Recipe I used today can serve a big group of 7 – 10. For smaller portion, you may half the ingredients or even use a third. Apologies for the "agaration" but I had done research on the net and experimented a few times using an amalgamation of several recipes found. Below is the best, I feel, for my recipe below. Simple and easy.
2 packets of tau kwa (I got the regular ones, not the mini ones. Mini ones may 'disappear' after cooking / frying *LOL*).
A handful of dried shrimps (hey bee), soaked in water, and then pounded slightly (or use food processor to pulse a bit). You may also use the whole shrimps. Remember to keep the shrimp water.
1. Bring a pot of water to boil and dump the vermicelli into the pot. Just blanch for 2-3 minutes and drain. Set aside.
2. Heat wok until hot with oil. Stir fry the diced onions for a couple of minutes or so.
3. Add the dried shrimps and cook until fragrant.
4. Add the prawns and cook until just turn pink.
6. If you use cockles, you may stir fry them now until cooked to your liking and set aside. Or you may just dump the whole lot at the end (after all the cooking) – if you prefer more raw taste. Same goes for the bean sprouts.
7. Without adding more oil, using the same wok, stir fry the sliced fish cakes until not so wet anymore. Set aside.
9. Without adding any more oil, pour the Laksa Paste onto the wok. Stir fry a bit. Then, add the packet of Kara coconut cream and stir fry until just turn hot.
10. Add the vermicelli to the wok. Mix until coated.
11. Add the rest of the cooked ingredients (dried shrimps, prawns, tau kwa, fish cake, cockles and bean sprouts, laksa leaves). Add the laksa leaves last and leave some to garnish on the dish. Mix evenly. I recommend using a large spatula together with chop sticks to do the mixing.
12. Now do the taste test - you may add the shrimp paste water and/ or any other seasoning you wish (fish sauce or light soya sauce) if you find it not salty enough or too spicy.

Q: Efficient way to get all commits relevant to a merge? Let's say I have a complicated octopus merge between the branches A, B, and C below:
---1---o---A
    \ /
     X
    / \
---2---o---o---B
            \
             o---C

This is similar to what is described in http://git-scm.com/docs/git-merge-base#_discussion
I can easily obtain 1 and 2 from git, using git merge-base --all --octopus A B C
What I really need is ALL of the pictured commits.
I can do this manually by:
git log --pretty=format:%H A...1
git log --pretty=format:%H A...2
git log --pretty=format:%H B...1
git log --pretty=format:%H B...2
git log --pretty=format:%H C...1
git log --pretty=format:%H C...2

And then taking the set union of the commits, but this is horribly inefficient.
Is there a more efficient way of producing this list?

A: --ancestry-path is built to do exactly that:
git log --pretty=%H --ancestry-path A B C --not $(git merge-base --all --octopus A B C)
git merge-base --all --octopus A B C

(I wish there was an --inclusive option for log, having it include all explicitly-marked bottom commits, until then those have to be listed with a separate command.)

Q: How do you sum a 2d array after brodcasting using MPI and C++? this is my first time ever using MPI (I am also quite new to C++ as well) and I am trying to do this challenge for a course and I am very confused. I think I have to be overthinking it, but basically I have to broadcast the given array to each node, have each thread (4) sum the array, and then reduce the result. What I believe I have left to do is just the summation section, but I cannot figure out how to do this in parallel after the MPI broadcast, as most examples online use send and receive and are also only one-dimensional. I need to add this under the comment // Need two lines of code here to sum the array (rows and columns), what is the proper way to do this? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
P.S. A lot of the code was provided from the instructor, but I did alter a few things here and there so feel free to correct anything else you see wrong or poorly-coded.
#include <mpi.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main (int argc, char** argv)
{
    int procNum, procRank, m, n;
    int sumProc = 0, sumAll = 0;
    int** arr;
    MPI_Status status;

    MPI_Init(NULL, NULL);
    MPI_Comm_size(MPI_COMM_WORLD, &procNum);
    MPI_Comm_rank(MPI_COMM_WORLD, &procRank);

    if (procRank == 0) {
        &m = 4;
        &n = 5;
    }

    MPI_Bcast(&m, 1, MPI_INT, 0, MPI_COMM_WORLD);
    MPI_Bcast(&n, 1, MPI_INT, 0, MPI_COMM_WORLD);

    int sample_array[4][5] = {
    {50, 55, 62, 70, 85},
    {35, 42, 45, 47, 49},
    {32, 33, 36, 37, 38},
    {25, 30, 30, 35, 30}
    };

    arr = new int*[m];
    for (int i = 0; i < m; i++) {
        arr[i] = new int[n];
    }

    if (procRank == 0) {
        for (int i = 0; i < m; i++) {
            for (int j = 0; j < n; j++) {
                arr[i][j] = sample_array[i][j];
                printf("%i ", arr[i][j]);
            }
            printf("\n");
        }
    }
    for (int i = 0; i < m; i++) {
        MPI_Bcast(arr[i], m*n, MPI_INT, 0, MPI_COMM_WORLD);

    // Need two lines of code here to sum the array (rows and columns)

Dixon's Darling Dynamos: Welcome, Liesl Shurtliff!
Today we were so fortunate to welcome the gracious and talented Liesl Shurtliff - author of Jack - to our school. We focused on this book since the beginning of the year and had such a rich experience as we tackled vocabulary, sketched and wrote every day about Jack.
That time of reading, sketching and writing gave my students an opportunity to respond to literature and answer questions in such an authentic way. And I know their ability to write at such length now can be attributed to all that daily practice. Plus - their journals? They're works of art.
I hope my students remember this day forever, since Jack sparked a real love of reading in so many of my kids!
The theme of hunger in Jack was tied to a focus of sharing and giving. Remember our field trip packing food at the Children's Hunger Fund? Amazing! I am personally so lucky to have such generous students. My students also gave up their Halloween candy to donate to our troops and they saved their own money to donate to the Children's Hunger Fund. Here they are giving their money boxes to the CHF representative.
It was really illuminating to hear about Ms. Shurtliff's process as a writer and to hear her encouraging words for our students.


Did you know that nearly 300 children younger than five drown in swimming pools every year? For every fatal drowning incident, five more children are treated in emergency rooms. Your greatest assurance for pool safety is adopting and practicing as many safety measures as possible for your pool and the area around it. Even one can make a difference—and save a life.
1. Practice supervision. Never take your eyes off children in the water—even for a minute. Always designate a "pool watcher." Never permit children or teenagers to swim alone with no adult supervision. As an added layer of protection, consider computer operated pool alarms that are set off remotely in your home by ripples in the pool. If there are toddlers in the family, consider personal pool alarms that attach to the arm of a child and are set off inside the home by exposure to water.
2. Install barriers. In most states, swimming pools qualify as an "attractive nuisance," which refers to a safety hazard that children find appealing while lacking the experience to know the dangers it may pose. Owners of swimming pools are therefore expected to take reasonable steps to restrict pool access to children or otherwise be held liable for their injuries. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) strongly recommends that all residential pools have a four-foot barrier, such as a fence with self-closing and self-latching gates. Don't leave any lawn furniture or objects children can climb to get over the fence and into the pool area. If your house is the fourth side of a barrier, secure doors with alarms that prevent children from wandering into the pool area.
U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) hotline at 800-638-2772.
4. Practice diving safety. Post "No Diving" signs clearly on all above-ground pools, which are not designed for diving. Never dive off the side of an in-ground pool, especially at the shallow end. Dive only off of a diving board that has been installed by a professional.
5. Learn and practice life-saving skills. Teach your children how to swim. Learn CPR so you can help save a life in case of a water emergency. Practice your skills regularly and rehearse emergency drills to keep water safety top of mind. Keep a cell or cordless phone in easy reach in the pool area in case of emergencies. Seconds count in drowning cases.
If you have any questions or concerns about your whether you have sufficient homeowner insurance to protect you in the event of a serious pool accident, please call us at 631-727-4114 or email us. Ask us about personal umbrella coverage for added protection.

Q: How do I get a CameraDevice working in camera2? I've been following the camera2 documentation trying to implement a non-previewed camera with an ImageReader, but when I get to cameraDevice.createCaptureSession(outputs, mccsStateCallback, cameraHandler);, the cameraDevice object is null, even though I'm sure it should have been assigned in the CameraCaptureSession.StateCallback event listener (which isn't being triggered either because the CameraCaptureSession itself is null). Either I have this all completely wrong or I've missed something big. Here's my code:
private CameraDevice cameraDevice;
private String cameraId;
private Handler cameraHandler = new Handler();
private CameraCharacteristics cameraCharacteristics;
private ImageReader jpgReader;
Bitmap bitmap;
private Handler imgHandler = new Handler();
private CameraCaptureSession mSession;
private CameraManager cameraManager;

private CameraDevice.StateCallback mStateCallback = new CameraDevice.StateCallback() {
    @Override
    public void onOpened(@NonNull CameraDevice camera) {
        cameraDevice = camera;
    }

    @Override
    public void onDisconnected(@NonNull CameraDevice camera) {
        cameraDevice.close();
    }

    @Override
    public void onError(@NonNull CameraDevice camera, int error) {
        cameraDevice.close();
        cameraDevice = null;
    }
};

OnImageAvailableListener imageAvailableListener = new OnImageAvailableListener() {
    @Override
    public void onImageAvailable(ImageReader reader) {
        Image image = reader.acquireLatestImage();
        Image.Plane[] planes = image.getPlanes();
        Buffer buffer = planes[0].getBuffer().rewind();
        bitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(image.getWidth(), image.getHeight(), Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);
        bitmap.copyPixelsFromBuffer(buffer);
        mFaceOverlayView.setBitmap(bitmap);

    }
};

private CameraCaptureSession.StateCallback mccsStateCallback = new CameraCaptureSession.StateCallback() {
    @Override
    public void onConfigured(@NonNull CameraCaptureSession session) {
        try {
            if (PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED == ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(getBaseContext(), android.Manifest.permission.CAMERA)) {
                mSession = session;
                CaptureRequest.Builder request = cameraDevice.createCaptureRequest(CameraDevice.TEMPLATE_PREVIEW);
                request.addTarget(jpgReader.getSurface());
                mSession.setRepeatingRequest(request.build(), new CameraCaptureSession.CaptureCallback() {
                    @Override
                    public void onCaptureCompleted(@NonNull CameraCaptureSession session, @NonNull CaptureRequest request, @NonNull TotalCaptureResult result) {
                        super.onCaptureCompleted(session, request, result);
                    }
                }, null);
                cameraManager.openCamera(cameraId, mStateCallback, cameraHandler);
            }
        } catch (Exception ex) {
            ex.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

    @Override

    }
};

private void initialiseCamera() {
    cameraManager = (CameraManager) FilesPlayer.this.getSystemService(Context.CAMERA_SERVICE);
    try {
        cameraId = getFrontFacingCameraId(cameraManager);
        if (PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED == ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, android.Manifest.permission.CAMERA)) {

            cameraCharacteristics = cameraManager.getCameraCharacteristics(cameraId);

            StreamConfigurationMap streamConfigurationMap = cameraCharacteristics.get(CameraCharacteristics.SCALER_STREAM_CONFIGURATION_MAP);
            android.util.Size[] jpegSizes = streamConfigurationMap.getOutputSizes(ImageFormat.JPEG);

            Size biggestSize = new Size(0, 0);
            for (Size size : jpegSizes) {
                if (size.getHeight() >= biggestSize.getHeight() && size.getWidth() >= biggestSize.getWidth()) {
                    biggestSize = size;
                }
            }
            jpgReader = ImageReader.newInstance(biggestSize.getWidth(), biggestSize.getHeight(), ImageFormat.JPEG, 1);
            jpgReader.setOnImageAvailableListener(imageAvailableListener, imgHandler);
            List<Surface> outputs = Arrays.asList(jpgReader.getSurface());
            cameraDevice.createCaptureSession(outputs, mccsStateCallback, cameraHandler);

        }
        else{
            Log.d("NOOO","NOOOO");
        }

    } catch (Exception ex) {
        ex.printStackTrace();
    }
}

private String getFrontFacingCameraId(CameraManager cameraManager) {
    try {
        for (String id : cameraManager.getCameraIdList()) {
            CameraCharacteristics cameraCharacteristics = cameraManager.getCameraCharacteristics(id);
            Integer cameraOrientation = cameraCharacteristics.get(CameraCharacteristics.LENS_FACING);
            if (cameraOrientation != null && cameraOrientation == CameraMetadata.LENS_FACING_FRONT) {
                return id;
            }
        }

    } catch (CameraAccessException ex) {
        ex.printStackTrace();
    }
    return null;
}

EDIT: I've managed to make the CameraDevice assign itself by placing cameraManager.openCamera(cameraId,mStateCallback,cameraHandler); before cameraDevice.createCaptureSession(outputs, mccsStateCallback, cameraHandler); in initialiseCamera().
Now I'm having an issue where the camera output isn't being directed to the ImageReader's surface, and I'm getting an error in the console saying E/Surface: getSlotFromBufferLocked: unknown buffer: 0xa1ae7000.

I've had so much fun using the new stamps from the High Hopes Stamps "So Much Cuteness" release this month! The title of the release sure lives up to it's name! Meet the adorable "Waddles"! Such a cute Mother duck and her little ducklings! I can just see them "waddling" around the farm!
I'm also using the stamp called "Farm Background" on the top of my card to create a little scene for my ducks!
I took a 5.5" Square and cut off a portion of the front panel. This way I could add a fence and show the Farm Background as well.
On the bottom portion of my card I added paper from the Bella Blvd. Barn Yard collection and the "Rise & Shine" sentiment.


Because of her background with religious groups and an interest in what she calls "cult watching," Pam Dewey of Allegan, Mich., has decided to combine her personal experience and years of research to produce a new Web site.
"The focus of the Web site will not be doctrine per se," Mrs. Dewey told The Journal. "Disagreements about the exact nature of the Godhead or is the Sabbath required for Christians or other debatable ideas are not included."
In other words, Mrs. Dewey's site is not concerned with "incorrect doctrinal teachings.
"What I am concerned about is methods of control or influence of the individual followers via deception--deliberate or unwitting. A deceived person can deceive others with a clear conscience."
Mrs. Dewey worries about "emotional and psychological control" in religious groups, as well as "dictatorial policies, alleged supernatural signs and wonders and so on."
Her religious background goes back to her college days at Michigan State University, where she met her future husband, George Dewey.
Mrs. Dewey earned a bachelor's degree in education from MSU in 1968 and continued graduate work in education and social sciences at the same school until 1974.
She first came in contact with the ministry of Herbert W. Armstrong, founder of the Radio/Worldwide Church of God, in 1958 through an advertisement placed by the Radio Church of God in Capper's Farmer magazine. She was in junior-high school at the time. The ad offered the booklets 1975 in Prophesy and Will Russia Rule America? along with a subscription to The Plain Truth, the church's magazine aimed at the public.
The Deweys married in 1965 and have one daughter, Ramona, born in 1970. In 1968 George and Pam were baptized as members of the Worldwide Church of God, headquartered in Pasadena, Calif.
"I was baptized in January 1968, and, after coming up out of the water, was shocked and surprised to be invited to start attending services," she said. "George was allowed to accompany me even though he was not baptized until August that same year."
Up to that time time the Deweys did not realize the WCG was more than an evangelistic work or that it had local congregations. They lived in Lansing, Mich., at the time and began traveling each Sabbath to Flint, Mich., for services, about a 90-minute drive.
On her Web site "I will include information and documentation on such widely diverse fellows as Benny Hinn and Dan Gayman and such diverse groups as the JWs [Jehovah's Witnesses] and the Promise Keepers. My target audience is the general public.
"However, there will be major sections which will undoubtedly have particular appeal to Sabbatarian COG folks."
A major part of the site will include documentation and commentary on Sabbath-keeping and non-Sabbatarian movements, ministries, teachings and concepts that she believes are of "particular concern" because of "possible spiritual harm to the unwary" they can do.
She lumps her concerns into the category of "spiritual abuse."
"George and I became members of the WCG in 1968," she said. "We were marked and disfellowshipped from that organization for disloyalty to the organizational government in January 1979, the same week the receivership was imposed in Pasadena."
(California's attorney general placed the WCG under a legal restraint called receivership that lasted until the church brought a successful lawsuit to overturn it).
"We then affiliated with the CGI [Church of God International, founded by Mr. Armstrong's son, Garner Ted Armstrong, in 1978]. George was ordained as a CGI minister in 1980 and pastored the only CGI congregation in Michigan at the time."
In March 1988 Mr. Dewey resigned form the CGI ministry, and the Deweys left the CGI as a result of "disillusionment with the headquarters leadership," Mrs. Dewey said.
However, "we have retained the standard set of COG doctrinal distinctives. We keep Sabbath and holy days, don't observe Christmas and Easter, don't eat unclean meats, etc. But we have been unaffiliated with any denominational organization since that time."
In the interim Mrs. Dewey has written, edited and researched for Norman Edwards' ministry. Mr. Edwards, of Perry, Mich., publishes a newsletter, Servants' News, which began in 1996.
"Around the time we left CGI, I decided to investigate where God might be working among various Sabbatarian groups not connected historically to the Worldwide Church of God," said Mrs. Dewey. "I took the Bible Sabbath Association's directory of Sabbath-keeping groups, 1986 edition, and wrote to every group listed. I explained that I was a Sabbatarian and was looking for fellowship."
She asked each Sabbath-observing group a question: Why do you think I should affiliate with your group over any other specific Sabbatarian group?
"I received answers from most of the groups, and I was dismayed to find a large percentage of them to be extremely idiosyncratic, exclusivist, and/or downright strange."
So she embarked on a study of religious movements, both Sabbatarian and non-Sabbatarian, down through history.
Those that had claimed either to be the one true church or at least superiority to all other groups.
Those that taught adamantly that the end was to occur in their members' lifetimes, whether they considered the end to be Jesus' return or the destruction of earth with the righteous to rise to heaven.
Those that used what Mrs. Dewey considered to be unbiblical methods of acquiring and keeping members: deception, "spiritual abuse" and dictatorial control.
Frequently, she said, she found groups and teachers who had all three characteristics. The more she studied certain religious movements, the more she found fascinating how they fit in with the other religious movements around them.
So she broadened her research even more to include the whole panorama of influential religious movements outside the mainstream and old-line Protestant churches.
Mrs. Dewey also narrowed her research to emphasize movements, ministries, teachers and religious ideas of the past 200 years.
Because of her intimate involvement with the Sabbatarian Churches of God for more than 20 years, she is especially interested in ideas, teachers and movements that in any way intersect with or have affected the Churches of God. Her studies have become widely known enough that other researchers contact her to help them track down information about specific groups and leaders.
Some simply need help in deciphering what she calls "religious lingo." She can often identify an organization's background simply by reading a few paragraphs while noting the "idiosyncratic religious buzzwords they use."
"You cannot look up in the average dictionary terms like preterism, cessationist, Oneness Pentecostal, spiritual gifts, Satan's seed, pretribulation rapture, slain in the spirit or Hebrew roots. The world of religion develops its own buzzwords, and, for those who are unfamiliar with a specific teacher's background, these kinds of words can confuse rather than clarify."
Since compiling such information into a usable form to share with someone is so time-consuming, Mrs. Dewey decided it would make sense to pull her most useful information and documentation together and organize it in an easily searchable form on the Internet.
See it all at www.isitso.org/guide.
"I expect to have the Web site fully operational by the last week of September," she said, "before we leave for the Feast of Tabernacles. I plan to have major sections up, with just some under-construction signs, by the end of August."

Lawyer Jailed for Social Media Misuse
categories: Risk Management, Ethics
Here's some free risk management advice: don't set up fake social media accounts in the name of local politicians to influence upcoming elections.
It could land you behind bars.
Just ask New York City lawyer Richard Luthmann, who has been charged with falsifying business records, identity theft, stalking, criminal impersonation, filing a false police report and multiple election law violations, according to this article in the ABA Journal.
The charges against the Big Apple attorney came after he allegedly impersonated three candidates for city and state offices on bogus Twitter and Facebook accounts.
"Prosecutors said Luthmann used the pages to post fake policy positions for a candidate for state Assembly in the Republican primary and a Democrat on the city council," the ABA Journal reports. "He is also accused of falsifying emails regarding District Attorney Michael McMahon's 2015 campaign. The fake pages falsely said the Assembly candidate called for more housing projects and denigrated people with disabilities, and they also said the city councilwoman welcomed a welfare hotel for drug addicts and criminals."
The stalking offense stemmed from creating the fake media accounts and posting to them. The charge of making false statements came after the defendant filed a police report claiming his computers had been "trespassed."
This was not the attorney's first brush with controversy. He had already been jailed on unrelated criminal charges. And he previously made headlines when he asked a judge to let him settle a dispute with a duel.
Five Ethics Opinions on Social Media
Confidentiality Obligations for Lawyer Blogging and Other Public Commentary (ABA Formal Opinion 480). Lawyers who blog or engage in other public commentary may not reveal information relating to a representation, including information contained in a public record, unless authorized by a provision of the Model Rules.
Advising a Civil Litigation Client about Social Media (North Carolina 2014 FEO 5). A lawyer must advise a civil litigation client about the legal ramifications of the client's postings on social media as necessary to represent the client competently. The lawyer may advise the client to remove postings on social media if the removal is done in compliance with the rules and law on preservation and spoliation of evidence.
Accepting an Invitation from a Judge to Connect on LinkedIn (North Carolina 2014 FEO 8). A lawyer may accept an invitation from a judge to be a connection on a professional networking website, and may endorse a judge. However, a lawyer may not accept a legal skill or expertise endorsement or a recommendation from a judge.
Lawyer's Acceptance of Recommendations on Professional Networking Website (North Carolina 2012 FEO 8). A lawyer may ask a former client for a recommendation to be posted on the lawyer's profile on a professional networking website and may accept a recommendation if certain conditions are met.
Using Another Lawyer's Name as a Keyword for Internet Searches (North Carolina 2010 Formal Ethics Opinion 14). It is a violation of the Rules of Professional Conduct for a lawyer to select another lawyer's name as a keyword for use in an Internet search engine company's search-based advertising program.

You've researched the landlord tenant law, you've talked with past tenants, you've consulted with an attorney, you've collected your evidence from witnesses/friends/past tenants, you've reviewed your pictures, you have your receipts and you are confident you deserve to have your security deposit (or a certain portion of it) returned. If you are breaking your lease, you have also carefully advertised the apartment and have gathered applications from qualified new tenant prospects (and kept copies of each step of the process as evidence). Now you write your rebuttal letter to the landlord's claims. (This letter will be addressed to the landlord as a response to his claims, and will also be included in the presentation folder for the judge. The version you present to the judge will be slightly different, as explained below).
I wrote Marilyn's rebuttal letter in a very deliberate fashion (see PART III: Our winning presentation folder for complete text). One convention I used was "sub heads," which are the underlined headings found at the beginning of many of the paragraphs. I used sub heads in the "third person" so that if a judge were to read the rebuttal (and he probably will), the letter very quickly calls attention to the landlord's various lies.
Since the landlord filed five lawsuits against Marilyn, I organized the rebuttal based on each lawsuit, which you probably won't have to do, since it's unlikely your landlord will file more than one lawsuit against you (or you against him). For each lawsuit, I cited the civil codes that were violated, and then disputed the claims. Since a judge will likely read your rebuttal letter, it's important that you first cite the laws that were violated, then dispute the landlord's claims. This ensures that the judge considers the law first, and the claims dispute second. This is strategy!
When you look at our rebuttal letter (full size available in the eBook), you'll notice that I include "EXHIBIT" letters at the end of certain sentences to cross-reference our evidence. These were not included in the original letter to the landlord, but were added later for the judge's reference. Add these exhibit references shortly before you go to court. Our landlord mailed Marilyn both an itemized list of costs and a letter explaining his charges. The judge wants to know what the landlord is charging for, and will look at the itemized list because it has the dollar amounts. I pointed out numerous violations of California Civil Code 1950.5 in the landlord's itemized list, and I suggest you review the law in your state to see if your landlord's charges violate your state's laws as well (see our presentation folder). Again, stick with our strategy of arguing law first, and disputing the landlord's claims second.
· Indicate any pictures you have to substantiate your claims (but don't include them).
· That you will ask the judge to award you the amount of your deposit, plus any additional amount allowed by your state's law for his "bad faith" claims against you (see 1950.5 (l) in our presentation folder for California's "bad faith" claims clause).
Mail the letter via certified mail with a return receipt. If you don't get a receipt within a reasonable amount of time, you may want to use UPS to deliver the letter, since signatures are required for UPS packages.
While you are waiting for a response (which may never come, by the way), it's time to prepare your presentation folder.

Home Lifestyle Liam Neeson could have been James Bond
Liam Neeson could have been James Bond
Hollywood star Liam Neeson has revealed he once had the chance to play iconic British spy James Bond, but decided to pass on the role after advice from his wife.
Neeson was one of the candidates to take over the role of the suave British agent in the mid-1990s, when fellow Irishman Pierce Brosnan eventually landed the part.
He revealed: "I was being considered. I'm sure they were considering a bunch of other guys, too."
However, Neeson's girlfriend at the time, Natasha Richardson, urged him not to take on the role.
Neeson said: "It's understandable. She was like, 'You're going to ruin your career'."
He went on to explain that Richardson even threatened not to marry him if he went ahead and took the role of 007.
Neeson has played numerous iconic figures in his career such as Zeus, Michael Collins and Oskar Schindler.
He remains philosophical about his decision, saying: "It's no big deal. It's nice to be inquired after."

Newly formed I-5 Publishing, LLC, acquires Hobby Farms and Hobby Farm Home magazines.
I-5 Publishing LLC, a newly formed joint venture of publishing-industry executives David Fry and Mark Harris, announced last week that it had acquired the books, magazines and websites of BowTie Inc., the publisher of Hobby Farms, Hobby Farm Home, Urban Farm, Chickens magazines, as well as other leading special-interest brands.
The acquisition, effective Feb. 1, 2013, includes certain assets of BowTie Inc., including its consumer magazines like Horse Illustrated and Dog Fancy, trade magazines like Pet Product News International, websites including AnimalNetwork.com and HobbyFarms.com, and noteworthy books including Dog Heroes of September 11th and The Original Dog Bible.
I-5 Publishing is the latest in a series of professional partnerships between Fry and Harris and their respective companies. Harris is the co-founder and co-owner of National Publisher Services, the leading provider of publishing management services. Fry is the chairman of NPI Ventures, LLC, which owns 50 percent of NPS, and the chief technology officer of Fry Communications, one of the nation's largest privately held integrated-communications companies.
"We already offer our clients solutions in four key areas of publishing: retail sales development, audience development, publishing services and digital platforms. I-5 Publishing allows us to round those out with a fifth area of expertise—content—thus creating a truly comprehensive portfolio of services," Harris says.
I-5 is in discussion with leading brands to form marketing partnerships that will leverage its ability to package targeted content and expand its product and brand offerings.
Additionally, Harris announced that Daniel Ambrose, managing partner of Ambro.com and lifelong publishing executive and consultant, has joined the I-5 executive team as chief strategy officer of digital and advertising.
"I am thrilled to be joining the team at I-5. In today's increasingly complex media market, a company that can quickly package and distribute targeted content and innovate multifaceted marketing solutions is essential. I look forward to working with the combined talents and resources of David Fry, Mark Harris and I-5 to create a media company for tomorrow's content needs," Ambrose says.
Harris and Ambrose will be joined on the executive team by former BowTie executives Nicole Fabian, chief financial officer, June Kikuchi, chief content officer and Dolores Whitlo, vice president of consumer marketing.

Q: Global ConnectionString not being initialized I have my connection string stored in a myGlobals.cs page as below:
/* Connection String */
public static string conString
{
    get { return _conString; }
    set { _conString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["BaseConnectionString"].ToString(); }
}

I have my code setup in the 4 tier architecture. So I have a Business Object folder, Business Access Layer & Data Access Layer. If I move the connection string into the DAL structure it works fine. Other wise I get this error:
The ConnectionString property has not been initialized
Is the myGlobals.cs class not being included before all this or does it need to be changed around?
Here is my Data Access Layer:
public DataTable Load()
    {
        SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(MyGlobals.conString);
        SqlDataAdapter dAd = new SqlDataAdapter("administratorGetAll", conn);
        dAd.SelectCommand.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
        DataSet dSet = new DataSet();
        try
        {
            dAd.Fill(dSet, "AdministratorsTable");
            return dSet.Tables["AdministratorsTable"];
        }
        catch
        {
            throw;
        }
        finally
        {
            dSet.Dispose();
            dAd.Dispose();
            conn.Close();
            conn.Dispose();
        }
    }

A: The property 'setter' doesn't get called automatically;  its code is executed when you put the property on the left-hand side of an assignment - MyClass.MyProperty = "new value";
You want to be doing this:
public static string conString
{
    get { return ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["BaseConnectionString"]; }
}

They may not look like much, but these DMM Wallnuts got it where it counts. Each color-coded piece is specialized for its exact use. Smaller nuts are made of harder metal to prevent shearing, while larger nuts are cast from a softer alloy so they can bite into their placements. And the stiffer wire makes it easier to place overhead, yet still be flexible enough to reduce the chance of them lifting out. These Wallnuts should be the basis of any trad climber's rack.
As Ben said the anodization does come off but not enough that you can't quickly identify your size, and it's a great feeling having some nice scratched nuts that have seen some stuff, held some falls, and kept on going and these do that. You can slide the nut down the wire to put it on that rusty bolt missing a hangar you'd rather not have to rely on. They're just quality nuts. I love DMM.
These nuts are awesome. They are easy to identify and lightweight. They rack well and stand up fairly well to abuse. They slot great on both planes. The coating doesn't last with scratching, so some color on the wires would be nice as well. Overall they do everything I want them to.

Kathleen Pooler is an author and a retired Family Nurse Practitioner whose memoir, Ever Faithful to His Lead: My Journey Away From Emotional Abuse, published on July 28, 2014, and work-in-progress sequel, Hope Matters: A Memoir of Faith are about how the power of hope through her faith in God helped her to transform, heal and transcend life's obstacles and disappointments: domestic abuse, divorce, single parenting, loving and letting go of an alcoholic son, cancer and heart failure to live a life of joy and contentment. She believes that hope matters and that we are all strengthened and enlightened when we share our stories.
One of her stories "The Stone on the Shore" is published in the anthology: The Woman I've Become: 37 Women Share Their Journeys From Toxic Relationships to Self-Empowerment by Pat LaPointe, 2012.
Another story, "Choices and Chances," is published in the My Gutsy Story Anthology by Sonia Marsh, September, 2013.
WOW: Kathleen, we've known each other quite a while now. You've been very influential in helping other others, so the question on my mind is: Who has been most influential in YOUR writing career?
On the maternal side, at the age of ten I wrote plays which I acted out in front of my Italian grandma, Nan and her lady friends. I can see them gathered in the living room sipping coffee and chattering on in Italian. I never understood a word but I can still feel their fascination and loving attention as they hushed each other when I stood in the archway to announce the beginning of the play.
WOW: It's awesome to hear how supportive your family is; what a wonderful gift they gave to you! Speaking of gifts, if your current self could hop in a time machine and give the gift of advice to a younger version of you, what would that be?
All we can do is move forward and I'm glad to see you moved forward with publishing your memoir. What pushed you in that direction?
Kathleen: Writing has been a passion of mine since I received my first diary with a lock and key at the age of eight. I have journaled my entire life, especially in times of turmoil. I decided to answer the call to write with the intention of eventually publishing a book, back in 1999 when I took my first online writing course, "Getting Started in Writing" through Writer's Digest. I loved testing my ability to write effectively and getting feedback. I wrote the story closest to my heart, my young son's descent into substance abuse. It helped me to clarify the wide range of feelings I was experiencing. When I shared my writing with my son, I was pleased how open he was to hearing my perceptions and the impact his drinking had on me. From 1999 through 2013, I kept writing, taking craft courses, built my author platform and finally completed the first draft of the memoir that was published in 2014. It was not the story I started writing but it was the story that revealed itself to me—the story that begged to be told. Since 2013, I have been rewriting and polishing the story until its publication date on July 28, 2014.
Now to answer your question. What prompted me to publish and motivated me to the finish line was a deep connection to my purpose for writing my story. Once I connected to this purpose—of sharing hope that no matter how bad things may seem, it is possible to climb out of the abyss of poor decisions and lead a joyful life—there was no stopping me. I had to get my story out there for others.
WOW: Some memoir writers are done once their memoir is published and other go on to write more. I love your writing (even how you answered that last question—beautiful!) and hope there are more books in your future, but what is YOUR plan?
Kathleen: After completing the initial phase of my marketing campaign for Ever Faithful to His Lead, I plan to continue writing a sequel about my simultaneous battle of a diagnosis of cancer and my son's descent into alcoholism. The working title is Hope Matters: A Memoir of Faith. It will be about my faith helped me overcome these battles.
I also have nursing stories I'd love to package into a book. The working title is Sacred Ground: Stories from My Nursing Career.
WOW: Sounds like you've already got a good start and I hope to get my hands on a copy of Sacred Ground as well! You certainly have plenty of experiences to draw from.
Is there something about you that might surprise readers? Something very few people know about Kathleen Pooler?
Kathleen: I love a good party and socializing with friends but I also love my alone time and the days I can be a homebody. I love to sing (even though I can't!) and dance. I love music of any kind (except hard rock) and country and oldies music top the list.
WOW: I'd ask how you feel about fan clubs for musicians but we had better stick to books. What are your thoughts on writers clubs and book clubs?
Kathleen: Writers groups are essential but they have to be a good fit. I feel it is important to feel safe sharing your work and getting constructive feedback. The same with book clubs. It should be a place to discuss and reflect upon books but it also should be a group you feel comfortable expressing your views in without judgment.
WOW: I agree, there's enough judgment out there and don't we all worry about negative comments and rejection? I like feedback from my writers group because it's always well intended.
I'm sure publishing your memoir can be scary. How have you dealt with rejection and/or negative reviews?
Kathleen: I think they are inevitable and we need develop a tough skin and be open to ways we can improve. So much depends upon how the rejection/negative review is delivered. If it is a personal attack with no substantive constructive feedback, it needs to be ignored. If it spells out area of weakness and ways of improvement, it can be a gift. It's not easy to depersonalize it but I think it's the only way to survive. Some people say to not even read reviews—positive or negative. Going through a professional editing and beta reading process helped me develop a tougher skin. I also learned what to accept and what to disregard. It's important to be open to ways to improve while also being true to your story.
WOW: That sounds like good advice for any author. When did you call yourself an author?
Kathleen: I called myself a writer until I published my memoir. Now I call myself an author. Happily.
WOW: That sounds like a victory and a happy dance to me!
Other than the new title, how do you celebrate your writing victories?
Kathleen: I had a great Book Launch Party on 8/23 at my local Indie Bookstore! Right now, I'm in full marketing mode but I find myself taking more breaks and doing some of the other things I want to do—like spend time with my husband, my grandkids, my friends.
WOW: Do you have a favorite author? Maybe not someone you spend time with, but anyone in particular?
Kathleen: That's a tough question because I love to read a variety of authors and genres but two of my favorite authors are James Michener for his rich detail and Ernest Hemingway for his sparcity of prose that says so much.
WOW: This is an odd question but I always find the answers so intriguing. If you don't mind my asking: If your book was turned into a Hollywood movie, what song would you want playing as the credits role?
WOW: That was one of the first songs I learned to play on the piano—I might even volunteer to play it for you if you ever come to Wisconsin! Thank you so much for this great interview and what is sure to be an even greater tour Kathleen! This has been an incredible pleasure!

This was an inspiring interview--so much so that I went right over to Amazon and bought the Kindle copy! :) I admire you for your bravery and for helping other women find their way.
Congratulations on publishing your memoir, Kathleen. It must have taken a great deal of bravery to write your story and share it with others. I also remember those wonderful secret diaries--mine had a little gold lock to keep out intruders. :) Good luck with your blog tour; I will be following along!
Crystal, thank you very much for this interview! You asked me some very interesting and challenging questions. I'm excited to begin the tour.
Margo, it's nice to "meet " you. I appreciate your support very much. My greatest hope is that my story will help others in a hopeful and healing way. Thank you for stopping by to comment.
HI Elizabeth, I'm loving meeting new people! Thank you so much for your kind words. I had to put this story away many times because it was too painful to write. But , as I learned through the process, the only way to the other side of the pain is through. I am so happy I did finish it because writing this memoir helped me to heal. I am hopeful it will help others as well. And yes, those secret diaries served am important purpose, eventually becoming the seeds for the memoir. I'm thrilled to have you along on the tour!
As a psychotherapist and addictions counselor (not to mention author who is scheduled to be interviewed by WOW, as well), what is most compelling about Kathleen's story is that she came from a seemingly happy loving/functioning family. That she then went on to make poor choices when it came to men, is not as common as it is for those who have witnessed abuse or grown up without loving care. Gaining the courage through her faith and perhaps due to her responsibility toward her children to break a pattern that was doomed to destroy her is admirable and inspirational. Her memoir is, no doubt, one that will help many others and is further proof to anyone who doubts it that life is about choices, and that it's never too late to make good choices rather han bad ones. BRAVO!
Dear Linda, your insights are the exact reason I wrote this memoir; to explore how someone from a loving , stable family could have/would have made so many self-defeating choices. it was a question that haunted me for 25 years. In finding the answer to this question through writing this memoir, I do hope to encourage others that it's" never too late to make good choices" Thank you for your kind and thoguht-provoking comments.
I admire anyone who can focus enough to write a book. I have always wanted to write but cannot follow through do to many distractions.
I enjoyed the interview, and look forward to reading your book!
Hi Tom, you are so right about the distractions. They are always there in many forms. For me, once I became connected to my purpose for writing my story--sharing hope that freedom from abuse is possible--I was able to power through these distractions. I hope you'll give yourself a chance to fulfill your wish to write a book. Best wishes and thanks for commenting.
Thank you, Deborah! I look forward to your thoughts after reading my memoir. I appreciate you stopping by to comment.

Recap from Glee S02E12 – Silly Love Songs
Recap by Mike Saros
Open with Puck upset at himself for having a crush on Lauren. It turns out she wasn't into the fooling around when they did a "Seven Minutes in Heaven."
Finn might still have feelings for Quinn and is thinking of ways to get her away from Sam. If he can get her to kiss him again he believe he might have a shot.
Blaine tells Kurt there is a person he's known a short while for whom he's starting to have feelings. He wonders if signing a valentine is okay. Kurt clearly hopes Blaine is talking about him.
This week's theme is love and Will wants the kids to pick a partner and sing to them what they believe to be the world's greatest love song. Finn says he's going to host a $1 kissing booth to raise money for Glee and this leads to an argument where the entire club rips Santana for being mean.
Puck asks Lauren if she'll go to Breadsticks with him on Valentine's Day but she tells him he'll have to try harder to woo him.
During an emergency meeting of the Warblers council Blaine tells the guys he's in love. He asks the group to help him serenade this person "off-campus." This is a huge request because the group hasn't performed in public in more than 80 years. Kurt tell the rest of the guys he thinks there is some benefit to playing in public.
Rachel and Mercedes point out to Kurt that Blaine probably isn't talking about him. Rachel is planning to dominate Finn's kissing booth. The girls want Kurt to scope out the guy Blaine actually likes. Mercedes thinks they both should focus on singing more than boys.
The male members of New Directions (led by Puck) perform Queen's "Fat Bottom Girls." Afterwards, Puck said the song was dedicated to her. She said it made her feel like crap.
Quinn tells Finn she won't kiss him again.
Sam seems very jealous of Finn. He even questions why Quinn didn't pay for one kiss at Finn's booth. She says she will kiss Finn later.
Finn gives Rachel a kiss on the cheek at the booth and she's furious. She admits to still being in love with him and he gives her a present he ordered before they broke up. It's a star necklace. He says she's a star and thinks it makes sense for them to be alone for a while.
After complimenting each other having two of the best girlfriends in school, Artie and Mike perform Michael Jackson's "P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)."
Lauren and Santana get into a fight. Santana doesn't fare well. Puck begs her to go out with him and she says she'll consider it if he makes a formal presentation.
Quinn gets a kiss from Finn (with Sam watching) at the booth. Fireworks go off for both of them, but she plays it off like no big deal. She then sneaks back and tells Finn to meet her the following day in the auditorium.
The guy Blaine likes is a Gap employee named Jeremiah. The Warblers help Blaine serenade him at work with Robin Thicke's "When I Get You Alone." Afterwards, Jeremiah tells Blaine he's been fired. He adds that nobody at his work knew he was gay and it would matter anyway since Blaine is "underage."
Santana figures out Quinn and Finn have something going on behind the scenes. She kisses a kid with mono to get his germs and then goes to Finn at the kissing booth.
Puck finally gets Lauren to agree to dinner with him for the night before Valentine's Day.
Quinn and Finn meet-up in the auditorium. Before they start to fool around she points out they're cheating. She thinks she loves Sam but isn't sure, which is why she won't dump him yet. They kiss.
Kurt tells Blaine he thought he was the guy Blaine wanted to ask out. Blaine says he's never been anyone's boyfriend. Neither has Kurt. Blaine says he's not good at romance and doesn't "want to screw this up." Kurt has a suggestion for something they can do on Valentine's Day.
Puck gets stood up by Lauren and fools around with a waitress.
Finn kissed every girl in school. He seems sick. Tina sings "My Funny Valentine" and begins to sob. She collapses on the floor, overcome with love. Both Finn and Quinn start to feel ill. Santana gleefully point out that it's probably mono, a disease that probably wouldn't be passed by a peck at a kissing booth.
The nurse tells Finn and Quinn they have mono. Quinn tells him nothing can happen between them until they figure things out with Sam and Rachel.
Puck tells Lauren he likes her for being a badass. She says she's not looking for someone to fool around with and wants to take it slow. She agrees to see him on Valentine's Day "as friends."
Rachel asks a loopy-sick Finn what is was like when he kissed Quinn. He pauses when Rachel asks if there were fireworks when he kissed her. She says this frees her up to focus on music and helps with her song selection.
At Breadsticks, Kurt sings with the Warblers for the restaurant's Lonely Heart's Dinner. They perform Billy Joel's "Silly Love Songs." We see Puck and Lauren getting along well at dinner.

15 Magnificent Stepwells in...
15 Magnificent Stepwells in India That Are Frozen in TIme
Stepwells in India or commonly known as baoli, as the name suggests are wells with steps descending into it. Stepwells are a common phenomenon in India, especially in Western India and can be traced back to the Indus Valley Civilization. They were constructed not only merely as an addition to the structure, but for their practical value. These baolis were dug up by going deep into the Earth and acted as a constant source of water, all year long. Subsequently, steps were built, leading into the stepwell, to make the collection of water more comfortable and also served as a source of leisure and worship.
Even today, there are around 2000 surviving stepwells in India. There are many, which retain water, although they are no longer in use, but have become treasured pieces of architecture from various eras. Here is a list of 15 stepwells in India that are sure to pique your interest!
1. Chand Baori, Rajasthan
Situated in a Rajasthan's Abhaneri village, Chand Baori is NorthWestern Indian's most popular stepwell. Many tourists for its beautiful architecture visit the stepwell.

The stepwell consists of 3500 stairs that go as deep as 20 metres into the well, making it the deepest stepwell in the country. It is believed that Chand Baori is dedicated to the Goddess of Joy and Happiness and was built to serve as a source of water. The members of the royal family also used it as a place to socialise as the stepwell remained a lot cooler compared to its surroundings. The 13 floors of the stepwell Chand Baori are in perfect symmetry and look exquisite from a distance.
2. Agrasen Ki Baoli, New Delhi
One of the most popular stepwells in India, Agrasen ki Baoli is visited by many people, both young and old. Situated close to Connaught Place, the baoli consists of three levels and 108 steps descending into the well.

The baori is an essential traditional water structure and measures have been taken by the government to restore it.
11. Adalaj ni Vav, Gandhinagar
Adalaj Stepwell is a magnificent structure built brilliantly to curb water crisis in and around Adalaj Village. The stepwell is located at a distance of 3 to 4 kilometres to the south-west of Gandhinagar, the capital city of Gujarat. The Adalaj Stepwell was built in 1498 and is one of the many step wells constructed in India to provide access to groundwater. The entire architecture is an excellent illustration of the intelligence of the engineers and architects India had even at that time. Walk-in, and you will witness a sudden yet soothing drop in temperature. Breathe in the tranquillity, absorb the beauty of the intricate carvings, make a silent wish and rest for a while before you proceed with your plan for the day.
12. Dada Harir Stepwell, Ahmedabad
Built by a woman of Sultan Begara's harem in 1499AD, these stepwells in India were made as a retreat during hot summers. Waiting to be filled with rainwater, no matter what the weather is, it is always cooler within the Step-wells.
This ancient structure depicts the architecture of the bygone era. At ground level, much might not be visible. But as one rises just a little (with the help of stairs), there is suddenly a deep cascade of steps plunging down several stories, intricate carvings reflecting in the sunlight.
13. Shahi Baoli, Lucknow
Built in the Indo-Islamic architectural designs, Shahi Baoli was created by the Mughals as the water reservoir. The baoli has five storeys and served cold water to the people in ancient times. Currently, it is only used as a tourist spot.
14. Raniji Ki Baoli, Rajasthan
Raniji Ki Baoli is an ancient stepwell in India near Kota in Bundi. It was built by the Rajputs and boasted of striking architecture. The baoli has a narrow gateway lined with four sturdy pillars and slender arched on the high roof. A flight of stairs descend into a part well, part temple and part palace with limited water reserves. Raniji Ki Baoli is an important heritage monument of the city.
15. Panna Meena Ka Kund, Jaipur
Among the several architectural marvels that the Pink City can boast of, the ancient stepwell called Panna Meena ka Kund is quite an important yet unexplored one. Established in the 16th century, Panna Meena ka Kund in Jaipur was built to supply locals with water for drinking and other daily needs, especially during the dry summers, as well as crop irrigation. The kund also served as a community centre for the societies living around the Kund. People would gather and sit on the multiple levels of stairwell, and exchange conversation.
Each of the stepwells in India that we have mentioned above is either a significant structure of its era or is revered for its magnificent architecture. Stepwells were complex structures which served the basic needs of the locals, and many of these were built during the medieval era. A lot of the stepwells stand neglected and have run dry, but they are essential structures which reveal a lot about their respective ages.

The terrestrial globe with brass hour circles at both poles, canted at an angle in brass calibrated half meridian, raised on a bronzed metal figural base of atlas kneeling, ending in round classical plinth.
Leningrad indicated. Oceans green toned. Geographical entities shaded and outlined in various colors, including purple, green, orange, yellow, and with British Commonwealth in red. Anglo Egyptian Sudan in multi-color diagonal stripes. Major railroads indicated by red line.
The cartography, style, and cartouche of Geographia globe gores are very similar to those produced by George Philip, Ltd., of London, one of the two major globe makers in Great Britain in the early 20th Century. Accordingly, it may be reasonably presumed that Philip produced these globe gores for Geographia, Ltd. This atlas-form stand was most likely provided by Geographia, and another model of atlas-form stand was also produced by Geographia in the same period. For more information on George Philip, please see our Guide to Globe Makers.
Condition: Globe and stand generally very good, with the usual light wear, toning, soiling, scuffs.
