Thanks for the tip, Laurel!
Watch the video of Seth McFarlane talking to Bill Maher about "The Family Guy" episode.
I love Maher's line that Palin is the "queen of fake outrage." I've said the same thing, that she gloms onto whatever statement she thinks she can use to generate some sympathy and publicity. McFarlane also has a good line about Bush. Good stuff!

An ultimate smackdown
A few days ago, I wrote about Sarah Palin's (as well as her daughter Bristol's) objection to an episode of "The Family Guy," in which a character with Down syndrome appeared. The Palins felt that the writers were ridiculing people with Down's, including their son/brother, Trig. They called out the show and its writers on Palin's Facebook page, and although Seth McFarlane has remained silent on the matter, a statement was issued by the actress who voiced the character with Down's on the show.
My name is Andrea Fay Friedman. I was born with Down syndrome. I played the role of Ellen on the "Extra Large Medium" episode of Family Guy that was broadcast on Valentine's day. Although they gave me red hair on the show, I am really a blonde. I also wore a red wig for my role in " Smudge" but I was a blonde in "Life Goes On". I guess former Governor Palin does not have a sense of humor. I thought the line "I am the daughter of the former governor of Alaska" was very funny. I think the word is "sarcasm".
In my family we think laughing is good. My parents raised me to have a sense of humor and to live a normal life. My mother did not carry me around under her arm like a loaf of French bread the way former Governor Palin carries her son Trig around looking for sympathy and votes.
[snicker]
There was more from an interview with Ms. Friedman:
Q. When did you find out about the reaction that the episode elicited from Sarah Palin and her family?
A. [laughs] That I did not even know about until my mom told me, "You're on Channel 4!" And when I watched on Channel 4, on "Extra," and I saw Sarah Palin with her son Trig. I'm like, "I'm not Trig. This is my life." I was making fun of Sarah Palin, but not her son.
Q. Do you agree with what she and her daughter Bristol were saying, that the character and the jokes were insulting to people with Down syndrome?
A. It's not really an insult. I was doing my role, I'm an actor. I'm entitled to say something. It was really funny. I was laughing at it. I had a nice time doing voiceover. It was my first time doing a voiceover, and I had fun.
Did you see that part about how the actress actually has Down syndrome? That's kind of pertinent here.
You see, Ms. Friedman is out there making a living as an actress. She and her family have not let her Down's syndrome keep her from leading a productive and happy life. She also apparently has quite a sense of humor (I love the line about the loaf of French bread), and flat-out says that she was making fun of Palin herself, not her son with Down's. I'm thinking Palin could learn a lesson from this young lady.
This really is the ultimate smackdown, because if Palin stuck with her usual modus operandi of flogging a dead horse, she'd fire back another retort and not let the issue die the quick death it deserves (think of her continued argument with David Letterman after he apologized for his remarks concerning her daughter--which were about the one that really was knocked up, not the younger one). However, if she does that, she'll be arguing with a person with Down's...a person who is standing up for herself and the comedy show on which she appeared, and is doing quite well for herself. Palin's outrage at the perceived disrespect shown to those with Down's is null and void after a person with Down's herself said that she (Palin) has no sense of humor, doesn't get sarcasm, and uses her own son as a prop for sympathy and political gain.
Friedman may have Down's, but her remarks are nothing short of brilliant in their sheer shut-the-fuck-upness. A toast to you, Ms. Friedman!
I'll be curious to see if Palin is able to let this one go. She's certainly not known for letting go of grudges, as McCain's campaign staff can attest to. There have been no further statements about the "issue" on her Facebook page. She did make an appearance on O'Reilly's show (I don't know if it happened before or after Friedman's statement), in which they engaged in an orgy of mutual masturbation, O'Reilly feeding her paranoia and showing that he shares the missing sense of humor gene by saying that the episode was "pretty nasty" and calling Seth McFarlane a "hater." Palin showed disdain for "Fox Hollywood," I guess because they fall into that category of coastal elitists (East coast, West coast, it doesn't matter...none of them are "real Americans," anyway).
I'm sure that in the near future, Sarah will find other things about which to generate some self-righteous and self-promoting outrage, but maybe this time Palin's inner censor will make a rare appearance and it will

Palin vs a Cartoon
No lie. In her latest manufactured outrage incident, she takes on not David Letterman, not Rahm Emanuel, not even what she so cleverly calls the "lamestream media." This time she takes on the show "The Family Guy." You know...the animated series? The one without real people?
If you haven't heard about it, in the episode in question, there is a character with Down syndrome. Palin took offense at this, saying that it was making fun of her son, and was apparently so upset (it was a "kick in the gut," she said) that she couldn't think straight (*snort* Like that's new.) and had her daughter Bristol write something about it.
Insults directed at [my] youngest brother hurt too much for us to remain silent. People with special needs face challenges that many of us will never confront, and yet they are some of the kindest and most loving people you'll ever meet. As a culture shouldn't we be willing to say that some things just are not funny? If the writers of a particularly pathetic cartoon show thought they were being clever in mocking my brother and my family yesterday, they failed.
In the interest of thorough research, I found the episode online and watched it. Extra Large Medium was the title, if you'd care to check it out yourself. I know that some of these animated shows can be pretty extreme (I love "South Park"), but I have never watched "The Family Guy," although my friend Darren has said it is hilarious. For whatever reason, I just never got into watching it. I was curious to watch this episode, to see if Darren was right, and to see if Palin was justified in being offended. In my opinion, chalk one up for Darren and give Palin a big fat zero.
It was hilarious, and I laughed out loud at several points. As far as insulting people with Down syndrome, I didn't see that at all. In fact, it was more flattering, in that the teenage son has a crush on a girl at school, thinks she's beautiful and hot and wonderful, and gets up the courage to ask her out. And, oh yeah, she has Down syndrome. When they go on a date, he asks what her parents do, and she says her Dad is an accountant and her Mom is "the former governor of Alaska." (That's one of the parts at which I laughed out loud.) A-ha! Now I get it. Palin wasn't insulted so much because they were ridiculing her special needs son; she was insulted because they were ridiculing her. Hey Palin, remember that satire thingy that you thought was so funny and appropriate when you mistakenly thought Rush Limbaugh used it? [laughing]
As the episode goes on, the Down syndrome girl turns out to be a royal bitch, the teenage son is disappointed, and makes what I think is a very pertinent point. He tells her that he thought people like her were supposed to be special, but they aren't...they're just like the rest of us. In other words, they can be assholes, too.
I've maintained that for years. Being physically handicapped, intellectually disabled, a war veteran, terminally ill, or what have you, does not necessarily impart sainthood upon you. I've encountered some real jerks along the way who have had to deal with some of those things. To accept that they can be bitter, angry, moody—to accept that they can be assholes, too—seems to me to be more accepting of them as a part of the community, to not set them apart as something other than potential assholes, just like us. haha
I hesitate to try to see a broader meaning in everything I watch—sometimes it's just funny—but I thought this episode had a nice, subtle message. I saw no ridicule towards those with Down syndrome whatsoever in what they aired, only a dig at Palin herself. If she continues to be insulted by such things (and it was only one line in the entire episode), she's going to have a miserable life being in the public eye. Comedy, satire, cartoons...it's a part of life, and if you put yourself out there, you're going to be a target. Arguing with a cartoon just makes you look even more ridiculous.

I was pondering a bit today.
You've all been warned.
As I was reading various news items, and reading those that some of my Facebook friends posted, I was thinking about how I have gravitated towards like-minded individuals and how my political philosophy has changed over the years. I also have friends, as well as family, whose leanings are diametrically opposed to mine, and that's a good thing. Keeps me on my toes. Although I tend to be drawn to those who share my opinions (who isn't?), I do appreciate those people who are able to enjoy my writing without agreeing with the things I say. I can think of one person in particular who I had to stop reading (and then defriend on Facebook) because the writing just wasn't enjoyable anymore. Endless conspiracy theories, multiple Glenn Beck videos, and calling anyone who didn't believe the way they did deluded and stupid. I'll be the first to admit that I can be a mouthy little thing, and I'm sure I've called the sanity and/or intelligence of certain people into question here (not to mention any names, Sarah Palin), but I try not to be too shrill about it. I guess that was what finally made me stop reading the person I mentioned...it just got so damned shrill.
But I digress. I was thinking about being drawn to like-minded people, and since I'm friends on Facebook with a few people from high school, it made me think about getting from there to here. I'm not close to people from high school, and although my 30th reunion is coming up this year, I have no desire to go (I haven't been to one yet). There are a handful of people that I know I would enjoy seeing, and those are people that I know have the same feelings as I do about things. There are others that I suspect haven't strayed far from our small town, conservative, religious upbringing. I was friends for a while with a guy from high school, and noticed that his profile said "Republican." He apparently didn't care much for the things I posted, because he defriended me eventually. I wasn't hurt by this...I always thought he was kind of an asshole, which he proved by posting a shirtless picture of himself--I KNOW! Ewww!--and I actually found it funny.
I don't interact much with any of them on Facebook, and I don't know if they read this blog. The one person that I do often hear from and get comments from is even farther to the left than I am, and has friended a few of my friends! He wrote to me a while back and said that he was happy to see that someone felt similar to the way he does about things. It made me wonder about how and why we think the way we do, how and why we took the path that we did, when so many stuck with the familiar, the usual, the ingrained.
I'm sure that most of you know that Indiana is a very conservative state, in pretty much every way. It's different in the larger cities and the college towns, and for some reason, my own city and county leans to the left. But overall, it was a very typical Midwestern upbringing, religious and conservative. Early on, I had a liberal bent (much to my Dad's chagrin), and although I went through a more conservative period a while back, my liberal side came roaring back with a vengeance. I wonder why it is, despite being raised in a very conservative household and among conservative relatives, in a conservative state, that I went left when so many of my classmates went right?
Was it a matter of going off to college and being exposed to new ideas there? (Although even in high school, I was feeling leftist yearnings. haha) Was it moving away after college and being in a new environment, or after that, living in Indianapolis and encountering even more diversity? Was it being more curious than the average bear, being an avid reader, loving to visit different cities, being a fan of punk rock, being contrary...? What? Was it having a Dad who, although conservative and religious, spent his youth in the Army during WWII and was apparently a bit of a wild child himself? One of my favorite phrases in college (and I suppose it still is) was "Question Authority." I'm not some kind of violent protester or behind-the-scenes subversive, but I'm definitely the type who doesn't like being told that I have to do something, and when I hear that, I ask, "Why?" I want an explanation, and being told "Because that's how we've always done it" just doesn't cut it for me.
I really am puzzled by this. I haven't figured it out yet, either. For all intents and purposes, I should be far to the right of where I am, and should even be a very different person from who I am. I'm happy with who I am...but I really do wonder how I got here.
A sad day in Hoosierville
I was saddened and disappointed today to hear that one of my Senators, Evan Bayh, has decided not to run for re-election this year.
Senator Bayh has been a fixture in Indiana politics for many years, serving two terms as Governor, followed by two terms as Senator. He is seen as a moderate Democrat, fiscally conservative but socially liberal, and considered one of the "blue dog" Democrats in the Senate. A very liberal Democrat would have little chance in such a conservative state as Indiana, but he has always been well-liked and has served Indiana and the United States well. Some of my Democrat friends feel that he should have been more liberal; I feel that his presence as a Democrat was important, and on major issues like health care, he came through for helping all people, not just the well-off. He is also apparently a pretty good guy, and I've never heard a word about any improprieties or scandals.
So why is he not running again?
After all these years, my passion for service to my fellow citizens is undiminished, but my desire to do so by serving in Congress has waned. For some time, I have had a growing conviction that Congress is not operating as it should. There is too much partisanship and not enough progress — too much narrow ideology and not enough practical problem-solving. Even at a time of enormous challenge, the peoples' business is not being done.
Examples of this are legion, but two recent ones will suffice.
Two weeks ago, the Senate voted down a bipartisan commission to deal with one of the greatest threats facing our nation: our exploding deficits and debt. The measure would have passed, but seven members who had endorsed the idea instead voted "no" for short-term political reasons.
Just last week, a major piece of legislation to create jobs — the public's top priority — fell apart amid complaints from both the left and right.
All of this and much more has led me to believe that there are better ways to serve my fellow citizens, my beloved state, and our nation than continued service in Congress.
That's right. He's sick of the partisan politics in Congress. So sick of it that he wants out.
My feelings were a strange combination of disappointment that we're losing a good person in our government; disappointment in him that he didn't stay to fight for us all; and a complete understanding of why he is so frustrated and disgusted with what he is seeing lately. I don't know about you, but I'm pretty frustrated and disgusted, too. Bayh raises a great point, especially with the question of the debt commission (he has long been a proponent of being careful with our budget and cautioned against overspending): Republicans who previously endorsed such a commission actually voted against it. Yes, they voted against a commission that would address our national debt.
I'm sick of it, too, Evan.
For anyone who thinks that he dropped out of the Senate race because his seat was threatened, think again. He had double-digit leads against all comers, and he really is a fixture in Indiana politics. I think that he would have won re-election. I really believe that he has just had it with what he's seeing lately (and mentions that it is coming from both the left and the right) and can't stomach it anymore. I really do understand, because sometimes I find myself saying, "I swear, I'm moving to Canada!"
I have two questions. First, I want to know when our legislators are going to take notice and realize that we aren't voting them into office just to play these ridiculous games, to automatically gainsay whatever the opposition party wants to do; we vote them into office to actually do shit and work towards the betterment of our country and all of its citizens. This gridlock benefits no one, and it is seriously fucking up my country. Yes, you may be my legislator, but it is also my country.
Second question: Is there something fundamentally wrong with our legislative system that this can happen? That recent fuckaroo with Richard Shelby from Alabama blocking all of Obama's nominees until he got billions in federal aid for his state...that is absolutely ridiculous, and I'm glad that our President said basically to cut the bullshit, or he's going to bypass all y'all and make recess appointments. Shelby backed off. Washington seems to have become all about stopping the other side from getting things done, rather than enacting legislation that will help our country move forward and address a myriad of issues we are facing. This shortsightedness is becoming increasingly frustrating; I'm able to look to the future and see what might be, able to plan ahead, able to see what problems there might be and try to plan accordingly. Why can't our legislators do that?
I'm sad that the system has disillusioned a decent guy like Evan Bayh so much that he is getting out. But I do understand. I'm starting to think that getting out isn't such a bad idea, too.

I know this isn't a glacier. It isn't even an iceberg. It's mini icebergs, in the Tweed but it's the closest I can get.
Ah I was all fired up to write this post, but now I've labrynthitis, sinusitis and a temperature and everything's a bit meh. Then again, that's probably as good a time as any.
The received wisdom about indie publishing is that if you want to earn money you need to write lots and lots of books. Fast. Or you have to be all over the internet like a rash, but a good rash; a warm snuggley comfort blanket, perhaps, rather than a rash. But you have to be there, working on your soft sell marketing techniques 24/7 so that your book sales soar. Alas, it looks like this is true and it's only the people with the kind of sales skills that Satan, himself would envy and also time, and lots of it, who make a living from self publishing fiction. And the reason that makes me feel a bit meh?
Well, I am a stay at home mum. I will never have the kind of time required to make it out of the self published pond slime. And if I had the remotest skill at selling anything, I'd have scored myself a trad deal by now because the way forward is hybrid. Even though I am cynical and old enough to know that life is never fair, I am pissed off that indie publishing is not the level playing field I hoped. Hence the meh.
The basic gist of his post was that it takes as long as it takes. And I know he's right, or I wouldn't have started on this writing malarky. I want to do it, I have to do it and if I can only do it at a speed that makes glaciers look fast so be it. Sure my 'overnight' may be 50 years but it's better than looking back and thinking 'what if?' than never having tried at all. Nine years on, I'm sitting here with 4 books under my belt (although I did make my first attempt at the first one when I was 20). I sell less and less of the two that are published each month but I can't help living in hope. Such is the hopeless optimism of the artist!
Commenting on another post on Chuck Wendig's blog I encountered two other stay at home Mums who felt exactly the same way as I did. I got chatting on twitter with one of them, Megan Haskell and we came up with the idea of #slowwriters. A support group for people who are ideas rich and time poor, or for people who take a long time to write a book — because not everyone can churn out a book in a month. Sometimes, quality cannot be rushed.
So, if you're gnashing your teeth with frustration as the snails and tortoises disappear over the horizon, if you sometimes think that there may be fossils that are formed in less time that it takes you to write a book, take heart. Here's how Megan described #slowwriters — because she does it much better than I can.
Or that, as Chuck Wendig put it, 'it takes as long as it takes'.
If you are a writer with other commitments, duties, things you cannot put aside that mean your writing only happens slowly you might feel this way too. Would you be interested in taking part in a group like that?
Because I am really grown up and a very grown up and mature mother and because I can: my lad, as the Baldy Man (that's my hair).


The NCAA is about to get hit hard on the legal front.
Various reports detail that over 200 concerning football-related concussion lawsuits are currently in the process of being filed against the NCAA.
Allegations surrounding the lawsuits suggest that the NCAA knew about the concussion dangers in football but did not properly warn players about the health risks of playing the game.
Those sentiments are echoed by hundreds.
While we can hope that these lawsuits will hand out some kind of justice for collegiate football players (who put their bodies on the line each and every week on the gridiron), the impending case is likely to take quite a bit of time.
It's a shame for the game of football, but history has shown the NCAA is capable of wriggling out of any tight corner they find themselves in. This, however, is unlikely to end in their favor despite the burden of the evidence being on the players.


Face to face instruction is 8 hours.

Q: Missing understanding on Javascript function I have a generic MVC aspnetcore setup, that pulls data from a local DB that is full with all USA zip codes, the state and city  they are associated with. I am trying to pull back suggestion after say 3 digits are put in for what state they should be inferring and then to fill in the missing city after 5 digits are placed in the textbox.
The issue that is baffling me is that within the javascript function data has the returned information. But that information is lost once the scope has left the function and also trying to set the value of another textbox to any of that information fails.
My view
@section Scripts{

}

        <input id="Zip" asp-for="Zip" class="form-control" onkeyup="loadData()"/>

My javascript file
function loadData() {
     var str = $("#Zip").val();
     if (str.length == 3){
        $.get("/Localities/OnChange", { id: str }, function (data) {
            $("#Code").val(data.code);
        });
    }
    if (str.length == 5) {
        $.get("/Localities/OnChange", { id: str }, function (data) {
            $("#Boroughs").val(data.boroughs);
            $("#City").val(data.city);
            $("#Code").val(data.code);
            $("#Country").val(data.country);
            $("#County").val(data.county);
            var temp = data.city;
        });
    }
}

My controller
 [HttpGet]
    public Localities OnChange(string id)
    {
        Localities temp = _context.Localities.FirstOrDefault(x => x.Zip.StartsWith(id));
        var temp2 = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(temp);
        return temp;
    }

A: There is few potential issues here:
1) In this code here:
function loadData() {
     var str = $("#Zip").val();
     if (str.length == 3){
        $.get("/Localities/OnChange", { id: str }, function (data) {
            $("#Code").val(data.code);
        });
    }
    if (str.length == 5) {
        $.get("/Localities/OnChange", { id: str }, function (data) {
            $("#Boroughs").val(data.boroughs);
            $("#City").val(data.city);
            $("#Code").val(data.code);
            $("#Country").val(data.country);
            $("#County").val(data.county);
            var temp = data.city;
        });
    }
}

var temp in second GET will only be available with in the function that is in now.
Second which is most likely why your code is not showing data is because it is most likely
data.data.city and data.data.code and so on
if you do
console.log(data);
I am pretty sure it is nested with in another data wrapper.
Let me know
I would change function variable to function(response) so you are note confused by the level you are at.
This should work or at least give you a better idea of what is broken:
var temp; // Global

function loadData() {
         var str = $("#Zip").val();
         if (str.length == 3){
            $.get("/Localities/OnChange", { id: str }, function (response) {
                $("#Code").val(response.data.code);
            });
        }
        if (str.length == 5) {
            $.get("/Localities/OnChange", { id: str }, function (response) {
                $("#Boroughs").val(response.data.boroughs);
                $("#City").val(response.data.city);
                $("#Code").val(response.data.code);
                $("#Country").val(response.data.country);
                $("#County").val(response.data.county);
                temp = response.data.city;
            });
        }
    }

Also check your console for any other errors, that may be preventing the code from executing.
CHECK THIS:
Right click element and grab ID
<input type="text" id="#city">

this ID might be different than you are expecting it to be after render

Psyche. Zeitschrift für Psychoanalyse und ihr Anwendungen (Psyche: A Journal for Psychoanalysis and Its Applications) is the most important and most widely distributed German-language psychoanalytic journal. Seven thousand copies of it are printed every month.
Founded in 1947 by Hans Kunz, Alexander Mitscherlich, and Felix Schottlaender, it first appeared with the subtitle Jahrbuch für Tiefenpsychologie und Menschenkunde in Forschung und Praxis (Yearbook for Research and Practice in Depth Psychology and the Human Sciences). It adopted its current name in 1966, thus leaving no doubt about its Freudian orientation.
In the beginning Psyche represented a mixture of the teachings of Carl G. Jung, Sigmund Freud, Alfred Adler, and the neoanalysis of Harald Schultz-Hencke. This eclecticism, which escaped the attention of the first editors, was a hangover from the period when National Socialism grouped together the most diverse therapeutic schools in the Deutsches Institut für psychologische Forschung und Psychotherapie (German Institute for Psychological Research and Psychotherapy). In the 1950s Mitscherlich managed to acquire contributions from emigrant Freudian authors like Michael Balint, Erik H. Erikson, Heinz Hartmann, and Edith Jacobson, thus establishing a Freudian tradition that still characterizes the journal in 2005.
From its first decades up until the early 1970s, the journal aimed primarily to repromote knowledge of Freudian psychoanalysis, which had been destroyed or brushed aside in Germany by National Socialism, and to raise the scientific level of German psychoanalysis to that of international standards. Moreover, its editor Alexander Mitscherlich (who worked alone after 1968) sought from the beginning to relate psychoanalytic questions to social and cultural questions and to give the periodical the interdisciplinary orientation that has become its hallmark. Problems raised by Freud's theory of culture were always given priority treatment, although not to the detriment of the theoretical and clinical aspects of psychoanalysis.
In the 1970s and 1980s the journal opened its pages to discussion of the tense relations between psychoanalysis and feminism, and to the prickly question of to what degree and with what consequences the German psychoanalysts who did not emigrate between 1933 and 1945 had compromised themselves in National Socialist health policy. This question, which relates to the historical and moral complicity of German psychoanalysts, was the subject of an intense several-year controversy between the editors of the review and representatives of the German psychoanalytic societies. This controversy showed Psyche for what it really was: a journal that never considered itself merely a mouthpiece for the German psychoanalytic community.
After the death of Alexander Mitscherlich in 1982, the new editors—Margarete Mitscherlich, Helmut Dahmer, and Lutz Rosenkötter—continued the well-tried editorial policy of the journal. Since 1990 Margarete Mitscherlich has been the sole editor.

Govt to boost port infrastructure
MRPL to procure crude oil from ONGC
Mormugao Port takes steps to attract diversified cargoes
Web Exclusive / Aug 2013
The Union government intends to boost investment in port infrastructure. By allowing port operators to tweak freight handling tariff for new public- private partnerships projects in the 12 government-owned ports. It's a clarion call for more investment in port infrastructure. The government's new guidelines for future port projects will allow port operators to annually increase, upto a set limit, cargo handling rates, on the basis of market forces.
But for existing port-operators who could potentially invest in future projects too, the problem has not been solved. Rates at existing terminals are still decided and capped by the Tariff Authority For Major Ports (TAMP), a structure which puts operators at a disadvantage against private or state-owned ports, where no such restrictions apply.
Henrik Lundgaard Pedersen, CEO - Asia Pacific, APM Terminals says that their current investments are in a squeeze. The firm had to cut its tariffs by 44 per cent last year after an order by the regulator. Now port-operators have been lobbying for long to move to a market-driven tariff model in existing projects that includes doing away with TAMP.
While changing TAMP's role to monitoring performance under the new guidelines, the government says a complete revamp will take time as it requires changes in the existing law. While critics question the prospective nature of the new policy, the government assures that the next phase of de-regulation will look at a similar tariff model for existing port projects. In the meantime, it is confident future investors will be interested.

            EMPLOYEE CODE
            EMPLOYEE NAME
            ATTENDANCE

I am filling the table using jQuery and it is properly filled:
$(document).ready(function () {
        $("#DDLDepartment").click(function () {

        $("#Emp_Deptartment").val($("#DDLDepartment option:selected").text());
        $("#Emp_Dept_Id").val($("#DDLDepartment option:selected").val());

       $('#attend table tr:not(:first)').remove();
        var deptid = parseInt($('#DDLDepartment').val());
        console.log(deptid);
        if ($('#DDLDepartment').val() != "--SELECT DEPARTMENT--") {

            $.ajax({
                url: "@Url.Action("GetEMPDetails", "Employee")",
                type: "GET",
                data: { DeptId: deptid },
                dataType: "json",
                contentType: "application/json",
                processdata: true,
                success: function (data) {
                    var dropdown = $('#DDLStatus').clone();
                    $.each(data, function (i, empdetail) {
                        console.log(empdetail);
                        $('#attend table').append("
" + empdetail.Employee_Code + "	" + empdetail.Employee_Name + "	" + "" + "
");
                        $('.abc').html(dropdown);

                        //$("#Emp_Official_Id").val(empdetail.Employee_Official_Id);

                    });

                },

            });
        }
        else {
            alert(" PLEASE SELECT VALID DEPARTMENT ")
        }

});
});

In My controller
public ActionResult InsertEmpAttendanceAction(TblEmpAttendance empattendanceobj, **ICollection<TblEmpAttendance> attendance**)// here i was stuck as it returns null
        {

}

A: You not currently creating any form controls relating to TblEmpAttendance, just a one <select> for each row in you table with name="DDLStatus" (which is also generating invalid html because of the duplicate id attributes).  The easy way to handle this is by returning a partial view rather than a JsonResult from your GetEMPDetails() method.
First you need to start by defining view models that represent what you are displaying/editing in the view (refer What is ViewModel in MVC?)
public class EmployeeVM
{
  public int ID { get; set; }
  public sting Code { get; set; }
  public string Name { get; set; }
  [Required(ErrorMessage = "Please select the status")]
  public int StatusID { get; set; }
}
public class AttendanceVM
{
  [Display(Name = "Department")]
  [Required(ErrorMessage = "Please select a department")]
  public int DepartmentID { get; set; }
  public DateTime Date { get; set; }
  .... // add other properties, for example for employee type etc, but its unclear how these are used in the view
  public List<EmployeeVM> Employees { get; set; }
  public SelectList StatusList { get; set; }
  public SelectList DepartmentList { get; set; }
}

Next create an EditorTemplate for type of EmployeeVM. In /Views/Shared/EditorTemplates/EmployeeVM.cshtml
@model yourAssembly.EmployeeVM

  @Html.DisplayFor(m => m.Code)
  @Html.DisplayFor(m => m.Name)

    @Html.HiddenFor(m => m.ID)
    @Html.DropDownListFor(m => m.StatusID, (SelectList)ViewData["statuslist"], "-Please select-")

Then create a partial view to display the selected employees (say _EmployeeDetails.cshtml)
@model yourAssembly.AttendanceVM
@Html.EditorFor(m => m.Employees, new { statuslist = Model.StatusList })

And the main view will be
@model yourAssembly.AttendanceVM
@using (Html.BeginForm())
{
  @Html.LabelFor(m => m.DepartmentID)
  @Html.DropDownListFor(m => m.DepartmentID, Model.DepartmentList, "-Please select-")
  @Html.ValidationMessageFor(m => m.DepartmentID)
  @Html.LabelFor(m => m.Date)
  @Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.Date, "{0:d}")
  @Html.ValidationMessageFor(m => m.Date)
  // .... controls for other properties

        Code
        Name
        Attendance

}

And modify your script to
var url = '@Url.Action("GetEmployeeDetails", "Employee")';
var table = $('#employees');
var form = $('form');
$('#DepartmentID').change(function() {
  if (!$(this).val() {
    return;
  }
  $.get(url, { ID: $(this).val() }, function(data) {
    table.html(data);
    // Reparse the validator
    form.data('validator', null);
    $.validator.unobtrusive.parse(form);
  });
});

Finally your controller methods
public ActionResult Index()
{
  AttendanceVM model = new AttendanceVM();
  ... // populate SelectList's, set default values for properties etc.
  return View(model);
}
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Index(AttendanceVM model)
{
  if (!ModelState.IsValid)
  {
    ... // repopulate SelectList's
    returnView (model);
  }
  // Get the employees data models from the database based on model.DepartmentID
  var employees = db.TblEmpAttendance.Where(e => e.Emp_Dept_Id == model.DepartmentID);
  // Update each one based on the view model data
  foreach (var item in Model.Employee)
  {
    var employee = employees.Where(e => e.Emp_Attendance_Id == item.ID).FirstOrDefault();
    employee.Status_Id = item.StatusID;
    ....
  }
  // save each data model and redirect
}
public PartialViewResult GetEmployeeDetails(int ID)
{
  AttendanceVM model = new AttendanceVM();
  ... // populate collection of employees based on the department ID
  ... // populate SelectList for StatusList
  return PartialView("_EmployeeDetails", model);
}

To understand why this will bind to you model when you post, look at the html it generates for the controls, for example the dropdownlist for employees will be
<select name="Employees[0].StatusID" ...>
<select name="Employees[1].StatusID" ...>
<select name="Employees[2].StatusID" ...>

The name attributes not relate to you model - your model contains a collection property named Employees and each employee (defined by the index) has a property named StatusID
Side note: I strongly recommend follow normal conventions for your class and property names

Jean Guérard, from the french national aerospace research centre ONERA, is requesting to all who as the opportunity, please, to record the last telemetry frames of the bird launched in May 2017 by the polytechnic school (in Palaiseau, France). X-Cubesat is expected to decay around Mon, 04/02/2019 10:58:00 +/- 7 hours UTC (these predictions are provided by Joseph Remis, expert in satellite reentry predictions from the International Astronomical Center). The frequency is 437.020 MHz (measured here 437.01792), modulation AFSK 1k2, mode AX25. Warning, the fresh tle are already not too good, but anyways... Please, send information directly to Jean Guérard, jean.guerard(a)saf-astronomie.fr Many thanks my friends, have a good Sunday, 73 ! Jean-Pierre F5YG
ARISS News Release No. 19-02
by n4csitwo@bellsouth.net 02 Feb '19
ARISS News Release No. 19-02 Dave Jordan, AA4KN ARISS PR aa4kn(a)amsat.org Announcing ARISS/NOTA Slow Scan TV Event Feb 2, 2019: ARISS is planning another of their popular Slow Scan Television (SSTV) experiment events. Transmissions are scheduled to begin Friday, Feb. 8 at 18:25 UTC and run through Sunday, Feb. 10 at 18:30 UTC. SSTV operations is a process by which images are sent from the International Space Station (ISS) via ham radio and received by ham operators, shortwave listeners and other radio enthusiasts on Earth, similar to pictures shared on cell phones using twitter or instagram. When this event becomes active, SSTV images will be transmitted from the ISS at the frequency of 145.80 MHz using the SSTV mode of PD120 and can be received using ham radio equipment as simple as a 2 meter handheld radio or a common shortwave or scanner receiver the covers the 2 meter ham band. After connecting the audio output of the radio receiver to the audio input of a computer running free software such as MMSSTV, the SSTV images can be displayed. Transmissions will consist of eight NASA On The Air (NOTA) images (see https://nasaontheair.wordpress.com/). In additional, four ARISS commemorative images will also be included. Once received, Images can be posted and viewed by the public at http://www.spaceflightsoftware.com/ARISS_SSTV/index.php . In addition, you can receive a special SSTV ARISS Award for posting your image. Once the event begins, see details at https://ariss.pzk.org.pl/sstv/ . Please note that the event is dependent on other activities, schedules and crew responsibilities on the ISS and are subject to change at any time. Please check for news and the most current information on the AMSAT.org and ARISS.org websites, the AMSAT-BB(a)amsat.org, the ARISS facebook at Amateur Radio On The International Space Station (ARISS) and ARISS twitter @ARISS_status. About ARISS Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) is a cooperative venture of international amateur radio societies and the space agencies that support the International Space Station (ISS). In the United States, sponsors are the Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation (AMSAT), the American Radio Relay League (ARRL), the Center for the Advancement of Science in space (CASIS) and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The primary goal of ARISS is to promote exploration of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) topics by organizing scheduled contacts via amateur radio between crew members aboard the ISS and students in classrooms or public forms. Before and during these radio contacts, students, educators, parents, and communities learn about space, space technologies, and amateur radio. For more information, see www.ariss.org.

Re: [amsat-bb] SatPC32 and Ham Radio Deluxe
Mike, I don't see any times listed for the Amsat tracking. I think the problem is people are saying that HRD "lags" (ie, the track is correct, but several seconds/minutes behind). Regardless of if that is true or not, what I would suggest to verify HRD's tracking is to open two windows, one with AO-91 or 92 in HRD (realtime, during an actual pass), and one with Amsat Argentina's website: http://amsat.org.ar/pass.htm Be sure to enter your correct grid square and select the correct satellite, and it will tell you current Az/El and doppler frequencies for Uplink and Downlink.

FM radio suggestions?
by Ron VE8RT 02 Feb '19
GM, I have a friend in an isolated community working on passing their Canadian Basic Amateur Radio Licence. If they pass with honours they'll have access to the HF bands, otherwise they're restricted to VHF and up. To start them off I was going to suggest getting on the FM satellites. I would also like to upgrade my satellite gear to include digital capability and thought I'd look into getting a second of the same radio, easier to mentor them at a distance if we're using the same gear. The model of interest is the FT-8900R and I'm open to suggestions. And I was thinking of ordering a printed copy of Getting Started on Amateur Satellites 2018 to be sent to them. For myself, I'd like to explore digital satellites, APRS and store and forward, are there current (quite a few out of date ones have turned up) website for beginners? Thanks, Ron VE8RT DP22 -- Ron VE8RT <ve8rt(a)yknwt.ca>

Gpredict on Raspberry Pi
by Paul Overn 02 Feb '19
Playing around with gPredict on the R-pi. Wondering how to add another location for TLE files? The Rpi version does not have the "add TLE" option in the TLE screen. So it looks like I'm stuck with only the one TLE location. I'm specifically trying to add AO-85, but I'm sure there are others.

XW-2A and Other Roads Less Travelled
by Les Rayburn 02 Feb '19
I'm a bit of a nomad, and have always enjoyed taking the roads less travelled. That applies to my hobby as well—those of us who work VHF are a fairly rare bunch. Those who work satellites; not often spotted in the wild. But apparently, rarer still are those who enjoy making contacts on satellites that are not AO-91, A0-92, SO-50, and FO-29. Working from home today, so I got on nearly every satellite pass over the United States. Alternated between calling CQ and searching for others to work. The results of working eight different passes? Four contacts for the day. Two on SO-50, one each on AO-91 and FO-29. Called CQ on XW-2A at dinner time. High elevation pass. Good strong downlink the entire pass from horizon to horizon. Nada… It did net me an SWL report from Mark Gluch, KB3CI who heard me loud and clean in EN82 near Detroit. He doesn't have the transmit side working yet for the linear birds, but will soon. Ditto on AO-7, a whole pass on FO-29 this morning, and at least three of the XW birds. Last weekend, I listed to the L band activity on AO-91 and there was a ton more activity there than I heard today. (I'm working on getting the 1296 Yagi up so I can join you folks.) We've got a sky full of great satellites that perform well. Let's use them. 73, Les Rayburn, N1LF 121 Mayfair Park Maylene, AL 35114 EM63nf Member WTFDA, IRCA, NRC.

SDRplay RSP2pro test antenna?
by Ted Krempa 02 Feb '19
Hi Just got around to install with SDR Console and will be playing around with the Satellite portion. Question: for testing on rx, would a discone or dual band vertical work best ? (before I set up the real antenna - Elk on a rotor) Any input appreciated 73, Ted K7TRK


It's the first night of summer, and The Wave Room is packed with people eagerly awaiting the start of another Jam Night session.
The Friday night event, a weekly showcase of comedy, dance and music, has attracted to this North Portland hideaway a cross-generational audience of grade-school kids, parents and young singles.
The evening's activities spring from the creative talents of about 18 mostly twentysomethings and teens, who oversee all aspects of coordinating, planning, producing and staging.
Jam Night, an outgrowth of the youth ministry for Celebration Tabernacle Church, is offered as a wholesome alternative to more traditional Friday night activities.
Tiffany Balloun, a 17-year-old Wilson High School student, is the hostess. She greets patrons — always with a smile and sometimes a hug — handles the $3 cover charge at the door and directs patrons to their seats.
Damon Keller, 22, is an actor and reserve DJ. He also oversees valet parking and monitors activity in the venue, making sure everyone is comfortably seated and the aisles are clear.
Karen Mathews, an 18-year-old 2001 Benson Tech grad, is one of three servers. She collects orders for food and soft drinks. All of them, as well as their co-workers, whom they refer to as family, work for free. That's because Jam Night is more about ministry than employment. Revenues are invested into the ministry.
"We even tell jokes that are sometimes inappropriate, we're told," she said, unable to suppress a laugh. "But what do you expect with a whole bunch of teen-agers . . . running the show?" That's not to say anything goes at Jam Night. But the organizers, members of the church's college and youth groups, feel they have a pretty good feel for the pulse of their target audience: youths and young adults ages 16 to 26.
And, while ministry-based, the productions are not overtly preachy. Keller said the focus on the church is minimal. It's limited, for the most part, he said, to announcing that Jam Night is produced in association with Celebration Tabernacle and that food and drink are prepared and provided by Friday's Espresso, a church-owned business that operates in the same building with the church and The Wave Room.
"We're offering everything the family — Mom, Dad, children — can appreciate," Keller said.
The Wave Room, though unassuming from the outside, is intimate and inviting. It's well-lit, with candlelit booths and tables sharing the floor with a small stage. Stars hang from a dark, glitter-flecked ceiling.
There's no tobacco smoke in the air, no alcoholic beverages served. The menu offers "Belly Fillers & Tummy Ticklers" — everything from cheeseburgers and chili-cheese fries to a green salad and fruit bowl; "Coffee & Such" — espressos, iced granitas, lattes and "Tease" (teas).
Mondaine, a 2001 Benson grad, believes the entertainment makes Jam Night a unique draw for teens and early twentysomethings.
"They see folks their age onstage, folks their age playing music, folks their age DJing," he said.
"You're attracted to where you're comfortable. And if a bunch of 35-year-olds are onstage telling you how to be young and what to do when you're young, then you don't really want to be drawn to that." Constant chatter and laughing competes with music played by Mondaine from when the doors open at 9 p.m. The show starts at 9:30 p.m. Finally, Don Elliott, 23, takes the stage as the night's host.
On this early summer night, entertainment includes a comedy skit and solo singing performance. Shortly after 10 p.m., a hearty round of applause welcomes the Jam Night house band, The 25th Hour, a five-piece jazz/funk ensemble.

Spain General Strike March 29th 2012
Unions have agreed with the government as to what minimum levels of service will be provided during the General Strike that is set to go ahead on Thursday 29th March 2012. During the last general strike (on September 29th 2010) private businesses were open pretty much as usual in Nerja, with many shops, bars and restaurants open for business. Bus services to Málaga and the airport were affected and it is likely that there will only be a skeleton bus service during the strike on Thursday.
Its not clear at present what flights might be affected from Málaga Airport. If you have booked to fly on that day it is worth checking with your airline or holiday company before you travel, likewise if you have booked a taxi.
This page will be updated as more news is announced on the likely affect of the general strike.
Agreed Service Levels
Updated: 24th March 2012
The government has agreed the following minimum levels of service with the unions:
There will be 10% of flights operating within Spain, 20% of flights within the EU and 40% of the international flights outside of the EU.
Long distance and AVE over 500KM. 20% of the services will be in operation. Local trains will operate at around 30% of normal.
25% of the normal bus services will be in operation.
Between 50% and 100% of the ferry services will be operating as normal. The coastguard will operate at near normal levels although the control room staff will be reduced.

Tired of seeing a barrage of re-touched, sweat-free, photo-shopped fitness selfies on Instagram? A trend that is perhaps not a true reflection of a workout that actually works, it's high time social media got a makeover of its own. To help encourage others to join the revolution, TV star Millie Mackintosh has partnered with Reebok to launch the #BreakYourSelfie campaign to showcase the more human side of what getting fit actually entails.
We joined Millie and Reebok at a hard-hitting HIIT workout at Gymbox to see what it was all about. In a class that will soon be rolling out at the fitness club too, we were thoroughly put through our paces and lunged, squatted and burpeed until no filter strong enough could honestly diffuse our post-workout selfie er, glows! Which was exactly the point.
To kick off the campaign, Millie shared her before and after images on her Instagram page and we bit the bullet and snapped one with the photogenic TV star too. And why not? Getting fit isn't easy and this campaign looks like a great way to drive that point home.
So what does Millie's stay fit plan consist of? The star shared her top exercise tips, her fitness motivation and her thoughts on why working out is such a big part of her life.
MM: Anywhere between two and six times a week. Ideally I do four to five sessions but I don't beat myself up if I have a really busy week and cannot stick to that. If I have events or parties to go to, I try to balance it out with a healthy weekend and be flexible with it.
Q: What type of workouts do you do?
MM: I try to do two weights-based sessions a week and for the rest I like to try different classes. I really like the high-intensity, high-energy workouts with no rest, like the #BreakYourSelfie class we did today. You sweat, you feel sick, but it's set to music, you're in a group and it pushes you so it is a lot of fun.
Q: So a real mix, do you have a favourite?
MM: I really like the variety, with different activities on different days, but I do especially like to work on my core. My challenge at the moment is to get one pull-up nailed and to do a yoga headstand. I really want to get a pull-up bar installed in my house so I can try it at home!
Q: Why do you love fitness so much?
MM: It is therapy for the brain. No matter how stressful your day is, you have to focus when it comes to your workout and you come out feeling refreshed. It wakes you up and I feel like it gives me loads of fresh thoughts. It's also the benefit of feeling fit and healthy, it's not about weight loss for me, it's about balance – I like to go out, I like to eat good food, so it's about balancing off those naughty calories.
MM: Make it part of your lifestyle and be consistent. It's quite addictive when you start to see the positive change in your body and whilst it takes time, you have to commit to it.
Q: What do you do to recover?
• Stretch – I like to do an hour of yin yoga to stretch and relax each week.
• Eat well – if you're burning a lot of calories, get your carbs and your proteins in.
• Magnesium baths – I like to take a bath with magnesium salts to help the lactic acid disperse as often as I can.
• Rest – this is so important too. Listen to your body and don't overdo it.
Q: How do you motivate yourself that little bit extra?
MM: There is no quick fix – I tell myself that there's no point showing up if I'm not going to push myself, it has got to hurt. If your workout is easy it is not going to be doing anything for you and you're not going to get the results!
Q: What do you think of the #BreakYourSelfie campaign?
MM: Encouraging women to do a really hard workout and to be fit is a really positive message – especially as anyone can take part. It's not about looking pretty and whilst I do post selfies when I am made-up for shoots, with fitness, it's a really healthy message and I want to see lots of broken selfies!
To join in the campaign, simply share your post-workout image using #breakyourselfie and tagging @ReebokUK on www.twitter.com/reebokUK, www.instagram.com/reebokUK or direct to the Be More Human Experience here: reebok.com/bemorehuman. You can also join in at your nearest Reebok FitHub store: fitness.reebok.co.uk/Reebok-locator.
Love that you are keeping it real Millie!

Q: Different argparse rules if only one argument is given I am using nargs='+' in an argparse argument, and required different processing if there is only one argument than if there is multiple. I am using .csv files as input; if there is only one, I can use that as input for the rest of the code, however if there is multiple I first need to merge them into one .csv
My current code is:
parser.add_argument('-csv', nargs='+', help=".csv file(s)")

And I need to be able to say
if only one .csv file:
    then
else (if multiple .csv files):
    merge the .csvs

A: nargs='+' returns a list, you can check if the length of the list is equal to 1. I can see from the example that you want to check if you got only one csv file.
parser.add_argument('-csv', nargs='+', help=".csv file(s)")
args = parser.parse_args()
if len(args.csv) == 1:
   # one files
else:
   # many files
