Steam rising from the pot was my pride and joy, tomato sauce bubbling up in the saucepan my one great hope in life."

Blunt warning about greens under the bed | Antonia Senior - Times Online

Blunt warning about greens under the bed | Antonia Senior - Times Online: "Britain is, thankfully, an ideologically barren land. The split between Right and Left is no longer ideological, but tribal. Are you a nice social liberal who believes in markets, or a nasty social liberal who believes in markets? Anthony Blunt’s memoirs, published this week, reveal a different age, one in which fascism and communism were locked in a seemingly definitive battle for souls.

Blunt talks of “the religious quality” of the enthusiasm for the Left among the students of Cambridge. There is only one ideology in today’s developed world that exercises a similar grip. If Blunt were young today, he would not be red; he would be green."

10 Business Lessons I Learned from Playing Dungeons & Dragons | JavaWorld's Daily Brew: "Throughout my 20s and 30s, I played D&D and other fantasy role playing games at least once a week.

George Washington's Rules of Civility and Decent Behavior @ Foundations Magazine

George Washington's Rules of Civility and Decent Behavior @ Foundations Magazine: "By age sixteen, Washington had copied out by hand, 110 Rules of Civility & Decent Behavior in Company and Conversation. They are based on a set of rules composed by French Jesuits in 1595. Presumably they were copied out as part of an exercise in penmanship assigned by young Washington's schoolmaster. The first English translation of the French rules appeared in 1640, and are ascribed to Francis Hawkins the twelve-year-old son of a doctor."

Reverse Engineering a Data Model using the Oracle Data Dictionary

Reverse Engineering a Data Model using the Oracle Data Dictionary: "All of the above tables (the USER_* tables) only contain objects defined by the current Oracle user. Oracle also maintains a set of tables of identical structure that start with ALL_*. These show you every object that you have access to, regardless of whether you created that object (e.g., our beloved friend DUAL). Similarly, Oracle provides DBA_* tables that contain info about all users' objects, but this group of tables is only accessible to the database administrator."

Bootleggers and Baptists � Brad Taylor’s Blog

Bootleggers and Baptists � Brad Taylor’s Blog: "Indeed, the pages of history are full of episodes best explained by a theory of regulation I call “bootleggers and Baptists.” Bootleggers, you will remember, support Sunday closing laws that shut down all the local bars and liquor stores. Baptists support the same laws and lobby vigorously for them. Both parties gain, while the regulators are content because the law is easy to administer."
