringham bowing out courtesy of the Us 3-1 home defeat by East Anglian neighbours Peterborough United, Woodthorpe is likely to be the oldest outfield player left in the competition.
"I'm not 39 yet – I'm 39 in a couple of weeks. I am older than Dion though – his birthday is in April; I checked that in the programme – but I felt fine today. And that's the guage. If you're not feeling great then you're not going to continue playing."
Slammed in alongside Shakers' 32-year-old skipper Dave Challinor, the veteran Bury pair used all their Football League experience to keep the Curetons, the martins and the Huckerbys under wraps – even if all three would have big, big chances to win the tie before the 90 minutes was up.
"We kept the crowd quiet and were hoping to get in at half-time at 0-0 – as you would do at any away game," said Woodthorpe. "And then anything can happen in the second-half."
As it almost did once Bishop had found himself all alone – and two yards offside, according to City boss Roeder – at the far post and in a perfect position to thump a header home beyond David Marshall.
"If you get 1-0 up with 20 minutes to go then you've got to see what you can do," said Woodthorpe, about to come face to face with City's own 38-year-old veteran.
"They put Dion up front and he's a handful – he's made fools out of better players than us. And in the air his ability is beyond question, so it was always going to be difficult," said Woodthorpe.
The Shakers arrived in Norfolk without a win to their name in their last six league games and with young boss Chris Casper under growing pressure. And had Martin's free header nicked in after 43 seconds, so northern hearts may well have dropped. In the event, however, Bury grew in confidence and thoroughly deserved a second bite at the cherry. As Woodthorpe noted, football is all too often about those fine lines – that header nicking six inches inside the post as opposed to six inches outside it.
"It's fine lines. We've gone from an eight or nine unbeaten stretch and then we were losing by the odd goal. And if you can put your finger on it, then you're a better man than me.
"It's fine margins – some things were just not going for us. You go through these runs, but we were confident. We weren't getting turned over by a lot of goals. It was just the odd thing – a couple of games we were beaten in the last minute by wonder goals and there's not a lot that you can do about that except keep on going."
This time last year and Bury's FA Cup adventure came to an abrupt halt when the Shakers were adjudged to have fielded an ineligible player – the on-loan Stephen Turnbull from Hartlepool. Their second round success over Chester City – and a ticket to Portman Road for the third round – was wiped out.
"It would rankle – it's paperwork. We would have ended up with Ipswich and possibly have got the same result that Chester did – they got a draw and got a replay," said Woodthorpe, with Town's Norfolk neighbours now providing Gigg Lane's third round guests.
"You never can tell," said Woodthorpe, quizzed as to the Shakers' hopes next week. "It's whatever team turns up on the night and who wants it more.
"It's not going to be an easy game for either team. They're probably wishing that they could do without the replay; they'd have wanted it dead and buried today, but we go again.
"We knew that we were going to give them a game today and the same thing is going to happen again. We'll give them a game and it depends who wants it more on the night. They've got to come and beat us; we've got to go home, get together and beat them. So it's going to be an interesting, little tricky one."

Q: Print Message Inline Assembly I'm trying to print a simple hello world string to the console in inline assembly. My assembly (below) works perfectly fine. I tried translating it into GAS as best as possible but putting the variables into the registers through extended assembly proved rather difficult. From what I can tell, the printmsg function doesn't actually do/print anything.
Assembly:
section .text
   global _start

_start:
    ; Write string to stdout
    mov eax, 4
    mov ebx, 1
    mov ecx, string
    mov edx, strlen
    int 0x80

    ; Exit
    mov eax, 1
    mov ebx, 0
    int 0x80

section .data
    string  db 'Hello, World!',10
    strlen equ $ -  string

C:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

void printmsg(char *msg, int len){
    asm(    "movl $4, %eax;"
            "movl $1, %ebx;"
       );
    asm(    "movl %1, %%ecx;"
            "movl %1, %%edx;"
            :
            : "c" (msg), "d" (len)
        );
    asm("int $0x80");
}

int main(){
    char *msg = "Hello, world!";
    int len = strlen(msg);

    printf("Len is %d\n*msg is %s\n", len, msg);

    /* Print msg */
    printmsg(msg, len);

    /* Exit */
    asm(    "movl $1,%eax;"
            "xorl %ebx,%ebx;"
            "int  $0x80"
    );
}

A: Using Michael's extended assembly example:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

void printmsg(char *string, int length){

    asm(    "int $0x80\n\t"
            :
            :"a"(4), "b"(1), "c"(string), "d"(length)
       );

}

int main(){

    char *string = "Hello, world!\n";
    int variable = strlen(string);

    /* Print msg */
    printmsg(string, variable);

    /* Exit */
    asm(    "movl $1,%eax;"
        "xorl %ebx,%ebx;"
        "int  $0x80"
    );

}

Q: Python: How do i convert data in text file into a dictionary? Python: How do i convert data in text file into a dictionary?
I have lines of data in my text file i.e.: name = score
How would i convert this information into a dictionary?
Title says it all. Please help me.
with open(filepath, 'r') as file:
    list = []
    for line in file:
        list.append(line[1:-1].split(","))

My input format:
Kik = 4
Lolol = 3
Kiko = 8
Darkling = 1
Johnny = 10

A: if you have file
name1 = value1
name2 = value2
name3 = value3
name4 = value4
import re

d = {}

with open('data', 'r') as f:

    for line in f:

        line =   re.sub('\s', '', line)

        key, value = line.split('=')

        d[key] = value

for el in d.items():

    print(el)

('name1', 'value1')
('name4', 'value4')
('name2', 'value2')
('name3', 'value3')

A: You just need to split and strip:
with open("test.txt") as f:
    scores_dct = {name.strip(): sco.strip() for line in f
                  for name, sco in (line.split("="),)}
print(scores_dct)
'Kik': '4', 'Lolol': '3', 'Kiko': '8', 'Darkling': '1', 'Johnny': '10'}

Or using dict with map:
with open("test.txt") as f:
    scores_dct = dict(map(str.strip,line.split("=")) for line in f)
    print(scores_dct)
{'Kik': '4', 'Lolol': '3', 'Kiko': '8', 'Darkling': '1', 'Johnny': '10'}

Does this sound familiar? You work hard all day, then you out at night for work or social functions and by the time you start dinner it is 10:00 pm? Or maybe your job has you getting off late and you do not get to think about eating until late. Maybe after a night on the town, you realize you did not eat dinner, can you get something healthy at midnight? Luckily, the answer is yes. Restaurants that serve fresh chicken kitchen meals can get you something healthy and tasty late at night. Here are some tips that make eating late at night just as healthy as eating earlier in the evening.

Aba of the Jungle (Unaired Pilot)
Aba of the Jungle was an adventure television show pilot that was produced for CBS in 1962.
The show was about a white man named Aba (portrayed by John Carroll) who was raised by a native African tribe after his parents were killed in a plane crash and he defends the tribe from evil doers.
The pilot also starred actors Wayde Preston and Jill Jatmyn. The idea was scrapped for unkown reasons. A VHS rip has been stuck in limbo, and no screenshots exist onine.

"I think the President was trying to keep us from finding out, so we all wouldn't freak out."
Chantal Guerrero, one of the children in the classroom where President Bush was reading "My Pet Goat" on September 11, 2001. Guerrero was 7 at the time and is now 16.
Another girl from the class, Mariah Williams, says:
"I don't remember the story we were reading — was it about pigs? But I'll always remember watching his face turn red. He got really serious all of a sudden. But I was clueless. I was just 7. I'm just glad he didn't get up and leave, because then I would have been more scared and confused."
Do these kids know how much people have abused Bush over the years for what, to them, was the care he took? Yes.
One thing the students would like to tell Bush's critics — like liberal filmmaker Michael Moore, whose 2004 documentary Fahrenheit 911 disparaged Bush for lingering almost 10 minutes with the students after getting word that two planes had crashed into the World Trade Center — is that they think the President did the right thing. "I think he was trying to keep everybody calm, starting with us," says Guerrero. Dubrocq agrees: "I think he was trying to protect us." Booker Principal Gwendolyn Tose-Rigell, who died in 2007, later insisted, "I don't think anyone could have handled it better. What would it have served if [Bush] had jumped out of his chair and ran out of the room?

Yesterday I read on Ace that the seven minute delay was for Secret Service to prepare the vehicles and arrange a hasty exit. But that doesn't sound right. Admit it, the thing looked feckless regardless of Michael Moore saying so. Com'on, seven minutes is a long time.

Who knew those little kids would all grow up to be such racists?
Not only was Bush a better president than his critics gave him credit for, he is a better human being than most of his critics.
Tyrone Slothrop said...
The left back then didn't take long in showing that they really cared a lot more about damaging W than they did for the good of their country. Contrast that with the vast majority of conservatives praising Obama for finally showing some guts.
PS== Well said, KenK, as long as you aren't including /sarc in your comment
I didn't begrudge Bush for this. But I'm not a typical liberal. However, I will say the nuance that is being presented here is not the kind of nuance that partisans ever show to a president they hate.
Bush was criticized for everything he did by liberals and given the benefit of the doubt by conservatives. Obama is critized for everything he does by conservatives and given the benefit of the doubt by liberals.
It's the same old story....
A little different from Little Zero needing to "sleep on it" before making the decision to go.
If he did at all.
Obviously Bush didn't undertand then and these children don't understand now that we have a new paradigm. For important decisions the President must wait 16 hours.
There are times when it's, bot,h refreshing and gratifying to learn my view of reality is accurate.
This is one of those times.
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
But make allowance for their doubting too:
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;
If you can dream---and not make dreams your master;
If you can think---and not make thoughts your aim,
And treat those two impostors just the same:.
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
And stoop and build'em up with worn-out tools;
And lose, and start again at your beginnings,
And never breathe a word about your loss:
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"
Or walk with Kings---nor lose the common touch,
If all men count with you, but none too much:
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And---which is more---you'll be a Man, my son!

He may not have done the right thing but he didn't do the wrong thing. Nothing changed in those few minutes that he could've impacted. Obama would have finished the hole or maybe even the front nine.

The left might as well have raised a banner reading "we are so utterly without reason or integrity we'll pretend this is an issue because partisan politics is more important to us than defending America".
No justification of the seven minutes is necessary. Let the fools show everyone how small they are.
Chase said...
After they die, all of the Bush haters can yuk it up with Osama Bin Laden. Osama can tell them how he hid for so long, the Bush haters can tell Osama that he's evil, but at least not as evil as Bush.
Then they can go back to their eternal weeping and gnashing of teeth in the blackness of darkness in the lake of fire reserved for the devil and his angels and those that follow him.
Justice.
Chip, by the time he finished your speech and said goodbye to all the kids ten minutes would have passed. Just about as many minutes as it took him to finish reading the story (it wasn't a Francis Bacon essay, you know) and take his leave in the way he actually did. Sometimes I think what really frosts the anti-Bush crowd's shorts is that he stayed low-key instead of acting all impressive and important. In their minds a proper leader is someone who is always reminding someone that he is Important and has Important things to do. You know, like Obama does. Now he's Presidential. Bush was too mundane and ordinary.
Rialby said...
7 Minutes!!!!
The Alinsky method of ridicule aimed at Bush by experts in the tactic never made any sense to a thinker. It was a stupid idea to accuse Bush of something done poorly when he was really doing it all right. That reminds me of the anti-Obama ridicule industry desperately mouthing strange ideas to slander Obama the last 2 days, such as Levin and Hannity. Why can't they withdraw themselves from such arrogance. It only destroys their credibility.
E.M. Davis said...
The kids are alright.
Excuse me, Children, I would like very much to finish reading this book to you, but something very important has just come up and I must now leave. That happens when you're president. It's been a pleasure coming here. Thank you for having me."
I think that still would have freaked the children out.
WV: Micker. See also, Birther.
"Yesterday I read on Ace that the seven minute delay was for Secret Service to prepare the vehicles and arrange a hasty exit. But that doesn't sound right."
It sounds about right to me, As I recall, in all the confusion, the White House did not immediately have a full understanding of the nature and scope of the attack. Since they had to consider whether it was a full-fledged attack on the entire country, they did not know where it was safe to fly the President. Even after AF-1 was in the air, it would have taken time to figure out whether it was safe to head directly for Washington, better to fly to a secure command center elsewhere in the country with access to better communications than those on AF-1, or more prudent to stay in the air and (I presume) arrange for refueling.
Ambrose said...
It doesn't really matter what he did. If Bush had politely excused himself and left the classroom, he would have been criticized for that by the Michael Moores of the world ("He panicked..." "Couldn't he have stayed for 7 minutes more to keep the kids calm" "He's a war criminal' etc.)
tradguy,
Hannity has credibility? When did he acquire that???
Kirk...Hannity is a problem. I really don't think Hannity cares about his credibility. His line of Irish blarney just rolls along seldom letting his guests speak. He is just as partisan as Maddow and Mathews.
The problem wasn't that he took 7 minutes. The problem is that he is a Republican who took 7 minutes. If he had been a democrat we would have been hearing how cool he was under fire, deliberating all possible options because of his superior intellect.

The Grand Inquisitor said...
I spend more than 7 minutes wondering what to eat for dinner.
He spent 7 minutes reacting to the most horrible news, with the greatest weight on his shoulders.
And some people can't give him even the slightest latitude.
I remember soon after 9/11 hearing people blame Bush for the entire attack, and how that bodes well for the next election.
This whole thing was about the Bush v Gore in Florida debacle.
That's why what Gore did was so horrible. He convinced so many people that Bush stole an election. It fundamentally screwed up this country. In a way, the anger with Obama is a direct descendant. Many don't know another way to oppose a politician they greatly dislike.
Gore knew he was causing a bitter division when he threw away the votes of American soldiers, or demanded unfair recounts, or dissembled cheating, and as a result, Bush was so hated that he was getting eggs thrown at him before he was inaugurated.
That's the real reason he had such a huge swing up in the polls after 9/11. All that negative energy had to take a breather. It was like a tightly held rubber band that was released for a little while.
Fair or not, we gotta try to get over this bitter division. We have to beat Obama without letting our personal feelings about his policies lead us to paranoia or derangement.
For example, Obama showed true resolve and guts as his administration produced a momentous and excellent result with Osama's destruction. Yes, of course he mucked it up in several ways, but we need to give credit and respect, while criticizing.
I refuse to accept a status quo of massive anger with one another.
Anyone who watched any of Michael Moore's movies, and thought that they were learning something is a fucking idiot.
Actually,
it isn't.
Bush was accused by the left of invading Afghanistan over an oil pipeline he had nothing to do with (Michael Moore).
Bush was accused by the left for being AWOL from the TX Air National Guard.
Those were lies.
Those lies were wholly embraced by a majority of the left.
You are a silly liar.
Largo said...
Crackin' good Kipling reference there. Yes.
Milwaukee said...
"I think he was trying to protect us." Wow. Whether I agree with his actions or not, this is powerful. Bush was trying to protect us. He had his faults, and his fiscal policies were decidedly not conservative enough for me. However, at the end of the day he loves this country and would try to protect us. What I have in common with Bush is far greater than what I don't. Bush won elections in part because people felt like he was somebody they could sit down with and share a cup of coffee. Not so the current guy.
President Obama is worried about getting re-elected. We have far too many pictures of Barack and Michelle looking really arrogant.
Tim Maguire: Spot on.
Moore would have criticized him if he ran out of the room. That is what Moore does. He is a liar and a fraud.
jb_big_boy said...
I've always operated under the assumption that anyone who considered the reaction of President Bush at that moment, continuing reading the book in the classroom, as something that was inappropriate, was a childless human. Disregarding the partisan hacking involved with the idea, only a human without child could possibly forget about the child immediately in front of them, and have no compassion for how their actions might impact the emotions of that child.
You see, it's all about the children, except when it isn't.

Is this really worth discussing? Anyone who feels that in those few, unprecedented moments 7 minutes signified anything...
anyone who believes that is beneath contempt.
I don't know enough about BO's decision to judge the 16 hours.
Obviously they are two entirely different moments and cannot be compared.
As for Moore...pfffft
@traditionalguy...
I listened to Mark Levin Monday and he played a tape of former Pres. Bush being grilled by Matt (Lauer??) regarding methods of interrogation. Bush was passionate and held his ground, citing his intent to honor his oath of office by protecting the people of the United States of America. That replay was more instructive and relevant than ANYTHING I have read or heard since the excellent news that OBL is dead.
The child remembered his face turning red. President Bush was clearly emotionally stricken by the news. I don't think he was in a state right then to rattle off such a smooth exit line and then go stand in the hallway with his entourage waiting for the limo to arrive.
He did exactly the right thing, the noble thing, naturally and without pre-meditation. His detractors and second-guessers are idiots.

May favorite of the younge people's comments:
"Today, when we talk about 9/11 in class and you hear kids make mistakes about what happened with the President that day, I can tell them they're wrong," she says, "because I was there."


The Claymore director and chara designer PMX panel isn't until Sunday, so I have a few more days to spend watching this show before I get to go to their panel. :) (If you have questions you'd like asked, please leave them in the comments section.) Plus, we just came back from a major outage all day, so bear with us as I make the second post for today…which is about the evolution this show is taking by its halfway marker.
