Long story short: I work as a cashier, super cute girl comes through my till with her parents, her parents begin talking to my female co-worker who was working at the till next to me. So i figure they know each other. They leave, and I ask her if she knows the girl. She says yes. I say she was one of the most beautiful people I've seen. She says she can hook me up with her if I wanted. I say HELL YES.
This all happened about 2 weeks ago. Yesterday I go into work and she says she talked to the girl, told her I was an artist that I thought she was super pretty etc and that the girl told her to tell me that next time I see her to say hi and then we can chat and maybe go for coffee or whatever.
SO. My predicament. A: I have to somehow bump into this girl randomly, I know she lives near me but she goes to a different college and I've litterally only seen her twice. One time I saw her at the bus stop in the early morning... but just once.
I have no idea how I'm going to find her. but you guys can't really help with that.
IF I do find her: What do I say?? My plan was simply to say, "hi, my name's Mike, I believe a mutual friend told you about me?" yada yada but beyond that I'm clueless.
QUESTION: what are some basic do's and don't's? How should I act? Do I want to be really flirty or what?
help me

This is awesome! Reminds me of my own situation similar to this! But hmm, you like have to find her? Your co-worker couldn't just give you her number or something? I guess if that's the case then your best bet is to wait at the bus stop for her. I mean, she probably goes to the stop with regularity, it's highly unlikely that she would never ever go to that bus stop again. She was probably heading to school, you know? I'd say be casual. Don't do anything outside of your personality but also don't be meek or too shy, after all she did already express interest just by telling her friend that she'd like to talk to you, it's not like she blew you off completely. Don't mention how you searched for her though haha. Good luck man. I'd like to know the outcome of this date!

Already happened. Gave my number to a friend of hers. Went out for coffee. Now I'm just trying to find some time to hang out with her again. THough I'm not 100% sure she wants to. I'll have to keep prodding

How long ago did you see her? Have you texted her since? A lot of girls I know get super paranoid about texting activity or lack thereof. It doesn't help that most guys signal that they are no longer interested by never speaking to us again, so sometimes not hearing from a guy we've gone out with after a day or two can make us start to think this is what he's doing. I am apparently very liberal when it comes to how long I will tolerate waiting to hear back from a guy; I've recently made many more female friends than I used to have, and they freak out and even get angry if a guy doesn't text them back within a few hours or so.
Oh, and that's the thing you need to be aware of: First it's "I guess he's busy right now," then it's "Omg he's ignoring my text he must think I'm a loser, boo hoo he doesn't like me," then it's "HOW DARE THAT ASSHOLE IGNORE ME LIKE THIS. FUCK HIM FOR NOT LIKING ME, I HOPE HE ROTS IN HELL." Then sometime after that is probably when you realize you have a text on your phone that you haven't opened yet.
The best thing to do would be to text a girl the day after you've gone out with her and say, "Hey, I had a lot of fun last night! Are you doing anything next weekend?" If it's already been a few days, don't worry yet and just replace "last night" with "the other day" or whatever.
Or, if there's anything you two talked about on your date that would make sense to follow up on, like talking about a funny YouTube video or commercial she hasn't seen, or an article you've read that she hadn't, or a movie that she hasn't heard about yet, or a band she's not familiar with, link her to whatever it was you were trying to describe to her. Don't send a novel of text with it, just "this is that ___ I was talking about: [link]"

Well, we had coffee and walked home together. Then I didn't text her till this weekend, asking what she was up to, she promptly replied she's working saturday and sunday. I asked if she had any last minute shopping to do on christmas eve, she, again, promptly replied luckily she got it all done (I was looking to see if she'd join me in this last minute shopping) Then I asked what she was doing boxing day (today) she said she's going up to her cabin.
I'm thinking of asking if she'd like to meet up again soon, when she gets back. But slant the message toward really asking if she'd like to see me again. Cause I haven't seen her since last monday... I know this weekend has been busy and it's christmas and all so I haven't had the thought that she's avoiding me or anything. And like I said she responded almost immediately after I texted her and they had a light hearted tone to them.
(I feel like such a tool over-analyzing every little thing like this but if you could provide your advice that'd be swell)

Try asking what she's doing for New Year's. Everyone parties on New Year's, right?
If she says nothing or that she doesn't know yet, invite her to your plans. If she says she's doing something, ask if she wants to meet up with you and yours for a while. If she invites you to her plans, go. Or tell her you're already partying with your friends but would love to meet up after.

what if i'm a bum and don't have any plans?
She doesn't seem to be the partying type either. I work with a number of her friends and they are all pretty straight laced. From what I gather she is too.
Do you think it would be weird to hang out on new years for a second date?
Featured By Owner

You should make plans... I wouldn't really want to date anyone who didn't have any friends. They would get clingy.
What does being straight laced have to do with partying? Straight laced people don't get together and celebrate New Year's? "Partying" doesn't have to mean keg stands, lines of coke, and body shots off hookers. I had plenty of non-alcoholic parties when I was younger.
I don't see it as weird unless you're like "we have to MAKE OUT at midnight" or "this means we're going to be together all year, LOL." If I was making a new friend and had a party coming up I'd invite them so I don't see why it has to be weird. Just have fun hanging out and don't be super coupley. Frankly if I was talking to a guy and found out he went to a New Year's party and didn't think to invite me I'd assume he was just setting me up to be a booty call and that's why he doesn't want me to meet his friends. Or that he's seeing other girls (or wants to be) and didn't want me to cramp his style and prevent him from hooking up with someone else on New Year's. Or didn't want me to meet his friends because he's playing multiple girls and doesn't want his friends to know about it.
But if you wouldn't feel comfortable then don't. The hell do I know.

Microsoft's giving Xbox Live gamers the chance to map out their purchasing schedule for the next month. This week, the publisher announced the full details of its March Xbox Live Arcade Block Party promotion, as well as pegged the release lineup for Games on Demand through next week.
The Xbox Live bonanza begins tomorrow with the arrival of Pieces Interactive's Fret Nice for 1,200 Microsoft points ($15). The rhythm-based 2D platformer received an underwhelming critical reception upon its launch for the PlayStation 3 earlier this month. W! Games' online strategy game Greed Corp and Sarbakan's puzzle-platformer Lazy Raiders join Fret Nice on Microsoft's virtual arcade this week. Both clock in at the MSP 800 ($10) price point.
In March, Microsoft will begin its Xbox Live Arcade Block Party promotion. The initiative kicks off on March 3 with Signal Studios' World War I-themed tower defense game Toy Soldiers for MSP 1,200 ($15), continuing with Slick Entertainment's car-combat racer Scrap Metal on March 10 for the same price. 4J Studios' update of venerated Nintendo 64 shooter Perfect Dark follows on March 17 for MSP 800 ($10).
Microsoft will close out the month with the release of Game Room, a free download that will serve as a hub for the publisher's retro gaming push. Thirty Atari and Intellevision games will be available at launch, and Microsoft has said that more than 1,000 titles are on the docket.
Games can be purchased for play on both the Xbox 360 and PC for MSP 400 ($5) or for an individual platform at MSP 240 ($3) apiece. Single rounds of any individual game can be played for MSP 40 ($.50). The Game Room will also support Xbox Live Avatars, as well as voice chat, 1080p graphics, cross-platform leaderboards, and achievements.
Gamers who pick up all three Block Party titles and the free Game Room hub will have MSP 400 ($5) credited to their Xbox Live account. Those who subscribe to Xbox Live's Gold membership will also have their subscription extended by one month.
As for Games on Demand, Disney and Black Rock Studio's Pure is available today for $19.99. The off-road trick racer received solid reviews upon its debut in September 2008. On March 2, Microsoft has queued up Bethesda Softworks' acclaimed postapocalyptic role-playing shooter Fallout 3. However, pricing information is not yet available.

You can't stop this train! The PBS Kids/Jim Henson Company hit series Dinosaur Train will premiere a one-hour special, Nature Trackers Adventure Camp on Monday, Jan. 20 (check tvguide.com listings), featuring four all-new, action-packed stories that teach kids about ecosystems, erosion, tree lines and rainforests.

Driscoll mayor takes over police chief duties for now
Driscoll Mayor Mike Perez will lead the city's two-man police force until a new chief can be hired, the City Commission decided Tuesday.
Perez takes on administrative duties after the three-member commission demoted Chief Ben Zapata Nov. 20. Zapata, who was chief for five and a half years, will remain one of two officers on the force as well as a drug dog handler.
Marcos Zavala and John Aguilar, the two commissioners who voted last month to demote Zapata, said he did not work well with new city leaders. Perez voted against the move. Zapata called the demotion political.
The vote left Driscoll's police force without a leader for three weeks. The state requires the commission to appoint an administrator as the town searches for a chief.
The administrator does not need to meet any law enforcement requirements.

Al-Mustaqbal, a reputable Lebanese newspaper reports that Iran played a key role in capture of Saddam by promising to collaborate with him and then have his envoy monitored by Kurds in the area to finally find his hiding place.
This may be just another hoax or may explain the sudden softening of W's stand towards the Iranian regime over the past month or so. It's probably one of those questions that will never be fully explained.
Meanwhile, I'm glad the situation surrounding his capture was so safe and calm with no worries of any intruption by forces loyal to him that shortly after he was taken out of his "hole" and is still on the ground with cuffs on, U.S. soldiers find it appropriate to snap souvenir pictures (link may be down due to high traffic, try later).
I say capture, but we all know... We Always Had Him.Posted by Pedram at January 13, 2004 09:44 PM
Have heard a similiar story from some Iraqi Kurds, without the Iranian connection. Kurds did announce capture hours before US.Posted by: Jane at January 14, 2004 05:25 AM
Even Finland announced it before the US, but I assure you Finns did not have him. This flash presentation was really interesting. The twist in the story where Saddam's only good deed is the invasion of Kuwait was quite surprising. Well done!Posted by: pp at January 15, 2004 07:56 AM

Eight people, including a teenager, have been taken to hospital after a freak lightning strike at the bustling Venice Beach in the United States, the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) said. LAFD spokeswoman, Katherine Main, told the AFP news agency that one of the individuals was in a grave condition following the afternoon incident, while another was considered critical. The status of the remaining six was listed as fair. Seven of those taken to hospital were adults while the eighth was a 15-year-old, Main said. She did not comment on their current conditions. The LAFD assessed an additional five people at the beach who did not need hospital care, she said. The rare incident happened while there were isolated thunderstorms in the area. Witnesses speaking to the Los Angeles Times newspaper described scenes of panic as the sky darkened and lightning erupted shortly thereafter, accompanied by thunder and rain. "You could hear everybody screaming," Angelica Roquemore told the newspaper. Roger Davis was quoted by the publication as saying that his house shook and that he heard explosions. When he ran outside, his neighbour - a doctor - was trying to revive a victim, he told the paper.

My research focuses on Irish immigration to North America and the ways in which immigrants articulate multiple identities and how those identities intersect with larger historical processes like nationalism, class and gender. I specifically examine the colonial and revolutionary periods when Quebec was a locus for the migration flow from Great Britain to Canada and the American colonies. A refuge for Scots-Irish immigrants and revolutionary loyalists, the Eastern Townships of Quebec on the U.S./Canada border, fostered the development of a unique Irish ethnic identity.

Burglars swipe mower from Torrington cemetery
TORRINGTON -- The caretakers of one of the city's oldest cemeteries have lost their lawn mower.
Fletcher Waldron, who volunteers at Center Cemetery, said burglars broke into a shed on in the 10-acre property sometime last week and took off with their Ferris riding lawn mower.

Hello, World Pulse!
- Comments (11)
- Recommended (2)
- View profile
I joined World Pulse nearly four years ago and have read the newsletters all this time, rejoicing quietly as this community has grown and become more powerful every day. At that time my family was struggling desperately, and my business as a freelance web designer was just getting off the ground. I'm an artist by nature, and originally taught myself how to makes websites for family endeavors. It became a business when the community of artists (mostly women) in my area let me know they had no one they could trust to help them with their websites. I've worked hard to establish a good reputation and increase my skills and confidence. As a result, I have more friends than ever, women who love and trust me, and whose work I love and value very deeply. Slowly but surely, despite some terrifying setbacks and thanks to the help of my husband and son, two beautifully creative but unemployed men who have stepped into traditionally "female" roles like cooking and doing laundry so I can get in more work time, our situation has gradually been improving.
I'm still pressed for time outside work so I can revisit my true loves - painting and writing - and I need to keep my path straight to accomplish more important family goals, but I can see that things are changing. I'm so grateful for all of my family, which also includes two grown daughters with their own children. This in itself makes my life so different than I ever thought it would be. I never had any children of my own, all my kids are my husband's children. I am blessed that they are happy to accept me as a mom, and the love and encouragement that we girls, all three very busy ladies who all support our families, share with each other is so deep and so meaningful that sometimes tears come to my eyes when I think about how they have fulfilled an empty part of myself I didn't know was there.
About two years ago we got a call from one of our daughters. I answered the phone, so I was the one who was first to hear that she, a married woman with two young boys, had spent Mother's Day in a shelter for abused women because her husband had threatened to kill her. She was trying so hard to be strong, but I could hear the fear in her voice. It was the same fear I had heard in my mother's voice when her second marriage turned violent. It wasn't so much that she was afraid to die. She was afraid she would lose the God she loved so dearly if she attempted to escape. I told her what I told my mother, which was that no one could ever convince me that God would rather see her die at the hands of her husband than break her marriage vows. That incident began a two year odyssey during which she struggled all the way to freedom. Not just freedom from an abusive marriage, from the deceitful religiosity preached by self-serving men that had been a large part of what had trapped her in her marriage, and from fear itself.
Since we didn't live near her and didn't have the funds to travel and stay close, there was a lot I couldn't do to help, but I listened whenever she called, encouraged her in every way I could, rejoiced with her in the little victories along the way and groaned with her at the setbacks, and never stopped praying for her safety and eventual release from the hell in which she was living. Still, nothing I did was as powerful as what she did for herself. She utterly depended on God, going to him for everything she needed from personal encouragement to legal fees, and God never failed her. Her relationship with the One who strengthened her, who did miracles and more for her, became so strong and beautiful that before she could see the light at the end of the tunnel herself, she was already helping other women in the same situation. She did eventually make it all the way through to freedom, and along the way she found God to be someone different, and so much more loving, concerned and always there for her, than she had ever been led to believe before.
I'm writing today because my daughter just joined the World Pulse community. With one journal entry much more brief, better worded and powerful than my own, she earned her first badge in days and caught the attention of the community. She has written a book about her journey from abuse to freedom and is searching for a publisher, and is also writing a blog which brings tears of relief and hope to everyone I know who's read it. I just wanted to let everyone know how very proud of her I am, and how much I believe her writings will help other women ensnared by religious, cultural and patriarchal beliefs in abusive, even life-threatening marriages as she was. I hope you will visit her blog at http://www.jenniferfaith.org and see for yourself how "no one speaks for her, she speaks for herself," and how you or someone you love can be set free as she was from a life of fear and abuse. You can search for Jennifer Faith or go to http://worldpulse.com/user/22187 to connect with her, read what she writes on her page and share your own experiences. She is devoted to helping other women to make her own experiences count. She will listen, she might have practical advice to help you, and she will pray that you will make it to safety as she did.
Journal entries
Reading the journal entries at this forum motivate one to be stronger as I get to know how other women are living in other parts of the world and further understand to reinforce the thinking that the women movement should be a continuous effort globally as the job never ends for generations...to remind that it can never be a finished job to ensure more and continuous equality so that any improvements at anywhere will not be reversed into past situations. For example, in Afghanistan. Such movement has to be a global one that can get the attention of global and local women groups and also other non-governmental organisations which can lobby for the cause and to spread the word together, to raise awareness. Women will then know that we are not alone in such efforts and beliefs. Unity for a common belief so that we are taken seriously for our cause.
Beloved Hanasazi,I can't tell
Beloved Hanasazi,I can't tell you enough how powerful it is that u stand as a pillar to your daughter! I will like to connect with her.
Much love
You make me cry happy tears
Dear Hanasazi (or mom as I so affectionately call you),
You are such a blessing to me. Thank you so much for sharing my story here and for all of the faithful love, support, encouragement and active listening you provide. You are wise, anointed and favored and I am so very blessed to have you, dad and Joel in my life. I literally could have not made it through my harrowing escape without you. I can't wait to see what God is going to do next and you are a big part of why I am still alive - not only alive - but thriving and healed.
All my love,
Thank you Hanasazi for your post. I have only recently joined worldpulse and I am still not sure how it works but I have had my first friend request from a woman who seems very caring and strong and your post is the second one I've read. It is very moving and strengthening and I will read Jennifer's story. I admit that my feelings about religion are about the same as your description of Jennifer's early experience. I don't have the faith that she has and it is almost humbling. I thank you very much for your post and also for leading me to Jennifer's story. I look forward to keeping up with both of you here.
Well done Super Mum
Your words are full of so much faith, energy, influence, passion, support and hope. You embody and exemplify all these and much more. Now I just can't find any reason not to believe that you are a Super mum! I imagine how that I identified you as a super mum long before I came across this super piece. Jennifer and your entire family are so blessed to have you in their lives. I bet we are too in this community.
You are one mum too many!
Very high regards,

Concurrent Data Structures in C++: Web crawler lab
CSinParallel Project
The goals for this lab are:
complete and test a web crawler application, which fetches web pages then visits the links contained in those web pages, using STL containers;
experiment with an example of threads programming, a type of multicore parallel programming;
to complete a correct multi-threaded web crawler application that uses TBB containers.
Note: The work on this lab requires a "tarball" named
cds.tar.gz , which is located on the Manycore Testing Lab
Note to Workshop 34 participants:
The tarball
cds.tar.gz is an incomplete version for
students, to be completed as part of the lab exercise.
For the workshop, we have created a second tarball for professors
cds_all.tar.gz which is complete, which we would
not provide to students.
Also, the steps below may be carried out on MTL or on your own computer. Packages needed to run both of these Concurrent Data Structures labs on your own computer:
C++ compiler
Standard Template Library STL
CURL library for web access
Boost library, for threads and mutexes
Intel's Threading Building Blocks (TBB)
Make program
The first version of the web crawler program is located in a
serial .
This is a sequential program, which is uses only one
processing element as it carries out its work. (The alternative is
a parallel program, which can use multiple cores and/or
computers to do multiple computations physically at the same time.)
Copy the tarball into your directory as follows.
% scp firstname.lastname@example.com:../
Note: This command is for a Linux or Macintosh terminal
window. Do not enter the character
cds.tar.gz .
% --
it represents the command prompt.
NN is the number assigned to you for
accessing MTL.
This command will prompt you for the password for your MTL account
sigc-sNN. On Windows, use your SCP client
(such as WinSCP) to perform the copy.
Then, unpack the tarball as follows:
% tar xfz
On Windows, use a utility such as 7-Zip to unpack the
This will create a directory
cds that contains the
code. Change to that directory.
% cd cds
The directory
contains several subdirectories, and is organized
in a structure suitable for a software project that is capable
of growing very large.
Examine the code for this program. Observe the following:
The source files (
.cpp implementation and driver
modules) are contained in a
subdirectory named
src, and the header files (interface
modules) are named with
and are stored in a subdirectory named
Some of the state variables in classes within
serial are STL containers, as described in a class handout.
Three classes are defined:
spider is the main class, with methods for
crawling from page to page and for processing each page, and state
variables for recording the work to be done (i.e., web addresses or
URLs of pages to visit), the finished work (URLs already
processes), and a
vector of
page objects.
page contains state variables for the URL of a
particular web page (as a
string) and a
vector of URLs found
in that web page (which are candidates for future
page also contains a method for scanning a
web page and filling that
vector with URLs that are
contained in that page.
raw_page has helper methods for fetching pages
from the web and for delivering the HTML code from a fetched web page.
The main program is in the file
spider_driver.cpp. It obtains two values from the
command line, namely the starting URL to crawl from, and the maximum number of
URLs to visit (which must be parsed from a string to an
integer). Then, the program performs the crawl and prints results.
Makefile uses
make variables to
make it easier to change items such as compilation flags. Source files
in the
src subdirectory are compiled to produce object
.o) files in the
build subdirectory, and
those object files are linked to creat an executable named
DO THIS: Write down other observations or comments
about the
serial code. Feel free
to include opinions you may have about the code or its organization.
Comments in
spider.cpp indicate that two parts of
the code need to be filled in for the crawler program to work. Before
actually fillin that code in, we will see if we can compile and run the
code successfully.
First, insert output statements in those two locations, to indicate whether those sections of the code are reached. One message might state "processing the page x" where x is the URL of the page being processed, and the other might state "crawling the page x".
cd to the
serial directory, and
issue a
make command in that directory
serial. This should compile the code and create an
Now fill in the missing code for the
spider::crawl() method. Notes:
You will have to use appropriate methods for fetching a web
page, processing that page, and adding that page to the finished
queue, then adding 1 to the variable named
Note: The method for fetching requires a C-style string
(null-terminated array of characters) for its argument, but the URL
you are crawling
is stored in a
string object. Use the online
documentation for
string to look for a method of
string that returns a C-style string with the same
characters as that
string object.
Do you get the expected output, given that
spider::process() is still only printing a message?
Finally, complete the implementation of the
spider::process() method, compile, and test.
The method
spider::is_image() currently always
false. In a more sophisticated crawler, this
method could examine file extensions in order to determine whether a
URL is an image (no need to crawl) or not.
A thread is a separate sequence of instruction execution within a program. Different threads may run on different cores of a multi-core computer; if there are more threads than cores, those threads are scheduled in turns while that program runs.
This section of the lab introduces thread programming with
boost threads, a version of which are part of the
new C++11 standard.
Change directory to the
cds/threads directory
within your
lab1 directory.
% cd ~/lab1/cds/threads
First, look at the sequential program
in that directory. It computes a table of primes up to a maximum
number, then counts the number of primes produced.
primes.cpp does not use threads, but is an
ordinary program with multiple loops.
Then, compile and run the program, using the Makefile provided
make primes). Feel free to experiment. Note: Be prepared to wait...
Now, examine the multi-threaded program
threads/primes2.cpp. This program uses the same algorithm
for determining primes, but it divides the range 2..
up into
threadct non-overlapping subranges or "chunks",
and has a separate
boost thread determine the primes
within each chunk. Observe the following:
The loop for determining primes from 2 to
which was located in
main() in the program
primes.cpp, has been relocated to a separate function
work(). That function has two arguments
max, and the loop has been modified to check only the
max instead of the entire
range 2..
Each thread will execute
work() as if it were a "main
program" for that thread.
pool is an array of pointers to
boost thread is initialized with a unique
subrange of 2..
MAX. Threads other than the first and the
last receive subranges of length
segsize. The first and
last subranges are treated specially, to insure that the complete computation
covers exactly the range 2..
To construct a
boost thread running
work() with arguments
a and
the following constructor call would be used:
thread(boost::bind(work, a, b))
The call above constructs a thread, but that thread doesn't
begin executing until its
join() method is called. Thus,
there is a separate loop that calls
join() for all the
threads in the array
pool, which starts up all the
Now, compile and run the program
threads/primes2.cpp, using the
Makefile provided
make primes2). This program takes an optional positive
integer argument, for the thread count (default is 1 thread).
You can time how long a program runs at the Linux or Macintosh
command line
by preceding the command with the word
time. For
example, the two commands
% time primes % time primes2 4
will report the timing for running both the sequential
primes program, and the multi-threaded
primes2 program with four threads.
Perform time tests of these two programs, for at least
one run of
primes, one run of
primes2 with
one thread, and one run of
primes2 with 4 threads. Feel
free to experiment further.
Examine the code for the program
parallel. Observe
the following:
The same four-directory structure is used as for the
serial directory in the previous lab.
The header files
serial/include/page.hpp and
parallel/include/page.hpp are identical. You can use the
diff command to verify this:
$ cd ~/SD/lab1 $ diff serial/include/page.hpp parallel/include/page.hpp
If the
diff command finds any differences between its
two file arguments, it will report those differences; if there are no
diff will print nothing.
DO THIS: Use the
diff command to
raw_page.hpp and
spider.hpp for
these two versions
serial and
Note: The
diff program will report differences
by printing lines that appear differently in those files. Lines that
appear only in the first file argument to
diff will be
prefixed by
<, and lines that appear only in the
second file will be prefixed by
Here are differences between
serial/include/spider.hpp and
A different selection of
#include directives
appears in the two files. In particular,
serial/include/spider.hpp includes
<queue>, for the
STL queue container.
parallel/include/spider.hpp includes three other files instead of
<queue>. One refers to a new file
atomic_counter.hpp that is part of this program (in the
parallel/include). The others
provide two TBB containers, named
tbb::concurrent_queue and
TBB stands for Intel Threading Building Blocks, which provides an alternative implementation of some common containers. TBB also provides various parallel algorithms, but we will not use those algorithm features in this lab.
The state variables
m_finished, and
m_pages use the TBB
container types
tbb::concurrent_queue or
tbb::concurrent_vector instead of the STL containers
std::queue and
parallel/include/spider.hpp has two new state variables:
m_processed, which has type
atomic_counter (defined in
m_threadCount of type
size_t, which
is an integer type
parallel, one of the constructors for
spider has a second argument of type
There are two new methods, named
work() and
Note: TBB containers are used instead of STL containers because TBB containers are thread safe. This means that multiple threads can safely interact with a TBB container at the same time without causing errors. STL containers are not thread-safe: with STL containers, it is possible for two threads to interact with a container in a way that produces incorrect results.
When the correct behavior of a program depends on timing, we say that program has a race condition. The parallel version of the program uses TBB containers in order to avoid race conditions. (Race conditions are discussed in other CSinParallel modules.)
Likewise, the state variable
m_processed has the type
atomic_counter instead of
int or
long because the
atomic_counter type is
thread-safe, enabling us to avoid a race condition that may arise if multiple
threads interact with an integer variable at about the same time.
The files
serial/src/spider.cpp and
parallel/src/spider.cpp contain the main differences between
these programs -- the
parallel version uses multiple
threads. Running
diff shows these differences:
parallel, one of the constructors for
spider has a second argument, to specify the number of
threads to use.
The counter
processed is a local variable in
spider::crawl in
serial. This local
variable is replaced by a state variable
m_processed in
The main work of
crawl is moved into a method
work() for the multithreaded version
and that version creates
threadCount threads to carry
that work out. Note that
work() has one argument, an
integer index of a thread in the array
The method
spider::process() and the rest of the
code in
spider.cpp are identical (except for missing
code). The comment within
process() indicates that the
same algorithm can be used for
parallel as for
serial. Why can the same
algorithm be used in the multi-threaded version as in the sequential version?
Fill in the code indicated in two locations for the
parallel version of
spider.cpp, working from the code
you wrote for the
serial version, as indicated by
comments in the
parallel code. Then compile and run your
Note: This version of the program requires three command-line arguments: the maximum number of URLs; the number of threads to use (this arg is new); and the starting URL to crawl.
Run the program with multiple threads (say, 4 threads). What do you observe about the run?
You can examine the beginning of the output using the
more program, e.g.,
% bin/spider 100 4 www.stolaf.edu | more
Each thread is programmed to print a message such as
Thread 2 finished after processing 29 URLswhen it completes.
You will probably find that a small number of threads processed all of the URLs, and that the other threads finished early without doing any work. How many threads processed URLs in your run? Can you think of a reason why the others finished early without processing any URLs? (Hint: Think about the work queue near the beginning of the program, just as the threads are starting their work.)
To spread the computational work out better among the threads,
observe that the method
spider::crawl() includes a call
to a method
work_once() that has been commented
/* work_once(); */Remove those comments, in order to enable that call to
work_once(); . This will cause the program to process
one web page before beginning multi-thread processing. If that first
processed page includes several links, they will be added to the queue
m_work, so that several threads can retrieve web pages to
process when they first begin.

Hello, I want to let you know that I visit your website all the time! I love it, so much information. I used you as a resource when I came to Cozumel for the first time about 2 years ago. Although my soon-to-be wife was there before, I needed to do some of my own homework. As for her, she and I will be getting married on June 22 at Hotel Cozumel and we are both really excited about it. I am so happy that you are able to put this website together for people like us who love Cozumel and can't be there as much as we want to be. Thanks again!

Hello my name is Brent C. and I did the Turtle Observation & Release on June 27th. I can honestly not put into words how great and breathtaking the whole experience was! it has always been a dream of mine to watch turtles nest up close and personal but you guys topped that dream and did even better! I almost cried tears of joy when i found out I got to get up close and help remove the turtle eggs as she was laying them! I plan on becoming a marine biologist one day and this whole experience has pushed me farther into my passion for marine biology! I can not say thank you enough! Also cant forget the helpful crew of young men and women that helped us along the night and where ever so kind! Here is a picture of the green sea turtle I named April after she had laid her eggs! Thanks and God Bless

Hey ~ I just wanted to follow up and say what a great time we had swimming with the whale sharks. I also wanted to commend our tour guide Cesar. He was very knowledgeable of the people, the land, the culture, and the history. I would highly recommend him to anybody wanting to tour Mexico.
Thanks again for all of your help,

Less than an hour ago, I booked a dolphin swim package through your website. You have already confirmed my order with exactly what we wanted! I was really in a panic because when I tried to book directly through the Dolphin website, they said there was nothing available. I had read great things about your company on the on one of the popular message boards. I have to agree they are true! Thanks so much for your prompt service! I know this experience will be a great memory for my kids!

PTR - Sailing on a "Dream" 8/21/11 (A Teen's Perspective)
PTR Intro:
Hello everyone! I can't believe I only found out about the DIS a little over a year ago… I've been lurking around here (mostly the DCL section ;) ) ever since and have learned many great things from all of you!... Thanks! Here in the Trip Reports section, I've enjoyed reading many of the great times you guys have had with DCL! I've only sailed once (in '08) and I've been itching to sail again ever since I debarked from the ship! :sad1: BUT, our next cruise is only 24 days away and I couldn't be more excited!
I know it's kind of weird… A 14 year old writing a trip report, and I know not much of them has gotten attention, but I hope for the best! :thumbsup2 Nevertheless, I'd still like to share my experiences with all you DISers! :goodvibes Hopefully you'll find it very helpful and be able to use them for a comparison as to how service on the Disney Dream has changed since her Inaugural cruises.
I've watched the Disney Dream ever since construction started in Meyer Werft, and now I'm dying to see her in person! I remember the good times of staying up late during a school night to wait for when the live WebCam starts updating and I'd squeal with joy! With me being the most excited person in the family to go on this cruise, I even counted how many sailings the Disney Dream will have made from her Maiden Voyage to our sailing - we're on the 54th! :cool1:
This is my first trip report so I hope you can all bear with me with all the mistakes I'm going to make! :goodvibes. I'll try to take as much pictures as I can to share with all of you and I hope everyone likes it!
For this cruise, I will be sailing with my Mom, Dad, and Brother (18).
(NOTE: This picture was from back in our August '08 cruise! :) Sorry if the picture is small, we just got a new camera, so hopefully the actual pictures from this year's trip will be much bigger :upsidedow)
Again, we've only cruised once back in August 31, 2008 on the Wonder with the same itinerary (4-Night Bahamian), but this time, we'd like to explore Nassau more than we did the last time. This year, we plan on going on the "Nassau Forts & Junkanoo Discovery" excursion. Hopefully the $41 is worth it! :thumbsup2
With only 24 days away, I can't keep my excitement inside anymore! Hopefully I can share it with someone in here just to keep me from bursting! I can't wait will that day! :hyper:
Cruise details coming up soon! I hope I didn't bore anyone! :goodvibes

My DD and I went on the Dream last month for a Mom/Daughter only trip to celebrate her 16th birthday! She loved it!!! I didn't think she would go to Vibe much since she's shy, but she did, and she loved it! So you'll have to check that out.
I found that the best way to pass time till your cruise, is to read a lot of the DCL TR's!!!!!! (including mine.......hint, hint :rolleyes1) :rotfl:
Darn, now I'm drawn to looking for your TR! Can't wait to read it! :thumbsup2
Joining on your excitement! Can't wait to read your TR! You will do fine on it, hopefully more of us grown people will read it! Have fun!
Cruise Info
4-Night Bahamian Cruise

Stateroom 8188
August 20, 2011 -
Departing from LAX at 12:35PM; Arriving at MCO at 9:55PM
Staying at Holiday Inn for the night

Board the Disney Dream! :goodvibes
August 25, 2011 -
Disembarking the Disney Dream; checking in at Boardwalk Villas. "Free Day"

La Nouba at 9:00PM. "Free Day"
August 27, 2011 -
Head back to LAX. Departing MCO at 2:20PM
As you can see, the biggest highlight of the trip is the cruise! I wish we planned on making a longer stay at Florida so we can visit the parks, but I guess La Nouba's good enough for me :thumbsup2 Nevertheless, I think this will turn out to be one of the best vacation we ever had! :woohoo:
:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:18 DAYS LEFT!!! :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:
Hahaha The day's getting near, but I can't beat to wait anymore! :goodvibes It's just that I have no other options but to do just that WAIT. popcorn::
Anyway, I've been wondering if there had been any changes to the parking rates at port. I emailed Disney a while ago, but still no response. Have the rates really gone up to $20/day? If so, we might consider to going with Park n Cruise instead.
TIA! :goodvibes
Dang 5 days left and I can barely contain myself.
Now is the time I'm getting worried about everything. Event he DCL website's giving me a hard time IT WON'T LOAD UP! :sad2:
I read jenseib's TR saying that they weren't allowed to wear water shoes on the AquaDuck? I've also heard different. I want to make sure that I am able to record the Dream's horn, and it seems that they usually play them consecutively on Sea Day at noon so I have to be prepared for that too.
I'm dying to get one of those small Dream models, and the bad news is, they run out fairly quickly. I think I'm going to drag my parents to the shop as soon as they open so I can snag one :thumbsup2
We have everything we need! Plane tickets, hotel reservations, rental car, luggage tags EVERYTHING! All that's left now is to pack! :woohoo:
I am little worried about our flight to Florida. We have to go somewhere and won't be able to make our way home back by 9AM on the day of our flight. And out flight is at 12:45PM! :scared1: it scares me to think about not being able to get to the airport on time and miss our plane :/ Hopefully everything goes well.
5 days and counting :yay:
I guess that day finally came! By noon today (PST) we will be on the plane on its way to Orlando! And tomorrow, we board the ship! For sure once we get on, my mind's going to be in awe and will be distracted by the "wonderful-ness" of the ship itself! Right niw, i'm still confused over what to do after boarding (except to eat at Cabanas :thumbsup2)
Hopefully everything works out well! I sure will be taking thousands of pictures! :laughing:
For now, see ya! One more update coming tomorrow before boarding the ship... :goodvibes
The day is here! We just woke up and are about to get breakfast. We're probably gonna head to the port soon right after we get our stuff ready.. Hopefully all the talk about Parl n Cruise are right! We're gonna findbthat out soon ourselves! :goodvibes

Interview with David Lynch – Transcendental Meditation, "True Detective," and More
The Daily Beast just ran an awesome interview with David Lynch. I've pulled some snippets here, but you should read the whole thing if you're a Lynch fan!
via The Daily Beast:
… Read the rest
I just saw your fantastic ALS Ice Bucket Challenge video.
[Laughs] Oh. Great trumpet playing, huh? I had to do two buckets because two people challenged me, so I thought it should have some music to it. And I'm agreat trumpet player. And for some reason, I wanted to nominate Vladimir Putin. He might want to take part in helping some people.
Were there some demons you were dealing with when you turned to TM? You started on Eraserhead in '72, and I understand that was a very fraught production early on.
You don't have to be in bad shape.
David Lynch Does Ice Bucket Challenge and Nominates Vladimir Putin
Instead of being vague and click-baiting everyone, I went ahead and put the spoiler in the headline. I don't want to make everyone watch yet another ice bucket challenge video. But I wanted to share because, after all, it is David Lynch. Besides, often will you get to see Lynch playing Somewhere Over the Rainbow horribly on a trumpet as iced espresso is dumped over his head?
The Glossary Given to Audiences of David Lynch's "Dune"
h/t io9.
From Imgur: "I went to see David Lynch's Dune in the theater in 1984. As we entered, we were given a glossary of Dune terms with our tickets. I understand this is not a common piece of movie ephemera, so I thought you might like to see it."
Review of David Lynch's 'Inland Empire': a Psychedelic Trip Report
via chycho
Staying with the theme of the previous post, a review of Joon-ho Bong's 'Snowpiercer', thought I'd share a review of David Lynch's 'Inland Empire' that I posted on my previous site in 2007 after watching the movie for the first time – I ended up going back to the theater 2 more times within a week of making this post so that I could experience it again. Suffice it to say, I highly recommend the movie.
I walked out of 'Inland Empire' seven hours ago and was too exhausted to tackle this recommendation. I ended up getting something to eat and after five hours of restless sleep I think I'm ready to at least pique your interest enough to consume David Lynch and go for a ride.
I want to get one thing out of the way before I go any further. The actors in this movie will blow you away.… Read the rest
New Photography Exhibit: Warhol, Burroughs, Lynch
Andy Warhol is better remembered for his paintings, and even his films, than for the hundreds of photographs he took in the last period of his career. William Burroughs' legacy counts writing and even painting before his drawn-on photographs. David Lynch is a known cinematic genius who happens to love capturing still images of massive industrial spaces.
Each of these tertiary bodies of work would be fascinating to see on exhibit, but a gallery in England has decided to display photos by all three artists in a trio of contiguous exhibitions. I know, it's blowing my mind right now. Here's the word from Channel 4:
They're three of the key counter-cultural figures of the 20th century: Andy Warhol the pop artist, William Burroughs the cult novelist and the film maker David Lynch.
Now a trio of exhibitions at London's Photographers' Gallery shows us another side to these men – the view from behind their stills cameras.… Read the rest
Crazy Clown Time with David Lynch
Transcendental Meditation Fashionable Again
...It is jarring then, to say the least, to hear Mr. Brand, 35, speaking passionately and sincerely about the emotional solace he has found in Transcendental Meditation, or TM. Yet there he was in December, onstage at the Metropolitan Museum of Art (as his new wife, the pop singer Katy Perry, waited backstage), describing how TM has helped him repair his psychic wounds. "Transcendental Meditation has been incredibly valuable to me both in my recovery as a drug addict and in my personal life, my marriage, my professional life...

Sunergy Closes Initial Sale Of 27.5 Tons Of Stock Piled Black Sands From Pampana River, Sierra Leone Dredging Operations And Establishes A Base Price With Profit Sharing On Final Price To Produce Gold And Rare Earths Revenue
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Jan. 10, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Sunergy, Inc (the "Company") (OTC.QB: SNEY) is pleased to announce that on December 28, 2012 it sold and delivered an initial shipment of 27.5 tons of Pampana Black sands containing both Gold and Rare Earth Elements to a substantial Sierra Leone private Company for further processing and ultimate disposition. The terms of the transaction provide for a base payment to Sunergy of $1,200/ton FOB Sierra Leone, with a 50/50 split on the final price received above $1,200. The results of the Hazen Report received in August 2012 demonstrated that the Sands contained gold, titanium, zircon, tantalum and niobium and other Rare Earth Elements (See "Hazen Report" at www.sunergygold.com on home page). Further processing of the sands by the buyer could result in additional revenue for our Company in the near future from this shipment.
This transaction establishes the minimum price/ton of unrefined black sand concentrates (Base Price), which enables the Company to more accurately plan for the Pilot Plant operation to be started in the near future. Results of this initial shipment of a portion of our stockpiled material will provide valuable additional information regarding advanced recovery methods geared to recovering more marketable elements which can also be separated by adding circuits to the Pilot Plant. This work is being done at no out-of-pocket cost to the Company, except a profit share above the base price.
The size of this shipment is an amount that will provide more accurate actual recovery information than a small laboratory sample. It will also allow several tests to determine the most efficient means for economic recovery of the discreet materials that may be commercially marketable. This will enable us to determine what equipment is most useful to support our Phase 1 operation which could produce between 800-1,000 tons/ month.

Mother-in-Law Pushing Your Buttons Again?
By GalTime .com
By Deanna Brann, Ph.D. for GalTime.com
You just got off the phone with your mother-in-law. You were all set for this conversation to be different, feeling prepared for anything. But then — wham! — she said something completely off-base that you couldn't have planned for in a million years.
Man, you think, she knows exactly how to push my buttons! How did I let this happen again?
Your emotions are flowing full force, but you have no clue what to do with them or how to deal with this woman. Now what?
As the late drama critic George Jean Nathan once said, "No man can think clearly with his fists clenched." The same is true for daughters-in-law.
When you allow your feelings about what she did or said to keep you engaged in the "right or wrong" debate, you get stuck in those feelings—and in your own perception of your mother-in-law. And there you stay, focused on your own pain and on who caused that pain. This not only affects your future interactions with your mother-in-law but, more importantly, it affects a bigger picture—your children and their understanding about getting along in relationships.
RELATED What Daughters-In-Law REALLY Think
Even though you feel stuck, the truth is that you can get unstuck! And in doing so, you can teach your children some valuable lessons to carry into their future family ties. Here are some tips:
1. Know which type of mother-in-law you are dealing with. All mothers-in-law fit into one of four types: Comfortable Carla, Mothering Margaret, Off-the-Wall Wanda, or Uncertain Sara. When you know her personality type, you can put some emotional distance between you and her actions. Then you are better able to see that her actions are more about her than about you.
2. Focus on the bigger picture—not on who is right and who is wrong. When you focus on what you want in the relationship (instead of on how angry she makes you), you move closer to knowing exactly what that next step is..
RELATED Your Mom's Top 5 Relationship Mistakes: Don't Make Them
3. Help her see you for who you really are. Think about how you would respond to your mother-in-law if your emotions about her actions were not so intense. How would that change your reactions? Taking the emotion out of the situation gives you a chance to show your mother-in-law the real you, a shift that can make a big difference.

I am not just a real estate and street photographer, I also do a lot of commercial photography, here is a small sample of the work that I have been doing lately for Car-Spa, a top-notch car detailing shop.
Hello, with the passing months of working in real estate photography I have improved my technique a lot, I have created a dedicated page to my real estate photos that you can see here, I hope you enjoy the images!
This is an awesome bug lamp that was at one of the flats that I was shooting today, it's made from a lightbulb, a tea strainer and some wire.
I always have massive amounts of fun shooting the colorful pride parade in Oslo. Full of wonderful people, love and respect for one another.
I once again won the Eie Eiendomsmegling money shot of the month. I took this photo of the the roof terrace of the house that
is for sale sold.
Got to shoot this amazing flat in Frogner, you can check it out at finn.no

CORPUS CHRISTI - The Texas Surf Museum is the only museum of its kind, and now it's about to make a major change.
Texas isn't just the land of the cowboys and cowgirls, it's also home to thousands of surfers who are dedicated to their sport, especially here in Corpus Christi.
"It is like a stress relief,"said surfer Holly Thomas. "Just something that calms me down, and let's me have a fun time."
For Thomas, surfing is more than just a sport, it's a family tradition.
"My dad kind of grew up in the surf-70's scene, when Pat McGee's and everything was kind of big," she said. "So, it just kind of trickled through."
She's been working with the Texas Surf Museum on it's change from privately owned to non-profit. The museum's executive director Nicole Mora said making the switch will open so many doors for both community outreach and national recognition.
"What the future is going to bring for the museum and how we're going to be able to affect the community in a positive way is very exciting," said Mora. "Just seeing the museum from where I started a year ago, and where it's going to be a year from now."
Once non-profit, the museum will be able to host exhibits from surf museums around the nation. Right now, they're collection is from donations.
"They donate their surfboards, pictures, memorabilia, their old surf-team jackets," said Mora.
Fresh exhibits won't be the only way the museum will be able to educate the public, either. Once they go non-profit, they can have programs for kids in the community. They'll also be able to sponsor teams at surfing events.
Thomas said like her dad did with her, this is a way for the museum to pass on the Texas surfing tradition.
"Of course it's a museum, so history is the most important part," she said. "But we need to grow, as the community does."
The non-profit museum will continue to be, like the waves, free to the public.
