Tough end to stellar career
By By Michael Blouse
| Special to The Morning Call |
Colin Abert placed fifth among 239 runners in the Class 3A boys' race at Saturday's PIAA Cross Country Championships and was the top finisher among District 11 runners. (DONNA FISHER / THE MORNING CALL)
Colin Abert placed fifth among 239 runners in the Class 3A boys' race at Saturday's PIAA Cross Country Championships.
He was the top finisher among District 11 runners. His state medal was the third of his scholastic career -- all extremely impressive accomplishments.
Still, the Easton Area High School standout was as disappointed and despondent as a fifth-place finisher could possibly be after a championship event.
"Since I ran out here my freshman year," Abert said through tears, "winning the state title was my goal. I really, really thought this was my year.
"A lot of family and friends came out to watch me today. I feel like I let a lot of people down."

Actually, Abert ran a strong race on what he called tired legs.
His time of 15 minutes, 47 seconds was seven seconds faster than his second-place effort of 15:54 a year ago. Central Bucks East's Jake Brophy won the 3A title in 15:24.
Although Abert was upset over his individual performance, he and junior teammate Kevin Lapsansky led Easton to a strong fifth-place finish among Class 3A teams. Lapsansky was 18th overall in 16:17.
Salisbury senior Kyle Gonoude won his second straight PIAA medal with an 11th-place effort in the Class 2A boys' race.

Pennridge senior Marissa Sheva finished fourth in the 3A girls' race and Emmaus freshman Abby Dalton earned an 18th-place medal in the same race. Northwestern's girls placed fourth among Class 2A teams.
At the mile-mark, Abert was in prime position to claim his state championship.
He was a step ahead of both Brophy and third-place finisher Kevin James of Cardinal O'Hara. Abert, a Penn State University recruit, remained in a pack of four or five runners at the front until about six-tenths of a mile remained in the race.
"That's when they went," Abert said. "I tried to go with them but my legs were totally shot. I felt like I couldn't run up hills."

A fighter, Abert grinded out the fifth-place finish. He was passed for fourth a step before the finish line.
"Usually I'm the one picking off people at the end," said the three-time conference and District 11 champion.
"I could tell my last two races [at the conference and district championships], something wasn't right with my legs. I tried to convince myself I'd be OK but I definitely felt it. My body needs a break."
Abert collapsed into the arms of his parents, Scott and Carla, after he exited the chute that follows the finish line. "It's the first time I collapsed like that since my freshman track season," he said.

Easton's top five finishers were Abert, Lapsansky, Greg Sherman (95th overall), Greg Grunwald (106th) and Logan Koch (174th).
Like Abert, Gonoude also fell back a couple positions from his junior year.
The Colonial League and District 11 Class 2A champion was seventh a season ago, but Gonoude said this year's race included tougher competition compared to last year. He clocked a 16:33 at the Parkview Course, which was 32 seconds off the winning time.
"I'm not quite satisfied," Gonoude said, "but I ran as hard as I could. I wanted to improve on last year but I didn't do that.

"This is a weird up-and-down race and I thought I'd figure things out as I went along. I passed a couple guys in the last 100 meters but I couldn't get into the top 10. This race is a real nice challenge."
The surprise placewinner among area runners was a promising freshman from Emmaus.
Dalton, who was fifth at the Eastern Pennsylvania Conference meet and fourth at the district championships, was the top finisher among District 11 runners in the 3A girls' race. She crossed the finish line in 19:08. Shaler's Brianna Schwartz won the title in 17:39.
Dalton said a top-50 finish was her goal.

"I didn't expect this," she said. "I felt really good for the first half of the race but then I started to get a little tired in the second half. I just tried to keep my pace and keep passing people."
The best team effort was a fourth-place finish by Northwestern, which ended the season with a 105-meet winning streak in the Colonial League.
Pierce paced the Tigers with a 32nd-place performance overall. Hannah Herzon was 65th, Molly Tarvin 77th, Rachele Cerrone 79th and Abigail Supplee 91st. Northwestern's first five runners finished 51 seconds apart.
"We wanted to be in the top five," said Pierce, a senior. "But we really didn't put pressure on ourselves. We just came out to do the best we could. We're a close team and we push each other, so this was a great way to end our season."

Rain or heat got you stuck indoors? Here's where you can still get your sports on


The solar storm yesterday was downgraded from a G3 to a G1. Grid down worries relaxed.
At 2:20 AM the Farmerette poked me awake - the power was off. When we got up at 5:30 it was still off. It was crisis time.
The automatic coffee pot was not working and our stove top percolators are down at the Tick Farm. It was raining - had been all night - and the basement sump pump was not pumping the water out of the new under-the-house indoor swimming pool.
At 6 we started checking with the neighbors to see if anyone had an idea of what the problem was and if they had heard how long it would be out. The answers we got were not good - our little town was dark, and the big city up the road was without power as well.
The power came back on at 6:42. We are still not quite sure what the problem was with the regional power outage, but there were reports of numerous lines down from trees falling on them.
We reviewed our planned response for a grid down scenario, natural or manmade, and came up with a couple oversights in our plan. There will be a new coffee pot in the cabinet this afternoon, and the battery backup (with solar charger) backup sump pump will be installed shortly.
You can also expect a shortage of canning jars, lids and rings locally. There are 3 freezers that need to be emptied, preferably at our leisure, not in one big gulp.
We don't have everything in place but Super Storm Sandy gave us a good wake up call. We were without power for 10 days. Kids were out of school for 2 weeks. We already had a wood stove, so I cooked on that. Knowing that the storm was coming I kind of cheated and did a lot of baking and took a lot of items out of the freezer and put them in a cooler before it hit.
My husband thought I was being paranoid. Not anymore. He was very thankful for my closet full of candles, matches, flashlights and batteries. For the pantry full of canned food and the manual can opener that I kept when he told me to throw it away. He was also very grateful that I had filled up all the vehicles and any empty gas cans, so we could keep the generator going. We only ran it 4 hours a day total to recharge the freezers and let everyone take a quick shower...but it made a huge difference in our comfort levels. I also had the foresight to fill the propane bottles for the grill so we could cook outside as well.
I want to get some rechargeable solar lamps to add to my cache. I also kept an old push button phone that we used after the storm when our cell phones died we were able to unplug the cordless phone and use the old one, so our cells were recharged and used only when we left the house so we could stay in touch. We always have bottled water and extra animal feed on hand, so we were ok there, even if we couldn't have used the generator, at least for a couple of days.
I'm sure there are a lot of other things that we need to do, but I was pretty pleased with the way we made it through. Of course, if the power was out longer we might have had more problems.
My husband doesn't think I'm paranoid anymore!
"Return with us now to the thrilling days of yesteryear..."
Power outs are not fun, especially if they don't happen often. Our power goes out for several hours at least twice a year and we always just put up with it. We invested in an Alladin lamp when we first moved to Virginia and seldom needed to use it. We lost stuff in the freezers one winter when the power was off for a couple of days and still didn't think much about it.
Then a thing called a derecho came through a few years ago and knocked power out for 6 days. In July. Fortunately a lot of the stores still had power so we were able to get ice and water. We already had a humungous cooler that we take to the races so we were able to keep milk, butter and all that.
Flushing was an issue so we got water from a local stream for that purpose. There is also a spring on the edge of town where we could get water for boiling noodles or veggies, and for bathing.
Don't know if we are fully prepared, but we know more than we did before.
We have a good deal of gear to get us through several days if a storm etc knocked out power. We always have plenty of batteries on hand and keep several lighting sources at the ready such as oil lamps solar powered lanterns candles etc. I always have several gallons of gas on hand for use in the tractor or for emergencies . The only thing I wish I could do is convince the wife to buy more nonperishable foods like dried rice corn meal flour etc. We have enough food on hand at any given time to last maybe a week if we stretched it. I'd like to have at least a months worth.
Nick, do you folks enjoy eating rice and things made from corn flour? It's real hard to eat things you don't like. But if you do like these things, you can save a good bit of money by buying in bulk. We have rice, pinto beans, noodles, macaroni...not enough to last to the end of the world, but enough that we don't have to buy these things for several months.
Maybe the idea of fewer trips to the store would appeal to your wife?
Having spent many years in "Hurricane Ground Zero", I've had many shakedowns that lasted at least a week. Usually we were well prepared and, although inconvenienced, did not suffer. I do think, however, that you can always learn, and refine your plan. I remember one of my best purchases - although not an essential - a battery powered fan. When it is 90+ degrees with high humidity, that fan can make the difference between no sleep, or a relatively pleasant night.
Storm blew in tonight and the power went out with no warning. Usually we get a flash of the lights and if it happens three times we know its going to go out for good. When it went out there was no lighting at all. But when they got around about an hour or so later to our house they found the lighting arrestors on the transformer had blown. The Neighbors had as well. They said quite a few had blown. We got power after a couple hours except for my neighbor he was the last on this circuit and they had ran out of arrestors so his was out about three hours. For short term outages I have one of these but really would not want to use it as a permanent solution as it burns a gallon an hour of diesel. Did not bother to fire it up tonight I would wait until about 8 hours before I would need to in the summer. Winter time maybe 4-6 hours depending on the weather and if the fireplace was keeping the house warm enough.
How big is that thing Bones? Looks about like a 40-45Kw unit. Am I close?
We went 4.5 days with no power from Hurricane Irene.
It was mostly a big inconvenience instead of a real "emergency".
one of my best purchases - although not an essential - a battery powered fan. When it is 90+ degrees with high humidity, that fan can make the difference between no sleep, or a relatively pleasant night.
Plus one on the fan. I have some that fold up fairly compactly and use D cell batteries. I tested and found that the fan can run for more than 24 hours straight on one set of decent brand batteries. That translates to a few nights sleep.
Re: Generator power -- We don't rely too heavily on a freezer and other than A/C and battery charging I hesitate to crank one up (we have two) because they make so much noise.
My project this summer is to go under my house to run some wiring. Fortunately my crawl space is 5' high so it's not too bad working down there. I plan to go through the floor and put a set of plugins by the fridge, freezer, and a couple other spots around the house. I will tie them into a plug outside the house on my covered deck. Now I can set a generator on the covered deck, plug in, and have power where I need it.
We don't have a plan to review as we live through many power outages every year. The power has gone out on a perfectly still sunny summer day for no reason - and will likely go out with just about any variety of thunderstorm or winter storm. And there is no way to tell how long it will be out - 3 hours, 3 days, 3 weeks? The very minimum of an outage for us is 3 hours since first it has to be reported somehow - we have no way to report it since without power our phone doesn't work. Then the nearest line crew for our area is ~30 miles away and are probably already busy at other places.
We have the wood stove for heat and a spring 20' from the front porch for water. Always have plenty of food stores. We have a couple Aladdin lamps plus an Amish high pressure gas lamp for light. And of course I have to have coffee - have a peculator that I heat on a propane cook stove.
Just always make sure I have a gallon or so of kerosene and Napth gas on hand.
Nowhere near that big. Military has it rated at 10KW Civilian model rates at about 15kw they say but others have said they have loaded it up to 20KW and were only close to the 75% rated load on the meter that comes with the unit. I like that it has a handy gauge to tell you what kind of load you are putting on it.
And I love how 12V man continues to rub it in. Yes I am jealous, got a spoiled wife I love a bunch who loves her creature comforts. She does not stop me from playing with solar and enjoys the fans from 12volts in our out building she is not ready to go all the way.
I gotta get me some of those battery powered fans. Not only would we be more comfortable sleeping, but I would be more comfortable not having to listen to the kids complaining!
So true - it is too quiet when you have no electricity. The fan helps!
Being on the trailer may make it appear larger, but it dwarfs my BIL's 25Kw whole house generator. I have a 8800 Watt (8.8 Kw) or roughly a third of the BIL's 25 Kw but it is nearly as large as the 25 Kw so size may not always be indicative of power with a generator.
Your generator appears to be about half the size of the 85 Kw John Deere generator the local blood bank has for back-up power, which is why I estimated the 40-45 Kw size.
We have a 7.56 Kw grid tied set of solar cells. We hope to add battery storage to the solar panels when the batteries are just a little more efficient.
In addition to the 8.8 Kw generator mentioned above some friend who moved to Oregon recently sold me a number of things including a 1.2 Kw generator.
It was small, but for $50, the offer was to lucrative to refuse. It is fairly quite as generators go, and it powers lights and small fans quite nicely. When I purchased it, I really did not expect to use it much, but it really shines in allowing the use of electrical power tools great distances from the house without having to have miles of extension cords.
We also have a fireplace, wood stove, gas & propane Coleman camp stoves, two kerosene heaters and recently purchased a twin burner high out put propane/natural gas (depending on jet in use) cooker. We have both Coleman lanterns & oil lamps, stock candles and the other normal things for just-in-case of power outages. In addition to the five pound propane cylinders for the bar-b-que grill/smoker we have a 100 pound propane bottle for the recently acquired cooker. And we have natural gas service, which has never previously been interrupted like the electrical service has been over the years.
Winters are not that severe here, but we have a number of 5# wool blankets, down blankets & comforters both.
We make every effort to keep extra canned, packages and dry products on hand for those unexpected emergencies and try and stay home during any ices storms since no one knows how to drive on ice & snow here.
We normally do well during emergencies and power outages, but those times still produce some moments of trepidation when these events occur.
The military 5kw are about the same size. These are diesel engines so they are bigger than a gasoline one. The 5kw the engine weight 490lbs and the 10kw the engine weights 690 lbs. I traded a 5kw engine a little cash for the whole generator and I have a spare engine for the that I got years ago. New Old stock still in the box from the military. The big control box helps in the looks big dept. These are 3 phase or single phase generators. They make them pretty soldier proof and should give me years of no problems. I have to build a load bank out of a couple water heaters as these units need to be loaded when you fire it once a month for testing.
We also have smaller gasoline generators, kerosene heaters and lanterns, propane tanks 20lbs and the 100lbs as well. Candles, flashlights, Plenty of water, MRE's canned food etc.
I did not go with a natural gas powered generator as we are on a earthquake fault and pretty sure if we get a earthquake the NG lines will be shut off or broken.

Hubert Cecil Booth, född 4 juli 1871 i Paris, död 14 januari 1955 i Croydon, England, var en brittisk ingenjör som uppfann den första motordrivna dammsugaren.

Han har också utformat pariserhjulet,  hängbroar och fabriker. Senare blev han ordförande och VD för det brittiska Vacuum Cleaner and Engineering Co.

Biografi
Booth föddes i Paris men flyttade med sin familj till Gloucester när han var två månader gammal. Han utbildades på Gloucester College och Gloucester County School under rektorn pastor H. Lloyed Brereton. År 1889 började han vid Central Technical College, City and Guild, London , där han fullgjorde en treårig utbildning i anläggnings- och maskinteknik under professor William Cawthorne Unwin. Han tog sin examen (ACGI) som kurstvåa och blev sedan student vid Institution of Civil Engineers.

I december 1892 började han arbeta som civilingenjör vid ritkontoret hos Maudslay Sons & Field, Lambeth, London. I denna befattning konstruerade han broar och stora pariserhjul för nöjesparker i London, Blackpool, Paris, och Wien. Booth arbetade också med utformningen av motorer till marinfartyg för Royal Navy.

Efter att ha sett en något bristfällig demonstration av ett tryckluftsbaserat rengöringssystem för järnvägsvagnar på St Pancras station kom Booth fram till att man kan få ett bättre system genom att suga luft genom ett filter. Därmed uppfann han en tidig version av dammsugaren, som sedan tillverkades av Fielding & Platt i Gloucester. Hans tillvägagångssätt var emellertid bättre lämpat för industriellt bruk än för hushållsanvändning, och hans företag blev därför snart omkört av hans konkurrent, Henry Hoover. Han fick dock brittiskt patent på sin produkt den 18 februari och 30 augusti 1901, och hans företag fortsatte att specialisera sig på industridammsugare. Innan Booth introducerade sin version av dammsugaren, blåste eller borstade städmaskinerna bort smutsen i stället för att suga upp den. Alla moderna dammsugare är baserade på Booths princip.

Study shows biodiversity value of 'Green Infrastructure'
Last year's Natural Environment White Paper called for the creation of 'green infrastructure' as a tool to conserve and enhance biodiversity in the UK. Defining what this would entail, the report concluded that in addition to the conservation of existing protected areas and measures to enhance the wider rural landscape, the integrity of an effective national ecological network will be dependent on the existence of green spaces and corridors within urban areas.
The theory that habitat, or 'green', corridors enhance biodiversity within otherwise inhospitable landscapes has long been accepted amongst ecologists, but the body of supporting evidence for this assumption remains relatively sparse.
A study published this week, however, adds new support to the theory; researchers studying the abundance and diversity of spiders, ground beetles and rove beetles in domestic gardens near Paris, France found that gardens connected by green corridors to other gardens and 'source' habitat patches supported a significantly higher species diversity compared to relatively isolated gardens.
In addition, the research revealed that the community composition in connected gardens was similar to that found in corridors, indicating that these wildlife highways help maintain ecological community structure.
The authors conclude that connecting corridors should be an essential part of the wide-scale planning of green spaces in urban areas.
Positively, the recently reviewed National Planning Policy Framework for the UK contains an explicit requirement for planning policies to consider "…designated sites of importance for biodiversity [and] the wildlife corridors and stepping stones that connect them" – the work of Vergnes, Le Viol and Clergeau suggests that (at least for invertebrates) this approach could greatly enhance the diversity and resilience of ecological communities.

Jeb Bush talks of plugging opportunity gap in Detroit speech
"I know for a fact, that if I'm gong to be successful, I'm going to have to do it on my own," Bush said.

DETROIT, Feb. 4 (UPI) -- Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush told Detroit business leaders Wednesday government must "step up" or "stand aside" to narrow the opportunity gap.
Bush's speech to a Detroit Economic Club luncheon looked very much like a campaign stop. Bush has not formally declared he is a candidate for the Republican presidential nomination in 2016 but has taken several significant steps in that direction.
His speech also echoed President Obama's State of the Union message.
"Today, Americans across the country are frustrated. They see only a small portion of the population riding the economy's up escalator," he said. "It's true enough that we've seen some recent and welcome good news on the economy. But it's very little, and it's come very late."
RELATED Romney announces he won't run in 2016
Bush, speaking in one of the country's poorest cities, said that two-thirds of U.S. families live paycheck to paycheck and that record numbers are on food stamps and have incomes below the poverty line.
He called for improvement in education and said state and local governments should get more resources and the federal government less.
If Bush becomes president, his family would be the first to have three close relatives winning the White House. But he said while he loves his father -- "the greatest man alive" -- and his older brother, he says he does not intend to get elected on their coattails.
RELATED Jeb Bush eyes 2016 with 'Right to Rise' PAC
"I know for a fact, that if I'm gong to be successful, I'm going to have to do it on my own," he said.
Bush promised to go into the causes and possible solutions for the country's economic woes in the next few weeks.
"If Americans are working harder than ever, earning less than they once did, our government, our leaders, should step up, fix what went wrong, or step aside," he said.

Premier League flops of the season (so far)
12th, October 2007
A couple of days ago I posted my Prem team of the season so far. Today, I've done a flops of the season – it's not rocket science, is it?
GK Paul Robinson (Spurs) Eighteen goals conceded in nine games, a litany of mistakes and a general lack of positional awareness/sharpness mean that Robbo comfortably wins selection as our flops' custodian.
Honourable mention Jens Lehmann has been injured, but even so it seems Manuel Almunia has usurped him at Arsenal. Not a good start to the season for Mad Jens.
RB Chris Baird (Fulham) The worst player in the Premier League? I think so. Baird has been stinking up Craven Cottage.
Honourable mention Liam Rosenior, the player ostensibly replaced by Baird, has not done much better at new club Reading.
CB Steven Taylor (Newcastle) Talked about as a Future England Captain in the summer, but has warmed the bench a few times this season. I stuck him in my fantasy team, thinking he'd have a breakthrough season, but he's clearly not guaranteed a first-team place under Big Sam.
Honourable mention Michael Dawson of Spurs – he's a bit shit isn't he?
CB Jon Woodgate (Middlesbrough) I admit to not having seen much of him this season, but Boro fans that I know say his form has been pretty poor, and he looks lacking in motivation.
Honourable mention Joseph Yobo. David Moyes seems to prefer the Alan Stubbs/Joleon Lescott axis in the centre of defence, which is not surprising given Yobo's form, which has dipped below his usual high standards this season.
LB Ian Harte (Sunderland) Okay, no one expects much of the one-legged Irishman (and okay, I struggled a bit to find a left-back who has really flopped), but one substitute appearance so far tells its story. Not sure why Keano bought him from Levante, although he's still only 30.
Honourable mention Wayne Bridge. Outplayed Ashley Cole last season, can't get a game this season.
MF Steven Gerrard (Liverpool) A piece on the Guardian blog by Scott Murray about how Stevie G's best position is out wide – because he's too reckless and not intelligent enough a player to control a game from central midfield – provoked a huge, mainly positive response from Liverpool fans who are tired of the way sections of the media (Sky Sports in particular) lionise Gerrard. It's not exactly a Gerrard backlash, but you have to admit that his form in the middle of the park this season has been disappointing. The 'Pool have missed the calming influence of Xabi Alonso, no doubt.
Honourable mention Phil Jagielka has struggled to command a regular starting place at Everton. Perhaps he is too much of a utility player to fit in anywhere?
MF Kevin Nolan (Bolton) What's happened to Nolan, who was knocking hard on the England door not so long ago? No idea, but he's half the player he was.
Honourable mention Michael Essien. I know he's injured now, but when he has played this season, he's looked half the player he was in 2006/07.
MF Gilberto Silva (Arsenal) Due to the excellence of Mathieu Flamini, Brazil's national team captain can't get a game right now, having had such a solid season last time out.
Honourable mention Morten Gamst Pedersen. The Gamster goes missing for large chunks of the season, then he'll suddenly burst into life with a few contenders for goal of the season. By his presence on this list, you can guess which Gamst we've seen so far.
MF Stilian Petrov (Aston Villa) Just not doing the business at Villa, and has even been booed by his own fans recently. May look for a move elsewhere in January.
Honourable mention Christian Wilhelmsson looks great for Sweden; put him in a Bolton shirt and he's become invisible.
CF Darren Bent (Spurs) That price tag weighs heavier and heavier on Bent's shoulders by the week. Too early to write him off, but has all the makings of one of English football's most expensive flops.
Honourable mention Andriy Shevchenko. Goes without saying. The longer he stays at Stamford Bridge, the more lasting damage he does to his reputation and legacy. Will surely leave in January, back to Milan maybe?
CF David Nugent (Portsmouth) Harry Redknapp was prepared to ditch him after a month or so, and despite scoring in the Carling Cup, Nugent has been a definite flop so far, and hasn't looked Prem class.
Honourable mention Villa's Marlon Harewood – everything he touches turns to shit. West Ham did well to ditch him.
Manager A toss-up between Little Sammy Lee at Bolton and Martin Jol at Spurs. I give the job to Little Sam, because I can't see any light at the end of the tunnel for Bolton, whereas at least I can see Tottenham turning things around.

Andy @ Liquid Football says:
Is Ben Haim worth a mention? He looks seriously out of his depth at Chelsea, and his defensive frailties were exposed heavily during the games against Liverpool and Man Uinted.
Ollie, Pies Ed. says:
I did consider Ben Haim Andy, but he didn't quite make the cut.
Liam Rosenior? He's played decent when i've seen him play for reading.
Where's Cristy Ronaldo?
Oh, nevermind, I forgot this was a Man U blog.
Gerrard's been injured, but let's just ignore that fact.
Muppet.
Brian, read the comments on Scott Murray's Stevie G blog on the Guardian – there's a hell of a lot of Pool fans out there who seem to think that Gerrard has been below par in the middle this season, so far at least.
There's no anti-Liverpool side to Pies, but then it's not like a Liverpool fan to bite at the merest hint of a wind-up, is it (rolls eyes)…
Darren Bent looks like Kriss Akabusi. And plays like him, too (I'm guessing). A thoroughly pointless signing.
Wheres Cristiano did I hear somne one say? Get a grip, he's been fantastic so far! eeeeegit
Kipp says:
Oh Oh Oh, that last guy is called alex and he's been piss too.
Mikel?
Andy Johnson surely! Worse than bent…
Geremi has done nothing AND is a captain, perhaps the team should include the worst captain, which is then probably Geremi, or is nolan captain too?
oh and anyone in a wet sham 'shirt'
tuncay sanli perhaps? he's been pretty poor for boro seeing as he's suppose to be the best turkish player in years.
15.41 Anderson!? Looks like fergie has another Kleberson on his hands. I'm sure he's a good player, but he may be yet another brazillian who doesn't get used to the pace of the prem. You can't knock fergie for it cos this kid looked quite special at Porto. £17m seems quite a lot for a young hopeful though, eh?

So after all that yard work on Saturday I did go shopping at the outlet mall yesterday. My, oh my, so did everyone else. The traffic was horrible, but not as bad as it was later in the day when I was on my way home. Glad I left early.
After all the yard work and shopping I think I may be doing some of this.
We have had the most enjoyable weather this weekend, but looks like rain is on its way.
Our hammock is not used enough. I think that needs to change.
I hope y'all have a wonderful holiday!
I want to take this time to thank our service men and women for their sacrifice!
what a lovely idea, that hammock is styled to perfection and it couldn't be in a better spot!
I looked at our hammock in the garage thinking we need to put it up and use it!
We will be camping all next week and that's the only time I get to use my hammock -- but boy oh boy do I use it then.
Love the hammock, enjoy. Happy Memorial Day.
Cindy, it was mostly clothes.
Looks lovely. Enjoy your week.
I love the hammock it's so pretty! Hope you enjoyed the day!!
Happy Memorial Day. The hammock and its accessories are great! I would love to see some photos of items you may have picked up on your little shopping expedition yesterday.
Such gorgeous pictures! That hammock looks so inviting.
The hammock is inviting and probably should be used more often! Happy Memorial Day.
Hope you had a chance to lie in your pretty hammock today! The weather was just about perfect late this afternoon for a little siesta in there!
Love the pillows and yes use your hammock...Happy Memorial Day!
Oh Kim I would be planted on that lovely hammock all summer long. You did a great job decorating it for Memorial day. So beautiful. Have a great week.
Your red, white, and blue hammock looks inviting, Kim. Hope you took advantage of it before the rains hit. I think the system that dumped a lot of rain on us may be moving your way. Look out! Austin was underwater in many places this afternoon. Fortunately we are high and dry here.
A beautiful place to enjoy a favorite drink and magazine/book. The hammock looks so beautiful that one would hate to disturb the wonderfully placed pillows and coverlets!...Hope you had a great Memorial Day weekend!

Q: Elasticsearch - Filter where (one of nested array) and (all of nested array) TL;DR - How do I check whether one-of and all-of a nested array meet specified criteria?
I have a document. Each document has an array of nested outer objects, who themselves have a list of nested inner objects. I need to perform a filter for all documents where at least one of the document's outer nested objects match. When I say match, I mean that all the outer nested objects' inner objects match in some way. Here's an example mapping for reference;
{ "document" : {
    "properties" : {
      "name" : {
        "type" : "string"
      },
      "outer" : {
        "type" : "nested",
        "properties" : {
          "inner" : {
            "type" : "nested",
            "properties" : {
              "match" : {
                "type" : "string",
                "index" : "not_analyzed"
              },
              "type" : {
                "type" : "string",
                "index" : "not_analyzed"
              }
    }}}}}}
}

If the document has no outer/inner objects it is considered to match. But to make things worse the inner objects need to be considered to match differently depending on the type in a kind of conditional logic manner (eg CASE in SQL). For example, if the type were the term "Country" then inner object would be considered to match if the match were a specified country code such as ES. A document may have inner objects of varying type and there is not guarantee that specific types will exist.
Coming from a imperative (Java) programming background I am having incredible trouble figuring out how to implement this kind of filtering. Nothing I can think of even vaguely matches this behaviour. Thus far all I have is the filtered query;
"filtered" : {
      "query" : {
        "match_all" : { }
      },
      "filter" : {
        "bool" : {
          "should" : {
            "missing" : {
              "field" : "outer.inner.type"
            }
    }}}}
}

So, the question is...
How can I filter to documents who have at least one outer object which has all inner objects matching based on the type of inner object?
Further details By Request -
Example Document JSON
{
    "name":"First",
    "outer":[
        {
            "inner":[
                {"match":"ES","type":"Country"},
                {"match":"Elite","type":"Market"}
            ]
        },{
            "inner":[
                {"match":"GBR","type":"Country"},
                {"match":"1st Class","type":"Market"},
                {"match":"Admin","type":"Role"}
            ]
        }
    ],
    "lockVersion":0,"sourceId":"1"
}

The above example should come through the filter if we were to provide "1st Class" market and the country "GRB" because the second of the two outer objects would be considered a match because both inner objects match. If, however, we provided the country country "GRB" and the market "Elite" then we would not have this document returned because neither of the outer objects would have bother of their inner objects match in their entirety. If we wanted the second outer object to match then all three inner would need to match. Take note that there is an extra type in the third inner. This leads to a situation where if a type exists then it needs to have a match for it else it doesn't need to match because it is absent.

               }
            }
         }
      }
   }
}

Here is some code I used to test it:
http://sense.qbox.io/gist/f554c2ad2ef2c7e6f5b94b1ddb907813370f4edc
Let me know if you need some explanation of the logic; it is kind of involved.

A: One of Nested Array
Having one of a nested array matching some criteria turns out to be very simple. A nested filter evaluates to matching/true if any of the array of nested objects match the specified inner filters. For example, given an array of outer objects where one of those objects has a field match with the value "matching" the following would be considered true.
"nested": {
   "path": "outer",
   "filter": {
       "term" : { "match" : "matching" }
   }
}

The above will be considered true/matching if one of the nested outer objects has a field called match with the value "matching".
All of Nested Array
Having a nested filter only be considered matching if all of the nested objects in an array match is more interesting. In fact, it's impossible. But given that it is considered matching if only one of the nested objects match a filter we can reverse the logic and say "If none of the nested objects don't match" to achieve what we need. For example, given an array of nested outer.inner objects where all of those objects has a field match with the value "matching" the following would be considered true.
"not" : {
   "nested": {
      "path": "outer.inner",
      "filter": {
          "not" : {
              "term" : { "match" : "matching" }
          }
      }
   }
}

The above will be considered true/matching because none of the nested outer.inner objects don't (double negative) have a field called match with the value "matching". This, of course, is the same as all of the nested inner objects having a field match with the value "matching".
Missing Any Nested Objects
You can't check whether a field containing nested objects is missing using the traditional missing filter. This is because nested objects aren't actually in the document at all, they are stored somewhere else. As such missing filters will always be considered true. What you can do however, is check that a match_all filter returns no results like so;
"not": {
   "nested": {
      "path": "outer",
      "filter": {
          "match_all": {}
       }
    }
 }

This is considered true/matching if match_all finds no results.


The SOLID acronym describes five object-oriented design principles that, when followed, produce code that is cleaner and more maintainable. The last principle, the Dependency Inversion Principle, suggests that details depend upon abstractions. Unfortunately, typical project relationships in .NET applications can make this principle difficult to follow. In this article, I'll describe how one can structure a set of projects in a Visual Studio solution such that DIP can be followed, allowing for the creation of a SOLID solution. You can download the sample solution and use it as a starting point for your new solutions if you like.
I think we pretty much agree. Let me ask and answer some questions myself this time.
Does the sample app in this article *need* any IOC container? Nope. Again, it's just there so people see how it's wired up.
Should you always start with an IOC container? Always? No. Like everything else, It Depends. But if you and your team are comfortable with them and you know the application is going to be of sufficient scope that in your experience one will be beneficial, then it's not a YAGNI violation to start with it. If you're not sure or lack that experience, start without, or gain experience with them in a spike solution (perhaps using my sample here as a starting point).
Do people mis-use and over-use IOC containers? Yes. Can they lead to over-complicated solutions? Yes. Are they rather "trendy" at the moment amongst .NET developers? Yes. Does that mean we definitely should or should not use them? No - use your judgment.
You disagree with much of this?
I have used an IOC container in one application and that was to facilitate automated testing in the UI... I didn't need it in any of the unit tests or integration tests... I needed to be able to plugin mock services to what was normally a live application... I needed the ability to instantiate based on the config file... Outside of that, in the extremities of my application (tests, ui) most times I need only 1 ISomething, I know what that ISomething is, I have a ref to the project and I just instantiate it... Why use an IOC container... What is going to change that I am going to want one later? YNGNI?????
1) Do you think that IOC containers are good at managing object graphs and reducing coupling within complex applications?
2) If so, do you think it's more likely that an application will evolve in a testable and loosely-coupled manner with an IOC container managing these dependencies from the start, or if some months down the road the team needs to decide whether to try and incorporate one into an app that hasn't been using one and thus requires touching a large percentage of the codebase in order to eliminate direct instantiations, etc. (and of course at this point the team is under deadline pressure, etc.)?
I agree with the KISS principle, however my intent with showing the inclusion of the IOC container in this example is to demonstrate to readers how a real-world non-trivial solution looks, while still being small enough to comprehend. Do I need one for this "application"? Of course not. But there are very few examples out there of solution structures that are both small and simple yet include the basic necessities of building a loosely-coupled application, and for any application of reasonable complexity, IOC containers like SM help. Now, if you're not unit testing, not using the strategy pattern, and/or not using interfaces, then of course you can just skip this whole thing and keep building things in the UI->BLL->DAL manner. It works, it's just not easy to test or refactor without touching the database.
i was definitely confused. The diagram showing data and ui referencing business got me 'excited'.
i think i'm trying to link things that have nothing to do with eachother... such as class library/solution layout and SOLID.
Thanks for this post it's got me re-reading rob martin's agile patterns & practices in c# book...chapter 28.
MSTest has fewer external downloads if you already have the correct SKU of VS installed, is what I meant. Though with Nuget, it's less of an issue to pull in dependencies. I'm toying with adding this as a Nuget package if I make it a proper VS installer, at which point I'm sure I'll make a "lite" one and one that has the third-party tools I prefer to use (like NUnit and Moq and AutoMapper).
Also i believe having your Ui and Data layers depending on your business layer is also incorrect and breaks Inversion of Control. What you really want to have is a project (class library) of UI contracts/abstracts, Business contracts/abstracts, and data contracts/absstracts. Then the dependencies are inverted toward the "top most" package being in control of injecting them.
Just curious... why do you make the assertion that MSTest has less dependencies than NUnit? or do you simply mean 'less to download and configure'?

Ян (іноді Януш, рідше Іван) Потоцький (між 1616/1618 — квітень—травень 1675/1676) — польський шляхтич гербу Пилява, військовик та урядник Корони Польської в Речі Посполитій.

Життєпис

Народився між 1616 і 1618 роками в сім'ї майбутнього старости генерального подільського Стефана Потоцького та його дружини Марії Амалії (з дому — Могилf). Був братом Павела та Пйотра, Катажини (шваґер Януша Радзивілла (1612—1655)) та Анни Потоцьких.

Після смерти батька в 1631 р. як наймолодший син (згідно з однією з тодішніх традицій) став власником Бучача, також Золотого Потоку, Бариша.

Навчався в школах Новодворських у Кракові перед 1638 р. Один з авторів од, які мали прославляти королівську пару — Владислава та Цецилію Ренату — під час їхнього в'їзду до Кракова. 1638 р. поїхав у мандрівку Європою, зокрема, у Брюсселі заприятелював із князем Богуславом Радзивіллом, познайомився з Яном та Мареком Собеськими.

Додому повернувся в 1647 р. Брав участь у війні з козаками, мав відбути місію до Б. Хмельницького (на Галицькому сеймику 21 березня 1661 р. підтримано його просьбу про повернення коштів за неї; 8 жовтня 1664 р. вказано, що отримав 20 000 золотих польських за неї). 1648 р. успішно командував обороною бучацького замку під час нападу незначної частини козацько-селянсько-татарського війська. У січні 1649 р. засудив до смертної кари ватажка золотопотіцьких повстанців (присуд виконали публічно в золотопотіцькому замку). 15 березня 1649 р. на сеймику Галицької землі шляхта обрала Я. Потоцького ротмістром повітової корогви, на чолі якої взяв участь у битві під Зборовом.

Debraak Tours Attendance Increased by 38% in 2013; New Tours Scheduled for 2014
A total of 314 visitors attended the Lewes, Del. based lecture/tours of the hull of His Majesty's Sloop DeBraak during 2013, an increase of 38% over the previous year. As a result of this continued interest, the Delaware Division of Historical and Cultural Affairs will again offer tours of the historic vessel's hull during the upcoming season that will run from late spring to early fall 2014.
Artistic rendition of the capsizing of the DeBraak by Peggy Kane, 1990.
The DeBraak was a British warship that was escorting and protecting a convoy of British and American merchant ships en route to the United States when it was capsized and lost off the Delaware coast on May 25, 1798. The surviving section of the ship's hull and its associated artifact collection have been curated by the division since they were acquired by the state of Delaware in 1992. Go to the following to learn more about the historical significance of the DeBraak.
Viewing area inside the DeBraak hull facility. The surviving section of the ship's hull can be seen in the left of the photo.
Tours will again begin at the Zwaanendael Museum, located at 102 Kings Highway in Lewes, Del., where a lecture on the ship will be presented in conjunction with "A Seaborne Citizenry: The DeBraak and Its Atlantic World," an exhibit that tells the story of the vessel, its crew and the historical context within which it operated in the late 18th century. Ticket holders will then be transported, via van, to the DeBraak hull facility in nearby Cape Henlopen State Park for a curator-led tour of the surviving section of the ship's hull.
Details for the 2014 season of tours including dates, times and prices will be announced via this blog in the near future. For additional information, call 302-645-1148.

Today, I spent all day finishing my beaded painting. First, I added a little more to the collaged words. Some of the words are written in Bengali; you can take a closer look at them HERE. You'll also see a sign which points in the direction of the London Underground. It directs viewers to the nearest air raid shelter because there are fighter planes overhead. These collaged planes are paper shapes which I glued to the stretched canvas and painted over with clear acrylic gloss. I also painted the cloud of smoke which pours out of a burning building. After the canvas dried, I then stitched each piece of beadwork in place. You can see my stitches HERE.
>While I didn't fully appreciate the subject of this when you first began it — now all I can say is WOW — You have made a statement.
>Very cool – and ultra mixed media, Diana! I think you've out done yourself this time.
>Wow LB it's amazing. How appropriate to add Bengali to the collage.
>This is truely mixed media. I love the graffiti wall.
>You've put so much into this piece. Outstanding!
>That is really amazing! Very cool!

Anthony Aalto (aka: Tony Jenkins)
In 2012 I founded Green Island Films with my partner Mike Hinchey. It's a Honolulu-based film production company. Since then we've produced a half dozen documentaries in Hawaii. We also produced the ads that helped our current Lt. Governor win office and are working on another high-profile political campaign. Prior to living in Hawaii I was a New York-based roving correspondent and reported from more than two-dozen countries around the world under the byline of Tony Jenkins - including stints as a war correspondent for The Guardian, The BBC and The Economist. I still write magazine articles from time to time.
