Remember those smooth, round boulders and pebbles we all had in our gardens a few years back, most of them no doubt prescribed by some transient landscape designer? There were a lot of agaves and dracaena dracos around at the same time, a bit of a "landscape fixture" as I recall, well-rooted in the late-90s.
Somehow the small collection that once adorned part of our front garden has slowly migrated around the property so that they are now drainage in the herb garden down the back, such is the waxing and waning of landscape preferences.
Over the years, somewhere between the trophy front garden (which, I might add, it is not) and the moveable feast that is our "kitchen" garden, these boulders and pebbles have been used in all manner of innovative child-friendly games (such as stone-throwing and homemade petanque) to more practical applications, such as a gate stop or a bookend.
So lowly are these pebbles now regarded as a landscape feature in our garden it was no surprise to find them brought inside one weekend as part of an "art lesson" devised and directed by an 8-year-old dying to become just like her favourite teacher at school.
"Now what we're going to do today," she intoned in a melodic, sing-song kind-of-way "is wash the stones under the tap, and then you get the paints out and then ...". I'm sure you're getting the drift by now. To my great shame I rolled my eyes (when she wasn't looking, of course) and stifled a giggle. Craft snob that it appears I am, I found the idea of painted stones simply undo-able. But for her sake (and clearly feeling a little guilty by this point) I sucked it up and got "on task" with the stones.
To my great surprise, I quickly became enthused by my stone and actually enjoyed my art lesson so much that now I'm trying to sell you the idea. So, break out your paints and a few art books (think Miro, Matisse, Mondrian) and make yourself a bespoke paper weight, bookend or doorstop.
Step 1 - Grovel around in the garden for said rocks and pebbles. Such is the insidious nature of their dispersion that if you don't personally have any you can bet your neighbour or friend does. Wash victims under the tap to get rid of any dirt and debris.
Step 2 - Gather a few art books to give you some ideas. There are no hard-and-fast rules here but think about scale and also take into account the size of your brushes. I started by painting a block of colour as the background and then layering detail over the top. You don't have to torture yourself with something complicated and difficult, often a simple repetitive design will be effective, such as dots or alternating stripes.
Step 3 - Once you're satisfied with your final effort let the paint dry completely before applying a few layers of varnish with a dry brush. Let the varnish dry between layers.
• 1 Smooth pebbles or rocks
• 1 Acrylic paints, range of brushes
• 1 Varnish

Pancreatitis has rarely been reported in association with minocycline (the active ingredient contained in Ximino) use. Two case reports of cystic fibrosis patients who experienced pancreatitis while being treated with minocycline for acute bacterial exacerbations of respiratory disease have been published in the medical literature. The authors suggested that cystic fibrosis patients, as a result of the disease process, may be more susceptible to drug-induced pancreatitis. Additionally, in at least one case, multiple medications were being given concomitantly; therefore, a temporal relationship between minocycline and pancreatitis could not be proven conclusively.
Esophagitis and esophageal ulcerations have been reported in patients taking the capsule or tablet formulations of tetracycline-class antibiotics. Most of these patients took the drug immediately before going to bed.[Ref]
Gastrointestinal side effects have included abdominal cramping, anorexia, diarrhea, dyspepsia, dysphagia, enamel hypoplasia, enterocolitis, esophagitis, esophageal ulcerations, glossitis, nausea, oral cavity and tooth discoloration, inflammatory lesions (with monilial overgrowth) in the oral and anogenital regions, pancreatitis, pseudomembranous colitis, stomatitis, vomiting, and dry mouth.[Ref]
Nervous system
Nervous system side effects have included convulsions, headache, hypesthesia, paresthesia, sedation, vestibular reactions including dizziness and vertigo. Decreased hearing, tinnitus, benign intracranial hypertension (pseudotumor cerebri) in adults, and bulging fontanels in infants have been reported.[Ref]
Hepatic side effects have included hyperbilirubinemia, hepatic cholestasis, increased liver enzymes, fatal hepatic failure, jaundice, hepatitis (including autoimmune hepatitis), and liver failure.[Ref]
In one reported case, a patient developed rapidly progressing liver failure after four weeks of minocycline therapy for acne. The patient had discontinued the medication two weeks prior to onset of malaise. Liver transplantation was considered, although the patient slowly recovered without significant intervention.
Other reports of immunologically-mediated progressive liver dysfunction have rarely occurred. In one case, a patient received a liver transplant following fulminant hepatic failure which was thought to be related to a 3 year history of daily minocycline therapy to treat acne. The dose of minocycline ranged from 50 mg to 200 mg per day. A second patient had been receiving minocycline therapy to treat acne for 1 year just prior to seeking medical attention for a "flu-like" syndrome. Upon hospitalization, it was determined that the patient was experiencing an autoimmune-mediated hepatitis, most probably related to minocycline. Resolution of symptoms occurred in both of these cases after minocycline therapy was discontinued and each patient had received appropriate supportive medical care.[Ref]
Pulmonary infiltrates, night sweats, fever and eosinophilia have developed in several patients receiving minocycline (the active ingredient contained in Ximino) These effects were also thought to be due to hypersensitivity to minocycline.
Case reports have described a severe central nervous system-pulmonary hypersensitivity syndrome requiring high-dose corticosteroid therapy. Signs and symptoms have included dry cough, fever, ataxia, muscle weakness, numbness, visual abnormalities, abnormal brain MRI, seizures, pulmonary infiltrates, elevated serum IgE and erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and eosinophilia.
Eosinophilic pneumonia with relapsing acute respiratory failure requiring mechanical ventilation and corticosteroids has been reported in a 54-year-old woman. Initial symptoms included dry cough, low-grade fever, fatigue, and dyspnea. Eosinophilia, elevated leukocytes, and C-reactive protein were noted. Fourteen days after being discharged and resuming minocycline, the patient developed rapidly progressive respiratory failure again requiring mechanical ventilation.
Late-onset drug fever (associated with fever, sore throat, abdominal pain, weakness, loose bloody stools, fatigue, 40-pound weight loss, ESR 99 mm/hr, CRP 5.0 mg/dL, and mild increases in liver enzymes) has been reported in a 15-year-old boy after 24 months of minocycline therapy for acne. One other case of late-onset drug fever occurred after 1 year of treatment. Other reported cases of drug fever generally occurred after 2 to 4 weeks of minocycline exposure.[Ref]
Hypersensitivity side effects have included anaphylactoid purpura, anaphylaxis/anaphylactoid reaction (including shock and fatalities), angioneurotic edema, autoimmune vasculitis, drug fever, eosinophilic pneumonitis, erythema multiforme, fixed drug eruptions, hepatitis, lupus-like syndrome, myocarditis, pericarditis, polyarthralgia, pulmonary infiltrates with eosinophilia, rhabdomyolysis, serum sickness, serum sickness-like reactions, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, urticaria, and severe central nervous system-pulmonary hypersensitivity syndrome. Drug rash with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) including fatal cases have been reported. DRESS syndrome with persistent myocarditis has been reported in at least 3 cases. Hypersensitivity syndrome (consisting of cutaneous reaction such as rash or exfoliative dermatitis, eosinophilia, and one or more of the following: hepatitis, pneumonitis, nephritis, myocarditis, and pericarditis) has been reported. Fever and lymphadenopathy may be present with hypersensitivity syndrome. Death has been reported in some cases involving hypersensitivity syndrome.[Ref]
Immunologic side effects have included positive antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) titers, exacerbation of systemic lupus, polyarteritis nodosa, ANCA-positive crescentic glomerulonephritis, ANCA-positive vasculitis, and autoimmune hepatitis. Rare cases of necrotizing vasculitis and systemic reactions have been reported. Lupus-like syndrome (consisting of positive antinuclear antibody; arthralgia, arthritis, joint stiffness, or joint swelling; and one or more of the following: fever, myalgia, hepatitis, rash, and vasculitis) has been reported. Serum sickness-like syndrome (consisting of fever; urticaria or rash; and arthralgia, arthritis, joint stiffness, or joint swelling) has been reported. Eosinophilia may be present with serum sickness-like syndrome. Death has been reported in some cases involving these syndromes.[Ref]
Lupus-like reactions induced by minocycline have commonly presented with arthralgia or arthritis, myalgia or malaise, and positive ANA titer. Patients with highly positive anti-dsDNA antibodies have rarely been reported. All patients have recovered following discontinuation of the drug. However, several have required short courses of corticosteroids.
Rare case reports of additional immunologic side effects have included necrotizing vasculitis and systemic reactions characterized by lymphadenopathy, eosinophilia, increased liver function enzyme levels, and dermatologic involvement. In each case, minocycline was discontinued and in some cases, corticosteroid therapy was necessary to assist in the resolution of symptoms.[Ref]
Dermatologic side effects have included pruritus, alopecia, erythema multiforme, erythema nodosum, exfoliative dermatitis, fixed drug eruptions, maculopapular and erythematous rashes, photosensitivity, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis, lesions on the glans penis, and vasculitis. Brownish or bluish-black pigmentation of the skin, bones, mucous membranes, teeth, tongue, nail beds, and structures of inner organs have also been reported. Minocycline (the active ingredient contained in Ximino) has rarely been associated with Sweet's syndrome (acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis).[Ref]
Biopsies of pigmented tissue have shown granules within the cells which stained positive for iron. This pigmentation may fade over time following drug discontinuation.
There have also been case reports of mucosal pigmentation associated with minocycline use.[Ref]
Severe acute myopathy associated with oral minocycline (the active ingredient contained in Ximino) 100 mg/day occurred in a 17-year-old male after strenuous exercise. His laboratory values were: erythrocyte sedimentation rate, 33 mm/hr; C-reactive protein, 0.84 mg/dL; creatine kinase, 87,297 units/L; AST, 1307 units/L; ALT, 311 units/L; lactate dehydrogenase, 4935 units/L; aldolase 12.6 units/L; alkaline phosphatase, 145 units/L; GGT, 66 units/L. Muscle enzyme levels normalized and his symptoms resolved one month after minocycline was discontinued.
Intravenous minocycline plus quinupristin-dalfopristin were associated with myalgia and arthralgia in 36% of neutropenic cancer patients (n=56).[Ref]
Musculoskeletal side effects have included arthralgia, arthritis, bone discoloration, joint discoloration, joint stiffness, joint swelling, myalgia, myopathy, and hypersensitivity-associated rhabdomyolysis.[Ref]
Renal side effects have included increased BUN, interstitial nephritis, and acute renal failure. High serum levels of tetracyclines have been associated with azotemia, hyperphosphatemia, and acidosis in renally impaired patients.[Ref]
Hematologic side effects have included antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-positive vasculitis, and eosinophilia. Tetracyclines have been associated with hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, neutropenia, agranulocytosis, leukopenia, and pancytopenia.[Ref]
Other side effects associated with tetracyclines have included fatigue, malaise, somnolence, fever, and discoloration of secretions.[Ref]
Respiratory side effects have included hypersensitivity pneumonitis, pulmonary lupus, eosinophilic pneumonia, pleural effusions, and relapsing acute respiratory failure. Tetracyclines have been associated with cough, dyspnea, bronchospasm, pneumonitis, and exacerbation of asthma.[Ref]
Oncologic side effects have included papillary thyroid cancer. Thyroid cancer has also been reported during postmarketing experience.
Endocrine system side effects have included a condition characterized by dark pigmentation (brown-black microscopic discoloration) of the thyroid gland. However, there was no clinical or laboratory evidence of thyroid dysfunction. The clinical implications of this pigmentation are unknown. Abnormal thyroid function has been reported.[Ref]
Genitourinary side effects have included balanitis (due to lesions on the glans penis) and vulvovaginitis. Minocycline (the active ingredient contained in Ximino) may have detrimental effects on spermatogenesis according to preliminary studies.[Ref]
Local side effects have included erythema and pain at the injection site.[Ref]
Psychiatric side effects have included mood alteration.
Ocular side effects have included case reports of gray scleral pigmentation and macular pigmentation in elderly patients after chronic minocycline (the active ingredient contained in Ximino) use (5 to 12 years).[Ref]

Warman's Kickfighting Show #67: Year End Show
- Written by Dave Walsh
It is probably a good thing that we went ahead and recorded this episode of Steven's Kickfighting show last week before he headed out to corner Johny Hendricks at UFC 141 (did you see that knockout?!), because me getting sick is the new hotness. So marvel at this latest episode of the show as Steven and myself run down the best things that went down in 2011 in the worlds of Kickboxing and Muay Thai. There are a lot of categories to run through and we cover it all.
So head on over to Steven's blog to listen, or subscribe on iTunes (Keyword: LordGaul).

The decadent Mardi Gras mask-shaped cookies and sticky-iced King Cake flew in the face of Lenten self-denial at the 5th Annual Leukemia and Lymphoma Society Ball on Saturday night. Although the whole Fat Tuesday themed affair took place a week and a half after this year's Mardi Gras, it was thematic decor void of connotation that effectively transformed the Omar Shrine Temple, a relatively stark venue, into a very pretty party.
Billowing swaths of opaque gauze pinned to the rafters softened the austerity of a styrofoam ceiling. A custom lighting scheme relegated the cinderblock walls to the dark, while illuminating the central bar and silent auction tables. Masks painted in bright shades of purple and gold glinted amid piles of plastic beads in every imaginable color.
The invitation specified black tie optional, and while most gentlemen donned evening wear, the women wore a hit parade of jewel tones—not much black in sight. Long, short, feathered, and hot pink, the dresses were a delicious visual feast (repeat: it was a very pretty party).
There was, however, a serious mission at hand: to raise funds for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Foundation. Like so many others, my life has been profoundly impacted by leukemia, so it was encouraging to see a great turnout for this event. Unlike so many other charity events covered by the Fete Set, this night was populated by fresh faces—Mt. Pleasant residents perhaps?
The silent auction featured some not-so-common items, including a week in a Key West conch house and an original Bulls Bay Bed Swing, and the winning bids helped contribute to the more than $100,000 that is given to patients to help cover transportation and treatment-related expenses.

Feb. 2014 update: This subreddit was created during the 2012 Republican Presidential race to highlight the treatment Ron Paul received from the mainstream media. May it be enshrined as a reference tool for researchers and supporters to refute any claims that Ron Paul was treated fairly during the primaries.
A place to post and collect instances of Ron Paul media black-outs, along with the lies, smears, misrepresentations and bias.
We report because they decided not to.
Only submit posts that reference an instance of the blackout, lies, misrepresentation or bias. This isn't a place to debate Ron Paul's policies or anything else. Think of it as a place to point people to when they ask about Ron Paul's treatment by the media and want to see examples.
When submitting a post, please first name the party responsible in square brackets at the start of the title. This helps icons for the various media companies to display which makes scanning and searching the subreddit easier.
Next describe what happened in your post title. Don't title your posts things like 'It's shit like this' etc.
Lastly, Date your post in square brackets at the end. Not the date you submitted the post, but the date the instance occurred. Use the format [Month day, year]. Eg: [Sep 17, 2012]
This subreddit is configured to only permit self-posts. Please offer as much information as you can about what happened in the text area.
This is more a suggestion but it would be useful to include alternative links to the images and video which show instances of censorship if it's possible in case things get taken down or deleted. If the censorship or misinformation is on a live webpage, it would be best to take a screenshot too.
Commenters, feel free to add alternative links to any instance of censorship in the comments (screen-shots etc).
Any old instances are welcome but please date it them best as you can.
Video Download Helper is a Firefox addon that lets you easily download videos from youtube and elsewhere. Many videos are taken down all the time from youtube. It would be beneficial to download them and upload them elsewhere like liveleak, putlocker, gorillavid etc.
imgur. Don't need to mention this one.

Aviary Screen Capture. Simple, powerful screen capture extension for Chrome and Firefox.
If you find the Aviary extension buggy, here is another screen capture addon called awsome screenshot for chrome.

Some people with liver disease must eat a special diet. This diet helps the liver function and protects it from working too hard.
Proteins normally help the body repair tissue. They also prevent fatty buildup and damage to the liver cells.
In people with badly damaged livers, proteins are not properly processed. Waste products may build up and affect the brain.
Dietary changes for liver disease may involve:
Liver disease can affect the absorption of food and the production of proteins and vitamins. Therefore, your diet may influence your weight, appetite, and the amounts of vitamins in your body. Do not limit protein too much, because it can result in a lack of certain amino acids.
The changes you will need to make will depend on how well your liver is working. Talk to your doctor about the kind diet that is best for you so that you get the right amount of nutrition.
General recommendations for patients with severe liver disease include:
Most of the time you do not have to avoid specific foods.
Talk to your doctor if you have questions about your diet or symptoms.

Its been along time since i've posted.
Times are weird indeed. I've been somewhat of a lull. Motivation has been somewhat escaping me lately and I feel really bad about it (in particular i feel bad about my lack of help on epiphany).
Well on the bright side of things, i've managed to avoid eating out for a week, and expect that there will be lots of free food around for me on campus this week when the college recruiters invade.

text: On the morning of 04/09/08 I killed this turkey in South Georgia on my first ever turkey hunt with the help of my friend Hansell Watt (he is obviously a great guide). Not only did the hunt take less than 20 minutes, the bird had 1 1/4 inch spurs with a 12 1/4 inch beard. But that was not the most interesting fact. When we took this to the taxidermist, he stated that this bird was a rare black phase turkey (NWTF website verifies that this is an actual color phase). He had never seen one of these in all of his years of turkey hunting and taxidermy. I have not seen this coloration or even ever heard of it. The wings on this bird were totally black like a crow with no stripes or coloration. Has anyone ever seen this?

FUN IN THE SUN: "It's beautiful, smelling the shit of 100 bands," Annie Hardy jokes.
Coachella itself underwent a serious change this year. In the past, the festival has amounted to a who's-where assessment of not-quite mainstream music — a launching pad for buzz bands like the Arcade Fire, who were the stars in 2005, or for the re-formation of groups like the Pixies, who helped sell 50,000 tickets and establish the festival as a juggernaut in 2004. This year's edition dabbled in the mainstream through a risky appearance by Madonna, who played her first festival show to a throng of true believers and thousands of disappointed curiosity seekers. When the Red Hot Chili Peppers headlined in 2003, critics complained they were too mainstream; now, the event's promoters admit that no one is too big for Coachella.
But any festival goer knows it's not the top line that counts but what's underneath. And this year's Coachella had its share of breakthrough bands. The Cee-Lo/Danger Mouse collaboration Gnarls Barkley, for one, and My Morning Jacket, who hit the second stage while Kanye West was on the main one. Still farther down the bill were Giant Drag, an LA two-piece whose debut CD, Hearts and Unicorns (Kickball), set the blogger world on fire earlier this year, thanks to everything from the gritty guitars to a glamorous sort of melancholy, not to mention song titles like "Kevin Is Gay" and "You Fuck like My Dad." Waifish indie-rock dreamgirl Annie Hardy took the Coachella stage bra-less and wearing a pleated, barely-thigh-covering plaid skirt and proceeded to stammer off sexual non sequiturs that would make a porn star blush. "I wrote this song when I was eight," she said, dedicating it to her first love. "He broke my heart, and he broke my hymen." Audible gasps from the audience, followed by a gritty interpretation of Chris Isaak's "Wicked Game" — a track that's been added to a 2006 major-label reissue of Hearts and Unicorns (Interscope).

Yamaha CS-10
The CS-10 makes a great electronic, dance and trance musical instrument because it is analog, monophonic, has a really cool filter and is capable of warm bubbly analog bass and lead sounds. Its very simple design and layout with plenty of knobs allows for instant gratification! It has one oscillator and a switchable low-pass, band-pass or hi-pass resonant filter. The LFO can modulate the filter cutoff, volume, pitch and VCO. External audio can also be routed through the filter and there is portamento that stretches for one octave.
Although MIDI-less, the CS-10 does have CV / Gate which can be converted to MIDI using a proper interface, so the CS-10 works quite well both in the studio or for live performance. If you're into techno, dance or electronica then consider the CS-10 an inexpensive but worthy alternative to other more popular mono-synths. It has been used by Depeche Mode, Astral Projection, the Propellerheads and Moa.

Weed to know
It's a bad time to be a Pats fan. First we have to deal with Eli Manning — with that I've-just-been-whacked-with-a-pine-plank look on his face — being America's new media megadarling.
Now there are two straight weed busts for an NFL franchise that has avoided this sort of thing for a long time. Not that there's anything particularly objectionable about the odd weed arrest; frankly, it's an utter waste of taxpayer money to have police searching grown men on the way into concerts for the world's most harmless recreational drug.
And let's face it, there's nothing in the world sillier than the NFL — a league in which most of the players have to pump their bodies full of an astounding array of illegal substances just to maintain their massive physiques, off-the-charts pain tolerances, and pit-bull aggression levels — being concerned with their charges baking out and listening to some tunes.
Enter Kevin Faulk, the uber-valuable running back who was supposed to be the X-factor in the inevitable Patriots Super Bowl win that turned out to be not so inevitable after all. Faulk was nailed February 22 with "four hand-rolled cigars" of marijuana. When he was busted, Faulk was on his way to see a Lil Wayne rap concert in his home state of Louisiana, where he was once arrested in a crowd-scene misunderstanding following the Pats' first Super Bowl victory. Faulk was issued a citation after trying to enter the Cajundome in Lafayette with the blunts.
The Faulk bust comes just weeks after reserve defensive back Willie Andrews was caught in Lowell with three baggies of weed. Andrews was charged with possession and driving an unregistered motor vehicle, just one day after the team returned from the Super Bowl.
There is a dark vibe surrounding the Patriots all of a sudden. Close your eyes, New England. It may get worse from here. In the meantime, one-half point to Faulk — the half-point being for adding to our collective Pats misery this winter.

Weird news from the St. Louis Cardinals, a team that always has more than its fair share of extracurricular oddities. It seems the club has released infielder Scott Spiezio (he of the two World Series rings, with Anaheim in 2002 and the Cards in '06) after details surfaced about an incident that took place on December 30.
Spiezio was in California when he plunged headlong into a doubleheader of sports-crime clichés: a one-car crash, followed by a leaving-the-scene beef. After exiting a Newport Beach bar, Spiezio drove his 2004 BMW into a fence, then jumped out and headed to a friend's nearby condo. According to reports, the friend attempted to clean Spiezio up, but the ballplayer threw up in the guy's room. When the guy commented on the mess, Spiezio allegedly went apeshit, assaulting the man and causing "significant injuries." The whole incident was kept under wraps for some time, and it wasn't until the beginning of spring training that the Cards found out about an arrest warrant and took action.
Spiezio sat out a month this past year to deal with a substance-abuse problem. The Cards were probably somewhat quicker to cut ties with him in the wake of the alcohol-related death of pitcher Josh Hancock in 2007. The DUI arrest of manager Tony LaRussa and the HGH scandal involving famed Yips sufferer/inspirational-comeback story Rick Ankiel probably didn't help.

KPL held our annual staff recognition breakfast last week. The Friends of KPL, our very good friends, provided the breakfast and staff recognition awards.
Three retirees were honored; six high school and college graduates were recognized. Six employees from the 58 nominated by their colleagues or patrons, received "staff recognition awards." It was an impressive group of nominations from appreciative library users.
"Years of service" were also honored: four staff were recognized for 35 years of service! I'm guessing a few of them will make the 40 year mark too!
In addition to recognizing our staff, it was also an opportunity to thank our board of trustees for their dedicated service to the library and the community.

Cargo-Culted Optimisations
In Understanding User and Kernel Mode Jeff Atwood says that code that uses exceptions is slow because "exceptions imply kernel mode transitions". From the ongoing debate in the comments it seems that this may be true for some languages running under .NET that use Window's Structured Exception Handling but it's misleading to state that it's true in the general case.
There are all sorts of reason why exceptions might be slow - they're just more code the CPU has to execute after all. I worry though about general claims that any idiom is slow. Search a selection of programming blogs for "X is slow" and I guarantee that in the comments someone will say "I never knew that. I'm going to avoid X in future". I imagine that after a couple of years of cargo-culting these folks are working with a miniscule subset of their chosen language, circumscribed by all those "slow" things that they're religiously avoiding.
Measure instead of guessing. Look for algorithmic complexity: if you can go from O(N^2) or worse to O(N log N), O(N) or O(1) you might gain far more than a few percent. But then again you might not - so measure.

Stop worrying and learn to love Perl 6
Perl needs Perl 6 and the wider Perl community needs to understand why.
When I first got into computers I worried, briefly, that everything I learnt would inevitably be outmoded. I don't want to scare anyone unduly but there will come a time when Perl 5 is outdated. Slow, ugly, verbose, arbitrary: it will become all of those and worse.
That is the fate of all languages. At least I hope that's the fate of all current languages. These days if I really want to scare myself I need only imagine that the current state of the art is is a good as it ever gets. If that doesn't worry you try to imagine a parallel universe in which our understanding of computers hit a glass ceiling any time in the past fifty years. Imagine COBOL as pinnacle of language design, 64k as a generous helping of memory, punched cards baby! Happy days, certainly, but I'm glad we were able to leave them behind.
As more of the world depends on computers there's a growing force that slows change. The enemy of evolution in language design is the installed user base. In the case of a successful language like Perl millions of people may now be affected by an incompatible language change. The Perl 5 Porters must always balance the needs of the future with those of the past and that places an upper limit of the rate at which Perl 5 can mutate.
What to do? How do you move forward if you're constantly looking over your shoulder? You take advantage of a fortunate property of software: that it is possible to simultaneously care for and conservatively develop the current active branch of a language and forge into the future with a clean new version. Two siblings: the elder healthy, but constrained by responsibilities, the younger relatively free and able to learn from the elder's mistakes without repeating them. Perl 5 and Perl 6.
But Perl 6 is taking too long to mature. More than seven years in embarrassing, right? Not really. Perl wasn't really the Perl we know and love until Perl 5. For the first ten or so years Perl was a lesser language. Sure, the step from Perl 5 to Perl 6 will be bigger than the step from 4 to 5. The jump from 4 to 5 was in its time the biggest seismic shift the Perl world had seen. There's a trend there; the steps are getting bigger all the time. There was no significant dynamic language movement when Perl 1 entered the world. Perl 6 is gestating in a rather different environment.
Perl 5 is not yet decrepit. Rumours of its death greatly exaggerated (or imagined). Perl 6 doesn't yet need to come of age so it makes sense for it to continue to mature in a relatively protected environment. As long as Perl 5 remains viable it's sensible to give Perl 6 the space it needs to grow because when its time comes it's going to face stiff competition from its elder and from Ruby, Python and others.
Rather than impatient foot tapping Perl 6 needs the help and nurture of the Perl community. The Perl 6 development process is transparent and open. Anyone with something useful to contribute will be welcomed. If you self-identify as a Perl person then Perl 6 is in part your responsibility. And if you can't usefully contribute then, please, quietly reflect on the debt of gratitude you owe to those who do. They're working to guarantee your future.
Perl 6 is not a liability. There's no need to be defensive about it. Paul Cory would like to rebrand Perl 6 into the shadows. That's the kind of Stalinist revisionism favoured by corporations that realise that their "next big thing" has become an embarrassing albatross. It's a response to Perl 6 that the circumstances do not require.
Here are his reasons:
1) It emphasises the "inadequacies" of Perl 5.
All languages have inadequacies, imperfections, miss-features, cruft. Perl 5 is no different. Fortunately, instead of brushing them under the rug, the Perl 6 team is actively seeking to right those wrongs. A question: would you rather use a language that's maintained by people who are a) in denial about it's inadequacies or b) actively developing a new language based on recognised shortcomings? I hope that's a rhetorical question.
2) It makes the development community look unorganized, at best. People comparing at the development pace of Python, Ruby and PHP to Perl 6 are likely to come to harsher conclusions about the community's focus, viability and competence, based on Perl 6's seven-year, and counting, gestation period.
Those hypothetical people are wrong and I don't want to be part of a community that panders to their views. The Perl 5 Porters are doing a great job of continuously improving Perl 5 within the constraints that popularity brings. The Perl 6 team are laying the foundations for the next generation of Perl. Perl 5 and Perl 6 have a mutually beneficial relationship: features, tools and ideas are traded freely between the two groups. It's healthy, responsible and creative.
Python and Ruby have, to their credit, somewhat similar splits between far sighted strategic development and tactical improvements to the current language generation. PHP is a bizarre bazaar that does not provide a model other language communities should emulate.
3) It creates uncertainty: what happens to Perl 5 when Perl 6 finally drops? How much new stuff will I have to learn? How will my existing code work, or not, if I upgrade? Why should I invest time in Perl 5 if Perl 6 is just around the corner, and will be far superior?
Learning to deal with an uncertain future comes with the territory of computing. Continual improvement necessarily means that things will change.
Perl 6 is visible proof that we have vision. Perl 5 is visible proof that we can maintain an extremely high quality programming language. These facts combined should give observers confidence about the health of Perl. As a community we certainly need to work to allay fears and calibrate expectations. But let's not start by hiding one of our greatest assets, ok?
4) It creates frustration inside the community. Perl 6 has been "coming soon" for 7.5 years now. It's hard to remain excited about something that long with no payoff.
Welcome to the world of free software. Instead of waiting for Godot we can go and meet him half way; help him carry his load. Let's be explicit here: if Perl is part of your life or career and you're tired of waiting for Perl 6 help make it happen.
You don't have to contribute code to help. Learn more about Perl 6 so you can explain it to others. If you find it hard to learn make it easier for others: write an article that explains some of the important points, give talks, learn so you can teach.
5) The story is confusing: Pugs? Haskell? Parrot? Two development tracks? I thought this was about Perl? Yes, I have an idea of what those things are, but most folks outside the community (and a fair few inside, I'd wager) don't know, don't care, and shouldn't have to.
If the story is confusing we need to tell it more clearly. That doesn't justify changing the underlying technical narrative.
In a commodified world criticism and spending discretion are the consumer's only levers. We crave influence over the things we consume. In the absence of direct influence over a product's design we use criticism as a proxy for control. We hope that they'll make the next version better as a result.
Criticism is still valid in the free software world but it's importance is de-emphasised. You can criticise or you can help. In fact you can criticise and help.
It's important that Perl 6 is not immune from scrutiny but if you're frustrated that it's taking a while then volunteer. The Perl 6 team is small at the moment; small enough that a few well placed contributions can make a real difference. Let's not default to bitching about it when we have the opportunity of contributing to its success.
Why not make 2008 the year you do something for Perl 6?

Leopard, Proxies, PubSubAgent crash
I've just released HTTP::Proxy::GreaseMonkey. It's an HTTP proxy that allows (some) GreaseMonkey scripts to be used in any browser - not just FireFox. I wrote it so I could use my GreaseMonkey search.cpan.org enhancer with Safari.
After installing the proxy and telling Safari (and everything else on the machine) to use it I started to experience
PubSubAgent crashes every twenty minutes or so. It turns out that
PubSubAgent is responsible for .mac synchronisation - and it doesn't like proxies. You can read more about the problem here.
The solution suggested on that thread - to add .mac.com to the proxy bypass list - is heading in the right direction but isn't quite correct. Instead you must add
*.mac.com to the proxy bypass.

CPAN v DTD (spoiler: CPAN loses)
I need to parse a DTD. Specifically I need to parse this DTD:
It's quite a well known one. Certainly there'll be a module on CPAN that can parse it. Let's have a look.
Looks promising, comprehensive. Unfortunately it fails with an error which is eventually tracked to a misspelled method name. So much for test coverage. Fix that and it throws a bunch of warnings that cause a rapid loss of confidence. No matter, let's try…
It's a "quick and dirty DTD parser". Hmm. "I'm too lazy to document
the structure". Nice.
"Since version 1.6 this module supports my "extensions" to DTDs. If the DTD contains a comment in form…"
Maybe I'll come back to XML::DTDParser…
SGML? That's got to be good, right? SGML is the daddy. Every fule no that. Unfortunately it doesn't really seem to have much of a Perl interface. It's all about translating DTDs to XML. I might be able to use that. I'm getting desperate.
I'll take a quick look at the test suite for a confidence boost. Here's one:
# Before `make install' is performed this script should be # `make test'. After `make install' it should work as `perl ######################### # change 'tests => 1' to 'tests => last_test_to_print'; use Test::More tests => 1; BEGIN { use_ok('SGML::DTDParse') }; ######################### # Insert your test code below, the Test::More module is use # its man page ( perldoc Test::More ) for help writing this
(I've cut the right hand side of the test off so it fits my stupid page layout. Don't worry - you're not missing anything good)
The other test is pretty similar. I'm not that confident now.
Running out of options. Let's look at XML::ParseDTD. From the documentation it appears to rock. The test results say "2 PASS, 2 FAIL". 50/50. So at least it's got some tests, right? Damn right! Here they are in their entirety:
#!/usr/bin/env perl -w use strict; use Test::Simple tests => 2; use XML::ParseDTD; my $dtd = new XML::ParseDTD('http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/D ok( defined $dtd, 'new() returned something' ); ok( $dtd->isa('XML::ParseDTD'), 'it's the right class' );
(Again I've cut the right hand side of the test off. Again you're not missing anything good)
I'm momentarily impressed that it managed to score two failures with that. I'm about to find out how.
Never mind, the DTD URI in the test looks a lot like the DTD I need to parse. I'm getting close. I can feel it.
Unfortunately it has a dependency on Cache::SharedMemoryCache (why?) which in turn depends on IPC::ShareLite - which doesn't install on my PowerBook. So now I need to fix / avoid IPC::ShareLite.
See kids: the great thing about CPAN is how much time it saves!
iTunes 9006 error?

Please contact the winery for further recommendations.
Blend: 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Pettit Verdot, 3% Merlot
Produced: 2200 Cases
Alcohol: 14.1%
Barrels: 100% French Oak (60% new)
Cellaring: 20 Years
The 2000, Seavey Vineyard's eleventh estate produced Cabernet is a blend of 87% Cabernet, 10% Petit Verdot and 3% Merlot grapes harvested during the month of October from several different locations of the south-facing hillside vineyard. As Robert Parker noted, 2002 was"a challenging year, particularly for Cabernet Sauvignon producers, this vintage's cool growing season was complicated by unusual amounts of rain…Many rushed to harvest in order to save the grapes…the finest wines have come from those who waited…Some terrific wines can be found." At Seavey Vineyard we were among those who waited to pick until our grapes had reached optimum ripeness and complexity.
"Complex nose melds black raspberry, dark chocolate, licorice, roasted meat, and sexy oak notes. Fat and sweet in the middle, with warm flavors of plum…suggests almost roasted ripeness, yet shows very good flavor definition. Finishes with horizontal, fine tannins and lovely persistence. A very successful 2000 from an area, (Conn Valley), in which the fruit obviously ripened well." Rating: 92, Stephen Tanzer, International Wine Cellar, June 2003
"…A powerful, strong effort for this challenging vintage, it exhibits an opaque purple color as well as a tight but promising bouquet of earth, crème de cassis, wood, forest floor, and licorice aromas. This is a big, deep, chewy atypically authoritative 2000 that will benefit from 5-6 years of cellaring, and keep for 15-20. It may be one of the longest lived Cabernets of the vintage. Kudos to Seavey for this accomplishment." Rating 91+, Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate, Dec. 2003
Harvested at 24.5% degrees brix, the yields were 2 tons/acre, up from 1.5 tons the previous year, but still quite low. Winemaking style followed classic Bordeaux methods. The juice remained in contact with the skins for an average of 21 days, and, following malolactic fermentation, was aged in French oak barrels (60% new oak) until bottling on May 23-24, 2002.

The new Erzgebirge-Vogtland Ridge Trail offers unspoilt countryside, traditional crafts and mining as it follows the ridge of the Erzgebirge mountains along the Czech border. Lace up those walking boots and get away from it all!
The low-lying Erzgebirge mountains form a natural barrier between the German state of Saxony and Bohemia in the Czech Republic. The German/Czech border runs just north of the ridge. Starting in Altenberg-Geising in the eastern Erzgebirge mountains, the Erzgebirge-Vogtland Ridge Trail traverses the Vogtland region and ends in Blankenstein, Thuringia. Inspired by the historical ridge trail, which opened in 1904 and mainly followed a course through the Czech part of the Erzgebirge mountains, the new version of the route opened in May 2011. Walkers can look forward to a challenging trail over the highest peaks in the Erzgebirge mountains and Vogtland region, including Mount Auersberg (1,019m), Mount Fichtelberg (1,215m) and the Schneckenstein (883m), a topaz outcrop. Fabulous views of unspoilt nature are available from the mountain ridge between Saxony and Bohemia. The Erzgebirge mountains are known for their traditional crafts. Arched candle holders originally lit up windows all year round so that the miners could find their way home. They are now particularly popular at Christmas time. Many craft workshops where the ornately carved decorations are still made can be found along the Erzgebirge-Vogtland Ridge Trail. The walk also passes reminders of the region's mining heritage, including a number of tunnels and pits that are open to the public.

At the beginning of this year I determined that I was going to try to make this the year that my oldest daughter (9 years old) was going to begin hunting deer (with her being the shooter).
The preparations of course involved a good amount of practice and also dry firing in the backyard. I bought a 2 man ladder stand from Family Traditions but she is so short that I had to make some modifications for her to be able to comfortably hunt and shoot out of it. I bought a used semi-auto .243 because she didn't like the recoil in a bolt action .243 and I also researched and found what I believed to be a good bullet that only weighed 80 grains (reducing recoil vs. the customary 100 grains in a .243).
We didn't hunt this stand last weekend or Saturday this weekend because the wind was all wrong. Today the wind was much more favorable so after church we headed to the woods. We climbed up and I fastened her safety belt to the tree and zipped up the camo skirt on the stand and immediately I heard a deer walking. I looked up and saw the sunlight shining off antlers. A buck was walking from our left to right at a steady pace.
I helped her get her rifle on the shooting rail and she was telling me that she couldn't see him clearly. I pointed out that after he passed a certain tree she would have a more open shot. When he passed that tree he paused and she let him have it. I had no idea she was already on him so quickly. At the shot he lurched forward and began running on 3 legs, with his right front leg just held sorta stiff. I've seen that sight before and knew how that was going to end. I told her she got him as I watched him run off. He went maybe 50-75 yards before disappearing behind some trees and we heard him crash. I knew if he kept running or got back up we would have seen glimpses of him moving through the swamp so I knew it was over. It was about 3:35 PM and if we had arrived just a couple of minutes later we never would have seen that deer...or maybe just his "flag."
I only intended to let her shoot out to about 30 yards and thought he was only about 50-60 yards out but after looking for the place where he was standing and ranging back to the stand I think it was 75-80 yards and she made a great shot. When I dressed him the top of his heart was damaged. I don't know if it was from the bullet or bone fragments as the bullet holes (she got an exit hole too) looked a little high for that (mid way up the body).
She was really excited and I couldn't be prouder of her and the shot she made under less than ideal circumstances. His live weight was 150 lbs. He would have been a 5 pointer but broke off his only brow tine in velvet (guessing that because it is a "smooth" break) and one G-2 after shedding his velvet. He also has a couple of short points coming off the back of one main beam, but I don't think you can count them, so he's a 3 pointer.
I had a whole backpack of gear and never even unzipped the pack. I was going to set up a video camera to film (hopefully) her first kill but obviously didn't have time. Oh well, maybe next time!

|Pacific Northwest Sea Run Forum No such thing as rainbow trout, only landlocked steelhead
|Topic Review (Newest First)
RE:March Meeting of the WSC
The address listed above is in error. The correct address is 19213 Bothell Way NE. It is the large white chalet style building just north of downtown Bothell. Sorry for the bad information.
March Meeting of the WSC
For those who have not heard the March meeting of the Wild Steelhead Coalition will be taking place this Wednsday at 7 p.m.
On March 7th at 7:00 PM, you are invited to join other concerned citizens in working to preserve our wild steelhead runs for the future.
Two speakers will be featured.
1. Curt Kraemer (Washington Department of Fish Wildlife) will provide a case study on Skagit River steelhead (past, present and future). Kreamer is a well known, respected, and knowledgeable fisheries biologist. This presentation should be both educational and interesting.

SMITHVILLE – Family and friends gathered Saturday to remember a tornado that ripped through town two years ago and to celebrate survival.
The second annual Smithville Memorial Day was held April 27, the same date two years ago that an EF5 tornado roared through, killing 16 and destroying 197 homes and businesses.
A community prayer service also was held on Friday night and the Smithville school was open for a visit.
"It was an awesome sight seeing that bright and shining star we have in the schools on that hill," said Mayor Gregg Kennedy.
Kennedy said the second annual memorial day was a time to look back on the ones Smithville had lost and to look to Smithville's future.
Two Community Hero Awards were presented at a memorial service. One was to Tim Coker for his dedicated sacrifice to the Smithville Fire Department and the community. The second was to 9-year-old Gabriel Estis.
"I have never met a young man who is as proud to be from Smithville," Kennedy said. "He will help wherever he is needed. He helped plant the flower bulbs and he mows the yards of his neighbors. He also lost both of his grandparents in the tornado."
Special guest speaker of the event was Mississippi Speaker of the House Phillip Gunn.
"The people of Smithville have been an inspiration to the state, our nation and the world," said Gunn. "When a catastrophe happens, people watch how people respond, how they overcome adversity.
"Smithville has fought to overcome hardship that came your way. I am proud of how you have rebuilt and are rebuilding this town. The tragedy did not break you."
Other dignitaries at Smithville Memorial Day were U.S. Sen. Roger Wicker of Tupelo, state Sen. Hob Bryan of Amory, and state Reps. Donnie Bell and Chris Brown.
"We were knocked down, but we got back up," Kennedy said. "We are rebuilding our town by working together. The city is better prepared today for emergencies."

Focus on Funds
According to Bloomberg, hedge funds continued last week to raise their wagers on a gold rally as speculation that the Federal Reserve will hold off on curbing stimulus has reinvogerated faith in the battered metal.
Bloomberg writes that fund managers increased their net-long position by 26% to 70,067 futures and options as of July 23, based on data from the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission.
The fourth consecutive weekly gain in the long position is the longest streak since October, Bloomberg states.
Gold futures rose 8.6% in July, heading for the largest monthly gain since January 2012, as Fed Chairman Ben S. Bernanke damped speculation that a cut in bond purchases is imminent. Gold investors tend to view the Fed's easy money policy as inflationary and thus favorble for the metal.
Last week, gold climbed 2.2% to $1,321.90 an ounce on the Comex in New York, the third consecutive gain.
But while many hedge funds are betting on a rally, Goldman Sachs is betting that gold's July rally is temporary, Bloomberg reports. Jeffrey Currie, Goldman's head of commodity research, wrote last week that gold prices will decline decline as the U.S. economy improves, prompting a reining in of the Fed's easy-money policy.
Meanwhile, shares of the SPDR Gold Trust (GLD), the most popular way to invest in gold, is down 0.28% in midday trading Monday.
