Week 52 by my reckoning must mean we are at the end of the year. I think I will save my review of the year for next weekend, but this week I will have a look at how I failed to achieve any of the goals I set out at the beginning of the year, but try not to beat myself up too much about it!
I had hoped I could get down to some serious family history last week, but that didn't really materialise. Like the week before, I did a lot of thinking about family history but never really got around to doing anything about it. I did get the death certificate for John FAIRS ordered and received it by the end of the week, but that was about the limit of my family history.
Much of my thinking has been around what I am doing next and in the future. At the moment my research is lacking focus, I am really only working on one project at the moment (the housekeeping of my database) and that is not particularly exciting at the moment. My to-do list is growing, but I am not getting chance to explore much further. I feel I should be digging deeper and making opportunities to do more research.
This week, as well as looking back, I need to decide what I am going to try to accomplish in 2011. One plan has already had to be set back because Carlisle Record Office is now due to open in April next year, not January. I think my plan will be to continue with my housekeeping and see where that leads, but try to schedule in at least one day a month to visit an archive and clear some items off my to-do list.
With a couple of days off this week I hope I can get some more research done, but in reality I ought to be spending a large proportion of that time sorting out other non-genealogy stuff, but I will see how it goes.

Ola Hitt was one of Aiken's most recognizable faces.
"Miss Ola" as she was known to many, who was not only a centenarian, but a fixture in Aiken, renowned for her contributions and participation in a number of activities, died on Friday at the age of 103.
However, her impact on others was far reaching. Hitt's selflessness, altruistic nature, sense of history and empathy for others and their problems, brought her great respect from those within the community.
A woman known to many in the area as the "Mother of Veterans," Hitt opened her home to disabled veterans for more than three decades, to those who could live independently, from a number of wars, said Elliott Levy, Aiken County Historical Museum executive director.
"This was a woman who used her house to help G.I.'s and veterans," said Levy. "She set up this house in 1960, for guys who were World War II veterans and Korean War veterans, who, after 15 years, still couldn't put their lives together. She took them on field trips and gave them back their lives."
A woman of great energy, who was deeply passionate about her community, Hitt was a past president of the Aiken Historical Society and a member of the Business Women's Club.
But it was her patriotism, the role her family played in the nation's history and Hitt's passion for the past that made her one of the most beloved people in a community renowned for its appreciation of yesteryear and antiquity.
Allen Riddick knew Hitt for more than a quarter of a century and marveled at her indefatigable spirit.
"She'll be missed by a lot of people," said Riddick, Aiken Historical Society president. "She was just a fun person to be around."
And it was while Hitt was serving as the Grand Marshal of the City of Aiken's Memorial Day parades that she would leave an indelible impression on the crowds gathered on either side of Laurens Street. They could be found sitting in their chairs, gazing at the floats and other units along the parade route, children with pinwheels in hand, as Hitt's radiant warmth and grin would create a feeling of comfort and belonging.
"I'd always get a picture of her," said Riddick, with a chuckle. "There won't be a another one like her."
Hitt's influence and impact on others resonates loudly through the CSRA, as it was through her spirit of altruism and unwavering commitment to help others that her memory will be forever held with the most venerable esteem.
"She was a wonderful person," said Levy. "When she opened her house to those veterans, it wasn't for money or personal gain, it was because she had this compassion."
One of the field trips Hitt embarked on found her going to the Southern Hemisphere as she accompanied one of those veterans, a serviceman who was from Argentina, back to the country of his birth.
"One of the young men who was staying in the house was from Argentina, and they thought he had died during World War II," said Levy. "They had a reunion there, and they didn't know that he was still alive. She took people to South America, central America, Alaska and a number of different places."
A very humble and modest person, Hitt's warm and demure personality brought out the best in people, and her enthusiasm and optimism for life was palpable. She was a member of the United Daughters of the Confederacy, the Mayflower Society, the First Families of Massachusetts and the Genealogical Society.
Harry Sampson, St. John's Methodist Church director of staffing and planning, referred to Hitt as a unique individual. He was amazed at her outstanding memory, intellect and willingness to help others.
"My wife's family is from Aiken, and she would always ask about them," said Sampson. "She would know the name of everyone who would walk into the room."
But it was Hitt's kind gesture – one she made before her death – in which she willed her house to St. John's, an act of kindness demonstrative of her support for the community.
"We have first right of refusal on the house," said Sampson. "We've held Sunday school classes for the past three or four months in the house, and we have permission from the City to have confirmation classes meet in there. She contributed a great deal, always supportive of St. John's. She would come to our activities and knew all the pastors."
It was those same character traits, her sense of purpose and ability to make those lives around her more meaningful that at times served as a mechanism to provide her with unwanted attention.
However, that did little to dissuade others for recognizing Hitt for her virtuous efforts.
The Aikenite received the Order of the Palmetto in 1990 at the First Baptist Church, with the award being presented by U.S. Sen. Strom Thurmond. Gov. Carroll Campbell also proclaimed the day Ola Hitt Day.
The plaudits she received were many from having Ola Hitt Lane on Whiskey Road named in her honor, to having a statement recognizing her 100th birthday, acknowledging her contributions to the community, read into the Congressional Record by U.S. Rep. J. Gresham Barrett.
"I was honored to be the Master of Ceremonies at her 100th birthday," said Levy. "She had a street named after her because she was special."

Friends of Ola Hitt gathered at Trinity Lutheran Home Monday to celebrate her 101st birthday. The party was thrown by the Daughters of the American Revolution. Hitt is front and center holding a plush white teddy bear given to all Trinity Lutheran Home residents on the occasion of their birthday. Aiken Mayor Fred Cavanaugh took Hitt some tulips and said, "Boy, what a wonderful lady she has been and still is. I don't know anyone who I admire more." Esther Cope with the DAR said Hitt is a grand example of a true Southern lady because she has impeccable manners, is dignity personified, has a great amount of spunk while holding the respect of those around her and stays true to Southern class. Hitt's Chesterfield Street home served for many years as boarding house for injured WWI and WWII veterans.×

Many young men and women dream of achieving an appointment from one of the service agencies.
Let's just say that Adrian Coleman has surpassed his most hopeful dreams. The South Aiken High School senior and honor student has been accepted to West Point, the Air Force Academy and the Merchant Marine Academy.
Just for good measure, Coleman has been accepted into the Naval Academy's prep school and is on the academy's waiting list. He also has been offered a full scholarship to The Citadel.
His military interest comes naturally. For the last four years, Coleman has served as a cadet and officer with South Aiken's Naval Junior ROTC unit.
Coleman and his mother, Jennifer Burkett, are grateful for the support of S.C. Rep. Jeff Duncan, R-S.C., and U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C. Duncan nominated him for all four academies, and Graham did so for the Merchant Marines.
"I was hoping to hear from one of the academies," Coleman said, "and I didn't know which, or if any. It's a big decision, but as Mr. (Principal Bryan) Skipper said, 'It's a good problem to have.'"
A health physicist at Savannah River Nuclear Solutions, Burkett is a single mom who tried to introduce her son to as many activities she could over the years, such as the Civil Air Patrol.
"It's been a lot of work," she said cheerfully, "but I wanted to get him exposed to everything, so he could figure out what he wanted. But I really didn't expect any of this."
Mother and son left Saturday for New York and spent yesterday and today at West Point. Then they'll head to Kings Point, N.Y., to visit the Merchant Marine Academy. He had already been to the Naval Academy, including an arduous summer session there last year that Coleman thoroughly enjoyed.
It's not easy to get an appointment to a service academy, said South Aiken NJROTC Commander Larry Laughlin. This unusual achievement is truly something Adrian can be proud of, he said.
"The academies look for what they call the whole person," Laughlin said. "He's not only a good student academically, but he's someone who is involved in sports and extracurricular activities. Adrian shows leadership ability and much potential. He has touched all those bases."
Coleman said others have been a big influence – guidance counselor Tracie McBride, teachers Dorna Redd, Valorie Vance and Ann Poplin and career counselor Steve Lavelli.
"The talent at South Aiken is overwhelming this year," McBride said. "Adrian still stands out among all of that. He's also one of the nicest people you will ever meet. He's authentic and humble, and I can't wait to see where he is 10 years from now."
His mother has always cracked down on him, Coleman said, laughing – doing his chores and no television or video games on homework nights.
"But I could deal with it," he said. "NJROTC has been a tremendous experience, going to national competitions and attending summer games. We went to the Naval Academy, and that was an eye-opening opportunity the first time."

Thanks Michael!
Thank you Mike, Great seminar!
No core dump
RS232, JTAG, Ethernet -debugging
No use of assembly language
Hello from Or
Have used JTAG with an ARM processor.
thanks great lecture
we use the jtag all the time
I havent used the GNU debugger
Ready to go
Got the slide deck
Okay picking up the last lecture
I hope I can get that T-shirt
I watched the final session this AM. Want to thank Chuck & Mike for a great week!
Thanks Mike. Very informative session
What about T-shirt?
Thanks alot for the presentation Mike.
I have done that with motorolla microcontroller
No I have not but would like to.
no I have not used it.
I am very comfortable with assembly language, I have programmed for Motorolla and also for Intel Architecture. Also C programming for Motorolla.
I have done some C shell programming
Thaks Mike. Great job.
I have used a jtag for debugging pcbas
So long everyone. Have a great weekend. Time to go get a beer... ;-)
jwessel n mike : Same to you! we are enlightened! from these presentations and chat
jwessel: Actually we met once at LinuxWorld before that confernce went buns up. But, it's a small community and I'm sure we'll meet in real life again.
Happy debugging to all and to all a SUPER Great weekend.
Hope it helps!
Mike, I would not be surprised if at some point we bump into each other in the future or may have even done so in the past. The embbedded community is still farily small even with the explosive growth in the Android world.
jwessel n Mike: Thanks so much! great info!
@kernelkernel: I'd say that it's way easier to debug on ARM at early stages than x86. No real-mode hoops, IDT or GDT crap to jump through.
kernelkernel: I can speak from the angle of the Wind River tools, the answer is yes. If you have a big pocket book the ARM Real View tools will do "the whole nine yards".
jwessel: that answered a lot! thanks!
@jwessel: Yeah, I'm sorry to miss the kernel summit. Too many other things happening this year.
I was wondering when you have to debug at the firmware level when the board is just a baby, then does arm have enough debugging tools like x86?
That was one of the big pushes behind the debug core in the kernel was to allow other archs to fill out a "processor specific stub" + "a polled I/O driver", then you could get a whole debugger working.
Ahh yes. EHCI debug adapter. A very nifty little gizmo.
@kernelkernel: actually there are many more for processors other than x86. x86 is a real pain for JTAG.
kdb / kgdb work on all the most widely use archs, blackfin, x86, mips, arm, sh, ppc and sparc, and few others.
Are the debuggers mostly avl only for x86 as of now? compared to ARM?
I do have a new set of experiemental patches that I'll be brining to the 2012 kernel summit for KGDB over USB using those cheap $7-15 USB dongles (specifically the FTDI and PL2303 devices).
@jwessel: Yeah, it's nice to have it in there if you've got a way to interact with the user like on x86. Tough to do that on a router or printer though. I'd love to see KGDB over USB or KGDBoE come back. The Ethernet option was particularly handy because you could have th console and debug at the same time without the interleaving.
You just have to know the little tricks to turn it on. Another really useful device to have (which time didn't permit for in Mike's presentation) is the EHCI debug adapter, if you are using x86 HW. If you don't have a serial and don't have a jtag, this device will get you early_printk() as well as kdb / kgdb at 1 mbit speeds.
yes used JTAG interface for ARM debug
jwessel: Nice to have you among the audience!
We recommend to customers and even Canonical Ubuntu does this to leave KDB built into the kernel. It is really nice to be able to catch those super evil panics and simply run dmesg.
It's a pretty tricky topic to have scattered across 5 days.
Time is abolutely the enemy of course. I am amazed at how much gound mike covered in the last 5 sessions. :-)
@jwessel: also thanks for the info that KDB is off by default in mainline.
Chuck, If Digi ever wants to contact me to go even deeper on kgdb / kdb or something like that in the future, I'd be happy to present. Mike only got to scratch the sufface of some of the power.
In the future I am looking to get the USB and perhaps kgdboe back in the kgdb dev branch. It is now working my local tree against the 3.4 -> linus head branch.
mike: Thanks very much for the email id!
I can be contacted at firstname.lastname@example.com
@jwessel: I thought so. Sorry for not mentioning you by name. I just get rolling on these presentations and time is always the enemy.
Mike: by any chance do the audience get to share your email id?
Mike. That is correct. jwessel = Jason Wessel.
@jwessel: Weren;t you one of the KGDB lite authors? Sure, I'd include those links in the material moving forward. Thanks!
Mike: Thanks for this info! Sure will try my best. It would be very enlightening!
@kernelkernel: I'm speaking at both the DesignEast and the ARM Techcon conferences. Stop by and say hi!
Mike n Chuck: Have a great Weekend and get some rest :)
Mike, your presentation materials and content were excellent. Perhaps you can make the following minor additions in the future.
Kgdb / kdb website: http://kgdb.wiki.kernel.org/
Kgdb Mailing list: firstname.lastname@example.com
With respect to kdump, don't forget about the decoding tools: http://people.redhat.com/anderson/
Mike: ahh I see. May be we can get more of your presentations like that at upcomming summits!
Thanks everyone for attending. Have a great weekend!
Thanks! Again, this series has been very useful. (And the audience has been helpful, too.)
@kernelkernel: yeah, sorry about that. The recording was done by a third party.
Mike: sure. the quality is not good at either locations :(
@jamesdeutch: Yes, the FS2 can be used for most of the bootloader work that you'd care to do. On the beagleboard, you can even use it for the xloader.
Thanks Mike
@Michael: yes, I recall also seeing OpenOCD and being able to "attach" gdb session via JTAG; the price is right if that fits the bill. Thanks again.
Thanks Mike. Your presentations were very helpful.
@kernelkernel: That presentation can be found at both the Linux Foundation website (I did it at the Android bulder's summit earlier this year) and at the OpenOCD website. I didn't do the original recording. So, I'm afraid I couldn't control the quality :(.
@Mike Do you know if the Flyswatter 2 can be used for bootloader debug?
@gbabecki: The Flyswatter 2 and OpenOCD (w. eclipse plug in) can be pulled together for < $100. I'd use that.
good day to all
thank you
@timd: if you look at the boot output on the serial console, you'll see a line of output that tells you how much memory the kernel is using. If you try that from user space, the memory size includes buffers and chaching space as well. So, you can't tell how much the kernel proper is using. An you should always beconcerned about memory usage on an embedded platform.
good info
@Michael, thank you very much, I did not know the size of that kmalloc() pool is #defined as opposed to kernel config. I will continue looking. PS. A world reknowned manufacturer could have done a better job differentiating where to use GFP_ATOMIC :|
Thank you jwessel.
@Michael: re JTAG interface chipset; yes, of course the FTDI USB chipset. I believe I have seen this in the TinCan and Flyswatter tools on the web. I'm looking to piece together an Eclipse-based (nominally ARM) based development platform with JTAG debugging, out of my own pocket. I'm a old UNIX kernel person from my first job at Bell Labs in the late 70's, then transitioned to embedded stuff in the 80's and early 90's. Doing "system engineering" work now but striving to get back to my first love doing embedded and looking to dig into embedded Linux. Thanks for the great overview course.
Mike: could you kindly let us know if you a better version of this presentation:
@Chuck and DigiKey - bring back the Starbuck's coupon ;^)
Thanks Mike and Chuck, great job.
Mike and Chuck, thanks for the interesting week. have a great weekend all.
@arkamax: you're really talking about the kernel's emergency page pool (GFP_ATOMIC allocates from there). There's a #define that proovides a guidline for the size of the emergency page pool. But, at the moment, I can't recall the define's location :(. However, it's really bad form to use GFP_ATOMIC allocations indescriminantly. I'd recommend a detailed analisys of the driver to find where they really need ATOMIC vs. the normal GFP_KERNEL allocations and fix the driver.
I have a small embedded system with an ARM processor. How can I tell how much RAM the kernel is using? Is there a way to look at this from user-space? Should I be concerned about my programs using to much RAM?
Thank you Mike and Chuck for this great series of presentations! They have been very useful.
jaranda: You can debug from power on all the way through the kernel user space depending on the tools. But certainly you can debug u-boot with a JTAG. We often refer to working on the boot loader and prior to having a working kernel printk as "board bring up".
just a note some of the books are on Kindle for savings..... assuming what you watch on doesn't crash with target system.
Mike, can I debug Uboot with a JTAG?
Mike: Thanks, this clarifies every thing
I use JTAG debug every day!
Thanks! Great presentation!
Kudoes to Micheal, Chuck and Digikey.
I have the TI Stellaris LM3S811 which can be used as USB to JTAG with several suites -- Code Composer, IAR etc.
Thank you so much for this series...
Thanks Mike. I'm not a linux developer or user yet, but the ideas for instrumenting the system are really useful for future projects. They may be based on some kind of OS or just a state machine. Software instrumenting using dynamically loaded modules or stubs on the system code sounds good to me.
@Chuck - thank you and DigiKey for a great week of presentations - look forward to the next session beginning Aug 20th
@kernelkernel: IP-based JTAGs typically only allow one connection per target baord to keep folks from colliding with each other as they debug.
hasta la vista!
OCD open on-chip debugger
@Mike - thanks for the great, informative and well organized week of presentations - look forward to having you back on these sessions
@Michael - yes, I do - there is about 25 places where kmalloc() is used, and the way the source is built, it's hard to understand what's called from where. Is there any way to increase mem pool for kmalloc()? They recommend 4 Mbytes at least. Thanks.
@gbabeki: The chipset is the FTDI 232H that is a dual channel USB and JTAG. It's used on the TinCan Tools Flyswatter 2 JTAG among others. Really great interface for ARM debugging.
Hello everyone
Thank you for good course.
Mike: when we use JTAG over ip, then is it time shared?
How are resets affected
thank you michael
I have a small embedded system with an ARM processor. How can I tell how much RAM the kernel is using? Is there a way to look at this from user-space?
Thank you Michael!
@jamesdeutch Tin Can Tools sells one for the Beagleboard and Pandaboard
Thanks, Mike! Great presentation. Gives me a good overview to try using Linux for development.
Interesting AND useful -- thanks!
@arkamax: do you have access to the sources for the driver? GFP_ATOMIC should only be used in allocations from ISR level.
Thanks for this valuable presentation.
Thanks Michael for sharing your knowledge and experience
Thank you for the great class.
thanks guys. have a nice week-end
@Michael: I didn't catch the whole statement, but I believe you mentioned something about a "chipset"(?) or a device make makes a decent JTAG interface, particularly ARM-based boards. Could you repeat what you were referencing. Thanks.
@Michael Anderson, how can you use the AVR Dragon to debug on the Arduino?. You mentioned arduino, and I've read you have to modifly the board.
@Mike: Any thoughts or recommendations on an inexpensive JTAG device/environment that works with the BeagleBoard-xM?
Hi everyone!
Thanks Mike and Chuck.
Thank you, Mike!
Thank you for the course. It has been very enlightening.
Many thanks Mike & Chuck - very useful.
Thank You Mike and Chuck!
Thanks to all and DigiKey! Even bought some syuff directly related to classes. ;-)
Than you
thanks guys. hugely good week. well done.
Was great. Thanks again.
thanks! very good course
thank you for the great classes
Thanks a lot! Chuck n Mike!
Have a graet weekend!
Analyzed coredumps files and were very helpful
Speaking of kernel compiling... I've got a third party driver that is overly zealous on kmalloc() with GFP_ATOMIC flag set - it basically runs out of kmalloc()'able default memory pool I have on my ARM. Vendor says I can increase the size of kmalloc() memory pool - but I cannot find how to do that. Using LTIB from Freescale. Any comment helps. Thanks :)
Thank you for the presentation Michael
Thank you Chuck and Digikey for hosting and sponsoring
Thank You!
used it for code download and debugging
YESS, openocd is great. Is there a tutorial on it?
And if you have further questions or comments to about kgdb / kdb please do send them to the mailling list: firstname.lastname@example.com
TinCan Tools sells a prettly good jtag debugger for the Panda board.
Thanks Michael & Chuck for a useful week. I plan on referencing this again.
thank you Michael,
Very nice job, Well worth the time. Thanks!
Thanks, this course was a very good intro.
Thanks Mike great serries!
What a great class! Thanks Mike. And, Thanks to Digi-Key and Design News.
Thanks Michael
Iave Chris Embedded book, and I like it.
Thanks much, Michael.
Chris gave an awesome talk on Yocto in San Antonio on the FTF
"Real Developers use printk"????? hmmmpphhh!
Real developers use whatever works and have no shame about it!
also used the lights on the front panel loader to debug/troubleshoot the system. core dump and the "song" played by the lights told a story.
core dumps are great fun... fixed many problems, many times with them, extremely valuable
@Chuck - have used memory core dumps extensively (when all else fails) and found most all errors
The cover on the Robert Love book is outdated
On Windows x86 core dump is very useful in finding out the bug using WinDBG similar to Linux.
Have done core dumps of actual core (magnetic) memory, on PDP-11
core dump - was successful. drexel university still teaches this in cs283 & cs 281
Yes - stack back traces are always useful (form of core dump) have used it to find many defects.
Memory Core dump. Ancient history really -- but yes, and sometimes it even works. Tracing is better if feasible.
Have used both lkcd and kdump. Have been able to find the problem. This is the only way if the system is deployed.
There was a point when a core dump was all you had... You used it until you fixed the problem.
Never used.
used coredump
There is no reference to the kdump's user space portion. You should google for "redhat" "crash". The crash utility is what you use to get the information out of a kdump.
Yes done a core dump. Totally unsuccessful at finding the prob.
Tried, it was frightening.
have used an actual core dump for debug. real core memory.
@Chuck - yes, have used the memory dumps for debugging quite successfully
Never used a memory core dump for debugging the kernel
Yes, it tells where the process ran off the rails.
Yes with IAR for MSP430 family microcontrollers
Nope, never used a Linux core dump.
I have, but only to match a knowledge base of core dumps
Yes, and Yes.
Yes, and yes
@Chuck: yes and yes
never used
never used a memdump
Loaded code with JTAG but no debug.
I used them on the XC16x or XE16x and the Hardware Debugger on several Freescale Processors (called BDM, not JTAG, but has a similar functionality)
JTag, JTrace
Software folks need to be aware of the voltage of the target and how the JTAG interfaces to it. Some JTAG modules have voltage levelers. Some may require a jumper or switch to adjust.
Use JTAG frequently for development/debugging.
Used JTAG for debugging and updating firmware at a company I used to work for.
JTAG rocks. Out of a good, better, best, for solving a problem it is the best next to having full trace data or a reverse executing simulator.
@Chuck - have not use JTAG but plan on doing so
How do you do the modification on Arduino ONE for DebugWIRE?
or how do I connect the JTAG from the AVR Dragon on arduino
One time only in a galaxy long ago and far away.
using JTAG for 7 years
I used one a few years ago. I really like external pins and a scope since I trust those without the extra processor on top.
I have been lucky to have ICE when needed, so no jtag yet.
Yes with IAR embedded workbench & ARM processor
Daily use USB (Segger) based for ARM devices.
Yes used it especially when bringing up the board or debugging BIOS code.
Yup all the time with Jlinks, Seggers and Commanders.
Yes, definitely!
used jtag too
Haven't needed to use JTAG yet
no jtag.
I have used JTAG, but not on a Linux system.
In a few days, hopefully...
Yes, JTAG on PIC24
Have not used JTAG
I use JTAG debuggers everyday.
Jtag -- yes. -- Stellaris ICDI.
Use it for 8-bit AVRs all the time, it's the only option there (along with a few even more primitive types)
yes, i have used jtag
Aye, have two one
many times
Many times plus all of the other techniques
@Chuck - yes, have used JTAG
Use JTAG with MSP430
yep, all the time
expert at JTAG
used ICE,JTAG,Logic Analyser
I used
Lost the audio after 2 minute network outage.
The Wind River "ethernet versions" of JTAG devices actually run Linux these days. :-)
recommendations on affordable jtag
I have a 100 MHz Rigol oscilloscope $400 (sorry, Digikey does not carry them). Great for debugging.
@Mr.E - lost audio several minutes ago - simple paused/stop the radio streamer then started/play again - recovered to problems
no issues with audio...
audio ok here
audio fine here
"PC-based logic analyzers" can be had for less than a $100
Moving to Serial Wire Debug (6 pin alternative to JTAG)
My audio is gone. Anybody else lost audio?
All is fair in love, war and processor debugging!
The problem with ICEs is not so much pins as clock speeds; attaching an external circuit plays hell with timing
JTAG is pretty much the only choice for lower end 8-bit controllers like AVR. A snap to use (at least in AVR), much easier to set up and get started with than even GDB.
sorry, d/a converters on the address bus.
in one of the presentations earlier this year - presenter introduced the use of simple serial printers as debug tools
i remember an old debugging vector scope in Byte. it had the address bus split on a pair of a/d converters. x-y scope display draws an signature of where the code is executing. a great tool to "sniff" the bus.
oscillioscope, IDE specific debugers
"counting pulses" is much easier with a logic analyzer... measuring pulses - with scope
Got a scope in my office... as well as some bus capture tools... have a USB one at home...
Personally own Scope, logic analyzer and RF Test equipment (Spetrum Analyzers, Sig Gens, Network analyzers) for Hobby use. (definitely was valueable to have designed them in the past :)
Using a Signature Analyzer can provide much more verbosity.
Used Oscillioscope yesterday to chase down problem with embedded code for a training course. The code is just wrong. Without oscilloscope almost impossible to find.
@Chuck: have used gdb in several environments, both interactively as a debug tool and scripted to simulate failures during testing
used more IDE specific debugers
Used assy from the 6502 and Z80.
Still use it on DSPs now.
Usually use target specific Hardware IDE.
Used GDB briefly in the past, but not fluent in it.
Used GDB debugger when used to develop Unix drivers.
yes -gdb and kgdb
Yes, without success.
@Chuck - have used gdb extensively
used gnu debugger some time ago..... I am a neophyte with it.
@Chuck - yes on gnu debugger
I have used the GDB debugger for debugging small code.
Very little. Tried to use GDBserver debugger over ethernet, but was unable to get it to work.
I've used gdb w/ DDD frontend as well as Eclipse front end...
Have used gdb.
I have tried it.
Yes, at command line and with DDD
Some GDB, also, but not as much as I'd like
I have not used GNU debugger.
Yes, have used GDB.
I have used gdb.
under *nix it is my goto tool
GDB? That's the only thing that saves the day, using every day
haven't used gdb
gnu debugger plenty of times
gdb yes!
GNU debugger -- yes.
have not used gnu debugger
not me
Oops, I'm late for the live session... glad it's not over yet...
commit bce7f793daec3e65ec5c5705d2457b81fe7b5725Author: Linus Torvalds <firstname.lastname@example.com>Date: Sun Jul 13 14:51:29 2008 -0700 Linux 2.6.26
I write and/or examine Rabbit (an offshoot of Z80 architecture) fairly frequently working on my own Linux-compatible OS that I wrote.
Mike, one thing that is not mentioned in the presentation is that KMS (Kernel Mode Setting) support was merged as well. The means you can take a kernel oops or panic while running on a graphics console and jump to the kdb prompt. (fully merged in 2010).
Only on PIC
When in time was 2.6.26 released?
use assy. lang. on microcontrollers
used assembly when porting r/t OS from AMD to HP RISC
used in colledge
Can follow x86, have done a fair amount with HC11.
@Chuck: work with Motorola 68000 assembly fairly regularly, x86 occasionally
have also used assy for minicomputers like Varian 620 family
I have used assemblers and cross assemblers for x86, 8051, motorola 68000, 6808, 6809, etc, and to date myself Z80.
I'm dating myself, but when I started, real-time was done in assembly. Full stop. Architectures, you name it.
Don't use it now but used to code BIOS and early device drivers in x86 and PowerPC.
I wrote all the code to connect KDB up to the kernel's debug core and am the KDB / KGDB maintainer. So yes, I am fairly familiar with assembly. :-)
assembly language for 8-bit processors begining with the old 8080 and CP/M
sometime have to work with Assemble: ARM, TI, PowerPC
Use ASM on 8 Bit 8051
@Chuck - years of mainframe assembly - some x86 based assembly
ARM and X86
when it was needed i learned arm arch asm in a cuople of days and have drawn a flow chart out of
the asm code
8051, c or assembley
Know x86 and ARM assembly language.
I've used many Assy Languages including 386, 8080, 6502 and PIC
Comfort with Assemby languages well yeah. Quit counting how many years ago and the CPUS. Latest is ARM and AVR.
recently graduated UMASS lowell with EET. No assembly language required or taught.
it has been a long time since I have had to work with assembly language. I have worked on IBM System/360, 8086, pdp 11, and a few others. I am confortable with assembly language, just rusty.
yes, with numerous CPU architectures
Have worked in assembly on PIC.
Yes, ARM and a few 8-bit MCU
assembly on 6502, 6510, 68000, PIC16, HC11, and several others.
Assembly - used motorola 68K, 8051 and ARM MCUs
Still work in assembly language; have done so for the last 14 years; 8051
Did Assembly in college, and have barely touched it since.
have been comfortable with assy for a long time. have used it to write simple h/w and f/w debug routines. I haven't used in recent embedded projects.
Yes. CPU32, PowerPC, and x86.
I use assembly in 1802, Z80 series and x86. I need to learn it for ARM.
jl "wanted to know if you can go to a new/different memory instruction location and continue exec" A: Sure you can just change the program counter register and continue from anywhere.
Use assembly language on microcontrollers.
Yes, 68K, PowerPC, ARM...
@arcress - got it - modify instruction reg
used to be good at assembly language - Intel
I'm comfortable debugging assembly output of C code (panics, oops, etc), but I'm not an assembly programmer
Comfortable - powerpc
Speak? No. Tried? Plenty of times :)
No issues with assembly language.
comfortable with x86 Assembly; looking to learn 64 bit assembler
a variety - HCS12, Z80, 6800
I am, I used. PPC, ARM, old 68k
not comfortable with assembly because I have not used it in a long time. I can always pick it up.
Atmel/PIC assembly
I have used assembly on 8 bit micros.
I spent a decade as an assembly language system programmer.
LOVE asm!!!!
I haven't done assembler in several years - MIPS was the last architecture I did serious work.
Comfortable reading X86 assembly
pretty good, but not an expert. Intel/AMD/Arm
A bit... IA32 and ARM
The mainline version of kdb is ALWAYS off by default, and there is zero impact to the runtime performance.
@jwessel - wanted to know if you can go to a new/different memory instruction location and continue exec
Use 'rm' to set a new instruction location with KDB.
jl - answer "can you establish a new instruction location with KDB" - yes if you mm (memory modify) and write in a new instruction op code.
bph has 3 modes, instruction breakpoint, r/w data access and write access breakpoint.
@Mike - can you establish a new instruction location with KDB
For some reason Mike did not include a link over to the kgdb / kdb website: http://kgdb.wiki.kernel.org/
nikel: kdb uses slightly different commands than gdb
ss = single step for example
Mike does bph (hw brkpt) trip on speculative accesses, or just real/actual accesses?
is it safe to assume kdb uses the same commands for stepping?
looks like old things are new again? KDB has the feel of old-time debug monitors.
The mainline version of KDB connects to the debug core. The KGDB / gdbstub connects to that very same debug core. The configuration is all done through the kgdboc (KGDB Over Console) which is the I/O driver layer.
kdb does not require kallsysms anymore. Certainly it is more useful this way, but with an embedded device you do no need it if you don't have space.
You can use kdb to get a backtrace and correlate things with the add2line or an ojbdump --source listing.
I also used a debug cartridge on the C64 in the 80ies
Actually KGDB was built on top of KDB core, but the point is they use a common core.
Used to write and debug using assembly if that counts
happy friday all from edmonton, ab. better late than never.
No have not
I used sourcer to disassemble various things
thanks jwessel
Done pelenty of assembly level debug
Hi, TGIF!
I have if DASM in the 90ies if that count.
Sure, on a variety of systems.
have not used
Using a disassembler means I am really in deep trouble. I can program in assembly, but this is backwards and you need to really understand the compiler.
jl "does KDB generate its own symbolics" Answer: No kdb uses the kernels kallsyms tables.
vxWorks and some proprietery symbolic assembly language debuggers.
Have not used.
I haven't used a symbolic disassembler since the Amiga.
I have not used it but I have seen it and am familiar with assembly language.
Symbolic dissasembler -- yes some -- mainframes, PC embedded
I have used Vx Shell a little in the past
I've dabbled with KDB
Have not used
Not me
used VxWorks tgt shell in the past
I have with VxWorks and old OSes from years ago
kdb is an assembly-level debugger originally ported from ctkdb. I have used it some years ago.
@Chuck - have not used VxWorks, but have used PC based disassemblers
I have used KDB
i used vxworks a lot
Used VxWorks years ago...
not I.
not for years
KDB = debug monitor

Chad Kesselhuth sat out the first four weeks of the Gridiron Green season.
I guess he viewed it as his preseason, meaningless games that won�t count toward the final standings. Turns out, the Gridiron Green throws out your four worst weeks, so Kesselhuth�s four zeros won�t count toward the final standings.
The Durangoan won the Week 13 Green with 13 rights and three wrongs, two shy of Donna Cormier, the national Gridiron Green winner from Manchester, Maine, who scored 15 of 16 last weekend.
In the overall standings, �edonelan� took a two-point lead from �tholeman� � 135 points to 133. The latter�s 133 leads the Gridiron Gold.
The Guru went 10-6 last week, including six consecutive victories on Thursday games, to improve to 117.5-73.5 on the season.
Speaking of Thursday Night Football ...
Thursday, Dec. 6
Denver at Oakland, 6:20 p.m. (NFL Network; KRSJ 100.5 FM) � The ole Thursday nighters generally have played pretty funny, what with the short work weeks and all. But I see absolutely no scenario � not even the return of Run DMC � which the Raiders can pull off this upset. Pick: Broncos, 38-13. Line: Broncos by 10.
Sunday, Dec. 9
Chicago at Minnesota, 11 a.m. � The NFC North is about to get a whole lot more interesting. Pick: Vikings, 16-14. Line: Bears by 3.
Baltimore at Washington, 11 a.m. (KCNC, KREZ) � The Ravens� D is losing its wings, and RG3 is just beginning to take flight. Pick: Redskins, 24-23. Line: pick �em.
Kansas City at Cleveland, 11 a.m. � The emotion remains, but the victories do not. Pick: Browns, 20-10. Line: Browns by 5.
San Diego at Pittsburgh, 11 a.m. � Big Ben is back, and the Steelers are about to pull the Curtain over the Chargers� eyes. Pick: Steelers, 20-13. Line: off.
Tennessee at Indianapolis, 11 a.m. � Andrew Luck and the Colts are for real. Pick: Colts, 28-17. Line: Colts by 5�.
N.Y. Jets at Jacksonville, 11 a.m. � McElroy? Sanchez? Tebow? (Sanchez will start.) Try a Henne on for size. Pick: Jaguars, 10-9. Line: Jets by 2�.
Atlanta at Carolina, 11 a.m. � Somebody�s taken the Fig out of Cam�s Newton. Pick: Falcons, 33-23. Line: Falcons by 3�.
Philadelphia at Tampa Bay, 11 a.m. � Foles is no Buccanneers� foil. Pick: Buccaneers, 30-13. Line: Buccaneers by 7�.
St. Louis at Buffalo, 11 a.m. � The Rams are 4-0-1 in the NFC West; it�s time they start picking on somebody outside their division. Pick: Rams, 21-20. Line: Bills by 3.
Dallas at Cincinnati, 11 a.m. (KASA) � The Bengals are buckin� for another strong finish. Pick: Bengals, 23-16. Line: Bengals by 3.
Miami at San Francisco, 2:05 p.m. � I bet the 49ers bounce back by the Bay. Pick: 49ers, 23-14. Line: 49ers by 10.
Arizona at Seattle, 2:25 p.m. � The Seahawks don�t lose at home, let alone to the Lindley-led Cardinals. Pick: Seahawks, 27-10. Line: Seahawks by 10.
New Orleans at N.Y. Giants, 2:25 p.m. (KASA) � Home sweet home for Eli and Co. Pick: Giants, 30-27. Line: Giants by 5.
Detroit at Green Bay, 6:20 p.m. (KOBF, KUSA) � December football on the frozen tundra at Lambeau Field? Pick: Packers, 33-19. Line: Packers by 6�.
Monday, Dec. 10
Houston at New England, 6:30 p.m. (ESPN) � Good game. Tough call. I�m taking the Hoodie at home in Boston. Pick: Patriots, 28-22. Line: Patriots by 4�.

Huge game tonight @ Staples Center for the rested Clippers vs the Blazers, who are coming off a home loss vs the Thunder. The guys must play good defense, defend the 3 point line well, and get some steals to win. Thoughts & predictions?
I want this one. And I am cautiously optimistic that we'll win it.
This begins a Really tough Stretch for the Clippers, so Getting this one will be Huge. On a Side note, with that horrible game LA had last night vs the Thunder, Blake moved past him by a few percentage point's for 6th in the NBA in Scoring.
Hope LA has a Repeat performance, he was playing hurt yesterday, but Kendrick Perkins (Who did the Best Job Guarding LA), really Body'd him up on the Perimeter, but he was missing allot of shots he normally makes. Also Mo Williams didn't play as Well.
The Blazers are on a second night of a back-to-back, so they will have some tired legs. Clippers need to come out fast and outgun them right away. LMA struggled last night with his shots so I hope he continues having trouble. He was playing injured so perhaps that will also limit his game tonight. Batum is a pesky defender (or at least he was at last night's game) so Clips need to get him out of his rhythm. I hope the Clips win this easily.
With back to back game for the Blazers it will be a huge win by the Clips tonight.
Rebounding will be the story of this game. One-and-done, and we should be OK.
such a huge game going into the break. If we win this, we will be essentially tied with portland for the 3 seed. In my opinion we need to be striving for the 2 seed, we gotta do everything we can to avoid GSW in the first round, they're our kryptonite
We will win this game and it probably won't be close. 2nd of back to back for them.
Hope JJ gets some run.
We got no excuses for losing this game, even without JJ. Don't get me wrong, I think we're even better with Redick but our team is rested, they are not. We're at home, they're on the road. If we lose, then they are clearly the better team right now.
I definitely think this is a key game. If we were blaming some of our losses on the schedule and tough second nights of a back to back against tough opponents; then this is where we get those back. This is Portland's version, so we have to take it. We can't take it for granted and think it's an automatic win. We have to get them early and run them down early, get big leads right away and then reinforce it in the 3rd, and finishing it off in the end.
We can't take to much out of a win here, but it can show a lot of maturity problems with a loss in my opinion. Rebounding needs to be a priority, don't let their perimeter players come back in for easy boards.
Just watched the recap of the Thunder game, they're for real they played with LA 5-22 and only lost by 3 pts, we have to put DJ on LA to bother those jumpshots and make sure we box out Lopez he loves tip ins.
Bought two tickets on **** for $15 a piece. Pretty stoked to be going tonight. Should be a great game!
Wow only $15? That Is crazy.
I want to crush the Blazers so badly. Revenge time and time to get the 3rd seed!
I'm a little scared that mo will torch us - he is back tonight and is capable of making big shots.
JJ will not play. Per Doc Rivers. He will be back after All-Star
Team has to bring the big game energy and hunger for a full game. Hopefully they got a great practice in and warm up well to come out the gates aggressive.
As much as I love JJ, I am tired of his injuries. Billups 2.0
Brian Cook Anyone?
@ShamsCharania: Free agent Brian Cook, with Utah Jazz in October, has started gauging leaguewide interest, source tells RealGM. Cook is training in L.A.
Would be nice if we could build the chemistry with full starting unit though.
Yes cookie !! Go clipper tonites a statement game
As long as we have everybody back and healthy for the last 15-20 games before heading into the PO's we should be fine.
How is that disrespectful? Maybe you're reading too much into a simple comment. In terms of time played in less than 1/2 a season due to injuries, a comparison can be made without insulting. Jeez, lighten up Francis.
Agreed - it's not a knock on jj redicks skills to say he has been brittle this year. We all know what he can do for us which is why we want him back. I don't think anyone wanted billups to be on the court last year he was over the hill.
Big test for this team, no excuses for losing this one.
Lets get it. Tonight is a big game for blake. He needs to show up and prove to everyone he is better then Aldridge.
Nah... Grant was over the hill... Chauncey was over the hill, down the other side, across the beach, on a ship, sailed over the ocean to Tibet, then over the Himalayas and back down the other side, in a cemetery with one foot in the grave.
It's all good but I thought the first sentence left little room for error.
Like I said, it's all good. Now lets kick some Blazer ass tonight.
As far as JJ is concerned, all can be redeemed in the playoffs!
Now as Clipper*Joe said:
2.0 is only negative if the 1.0 version was crap.
JJ's not usually brittle...and he's certainly not as old as Chauncey. Just bad luck. Maybe working a little harder for Doc than he's had to for SVG. And let's face it, the hand thing was pretty much a freak injury. He'll be alright down the stretch.
Can't wait to get revenge on the Blazers with a big win tonight. Even with no JJ, I still say we find a way to pull out a win at home.
It's safe to safe to say JJ has been Brittle as hell this season.
He comes back from a wrist injury after missing 20 games only
to injure 3 other body parts in 4 games.
come on.
Haha yikes. Man, we were lucky enough to find someone to take him off our hands once, we won't be so lucky a second time.
I'm so pumped for this game- it's the one game I get to go to this season, so we better get this W!
Madelyn Burke @MadelynBurke 14m
Willie Green (sore right hip) and JJ Redick (also sore right hip) OUT tonight for #Clippers vs #Blazers
Sounds like Willie Green may be out also tonight.
Huge game tonight.... I want a win.
Will this team ever be fully healthy? SMH...
maybe its to give sasha and reggie some playing time
Sasha is garbage. Reggie should get more minutes though.
Sasha's 10 day contract is up tonight I think, so he might give us some good minutes. Can only hope.
What no Willie !! Crap he has been solid lately !! Maybe being traded ??? Will See !!! Go clippers kick the blazers ass
sore right hip
Bummer that Willie also has a sore hip. This team just can't catch a break in having everyone healthy. I hope after the All-Star break the Clippers will be a full squad, no injuries. That would be something.
Ariza has 10 three's tonight, 10/14. I know someone is probably thinking "you can't whine anymore about that non-trade", but I've whined since the first time it came out and I'll continue to whine about it, lol
Go Clippers! Tired of the Blazers
It kills me though because we probably make that trade and end up Ariza as our starting forward this season rather than Dudley and we still sign JJ. WoW. I need to stop because I am about to start crying
My predicition for this game is this:
The tires on this Blazer should be flat tonight.
If we win tonight, we move up to the 3rd place, right?

One of the floral tributes at the funeral of Henry HEMSLEY was described in the newspaper report as "A token of respect to the oldest license holder, from his friends in the Trade at Uckfield, George Bean, J. H. Elliott, A. E. Hill, M. Tourle, J. Webber, A. Waight, and F. White."
Having an interest in pub history I thought it might be fun to find out who these people were. Using Kelly's Directory of Sussex for 1915 on the Historical Directories website I was able to identify all seven of the gentlemen (yes, they were all men) mentioned, all of whom had businesses in the town of Uckfield, Sussex.
|George BEAN
|King's Head Hotel
|186 High Street
|Joseph Henry ELLIOTT
|Bridge Hotel
|New Town
|Arthur Ernest HILL
|beer retailer
|70 High Street
|Mark TOURLE
|Ringles Cross Hotel
|Ringles Cross
|John WEBBER
|Maiden's Head Hotel
|91 High Street
|Albert WAIGHT
|Bell Hotel
|96 High Street
|Frank WHITE
|Alma Arms Public House
|Framfield Road
Uckfield High Street was obviously the place to go for a drink. As well as the four businesses listed above there was also a wine and spirit merchant at No. 122 High Street.
The Maiden's Head Hotel is where Henry's property, the Gun Inn, was sold at auction six months after his death.

A New York man has been accused of soliciting sexual favors from employees of The Willcox, according to the Aiken Department of Public Safety.
The incidents happened at about 9:15 p.m. on Thursday at the hotel on Colleton Avenue, according to reports.
The suspect reportedly sent a note to the front desk of the hotel requesting that one of the victims come to his room and offering payment of $500.
The suspect made inappropriate advances toward another employee, according to the report. The victim said that while completing her housekeeping duties, the suspect began rubbing her hair. She reportedly felt uncomfortable and left the room. The suspect was escorted from the hotel by staff after the incident and left in a blue Ford F-350, according to the report.
The incident is still under investigation, and charges had not been filed against the suspect as of Tuesday afternoon.

I have just finished reading the book Map Addict by Mike Parker (published by HarperCollins in 2009) and I must say it is probably the best book I have read this year. I heard the author earlier in the year presenting a series on BBC Radio 4 entitled On the Map, which was enjoyable but disappointingly short. Much of the material from the radio series is also featured in the book, or probably in truth it was the other way round.
I have a strong interest in maps but would not really consider myself to be a map addict (and certainly not to the same extreme as the author), so the subject matter obviously appealed to me, but the book is so wide ranging that you don't really need to have an obsession with maps and mapping to enjoy it. The style of writing is passionate and engaging, and in some places very personal and funny.
The book covers the origins of the Ordnance Survey, through to the impact of the satnav and internet mapping and many points in between, including how Greenwich became home to the Prime Meridian and the Summer Solstice alignments in the heart of Milton Keynes. The book also describes the many and varied reasons for the creation of maps over the centuries.
It has been a long time since I have found a non-fiction (or fiction) book impossible to put down, but it really was the case with this book. It has made me laugh out loud, as well as making me question my own relationship with maps.

"It's awfully pink", was my first thought as I stepped into the exhibitors hall at Olympia this morning for day one of Who Do You Think You Are? Live. The floor (upstairs and downstairs) was covered in a shocking pink carpet. At least it seemed quite shocking at first, but of course there were plenty of things going on to take my mind off it.
Everything was pretty much as expected, everything in more or less the same places as previous years. The queue to get in seemed a bit longer than last year, as did the queue for workshop tickets, but they both moved pretty quickly. The other good news was that the cash machine on the ground floor was working this year.
I was wondering last night (yes, I know I am sad) what the findmypast stand would look like this year. In previous years they have disguised their stand as a church and a school (and a bus or tram if my memory serves me correctly). Well this year it was an ocean liner, quite obvious when I think of it now, I only hope the "unsinkable" brightsolid are not tempting fate.
I had a great day, attended four excellent workshops, spent too much money, learnt some useful information and met up with a distant cousin and fellow Gasson researcher (Hi Mike, it was great to finally meet you).
Now I need to get to bed as I need to be up bright and early again tomorrow, ready to do it all again.

Last night saw the final episode of the BBC television series Victorian Pharmacy. Over the last four weeks (actually five because they missed a week) I have found the series both enjoyable and informative. The only difficulty has been trying to relate it to the lives of my "chemist and druggist" ancestors.
It has provided a good general overview of an interesting period of development. I would have liked to have seen a bit more depth, perhaps doubling the number of episodes, but having ancestors "in the trade" would make me say that wouldn't it.
I must admit I was rather sad to see them leaving the shop and driving off in a horse and cart, I hope we see more of the Victorian Pharmacy in the future, perhaps a Christmas special like the one they did for Victorian Farm last year.
Another good thing about the series is that it has lead to more information on the subject becoming available. For example, there is a book accompanying the series, which has some great pictures and recipes (which are clearly marked so you don't end up trying something harmful).
The Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain has a new page about the series including a link to a pdf of articles about the series from their journal Pharmacy Professional.
The other good news is that there does appear to be a DVD of the series in the pipeline, according to the BBC Shop the release date is the 11th October, so plenty of time for it to be added to my Christmas list.
It seems like there never has been a better time for someone interested in the life and work of chemists and druggists!

Below .500
There haven't been many nights when the Reds seemed to have no life and little chance to win after an early deficit. But they were flat, flatter and flattest during an 8-1 loss to the Cardinals on Tuesday.
"Nothing went right tonight. Bad night. Terrible, actually," manager Dusty Baker said.
That is four losses in the last five games, all of the defeats coming with two runs or less scored by the Reds.
It's not uncommon for GM Walt Jocketty to be in the clubhouse postgame. But he was behind closed doors in the coaches locker room with the staff and Baker after this one. Could roster changes be a foot?
Brandon Phillips had some interesting comments after the game.
"If you look at our team up and down the lineup, we have some of the best talent as any team. Right now, we're just not putting it all together," Phillips said. "I know it's very frustrating for our fans. It really is. We just have to find a way to put it together because the ball that we're playing right now, it's unacceptable."
*Edinson Volquez didn't really have it, which was disappointing after his solid outing in Tampa Bay. Volquez gave up three homers, including back-to-back shots by Holliday and Berkman with two outs in the first inning. He lasted only 5 1/3 innings and threw 94 pitches with seven runs (six earned) allowed on seven hits with three walks and three strikeouts.
*In six starts since his return from a demotion at Triple-A Louisville, Volquez is 2-2 with a 5.29 ERA. It was 6.35 in the 10 starts before going down. He has a 12.38 first inning ERA for the season.
*The Reds are in fourth place at 43-44 and four games behind the first-place Cardinals. Cincinnati has not been below .500 since they were 14-15 on May 3.
*Paul Janish made his ninth error of the season on a routine grounder by Ryan Theriot in the fifth, which led to a three-run homer by Holliday. That will do nothing to deter the Zack Cozart fan club campaign for a promotion.
"I don't know. This game sort of frustrates you. I'm frustrated right now. The best thing to do is not talk too much." — Dusty Baker when asked if there was hope for Volquez to turn things around.
2 Comments
Volquez' proclivity (take that, Curt) for giving up 1st inning runs is simply amazing. Here's an ignorant question – does he need to warm up differently before the game or alter his between starts throwing? The Reds are down to two reliable starters, Cueto and Bailey. Leake, maybe.That ain't enough. Anyone really confident Arroyo won't give up a handful of johnsons tonight? With Pujols up there feeling he's got something to prove? I would think changes would be afoot. In the words of Paul Simon: 'Slip sliding away. 'Slip sliding away. The nearer our destination the more we're slip sliding away.' Hey, Curt: Kornheiser referenced the WAR stat last night on PTI – you never explained what it is. I gathered from the context that it's Wins After Replacement, or the Wally Pipp award. As in, how does the team do while you're on the DL. Like the Yanks doing well without Jeter. But that's silly – the number of games is too small a sample, and it takes no account of matchups, favorable or otherwise. Has everyone gone nuts?
Sounds to me like it's a focus/maturity issue. You can't be a good MLB pitcher solely with good tools. Volquez probably has better stuff than Cueto. Why is Cueto our best starter and Volquez our worst? Cueto has grown in his knowledge of the game in learning how to pitch. Volquez hasn't grown at all since he's been here.

I don't get how this is any different. Do you use your hands to shoot or your head? Unless you use some kind of weird underhand form when shooting wingspan is a more important factor here. Would you rather have a 6'3 player with a 6'3 wingspan or a 6'1 player with a 6'8 wingspan? The latter is way better to have.
Well, think about it this way. Let's say we're the same height. If you have the ball, and we both touch hands in the air, you lose ball. If I have the ball in my hands and we touch hands, I lose ball. We can high 5 all we want, but ball handler loses something.
Also the difference in blocking and shooting, when you're defending let's say you're going for a block, you're extending your body and your arm too meet the ball. When shooting, your arms are bent, and when you shoot, you shoot at an angle.
If the rumored trade of Bledsoe and Butler for Affalo,Nicholson,and a 1st rounder is true I would try to get Bernard James thrown in.He's not making a lot of money and is a defensive big.Would be a good 3rd string center in case of an injury.
A 6'6" wingspan is common for an nba player of his height, as wingspan tends to be a few inches longer than the height of an individual. It isn't wingspan you are looking for, anyways, it would be standing reach. Bled's moderately oversized wingspan wouldn't be able to make up for his glaringly deficient standing reach and he would have to gamble to contest shots making him highly vulnerable to up-fakes.
Haha, well... I don't know this for sure, but, regardless, it would be a horrible idea. Doc may very well have that planned, but Doc isn't incapable of having horrible ideas, either.
I think that it is hilarious that you attack my post for claiming to know something that I epistemologically cannot know, when, in the post you made right before that, you claim that CP3's return was somehow "finalized" with Doc's signing. We are more confident, that is all.
As for us running a dual PG lineup, it can work... until teams begin exploiting its weaknesses. Which is what I hope we avoid by not starting Bled at the 2.
How many 6'1" SGs have started on contending teams? How many can you name? Jason Kidd last year? How did that work out?
Bledsoe doesn't necessarily have to start, but he does have to play more minutes. Vinny played him like 15 minutes a game. That's just not enough.
He needs to be at 25-30 minutes a game or we might as well trade him. Doc will have to figure this one out fast.
With Crawford, Paul, Billups-Green and Bledsoe two of these guys had to play limited minutes. One of course, was bled. So...Getting a guy like AA.... how do you think the minutes are getting distributed? Small ball city?
Thats the reason id try to get a Sf for bled.
The idea that a 2 guard needs to be 6'5-6'6 doesn't apply to today's game. There are no more t macs and VC's at the 2 guard. Anyone that afflalo can guard, bledsoe can guard BETTER. Bledsoes overall game is better too, especially with his cutting and athleticism.
Cant we give Bled some growth injections , like Barcelona did with Messi? Thatd make things illegally easier for us, lol.
Begs the question of why we think Bledsoe with an 8'2 standing reach and a 6'7.5" wingspan can't contest SG's but many felt/feel that O.J. Mayo with an 8'3.5" standing reach and a 6'6 wingspan was/is the solution at SG both offensively and good enough defensively.
Willie Green started 60 games and has a 6'7.25 wingspan and an 8'4 standing reach. If you at any point in time thought O.J. Mayo could effectively guard and/or contest shots well enough at SG, then it's counter to logic to think that Bledose can't because of height or length. Just doesn't make sense
There's a reason Coutney Lee who is listed at a very generous 6'5 skipped the pre-draft measurments, and that is because it would have hurt his draft stock. He's really 6'3 without shoes, 6'4 with at best, and his wingspan and reach is not anything great from looking at him, not likely more than a Willie Green.
I begged no questions as Mayo was the last SG on my list. However, if Bleds reach is 8'2", then it isn't as bad as I suspected it would be based on his height and wingspan (wingspan being well within the range of average).
There is still, though, one glaring problem, and that is that he cannot shoot. I don't care what the stats say, because they don't show that he prefers NOT to jump when shooting a wide-open "jumper." There is also an old scouting adage that goes "you can tell how good a shooter is by looking at their misses." If you look at Bled's misses they are all bricks. I am not saying that he cannot pull off being our starting 2 guard, or even that he won't be great at it, but these factors reduce my confidence in him at that position in the starting role; I would rather try someone proven and not risk losing Bleds value next season when he becomes an unrestricted free agent.
Didn't Iverson start at SG? Not championship but damned close. He was however a VOLUME shooter but smaller than Bled.
He will be a good shooter next yr. Look at his FT improvement. I know one doesn't always translate to the other but it means serious time in the gym and commitment
You guys are missing the important point here. Bled is a capable defender and can guard even taller guards, but a SG is supposed to have at least remotely reliable 3PT shot, which Bled does not have. He won't hurt us on defense as much as he can hurt us on missed open threes. If he can somehow get to respectable 35% from long range and average at least 3 attempts (I think he was trying exactly 1 three a game last season), he will be a very solid SG despite size issues.
He will be a good shooter next yr. Look at his FT improvement. I know one doesn't always translate to the other but it means serious time in the gym and commitment
TheThinkingSomething, I agree that he can't shoot, but he's actually an adequate set shooter (Mario Chalmers is also not a jump shooter, and neither is Kidd, he just quickened his release to become a more reliable spot up shooter, which he credited to Thate), what Bledsoe can't do is shoot off the dribble. Like I mentioned before, he has the same profile as Tyreke Evans when it comes to that. I agree that it could be an issue, but I don't follow the sentiment that a SG must be a good shooter on every team, but this team does have need for that. I'm glad you're not a Mayo proponent, lol
botev1921, no position "has" to do anything, players just have to fit and compliment each other. I think even with his mediocre shooting, Bledsoe has other attributes that compliments the guys on offense and on defense, but he would need to start at SG and still be the backup PG, which leads me to the better solution.
He took 1.8 3PTA/36, so yes, not a lot.
Here's what I actually think a real solution that hasn't been mentioned yet could be. Bledsoe shoud be a 6th man like Jarret Jack and Jamal Crawford should be moved. Now, I do think him at SG can work with a SF that hits a lot of three's and with him in the corners where he's a good set shooter, and maximally with Blake as an improved shooter.
...on the other hand, the main issue is getting him more minutes. If your 1-3 rotation looked more like this:
Chris Paul (36 mins) / Eric Bledsoe (12 mins)
Starting SG (30 mins) / Eric Bledsoe (18 mins)
This gets Bledsoe 30 MPG but he doesn't start. Of course moving Jamal isn't really that feasible and he just came and was very useful in the regular season, but I'm just saying, it would actually be the better solution. CP plays 18 MPG with Bledsoe and 18 MPG with the other SG who will be a shooter. Games start with Paul and the other SG who would be a shooter. What player makes sense in this role? I don't know....
Don't let anyone forget Bledsoe did shoot 40% from the 3 point line and 75% from the ft line. I think he is becoming a better shooter than most think. lebron couldn't shoot worth beans when he came in and look at what he did in the finals. Maybe give it a whirl with bled as the sg.
Can't wait for the season already!
Im not sure if we can judge bledsoe statistically if hes a good 3pt shooter or not. because he played 15 min per game. And while Paul was injured, he wasnt used to get THAT much playing time.
Indeed we can't until he starts to shoot. However, from the little shooting he did last year, there were some very suspicious shot selections. Maybe he will work specifically on his shooting if Doc commits to him.
Yeah I don't trust Bledsoe's jumper at all. Some games it's there. Other games it's invisible. This is why I don't buy the idea of Bledsoe at the 2. A shooting guard should be a SHOOTING guard. I like Afflalo or Green at SG.
I agree and disagree at the same time. I agree that Bledsoe should be a better shooter for US, but I disagree that SG's need to be able to shoot. D Wade was a terrible shooter for most of his career. Problem is we don't need another slasher, we do need a consistent 3 point threat.
If we have to get rid of Bledsoe then Afflalo would be nice.
Bledsoe's an enigma. He's a SF in a PG's body. Hell, he rebounds better than most SF's.
20.4 MPG actually. In the 12 games Paul was injured and he started, he averaged 34.2 MPG and shot 43.8% 3PT with 1-2 attempts a game.
He can shoot of he's spotting up, he did it in college, but he's only assisted on 39.1% of his total made FG's because he's generally on the ball when he's on the court. When he isn't on the ball it's likely Jamal on the ball and he doesn't pass. Bledsoe can't pull up for there's off the dribble consistently, but that's not what we care about in spacing, it's whether he can stand in one spot and shoot three's.
When Paul was on the court with him was the other time he could spot up. His corner three percentage was 9/20 (45%), he couldn't shoot a lot because he wasn't in a position to take them too often as he's generally on the ball and at the too of the key when on the court.
Think Kidd and Chalmers in terms of ability to shoot the set 3PT shot. That's what you're looking for in Bledsoe.
Even with that, from the middle of the floor, he shot 7/13 (53.9%) from 3, the area he wasn't good at was above the break on the left side, 8/26 (30.8%). On the right side he was 6//16 (37.5%).
All he actually needs to do is quicken his release so he can get more shots off, and playing with Paul means he isn't always on the ball, so he's in more situations as a spot up shooter. I actually don't think that is as much of an issue as we seem to think.
We two about that "third" star, why not let it be Bledsoe? He is capable of continuing to develop into an 18/5/5 player who defends at a high level, he just needs to either quicken that release and keep shooting 35%+ from 3 or learn to shoot off the dribble. First one is easier.
CapsNClips interestingly enough I would argue that this team does need a slasher. There's no one on the team that actually has that identity. What is needed is both a slasher and a shooter, yes, wanting the best of both worlds.
If Bledsoe is working with Thate, I'm think I have faith that he can quicken his release and be an adequate 3PT shooter.
http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/94369 ... s-clippers
well heres the rumor about the raptors trading for bledsoe. derozan reminds me of a young corey maggette. although he's a good player, I'm looking for a guard who can shoot and spread the floor. derozan isn't a great shooter even though he's improved his midrange jumper.
Bledsoe better not be packing clothes for warm weather. he will need jackets, long underwear & gloves for cold temps.
I like DeRozan a lot.He is explosive,an improving defender,and a big 2 guard but isn't right for our team.We need shooting and DeRozan isn't a shooter.Rather have Affalo,even though he isn't as young and explosive he fits our team a lot better than DeRozan would.Also I hope we don't try and get Bargnani.He isn't a good rebounder or defender.He can shoot but is injured a lot.Not worth taking on his contract.
Afflalo or Barnes
Offense or Defense
What is needed more
we can have both
Kind of random for my first post, but oh well. As far as I know, Afflalo is a solid defender as well as an offensive threat. I like him a lot, but I'm still wondering whether he or Crawford would be playing late game situations. Maybe both with Afflalo at the 3?
Getting Matt Barnes back would be nice too.
Welcome Wholesum. I agree that signing Matt is highly recommended and should be done first before focusing on a starting shooting guard.
Ken Berger @KBergCBS 1m
Clips-Magic still discussing Afflalo for Bledsoe/Butler swap, source says. Theory: LA wants to see OJ Mayo/Tony Allen pursuit through first.
^^I wonder why not do both and get Afflalo and Tony Allen? I mean Tony Allen can come via FA, and Afflalo via the trade. Either one of them can slide in at SF. The small forward position would be a bit undersized, but should work against most teams.
Man can we please trade for Arron already?
http://www.arronafflalo4.com/news/diffe ... n-training
Love his attitude, he's looking to dominate next year. I don't want to play hardball and end up with somebody far less talented.
I'm happy that they're still discussing this, but is it really Bledsoe/Butler for just Afflalo? My #1 choice would be Afflalo, Mayo 2nd.
I'm thinking, we went 56 wins with an invisible starting Billups, with a lot of help from Crawford and Willie, I'm just excited with an actual starting SG that will actually play. Not only shoot, but defend????
I feel like afflalo, reddick and mayo are all pretty similar - but afflalo seems to fit our team the best. I hpe this goes through, and i'd love a draft pick.
This! If we're able to keep Barnes,watch out league we're gonna lock people up
Ditto- the Clippers should get that trade done already, and then fill the remaining holes.
I feel like Doc is going to hold onto bled until it's too late - he gives us a lot, but we need a more permanent building block.
That would be awesome to have Barnes as an integral part of the second unit again. He can start against the bigger SF's if need be as well.
Not sure if Afflalo/Nicholson for Bledsoe/Butler was ever on the table, but if it is? You gotta take it. At some point the F.O has to pull the trigger on a trade, I think ultimately Bledsoe will want to be a starting Point Guard, leading his own team. While the clippers could use some players that can fit in seamlessly.
Afflalo is the better fit (compared to Mayo/Redick) IMO because of his ability to play off the ball and he can slide down to SF while we play small-ball without being a liability on the defensive end. Nicholson is money from mid-range and that would do wonders for Chris, Blake, and even DJ.
@David I'm intrigued by the idea of getting both Allen/Afflalo. I've seen TA lock up Durant who has a good 6-7 inches on him. Another option could be splitting the MLE between Barnes and D. Wright. Both long defenders who can hit the 3-ball.
What are the downsides to Afflalo?
I guess I'm just looking at it in a weird way. Billups at SG was almost non-existent. Bring in Afflalo with his shooting and defense = upgrade.
maybe the prospect to nail a 3rd star and make a big three is the main reason to have doubts with AA. Solid pro, as a 3rd or 4th fiddle wont dissapoint, but if were trading blesdoe, maybe people will expect to add a star or somebody close to stardom.
Dorrell Wright sounds like a solid option- obviously a good 3 point shooter with solid defense (from what I've heard).
He can start at SF, and assuming the Afflalo trade goes through, we've got shooters and defense at SF and SG. Nice. Sounds like OKC is trying hard to sign him, however, and hopefully the FO considers him.
I don't know how my post ended up in the Reddick thread, but I was talking about Afflalo. He's the only SG I'd be comfortable with playing for our team. The others have way too many question marks. Let's get this done, Doc.

Ludwick signed? And others?
There have been reports on Friday that Ryan Ludwick and the Reds have agreed to terms on a new contract. I've asked a couple of different sources and was repeatedly told me it was close but not done.
When asked about the deal, GM Walt Jocketty would not reveal much.
"I expect something to be resolved the first of next week," Jocketty said.
I take that to mean the Reds are waiting for the physical to be taken to announce something. That's SOP for them.
*Jocketty also said he has had no talks about OF Michael Bourn with agent Scott Boras. The two met during the GM meetings, but it was to discuss Ryan Madson.
"He would have to really fall," Jocketty said. "I don't think so."
As for INF Jack Hannahan, the Reds are among a few teams still talking to the utility player.
"I think he is going to go into next week. There seems to be a lot of competition," Jocketty said.
4 Comments
2 years 15 mill for Ludwick. Not bad at all.
Hannahan makes no sense: he's an offensively terrible corner infielder with no upside. I'm also not sure why he's called a utility player since he's played 3700 innings at 3rd and 1st and 24 at anything else.
I'd be OK with Signng Hannahan at a low price, only because he hits left handed which is nice to help balance the bench

A middle school student reported to authorities that she was assaulted at school by the parent of another student, and an attorney for Aiken County Public Schools said the incident was handled correctly.
The principal at Aiken Middle School told authorities a parent assaulted a student at school, and that the parents of the alleged victim wanted to file a report.
The incident happened in the school lunchroom about 12:30 p.m. on Dec. 18, according to a report by the Aiken Department of Public Safety.
The 12-year-old victim told officers the 46-year-old suspect pushed her into a seat and "talked mean" to her about his daughter, according to the report.
"The father was in the school to deal with a situation with his daughter," the report stated. "The situation is said to be related to a relationship that the victim has with the suspect's daughter's old boyfriend."
The victim told officers that once the suspect left, she went into the courtyard and cried, according to the report. This was reportedly verified by another student.
After a man entered an elementary school in Newtown, Conn., and shot and killed 26 people on Dec. 14, Aiken County Public Schools reminded students and parents that they have a number of safety considerations in place at schools, including school resource officers, locking exterior doors when possible, security cameras in some buildings and having all visitors sign in at the office.
William Burkhalter, attorney for the school system, said the man in the incident at Aiken Middle School came to the school to visit the guidance area, signed in at the front office and was given a pass to the guidance area.
Burkhalter said the man entered the cafeteria when people were leaving to report to class.
"According to our information, it appears the people in charge that were supervising in the lunchroom area cornered him immediately and asked him why he was there," Burkhalter said, adding that the man told them he wanted a drink of water. The employees then directed the man out of the cafeteria.
"Everybody was doing what he or she was supposed to be doing," Burkhalter said.
Burkhalter said it's common for parents to come and visit parts of schools.
"All parents are required to sign in at our schools," he said. "If they are going to any place, they have to identify where it is."
The school was not made aware of the alleged assault until the following day, when the student told the principal about it, Burkhalter said. The principal then contacted police.
The school principal and a Public Safety officer looked at the video system, but found that the system didn't record the lunch area that day, according to the report.
Officers later spoke with the suspect at Public Safety headquarters.
"He first denies the incident but admits to being there," the report stated. "He then goes on to say he 'may have touched her shoulder,' then he stated he just didn't know."
No charges have been filed, and a city solicitor told officers she would not prosecute the case with the available evidence.
Officers told the suspect his actions were "inappropriate" and "uncalled for," and told him not to get in the middle of "kid drama."

Our discipline is noted for the energy and dynamism of its lecturers, and we take great care to ensure our students receive excellent instruction. Many of our courses are available flexibly via off-campus study, as well as face-to-face at our main Hobart and Launceston campuses. Our graduates regularly find employment in government departments such as Foreign Affairs, Treasury, Defence, and Health at the Federal level, as well as in the state public service. Others go on to careers at the United Nations, work for non-governmental organisations, write speeches and give advice to parliamentarians, act as lobbyists, or work for large corporations.
