So I ended up missing that Poundsign/Fairways show because I was so exhausted on that day that I took a "nap" for 4-5 hours and slept right through it. That's pretty indicative of how my month has been going so far, actually.
say2/jabber: Work has been going as well as it can, I think. We decided to try out Jabber as a potential backend to some chat stuff we've been working on, so I got to check out what I see as the only real contender to say2 so far. They have a lot working, but a lot of it seems pretty half-assed and incomplete. I was left with the feeling that I was looking at the remnants of a "commercial open-source" project in the aftermath of the boom: a lot of construction that stopped midway and hasn't really received much TLC since then. When I ran into problems trying to get my Jabber adaptor working, I wasn't able to find much of a support structure left: a public jabber-chat channel with a few silent stragglers, and some empty webpages that haven't been updated recently. I suspect that they're like Nautilus, trying to adapt to a suddenly much smaller environment.
It did give me some ideas and motivation for say2, though. That, and Scott's nagging, finally got me to start implementing the say2 equivalent of "buddy lists". I thought the concept was pretty simple, so I could hammer out an implementation in one night -- very very wrong. So far I've worked on it off and on at nights all week long, and I'm only a little over half done. The concepts turn out to be pretty straightforward, but the implementation involves a lot of corner cases and new lookup tables. I hope to have the implementation basically done within another week, and to float out a trial release of jenova for clients to try out.
plaid: Last weekend I went up to the city to see what has been my favorite band for most of the last year: Plaid. Arlo called it "the day of the ex's" because he'd been hanging out with his ex Erin all day before the show, and we went to the show with my ex Greg. I had a really bad impression of Bimbo's from the last time I'd been there (crammed full of fratboys and no beer on top, only a few bottles), but this time there were far fewer people there because the headliner band (Squarepusher) had cancelled. They still had no beer on tap, though. Arlo and Greg holed up in a corner talking through all of the opening acts, so I sat bored and annoyed until some freaks stood right in my face and I gave up and stood in the front, just in time to see Plaid set up. They were awesome! It was worth the annoyance of dealing with SF traffic and people in a way that few things could be: awesomely weird videos played to new mixes of some of their best songs, with over 1/3 of the songs being ones I hadn't heard before. If you ever get a chance, you must go see Plaid do their act.
Plaid did not do an encore. Either this is some artsy "elctronica bands do not do encores" thing, or else they weren't prepared because they expected to be opening for Squarepusher. I hope it's the latter because I can't bear to think of Plaid taking themselves too seriously or pretending to be arty.
life: I have no life. But with the roomie gone for two weeks, I've had an amazingly relaxing time. When I clean things, they stay clean. The kitchen being relatively clean actually inspired me to start trying cooking again, too. And I finally bought FFIX and started playing it obsessively (but trying to keep it down to one hour a night). I was hanging out with some hardcore stoners for a while, but I figured out that they weren't any more laid back than anyone else: if anything, they're more dramatic and mood swingy. Also Commie (my cat) has finally decided that he trusts me enough to sleep next to my head, which is weird but somehow comforting, as long as I don't suffocate.
Also I'm reading a book called Gravity's Rainbow by Thomas Pynchon. I bought it because I'd liked a much later book by the same author, and had heard good things about this one -- I had no idea it was so controversial. The first 100-200 pages were sometimes tough to read through, because he gets distracted a lot and spins 20-page yarns about something completely unrelated before returning to the plot, but as I've kept reading, I've gotten more and more enmeshed in it. Some rudimentary web searching turned up interesting info on the book that only made me more intruiged: Apparently in 1973, the judges of the Pulitzer Prize decided that Gravity's Rainbow should win that year. But the trustees were so frightened by the prospect that they declared there would be no prize awarded that year! To me that sounds more amazing than actually winning the prize!

The Florida Supreme Court Historical Society is seeking applicants to serve on its board of trustees.
Trustees will be elected by the members of the society at the Bar's Annual Convention in Boca Raton from judges, lawyers, law teachers, or other qualified citizens.
The board meets twice a year, including once at The Florida Bar Annual Convention. Its members are invited to participate each year in the society's "centerpiece event," the annual reception and dinner in Tallahassee, which is attended by governmental leaders, judges, attorneys, educators, and special guests. The event attracts large audiences and features prominent keynote speakers, including former governors and Supreme Court justices.
The two-fold mission of the Florida Supreme Court Historical Society is to educate the public about the important role of the courts in protecting personal rights and freedoms, as well as resolving the myriad of disputes that arise within the state and preserve the rich history of Florida's judicial system.
The society has undertaken the publication of books that chronicle the history of the Supreme Court of Florida, more than 20 oral histories honoring individuals who have had a major influence on the state's judicial system, maintaining archives of historical documents, and conducting tours and exhibits at the court.
Individuals wishing to be considered for election as a trustee for a three-year term beginning July 1 should send a brief letter indicating interest and a current resume by June 15 to John DeVault, chair of the nominating committee, at email@example.com.

Got out thursday the 27th at opening day spot. The area has food plots so i figured I would try the field game. Got a bird to answer a crow call at daybreak and set up 100yds across the field with a decoy. Tried the crow again after settling in and he's straight across from me. Probably the same bird from opener I'm guessing and he's heard it all by now. I tried some soft clucking and the hen's chimed right in, thats frigging great. Got the hen's pissed enough that another gobbler lets out one gobble in response to them. They all shut up after a few minutes and fly down at 6am, headed into the thick woods. Gobblers never answered me. Game over at 7am. Not running today as it was gonna be hot real quick.
Till next year,
roughrider out.

The following news and images are from Rebelscum. I would have posted this in the POTJ line, but since they arn't really POTJ figures I will put them here. I would have linked directly to the story, but BigB and a few others have commented that Rebelscum usually take forever to load on their computers. Overall they look pretty good. I hope that the Disney Stores will be carrying these.:
UPDATE: Carded Disney Droids
Mike: Carded Disney Star Tours figures have popped up on eBay. The images, though a bit obscure, offer a nice glimpse of the overall look and the interesting fact that they're packaged under the Power of the Jedi logo. Take a look at RX-24 aka Captain REX and G2-4T. Both are exclusive to Walt Disney resorts and could possibly be out now, although earlier reports indicate late July or early August. Thanks to Brian for the news!
Update: UPDATE: Carded Disney Droids
Mike: Oz sends us more photos of the new Star Tours Droids found at Walt Disney Resort in Florida. He reports that Disney received about 2 cases worth today for $10 each (a standard Disney pricepoint for basic figures). Better dust off that passport and head on over to the Magic Kingdom. Happy Hunting!

Updated February, 2012
Back in 2000, HonestReporting started as a small email list alerting subscribers to anti-Israel media bias. When HonestReporting took on The New York Times over the photo below, the real fight back began as the power of numbers proved its value in the Internet age. With this success, those numbers and the results have been growing ever since, turning HonestReporting into the world's premier grassroots media watchdog organization defending Israel against media bias.
Read on for the full story, Arab abuse of the image, our 10-year reunion video and interview, and related articles.
On September 30, 2000, The New York Times, Associated Press and other major media outlets published a photo of a young man — bloodied and battered — crouching beneath a club-wielding Israeli policeman. The caption identified him as a Palestinian victim of the recent riots — with the clear implication that the Israeli soldier is the one who beat him.
The victim's true identity was revealed when Dr. Aaron Grossman of Chicago sent the following letter to the Times:
Regarding your picture on page A5 of the Israeli soldier and the Palestinian on the Temple Mount — that Palestinian is actually my son, Tuvia Grossman, a Jewish student from Chicago. He, and two of his friends, were pulled from their taxicab while traveling in Jerusalem, by a mob of Palestinian Arabs, and were severely beaten and stabbed.That picture could not have been taken on the Temple Mount because there are no gas stations on the Temple Mount and certainly none with Hebrew lettering, like the one clearly seen behind the Israeli soldier attempting to protect my son from the mob.
In response, the New York Times published a half-hearted correction which identified Tuvia Grossman as "an American student in Israel" — not as a Jew who was beaten by Arabs. The "correction" also noted that "Mr. Grossman was wounded" in "Jerusalem's Old City" — although the beating actually occurred in the Arab neighborhood of Wadi al Joz, not in the Old City.
In response to public outrage at the original error and the inadequate correction, The New York Times reprinted Tuvia Grossman's picture — this time with the proper caption — along with a full article detailing his near-lynching at th the hands of Palestinians rioters.
Read Tuvia Grossman's in-depth, first-person account of his ordeal, entitled Victim of the Media War. www.aish.com/jewishissues/israeldiary/
The photo of a bloodied Tuvia Grossman became a symbol in the struggle to ensure that Israel receives the fair media coverage that every nation deserves.
In April 2002, a District Court in Paris ordered the French daily newspaper "Liberation" and the Associated Press to pay damages to Grossman in the amount of 4,500 Euro.
The Court condemned the Associated Press for "mispresenting [Grossman] as a member of the Palestinian community," while the court censured "Liberation" for "publishing the litigious picture with a comment edited the same faulty way, giving the picture a meaning and a scope it could not have."
Arab Abuse
Even more remarkable is that Arab groups have adopted Grossman's photo to use in their own propaganda campaigns, cynically using a bloodied Jew as a symbol of the Palestinian struggle.
An official Egyptian government website is using the Grossman photo on its "Photo Gallery".
And the Palestinian Information Center, www.islam.net, incorporated Tuvia's photo onto its homepage banner, (The graphic was recently removed from the site, but is reprinted here:)
Additionally, some Arab groups have called for a boycott of Coca-Cola, for doing business with Israel, and have circulated a series of posters to state their case. One poster shows Grossman's bleeding face juxtaposed with the Coca-Cola logo, and the tag line: "By supporting American products, you're supporting Israel."
Snopes.com reports that, ironically, since Ramallah is home to a Coca-Cola bottling facility that employs about 400 local residents (and indirectly creates employment for hundreds more), and Coca-Cola industries throughout the Middle East are operated as local businesses, any boycott of Coca-Cola in Middle Eastern countries is likely to cause more monetary harm to Arabs and Palestinians than it is to Americans or Israelis.
Snopes.com notes another irony: Pepsi is also on the Arab boycott list, with claims that the name "Pepsi" is an acronym for 'Pay Every Penny to Save Israel' or 'Pay Every Penny to the State of Israel.' As the Associated Press once noted, "Calling Pepsi a 'Jewish product' is ironic, given that Pepsi was one of many multinationals that wouldn't do business in Israel during the 40-year Arab commercial boycott of the Jewish state."
And of course the biggest irony of all is that the image chosen in the poster to represent Palestinian suffering was none other than Tuvia Grossman who nearly beaten to death by a Palestinian mob.

10-Year Reunion Exclusive Video and Interview
Ten years after the photo that started it all, HonestReporting reunited Tuvia Grossman with Israeli border policeman Gidon Tzefadi who rescued him from the Palestinian mob.
View the dramatic reunion in our EXCLUSIVE VIDEO and read an exclusive interview with Tuvia.

This has not been a good year for Ruby Tuesday (RT).
Ruby Tuesday's shares have fallen 9.5% this year, even as competitors like Chipotle Mexican Grill (CMG), Darden Restaurants (DRI) and Brinker International (EAT) have posted double-digit gains. It's announced cost cuts and real-estate sales, but neither will help arrest the slide in its sales.
So it should come as no surprise that Ruby Tuesday's is looking to sell itself, with Goldman Sachs (GS) supposedly helping to put together a deal.
Today, Ruby Tuesday released a statement that it said would help to "clarify this rumor." It did nothing of the sort.
The Company is aware of recent media reports suggesting it has hired Goldman Sachs to evaluate strategic alternatives. While it is our practice not to respond to market rumors and speculation, we believe it is important to clarify that this rumor did not originate from Ruby Tuesday. Ruby Tuesday's management and teams are committed to the Company's previously-disclosed strategic plans and remain confident in our brand transformation strategy and in our team's ability to successfully execute our plans.
At least we know Ruby Tuesday wasn't the leaker. That helps clarify things.
Shares of Ruby Tuesday have dropped 0.6% to $7.07 today at 10:48 a.m., while Darden has fallen 0.9% to %51.44, Brinker has declined 0.5% to $45.76 and Chipotle has gained 0.1% to $522.01.

Unethical Bioethicists?
Questions are swirling around the American Journal of Bioethics (AJOB). Exactly what is happening remains unclear, but Twitter is abuzz. University of Minnesota Bioethicist Leigh Turner, in particular, is loudly calling on the entire editorial board to resign, and he is picking up some support. Since the board, at least nominally, includes a virtual who's-who of bioethics, including 36 luminaries (read the list), this would be a very big deal.
The precipitating event here is that AJOB founder Glenn McGee, who boasts that Nature called him the "pioneer of bioethics on the Internet" has moved on, again. He launched the journal in 1999 when he was at the University of Pennsylvania, and took it with him when he moved in 2005 to the Alden March Bioethics Institute, and again when he left there three years later under a cloud of accusations (detailed in Scientific American) and moved to the Center for Practical Bioethics in Kansas, MO. There were questions then about the commercialization of bioethics, since his side business, which shares a website with the journal, was by then explicitly for-profit, but his latest move raises the stakes considerably: He's moved out of academia altogether, to take a position at Celltex Therapeutics in Houston.
Celltex is a stem-cell company, "the only Texas adult stem cell bank thus far," and set to benefit from freshly minted Texas rules about the use of treatments that have not been approved by the FDA. And they are partnered with RNLBio, the Korean company that is perhaps most notorious for dog cloning but, worse, was involved in the deaths of two patients.
(See "Stem cell graft, Texas-style" for details of RNLBio as the company that developed the procedure used to inject Texas governor Rick Perry with autologous stem cells last summer, and MSNBC's account of Perry pushing a bill through the legislature to authorize Celltex as a stem cell bank, a move it described as an example of "what critics view as his willingness to use the levers of state government to benefit friends and political benefactors.")
Meanwhile Bioethics.net, the for-profit online companion to AJOB, set up a page (now seemingly gone, but cached here) for "the Texas Association for Stem Cell Ethics and Policy."
McGee apparently realized that it might not look good for the editor of a bioethics journal to have as his day job supervising the ethics of a stem-cell company. So he turned his position as Editor-in-Chief over to his wife.* Really?
Well, the Co-Editors-in-Chief are now David Magnus, who has been involved for years, and Summer Johnson McGee, while Glenn is on the masthead as "Founder (Editor-in-Chief 1999-2012)." Which is a little odd, since he apparently took the job at Celltex at the beginning of December, but perhaps they're just catching up; the Info page was updated today. According to the weekly AJOB News email, the physical address changed from Kansas City to Houston in December (the Dec 9 email had the old address, later ones the new). And Summer Johnson McGee very rapidly acquired a position at Loyola, presumably in conjunction with the move to Texas that she and husband Glenn were making as he donned his private-sector hat.
As Leigh Turner points out on Twitter, it's a "big deal" to try "dodging COI [conflicts of interest] by handing editor hat to spouse." Moreover, there are suggestions that the AJOB editorial board knew nothing about the shift in leadership ahead of time. Is that true? If they didn't, why on earth not?
*Update: David Magnus told Inside Higher Ed that making Summer Johnson McGee Co-Editor was his idea.

Comment by Pete Shanks, Feb 14th, 2012 12:32pm
Thanks for the comment. We don't really disagree much. And it now seems that there has been "an attempt to backdate McGees resignation date as Editor-in-Chief of AJOB and scrub various websites" (http://www.healthintheglobalvillage.com/?p=616), which only raises more questions. Let's hope for definitive answers.
Comment by Kevin T. Keith, Feb 10th, 2012 9:28pm
This is a situation that bears looking into. The history of CellTex is fishy, as the article notes. The changes in AJOB's management, and the relationship of top figures at the journal to this commercial enterprise, should be carefully vetted. And, Glenn McGee's status as lightning rod is by now well-established, secured by his penchant for brazening through problems of his own creation without much self-critical judgment.
But it's far too early to be coming to conclusions, let alone dictating precipitate sacrifices to a Board of well-respected professionals that hasn't had time to review the situation yet. (As to "why on earth not?", I would guess the answer is that, like most academic or academic-publishing boards, this one is staffed by volunteers giving up limited personal time; they likely rarely or never meet in person, and likely haven't had time over the academic winter break to coordinate a response to the situation.) Nothing about this case demands an instantaneous condemnation. It's fair to let the people who actually have responsibility for oversight of AJOB work through their process, and it's reasonable to trust them to be able to do so.
Before rushing to judgement, we should also tease out the separate issues at hand. There are reasons to have reservations about CellTex and its overseas partners, but not all of those have anything to do with AJOB. Potentially corrupt actions by Rick Perry, and the dubious scientific worthiness of their underlying technology, cast doubts on CellTex, but do not prove that the company is so reprehensible that it is immoral to have any contact with it at all. Presumably, that is a determination that Glenn McGee has made, and will keep monitoring in his position as ethics officer. It is one that is open to criticism, too, but it is unfair to conclude that McGee is being dishonest or corrupt simply by taking the job.
There is a question whether a journal can fairly comment on certain technologies or companies if its leading editors are (one way or another) connected to such companies, using such technologies. But the same complaint can be raised regarding editors' relationships with academic institutions or experimental protocols. There are at least as close relations between most journal editors and academic institutions as between journal editors and commercial companies; the mere fact of the latter is no more evidence of corruption than is the former. Direct conflicts of interest should be avoided, but there is no way for journals - especially journals staffed by academic experts in a given field - to avoid all contact with players in their fields of interest; in fact, they should not want to.
As to the promotion of Summer McGee to co-editorship, that does raise questions of the true independence of her husband Glenn. But other sources have indicated that this was done at the direct request of David Magnus, who was asked to take on the sole editorship and insisted on Summer McGee's being involved. I think Magnus's stature in the field is such that no one would accuse him of agreeing to cover up some sort of underhanded conflict of interest. The situation also raises familiar questions of the career paths of academic spouses: the potential for conflict is obvious, but it is also unfair to assume one spouse (almost always a woman) must be shut out of opportunities because of the role of the other spouse.
Finally, as to whether AJOB shares a web domain with a commercial enterprise, that also seems like a minor issue. It would smell better if they were separate, but the fact that they co-exist by itself means little. It is no secret that Glenn McGee was the founder and promoter of AJOB, and it is no mark against him that he hoped to make money on it, or related enterprises. Most academic journals are in fact for-profit enterprises. Possibly the board should now consider ways to formally insulate AJOB from McGee's paid relationship with a different for-profit company, but that is a perfectly ordinary matter of business law - not a scandal or a crisis.
In short, there are real reasons to wonder about ethical conflicts in this situation, but relatively few that have serious implications for AJOB. Whatever is going on with CellTex and their questionable political and business associations is CellTex's - and now Glenn McGee's - problem. The relationship between Glenn McGee and AJOB, and any possible conflicts between AJOB's editorial independence and his search for income from AJOB or his new paid position, can be worked out through appropriate financial and editorial oversight, as many businesses do. The journal seems to be under effective and respected editorial leadership; I would think the new editors deserve a chance to prove themselves. The idea that Summer McGee is merely serving as a proxy for Glenn McGee, and worse, acting to further his conflicted interests in the journal, is both unfounded, as far as is apparently known now, and insulting. The idea that the board of leading figures in bioethics cannot figure out and address these issues seems strained. And the demand that they must all immediately resign without attempting to address them, or that these fairly minor personnel matters are somehow an ethical scandal beyond their capacity to manage, seems both unfair and unreasonable. In fact, it seems like a hyperbolic reaction to the lurid stories about CellTex, rather than a considered response to the relatively simple issues facing AJOB.
Not for the first time, Glen McGee has let a management issue embroil him in controversies that could have been more easily handled openly from the start. But nothing very dramatic has really happened. It is fair to all involved - both the principals and the oversight board - for outsiders to calm down and let things take their course. At the very least, the board of directors should undertake a measured but serious review of the situation, and should be given time to do so. There is no reason to think they cannot manage this issue by exercising their inherent responsibilities in a reasonable way.

First cycle - learning from my mistakes!
Hello everyone,
I'm new to aquaticcommunity.com and I need a bit of advice. I set up my first tank a little over 2 weeks ago. It's an Aqueon Evolve 8 (which is really more like 7 gallons), freshwater tank set up in my office. I'm using Flourite substrate, driftwood, and I put in some live plants about 3 days after I first filled the tank with water (they are growing excellent, by the way). The aquarium light is on a 10-hour timer. One week after first setting up, I added 3 guppies. Ultimately, I want 6-7 fish but I knew I should add fish a few at a time. Yesterday, one of the guppies died - the other 2 seem to be doing fine.
Here's where I think I made a few mistakes. Right before I left the office on Friday, I put in a self-feeding tablet for them to nibble on over the weekend, and it was completely gone when I got back yesterday, so I'm afraid there is a LOT of uneaten food in the aquarium now. I'll not be doing that again. Second, I did my first water change yesterday (about 40%), and I rinsed out the filter, so I'm pretty sure I killed any bacteria that were growing. I tested the water with a test strip (I know...I should really invest in a liquid kit!), and all the parameters were normal, although it did not test for ammonia.
Do you think I added too many fish at once? Did the ammonia level get too high because of the self-feeding tablet? The fish that died didn't show any signs of illess other than just getting weaker and weaker. He died right after the water change, so I guess the stress was too much for him in his weakened state. Like I said, though, the other two are fine.
So, until I can get a liquid test kit, what do you recommend? Should I do daily water changes, or leave it alone for a day or two? Also, is it better to let the fish go hungry over the weekend than risk overfeeding them?
Thanks in advance for your help!

So the tank is uncycled and you do not have a liquid test kit. Its going to be difficult to assess when you need to do a water change as ammonia or nitrites are usually the indicator.
I would say once a day should be more than enough, maybe a 50% chance.
Did you at a dechlorinator to your water before adding it to the tank?
And since you are in a cycle, its hard to say whether or not to feed the fish. You want the ammonia to build up so that you can grow good bacteria, but you also don't want the ammonia so high that it will harm the fish.
If it were me, I'd skip the feedings.
I am getting a liquid test kit as soon as I can get to the pet store, will be today or tomorrow.
Yes, I added dechlorinator.
Thanks for your reply - I'll change 50% of the water again this afternoon, and skip the feedings at first. And I won't get any more fish until I've determined that the ammonia is under control.
Sure thing. With two guppies in the tank, they only need like a flake each.
Personally, what I would do is feed once a day. I would also do a 50% water change everyday until you get the kit. Treat the water with a water conditioner that neutralizes chloramines/chorine and detoxifies ammonia like Kordon Amquel or Seachem Prime. Dose for the entire aquarium size. It can only bind the ammonia for 24-48 hours, which is the reason for the daily water change.
The fish can go without food on the weekends. But the problem I see from here is you added the guppies a couple weeks ago and this is a small tank. By two weeks time, your ammonia levels would have begun to rise. Fish may be fine for the first few days but they would be reaching the danger zone after two weeks and no water changes.
But I think trying to keep guppies in a 7 gallon tank will lead to some problems. Those fish breed like rabbits and soon your tank will be overstocked. If you want guppies, stick with males only. For now, keep up with water changes of one half. I'm not of the opinion they need daily water changes but I would think every 2-3 days would be warranted. Especially if you are doing larger water changes.

+1 to Lady Hobbs - keep in mind that the less water there is in the tank, the faster there will be ammonia build up. Until you get a test kit, it's very easy to change out half of your water very quickly to keep things from getting toxic.
Well I've only had the fish for a week, but I definitely see what you're saying Lady Hobbs. I do only have males, and plan to keep it that way. I'm open to other types of little fish, too, though.
I bought a liquid test kit last night and tested my water this morning. Here were the readings:
pH: 7.4
Ammonia: Between 0 and 0.25 ppm
Nitrite: 0 ppm
Nitrate: 0 ppm
Monday was when I found the dead fish; 40% water change on Monday and Tuesday afternoons. I did not change the water yesterday.
I think I'll do another water change this afternoon, and test again tomorrow to see what the ammonia level is. It looks like it's getting much better, no? Also, both remaining fish are still going strong.
Out of curiosity, does it take less, or the same amount of time for a nano tank to cycle as a larger one? I've had the fish in for a week and a half now.
Trying to cycle with fish in a small tank is much more difficult than trying to cycle a larger tank. The less water the more toxic it can get. But on the same principal, if you have a large tank and stock the beans out of it, you will still have the same problem. You have to stock enough to get the cycle going but not so much the toxic levels become lethal.
You have to test every day and do water changes when levels rise in both cases.

Descrizzione completa di tutto ciò che trovarsi nella galleria di pittura e scultura di Sua Altezza Giuseppe Wenceslao del S.R.I. Principe Regnante della casa di Lichtenstein ... / Data in luce da Vincenzio Fanti
Vienna : Giovanni Tommaso de Trattnern, 1767
708.1LIC, NGI Art Library
In 1767 the first catalogue of the important private collection of the House of Litchenstein was published. Extremely rare today, this limited edition by Vicenzo Fanti (1719-1776), is one of the oldest collection catalogues held in the library. Fanti, who was the curator of the collection, provides a brief introduction to painting, followed by a description of the palace and finally a comprehensive list by room of the works in the collection. Detailed entries record descriptions of the paintings, the measurements and weight of many Old Master works. A notable collection, the work of artists such as, Titian, Raphael, Lanfranco, Guido Reni, Poussin, as well as, many Dutch and Flemish 17th century artists, is documented . Biographical notes on the artists are also included. Fine engravings by the Viennese engraver Jacob Mattius Smutzer (1733-1811) after designs by Fanti also feature. These include a number of head and tail pieces, in addition to the engraving shown above, a large fold out frontispiece, representing an allegorical monument to art. This particular volume has an interesting Irish link. At the front of the book a bookplate with the Fitzgerald coat of arms, indicates that it was once part of the library collection in Carton House, Co. Kildare.

News Releases 2004
NOAA Home Page
NOAA Public Affairs
On July 31, 2004, NOAA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and Ft. Calhoun, Neb., will celebrate the bicentennial of the Corps of Discovery Expedition, led by explorers Meriweather Lewis and William Clark 200 years ago. NOAA's National Geodetic Survey will set a commemorative marker on the grounds of Ft. Atkinson State Park.
The marker ceremony will be at 1:00 p.m. NOAA's Project Manager for the Lewis and Clark Celebration, Steve Randall will make a presentation on "Jefferson's Vision." Director of the Nebraska Department of Roads, John Craig, will also make a presentation. This ceremony is part of the Official Lewis & Clark Bicentennial "National Signature Events," of which there will be 15 nationally through 2006. NOAA is an agency of the U.S. Department of Commerce.
Equipped with only a few basic surveying tools, Lewis and Clark literally measured their way across unknown territory. Beginning at Wood River, Ill., in 1804, Lewis and Clark spent the next two years traveling through newly acquired territory that now includes Missouri, Kansas, Iowa, Nebraska, South Dakota, North Dakota, Montana, Idaho, Oregon and Washington. They reached the Pacific Ocean in 1805 and traveled back in 1806.
In January 2003, the Corps of Discovery II Expedition began retracing the steps of Lewis and Clark. The National Geodetic Survey placed a marker at Monticello in Charlottesville, Va., the home of Thomas Jefferson and symbolic starting point of the expedition. Jefferson initiated the Corps of Discovery Expedition with a letter to Congress in 1803. The design of the marker is based on the Jefferson Peace Medal, a memento that Lewis and Clark presented to American Indian leaders as they traveled west. The commemorative expedition will continue through 2006.
"Jefferson had an image of America as a land of small property ownership and well-defined boundaries," said Charlie Challstrom, director of the National Geodetic Survey. "Lewis and Clark executed this vision, measuring their way across America with only a few basic surveying tools and resources at hand. Today, the geography of America continues to be more accurately depicted through NOAA and National Geodetic Survey use of advanced positioning technology."
Each commemorative marker is located using a Global Positioning System device. The coordinates derived are a part of the National Spatial Reference System, which serves as the nation's geodetic reference framework for latitude, longitude and elevation. The National Geodetic Survey establishes and maintains National Spatial Reference System, providing the foundation for transportation and communication systems, boundary and property surveys, land record systems, mapping and charting, and a multitude of scientific and engineering applications.
As a surveyor, Thomas Jefferson had a vision for a clear delineation of the United States coastline to reduce shipwrecks while expanding commerce and industry. Jefferson created the Coast and Geodetic Survey, to focus on the importance of geodesy, the science of measuring the size and shape of the earth, and the nation's coasts. After a federal reorganization in 1970, part of Coast and Geodetic Survey became National Geodetic Survey, falling under the NOAA umbrella.
NOAA's National Ocean Service, which includes the National Geodetic Survey, is dedicated to exploring, understanding, conserving and restoring the nation's coasts and oceans. It balances environmental protection with economic prosperity in fulfilling its mission to promote safe navigation, support coastal communities, sustain coastal habits and mitigate coastal hazards.
NOAA is dedicated to enhancing economic security and national safety through the prediction and research of weather and climate-related events and providing environmental stewardship of our nation's coastal and marine resources.

Port seals
The design of the port seal creates a flexible sealing joint that seals via axial/or radial compression or the rubber. Typical applications involve sealing hydraulic circuits within an automatic transmission.
- One or more port seals integrated into one single unit
- Special designs with reinforcement (spring or stamping) for non-supported locations
- Rubber moulding for applications with full housing provide radial sealing and wide axial assembly tolerances
- Simple installation because of reinforcements
- Less inventory when integrating several port seals into a single unit
- Long life and minimized rubber fatigue due to additional support features
- Consistent fluid flow and optimum gear change performance

The singers of One Direction have taken their talent around the world. Now they are taking it to the big screen, in a documentary film called This Is Us. Directed by Morgan Spurlock, the movie follows each band mate's journey from small town to superstardom. TFK caught up with Spurlock to talk about making the film, and what it was like to work with one of the world's biggest bands.
Your past works have included documentary films like Freakonomics and Super Size Me. Was This Is Us a big shift in focus for you?
It is a big, massive undertaking to make a movie like this. My goal was to make a fun, pop documentary. I wanted the movie to capture today's pop culture and translate to a mainstream audience. You don't get a chance to make a documentary that is much more accessible or mainstream than this.
How did the opportunity come about for you to direct this film?
I'd been considered in the past to direct other pop documentaries, like the Katy Perry and Justin Bieber films, but because of time and other commitments I was unable to. So when I got the call about the One Direction movie, I didn't want to miss another opportunity like that. As a documentary filmmaker it's a rare opportunity to make a movie of this scale, especially about a band like One Direction. These boys are at an incredible moment of their careers where they're still kind of exploding through space. There are so many things about this film that I was really excited about.
Have you worked with musicians before?
When I first started working on documentaries, I did stuff with independent music record labels, but nothing on the level of One Direction.
How long were you filming this movie?
We started filming in January 2013. We went to Tokyo with the band and followed them on their first trip into Asia. It was amazing capturing that moment. The last thing we shot was their first stadium show in Mexico, which was also an incredible experience. It was about six months total of shooting.
What was it like traveling to all these places, each one with such a huge One Direction fan base?
The "fandemonium" of 1D is universal—it doesn't matter what country you're in. From the thousands of girls in Japan to the thousands camping outside the hotel in Mexico, to the thousands that are chasing the bus down the street in Paris, this band has transcended culture in a way that is remarkable. They have touched and spoken to people on such a deep and global level. It's very inspiring.
How did you choose which concerts and locations to include in the final cut of the film?
The decisions are ultimately all about story. I had to think about how each scene [pushed] our narrative forward and contributed to the plot. And that's the hard part; we had about 963 hours of footage we had to cut down to a 90-minute movie.
What is the narrative you were trying to create and follow?
I wanted to tell a simple story. This is a movie about friends, dreams, and family. You see how these boys, who were pushed and supported by their families, were given courage and motivation to go out and chase their dreams. As that starts to happen, and they start to explode, they develop a new family of band mates. Each of these guys understands what the other is going through. They are all far from home and away from their families, and in such a different world from where they started. Out of that shared experience comes a very deep friendship that will last a lifetime. I wanted that idea to be alive and well in the movie.
Was it ever a challenge to show the band as normal guys, and not just a huge pop sensation?
It was easy because they've surrounded themselves with people who have not let them go cuckoo. Each one keeps the others grounded to reality, and reminds them where they are and who they are. They have an amazing support team who has been around them since day one of this journey. Everyone cares for and trusts each other. When you reach this level of success, trust is a big component of that.
You visited each band mate's hometown. What was that experience like?
It was great. When you see where they come from, there is nothing more humanizing than that. They come from humble beginnings and very simple lives. Speaking with their families was a very heartwarming and emotional experience. These young men essentially went to a talent show at the age of 16 and they never really came home again.
How was it working with Zayn, Niall, Louis, Harry, and Liam?
They are so much fun. They're so charming and so likeable and they really do just love to have a good time. For me, the most important thing was to show as much of that fun essence as I could. I wanted to create a real open and honest portrayal of who they are. I think the film does that well.
Do you have a favorite story or memory?
The very first time I met with them to have a conversation about the film a food fight broke out during our meeting. I was just sitting there and the boys started jumping on the chairs and chucking dinner rolls at each other. I realized then that this was going to be a great movie.
What's your favorite One Direction song?
I have officially become a Directioner over the course of making this movie, having seen them in concert over 30 times. I love the songs "She's Not Afraid" and "Kiss You." If you go to a One Direction concert, bring earplugs. Not for the music, but for the screaming fans.
This Is Us is rated PG and opens in theaters today.

|Pacific Northwest Sea Run Forum No such thing as rainbow trout, only landlocked steelhead
|Topic Review (Newest First)
RE:Brian's Video Clip
Yeah, I've shown a few pics of steelhead taken on dry/skated flies in the summer to trout fishing coworkers and watched the looks on their faces. It's kinda fun - you can see the play of emotions as they imagine getting their *%*es kicked by these fish. Their eyes get big and they ask, "You got these fish on the ***Surface***??".
Maybe the video is what it takes to make it "real" for them.
Brian's Video Clip
I gave a talk at the local TU on Spey fishing and steelhead. As I went thru the slide show most were kinda unimpressed. They had that look of "BFD" a long rod I don't care about. Then I "whipped out" the 10150-4. Eyes started to open a bit.
When I hit play on the camcorder and the big screen TV showed Andre's footage of my second cast steelie (#### luck) on the COW, the room was abuzz... but when they saw Brian throwing to the opposite side willows with his Spey rod the straw broke the camels back and the whole contingent came alive. They were totally convinced that it was not just an esoteric group of fancy-flingers reliving the crusty rituals to justify $70 bottles of scotch. Most got up out of their seats and started to ask a million questions.

The iSonic 101 - Totally covered to perform under all circumstances
The iSonic 101 has many peculiarities. The outline is still quite rectangular and in 2009 there not only the usual cutaways and side cuts but also added wingers in the outline between the straps to reduce the wetted surface.
The board rides higher than in 2008, and the length and lateral stability are still there. This boards advantage is that you just have to follow the foot-strap and mast-track indications to go fast with not so much effort, as long as you have a well trimmed rig. With this, the board does all the work. Light, the board gets planing very fast even though it has less volume and floatability compared to the other boards in this test.
The iSonic is still a relatively powerful board so you can really drive the fin. For this reason we also recommend molded fins that have a good response. It glides really fast on all tacks: this is the point that has made the most progress this year. The responsiveness under your toes has also improved, making it easier for you to pilot the board. Its strongest points are upwind and reaching. Once again, we appreciate the blend of glide, control and power. This criteria gives it the cutting edge in all circumstances, particularly in a slalom race with many riders or on long legs close to the wind when other boards become harder to ride. Its not the one that has the best short jibe, but its exit speed advantage makes the difference. High in performances, it gives you a very constant and very high speed.
+ Versatility, glide, cutting edge performance in all circumstances, exit jibe speed, 2 fins
- Nothing
Overall Test Verdict:
The 2009 tendency is to make board more and more powerful and more and more controllable.
Starboard has really created waves with their original low nose concept. While they now ride a bit higher, and also remain the reference by being excellent in all categories, the majority of the other brands now follow with rather low boards, easy to control but still ultra-fast.
If it was necessary to choose without taking into account the size differences and wind range, the iSonic seems the board with most arguments in its favor while the RRD really pleasantly surprised us easy speed on long leg close to the wind

A bone
Tumor - bone; Bone cancer; Primary bone tumor; Secondard bone tumor
The cause of bone tumors is unknown. They often occur in areas of rapid bone growth. Possible causes include:
In most cases, no specific cause is found.
Osteochondromas are the most common noncancerous (benign) bone tumors, and occur most often in people between the ages of 10 and 20.
Cancers that start in the bones are referred to as primary bone tumors. Cancers that start in another part of the body (such as the breast, lungs, or colon) are called secondary or metastatic bone tumors. They behave very differently from primary bone tumors. Multiple myeloma often affects or involves the bone, but is not considered a primary bone tumor.
Cancerous (malignant) bone tumors include:
The cancers that most often spread to the bone are cancers of the:
These forms of cancer usually affect older people.
Bone cancer was once very common among people who made glow-in-the-dark dials using radium paint. The practice of using radium paint was abandoned in the mid-1900s.
Bone cancer is more common in families with familial cancer syndromes.
Note: Some benign tumors have no symptoms.
The doctor or nurse will perform a physical exam. Tests that may be done include:
This disease may also affect the results of the following tests:
Some benign bone tumors go away on their own and do not require treatment. Your doctor will closely monitor you and order periodic x-rays to see if the tumor shrinks or grows.
Surgery may be needed to remove the tumor in some cases.
Treatment for cancerous bone tumors that have spread from other parts of the body depends on where the cancer started. Radiation therapy may be given to prevent a fractures or to relieve pain.
Tumors that start in the bone are rare. They require treatment at centers with experience treating such cancer. After biopsy, a combination of chemotherapy and surgery is usually necessary. Radiation therapy may be needed before or after surgery.
It may be helpful to join a support group where members share common experiences and problems. See: Cancer - support group.
How well you do depends on the type of bone tumor.
The outcome is expected to be good for people with noncancerous (benign) tumors. However, some benign bone tumors may turn to cancer.
Most patients with cancerous bone tumors that have not spread can achieve a cure. The cure rate depends on the type of cancer, location, size, and other factors. Talk to your doctor or nurse about your particular cancer.
Call your health care provider if you have symptoms of a bone tumor.

RE:Circle Crab
No doubt fletch-tite has the strength but I'm not sure how well it will bond to a fiberous material like the felt. I picked up 3 squares of felt a craft store today ( @ $ 0.16 per ) to try on the circle crab!
Will experiment with the F-T as well as E-Z Sparkle body on top of the felt and report in later...
RE:Circle Crab
Thanks Fishhawk! My wife's got one of those hot glue guns and it does sound easier than the way I do it. I tried other adhesives but if the glue soaked into the felt too much it was very difficult to work with and the felt lost it's lightweight and natural look. I recall that the hot glue came in sticks and would be of the correct consistency for the job. I'll give it a try!
Bob - does fletch-tite have a strong enough bonding strength to hold two felt pads together despite some stuff crammed in between (legs, hook shaft, etc)?? I really like the way it held the  double bunny together.
RE:Circle Crab
Nice job Juro I found that Glue from a hot glue gung works for me in joining the velcro pads together
Circle Crab
As mentioned, I've found that stripers tend to get crabs into their crusher plates and so are deep hooked more often with crab flies than other imitations. Therefore I'm trying circle hooks this year for this fly...
Circle hook - in this case a 1/0 Gamakatsu black, but looking for other colors like green to match the green crab look. Gami is famous for chemical dye on hooks so I have hope.
- 50# mono
- grizzy marabou tuft
- butane lighter
- tan and green felt (in sheets at craft store for peanuts)
- rubber legs (I like green with sparkles)
- goop or other adhesive
(a video clip will follow)
1) Tie in a pair of small weighted eyes in the clouser style. Go heavy on the thread to ensure sturdiness, put a drop of zap-a-gap on the thread and let it dry
2) Take a small length of 50# mono and make a fish-shaped loop. Tie the vertex against the center shank of the hook, on the side away from the point. This becomes the frame for the fly, so as you might expect it is tied in perpendicular to the bend. Wrap sturdily and put a drop of zap-a-gap on the junction to secure it.
3) Tie the grizzly marabou tuft's stem to the vertex of the mono loop so its barbs will extend beyond the felt body shell when that's added later.
4) Tie in four rubber strands in a madam-X fashion to the vertex of the mono loop on the shank of the hook.
5) Lay two sheets (green on tan) of felt together and cut the body shape out at the same time.
6) Apply plumber's goop to both sides of the felt and adhere to the assembly so that everything sticks out as desired... legs, eyes, filia, etc.
7) Use lighter to melt eyes into dark bulbs.
Let dry and fish it right on the sand. I have been amazed at the fish-catching ability of this thing. I've got some stories about it on Monomoy that I'll reserve for the clave!

After a bit of a coding break due to social buisiness, I dove right back in to the second part of the file transfer code. Got a passable UI working, and the backend straightend out to the point where it compiles without warnings, but is still braindamaged.
Lots of bugs have been fixed, optimizations made, and the file tranfer UI has been pryed apart from the backend. The new code is going to be good once its done. It has a few fixes and cleanups which should really be put in CVS through a fixup patch right now, but I'm much too lazy for that.
Tommorow I'll probably wake up, work on the horrible UI a bit more, then go right back to getting the backend fully functional. But I'm incredibly tired right now, to the point where writing this diary entry is horrribly challenging, so I'm going to go to sleep now.

All of the people involved in the attempted obfuscation are black and in Georgia, correct?
This. Don't kid yourselves.
And if a similar misrepresentation was done in the title of a thread that placed blame on all "whites" because of the actions of one (non-related) individual, this board would be up in arms. Don't kid yourselves.
Did O.J have the support of the black community or just his next of kin?
How is that relevant to THIS post or THIS incident?
It shows the willingness of blacks to protect blacks when the victim is white.
Jeez, people are just trying to be offended. People start covering up for fricking baby killers and the takeaway message is "RACISSSSS!!!"
Following the brief court hearing, a confrontation took place on the steps of the Glynn County Courthouse.Several members of the New Black Panther Party, who attended the hearing, were confronted by Brunswick minister Ken Adkins, who told them to leave town.The exchange of words lasted a few minutes before Rev. Adkins was escorted by court security off courthouse property."Their message is hate, their message is divide. It is not accountability," said Adkins, who strongly feels the group creates problems wherever it goes.Minister Mikhail Muhammad told reporters the New Black Panther party offers a voice that is not being heard in Brunswick.Muhammad questioned the rapid speed to judgement in the case of De'Marquise Elkins, 17, and Dominique Lang, 15, who are charged with murder."We believe again the quick indictment. Why not wait till all the evidence and facts are presented? Why the rush?" said Muhammad.
Like I keep saying over and over again, spend a week on this message board and it will become blatantly obvious why the GOP/conservatives struggle so much to get support from any minority groups.

Deeplinks Blog posts about Test Your ISP
Last week, the FCC announced the "FCC Open Internet Apps Challenge," a contest to attract software that helps ordinary users measure whether their Internet services — both mobile broadband and traditional "fixed" broadband — are consistent with open Internet principles. The FCC is also asking for submissions of "research papers that analyze relevant Internet openness measurement techniques, approaches, and data." This is a welcome effort from the FCC, and we hope to see software developers and researchers help the public better discover how our networks and service providers are treating our Internet communications.
In a ruling that imposes important limits on the FCC's authority to regulate the Internet, the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals today overturned the FCC ruling against Comcast for interfering with the BitTorrent traffic of its subscribers. The court found that the Commission had overstepped the limits of its "ancillary authority" when it disciplined Comcast for its clandestine blocking behavior.
Remember what put the debate over net neutrality into high gear? In 2007, EFF and the Associated Press confirmed suspicions that Comcast was clandestinely blocking BitTorrent traffic. It was one of the first clear demonstrations that ISPs are technologically capable of interfering with your Internet connection, and that they may not even tell you about it. After receiving numerous complaints, the FCC in 2008 stepped in and threw the book at Comcast, requiring them to stop blocking BitTorrent. The Comcast-BitTorrent experience put net neutrality at the top of the FCC agenda.
UPDATE (9/4/14): The net neutrality landscape has changed in the last few years, and not for the better. Here's a discussion about EFF's updated stance and here's our issue page, with links to our most recent blog posts.
On Thursday, Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman Julius Genachowski is expected to unveil draft rules aimed at imposing network neutrality obligations on Internet Service Providers (ISPs). In the excitement surrounding the announcement, however, many have overlooked the fact that the this rulemaking is built on a shoddy and dangerous foundation – the idea that the FCC has unlimited authority to regulate the Internet.
Today, the New America Foundation, PlanetLab and Google announced the launch of the Measurement Lab project, an initiative to provide server resources for researchers interested in network neutrality and performance testing. This is good news for the community of academics and activists who are trying to map, measure and record the state of network management by ISPs as well as many other aspects of Internet performance.

Total Chef Two-Tier Chocolate Fountain
Description & Highlights
Total Chef Two-Tier Chocolate Fountain
Turn any get-together into a gala with the Total Chef Two-Tier Chocolate Fountain (TCCFS-02). The auger-style fountain features a two-tier tower and can hold about 2 pounds of chocolate or any other free-flowing sauce. Just pour melted chocolate into the pre-heated base and switch on the motor; the chocolate travels up the tower then gently flows over each tier, creating cascading curtains of creamy chocolate for dipping marshmallows, fruit, crackers and anything else your taste buds can handle.
To get the party started, simply turn the "heat" knob on the right and let the unit pre-heat for around five minutes. In the meantime, melt your fondue chocolate in either a double burner or in the microwave (being extra careful not to burn the chocolate). Then simply turn the "motor" knob (left) to the on position, pour the chocolate into the bowl basin and watch the magic begin.
Easy to Disassemble Design:The stainless-steel upper section detaches from the rest of the unit making the clean-up very simple and quick. Breaking the unit down into two parts is also handy during storage and transportation
Chocolate Capacity:The heated stainless-steel base holds about 2 pounds of liquid. The fountain can be used for chocolate or other heated sauces such as cheese and butterscotch as long as the sauce has a creamy consistency
Safety Features:Safe heating and eating temperatures can differ depending on the sauce being used. The adjustable dial allows users to control the temperature of the base which helps prevent burning. The height-adjustable feet on the bottom ensure stability and allow for accurate leveling during use

I recently posted about SciFi writer Peter Watts, who I've begun to appreciate a great deal. He shares my obsession with science and what it means to be 'human,' or even 'conscious.' Unlike me, however, he's actually a scientist. In a recent post on his blog, entitled "The Neurology of Transcendence," he summarizes what appears to be a very important neurology study (conducted on willing patients dying of brain cancer).
In that study, the surgical removal of specific neurons in a specific part of the brain (go read the article, please) resulted in a sense of increased 'spirituality,' and a relative lack of awareness of self in space, leading to a sense of what I might call 'cosmic feeling.' The images below are ganked directly from Watts' page, entirely without permission.
It's an elegant little study, and another carpet-tack in the casket-lining of the supernatural — yet still we tread so very lightly to avoid giving offence, to reassure the world that we sit atop some pinnacle. "We're dealing with a complex phenomenon that's close to the essence of being human,"neurojock Salvatore Aglioti tells Scientific American, as though we're the only species on the planet whose brain has a subroutine for keeping track of body parts. "They need to be very careful how they word things as they proceed," warns one of the comments on the same page, "there are people who will take great offense otherwise. It's going to be important to make clear the FEELING may be biologically based, and make NO comment on the stimuli leading to the feeling." Even Urgesi et al refer to spirituality, in their introduction, as "a view of the human condition in transcendent contexts and in relation to unseen realities/supernatural agents" (italics mine).

Ahhhhh, I came to Advogato because I wanted to be distracted from work, and here I am again, trying to avoid writing this History essay. I love you Interweb!
I started hacking on something for GStreamer last night. I hope it won't take too long, I get jumpy if I'm away from autopackage for a while, and I keep feeling I should spend all my spare time on this contract work for Wine. Nonetheless, it's kind of important that GStreamer is more robust - the fact that it works at the moment is mostly a matter of blind luck (on single processor machines).
Luckily dolphy wants to build a high end streaming server using it, which means fixing SMP breakage, which means making GStreamer finally use threads sanely.
I'm not working for dolphy unfortunately, but as a part of that and my recurring interest in low level kung-fu I am writing an inter-thread marshaller, or to be more accurate as no actual marshalling is done, a thread thunker.
I fiddled with using inline assembly, some interesting hacks with the stack, gcc extensions and so on for a bit until I resigned myself to the inevitable - code generation is the easiest way to get portable and easy to understand code. The way it basically works is that you place a macro call (?) as the first line of your function (so you need a C99 compiler), for instance:
void some_object_method(SomeObject *self, int param) {
THREAD_THUNK(some_object_method, self, param);
"self" is a GObject (or really any structure) which tells you which GThread owns the current object. If that thread != the current thread, the call is redirected to a stub which places all the parameters into a structure which is then pushed onto an asynchronous queue. We then block on a condition until the owning thread dispatches the function call via a stub which unpacks the structure. The proxy/stub code should hopefully be transparent. So far, so simple.
Issues I don't currently deal with - the code generator is non-existant, I'll prolly try hacking that tonight. If you call a thunked function and that function calls another, the second function will be executed in the owning thread of the first which might not be what you expect. Signals have the same problem, they aren't marshalled into other threads, so you can get callbacks on a different thread to the one you expect.
Typically that's not a problem but code which uses TLS slots (GPrivate in glib), for instance OpenGL, can break if that happens.
You can also get deadlock as there's no re-entrancy yet. If you have two objects owned by two threads (A and B), A can call into B which can then call back into A but function dispatch is not being done, so the threads freeze. Probably the simplest solution to this is to have the stub dispatch incoming thunked calls while waiting on the result of the previous one. I say "simple" but of course this can get hairy really quickly - we don't want to do what DCOM/Bonobo do and re-enter the main loop, or perhaps even dispatch any non-related incoming method call while blocking inside another one. The principle of least surprise tells me I should somehow restrict the scope of thunk re-entrancy, but I need to think it through more clearly.
Fun stuff, anyway :)

Alright, I'm reaching back a few years for this one. It was my first season hunting these things. I just got back from Texas and had tremendous success there with two kills. Bobby told me how tough these Easterns were, but I came back ready for one.
I hit the woods with a lot of confidence, and a little cockiness. After hours and hours of walking, calling, listening, amd looking for birds I was done. Probably sweated out several pounds and was about to collapse. They got me. I knew these turkeys were here, but man I couldn't locate one if my life depended on it.
I got in my jeep and headed home. Beat down and defeated. After some water and air conditioning, I got a second wind. I just couldn't go home yet. I didn't even hear a gobble. So I went over to another tract of our property.
Pulling up to the gate, too tired to get out, I hung my Lynch box call out the window, hammered on it, and low and behold.....a gobble! Of course now my gear is in the back seat, my shotgun is unloaded and in my case, and this bird is hot. I don't know how fast I got ready, but I'm sure it was seconds.
I jumped out, ran into the woods a ways, called.....no gobble. Called again.....no gobble. Man, I thought I really screwed up and ran up on this bird. I collected my thoughts, pulled out a different call, sounded off some light yelps and GOBBLE! I set up and started working him in with some light purrs and clucks. He cut every call off.
Anyway, I'll wrap this story up. That 2 year old gobbler hit the dirt 59 minutes later. My first Eastern! I'll never forget it. Bobby Parks got the first phone call and I'm sure my heart was still pumping so fast and I was breathing so heavily, he probably thought it was an obsene phone call. My moral of the story is...DON'T GIVE UP. That bird ended up at the end of my shotgun at 1:30 in the aftrnoon.

Appeals court upholds Act 10
MADISON, Wis. - The 7th Circuit Court of Appeals has upheld Wisconsin's Act 10, which puts limits on collective bargaining for public employees.
The case was brought by the Wisconsin Education Association Council and six other unions and argued the law is unconstitutional. The federal court upheld the law in its entirety, according to the decision released Friday.
U.S. District Judge William Conley in March overturned part of the law requiring unions hold elections each year for members to retain their official status. The judge also said the law illegally halted the automatic withdrawal of union dues.
"Today's decision by the 7th Circuit confirms what I have stated from the beginning. Act 10 is constitutional. While there are no guarantees, it is my hope that this decision will pave the way for resolving any remaining challenges in a manner that supports the legislative decisions made by our elected officials, " said Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen.
The ruling stated that Act 10's prohibition on payroll dues deduction does not violate the First Amendment.
The ruling states, "Nothing supports treating the selective prohibition of payroll deductions as a burden on or obstacle to the speech of general employee unions. Instead, Act 10 simply subsidizes the speech of one group, while refraining from doing so for another."
Gov. Scott Walker released a statement calling the ruling a victory for taxpayers.
"The provisions contained in Act 10, which have been upheld in federal court, were vital in balancing Wisconsin's $3.6 billion budget deficit without increasing taxes, without massive public employee layoffs, and without cuts to programs like Medicaid," he said.
WEAC released a statement calling the ruling disappointing for Wisconsin educators.
The statement read, "What is so abundantly clear is that Act 10 was never about addressing the fiscal needs of the state but instead a ploy to eliminate workers' rights to have a voice through their union – political payback for citizens who didn't endorse the governor."
Madison Teachers Inc. Executive Director John Matthews said it's likely the case will proceed to the U.S. Supreme Court.

p.s. Youngstown St. should be on bye more often: they move up 2 spots to #10 in the FCS poll! :thumbsup:

p.s. Youngstown St. should be on bye more often: they move up 2 spots to #10 in the FCS poll! :thumbsup:
Ohio State scored early and often in its shutout of Purdue on the road. Pitt stays relatively close, but still gets beaten up at at Georgia Tech. YSU comes back at the Dakota Dome vs. Univ. of SD in the final minute. And sure, other schools played games, too; or were on bye weeks.
Nebraska beats Northwestern 27-24 on a last second hail mary pass. The game started out with the offense playing well and the defense playing terrible. After the first quarter, it was the opposite. While it was a very exciting finish, I don't know if much positive can be taken from this game.
YSU moved up to #8 in the poll. They should make a return to the FCS playoffs, I hope. :D
Will any of the BCS top-5 teams lose, which are all in different conferences, IIRC? Can't wait for the hybrid "playoffs" next year.
Nebraska beat Michigan 17-13. Even though UM isn't very good this year, it was still a good win. It was Brady Hoke's first loss at home and the first time NU has won at Michigan since 1962.
Sigh... not all good this weekend. Ohio State does win, scoring 60, :) but giving up 35. :( Pitt gives up a late 4th quarter punt return TD against North Carolina, and loses by 7. :( YSU has a big showdown hosting #1 ND State and is close at the half, but the visitors pulled away in the second. :(
FCS has one week left (YSU hosts SD State) before the playoffs, there are two games remaining for OSU (home vs. Indiana & at The Big House, plus perhaps the "BIG 10 or 12 or Maybe 11" title game), and Pitt goes to Syracuse and hosts Miami to end theirs (hoping to be bowl eligible).
That tipped 4th-down catch in the Auburn/MS State game was outrageous! Stanford losing helps the top 10 teams, too.
Nebraska loses to Michigan State 41-28. The score isn't indicitive of how well we played. We coughed up the ball 5 times on our side of the field, giving MSU easy points. If we would've stopped shooting ourselves in the foot, I think we played well enough to win this game.
Yeah, the Auburn/MS game had a pretty wild ending.
Some goods: Pitt holds off Syracuse 17-16, OSU wins 42-14 on Senior Day. But YSU might be on the outside of the FCS playoffs after a bad home loss against SD State. :( We'll see. Buckeyes get "that team up north" next week, then MSU in the conference title game. On to the BCS title game? Only if there are some losses in the #1 or #2 spots.
Nebraska beats Penn State 23-20 in OT. While its nice to get the win, I wish we would play up to our potential and quit making so many stupid mistakes. Iowa is next week and they looked pretty good against Michigan. Yeah, OSU is going to need some help to get to the title game even if they blow out MSU in the BIG10 championship.
So, you don't think the rivalry games Florida/Florida St. or the Iron Bowl will lead to upsets? It does look unlikely. Baylor falling flat last night at another OSU helped The OSU.
