As the elections have shown in recent years, the safe state strategy is a losing battle. The email from Gwen smacks of a sentiment akin to making due with what we have but if there is anything that the Greens and other left parties must grasp in these tumultuous times it is that what we have is not worth the trouble to... |
Let’s Start a Farm |
To those who have green thumbs and to those you just couldn’t give a damn (why are you reading this?) why not try growing a farm? Why not move away from growing pretty little flowers in pretty little rows and grow some freaking onions? Or even some radishes? Know what I’ve started? Chillies. The first moment you see th... |
“Thank the heavens unemployment hasn’t destroyed all my brain cells, by spending all day refreshing the front page of Reddit avoiding looking for a job and I am still able to following those little instructions that come at the back of the packet.” |
Then of course there is the joy and the feeling of self-fulfilment. Fulfilment because these little shots will be your children for the next few months, and (because you are basically alone and you are single) you will find yourself talking to these little shoots as if they are the loves of your life. You will find you... |
IMG_20140407_1[1] Just so you know I am actually taking this all very seriously. These are my children… |
I also have dabbled in the idea of growing my own radishes. I say my own; what I actually have come to realise is that they aren’t my own at all. Haha no, no. They belong to the slugs of the night. I merely provide those slow motion beasts with a banquet of baby leaves, fresh horse shit and beautiful soil. They must th... |
Their God, their provider of food and life. |
Or they must think I’m the moron who didn’t buy the slug pellets when she had a chance to save her radishes… |
Then again, they are snails. Who knows what they think besides “Shit, is that salt? Did I just slide through salt? Oh no my bad, I’m not melting that’s just my DISGUSTING SLIME!” |
Bible Question: |
I have a question about Jesus' statement, “ Take My yoke . . . for it is easy.” What does it mean? |
Bible Answer: |
The religious leaders of Jesus’ day had established a long list of spiritual duties for others to perform. Scripture reveals that the religious leaders did not keep all of their own rules even though they imposed them on the people. The list of duties was designed to prevent the Jewish people, the laymen, from violatin... |
But He said, “Woe to you lawyers as well! For you weigh men down with burdens hard to bear, while you yourselves will not even touch the burdens with one of your fingers. (NASB) Luke 11:46 |
God’s laws are not a burden. This is why Jesus said this, |
Jesus used two very important Greek words in this passage. They are translated as “weary” and “heavy-laden.” They are both present participle verbs. This means Jesus was describing someone who is constantly weary and constantly heavily burdened. It is clear that Jesus was speaking in a spiritual sense because He adds, ... |
Jesus’ burden is light. He asks us to believe in Him – trust Him. |

What have I gotten myself into? This is seriously rolling the dice and I don't know if I want to win or lose. I'm scared and stressed and in pain and it's hot and the world is mad place right now.

We're going to end up in an apocalypse. There's no avoiding it because I've seen the source and it is growing and furthermore we will get used to it and the word apocalypse will not be used to describe it.

Differences, Pros and Cons to Datagrid & MSFlexgrid |
I am curious about the Pro's and Con's of a DataGrid and a FlexGrid. What are the major differences? Why use one instead of the other? |
I don't mind links to sights, but I would prefer personal opinions as well. |
I will raise points to (100) for a clearly defined answer. |
1 Solution |
DataGrid is a bound-only control that shipped with VB since version 3 i think. FlexGrid is a customized stripped version of ComponentOne FlexGrid, although is also bound, you can use it unbound. The latter is better to use because is better programmed and has many other features than DataGrid does not. |
Also, over testing I found that the flexgrid is sometimes more responsive than the datagrid, has more control over the appareance of the cells and captions and more properties for you to fiddle with, and has better performance with large recordsets. |
I recommend you to use FlexGrid instead of the DataGrid. |
Datagrid, MSFlexgrid and MSHflexgrid are all data representation in tabular form. |
Datagrid (specific to vb6.0)needs Adodc control to bind data. Datagrid must be databound either at design time or at run time. |
MSFlexgrid is specific for vb5.0 which need not be databound at design or run time. You can load any values in tabular form using the col and row.text properties. Datagrid does not have these properties. |
MSHFlexGrid is specific to vb6.0 where dat can be bound at run time using recordset property of the grid. it can function like MSFlexgrid where any data not neccessarily from database can be displayed using text properties of row and col. A hierarchy can also be built up using child command object or shape functions. |
I want Just to add |
DataGrid is easier to use as End user can just Write inside cell |
Flex Needs some code to Create some entry control OVER a cell to simulate same operation |
U can then use TextMatrix(Row,Col) property to fill in Grid ( that doesnot fire RowColChange event ) |
Thaugh Headache of Using Flex I prefer to use it.....but with expert caution in data entry |
( Many problems in Lostfocus, gotfocus, ....events) |

Thank you for the answer. Thanks also to the others. While I appreciate the answer, it was explained clearly, I am not going to raise the points. It was very general with minimal detail. |

If Police Get A Little Rough With Terrorists, So What? |
July 1, 1986|By William Safire , New York Times |
LONDON — John Stalker was born with the perfect name for a policeman. The verb ''to stalk'' shares an Old English root with ''to steal,'' and means to creep stealthily in search of prey. |
In what may be Stalker's last case, the deputy chief constable of Manchester found himself on the trail of prey that his higher-ups did not want caught. The suspects were members of the elite security forces assigned to stop Irish terrorism; the potential crime being investigated was a secret policy of shooting to kill... |
No cop likes a ''shoofly,'' a policeman who keeps other police honest. But in two years, more than 30 shootings of suspects had taken place in Northern Ireland. A powerful article from Belfast in April 1985 by The New York Times reported angry denunciations of ''trigger-happy hit squads'' who blazed away and asked ques... |
Apparently he did his job too well. He followed the tracks of the shootings into the office of Sir John Hermon, Northern Ireland's top police officer, and reportedly found embarrassing shoot-to-kill connections to MI-5, the secret service. As a result, Stalker was taken off the case, his draft report suppressed; he is ... |
Does this sound familiar? Switch the locale to Israel from Ireland; substitute Avraham Shalom, head of the wild-running Shin Beth security force for Sir John Hermon, head of the constabulary corrupted by its zeal; cast Israel's former attorney general, Yitzhak Zamir -- fired for probing the police killings of two captu... |
The public reaction to these obvious cover-ups in both Great Britain and Israel is much the same. If the cops get rough with these animals, so what? If a little torture of a terrorist produces evidence that saves the lives of scores of schoolchildren, where is the sin? The probers, the shooflies, are considered the vil... |
Most politicians pander to that public reaction. In Jerusalem last week, Israel's president issued a pre-emptive pardon of security officials who may have broken the law; in Ulster, the whistle-blowing investigator is being reviled and the shoot-to-kill policymakers are being protected. |
The primary purpose of a national security force is to protect a nation's interests and values; that requires extraordinary discipline. When that discipline is breached -- whether by soldiers too eager to protect citizens' lives or by policy-makers who think they can shortcut democratic justice -- obedience to law must... |
All democracies have their Watergates; national strength is exhibited in the response to the suspicion of any abuse of power. The United States grudgingly paid its dues to discipline: A president was pardoned only after an investigation laid bare every offense, and associates went to jail; in the aftershock, the crimin... |
France failed the discipline test dismally in the Greenpeace felony- murder, confirming its government's amorality; the French national salute has become a shrug. Israel, in the crunch, is falling short: In the Shin Beth killings and the hiring of U.S. spies, some Israeli politicians resist the demands of discipline an... |
Now it's Britain's time of testing. ''Stalker as Prey'' runs one headline in the aroused British press; the security establishment is out to get this man before he gets them. We will soon see if the land that produced Magna Charta will tolerate the cover-up of a probe into the potential abuse of police power. Terrorist... |

Amazing Molecular Velcro |
Published: 09-30-2005 |
Source: JILA Scientific Communications |
Before magnesium is added (a), the majority of the RNA molecules are undocked and emit mostly green light when illuminated with a laser. After magnesium is added, the majority of the molecules are docked (b) and emit mostly red light. |
RNA molecules can perform amazing biological feats, including storing, transporting, and reading genetic blueprints as well as catalyzing chemical reactions inside living cells. To manage the latter feat, RNA molecules must rapidly fold into an exact three-dimensional (3D) shape. Understanding how RNA accomplishes this... |
The researchers tether small pieces of a large RNA molecule that contain one site critical to proper molecule folding to a glass cover slip. As shown in the figure of this RNA construct on the right, the critical site, called a tetraloop, can bond lightly, or dock, to a receptor region as part of the folding process. A... |
Nesbitt and his colleagues want to understand what makes molecular Velcro stickier as a means of understanding RNA folding. To do this, they study the process of docking and undocking by strategically labeling the tetraloop and its receptor with different dyes such that when the tetraloop is undocked, the RNA strand em... |
Recently the researchers studied how magnesium affects thousands of RNA constructs tethered to a single cover slip. By observing them one molecule at a time with an ultrasensitive microscope for periods of 10 to 30 seconds, they discovered that the docking rate increased 12-fold with increasing concentrations of magnes... |
In the future, Nesbitt and his colleagues plan to study other interacting regions of complete RNA molecules with the goal of understanding all the pieces of molecular Velcro that govern the folding of an entire particle. The researchers reported their findings in the July 17, 2005 issue of the Proceedings of the Nation... |

Quick Click: Vignettes from the Jewish News Archives. Feb. 19, 2015 |
grouchoGroucho Marx was a major Jewish movie and television star. Born in New York on Oct. 2, 1895, he made his debut onto the stage just before his 11th birthday. |
His career spanned film, television, Broadway and radio. Grouch, as his friends called him, was known for his unsurpassed, quick, biting wit and was recognized as one of the greatest comedians in the world. |
Groucho’s parents were immigrants. Groucho initially considered a career in medicine, but owing to the influence of his mother, Minna, who was drawn to the theater, he pursued comedy instead. |
Despite his success, Groucho never forgot his roots and used his sharp wit to combat the lunacy of bigotry. When his daughter was forbidden from swimming at a club that excluded Jews, Marx wrote the club president a highly publicized letter in which he said: “Since my little daughter is only half-Jewish, would it be al... |
When Groucho passed away in 1977, the Detroit Jewish News, as well as every major publication in America noted this event. |

Saturday Re-Design |
I'm running late and early at the same time today. Routine is something I avoided at all costs in my youth, but it's been a huge help to me in my middle years. I also think rejecting the traditional track of 9 to 5 made me a better writer and freer spirit. So it's a trade-off. These days I like having no job other than... |
Most Saturdays I've tried to post early. I know everybody in the blogosphere is DYING to get here first thing to read my ever-so-important opinions and observations. |
Ok... you don't have to laugh THAT HARD. |
Actually, it goes back to the routine thing. I love that my life is loose and easy to navigate most of the time simply because... it never really is. I have two little boys in my home three days a week (sometimes more). I have Max, Jeeves, the kittehs, Mo, and some guy with a funny accent. They are sort-of self-cleanin... |
So my normal Saturday wasn't. Only it sort of was. I got up earlier, posted later, and dropped a grumpy pug at Doggie Stylin' down town. (I'm not making that up... that's his grooming salon's name.) |
So life happens and plans change. One thing you can always count on? I'll never forget you! Bore you? Probably. Forget you? NEVER! |
1. That picture is KILLING me. Killing me. Look, I'm dead from the cuteness. |
2. Why did we never get the story about how he came to be running around town with an unsightly sharpie smiley? |
3. I lurve this picture...hahaha. |
