Small but Useful modules: are they worth the pain?
A blogpost on Merge brought a question back that has haunted me for a while now. What about all these small modules?First part of that question is: How to deal with the many small modules, day-to-day?. Quite often, I see sites that drag more then 50 modules along. Most often these are really very simple sites.
That introduces several problems in itself: humongous effort on upgrade management and maintainance, lot of time spent on selection, gigantic complexity -to a level that debugging and troubleshooting becomes impossible- and last: performance. The latter is -imho- one of the least of problems. With 50+ modules, how small they may be, you can be sure of a security release every week, possibly more then one. With proper testing and management, that will mean a couple of hours technical maintainance every week. That is unacceptable for (out of thin air) over threequarters of the Drupalsites. Every time you see a module that does what you want, you should consider the impact of that module on the project as a whole. Not just how many minutes it saves while developing; but also how many hours upgrade pain it may cause.
Second part in this question is: UNIX has this philosophy with gazillion, tiny, focused and optimised libraries and apps, why is it not a problem there?. The answer is probably: managment - and upgrade tools. Drupal has no APT, Gems, VersionTracker or Fink. It has drush that can resolve the minimum of requirements, but hardly more. It has makefiles that provide a good starter for- but are far from- a real package managment tool. The other part of this answer is that UNIX libraries offer no user interface, and that the majority of the tools offer only really low-level user interfaces, most often in the form of configuration options. A small subset offers user interfaces in the form of commandline options. And an even smaller subset offers a real graphical user interface, with options to click, buttons to press and objects to drag. To illustrate: From the 29 packages that help deal with printing (on paper) on my ubuntu machine, only two have a GUI: one to configure and manage printers, the other to print stuff and view the printqueue. Or at least: that is my knowledge, if there are more user interfaces, I do not know of them, nor should I. In Drupal, most modules offer some interaction, add stuff to configuration-pages, offer settings, cases, and so on. In Drupal they not only add technical complexity (dependencies of -, reliance on-, tight coupling with- other modules) they also offer complexity for the user. How often do you not read things like "create a content type, then add a pathauto alias for these nodes, then select the hierarchy from the simple-hierarchy-based-on-aliases module s config interfaces"? I have never read anything like this on ubuntu in order to print an invoice. Small modules are hardly ever librries, they are applications. On UNIX stuff is managable, because probably less then 5% of the apps offer an interface to the user, the rest offers interfaces to software, not to the users.

Justia Dockets & Filings Ninth Circuit Arizona District Court Chapa v. Arpaio et al Filing 90
Chapa v. Arpaio et al
ORDER that pursuant to Rule 41(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure this action is dismissed without prejudice and the Clerk of the Court shall enter judgment accordingly. Signed by Judge Douglas L Rayes on 9/2/2014. (KMG)
1 WO 2 3 4 5 6 IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 7 FOR THE DISTRICT OF ARIZONA 8 9 Ralph John Chapa, 10 11 12 13 14 No. CV-12-2482-PHX-DLR (DKD) Plaintiff, v. ORDER Joseph M. Arpaio, et al., Defendants. 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 Plaintiff, formerly an inmate at the Maricopa County Fourth Avenue Jail and ASPC-Lewis, filed a pro se Prisoner Civil Rights Complaint pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 on November 16, 2012 (Doc. 1). The Court issued a Notice of Assignment on that date, a copy of which was mailed to Plaintiff, in which he was warned that failure to file a Notice of Change of Address could result in the case being dismissed (Doc. 6). On August 28, 2014, the Court was informed by Counsel for Defendant that Defendant's Rule 26(A)(1) Initial Disclosure Statement mailed to Plaintiff on August 15, 2014 at his last known address pursuant to the Court's July 25 Case Management Order was returned, indicating that Plaintiff was no longer in custody (Doc. 89). Plaintiff has not filed a change of address. Plaintiff has the general duty to prosecute this case. Fidelity Philadelphia Trust Co. v. Pioche Mines Consolidated, Inc., 587 F.2d 27, 29 (9th Cir. 1978). In this regard, it is the duty of a plaintiff who has filed a pro se action to keep the Court apprised of his or 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 her current address and to comply with the Court's orders in a timely fashion. This Court does not have an affirmative obligation to locate Plaintiff. "A party, not the district court, bears the burden of keeping the court apprised of any changes in his mailing address." Carey v. King, 856 F.2d 1439, 1441 (9th Cir. 1988). Plaintiff's failure to keep the Court informed of his new address constitutes failure to prosecute. Rule 41(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure provides that "[f]or failure of the plaintiff to prosecute or to comply with these rules or any order of court, a defendant may move for dismissal of an action." In Link v. Wabash Railroad Co., 370 U.S. 626, 629-31 (1962), the Supreme Court recognized that a federal district court has the inherent power to dismiss a case sua sponte for failure to prosecute, even though the language of Rule 41(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure appears to require a motion from a party. Moreover, in appropriate circumstances, the Court may dismiss a complaint for failure to prosecute even without notice or hearing. Id. at 633. In determining whether Plaintiff's failure to prosecute warrants dismissal of the case, the Court must weigh the following five factors: "(1) the public's interest in expeditious resolution of litigation; (2) the court's need to manage its docket; (3) the risk of prejudice to the defendants; (4) the public policy favoring disposition of cases on their merits; and (5) the availability of less drastic sanctions." Carey, 856 F.2d at 1440 (quoting Henderson v. Duncan, 779 F.2d 1421, 1423 (9th Cir. 1986)). "The first two of these factors favor the imposition of sanctions in most cases, while the fourth factor cuts against a default or dismissal sanction. Thus the key factors are prejudice and availability of lesser sanctions." Wanderer v. Johnson, 910 F.2d 652, 656 (9th Cir. 1990). Here, the first, second, and third factors favor dismissal of this case. Plaintiff's failure to keep the Court informed of his address prevents the case from proceeding in the foreseeable future. The fourth factor, as always, weighs against dismissal. The fifth factor requires the Court to consider whether a less drastic alternative is available. Without Plaintiff's current address, however, certain alternatives are bound to be futile. Here, as in Carey, "[a]n order to show cause why dismissal is not warranted or an order -2- 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 imposing sanctions would only find itself taking a round trip tour through the United States mail." 856 F.2d at 1441. The Court finds that only one less drastic sanction is realistically available. Rule 41(b) provides that a dismissal for failure to prosecute operates as an adjudication upon the merits "[u]nless the court in its order for dismissal otherwise specifies." In the instant case, the Court finds that a dismissal with prejudice would be unnecessarily harsh. The Complaint and this action will therefore be dismissed without prejudice pursuant to Rule 41(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that pursuant to Rule 41(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure this action is dismissed without prejudice and the Clerk of the Court shall enter judgment accordingly. Dated this 2nd day of September, 2014. 13 14 15 16 17 Douglas L. Rayes United States District Judge 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 -3-

28 million Galaxy S II and 7 million Galaxy Notes sold till now
by Sunny on June 1, 2012
There is no doubt that Samsung is going to become the world's best Android smart phone maker very soon. Some even say that it has already become the top one. Well, the sales figures do say the same. But if you look closely, only the flag ship smart phones from Samsung are making the charts, entry level Android smart phones are no where to be seen. Well, I guess that is quite good enough for the South Korean company.
The company did release some info about the sales record recently, and that is exactly how we know all this. The Samsung Galaxy S, which was released about a couple of years ago, sold 24 million units in about two years. It was an awesome smart phone and there is nothing wrong if I say that it is because of the Samsung Galaxy S that the company became so popular and started releasing really cool smart phones. So all the Galaxy series smart phones in the market today are different derivations of the Galaxy S.
The Samsung Galaxy S II, which was released just over a year ago, also saw a lot of sales. It is still seeing a lot of sales records. The smart phone got converted into a lot of different variants, the Sky Rocket become one of the most popular ones. Till now, more than 28 million Samsung Galaxy S II smart phones have been sold. And yes, that is very impressive as it out does its predecessor.
The half tablet and half smart phone, the Samsung Galaxy Note (my favorite), is not so bad itself on the chart. Though it was made for a particular class of people, it has shown some really awesome sales. The smart phone, since its release in October last year, has sold around 7 million units. That is a very great number for a smart phone which was not at all meant to record such sales figures.
The South Korean company is all geared up to release the new flagship device, the Samsung Galaxy S III. The smart phone has already recorded 9 million pre orders. So there is no doubt that the smart phone is going to beat the records of both of its predecessors.

'The Mask' (PG-13)
By Joe Brown
Suddenly, Jim Carrey's a full-fledged movie star, thanks to last year's surprise (make that shock) smash "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective," which came from waaaay out of left field to make $72 million (and counting).
With more of his crazed, contortionist comedy, Carrey singlehandedly powers the flimsy follow-up flick "The Mask," which amounts to about 30 minutes of Silly Putty face-making and some truly special effects scattered throughout a truly mediocre two-hour movie.
But those spectacular, surprising 30 minutes are more fun than a summerful of "Speeds" and "Flintstones."
Not much can be said for the rest of "The Mask," which is a lazy Jekyll-and-Hyde rewrite, a ramshackle framework for the (literally) eye-popping FX. Carrey plays Stanley Ipkiss, a not-too-interesting nice guy who works at a bank, and goes home each night to his dog Milo (Max, a Jack Russell terrier, who almost steals scenes from Carrey), and watches his beloved Tex Avery cartoons. In pajamas, of course.
There's a bit of excitement one morning, when a blond bombshell (Cameron Diaz) comes on strong at the bank, but she's just setting Carrey up as a patsy -- her bad guy boyfriend is planning a heist. Later, despondent doormat Carrey discovers an old wooden mask floating in the river, tries it on and turns into an acid-green tornado.
An instant superhero, The Mask is a prankish caricature of Carrey's id, what he wishes he could be. Rakishly zoot-suited in canary yellow, with a garish chartreuse complexion and a gargantuan set of choppers, he ricochets around rooms, swallows bombs and undergoes all sorts of mind-bending mutations.
In this good guise, Carrey gets the girl, gets revenge and even gets a city block of SWAT-team cops bumping helplessly in a conga line (perhaps a too-late parody of Steven Bochco's now-forgotten TV flop "Cop Rock"). Any other actor would be overwhelmed by this sort of mega-makeover. But even without the state-of-the-art, boundary-busting computerized effects from Industrial Light & Magic, Carrey's a human cartoon, and his spontaneous, Avery-esque, anything-for-a-laugh outrageousness makes this otherwise blank "Mask" a must-see.

Q: How to use a Java variable with LIKE and '%' in sql? I want to load data into a jTable when user searches for some relevant details by entering name (a person can have a first name and a last name). I have used below query and it is not giving me results. Please tell me what's wrong here.
Query - "SELECT  id, personal_id , first_name , last_name FROM  person_profile WHERE  first_name LIKE  ?'%' OR  last_name LIKE  ?'%';"
public static Profile searchProfileByName(String name) {
    Profile profile = new Profile();
    try {
        Connection conn = DbConnect.getDBConnection();
        PreparedStatement pst = conn.prepareStatement("SELECT  `id`, `personal_id` , `first_name` , `last_name` FROM  `person_profile` WHERE  `first_name` LIKE  ?'%' OR  `last_name` LIKE  ?'%';");
        pst.setString(1, name);
        pst.setString(2, name);
        ResultSet rs = pst.executeQuery();

        while (rs.next()) {
            profile.setId(rs.getString(1));
            profile.setPersonalId(rs.getString(2));
            profile.setFirstName(rs.getString(3));
            profile.setLastName(rs.getString(4));
        }
        conn.close();

        return profile;
    } catch (SQLException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
        return null;
    }
}

A: I am used to just concatenate the '%' in the parameter like this:
PreparedStatement pst = conn.prepareStatement("SELECT first_name FROM  person_profile WHERE first_name LIKE ?");
...
pst.setString(1, StringUtils.defaultIfBlank(name, "") + "%");

Apple Registers Six New Apple Watch Models With Eurasian Regulatory Committee
by Christopher Baugh – Mon, August 20, 2018
A new government filing from the Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC) suggests that Apple is preparing six new Apple Watch models for launch in the near future.
According to the French blog Consomac, the list is included in a commercialization permit issued by the EEC. It records six completely new denominations: the A1977, A1978, A1975, A1976, A2007 and A2008. This is interesting, as the Apple Watch Series 3 lineup consists of a total of 8 models (actually four, but each comes in two sizes): The GPS-only aluminum variant and the three 4G+GPS variants in aluminum, steel, and ceramic.
The EEC is the executive body of the Eurasian Economic Union responsible for controlling the EEU market and treaties. It is a fairly reliable source when it comes to new Apple product leaks, as shown in previous filings.
The Apple Watch 4 is rumoured to house a larger battery and instead of OLED screen, it may come equipped with a micro-LED display that consumes less battery. Well-known KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has recently claimed that the Apple Watch 4 would be arriving in two screen sizes of 1.57-inch and 1.78-inch. The upcoming Apple Watch models could be powered by an upgraded Apple S4 processor which may be assisted by 1 GB of RAM.
Apple has not changed the physical design of the Apple Watch since the device first went on sale in 2015. This seems likely to be the year in which Apple launches an updated design if the Apple Watch models end up having a larger screen as rumoured.
Apple announced the last two generations of its Apple Watch at its September keynote events, alongside new iPhones. We expect the Cupertino-based company to unveil the Apple Watch Series 4 alongside the 2018 iPhone lineup this September, although no specific date has been confirmed just yet.

Cardin, Delmarva Senators Call to Expand Chesapeake Bay Public Access
WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Ben Cardin (D-Md.), a senior member of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, Tom Carper (D-Del.), Ranking Member of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, Mark Warner (D-Va.), Chris Coons (D-Del.), Tim Kaine (D-Va.) and Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) on Wednesday introduced legislation to reauthorize the highly successful Chesapeake Bay Gateways and Watertrails program run by the National Park Service. For more than 20 years, the Chesapeake Bay Gateways and Watertrails Network has expanded public access to the Chesapeake Bay through a state, local, and federal partnership of 172 Chesapeake sites, parks, wildlife refuges and water trails. The program facilitates enhanced interpretation, education, youth employment, recreation and access to the Chesapeake Bay and rivers, and trailheads for the Captain John Smith Chesapeake and Star-Spangled Banner national historic trails.
The bicameral, bipartisan effort to reauthorize the Chesapeake Gateways and Watertrails Program is spearheaded in the House of Representatives by Congressman John P. Sarbanes (MD-3). The legislation is endorsed by the Chesapeake Conservancy, National Parks Conservation Association, Chesapeake Bay Foundation, Choose Clean Water Coalition, and National Parks Conservation Association.
"The Chesapeake Bay is a national treasure and contributes $1 trillion to our regional economy. But if you cannot get to the Bay, you cannot enjoy all it has to offer," said Senator Cardin. "The Gateways and Watertrails program has been a gamechanger, making the entire Bay experience accessible, attractive and enjoyable for all. I am proud of our ongoing, regional effort to continue federal support for this important program supporting the natural gateways to the Chesapeake Bay."
"This program is one of best tools at our disposal to boost public access to the places that make the Chesapeake Bay Watershed such an important national treasure, " said Senator Carper. "Delaware boasts a variety of sites – both coastal and inland – that speak to the cultural and natural value of the region and draw visitors who contribute to our state's $3 billion a year tourism economy. I'm excited to continue my support of this crucial federal-state partnership."
"Virginians deserve to be able to enjoy all the natural treasures that our Commonwealth has to offer, and the Chesapeake Bay is no exception," said Senator Warner. "Reauthorizing the Chesapeake Gateways and Watertrails program will facilitate community access to the Bay and further public education about the Bay's unique history and rich ecology. This legislation will also continue to boost Virginia's outdoor recreation industry, which supports 197,000 direct jobs and generates more than $21 billion in consumer spending per year."
"The Chesapeake Bay watershed is one of our greatest natural resources, providing wonderful recreational opportunities and supporting the livelihoods of millions across our region," said Senator Coons. "Thousands of visitors from around the country visit our region to immerse themselves in our breathtaking natural landscapes and experience all of the natural, cultural, and historic sites the Chesapeake has to offer. I am proud to be an original co-sponsor of the bipartisan reauthorization of the Chesapeake Gateways and Watertrails program."
"Every year, the Gateways and Watertrails Network teaches millions of visitors about the vital historic, economic, and environmental role the Chesapeake Bay watershed plays," said Senator Kaine. "There are over three dozen Gateways and Watertrails sites across Virginia, and I'm proud of this bipartisan effort to continue supporting them and the surrounding local economies."
"The Bay is a national treasure and a critical economic driver in Maryland. Reauthorizing the Chesapeake Bay Gateways and Watertrails program will ensure that families can continue to make memories on its waters and shores for generations to come. I'm pleased to support this effort to boost tourism and preserve the Bay, and I will continue working in Congress on this crucial issue," said Senator Van Hollen.
Visitation at Chesapeake Gateways sites exceeds 10 million people annually, and the competitive grants program is oversubscribed every year. The National Park Service Chesapeake Bay Office provides matching grants between $5,000 and $50,000 for projects that enhance public education of and access to the Chesapeake Bay. Only sites that have gone through a rigorous review process and have been formally selected as part of the Gateway and Watertrails Network are eligible for the competitive grants.

April sees a legendary fairy tale adapted for the big screen, with the release of Red Riding Hood - and Stylist has been given an exciting insight into the film's costume and production design.
Warner Brothers have created a fantastic sneak peak in to the world of Red Riding Hood with a new behind-the-scenes website, in which director Catherine Hardwicke (of Twilight fame) comments on the production and set images from the new take on the classic fairytale.
Starring the doe-eyed Amanda Seyfried as Valerie, the film version of the Little Red Riding Hood legend takes place in a medieval village, haunted by a werewolf. But aside from the torrid love triangle and frighting synopsis, it's the stunning visuals and costumes in Red Riding Hood that have us captivated.
Take a look at the costume and set sketches - along with Catherine's comments - below.
"This is an illustration that Dean Shrieff did. We had the idea of taking this to the top of a glacier and having this amazing long cape flowing down in the snow."
"These are some of our earlier sketches of the red cape. We were looking at different designs - how much texture should be in the cape, how it should flow, and how it should drape."
"This is our light blue look for Amanda that she wears most of the movie. Her character is from a poor family, peasants, so we had to create a dress that was really form fitting and flattering but also had some flexibility."
"This is Valerie walking up to Grandmother's house."

Certifying Engine Families
Engine families.
View all text of Subpart C [§ 1042.201 - § 1042.255]
§ 1042.230 - Engine families.
(a) For purposes of certification, divide your product line into families of engines that are expected to have similar emission characteristics throughout the useful life as described in this section. You may not group engines in different engine categories in the same family. Your engine family is limited to a single model year.
(b) For Category 1 engines, group engines in the same engine family if they are the same in all the following aspects:
(1) The combustion cycle and the fuel with which the engine is intended or designed to be operated.
(2) The cooling system (for example, raw-water vs. separate-circuit cooling).
(3) Method of air aspiration.
(4) Method of exhaust aftertreatment (for example, catalytic converter or particulate trap).
(5) Combustion chamber design.
(6) Nominal bore and stroke.
(7) Cylinder arrangement (such as in-line vs. vee configurations). This applies for engines with aftertreatment devices only.
(8) Method of control for engine operation other than governing (i.e., mechanical or electronic).
(9) Application (commercial or recreational).
(10) Numerical level of the emission standards that apply to the engine, except as allowed under paragraphs (f) and (g) of this section.
(c) For Category 2 engines, group engines in the same engine family if they are the same in all the following aspects:
(1) The combustion cycle (e.g., diesel cycle).
(2) The fuel with which the engine is intended or designed to be operated and the fuel system configuration.
(3) The cooling system (for example, air-cooled or water-cooled), and procedure(s) employed to maintain engine temperature within desired limits (thermostat, on-off radiator fans, radiator shutters, etc.).
(4) The method of air aspiration (turbocharged, supercharged, naturally aspirated, Roots blown).
(5) The turbocharger or supercharger general performance characteristics (e.g., approximate boost pressure, approximate response time, approximate size relative to engine displacement).
(6) The type of air inlet cooler (air-to-air, air-to-liquid, approximate degree to which inlet air is cooled).
(7) The type of exhaust aftertreatment system (oxidation catalyst, particulate trap), and characteristics of the aftertreatment system (catalyst loading, converter size vs. engine size).
(8) The combustion chamber configuration and the surface-to-volume ratio of the combustion chamber when the piston is at top dead center position, using nominal combustion chamber dimensions.
(9) Nominal bore and stroke dimensions.
(10) The location of the piston rings on the piston.
(11) The intake manifold induction port size and configuration.
(12) The exhaust manifold port size and configuration.
(13) The location of the intake and exhaust valves (or ports).
(14) The size of the intake and exhaust valves (or ports).
(15) The approximate intake and exhaust event timing and duration (valve or port).
(16) The configuration of the fuel injectors and approximate injection pressure.
(17) The type of fuel injection system controls (i.e., mechanical or electronic).
(18) The overall injection timing characteristics, or as appropriate ignition timing characteristics (i.e., the deviation of the timing curves from the optimal fuel economy timing curve must be similar in degree).
(19) The type of smoke control system.
(d) For Category 3 engines, group engines into engine families based on the criteria specified in Section 4.3 of the NOX Technical Code (incorporated by reference in § 1042.910), except as allowed in paragraphs (e) and (f) of this section.
(e) You may subdivide a group of engines that is identical under paragraph (b) or (c) of this section into different engine families if you show the expected emission characteristics are different during the useful life. However, for the purpose of applying small-volume family provisions of this part, we will consider the otherwise applicable engine family criteria of this section.
(f) You may group engines that are not identical with respect to the things listed in paragraph (b), (c), or (d) of this section in the same engine family, as follows:
(1) In unusual circumstances, you may group such engines in the same engine family if you show that their emission characteristics during the useful life will be similar.
(2) If you are a small-volume engine manufacturer, you may group any Category 1 engines into a single engine family or you may group any Category 2 engines into a single engine family. This also applies if you are a post-manufacture marinizer modifying a base engine that has a valid certificate of conformity for any kind of nonroad or heavy-duty highway engine under this chapter.
(3) The provisions of this paragraph (f) do not exempt any engines from meeting the standards and requirements in subpart B of this part.
(g) If you combine engines that are subject to different emission standards into a single engine family under paragraph (f) of this section, you must certify the engine family to the more stringent set of standards for that model year. For Category 3 engine families that include a range of maximum in-use engine speeds, use the highest value of maximum in-use engine speed to establish the applicable NOX emission standard.

Co-Writing With The Dead
Famous people say a lot of famous things. And those famously pithy phrases are gathered for your reading pleasure and reference, in published collections of quotations. This is the story of how I harvested a song from one of those collections.
"Thar's songs in them thar indices!"
I have written some songs. One song that I "wrote" is titled Bartlett's Tale.
When I composed Bartlett's Tale, I wasn't feeling particularly inspired. I didn't have a clever story or situation in mind, but I wanted to write a song.
At other times I have not had any problem with inspiration or subject matter.
I wrote a song about wanting to star in the next Tarzan movie, called Tarzan #19 (A position that has since been taken. Darn). I wrote a song about eating a peach that tasted like a baseball. Well, that's what peaches taste like in March, in the northern hemisphere, right?
So anyway I grabbed my copy of Bartlett's Quotations (the actual title is Familiar Quotations — A Collection of Passages, Phrases, and Proverbs Traced to Their Sources in Ancient and Modern Literature) and started thumbing through it, looking for an idea. At the time I only had one copy, the 1937 edition. Familiar Quotations was first published by John Bartlett in 1882, and has been revised, updated, and republished many times since. I now have a 1990s edition on CD, and a digital version may well be freely available online by now. (I think much of BQ shows up at bartleby.com, though why a fictional character gets credit for hard work done by a real person is beyond me. He (Bartleby) happens to be one of the great, great characters in literature though…)
Familiar Quotations by John Bartlett
I leafed through the main text, with all the full quotations, for half an hour. And, after stumbling through numerous turgid verses (Friends of my youth, a last adieu! Haply some day we meet again; Yet ne'er the selfsame men shall meet; the years shall make us other men. Joseph Warren Fabens) and more suchlike, I thought…Forsooth, this is begetting me nowhither.
So I turned to the index, and found my song.
The short phrases in the index seemed perfect for song lyrics, so I thought about it for a few minutes, and decided to just let Mr. Bartlett write the song for me.
I just had to choose where to look.
I thumbed my way to the S-section of the index, and started with She. I figured that the first verses of many songs starts this way, it's tried and true…and, it will set the subject of the song in place; She, whoever She is.
Here's a pic of what I found in the index, under She, highlighted to show what I selected…
"She played on the banks of the Yuba…"
Examples of songs or choruses that start with She:
She Drives Me Crazy,
She's About a Mover,
She Loves Me Yeah Yeah Yeah,
Dancing Backward, etc.
Let's keep going…
Next place I looked, for the second verse of Bartlett's Tale, was in the index under He. I figured, logically, that this could end up being a She / He song. But alas, it was not to be. There were actually many more quotations indexed in the He section than under She, but too many of them had a proverbial or Confucian feel that didn't quite mesh stylewise with verse one….he doth, he hath, he that giveth… he who sees, he who strives, he who takes off his shoes…(??)
So, the He verse did not materialize within the index, and by this time I had decided, after the success of the first verse, that all the verses would have to come straight out of the index, in whole chunks.
And so, under I, I found verse two here…
"I can cheerfully take it now…"
Authors of these indexed quotations:
Walt Whitman,
Franklin Delano Roosevelt,
John Masefield,
George Washington,
Now I needed a bridge/chorus. If I were writing this out of my own imagination, I would be groping for a an aside, a junction, something to tie the first two verses to some greater wisdom or truth. To bring She and I together….
So for the chorus I perused Bartlett's index under We, and found this:
"We are not amused…"
William Bolitho
Arthur William Edgar O'Shaunessy
Sam Walter Foss
So…finally, I needed one more verse, that finish it verse, the last verse, the verse that moves on, that leaves the yearning behind and looks forward, where our narrating character, having changed and somehow grown wiser, with enlightened eyes, muses on what was, what could have been, and what is and what will never be…
I looked and looked, thumbing and peering through the index, and finally found the section of quotations beginning with, of course, So—a word that conjuncts, that adds, that sums up, that says therefore…
Which gave me this verse…
"So dies a wave along the shore…"
Diogenes Laertius
Charles Mackay
Anna Leticia (Aiken) Barbauld
John Godfrey Saxe
And then, of course, we sing the chorus again,
We are born to wander,
We are men my liege,
We are ne'er like angels,
We are not amused!
We are the music makers, we're waiting for you there….
…and finish up.
So that's how it all went down.
If you'd like to hear the song, it is streamed here, as performed by The Bala Hounds…
http://unheardofbooks.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/Bartletts.mp3
I purposely haven't expounded here in any depth about what I think the song says, what each verse seems to mean, to imply. But when I was "writing" the song, I was looking for the bare framework of intention, of a shape, just enough of a nugget of narrative that it would work as a song.
Usually when I write a song, I write the music first. Sometimes the words and music come about together. Rarely, I write the lyrics first. Bartlett's Tale had been sitting there in the index of Bartlett's Quotations since 1937, waiting for me, so I guess this was the rare case, for me, when the lyrics came first.
Some songs don't need much cohering substance, it seems. The music itself carries flavor, nuance, emotion. Simple songs don't always need to be crystalized distillations with clear and obvious motives or stories or symbols.
Think…She Came In Through The Bathroom Window….
See what I mean?
(By the way, just the index of the 1937 edition of Bartlett's Quotations is itself 479 pages long, representing about one-third of the book. Each of those 479 pages has about 250 entries. So there's more, lots lots more, in there. For inspiration. For ideation. For tips of icebergs to lead to larger, 'underwater' discoveries.)

Q: How to extract matches in multiple rows? I am still learning R and I have a basic question. I have a data frame (df) that looks like this:
    Factor   P1    P2    P3    P4    P5
 1      A  TRUE FALSE  TRUE FALSE  TRUE
 2      A FALSE  TRUE FALSE FALSE  TRUE
 3      B  TRUE  TRUE  TRUE FALSE FALSE
 4      B  TRUE FALSE FALSE  TRUE FALSE
 5      C FALSE FALSE FALSE  TRUE FALSE
 6      C  TRUE  TRUE FALSE FALSE FALSE

df = data.frame("Factor" = c("A","A","B","B","C","C"),
            "P1" = c("TRUE","FALSE","TRUE","TRUE","FALSE","TRUE"),
            "P2" =c("FALSE","TRUE","TRUE","FALSE","FALSE","TRUE"),
            "P3" = c("TRUE","FALSE","TRUE","FALSE","FALSE","FALSE"),
            "P4" = c("FALSE","FALSE","FALSE","TRUE","TRUE","FALSE"),
            "P5" = c("TRUE","TRUE","FALSE","FALSE","FALSE","FALSE"))

I would like to collapse the common Factor across the df so that whenever TRUE is present in either rows for the same Factor, it will be reported as TRUE. Something like this:
Factor    P1     P2     P3     P4     P5
  A     TRUE   TRUE   TRUE  FALSE   TRUE
  B     TRUE   TRUE   TRUE   TRUE  FALSE
  C     TRUE   TRUE  FALSE   TRUE  FALSE

Could someone help? Thanks!

A: There's two steps here:

*

*Convert all the P columns to logical vectors with as.logical

*Group on Factor, and then use any to see if any of the values for each P for each Factor are TRUE
library(tidyverse)
df <- data.frame("Factor" = c("A", "A", "B", "B", "C", "C"), "P1" = c("TRUE", "FALSE", "TRUE", "TRUE", "FALSE", "TRUE"), "P2" = c("FALSE", "TRUE", "TRUE", "FALSE", "FALSE", "TRUE"), "P3" = c("TRUE", "FALSE", "TRUE", "FALSE", "FALSE", "FALSE"), "P4" = c("FALSE", "FALSE", "FALSE", "TRUE", "TRUE", "FALSE"), "P5" = c("TRUE", "TRUE", "FALSE", "FALSE", "FALSE", "FALSE"))
df %>%
  mutate_at(vars(-Factor), as.logical) %>%
  group_by(Factor) %>%
  summarise_all(any)
#> # A tibble: 3 x 6
#>   Factor P1    P2    P3    P4    P5
#>   <fct>  <lgl> <lgl> <lgl> <lgl> <lgl>
#> 1 A      TRUE  TRUE  TRUE  FALSE TRUE
#> 2 B      TRUE  TRUE  TRUE  TRUE  FALSE
#> 3 C      TRUE  TRUE  FALSE TRUE  FALSE

Created on 2019-02-22 by the reprex package (v0.2.1)

A: A different tidyverse option could be:
df %>%
 gather(var, val, -Factor) %>%
 group_by(Factor, var) %>%
 mutate(val = ifelse(any(val), TRUE, FALSE)) %>%
 distinct() %>%
 spread(var, val)

  Factor P1    P2    P3    P4    P5
  <fct>  <lgl> <lgl> <lgl> <lgl> <lgl>
1 A      TRUE  TRUE  TRUE  FALSE TRUE
2 B      TRUE  TRUE  TRUE  TRUE  FALSE
3 C      TRUE  TRUE  FALSE TRUE  FALSE

First, it transforms the data from wide to long, excluding the "Factor" variable. Second, it groups by "Factor" and the other variables. Third, it checks the condition. Finally, it removes the duplicate rows and returns it back to wide format.
Or based on the idea of @Calum You:
df %>%
 mutate_at(vars(-Factor), as.logical) %>%
 group_by(Factor) %>%
 summarise_all(funs(sum(.) > 0))

Or:
df %>%
 mutate_at(vars(-Factor), as.logical) %>%
 group_by(Factor) %>%
 summarise_all(funs(!all(!.)))

With base R:
x <- cbind(df[, 1], data.frame(apply(df[, -1], 2, function(x) as.logical(x))))
colnames(x) <- colnames(df)

aggregate(. ~ Factor, x, function(x) any(x))

  Factor   P1   P2    P3    P4    P5
1      A TRUE TRUE  TRUE FALSE  TRUE
2      B TRUE TRUE  TRUE  TRUE FALSE
3      C TRUE TRUE FALSE  TRUE FALSE

Or:
aggregate(. ~ Factor, x, function(x) sum(x) > 0)

Or:
aggregate(. ~ Factor, x, function(x) !all(!x))

Hear what people are saying about us
"It has been a pleasure to have met you and work with you over the last 6 months. As you know we had a very aggressive timeline from the time we sold our home of 28 years in Calgary, purchased a lot in the seaside community, Arbutus Ridge on Vancouver Island and began to build our dream home. We did this mostly from 1,000 miles away with the use of technology and the tremendous support and attention to detail by you, your office staff and your very capable and professional tradesmen.
There are many stories from others about building a new home; most of them disappointing and frustrating. From the time you were referred to Myra and I and we had our first meeting, you have been reassuring and always were looking after our best interest. From design, to permit approvals, to all phases of construction and most importantly keeping our new neighbours satisfied in an established community was appreciated. The agreed to phased timelines were met, the detailed budgets versus actual costs were realistic and where they were exceeded it was due to our 'change of mind'.
"Thank you very much to you and your team. It is without hesitation that Myra and I will recommend Bob Thomson Construction to anyone looking to take on a project that requires high standards, innovative approaches and an eye on the details"
-Ron & Myra Jones
"Thank you, Lisa and Bob Thomson, for the great experience of building our custom home. We were nervous, but you made it easy!
"Bob said building would take 6 months—and we couldn't believe when it did! Because it's in the flood zone, Bob had to build the house 7 feet above ground, but the plans he came up with were amazingly creative. He was always coming up with great suggestions and communicated with us regularly.
"We have been living in our dream home for a year now and we love it. It even won the Residential Development Award of Excellence."
-Henk & Joyce
"Bob is a true creative genius. He took the concept I had for my fireplace and turned it into a work of art, including me each and every step of the way. He instinctively understood when I needed to be involved and when I did not. His team was respectful and I enjoyed having them in my personal space. Bob Thomson is exceptional!"
- Ellen
Henk & Joyce

"After interviewing several builders, we had the good fortune of meeting Bob Thomson, of Bob Thomson Construction. He made our dream of having a custom home a reality. The architectural plans from our architect were less than what we had expected, and Bob had to fill in many blanks. With the breadth of his experience, he made the process feel easy with his confident, optimistic, can-do nothing-seemed-impossible attitude. He was able to understand our style and anticipate our concerns and wishes. By the end of the project, he could almost read our minds. His experience, ingenuity and creativity allowed us to do things with our home that other builders and architects said were not possible. He suggested so many things that were inexpensive but added so much value to the home; snow melt system, extension of the deck, mezzanine, and on and on. I can without reservation say that due to his experience and ingenuity he saved us 10% in construction cost. He prides himself on saving the client money while improving the quality of construction and value of the amenities. He is without a doubt one of the most honest contractors you will find.
By the time our home was complete, we had the utmost respect and admiration for Bob. He had professional and competent crews and subs. Several years later, we still consider Bob a friend. He continues to be there for us, and we love our home."

Write up courtesy of 'Bit of Bully Darts'.
Yesterday, Jack Male travelled to Chesterfield for the England Darts Youth event. Jack had already tasted success in these events, where he won one event out of the three he played last year, in Gateshead.
In his group stage, Jack won 2 of his 3 group games (3-0 against Eleanor Cairs and a 3-0 against Tavis Dudeney), narrowly losing to Henry Coates 3-2 after missing darts to win from 2-0 down. However, other results meant he still finished top of his group.
The last 32 saw Jack take on Holly Meadwell, who he despatched 3-0 with some high scoring and solid finishing. The same score lines followed in the last 16 and quarter finals, against Reece Pauling and Dalton Storr, respectively. Jack fired in finishes of 156 and 157 on the way.
In the semi finals, Jack faced Luke 'The Nuke' Littler, seeking revenge after Luke recently beat him at a JDC tour event. Jack moved past Luke 4-1 and moved into the final.
In the final, Jack faced JDC European Champion Brad Phillips, in a repeat of Jack's final win last year. It was nip and tuck all the way through with both players at a very high standard, but just like he did last year, Jack emerged victorious with a 5-3 win. In his first England event of 2019, Jack masked the best start he could do in the hunt to make the finals at the end of the year, which he finished runner up in 2018.
Following on from their fantastic 'Grand Slam Pairs' victory in 2018, Harry Robinson & David Gradwell went all the way in the Pairs comp at Sky Lounge on Saturday.
The day consisted of 24 pairs split into 4 groups of 6. Each pair had 5 group games, with the top 2 qualifying for the knockout stages.
In the groups, Robinson & Gradwell won all 5 games only dropping 3 legs en route to the knockouts. They faced Runners up in Group C, McDine & Lawson in the quarters and defeated them 4-1.
Already proving to be the strongest pair on the day, they carried on their form into the semi finals, despatching Matthews & Craig Anderson before facing their group runners up In the final.
It proved to be a much tighter affair than the group game, however, they dug deep and defeated Shanks and Rydz to take the title and the £400 first prize.
Lastly, a big shout out to Matthew Hodgson who kept the competition running as smoothly as possible and supported me throughout the day.
Another great competition was held at Sky Lounge in Washington on Saturday 30th March. With only 4 days notice, the competition attracted 51 players with some of the best talent in the region taking part.
Kev McDine was too strong on the day, as he despatched Craig Anderson in the quarters before beating Ryan Joyce 5-1 in the Semi Finals.
The final saw him up against Tony Wood. The tie went the distance, with McDine edging out Wood in the decider to take the win.
On Tuesday 19th March we were treated to a fantastic night of darts, with the 32 Man Invitational Darts Event consisting of the finest talent in the region.
The event consisted of a straight knockout with the winner taking home £800 First Prize, Winners Trophy and title 'King of the North'. The early rounds consisted of best of 9, with the final best of 11.
With just shy of 200 spectators there to witness the likes of Glen Durrant, Chris Dobey, Ryan Joyce and Adam Hunt battle if out in an FA Cup Style Draw knockout, to take the bragging rights of the best player in the North, it was a night to remember for everyone who attended Shotton Comrades Club.
Firstly, well done to all participants who accepted their invitation and put £50 on the line to compete. The field consisted of Professionals, County Players and players who have competed at the highest level over the years, making it a great show for those that attended.

The evening kicked off with a live draw and it certainly did not disappoint, as Glen 'Duzza' Durrant was drawn out against World Number 35, Chris 'Hollywood' Dobey.
The magic of the FA Cup did not let us down!
As you can see with the picture below, it attracted quite a large crowd.
The darts the crowd witnessed were worthy of any TV competition, with both Chris and Glen producing great darts.
Glen took an early 3-0 lead in 13, 14 and 16 darts.
Chris battled back, but Glen was in fine form, breaking again with a 14 dart leg to take the lead 4-0.
Glen missed 2 match darts and Chris capitalised with 108 checkout to make it 4-1.
However, the 3x BDO champ prevailed, wrapping the match up in 16 darts. Duzza averaged just shy of 100 including 3x 180s.
Moving into the last 16, with the losers picking up £50, therefore winning their money back, the draw certainly didn't disappoint again, with Durrant facing Ryan 'Relentless' Joyce.
Again, this match attracted the crowds, but the match was a little closer, with Duzza edging out Joyce in a 5-4 thriller.
BDO Ranked Number 3, Allan 'The Rock' Edwards started off in fine form as he defeated Kev McDine first round before despatching Dave 'The Badger' Prins in Round 2.
As we moved into the quarter finals, with a fair share of players qualifying under the radar as a handful of big hitters were dumped out early doors.
PDC player, Terry Temple only dropped 2 legs in his two opening games, against two great players in Tony Wood & Keith Wright. However, he was tested in the quarter finals as he faced UK Open Qualifier, Kev Thoburn. Another great game for the spectators, with Terry edging out Kev in a 9 leg thriller.
Glen faced another PDC Player in Adam Hunt, as he faced one of the hardest routes to this stage.
Both Glen and Adam held throw early doors, before Glen capitalised in leg 4, to break and lead 3-1. That early break proved to be clinical as he went onto win the game 5-2 and book himself in the semi finals.
As we neared the business end of the competition, the live draw again did not let us down as Durrant faced good friend Allan Edwards in the semi finals, but proved too strong for 'The Rock' and made sure in fine fashion.
In the other semi final, 'The Terminator', Terry Temple whitewashed Paul Jennings, 5-0.
Moving onto the stage for the Final, with Matthew Hodgson on the computer and MC Joe Goodison hosting the evening, both Glen and Terry were welcomed onto the stage with walk on music for the crowd.
Glen was joined by his young fan 'Kai Tiffen', who proved to be a big hit with all players and spectators, as seen below in the selected photos!
The game got under way with Joe Goodison calling and both players produced great darts. En route to victory, Duzza took out 167 on the bull to get the crowd up on their feet.
A fantastic night, with Glen 'Duzza' Durrant crowned 'King of the North' and taking home the winners prize money of £800.
Lastly, a big shout to all those that helped make the night a success, to the organiser, Dave Prins, to those that marked on the evening, to those that helped raise a fantastic amount of money for the charity, 'Little Treasures' and helped with setup/takedown!
A huge success and we are all looking forward to King of the North 2020.
There were two competitions this weekend, with both over 50 entries. Saturday's competition was held at Wolsingham WMC with Eddie Mordica carrying on his fine form to defeat Richie Archbold in the final.
On Sunday we were at Houghton Comrades Club with 'Relentless' Ryan Joyce defeating John Kippen in the final.
Great day at Houghton with big hitters in attendance. Good to see a good mixture of youngsters coming through and challenging the regulars on the circuit. Cracking venue for darts and superb hospitality, with free pizza for all attendees!
15, 14, 13, 18, 14, 21 darts.
Northumberland's Kev Thoburn has qualified for the PDC UK Open 2019. He battled his way through the Riley's Nottingham qualifier defeating Ritchie 'Madhouse' Edhouse in the final. The UK Open will take place 1st-3rd March at Butlin's Minehead, live on ITV Sport.
In the biggest move since the tournament was introduced in 2003, the PDC will be abolishing the UK Open Qualifiers for professional players which had previously been used to determine 96 qualifiers.
All 128 Tour Card Holders will now be invited straight into the UK Open from 2019 onwards, with the field complemented by 16 Rileys Amateur Qualifiers and 16 qualifiers from the 2018 PDC Unicorn Challenge Tour Order of Merit.
Another fantastic day at the Sky Lounge in Washington. A venue that has it all for sports fans, with 22 TVs, snooker tables, pool tables and more importantly, a great darts setup!
After last year's 118 entries, we brought in some new boards to make sure it ran as smoothly as possible. This year we had 116 entries and plenty of new faces travelling from afar to compete.
Kicking off the day, there was a tasty matchup in round one, with Kevin McDine defeating David Gradwell. Also, in round one we saw Stephen Mallams narrowly defeated by Alan Davie, but Mallams picked up the highest checkout prize of £80 with a 160 checkout (best on the day).
Moving into the last 8 we saw the games heating up and the big hitters facing each other, with Ryan Joyce beating Kevin McDine 4-2. Tony Wood defeated fellow super league player Ste Addison 4-1 in another great match up. En route to the quarters, local lad Graham Dennison defeated some great players such as Dan Mock and James Forster before despatching Alan Davie 4-1 to set up a semi final against Ryan Joyce.
In the last 64, youngster Jack Male battled through a fantastic game with Ian Gleeson that had everyone glued to the board. Jack was in fine form on the day and knocked out some top players en route to the semi final. The young Tyne & Wear hitter faced Tony Wood, who has been in fine form as of late and the match didn't disappoint. A best of 7 game that went the distance and Male produced some great darts to despatch Mr Wood and put him in the final against Ryan Joyce.
A short break before the final, the stage was set and still a load of people in the venue to witness Joyce v Male. 'Relentless' showed his class by beating 'Maestro' 5-0 and being crowned Sky Lounge Winter Open Champion 2019. Jack Male picked up both the runners up prize money and the furthest youth on the day, a great day all round for the young lad.
Thanks to David Castledene for calling the final and Andy Parks for marking it.
Darts is a great sport to unite people and yesterday proved that, with players and spectators travelling from far and wide to attend and was a great atmosphere the whole day.
Thank you to David Ball and Marc Farnsworth from the Sky Lounge for putting in £600 towards the prize pot, highest check out and furthest youth prize. Thank you to Jen and the Sky Lounge staff for the great service and lastly thank you to Andy Allaker, Stephen Bainbridge, Gerry Grieve, Scott Collingwood, Matt Hodgson, Marie Carline and Fergus Easton for their help yesterday (and today for takedown), without you lot, these competitions would not be a success.
We look forward to bringing more big competitions to the North East!


Hello, Should be a beautiful evening at the Metropolitan Museum of Art! Weather is sunny with perfect temperatures. Will be interesting to see who is attending and what they will be wearing..
It is widely judged to be the fashion world's most extravagant night out, wielding huge influence over trends on the high street. This year's red carpet will be graced by a host of celebrities including Lupita Nyong'o, Sarah Jessica Parker, Taylor Swift and Kim Kardashian as well as industry VIPs and some of the wealthiest people in the world, each splashing out $25,000 (£15,000) on a ticket.
The influence of the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art's annual gala opening for its annual fashion exhibition has spread far beyond upper echelons of the industry as fashion retailers watch for a new trend that they can cash in on.
"It's probably the most looked at event in the fashion calender, even more so than the Oscars," says Gemma Hayward, senior fashion editor at Grazia magazine.
Last year's exhibition, Punk: Chaos to Couture, which examined the influence of punk on high fashion since the early 1970s, led to retailers, including Zara and asos.com, doing a roaring trade in studded sandals, while the Superheroes theme of 2008 meant that cartoon-printed superhero T-shirts littered the high street.
More recent, playful themes have been interpreted by celebrities looking to score red carpet publicity points – with mixed success. Beyoncé's take on punk in 2013 suffered charges of resembling a dictator's interior decor, and worse, of being unflattering.
However, the focus of this year's exhibition "Charles James: Beyond Fashion" – a retrospective of the 20th-century British-born, American-based couturier – may pose a problem for high-street brands looking to turn the look of the Met ball into sales. Guests are expected to embrace the high society theme with extravagant ballgowns and elbow-length gloves likely to take top billing. It is a look which, unlike last year's punk theme isn't so easy to reinterpret on the high street.

The Irish Water Spaniel is a stout dog and the largest of the Spaniels. The body has a deep but narrow chest to facilitate swimming, straight front legs, hind quarters slightly higher than the shoulders, and webbed feet that again assist with swimming. The rather large head has an arched skull, a long square muzzle, long pendulous ears, dark eyes and a curly top-knot. The distinctive coat consists of a dense undercoat and a crisp, curly outercoat, and the colouring is normally liver.
Irish Water Spaniels are bold, fun-loving natural clowns with personalitites that can sometimes differ from timid to nervous to suspicious. With proper socialisation though, generally they are easy-going, eager to please and inquisitive, and their very high energy levels as puppies will decrease as they grow older. Although some can be one-person dogs, mostly they are family-loving dogs that are devoted, although often mischievous. These dogs are gentle, eager, highly intelligent and quick to learn, which can make training easier, but they can also be quite stubborn, sensitive and independant too, which makes them best suited to those with some experience of dog ownership rather than for novices. For example they will sometimes refuse commands from family members who have not established leadership over them. Irish Water Spaniels get along well with children, particularly when raised alongside them, and also with pets when again socialised early - otherwise some can be aggressive, particularly with other dogs. These protective dogs will be wary and reserved around strangers, which also makes them effective watchdogs. Although normally quiet, with the tendency to drool and slobber occasionally, they will bark to warn the family when absolutely necessary.
Irish Water Spaniels originate from Ireland, unsurprisingly, and were bred to retrieve water birds. Probably descended from Poodles and Irish Setters, they have a long history albeit with a rather unlcear origin.
Irish Water Spaniels tend to live between 10-12 years, and although generally a healthy breed there are a few noted health problems, including hip dysplasia, hypothyroidism, allergies, skin conditions, autoimmune disorders, eye entropion and epilepsy.
Irish Water Spaniels are low shedders, which makes them suitable for allergy sufferers, although their grooming requirements are somewhat medium to high because their coat tends to mat a lot. The coat will require brushing several times each week to keep it in good condition, and hair around the bottom area should be kept trimmed for hygience reasons. Other trimming should be done by a professional when required. The ears should be checked and kept clean and dry to reduce the chance of any infections.
Irish Water Spaniels have a lot of energy and stamina and love to be outdoors. For this reason they are best suited to the country, or at least suburban areas, and need a long daily walk plus chance to play outdoors in a yard or garden. The chance of a long swim will be appreciated too.

I've never had many idols in MTB, sure some legends that you know shred and are hopefully good crew, but always figured they were just normal peoples behind the googles and full face. Missy Giove was always an enigma to me, from photos in mags and video parts, to meeting her by default in Cairns at the World Champs back in the 90's post ejecting her Cannondale into the pits. She did things her way, I think that's what I dug… VICE's Red Cards Series goes deep with Missy "The Missile" Giove. Aside being known as one of the first women to break out on the mountain biking scene in the 90s, Giove was known for her high-intensity riding style and outspoken personality. Her pedal to the mettle attitude did not always result in the safest rides, however, and Giove suffered several injuries throughout her career, eventually causing her to put down the bike.
With mounting medical bills and few other options for income after her career drew to a close, Giove sought a new form of adrenaline rush by smuggling millions of dollars worth of marijuana across the country. A massive DEA operation brought Giove head to head with law enforcement in 2009, and she faced up to 40 years in jail. Nearly 10 years later, this mini doco gives some amazing insights into her life of high stakes racing, the fall from grace and the even bigger challenges she faces now. Some inspiring words to live by in this. Much love.


Dr.Whelan has decided to give you a ONE and a half DAY BOWEL PREPARATION. A clean colon allows the doctor to see the lining of your colon well. The colon must be completely clean for the procedure to be accurate and complete. Therefore, you must carefully read and perform the bowel preparation as outlined below. If you have any questions after reading the following material please call 212-523-8172.
It is important that you continue to take your usual medications throughout this bowel preparation. If possible aspirin, Motrin and other non-narcotic analgesics should be avoided for five days prior to the colonoscopy. If a doctor has prescribed the aspirin for you, please call and ask that physician if you can safely stop taking the medication before the colonoscopy. If you are taking any kind of blood thinners (Coumadin/Lovenox), IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT YOU CONTACT THE ABOVE NUMBER AND THE PRACTITIONER WHO PRESCRIBED the blood thinner for specific instructions. If you are a diabetic who takes insulin, you may want to adjust your insulin doses when you stop taking solid foods. If you have any questions regarding diabetic management, you should consult your internist or family practice physician.
You should STOP eating all solid food after lunch (1pm to 2pm).
1) At 2:00pm take two dulcolax pills. No prescription required.
2) Anytime from 4pm to 6pm drink a bottle of magnesium citrate. Although you should NOT eat solid food, it is important to consume an adequate number of calories in the form of CLEAR LIQUIDS. Clear liquids include fruit juices, tea, coffee (without milk), water, soda, vitamin waters, Gatorade, Jell-O, (not red or orange), broth, popsicles…….NO MILK or MILK PRODUCTS like ice cream. Please do NOT have anything that is RED or ORANGE.
Continue with clear liquids ONLY.
1) At 2:00pm you should start the Nulytely preparation; you should have been given a prescription for this, which can be filled at any pharmacy. Mix according to directions. You will need to finish the gallon within 4-6 hours. This will result in multiple bowel movements. Commit to the fact ahead of time that you will need to be in or near the bathroom for 4-6 hours.
Refrigerating may help, but if you prefer it at room temperature that is okay too.
If you get bloated during the process, stop for some time and then resume.
If you find the last unpleasant, sucking on limes, lemons, or sour ball candies before and after every drink may help.
Apply Vaseline to the rectal area as needed to prevent soreness.
You MUST BE escorted home on the day of the examination by a friend or relative over the age of 18 years. Conscious sedation is often given to make the exam more comfortable; consequently, it may take several hours to wear off. THE EXAM MAY BE CANCELLED IF YOU COME ALONE. YOU MUST ARRIVE AN HOUR BEFORE YOUR APPOINTMENT TIME.

The Hypochondriac Ep 1
Video of The Hypochondriac Ep 1
Macarena Gonzales strongly believes that she has inherited a strange neurological illness from her mother that will take her to the grave. Because of this, she dedicates her entire life preparing for that moment and any sign from her body is an irrefutable symptom of her pending doom. Lucky for her, she meets Dr. Alejandro Pulido, a psychiatrist who tells her what she has long awaited to hear: she only has six months to live. Happily, she tells the whole world that she was right and she is not a hypochondriac. Macarena begins to do all the things she had spent years planning: quit her job, go into debt in order to live like a queen in her final days, and ask her boyfriend, J.J., to grant her wish to marry her. But the problem is that she is not going to die; Dr. Alejandro accidentally switched her results with another patient. Alejandro decides not to tell the truth at first. He cannot put at risk his current important research project, his reputation or his career. From that point forward, he does whatever it takes to be close to Macarena and tries to keep her insanity under control until he is ready to admit his mistake. But along the way, he begins to fall in love with this woman who, in turn, will discover that living has its charms. Inevitably, she falls in love with Dr. Alejandro, too. But what will happen when she discovers that he has spent months deceiving her and that she actually has a long life ahead of her?
A co-production of Caracol Television and Sony Pictures Television
Stephanie Cayo
Macarena Gonzalez
She is a funny and passionate 29 year-old woman. Her life has not been easy and it seems that she won't be able to change her fate: every woman in her family has died by the age of 30 from a strange disease called the Helga Syndrome. As a result, Macarena has turned into an obsessive hypochondriac. In one of her frequent doctor visits, she is misdiagnosed by Dr. Alejandro Pulido when he informs her she only has 6 more months to live. From that moment on, everything will drastically change. She will start making the most of every moment she has left. When Dr. Alejandro realizes his mistake and finally tells her the truth, she will start paying the consequences of her spending sprees and extravagant lifestyle. She will have to start her life over from scratch – a new beginning that will make her feel more alive than ever before and ultimately know true love.
Ernesto Calzadilla
Alejandro Pulido Maldonado
He is an extremely smart and handsome 35 year-old neurologist. Along with his brother, he runs the Clinic Pulido Sain that has belonged to their family for generations. He is not a boring man. He is just a loner who portrays himself as perfect, interesting and mysterious. When he meets Macarena, he will discover that sometimes the heart wins over reason. He will fall madly in love with her, even though she is literally his polar opposite.
Cristina Campuzano
Camila Santos
She is Alejandro's girlfriend and a very successful 32 year-old cardiologist. She is beautiful and sophisticated. She plays perfectly the role of a harmless woman. Her love for Alejandro is obsessive. A psychiatrist would diagnose her as bipolar because she portrays herself as an independent, mature, courageous and self-sufficient woman, when in reality, she is a very insecure and scared person.
Jhon Alex Toro
He has been Macarena's boyfriend for seven years. He is in his 30s and works in a bank as a financial advisor. He is the neighborhood stud. He is obviously handsome, funny and a great dancer. He and Macarena have broken up too many times to count and they fight incessantly. Their relationship is a rollercoaster of emotions, thus Macarena believes that is just the way love is. Everybody thinks he is the ultimate bachelor and no woman could resist his charms. Consequently, he cheats on Macarena with a co-worker with whom he has a very passionate affair.

Governor declares state of emergency for flooding
Governor Deval Patrick declared a statewide State of Emergency and mobilized the National Guard in response to the impact of the March 29 rain event that is expected to produce heavy rains, cause beach erosion, major flooding, and widespread road closures.
The governor made the announcements following a briefing with public safety and transportation officials Monday afternoon at the headquarters of the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency (MEMA).
"With this statewide State of Emergency in effect, all of the state emergency agencies will coordinate with other state agencies as well as local emergency management officials as they have been doing from the beginning," Patrick said. "I am also mobilizing the National Guard effective immediately to help in the relief efforts. They will have 700 troops deployed by daybreak tomorrow with the capacity to deploy up to 1,000 should we need them depending on how the storm situation evolves. The guard will be strategically prepositioned for access to any area that needs assistance with evacuations, sandbagging and safety patrols. Residents of flood zones should closely monitor the storm and prepare for the possibility of needing to evacuate quickly."
The National Weather Service is predicting rainfall totals between 3 inches and 6 inches, with localized areas as high as 7 inches.
The storm is slow moving and not expected to move out to sea until Wednesday. Small stream flooding is expected across the state beginning late this afternoon or evening.
The declaration of a State of Emergency enables the governor to take the appropriate steps to mobilize many of the Commonwealth's assets, such as the National Guard, and conduct other emergency business to assist local communities in their response to and recovery from the many impacts of this storm.

Review of Randgold Resources' Nielle permit confirms opportunities for extending mine life
Randgold Resources stated that an ongoing review of Nielle permit, which hosts the Tongon gold mine, has confirmed multiple opportunities to extend the life of the operation beyond the currently scheduled four-years.
Hemanth
The main focus of the Tongon exploration programme was near-mine targets with high resource potential, while the firm was building a permit portfolio for another major discovery elsewhere in Côte d'Ivoire.
Randgold Resources chief executive Mark Bristow said: "Tongon was born in the midst of a political crisis in Côte d'Ivoire, and has since had to overcome many challenges of an external, as well as an operational nature.
"The team has persevered, however, and ended 2016 with a gold production record for the fourth quarter of the year.
"Building on that base,with a strong emphasis on costs, as well as maximising the benefits of its plant upgrades and expansion, Tongon is on track to achieve its production guidance of 285,000oz of gold for 2017."
"By maximising the benefits of its plant upgrades and expansion, Tongon is on track to achieve its production guidance of 285,000oz of gold for 2017."
Randgold acquired the Nielle permit in 1996, and the prefeasibility study on Tongon was completed in 2001, though plans to develop the mine were ultimately put on hold due to the breakout of civil war the following year.
The company resumed work on the project in 2007, and the mine was commissioned in 2010 amidst another political upheaval.
Bristow further noted: "The past year has again been a difficult one as Côte d'Ivoire met further challenges in its nation-building process.
"These included a wave of strikes and protest actions which impacted negatively on civil society, the economy and the mining industry.
"As evidenced by our continuing investment here, however, our belief in the country and in its people's ability to work through these difficulties remains unshaken."
Randgold is an Africa focused gold mining company engaged in exploration, development and other affiliated activities.

Breaking Down the Stranger Things Super Bowl Spot
Email image/svg+xml
By The Credits
We've rounded up the very best of the Super Bowl's film spots, looking at Logan, Transformers: Last Knight, Ghost in the Shell, Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol. 2, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell no Tales, and The Fate of the Furious. Today, we're looking at one more spot for a little Netflix series you may have heard of—Stranger Things.
The new teaser for the next season of Stranger Things was one of the most buzzed about of any shown during the big game, with the possible exception of Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol. 2. The Duffer Brothers critically acclaimed first season blew us all away—from the Spielbergian medley of adolescent wonder and dread to the ace performances across the cast, everything worked. The 1980s-set sci-fi series was never expected to be this big of a smash, one that warranted a Super Bowl spot.
What we know about season two, even with this glorious new teaser, is still limited. Director and producer Shawn Levy has gone on record saying that season two picks up a year later in the story, with some people in the small town of Hawkins, Indiana, aware of what happened to Will Byers (Noah Schnapp), while others are still clueless. Jim Hopper himself (David Harbour) said in an interview with Vanity Fair that the script for the first episode had him very excited:
"I got the first script of season two, and the first five minutes I was on my feet going, 'Yes! Yes!' Because they open up the world in such a new way. And these characters that I feel like are so iconic, and that we love so deeply, get to really go on different arcs and different journeys and explore these little things that we touched on in their personalities and psychologies. And we get to really expand on that… I really do think it's going to be thrilling. And you can tweet at me that I'm an idiot if it's not."
Let's begin with that classic Eggos commercial. Aside from being time period appropriate (the commercial actually aired in 1980, four years before the events of season two begin), recall that Eggos played a part in season one. Eggos are the food that Eleven (Mille Bobby Brown) liked, and that Chief Hopper left for her in the woods.
The flash of the arcade shot seems to hint that season two will take place partly in one of the most popular settings for kids in the 80s. Plus, spending time in an arcade will give the Duffer Brothers and the rest of the creative team plenty of opportunity to tease out more cultural touchstones from the era. Which game will be their favorite? Donkey Kong? We've got our money on Space Invaders?
Speaking of Eleven, the teaser proves that, although she went missing at the end of season one, she's back. Does the fact that the shot is upside down mean anything significant? Possibly. Or it might be to tease us into thinking she's back in the Upside Down. Either way, while her inclusion in season two isn't exactly a surprise, it's a fact we're relieved about.
The Ghostbusters make their presence felt. The 1984 classic came out the year season two takes place, and the boys can be seen wearing proton packs while peddling madly on their bikes.
Chief Hopper seems to have gotten himself in trouble again. What in the world is going on in that shot of him in the midst of what appears to be a house exploding? The next time we see him, he's digging a hole. Strange times for Chief Hopper continue.
Flamethrower man appears, likely a bad guy (or girl) working for the government. We also see that Will is being experimented on (how'd they get him away from his mom Joyce, played by Winona Ryder?), and that he's sketching what appears to be a huge, terrifying monster.
That monster. In the teaser's most Spielbergian moment, will goes to the door, opens it, and reveals a red sky beyond, much like the iconic shot from Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Then we see, at the teaser's end, the very thing Will was sketching in his notebook—a monster that makes the Demigorgon from the Upside Down look like the Energizer Bunny.
Stranger Things returns next October.
