W131 Elementary Composition (3 Cr.)
W131 is a course in academic writing that attempts to integrate critical reading, thinking, and writing about phenomena and issues in our culture. Rather than practicing a set of discrete skills or often unrelated modes of discourse, the course aims to build sequentially on students' ability to read both written and cultural texts closely and critically and to analyze those texts in ways that also engage and problematize students' own experience, the perspectives of "experts," and the world they live in.
W131 aims to show students how the use of sources, agreement/disagreement, and personal response can be made to serve independent, purposeful, and well-supported analytical writing.
In summary, the course offers instruction and practice in the reading, writing, and critical thinking skills required in college. Emphasis is on written assignments that require synthesis, analysis, and argument based on sources.
W131 Elementary Composition - Basic Writing
The Composition program offers several sections of W131-Basic Writing (BW) each semester as well. In most important respects, the BW version of W131 is no different from other versions of W131: like other versions, the BW sections provide instruction and practice in the fundamental reading and writing skills required in college, emphasizing written assignments that require synthesis, analysis, and argument based on sources. In other respects, however, the BW version of W131 offers eligible students several advantages. For one, BW sections are considerably smaller than other W131 sections to allow for greater interaction between instructor and student. To this end, all BW sections are taught by experienced instructors who are committed to working closely with students. Eligibility to enroll in the Basic Writing sections of W131 is dependent on the student's reported ACT English or SAT Verbal scores. Most eligible students have been identified by UDIV advising and have already been authorized, however, students who suspect they should be placed into a Basic Writing section of W131 but are blocked from enrollment should contact their advisor to determine eligibility and submit a request via our online permission form for consent to register. For more information, students may also contact:
Kristal Arsenault
Composition Program Secretary
(812) 855-1430
Department of English; Ballantine Hall 446
Eligibility is based on the following guidelines:
ACT ENGLISH 1-21 or SAT Critical Reading 200-460
Basic Writing STRONGLY ADVISED
ACT ENGLISH 22 or SAT Critical Reading 470-480
Basic Writing Recommended
Note: The Basic Writing section fulfills the English composition requirement. There is nothing that appears on a student's transcript to indicate that a BW section was taken rather than some other version of W131.
W131 Elementary Composition - Multilingual
ENG W131ML is designed for those students whose core educational backgrounds occurred in languages other than English. Like other sections of ENG W131, this course offers rigorous instruction in understanding college-level writing and research as a multivocal process. It bears the same amount of credit, requires the same amount of writing, and places the same emphasis on critical thinking, analytical writing, and synthesis as does ENG W131; but it encourages students to gain lexical knowledge in a particular issue or topic area, equips them to become more independent writers of English, and provides them with the opportunity to focus on specific linguistic concerns.
ENG W131ML also offers students a smaller class size and a setting that gives extra attention to learning the conventions related to academic writing in western traditions, as well as opportunities to consider how those conventions function cross-culturally.
Most international students will be immediately eligible to enroll in this course based on a combination of factors, including prior language instruction and TOEFL or IELTS scores. However, if you are not immediately eligible and are seeking permission to enroll, then please consult the Directed Self-Placement Guide and submit a request via our online permission form for consent to register.
W143 Interdisciplinary Study of Expository Writing (1 cr.)
The study of writing in conjunction with a discipline outside English language and literature. Credit for this course will be available to students who enroll in special sections of non-English introductory courses that include a writing component. May be repeated once for credit.
W170 Projects in Reading and Writing (3 cr.)
W170 represents an alternative to W131, satisfying the freshman composition requirement but designed to offer more intensive writing and reading instruction around some theme or question. Open to all freshmen, it typically attracts those who are slightly more serious about reading and writing and more comfortable assuming a greater responsibility for their own learning.
As a reading and writing course, W170 has essentially the same goals as W131. Both courses assume that students will write analytical, argumentative, and investigative academic essays based on sources and that they will take their papers through a full cycle of drafting and revising.
At the same time, while W131 and W170 share goals, there are some differences of emphasis between the two courses:
In W131, the focus is on academic writing in response to various cultural issues and phenomena. Thus, much of the course is organized around strategies of analysis and argument, with readings on various topics serving as material for observation, thinking, and writing.
In W170, the focus is on sustained inquiry (i.e., reading, writing, and critical thinking) concerning a single problem or topic that lasts throughout the semester. Thus, the course is organized around a broad question or problem and various strategies for analysis, argument, and research are taught when they are relevant for the conduct of the inquiry.
Fall 2012 Topic Descriptions
TOPIC: Prize Pets, Scary Beasts, Fresh Meat: How We Think About Animals
INSTRUCTOR: Emer Vaughn
28821 MWF 8:00a - 8:50a AC C107
28823 MWF 9:05a - 9:55a AC C107
Whether we're emphatic carnivores, vehement vegetarians, or apathetic omnivores—outdoorsy environmentalists or indoor fans of Animal Planet—dog people or cat people—we all have some sense of what animals are, even if we don't stop to think about it. While some would even say, simply, that humans are animals, our treatment of other species often seems to assume some difference between the two categories. Using texts ranging from films, fiction, and photographs to food writing and critical essays, we'll consider how and why we draw the line between animals and us, and we'll think about the practical and ethical consequences of drawing that line. Along the way, we'll also get to know plenty of animals—from the tiny, inscrutable tick to the loyal dog, from the territorial grizzly bear on up to the enormous, and enormously fascinating whale!
This course fulfills the Composition Requirement. As such, our explorations of the animal/human divide will sharpen critical reading and analytical skills that you'll use throughout your college career.
TOPIC: 'Murder Most Foul': Cultural Engagements with the Serial Killer
INSTRUCTOR: Katherine Anderson
21771 MWF 9:05a - 9:55a WH 109
Warning: This course incorporates mature themes. We will look at and discuss images of graphic violence and sexuality. Please be sure you are comfortable investigating this kind of material.
From Charles Manson's mad visions of Helter Skelter, to Jigsaw's twisted manipulation of justice in Saw, to the monstrocized cultural depictions of Aileen Wuornos, to the devilishly charming Dexter, our culture appropriates and (re) produces images of sadistic killers and their gruesome crimes. While these stories, whether "real" or fictional, both frighten and intrigue us, they also repeatedly emphasize the centrality of horrific violence in American culture. What is it that makes the figure of the serial killer so compelling? We seek out ghoulish images of serial killers and their trophies and participate in the material culture of murderabilia by buying comic books, T-shirts, shower curtains, and even coloring books centered on the figure of the serial killer. Using a variety of media, this course will examine the figure of the serial killer in a multiplicity of cultural contexts including space, race, gender, sexuality, class and religion. Some of the questions we will consider include: Why do we single out the serial killer from other forms of murder and violence? How do we distinguish what is "safe" from what is "dangerous? " How do we determine the difference between "right" and "wrong? " What is the difference between judgment and justice, both in cultural texts and in our own reactions? Why does the serial killer both fascinate and frighten us? What are the fears and desires that we embody in the serial killer, and how do representations of the serial killer transform in response to changing cultural demands? Ultimately, what does the serial killer teach us about ourselves?
This course fulfills the English Composition requirement, and, as such, it is primarily a writing course with a strong focus on critical reading and analytical writing skills.
TOPIC: All the Single Ladies: Representations of Single Women from Spinster to Sex Kitten
INSTRUCTOR: Allison Speicher
17539 MWF 12:20p - 1:10p SY 001
The old maid, the crazy cat lady, the plain Jane, the mousy librarian, the schoolmarm, the maiden aunt, the "working girl, " the workaholic, the shopaholic, the single mom, the closeted lesbian, the crone, the hag, the prude, the nun, the free spirit, the women's libber, the spinster, the sex kitten: the American single woman has inspired a diverse array of stereotypes that are neither complimentary nor complementary. But the myths of lonely narcissistic work addicts who die alone after their eggs dry up because they failed to snag Mr. Right do not tell the whole story. Through literature, film, television, women's magazines, and personal narratives, this course will seek to challenge myths and stereotypes and broaden our understanding of all the single ladies: women who are single by choice or by circumstance, women who are casually dating, women who are divorced or widowed, women of different ages, races, sexual orientations, classes, religions, and walks of life. Examining images of single women from Sister Carrie to Carrie Bradshaw, from the nineteenth-century spinster to the twenty-first century sex kitten, in this course we will think about the complexity and diversity of the representations and experiences of single women—and even if you've never hoarded cats or shoes, sipped a cocktail at a Manhattan hot spot or spent your days holed up in the library stacks, the story of all the single ladies has implications for the way you, and all of us, male or female, single or taken, experience love and life.
This course fulfills the English Composition requirement, and, as such, it is primarily a writing course with a strong focus on critical reading and analytical writing skills.
TOPIC: Men in Motion: Surfers, Bikers, Body Builders and Masculinity in 1960s America
INSTRUCTOR: Chris Koester and Jon Booth
17540 MWF 12:20p - 1:10p GY 447 (Koester)
28824 MWF 1:25p - 2:15p SY 002 (Booth)
Hey, man! Are you ready to theorize masculinity? Use of the word "man" as a mode of address referring to a universalized and nonspecific masculine subject—for instance, in this opening address—is often affiliated with the American 1960s. This W170 course seeks to identify who that "man" is, specifically as he pertains to the 60s subcultures of surfing, biking, and body building. What does a participant in IU's gym culture—man or woman—owe to a body builder like Arnold Schwarzenegger? How do surfers of the 1960s continue to influence the attitudes of Bloomington hipsters, what with the reemergence of surf rock as an indie genre? What do campus fraternities and sororities that participate in the Little 500 have in common with biker gangs? By analyzing representations of surfers, bikers, and body builders in various magazines and films from the 1960s, this course will theorize masculinity as a cultural construct that includes and goes beyond immediate codes of conduct—things like dress and speech—to arrive at machines and the body's posture toward them. How do machines in these instances act as extensions of a man's body? How do men from these 60s subcultures use machinery to construct a unique temporal identity? The biker guns it. The body builder endures. The surfer hangs ten. How does each of these temporal modes support the formation of a different masculine identity? Through readings by queer scholars (Judith Halberstam), postmodern theorists of the body (Maurice Merleau-Ponty), as well as more historically-oriented writers on masculinity (Michael Kimmel), we will exchange men, masculine women, and transgendered peoples, whose gender affiliations dissolve such binaries altogether. More than defining masculinity, this W170 course seeks to redefine masculinity by positioning it both historically and culturally within writing, all while fulfilling the English Composition requirement.
TOPIC: Live Freaks!: Strange Bodies and the Spectacle of Otherness
INSTRUCTOR: Eric Hultgren and Jessica Waggoner
28825 MWF 1:25p - 2:15p BH 015 (Hultgren)
21774 MW 4:00p - 5:15p AC C107 (Waggoner)
31773 MW 5:45p - 7:00p WH 114 (Waggoner)
Note: This course requires students to engage with graphic material in visual and textual form. If you are uncomfortable with strong language and violent or sexual themes, this course may not be the best fit for you.
Come one! Come all, to this once in a lifetime viewing of the most abnormal, horrifying, and shocking spectacle of a class offered at IU! Join us as we travel through the world of strange bodies put on display for viewing pleasures, beginning with the first freak shows of the 19th century through the freaks of the here-and-now. Using the diverse mediums of fiction, non-fiction, photography, and film we will explore the rhetorical processes involved in transforming anatomy into social and political identities. We will look to how the spectacle of extraordinary bodies simultaneously dictates and troubles the bounds of the normal, all the while inquiring into how the concept of the freak has expanded far beyond the traditional sideshow and into our everyday imaginings of our own bodies and the bodies of others. Freaks and normals are all encouraged to enroll.
This course fulfills the English Composition requirement. The formal writing will emphasize analytical argumentation and the situating of this analysis with respect to broader cultural and critical frameworks. The course also aims to help students develop the critical reading, thinking, and research skills fundamental for future college work. Students will be challenged to read complex texts and write a research paper on a topic of their own choosing.
TOPIC: Dirt: A Cultural History of Uncleanliness
INSTRUCTOR: Carina Saxon
17541 MWF 3:35p - 4:25p BH 337
33401 MWF 4:40p - 5:30p BH 016
What does it mean to call a person trash? Is dirty sex the same thing as sexy dirt? This course uses transnational multimedia objects to explore discourses of dirt and impurity in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, looking at how categories of dirt create social structures and hierarchies. From the "one drop rule" that enforced American race prejudice to racist anti-Irish caricatures and "white trash, " from Victorian dirt fetishism to the use of filth as sexual shorthand in contemporary music videos, from lynch law to S&M, we'll trace the role of dirt discourse in creating, perpetuating, and subverting social stigma.
This course fulfills the English Composition requirement, and, as such, it is primarily a writing course with a strong focus on critical reading and analytical writing skills.
TOPIC: Detectives: Through the Magnifying Glass
INSTRUCTOR: Amanda Henrichs
17542 TR 11:15a - 12:30p PY 111
The detective: what springs to mind? Whether it's Sherlock Holmes, frighteningly intelligent but emotionally stunted; Miss Marple, a little old lady whose knitting bag is as big as her talent for discovering murderers; Sam Spade, a private eye with an ambivalent relationship to the law; or perhaps Temperance Brennan, the beautiful and brilliant forensic anthropologist at the heart of the Fox series Bones; the detective has been a prominent figure in popular entertainment of the past 150 years. Some critics claim that detectives are fit only for pulp paperback fictions: this course asks if this is true, or if detectives play a more important cultural role than we give them credit for. Taking a multimedia approach, one that includes novels, short stories, scholarly essays, collections at the Lilly Library, television, and film, we will use the detectives' own investigative practices to hone our analytical reading, writing, and thinking skills. Through deep engagement with cultural manifestations across various forms, continents, and even centuries, this course will attempt to understand the enduring fascination with the complicated, difficult, and frequently problematic figure that is the detective.
This course fulfills the English Composition requirement, and, as such, it is primarily a writing course with a strong focus on critical reading and analytical writing skills.
TOPIC: The Game of Life: Body, Competition, and Cultures of Play
INSTRUCTORS: Rachel Seiler
21369 TR 4:00p - 5:15p AC C107
"Pick a car, hop in and take a spin! Will you land a great job with a big salary? Will you and your spouse have a house full of kids? Will you retire in style? " Sounds like you're ready to play the Game of Life! Among the most popular board games, The Game of Life and Monopoly share more than brand names: both attempt to train their players in strategies that enact and capture various cultural fantasies.
But what can child's play tell us about what happens when we put our bodies on the line in the actual game of life? Does moving your token around spaces on the board actually give you any insight into how humans strategically interact? The basic tenet of game theory claims that, no matter what constitutes the interaction, humans are always at "play"—rehearsing and maneuvering around the strategies given them by both survival "instincts" and cultural constructions of competition. This course will ask students to consider how cultural players must maneuver the complex political intersections between gender, race, and class for survival. We will begin by documenting our own play of actual board games, and move to analyzing the implications of "survival of the fittest" in reality television games like Survivor. We will end with reflective analyses on the recent dystopian critique of dangerous play: Suzanne Collins's The Hunger Games.
As a writing course, this W170 satisfies the composition requirement at Indiana University. By combining analytical writing tools with the logic of gaming, this course will encourage students to learn more about the strategy behind not only play, but also representation and the structure of argumentation in critical writing.

Marion Cotillard?
Why She's No.54
Marion Cotillard has starred in roughly 50 films and television shows since she made her debut in 1993, but she only became a big name in North America after her Oscar-winning performance as Edith Piaf in La vie en rose. In the tradition of smoldering French actresses like Emmanuelle Beart, Virginie Ledoyen and Ludivine Sagnier, Cotillard isn't your typical beauty, but everything about her exudes sexiness. But while her fellow countrywoman Melanie Laurent seems more content sticking to French films, despite her North American breakout role in Inglourious Basterds, Cotillard is embracing her newfound fame stateside. In 2009, she starred opposite Johnny Depp and Christian Bale in Public Enemies, as well as opposite Daniel Day-Lewis, Penelope Cruz and Nicole Kidman in Nine. In 2010, she'll continue starring in A-list films such as the sci-fi blackmail thriller Inception, opposite Leonardo DiCaprio, Ellen Page and Joseph Gordon-Levitt and the drama Second Coming opposite Mark Ruffalo. While we'd love to sit for hours with her at a Parisian cafe, double-fisting espressos and red wine while discussing the cultural impact of Jean-Luc Godard's work, we'll have to settle for a date with the movies.

Pet Care : dogs
Winter Care
Extreme weather
Beware of extreme cold. Although your pets have a natural fur coat, they need shelter from wind and cold. This is even more important if there is any wet weather such as sleet or snow. Keep your pets indoors if you can. If not, make sure that you have a sturdy shelter built that your pets can get inside. It should be protected from the wind, dry, and insulated. Straw makes good bedding inside a doghouse. Cats are notorious for climbing inside cars to try and get to the warm engine block. Honk your horn prior to starting your engine to scare any cats that might be sleeping inside.
If there is snow on the ground, it can get stuck to the fur between your dog's toes. The sensitive skin and pads on the bottom of the feet can be irritated and can even be frostbitten. Ears are also susceptible to frostbite, especially thin ears that stand up, such as Doberman Pinscher ears.
When it is very cold, water freezes quickly. If your pet lives outdoors, make sure that you buy a heated water bowl. You will still need to check the water frequently, to ensure that the heater is keeping it from freezing, but it will make your job of providing fresh, accessible water a lot easier. Frozen ponds can be a hazard also, especially on warm days when the ice may become thin. Just like for people, falling through the ice is particularly hazardous for animals. Hypothermia sets in rapidly. Some dogs are able to tolerate cold water in the winter, especially Labrador Retrievers that are used to swimming in cold weather.
Toxic substances
Antifreeze is an extremely dangerous substance for dogs and cats. Even a few licks of spilled antifreeze can cause kidney failure and death. When a pet drinks the antifreeze, it is absorbed through the gastrointestinal system into the bloodstream. When the kidneys attempt to filter the by-products of the antifreeze, it results in crystal formation in the kidneys. These crystals fill up the kidney tissue and damage it permanently. Keep pets away from any spilled antifreeze. If you suspect that your pet consumed some antifreeze, immediate veterinary attention is necessary. There are antidotes that can be given to counteract the effects, but they must be administered immediately after ingestion (or very soon after).
Some ice melt substances can cause illness if ingested, depending on the ingredients. They can also cause irritation to the skin and mucus membranes. If your pet comes into contact with one of these substances, contact your veterinarian to find out what to do. Make sure you have the label accessible so you can read the active ingredients to our vet.
Mistletoe is very toxic to pets, especially the berries. Make sure that any mistletoe that you use for decorating is well out of the reach of pets (and kids!). Symptoms of mistletoe ingestion include vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, and even convulsions.
Chocolate contains theobromine and caffeine, two substances that are toxic to dogs in high amounts. Milk chocolate has low concentrations of these two substances, but baking chocolate is very concentrated. Even if a pet eats milk chocolate, they can still suffer from chocolate poisoning if they eat a large enough quantity. Even if they don't have chocolate poisoning, they often suffer from vomiting and diarrhea associated with eating this high fat treat. Don't leave dishes of candy on the coffee table for your pet to consume or you'll likely be making an emergency trip to the veterinary office.
Holiday decorations, like tinsel or curling ribbon, are especially dangerous to cats. Cats will ingest these substances, which then can become lodged in their stomachs or intestines, causing severe illness. Often, surgery is required to remove these foreign bodies. This is usually quite expensive, and can be life-threatening.
Keeping your pets safe anytime of the year is your responsibility. Do your best to protect your pets from seasonal hazards and have a safe, happy holiday season.
Please note that this information does not replace professional veterinary care. It is solely for educational purposes. Your pet's medical condition should be evaluated by a veterinarian before any medical decisions are implemented. If there is a potentially life-threatening emergency involving your pet, take your pet to a veterinarian or veterinary facility immediately.

Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
Acclaimed Canadian poet Steven Price has conjured a stunning debut novel that marks the arrival of an exceptionally talented young writer. Set in the city of Victoria, British Columbia, Into That Darkness opens at the moment when a massive earthquake hits the entire west coast with devastating results. With the city destroyed, survivors are left to negotiate a veritable hell on earth in which bonds of civility are pushed to their limits and often broken. Arthur Lear emerges from the rubble only to descend into another disaster zone as he desperately tries to save a mother and her son trapped beneath broken concrete. After an agonizing rescue operation, they emerge only to begin a harrowing searching for the mother's lost daughter. As they wander through scenes redolent of Dante's Inferno and Hieronymus Bosch, their very sense of humanness is tested and compromised, and they are changed forever by their traumatic experiences and their long journey home. Here is a novel for our age of anxiety and end times, a novel that reflects back to us our deepest fears and strongest hopes in the face of impossible odds. Steven Price delivers a powerful story about the physical manifestation of the darker things lurking in our culture, and in ourselves.

Not only will the kids love to ride in our six-child, triple or quad strollers, but these buggies are actually easy to push and surprisingly maneuverable. Keep every child safe and happy in these neat daycare strollers. Our selection offers a number of great choices that will satisfy children and caregivers alike.
Where can you get Angeles quad strollers?
Angeles daycare strollers are built with tough unibody construction for many years of group trips. They are available in both four- and six-seater options. Their 360-degree pivoting front wheels and large comfortable handle make them easy to push and maneuver.
Where can I get a Bye Bye Buggy?
The Bye Bye Buggy is a great choice for a daycare center that serves children of various ages and sizes. It accommodates children from five months to three years and even has the option of an infant seat to adapt for younger children. Little ones and their caregivers will just love traveling around in style as they observe their surroundings. It is important to make sure that the daycare stroller you choose is comfortable to push and steer so caregivers have energy to play with little ones and can enjoy the time outside as well.
Should I get a side-by-side or tandem stroller?
Multi-seat strollers come with either side-by-side or tandem seating. Tandem seating gives each child a clear personal space and prevents little ones from bothering each other. Side-by-side arrangements are great because they encourage social interaction among children. Sometimes the right choice depends on what will fit through the doorway or take up less space in the building.
How can I protect little ones from the sun on outings?
A canopy is a helpful option to consider for your daycare buggy. With protection over their heads, children won't be bothered by sun or rain and will be able to sit longer. Canopies provide a peaceful setting for little ones who are napping, while still enabling children who are awake to enjoy their surroundings from the front or sides. Remembering everyone's hats when going outside can be a challenging and time-consuming task. A canopy takes the place of a hat so little ones are protected and their caregivers don't have to spend time running around to find the right headwear.
How can I make sure that each child has a good view in the stroller?
Stadium seating is ideal in a daycare stroller, especially for older babies and toddlers. Terraced seats give children room to breathe and a clear view. When each child can see what's up ahead, caregivers can facilitate games like "I Spy" as well as educational letter, number and nature activities on the go. This is a great way to bring learning along for the ride and turn every experience into an educational one.
How can I get an affordable tandem stroller?

When you buy from Hertz Furniture, you don't need to compromise on ideals or preferences. You get great warranties, quality and designs all with the additional benefits American made products. With everything from office desks to school chairs conveniently organized on this one Made in USA page, you can definitely afford to buy American.
There are lots of reasons to look for school furniture that is made in the USA. If we want to teach our students to be patriotic, we need to demonstrate our own patriotism in the classroom. By furnishing a learning space with American made school desks, student chairs and bookcases, we send a message to children that we are proud of our country and our home-grown goods. They will understand that there are many reasons to be proud to be an American.
When you go shopping for furniture made in the USA, make sure to really check the label before purchasing anything. While some companies might claim that they are only using American labor, it is possible that certain steps in the assembly process are happening overseas, or that international parts are being used with the assembly process in America. It is important to demonstrate to manufacturers, the American public and the world that it does make a difference to consumers when they have furniture made in America.
There are tons of benefits to purchasing made in USA furniture. First of all, America has very strict standards regarding pollution in product production. When you buy American, you help keep a cleaner environment for the future of our children. When you purchase products without looking for the made in USA label, you don't know what they might contain or what kinds of conditions they were made under. Products from overseas might have been made under substandard working conditions, in factories which are causing tons of air pollution or using child labor.
American labor standards and worker conditions ensure that your office furniture is only produced under acceptable conditions. Made in the USA products have been manufactured through processes which take into account the safety of the workers, the quality of the products and the impact on the environment. When you buy American, you celebrate our country's independence and promote a self-sufficient economy.
When you buy domestically-produced furniture, you can feel good about your purchase. It's great to know that it was made under particular conditions, in compliance with strict standards. You also know who made it. The production of American made furniture creates jobs for our country's citizens. It is always important to support the American labor force, and buying furniture made in the USA is a mutually-beneficial way to do so.
At Hertz Furniture, we know what is important to the American consumer. With our wide array of American made furniture, you can be patriotic and still rely on the quality, style and reliability you have come to expect from Hertz Furniture. So next time you are looking for furniture made in the USA, you can simply come to this page to buy American. Need help choosing which great models will fit best in your space? The experts in the Hertz Design Center will be happy to help with free project-planning advice.

Teaser Tuesday 2/22 The Dry Grass of August by Anna Jean Mayhew
Teaser Tuesday
"One of the deacons stood and said to the preacher's back, "She were beaten down by hate."
"By hate," someone agreed.
"Killed in the street."
The preacher turned to look at the man. 'That's the truth, Deacon Hull. Hate killed our sister. But the love she lived will triumph over the sin that took her away." -- p. 228. The Dry Grass of August by Anna Jean Mayhew (April 2011)

The title of my novel
Took me 18 years to write the novel; during that time I had half a dozen titles...I read lines in a poem ("Star-Fall") by Robert Penn Warren. -- Begin quote: We lay on the dry grass of August… We did not lie close, and for hours/The only contact was fingers, and motionless they./For what communication is needed if each alone/Is sunk and absorbed into/The mass and matrix of Being that defines/Identity of all? We lay in the moonless night,/Felt earth beneath us swing,/Watched the falling stars of the season. They fell/Like sparks in a shadowy, huge smithy, with/The clang of the hammer unheard./Far off in the sea's matching midnight,/The fishing lights marked their unfabled constellations. -- End quote. I trust that readers of my book will get why I chose that line for my title.

5300 West 35th Street, St. Louis Park, MN | Directions 5541644.939324 -93.346682
LEFT ME HANGING! – I tried to schedule a couple of students to come to our business and give chair massages to our employees as part of our "Stress Buster" Fridays in the month of December. I was in contact with the schools "Manager", Michael Casper who worked with me to get this event scheduled for Fri. Dec.28. This in iteself proved to be a challenge because the students were on Winter Break but everything seemed to be set. OR SO I THOUGHT! That morning, 3 hours before the event was to begin I got a call from the students supervisor saying one of the students was not able to attend. One student would not have been enough to handle all of the employees. The supervisor and I agreed it would be best to reschedule the event for the following Friday (Jan. 4)Michael was on vacation but I did manage to get ahold of him and he told me they have had this problem before with this particular student cancelling or not showing up. WHY WOULD THEY LET THIS STUDENT COMMIT TO A CORPORATE EVENT WHEN THEY'VE HAD PROBLEMS IN THE PAST?! I had to scramble to bring in lunch for our employees which was a poor substitute for massages. Now here we are on Jan. 3 and although Michael was supposed to contact me YESTERDAY I called him to see where we were at for our rescheduled event. He told me they were unable to accomodate us. He made no attempt to reschedule again or give any other options to make this right. Now once again I am left to find yet another substitute for our employees. To say I'm disappointed is a HUGE UNDERSTATEMENT! This has made me look bad in the eyes of our company president and our employees. With all the stress this has caused I'm the one who REALLY needs a massage but I WILL NOT be contacting them because it is obvious they don't have the knowledge it takes to provide good customer service. I don't think they deserve even one star but that's the minimum.

Esquire Theatre
323 E. Main Street,
No one has favorited this theater yet
The Yosemite Theatre was opened around 1893. It was remodeled by architects Weeks & Day in 1920 and re-named State Theatre.
Listed in the 1941 & 1943 editions of Film Daily Yearbook as the Fox State Theatre with a seating capacity given as 1,510. In the 1950 & 1952 editions it is the State Theatre with a slightly reduced seating capacity.
Following the closure in 1954 of the towns' Esquire Theatre, the name was transfered to this theatre.
Recent comments (view all 17 comments)
The June 5, 1954, issue of Boxoffice had information about the State Theatre, as well as other theaters in Stockton:
"The Fox State in Stockton closed last week. The oldest public showhouse in Stockton, the Fox State was originally known as the Yosemite. Negotiations are reported underway for leasing of the property by Joseph Blumenfeld of Blumenfeld Theatres. Blumenfeld has reported that if the deal goes through he will move the Esquire Theatre to the State site. Blumenfeld's Sierra was recently closed to make way for two new stores, and the Esquire is scheduled to be closed to make room for the new J.C. Penney store."I don't find the Sierra or the Esquire listed at Cinema Treasures yet. I've found the Yosemite Theatre cited in the California Index as early as 1913.
The Index also contains references to a number of other Stockton theaters not yet listed at CT, including a National Theatre, a Rialto Theatre, a Lyric Theatre, a Roxy Theatre, a Garrick Theatre, a Hippodrome Theatre, and an Avon Theatre. Some might not have been movie houses, and others might be only missing aka's for listed theaters, but I think most are just missing.
Of the theaters that you mentioned, the Esquire, Sierra, Rialto, and the Roxy are all listed in 1950. The Ritz is listed in 1945. The National is listed in 1935 as closed. I don't see the Hippodrome, Garrick or Avon listed in the Film Daily. Maybe they were early silent theaters.
The California Index has several cards about the National. It was built by the National Theatres Syndicate in 1931, located on Main Street at Stanislaus Street, and designed by the San Francisco firm Bliss & Fairweather. It was closed for a while in 1935, but Motion Picture Herald of May 18 that year said that it was being reopened by Joe Merrick of San Francisco. It was mentioned again in the February 2, 1936, issue, but the Index provides no details on that one.
The problem is I can't find the National mentioned in Boxoffice at all, which makes me wonder if perhaps its name was changed.
I did come across a very interesting item in the April 24, 1967, issue of Boxoffice which said that the old Star Theatre on lower Market Street was being torn down after 50 years. It was the oldest surviving movie house in Stockton, and the last of four old movie theaters which had once thrived in the south end of downtown, the others being the Lincoln, the Imperial, and the Liberty.
I recall seeing this neighborhood in the late 1960s, just as they were beginning to demolish it for an urban renewal project. It was a splendid section of several square blocks of substantial masonry commercial and residential buildings. Glimpses of the area can still be seen in the original version of "All the King's Men" in which Stockton sat in for Baton Rouge. The area appeared in a number of other movies as well, the last of them probably being John Huston's noirish boxing movie "Fat City" which was filmed during the latter part of the demolition period.
Joe….The National is listed in 1935 with 800 seats. It is not listed in 1940. I tried using the seat count as a guide to see if it changed names but there are no 800 seat theaters listed in 1940. If the National did open again, it might have closed prior to 1940.
The Star Theater is listed in 1955 with 530 seats. The address given for the Star is 26 East Market Street. The Lincoln, Liberty and Imperial are all listed in 1950 but of those three, only the 424 seat Imperial Theater is still listed in 1955.
Checked the Google photos – Looks like it has been razed. The surrounding parking lots are now underconstruction with a new urban complex – very well designed – at first it looks like a series of old-style retail buildings. If only more modern urban construction looked like this.
I have many memories of Stockton's Esquire Theatre. It was sandwiched between the Ritz and Fox Theaters on Main St. I started working as a doorman at the esquire in 1960 when I was 16 years old. It was a great place for a kid still in high school to work as I had to stay until the last movie was over to close the theater and lock up, so I had lots of time for home work. I continued to work there until June 1963 when I joined the military. I believe the Esquire (or State) theater started life as a vadavile theater as it had an extensive back stage area behind the movie screen. Also dressing rooms and a large area above the stage for stage hands to work. Does anyone have any photos of the Esquire?
ksutterfield: I've been searching Boxoffice Magazine for info about the Esquire, which is apparently not yet listed at Cinema Treasures, but so far I've only found a few references. The May 18, 1946, issue mentions in passing that the Esquire Theatre in Stockton was "nearly completed." Work was delayed, though, and a short article in the December 14 issue that year announced that the Esquire had finally opened after thirteen months of construction.
The house had cost $200,000 to build and equip, and would be Stockton's fourth first run theater. Boxoffice gave the seating capacity as 1190, and described the auditorium as being decorated with fluorescent murals having a Chinese theme. The article didn't give the name of the architect, but the mention of blacklight murals makes me wonder if it might have been designed by Gale Santocono, who was very active at the time and used blacklight in theater decorations frequently. Even if he wasn't the architect, he might have done the decoration for the Esquire.
I'll keep looking for more info, but I don't think Boxoffice ran any articles with photos of the theater. If they had, I'd probably have found them by now.
Thanks Joe, the Esquire theater I worked at was the renamed and remodeled Fox State Theater (see your Aug 12th post above). The only photo I've ever found of the Esquire is a post card I found on the internet.
I've come across something about the State Theatre that doesn't fit in with other pieces of information I've found, especially the information from Boxoffice I cited in my first comment of August 12, 2009.
A 1922 issue of the architectural journal Pencil Points ran an article about movie theatres penned by architect Emil M. Mlinar, a former associate of C. Howard Crane. Among the illustrations is a photo captioned "Proscenium of Loew's State Theatre, Stockton, Cal. Weeks & Day, Architects." The photo is recognizable as the same theater in the photo from the S. Charles Lee collection to which I linked in the second comment on this page.
So, assuming that the magazine didn't make a mistake, the State Theatre opened as a Loew's house, and was designed by the same firm as the Loew's State in Los Angeles and the Loew's State in Oakland. I can't find a Loew's State listed for Oakland at Cinema Treasures, so either it isn't listed or it's listed under another name and is missing the aka. The Fox in Oakland was designed by Weeks & Day, but I've never seen anything suggesting that it was ever a Loew's house.
The volume of Pencil Points with the photos can be seen at Google Books. Here's the link to the Stockton photo. Scroll up a few pages to see the Oakland photo.
The Yosemite Theatre opened either in 1892 or 1893. The conversion of the house into the State Theatre took place in 1920. In a column listing projects in the works for 1920, the December, 1919, issue of the San Francisco-based professional journal The Architect & Engineer included Weeks & Day's remodeling of the Yosemite Theatre in Stockton. The projected cost was $130,000.

Denver >Live Theatre >
Theatres >Bug Theatre
3654 Navajo St, Denver, CO | Directions 8021139.767855 -105.004025
Neighborhoods: Northwest Denver, Highland
The innovative Bug radiates fresh theatrical energy.
– In Short
The Bug Theatre Company, cofounded by Donna Morrison and Alex Weimer, has been in existence since 1998, housed in what was originally a nickelodeon movie house built in 1911. The Bug Performance and Media Center presents a wide variety of theatrical offerings, from classic plays to avant-garde works, in addition to a strong series of children's theater productions, live music concerts and comedy nights.
"The Raft" : Something for everyone. – "The Raft" playing at the Bug Theatre is a clever, and well delivered, production about relationships, aging, and the nuances of family life in Denver. Saturday, January 28th, was my first experience at the "Bug" which inhabits the old Navajo Theatre in east Denver. I was delighted with "The Raft" and am now smitten with the "Bug." This small cozy venue is perfect for those who have an interest in the performing arts, as well as those in search of a great show. "The Raft" was entertaining and well rehearsed. Strong performances by the entire cast made the evening fly by. The historic theatre was warm and cozy despite the freezing teperatures outside, although the (original?) seats may be a bit on the small side for patrons with oversized hindquarters.
Classy Joint, Amazing Crew, Cool Shows – The Bug is a find! The energy radiated by the performers and crews is contagious. They put on shows that are smart, progressive, and insightful, without taking themselves too seriously.
This is the only theatre in town for which I always buy a season subscription. It's that good. I have yet to be disappointed by the Bug.
Bug continues to amaze me – I've lived in NW Denver for 10 years and have been going to The Bug since it reopenend in 1994 (?). The amount of growth in the organization in the last 3 years has been amazing. Theatre, Music, and last night I saw some facinating films there. Check out Freak Train if you haven't already. I even have enjoyed the Saturday Morning kid's shows that I've seen there.

Milwaukee will make 2014 IndyCar calendar, but date still a question mark
Oct 15, 2013, 5:00 PM EDT
The Milwaukee Mile will have a place on the 2014 IndyCar schedule, and on Wednesday, we'll find out when the race will be. Both the race promoter and The Business Journal serving Greater Milwaukee have confirmed Milwaukee's return.
Michael Andretti's Andretti Sports Marketing group resuscitated the race after previous promoters hit financial issues through 2011. It came back to life in 2012 as the Milwaukee IndyFest and featured an uptick in corporate support this year, but flat attendance (roughly 25,000 fans) according to the report by The Business Journal.
The track has confirmed ASM will hold a press conference Wednesday morning to determine the date of next year's race, and potentially further information regarding corporate support (read: title or presenting sponsor).
It's run the Saturday before Father's Day in June the last two years and while it could be held on that date again, there are potential complications.
Previously announced 2014 IndyCar races from May through July include the Indianapolis road course race (May 10), Indianapolis 500 (May 25), Detroit (May 31-June 1), Texas (June 7), Pocono (July 6) and Toronto (July 19-20).
If Milwaukee gets slotted in on the Saturday, June 14, that would be IndyCar's sixth consecutive weekend of on-track activity. The possibility of a seventh straight, Iowa the following weekend, would occur if the two short ovals match their 2013 dates.
Houston is also projected to move to late June from various media reports (notably by NBCSN insider and RACER.com reporter Robin Miller). If that happens, one of the two June weekends (13-15; 20-22) would need to be an off weekend simply to give the series and crews a break.
Whatever Milwaukee's date ends up being will have a two-pronged effect. If it stays as is in June, expect Iowa to move to allow for an off weekend before the likely move of Houston. If it switches, then Iowa could stay as is the week after.
All will be revealed regarding the full 2014 schedule on a joint schedule release and championship preview show, Thursday night at 8 p.m. ET on NBCSN.

And that's just fine by Prendergast. She's been spending a lot of time on the golf course. Prendergast, who will be a junior at Spanish Springs High School when the new school year begins next month, has been competing in Northern Nevada Junior Golf Association Tournaments all summer. In addition to NNJGA tourneys and her daily practice regimen, she also participated in the Calloway Jr. Worlds, played at the prestigious Torrey Pines golf club in San Diego.
"The NNJGA here is so good," said Prendergast's mother Karen Long. "It gives local kids the opportunity to get to these big tournaments. Kudos to them … Any exposure is good. Northern Nevada doesn't have a lot of people coming to look at our prospects."
The most recent honor Prendergast has earned is the right to play on northern Nevada's Girls Junior America's Cup team. The event will be played at the Championship Golf Club at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque, NM July 30-Aug. 1.
Prendergast got to compete in the event last year when it was hosted in Hawaii. She's looking forward to a second go-round.
"I went last year and I've gotten better," Prendergast said. "I am really excited. Last year was fun in Hawaii … I have never been to New Mexico. This event is cool because you get to play different courses in different states."
The NNJGA hosts tournaments throughout the summer in the Truckee Meadows and surrounding region. The top four girls in the NNJGA's summer standings after the initial five events were chose to participate in the Junior America's Cup.
Prendergast, who leads those standings, will make the trip to New Mexico along with McQueen sisters Alice and Michelle Duan and Bishop Manogue's Karly Farthing. The foursome will compete as a team at the five-day event, which features opening ceremonies, a practice round and a three-round tournament.
"The goal of the event is kind of cool," said Dana Lehner, Executive Director of Sun Country PGA, the host group for this year's event. "It's kind of the first taste of what a collegiate style golf event would be like. The girls play as a group. They travel together and of course the competition is at a high level.
"The other thing is the event has a cultural aspect too. We bring the girls to the site. They stay with a host family and learn about the culture and history of the site."
Prendergast said she remembered the culture value of last summer's Hawaii event and that makes this trip a unique experience.
"Last year there was a luau on the beach and we learned about the culture there. It was really fun," she said. "This event is not just about golf. You get to meet new people and learn about their culture."
Prendergast admitted the competition was elite at last year's event, noting the northern Nevada team finished 16th out of 18 teams. She said it would be nice to be in the Top 15 and improve on the local squad's finish of a year ago.
That's not an unrealistic goal. Prendergast, who is the two-time northern Nevada champion and finished third in the NIAA prep state championships last fall, said she's been working hard to improve her game this summer.
"I've been getting better and hopefully that will show in the high school season," the SSHS standout said. "My short game is getting better and I've gotten a new driver and new 3 wood. So hopefully my long game will be more consistent."
In addition to the Junior America's Cup, Prendergast has been invited to play at Pebble Beach Golf Club on California's scenic Monterey Peninsula during the Senior PGA Tour event there in September. That opportunity comes through the First Tee of Northern Nevada.
Her mother couldn't be more proud.
"She's still got a 4.0 and is in honors courses and she misses a lot of school. That's part of the downfall but you have to play the game," Long said. "She's still playing basketball. She's grounded and her activities are varied. The burnout shouldn't be there like other kids just doing golf full-time."
Nevada's girls high school golf season starts in September. Prendergast will be looking to defend her Division I North individual title and lead Spanish Springs to back-to-back state championships this fall.

|Sticky Tag:
Merge Unicode work to trunk. From label unicode-utf16-extfmt-2009-06-11.
Sync to utf16 branch, tag unicode-utf16-sync-label-2009-03-16.
Sync to CVS HEAD, tag label-2009-03-16. But don't sync Config.FreeBSD_gencgc, Config.x86_freebsd, FreeBSD-os.c, and FreeBSD-os.h. Let Alex sync those later. The result seems to work as expected on Solaris and x86/linux. Darwin (ppc or x86) untested.
Apply patch from Stelian Ionescu on cmucl-imp, 2008/12/24 to allow custom CFLAGS, CC, and LDFLAGS. Slightly modified to move -m32 from CC to RUNTIME. Cleaned some other items for Linux. lisp/Config.linux_gencgc: o Define CC only if not already defined. o Remove -m32 flag from CC and put it in RUNTIME. o Incrementally add to RUNTIME, removing the LINKAGE, GENCGC, and SSE2 variables. o Add -m32 flag to OS_LINK_FLAGS lisp/GNUmakefile: o Define CC only if not already defined. (Do this after loading Config). motif/server/Config.x86: o Allow custom LDFLAGS and CFLAGS when building the motif server.
Merge changes from utf16 branch to update to snapshot 2008-12.
Merge Snapshot 2008-12 to this branch. Some tweaks needed in boot-2008-05-cross-unicode-x86.lisp and the Config files. FreeBSD and Darwin/x86 untested, but Linux and Solaris build ok.
If either FEATURE_X87 or FEATURE_SSE2 is set, build the C code with SSE2 support so that the binary will work with either. This means we can do the x87 and sse2 builds in either order. (I think).
Merge in SSE2 changes from sse2-packed-branch (tag sse2-packed-2008-11-12).
Sync to snapshot 2008-11. But we didn't sync code/extfmts.lisp or iso8859-1.lisp and utf-8.lisp. (I don't think we want those changes, yet.)
Sync to snapshot 2008-11.
Define i386 when compiling C code.
Initial support for SSE2. This compiles itself ok on Linux, and should work on OSX. Much cleanup is needed, and still need to restore buildability without SSE2. Use bootfiles/19e/boot-2008-09-sse2.lisp as the cross-compile script. The key changes are in these new files: o float-sse2.lisp: implements all of the floating-point stuff with SSE2 o sse2-array.lisp: replacement vops using sse2 instead of x87 o sse2-c-call.lisp: replacement vops using sse2 instead of x87. o sse2-sap.lisp: replacement vops using sse2 instead of x87 code/irrat.lisp: o Basically turn off all the special routines that use the x87 trig, log, or exp instructions. We don't support that currently. (Would be nice, though.) o Turn on %%sin and friends, like on ppc. o Turn off %sin-quick and friends since we don't want to use x87 now. code/misc.lisp: o Register :sse2 feature. compiler/float-tran.lisp: o Disable transforms for x86 that use x87 instructions. We don't support that with sse2. compiler/loadbackend.lisp: o Load up the appropriate sse2 files for the compiler. This will currently overwrite existing vops with vops for SSE2. compiler/x86/float.lisp: o Disable various vops using the x87 instructions, since float-sse2.lisp doesn't have equivalents. (Just in case. Since this isn't compiled or loaded, we shouldn't need to do this.) compiler/x86/insts.lisp: o Add support for SSE2 instructions. Shamelessly borrowed from our SBCL friends. compiler/x86/vm.lisp: o Turn off some fp-constants that are not supported with sse2. o Print FP registers as XMM instead of FR. lisp/Config.linux_gencgc: lisp/Config.x86_darwin: o Enable FEATURE_SSE2 flag when compiling. lisp/Darwin-os.c: lisp/Linux-os.c: o Get the mxcsr status bits too when getting the FPU status from a sigcontext. lisp/x86-assem.S: o For SSE2, we copy any floating-point result (in ST(0)) to XMM0, so Lisp code can get it. tools/comcom.lisp: o Compile up the SSE2 files as needed.
Use openpty to obtain a pseudo-terminal pair instead of searching for an available devices on our own. This resolves an issue with Linux systems that do not populate /dev with BSD pseudo-terminal devices.
Initial checkin of unicode branch. This is incomplete. What works: o Cross-compile works on sparc and a lisp.core is created. This core is able to build code and appears to use 16-bit strings. What doesn't: o The sparc version is not able to rebuild itself. It hangs when trying to create a new lisp.core. o The x86 version will cross-compile, but worldload fails. The files being loaded have bizarre names. Probably some deftransform not working correctly. Issues: o Characters are still essentially 8 bits. This needs to be fixed. o All input/output is basically still 8 bits. Only the low 8 bits of a character are output. For input, characters are assumed to be 8-bit. o No external formats or anything is supported. o Readtable support not done. Use boot-2008-05-cross-unicode-{sparc,x86}.lisp to cross-compile the unicode changes. Untested whether this code can still be compiled without :unicode. Changes: code/array.lisp: o Base-char strings are 16 bits wide, not 8. code/c-call.lisp: o Define versions of DEPORT-GEN, %NATURALIZE-C-STRING to "handle" unicode strings. code/debug-info.lisp: o Adjust READ-VAR-STRING to use 16-bit strings. (Needed to at least to make the disassembler work.) code/debug.lisp: o Add address when printing out objects that can't be printed. (Generally useful and not just for unicode.) code/fd-stream.lisp: o Hack output routines to only use the low 8-bits of the character. (This needs significant work!) code/filesys.lisp: o Some debugging %primitive prints left in, but commented out, in PARSE-UNIX-NAMESTRING. code/lispinit.lisp: o Debugging %primitive print's for top-level forms. code/load.lisp: o Update FOP-SHORT-CHARACTER for unicode. But still only output the low 8 bits of a character to a fasl/core. This needs updating. o Hack routines for symbols to explicitly read in the individual bytes of the symbol/package name because READ-N-BYTES isn't working for us right now. o Update FOP-STRING/FOP-SMALL-STRING to read in 16-bit elements for strings. Full 16-bit strings supported. o Currently only write 8-bit chars for foreign names. This needs fixing. code/misc.lisp: o Register :unicode runtime feature. code/pathname.lisp: o Debugging %primitive prints left in, but commented out. code/stream.lisp: o Replace %primitive byte-blt with REPLACE for now to get the desired characters. code/unix-glibc2.lisp: o Workaround for unix-current-directory to return 16-bit strings. (Not necessary anymore?) o UNIX-RESOLVE-LINKS doesn't seem to like MAKE-STRING with an INITIAL-ELEMENT specified. Remove initial-element. (Needs fixing.) code/unix.lisp: o Same as for unix-glibc2.lisp compiler/array-tran.lisp: o Turn off the MAKE-STRING deftransform. o Update ARRAY-INFO to create 16-bit arrays for an element-type of base-char. compiler/dump.lisp: o Only dump 8-bit chars to a fasl for foreign fixups. o Explicitly dump the characters of symbol name. DUMP-BYTES not quite working for us now? o Make DUMP-SIMPLE-STRING dump all 16 bits of each character. o Characters are dumped as the low 8 bits. Needs fixing. compiler/generic/new-genesis.lisp: o STRING-TO-CORE writes 16-bit strings to the core file. o FOP-SHORT-CHARACTER for unicode added, but we still only write 8 bits to the core. (Needs fixing.) o COLD-LOAD-SYMBOL modified to read 16-bit characters from the fasl file to create a symbol. o FOP-UNINTERNED-SYMBOL-SAVE and FOP-UNINTERNED-SMALL-SYMBOL-SAVE reads 16-bit characters for symbol names. o FOP-STRING/FOP-SMALL-STRING reads 16-bit characters for strings. o FOP-FOREIGN-FIXUP and FOP-FOREIGN-DATA-FIXUP still only read 8-bit characters for foreign names. (Needs fixing.) compiler/generic/vm-tran.lisp: o New deftransforms to support unicode. Not the most efficient but should be workable for now. Old deftransforms didn't copy enough bits. o Deftransform for concatenate completely disabled. This needs fixing. compiler/sparc/array.lisp: o Change simple-string accessor to use halfword accessors instead of byte accessors. compiler/x86/array.lisp: o Change simple-string accessor to use halfword accessors instead of byte accessors. lisp/Config.linux_gencgc: o Define -DUNICODE as needed lisp/Config.sun4_solaris_sunc o Define -DUNICODE as needed. lisp/alloc.c: o alloc_string needs to allocate 16-bit strings lisp/backtrace.c: o Tell ldb backtrace how to print out 16-bit strings. This is a hack! lisp/gencgc.c: o Tell GC how long the 16-bit strings are now. lisp/interr.c: o Not really needed but make debug_print (aka %primitive print) support all objects by calling ldb's print function to print the object. lisp/os-common.c: o Add hack convert_lisp_string to take a 16-bit Lisp string and create a new string containing just the low 8 bits of each Lisp character. o OS foreign linkage stuff needs 8-bit strings, so we need to convert Lisp strings to the desired size. Very hackish! lisp/print.c: o Teach ldb how to print Lisp 16-bit strings. Currently, just dump out each byte of the 16-bit string. This needs major work! lisp/purify.c: o Teach purify about the 16-bit strings.
Merge changes from HEAD to get -iquote changes needed for newer versions of gcc.
Unless we are using GCC versions 2 or 3 use -iquote to specify local include search paths.
Remove X11 from the search path for include files.
ASFLAGS should use $(GENCGC) and $(LINKAGE_TABLE).
Oops. Revert previous change and use the -fno-strict-aliasing option instead, as suggested by Carl.
Split CFLAGS into two parts. One contains all flags except optimization setting. Needed to compile e_rem_pio2.c and k_rem_pio2.c with -O1. There are aliasing issues with that code.
Add new interface to ieee754_rem_pio2. No longer need to pass in an array. The new function returns 2 new output values. code/irrat.lisp: o Rename the original %ieee754-rem-pi/2 to %%ieee754-rem-pi-2. o Define the new %ieee754-rem-pi/2 function. This returns the output as two output values instead of an array. o Use the new function. We should have wrapped the original with without-gcing, but we don't have to anymore. lisp/ppc-arch.c: lisp/x86-arch.c: o Implement the new C interface to __ieee754_rem_pio2 lisp/Config.linux_gencgc: o Use -ffloat-store when compiling e_rem_pio2.c and k_rem_pio2.c, just to be sure.
Move the rules for e_rem_pio2.c and k_rem_pio2.c from GNUmakefile to Config.linux_gencgc. This only appears to be an issue on Linux. FreeBSD and Darwin are ok. And it depends on the compiler. gcc 4.2.1 produces bad results, but gcc 3.4.6 is ok. Could be an aliasing issue. So use -O1 everywhere. -ffloat-store doesn't appear to matter so remove that too.
Use sa_sigaction signal handlers on Linux. The glibc definition of sigset_t is different from the one used in the Linux kernel. This means that we cannot make assignments of sigset_t objects without corrupting memory. To work around this problem we update uc_sigmask differently on Linux than on other systems. Also, remove x87 control word updates since the x87 is setup correctly inside call_into_lisp.
Turn the optimizer back on for Linux builds.
Force GCC to generate 32-bit output. Enables builds of a 32-bit lisp on a 64-bit Linux host.
Add the trig argument reduction routines from Sun's fdlibm so we can accurately reduce the arg and therefore compute the value of trig functions accurately. lisp/Config.linux_gencgc: o Compile e_rem_pio2.c and k_rem_pio2.c code/irrat.lisp: o Disable %sin, %cos, %tan functions. o Implement %sin, %cos, and %tan to call the fdlibm routine __ieee754_rem_pio2 to do argument reduction before calling the sin, cos, tan vops. compiler/x86/float.lisp: o Disable the vops for %sin, %cos, and %tan, so the Lisp code in irrat.lisp is used.
Merge code from main branch of 2005-12-17 to ppc gencgc branch. Still doesn't work of course.
Forgot to remove one other use of PATH2.
Remove all references to non-existent directory "../../p86/lisp".
Merge HEAD to get -D__NO_CTYPE fix.
Add -D__NO_CTYPE so builds on glibc 2.3 will run on some older versions of glibc.
Export *RUNTIME-FEATURES*, REGISTER-LISP-FEATURE, and REGISTER-LISP-RUNTIME-FEATURE.
Merge with HEAD.
Lisp executable support. From Fred Gilham.
On x86 FreeBSD and Linux, change the way foreign symbol addresses are resolved. They now go through a table -- effectively a new space in the core file. Function references are resolved lazily, data references are resolved on startup and when a .so is loaded. The end result is that cores can be dumped that contain references to symbols in shared libraries. Also, the dependence of the core on addresses in the Lisp runtime is broken. The linkage table feature is controlled by :linkage-table and LINKAGE_TABLE in C runtime. Several foreign symbols are now Lisp static symbols, so a cross compile is required whether or not the new stuff is used. I've checked in boot4-cross-foreign-linkage.lisp that builds the compiler for linkage table; do whatever you usually do for the non-linkage table case:) Seriously, lets start a discussion on standardizing "cross compilation," not to mention the general build procedure.
This set of revisions brings the RELENG_18 branch up to HEAD in preparation for an 18c release.
o Use linux-nm to allow the symbols to be tailored to this system, rather than hacking the main Makefile. o Link with the --export-dynamic flag as this reportedly assists code that calls back into lisp. o Cleanup of the Config files.
Remove the p86 related directories from the paths.
This (huge) revision brings the RELENG_18 branch up to the current HEAD. Note code/unix-glib2.lisp not yet included -- not sure it is ready to go.
Update for the linux port from Peter VanEynde, adds preliminary support for glibc2.
Conservative generational garbage collection for the x86 port.
