Top New York Museums
There are many top New York Museums, which ones to pick when visiting the city? With over 200 museums in New York, not to mention the countless New York art galleries it can be hard to pick. I'm not a massive museum lover, but from time to time (when it's raining or very hot) I can be found inside looking at Roman sculptures or learning about fossils. It's, of course, a personal preference, but I've made a list of the best museums in New York. I'll also give you tips on how to save time and money visiting the various NYC museums.
1 Top New York Museums
1.1 9/11 Museum
1.2 Met Museum New York
1.3 The Natural History Museum New York
1.4 Guggenheim Museum New York
1.5 MoMA – Museum of Modern Art New York
2 New York Museum Pass
3 List of Museums in New York
My list of top New York museums contains a bit of everything; art museums as well as (natural) history museums. I've also included a bonus museum that's really unique to New York as well as tips on what to do in New York when it's raining or too hot outside. If you are just looking for a list of fun museums in NYC then scroll to the very bottom.
The 9/11 Museum in New York (officially called The National September 11 Memorial & Museum but also known as Ground Zero Museum) is my number one pick because it commemorates the victims of the attacks on September 11, 2001 and 1993. I think it's a museum that everyone needs to visit alongside the 9/11 Memorial to pay tribute. The 9/11 Museum educates about the attacks but also allows room for visitors who do not directly want to be confronted with graphic images or artefacts.
9/11 Museum: $37 for adults
Location: Lower Manhattan

Met Museum New York
The Met (officially called The Metropolitan Museum of Art) is a large museum comparable to the British Museum. I can easily get lost visiting the Egyptian Art and I'm a big fan of the arms and armour on display. What I like most about the Met Museum is that there is a lot of variety, you will have no trouble finding something for everyone – or maybe you will as there is too much to see. Plan your visit ahead to save time. The great thing about Met tickets is that it also allows you to visit the two other Met museums: The Cloisters and Met Breuer. While the Met Breuer is a 10-minute walk from the famous Met steps, the Cloisters are further away and I would only recommend visiting in the spring/summer.
Met Museum ticket prices: $35 for adults

The Natural History Museum New York
The Natural History Museum New York (officially called the American Museum of Natural History) is a great museum to visit with kids. When you first enter the museum you are greeted by a dinosaur and in the Hall of Saurischian Dinosaurs (or as I like to call it the "dino room") you can learn about the great Tyrannosaurus rex. I would also make sure you see the big blue whale which is a great feature of the Natural History Museum. It also is home to the New York Space Museum: the Rose Center for Earth and Space, featuring the Hayden Planetarium.
Natural History Museum ticket prices: $30 for adults

Guggenheim Museum New York
The Guggenheim Museum New York (officially called Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum) is probably one of the most iconic museums of New York. The museum is most famous for its futuristic white building that you can't miss on 5th Avenue. It resembles a nautilus shell and is very photogenic, so if you don't want to go in you can snap a photo and have coffee nearby. The Guggenheim Museum hosts a lot of thought-provoking and edgy exhibitions and because of the design it's an easy museum to navigate through.

MoMA – Museum of Modern Art New York
The MoMA is one of the last art museums in NYC on my list. It's officially called the Museum of Modern Art. MoMA is the place to go if you would like to see work by Andy Warhol, Jackson Pollock or Frida Kahlo. The museum has a collection of modern and contemporary art. There is also a smaller museum called MoMA PS1 in Long Island City which presents more thought-proving and experimental works of art. MoMA is great to combine with a visit to Top of the Rock as it's about 10 minutes away.
MoMA ticket prices: $33 for adults
Location: Midtown West

Eric's Tip: The Tenement Museum New York is located in the Lower East Side and it's on my list as a bonus museum. I think it's a great museum to visit if you are looking to learn more about how immigrants to the city lived in the 19th and 20th centuries.
New York Museum Pass
If you plan on visiting a lot of museums and are looking for something like a museum pass for New York, then I recommend getting a discount pass. There are a lot of different options like the Go New York Explorer Pass or the New York Pass that have entrance included to the best museums in New York. Tickets to most museums are around CAD$33 so it's worth looking into which option is best for you. Some museums offer an option to 'pay as you wish' but I personally think that that's best saved for less fortunate local people. There are also days when entrance is free to a few NYC museums but I avoid these days: they will be very crowded.
Are you just looking for fun museums in NYC? If you are travelling with children or teenagers then I highly recommend the Spyscape Museum. If you want to work undercover as agent 007 or Jason Bourne for a few hours then this is the place to visit. Is it raining in New York? Then head to National Geographic Encounter for an immersive experience 'underwater'.
List of Museums in New York
There are a lot more museums in New York, here are a few others that are worth visiting:
Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum
Ellis Island Museum
Frick Collection
International Center of Photography
Museum of American Finance
Rubin Museum of Art
Skyscraper Museum
United Nations Headquarters

Q: Avoiding dataloss in Go when writing with CLOSE_WAIT socket
*

*start listening client with netcat -l

*go program opens a conn with net.DialTCP to said client.

*kill the netcat

*in go program, do conn.Write() with a []byte ->  it runs fine without error!

*it takes another conn.Write to get the error: broken pipe

The first write is the one where data loss happens, and I want to avoid.  if i only get an error I know i can just keep the data and try again later.
I've seen https://stackoverflow.com/a/15071574/2757887 which is a very similar case and the explanation seems to apply here, but it still doesn't explain how to deal with the issue, if the tcp protocol I need to implement only does one-way communication.
I've sniffed the traffic with wireshark, and when i kill the netcat, I can see that it sends FIN to the go program, to which the go program replies with ACK.  For some reason the go program doesn't immediately reply with it's own FIN - and i'm curious why that is, it might help with my problem - but there's probably a good reason for it.
Either way, from the "connection termination" section @ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmission_Control_Protocol, I conclude that the socket is in the CLOSE_WAIT state at this point, which I also confirmed with "netstat -np", which shows the socket going from ESTABLISHED to CLOSE_WAIT after killing netstat.
Looking at wireshark, the first conn.write results in a packet with push and ack fields set, and of course my payload. this is the write that succeeds fine in go.
then the old socket that used to belong to netstat sends RST,
which makes sure that as soon as i try to write in go (2nd write) it fails.
So my question is:
A) why can't I get an error on the first write? if the socket received the FIN and is in CLOSE_WAIT why does Go let me write to the socket and tell me all is fine?
B) is there any way I can check in Go whether the socket is in CLOSE_WAIT? and if so, I could for this purpose consider it closed and not do the write.
thanks,
Dieter

A: Fundamentally, a successful write only tells you that data has been queued to be sent to the other end. If you need to make sure the other end gets that data, even if the connection closes or errors, you must store a copy of the data until the other end provides you with an application-level acknowledgment.

Original Air Date: February 12, 2012
Stations Airing: AMC
Number Of Episodes In Season: 6
Jay and Silent Bob's Secret Stash is a comic book store located in New Jersey where many familiar faces from Kevin Smith's films (Clerks, Mallrats, Chasing Amy, etc.) are employed. Touted as being unscripted, Comic Book Men centers around the staff's exploits as well as trying to capture the essence of fanboy culture in the comic book world.
Overall, the first season (and by extension, the show) was interesting. but even though it's supposed to be unscripted, I can't imagine that it's NOT unscripted. Each episode fit neatly into a different theme and many customers came in with items seemingly relevant to the episodes as well. Other reality shows seem to be able to hide the scripted feeling a little better.
The best part of the show is actually the podcast portion, which is usually the only part where you get to see Kevin Smith (for those of you who are fans of his) and is also the only part of the show which feels unscripted and genuine. It's just a bunch of friends hanging out and talking about geek culture.
Getting to see all the neat back issues and rare toys and artwork is another great reason to watch Comic Book Men. The comic collector in me squeals with joy in seeing the issues that I own being haggled over on television. There is a happy nostalgia and fanboy appreciation that the show encourages and succeeds in fostering.
If you're a fan of Kevin Smith and/or enjoy Pawn Stars type of programming, or are a fan of seeing comic books and/or toys and artwork, this is the show for you. I will give the second season a chance but I will probably only do so at this point in order to check out all the rare and weird finds.

Boneshaker, by Cherie Priest (2009)

Author: Cherie Priest
I just recently started writing and reading steampunk so after Tim Powers' novel, The Anubis Gates, this was the novel I chose to tackle next.
Boneshaker, by Cherie Priest, is a steampunk adventure set in the 1800's in a semi-fictitious Seattle. There are two main characters; a mother and her son, their names being Briar and Ezekial Wilkes. Briar's former husband, Leviticus Blue, was commissioned by Russian prospectors to create an invention that would be capable of drilling through Alaska's thick ice in search of gold. On a test run, the machine that was created (called Boneshaker due to the fact that it produced bone-shaking rumbles as it was running) tore open the earth and unknowingly released a toxic gas that was later named The Blight and turned normal folks into zombie-like creatures called Rotters.
Fast forward to when Ezekial is a teenager and wants to clear his father's name of any wrongdoing. He goes into the now-walled portion of the city the blight was emanating from in search of any clues as to his father's innocence and meets lots of crazy steampunk characters on the way.
The enduring image that will stay with me of this world is that of a dirty dish sponge, yellowed and decaying on the rim of the sink as it's forgotten and sitting in a corner while a new one is used. That dirty sponge would be the Seattle of this story; largely ignored by the Federal government as the Civil War rages on. A large portion of the city has fallen underground after Boneshaker knocked out entire city blocks by crumbling its foundations in its maiden voyage. A wall surrounds this devastation as the blight gas continues to seep from the cracks in the earth, coating everything in a yellow-brown, coffee-stained color. People live underground, struggling daily just to survive.
Cherie Priest was consistently good at one thing during the entire novel, and that was imagery. While being a novel set in a world of darkness and suffering, Cherie's tone was fairly light and she had an underlying current of hope in her prose and her characters which carried through to the end.
I liked the novel and look forward to reading the other books in Priest's series, but I hope the next ones are a bit more character-oriented and I also want to see way more steampunk aesthetic aside from just the goggles and airships.

Wow, if I ever make it here I\'ll consider it mission accomplished. 23,000 feet is so high I can\'t even imagine it.
I do not believe there was an offical name given to the 7summits and 7summits club North Col camp. I like Tavern on the Col.
nice lines in this photo .. the eyes have fun discovering the scene … truly the master of alpine backgrounds!!!
The story behind "Northcol camp 2006, Everest, Tibet"
Northcol is the saddle between Everest and Changtse (Bei Peak). At a bit over 7000m/23,000ft it is higher than any mountain outside of Asia. Still there is a huge camp here as you can see, mostly as there are a lot more climbers who reach this point than the higher camps, some expeditions even end here on purpose, which is not a bad idea as within one month you can climb to this amazing place.
Fortunately there is a big iceshelf -the bright ice-triangle on the middle/right of this image- that protects the tents from the common Western Nepali winds.

The English Major at Winthrop University gives our students a broad range of educational experiences; it also encourages students to make personal choices about what they want to read and study. Most of our students will enjoy a variety of classes and topics, taking risks, experimenting with new sorts of courses each semester. Nevertheless, despite our emphasis on variety, it is possible for an individual student to design a focused course of study within the major. If you want to go on to get an M.A. or Ph. D. in Literature, if you want to hone your reading skills in preparation for law school or for work as a professional editor, or if you simply want to read and study literature as much as you can because you love it, you might consider the course pathway below.
Select multiple 500-level courses and select ENGL courses from a broad range of genres and literary periods in order to prepare adequately for the GRE.
We offer literature courses from medieval literature all the way to contemporary literature. Students may take classes that focus on poetry, African American literature, adolescent literature, Jane Austen, and more.
Save money and time by staying at Winthrop an extra year. You can take classes that count toward both your B.A. and M.A. You can find more information on the accelerated program here.

The Art of request
Проект прошел экспертизу, доступ по лицензии
How does one signal to others that help is needed? That's right, the easiest way is simply to ask for it! But one must know how to ask. So, what does an ordinary, everyday request sound like these days?
Phrases like "Could I have some water, please ", "Give me some water" and "I feel really thirsty" often lead to the same result: you will be given water. Why, then, are there so many different forms of expressing this request? In this project we will investigate the relationship between language and the reality of oral requests.
Language provides us with the means of asking for something in a variety of ways and with varying degrees of politeness.
The use of endearments (ex. my dear child, sweetie, love) when making a request goes a long way toward gaining assistance, which is given with pleasure. Words of courtesy (would you mind, could you please) awaken in the listener a measure of leniency and even gratitude toward the person asking for help. When a person asks for something politely, he shows respect for the recipient and this respect, in turn, strengthens relationships.
Sadly, we are sometimes less careful when asking for help from those closest to us. Whereas, when we are in a bad mood, irritated, or in a hurry, we usually muster up the willpower to be polite with strangers, with family and friends, we do not follow etiquette and all too often burn bridges by abrupt and disrespectful interactions and requests.
What else affects the way we ask for something? How do our educations, ages, habits, moods, and other real-life circumstances affect our speech during the making of a request?
Is there a general rule today that can help guide us when issuing requests? Is there an ideal request form suitable for all ages and relationships? How do interlocutors react to different types of requests?
We invite you to explore these questions and work together to find an answer. To take part in the project you will need to keep an ear tuned to speech patterns around you. As a result of this research we will better understand the role of language in personal relationships and, therefore, in the future we will be able to use language more effectively in relationships with others.

I initially thought of doing a whole FAQ type post on home education, but there are so many great sites out there who do this already so I am going to link to those instead.
These are specific to home education in Scotland.
Facebook is also a great resource with many supportive Home Education Groups.
Just search for them in the usual way.
