Q: FormatDateTime - Integer arithmetic overflow C++ I'm using a C++ builder function which allows me to format a time received from my microcontroller as below:
void DisplayTime(unsigned long SecondsSince1900, unsigned short FractionOfSecond, AnsiString* DecodedString)
{
    TDateTime WindowsDate;
    double FloatingDate;
    FloatingDate = SecondsSince1900 + (FractionOfSecond / 65536.0);

    if ( (SecondsSince1900 & 0x80000000) == 0 )
    {// Seconds since wraps around during year 2036.
     // When the top bit is clear we assume that the date is after 2036         rather than before 1968.
        FloatingDate += 0x100000000;//this line is the cause of the warning
    }

    FloatingDate /= SECONDS_IN_DAY ;
    WindowsDate = FloatingDate ;
    *DecodedString = FormatDateTime(" yyyy/mm/dd hh:mm:ss ", WindowsDate);
}

Using this code I get the following warning:

Integer arithmetic overflow

Is there any solution to avoid this issue?

A: Although some compilers will interpret the constant 0x100000000 as a 64-bit integer, it seems that yours does not - which makes it too big to fit into a 32-bit integer (hence the warning).
A simple way around this is to replace the integer constant with a double value:
FloatingDate += 4294967296.0;

Alternatively (if your compiler supports it) you can add the uLL suffix to the integer constant:
FloatingDate += 0x100000000uLL;

But this may cause a different warning (conversion from unsigned long long to double can cause loss of precision).

Microbial Testing and Compressed Air Standard ISO 8573-7
By Maria Sandoval, Microbiologist, Trace Analytics
This article will focus on ISO8573-7 normative test methods and analysis for viable microbiological contaminants and how it can be fundamentally utilized in compressed air microbial monitoring plans. The quality of the compressed air must be monitored periodically to fulfill national and international standards. ISO 8573 is an available standard addressing compressed air quality. It consists of nine parts that address purity classes, specifications, and procedures. ISO 8573-7:2003, can be utilized across all industries' compressed air microbial monitoring plans. It contains both informative and normative procedures but lacks any tested compressed air microbial specifications regarding colony enumeration limits for microbial plate counts.
ISO 50001: How Manufacturers Can Achieve a Low-cost and Low-carbon Future
For an organization to prove that it meets the standard it has to undergo a management system audit, either internal or external. The question, therefore, is how can those utilizing compressed air effectively evaluate their assets' performance as part of an ISO 50001 energy management system and, in doing so, grow their bottom line and minimize their negative environmental footprint.
How to Implement Aseptic Technique in Microbiological Compressed Air Testing
In modern and industrial work settings, people spend more than 90% of their time in enclosed spaces, such as warehouses, office buildings and factories. In most indoor environments, the air contains a variety of chemical and microbial particles, commonly defined as indoor pollutants, which can severely affect human health and product quality (1). Industries like food and beverage, medical devices and pharmaceutical manufacturers rely on their scheduled compliance testing to confirm the presence or absence of issues in workflow pipelines that are detrimental to the daily output and safety of the product.
Compressed Air and Energy Management Systems Based on ISO 50001: What You Need to Know
An Energy Management System (EnMS) according to ISO 50001:2018 provides companies with a strategic tool to help manage the performance of energy-consuming equipment, including compressed air systems. Improved performance of a compressed air system, in turn, can go a long way toward lowering energy costs and improving system uptime, both of which provide the ability to reduce the company's carbon footprint. Here's a look at the standard and important considerations involved in the implementation of an EnMS for a compressed air system according to ISO 50001.
Innovative Adsorption Medium for Pressure Swing Desiccant Air Dryers
Compressed air contains contaminants such as dirt, water and oil which must be removed before use. ISO8573.1 specifies air quality classes for these contaminants. Humidity is expressed in terms of Pressure Dew Point (PDP). PDP is the temperature at which air is fully saturated with moisture, when the air temperature falls below this point further condensation will occur.

Key Considerations for Installing Centrifugal Air Compressors
Compressed Air Best Practices® Magazine and the Compressed Air and Gas Institute have been cooperating on educating readers on the design, features, and benefits of centrifugal compressor systems. As part of this series, Compressed Air Best Practices® (CABP) Magazine recently caught up with Rick Stasyshan, Compressed Air and Gas Institute's (CAGI) Technical Consultant, and Ian MacLeod of CAGI member company, Ingersoll Rand. During our discussion, we reviewed some of the things readers should consider when installing a centrifugal compressor system.
ISO 22000 Certification for the Food & Beverage Industry
ISO 22000 is a food and beverage (F&B) specific derivative of ISO 9001, a family of standards from the International Organization for Standardization that details the requirements of a quality management system. It is a quality certification that can be applied to any organization in the food chain — from packaging machine manufacturers to the actual food processing facilities.
Using ISO 8573-1 to Test Compressed Air: Clearing the Confusion
Compressed air is used in more than 70 percent of all manufacturing activities, ranging from highly critical applications that may impact product quality to general "shop" uses. When compressed air is used in the production of pharmaceuticals, food, beverages, medical devices, and other products, there seems to be confusion on what testing needs to be performed.
How Inlet Conditions Impact Centrifugal Air Compressor Performance
Compressed Air Best Practices® (CABP) Magazine recently spoke with Rick Stasyshan, Compressed Air and Gas Institute's (CAGI) Technical Consultant, and Mr. Neil Breedlove of CAGI's Centrifugal Compressor Section and member company, Atlas Copco Compressors, about centrifugal air compressors. Specifically, the discussion outlined how various inlet conditions can impact the performance of centrifugal air compressors.

Q: Style QToolButton set with QWidgetAction I'm trying to style a QWidgetAction in a QToolBar and following is the minimal reproducible code:
li = [1, 2, 3, 4]

class extmenu(QWidget):
    def __init__(self):
        super(extmenu, self).__init__()

    def load(self):
        lay = QHBoxLayout()
        for i in li:
            b = QPushButton()
            b.setText(str(i))
            lay.addWidget(b)
        self.setLayout(lay)

class rtem(QWidget):
    def __init__(self):
        super(rtem, self).__init__()

        self.tb = QToolBar()

        self.extmen = extmenu()
        self.extmen.load()

        self.men = QMenu()

        self.wid = QWidgetAction(self.tb)
        self.wid.setText("wid")
        self.wid.setObjectName("wid")

        self.wid.setDefaultWidget(self.extmen)
        self.men.addAction(self.wid)
        self.wid.setMenu(self.men)

        self.act = QAction("act")
        self.act.setObjectName("act")

        self.tb.addAction(self.act)
        self.tb.addAction(self.wid)

        self.tb.setStyleSheet("QToolButton#wid{background: red;}")

        self.lay = QVBoxLayout()
        self.lay.addWidget(self.tb)
        self.setLayout(self.lay)

The setStyleSheet does not have any effect on neither "act" or "wid".
        self.tb.setStyleSheet("QToolButton{background: red;}")
        self.tb.setStyleSheet("QToolButton:checked{background: green;}")

The code above works.
Styling self.but obviously does not work.
How do I style the QWidgetAction? And why does stylesheet has no effect on individual QToolButtons?
Doing something like:
        self.tb.children()[5].setStyleSheet("background: red;")

works but not sure this is the way to do it.


Cassini is scheduled to crash land into Saturn later in 2017. The reason stated was that they did not want to risk contaminating any of Saturn's moons.
However, during the Cassini mission, we landed the Huygens probe on Titan. If we're concerned about bacteria onboard Cassini surviving, why are we not concerned that the bacteria may have been on the Huygens probe instead?
First off, what's done is done. Don't make it worse.
Second the main concern is Enceladus, not Titan. Enceladus is an ocean world whose ocean regularly and significantly interacts with its surface. Titan may be an ocean world, but it is unlikely that that ocean interacts significantly with the surface.
"The most stringent requirements are those for Mars, Jupiter's moons Europa, Ganymede and Callisto, and the Saturn's moon of Titan and Enceladus due to the great potential for studying the origin, evolution, and distribution of life on these bodies. "
Enceladus and some of the other icy moons have the possibility of supporting Earth based life forms. Titan, on the other hand is fairly toxic.
Also, they are being paranoid.
However, if we can learn something new before Cassini looses contact, it'll have some value.

Q: Overriding a method that is not in super I've subclassed UITextField in order to show a tool bar with a button when the keyboard is shown.
UITextField SubClass:
- (void)methodName
{
    //Do stuff
}

When the user presses the button and methodName is triggered inside the UITextField.
I want the same method to be triggered also inside the current ViewController for some more specific code additions relevant only to the current ViewController
I thought about getting a referral to the topviewcontroller and trigger my method from inside methodName in the UITextField subClass but it doesn't feel right.
What's the right way to do the above?

A: I would look into the delegation pattern. It may make sense to have your view controller be the delegate of your text field so it is informed when your text field is pressed.
Something like:
textField.delegate = viewController;

And have your view controller class implement the appropriate UITextFieldDelegate methods so that it is notified when editing begins/ends.

Warning to rural bus operators as country roads revealed as 'deadliest' in UK
New figures from the Department of Transport which reveal country roads as the UK's deadliest for motorists can serve as a warning for bus drivers and operators to take extra care when servicing country routes.
Breaking too late on bends and swerving to void something on the road were the two most common risky practices admitted to by motorists, according to the department.
It demonstrates the risks faced by country bus operators and drivers every day and the need to exercise vigilance.
"Every injury and death on our roads is a tragedy and that is why the new THINK! country roads campaign is so important, " said Roads Safety Minister Andrew Jones.
"We want the public to anticipate potential hazards on the road when driving in the countryside, to watch their speed and take care when approaching a bend."
Sadly, 1,040 people were killed on country roads in 2014. A further 9,051 people were injured.
At least 348 of the fatalities occurred on a bend.
THINK! – the Department of Transport's road safety arm – has launched a new campaign to reduce fatalities and serious injuries.
One of the case studies highlighted in the campaign is an accident involving a man named 'Rob' who had an horrific crash involving a coach in 2014, west of Taunton.
"It was 5.45pm on a summer's day, the weather was good," it reads.
"He was on a small A road, driving at about 40mph on a road approaching a bend in the road. He has no memory of what happened after that but had hit a coach head on.
"The coach, which was travelling at about 20mph, was driven by a local farmer taking workers home. The passengers in the coach sustained a few minor injuries.
"Rob may have gone over the line on to the other side of the road, he just doesn't know."
His car was destroyed and he had to be cut out before being air-lifted to Southmead hospital in Bristol where he spent four weeks recovering.
British Touring Car champion James Cole is backing the THINK! campaign.
He said: "I'm concerned that so many people take the racing line on bends.
"It's one thing to do that in a racetrack environment but quite another to do it with no knowledge of what is around the corner. Take more care, anticipate hazards, stay in control and give yourself more time to react by braking before the bend, not on it."


repetitive, predictable and dull. It was well narrated but very disappointing. In the end i couldnt care if any of the characters lived or died.
If what you want is someone to preach modern Christianity at you in poor prose then you will love this. If there arent enough preachers in the world and you are not actually able to read the bible for yourself and make up your own mind then this could be for you. I so didnt need to hear this badly thought out philosophy will thousands of holes and mistakes. A proper waste of my credit. I am sure there are people who will love this but to me it is garbage of a very high order.
Atheism's leading lights have long been intellectuals raised in the secular and academic worlds: Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, and the late Christopher Hitchens. By contrast, Jerry DeWitt was born and bred into the church and was in fact a Pentecostal preacher before arriving at atheism through an extraordinary dialogue with faith that spanned more than a quarter of a century. Hope After Faith is his account of that journey. DeWitt was a pastor in the town of DeRidder, Louisiana, and was a fixture of the community. In private, however, he'd begun to question his faith.
People who consider themselves to be bible believing Christians will find this really interesting and for those who do not it is an honest and compassionate view of US Christianity. The writing style is engaging and the journey the author describes fascinating. It would also work as a text for a study in faith and development of beliefs. A solid effort and most enjoyable.
Atheism For Dummies offers a brief history of atheist philosophy and its evolution, explores it as a historical and cultural movement, covers important historical writings on the subject, and discusses the nature of ethics and morality in the absence of religion. A simple, yet intelligent exploration of an often misunderstood philosophy.
Rather enjoyed it. Easy listening. Would probably have been better as a physical book. Written very much from a US perspective.
A great start and a fresh writing style that is inspiring.
However, it soon limped into the author explaining his world view and setting it out like a poorly though through philosophical stance. It isnt without merit but after a while I was rather tired of it and never got past 1/2 way.
Tonnes of ideas and relatively easy listening.
A great book and a wonderful though provoking scamper through some well known names in philosophy.
It is not Bertrand Russell's History of Modern Philosophy but the similarities are undeniable. The depth isnt there but it doesnt pretend to be a weighty text.
Fantastic and challenging representation of key thinkers in Atheism. I greatly enjoyed it and I the narrator brought clarity and seriousness to the subject matter.
However, if you are expecting a clear text which sets out 7 types of Atheism you will be disappointed. I found it to be rambling - although not in a bad sense and understandable given the breadth and depth of the issues the author is discussing. But it is not a text book outlining these main ideas of Atheism.
Be prepared to listen to the author viciously criticise many well known philosophers for flaws in their arguments, selfish behavior and hypocrisy as their lives do not match their stated views. There is plenty of criticism also of the standard church which many readers of the book will approve of and long sections of the book devoted to areas (although interesting) are not as relevant as others to the subject of atheism.
The book seems a little lost in that it tries to be so many things: 1. Thoughts about atheism 2. Brief history of certain philosophical views, 3. brief history of key atheist philosophers.
You can tell by my grammar in this review that I am no literary genius, however, I really feel the book could do with some more structure.
Having said all that, I did enjoy it hugely. I will listen to it again and see it I can discern the reason for it's currently layout.
Edit 1. I have listened to it again and I enjoyed it again (which is rare for me as I normally never listen to anything more than once). It does need more structure but it is absolutely packed with interesting concepts and I believe some original ideas.
Really enjoyable - King is a master of his craft and he takes you on a dance through the emotions with this book. Not perfect but certainly worth listening to.
Loved it all the way to the last hour or so. Great characters and narrative. Good character development. Interesting and imaginative. Almost 5 stars!


This thesis focuses on the development of methods for the activation of the hydroxyl group in non-derivatized alcohols in substitution reactions. The thesis is divided into two parts, describing three different catalytic systems.
The first part of the thesis (Chapter 2) describes nucleophilic allylation of amines with allylic alcohols, using a palladium catalyst to generate unsymmetrical diallylated amines. The corresponding amines were further transformed by a one-pot ring-closing metathesis and aromatization reaction to afford β-substituted pyrroles with linear and branched alkyl, benzyl, and aryl groups in overall moderate to good yields.
The second part (Chapters 3 and 4) describes the direct intramolecular stereospecific nucleophilic substitution of the hydroxyl group in enantioenriched alcohols by Lewis acid and Brønsted acid/base catalysis.
In Chapter 3, the direct intramolecular substitution of non-derivatized alcohols has been developed using Fe(OTf)3 as catalyst. The hydroxyl groups of aryl, allyl, and alkyl alcohols were substituted by the attack of O- and N-centered nucleophiles, to provide five- and six-membered heterocycles in up to excellent yields with high enantiospecificities. Experimental studies showed that the reaction follows first-order dependence with respect to the catalyst, the internal nucleophile, and the internal electrophile of the substrate. Competition and catalyst-substrate interaction experiments demonstrated that this transformation proceeds via an SN2-type reaction pathway.
In Chapter 4, a Brønsted acid/base catalyzed intramolecular substitution of non-derivatized alcohols was developed. The direct intramolecular and stereospecific substitution of different alcohols was successfully catalyzed by phosphinic acid (H3PO2). The hydroxyl groups of aryl, allyl, propargyl, and alkyl alcohols were substituted by O-, N-, and S-centered nucleophiles to generate five- and six-membered heterocycles in good to excellent yields with high enantiospecificities. Mechanistic studies (both experiments and density functional theory calculations) have been performed on the reaction forming five-membered heterocyclic compounds. Experimental studies showed that phosphinic acid does not promote SN1 reactivity. Rate-order determination indicated that the reaction follows first-order dependence with respect to the catalyst, the internal nucleophile, and the internal electrophile. DFT calculations corroborated with a reaction pathway in which the phosphinic acid has a dual activation mode and operates as a bifunctional Brønsted acid/Brønsted base to simultaneously activate both the nucleophile and nucleofuge, resulting in a unique bridging transition state in an SN2-type reaction mechanism.

We herein report a Fe(OTf)3-catalyzed stereospecific substitution of the hydroxyl (OH) group in secondary and tertiary alcohols by N-, and O-centered nucleophiles to generate synthetically precious enantioenriched pyrrolidines, tetrahydrofuran, 1,2,3,4-tetra-hydroquinolines, and chromanes. The substitution of the OH group in benzylic, allylic, and aliphatic alcohols proceed with high yields and high degree of enantiospecificity to give saturated five- and six-membered heterocyclic products and water as the only by-product. Mechanistic studies revealed that the intramolecular substitution reaction proceeds through an SN2 reaction with secondary alcohols and an SN1 reaction, comprising a tight ion pair, with tertiary alcohols giving products with inversion of configuration at the stereogenic carbon in both cases. The iron interacts with both nucleofile and nucloefuge, where the latter leads to a controlled carbon−oxygen (C–O) bond cleavage. The procedure opens up new atom efficient technique for catalytic stereospecific reactions that allow easily accessible stereogenic secondary and tertiary alcohols to be considered as substrates in substitution reactions.
The direct intramolecular stereospecific substitution of the hydroxyl group in stereogenic secondary alcohols was successfully accomplished by phosphinic acid catalysis. The hydroxyl group was displaced by O-, S-, and N-centered nucleophiles to provide enantioenriched five- and six-membered heterocycles in good to excellent yields and high enantiospecificity with water as the only by product. Mechanistic studies using both experiments and calculations have been performed. Rate order determination shows first-order dependences in catalyst, internal nucleophile, and electrophile concentrations, however, independence on external nucleophile and electrophile. Furthermore, phosphinic acid does not promote SN1 reactivity. Computational studies support a bifunctional role of the phosphinic acid in which activations of both nucleofuge and nucleophile occur in a bridging SN2-type transition state.

Trial Lawyers' Class-Action Suits Produce Union Bonanzas
Posted on February 13, 2006 October 14, 2017 by NLPC Staff
William Lerach is not the kind of guy who brings out ambivalence in a person. There are two distinct views of the flamboyant, high-powered 59-year-old San Diego securities lawyer. The first is that he's a champion of innocent investors everywhere, holding irresponsible and rapacious companies to account for acts of negligence or fraud in stock price declines. The second is that he's a shameless fee-hunting predator whose class-action lawsuits, under the guise of "justice," have undermined honest companies. Lerach knows he's got a national reputation as an S.O.B. During the 90s, with his then-firm, Milberg Weiss Bershad & Schulman, he filed well-publicized shareholder suits against legitimate companies, especially in the software industry, to recover damages triggered by sharp, unexpected price drops. He won often, raking in huge awards for his clients and huge fees for himself and his partners. Less well-known perhaps is his effectiveness in redistributing wealth on behalf of labor unions, many with an unenviable track record of corruption.
An article in the February 13 issue of Forbes magazine underscores the extent to which Lerach has delivered the goods for his clients, unions and the Democratic Party, the three categories heavily overlapping. Not that his clients are limited to unions. In 2005, as the lead partner in Lerach Coughlin Stoia Geller Rudman & Robbins LLP, he won a $7.2 billion settlement from Citigroup, JP Morgan Chase and CIBC for their roles in the Enron collapse, with the University of California acting as the main plaintiff. The case has generated fees of $680 million and counting. But it's his work with unions that is attracting extra attention these days. The consulting firm, Cornerstone Research, reports that in 2005 he was the lead lawyer in 37 out of 119 securities class-action settlements in this country. Of those 37 cases, 13 concerned union-affiliated funds.
Lerach has cultivated a close working relationship with the unions. "We are clearly pro-worker, progressive Democrats," he says. "Anybody who knows us knows that about us – they know our heart's in the right place." That sort of talk is music to the ears of labor chieftains and the political candidates they support. The reason for the shift in client base goes back a little over a decade ago. In 1995, Congress, responding to pressure by Silicon Valley executives to do something about Lerach's take-no-prisoners shareholder suits, passed the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act. The legislation, among other things, made class-action plaintiffs wait at least 60 days before bringing forth a suit and required the largest aggrieved shareholders to be the lead plaintiffs rather than allowing them to persuade small investors to serve as fronts. Lerach almost derailed it. A major Democratic donor, he had given a combined nearly $500,000 alone during 1993-95. Flashing that kind of cash got him access to President Bill Clinton. On December 15, 1995 Lerach attended a White House dinner hosted by Clinton, who four days later "unexpectedly" vetoed the bill. Days later, the GOP-majority Congress had the last laugh, overriding the veto.
The days of quickly "locating" a class-action plaintiff front man suddenly were numbered. Lerach and the Milberg Weiss firm (from whom Lerach had a bitter split in 2004) had to fish for new clients – like unions. Since 2000, Forbes reports, funds associated with the United Brotherhood of Carpenters won the lead or representative plaintiff spot in at least 18 securities cases, while the Laborers and the Plumbers & Pipefitters unions won the lead position 15 and 13 times, respectively. The cases have generated some $1.1 billion in settlements and about $240 million in legal fees for Lerach Coughlin. He knows to give back generously. In 2004 his firm contributed $1.3 million to an AFL-CIO building trades political fund. Given the record of corruption of these unions, a few would-be plaintiffs' attorneys have gotten riled. In a pending suit filed last year against Dana Corp. in federal court in Ohio, for example, lawyers for the City of Philadelphia challenged the Plumbers and Pipefitters National Pension Fund's bid to be lead plaintiff "because there is growing evidence that this organization has not consistently upheld its fiduciary duties."
It is in the nature of the plaintiffs' bar to seek maximum settlements for clients. And the pendulum without question has swung toward its side over the last few decades. Lerach, in this context, is merely playing by the rules. But even in a system gone awry, rules at some point have to correspond to a larger sense of right and wrong in order to remain viable. And evidence suggests Lerach has flouted them. Recently, he retained the services of noted San Francisco attorney John Keker in connection with an ongoing government probe. A federal grand jury last June indicted a plaintiff who participated in various securities cases, Seymour Lazar, for receiving kickbacks from an undisclosed law firm – Milberg Weiss, as it later turned out – to serve as a "front" during 1977-2004. Lazar has denied wrongdoing, while Lerach has declined to comment. If Lerach goes down on this one, a whole bunch of unions might end up hurting as well. (Forbes, 2/13).

The Vietnam War severely damaged the U.S. economy. Unwilling to raise taxes to pay for the war, President Johnson unleashed a cycle of inflation. The war also weakened U.S. military morale and undermined, for a time, the U.S. commitment to internationalism.
There were a couple of reasons for this. First, the Americans were an invading force, and the Vietnamese were fighting on their own soil. Second, the Americans were not willing to make an all-out commitment to win.

In August of 1964, after DRV torpedo boats attacked two U.S. destroyers in the Gulf of Tonkin, Johnson ordered the retaliatory bombing of military targets in North Vietnam. In March 1965, Johnson made the decision—with solid support from the American public—to send U.S. combat forces into battle in Vietnam.

The F-15 can trace its origins to the early Vietnam War, when the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Navy fought each other over future tactical aircraft.
The A-10 was designed for close support in low intensity conflicts during the Vietnam War, yet it came to be seen as a dedicated anti-armor platform by the early 1970s. Early before the A-10 came into production, however, the USAF held a fly-off between the Northrop YA-9 and the Fairchild Republic A-10.

It's About TV: A "Christmas Carol" the likes of which you haven't seen before!
A "Christmas Carol" the likes of which you haven't seen before!
WHAT DID EBENEZER SCROOGE SEE WHEN HE OPENED THAT WINDOW? READ ON AND FIND OUT.
INT. A ROOM - MORNING.
SCROOGE lies slumped on the floor, his hands locked around the bedpost. For a moment the reality of the situation escapes him; then, looking around, he realizes that he is in his own bedroom. There are the bedcurtains; they haven't been torn down after all! The walls, the pictures - they're all his!
I'm alive! I'm alive! The Spirits have done it all in one night!
I will live in the Past, the Present, and the Future! The Spirits of all three will live within me. I'm as light as a feather, I'm as happy as an angel, I'm as merry as a schoolboy.
I'm as giddy as a drunken man. A Merry Christmas to everybody! But what day is it? I don't know how long I've been among the Spirits. I don't know anything!
Hearing the chimes of the church bells outside, SCROOGE stops.
Is it? Could it still be Christmas Day?
He runs to the window and throws it open, and he is stopped in his tracks. His mouth falls open. If he was confused a moment ago, now he is utterly shocked.
EXT. STREET OUTSIDE SCROOGE'S WINDOW. SCROOGE'S P.O.V.
Everything that is familiar to SCROOGE is gone. Across from his home rises a large glass skyscraper. Below him are people walking on sidewalks lining the sides of paved streets, wearing close in a style he has never before seen. Moving across his view from right to left is a red double-decker bus. As his eyes dart back and forth he sees a jet aircraft streaking across the clear blue sky, the sunlight glinting off its silver skin.
His lips are moving, but nothing comes out. He shakes his head, his hands pressed against either side. Finally he speaks.
It...it...it must be the aftereffects of being with the Spirits. Well, yes, a shock to the system such as this is bound to cause confusion. Yes, that must be it.
SHOT OF STREET OUTSIDE WINDOW. WE SEE SOMEONE WALKING PAST SCROOGE'S HOME.
Here, let me ask that young woman out there.
Excue me, miss. Can you tell me what is today?
We can see that despite the long hair, the young woman is, in fact, a YOUNG MAN.
Your hair, I'm afraid, well I mistook you for a young lady.
Can you tell me what day today is?
What day it is? Are you barmy?
Today! What day is today?
Why, It's Christmas Day. Whatdy'a think?
Then it is still Christmas Day. I haven't missed it. But - (looking around at the inexplicable sights) what is all this?
What kind of nutter are you? This is London!
The YOUNG MAN again begins to walk away.
LONG VIEW YOUNG MAN, AS SEEN FROM OVER SCROOGE'S SHOULDER.
The year. What year is it?
What year is it? First he wants to know the day, now the year. You really musta got rat-arsed last night!
Never mind all that. What year is it.
CLOSE SHOT SCROOGE - HIS CONFUSED EXPRESSION GIVES WAY TO HORROR AS HE LISTENS TO THE VOICE ECHOING SUDDENLY IN THE ROOM.
Yes, Ebenezer, you asked to be returned to Christmas Day, and I have done that. But you didn't say which Christmas!
Presenting Mr. Ebenezer Scrooge, the world's most famous miser.
FAST PAN AROUND SCROOGE'S BEDROOM TO THE NARRATOR, IN SUIT AND TIE, HIS HANDS FOLDED IN FRONT OF HIM, A COPY OF "A CHRISTMAS CAROL" TUCKED UNDER HIS ARM.
For over a century, every Christmas, his journey through his own personal reclamation has played out, in book, on stage, and in film, for millions of people around the world. But whenever you enter the ghostly fog of time travel, you're apt to discover that the rules can change without warning. Tonight Mr. Ebenezer Scrooge is about to find out that, this time, the road from ruin to redemption will take him through the Twilight Zone.
I'm fairly sure that there hasn't been a classic story that was on the receiving end of more variations than A Christmas Carol.
The one I'd like to see again was done in 1985, on George Burns Comedy Week, a short-lived anthology series on CBS (anthologies were a quick fad of that season).
George Burns, 89 at the time, was the Serlingesque host for original half-hour comedy plays; Steve Martin was executive producer.
For their seasonal show, GBCW presented "Christmas Carol II: The Sequel", starring James Whitmore as Scrooge.
The premise: it's one year after the original story, and Scrooge has become such a complete pushover that Marley and the other ghosts have to come back to get him on a more moderate path.
I didn't see it at the time, and since GBCW didn't make it past midseason I missed out altogether; it didn't even get a VHS tape release.
Just about everybody has had a swat at Scrooge, going all the way back to Dickens's own time, so if you really want to go ahead with this, you ought to find a really original angle - this one's been done before, by many, many others.
Meantimes, I'm on the lookout for any DVD presence of George Burns Comedy Week, which deserved more of a shot than CBS gave it in 1985 (Martin Grams, take note).
That description actually sounds a lot like Blackadder's Christmas Carol, in which our titular hero is the nicest man in London (and consequently taken advantage of by everyone). It isn't until he's visited by the ghost (played by Robbie Coltrane) that he realizes what a sucker he's been, and how his crooked and devious ancestors really had the best of it. Of course, he winds up insulting Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, therefore losing a cash award he was to receive for being such a humanitarian. A real cure for some of those anodyne "Carol" knockoffs out there.
Merry Christmas to you as well, Mike, and a very Happy New Year!

Ukraine conflict: Russian forces in Donbas ad hoc and undermanned says MoD as European leaders visit Kyiv
The Ministry of Defence (MoD) has said Russia's forces in the Donbas are likely to be operating in increasingly ad hoc and severely undermanned groupings.
By Stephen Mcilkenny
16th Jun 2022, 9:53am
The intelligence report from the MoD comes as leaders of France, Germany and Italy visit Kyiv today, a day before the European Commission is due to make a recommendation on Ukraine's status as an EU candidate.
Ukraine began the process of applying to join the EU in February, four days after Russia's invasion with French President Emmanuel Macron stating previously Ukraine could join a "parallel European community" while it awaited a decision.
French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi arrived in Kyiv today to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and their continued support for the nation with Macron stating: "It's an important moment. It's a message of unity we're sending to the Ukrainians"
Last week Macron said Europe needed to reassure Ukraine over its EU ambitions stating: "We are at a point when we need to send clear political signals, us Europeans, towards Ukraine and its people when it is resisting heroically."
The conflict in Ukraine continues, with advances continuing throughout the Donbas.
The MoD said in an update that some Russian Battalion Tactical Groups, that would typically compromise 600-800 people, now only consist of about 30 soldiers, and that such small groups on foot make some advantages of Russia less relevant.
The intelligence report from the MoD also stated that destruction of all the main bridges into Severodonetsk has left Russian troops needing to find a way to get to the embattled eastern city "to turn tactical gain into operational advantage".

In a lengthy update they said: "All of the main bridges over the Siverskyy Donets River, which link the contested town of Sieverodonetsk and Ukrainian-held territory, have now highly likely been destroyed.
Ukraine conflict: Russian forces now control the majority of Sievierodonetsk say...
"Ukraine has probably managed to withdraw a large proportion of its combat troops, who were originally holding the town. The situation continues to be extremely difficult for the Ukrainian forces and civilians remaining east of the river.
"With the bridges highly likely destroyed, Russia will now likely need to either conduct a contested river crossing or advance on its currently stalled flanks to turn tactical gain into operational advantage."
It added: "Russia's combat force in the Donbas is highly likely operating in increasingly ad hoc and severely undermanned groupings.
"As claimed by the Ukrainian authorities, some Russian Battalion Tactical Groups (BTGs) - typically established at around 600 to 800 personnel - have been able to muster as few as 30 soldiers.
"For both sides fighting in contested towns, front line combat is likely increasingly devolving to small groups of troops typically operating on foot.
"Some of Russia's strengths, such as its advantage in numbers of tanks, become less relevant in this environment. This is likely contributing to its continued slow rate of advance."
Nato will also be discussing Ukraine in their meeting in Brussels today, with Sweden and Finland's applications to join the transatlantic military alliance also likely to be on the agenda.

Well, never fear. With these steps you'll be able to wipe that smug look off of its face with the punch of a few keys, before it can even blink another insult at you.
The first and most important step before you write a single word is to know what you're trying to write. Most likely, not knowing what you're writing exactly is what's paralyzing you. Answering the question "What am I writing?" sounds simple, and it is, but that doesn't mean it's always easy. Is it an article? Is it a poem? Is it a story? Is it a school assignment? Okay, that's the easy part.
Here's the harder part: If it's an article, what is its purpose—to encourage, to educate, to inspire? If it's a poem or story, what kind is it? Is it romantic? An adventure? Is it tragic? Do you have a specific message you're trying to get across? Do you want to spur people into action or just leave them with a warm feeling in their hearts?
In short, what is the point? What are you really trying to say?
Once you've wrestled with that and have come to a conclusion, the rest with follow. If you try to plunge into it without really knowing what you're writing, you'll end up with a lot of wasted words as you cut, rewrite, and edit repeatedly.
Need an example? I'm writing a blog post to help budding writers get over the feeling of paralysis that comes with a new project. I'll provide concrete steps to follow so that their blank page becomes a finished project with the least amount of hair pulled out as possible.
Just writing that out for this post made me shudder. Ugh. I really hated those things. Sometimes I found it easier to secretly write my paper first and then make the outline match afterward.
As you can see, I figured out what I was writing about and put that at the top. For blog posts, that's a good place to start for the title. An opening sentence to flesh out the title/the point of the post can help. Next, I wrote the subheads that will lead each point so that as I'm writing the post I don't lose my way. It makes writing blog posts quicker and less rambly (because I am definitely prone to rambling).
If I'm honest, this kind of outline isn't that different from my school-age outlines, but it's much more casual. I find the end result feels less wooden, too (blog post vs research paper), which I consider a boon.
Outlining like this works for stories, too. What do I want to write? How about a YA romance that encourages friendships before relationships? Great, now I know what I'm writing about. Let's flesh it out a bit: The story is about a two high schoolers, Nathan and Amy, who struggle to fit in at school but find a place of belonging in each other. Okay. What's my outline?
Amy is new. She is sweet but quiet; she doesn't stand out. She meets Nathan in class. He is very showy and a know-it-all, and doesn't mind disrupting class because he likes the attention. He finds her unflappability fascinating.
It is quickly evident to all, especially the teachers, that Amy and Nathan pair well. Nathan is smart but Amy can keep up, so he competes privately with her instead of annoying everyone else with his competitive spirit. She also accepts his quirks without judgement, which in turn tones him down. Their schedules are arranged so they share many of their classes, which allows Nathan's classes to run more smoothly.
They learn about each other. Nathan is from a big family full of big personalities, and he's had trouble finding his place. He deals with loneliness by trying to draw attention. Amy lives with her single mom, and has developed a "good girl" personality to anchor her drained mother at the expense of her own needs. She is the first to recognize in Nathan her own struggles with loneliness, and sharing this thought with Nathan seals their friendship.
Amy's mother is in a car crash and is hospitalized. It is the first time Nathan witnesses Amy crying. They struggle through their new roles of Amy depending on Nathan (instead of vice versa), but the process turns their friendship into a relationship. Both gain confidence in themselves and their own abilities, as well as find a place of belonging in each other.
Amy's mother comes home. Nathan's family warmly welcomes her and Amy, and the families develop a tight bond. Nathan and Amy make a private promise to love each other always as the story ends.
There! Now I have my whole story outlined, whipped up in a few minutes. All that's left is to flesh out the parts I've already decided and then smooth those together with new writing for the parts I don't have yet (maybe there's a subplot about how Nathan relates to his siblings, or Amy has a part time job).
It's much easier to write a novel this way since I know where I'm going. I don't have to make it up as I go along, only to end up throwing out large chunks that don't work with the new direction the story ends up taking me. Or worse, write myself into a corner and end up having to abandon the project. I was able to work out those awful kinks in the outline in a few minutes instead of wasting days or weeks fighting them in the body of my novel.
Side note: Your outline isn't written in stone. Remember, it's casual, not rigid like school outlines that are judged by a teacher. It's a tool to help you write your story without inhibition, but if something doesn't work or you come up with a better idea, it's okay to change the outline. Just fix the outline before you write any more in your project to save yourself some time.
This next step is fairly obvious. Take a look at that image of my blog post outline and compare it to the actual post you're reading. See how it's fleshed out with all these paragraphs full of details? I just went point by point and explained what I meant by each subhead. It's really that simple.
The handy thing about outlines is that they keep you from losing your way, so you can choose to write from the beginning to the end, or to skip around from point to point (or in the case of a story, scene to scene), as you see fit, until all the points (scenes) are addressed. Write in whatever order is easiest for you.
Here's where you make sure the piece flows together as a whole. This is particularly important if in the previous step you jumped around instead of writing consecutively from start to finish. Did you reference things your reader hasn't gotten to yet, because you wrote it out of order? Do you need a transition from point A to point C? Better write that point B now.
Read your piece from start to finish and note any clunky parts… and then fix those clunky parts. This is the time to look at the big picture, rather than worrying about little things like word choice, typos, or punctuation. It's the first stage of editing, but it doesn't feel that way because it still involves a lot of writing.
Edit, edit, edit. And then edit again.
Now you're elbows deep in editing. This is where you read through your piece looking for all of the little things. If you liken your writing to hair, you've already finger combed through it, so it's more or less presentable. But now it's time to go through with a brush and get all of the tangles out.
Once you've done that… you're still not done. This time, read your piece out loud to yourself. I promise you will find more things that need tinkering that way. When we're forced to read something aloud, we catch things our eyes gloss over when reading silently because they're used to seeing it.
Our minds have a habit of filling in any accidental blanks with what's supposed to be there, which reading in a new way can help you catch. Reading your work aloud will also help you notice weird rhythms, repetitive words, or accidental alliterations (ha!) that you might not have noticed while reading in your head.
Once you've done that… you're STILL not done! This time you let the piece rest. You close the document, you put the notebook in a drawer, you lock your writing in a chest and bury it on a deserted island—whatever you have to do to ignore it for a while and not take a peek.
How long you let it rest depends on its length. Something shorter like a blog post can rest a few hours to overnight. Something long like a novel probably should rest one to three months. After the rest, you'll come back to it with fresh eyes and be able to spot things you couldn't before, and you'll also be able to polish the best parts to make them even better.
I followed these steps with this post, too. Can you spot the differences between the current post and my original outline? I stuck pretty close to it, but there were some changes.
Now you can submit that assignment or give your story to someone else to read with confidence. Look at that! You were stuck on a blank page, not knowing how to start, and now you've got a finished piece. Not bad, eh?
How do you get started when you don't know where to begin? Maybe your method is more simple than mine, like putting on your lucky writing hat, or using a writing prompt (like "write a poem that uses the words 'silver,' 'toad,' and 'happy' "). After all, "figure out what you're writing" sounds simple, but often can be the hardest part! By the way, am I really the only one who loathes that blinky little line on my screen that I swear judges me every time I hesitate when typing? Please tell me I'm not alone.


This is just a fun little exercise. While everybody is welcome to comment on the thread, I'd ask that you to vote in the poll only if you're a 'likely voter' in November; i.e., you're eligible to vote in US presidential elections, and you intend to do so. Thanks!

I'd love to see the categories "Not Bush" and "Not Kerry" added. Because I think that most votes for Kerry will likely be "Not Bush" votes. But perhaps that's for a different poll.
Edited by Drew, 19 March 2004 - 12:35 PM.
By the way, I predict that Kerry will win here, given what I know of the population of the Isle. Although I'm told that the internet tends to skew conservative, I think this group is a bit . . . left of center.
Why is Kerry left? what definition of democrat is 'left'?
So, undecided. Luckily, I'm located in Massachusetts, so thanks to our system of electoral votes, my little crisis of conscience couldn't possibly matter anyway!
Point me to some posts . . .
Kerry. I don't want to (I think he's nearly as much of a scumbag as Bush, but oh well.), but its a simple matter of whatever it takes to get Bush out of the Presidency.
You got it! He's very very very articulate. One time he posted this long dissertation to me about liberals and principles and such (one I mostly agree with btw) and ended it with a quote by Jefferson. I was hooked (even if I disagree with him about most things). Another time he *really* went off and I got this hysterical picture of Jayne in the Message reading that letter from his Mom only it was Adam with his rant instead. Had me rotfl.
If the link is funky it's in the Off Topic section of the board, thread number 13901 and it's called "...back it up with facts..." NOT. Enjoy!
Edited by G1223, 23 March 2004 - 01:43 PM.
Kerry. I don't really want to, but he's not Bush. And I want more then anything to see Bush out.
Edited by Gvambat, 19 March 2004 - 01:14 PM.
I object to not being able to vote in this poll.
I had to look around for Adam's posts, but there they were. Poor guy is surrounded by lefties, but holding his own. I think you need to coax him over here.
And I think with a little more effort, he might just convert you.
I've never understood the left/right thing either. Right is supposed to be conservative (for limiting change), left is liberal (presumably for change) from a social point of view. Fiscally, conservative (right) is supposed to be for limited spending, and the liberal (left) view likes to spend lot's of money.
Fiscally, the liberal part (democrats) comes from the absorbtion of socialists who believe it's the government's job to take care of everybody and redistribute the wealth.
Socially, the conservative part (republicans) comes from the Christian Coalition types taking over the Republican party in the early 90s and trying to limit social reforms, which is ironic considering it's the party of Lincoln.
Political realities change on a decade by decade basis.
These days, democrat politicians are assumed to be left, republican right. Doesn't track in reality and that's a problem both parties have. The majority of people in both parties are in the middle and reality is more of a matter of degree than some of the characatures we see in political races.
Nothing about Kerry is really left, especially since all his positions have a duality to them. But the assumptions is he's left because he's a democrat and all the baggage that comes with that. I'd be happier if he was 'left' because then I'd at least have a clue about what he's actually going to do.
My opinion is most Americans are actually fiscally conservative and socially liberal, of course that depends on region and individual. But very few are truely and unequivocally aligned with what either party is trying to do. And of course both go to extremes to get attention and 'diferentiate' themselves, thus turning off the majority.

With the Side Top you can extend the storage area of the champion.
The extension can be mounted both left and right. In addition, the height of the Side Top can be adjusted individually.
The grid system makes this possible without any problems.
At the beginning of school time children only need a few notebooks, then lots of books and finally a laptop. Good if you can extend the desk later.With the Side Top, the worktop can be enlarged both to the left and to the right. In addition, the Side Top is height adjustable and can be adjusted individually at will.

Mods if you want to/can cut and paste the recent obviously political "discussions" from the Anything Goes, here might serve?

Mind you, it's clear May is completely willing to be Trumps poodle, as our PM she doesn't even have the backbone to support the mayor of our capital city. She really does no backbone whatsoever, everything that is abhorrent about a modern politician wrapped up in one person.
To be fair, we don't know what May has said to Trump re. his ridiculous tweets through rather less public diplomatic channels. Just because Trump's a child, isn't reason for her to stoop to his level.

You clearly don't have a clue how diplomacy works then and it's telling that you think that she should have come to the defence of a Labour politician but don't hold the same view in reverse, strange that. Whether his comments are right or wrong, some of the things Khan has said are indefensible.

Interesting that, among others, all the mayors of major cities in the US seem to think Khan is spot on. Oh, and the European ones. Some people disagree, but so far they are all called Trump plus one on this board!

Nothing wrong with supporting business though.
Diggers, don't lecture anyone on grammar when you use the phrase "The way he has spoke".
You need a comma after phrase.
But you don't don't jump up and down in public, despite that idiot Trump doing it. She only appears 'weak' because we somehow feel we have a right to know anything and everything that's said by anyone these days. We don't. In fact, with Trump, everything about him suggests that public embarrassment doesn't work (he has no shame) and just makes him act the idiot even more.
Let's not degenerate too far...
Nobody is saying she should jump up and down, but she could certainly make it clear that Khan deserves support. She would not even need to name Trump directly. The attacks are not a minor incident, this discourse has been running for far too long now and warrants her intervention. At what point would she feel the need to actually to say something? I think most Londoners would like her to show greater support to Khan.
They might, but that doesn't mean we have a right to expect her to do what we want. If it's felt the best approach is to use quieter diplomatic channels, so be it. How do you know she hasn't been in touch with Kahn and his team to express support in private?
I'm easy on it TBH. If she expressed more public support for Kahn, absolutely fine and I think he would merit it. If not, so be it, although I certainly hope Trump and his team are being left in no doubt how inappropriate his behaviour is.
by kwinigolfer on Tue 06 Jun 2017, 11:47 am
I think the only way the POTUS will be "left in no doubt how inappropriate his behaviour is" will be for any notion of a State visit this year to be withdrawn.
That can be reviewed in a year's time, by which time he'll hopefully have been wheeled out of office by people in white coats.

If you look at the trends in the polls, if there isn't some sort of wobble in the next couple of days, it could actually be very very close. Abbot very quickly needs locking up and/or gagged until at least Friday. Has anybody else noticed the subtle (or not) switch to negging Abbot instead of Corbyn??

Depends what polls you're looking at, the more reliable ones from 2015 like ComRes have it wide for the Tories while YouGov which has taken a beating recently has it closed based non representation.

Sweet Jesus Diane, FFS shut up! Even the Tories know of you have a dud, like Hammond or Davies, you hide them away. Has such a senior minister as Hammond ever been kept out of the spotlight so much during an election?
by beninho on Wed 07 Jun 2017, 1:25 am
The personal attacks by the right wing media have been pretty poor recently, but the front pages of the express, sun and mail today are all pretty disgusting. They are obviously scared about the polls and have gone all out on the final day of campaigning.

How would you evaluate the balance of reporting in UK newspapers of the Left and right wing parties?
by super_realist on Wed 07 Jun 2017, 10:32 am
I haven't really been reading them Mac. Who buys newspapers these days?
I guess we could include the online versions if you want, as often they are the same stories just in digital format. But even without reading the actual papers have you not formed an idea of how each outlet covers left and right wing parties?
If you don't want to read negative press about the left, don't read right wing news outlets.
I don't see the problem. It won't affect your vote, so what are you moaning about?
I am more interested in your opinion of the balance of reporting in the UK media in terms of right and left wing parties?
Mac, I couldn't care less about the balance in the UUK media, because it doesn't influence me.
Even if it doesn't influence you do you not have any concerns about how the papers in the UK might be influencing how others vote, and therefore who governs the country you live in?
If people are gullible enough to be influenced by a newspaper, more fool them.
Are you saying gullible people getting fooled into voting for #Brexit or for Theresa has no impact on you?
Mac, regardless of who is in power and regardless of what happens in Europe, it probably won't have a massive impact on my life or yours.
While you are at it you could say that people may have been conned into voting for Corbyn or staying in too couldn't you? It works both ways.
super_realist wrote: It works both ways.
That is sort of the question I have trying to get you to answer. Does it work both ways?
Do you think there are more newspapers with a bias towards the right wing than those with a bias towards the left wing?
If this is true, what does a higher proportion of the population reading right wing biased newspapers mean for our democracy?
Of course it works both ways, have you not seen how rabidly left wing things like Facebook are? More people use that than read newspapers. Facebook is full of people imploring you how to vote, newspapers are at least more subtle than that.
Hardly anyone DOES read newspapers Mac, so who cares? Circulation is nosediving.
I don't understand your reluctance to answer the question; Do you think there are more newspapers with a bias towards the right wing than those with a bias towards the left wing?
(whether it matters or not surely you can answer this question)
I've answered the question. I've told you I don't read them, so how can I answer whether they are biased or not.
I keep hearing they are towards the right, but if you're left wing, you won't be reading those anyway.

I kind of get where Mac is coming from, in an ideal world it would be really useful if newspapers (or at lease some of them) could be trusted to be impartial. however as is abundantly clear...we don't live in an ideal world. So newspapers are biased and partisan, for the most part that's fine, most of us here are well aware that the Mirror and the Guardian, trumpet the optimistic views and stances of the broad left whilst the others run rabidly negative smear and fear campaigns on behalf of the right. What I think Mac is getting at is that there is a significant chunk of the population who are thick enough to believe that everything they read in a paper is true so when a paper prints lies it's a form of deception. The scale of that deception may well influence the eventual result of the election.

I've already freely admitted that I now totally get being a "crazy chicken lady"! Yeah, it'll be great having fresh eggs - you can't get them any fresher than that. But before owning chickens, I never understood how therapeutic they are. No matter how bad a day I've had, my girls never cease to ease all my troubles. They all come running when I show up after work with their daily treasure trove of fruits and veggies. What a greeting! Just watching them in all their chicken-ness never fails to soothe my soul and reconnect me with our beloved pasture and this way of life we have chosen with intention.
Two weeks ago, it was Saturday, and I was tending to chicken chores inside the coop and hubby was taking the partial covers off the windows since the threat of rain had passed [with no rain to show for it :( ]. I noticed that three of the four nests had been arranged...with enthusiasm. And to my sheer delight, one of them contained an egg! Our very first egg! The egg was small, and whomever laid it had pushed all the hay out of the nest, so the egg went into one of the holes of the milk crate. It almost looked like it was sitting down in a little poached egg cup. I shrieked my husband's name...and quickly realized my mistake. He was on a ladder outside the coop...not a good time to shriek and scare him. So I added quickly, "We got our first egg, we got our first egg!"
I've read lots of blogs and facebook posts when people proudly announce finding their first egg. But now I truly understand all the excitement is about!
Despite being little, it was a double-yolker!! I wish we knew who laid it. I'm guessing it had to be one of the goldies (golden laced wyandottes). When we bought our chicks, two of them were a little older than all the others we picked out (we took all three of the goldies and all three of the plymouth barred rocks they had, plus six production reds). While all the girls are all the same size now, those two have a couple of weeks of maturity on the others. It shouldn't be too much longer before they are all at laying age. And I can't wait to be collecting eggs every day.
Cheryl, congrats on getting your first egg. It is exciting when the eggs start coming, isn't it. Wow, the first egg was a double yolk. I wonder if that's a good sign for things to come. Soon there will be so many eggs you will be wondering how to use them all. Have a great chicken egg day in the coop.
