We Are Our Mothers' Daughters: Revised and Expanded Edition





In this tenth-anniversary edition of We Are Our Mothers' Daughters, renowned political commentator Cokie Roberts once again examines the nature of women's roles through the revealing lens of her personal experience. From mother to mechanic, sister to soldier, Roberts reveals how much progress has now been madeâ€"and how much further we have to go. Updated and expanded to include a diverse new cast of women, this collection of ess ays offers tremendous insight into the opportunities and challenges that women encounter today.

In a series of new profiles and revealing updates, Roberts reflects upon the number of female achievers who have graced the public stage in the past decade. In addition to the illuminating and sometimes surprising history of women in a variety of fields, several chapters also introduce us to some of the fascinating women she has encountered during the course of her reporting careerâ€"including Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, Laura Bush, Billie Jean King, Michelle Rhee, and Dorothy Height. Looking into the future, Roberts focuses on the question of "What next?", exploring how several womenâ€"including herselfâ€"have begun to define themselves in the next stages of their lives. She also relates moving anecdotes about the women in her personal life, including her mother, former congresswoman Lindy Boggs.

Sensitive, straightforward, and perceptive, We Are Our Mothe rs' Daughters celebrates the new diversity of choices and perspectives available to women today and affirms the bonds of sisterhood over the centuriesâ€"a vital, powerful interconnection among all women, regardless of background.

Like any journalist worth her salt, renowned news correspondent Cokie Roberts knows how to ask the tough questions. In We Are Our Mothers' Daughters, she poses what has long been a real doozy: "What is woman's place?" As you might guess, her answer is manifold, reflected by the table of contents, which reads like the Career Day schedule at a progressive girls' school: Sister, Politician, Consumer Advocate, Aunt, Soldier, First Class Mechani c, Friend, Reporter, Civil Rights Activist, Wife, Mother/Daughter, Enterpriser. Roberts makes no claims about this being groundbreaking research, or even an exacting investigation, rather, she explains that these are simply her own stories, and those of women she has come in contact with at different times and places in her life.

Having graduated from Wellesley College in 1964, Roberts explains that the women of her generation were pioneers in many ways--especially when it came to career and workplace issues: "We were the first wo men at almost everything we did, and most of us often had the experience of being the only woman in the room." Accordingly, many of her essays are political in nature: the passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act (which included "sex" as a prohibited discrimination category by virtual accident); the work of consumer advocate Esther Peterson; and the history of women in the military. But for Roberts, it's clear that the personal is political, and many stories, while not overtly activist--her older sister's death, her circle of female friends, and her experiences as a wife, mother, and reporter--reveal the importance she places on a united community of strong women. Using clean, compelling language throughout, Roberts compiles these different stories to reveal a thread of continuity running through the fabric of women, summarizing, "We are connected throughout time and regardless of place." She ends with a message of encouragement for young women--that we need only look as far as our foremothers for inspiration. --Brangien Davis, Amazon.com Kids Editor

Her New Daddy, an erotic novel (erotica)





Sometimes Mothers and Daughters share more than secrets…

A teen just coming into her own and her new daddy, her handsome, rugged stepfather make for a heady sexual attraction that cannot be denied…for long…



Excerpt:

There was a knock at her bedroom door.

"Come in," said Brenda.

The door opened, and her seventeen-year-old daughter stepped into the room, smiling. "Hi, Mom," said Kaylie. "I just came to see if you needed help getting dressed."

Brenda felt a wave of love for her pretty little daughter. Kaylie looked just like her, except of course that her figure was still developing - and she had Billy's big green eyes, not Brenda's dark brown slanted eyes.

Kaylie was half a child, half a woman, still only five feet, 2 inches tall, her body slim but curvy, less like a boy's every day, it seemed, her tiny breasts just the size of lemons but budding. Soon, her breasts would blossom, too. She wore her brown hair short and curly. She was a pretty little thing, and soon she'd be a beautiful young woman.

"Why, thank you, darling," said Brenda. "You can help me do my hair."

Brenda put on the neat blue suit she'd chosen to be married in, then sat down at her dresser. Kaylie picked up the brush and began brushing her mother's long gleaming brown hair.

"You look so pretty, Mom," she said.

"Thank you, Kaylie," said Brenda. "I just hope I'm doing the right thing. Most of all, I hope Hal will be a good father for you."

"Oh, he will be," Kaylie said earnestly. "I really like him a lot, Mom. He's a nice guy."

Brenda sighed with relief. At least things would be good for Kaylie, even if Hal proved to be a bad lover. Kaylie was more important to her than anything ...

Top-selling MVC book from a top team at Microsoftâ€"now fully updated!

ASP.NET MVC 2.0 is now available and shipping with Visual Studio 2010 and .NET 4. A new update to Microsoft’s Model-View-Controller technologies, MVC 2 enables developers to build dynamic, data-driven Web sites. Professional ASP.NET MVC 2 shows you step-by-step how to use MVC 2. You’ll learn both the theory behind MVC 2, as well as walk through practical tutorials, where you’ll create a real-world application. Topics include transitioning from ASP.NET development, as well as an overview of related tools and technologies, including LINQ, jQuery, and REST.

This book is divided into two very broad sections, each comprising several chapters.

The first half of the book is concerned with introducing the MVC pattern and how ASP.NET MVC 2 implements that pattern.

Chapter 1 "NerdDinner" uses a small but complete application to walk you through how to build an ASP.NET MVC 2 application and some of the core concepts behind ASP.NET 2 MVC. 

Chapter 2 "Model-View-Controller and ASP.NET" starts off with a description of the Model-View-Con troller pattern, explaining the basic concepts of the pattern and providing a bit of its history. The chapter goes on to describe the state of the MVC pattern on the web today as it is implemented by various frameworks, such as ASP.NET MVC 2.

Chapter 3 "ASP.NET > ASP.NET MVC" then covers the ways that ASP.NET MVC is different from ASP.NET Web Forms.

Chapter 4 "Routes and URLs" digs deep into routing to describe the role that URLs play in your application and how routing figures into that. It also differentiates routing from URL rewriting and covers a bit on extending routing and writing unit tests for routes.

Chapter 5 "Controllers" takes a look at controllers and controller actions-what they are, and how to write them. It also covers action results, which are returned by controller actions and what they are used for.

Chapters 6 "Views" and 7 "Ajax" cover views and view engines, and then add a little flavor on top by examining the role that AJAX plays in your views.

The second half of the book focuses entirely on advanced techniques and extending the framework.

Chapter 8 "Filters" goes into detail on action filters, which provide an extensibility point for adding cross-cutting behaviors to action methods.

Chapter 9 "Securing Your Application" covers security and good practices for building a secure application.

Chapter 10 "Test Driven Development with ASP.NET MVC" provides a brief introduction to Test Driven Development (TDD) as it applies to ASP.NET MVC.

Chapter 11 "Testable Design Patterns" shows you real-world patterns and practices for building applications that are testable.

Chapter 12 "The Best of Both Worlds: Web Forms and MVC Together" discusses how Web Forms and MVC work together.

Chapter 13 "What's New in ASP.NET MVC 2" covers what's new in MVC 2.

This book is for web developers who are looking to add more complete testing to their web sites, and who are perhaps ready for "something different."

In some places, we assume that you're somewhat familiar with ASP.NET WebForms, at least peripherally. There are a lot of ASP.NET WebForms developers out there who are interested in ASP. NET MVC so there are a number of places in this book where we contrast the two technologies. Even if you're not already an ASP.NET developer, you might still find these sections interesting for context, as well as for your own edification as ASP.NET MVC may not be the web technology that you're looking for.

Cartooning
by nerosunero

Question by Heather H:

What can you do with a cartooning major?



Today's economy is very terrible and I've always wanted to draw for either comic book/animation/ or video game companies.

Please, for those of you out there who are aware of what a cartooning major is about then I ask for your advise. What jobs can I pursue with this major that will not cause me to go freelance (though I would still like to hear what freelance work has to offer). Thank you.




Best answer:

Answer by jplatt39
Bluntly, there is NO career path in cartooning which will not force you to go freelance at some point. Even most strip cartoonists will be self-employed and deliver their strips to the syndicate. And over the long term, comic strips, of which there are not many, are the best job security -- comic books and many animation houses PREFER people under forty. All in all the bottom line is that cartooning is itself a lousy job. Drawing, including cartooning is better. Many people I've known who went into the business in the seventies and eighties are now teaching. Including one or two who went here:

http://www.kubertsworld.com/kubertschool/KubertSchool.htm

It is I'm told a very very good school. Somehow that is not surprising: Kubert was and is an amazing draftsman, even if his gruff renderings take getting used to.

Short term, cartooning ca n be a good career. Long term, no. You might as well go direct to teaching or Advertising.

Vita: An Erotic Thriller







"VITA'S AN OVER-SEXED LISBETH SALANDER!"
--Reader Lovie Bartel
Bala Cynwd, PA


During a party at a hilltop penthouse above Athens, the president of Credit Suisse suffers a bloody, fatal hemorrhage. Murder is not suspected. Nor do bodyguards take note of a handsome young man who--in reality--is the ingeniously disguised wife of the American ambassador. Only the diplomat himself is aware that his beautiful, second young wife is hell-bent on bringing him to ruin...with her "artistic" and undetectable murders of his closest friends.

Vita leads the ambassador's operatives on a chase through the souks of Cairo, Red Sea diving resorts, and riot-torn streets in Los Angeles. In this tale of misplaced love, a husband, a mother, and two lovers mesmerized by beauty and talent and liberated sexual aggressiveness endure more suffering than puny death can inflict.

FROM CHAPTER 2:

"He had been warned that she was an unknown, and for an ambassado r-designate a choice full of risk. He wanted to prove that he'd made a glittering, correct choice. He'd found a new young wife of beauty, talent and elegance, whose name itself referred to hymns of praise: Hindu Vitas contain the supreme sacred knowledge of which aristocratic Brahmins are the sole guardian and interpreter. Vita was perfect, were it not for the one truth her husband had refused to see--she was a freak! Her grace, her bearing, her authority were the result of simply being a superb actress."


WHAT EARLY READERS ARE SAYING:

"Dr. Hannibal Lecter would be proud to call Vita a daughter of his own."
--E. Brown
Long Island, NY

"This novel is crotch-candy! Agatha Christie murder puzzles & exotic locations, plus dollops of hot sex."

--M. Vinicor
Chicago, IL

"...BRIDGES OF MADISON COUNTY' for the jaded, the decadent."
--L. Brady,
Pensacola, FL

"...I was nauseated by this parade of mental and physical perversion. How could anyone consider this disgusting piece of filth to be entertainment? It shows the author's contempt for ordinary decent people."

Se habla español (Spanish Edition)





Se habla español smells like french fries, tastes like Coca-Cola and hamburgers, but it also has the flavor of nachos and salsa, and of mango-guava smoothies. This collection of short stories reflects the Latin American experience in the United States. These are works by 36 young writers who entered the literary world during the ’90s with a style described as serious, yet irreverent. Edited by Edmu ndo Paz Soldán and Alberto Fuguet, it explores the space occupied by the United States within the Latin American cultural imagery. It illustrates the contradictions presented by the dream of material progress and the nightmare of ruthless capitalism, and the fulfillment of all desires over the mirage of a never- attainable promise.

Blurb in Spanish: Se habla español tiene el aroma de french fries, el sabor a Coca-Cola y hamburguesas, pero también a nachos y salsa, a cortaditos y smoothies de mango-guayaba.

El libro, compilado por Edmundo Paz Soldán y Alberto Fuguet, explora el lugar que ocupa Estados Unidos en el imaginario cultural latinoamericano. Asimismo, ilustra las contradicciones del sueño del progreso material y la pesadilla del capitalismo salvaje, y cuestiona la satisfacción de los deseos a la luz del espejismo de una promesa que no cesa de alejarse.

A few nice International images I found:

Cumulonimbus Cloud Over Africa (NASA, International Space Station Science, 02/05/08)

International


Image by NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center

Editor's Note: Due to popular demand, I'm going to start uploading high-rez versions of the Earth images, unless Flickr Pro gets too full. :)

Cumulonimbus Cloud over Africa is featured in this image photographed by an Expedition 16 crewmember on the International Space Station. Deemed by many meteorologists as one of the most impressive of cloud formations, cumulonimbus (from the Latin for "puffy" and "dark") clouds form due to vigorous convection of warm and moist unstable air. Surface air warmed by the Sun-heated ground surface rises, and if sufficient atmospheric moisture is present, water droplets will condense as the air mass encounters cooler air at higher altitudes. The air mass itself also expands and cools as it rises due to decreasing atmospheric pressure, a process known as adiabatic cooling. This type of convection is common in tropical latitudes year-round and during the summer season at higher latitudes. As water in the rising air mass condenses and changes from a gaseous to a liquid state, it releases energy to its surroundings, further heating the surrounding air and leading to more convection and rising of the cloud mass to higher altitudes. This leads to the characteristic vertical "towers" associated with cumulonimbus clouds, an excellent example of which is visible in this image (right). If enough moisture is present to condense and continue heating the cloud mass through several convective cycles, a tower can rise to altitudes of approximately 10 kilometers at high latitudes to 20 kilometers in the tropics -- before encountering a region of the atmosphere known as the tropopause. The tropopause is characterized by a strong temperature inversion where the atmosphere is dryer and no longer cools with altitude. This halts further vertical motion of the cloud mass, and causes flattening and spreading of the cloud tops into an anvil-shaped cloud as illustrated by this oblique photograph. The view direction is at an angle from the vertical, rather than straight "down" towards the Earth's surface. The image, photographed while the International Space Station was passing over western Africa near the Senegal-Mali border, shows a f ully-formed anvil cloud with numerous smaller cumulonimbus towers rising near it. The high energetics of these storm systems typically make them hazardous due to associated heavy precipitation, lightning, high wind speeds and possible tornadoes.

Family Therapy: Concepts and Methods, 9th Edition





Family Therapy: Concepts & Methods is the definitive, classic in the field and covers all the major schools and developments in Family Therapy.

 

Just some of the features that make this book so widely used -

  • Brief biographies and photos of some of the leading family therapists of the twentieth century 
  • Extensive coverage of professional ethics, reflecting the need for students to have increased awareness of professional issues in family therapy
  • Unique issues family therapists encounter when providing home-based services
    Latest research and data - often before th at research is published in other forums
 
The Ninth Editon continues this tradition with many exciting revisions including:
  • several new case studies
  • a new summary of major theoretical concepts
  • a new section on working with common forms of family trianges
  • new sections on Sex and the Internet and Neuroscience and Relationships
  • and much more!
 From the Preface -

"One thing that tends to get lost in academic discussions of family therapy is the feeling of accomplishment that comes from sitting down with an unhappy family and being able to help them. Beginning therapists are understandably anxious and not sure they’ll know how to proceed. (“How do you get all of themto come in?”) Veterans often speak in abstractions. They have opinions and discuss big issuesâ€"postmodernism, narrative reconstructionism, second-order cybernetics. While it’s tempting to use this space to say Important Things, I prefer to be a little more personal. Treating troubled families has given me the greatest satisfaction imaginable, and I hope that the same is or will be true for you."

So far I have read that the Information systems development process includes phases of implementing an operational database.

But I don't know how that relates to the Database Development Process as a relationship between the two.

Please help!

The database development process produces the data model that specifies the operational database for the information system. The data model is usually the most important artifact for an information system.
