Chandra: What do you call a deer with no eyes? Leigh: I don't know what? Chandra: No eye-deer. - The Watson Twins, dinner party download, episode 1 .

This is how much 15,811,000 US single men spend on average according to the government in 2006.   Also I include stats for 2,923,000 san francisco 'consumer units' and the 118,843,000 US consumer units.  I think I'll do a chart of this data after I make sense of it.  I'm thinking one chart will say why SF is a spend-a-lot area versus the US average and the other chart will compare something and US single men.  I don't know what the something is yet - maybe over time?  don't know.    Food away from home  includes all meals (breakfast and brunch, lunch, dinner and snacks and nonalcoholic beverages) including tips at fast food, take-out, delivery, concession stands, buffet and cafeteria, at full-service restaurants, and at vending machines and mobile vendors. Also included are board (including at school), meals as pay, special catered affairs, such as weddings, bar mitzvahs, and confirmations, school lunches, and meals away from home on trips. 1 man avg: 1,880 US a...

If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn't be. And what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?

MySQL GUI tools review for Mac OSX: MySQL GUI Tools Bundle by MySQL: 4/10 ; you can see your db, and do any and all maintenance. Loses marks because its not a designing tool and the query tool is awful. However, this is probably the tool I will use to monitor, deploy, and maintain MySQL instances. Eclipse Database Designer by Visual Paradigm: its commercial, so skipping. Navicat  : looks very capable, but its commercial, so skipping. Cocoa MySQL : 6/10 very minimal but highly functional at the same time.  No designing mode, but I'm giving up my search and going with Cocoa for now.

Download svnx (alternate subversion  client list ) 2. Sign up for googlecode 3. Accept the new site's certificate through a terminal window ( #svn list  https://restfulauthentication-ror2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ ) - you have to do this because the certificate isn't considered valid due to the certificate non-explicit naming of the https server 4. follow the steps on wikihow for a good how-to use svn on the mac - deviate step 4 to the new google code's repository address 5. check in an RoR project by either using this shell script  (file | save as, chmod +x, etc) as y ou initially create a RoR project (it is designed for starting a new RoR project). 6. if you have a RoR project already, clean up the check in using the same methods detailed ...
