All about Async/Await, System.Threading.Tasks, System.Collections.Concurrent, System.Linq, and more…
Available since .NET 4, ThreadLocal<T> is a container that holds a separate value for every thread. In practice, ThreadLocal<T> is often convenient for storing per-thread counters, resources, or partial results.
As mentioned earlier on this blog, we have been thinking about adding a Values property to enumerate over the values from all threads that ever stored a value into the ThreadLocal<T> instance. After getting helpful feedback from this blog and other sources, we ended up implementing the capability in .NET 4.5.
To use the Values property, you have to initialize the ThreadLocal<T> instance by setting the constructor argument trackAllValues= true. The sample below demonstrates this usage:
var localResult = new ThreadLocal<int>(() => 0, trackAllValues: true);
Parallel.For(0, 10000, i =>
localResult.Value += Compute(i);
int result = localResult.Values.Sum();
If you don't set the trackAllValues constructor argument to true, accessing the Values property will throw an InvalidOperationException. The Values property requires additional bookkeeping, and so ThreadLocal<T> requires that you declare upfront if you plan to access Values.
Most importantly, trackAllValues=true changes the lifetime of the values stored into a ThreadLocal<T>. By default (i.e., trackAllValues=false), a value stored into a ThreadLocal<T> is cleared when the ThreadLocal<T> instance is disposed/finalized OR when the corresponding thread exits, whichever happens first. This is the same behavior that ThreadLocal<T> had in .NET 4, and can be especially important when T is a large reference type.
However, removing a value when its corresponding thread exits would make the Values property poorly behaved. For example, in the code sample shown earlier in this blog post, the final summation should clearly process all partial results. It would be unacceptable to omit one of the partial results, say because the ThreadPool has decided to retire the thread that computed it.
So, if you set trackAllValues=true, the ThreadLocal instance will keep track of all values that have been stored into it, even if the corresponding threads are now gone. Then, the values can be returned via the Values property.
In addition to aggregation of partial results, the Values property can be useful for resource cleanup. The example below executes a Parallel.For loop, where each thread participating in the loop opens its own connection to the database. Once the loop completes, we can use the Values property to release all connections that have been opened:
var threadDbConn = new ThreadLocal<MyDbConnection>(() => MyDbConnection.Open(), true);
Parallel.For(0, 10000, i =>
var inputData = threadDbConn.Value.GetData(i);
foreach(var dbConn in threadDbConn.Values)
Additionally, readers of this blog suggested in comments that the Values property would be useful to simplify existing parallel loops, to aggregate data parallel code that does not use parallel loops, to implement an optimized object pool, and to gather high-performance statistics.
If you find this new property useful in your code, please let us know in the comments!
This is pretty awesome.
Now you guys just need to work on IIS being able to run parallel tasks without eating ANY worker threads from IIS. Virtual threads, separate thread pool etc, either way I should be able to parallelize task execution in IIS hosted applications without consuming ITS threads.
Nice, thx!
Very interesting!
Two questions pop to mind:
1. You wrote "By default (i.e., trackAllValues=false), a value stored into a ThreadLocal<T> is cleared when the ThreadLocal<T> instance is disposed/finalized OR when the corresponding thread exits, whichever happens first."
If the ThreadLocal field is explicitly set to null and there are no other references to its values, will all values (Ts) stored in it be garbage collected for all existing threads?
The use case I'm thinking about is when the ThreadLocal<T> type is used as the field in a caching class and when T is a large reference type. If that caching class has a Flush() method, how should it clear the values? Set the field to null or go over the Values and clear each?
2. Will the additional bookkeeping required by using trackAllValues=true incur a performance penalty?

Arizona Diamondbacks
Report: D-backs have interest in Rick Porcello
Another day, another trade rumor involving the Arizona Diamondbacks.
At least this one doesn't involve Justin Upton — at least not yet.
According to Fox Sports baseball scribe Jon Paul Morosi, the Diamondbacks have shown interest in Detroit Tigers right-hander Rick Porcello.
Porcello, who just turned 24 in December, already has won 48 games in four Major League seasons with the Tigers.
Last season Porcello went 10-12 for the American League champs, posting a 4.59 ERA with 107 strikeouts and 44 walks in 176.1 innings.
The Diamondbacks have unloaded some starting pitching this offseason, sending young right hander Trevor Bauer to the Cleveland Indians in a trade that secured shortstop prospect Didi Gregorius. But they still have a glut of pitchers and only five rotation spots to fill.
MLBTradeRumors.com also indicates that the Seattle Mariners have interest in dealing for Porcello.

This is brilliant!
Maybe I'm biased because I'm from Asheville, but I love ENOs. I still don't understand how they haven't made improvements in their straps, underquilts, etc. tho

Master Key
In Game Description
This universal key opens any basic lock.
Tool of the trade for thieves.
But in the cursed land of the Undead,
most doors are better left unopened.
- The starting item for the Thief class
- Available as a starting gift for any other class
- Sold by Domhnall of Zena for 5,000 souls, once he relocates to Firelink Shrine
Unlockable Doors
|Original Key
|Undead Burg
|Door behind three Hollow Warriors atop the stairs past the bridge with the firebombing Hollow Warriors.
|Residence Key
|Leads to a chest with 3 Gold Pine Resin.
|Undead Burg
|After climbing the stairs to the tower leading to the Taurus Demon, go straight through the door opposite the path you came
|Watchtower Basement Key
|Leads down to hostile NPC Havel the Rock.
Door behind Havel opens to the bottom of Darkroot Basin where the Crystal Golems are.
|Undead Parish
|Lautrec's cell.
|Mystery Key
|Only useful if you sequence break by using the Valley of Drakes shortcut, because the Mystery Key is found along the path to Undead Parish.
|Opens the door to the only bonfire in the area.
|Sewer Chamber Key
|Early access to the bonfire if you don't drop down the chute to the Giant Undead Rat.
|Sen's Fortress
|Opens the cages in the hidden area behind the sleeping Serpent Soldier
|Cage Key
|Early access to Big Hat Logan.
|New Londo Ruins
|Opens the door to the Valley of Drakes.
|Key to New Londo Ruins
|Early access to Astora's Straight Sword and Dragon Crest Shield.
This particular shortcut enables massive sequence breaking (see below)
New Game Plus
Once you have this key, it remains with you when you enter NG+
- Even though the Master Key can open the door leading to the 3 Gold Pine Resins, it can't open the door where Griggs is trapped.
- Having this key for your first run through of the game can make some situations easier but keep in mind that there are still a number of Special Keys still required for access to all areas.
Sequence Breaking
The Valley of Drakes shortcut is not only the first door that can be opened with the Master Key, it's also the most important. It enables you to sequence break, gaining useful loots and making several areas (and its bosses) optional.
- You can go to Blighttown's poison swamp, by taking the first small bridge in the Valley of Drakes and turning right into the green hued tunnel.
- This makes Lower Undead Burg, the Depths, and more than half of Blighttown optional.
- Early access to Shiva of the East as a vendor if you joined Forest Hunter covenant (see below).
- You can ring the second Bell of Awakening before the first, by killing Chaos Witch Quelaag. This grants access to the first half of Demon Ruins, the Chaos Servant covenant, and Eingyi.
- You can get a Pyromancy Flame from Eingyi and if you can upgrade it to at least +10, Quelaana of Izalith will appear outside Quelaag's Domain.
- You can farm Large and Green Titanite Shards earlier, by killing the Giant Leeches there.
- Early access to the Great Hollow and Ash Lake, potentially farming Twinkling Titanites from the Man-Eater Shells there.
- You can go to Darkroot Basin, by running past the Undead Dragon and two Drakes, then entering the elevator.
- On your way out of the tunnel past the Bonfire, grab the Grass Crest Shield but be wary of the Black Knight above.
- You can kill the Hydra, gaining access to Dusk of Oolacile earlier. This way, for example, you can get high magic damage with low INT by the means of Crown of Dusk and Oolacile Ivory Catalyst.
- Killing the Hydra lets you climb the ladder next to the waterfall and gain access to the 2nd half of Darkroot Garden without the Crest of Artorias, saving you 20,000 souls.
- This gives you access to the Enchanted Ember, as well as allowing you to join the Forest Hunter covenant (needed for Shiva of the East, see above).
- To farm the Clan of Forest Protectors efficiently, purchase the Crest of Artorias anyway from Andre and kindle the fire past the Illusory Wall next to the gate.
- You can get 20,000 souls by killing the nearby bosses (bell-gargoyles and Moonlight Butterfly). Summon Solaire and/or Lautrec to make the gargoyles easier. Beatrice can solo the butterfly.
- You can kill Havel the Rock earlier (for example, by using the Poison Mist you found in the swamp of Blighttown through the closed door where he stands). The watchtower door can then be opened safely with the Master Key.
- You can get to Undead Parish before the Undead Burg by climbing the hill above the Black Knight in Darkroot Basin, which connects to Darkroot Garden, near the old church building where Andre of Astora sets up base.
- This makes Undead Burg and more than 80% of Undead Parish optional, and early access to Undead Asylum as soon as you activate the shortcut to Firelink Shrine.
- From the Undead Parish, you can easily access the Altar of Sunlight, since the Hellkite Dragon will not spawn unless you're standing on the small bridge at the beginning of Undead Burg (where he initially shows himself).
- The Catacombs can be conquered with Astora's Straight Sword found next to the Undead Dragon in the Valley of Drakes, or other Divine weapons could be crafted with Andre, after you fetch him the Divine Ember by killing the Moonlight Butterfly.
- This gives you access to Vamos the fire blacksmith, as well as the Rite of Kindling after killing Pinwheel.
- You could also loot the Tomb of the Giants for the Covetous Silver Serpent Ring and Large Divine Ember if you bought Cast Light from Dusk (see above).

David Bowie
Great loss of a real gentleman today and a great artist who, like me in the kitchen, never liked doing the same thing and re-invented himself permanently.
In the mid 70's I was working in an art house cinema in Wardour Street, one day we were showing Jean-Luc Godard's "One Plus One Sympathy for the Devil" when this angel came into the cinema. Her name was Jeanette, she said she was a dancer and she lived in a squat in Regent's Park.
I saw David Bowie for the first time that year, it was the time he was really playing up the bisexual thing, hanging on Mick Ronson's arms most of the time.
One night I'm at the Speakeasy with Ted Baker, Phil Lynott, Katy Vaughan and others and I see Jeanette on the dance floor erotically dancing with another girl. I catch up to her at the bar and ask if she remembers me, she says "Oh you just saw me in the papers, I'm going out with David Bowie", I say "No, the Godard movie in Wardour Street last year...". She was stunned and became suddenly humble. We talked a long while, then she was gone. I think Leo Sayer wrote a song about her. (Read more about the encounter with Jeanette by clicking here)
I met David Bowie at the EuroRock Festival in Belfort France in the 1990's. We had a cup of green tea together and he complained about awful English tea with milk in it, "must be even worse with French milk", and he was wearing a dressing gown. It was pouring with rain and the stage was slowing sinking into the mud and sliding backwards towards a lake. Bowie went on stage nevertheless and gave a great performance, some songs were included in the TV show I did, it was shown all over the world.
Back then I would pay in the cinema takings to Barclays Bank Regent's Street every morning where there was also an angel behind the cashier's desk, Fuzanna Wakhani, I wonder what became of her, and Jeanette of course. Then I met another angel in the cinema....but that's another ongoing story.

It's been ages since I made this classic dip, I'd forgotten how simple to make and tasty it is. The secret is having the right size blender: not too big as you end up pushing the ingredients back down in the bowl to get properly blitzed; and not to small or you end up overflowing.
- put a tin of (cooked) chick peas and some garlic cloves (the number depends upon how garlicky you like your hummus) in the blender
- Add the juice of a lemon and some tahini (ground sesame paste, it can be found in most oriental markets)
- Start blending and add olive oil slowly until you obtain a smooth consistency
- Season with plenty of pepper
- Add a little cream or, better, fromage blank to lighten
- Decorate with sweet paprika and olive oil and serve as a dip with pitta bread

Cold almond soup
This is a really interesting soup, deliciously surprising.
- soak some white bread in a little water (cut the crusts off first)
- Take a similar amount of almonds (ie: equal amounts of bread and almonds) and grind in the blender
- Add two or three cloves of garlic and the soaked bread, grind a bit more until you get a paste
- Add a little sherry vinegar
- Slowly drizzle with olive oil and keep blending in the mixer until the resulting "paste" become smooth
- Add water slowly until you obtain the required consistency: the soup should be slightly thick but not too watery
- Season with plenty salt and pepper and place in the fridge to cool for at least 2 hours or more
- This soup need to be served very cool, you can add a couple of ice cubes before serving if necessary
- Decorate with roasted almonds and deseeded grapes (black and white)

Polenta with sour cherries
Our friend Balazs brought us a jar of sour cherries from Hungary so I used them in this starter, inspired by the Tables des Cordeliers restaurant in Condom (see here)
- make some polenta according to the instructions on the packet, add some chopped sun-dried tomatoes and a little grated parmesan. Press down into a square or rectangular dish and put in the fridge to set.
- Reduce some sour cherries in their juice with a little red wine vinegar and some sugar. Crush the cherries into a pulp and boil until the sauce starts to thicken.
- Remove the pips from a few fresh cherries (I have a de-pipper designed for olives but it works for cherries too)
- Add the fresh cherries to the sauce for just one minute so they heat through
- slice "fingers" of polenta and place them under a hot grill until they are heated through and starting to "toast" on top
- decorate the polenta slices with small squares of feta cheese and the fresh cherries
- garnish with the hot cherry sauce

I came across this beast at the fishmongers, absolutely divine.
- make some diagonal incisions in the fish.
- Rub some salt, pepper and herbs (thyme is good, oregano or rosemary too) into the flesh
- Place the fish, dar side up, in a roasting pan
- Drizzle with olive oil and a little white wine
- Place some lemon slices on top
- Bake in a hot oven for 25 minutes or more for a big fish

Guinea Fowl with autumn fruit
We have a lot of fruit in the orchard and it's been a bumper year for figs.
- melt some butter in a small pan and skim off the white impurities that come to the surface, these are the bits that can burn. The result is "clarified butter" but you can also use Ghee from India, which is the same thing.
- Mix the melted clarified butter with some honey and baste a guinea fowl all over. Season well. Place is a roasting pan. You can also use a small chicken.
- Cook in the oven at 180°. For a guinea fowl the total cooking time will be about 45 minutes, you will need longer for a chicken.
- 20 minutes before the end of the cooking time add the following mixture to the pan:
- peeled and chopped pears
- peeled and chopped apples
- roughly chopped walnuts
- quartered fresh figs
- some raisons and sultanas
- the bird should be golden brown when ready, with delicious crispy skin. You can serve as is, or carve the meat and serve with the fruit and couscous (photo right)

Rupiah Gains on Speculation Central Bank Intervened; Bonds Rise
Indonesia's rupiah gained on speculation the central bank sought a stronger currency to slow inflation. Bonds rose.
Bank Indonesia intervened in the foreign-exchange and debt markets to stabilize the exchange rate, according to an April 12 statement on its website. The monetary authority attributed recent losses in the rupiah, the worst performer among Asia's 10 most-traded currencies excluding the yen this year, to expectations for faster local inflation and a global economic slowdown, and dollar demand from importers.
"Bank Indonesia hopes the strengthening rupiah will support the economy," said Gusti Kahari, a foreign-exchange dealer at PT Bank Artha Graha Internasional in Jakarta.
The rupiah gained 0.6 percent to 9,130 per dollar as of 4:31 p.m. in Jakarta, the biggest advance in more than six weeks, according to prices from local banks compiled by Bloomberg. One-month implied volatility, which measures exchange-rate swings used to price options, was steady at 6.50 percent.
Annual inflation quickened to 3.97 percent in March from 3.56 percent the previous month, acclerating for the first time since August 2011, government data show. The central bank is shifting its policy focus to consumer-price gains from economic growth, Perry Warjiyo, director of economic research and monetary policy, said on April 17.
Bond Sale
Indonesia sold $2.5 billion of dollar-denominated bonds, with investors bidding for 3.2 times more than the amount offered, the finance ministry said yesterday.
The government issued $2 billion of notes due in April 2022 to yield 3.85 percent, or 184 basis points more than that for similar-maturity Treasuries, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. It also sold $500 million more of 5.25 percent bonds due 2042 at a yield of 4.95 percent, 181 basis points more than U.S. debt.
The yield on the government's 7 percent bonds due May 2022 fell six basis points, or 0.06 percentage point, to a nearly two-week low of 5.93 percent, according to closing prices from the Inter Dealer Market Association.

Arts Talking Fountain
posted by June 8 at 16:01 PMon
Anyone who's found themselves thirsty in Sea-Tac airport has probably fallen victim to the Talking Fountain. Even when I know to expect the startlingly loud noise of an amplified babbling brook, I feel instantly nervous, hurried, and vulnerable. I guess it's sort of amusing to watch unsuspecting travelers jump during their turn at the fountain, but I don't think it's the calming work it was intended to be. The piece was designed by Jim Green in 1992.

SCPC Visits Yantaishan Hospital in Yantai, China
This information was contributed by Deb Koeppen, BSN RN, the Director of Business Development at the Society of Cardiovascular Patient Care
I am met in the early morning by hospital administration from Yantaishan Hospital that came to the hotel where I was staying to share a quick breakfast before leaving for their facility. Two of the individuals are known to me from their visit to the U.S. where they attended an accreditation workshop. Noting that I wear only a leather jacket to venture outside, the VP takes off her coat and insists that I borrow this from her. She is very insistent and so I comply. Following breakfast we step outside into the frigid morning air and into a van. I believe the warmth of the VPs kind gesture provided more than that of the coat. To the left, I see the sun rising over the Yellow Sea. Arriving after dark last evening, I was unaware that Yantai was a port city and situated on the tip of a Peninsula. In 2004, it was recognized as the most charming city in all of China. Looking out over the water, mountains dressed in a morning mist, I could certainly see why.
Much smaller in comparison to Shanghai, Yantai would still be considered a large city by U.S. standards. We drive a short distance through narrow cobblestone streets to reach the hospital which also boasts a beautiful view of the Sea. As we approach, it is obvious the facility was built years ago. We enter through a side door in an alleyway and are quickly taken up 4 flights of narrow and winding steps to reach a room, well let and filled with photographs and other memorabilia celebrating the hospitals rich history. Built by the French in the mid 1800's, it appeared from my first impression, that little had changed, at least in this building. Stained glass windows and curved, low doorways added a character seldom seen in contemporary hospitals found in the states.
Our "tour guide" introduces herself as a physician and walks us through Yantaishan hospitals rich history. Her pride is remarkable as we progress through each station. Notable and "famous" pictures of surgeons, old photographs of the hospitals participation in treating the survivors of a famous disaster at sea decades ago and even the current president's participation in the Beijing Olympics are on display.
After the tour, our guide excuses herself, apologizing that she must leave as there is an emergency surgery and as the surgeon, she plays an important role. Said with all seriousness, I couldn't help but smile.
Climbing back down the narrow staircase proved a bit more challenging than the trip up but achieved with only a slight stumble about midway. We are then let into an auditorium filled with over 100 physicians and nurses. My picture hangs on a poster along with details provided prior to my arrival about the Society and my current position. I am seated on stage with hospital administration and given a hearty welcome complete with applause and thanks for my visit. The day's agenda sits before me and it is very full. Following my lecture will be tours and Q&A sessions. Everyone is eager to use every minute I am there to help them improve their ACS processes……They wish to become an accredited CPC next spring. What I will discover later is that they are well on their way.

Manchester United Message Board
Thoughts about 'that' match
I think City's performance was very similar to United's against Arsenal many times over the last few years at the Emirates. Let the opposition have as much of the ball as it wants up to the last third and then break with serious intent and be ruthless in execution. It has usually worked, with Arsenal fans bleating about how much ball they had until United went 2 goals up etc, but they usually ended in disarray.
Same thing happened in reverse on Sunday. Remember Evans got sent off because 'B' was about to put City 2-0 up with 11 versus 11. They started on the front foot in 2nd half and looked like increasing the lead.
City have some fine players like Silva, and 'B' was dangerous. but their other 'foreign names' were pretty quiet until very late on. The real difference on Sunday was made by much more prosaic players. Richards, Clichy, Barry and Milner won their individual battles against their opposite numbers. When you get outplayed by Barry and Milner you know you have problems, and this is what happened.
I think, hope, pray that United will get a new left back in January ( at least 12 months too late). I doubt whether they will be able to purchase a good enough central midfielder at that time. I think Pogba will get his chance earlier than planned. I hope Morrison can persuade Fergie he is 'right enough in the head' to get an early chance. I think Lindegaard will get a run of games. Other than that I don't think there are a lot of alternatives other than hard work and application. I expect Evra and Anderson to play little or no part going forward, and Rio's position is dodgy.
After the Everton game United have a a lengthy run of what should be 'easier games'. And City run into a potential minefield of games in 3 weeks time. As usual its only when 1 Jan is past that we will see how things are really looking.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies

'I think City's performance was very similar to United's against Arsenal many times over the last few years at the Emirates'
Are you implying that City had payed off the referee perchance?
Disagree on 'rotating' De Gea out of the team to give Lindegaard a run. There was little he could do about the goals, and I don't think VDS would have made any real difference. De Gea has been getting better with every game, excellent at Anfield the weekend before. Lindegaard is a decent keeper also thought, but his distribution isn't anywhere as good as De Gea's. He just hoofs it up field too much for my liking.
Instability at the back is out biggest problem at the moment. We need more luck with injuries so we can try and get a settled back 4 playing regularly.
The weak link is Evra. He needs reminding he's a left back not a left winger! He should be dropped, but for who is the problem. I still like Fabio, but the lad can barely make it through more than an hour of a match lately. I'm hoping he toughens up as he ages. I like Fryers, but he needs a few more cup run outs to assess him before throwing him into league matches.
Evans. I wish he could sort out his concentration level! He can be a great defender, and I thought he had a decent first half, but he is prone to switching off and then getting himself in a spot of bother. He'd had a good start to the season, but he killed the game for us on Sunday.
Ferdinand is still an intelligent player, but Jones/Smalling should be edging him out as first team regular. He had an excellent game at Anfield, but like the rest of the back 4, was poor on Sunday.
I'm hoping a fit Vidic will help sure things up. We need someone back there to organise things.
Central midfield is still our achilles heel. As half agree with Stefan on Anderson. I'm not giving up on him yet, but him not having a player like Cleverley next to him is no excuse for his often shit passing.
Fergie should throw caution to the wind and get Pogba involved straight away. He decided not to tie up a deal for a new midfielder. Its clear at present that the current crop are still found lacking, so give Pogba his chance.
Same goes for Morrison. This lads got a special talent and could be the spark we need putting back in the team if given the opportunity.
- 1 Reply to Steve
Agree with most of that Steve.
I don't want to be too harsh on DG , but he did look a little 'lost' when the ball kept going past him. I hoped for more.
Evra should be dropped, and clearly so.
If they are good enough they are old enough. Time to find out about both Pogba and Morrison.
1) Agree with the Arsenal analogy, though City's football at its fluent best is 'Arsenal' better than the real Arsenal can manage.
2) Which left back would you like to see here?
3) 'B' has the ability to be as good as Henry was in his pomp - this is not a snap judgement, it's something I've thought since his debut season for Inter. Shame for football that he's mental.
4) You single out Anderson in midfield - yes he was awful defensively in the 2nd half, but Fletcher was no better. In fact, Fletcher was worse in the 1st half, slowing down our attacks to a snail pace - he seemed to be suffering from Mikel syndrome. The problem I have with Anderson is his evidently poor attitude to football, most vividly represented by his huge waistline. There is no excuse for it, and his general sluggishness. Seeing highlights of his 1st season at the club make me sad at what could have been.
5) De Gea was largely blameless - I think Lindegaard probably has some mistakes in him as well, like all goalkeepers.
6) Pogba should play tonight, and hopefully be integrated soon into the EPL squads. We could even see Morrison tonight.
7) Fergie really should have purchased a central midfielder in the summer.

Yes City are better than Arsenal were/are.
I think United were interested in the C.American playing for Celtic but he got injured. Now seem to fancy a young Spaniard. Personally I thought the guy Liverpool bought from Newcastle was ideal.
Still not over-impressed by 'B', perhaps I'm biased.
Fletcher wasn't very good but he isn't 'sloppy'. Anderson is incredibly sloppy. You just cant trust him. Past his sell by date I fear.
De Gea was not particularly to blame. But I watched Chelsea at 9 men admittedly against QPR. Cech saved them going 2 down on numerous occasions faced with similar shots/crosses. DG just wasn't a 'saviour'. I doubt it would have 4 nevermind 6 if VDS had been in goal. Lindegaard deserves a chance.
Fergie seems almost intimidated about purchasing a CM. The Veron experience weighs heavily I think. What is certain, Rooney is not up to that job ( and I admit to thinking he might be). Personally I have had my fill of S. Americans. Lets get a good northern European, someone who is consistent. There must be a good German out there!
All 3 make excellent points.
Bum-licking over...!
Eric Cantona Eric Cantona Oct 25, 2011 14:14 Flag
Do you not think some of the tactics were wrong in the 2nd half? Instead of shoring up the defence United went gung ho, especially after getting their goal and just left the back two totally exposed.
I know people like to have a go at Carrick but he would have made a difference in protecting the defence.
And as with Barry & Milner, you know things are bad when Clichy gets the better of you. Should have put Valencia on to see what that would have done. Could only have been better than Nani.

"Instead of shoring up the defence United went gung ho"
Everyone from Fergie downwards always tells us that United's way is to attack, to try to win every game. If that's the case, then at 3-1 down they *should* have been attacking, shouldn't they? Isn't it better to try to get a draw than to worry about shipping another goal or two? After all, in the unlikely event of pulling level you're four league points closer to City, and two more above Chelsea. What's the risk of another goal or two difference compared to that?
I think the problem wasn't the decision to attack, but that the defence was shambolic.
But, as Mancini says, it's only one game. It's embarrassing for you, but no more than that.
Le Professeur Le Professeur Oct 25, 2011 14:27 Flag
Eric, you know when virtually the entire team is playing poorly, its not so much about individuals, but more about tactics. Especially as Citeh only had two stand out players up until the sending off.
This is one of those instances where the manager should take most of the blame. He made countless tactical errors 2nd half.

my spirit: free as the wind blows...
Posted by ria , 29 July 2007 · 88 views
my story is no different then yours, it is a common tale, one of betrayal and so much unharbored anguish that time to time has revealed itself over the years-yet, i have persevered as a strong ship that has sailed over turbulent waters, it has never been a smooth sail, just one thing for certain: i belong here, i have a purpose...i spoke out about my abuse to protect a younger cousin and i didn't realize how harrowing that experience would become, to this day haunting me as if i did the wrong thing! gosh, it would be one thing if that child who i sought out to protect was still in the picture, but sadly so, she's not-i had a fallout with her this past year on my b'day-her mom had exploited my abuse to people continents over and made it seem like it was the best gossip yet to know! after years, i learned this and i didn't respond very well-having very little that is considered private, i felt that this little bit of privacy was due to me and by her revealing something so deep, so ugly , only made me look even more vulnerable-when i confronted her mom, she went into a rage and said some very unpleasant things-to which my cousin just supported her mom-lovely isn't it?
as far as the pedophile is concerned, no charges were pressed to "protect the family honor"- i wish i had done this because over time, he and his wife have been frequenting places that my family has gone to- or been to upcoming weddings! by the way, the others that do know about what happened are his brothers! this pedophile is unfortunately my mom's brother-
what i buried behind, what i forgot, what i moved on from, was something like quicksand, where the other uncles just kept blindly, and lending a deaf ear, continued to interact with this sicko! and continued to add to the humiliation that i worked years on to rebuild my ego, my self esteem!
i hit the breaking point over this past weekend where i just cried and couldn't stop bawling, not out of self pity but because of the deep seated rage and anger that sits deep within-this past april, i saw my perpetrator after 13 yrs at my aunt's wake/funeral-obviously i couldn't flee the scene, coz there were others that don't know about what has ensued-but i'll never forget the look in his devious eyes, still taunting me, and his wife too, his apprentice that continues to move around social circles as if nothing was wrong-no harm was done! i have cut my ties with my mom's side-i voiced this earlier today to her sister-who has been supportive of this situation-and realizes that this situation has gone too far-
i am still in my last phase of grad studies and i can't be bothered with this right now-yet, i do know that i can sleep at nite not having him at my bedside trying anything anymore-i know i can see myself in the mirror and not feel like a hypocrite-coz that's what his family has been all this time-covering up sins of the past, with more ignorance! i know i am free from this burden and not anchored behind iron bars-my soul has always been free-and my perpetrator hasn't been able to destroy my spirit-he may have destroyed my childhood and at times i do have terrible reminders of simple things that a child would enjoy-how he made references to my body as compared to the baboon's backside! yes, how demented and twisted can one be? how he used horror flicks to start the game of abuse-when i was 9-and i innocently watched movies for what they were-how he coerced me into doing things with him for "rewards"-how he got angry that i wouldn't succumb to his advances out in public yet secluded shopping lots-now, after 20 yrs, i still can see it all picture clear-what i endured and where i am heading is a haven, a sanctuary for me to just be at peace-and i will grow in strenghth by those of you who have shared a common story, a common pain-

Another repayment has been made to the Waitaki District
Council for a $10 million loan it made in 2006 to help build
the North Otago Irrigation Company's scheme.
On Tuesday, company chief executive Robyn Wells presented the
council with a cheque for $822,011, made up of interest and
repayment of principal.
The company had now paid the council $1.8 million, which
included $1.329 million in principal repayments and the rest
in interest.
Waitaki Mayor Alex Familton said the payment was
''outstanding progress''.
The district's agricultural base needed irrigation and in the
future would make full use of the company's scheme.
The company approached the council in 2006 when it was
building the 10,000ha first stage of the scheme, which cost
about $67 million, and asked it to contribute.
The council granted a loan of $10 million for extra
infrastructure to be built to ensure enough water was
available for a second stage of a further 10,000ha.
That stage was now being developed and, as farmers bought
shares to secure water, the company was repaying the loan and
interest to the council.

My first appointment with her went fine but on one occasion I had to wait 45 minutes in the exam room while I heard her laughing and talking with a patient in another room. I had to leave and she did call and apologize so I continued to see her., until I was having some issues and she had a tech do an ultrasound and then afterward called me in her office to tell me I had ovarian cancer. She said I needed a hysterectomy immediately. What followed was nothing short of a nightmare. After telling me this, her office staff was rude and uncaring, she didn't follow through with what she told me she would do after this devastating news so I sought out a second opinion. I got into an oncologist who did a complete exam and said I did not have ovarian cancer and did not need surgery. She was put off by my seeking a second opinion, but thank God I did. Her intentions may have been good, but she relied on a technician's "opinion" without doing the ultrasound herself and then gives someone news like that???? I would find another OBGYN, there are literally hundreds in Columbus.
She is making my 3rd baby easy!
I was supposed to see another MD, but she was out on leave. I had to make an appointment with this woman. I waited forever. Then she rudely told me she had to care for someone else and I could leave or continue to wait. I was really sick. So I waited. She came back and was so rude. She had a medical student with her that apologized for her rudeness when she left the room. I don't know if she was having a bad day. However, I would not go to this insensitive woman. There is no reason to be so rude.
Dr. Cook is fantastic! She has a great bedside manner. She listens well and is attentive. I've been going to Dr. cook for about 10yrs., I used to get annoyed with the wait time however I have noticed that in the past 2 -3 yrs that has changed (right around the time the Worthington office closed) I was just there for my annual exam and was in/out in less than 45min. I have no complaints about the wait time anymore. If I had anything that I would like to see change it would be that I wish the offices were a little warmer (nobody likes to be naked and cold) and I wish they would use real gowns instead of those paper shirts. I have recommended at least 5 people to her and ALL of them are still with her and very happy.
She was ok, until I had an annual exam.The part where she checks for tumors, was painful and too rough. I won't be going back. .......
Dr cook is the most self centered, rude gyno I have ever come accross. She would not help me and make my accomadations that I wanted to ensure my health. She was rude and disrespectful and when I called her out on it. She did not appologize. She said "I guess you cant make everyone happy" RUDE It is my body and my treatment. She didnt even try to help me.
Dr Cook is a great doctor. And her staff is great as well. Only complaint is never being seen on time. I always plan for a wait! That's why I try to get early morning appts. The office has less time to be running behind.
I've been Dr. Cook's patient for over 10 years. As a doctor, she was compassionate, gentle, and simply amazing throughout our heartbreaks of miscarriages. During this pregnancy, she has been nothing but terrific (and the nurses, especially Hailey & Paige, are just as amazing). It may take a few minutes to wait to see her, but it's well worth it as she takes time to treat each patient. Excellent doctor & team!
The unusually long wait time I had to see Dr. Cook was well worth it! She is a wonderful, gracious, caring and kind doctor. She helped me out with a problem that no one else cared to look into. I left her office with such a sense of relief that I almost danced down the hallway! She and her staff are outstanding!!
I Love Tracy Cook, she is great doctor..been going to her forever.I would recommend my friends to her.

Thank You so much Ravi for hanging the yoke of a Wall Street cockroach like Marxe and Greenhouse around our neck here...remember us, the loyal retail investors? didn't think so.
As unfortunate as the truth might be, Mr. Wacko-Job might be right about his $1.25 prognosis. We be just about correspond to the 20% dilution caused by the cockroach shares and the intermediate low obtained several weeks back when (probably the same cockroaches) sold off ECTY into oversold territory in an ugly 5 or 6 day blitz. In other words: $1.51/1.2= 1.26. this is where we are going, at least, even if the cockroach holds, since the entire markets know that Marxe will sell at a trifle above $1.60 come h_ll or high water. Who knows, looking at their record of 10:1 sales to buy ratio over the past 2 years, they'll probably work this one all the way down on their own, play both sides of the game, and wind up paying a buck at share when it's most convenient for them, and most inconvenient to retail investor "bagholders". Again, thanks so much, Ravi.
Praise the Lord we had a miracle happen today ;-) People from all around the world are visiting the ECTY board to witness the miracle .. I bet 60 minutes will do a story on it and the thread will end up on ebay ;-) ...
Brian.decent chance u will be out manana.why would u use the word miracle sees 1.60 2 trading days ago.MIRACLE TOMM?could B
That did not take long did it
Good catch. Someone doesn't believe in holding true to intentions. Brian, if you did, you would no doubt see this go higher than 1.60 in the next year. It's your call, your money. This is in no way financial advice, as you must do your own due diligence in making decisions, but as for me, I'm staying in and will only get out if signs point to a price to drop substantial enough to sell out and buy back my shares at a lower price (as it just did). I haven't decided on a final exit point just yet. I'll stay as long as ECTY is making solid progress conducive to fostering a profitable business. Aside from pps, ECTY is doing better than ever right now in establishing a solid business.
With a market like this though, intentions can be hard to stick by. Don't let emotions cloud your judgment.
Your loss. This company is going places, with or without Marxe & Greenhouse. They are merely an annoying speedbump.
I'll take a look again when it's in the $1.00-$1.25 region. Till then, good luck to the both of us, and Happy 4th!

I have a sequence of contiguous, time-stamped data. The data-sequence has gaps in it where the data is not contiguous. I want create a method to split the sequence up into a sequence of sequences so that each subsequence contains contiguous data (split the input-sequence at the gaps).
- The return value must be a sequence of sequences to ensure that elements are only produced as needed (cannot use list/array/cacheing)
- The solution must NOT be O(n^2), probably ruling out a Seq.take - Seq.skip pattern (cf. Brian's post)
- Bonus points for a functionally idiomatic approach (since I want to become more proficient at functional programming), but it's not a requirement.
Method signature
let groupContiguousDataPoints (timeBetweenContiguousDataPoints : TimeSpan) (dataPointsWithHoles : seq<DateTime * float>) : (seq<seq< DateTime * float >>)= ...
On the face of it the problem looked trivial to me, but even employing Seq.pairwise, IEnumerator<_>, sequence comprehensions and yield statements, the solution eludes me. I am sure that this is because I still lack experience with combining F#-idioms, or possibly because there are some language-constructs that I have not yet been exposed to.
// Test data
let numbers = {1.0..1000.0}
let baseTime = DateTime.Now
let contiguousTimeStamps = seq { for n in numbers ->baseTime.AddMinutes(n)}
let dataWithOccationalHoles = Seq.zip contiguousTimeStamps numbers |> Seq.filter (fun (dateTime, num) -> num % 77.0 <> 0.0) // Has a gap in the data every 77 items
let timeBetweenContiguousValues = (new TimeSpan(0,1,0))
dataWithOccationalHoles |> groupContiguousDataPoints timeBetweenContiguousValues |> Seq.iteri (fun i sequence -> printfn "Group %d has %d data-points: Head: %f" i (Seq.length sequence) (snd(Seq.hd sequence)))

Hey everyone. I have a slightly different goal in mind with NGG templates. I don't want to use the pageID links for my galleries. Instead, I'd prefer to have a Photos section (which I do now) which uses the built in album/gallery structure of NGG. I'd love to get some form of breadcrumb links working too.
On those sub gallery pages, I'd like to insert the pageID links, which I currently have set to posts (not pages, as the NGG was originally designed (see this awesome howto!)).
The trouble is, I can't find a good list of the available variables that NGG lets us use in templates. Otherwise, I think I might be able to do what I'm trying to do, all in templates.
Any ideas or thoughts?

Hazelnut-Chocolate Thumbprint Cookies with Raspberry Jam
From EatingWell: November/December 2013
This healthy chocolate thumbprint cookie recipe incorporates dried cranberries and toasted hazelnuts into the chocolate cookie dough before it's rolled into jam-filled cookies. Here the cookies are drizzled with chocolate icing, filled with raspberry jam and topped with a whole hazelnut. You can elaborate on this basic recipe and use any type of jam, icing or nut for a plate of mixed cookies.
Makes: 4 dozen 1 1/2-inch cookies
Serving Size: 1 1/2-inch cookie

Cookie Dough & Filling
- 1 1/4 cups chopped semisweet or bittersweet chocolate (about 6 ounces)
- 2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, American-style or Dutch-process
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup honey
- 3 tablespoons canola oil or corn oil
- 2 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2/3 cup white whole-wheat flour (see Tips)
- 2/3 cup sweetened dried cranberries, coarsely chopped
- 2/3 cup chopped toasted and skinned hazelnuts (see Tips), plus about 1/2 cup left whole for decorating
- 1/2 cup raspberry jam or preserves
Chocolate Drizzle
- 3 1/2 ounces dark chocolate, coarsely chopped
- 1/4 cup whole milk
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
- To prepare cookies: Position a rack in middle of oven; preheat to 350°F. Line a large baking sheet(s) with parchment paper.
- Grind chocolate in a food processor using on/off pulses until coarsely ground. Transfer to a mixing bowl and add cocoa, sugar, baking powder and salt; stir until blended. With an electric mixer on low, then medium speed, add eggs, then honey, oil and vanilla and beat until combined. Beat in all-purpose and whole-wheat flour, then cranberries and nuts until thoroughly incorporated. (The dough will be stiff.)
- Divide the dough into quarters. Roll each quarter into a 9-inch "log." Slice the log into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball. Place about 1 1/2 inches apart on a prepared baking sheet. Press a well into the center of each cookie with a thumb. Fill with about 1/2 teaspoon jam. Lightly press a whole hazelnut into the jam.
- Bake the cookies on the center rack, one pan at a time, until firm when pressed near the edge, 8 to 12 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool to room temperature.
- To prepare chocolate drizzle: Put chocolate in a small, deep heatproof bowl. Set a fine sieve by the bowl. Put milk in a 2-cup microwave-safe glass measuring cup and microwave on High just until it begins to boil and foam up the sides, 40 to 60 seconds. Pour half the hot milk through the sieve onto the chocolate and let stand without stirring for about 2 minutes to soften the chocolate. Stir vigorously until smooth and the chocolate is mostly melted.
- Pour the remaining milk through the sieve into the bowl. Add vanilla. Stir vigorously until smooth. Sift confectioners' sugar onto the mixture and stir in thoroughly.
- To decorate cookies: Spoon the icing into a small plastic bag with a tiny tip of one corner snipped off. Drizzle over the cooled cookies. Or dip a fork into the icing and quickly wave it over the cookies. Let stand until the chocolate i
Tips & Notes
- Make Ahead Tip: Cover and refrigerate the cookie dough for up to 1 day. Store baked cookies airtight in a single layer for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
- Tips:
- White whole-wheat flour is made from a special variety of white wheat that is lighter in color and flavor but has the same nutritional properties as regular whole-wheat flour. It is available at large supermarkets and natural-foods stores and online at bobsredmill.com or kingarthurflour.com. Store it in the freezer.
- To toast and skin whole hazelnuts: Spread on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F, stirring occasionally, until fragrant and lightly browned, 7 to 9 minutes. After toasting, let hazelnuts cool for a few minutes, then rub together in a clean kitchen towel to release most of the papery skins.

Lehtonen Agrees To One Year Contract

Comments (0)
from Craig Custance of the Sporting News,
Just got word that the Thrashers signed goalie Kari Lehtonen to a one-year deal worth $3 million. It's an interesting number because that means backup Johan Hedberg is on the books longer than the franchise goalie.

Shoreline Firewall 4.2.4 Includes IPv6 Variant
The Shoreline Firewall product, also known as Shorewall, has arrived in its 4.2.4 version. The new release includes a configuration tool for IPv6 networks.
Analogous to their IPv4 forerunners, the IPv6 packages are called Shorewall6 and Shorewall6-lite. The configuration data is stored in the /etc/shorewall6/ and /etc/shorewall6-lite directories, respectively. As with Netfilter, the IPv4 and IPv6 variants are configured and controlled separately. Even starting and stopping the traffic is separate for each address family.
Shorewall6 doesn't use Network Address Translation (NAT), rather local addresses use an IPv6 prefix. The Shoreline release announcement includes further details. Downloads are available here in various package formats.

fit perfect price, little high
i love it
Gorgeous, flattens tummy, good fabric Could be a tat longer
I bought these a month ago and have been using them almost every day for the gym. Sooo comfy, I love how they press the tummy in and create a gorgeous waist line with even the tightest of tank tops.
I am relatively tall (174cm) so these are maybe a centimeter or two too short for me, but it's not that noticeable.
Before buying I tried out the blue leggings of this same style, just tight at the bottom, and they seemed to be very see-through when the fabric stretched (say, when doing squats, your underwear would peek through). With these I don't have this issue.
Very happy with the purchase!
feel nothing
Good fit
