There is a scene late in Emma Straub's debut novel, Laura Lamont's Life in Pictures, where forgotten starlet Laura Lamont thinks of how much she misses the circle of lights on her dressing room mirror, the lights that surrounded her face and made her glow like an otherworldly being. They made her look beautiful when she felt ugly, and they made her feel perfect when her imperfections seemed visible to the entire world. Moments like this are what make Straub's novel such an enjoyable read: she brings the golden age of Hollywood to life while also managing to reveal the cracks and cobwebs that lie beneath its shimmering façade.
The story of Laura Lamont opens in Door County, Wisconsin, the hometown of young Elsa Emerson and the location of her family's theater company, The Cherry County Playhouse. Elsa is enamored with the actors and the logistics of putting on a play, but when a family tragedy occurs, leaving the entire Emerson family in shambles, Elsa decides there are ways to pretend that nothing bad has ever happened. Years later she marries a fellow aspiring actor and they move to California, where the birth of children, clashing egos, and new relationships lead to Elsa's transformation into Laura Lamont. Straub accomplishes this transition in such a seamless fashion that we as readers accept our new protagonist even though we can still see the blonde Wisconsin-born girl beneath Laura's brunette dye job.
Straub's novel is an old fashioned story of a life, beginning when Elsa is barely ten years old and ending when Laura is in her sixties. This large scope is difficult for many writers to compose, as focus tends to wobble and the main character changes in ways that do not fit his or her personality; Straub, however, manages to keep Laura vastly the same while nevertheless throwing changes into her life that alter her forever. The birth of her three children, her second marriage to an elite Hollywood producer, and familial issues involving drugs, possible suicide attempts, and deaths, all combine to show less of Laura Lamont and more of Elsa Emerson. That is one of the truly spectacular things about Straub's novel: she is able to maintain the outward personality of one character, while keeping her inward monologue that of another.
Even if Old Hollywood isn't your thing, there is plenty to become enamored with in Laura Lamont's Life in Pictures. The detail regarding place is wonderful: at one moment, you feel as if you are lying in a meadow in the wilds of Wisconsin, a bit of straw in your mouth and the blue sky above, and in another you are lounging by a swimming pool tanning in the Los Angeles sun. There is a bit of a repetitive streak where Laura's (or Elsa's) longing for her childhood home is concerned, but that can be overlooked because the rest of the novel is populated by so many interesting and lifelike characters that Laura's world becomes more than a film set for the reader; it becomes a world that is difficult to leave once the last page has been turned.
Basically, if you love books, you will love Laura Lamont's Life in Pictures. Not only is it the story of an old fashioned type of woman; it is the old fashioned type of story that is so hard to come by in modern day fiction. Pick it up, read it, and love it; that's really all I should have written for this review, but the book is just so damn lovely I had to say more.

The Border State Representatives Respond to Lincoln's Appeal
Posted on January 4, 2010 by Robert Moore
The following is a response to the appeal made by Lincoln (in this blog post from December) prior to the Emancipation Proclamation. It appeared on the same page, immediately following the President's appeal, in the July 30, 1862 edition of the Hagerstown Herald of Freedom of Torch Light.
Reply of the Majority.
The following paper was on Thursday sent to the President, signed by the majority of the Representatives of from the Border Slaveholding States.
Washington, July 14, 1862.
To the President:
The undersigned, Representatives of Kentucky, Virginia, Missouri and Maryland, in the two Houses of Congress, have listened to your address with the profound sensibility naturally inspired by the high source from which it emanates, the earnestness which marked it delivery, and the overwhelming importance of the subject of which it treats. We have given it a most respectful consideration, and now lay before you our response. – We regret that want of time has not permitted us to make it more perfect.
We have not been wanting, Mr. President, in respect to you, and in devotion to the Constitution and the Union. We have not been indifferent to the great difficulties surrounding you, compared with which all former national troubles have been but as the summer cloud; and we have freely given you our sympathy and support. Repudiating the dangerous heresies of the Secessionists, we believe, with you, that the war on their part is aggressive and wicked, and the objects for which it was to be prosecuted on ours, defined by your message at the opening of the present Congress, to be such as all good men should approve, we have not hesitated to vote all supplies necessary to carry it on vigorously. We have voted all the men and money you have asked for, and even more; we have imposed onerous taxes on our people, and they are paying them with cheerfulness and alacrity; we have encouraged enlistments and sent to the field many of our best men; and some of our number have offered their persons to the enemy as pledges of their sincerity and devotion to country. We have done all this under the most discouraging circumstances and in the face of measures most distasteful to us and injurious to the interests we represent, and in the hearing of doctrines avowed by those who claim to be your friends most abhorrent to us and our constituents. But, for all this, we have never faltered, nor shall we so long as we have a Constitution to defend and a Government which protects us. And we are ready for renewed efforts, and even greater sacrifices, yes, any sacrifice, when we are satisfied it is required to preserve our admirable form of government and the priceless blessings of constitutional liberty.
A few of our number voted for the resolution recommended by your message of the 6th of March last; the greater portion of us did not, and we will briefly state the prominent reasons which influenced our actions.
In the first place, it proposed a radical change of our social system, and was hurried through both Houses with undue haste, without reasonable time for consideration and debate, and with not time at all for consultation with our constituents, whose interest it deeply involved. It seemed like an interference by this Government with a question which peculiarly and exclusively belonged to our respective States, on which they had not sought advice or solicited aid. Many of us donated the constitutional power of this Government to make appropriations of money for the object designated; and all of is thought our finances were in no condition to bear the immense outlay which its adoption and faithful execution would impose upon the national treasury. If we pause but a moment to think of the debt its acceptance would have entailed, we are appalled by its magnitude. The proposition was addressed to all the States, and embraced the whole number of slaves. According to the census of 1860 there were then very nearly four million slaves in the country; from natural increase they exceed that number now. At even the low average of three hundred dollars, the price fixed by the emancipation act for the slaves of this District, and greatly below their real worth, their value runs up to the enormous sum of twelve hundred millions of dollars; and if to that we add the cost of deportation and colonization, at one hundred dollars each, which is but a fraction more than is actually paid by the Maryland Colonization Society, we have four hundred millions more! We were not willing to impose a tax on our people sufficient to pay the interest on that sum, in addition to the vast and daily increasing debt already fixed upon them. By the exigencies of the war; and if we had been willing, the country could not bear it. Stated is this form, the proposition is nothing less than the deportation from the country of sixteen hundred million dollars worth of producing labor, and the substitution in its place of an interest-bearing debt of the same amount!
But, if we are told that it was expected that only the States we represent would accept the proposition, we respectfully submit that even then it involves a sum too great for the financial ability of this Government at this time. According to the census of 1860:
Kentucky had……….225,490 slaves
Maryland……….87,188
Virginia……….490,887
Delaware……….1,798
Missouri……….114,965
Tennessee……….275,794
Making it a whole……….1,196,112 [*]
At the same rate of valuation these would amount to ……….$358,833,600
Add for deportation and colonization $100 each……….119,244,588
And we have the enormous sum of $478,078,178
We did not feel that we should be justified in voting for a measure which, if carried,out, would add this vast amount to our public debt at a moment when the treasury was reeling under the enormous expenditure of the war.
Again, it seemed to us that this resolution was but the annunciation of a sentiment which could not or was not likely to be reduced to an actual, tangible proposition. No movement was then made to provide and appropriate the funds required to carry it into effect; and we were not encouraged to believe that funds would be provided. And our belief has been fully justified by subsequent events. Not to mention other circumstances, it is quite sufficient for our purpose to bring to your notice the fact that, while this resolution was under consideration in the senate, our colleague, the Senator from Kentucky, moved all amendment appropriating $500,000 to the object therein designated, and it was voted down with great unanimity. What confidence, then, would we reasonably feel that if we committed ourselves to the policy it proposed, our constituents would reap the fruits of the promise held but; and on what ground could we, as fair men, approach them and challenge their support?
The right to hold slaves is a right appertaining to all the States of this Union. They have the right to cherish or abolish the institution, as their tastes or their interests may prompt, and no one is authorized to question the right, or limit its enjoyment. And no one has more clearly affirmed that right than you have. Your inaugural address did you great honor in this respect, and inspired the country with confidence in your fairness and respect for the law. Our States are in the enjoyment of that right. We do not feel called on to defend the institution, or to affirm it as one that ought to be cherished; perhaps, if we were to make the attempt, we might find that we differ even among ourselves. It is enough for our purpose to know that it is a right; and so knowing, we did not see why we should now be expected to yield it. We had contributed our full share to relieve the country at this terrible crisis; we had done as much as had been required of others in like circumstances; and we did not see why sacrifices could be expected of us from which others, no more loyal, were exempt. Nor could we see what good the nation would derive from it. Such a sacrifice submitted to by us would not have strengthened the arm of this Government or weakened that of the enemy. It was not necessary, as a pledge of our loyalty, for that had been manifested beyond a reasonable doubt, in every form, and at every place possible. There was not the remotest probability that the States we represent would join in the rebellion, nor is there now, of their electing to go with the Southern section in the event of a recognition of the independence of any part of the disaffected region. Our States are fixed unalterably in their resolution to adhere to and support the Union; they see no safety for themselves and no hope for constitutional liberty but by its preservation. They will iunder no circumstances constn to its dissolution, and we do them no more than justice when we assure you that while the war is conducted to prevent that deplorable catastrophe, they will sustain it as long as they can muster a man or command a dollar. Nor will they ever consent, in any event, to unite with the Southern Confederacy. The bitter fruits of the peculiar doctrines of that region will forever prevent them from placing their security and happiness in the custody of an association which has incorporated in its organic law the seeds of its own destruction.
We cannot admit, Mr. President, that if we had voted for the resolution in the emancipation message of March last the war would now be substantially ended. we are unable to see how our action in this particular has given or could give, encouragment to the rebellion. The resolution has passed; and if there be virtue in it, it will be quite as efficacious as if we had noted for it. We have no power to bind our States in this respect by our votes here; and whether we had voted the one way or the other, they are in the same conviction of freedom to accept or reject its provisions. No, sir, the war has not been prolonged or hindered buy our action on this or any other measure. – We must look for other causes for that lamented fact. We think there is not much difficulty, not much uncertainty, in pointing out others far more probable and potent in their agencies to that end.
The rebellion derives its strength from the union of all classes in the insurgent States; and while that union lasts the war will never end until they are utterly exhausted. We know that at the inception of these troubles Southern society was divided, and that a large portion, perhaps a majority, were opposed to Secession. Now the great mass of Southern people are united. To discover why they are so we must glance at Southern society, and notice the classes into which it has been divided, and which still distinguish it. They are in arms, but not for the same objects; they are moved to a common end, but by different and even inconsistent reasons. The leaders, which comprehend what was previously known as the State Rights party, and is much the lesser class, seek to break down national independence and set up State domination. With them it is a war against nationality. The other class is fighting, as it supposes, to maintain and preserve the rights of property and domestic safety, which it has been made to believe are assailed by this Government. This latter class are not disunionists per se; they are so only because they have been made to believe that this Administration is inimical to their rights, and is making war on their domestic institutions. As long as these two classes act together they will never assent to peace. The policy, then, to be pursued is obvious. The former class will never be reconciled, but the latter may be. remove their apprehensions, satisfy them that no harm is intended to them and their institutions; that this Government is not making war on their rights of property, but is simply defending its legitimate authority, and they will gladly return to their allegiance as soon as the pressure of military domination imposed by the Confederate authority is removed from them.
Twelve months ago both Houses of Congress, adopting the spirit of your message, then but recently sent in declared with singular unanimity the objects of the war, and the country instantly bounded to your aside to assist you in carrying it on. If the spirit of that resolution had been adhered to we are confident that we should before now have seen the end of this deplorable conflict. But what have we seen? In both Houses of Congress we have heard doctrines subversive of the principles of the Constitution and scan measure after measure founded in substance on those doctrines proposed and hurried through which can…
Regretfully, that's as far as my copy of the paper goes. I thought I captured the entire article on one page, but didn't look closely enough to see that I needed to look to the following page for the rest of the response. I hope to get the rest soon and, when I do, I'll just add it to the above.
Ultimately, I consider this find incredibly interesting regarding the issue of slavery and the struggle between Lincoln and the representatives from the border slaveholding states. Clearly, the representatives were quite aware of the financial impact of emancipation, but they were also quite conscious of the concerns of the people they represented. At the same time, however, they were adamant about remaining with the Union. I rank these people with those who should be considered unconditional Unionists; perhaps the highest order of this group considering the fact that, not unlike deeper points in the South, slavery ranked as a major factor in compromising that unconditional sentiment.
Additionally, the last part of this piece gives us a wonderful bonus. I think the representatives' assessment of the people of the South was spot-on and brilliant. As time would reveal, the disaffection and disillusionment of a significant number of the common people toward the Confederacy would be instrumental in sounding the death knell of the Confederacy.
All-in-all, I consider this piece a great find in advancing my understanding of the people from the area in which Cole's Cavalry was recruited.
* Note that the census data on slaves presented in this article doesn't quite match with the actual figures (see an earlier post here). Not a huge difference, but still a difference.

One name for the little spherical type elements from later-model IBM electric typewriters. Just about the size of a golf ball, but, naturally, much goofier, they have the typewriter font characters arrayed around their outer surface in raised relief. W hen a letter is typed, the mechanism swiftly rotates the goofball to the desired letter and punches it against the typewriter ribbon (usually a carbon ribbon rather than cloth).

Most of us probably first learned goofball as a term for a silly or goofy person. In my experience, goofball is used mostly by adults talking to children ("you're such a goofball"), although anyone is free to call anyone else a goofball. You might hear someone refer to another person's goofball sense of humor, goofball antics, or goofball charm. Generally it's a good (although goofy) thing.
Goofball can also be used to refer to a stupid or eccentric person, although this is less common.
Strangely, there is not much etymological information about the word goofball, but it probably originated in America (the birthplace of the word goof), in the late 1930s to refer to narcotics. It first started being used in the sense of a goofy person in 1959. I suspect that the goofy sense of goofball arose independently from the drug reference; screwball (meaning an eccentric person) had been in use since 1933; oddball had been around since the 1940s. Goof had been around since 1906. The jump from screwball and oddball to goofball was a small one*.
* I haven't been able to find any dates for nutball, sleazeball, greaseball, or slimeball, but clearly the suffix -ball is quite popular amongst slangsters.

Nautican models - a possible Lobstrosity miniature ?
I thought this was a potential candidate for a lobstrosity. Also, I understand that a new "Queen" version is coming out next year which might make for a Grandimanus (the champion of a lobstrosity unit) although I have not seen the new model yet.
I need to get exact measurements because I think it's a 30mm figure (but that ahould be close enough).
Edit: Hydraminiatures informed me the dimensions of the model are as follows:- "... 47mm tall from the bottom of the cast-on base to the top of the carapace. It will fit well on a 40mm square base."
I might have to rethink the Lobstrosity rules/profile if we go with this model because they are meant to be on 25x25mm bases. I do like the model though because it's the most appropriate one I have found so far.


Ahhh! mine was terrible, I was in gym class in about the fifth grade... we were doing sit ups and I was the last to go... so everyone was standing around me waiting for me to finish.. and then I just farted! Oh god, it was terrible... everyone was grossed out and laughing.... I was so embarrassed!!!

Questionnaire Content
Core Content
The Health Insurance section of the NHIS Family Core (FHI) has a full range of data items addressing health insurance. A family respondent answers these questions about all family members. However, individual members present can also respond to the questions as well. Although the questions are asked on the Family Core component of the questionnaire, health insurance coverage status is collected for each family member. The flow of the questions pertaining to health insurance programs in this section has been similar since 1997. The FHI section begins by asking an overall question of whether anyone in the family has health insurance coverage. If there is a positive response to this initial overall question, then the types of coverage are collected for each family member. The types include "no coverage of any type," in case one or more family members are uninsured but others are not. The questions about types of coverage are followed by detailed questions about each coverage type collected on a person basis, with an exception of detailed questions about private plans which are asked by plan, for up to four plans per family. If there is a negative response to the initial overall question, then all family members are marked as not having health insurance coverage and the appropriate follow-up questions for those who lack coverage are asked. The FHI section ends with a series of family-level questions about out-of-pocket expenses, flexible spending accounts, and problems paying medical bills.
In summary, since 1997the FHI core section included questions on several different topic areas:
Type of health care coverage (Medicare, Medicaid, Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP), military (TRICARE, VA, CHAMP-VA), other state-sponsored health plans, Indian Health Service, other government programs, private insurance and single service plans);
Characteristics of managed care arrangements including the need for referrals for those covered by Medicare, Medicaid, Children's Health Insurance Program, other state-sponsored health plans and other government programs;
Enrollment in a Medicare managed care;
Enrollment in the Medicare Part D prescription drug program;
Characteristics of private insurance
covered individuals' relationships to the policyholder
coverage of individuals outside the household
Health Maintenance Organization (HMO), Preferred Provider Organization (PPO), and Point-of-Service (POS) status
enrollment in high deductible health plans (deductible amount adjusted annually for inflation)
enrollment in health savings accounts or health reimbursement agreements for high deductible plans
how private plans were obtained
existence of employer subsidies for premiums
amount paid by employer
amount paid by individual/family
need for a referral
prescription drug benefit
Types of single service plans;
Type of TRICARE coverage;
Periods of time without health insurance and reasons for no health insurance;
Out-of-pocket costs in the past year for medical expenses (excluding health insurance premiums); and
Enrollment in a flexible spending account (FSA) for medical expenses.
A new question was added to the FHI core section beginning with Quarter 4 of 2013to ascertain if premiums paid by an individual or family for their private health insurance plans were based on income (PLNPRE1 and PLNPRE2). This question is intended to provide a baseline estimate of the number of persons covered by private health insurance plans that are tiered by their employers, prior to the availability of private health insurance through the Federal Health Insurance Marketplace or state-based exchanges.
In 2014, to take into account the Affordable Care Act of 2010 (P.L. 111-148, P.L. 111-152) (ACA), several new questions were added to the FHI section to capture health care coverage obtained through the Health Insurance Marketplace or state-based exchanges. These new questions were asked for persons covered by public plans (Medicaid, CHIP, state-sponsored health plans, and other government programs) as well as for those on private health insurance. This acknowledges that some respondents perceive exchange coverage as a public program, and other respondents perceive exchange coverage as private health insurance. For persons who indicate Medicaid, CHIP, state-sponsored health plans, other government programs, they were asked if they obtained this coverage through Healthcare.gov, the Health Insurance Marketplace, or the name of their state's exchange. This was followed by a question that asked if there was a premium or enrollment fee associated with the plan. If this was the case, the respondents were asked if this premium was based on income. For persons covered by private insurance plans that were not employment-based, respondents were asked if the plan was obtained through Healthcare.gov, the Health Insurance Marketplace, or the name of their state's exchange. In addition, for any plan where the family is paying a portion of the premium, an additional question was added to ascertain whether the premium was based on income (added October 2013).
In addition to the core health insurance questions, additional supplemental questions have been included since 2011. The purpose of the FHI supplemental questions is to provide additional information about the following topic areas:
Relationship of the covered individual to the policyholder;
Employer contributions to private plan premiums and if premiums were based on income;
Primary care provider requirement;
Confidence in purchasing affordable private health insurance on one's own;
Previous health insurance coverage for persons who are either uninsured or who have had a change in insurance coverage within the past year;
Difficulty paying medical bills, paying medical bills over time, and having medical bills that cannot be paid at all.
Coverage variables are available on the Person File, which enables analysts to look at coverage for each family member. In addition, selected insurance coverage summary variables are created for the Family File. The inclusion of the FHI section on the Family File is intended to make it easier to analyze insurance data on a family basis.

"Five Reasons to Stay Out After Dark in Northern Michigan" by Aubrieta V. Hope
I love to photograph the night sky! It's a peaceful and beautiful time to enjoy my favorite beaches and hilltops in northern Michigan. I wrote an article for Pure Michigan that describes five reasons to linger outdoors up north after the sun dips below the horizon.
Very few places on earth are as beautiful and melodic as northern Michigan after sunset. The night sky beckons us with a million, twinkling reasons to stay up late. And, the wild creatures call us as well. Coyotes cry out from distant hilltops, their voices joined by cicadas, frogs, and songbirds. Unlike many parts of the U.S., where city lights outshine the stars and traffic noises drown out the sounds of wildlife, the night is naturally dark and alive in northern Michigan.
For the most vivid night skies, visit a park or rural area near one of the Great Lakes, such as Sleeping Bear Dunes, Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, or Headlands International Dark Sky Park. Spritz on some bug spray, pack a blanket and snacks, pop a headlamp on your head (the kind with a red-light setting), and try these ideas for experiencing the night sky ...
1. Stay and Enjoy the Twilight Glow
Many people watch the sunset and leave, missing the beauty and peace of twilight. If you can, stay for the encore! That's when the sky catches fire, glowing red, orange and pink, the embers burning to charcoal, and deepening to blue until the stars emerge and night falls. Listen to the music of the night, the chorus of wildlife, and the whisper of wind and waves.
2. Take a Walk in the Moonlight
The sight of a full moon rising, casting a silver path across the water is mesmerizing. In open areas, such as beaches or dunes, even a waning moon shines quite brightly. Wander at will, but bring along your red-light headlamp to preserve your night vision in case you need extra light.
"Strawberry Moon Over Glen Lake"The full "Strawberry Moon" rises over Glen Lake as seen from atop The Dune Climb at Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, Michigan.
3. Catch the Northern Lights
What can be more memorable than seeing the northern lights sweep across the sky? To increase your chances of catching them, spend time in a dark, open area with a clear view to the north. If you notice the northern horizon brightening just after nightfall, stick around! It just might be the northern lights. Many websites and phone apps provide northern lights forecasts. I use www.softservenews.com and www.swpc.noaa.gov.
4. Look for Ghosts in a Ghost Town
Michigan has a surprising number of ghost towns that are spooky-fun to stroll at night (unless prohibited). The past always seems much closer after dark! My favorite ghost towns are at Glen Haven and South Manitou Island in Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. I've not met any ghosts there (yet). But, I have seen beautiful night skies above each. (Glen Haven is a great place to watch the northern lights.) For lists of ghost towns, check out www.ghosttowns.com/states/mi or www.exploringthenorth.com/ghost/towns.

5. Make a Wish Upon a Falling Star
You won't need a telescope on a clear, moonless night in northern Michigan to see the stars. But you will need lots of wishes: falling stars happen all the time! Sometimes, as in this scene, shooting stars and the Milky Way appear simultaneously. This year, the best nights for wishing will be August 9-13 (during the Perseid Meteor Showers).

The geology of Turkey is the product of a wide variety of tectonic processes that have shaped Anatolia over millions of years, a process which continue today as evidenced by frequent earthquakes and occasional volcanic eruptions.
Turkey's terrain is structurally complex. A central massif composed of uplifted blocks and downfolded troughs, covered by recent deposits and giving the appearance of a plateau with rough terrain, is wedged between two folded mountain ranges that converge in the east. True lowland is confined to the plain of the Ergene river in Thrace, extending along rivers that discharge into the Aegean Sea or the Sea of Marmara, and to a few narrow coastal strips along the Black Sea and Mediterranean Sea coasts.
Nearly 85% of the land is at an elevation of at least 450 meters; the median altitude of the country is 1,128 meters. In Asiatic Turkey, flat or gently sloping land is rare and largely confined to the deltas of the Kızıl River, the coastal plains of Antalya and Adana, and the valley floors of the Gediz River and the Büyük Menderes River, and some interior high plains in Anatolia, mainly around Tuz Gölü (Salt Lake) and Konya Ovası (Konya Basin). Moderately sloping terrain is limited almost entirely outside Thrace to the hills of the Arabian Platform along the border with Syria.
More than 80% of the land surface is rough, broken, and mountainous, and therefore is of limited agricultural value. The terrain's ruggedness is accentuated in the eastern part of the country, where the two mountain ranges converge into a lofty region with a median elevation of more than 1,500 meters, which reaches its highest point along the borders with Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Iran. Turkey's highest peak, Mount Ararat (Ağrı Dağı)—about 5,166 meters high—is situated near the point where the boundaries of the four countries meet.
The earliest geological history of Turkey is poorly understood, partly because these oldest rocks in the region are involved into younger deformation phases that hindered their evolution. This created problem of reconstructing how the region has been tectonically assembled by plate motions. Turkey can be thought of as a collage of different continental pieces and remnants of oceanic lithospheric rocks amalgamated together by younger tectonic processes that involve accumulation of igneous (both plutonic and volcanic) and sedimentary rocks.
Except for a relatively small portion of its territory along the Syrian border that is a continuation of the Arabian Plate, Turkey geologically is part of the great Alpine belt that extends from the Atlantic Ocean to the Himalaya Mountains. This belt was formed during the Cenozoic Era (about 66 to 1.6 million years ago), as the Arabian, African, and Indian continental plates began to collide with the Eurasian Plate. This process is still at work today as the African Plate converges with the Eurasian Plate and the Anatolian Plate escapes towards the west and southwest along strike-slip faults. These are the North Anatolian Fault Zone, which forms the present day plate boundary of Eurasia near the Black Sea coast and, the East Anatolian Fault Zone, which forms part of the boundary of the North Arabian Plate in the southeast. As a result of this plate tectonics configuration, Turkey is one of the world's more active earthquake and volcanic regions.
The Anatolian Plate, together with the Aegean-Peloponnesus block, is located near the centre of a very wide region, including the Arabian Plate with the adjacent Zagros Mountains and central Iran, that moves in a circulatory pattern at a relatively fast rate of 20 mm/yr. The rate of this counter-clockwise motion increases near the Hellenic Trench system south of Turkey and decreases away from it (i.e. the Eurasian and African plates move at a rate of 5 mm/yr), resulting in internal deformations in several areas, including central and eastern Anatolia, south-western Aegean-Peloponnesus, Lesser Caucasus, and central Iran. The dominant process in the region is the subduction of the African Plate beneath the Hellenic Trench, and the deformation in the entire African-Arabian-Eurasian collision zone is most likely driven by the slab roll-back of the subducting African Plate in the East Mediterranean. This process is further fuelled by slab-pull forces in the Makran Trench in the Gulf of Oman where the Arabian Plate is subducting under Eurasia. A response to this tectonic maelstrom is the rifting in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden which will separate Arabia from Africa.
Many of the rocks exposed in Turkey were formed long before this process began. Turkey contains outcrops of Precambrian rocks, (more than 540 million years old).
During the Mesozoic era (about 250 to 66 million years ago) a large ocean (Tethys Ocean), floored by oceanic lithosphere existed in-between the supercontinents of Gondwana and Laurasia (which lay to the south and north respectively). This large oceanic plate was consumed at subduction zones. At the subduction trenches the sedimentary rock layers that were deposited within the prehistoric Tethys Ocean were folded, faulted and tectonically mixed with huge blocks of crystalline basement rocks of the oceanic lithosphere. These blocks form a very complex mixture or mélange of rocks that include mainly serpentinite, basalt, dolerite, and chert. The Eurasian margin, now preserved in the Pontides (the Pontic Mountains along the Black Sea coast), is thought to have been geologically similar to the Western Pacific region today. Volcanic arcs and back-arc basins formed and were emplaced onto Eurasia as ophiolites as they collided with microcontinents (literally relatively small plates of continental lithosphere). These microcontinents had been pulled away from the Gondwanan continent further south. Turkey is therefore made up from several different prehistorical microcontinents.
During the Cenozoic (Tertiary about 66 to 1.6 million years) folding, faulting and uplifting, accompanied by volcanic activity and intrusion of igneous rocks was related to major continental collision between the larger Arabian and Eurasian plates.
Turkey's most severe earthquake in the twentieth century occurred in Erzincan on the night of 1939-12-27; it devastated most of the city and caused an estimated 30,000 deaths. Earthquakes of moderate intensity often continue with sporadic aftershocks over periods of several days or even weeks. The most earthquake-prone part of Turkey is an arc-shaped region stretching from the general vicinity of Kocaeli to the area north of Lake Van on the border with Armenia and Georgia.

Q: basic delay on jquery .click function I have the most basic jquery function of them all, but I couldn't find a way in the documentation to trigger the contents of this click function after say 1500 milliseconds:
$('.masonryRecall').click(function(){
  $('#mainContent').masonry();
 });

P.S. just noticed the .delay function jquery 1.4, although, I am using version 1.3. I don't know whether updating this would interfere with any of the other javascript I currently have.

A: You can do it with regular javascript using setTimeout().
$('.masonryRecall').click(function(){
        setTimeout("$('#mainContent').masonry()", 1500);
    });

A: You should generally stay away from string literals in setTimeout/setInterval. Instead use a closure:
setTimeout(function(){ $('#mainContent').masonry(); }, 1500);`

and even better use it like this (note: the outer closure isn't really necessary):
(function($){
    var timeout=null;
    $('.masonryRecall').click(function(){
        clearTimeout(timeout);
        timeout=setTimeout(function(){$('#mainContent').masonry();}, 1500);
    });
}(jQuery));

Q: How to get the last part of a list containing floats, strings and special characters in Python when splitting? I need to get the last part of a list that I have fetched with readlines(). This is a part of the string / list:
['Some Name__________2.0 2.0 1.3\n', 'Some Name__________1.0 9.0 1.0\n', # and so on....]

I solely want to get the numbers and ignore the rest of them, but how do I do that? So I want this:
2.0 2.0 1.3

To get the name part, I know I need to use split("_") and use an index to fetch it...
When I try getting the numbers, though, I fail, because it just outputs nothing in the console.
This is the code that gets the names:
def openFile():
    fileFolder = open('TEXTFILE', 'r')
    readFile = fileFolder.readlines()

    for line in readFile:
        line = line.split("_")

        personNames = line[0]

        print personNames

print openFile()

I thought that using line[2] or line[3] would be sufficient to get the numbers as well, but it isn't. Can someone explain to me why that is not working and how I could get it to work, while using my style of code instead of importing stuff?
Is there something like a range or something that could say to split() just to get the last part of it?

A: Based on your last question, you haven't gotten rid of those empty strings in this solution yet. So line[2] and line[3] didn't work because they're probably empty strings that are '_'s originally:
readFile = ['Some name____2.0 2.1 1.3','Some other name_____2.2 3.4 1.1']
Here's how I would do it:
def openFile():
    readFile = ['Some name____2.0 2.1 1.3\n','Some other name_____2.2 3.4 1.1\n']

    data=[]

    for line in readFile:
        line = (line.rstrip()).split("_") #EDIT: Strip the newline character in this line
        data.append(line [-1].split(' '))

    print(data)

openFile()

A: blah=['name____2.0 2.0 1.3\n', 'aaahha____1.0 9.0 1.0\n', 'fasdkflj_________2 3 9.2']
blah2=[b.split('_')[-1].strip() for b in blah]

Output:
['2.0 2.0 1.3', '1.0 9.0 1.0', '2 3 9.2']

You can then split each item in this output with .split(' ') if you want actual numbers instead of strings containing numbers.

A: l = ['Some Name__________2.0 2.0 1.3\n', 'Some Name__________1.0 9.0 1.0\n']

names = []
numbers = []
for line in l:
    line = line.strip().replace("_", " ").split()
    names.append(line[0] + " " + line[1])
    for s in line:
        try:
            numbers.append(float(s))
        except ValueError:
            pass
print(names)
print(numbers)
# ['Some Name', 'Some Name']
# [2.0, 2.0, 1.3, 1.0, 9.0, 1.0]

But FTW:
import re
l = ['Some Name__________2.0 2.0 1.3\n', 'Some Name__________1.0 9.0 1.0\n']
print([re.findall("[-+]?\d+[\.]?\d*[eE]?[-+]?\d*", s) for s in l])

If you want to feel more confident and sexier then it is more than possible for you to do this. You'd be surprised at how easy it is for you to look and feel great, not to mention that it is very easy for you to really step your game.
If you want to feel confident in the clothing that you wear then you will want to embrace the best possible features that you have. If you love your legs but like to conceal your waist then do this, and don't feel bad about it. You also need to know how to flaunt your best features as well, as this will help you to feel great about yourself and your body. A lot of people look the best when they feel the best, and these two usually go hand-in-hand. Remember that not everything has to be on show either, so if you have a pair of custom socks and they make you feel good then make sure that you wear them at every opportunity.
You may want to experiment with your style and there is absolutely nothing wrong with this, but if you do feel uncertain about an outfit before you leave the house then it's a good idea to change. The last thing that you need is to worry about what you are wearing when you are out and when you can't do anything about it, so before you leave, give yourself a good look in the mirror and know that you are absolutely happy. If you're not sure if the jacket you are wearing goes with the outfit then don't be afraid to change it.
Explore your closet and try and pick out a huge range of different colours. When you are able to do this, you can then pick out which hues work with you and which ones don't. You'll want to look out for the ones that go best with your complexion and you'll also want to see what works together as well. This will help you to come up with a killer outfit that will really knock your style out of the park, not to mention that it will also make you feel much more confident about yourself as well.
The easiest way for you to be sure about your outfit would be for you to develop a look that you can call your signature. This will really help you to personalise your other outfits and it will also help you to have a good go-to outfit that you can really count on as well. You'd be surprised at how easy it is for you to really feel confident about the clothes that are already in your wardrobe when you do this, not to mention that you can easily jazz up outfits from years ago as well.
So there are many ways that you can embrace your style, and there has never been a better time for you to route through your wardrobe and make a change.

News Release: Spotlight Finds Four Nebraskans for Helping State's Youth
June 5, 2015 /in Board Posts, Conference, News /by njja_employee_admin
(Award winners (L to R) Dr. Kenneth Zoucha, Erin Curran, Raevin Bigelow, and NJJA President Mike Renn)
KEARNEY – "I was just doing my job," is a statement that means more for some than others. At this year's Nebraska Juvenile Justice Association Conference, four people were recognized for doing so much more than the job required. All award recipients worked to help youth climb out of difficult situations, recover from deep physical and emotional traumas, and piece their lives back together.
The NJJA Service Awards recognize youth and juvenile justice professionals whose outstanding efforts have improved or strengthened the juvenile justice community in Nebraska. Earlier this month, NJJA and the Nebraska Coalition for Juvenile Justice presented the following awards:
Spirit of Youth Award: Raevin Bigalow
Ms. Bigelow, a former system-involved youth, was recognized for her resilience in the face of many life challenges. In her acceptance speech, she thanked the professionals in the room for their dedication to young people like her. Ms. Bigelow is the proud mother of a two-year old daughter and plans to become a motivational speaker and youth pastor.
Commitment to Excellence in Leadership Award: Dr. Kenneth Zoucha
Dr. Zoucha, Medical Director at Hastings Juvenile Chemical Dependency Program, was recognized for his outstanding leadership in serving youth and families in contact with the juvenile justice system. According to NJJA President Mike Renn, "Dr Zoucha has quietly, and without much fanfare, provided important guidance and programming for youth and families who struggling with addiction."
Evenly E. Labode Service to Youth Award: Erin Curran
Ms. Curran, an Intensive Family Preservation Therapist for KVC in Omaha, received the award for her commitment, initiative and advocacy on behalf of youth and families in Nebraska. Erin has worked as a therapist and foster care specialist for five years and is known for the individualized attention she gives each of her families – as well as acting as a roll model to her peers.
Scholarship Award: Hailey Kaderabek
Ms. Kaderabek of Kayki, NE, is a senior at Peru State College with a major in Criminal Justice and Psychology. She was recognized as an excellent scholar working towards a career in juvenile justice. She is a peer mentor, tutor, and member of the Alpha Epsilon criminal justice club and expects to graduate this May.

Conference Documents Now Available Nebraska Probation Announces Poster Contest


A former guest on Dr. Phil's talk show claims her mental illness became the subject of scorn and ridicule, causing her to have a breakdown -- but sources on the show tell us she didn't present herself as mentally ill, but falsely claimed to be the therapist of another guest.
The woman, named Kaden Mahaffa, says she was on Phil's show back in February 2017, but says her boyfriend was really supposed to be the focus during a show about childhood abuse. Kaden claims she was going to be on the show purely to support him, but during a pre-interview she told producers she has x-ray vision, the ability to hear people's thoughts, and other psychic abilities.
According to the suit, when Kaden went onstage she became the focus of Dr. Phil's questions. She claims he grilled her with hostile questions about her "sanity and beliefs" -- including asking her, "Can you tell me what I'm thinking right now?"
Now, what's clear when you see the clip is Kaden claimed to be providing more than emotional support for her bf, she claimed to be his therapist. Phil did grill her, but mostly about her credentials as a therapist.

Q: Is there any console "graphics" library for .Net? My basic goal here is writing a .NET remake of Kingdom of Kroz. For those not familiar with the game:
http://www.indiefaqs.com/index.php/Kingdom_of_Kroz
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHwlNAFXpIw
Originally it was supposed to be a quick distraction project to give me a break from all the generic enterprise WCF/WF/LINQ2SQL/etc work projects occupying most of my time lately. While the result of my effort is playable, it looks like absolute arse (even for a console-based game) because of the way I'm redrawing everything in each frame.
I'm aware of some alternate approaches but in the brief tests I've done they still don't offer significant performance or aesthetic benefits. I don't want to resort to a library which 'emulates' a console if I can help it. I'd prefer to work with the proper Win32 console API under the hood, but not to work with it directly if I can help it. Keeping in mind that it's a distinctly niche use case, what would be the 'generally' accepted best approach for this? Are there any particularly optimal console 'drawing' techniques one should be aware of? I don't mind swimming in a sea of PInvoke and marshalling as long as it still ends up with a fast, responsive and efficient console UI.

A: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms682073(v=VS.85).aspx
Some/many of these functions you might need to use P/Invoke for, but they should do what you need.  You can write at arbitrary locations in the buffer and get key-based, non-buffered input.  Usually you start with GetStdHandle() to get handles to the console input and output "streams" and then you call one of the appropriate functions from the above list to do something, like WriteConsoleOutputCharacter(), or PeekConsoleInput().
I once wrote a library to create an in-process windowing system using the Windows console and plain Win32 on C.  Fun project, but I don't know where it is now.

A: You could try Curses-Sharp http://sourceforge.net/projects/curses-sharp/ or libtcod https://github.com/chamons/libtcod-net
curses-sharp is a "A full featured, object-oriented, multi-platform C# wrapper for the curses terminal control library. "
and libtcod is "...a free, fast, portable and uncomplicated API for roguelike developpers providing an advanced true color console, input, and lots of other utilities frequently used in roguelikes."

A: Consider checking out the pdcurses or ncurses library.  I am using it in Visual C++ and while you are specifying C#, it may be of use to you. It is made for console gaming and I am using it in several projects.  It will eliminate the need to utilize a callback refreshing the screen as you will be able to move the character (represented as an ASCII character) without refreshing the screen.

This cup of coffee smells like the best chocolate covered cherries you can buy: the real sun-dried variety with rich milk chocolate. That introduction is backed up by flavor in the cup that adds a vanilla bean note with very slight hints of hazelnut. The cup is smooth and bright with absolutely no bitterness at all (Tempe is a very happy girl).

After doing certain changes in my web.config when i add the https as service reference in wcf test client i get the below error.

This is the error what i get when i try to add the service to wcf test client.What is the reason for this error.How to get rid of this error.
According to my knowledge i guess the client couldn't find the requested action in the server.Do i need to change in web.config??

A: The client's endpoints and the service's endpoints do no match
    <client>
    <endpoint binding="customBinding" bindingConfiguration="WebHttpBinding_ImyService"
        contract="IEventLoggerService" name="WebHttpBinding_ImyService" />
    </client>

<service name="Implementation.EventLoggerService" behaviorConfiguration="serviceBehavior">
    <endpoint address="" binding="webHttpBinding" contract="Contract.IAccountService" behaviorConfiguration="httpEndpointBehavour"bindingConfiguration="webHttpBinding" />
    <endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpsBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange" />
</service>

If you look at the addresses of your services they clearly do no match the address that your client is listening to. additionally there is no service fulfilling the IEventLoggerService contract.
is it possible that you are missing a service endpoint?
EDIT:
The problem you are having is that this client endpoint in your web.config file does not have a service listening to it
<client>
  <endpoint address="https://test.myservice.com/rally_generic_ws.do?SOAP"
       binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="WCFsoap"
       contract="serviceName.WCFsoap" name="WCFsoap" />
</client>

Now I am making a big assumption here -> that the service who's reading your web.config file is meant to be both the producer and consumer of this service. Assuming that, I would suggest adding another Service endpoint nested within your services tags in the web.config file
<endpoint address = "https://test.myservicenowmyservice.com/rally_generic_ws.do?SOAP"
contract = "serviceName.WCFSoap"  binding = "BasicHttpBinding" name ="WCFsoap"
bindingConfiguration ="WCFsoap"/>

Now if your service is meant to fulfill the serviceName.WCFSoap contract, this should work fine. If not, then you should ensure whatever service is meant to fulfill that contract does in fact have that endpoint.
Hope this helps


The Art of Maine in Winter (Down East Books, 96pp, $35) is another in the handsome series put together by art commentator, Carl Little and picture editor, Arnold Skolnick. Other titles by this team include Paintings of Maine, Paintings of New England and Edward Hopper's New England. Clearly, the two are familiar with the territory.
This volume is a departure from the norm, however, in the exclusivity of its subject: the generally considered, least popular of northern seasons, winter. The 93 works by 75 American artists is accompanied by writings about Maine winters from several generations of authors. And, instead of being another survey of pretty pictures, the book turns out to be a polemic, albeit a gentle one.
Unless you're deeply into winter sports, the splendors and virtues of a Maine winter may elude you. But consider that most, if not all, the artists and writers represented in this book chose to live through at least one. Some confess to preferring the "off" season. Their responses vary with their experiences, their talent and their times but all are compelling.
An 1898 oil by Dolly Smith depicts a skating scene in a serene, yet utterly frozen landscape. Her style is reminiscent of Currier and Ives. A 1999 interpretation of the same activity by Jill Hoy is hot in spite of the blue ice. Skaters are aggressive and muscular. They cast sinewy purple shadows. This is not a Sunday afternoon social. This is lycra-encased exercise for the never still. The painting's strong appeal comes from the weaving of body shapes with their shadows on the ice and the strong colors of a moonlit night and firelight. A 1999 woodcut by Siri Beckman also depicts skaters in yet a third interpretive style, stark and eerily empty in spite of the human activity.
Human enterprise is more often subject matter than one would expect in these paintings of winter. Early works by George Hallowell (1914), Eastman Johnson (1868) and Carl Sprinchorn (1946) depict logging and woodlot scenes. Ice cutting caught the attention of Marsden Hartley (1908) and Dahlov Ipcar (1938). Commercial winter fishing is the subject of oil paintings by Andrew Winter (1936) and Don Stone (2001). Ice fishing inspires Lois Dodd (1983) and Jay DeMartine (2002).
Other contemporary painters are drawn to village and city scenes. David Campbell's Parking Garage at Portland Harbor (2001) depicts a thoroughly shut down, monochromatic city, two figures walking down the middle of a deserted street, a hint of sun subtlely brightening the surface of the harbor. For all its hard industrial shapes, the city's quiet has a strong and haunting appeal. Linden Frederick (1999), Ann Lofquist (2001) and Maurice "Jake" Day (1950s) paint villages and towns sometimes benignly softened, sometimes buried in snow. A personal favorite is a selection of interiors which uniformly depict the brilliance of the winter sun as it enlivens and warms the rooms which shelter us.
T he balance of the book contains myriad interpretations of the winter landscape and speaks directly to the variety of individual response. None of us experiences a moment, let alone a season, in the same way but we are all grateful when one shares his/her response to beauty, especially when it might otherwise have gone unnoticed.
We highly recommend this handsome, crisply produced book for holiday giving to the Maine lovers, art lovers and winter curmudgeons (or enthusiasts) on your list.

Lock picking is a skill that can be learned in a few minutes. Mastering that skill takes much longer. There are many small lessons to learn as you progress from beginning lock picker to master. Here are the 5 most common mistakes beginning lock pickers make and how to overcome them. If you're brand new to lock picking and need a basic instruction guide, you can find one here.
Really, you're using too much force on that tension wrench. It's normal, everybody does it the first time. You really, really want that lock to turn so you are almost certainly applying too much force to that tension wrench. The problem is that too much force causes the pins to bind. It's hard to lift a pin that's being pinched and if you do lift a pin, that pin tends to get pinched and will stay wherever you push it – not necessarily where it belongs.
How do you know the right amount of force to apply? That's easy. Open the lock with the key and pay careful attention to how hard you have to turn the key. It's a surprisingly light amount of force, isn't it? Some locks may be spring loaded and may require a slightly heavier hand, but most locks turn almost effortlessly. So, how much turning force do you need? A tiny, tiny bit more than you used to turn the key.
Okay, you have the turning force figured out but now you're pounding away on the pins with your lock pick. You lift, pry, and jamb those pins into submission. But that's not how a key works. As you gently insert a key, the pins ride ever-so-gently up and down on the cut ridges of the key's cut edge – until each pin comes to a gentle rest at its proper height.
And, as that key slides into the lock, that key is lifting all of the pins at the same time. You only need to lift one pin at a time with your lock pick. Since you're doing less work than that key was doing, you're lifting force can be less than the force needed to insert the key.
Way back before you knew about Tip #1 above, your heavy-handed turning force was making it difficult to lift the pins. But now that you have your tension wrench under control, you can start lifting the lock pins very, very gently. We've all bent a pick or two. But if you're bending picks, you're doing it wrong – very wrong.
You're probably familiar with the two most common lock picking techniques: raking and single pin picking (SPP). Both are fine but neither is perfect.
When you rake a lock, you slide a jagged pick in and out of the lock. As the pick slides under the pins, it raises and lowers each pin. If you rake quickly (still remembering Tip #2 and being gentle), you can sort of (gently) bang the pins around until each pin has found the shear line and the lock turns. But not all locks will yield to raking. After raking a lock for a few seconds, you may have 2, 3, or 4 pins set at the shear line and the lock is almost picked. But the remaining pin or two may not be set. Raking will often get you close but not close enough.
Lock picking purists want you to Single Pin Pick every lock. SPP does ensure that every pin has gotten individual attention and it's the only way to get the feel for what's happening when you pick a lock. Where raking fails, SPP often works. What's wrong with SPP? Nothing – except that it can be a very slow way to pick a lock.
So…cheat a little. Rake the lock for a few seconds to set several of the pins at the shear line and then switch to SPP to beat the remaining pins.
You've been fighting with a particular lock for a long time. When you release the turning force on your tension wrench, you hear the lock pins drop. You know that pins are being set at the shear line because you can hear them when they are released. But, the lock still won't open. You're counting the dropping pins as you slowly let off pressure. With the lock to your ear, you slowly lighten the turning force and you hear 1 click…2 clicks…3 clicks…4 clicks…5 clicks. It's a 5 pin lock so that's all the pins there are. How is it possible that all 5 pins were at the shear line but the lock wouldn't open?
Just because 5 pins are floating – raised in their chambers – doesn't mean they are all at the shear line. Sometimes pins get pinched and will stay up in the air. Sometimes a pin gets stuck in a position that is higher than the shear line. No amount of lifting with a lock pick is going to fix this since the pin is already lifted too far. This is much more likely to happen if you have a heavy hand and are violating Tip #1 but it can happen at other times too.
The fix? Lighten your turning force until you start to hear pins drop. If one pin is bound above the shear line, you can often let that pin drop back into its normal position by slowly, and slightly reducing the turning force until you hear a single pin drop. If you're careful (and lucky) you can let the single over-lifted pin drop without losing the other pins that are at the shear line. After you've heard that one pin drop – start picking again.
You want the lock pins to stay in the picked position when they reach the shear line. You do not want pins staying in the raised position because they are pinched. Friction is your enemy. Friction allows pins to become pinched. We already talked about using a light touch to reduce the tendency of pins to bind. The other secret to reducing friction is lubrication.
Lock aficionados and locksmiths will tell you not to use any type of oil to lubricate a lock. Oil attracts dirt and dust. Oil mixed with dirt becomes thick, gummy, sludge in a lock cylinder and makes it hard for pins to slide freely. Dry lubricants, such as powdered graphite, are recommended for locks. But, it's your choice whether to use a dry lubricant or to recklessly throw caution to the wind and squirt a little WD-40 into your lock. Either way, you will find that locks pick easier with a little lubrication.
