Bro Mark, shivering in St. Louis, sent me this picture and message this morning.
The iPhone doesn't do so well in low light. This truck was in the Galleria Shopping Mall parking lot last night.
I stopped and asked the driver if I could take a picture of his truck. He was from the south and was very nice. Said he just wanted to be sure that Santa saw him this year.
The inside of the truck was lit up with just as many lights. He was going to wait out the snow/ice storm that was heading our way and the snow up north that had the roads shut down.
The photos that I took from the side turned out too blurry to even send.
If I saw this rolling down the highway, I would HAVE to follow it, I would just have to.
There are some folks who swear that I have almost as many lights on my bike, but I'll deny it.
I wish I did, but I have to confess that I'm a few bulbs short of a string.
In a comment below, Bro Mark walks down memory lane.
I had a great old blue Volvo station wagon a few years back and I would take an artificial tree and lay it down on the roof rack and then decorate the tree. I wired ornaments to the branches so they wouldn't fly off as I drove down the road. It also had a full set of lights strung on it as well. I powered the lights off a converter that plugged into a lighter.
It was great fun to drive down the highway at dusk and as I would approach a van that had kids in it, I would throw the switch and light the tree. You'd never guess that kids noses could flatten out so wide against a car window. I always got the thumbs up from other drivers as I drove down the road.
Ken may have a photo of the tree since the car broke down one Christmas on the way home when he was visiting here. It would be unlike him to have NOT taken pictures.
Later I learned that I was an idiot for using regular lights. Apparently there was some risk of electrocuting myself with the standard 110 volt lights. Electrocution, schmuckticution…I might have to do it again with the new car next year, because it was so much fun.
[Ed Note: For the record, it really DID look cool at night. As far as learning that he was an idiot for using AC power to light up the tree, the Idiot Train pulled out of the station a long time ago.
If you don't believe that, check out one of Bro Mark's other escapades.
Seems like he has this thing about lifting his bike up in the air, probably to demonstrate how light it is.
After a ride, we decided to check out Tower Rock, which is normally surrounded by swift-moving Mississippi River waters. Because of a drought, it was possible to walk out to the rock for the first time in years.
Let the pictures speak for themselves. Click on the thumbnail to see the whole story.
Bulb for bulb, he's likely got you beat. For brightness — nah! You blind me from both front AND back. Wondering if all that light doesn't bother him driving.
Wonder, too, if his lights run off a generator or what?
I don't care what it takes to get noticed, as long as it works.
OK, I draw the line at the orange Speedo. You have to have SOME sense of propriety.
I imagine the trucker kills the interior lights when he's driving.
As far as a power source, his lights are probably either 12-volt DC and run off his battery or he has an DC to AC power inverter.
Unlike me, he doesn't have to pedal to produce his power.

How come you don't have any pictures of the Volvo at night so you could see the lights all bright and lit up?
The Volvo is probably still sitting at the garage waiting for Mark to pick it back up. Next time You're in Missouri, you should drive by and see if you can still turn the lights on.
The lights weren't on in my pix because (A) it was daylighnt, (B) the engine was blown, so it wasn't putting out power to the lights and (C) if we HAD been able to run the engine there would have been so much smoke you couldn't have seen the car nor the tree.
The Volvo sat there for at least a year until Mark made a deal with the station owner to take it off his hands. You'll have to ask your uncle in which direction any money may have moved in that transaction.


It's the start of a new year – and business owners are feeling more and more optimistic, according to new research from BMO Harris Bank.
A survey of U.S. business owners finds 54% expect their business to grow in 2014, while 41% predict their company size will stay the same. Only 6% anticipate a decline this year.
Additionally, the outlook for the overall economy, while mixed, seems to be improving. Less than a third of business owners say the economy will worsen in 2014, while 37% expect it to improve.
"While there are concerns in the outlook for our economy, I take heart in the confidence that business owners have in the prospects for their own businesses. It is optimism like this that leads to capital investment, which in turn creates jobs and fuels growth," wrote BMO Harris Bank EVP Dave Casper in the release.
But the optimism isn't evenly spread across the U.S. Business owners in states like Missouri and Illinois are feeling more negative when it comes to the economy, while entrepreneurs in Arizona, California, Minnesota, Florida and Georgia are feeling decidedly cheerier.
One noticeable trend? Aside from Minnesota, the states with the most positive business owners tend to be warmer. Indeed, 20% of the business owners surveyed say the climate in Florida is one of the best reasons to do business in the Sunshine State, and 15% of Arizonian entrepreneurs agree.
Independent research firm Pollara, which conducted the research for BMO Harris Bank, surveyed over 600 U.S. business owners between November 4 and November 22, 2013.

WikiLeaks: US Government Plotted to Assassinate Bolivian President
The Anti Media
(MINTPRESS) SUCRE, Bolivia — Cables leaked by U.S. Army whistleblower Chelsea Manning reveal an apparent plot by the U.S. government to assassinate Bolivian President Evo Morales and overthrow his administration.
The cables in question were published in August in "The WikiLeaks Files: The World According to US Empire," a book in which multiple journalists along with Julian Assange analyze the contents of the treasure trove of cables Manning provided to WikiLeaks in 2010.
The book devotes a section to what "The WikiLeaks Files" contributors Alexander Main and Dan Beeton call "the day-to-day mechanics of Washington's political intervention in Latin America."
Family of Secrets Russ Baker Best Price: $1.93 Buy New $8.85 (as of 05:45 EST - Details) According to the cables, the plot to orchestrate a coup or carry out an assassination against Morales came after years of resistance by the Morales government to the United States' Latin American agenda.
TeleSUR, a Latin American TV network, reported last week that the Bolivian government is continuing a formal investigation into the allegations, despite denials by U.S. government officials:
"In a strongly worded statement the U.S. Embassy in Bolivia said, 'The government of the United States was not involved in any conspiracy, attempt to overthrow the government of Bolivia or assassinate President Morales. This kind of unfounded allegations does not contribute to improving bilateral relations.'"
The Brothers: John Fos... Kinzer, Stephen Best Price: $3.88 Buy New $7.77 (as of 12:25 EST - Details) These allegations of a U.S. plot mirror recent revelations that the DEA is targeting the Morales government with secret drug indictments after his administration kicked the U.S. agency out of Bolivia to pursue their own, locally-oriented and highly successful cocaine-reduction strategies.
Contrary to the official denials, the WikiLeaks cables show how the U.S. escalated attempts to put pressure on Morales and his government over several years. According to Main and Beeton's analysis of the cables, pressure on Morales began soon after his 2005 election as part of a wave of left-leaning candidates winning elections in Latin America. But Morales resisted U.S. directives and continued with his plans to nationalize the fossil fuels industry and move away from dependence on foreign aid and international loans.
The cables suggest that starting from 2007 the U.S. government began providing aid to the "Media Luna" region of Bolivia, which is controlled by Morales' opposition:
The Way of the Knife: ... Mazzetti, Mark Best Price: $1.91 Buy New $8.99 (as of 09:30 EST - Details) "A USAID report from 2007 stated that its Office of Transition Initiatives (OTI) 'ha[d] approved 101 grants for $4,066,131 to help departmental governments operate more strategically.' Funds also went to local indigenous groups that were 'opposed to Evo Morales' vision for indigenous communities.'"
A year later, the residents of Media Luna were rebelling against the Morales government in clashes that led to 20 deaths. A coup seemed imminent, and the opposition had the support of U.S. officials:
"[T]he United States was in regular communication with the leaders of the separatist opposition movement, even as they spoke openly of 'blow[ing] up gas lines' and 'violence as a probability to force the government to . . . take seriously any dialogue.'"
While officially supporting the Morales administration in public statements, the cables show the U.S. government preparing "a plan for immediate response in the event of a sudden emergency, i.e. a coup attempt or President Dirty Wars: The World ... Jeremy Scahill Best Price: $1.40 Buy New $7.00 (as of 08:10 EST - Details) Morales' death."
Tensions only eased as other South American governments declared their support for Bolivia's democratically-elected government.
Juan Ramon Quintana, Bolivia's minister of the presidency, emphasized the U.S. Embassy in Bolivia's direct role in the plot, according to teleSUR:
"In 2007, the embassy of the United States installed a Center of Operations in order to execute a civil-prefectural coup to apply plan A, which was the coup, and plan B, which was the assassination."
TeleSUR noted that, "Relations between the U.S. and Bolivia have been strained since 2009, when President Morales expelled the U.S. ambassador from the country for supporting [an] opposition-led conspiracy against him," a move that led then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to accuse the president of "fear-mongering."

Kampai to summer! For those of you who don't know, Kampai means cheers in Japanese, and also happens to be the name of a phenomenal beer garden in the heart of downtown Montreal! Kampai Garden, situated near Guy-Concordia metro, is a great place to go for a night out with friends. Usually blasting the likes of Drake and Kanye and overflowing with pitchers of beer and sangria, it makes for a great party.
What many people do not know is that Kampai Garden has an amazing menu full of Asian-inspired dishes too! There are options to snack on, like Montreal steak-spice edamame, or heartier dishes like barbecue pork brochettes. The menu items all range from $4 to $18. The overlapping theme is that all their food is great for sharing, and we would love to share our great experience with you!
We started the night with some simple cold dishes from the sea, and were already salivating at the options. We were immediately drawn toward the tuna tataki. This albacore tuna was brought to life with an orange zest puree and wasabi caviar, and an avocado sauce to cool the palate.
From here we made our way to the tasty shrimp tacos. We loved how the shrimp were served in a curry crepe, a great way to add bold flavour with an airy freshness. The shrimp were also coated in a fresh gin aioli.
Our favorite fish dish was Kampai's famous Poke bowl: a mix of salmon and tuna tartares with kimchi, baby potatoes, and coriander sauce. The Poke Bowl had an amazing blend of textures that we've never experienced in this trendy dish!
After we finished the first round of food, we ordered some warmer, meatier options. We knew right away that we had to try the Kampai Pogo! It was a lively Japanese twist on a childhood classic, with a pork sausage fried in a Japanese tempura batter. They were even served with a honey mustard sauce for dipping.
Another dish that was exploding with flavour was the beef ramen. Far from the quick ramen you eat at home on your lunch break, this one was served with the most tender braised beef in a garlic chili sauce. It doesn't stop there….we also indulged in the juiciest fried chicken with a sweet maple chili sauce.
Of course, we couldn't enjoy all this amazing food without a pitcher of one of Kampai's famous sangrias. Our choice of the night was the Dragonfly. This pretty pink drink was sweet, sour, and reminiscent of your favourite candy in all the right ways. The pitchers come in small, medium, and large sizes that can make four to eight drinks, and are priced from $20 to $35 accordingly.
To wind down a great food experience, we were treated to three lovely dessert pots. These sweets were designed by the incredible pastry chefs at Cafe Bazin in Montreal. The first was a potted twist on the lemon pie, with a tart lemon curd, thick white cake, and a sweet whipped topping. The next was a chocolate-lover's dream, a decadent brownie in a pot. Finally, we had a crunchy yet silky dulce de leche in a pot! With all desserts at only $4 a piece, there's no excuse not to indulge!
If there's one thing for sure, we'll be "cheers-ing" our way through summer at Kampai Garden. Grab your chopsticks and meet us there!

Q: Python function decorator should print full method name The following useful decorator measures the execution time of a function. It also prints the function's name. However, it would be great if it could also print the class name if the function is a method. What is a concise way to get to the full method name a la Class.method?
import time

def timeit(f):

    def timed(*args, **kw):

        ts = time.time()
        result = f(*args, **kw)
        te = time.time()

        print('func:%r args:[%r, %r] took: %2.4f sec' % (f.__name__, args, kw, te-ts))
        return result

    return timed

A: What about .__qualname__ ?
In [1]: class MyClass(object):
   ...:     def my_method(self):
   ...:         pass
   ...:

In [2]: MyClass.my_method.__qualname__
Out[2]: 'MyClass.my_method'

A: There may be a better way, but in Python 2 (which doesn't have __qualname__)  you can use
m.im_class.__name__

as in
>>> class MyClass(object):
...   def foo(self):
...      pass
...
>>> m = MyClass.foo
>>> print m.im_class.__name__ + '.' + m.__name__
MyClass.foo

If anyone can, Serena can - Hingis
Serena Williams (AFP)
Defending champion Kvitova hopes for tonic
Wimbledon announces order of play
Ferrer withdraws from Wimbledon
London - Martina Hingis backed Serena Williams' bid to secure a calendar Grand Slam, saying the world number one would be even hungrier this time to secure the Wimbledon title.
With the third tennis major of the year getting under way on Monday, Hingis said Williams would be focused on her golden chance to win all four Slams - Wimbledon and the Australian, French and US Opens - in the same season.
Swiss star Hingis, a five-time Grand Slam winner, would have done the calendar clean sweep herself in 1997 had she not lost in the French Open final.
Williams, 33, held all four titles simultaneously in 2002-2003, but for all her 20 Grand Slam crowns, has never held all four from the same season.
Only Maureen Connolly (1953), Margaret Court (1970) and Steffi Graf (1988) have achieved the feat.
Five-time Wimbledon champion Williams has lost in the fourth and third rounds in her last two appearances at the All England Club - which Hingis thinks will motivate the American all the more.
"She's probably even more hungry because the last couple of times, it was not the way she wanted it. If anyone can do it's it's definitely Serena," the 34-year-old said.
Hingis and Williams are of a similar vintage. This year marks 20 years since Hingis made her first appearance in the Wimbledon ladies' singles, at the age of 14.
The aggression and power of Williams and her older sister Venus as they dominated tennis from 2000 onwards eclipsed the deft precision play of the smaller-built Hingis.
Returning from an early retirement, Hingis found there was still hope of getting to the top in doubles.
"I still had the skills; maybe I didn't completely have their power because they are taller, bigger and stronger, but that was always the case. But in doubles especially, the placement, the skills and strategy are more important than power," she said.
While Serena still rules the singles, Hingis's revived career is as a doubles-only specialist. She goes into Wimbledon as the top seed with her new partner, India's Sania Mirza.
The former world number one said she could never have imagined that she would still be a favourite to win titles two decades on from her full Wimbledon debut.
"Honestly, no! But that's the beauty about the game today. You see the top 10 now, everyone's older. When I started, I was 14. Today experience also counts," Hingis said.
She and Mirza, who has a huge following in her homeland, are gunning for glory at Wimbledon.
"If I didn't have a chance to win the tournament I wouldn't be out here," she told reporters in the southwest London suburb.
"That's the goal. Winning matches the way I've played with Sania the last four or five months, it's been incredible. I'm enjoying this journey," said Hingis.
"We definitely are one of the favourite teams to win but still anyone can bite you, come out and have a good day; especially on grass, you have to be ready.
"It would be amazing if we get out there and I could pay on Centre Court again in the real competition, I would enjoy every second of it."
Hingis was tight-lipped about a shot at an Olympic medal by teaming up with compatriot Roger Federer in the mixed doubles at Rio de Janeiro 2016.
"You always have dreams but this is still far away," she said.
Hingis was speaking as the International Tennis Hall of Fame, based in Newport, Rhode Island, named her as their first global ambassador.

Everybody hurts when we lose a loved one.
We just hurt in a different way.
We hurt when we see others loved ones lost.
We hurt even worse when its day in and day out.
Nobody understands why this job has a love hate relationship.
But yet we still go on.
Everybody hurts when a brother or sister has takin' the ultimate sacrifice.
We hurt when are hard work is taken for granted, yet its just a job but we are heroes and there is no hurt in that job title.
Everybody wants the title of a "hero" but can you face the hurt that lies ahead.
We all hurt when we cant take anymore of this terrible, traumatic and mind blowing job.
But we always manage to come out on top, most of the time.
In the meantime we will continue to see the pain and sorrow of the job, until God has picked up the phone and now its over. No more hurt, but the hurt will be passed on as we do too.

Trees That Bloom in the Winter With Camellia-Like Pink & White Flowers
By Elisabeth Ginsburg
Calla vs. Peace Lily
How to Care for Cryptomeria
Yoshino Cherry Tree Colors
Why Does My Crabapple Tree Look Like a Bush?
A Comparison of Camellia Sasanquas
A number of large shrubs or small trees bloom in winter, especially late winter. Fewer have pink and white flowers. The best known are various camellia species, including the popular Japanese camellia (Camellia japonica), hardy in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 7 through 9. At least one other species, not related to camellias, also bears pink and white late winter blooms.
Like single camellias, flowering quince (Chaenomeles spp.), generally hardy in USDA zones 4 or 5 through 8, bears flowers with five petals apiece. Depending on climate zone, the quinces bloom at winter's end and some varieties, like "Apple Blossom" (Chaenomeles speciosa "Apple Blossom"), hardy in USDA zones 4 through 8 or 9, bear pink and white, five-petaled flowers. Flowering quinces can grow as tall as a small tree, topping out at 6 to 10 feet tall. In gardens, they are generally grown in shrub form, but can also be grown in tree form, if properly trained and pruned.
Japanese Apricot
Japanese apricot (Prunus mume), hardy in USDA zones 6 through 9 or 10, blooms in late winter, with flowers that are generally pink, but can be touched with white. The blossoms are single or double. The single-flowered apricot blooms have a prominent central cluster of golden stamens, something also notable on single camellia blossoms. Japanese apricot trees grow 15 to 20 feet tall, with an equal spread. Unlike camellias, the flowers are fragrant. Apricot leaves are oval-shaped. The trees fruit in summer and while the fruit is edible, it is best used in jams.
Standard Camellias
A tree that blooms in winter with pink and white camellia-like flowers, may be a camellia trained to grow in standard or tree form. Japanese camellias, which generally grow as pyramidal or columnar shrubs, reaching 10 to 15 feet tall and 6 to 10 feet wide, can be trained as standards by selecting young specimens and pruning away all but a single strong trunk. All growth is removed from the bottom two-thirds of the plant and the top grows normally. Sasanqua camellias (Camellia sasanqua), hardy in USDA zones 7 to 9, can be treated the same way.
Pink and White Varieties
Pink and white camellia varieties include "Chandleri Elegans" (Camellia japonica "Chandleri Elegans"), which is pink with a white center. "Martha's Dream" (Camellia sasanqua "Martha's Dream"), bears white flowers with petals edged in pink and a carnation-like appearance. Another variety, cold-tolerant "Northern Lights" (Camellia sansanqua "Northern Lights") features a notably erect habit, making it a good candidate for growing in tree form. Its flowers are white with pink edges.

Is Jane Eyre a real person?
Does Mr Rochester love Jane?
How long will it take me to read Jane Eyre?
Is Jane Eyre or Wuthering Heights better?
Can a 12 year old read Jane Eyre?
Is Mr Rochester bad?
What grade level is Jane Eyre?
Why do we still read Jane Eyre?
Why did Bertha Mason go mad?
Is Jane Eyre a sad book?
Why does Mr Rochester want to marry Jane?
Is Jane Eyre funny?
Is Jane Eyre a boring book?
What does Bertha Mason symbolize in Jane Eyre?
Why is Jane Eyre such a good book?
Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre (1847), one of the best-loved novels in the English language, may have been inspired by a real person. The real Jane Eyre was a member of a Moravian settlement, a Protestant Episcopal movement, and lived virtually as a nun for a period before marrying a surgeon.
The relationship between Jane Eyre and Edward Fairfax Rochester plays a major part in the novel of Jane Eyre, as Rochester turns out to be the love of Jane's life. At first she finds him rather impolite and cold-hearted, but soon they become kindred souls.
12 hours and 20 minutes
Jane Eyre is the "better" novel, and I prefer it – yet Wuthering Heights contains sentences that no other writer could have written and an extraordinary vision of love's corrosive fury.
The book can be enjoyed at any age — but the same can be said of YA literature in general. According to a 2012 study, more than half the buyers of YA books are over 18. Surely the best time to read Jane Eyre is as a young adult.
Edward Rochester, before the arrival of Jane, is a terrible man. He's selfish and self-centered. Rochester only wishes to make himself feel good and to escape the burden of his wife. Some readers were upset that he lied to Jane and tried to marry her without letting her know that about his first wife.
Grade 7 – Grade 12
Reading Level Grade 8
Genre Fiction, Young Adult
Publisher Lerner Publishing Group
Brand First Avenue Classics ™
More than just a fun read, Jane Eyre is a subtle, intelligent discussion of the difficulty of choosing among competing value systems. We watch Jane struggle with these questions, and gain insight into how we struggle with values of our own. That is why Jane Eyre still matters.
The sexual repression, social isolation and emotional trauma that Bertha undergoes after being betrayed and cheated on by Rochester are shown by Jean Rhys in Wide Sargasso Sea as reasons responsible for Bertha's (supposed) madness. She wasn't always mad; (if at all) her containment had made it so.
Whilst reading Jane Eyre I experienced a conglomerate of feelings, but the most prevalent included sadness, hope, and tension. From the first chapter when Jane was summarizing her rough childhood to the late night she saved Mr. Rochester's life, I was inarguably hooked.
Main Ideas Why does Jane marry Rochester? Jane marries Rochester because she views him as her emotional home. From the start of the novel, Jane struggles to find people she can connect with emotionally. In Chapter 22, Jane observes that she views Rochester as her home, emphasizing this kinship she feels with him.
The novel itself is reasonably humorous because as you read, you think, who could possibly love Mr. Rochester, who is honestly horrible. He is so incredibly rude to Jane and he treats all women horribly. The end of the novel is even funnier, as the only way that it was possible for Jane and Mr.
Jane Eyre was boring and unbelievable. I did enjoy the first half of the book because I had such hope for her, but then it just became dull and unrealistic. I never bought the romance between Jane and Mr.
Bertha Mason is a complex presence in Jane Eyre. She impedes Jane's happiness, but she also catalyses the growth of Jane's self-understanding. Further, Bertha serves as a remnant and reminder of Rochester's youthful libertinism. Yet Bertha can also be interpreted as a symbol.
Jane Eyre is a classic for a reason. It is not a fantasy and doesn't seem to be written with the thought of fiction in mind. The main character goes through pain, jealousy, anger, poverty and loneliness. It shows that a protagonist doesn't have to be the fairest of them all.

Christmas Bird Count
Each year, Greenwich Audubon Center participates in this annual tradition to monitor winter bird populations throughout North America. Teams of birders head out on Dec. 15 to count as many individual birds as possible in a given count area within 24 hours. The count in this area is known as the "Greenwich-Stamford Count Circle," which encompasses all of Greenwich and Stamford as well as Darien and parts of Westchester County, N.Y. All of the data compiled is submitted to ornithologists who conduct vital research on the health of our winter bird populations. There are two ways to participate. Join a count team, which will be assigned to different areas within the count circle and at Greenwich Audubon Center, and then go out and count birds by foot and car during the count period. Some teams will begin counting before dawn to count owls and will continue until 5 p.m. Or you can participate in the Christmas Bird Count at home by counting birds at your backyard feeders during the day. Simply complete the checklist provided to you by Audubon and submit it by 5 p.m. Dec. 15. All count participants are invited to gather at Greenwich Audubon Center at 5 p.m. to compile results and enjoy a complimentary dinner. For those interested in participating at Greenwich Audubon Center, contact Ted Gilman at tgilman@audubon.org or 203-930-1353.
