Lea Michele, Amber Riley & Dianna Agron: 'Marie Claire' Cover!
Lea Michele and Dianna Agron sandwich in their Glee co-star Amber Riley on the cover of Marie Claire's May 2011 issue.
Here's what the three actresses had to share with the fashion mag:
Amber on who her real life Kurt is: "Kurt! Chris Colfer really is my Kurt. That's my baby. Having his character at that other school – Dalton Academy – this season is driving me up the wall."
Dianna on rumors about her and Lea: "Everybody is convinced that Lea and I are in a relationship. There are forums with photos of us hugging."
Lea on auditioning for the show: (She famously got into a car accident on the way there, ditched her rental car, and ran to Fox lot) "I was more afraid that they'd think I was using that as an excuse for being late. Because at first they were like, 'Oh, my God are you OK?' But after a while they were joking, 'So that 'car crash' you were in…' I literally had chunks of glass that I pulled from my
hair and put on the table. I look back on that day and think, I can't believe I did that. I left the car on the side of the road. But something came over me."
FYI: Amber is wearing a one shoulder pleated chiffon gown by Tadashi Shoji.

View the best solar energy companies currently servicing Scandia, KS
Our 19 reviews of the 5 solar power companies servicing Scandia in 2019 shows you the best 10 local solar panel installation companies by reputation. Enter your zip code and bill into the solar cost and savings calculator above to also see the cost of installing solar with the best solar companies near you and to get free quotes if you wish.
Firstly, no solar contractors can pay to get listed at the top of our search results.
The order of our list of best solar installers is displayed based on a formula balancing reviews number and reviews score only from the last two years. If a company has a lot of reviews and a higher average reviews score, but is below another company in the list, it is because most of their reviews are old and the company above them has more reviews at a better average reviews score in the last two years (even if overall they have fewer reviews or a lower all time average reviews score).
We show all solar energy contractors that have received reviews of solar panel installation work they have done in Scandia even if they don't have an office in Scandia. There are a lot of renewable energy companies in the solar industry in the United States that service areas in which they don't have offices via contract installation teams. Some of these companies receive a lot of complaints (see the big national installers reviews like Vivint Solar, Sunrun and Solar City), but others have really good reviews and so we don't exclude them from our top solar companies lists. They often bring price competition to smaller cities where the local solar companies are so busy they need to put their prices up. It is up to you how much weight you put on a local office when choosing between solar companies.

Baptist Generals "Fly Candy Harvest Video" and Pre-order Info
Led by songwriter Chris Flemmons, The Baptist Generals of Denton, TX last released a full-length album in 2003 (about which and at the time, Pitchfork had the following to say… "The music is fragile and spiritual, sodden and boisterous. It's as if the players are seeking out loosely sewn faultlines while trying to balance decay and redemption and to escape a permanent rupture in either direction"). Due out May 21st, Jackleg Devotional to the Heart, the Generals' return to active duty is nothing short of triumphal. The Mountain Goats' (with whom The Baptist Generals are touring in June) John Darnielle received the news "…like on an 'unheard post-Marquee Moon pre-Adventure Television album discovered' level…" Take "Dog That Bit You" as supporting evidence, or the very excellent "Broken Glass," and now the video for the non-album track "Fly Candy Harvest." And, though "Fly Candy Harvest" (featured here) did not suit the album thematically and is therefore not to be found there, we have made and are giving away a limited-edition, 7" flexi single of the song with pre-orders of the CD or LP from SubPop.com (the flexi comes with a high-fidelity download of the track, too!). More from the Sub Pop Limited-Edition Department: people who pre-order the LP will receive the limited, colored-vinyl Loser Edition of Jackleg Devotional to the Heart. But act quickly, because as soon as those are gone, we're back to standard black vinyl. With your pre-order, you'll also get instant access to a stream of the entire record. Because, you know what? It's already been too g-d long since we've heard from The Baptist Generals.

TOKYO, Sept. 3 (UPI) -- The Japanese government said Tuesday it will spend 47 billion yen ($472 million) to stop radioactive water leaking at the Fukushima nuclear power plant.
Kyodo News reported the government of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe decided to address the radioactive water issue at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant as it believes the plant's operator Tokyo Electric Power Co. cannot alone handle it by itself.
Radioactive water has been building up at the site of the plant despite the cleanup effort. The plant was wrecked by the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami.
Last weekend, Tokyo Electric or Tepco said it found new areas of contamination in the compound where radioactive water from the plant is stored, and radiation levels in other areas had also increased to dangerous levels.
Massive volumes of water have been pumped into the plant to cool its reactors after the quake.
A leakage of about 300 tons of highly radioactive water from a surface tank at the plant went unnoticed for more than a month before it was discovered Aug. 19, Japan's Asahi Shimbun newspaper has reported.

The USA Pro Challenge was a significant international event televised in 180 countries, but it wound up being a very special week for a couple of riders proud to call Colorado home.
As Sunday's final episode showcased the passion Front Range communities have for endurance sports with massive crowds gathering in Boulder, Golden, Lakewood and downtown Denver, Golden native Alex Howes of Garmin-Sharp won the stage. Having suffered narrow runner-up finishes Monday and Tuesday, Howes won with an electrifying finish at the Civic Center.
Sunday's 78-mile route took Howes past the elementary school he attended (Shelton) and his high school (Golden). It took him up Lookout Mountain, a favorite of local riders, a 1,300-foot climb he has made countless times.
And when the race was done, it brought him to tears.
"The emotion that best describes it is pride," said Howes, 26, his voice cracking. "A lot of the Europeans, they don't really understand what America is. They think it's Las Vegas, New York City, Miami. To me, this is what America is. It's big, open mountains, it's little towns, it's home, it's beautiful. Just having the opportunity to show that off to the world, and my home mountain on Lookout … very proud."
PHOTOS: 2014 USA Pro Challenge, Final Stage
WATCH: Alex Howes won the final stage of the USA Pro Challenge
It was special for Tejay van Garderen of BMC Racing, too. The man who has finished fifth twice in the Tour de France attended Rocky Mountain High School in Fort Collins and lived for a time in Boulder. Now he lives in Aspen with his wife, who grew up there, and their 16-month-old daughter.
Van Garderen claimed the yellow jersey on Stage 3 with a remarkable surge to the top of Monarch Mountain and never yielded it, winning the Pro Challenge overall title for the second year in a row.
"A lot of times you're in a race, it feels like stress, you have a job to do and you've got to perform," van Garderen said. "This is just our home. It feels more like we're doing a training camp, where we have the text message, 'Hey, meet at the coffee shop at noon.' Or maybe 9. Now that I have a baby, my training starts a little earlier.
"It just felt like fun. We're riding with all of our friends here in our hometowns and home state, and it was an amazing week. It was fun to share that with all of my European teammates."
It was a good week for Boulder-based Garmin-Sharp as well. Tom Danielson finished second in the overall behind van Garderen. Howes had those second-place finishes in Aspen and Crested Butte, and Danielson was second in Saturday's grueling time trial up Vail Pass.
All those runner-up finishes gave Howes extra motivation when the moment of truth came in downtown Denver. With thousands roaring in the shadow of the state capitol, he won the stage by a wheel-length over Kiel Reijnen of UnitedHealthcare, who did the same thing to him Monday in Aspen.
"For our team to come so close, that was hard for us to take," Howes said. "The way my teammates rode out there today, with all their hearts, for me, in my home state, hometown, I couldn't lose."
Van Garderen came in as the man to beat. Over the course of 524 miles and 20-plus hours of racing, he beat Danielson — a former Boulder rider — by 92 seconds.
"He was really incredible this week, and his team was fantastic," Danielson said. "We did our best, we went for stages and we went for (the overall), and that made it very, very difficult on my teammates. But every single person stepped up, and in my opinion our second place here is a win — capped off by a win by Alex. It was a fantastic week, and I'm very proud to stand next to Tejay on the podium in second place."

Race highlights
Near-misses, then a big win: Golden's Alex Howes nearly pulled off wins in Stage 1 and Stage 2 in Crested Butte. On Sunday he gave Garmin-Sharp a huge lift by winning Stage 7.
Monarch of the tour: Tejay van Garderen made a huge push in the final kilometer to the summit of Monarch Mountain on Stage 3 to claim the yellow jersey. Then he sealed his overall win with a remarkable time trial Saturday on Vail Pass.
No place like Colorado: Crowds were massive, especially in Aspen, Colorado Springs, Boulder, Golden, Lakewood and Denver. Racers said the only other place with crowds like this are at the Tour de France.
Unforgettable farewell: Jens Voigt, 42, thrilled crowds with his crazy attacks and a near-win in Colorado Springs.

Making a program which is meant to be able to store information about students, their names, phonenumbers, certain grades etc. I'm all done with the whole program except for one small thing. I want the program to understand that if someone writes i.e. 123 in the field where they should write their name, the program should instead say it's an invalid text, it needs to be in letters. I want similar things on all options, like when the person who uses the program should write the grades, i want them to be able to write nothing except for "ig", "g", "vg", or "mvg" (Swedish grades). Started on the grades so far, can't get them to work though, it's no problem to javac the file, but as soon as I try to run it, it doesn't work the way it should (or at least the way I want it too...)
Anyway, here's the bit that I'm having problems with (sorry for the swedish):
"Betyg 1" and "Betyg 2" are the ones I have started with so far (which are the grades).
switch (Val){ case '1': System.out.println("Namn: "); String namn = Keyboard.readString(); //Want something here that makes "rules" for the name, meaning you can only use letters here. System.out.println("Personnummer: "); String pn = Keyboard.readString(); //Want this one to be able to be only digits and always exactly 10. System.out.println ("Betyg 1: "); String betygEtt = Keyboard.readString(); if (betygEtt != "ig" || betygEtt != "g" || betygEtt != "vg" || betygEtt != "mvg"){ System.out.println ("Icke giltigt betyg 1."); } System.out.println ("Betyg 2: "); String betygTvå = Keyboard.readString(); if (betygTvå != "ig" || betygTvå != "g" || betygTvå != "vg" || betygTvå != "mvg"){ System.out.println ("Icke giltigt betyg 2."); } System.out.println ("Telefonnummer: "); String tfn = Keyboard.readString(); //Want this one to be able to be only digits.
Would really appreciate if anyone could help me a little bit, at least give some tips, I'm meant to send this to my teacher tonight, really wanna get it done in time :/

Jalapeno Cheddar Cheese Sourdough Loaf
We had a good crop of jalapeno peppers growing, so I thought I would look for a good recipe to use some of them and my sourdough starter. I found the recipe below, and I really liked it. I learned some things along the way that I would do differently next time, but my husband really enjoyed it. We made tilapia piccata, grilled asparagus, and tomato/basil salad with smoked mozzarella to go along with the bread. It was really delicious. We ate outside with a great glass of wine. Heaven!

Holyfield made the shocking confession during tonight's episode of UK Celebrity Big Brother ... and an hour later he was BOOTED from the house.
The ex-heavyweight boxer told his horrified roommates ... the pregnant horse bucked him off and embarrassed him ... so he clocked it in the face.

if olajuwon, barkley, and pippen had been in their prime when they were together then id give them the upper hand. ray allen might be a little past his but KG is still in his and pierce just barely peaked. give me the '93-'94 version of the dream, sir charles, n pip(all on different teams at the time)...id take them over the kg, pierce, and ray right now.
their lack of depth hasnt showed becuz their starters are just so studly that they create such a comfy lead for their bench to look pretty good.

For a portion of our week vacation, my partner and I decided to visit the sleepy town of Stratford, ON for the first time. There is a Stratford Festival going on at this time of year and we watched a couple of plays, namely Cymbeline by Shakespeare and Elektra by Sophokles. Both were very good plays, one more so than the other, but the dolls are not interested in critiquing them as they weren't there for the watching.
|Avon Theatre
I brought three Blythe dolls to Stratford with me, Gia being the main doll to steal the show. Other than play watching, Helen and I participated in this thing called "The Chocolate Trail". It's like wine-tasting...but with chocolates! Sounds good right? We got a choice of visiting and tasting goodies from 8 out of the 20 shops that are part of this trail. I admit to expecting more interaction with the locals during this trail hopping. It wasn't always the case, though it was so enjoyable when it did occur.
I was particularly fond of the chocolate martini that was served at the Foster's Inn. It was so tasty; I wanted another. The bartender serving us was also extremely friendly. It's too bad that I didn't have the dolls with me at the time so I couldn't take a picture of them with the martini.
|Kitchen Connaisseur at downtown Stratford
The Kitchen Connaisseur was probably the shop I enjoyed the most during the Chocolate Trail. Not only were the sales associates interactive and welcoming, there was a table dedicated to tasting samples of the goodies they sell, from flavoured olive oils to sauces. They really were quite yummy! We also got to take home a complimentary jar of chocolate sauce for doing the Chocolate Trail!
|Gia and her new friend Debbie
And look, Gia found herself a new friend! Debbie saw me carrying my doll bag with Gia peeking through it. For those of you afraid of taking your dollies outdoors, fear not my friends! They're great conversation starters!
|Bebe in front of Jenn and Larry's Brittle and Shakes
Because Bebe always goes on adventures with me and Helen, this time around, she stayed mostly in her doll suitcase....except when she screamed for a piece of the limelight, as we were having a hot fudge sundae at Jenn and Larry's. The place was candy-cute. Quite fitting with Bebe's pink hair!
Overall, it was nice to get away from the city noise, even if it was just for a little while. I think my Blythes think so too....Though I must say, having three dolls to carry was somewhat of an arduous task!

burn off his pent-up energy.
"(Bell) said, `You know I'm in, right?"' Meyer recalled later.
"I said, `No I didn't know you were in. Congratulations."'
Bell's commitment to the Buckeyes was the crowning piece to a
strong recruiting class for Meyer, who was hamstrung a year ago in
his first year at Ohio State because he wasn't hired until late
November. He termed last year's recruiting, which netted several
freshmen who made solid contributions to a stunning 12-0 season, as
"a bunch of cowboys out there trying to find players."
Most major recruiting experts and publications rate the Buckeyes
in the top five in the nation – some even have them No. 1. So,
given a full year to work at it, Meyer and his staff had a huge
The group he brought in was rich in wide receivers along with
help up front and in the secondary on defense.
"We went to bed last night with three guys that were very on
edge as far as where (they were going)," Meyer said. "I thought
if we hit one out of three, that'd be all right. Two out of three
would be a good day and three out of three would knock it out of
the park. We hit three out of three, so I'm very pleased."
Bell supplied the biggest get. Rated as a five-star prospect by
most of the top recruiting services, the 6-foot-1, 190-pounder had
146 tackles and three interceptions as a senior at Ridgeland High.
On offense, he had more than 1,700 all-purpose yards and scored 21
He had been rumored to be going to Tennessee – until he pulled
Meyer out of his impromptu workout.
Unhappy with his receiving corps most of last season, Meyer
brought in potential wide-outs James Clark from New Smyrna Beach,
Fla., along with native Ohioans Gareon Conley, Darron Lee and Jalin
Marshall, and JC transfer Corey Smith.
Meyer's offense requires deep threats and players who can
stretch the field – and a defense. He said he's getting closer to
getting those weapons.
"When you run an offense where you want three or four split
guys all the time, and you only have one or two – it's not
enough," Meyer said. "We're starting to get a little bit of that
built up. We just didn't have enough make-you-miss guys on offense
(last year). I think we addressed that."
If there was an area where the Buckeyes came up short, it was
offensive linemen. They lost one senior from last year's team
(right tackle Reid Fragel) and will lose starters Jack Mewhort,
Andrew Norwell, Corey Linsley and Marcus Hall after the 2013
season. Yet they signed just Tim Gardner, a 6-5, 320-pounder from
Indianapolis, and Evan Lisle, 6-6 and 290 from Centerville, Ohio,
in this year's class.
Although they finally have last year's bowl ban behind them, the
Buckeyes are still facing NCAA-mandated recruiting restrictions
that limit them by three scholarships this year and next. Meyer
said he didn't think that would be a problem this season, although
he said even the loss of three scholarships can deprive a team of a
player who might blossom into a great contributor.
With the help of offensive coordinator Tom Herman, who used to
be an assistant coach at Rice, the Buckeyes made inroads in the
Lone Star state. They landed three prime players out of Texas in
quarterback J.T. Barrett, linebacker Mike Mitchell and running back
Dontre Wilson.
Late in the day, they added running back Ezekiel Elliott from
St. Louis as their 24th and final member of the class.
Meyer said he hopes in the future to get more players out of
Ohio and then "cherry pick" top players from the south and
Asked if he was chasing after Alabama, which has won three of
the last four national championships, and the Southeastern
Conference, which has won the last seven national titles, Meyer
didn't deny it.
He said the recruits he was pursuing at Ohio State weren't
different from the ones that the Crimson Tide and the rest of the
SEC were after.
"Us and 130 other schools (are after) guys who run really fast
and are tough," he said. "There is a little bit of a chase going
on after the SEC. That's fine. You have to give credit where credit
is due. And if that's a perception that we're chasing them, that's
fine. I wouldn't disagree with you.
"We want to increase the speed on our team a little bit."

In this noir-influenced road movie, Jake (Robert Forster) is a criminal psychiatrist who has come to the conclusion that our lives are dictated primarily by chance, and has given himself over to this notion by making most of his decision by the flip of a coin.
Sandra (Amanda Plummer) is a neurotic woman on her way to pick up her younger sister, a teenage delinquent named Alice (Fairuza Balk) when she's run off the road and left stranded by a madman named Santini (David Thewlis).
When Jake happens by and Sandra asks him for help, Sandra is lucky at first: she wins the coin toss, and he elects to help her rather than kill her.
When they have to make a stop, Sandra sees Santini's car parked by the side of the road; Santini catches Sandra as she tries to rip off some money that he's stashed in the car, and though she gets away, Santini isn't done with her yet.
Director Paul Chart probably didn't have much trouble securing Amanda Plummer for the role of Alice: Chart and Plummer were married in 1994.

'Then Again' to play at festivals. It was filmed at several locations in Taft
A feature film shot almost entirely in Taft is ready for release.
"Then Again" chronicles the struggles of a small town girl who is torn between her family loyalties and her dreams.
Director/producer Ayan Pratap wants to do a screening in Taft once the movie makes its rounds of film festivals.
"We plan on doing a screening in Taft based on our selection decision at a few major festivals," he said in an email. "We will be looking for a limited theatrical distribution deal followed by a DVD release next year."
The theatrical trailer – industry speak for a preview – will be launched soon, Pratap said, but a "teaser" is available on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dPOR9qwjWZA
Movie merchandise and a motion picture track also will be released soon.
"Then Again" is a film about a young girl's journey to discover her life's passion, exploring issues related to small towns that are faced by millions of people around the world, Pratap said.
It is his directorial debut, and he says "Then Again" is an important film "in the sense that it leaves us with a profound connection with a part of ourselves which may not have been satisfied or even explored yet."
The film explores life from the eyes of a creative person and the hurdles one's environment can create in the path of following dreams. For different people, the hurdles are different. Physical, financial, family or mental, whatever the hurdles may be, "Then Again's" focus is to give hope for people who have buried their dreams because someone said "no."
Written by Jim Suthers, the story was co-developed by Suthers and Pratap.
The film stars Aleece Jones in the lead role of Alexandria Carlson with John Michael Herndon playing John Carlson as Alex's father and Christophe' Ivins playing Chuck Crowley, the world famous photographer and prodigal son who comes back to the small mining town of Cooper Flats and inspires Alexandria to further her dream.
The feature was shot "95 percent in Taft" with a total time frame of 18 months from early development all the way through post-production and completion.
"Then Again" has been submitted to a dozen national and international film festivals for 2013 including the Sundance Film Festival.
"Making of Then Again was a true satisfying organic experience," said Pratap. "Directing the first feature is always memorable and especially when it highlights important issues in society."
He added that the movie is "an interesting blend of art and commerce, while still being a reflection of the society we live in. Every film has constraints like we did. We are happy that we were able to tell an important story with these constraints that is connecting with more and more people, which is evident in their reactions at the screenings."


text: This comprehensive exhibition explores the extraordinary life of Charles Darwin (1809-1882) whose curiosity, observations and discoveries nearly 150 years ago forever changed the perception of the origin of species and launched modern biological science. Simple yet at times controversial, misunderstood and misused for social goals, Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection theory remains unchallenged as the central concept of modern biology.In addition to his theory of evolution, Darwin is known for his work as a botanist, geologist, and naturalist. From specimens of Galápagos finches to original manuscripts and notebooks, the exhibition, on display in the spacious new Garfield Weston Exhibition Hall in the Lee-Chin Crystal, is the broadest collection ever assembled on the life and work of Darwin.

This article follows next to the Thougts about disassembling algorithms one. If you haven't read it yet then I strongly suggest you to do so, otherwise you wouldn't find any interest in the following lines.
After having gathered tips and tricks about the guidelines of the algorithms, one another interesting approach would be thinking about a modular software architecture that could properly encapsulate our algorithms, thus preparing the field for further features as:
- disassembling other instruction sets;
- interchanging mnemonics syntaxes;
- embedding the algorithms into pieces of software;
- and so on...
But let's not fall into an unterminable and boring speech and instead let's dig into our architecture.
Abstract representation of instructionsMay I recall you that I came up with four kinds of instructions, which respectively are normal, referencing, flow and hijackflow.
First and foremost, we must think about one point: what do these types have in common? One obvious property that I came up with is the total size. By saying this, I mean the size of the eventual prefix plus the size of the opcode(s) plus the size of the operands. In a nutshell, it is the size of the stream of bytes we disassembled to build one single instruction.
A referencing instruction is an instruction that, once having been decoded, appears to deal with any memory address. It can either fetch data stored at this address or jump to it; there's actually many possibilities. Just keep in mind that it has a memory address to do something with.
Starting from this statement, therefore we may establish that both flow instruction's type and hijacking flow instruction's type are referencing instructions as well.
Last but not least, it is obvious to say that an hijacking flow instruction is a flow instruction, in addition of hijacking the execution flow (unconditional jump, ret, etc.).
We have a kind of beautiful inheritance so far. HijackFlowInstruction IS A FlowInstruction, FlowInstruction IS A ReferencingInstruction, and ReferencingInstruction IS AN Instruction.
The figure 1 sum things up with an UML diagram, showing the inheritance of the classes.
Figure 1 - Inheritance among the instruction types
Binary Blocks: showing the way we ruleDo you remember the Figure 2 of the previous article? It showed what we want to do with a binary region.
A binary block is made of a reference address and the size it covers. We won't hold the content since we don't need it, moreover it would cost a lot of memory.
As we do want to distinguish code from data (how many times shall I repeat it?!) we can assume we have at least two respective kinds of blocs:
- Code blocks: these blocks will handle binary code that is meant to be disassembled with the linear sweep algorithm;
- Data blocks: these blocks will handle data.
Another probable issue regarding the code blocks would be the following one: assume you are disassembling instructions in a sequential way, registering referenced memory addresses that are likely to contain code. What if the reference address we've just computed points into an existing block? We won't disassemble the same code twice, but the instruction needs to reference another one with a label once we've procuded the final listing (I mean the source code). So we have to hold this address into the current code block. As a consequence, we will state that a code block as a list of symbols, which consists of the referenced instructions into the blocks.
Firstly, it avoids splitting a block, what could be a cumbersome operation; secondly, if the memory address points into the middle of a single instruction, then it would be considered as an invalid symbol and therefore it would result in a raw binary address in the listing, assuming that we don't know how to handle it, but we would still have a source code that produces exactly the same binary stream we've disassembled so far.
Let's focus on the data blocks now: there are many data sizes that we know, even more since we are low-level programmer. 1 byte (BYTE), 2 bytes (WORD), 4 bytes (DWORD), 8 bytes (QWORD).
For example, one would find it interesting that it could represent a DWORD instead of a stream of bytes, most especially if the piece of data is actually a binary address according to the context, etc. Therefore, sometimes, one line of:
DD 0xdeadbeef ; DD stands for Declare Double word
Would be more suitable than:
DB 0xef, 0xbe, 0xad, 0xde ; DB stands for Declare Byte
Thus our data block must handle the granularity of the data type it contains. Even though we won't especially end up with data blocks containing multiple words or dwords since we only deal with static memory addresses and don't perform symbolic execution, printing data into word or dword format would be interesting, especially if we encode, for example, a binary header into our assembly listing!
So does a data block needs to have a size attribute when it states that the pointed data is at least a word? At a first glance the answer is no, but I decided else and I will explain why.
Suppose you've previously reverse engineered the binary you want to disassemble. By any luck, you have identified valuable information that our algorithm couldn't have because it does not perform any single symbolic execution. For example, you may have spotted a callback that is dynamically computed, or a function pointers table somewhere into the memory.
One could enjoy providing the algorithms with information he has found. Actually it's already the case: you provide the entry point, but what if you could provide other information like "there's code at this address, and exactly 8 QWORDS at that address"? This could help ending up with a listing as clear as possible.
That is why we will hold the size into a word-block or a dword-block. The figure 2 shows a tiny UML diagram that summarizes what I tried to explain:
Figure 2 - Two types of blocks to handle a binary region
You may notice there's a disass() method among the three classes and I should have told you about this sooner. It is a temporary solution to disassemble a binary block since we don't disassemble a code block the same way as we do for a data block. The polymorphism magic shall operate at this point, unless I eventually find out it does not fit to a flexible architecture. Maybe the Visitor pattern shall be applied in order to separate what can be changed (algorithms) from what should not be. We'll see later.
By navigating through every single binary block that has been produced by the algorithm as well as by the user, a binary region can easily be disassembled to produce accurate results.
What's next?
I'll try to keep releasing small articles like the first ones. I am currently thinking on releasing source code as well (still nothing, damn!) with a concrete experimentation on x86 by using the libdasm project. I also checked the libasm project out - which is part of the ERESI one. Choosing the most suitable library takes a bit of time and I will try to figure this out as quickly as possible.
So, next time, I'll try to show concrete stuff out, like disassembling a x86 binary region and producing a listing. If not, then you'd be at least given some examples of what I want to do (examples of inputs and outputs) in order to understand evermore the purpose of my project.
Thanks for having read this article, feel free to drop some feedback, regardless of it's english mistakes or if you have a better sight of my non mature software architecture. :)

OrthodoxWiki was inaugurated in November 2004. It is a Dayblue Networks production, and is graciously hosted by Orthodox Internet Services. Welcome!
What is OrthodoxWiki? (i.e. what it aspires to)
- It's a wiki.
- It's a wiki-community. Personal pages and opinions are welcome as long as they are marked and in the proper place.
- It's an Orthodox mind-meld.
- A communal project.
- It's an encyclopedia
- A simple Orthodox knowledge-management system
- It has many audiences - It's a resource for non-Orthodox as well as Orthodox clergy and laity
- It's a discussion forum with attention to the development of documentation to help clarify / articulate some fundamental issues in Church Life.
Hopes to be more than a human edited directory. Wikipedia-like / Encyclopedia like articles on various topics will be considered a valuable part of this enterprise. The most fundamental aspect of all this is the consolidation of a knowledge landscape within Orthodoxy.
This project will shine in the way difficult and/or divisive topics are worked out, articulated hopefully in descriptive pro and con formats, complete with an outline of different thinkers and their arguments. A solid descriptive overview of some of these things simply does not exist, at least in English. This could be the most important contibution of this OrthodoxWiki project. This would be a push towards a constructive conversation on polemicized issues which threaten to, and in fact do, divide Orthodox Christians.

ADDISON COUNTY — With grain prices sky-high and milk prices dropping, a few family-owned Addison County dairy farms are closing their doors this fall.
Paul Audy of New Haven and John Roberts of Cornwall, both in their early sixties, cited a confluence of forces that prompted each of them to get out of the business they had been in for decades: the increasing financial challenges of running a medium-sized herd, the tumultuous market exacerbated by the dairy pricing regulations and the toll of working long hours for years on end.
MIDDLEBURY — Hospice Volunteer Services (HVS) has appointed a new leader and another key new staff member.
Meredith Stanley is the Middlebury organization's new executive director. She brings more than 25 years of nonprofit management and fundraising experience to HVS.

MIDDLEBURY — Tragically, Elise Braun spent a lot of time in hospitals during the years leading up to the April 2009 death of her daughter, Susan Sebastian, following a lengthy illness. It was an experience rendered gloomier by the bare hospital walls that surrounded the two Vermonters during the months leading up to Sebastian's death.
"Susan said to her mother, 'There are pictures in the hospitals, but none in the patients' rooms,'" said Gil Myers, a retired attorney and friend of Braun.
ADDISON — The 11th Dead Creek Wildlife Day, a family-oriented daylong celebration of the remarkable wildlife of the Champlain Valley, takes place Saturday, Oct. 6, in Addison. Most of the events are held at the Dead Creek Wildlife Management Area headquarters, on Route 17 one mile west of Route 22A.
MIDDLEBURY — Local merchants and innkeepers are always happy to see winter activities bring people from out of state to Addison County. But locals can expect more ski traffic than usual early next March when Middlebury College hosts the 2013 NCAA Skiing Championships.
Fans, coaches, parents and alums will descend on the Middlebury area for the culminating event of the college ski season. Around 150 skiers from 20 schools across the country are expected to qualify in both Nordic and Alpine competitions.
BRANDON — The Hannaford Bros. supermarket chain has purchased the building it occupies in downtown Brandon, which raises the possibility of store expansion and puts to rest an effort to build a Hannaford store south of town.
Land transfer records obtained by The Reporter confirm that Hannaford purchased the building and 10.35 acres on Supermarket Drive next to the Rite Aid pharmacy for $2.9 million on Aug. 2.
SALISBURY — The Salisbury Development Review Board is trying to solve an issue with a local dairy farmer and the housing he provides for his farm workers.
Randy Quesnel owns a dairy farm on Creek Road in West Salisbury and employs a number of farm workers who live on the property. The problem is, Salisbury Zoning Administrator Jon Filion has issued at least two notices of violation to Quesnel for housing the farm workers in inadequate quarters that violate local and state statute.

OMAHA, Nebraska (CNN) -- Dozens of calls flooded the Omaha Police Department's 911 emergency line after a gunman opened fire inside the city's Westroads Mall, with witnesses calling in tones that ranged from almost matter-of-fact to near terror.
Police make their presence known at the Westroads Mall in Omaha, Nebraska, Thursday.
"I haven't seen anything. I'm hiding in a clothes rack," a woman said after a dispatcher asked her for a description of the shooter. "I mean, there's been like 50 gunshots."
In one of the recordings, provided to CNN by the police department, a rapid burst of three gunshots can be heard, followed by two more a moment later before the line goes dead.
A dispatcher asked one caller to move away from a woman shouting in the background.
"Oh Lord God help us," the woman can be heard screaming. Hear some of the 911 calls »
"She said there is a bunch of people shot," the caller says.
Robert Hawkins, 19, killed six employees and two customers of Von Maur department store on Wednesday before turning his AK-47 rifle on himself.
Two employees remained hospitalized Thursday, one with critical injuries and one in serious condition.
A woman who called 911 before ducking into a security office in the store said she heard the gunman demand that a vault be opened near the store's customer service area.
Police have not described the shooting as a robbery attempt, saying Thursday they don't know why Hawkins chose the store as a target.
The caller described the shooter as having "a very large gun" and said he came out of an elevator on the store's third floor and began firing shots into the air.
"I heard the gunshots and I got down as soon as possible because I've got kids," she said.
Later, she told the dispatcher she'd moved into the security office -- where she appears to have seen Hawkins' dead body on a surveillance camera.
"Oh my gosh! It looks like the gun is laying over by customer service -- it looks like he might have killed himself," she said, breaking into tears. "I see him laying by the gun!"
Police said Thursday that Hawkins had had "some mental health problems," including thoughts of suicide. He had lost his job and recently broken up with his girlfriend, according to a family friend. E-mail to a friend

Ph with Lactic
What is the most acid one should use to adjust strike water and sparge water. I am using 88% solution lactic acid with a starting ph of 7.5! low sodium. Which takes about 8ml per 5gal. to adjust to 5.4ph. Will this make the calcium precipitate during sparge.

Purpose of pH adjustment of hot liquor...
No, precipitation of calcium is not the aim of water adustment. While it is true that the lowering of the pH will cause precipitation of temporary hardness minerals, it takes an extended amount of time for this to occur. In a pro brew setting this only occurs in the hot liquor (dough-in/sparge water) tank if heated and left overnight. It will not occur in a homebrew setting unless you establish the same conditions. The actual point of pH adjustment in hot liquor is to aide in proper grist conversion and reduce the extraction of tannins from the malts/grains.

Intergenerational transfers of wealth create risks and opportunities for the wealth management industry. Over the next 30 to 40 years, $30 trillion in financial and non-financial assets is expected to pass from the Baby Boomers to their heirs in North America. Navigating this latest transition will be critical.
In this report, Accenture examines the key challenges facing wealth management firms as they seek to maintain Boomer loyalty and capture the next generation of investors. Learn what sets Boomers apart from their heirs and how firms can appeal to these distinct client bases.
Right now, more than $12 trillion in financial and non-financial assets is in the process of being shifted from the Greatest Generation—those born in the 1920s and 1930s—to Baby Boomers born between 1946 and 1964. Over the next 30 to 40 years, an additional $30 trillion in financial and non-financial assets will pass from Boomers to their heirs in North America alone. At the peak, between 2031 and 2045, 10 percent of total wealth in the United States will be changing hands every five years.
Capitalizing on these intergenerational shifts in wealth will be critical for the long-term success of wealth management firms.
Most wealth management firms are unprepared for the significant intergenerational wealth transfer underway between Baby Boomers and their heirs. In fact, many firms struggle to manage the estate execution process altogether.
Did you know that only 6 percent of households use the estate planning services of their primary wealth advisor? Or that the primary cause of attrition is client deaths and the resulting asset dispersion during estate executions? In addition to retaining the loyalty and assets of Boomers, wealth management must capture the next generation of heirs.
Two key challenges stand out:
The average age of North American wealth advisors is increasing. As they near retirement, advisors may be less motivated to build foundational relationships with their clients' children.
Boomers and their heirs have different attitudes toward investing and advisors. Boomers tend to be comfortable with the advisor-led model, while their social media-savvy heirs often demand greater transparency and control.
Firms seeking to retain and capture assets as Baby Boomers transfer wealth to their heirs must:
Build family estate planning capabilities. The more that a firm knows about the plans of Boomers and their heirs, the more it can do to proactively retain their assets.
Establish go-to-market strategies for heirs. Matching heirs with relevant firm offerings now is an important step in retaining assets as they are transferred across generations.
Help clients navigate their inheritances. By supporting heirs during the difficult experience of a death in the family and making the process less stressful, firms can build relationships.

TV Networks File Legal Claims Saying Skipping Commercials Is Copyright Infringement
from the wow dept
It appears they do. Though, the legal arguments are insane.
As you may have heard by now, Fox, CBS and NBC Universal have all sued DISH in California. At about the same time, DISH itself filed for declaratory judgment in New York against those three, and ABC, who hasn't yet filed suit, but perhaps will shortly. I would imagine that all of the cases will be consolidated in one of the courts.
What's scary, however, is that the TV networks appear to be using this lawsuit to claim that skipping commercials is copyright infringement.
Where the filings go really off the wall is in basically saying that skipping commercials is infringement. They do this in the sections on "inducement," wherein they suggest that, even if DISH doesn't directly infringe, it is is inducing infringement by offering the auto commercial skip feature to users. From the CBS filing:
Users of the Hopper's PrimeTime AnyTime feature who record Plaintiff's prime-time shows and use the Hopper's Auto Hop feature to automatically skip commercials otherwise contained in those recordings infringe Plaintiffs' exclusive reproduction rights under section 106 of the Copyright Act,But this makes no sense. Recording the show for later viewing is already deemed legal. So the only difference here is the intent of the user to watch later to skip commercials. Thus, CBS seems to be saying that merely wanting to avoid commercials is, itself, direct copyright infringement. And, given that Auto Hop doesn't work until the day after the shows air, does that mean that it's legal to record the shows if you intend to watch them the same day... but the second your intention is to watch them later, it's copyright infringement? That makes no sense and has absolutely no basis in the law. And, uh, what happens if you record it with the intent to watch the next day and skip commercials... but then watch it the same day with the commercials? The allegation above says merely recording the shows with intent to skip commercials is infringement, even if you don't actually skip the commercials! That makes no sense.
Fox's filing makes similar claims, insisting that DISH is inducing infringement because it "took active steps to encourage its subscribers to use Primetime Anytime to infringe FOX's copyrights." But that's flat out malarkey. It's legal for users to time shift shows. That's established. Yet, these filings seem to want to totally ignore that, and then assume that a user watching a DVR'd s how is automatically infringing on copyright because they might skip commercials.
The argument makes absolutely no sense at all. Effectively, the networks are trying to claim inducement to infringe... but do not (and, indeed, can not) show what or who is actually infringing. Time shifting is legal. Not watching commercials is legal. So, er, where's the copyright infringement, unless you completely throw out the Betamax ruling?
The filings also go down the path of explaining how this disrupts their business model. They honestly seem to be arguing for what some people have amusingly referred to as "felony interference with a business model." They list out all the different ways they get companies and users to pay multiple times for the same content, and use that to suggest this must be illegal, even though DISH has a retransmission license and all the individual parts are legal. I honestly don't understand this argument -- they're just claiming that because they don't like how end users engage with otherwise legal content, it must be illegal. Fox even uses this to claim that DISH's offering is not "enhancing consumer choice." Apparently, in the minds of TV network lawyers, what counts as "consumer choice" is limited to what the TV networks want to count as consumer choice... and any other choices are no choices at all. Or something.
There are a few slight differences in the lawsuits. For example, Fox brings up the fact that DISH also offers the Slingbox to allow users to not just time-shift but also place shift, though fails to explain why that's an issue at all. Fox also includes a breach of contract claim, which also may be difficult to support if all of the other actions prove to be legal.
DISH's declaratory filing gives you a pretty clear sense of that company's argument, pointing out that this is a nice feature that consumers want, that this kind of technology is already widely in use, and that it's not clear how any of this is infringement.
Auto Hop is a more efficient way of achieving what consumers already do with standard DVRs. A 30-second skip feature is already standard on many DVR remote controls. It permits viewers to automatically skip ahead in a recording, at the touch of a button, completely bypassing a typical 30-second television commercial. The remote controls that come with DVRs supplied by Comcast, an NBC affiliate, can be programmed to include this 30-second skip feature. DISH has provided a 30-second skip feature for years. By pressing the 30-second skip button multiple times, a viewer can elect to bypass the full complement of commercials between show segments. Now, DISH allows the customer to opt to use an Auto Hop feature that is just an extension of this 30-second skip function. It avoids the common frustration that occurs when viewers, using the 30-second skip or plain fast-forwarding, overshoot the commercials and fastforward into the television programming content that they really want to watch.DISH also points out that skipping commercials is not illegal:
DISH's Auto Hop feature promotes consumer autonomy. Viewers have skipped commercials for decades. Viewers commonly use the commercial break as a time to get up and momentarily leave the room. Ever since the advent of the remote control, viewers have changed channels or muted the sound during commercial breaks. And, since the advent of the VCR and DVR, viewers playing back a show have fast-forwarded through commercials. DISH is simply making it easier for viewers to refuse to be a captive audience and to exercise the well-accepted choice to skip a commercial.I can't see how the networks' argument can stand very much legal scrutiny at all -- but stranger things have happened when copyright cases hit the court. Still, the arguments here are so bizarre, and so unsupportable, you have to believe a judge will reject them quickly.

How To Make a Sunburst Porch Mirror
Using a few basic supplies from your local craft store (plus some odds and ends you may already have on hand!), here's how to make your own sunburst mirror to hang on your porch or patio. I spent under $10 and just a couple of hours to make this mirror out of a simple mirrored candle plate and some wooden dowels. Follow my exact template or make your own pattern!
• Round mirror; I used a 10" mirror meant for candles (look in the candle section of your local craft store!)
• 3/16" Hardwood 12" craft dowels - around 60 (or wooden skewers would work, too!). I bought these for $0.96 per pack.
• Super glue or epoxy and hot glue (I used gorilla glue.)
• Stain (and protective seal, if needed) — or go a different direction with some brightly colored paint!
• Hanging clips and wire
• Ruler
• Strong scissors or nippers
1. Superglue the hanging clips to the back of the mirror and let cure for a good couple of hours at least. If you're going to hang this mirror on a wall that's open to the elements, a waterproof superglue is your best bet!
2. While glue is curing, stain your dowels with an old rag. I just dipped my rag in stain and quickly swiped up and down each dowel — don't forget the ends! Again — if you are hanging this in an area that is open to watery weather, you may want to coat your sticks in a protective varnish. My mirror hangs on a covered porch, so I skipped the varnish — and it has seen lots of wet weather with no problems!
3. When dowels are dry, grab a ruler and begin making your cuts. I used a pair of nippers to just pinch mine off (don't worry about rough ends — they'll be hidden!)
You will need:
- • 6 - 12" sticks
• 12 - 10" sticks
• 24 - 8" sticks
• 36 - 6" sticks
• 18 - 4" sticks
*Note that your 4" sticks can all come from the other end of your 8" cuts, and you'll only have to cut 18 sticks in half to get your 36 6" sticks!
4. Make six notches around the edge of your mirror, equidistant from each other. These will be the lines where your 12" sticks will go, and you'll place all the other sticks in relation to these.
5. Glue your 12" sticks down with the ends approximately 1.5 inches from the edge of the mirror.
6. Begin gluing the rest of the sticks down, following the pattern above. Just snug them up next to each other, and don't worry too much about spacing — mine aren't perfect, but it's not a big deal! Tip: glue in six sections, going from your 12" main sticks outward; it'll help keep everything symmetrical!
Note: My sticks have stayed secure with hot glue only, but if you're worried about stability, you can always douse the back in superglue! You could also consider attaching a round piece of acrylic or plastic over the rough ends in the back for looks and longevity.
7. When everything is dry, secure your hanging wire around your hanging hardware, and you're all set!

Several weeks ago, I was talking to a friend, one who's been on this boat, bought the t-shirt and lived to tell about it. I was telling her that my cycles have been more or less regular since delivering H (and the post-baby surgeries to correct my banged-up uterus), and that we were "trying" for #2 but I wasn't quite sure about ovulation. That I had tried to use an OPK one month but I got tired of peeing on sticks and stopped doing it before I ever got a positive.
She sort of looked at me sideways. I think she saw right through it. She asked me: Didn't I owe it to myself to really try? Didn't I have as good a chance as anyone else? And even though really trying might bring disappointment, wasn't a chance of success worth that gamble?
I consider myself a pretty self-aware person. I exposed my every emotion in a raw and real way, put everything out there on the Internet, as I worked on baby #1. It didn't exactly take Freud to figure this out but I really didn't see it before this conversation: I was afraid to give it a real try. Afraid of going all in. Afraid I was pushing my luck. Afraid of what it would mean to hope again. Afraid I couldn't stay detached if I allowed myself to hope. And afraid of feeling foolish if that hope was ultimately in vain.
Afraid, afraid, afraid.
There are times when fear is unavoidable, and there are times when it just isn't practical. In this case it's both, and I need to feel the fear and do it anyway. Because as in H's much-loved book about the family bear hunt, there's no way around this one but through it. There's no way to try for a baby except to really try, and that will bring both possibility and the possibility of disappointment.
Having recognized all of the above and realizing that my RE appointment at the end of August is nearing steadily, I bought myself an OPK early this month and peed dutifully, every day, beginning on day 12. On the evening of day 16 I got a positive result. This is good, because as we all know you can still get your period without ovulation, even though I went for months without one before H so I figured the presence of a regular one was a good sign.
Anyway, we -- um -- timed everything accordingly, so this month I would say was the first where I could say a genuine, full-hearted attempt was made. I've seen that some of you have had positive HPTs starting 9 DPO so I tested yesterday (negative). So I guess there's still a possibility this month, though I'm certainly not putting any money down on it.
How am I feeling? A good question to ask. I liked to think I was above the whole "thing" this time -- the whole getting swept away by it thing. I am learning that the reality is it's impossible to want another baby, try for one and have a decent chance at it, and then not be at least slightly disappointed to see a single pink line. I want to believe in the possibility of this, believe that the whole concept of natural reproduction can be redeemed by the way this one plays out for me.
I would love it if this would work, but have promised myself not to dwell on it if it doesn't. Because I've got a napping toddler upstairs, living proof that there's hope beyond the old college try.

A Change Will Do You Good?
I'm having an odd existential moment that reminds me, not in an entirely pleasant fashion, of my college years. Having just turned 35 on Saturday, you'd think this would be welcome, but in the end, the thing that's supposed to be so nice about 35 is that you can finally unload all the angst. So, not really.
But before I go on, I just need to tell you the song that's going through my head, because of course when you're having an angsty moment, you need a soundtrack from those eight years of high school and college. The song is "I'm trying to tell you something about my life, maybe give me insight between black and white...the best thing you've ever done for me is to help me take my life less seriously...it's only life after all. (Yeah.)." Name that tune! Maybe now it will stop playing over and over, although to be fair, if you're going to have a song on mental repeat that's not a horrible one to have.
Anyway, when last I whined to the Internet, I was trying to sell our house and thought THAT was the stressful part.
The house sold. I was wrong.
The stressful part is actually trying to figure out where the hell to live when you have a child whose entire future seems to hang in the balance of that decision. Where will he get the best education? Where will he find really good friends? Where will he be happy?
So basically, when faced with the above questions, one option is to totally shut down and not make the decision at all, which is essentially what we've done. We're in temporary housing for the summer, ostensibly while we figure out where to live and actually buy a house, but for now, it seems, to buy us time to agonize about it some more. We're really good at that.
Meanwhile, one of our cats, who was adopted just a month after we got married nearly 11 years ago, died on July 4. Losing a pet absolutely sucks. It feels horrible and sad and helpless and is strange to mourn. There's really nothing else to say about that other than that it's contributing to all the change that is making me so angsty.
My husband's job is sort of in a weird time and place since his company was bought by a major, household-name company. His group seems to be coming unraveled and we just don't know what that means for his future there. Another possible change.
Oh, and I've got baby #2 on the brain. Not anywhere near in the same way that baby #1 was on the brain, but it's there. I'm 35 now officially, and I get that people have babies much older than that, but as established before, we're already dealing with a known fertility issue. So I've been trying to figure out my cycle (which continues to be regular, miracle of miracles) and really give it a serious try (more on this later) before we meet with my doctor in late August.
And last but not least, there's H. He changes every. Single. Day. Another word, a new awareness of something. A whole new way to interact with him, really talking to him and having him listen and communicate back. At 17 months he really feels like a little person now, and it's thrilling and scary and joyful and sad all at once.
So all this change is adding up to major anxiety, because unlike most evolved humans I am terrible at dealing with it, even though my easily bored mind would seem to welcome it. That's why I've been a little MIA, a little paralyzed by all these things I need to process and decisions I need to make and therefore a little driven to hibernate and try to figure it all out.

Home of the world's largest waterfall
The Zambezi is the fourth-longest river in Africa, and the largest flowing into the Indian Ocean. The 2,574 km long river has its source in Zambia and flows through Angola, along the borders of Namibia, Botswana, Zambia, and Zimbabwe, to Mozambique, where it empties into the Indian Ocean.
The Zambezi's most spectacular feature is Victoria Falls, the world's largest waterfalls.
The river supports large populations of many animals. Hippopotamuses are abundant along most of the calm stretches of the river, and many crocodiles are also present. Monitor lizards are found in many places. Bird life is abundant, with species including heron, pelican, egret and African Fish Eagle present in large numbers. Riverine woodland also supports many large animals, such as buffalo, zebras, giraffes and elephants.
The Zambezi supports several hundred species of fish, some of which are endemic to the river. Important species include cichlids which are fished heavily for food, as well as catfish, tigerfish, yellowfish and other large species.
Current threats
Sewage effluent is a major cause of water pollution around urban areas, as inadequate water treatment facilities in all the major cities of the region force them to release untreated sewage into the river. This has resulted in eutrophication of the river water and has facilitated the spread of diseases of poor hygiene such as cholera, typhus and dysentery.
The Kariba Dam and Cahora Bassa Dam have reduced flooding of the Zambezi and have disrupted fish, bird and other wildlife feeding and breeding patterns. The dams have also interefered with traditional farming and fishing patterns.
As regular flooding has been reduced, people have inhabited floodplain areas, but these areas are still inundated in an extreme flood event – this has resulted in greater loss of life and damage to propert than was previously experienced.

Livelihood facts
Many people rely on the river for fish. About 80% of the population of the valley is dependent on agriculture. Mining and hydropower are big industries in the Zambezi basin.
