Very easy-to-use online ordering, flowers were delivered on time and we're fresh and beautiful.
Last minute order when one of those online flower shops fell through at the last minute - I didn't think I would be able to find a florist still able to get my mother flowers by Mother's Day (It was 8 o'clock Friday night by the time the online place informed we they were not sending anything). Mc Glathry's answered (they were open), took my order and no problem getting my mother some flowers! Excellent!
The flowers are beautiful and I am enjoying them very much.
I have purchased several times flowers from you shop...I'VE NEVER BEEN DISAPPOINTED and would recommend you to my friends. Your flowers and arrangements are beautiful. A very HAPPY CUSTOMER AND I WILL ORDER AGAIN.
Mom absolutely loved her purple flowers. She wanted to know if there was a day for grandPAs as well. She said she felt so very special. Thank you for making a grandma feel important for Grandparents' Day!! It is such a joy to know we can get in touch with you and get Mom some loved flowers. Thanks.
Easy website use and excellent delivery and service. Flowers were beautiful.
I sent the flowers to my grandma, who said that it was "the most beautiful bouquet" that she had ever seen! Sounds like it was a hit. Thank you for continuing to provide excellent service.
We have known the Fertig family for 38 years and moved from Powell a couple years ago so knew that ordering from McGlathery's that everything would be done promptly and the plant would be beautiful. It was delivered the same day which is amazing. I love the ease of ordering on-line and appreciated the email letting me know it was delivered. They have been in business for more than 40 years and know their business and know quality and satisfaction and that keeps their long time customers coming back! Thanks Gene,Marla and family!
My cousin, who received the flowers, said they were just beautiful! It was very easy to order from the website and the delivery was on the day we wanted. Thank you so much!
Everything was wonderful and even thou it was short notice they got it delievered that same day. They have always done us a great job!
Find out the oldest and best flrsiot in the city where your mom lives. Call them and order your flowers and give them your credit card number. They will probably be the best flrsiot in town and will treat you fairly. Those national 1-800 flrsiots make money getting your order (they advertise a lot) then they turn the order over to a local flrsiot in your moms town ( the one they get the best price from) and you are paying everybody and two phone calls. and never get your moneys worth .
Bouquet was beautiful and seemed to be in really good shap.
I appreciate their prompt, same-day service and the quality of the basket delivered to my niece at college.
I have appreciated all the services of flower arrangements and deliveries by the BcGlathery's crew. My folks really appreciate the joy of flowers!! Thanks to everyone that makes the smile!!
Wouldn't buy flower's anywhere else, McGlathery's have always had the best flower's in this area. Strongly recomend there flower's last and are the best. Cal from C0dy.
I used "custom arrangement" to order my flowers. I believe that this gives the florist the option to use the freshest flowers that will be the longest lasting, and indeed they were. My mother raved about the beauty of the flowers, and that the flowers were very long lasting . . . much longer than flowers usually last.
The online ordering process went very smoothly, and I was able to send my friend a plant, which was delivered on time.
Great Mother's Day gift. Beautiful arrangement.
Great site. Quick and easy to find what I needed. The delivery outside of town was a big plus. Will definitely use the site again.
I had a great experience the customer service was great and I really enjoyed working with the owners. I have a true appreciation for small business owners.
My mother loved the chocolate arrangement! Thanks so much !
It is nice to be able to look at arrangements online before I order. In the past I have just called and taken my chances on what I got when ordering for people out of town. Now I can see what they are getting. Very nice.
My mom really likes flowers from McGlathery's!!!

Healthcare: The latest Rasmussen Reports finds that 52% of likely U.S. voters would like to see the Supreme court overturn Obama's health care law, while 38% disagree and would like to see the high court uphold the law's legality.
Presidential: Rasmussen's daily presidential tracking poll for today puts Romney ahead of Obama by 4 points, with Mitt Romney attracting 48% of the likely vote, versus Obama's 44% of likely support. Romney's leap in the polls now places the two candidates within one percentage point of each other, according to the adjusted Real Clear Politics averages.
Immigration: A Gallup report released Monday shows that Americans are much more positive about immigration now than in recent years. Currently, 66% say immigration is a "good thing" for the U.S. today, up from 59% last year and one percentage point off the high of 67% in 2006.
Economy: Gallup released a report today, finding that the Gallup Economic Confidence Index fell to -24 for the week ending June 17. This the third week in a row Gallup has recorded declines in confidence, and while Gallup often reports one or two week declines, this is the first time they have recorded a three week decline since last summer.

Our question — "Does physics admit a teleology?" — proves, first of all, to be incurably philosophical inasmuch as it has no meaning whatsoever for the physicist as such. By its very modus operandi, physics has eyes for quantity alone, which entails that teleology is distinctly beyond its ken.
This rather obvious fact may have become somewhat obscured with the advent of quantum physics inasmuch as the resultant quandary has at times tempted physicists to encroach upon philosophic turf. Yet, even though the new physics has relinquished the Newtonian premises, it is still committed to a world void of purpose — void of "telos" in the widest sense — for the simple reason that a teleology cannot be conceived in purely quantitative or "operational" terms. This does not however mean that physics excludes telos as something contradicting its laws, but simply that it transcends what the physicist as such can conceive. Now as before, what physics portrays is indeed "a dull affair" as Whitehead noted a century ago: still no more than "the hurrying of material, endlessly, meaninglessly." By its very modus operandi, this is in principle all that physics as such has to offer in regard to a Weltanschauung; the question whether "physics admits a teleology" proves thus to be incurably philosophical.
What will concern us above all is the universally acknowledged fact that this ultimate Reality constitutes not only the first cause, but the last end as well of all that exists. And although the various traditions may differ in their respective conceptions of that last end, the notion of a universal telos perceived as a "return to the Origin" — and thus as a certain "union" with the Ground of Being — appears to be common to all, be they of the East or of the West. Despite the fact, moreover, that the quest for the eschaton of man, the anthropos, has of course dominated these inquiries, the destiny of the cosmos at large has received its share of scrutiny as well: and that, clearly, is what we need presently to consider.
The heavens would not revolve unless they followed on the track of God or of his likeness. If God were not in all things, Nature would stop dead, not working and not wanting; for whether thou like it or no, whether thou know it or not, Nature is seeking, though obscurely, and tending towards God.1Meister Eckhart, C. de B. Evans, trans. (London: Watkins, 1925), vol. I, p. 115.
It should be noted, first of all, that the idea of Nature "seeking, though obscurely, and tending towards God" is by no means unprecedented in Christian tradition: has not St. Paul presented us with the reverse side of the same doctrine when he declares that "the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now"?2Rom. 9:22 Not only, therefore, is there a "return" of the universe to its Source — an apocatastasis as the Fathers have said — but it is that End, that telos itself that impels the cosmos to follow its trajectory.
But clearly: given that the modus operandi of physics deals exclusively with the quantitative dimensions of the cosmos, none of this has meaning for a physicist as such. And yet, if indeed Nature "groaneth and travaileth" seeking "rest in God" — if that is more than pious poetry — how could this fact not impact the actual laws of physics? There must consequently be a connection, a nexus of some kind between the aforesaid telos and the actual equations of motion — whether that relation be comprehensible to the physicist or not. And what is more: that "scientifically invisible" connection should be discernible from a metaphysical point of vantage: that is what we now propose to verify.
The problem, of course, is that the laws of physics, given as they are in mathematical terms, bear no reference to a telos — let alone to Pauline "travail" or Eckhartian "rejoicing"! It is hard to imagine, therefore, how one could possibly discover in these formulae a spoor of the aforesaid telos. And yet, from a metaphysical point of vantage one would expect some feature, some "mark" of the sought-after End to manifest in the mathematical formalism of physics itself.
Certainly there are other ways of deriving the classical equations; yet it appears that the principle of least action takes precedence over these: for one thing, as a science journalist points out,3Natalie Wolchover, "A Different Kind of Theory of Everything," The New Yorker, 19 February 2019. among all these ways — all workable, all useful — "only the principle of least action extends to the quantum world." Now, what relates that principle to the Eckhartian tenet is the fact that, inasmuch as the Reality underlying the cosmos transcends both space and time (and therefore undergoes no "action" at all), the best likeness or approximation to the metacosmic state a trajectory in configuration space is able to attain is none other than the path specified by the principle of least action itself. So far, therefore, from being void of implications for physics as such, the Eckhartian stipulation leads directly to what has long been deemed the most elegant derivation of the classical dynamics, which moreover proves to be the master-key to the laws of physics at large. It turns out that in addition to its purely physical significance, the principle of least action carries thus a teleological sense undetectable on the basis of physics per se. Little does the physics community surmise that this celebrated principle accords in truth with the "infantile" notion that the universe at large is indeed "seeking, though obscurely, and tending towards God"!

This is my entry for Ludum Dare #29 where the theme was 'Beneath the Surface', and the game is called 'Below Earth'. We decided to develop it further and create a post-compo version.
Below Earth is a top-down arcade game, not unlike BomberMan but still a lot different. It is about running around in a cave, throwing around bombs, destroying walls and killing enemies before they kill you. This is not always an easy task, as they will resort to tricks like throwing back your bombs or hiding underground.
The original Ludum Dare Entry is available from the Bitbucket downloads page.
Builds of future versions will be available there too, every now and then.
Either download a binary, or clone the repo and build the project from source yourself.
The project is being developed using LibGDX (1.2.0) and IntelliJ IDEA.
Basically you can fork the source code to fix features and implement bugs (or the other way round) as much as you like to. If it makes sense to include it you can make a pull request, and we will probably accept it.


First things first—move your guinea pig to a spare cage to keep him safe. You don't want your fragile pet around cleaning chemicals. Be sure to provide him with a bit of food and a hiding spot.
Remove the used bedding from your pig's main cage. Now, use hot water and a pet-safe soap—ask your Aurora, CO vet for a recommendation—to thoroughly clean the floor and walls of your pig's cage. Also take time to wash all cage items, like food dishes, toys, and huts.
Rinse your pig's cage out with fresh water, then allow it to air dry or towel it down. Put fresh bedding back in the cage and replace all of your guinea pig's essential items. Now, you're ready to re-introduce your pet to his freshly cleaned home!
Are you new to guinea pig ownership? Do you have further questions about caring for guinea pigs? Call your pet clinic Aurora, CO.

Receiver in $300M Gina Champion-Cain fraud case uncovers at least $12M to $14M in assets
Gina Champion-Cain and her companies are the target of an SEC case alleging they engaged in a $300 million fraudulent scheme.
(The San Diego Union-Tribune)
Receiver's first report to the court reveals a complex morass of businesses, restaurants and properties in a quest to identify funds that could eventually be returned to investors
A preliminary report by the receiver in the Gina Champion-Cain fraud case reveals a tangled web of more than 60 businesses and properties — many encumbered by debt and high payroll — plus dozens of bank accounts, leaving the enterprise with an initial value of $12 million to $14 million.
Court-appointed receiver Krista Freitag, however, cautioned that it so early in the investigative process that the financial assessment could change considerably as she unravels what could be even more business entities and possible third parties who might have aided Champion-Cain in her enterprise.
Freitag issued the report Thursday in connection with her continuing assessment of a now largely defunct business empire that was brought down by a liquor license loan scheme that the Securities and Exchange Commission says defrauded investors of $300 million. The SEC has charged Champion-Cain and her companies — American National Investments and its subsidiary ANI Development — with a "multi-year $300 million scheme" where instead of using investor money to make high-interest loans for individuals seeking alcohol licenses, she directed "significant amounts of investor funds" to a company she controlled.
In her report to the court, Freitag notes that while she was able to initially identify and take control of $1.8 million in cash, 33 commercial and residential properties, and 27 restaurant and retail operations, she has yet to confirm just how many investors are involved in the alcohol license loans. According to the SEC's Aug. 28 complaint, there are an estimated 50 investors involved in the alleged fraud.
Since taking over Sept. 3, Freitag said that she and her team "have diligently searched the records of the companies in receivership for a comprehensive list or database of investors and creditors. To date, no such comprehensive list or database has been found. Instead, we have compiled a list of investors and creditors from various sources."
Meanwhile, a number of those investors have already filed legal papers with the federal court in San Diego in an effort to protect what little money remains in the receivership. Specifically, they are objecting to Freitag's demand that $11 million in investor funds being held in a Chicago Title account be released. In her court filing Thursday, she reiterated the need to access those funds, which she says Chicago Title so far has refused to turn over. A magistrate judge last week recommended that Chicago Title release the funds.
Chicago Title, in a Thursday filing with the court, objected, as it has previously, to any move forcing it to release funds, arguing that "defendants do not own the funds in (the account), as the law is clear that stolen funds do not become the property of the thief and that a Receiver does not gain greater rights than those held by Defendants. As an escrow holder, Chicago Title cannot ignore disputes over the funds in its possession merely because the Receiver instructs it to do so."
As of Sept. 30, the receivership's ending bank balance was $1.65 million, according to the report.
Freitag acknowledges that while she is doing her best to reduce what will be considerable expenses in the short term, her work in returning funds to investors will be hampered without the Chicago Title funds.
"If the receivership estate continues to be deprived of cash as a result of the actions of Chicago Title, the Receiver will be forced to cease operations and simply liquidate assets in a matter of weeks," Freitag wrote. "This outcome would dramatically reduce the recoveries from receivership assets and therefore the amounts that would ultimately be available to distribute to investors and creditors."
Already closed in recent weeks are five retail venues and nine food and beverage establishments, Freitag reported. While Champion-Cain may not be a recognizable name to the general public, her group of Patio-branded eateries, from Pacific Beach to Mission Hills, are widely known.
Freitag's accounting of the preliminary $12 million to $14 million in net asset value represents those potentially recoverable assets for which she's been able to calculate a value, including such things as real estate, liquor licenses, and loans and investments. She notes, however, that she is not including the estimated value for eight commercial real properties, which include four restaurants that are now being operated by the Cohn Restaurant Group at the request of Freitag.
Because the restaurants — The Patio on Lamont, Surf Rider Pizza in Ocean Beach and La Mesa, and Saska's Steakhouse —have attracted "significant" interest from prospective buyers, Freitag says she believes there is value in allowing them to continue to operate. She also notes that three of the four eateries are in buildings owned by the Champion-Cain companies now in receivership, meaning only one requires rent to be paid to a landlord.
In an effort to cut costs, Freitag reports that she has reduced the original bi-weekly payroll of $550,000 for 350 employees (including 70 corporate-level staffers) to $200,000.
Complicating the receiver's work is the absence, she says, of conventional business documents and records. "The Receivership Entities generally do not have business plans, budgets or industry standard financials from which to work," she states in her report.
Attorney Sean Prosser, a former SEC enforcement lawyer who filed a lawsuit earlier this week against Champion-Cain on behalf of several investor clients, said he expects the next phase of the receiver's inquiry to become more challenging given the complexity of all the business entities in receivership, not to mention other entities yet to be revealed.
"There will be limited assets initially so you have to figure out when the money came in, where did it go and was it proper and can it be called out. That's the more difficult part of the receiver's job," Prosser said Friday in an interview. "It'll just take a while to figure that out. For instance, if she used it to pay rent, that may not be recoverable but if she transferred it to a friend, then it may be recoverable."
While the court order appointing Freitag as receiver stipulates that for now, no lawsuits can be filed against the entities currently in receivership, Prosser said that his lawsuit names as a defendant Champion-Cain and her former executive assistant, who would not be be covered by that prohibition. His suit seeks the recovery of nearly $4 million in loans made by his investor clients. While the receivership process can be expensive, it's important to have an objective inquiry early on, Prosser said.
He added, "The type of things we're looking at is, are there other responsible people? In our experience, these things don't happen in a vacuum, there isn't normally just one person who is responsible."
In a message to investors posted on a newly created website for the receivership, Freitag seeks to reassure interested parties that she is doing everything she can to recover funds.
"My primary focus throughout the receivership will be to maximize the value of the companies' assets and return as much money as possible to those who have suffered losses," she writes. "Second, investors and creditors will have the opportunity to submit their claims for losses suffered from their dealings with the companies in receivership and, in the event of a dispute, have their claims decided by the Court."

What's a buyer to do? Despite the threat of rising rates, tighter mortgage regulations and well-intentioned government intervention, the Greater Vancouver Area (GVA) real estate market continues to defy expectations.
Fraser Valley's HPI Benchmark Price — which measures the rate at which housing prices change over time — rose more than 15%, year-over-year, for single-family home in March 2018. The HPI Benchmark Price for all properties in Greater Vancouver (which includes: Whistler, Sunshine Coast, Squamish, West Vancouver, North Vancouver, Metro Vancouver, Burnaby, New Westminster, Richmond, Port Moody, Port Coquitlam, Coquitlam, Pitt Meadow, Maple Ridge and South Delta) rose more than 16% in the same period.
Yet, during the same time frame, Fraser Valley was reporting an almost 25% year-over-year decrease in sales and the GVA was reporting an almost 30% drop.
The fact that March 2018 was the "quietest" March for new home listings since 2009 and that total inventory across the Greater Vancouver Area is still below historical norms, means that property prices are probably not going to drop anytime soon.
What makes the top 5 neighbourhoods so great?
The No. 1 spot on this year's Vancouver neighbourhood ranking is Uptown New Westminster. The average home price in this neighbourhood in 2017 was less than $1-million ($996,903). Part of the reason for the slower appreciation in this neighbourhood is that it's a mixed-use community, meaning single-family homes share the street with older, low-rise apartment buildings as well as newer condo towers.
The overwhelming consensus by realtors who specialize in this community is that "Uptown New West is inner-city life without inner-city Vancouver prices." The community overlooks the Fraser River Quay and offers a multitude of festivals, as well as a popular farmer's market. In the summer and spring, many residents will head out to Westminster Pier Park, before sauntering down to Fraser River Discovery Centre. Commuters love the area because it's between two Skytrain stations and still offers relatively easy access to the Highway 1A, the TransCanada highway and Lougheed Highway, the three major arteries that take commuters into downtown Vancouver.
To rise from the No. 89 spot in 2017, to the No. 2 spot in the Where to Buy Now in Vancouver for 2018 rankings, is an astounding achievement. But ask anyone in this Port Coquitlam neighbourhood if they are surprised and you'll probably just get a smile and a small shake of the head. Over the last five years, massive price growth in Metro Vancouver meant that surrounding areas like Port Moody, Langley and Port Coquitlam also saw property prices rise. In 2017, getting into this neighbourhood meant paying almost 50% less than any other Port Coquitlam neighbourhood. The value was there, but no one appeared to see it.
Fast forward one year and it turns out buyers figured it out — and pounced. Average home prices are a bargain at just under $810,000 — 15% less than the surrounding area and more than 55% less than average home prices in Port Coquitlam. As a result, prices appreciated 8% in 2017. Over a five-year stretch property values have increased by more than 103%.
You'll find older-stock family homes in Birchland Manor. Many are on larger lots with basement entrances, where you enter the home and shed your wet and muddy layers before moving upstairs to the main living space. While the majority of homes in this community are single-family homes, the area is rapidly developing prompting more townhouse and condo complexes.
"The community is a great spot for those that want a retreat from the hustle and bustle of the city but still remain close to all the amenities and benefits of urban living," explains the Re/Max Results Realty Prince Team, who specialize in Port Coquitlam properties.
If your house search includes exceptional value and you don't mind driving an hour, each way, to commute to work then you really need to consider moving to Mission, B.C.
Homes in this community are 70% cheaper than Greater Vancouver average home prices. In 2017, you could buy a single-family home in Mission for less than $645,000 — and that's after a one-year price increase of 19%. No wonder Mission cracked our Where to Buy Now 2018 rankings, for the first time, in the No. 3 spot.
Situated on the north bank of the Fraser River and overlooking the City of Abbotsford, Mission appeals to those that like access to all that interior B.C. has to offer — snow sports, hunting, fishing, ATV sports, and many other outdoor activities — but want the amenities of city living.
If you do decide to house shop in this community, be prepared to see a lot of houses. The options can range across the board from newer, larger, more expensive builds to older homes that offer anywhere from two to five bedrooms (you can even break the bank and go for acreages but you'll need to fork out a few million for these properties).
Once again, Port Moody Centre is on our Where to Buy Now list, sitting in the No. 4 spot in the overall list (and the No. 3 spot in the outer suburbs in last year's ranking). No one is surprised.
While we've mentioned it before, it's worth mentioning again: the opening of the Port Moody Centre Skytrain, two years ago in 2016, really did accelerate the revitalization of this community. Before the update, the area boasted little more than an old, derelict railway station and a few industrial-type businesses. Now, there's a little bit for everyone. From single-family homes to new-build townhomes and condos to church-sponsored affordable housing, this neighbourhood is turning into one of the best examples of mixed-use communities in Greater Vancouver.
The best part? The homes are still $500,000 less, on average, than the average home price in Greater Vancouver (and slightly less than the average home price across Port Moody). Of course, the neighbourhood isn't a secret anymore — particularly after we first identified as a great spot to buy back in 2015 (where it held the No. 1 spot in our ranking), which means prices appreciated in 2017 by 19%. But Wong and other realtors that work the area still consider this a great neighbourhood to buy into as there appears to be more room for future appreciation.
Rounding out our 2018 overall Vancouver ranking in the No. 5 spot is another Port Coquitlam neighbourhood. In 2017, Mary Hill was way down the list, at No. 118, in part because there had not been a lot of momentum in property prices. Located on the far side of Coquitlam and south of the highway, Mary Hill is a community that's tucked away. Residents like it that way. Most of the housing stock in this community are detached home two-storey homes on large, flat lots, although buyers can find townhomes on the north side.
While property prices increased 18% over 2017, a buyer can still find a single-family home for less than $1-million in this neighbourhood — no small task in the super-expensive Lower Mainland real estate market. Realtors who specialize in Port Coquitlam also think there's more room for growth as developers start to update homes and redevelop land and more people look to find more affordable housing within the Lower Mainland.
We also ranked the best neighbourhoods in three regions — core, inner suburbs and outer. The core is the city's urban centre, with accessible transit and easy access to amenities. The inner suburbs are for people who don't mind trading a longer commute for better parking and a bigger lot size. And the outer region is for buyers who either don't need to commute downtown at all, or are willing to log some serious travel time in exchange for affordable prices and wide open spaces. Check out the map below to see how the regions break down.

Bentley's French Connection
Given the resurgence of the Bentley marque following its acquisition by Volkswagen Group in 1998, there has developed a keen interest in classic Bentleys. Despite the fact that W.O. Bentley only ever produced about 3,000 cars during the short life of his company, the world now seems to be knee-deep in classic Bentleys - many of which have very questionable provenance.
The 'real' classics are well known to any true Bentley aficionado, and global members of the Bentley Drivers Clubs, but surely one of the most fascinating, is the one-of-a-kind Embiricos Bentley.
Indeed there have even been replicas of this car, but there is only ONE true Embiricos Bentley and its story is fascinating.
During the racing heyday of the marque, Ettore Bugatti once described the huge, upright Bentleys which triumphed at Le Mans, 'British Racing Lorries' - such was his disdain for the big, brutish cars.
Aerodynamically-efficient they were not, and even after 1931 Bentley's new owner, Rolls-Royce, didn't seem much interested in producing anything that was remotely streamlined.
In the mid-1930s Rolls-Royce was approached by its sales rep in Paris, Walter Sleator, on behalf of Greek shipowner, and gentleman racer, André Maris Embiricos, who wanted a custom-built car.
Sleator convinced Rolls-Royce that a French designer, Georges Paulins, who had penned some aerodynamic shapes for Talbot Lago, could build a streamlined body on a 4 1/4 Derby Bentley chassis.
Derby Bentley
The British company sold the chassis, but wanted no part in the creation of the custom car. Paulins, who worked with coachbuilder Marcel Pourtout produced what many have said was the best-looking 'British' car to that time! It was completed in 1938.
Interestingly Embiricos used it as a road car for only a year, but tired of it, and in 1939 sold it to Mr. H.S.F. Hay, who raced it at Le Mans in 1949. Despite being mostly a road car, with 60,000 miles on it, the car finished 6th. Hay entered the car in the 24 Hour classic twice more, finishing 14th and 22nd. By then it had 120,000 miles on the odometer!
The secret to its performance was an increase in horsepower provided by the Derby factory, thanks to higher compression and bigger carburettors (lifting power from 125 to 142 hp), but it was the lightweight body crafted from Duralium which made the biggest contribution. Duralium is an age-hardened aluminium alloy.
Arturo & Deborah Keller
Hay sold the car in 1969, then after passing through several hands it was acquired by Arturo Keller, a lover of fine cars and a true self-made man who created and runs the Keller Wine Estate in Petaluma, California.
Bentley Motors would dearly love to own this true classic, but Arturo says he has no plans to sell it. He has loaned it to Bentley Motors on occasion, but it remains part of his private collection.
Probably the most fascinating fact about the Embiricos Bentley is that when tested in a wind tunnel in Bristol, England it's aerodynamic lines were found to produce a faster airflow backwards, than forwards!
Reminds me of the story about the streamlined Jaguar XJ-13, penned by aircraft designer Malcolm Sayer. It was an extremely slippery shape, but was so effective that at any speed over 160mph, it wanted to leave the ground and fly! This was well before we knew about wings, spoilers, and downforce on racing cars.
Despite the striking design of the Embiricos Bentley, the Rolls-Royce company was never adventurous enough to imitate the streamlined shape, but in 1952 conceded that its stylists could produce a more rakish coupe body on a Bentley chassis, and that model became the famous Bentley Continental R-type, another truly iconic Bentley.

Food Writer's Diary: Whatever happened to Tim Kelley?
Funny you wrote this, I was just thinking about the same thing a few weeks ago!
WOW. I used to work with Tim at Bouley. I was a very funny guy with great talent. I would love to get in contact with him. Tim if you are out there, give me a call. David D "Bulldog" Go to Pizzazzgourmet.com to get contact info.
Come on Tim! The whole world is clamoring to know what you're up to.
Well, okay, three people are, at least.
Make that four people very curios. I worked with Tim in Seattle. What a talent!
I also worked with Tim at the PT. These days I work in catering. I catered a party at the house of the guy who used to be the corporate executive chef for the Kimpton Group, which owned the PT. He's a friend of Tim's he told me that he was working as private chef for a family in NY, making six figures to cook for a handful of people every day. I can see how that'd be an advantage over making probably less to cook for hundreds of people every day.
"where the passion burns you from the inside." Nice turn of phrase, anonymous #3! I bet cooking for a rich family can keep those coals burning, too, and I hear it's nice to make six figures.
If Tim's happy, I'm happy.
Just stumbled upon this old post, as I was just wondering the exact same thing! I also worked with Tim at the PT in Seattle (as a consultant). I also spoke with him once briefly after he just left Zoe. At the time, he was private chefing for a well-known individual and his family in New York. Like everyone else, I was hoping he would return to the restaurant world one day! Brett, keep the search dogs looking, and I'll hope for a confirmed update one day soon!
In doing a search for his name and wondering the exact same thing as you all did, I too hope that Tim Kelley returns to the restaurant scene, although I can understand how much more stressful that would be than his current assignment. I met him when I was a journalist interviewing him for a potential story (15 years ago, I just realized), and his friendly demeanor and obvious talent were evident. I wish him well.
Check it out: Chef Tim is down here in Birmingham, AL today!!
Thanks for sharing your experience with us, I am a very funny guy with great talent. But what a mystery that young man is! I also worked with him during his Painted Table days in Seattle. He has fantastic taste in music as well as food. He's such fun. Wherever he is, I hope he's enjoying it.


Andie MacDowell and Chris O'Dowd are superb as a mother and son coping with grief in Russell Harbaugh's intimate, insightful indie drama.
Blending the intimate volatility of John Cassavetes with the elegant lyricism of Hou Hsiao-hsien, Russell Harbaugh crafts an alternately ugly and lovely — and altogether authentic — snapshot of the tumultuous process of grieving a lost loved one. Bolstered by superb lead turns from Chris O'Dowd and Andie MacDowell, as well as a formal structure that enhances the roiling emotions propelling its characters into a downward spiral, "Love After Love" is an assured debut feature that announces its writer-director as a formidable new American indie voice. In the wake of its Tribeca Film Festival premiere, it seems primed to attract enthusiastic theatrical — and award season — attention.
The narrative starts before the film's calamity, with Suzanne (MacDowell) and son Nicholas (O'Dowd) pondering the nature of true happiness, and how long it might last. The answer to the latter question is not very long at all, given that Suzanne's husband, greeting his family at an outdoor dinner with a raspy voice that suggests consuming cancer, is on death's doorstep. His demise is swift and yet not nearly fast enough to spare his family immense pain as they care for him during his final days, then shuffle through the weeks and months that follow, their sorrow piling up strain on their current — and newly developing — relationships.
For Nicholas, that entails splitting with his co-worker girlfriend Rebecca (Juliet Rylance of "The Knick") and getting engaged to the younger Emilie (Dree Hemingway); while for Suzanne, it means falling into the arms of first a colleague, and then a man named Michael (Matt Salinger) whose presence doesn't sit well with Nicholas. Through these ups and downs, Suzanne and Nicholas' own bond becomes increasingly fraught with tensions of a twisted sort, with Suzanne disapproving of Nicholas' new partner, and Nicholas growing increasingly angry at his mom's desire (and ability) to move on with a new beau — a dynamic that's laced with hints of romantic jealousy and quasi-incestuous bitterness.
As Nicholas free-falls into one romantically imprudent entanglement after another, his younger brother, Chris (James Adomian), copes with his dad's passing by drowning himself in booze and self-loathing, helping to form the lonely, miserable familial triangle at the film's center. Harbaugh dramatizes their descent into rage and despair via a narrative assembled as a series of snapshots, making it feel like we're intermittently dropping in on the characters. That approach mirrors Suzanne, Nicholas and Chris' disassociation from themselves and each other, and it proves an evocative means of locating them at key moments along their path toward some sort of resolution. Beautifully edited by Matthew C. Hart and John Magary (whose 2014 feature "The Mend" was co-conceived by Harbaugh), the film has an impressionistic spirit that's married to a keen eye for important details.
"Love After Love" finds truth in small gestures, from dad's momentary (but weighty) glance down at his cigarette, to Chris drunkenly relieving himself on in the coatroom during a party, to the look of powder-keg fury and misery barely kept at bay by a wan smile on Nicholas' face during a dinner with Suzanne and Michael. Comprised of jangly jazz, mournful piano and ramshackle rock tracks, David Shire's electric score is in tune with these confused souls' inner unrest. Meanwhile, Harbaugh and cinematographer Chris Teague's visuals marry intense closeups with medium shots that frame solitary figures in doorways — the film's signature composition, which piercingly speaks to their feelings of claustrophobia, isolation and anguish, and which feels indebted to the style of Taiwanese master Hou.
The film captures the disarray that loss often engenders in those left to soldier on, and ultimate credit for its success goes to the cast. In a role that develops from heartache to a stew of possessiveness and resentment to hopeful catharsis, MacDowell is transfixing, her turn all the more moving for being laced with a degree of unpleasantness. That's even truer of O'Dowd, whose Nicholas is for the most part an unrepentant prick, and yet made empathetic by the actor's refusal to reduce him to merely the sum of his actions; creeping around the edges of his eyes, you can sense the relatable cause of his each successive misstep. One need not dig too deeply to unearth the source of Chris' pain, however, as Adomian lays his sad-sack soul bare in a centerpiece standup routine during which — through awkward jokes about Jesus and God — he combats his darkness with amusingly raw, confessional comedy.

I'm trying to upgrade a 1.1.38 installation to 1.2.0. Using the install wizard goes fine until step 5, when binary paths are checked. I'm getting a "PHP did not return expected result" error on the PHP binary path. I have /usr/local/bin/php entered which is definitely correct. No errors are showing up in Apache's error log or Cacti's log. I'm running PHP 5.6.39 and Apache/2.4.37 (Unix).
Any idea how I can move forward?
Last edited by Comenius on Fri Jan 11, 2019 8:18 pm, edited 1 time in total.
That was a check that I put in to ensure that when Cacti runs a PHP file it runs as expected. If you are seeing that message it means that the returned result from running an external script was not purely the expected result.
Run the following SQL statement, then message me privately with the install-complete.log that will be generated when you next run through the installer.
It had previously been /bin/php under 1.1.38 which had run successfully for over a year.
With /usr/local/bin/php in the database I'm now getting a "File not found" error instead. Progress?
Would you still like me to run the commands from your previous message?
I made the database changes you requested and have the install-complete.log file but unfortunately it appears I don't yet have permissions to send a private message to you.
Is there some other way for me to get the log file to you?
Also, in case it matters, I'm running MariaDB 10.1.37.
Send the file to [email protected] and we'll take a look.
I just sent you the log file via email.
You should get 4 back. Also, check your apache error log for anything odd.
I don't have a cli_check.php file in my cacti/install directory, although there is a cli_test.php file.
No errors are presents in the Apache error log, just the entries from the last time Apache was started.
[Fri Jan 11 16:48:10.015387 2019] [:notice] [pid 24376:tid 140523359012736] ModSecurity for Apache/2.9.1 (http://www.modsecurity.org/) configured.

Did the response include the $ sign because that seems wrong?
$cmd = $path . ' -q ' . $config['base_path'] .
Then browse to http://<cacti>/install/test.php and post the results and check your apache/cacti error logs.
At the end of the day, I have to believe that the code is correct or we would have seen a lot of this issue. It's a basic installation check that occurs and it's not a complex one. It merely doubles multiples the input by itself and returns the result so the installation code can verify that execution of php files will work. It stops people from crippling cacti by pointing it at an invalid location of PHP.
Yes, the $ is just my command prompt. You can ignore it.
Here's the output of the test page.
This script is only meant to run at the command line.
Nothing is showing up in the Apache error log or the Cacti error log.
Is the output "This script is only meant to run at the command line." expected behavior when running test.php from a web browser?
Running the command from the test.php script from the command line does not show errors and produces the correct results.
Is that PHP check code new to 1.2.0, or was it also in 1.1.38?
Also... curious... What version of PHP are you using to test? Has the code been explicitly tested against PHP 5.6.39?
Sorry for the hassle... Very much appreciate your help!
Remove mod-security and restart Apache and problem solved.
Once you get the hang of it, you can write some mod-security rules for cacti. Not a priority for me for sure.
Unfortunately I've tried uninstalling ModSecurity and restarting Apache without any improvement.
In the install/cli_test.php file, can you separate out the three IF statements so we can identify which one is triggering that message. You should not be seeing that message at all.
Then run the test.php again and let me know which is the issue.

House Democrats Launch Investigation Into Trump's 'Remain In Mexico' Program
Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee announced that they are investigating the Trump administration's Migrant Protection Protocols initiative, calling into question the program's legality.
The House Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration and Citizenship delivered a letter to acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf on Tuesday, announcing its investigation into the administration's Migrant Protection Protocols program, more popularly referred to as "Remain in Mexico."
Democratic members trashed the "Remain in Mexico" program as dangerous and legally dubious, and demanded the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) hand over numerous documents and statistics so they can move forward with an investigation into its effects.
"We write to renew our objections to the 'Migrant Protection Protocols' (MPP), as we continue to question the policy's legality and remain deeply concerned about its impact on vulnerable populations," the Democrats wrote in the letter. "We strongly believe that MPP is a dangerously flawed policy that threatens the health and safety of legitimate asylum seekers — including women, children, and families — and should be abandoned."
The message was signed by Democratic New York Rep. Jerrold Nadler, the chairman of the Judiciary Committee, and Democratic California Rep. Zoe Lofgren, the chairwoman of the Subcommittee on Immigration and Citizenship. Six other Democrats on the subcommittee were also part of the announcement.
"The House Judiciary Committee has held hearings, sent oversight letters, and participated in a variety of staff-level briefings in which administration officials have been unable or unwilling to answer basic questions relating to MPP," the letter continued. "A comprehensive review of the policy, its implementation, and its impact on vulnerable populations is necessary."
First launched in January 2019, "Remain in Mexico" has been an instrumental tool for the Trump administration in its mission to control the southern border crisis.
Under the program, foreign nationals who reach the U.S.-Mexico border and claim asylum must wait in Mexico for the entire duration of their court proceedings. This mostly eliminates the possibility of "catch and release," where migrants are apprehended by Border Patrol, but due to the vast number of those in custody, they are quickly released into the interior of the country with the promise that they return on their court date.
There are roughly 50,000 foreign nationals currently under the "Remain in Mexico" program at the moment. A vast majority of them so far have not won their cases — proving Trump administration correct when they claim that many of their asylum claims are dubious.
Every senior administration official within DHS, along with Customs and Border Protection, has credited "Remain in Mexico" has having helped stem the border crisis and brining integrity back into the U.S. immigration system. However, Democrats and immigrant-rights groups have grown incensed at the program, saying it's forcing migrants to live in squalid and dangerous conditions in Mexico, a country that is not known for its security.
These lawmakers have long pressed the Trump administration on Remain in Mexico and its effects, but Tuesday marked the most dramatic move to scrutinize the program to date.
Democrats asked DHS for the following information: documents and correspondence about the program dating back to December 2018, the total number of people and families involved — including a demographic breakdown, the number of people placed and then removed from MPP, documents regarding tent courts erected for MPP hearings, and other pertinent documents.
Members of the committee have asked for this information by Jan. 30.

6 Men Who Dated *Much* Older Women Reveal What It's Really Like
"The sex is mind-blowing"
By Paisley Gilmour
Age gap relationships are something society seems to be obsessed with. But, often it's the younger woman/older man combo people are interested in. When it comes to younger men dating much older women, there's a whole different set of power dynamics at play.
Here, men who have dated much older women explain what it was really like.
1."I got tired of the mom jokes"
"Dated a lovely woman that was exactly twice my age. I was 25 and she was 50. She'd been through a terrible, abusive marriage, and had three grown children, two of which were older than me. Her ex and her kids treated her like shit, and unfortunately she let them. Together we made a life running a business together that was successful enough for us to afford two homes, three nice cars, and a boat. Eventually I realized that while I had a damn good life, I was not happy. Age is not just a number. It eventually gets to the point where you can see the huge difference. I got tired of the mom jokes and I was totally out of my element when her kids visited. I hated how they treated her and it became a source of contention for us.
"Sexually, we were great at first, but that changed quickly as she went through menopause. She was no longer interested in sex and I was a raging 30-year-old by then. We started sleeping apart because her back hurt. Things really started to fall apart when I realized I was taking care of her more and more, and I started to resent her for it. Eventually I realized that unless I left I would be miserable. I told her after 13 years together, that I thought it was time for us to part ways. One of the most difficult things I've ever done. She was totally devastated. Age matters a lot. Don't kid yourself and if you don't want to work amazingly hard at keeping it together don't start it." [via]
2."The sex is mind-blowing"
"My SO is nine years older than me. The main difference is finance and career. She has a career and makes six figures, whereas I make about 1/5 what she does and still am not successful in my career. The first thing I noticed about being with an older woman is that they know what they want in bed, so the sex is mind blowing. The negatives are that she has nine more years of life on me where she's had to figure her life out, but still expects me to be on her level. It can be frustrating." [via]
3."I have way more life experience"
"Wife is 10 years older than me. We've been married 14 years. Ironically, she's the naive one and I have way more life experience so it kind of balances out. We have a great marriage." [via]
4."There's never any drama"
"I'm 21, dating a woman 25 years older than me. We've been dating since I was 18, and I plan on proposing early next year. It's amazing. There's never any arguing or fights, never any jealousy. She's emotionally mature, so there's never any drama. If there's something we disagree on (which I can't even think of an example for), there's no contention. The emotional maturity is probably one of the most attractive things. She's more self conscious with the age difference than I am, but it's not a big deal for either of us (especially after three years). All of our friends are great and no one is judgmental.
Unfortunately, my parents were not so pleased with my decision to date an older woman, so my relationship with them has been... unstable for lack of a better word. But her family is great. She has children older than me, and children younger than me. That was a little weird at first, but nowadays I just view them as family. Sexually there's no issues. We have matching libidos. When we first started seeing each other it was sex 10 times a week, literally. But after the honeymoon phase, we settled to a comfortable three to four times a week. Overall, things are great. I couldn't be happier. [via]
5."Libido compatibility has been an issue"
"We've been together for about five years [and she's 15 years older than me]. She's fit and healthy and we match up well as far as maturity goes. Libido compatibility has been an issue, but that's less to do with age and more due to some mental health issues." [via]
6."It was a life affirming relationship"
"I dated a woman 12 years older than me for over two years. I was 26 and she was 38 when we met. It was an amazing, life affirming relationship with someone who truly loved me and I truly loved her.
"It just wouldn't work in the long run"
"However, it just wouldn't work out in the long run. In 10 years time she would have been 48 and I would have been 36, I would be in a prime of my life trying to motivate an older woman to act as young as I would be. If I were 42 when she was 48, there wouldn't be much difference to notice. Four to seven years is barely noticeable. I got with a 35-year-old at 29, and we will age pretty well together." [via]

The Future of Apartments Looks Like This
My micro ny
Adapt nyc
Micro apartments
We're running out of space, and we're running out of money—and for anyone who wants to live in a city (that's billions of humans), that's a problem. Here's a solution: micro apartments that squeeze full life into a tiny box.
What you see above is the winner of New York City's "adAPT NYC" competition, aimed at creating livable, humane, elegantly-designed apartments under 400-square feet (the current legal minimum).
The "My Micro NY" design, by nARCHITECTS, does just that—you can fit your whole existence into an apartment between 275 to 300 square feet using clever compartmentalization, folding furniture, and an eagle eye toward efficiency. According to an explanation from Mayor Bloomberg's office,
Each unit is comprised of two distinct zones: a 'toolbox' containing a kitchen, bathroom and storage and a 'canvas' providing ample, well-proportioned flexible space allowing for individual expression, and serving as the primary living and sleeping area. 'My Micro NY' unites a spectrum of scales ranging from efficiently designed kitchens to the organization of the apartments and common space, all in a simple yet iconic building.
The idea here mirrors what Gizmodo pal Graham Hill did with his own dwelling, but My Micro NY is going for scale. Next year, an entire building of micro-apartments will go up in Manhattan's Gramercy neighborhood, with prices that beat the hell out of anything that isn't the lice-infested upstairs storage room in a Chinese restaurant: $940 for a studio and around $1,700 for a two-person unit. Those are spectacular prices for New York City housing.
The Tiny Transforming Apartment That Packs Eight Rooms into 420 Square Feet
Living in New York City isn't all adventure and dynamism. Unless you are wealthy the way no…
But this is beyond New York. Experiments like Hills show that we can live happily and beautifully inside spaces that would've looked claustrophobic and horrible on paper. But with the right brains, square footage doesn't really mean anything. It's like standing inside an optical illusion. It's like standing inside a starship chamber. It's brilliant.
I want to try living in one of these right now, because this is what urbanism will look like in the next century. [NYC.gov]

Supreme Court Muddles Ten Commandments Debate
Plus: the Air Force Academy report, Billy in the city, and 'anti-Christian' Democrats.
Compiled by Rob Moll| April 13, 2006
This morning's breaking news e-mail from CNN illustrates the confusion surrounding the posting of the Ten Commandments on public property. "Following ruling barring Ten Commandments displays in courthouses, Supreme Court rules such displays are allowed at state capitols." The mistake is being repeated elsewhere, too. One would think that the Court took up the two cases—one from Texas, the other from Kentucky—in order to provide some clarity. If CNN and a host of other media outlets are any indication, the Court did anything but.
A lower court rejected that display, and the county tried again. "The new posting, entitled "The Foundations of American Law and Government Display," consists of nine framed documents of equal size. One sets out the Commandments explicitly identified as the "King James Version," quotes them at greater length, and explains that they have profoundly influenced the formation of Western legal thought and this nation."
But the lower court held, and the Supreme Court upheld, that the monument was religious rather than secular. "The counties' asserted educational goals crumbled upon an examination of this litigation's history. Affirming, the Sixth Circuit stressed that, under Stone [v. Graham], displaying the Commandments bespeaks a religious object unless they are integrated with a secular message. The Court saw no integration here because of a lack of a demonstrated analytical or historical connection between the Commandments and the other documents."
It's okay, when no one objects for a long time On the other hand, the Supreme Court upheld a lower court ruling which allowed a 6-foot Commandments monument to stay on the Texas state capitol grounds. The Fraternal Order of Eagles gave the monument ...
Launched in 1999, Christianity Today's Weblog was not just one of the first religion-oriented weblogs, but one of the first published by a media organization. (Hence its rather bland title.) Mostly compiled by then-online editor Ted Olsen, Weblog rounded up religion news and opinion pieces from publications around the world. As Christianity Today's website grew, it launched other blogs. Olsen took on management responsibilities, and the Weblog feature as such was mothballed. But CT's efforts to round up important news and opinion from around the web continues, especially on our Gleanings feature.
Ted Olsen is Christianity Today's editorial director. He wrote the magazine's Weblog—a collection of news and opinion articles from mainstream news sources around the world—from 1999 to 2006. In 2004, the magazine launched Weblog in Print, which looks for unexpected connections and trends in articles appearing in the mainstream press. The column was later renamed "Tidings" and ran until 2007.

Q: how to download gridview in excel in ASP.NET C #, ie How to use group by in datatable If I have a DataTable with the following layout:

Column1
Column2

First
Number1

First
Number2

Second
Number1

Second
Number2

Second
Number3

I need to download datatable in gridview in Excel to be like table here:

Column

First

Number1

Number2

Second

Number1

Number2

Number3

I've seen LINQ used a lot, but I'm new to this, so I'm not very good at LINQ.
Can you please help?
Code:
private DataTable QR (int ID)
{
    string conn = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["ConnectionString"].ConnectionString.ToString();

    SqlConnection sqlConnection = new SqlConnection(conn);
    string queryQ = @"some query here to take data from database";

    sqlConnection.Open();

    SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(queryQ, sqlConnection);
    cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@ID", ID);

    SqlDataReader dr = cmd.ExecuteReader();
    dataTableQ  = new DataTable();
    dataTableQ.Load(dr);

    // after that I'm little confused
    DataTable dtq = new DataTable();
    var l = new List<string>();
    var gg = dtq.Rows.Cast<DataRow>().GroupBy(r => (string)r["QT"]);

    foreach (var g in gg)
    {
        l.Add(g.Key);

        foreach (var r in g)
            l.Add((string)r["SubQT"]);
    }

    HttpContext.Current.Session["_dataTableForExportInExcel1"] = dtq;
    return dtq;
}

Thanks

A: Ugh, be prepared for an accident that makes a mess of your data with this "associated by position" idea
I wouldn't use LINQ for this either
var l = new List<string>();
string prev = null;
foreach(DataRow r in dt.Rows){
  var s = (string)r["Column1"];
  var t = (string)r["Column2"];

  if(s != prev){
    l.Add(s);
    prev = s;
  }
  l.Add(t);
}

Desperate for something that uses LINQ?
var l = new List<string>();
var gg = dt.Rows.Cast<DataRow>().GroupBy(r => (string)r["Column1"]);
foreach(var g in gg){
  l.Add(g.Key);
  foreach(var r in g)
    l.Add((string)r["Column2"]);
}

So you want the output as a datatable - add to a datatable instead of a list:
var l = new DataTable();
l.Columns.Add("X");
string prev = null;
foreach(DataRow r in dt.Rows){
  var s = (string)r["Column1"];
  var t = (string)r["Column2"];

  if(s != prev){
    l.Rows.Add(s);
    prev = s;
  }
  l.Rows.Add(t);
}

A: Well, you could process the grid out to a csv, or actually, I would suggest you do this on the table that drives, fills the gridview.
Say we have this:
        <asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" CssClass="table table-hover">
        </asp:GridView>

        <asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" OnClick="Button1_Click" Text="As Csv" Width="126px" />

Ok, our code to fill this grid view would be this:
  protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        if (!IsPostBack)
        {
            GridView1.DataSource = LoadGrid();
            GridView1.DataBind();
        }
    }

    DataTable LoadGrid()
    {
        DataTable dt = new DataTable();
        using (SqlCommand cmdSQL =
            new SqlCommand("SELECT City, HotelName from tblHotels ORDER BY City, HotelName",
            new SqlConnection(Properties.Settings.Default.TEST3)))
        {
            cmdSQL.Connection.Open();
            dt.Load(cmdSQL.ExecuteReader());
        }
        return dt;
    }

Ok, at this point out output is this:

so, we want to flatten to one column, group by City.
(really the same problem as your example).
So the button code is this:
   protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        DataTable dt = new DataTable();
        dt = LoadGrid();

        DataTable OutTable = new DataTable();
        OutTable.Columns.Add("C1", typeof(string));

        string strGroup = "";
        foreach (DataRow dRow in dt.Rows)
        {
            if (dRow[0].ToString() != strGroup)
            {
                strGroup = dRow[0].ToString();
                OutTable.Rows.Add(strGroup);
            }
            OutTable.Rows.Add(dRow[1].ToString());
        }

        Response.ClearContent();
        Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment;filename=mydata.csv");
        Response.Write(toCsvT(OutTable));
        Response.End();
    }

And the table to csv routine is this:
   public string toCsvT(DataTable dt)
    {
        string strCSV = "";
        string q = "\"";
        // csv heading
        foreach (DataColumn hCol in dt.Columns)
        {
            if (strCSV != "")
                strCSV += ",";
            strCSV += q + hCol.ColumnName + q;
        }
        strCSV += System.Environment.NewLine;

        // csv data
        foreach (DataRow dRow in dt.Rows)
        {
            string strOneRow = "";
            for (var i = 0; i <= dRow.Table.Columns.Count - 1; i++)
            {
                if (strOneRow != "")
                    strOneRow += ",";
                strOneRow += q + dRow[i] + q;
            }
            strCSV += strOneRow + System.Environment.NewLine;
        }
        return strCSV;
    }

So, we probably could have processed each row on the DataGrid, but it better to spend the time to create a table to csv routine - we can use that routine many other places.
So, I much suggest re-processing the table (data source) to the new required format.
However, you can use VERY much near the same code I used for the datatable, and use the datagrid rows as the data source (you would use .cells[0] and .cells1 from a DataGridItem (each row). But above I think is better.
This, when we click on the button, it downloads, and clicking on open, we get this:

Q: Couldn't match expected type `[Integer]' with actual type `Bool' I'm trying to iterate recursive over the list and checking if all the values are equal 0,
the error im getting is:
 * Couldn't match expected type `[Integer]' with actual type `Bool'
    * In the second argument of `(:)', namely `allZero s'
      In the expression: 0 : allZero s
      In an equation for `allZero': allZero (0 : s) = 0 : allZero s

and my code is:
allZero :: [Int] -> Bool
allZero (0:_) = True
allZero (0:s) = 0 : allZero s
allZero (_:s) = False;
allZero _ = False

I don't understand why im getting this error, in the line of allZero (0:s) = 0 : allZero s im giving it the correct parameter, a list 's'

A: I will try to explain the error and the solution. The solution should be:
allZero :: [Int] -> Bool
allZero [] = True
allZero (x:xs) = (x == 0) && (allZero xs)

Think of the two patterns. First, if there is no elements, all are 0, that has sense, that is the first pattern [].
 In the second pattern you ask if the first is 0 and you say that value && all the rest of the elements must be 0 (using recursion)
In your example:
allZero :: [Int] -> Bool
allZero (0:_) = True --Wrong, here you are saying if it start with 0, True, no matter what is next, and that's not correct
allZero (0:s) = 0 : allZero s -- this could be right along side with other patterns
allZero (_:s) = False -- this is wrong by sure, you are saying if a list has at list one element, False
allZero _ = False -- And this one has no sense among the others

You have a lot of patterns, and incorrect. You can change my first answer as the equivalent:
allZero :: [Int] -> Bool
allZero []     = True
allZero (0:xs) = (allZero xs)
allZero _      = False

A: The line:
allZero (0:s) = 0 : allZero s
does not make much sense, since 0 : allZero s means you are constructing a list, a list of numbers. But you want to return a Bool.
Furthermore the line:
allZero (0:_) = True
Is incorrect as well, since that means that means that every list that starts with 0 satisfies the functions. But in a list [0,1,4,2,5], not all numbers are 0.
We can check this with:
allZero (Num a, Eq a) => [a] -> Bool
allZero [] = True
allZero (0:s) = allZero s
allZero (_:_) = False
We can make use of all :: Foldable f => (a -> Bool) -> f a -> Bool and write this as:
allZero :: (Num a, Eq a, Foldable f) => f a -> Bool
allZero = all (0 ==)

>In this episode: Veteran educators from urban public schools unpack the promise and practice that has captured many imaginations.
After decades of experience in the NYC public school system, these three educators are hopeful that "Maker Education," the field's instantiation of the popular tinker movement re-constituted by the commercial Make Magazine and Maker Faire, holds promise for reforming aspects of how we teach and learn. Dr. Lou Lahanna, Lori Stahl-VanBrackle, and Iliana Villegas don't agree on every aspect of the present or future of Maker Ed, but together with thousands of educators nationally, are writing the playbook as they go. This conversation unpacks the specifics issues that educators face when working to infuse the values and methodology into their schools. The group cite examples of multi-disciplinary project work, and dig into the spaces where they happen.

Algae Biofuel
By A Moment of Science Staff
Researchers are working on ways to use algae to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels to power cars, trucks, and even airplanes. How?
Media Player Error
Update your browser or Flash plugin
Listen in Popup
If you're like many people, when you think of algae you picture the unsightly green film that forms on neglected swimming pools and fish tanks.
Scientists, however, have made some discoveries that might change the way you think about this common plant.
Researchers are working on ways to use algae to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels to power cars, trucks, and even airplanes. Algae has attracted attention because it is simple and economical to grow and carries fewer financial and environmental costs when compared to other alternatives.
Algae needs only water to grow, and can use fresh water, salt water, marshlands, and even wastewater for a habitat. The plant's highly-adapted photosynthesis process allows it to thrive anywhere that abundant sunshine can be found. And even sunshine is optional for this versatile plant because scientists have discovered ways to grow algae in the dark using sugar as a food source.
To use algae as a replacement for fossil fuels, oil is extracted from the plant and developed into a biofuel that can be burned in diesel engines. The yield produced from the algae has proven far greater than other biofuels currently being developed. For example, soy produces an average yield of fifty gallons of biofuel per acre per year. Canola, another common alternative, produces roughly 130 gallons of biofuel per acre per year. In contrast, scientists have found that algae can produce up to 4,000 gallons of biofuel per acre per year.
In addition, because algae can be grown on water rather than land and without fertilizers, it may prove to be a more efficient and environmentally sound alternative to the biofuels in use today. In the future, then, when you see algae you might think about more than just pond scum!

Please see the output and help me. Please ignore the link css command. I pasted the Css code over here. Any help would be great. Thanks.

A: No need to change the position property of the navbar from fixed to absolute, just leave the navbar position to sticky. Don't forget to set the top property.
#navbar {
 position: sticky;
 top: 0;
}

var loader;

function loaderFunction() {
  loader = setTimeout(showPage, 1000)
}

function showPage() {
  document.getElementById("loader").style.display = "none";
  document.getElementById("main").style.display = "block";
}

  // window.onscroll = function() {myFunction()};

  // var navbar = document.getElementById("navbar");
  // const sticky = navbar.offsetTop;

  // function myFunction() {
  //   if (window.pageYOffset >= 55) {
  //     document.getElementById("navbar").style.position = "fixed"
  //     document.getElementById("navbar").style.top = "0"

If you're like me, you happily handed over $10 to upgrade to Hazel 3. It's packed with new features, one of which caught my eye immediately: nested conditions.
Hold down the alt/option key. The plus (+) button will change to show ellipses (…).
Click on the ellipses button above where you want to create the nested condition.
Hold down the plus button for the condition above hwere [sic] you want to create the nested condition. While holding the button down, you will see an indicator and then a menu with extra options.
If this saves you a few minutes on your way to saving even more time with Hazel, great.
