Q: Opening Options Menu with Dialog Open This seems like a pretty simple question, but I'm not sure if it's even possible. Is it possible to allow the MENU button to still bring up the option's menu when a dialog is showing on top? I want to do this because I want to give the user some more options while a dialog is opened.

A: I don't think that is possible.
Although the docs say that you should be able to do this.

A dialog is always created and displayed as a part of an Activity. You should normally create dialogs from within your Activity's onCreateDialog(int) callback method. When you use this callback, the Android system automatically manages the state of each dialog and hooks them to the Activity, effectively making it the "owner" of each dialog. As such, each dialog inherits certain properties from the Activity. For example, when a dialog is open, the Menu key reveals the options menu defined for the Activity and the volume keys modify the audio stream used by the Activity.

A History of the County of Middlesex: Volume 12, Chelsea. Originally published by Victoria County History, London, 2004.
A steamboat service serving Chelsea seems to have operated by 1816, and boomed in popularity in the 1830s. (fn. 23) Chelsea was served by the London and Westminster Steamboat Company c. 1835, the Iron Steamboat Company from 1837, the Chelsea Steamboat Company from 1841, and the City (or Citizen) Steamboat Company from 1845. Traffic peaked in the early 1840s, with intense competition between the companies: in 1844 eight steamboats travelled between London Bridge and Chelsea, four times an hour, and traffic was increasing. Chelsea vestry saw steamboats - quick, cheap, and comfortable - as potentially the common transport of residents of the densely-populated shore, but by the 1850s improved railways and roads had begun the decline in both commuter and recreational traffic on the river. Despite benefits to navigation and the improved access to riverside thoroughfares for steamboat passengers brought about by the creation of the embankment in the 1870s, (fn. 24) winter services were gradually withdrawn in the 1880s, and commuting was negligible. Successive companies failed to maintain the service, which was minimal by 1900, although a summer service continued. (fn. 25) Under the Thames River Steamboat Service Act the LCC operated a service from 1905, but no winter service was offered in 1906-7 and the service was not restarted in 1908. Subsequently river travel was sporadic and recreational, primarily by private initiative. (fn. 26) In 1914 steamers, presumably privately operated, called at Cadogan and Carlyle piers. (fn. 27) A request in 1933 for a service by the London Passenger Transport Board was unsuccessful, (fn. 28) and river services ran only in summer in 1952. (fn. 29) In the 1990s, however, the rediscovery of the Thames as a public highway through London led to the introduction of regular motorboat services. In 1992 a private service between Chelsea Harbour (Fulham) and Canary Wharf (Poplar), which called at Cadogan pier every 20 minutes, proved more successful than the Festival of Britain boats had been in 1951 which, underpowered, could not fulfil a timetable. Even so, the backers soon failed, (fn. 30) but another service from Cadogan pier to Westminster and the City began in 2000.
There was insufficient accommodation on the riverbank for the boats in the 1840s and piers were built into the Thames to accommodate them. Cremorne Gardens had its own landing place, with a regular service from London. (fn. 31) In 1840 Old Swan pier and Chelsea Mall pier served the steamboats, but by 1841 Earl Cadogan had erected Cadogan pier in Cheyne Walk, designed by N. Handford, catering for a large number of summer passengers. (fn. 32) In 1846 Chelsea improvement commission believed that additional piers were still needed, (fn. 33) but provision for piers in plans for the embankment c. 1852 was not put into effect. (fn. 34) Another pier was built east of Battersea Bridge by 1865, (fn. 35) known as Chelsea and later as Carlyle pier; it was presumably rebuilt following completion of the embankment in 1874. (fn. 36) Cadogan pier was also rebuilt c. 1875 to accommodate Albert Bridge. (fn. 37) By 1894 Victoria pier had been put up near the Royal Hospital, just outside the parish's eastern boundary, (fn. 38) but was disused in 1901. (fn. 39) The LCC acquired Cadogan pier from the Thames Conservancy Board and Carlyle pier from the Thames Steamboat Company and repaired them in 1905; passengers travelling higher up the river changed boats at Cadogan pier, but services operated from Carlyle for only a few months. (fn. 40) All three piers survived in 1963, (fn. 41) but only Cadogan pier still stood in 1996 when it was bought by Cadogan Pier (Chelsea) Limited from the Port of London Authority. (fn. 42) Public and private charter services operated from it in 2000.
In 1672 the Fulham road had long suffered neglect, but in 1673 Chelsea's inhabitants claimed they could not make repairs owing to the wet season. (fn. 64) In 1687 two surveyors were amerced for not mending the highway from Queen's Elm, presumably to Stamford bridge. In 1689 the inhabitants repaired the highway between Queen's Elm and the King's Gate (presumably between Fulham Road and King's Road) and between Queen's Elm and the Dog Kennel after being presented. (fn. 65) By 1829 the high road had 'become a great thoroughfare', (fn. 66) presumably reflecting increased traffic on this route of long-standing importance.
An Act of 1725 formed a trust, usually known as the Kensington trust, which from 1726 maintained Chelsea's roads from Knightsbridge to Fulham ferry (Fulham Road); Westminster to Chelsea ferry (later Royal Hospital Road); and Chelsea church to Kensington (later Old Church Street); (fn. 89) turnpike gates were erected at Queen's Elm. (fn. 90) In 1728 the trust maintained almost two miles in Chelsea and around a quarter of a mile at the Royal Hospital, leaving over a mile of Chelsea's roads outside its care. The trustees compounded with Chelsea for £50 and with the Royal Hospital for £8 in lieu of statute work on the roads. (fn. 91) The trust's attempts to dig gravel on Chelsea Common, in dispute from 1726, were thwarted in 1736 by Sir Hans Sloane and other proprietors. (fn. 92) A further Act renewed the trust from 1741 and added Blacklands Lane (later Draycott Avenue), because of its poor condition caused by increased use by carriages. (fn. 93) The trust did not meet all the needs of the parish regarding the roads however. In 1770 the vestry had to get the trust to remedy the bad condition of the turnpiked roads, and in the 1780s Hans Town residents were unsuccessful in getting the trust to take over Sloane Street, though from 1795 the trust paid a composition to the Hans Town commissioners for its repair. (fn. 94) In 1794 the parish considered demanding concessions including watering to counter a feared increase in tolls, but in the event did not oppose the trust's Bill. (fn. 95) In 1825 the trust had gates at Chelsea Bunhouse, Queen's Elm, and Little Chelsea, and under its Act of 1825 set up a new gate in Royal Hospital Row (later part of Royal Hospital Road). (fn. 96) A proposal to replace the trust in 1821 was opposed by Chelsea vestry which was satisfied with its management, (fn. 97) but under an Act of 1826 the Metropolitan Roads Commission (MRC) succeeded the trust. (fn. 98) A Kensington trust post survived in Godfrey Street in 2000.
Proposals for a bridge between Cheyne Walk and Battersea were made from at least 1842, (fn. 135) but a scheme of 1843 was apparently transferred to form the original proposal for Chelsea Bridge. (fn. 136) The proposal to build Albert Bridge eventually secured its Act in 1864, although further Acts were necessary in 1869, 1871, and 1873; (fn. 137) construction was delayed by arrangements for the embankment. (fn. 138) Work progressed from 1870 on an earlier plan for an ornate three-span iron bridge by R.M. Ordish, supported by rigid bands radiating from the towers, according to his patented system; it opened in 1873. (fn. 139) Tolls were abolished in 1879. (fn. 140) Alterations planned by Sir Joseph Bazalgette, which involved adding new chains, were carried out by the MBW in 1887. (fn. 141) A five-ton weight limit was imposed in 1935 and a two-ton limit c. 1970. Proposed replacement by the LCC met opposition in 1957, and the GLC's proposal to prop the central span provoked debate about whether the bridge should be replaced, maintained for motor traffic, or reserved for pedestrians. Supporting piers were inserted in 1972. (fn. 142) A public inquiry of 1974 considered closure to vehicles, (fn. 143) but the bridge stayed open.
A proposal was drawn up in 1839 for embanking the north shore of the Thames between Vauxhall Bridge and Battersea Bridge, which would aid navigation and sanitation, provide a riverside road improving communications and opportunities for recreation, and benefit neighbouring areas. This was considered by the Metropolis Improvements Commission in 1843, and plans prepared by its engineer, Thomas Page, in 1845. Chelsea vestry supported the proposal, believing the embankment, which it wanted continued to Fulham, would stimulate other improvements. (fn. 146) The Commissioners of Woods and Forests were empowered to form the embankment, but as agreement was not reached with some proprietors the work was deferred. (fn. 147) The Commissioners of Works were substituted in 1852, but only empowered to construct an embankment as far as Chelsea Hospital's western boundary. (fn. 148) Chelsea improvement commission, however, campaigned for the full scheme, highlighting the inadequacy of communications, which were blamed for the defective condition of much of Chelsea, and arguing that the parish's improvement Act had been founded on the expectation of the full embankment. (fn. 149) The partial embankment was made c. 1853-7; foul mudbanks remained west of Battersea Bridge in 1859. (fn. 150) The embankment terminated with a turning place (which survived in 2001) in front of the Royal Hospital, just inside the parish boundary.
Counter's Creek, also known as Chelsea Creek, the New Cut River, or Bull Creek, was the parish's western boundary. (fn. 184) Sir Walter Cope widened the river, presumably while living at Kensington, 1607-14, to the inhabitants' benefit, (fn. 185) and in 1673 Chelsea landowners were presented for failing to scour the watercourse, used by vessels from the Thames. (fn. 186) Canalization of the creek by a private company was authorized under Acts of 1824 and 1826, and the Kensington canal opened in 1828 with capacity for craft of 100 tons. (fn. 187) However traffic was poor, and the Birmingham, Bristol, and Thames Junction (after 1840 the West London) Railway was incorporated in 1836 to build a railway line over the northern stretch, outside Chelsea. (fn. 188) The company took the canal over, its muddy condition a source of concern. After the West London Extension Railway company was formed in 1859 the canal was transferred to it, and the section north of King's Road was used for the line in 1863 (below). The southern stretch remained in use by businesses with wharves along its banks. It passed to the British Transport Commission after nationalization in 1947. Right of navigation from King's Road southward to the gasworks dock in Fulham was extinguished in 1959, and a dam was formed. From 1963 the remaining stretch was managed by the British Waterways Board, but after 1967 traffic was minimal. The borough council's proposal in 1981 to fill in the derelict stretch between King's Road and the dam provoked opposition, (fn. 189) but by 2001 a stretch south of King's Road had been filled.
In 1989 the Central London Rail Study proposed a scheme for a Chelsea-Hackney line, (fn. 206) which was still awaiting financial backing in 2003.

"The Influence of Product Variety on Brand Perception and Choice" by Jonah A. Berger, Michaela Draganska et al.
We propose that the variety a brand offers often serves as a quality cue and thus influences which brand consumers choose. Specifically, brands that offer a greater variety of options that appear compatible and require similar skills tend to be perceived as having greater category expertise or core competency in the category, which, in turn, enhances their perceived quality and purchase likelihood. Six studies support this proposition and demonstrate that compared to brands which offer fewer products, (a) brands which offer increased compatible variety are perceived as having higher quality; (b) this effect is mediated by product variety's impact on perceived expertise; (c) the higher perceived quality produces a greater choice share of the higher variety brand, even among consumers who select options that multiple brands offer and (d) product variety also impacts post-experience perceptions of taste. The findings suggest that in addition to directly affecting brand choice share through influencing the fit with consumer preferences, product line length can also indirectly affect brand choice through influencing perceived brand quality.

A bill was recently proposed in the Alabama legislature that would allow the state to terminate parental rights in cases where a parent, addicted to drugs or alcohol, had relapsed after receiving a second round of in-patient treatment.Our Munster child custody lawyers know that if this law were to pass, while it wouldn't affect Indiana families directly, it could set a troubling precedent.
This is not to say that the state does not have a valid interest in protecting the children from harm caused by a drug-addicted parent. Indeed, it does. However, both in Indiana and in Alabama, there are legal provisions that allow either the other parent or the state to step in and seek remedies – up to and including termination of parental rights. Capping treatment options is not the solution.
While we understand the framers of the bill had intended to draw the line when it comes to protecting our children and saying, "Enough is enough," it may actually end up resulting in fewer parents seeking much-needed treatment, for fear they may lose their children if they falter one more time.
That being said, we have represented numerous clients who were at their wits' end with the seemingly endless cycle of addiction of their former spouse. In many cases, that was what led to divorce in the first place.
In cases like this, one of the first things we might seek to do is file for emergency child custody. This won't be a permanent order, but it will allow you to keep your child safe while the courts have an opportunity to sort through all the details of what is being alleged.
Your first step in a case like this, in which you fear for your child's safety due to your ex's addiction, would be to contact an experienced family law attorney. He or she can help you file the petition, which will allow you to get an immediate hearing, as it is considered an emergency. Your lawyer may also at the same time submit a form requesting a more permanent custody arrangement be addressed at a later date. This will allow you to pursue the long-term custody arrangement, whether the court grants the temporary order or not.
With the understanding that these situations sometimes unfold rapidly, you still want to try to be as prepared as possible. Bring any relevant police reports, voice mail recordings, text messages, e-mails or photographs that could serve to further bolster your case. Specific examples might be reports of a DUI or drug-related arrest or previous convictions, photographs of drugs or paraphernalia in the home or statements from third party witnesses attesting to the severity of the other parent's addiction and the danger it poses to the child.
There is a satisfactory plan for care and treatment of the child following the termination of rights.
Courts in Indiana take child custody loss and parental rights termination very seriously. If you need legal assistance in either of these matters, contact us today.


In 2005, I got my invite to get a Gmail account. It was incredible, and I loved it, although I didn't really know why at the time. It was a combination of really great design so it was pleasant to use, the hype built up by the invite system, the perpetual feeling of getting something more as you watched your allotted storage slowly tick up, and quite a bit from the fact that it was the first email account I signed up for on my own. I had an email account before that, created by my parents through our ISP, but this one was mine, created by me, from an invite my friend gave me, and all my friends were also using Gmail - if they could get an invite. With that ability to also chat through your webmail client… it was mindblowing, and it eventually supplanted AOL Instant Messenger for my friends and me.
For the last 13 years, Gmail has been my primary email service. (I recently switched to a paid provider who respects my privacy. I'm willing to pay for privacy and security.) It has been instrumental in allowing me to communicate and stay in touch with family, friends, and acquaintances as we spread out across the globe. I have 65,000 emails in my account, 10,000 sent emails, and 9,000 chats with friends.
Along the way, they added features that helped me communicate more effectively. When they added the Google Labs feature to stop an email from sending if you say "find attached" or something and forget to attach a document… that saved me embarrassment many times, and it saved my contacts from frustration. When they added video calls in 2008, it made it easy to actually see my parents while I was away at college. Filtering gives us the ability to sort incoming messages and reduce information overload. Labels replaced the folders of other mail providers as a more natural fit for how we want to organize our information. The superior search features of Gmail have made it so that I have a (slow, asynchronous) external memory where I can look up past events. And not least of all, Gmail's spam filtering was incredibly effective at a time when most mail providers struggled against the tide.
This is all to say: Gmail, I have loved you, but "Smart Compose" and "Smart Reply" are strong deviations from the true value of Gmail.
The true value of Gmail has been in enhancing and facilitating communication, especially sincere communication. "Smart Reply" hinders this value by reducing the overall variety of responses, and "Smart Compose" biases the words that you send.
With "Smart Reply", Gmail shows you three possible replies below your email, encouraging you to select one to reply "efficiently". The problem is that this has the same effect as naming a number in a negotiation: it anchors you around those possibilities and reduces your creativity in responding. If someone asks you whether Monday or Tuesday works for you, it will offer the responses "Let's do Monday," "Monday works for me," or "Either day works for me" (this is an actual example from the announcement blog post). The net effect of this, I believe, is that people will be less likely to schedule on Tuesday, because the convenient options were all presented saying that Monday is better or that they are equal. For setting up a coffee date, this might not be a big deal, but what about for price negotiations? The models for "Smart Reply" are surely trained on real emails, so what if the model learns that men will negotiate more aggressively than women? If that makes its way into the "Smart Reply" feature, it will have material harm for any woman negotiating pricing over email by slightly biasing them toward less aggressive negotiations, reinforcing the status quo.
Similarl harms are baked into "Smart Compose", a feature which suggests the next word or phrase for you to type based on what you've typed so far. They've already had to remove pronouns because the system was biased toward men, so it is difficult to believe that it is unbiased in all other ways. What other harms are in the system that Google engineers simply have not detected yet?
And that's all just the active immediate harm from a particular message. There is also the more subtle shift from automating some of our communcations. What if the black box learns when your contacts' birthdays are, and suggest sending "happy birthday" to them on those days and fills it in for you? How long will it take to erode the well-wishing tradition in our society, replacing it with a mechanical button-press? The point of saying "happy birthday" isn't to just say it - it is to actually think about them and take your time to call them or message them with your well wishes.
Automating our communication is done in the name of efficiency but it is robbing us of the one thing that makes humans human: our language and our communication. It is causing direct harms, whether through something as benign as a "happy birthday" or through something as sinister as biasing negotiations or oppressing whole groups. I hope these harms were considered by the product managers at Google, but these are public harms, so the users and the public deserve to be made aware of whatever tradeoffs have been made and whatever protections are in place. In the meantime, we should all consider these features harmful and a net negative for our society.

10th Anniversary Awards – Voting Now Closed!
September 21, 2017 in Site News

VOTING IS NOW CLOSED – We'll announce the winners in a special podcast at the end of October
Thank you to everyone who put in their nominations for our 10th Anniversary Awards. We've collected the nominations and put together a shortlist in each category. Now it's time to vote for your favourites.
The poll is open for the next two weeks. You can find the link at the bottom of the post once you've read up on each nominee.
Scottish Player Of The Decade
Chris Paterson – It's terrifying to think about where Scottish rugby might be were it not for Mossy's freakish consistency and range from the tee. Scotland's reputation pre-Cotter was in tatters and were it not for Paterson's metronomic kicking saving the cause time and time again Scotland might have slipped down the rankings into obscurity. Paterson was on his 83rd cap when we started the blog, eventually finishing on 109, a record until Ross Ford broke it this summer. Paterson remains Scotland's highest points scorer (809) and it's hard to see that being overtaken any time soon. All of this despite the obvious disadvantage of coming from Gala.
Sean Lamont – Another huge contributor to the Scotland cause. During Scotland's dark ages Lamont would be the one taking the game by the scruff of the neck and putting his body on the line time and time again. A useful utility player found on the wing and at centre (and in the back row at one point if this writer's memory serves him correctly) he has seen things you wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in the rain.
Stuart Hogg – Hogg first came to the fore in a blistering display for Scotland A against England Saxons in 2012 with Scotland running out 35-0 winners. This earned Hogg a call up to the first team squad and after a barnstorming appearance from the bench against Wales he has never looked back. His precocious talent was sometimes sullied by poor temperament but Hogg appears to have put this behind him in recent years and has amassed 92 points for Scotland in 52 appearances as well as two Lions tours. At only 25 years of age he is likely to remain a mainstay of the Scotland team for many years to come. Potentially a future contender for breaking Scotland's all-time cap and try record. Hogg is currently only two tries shy of passing Gregor Townsend's tally of 17 and just 10 shy of breaking the overall record. All this despite the obvious disadvantage of coming from Hawick.
Grieg Laidlaw – In just 58 appearances "Rugby Jesus" has managed to become Scotland's third all-time points scorer behind Gavin Hastings and Chris Paterson. Laidlaw has also made the most appearances for Scotland as captain despite coming to international rugby relatively late in his career. Often maligned for being too slow to get the ball away from the base of the ruck, Laidlaw's game management skills have grown in recent times earning him a call-up to the 2017 Lions. One can only wonder how the Lions would have fared if Laidlaw had started all the test matches. All this despite the obvious disadvantage of coming from Jed.
Overseas Player Of The Decade
Leone Nakarawa – The Weegie from Fiji with the hands of David Blaine, able to complete one-handed passes he has no business attempting, let alone completing. A key component of Glasgow's Pro 12 victory in 2015 and it might be argued that neither he nor Glasgow have quite been the same since.
Niko Matawalu – The other Weegie from Fiji with skills to both dazzle and frustrate. Often guilty of taking a "f*** it I'll do it myself" approach to games with horrifying results, but watching him jink thorough opposition defences was, at times, a sheer filthy pleasure.
DTH Van Der Merwe – The Weegie from Saskatchewan? The South African born Canadian winger scored 215 points in 96 appearances for Glasgow Warriors and like his two Fijian colleagues was part of the "classic" Glasgow XV that claimed the Pro 12 trophy in 2015, scoring tries in the semi-final and the final.
Only non-Scots qualified players were eligible. Players who qualified on residency such as WP Nel were excluded.
#Justice4Roddy Award For The Criminally Undercapped
Roddy Grant – A mainstay in the Edinburgh back row for years and capped for Scotland 7s and Scotland A but never the first XV. Perhaps unlucky to have been playing at a time when Scotland had a wealth of talent in the back row but there was a period under Andy Robinson and Scott Johnson when Scotland were badly in need of a fetcher with Grant's particular set of skills. However, it was not to be – despite a social media campaign by this blog which gave this award its name.
Thom Evans – The criminality of Evans lack of caps lies not with having been overlooked, but rather with criminal bad luck following a horrific injury against Wales in 2010 at the age of 24 that ended his career. Evans had pace and promise and Scotland were badly in need of someone with his talents in the years that followed. Evans is now pursuing a career in acting.
Ross Rennie – Rennie was the man who broke up the Killer B's hold on the Scotland back row and seemed destined for greatness. However a run of injuries hampered his progress and he moved down to Bristol where he has a small renaissance under Andy Robinson with many tipping him for an international comeback. He was eventually forced to retire due to a neck injury. Rennie now works as a property manager for luxury ski chalets in France.
John Barclay – Not since the days of the Bible has there been such a resurrection. From out in the cold to Scotland captain in just over a year, Barclay's return to the International scene has been as surprising as it has been welcome. There was a time when opensides became unfashionable in a Scotland jersey and this as well as rumours of strained relationships with coaches meant Barclay was left out in the cold despite superb performances for Scarlets where he is fast becoming a loc. Now firmly ensconced in the camp and on a one-man mission to keep Stuart Hogg's feet on the ground.
Steven Shingler – Shingler was called up to Scotland's 2012 Six Nations training squad. However it turned out he had already committed himself to Wales. Shingler has yet to win a cap for Wales and currently plays for Cardiff Blues.
Scottish Rugby's Moment Of The Decade
2015 World Cup Quarter Final vs Australia – There are so many moments that stand out from this match – both good and bad. Somehow, the entire game seemed to perfectly encapsulate the history of Scottish rugby in a single 80 minute match. Two years have passed and this is the most this writer can bear to write about the game: my keyboard is soaked in bitter tears.
Melrose Winning Their Own Sevens in 2011 – The Melrose 7s is a crowning moment in the Scottish Rugby calendar each year with teams from around the world coming to compete for this historic and much-coveted prize. Melrose's victory was all the more impressive in a tournament featuring a South African team with three IRB World Series players in its ranks as well as New Zealand provincial champions Waikato. All this despite the obvious disadvantage of coming from Melrose.
Scotland 7s Victory in 2017 – Scotland went into the 2017 London 7s as reigning champions and there is an argument to say that victory should have been put forward for the vote too. However, the 2017 victory was made all the more impressive after Scotland beat New Zealand in the quarter finals 24-21 having been 21-0 down at half time. The fact Scotland retained the trophy also demonstrated the vast strides made by a team threatened with extinction just two years previously.
Berwick Rugby Club Drinking The Orkney Ferry Dry – In January 2016 we ran an article covering Berwick's mammoth journey to play Orkney in the National Leagues. The story caught the imagination of a number of our readers as it cast a light on the financial pressures facing small clubs up and down the country. However the stand out quote of the piece concerned the discovery by some in the travelling party than paying £7.50 upgrade to first class on the ferry entitled you to complimentary drinks with the bar having to be refilled three times in the hour and a half crossing.
Jo Ansbro & Al Strockosh headbutting each other after beating Australia in 2012 – Words cannot do justice to such a moment. Why not just sit back and enjoy:
Coach Of The Decade
Gregor Townsend – After an underwhelming start to his coaching career as an assistant to Andy Robinson, Townsend was parachuted into Glasgow at Sean Lineen's expense. That move was questioned by some at the time but Townsend has cemented his reputation as one of the most respected young coaches in the world after leading Glasgow to victory in the Pro 12. Townsend is now looking to take his talents to the international stage and has made a strong start with Scotland.
Vern Cotter – Scottish rugby has a lot to thank Big Vern for. Perhaps he has gone to Montpellier too soon and time will tell if the SRU made the right call replacing him with Townsend but he left as the most successful Scottish coach of the professional era with a 53% win rate. Cotter radically changed Scotland's approach to rugby, allowing players free reign to play the game in front of them, and taking Scotland to fifth in the World Rankings. He seemed to take Scotland to heart as much as we claimed him as one of our own. Perhaps he understood us better than any of us will ever understand ourselves. He also (allegedly) made Richie Gray kill a rabbit with his bare hands.
Scott Johnson – Johnson cuts a controversial figure amongst many Scotland fans and his time as interim Scotland coach will be recalled more for his numerous sound bites than performances on the pitch. However he laid the groundwork for Cotter's time in charge and blooded players such as Tommy Seymour, Alex Dunbar and Sean Maitland. Since then Johnson has retreated to the shadows and despite the controversy surrounding the potential loss of the 7s team, his work in getting the Academy set up in Scotland right is beginning to pay off in a big way.
Sean Lineen – It might be argued that Sean Lineen set the foundations for Townsend's success at Scotstoun. Townsend inherited a decent squad and Glasgow were competitive. Lineen went on to work with Scotland's Under 20's turning them into a side that could compete with the likes of Ireland and Wales in days before the Academy set up was firmly in place. Lineen now works on recruiting overseas players to Scotland, a controversial role but one that has brought great short term benefits to the national side.
Calum MacRae – MacRae took over as 7s coach in the 2014/15 season. At the time the 7s team had been long neglected by the SRU and just one year into MacRae's tenure looked to be on the brink of being disbanded altogether. It is credit to the work MacRae has done that the 7s is no longer under threat and is now an integral part of the SRU's player development plans, giving young players an opportunity to play in a high pressured international arena. The 7s team has also become hugely competitive under MacRae winning back to back titles in London and finishing 7th in overall rankings in 2016/17. He is now Edinburgh's defence coach.
Cult Hero Of The Decade
Girth – Geoff "Girth" Cross. The bearded behemoth. A man who seemed to love scrummaging more than life itself. Girth cemented his place as a cult hero within seconds of his debut against Wales in 2009 when he knocked himself out tackling Lee Byrne in the air and was shown the yellow card whilst being stretchered unconscious from the pitch. Girth is now a qualified GP.
Chunk – Allan "Chunk" Jacobsen was described as "an Oxo cube on legs" by the late Bill McLaren. To everyone else he will always be Chunk. An apt nickname for a man who at times looked like a throwback to the days of amateur rugby. However his outward appearance concealed surprising turn of pace and handling skills rarely found in a prop. He played some of his schoolboy career as a 10. Part Weeble, part Mighty Mouse, part Ram-Man there were few greater sights than Chunk at full pelt, shirt down to his knees, ball in hand punching holes in an opposition defence. Chunk is now a plumber in Edinburgh and continued playing for Watsonians after his retirement.
Gordy Reid – A cult hero not just for the infamous "Gordy shuffle" try celebration but for drawing parallels between Scotland and the Mighty Ducks prior to Scotland's quarter final with Australia at the 2015 World Cup. "Everyone is writing us off as underdogs. I don't care. It's awesome. Just look at the movies. It's always the underdog who wins – just look at the Mighty Ducks. We can be those Mighty Ducks." The quote spawned a series of niche memes online and will live on as one of the all time classic Scottish rugby quotes.
Sean "orange gloves" Lamont – We've already covered Lamont's contributions to the game but his services to fashion in the shape of his bleached blonde tips and orange glove combo made him hard to miss on the pitch. Lamont gamely agreed to bring back the hair in aid of charity for his last game before retiring raising over £8,000. Sadly the orange gloves remained in the drawer.
Richie "he plays where he wants to" Vernon – Back row come centre Richie Vernon has become a cult hero at Glasgow with his boy band good looks and ability to cover every position on the field. The ladies love him and the guys want to be him. And he once wrote for the blog, with tour diaries from the World Cup in New Zealand in 2011.
Big Vern – From the day he was named as Scotland coach Big Vern Cotter was a cult hero. With his steely glare and granite like build Scotland fans were simultaneously terrified and delighted with his appointment. Not since the days of Jim Telfer have Scotland players had the fear of God put in to them and BVC was rumoured to have marched the squad up a French mountain in their kit and made them kill and cook their own dinner with their bare hands. Not a man to show his emotions, the mask slipped a little after his final game at Murrayfield and a nation wept with him.
Please don't vote in the comments as they won't be counted.
Born a Souter but brought up just south of the Border in Berwick where he played for Berwick RFC as a kid any any position where cover was needed.

Can't believe Glasgow winning the Pro 12 wasn't a candidate for Moment of the Decade. I just hope we don't define the last 10 years by a match Scotland lost and due to not dealing with a line-out. I'd like to think we could celebrate and remember a time when Scottish Rugby won!
Also, are players who haven't been selected due to persistent injury issues really subject to a miscarriage of justice – more like purely unlikely.
Anyway, here's to the next 10 years full of loads of things to celebrate on the pitch.

Glasgow's omission was purely down to my poor administrative skills but we're working on a way to put it right.

An additional "Best Scottish PRO 12 championship winning team of the last decade" category ? :) :)

In my opinion the Australia game will come to be looked upon as a seminal moment when Scotland proved that they can compete at the highest level when it counts the most. Yes, we lost and yes we were cheated out of the win. However, from that moment (and it was a great game that had everything) I think a Scotland team emerged that will be stronger in the years to come. To that point I think it was the moment of the decade. On a personal note, it was the game where my son fell in love with rugby, so I'll admit I'm biased.

So, is there anywhere left in the Borders that apparently doesn't come with severe life disadvantages ?

The much-discussed low point in house sales and house prices could now be far closer than most people realise.
Analysing the Residential Property Price Ranger's (RPPR) latest figures for the Cape Peninsula, Bill Rawson, chairman of Rawson Properties, said that these show that, despite much negative comment from the public and media, prices have held up remarkably well.
Why then does Rawson suspect that the low point (which could also be the turning point before better times begin) could be approaching?
Unit sales for the last month, added Rawson, were 60% down on the same period last year – another indicator that we could be nearing the bottom of the graph.
"We are now very definitely in a new economic territory," said Rawson.
In the circumstances, said Rawson, the economy, already "more or less killed off", in his view very definitely does not need a further brake put upon on it through another interest rate hike.
He repeated, however, that now is the time to buy because unit sales are highly unlikely to go much lower than their current level and, once they begin improving house prices will respond.

Q: Dynamically Displaying both First Name and Last Name as Select Options I am trying to dynamically display both the first name and last name of people from a database. I have been successful in displaying the first name, but I am not sure of how to do this with the last name. Any help would be appreciated :)
PHP:
$swimmername_query = "SELECT * From Swimmers ORDER BY FirstName ASC";
$swimmername_results = mysqli_query($dbcon, $swimmername_query);
echo "<option value=>";
echo "Select Customer";
echo "</option>";

while ($displayname = mysqli_fetch_assoc($swimmername_results)){
echo "<option value = '".$displayname['FirstName']."'>".$displayname['FirstName']."</option>";
            }

A: You can just concat it directly in your query like so:
$swimmername_query = "SELECT *, CONCAT(FirstName, '-', LastName) AS FullName From Swimmers ORDER BY FirstName ASC";
$swimmername_results = mysqli_query($dbcon, $swimmername_query);
echo "<option value=>";
echo "Select Customer";
echo "</option>";

while ($displayname = mysqli_fetch_assoc($swimmername_results)){
     echo "<option value = '".$displayname['FullName']."'>".$displayname['FullName']."</option>";
}

Or concat the strings inside the while loop:
$swimmername_query = "SELECT * From Swimmers ORDER BY FirstName ASC";
$swimmername_results = mysqli_query($dbcon, $swimmername_query);
echo "<option value=>";
echo "Select Customer";
echo "</option>";

while ($displayname = mysqli_fetch_assoc($swimmername_results)){
    $fullname = $displayname['FirstName']."-".$displayname['LastName'];
    echo "<option value = '".$fullname."'>".$fullname."</option>";
}

A: It is better to have ID column as a value and merge firstname with lastname together in your query.
$swimmername_query = "SELECT SwimmersID, Firstname || ' ' || Lastname SwimmerName From Swimmers ORDER BY FirstName ASC";
$swimmername_results = mysqli_query($dbcon, $swimmername_query);
echo "<option value=>";
echo "Select Customer";
echo "</option>";

while ($displayname = mysqli_fetch_assoc($swimmername_results)){
echo "<option value = '".$displayname['SwimmersID']."'>".$displayname['SwimmerName']."</option>";


Rooted's Most Read: Catechisms in Youth Ministry?
2016 has been an amazing year at Rooted. God has blessed us beyond measure, not the least of which by our many wise and talented contributors. Over the next few weeks, as we move from one calendar year to the next, we hope you enjoy these "re-runs" of Rooted's most-read articles from 2016!
This past Sunday our Discipleship Class for teenagers began a 52-week journey through The New City Catechism's 52 questions. The New City Catechism was developed by Tim Keller and Sam Shammas from the Reformation catechisms. Its aim is to help teach and explain the building blocks of the gospel and to help strengthen the church's distinct identity. Keller explains one of the major purposes of catechisms is to "set forth a comprehensive exposition of the gospel—not only in order to explain clearly what the gospel is, but also to lay out the building blocks on which the gospel is based, such as the biblical doctrine of God, of human nature, of sin, and so forth." As a Reformed Baptist church, we liked that the New City Catechism is friendly to various denominations.
Among the myriad of options for Sunday School curriculum, why did we decide to teach catechisms of all things? After all, isn't this the 21st century?
No doubt, for some, the word "catechism" can have old-school connotations. Most Protestants hear it and think of the Catechism of the Catholic Church. But the truth is, catechism is a practice dating back to the times of the book of Acts with the Apostle Paul, and then on throughout church history. The word 'catechism' comes from the Greek word katechein which means to teach orally or to instruct by word of mouth. To teach using catechisms is to instruct systematically by questions, answers, explanations, and corrections. In almost all of the 16th century reformed confessions, you'll find somewhere a testimony of the importance of catechetical instruction.
The catechisms provide us with a simple and effective way to nurture our students in a concrete knowledge and understanding of the faith. I believe it is time catechisms are brought back into our families and churches and, in particular, our youth ministries.
1.) It is crucial that teenagers learn systematic theology and doctrine. In Kenda Creasy Dean's book, Almost Christian: What the Faith of Our Teenagers is Telling the American Church, she coins the term "Christian-ish." She describes how young people don't speak Christianity but Christian-ish. In her book she asserts that the difference between a Christian and an "Almost Christian" is doctrine rooted in the heart and yielding life.
2.) The Great Commission places a heavy burden on the church to "teach them everything." The catechisms/confessions give us the essentials.
4.) Catechisms provide an excellent opportunity and resource to help parents in their call to disciple their kids. By teaching catechisms in our youth ministries, parents can easily join in and reinforce learning throughout the week, helping them process and talk through what they memorize.
5.) While it is true that faith shapes practice, it is also true that practice shapes faith. These two observations reinforce each other.
I should note the potential abuses of learning catechisms. First, it is possible that one can put them above the Biblical Word of God. We must always remind our children and youth that catechisms are valuable because they serve as summary statements of what the Holy Scriptures themselves teach about a particular doctrine. Therefore, they should always serve as a kind of springboard to more effective Biblical study. Second, although learning catechisms requires work and effort, we must always remind our students that this work and effort will not earn God's acceptance – in Christ, they already have His acceptance. We must keep the gospel central, even in our teaching, learning, and practices.

I'm on the road again! Current locale: Cambodia.
Size: In terms of land, Cambodia is about 1/4 the size of Texas – it's very small for a country.
Population: About 13,000 people live in Cambodia. That's about twice the number of people who live in the Dallas area.
History: Cambodia has been a country for a long time, and the people have dealt a lot of really difficult stuff, especially in the past 40 or so years (I'll tell you more about this later).
Life here: Life for Cambodians is not like your life in America. Lots of people are very poor, and there are not a lot of opportunities to make a better life for yourself.
The people: Cambodia is called The Land of Smiles, because the people here are so kind and smiley.
In the next few posts I'm going to tell you about the food and the weather and all the things I've seen and done here. If you want me to write about anything specific, put a comment in the box below and I'll do it!
I love and miss you SO SO SO SO much!
