Is it possible, after calling a boost::thread running some instructions, to come back to main thread ?
My code is based around proactor pattern, however a certain function may take some time, so in order not to block the whole program, I'm creating a thread running this function. When this function is over, I need to call another function, but it has to be run on main thread. I have a connection pool, that is not thread safe, and I really would like to avoid mutex.
Is there a stable way to run a function on the main thread (call on another thread) ?

A week ago, the fabulous opera blog Parterre Box ran a study of the Met Opera's shaky finances. Which was by far the best thing I've read on the subject, and the kind of reporting we don't see nearly enough of in classical music. The writer was Dawn Fatale. Which of course isn't his real name. (Or hers, but most likely she's a man.) Not to go deep right now into the exuberant Parterre Box opera queen culture, but the doyenne of the blog, James Jorden (one of the sharpest observers of opera around), goes by La Cieca, a character in La Gioconda. … [Read more...]
Falling in love
…with a Mexican tenor, Javier Caramena. Not a young tenor. He's 37. Just making his Met Opera debut this season in La Sonnambula. But just watch and hear him sing "Una furtiva lagrima." In my last post I'd longed for the far-gone days when Mario Lanza sang without holding back, with full passion, without an overlay of classical-music respectability. I said I longed to go back in a time machine to be in a world where people did that, and where a large, popular audience responded. Caramena gives me that time machine. Well, not really. … [Read more...]
Why I cried
I cried last weekend, when I watched The Great Caruso, the Hollywood film about Enrico Caruso's life, released in 1951, and starring Mario Lanza. I cried — spoiler alert — because of how unfettered Italian opera was when the film was made, and also for deeper reasons I'll get to, reasons that help explain why I do the work I do. But about the movie. It might be easy to dismiss, if you haven't seen it (or for some people, sadly, even if they have) as Hollywood fakery, sentimental and factually wrong. Caruso didn't die onstage (as he's shown … [Read more...]
Red herring
I blogged a month ago about an outburst of crisis denial — two highly emotional attacks on the idea that classical music faces a serious crisis. I commented only on the emotion, thinking that later I might rebut the arguments. But I lost interest in that. Seems like a distraction from what I think ought to be our main job, which is finding ways out of the crisis, a collaborative job that's spontaneously being taken up by people all over the western world. (Maybe Asia, too, though I know less about that.) As someone who runs an iconic … [Read more...]
Hidden history
"A Young and Lively Audience: The Hidden History of Classical Music." That was the title of a talk I gave last week at the Doctoral Forum, a lecture series at Juilliard. The talk is now online, and you can listen to it. The title was meant to be provocative, of course. I talked about two things: how young the classical music audience was in past generations, and how lively the audience was in past centuries, reacting audibly while they listened, and applauding the moment they heard anything they liked. (Go here for a page on my blog site … [Read more...]
Crossing over
There's a lot of buzz in classical music these days about community — reaching out, if you're a performing group, to the community you're in, involving the community in what you do. There are endless examples. The Cincinnati Symphony has been doing "One City, One Symphony" events, involving a gala performance of a piece (they started with Beethoven's Ninth), and listening parties around the city, all built around the theme of "our common humanity." (The link goes to a Huffington Post piece about the project, since, incredibly, the orchestra … [Read more...]
My Juilliard course on the future of classical music is well under way, with a terrific group of students. Including four violists, which makes me wish we were giving a concert.

And we're almost there! Contact me if you'd like to join in. You can see what the Juilliard version of the course is about with these two links, to the course overview and to … [Read more...]
High Anxiety
Emotions are running high. That's what I thought when I read the reactions of two writers I know, to the piece in Slate that I commented on here, at the end of last month. This was the piece that exaggerated classical music's troubles, with a title, graphic, and perky one-liners, all of which said that classical music wasn't just troubled, but was actually dead. You can read my reaction to see my own view, which is that classical music is plainly not dead, and that we need to be far more precise in talking about what its problems really … [Read more...]
Don't say it's dead
There's been a lot of fuss online about a piece that showed up on Slate, about the death of classical music. Well, maybe it meant to be about the decline of classical music, and certainly included a strong array of facts and figures, more than I've usually seen in writing on this subject, no matter what point of view the writer take. But because the headline on the piece was "Requiem: Classical Music in America Is Dead"…because of the graphic I've reproduced here, which led off the piece (and which I've crossed out, because I disagree with … [Read more...]
The moral of the story
The moral, that is, of my critique of the Chicago Symphony's "Sounds and Stories" online magazine. It so badly disappointed me. Great idea, for an orchestra to provide the kind of classical music coverage we don't find these days in the media. But why make it so deadly dull? So drastically out of touch with the kind of lively media people find everywhere else? I was being interviewed by a British journalist about "Sounds and Stories." That's how I happened to look at the site, though I'm sure I would have looked at it on my own, sooner or … [Read more...]
Such a disappointment
A British journalist wanted to interview me about the Chicago Symphony's new "Sounds and Stories" online multimedia magazine. So of course I looked at it. And I was so very sadly disappointed. What a good idea, I thought, to launch an online magazine, so people interested in the CSO or in classical music can read things they'd never get in standard media, where classical music is covered less and less. From the moment I got the CSO's press release about this, I was cheering for them. But what they've done, I'm so very sorry to say, is … [Read more...]
Classical music in an age of pop
That's the course I'm teaching at Juilliard this semester, as I have every spring since 1997. Which means I've been teaching this course — about the future of classical music — for 17 years. Which of course also means that there's been concern about the future of for 17 years. I gave a talk at Juilliard in 1996 as part of their Doctoral Forum, about classical music's future, and that lead to an invitation to teach the course. (I'm giving another Doctoral Forum talk next month, about the classical music audience, past and present. But later for … [Read more...]
Rafa says no
My little son, two years old, was taking CDs off the shelf where we keep operas. Looking at each one, and handing it to me. One he took down was the old Joan Sutherland recording of Rossini's Semiramide, with Marilyn Horne, and Richard Bonynge conducting, I don't think I've heard it since it came out in 1966, when I'd eagerly awaited it — I was, and still am a big bel canto fan — but then was disappointed. Too many cuts, I thought. (I was a snob about cuts.) And apart from Sutherland and Horne the singers weren't great. Even Sutherland … [Read more...]

Brush the issues aside
Here's a thought from my friend and Juilliard colleague David Wallace, a violist, composer, teaching artist, and — as Doc Wallace — a Texas fiddler. And much, much more. His subject? All the issues he, I, and so many others thrash out, about classical music, its problems, its future, its place in our culture. Everything discussed in my blog. At some point…but let David tell it: At some point, self-marketing that surfs the "What's wrong about classical music wave, and why I'm not that" is going tobe blown away by marketing that simply … [Read more...]

Join Meir Panim's campaign to "light up" Chanukah for families in need.
Columnist Jihad Harb was summoned on Wednesday for interrogation by the Head of Public Prosecutions, on a complaint filed against him by the Chief of Staff of the Palestinian presidency, on charges of libel and slander, and direct insults to the employees in the Office of the President, through an article he wrote about two months ago, the Palestinian Center for Development and Media Freedoms reported.
Jihad Harb was questioned about the article that was published in a number of Palestinian news sites, and told him that he was accused of libel and slander according to the Jordanian Penal Code that is in force in the Palestinian territories. MADA center attorney Raed Abdel-Hamid and a team of lawyers, jurists, and a representative of the Palestinian Journalists Syndicate, accompanied Harb during the interrogation.
The Head of the prosecution realized during the investigation that Harb is employed by the Palestinian Legislative Council, which means that the Attorney General must first issue permission to detain him. A request has been submitted to the AG, and Harb will remain free until the prosecution is officially permitted to pick him up for questioning again.
While Jihad Harb was interrogated inside, several journalists, human rights activists and representatives of civil institutions protested in solidarity with him in front of the Public Prosecution Office in Ramallah.

DENVER | On the eve of Sen. Barack Obama's historic acceptance of the Democratic presidential nomination, senior party strategists said the race in the battleground states remains frustratingly tight but winnable.
They also acknowledged that race was playing a factor in these states and that the freshman Illinois senator could still be defeated by Republican Sen. John McCain because of doubting Democratic voters.
"I can see a way we can lose this election, but it's more likely he wins than loses, though that's not certain," Democratic strategist James Carville said at a luncheon briefing hosted Wednesday by the Christian Science Monitor.
Mr. Carville, the feisty political adviser who helped Bill Clinton become the first Democrat in more than five decades to win two terms as president, also said reports that many of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's supporters remain bitter and unenthusiastic about Mr. Obama were overblown.
"You have bruised feelings but the process goes on. Anyone can go out and interview 100 Hillary Clinton people and you are going to find someone who says, 'I'm still mad about this,'" he said.
Democratic pollster Stanley Greenberg said his polling shows that race continues to be a factor in the election. "A number of voters said that," he said.
Mr. Carville expressed some frustration that the convention and Mr. Obama's campaign have not responded forcefully enough to the McCain camp's TV and Internet attacks.
Mr. Greenberg expressed doubts about Mr. Obama's decision to deliver his acceptance speech Thursday at a mass outdoor rally expected to draw more than 75,000 people. "I'm nervous about that format, the noise level" and whether Mr. Obama's message comes across to TV viewers, he said.
Both men acknowledged the election will be won or lost in a handful of battleground contests and their latest poll of 1,348 likely voters in 18 tossup states (including leaners) showed Mr. Obama leading by a mere two points, 46 percent to 44 percent, for a statistical dead heat.
The Gallup Poll's national daily tracking surveys showed Mr. McCain edging ahead slightly, while other battleground surveys in tossup states such as Michigan, Ohio and Florida showed the race virtually dead even.
Michigan, a pivotal Midwestern industrial state, has been a key focus of the Democracy Corps polling group founded by the two strategists. It is the legendary home of the "Reagan Democrats," once-dyed-in-the-wool Democratic voters who turned on their party in the 1980s and gave Ronald Reagan 66 percent of their vote in 1984.
One of that state's key swing regions then was Macomb County. Al Gore took it by just two percentage points in 2000 and Sen. John Kerry lost it by 1 point in 2004.
"Today, Barack Obama trails John McCain in Macomb by seven points (46 percent to 39 percent), with 8 percent for Ralph Nader and 2 percent for Bob Barr," Mr. Greenberg and Mr. Carville wrote in a recent polling analysis titled, "Back to Macomb - Reagan Democrats and Barack Obama."
Their poll found that Mr. Obama was "underperforming with Democrats, getting 71 percent of their support here compared to 85 percent nationally."
On the other hand, they noted that Mr. Clinton lost Macomb by 5 points in 1992 and "still carried the state easily and that Obama faces nothing like the 20 point or 30-point wipe out in Macomb that contributed to [Walter] Mondale and [Michael] Dukakis losing Michigan handily."
"So why are these voters in Macomb holding back from Obama?" they said in their analysis. "They are not sure they really know him well enough to trust him and race is a consideration that rises to the level of a threshold issue, with voters wanting to be sure he will represent everyone."

In today's least shocking piece of news, Kim Kardashian has filed for divorce. While I would never wish anyone's marriage ill will, if you're like me and for some reason hate yourself enough to watch the four hour wedding special on E! between Kardashian and her soon to be ex Kris Humphries, it was pretty apparent that the two should have never gotten married. Their lack of chemistry, shared morals and any interests at all in the same thing was amplified by the billionth as a result of Kim's agreement to make her life the Truman show.
This morning Ryan Seacrest, who among his many, many jobs is the Executive Producer of all Kardashian related shows (please don't make me count how many there are) announced via Twitter that Kim is indeed filing for divorced. In the Kardashian world it doesn't get more official than that. Seacrest tweeted Yes @kimkardashian is filing for divorce this morning. I touched base with her, getting a statement in just a few mins.
When most people file for divorce it's a painful, private event. Apparently when you file for divorce after a 72-day marriage and a wedding with a rumoured price tag of $10 million, you want the world to know immediately. Once thing is for sure – this divorce means that it won't be long before we see another Kim K. reality show.

Trade 100 option contracts for only $23.95. Compare rates and save at TradeKing.com
100%The popular TradeKing promotional code is not always available, but the online stock broker will give new customers free money via sign up bonuses every few months. Sometimes, they run a promotional referral program to give both the referrer and the person signing up a cash bonus. Other times, no referrer is needed to grab the promo offer. When either of the promotions are available to the public, we will get you the details and list out the instructions below so you can take advantage of the TradeKing promotion code. In the meantime, check out these perks for joining the online stock broker and see if you still want to wait for the next big promotion.
Click Here to Go to TradeKing.com
Some sites out there are claiming that you can get $250 or more when you sign up, which TradeKing never offered before. What they really mean is that you will get $150 back in transfer fees, negating the termination fee that your current stock broker might charge you if you were to move your assets over to TradeKing. If you add that reimbursement fee, plus the signup bonus of $100 TradeKing promotional bonus that is available from time to time, then you get a total of $250.
Also, you need to actually fund your account whenever there is a TradeKing signup bonus so it's not like you can just fill in a form and get $100 for free. When there is a TradeKing promotion, only new customers who are willing to fund their account (sometimes, it's $1,000; other times, it's $2,500) will be eligible for the free cash. In order to get the bonus, you will need to fund the account with that amount before they will transfer that bonus to you. In addition, they may also ask that you trade a few times before you qualify. This wouldn't be a problem if you actually plan to use their services, but keep this in mind before you take the plunge.

For the last six months, they were the best of enemies, and on Saturday at UFC 182, Jon Jones and Daniel Cormier proved to be pretty much perfect dance partners, too. Jones got the last laugh—retaining his title and sending the 35-year-old Cormier spinning into uncertainty with a unanimous-decision win—but not before the challenger brought out the best (and worst) in the polarizing light heavyweight champion. It was fitting that their intense personal feud ended with a fight as emotionally charg read news >>
It took approximately 10 seconds for the doubts to start creeping in. As soon as referee John McCarthy said the words and Eddie Alvarez bounded out to the center of the cage to meet Donald Cerrone in the co-main event of Saturday's UFC 178, the differences were startling. Wow, we all thought, Alvarez sure looked small. Cerrone's size advantage didn't exactly come as a surprise given he's listed at 6'1" to Alvarez's 5'9".

Billie Piper to return to Doctor Who
Good news for Doctor Who fans, in particular fans of actress Billie Piper, who played the part of Rose Tyler from the show's return in March 2005 until July 2006. The British actress will be returning in no fewer than three episodes in the forthcoming series -- set to air in 2008 -- giving the Doctor three companions over the course of series four. Piper's character was stranded in an alternative ...
Doctor Who: Time Crash
Last night on BBC One in the UK, the Corporation's annual charity telethon, 'Children in Need' raised £19million for underpriviledged kids around the country. However, the highlight of the evening was a short Doctor Who segment, filmed specially for the telethon (as has become a tradition every year at this time), which bridged the final episode of season four three, 'Last of the Time Lords'...

Doctor Who: The Last of the Time Lords (season finale)
(S03E13) It almost seems inevitable that a series finale doesn't quite live up to everyone's expectations, with a few minor exceptions (such as the recent series finale of Lost). I eagerly anticipated the series finale of Heroes, and while I was significantly entertained enough to have enjoyed myself, I felt kind of cheated when it was revealed that Syler was probably not dead after all. I felt t...
Doctor Who: Utopia/The Sound of Drums
(S03E11 / S03E12) I've decided to combine the first two episodes of this three-part finale in to one review, partly because it's only a few days until the finale itself, but mostly because I really don't know where to start with this totally explosive storyline. When Doctor Who returned to our screens a few years ago, everyone was anticipating the return of old favourites, like the Autons, the Dal...

Seriously -- it can't ...
Doctor Who: Human Nature / Family of Blood
(S03E08 / S03E09) Haven't I always said that the best episodes of Doctor Who are generally set in the past? I deliberately waited until the second part of this two-part episode had aired before making any judgments on it, partly because the first episode promised so much, but left things hanging in the balance -- but also because it was a sharp turn away from the recent filler episodes which had f...
Schlamme heading for Mars
It looks like the US version of the BBC's hit sci-fi show Life on Mars is getting off to a good start. David E.

(If you haven't managed to catch any of the first and second series of Life on Mars, you should -- it's fantastic). Schlamme previously worked on The W...
Doctor Who: 42
(S03E07) I'm starting to get the feeling that Russell T. Davies and company are filling time for a big run-in towards the end of series three of Doctor Who.

Doctor Who: The Lazarus Experiment
(S03E06) It's almost inevitable for any good series to hit a slight dip when it reaches the half-way point in a series, and Doctor Who isn't immune to a lull in pace. I honestly wasn't expecting much of "The Lazarus Experiment", and even though the special effects were of a reasonably high standard, the whole story was somewhat disjointed and hurried. A few weeks ago, I made a point of suggesting...

Camber thrust is also useful in four-wheeled vehicles. The main benefit associated with tipping the tires off a perfectly vertical orientation is compensating for the body's outward lean in a corner. Ideally, the entire tire tread should stay firmly and evenly planted against the pavement. Unfortunately, that ideal situation is disturbed by body lean and by the typical suspension system's inability to fully compensate for the tipping body.
Car and tire designers avoid significant camber angles because, if one front tire runs at a camber angle and the other doesn't, the car can feel twitchy and unpredictable on a straight path. Also, uneven tread wear occurs with tires rolling at steep camber angles.
The beauty of the Camber Tire is that its tread runs flat. Scott claims that his prototype tire treads showed normal life in long-mileage tests. But the more important benefit is the camber thrust available to enhance cornering ability without waiting for body roll or suspension deflection.
Forty years ago, racing driver-engineer Mark Donohue was so intrigued by the possible benefits of cambered tires that his crew constructed an experimental AMC Javelin for the Trans Am series combining cambered wheels with a live rear axle. Today, Goodyear is exploiting cambered tires in NASCAR. Since Sprint Cup cars only turn left on oval tracks, it's beneficial to have the outboard tires running at steep negative (top towards the car) camber angles while the inboard tires operate at steep positive (top away from the car) camber. In the middle of a high-speed corner, when the body rolls a few degrees, this setup provides the ideal upright orientation, allowing all four tires to generate maximum adhesion.
The tests we conducted at the Bosch proving grounds in Flat Rock, Michigan, over south-eastern Michigan public roads, and at the Tire Rack's testing facilities near South Bend, Indiana, were rudimentary by design and intent. The goal was to determine if the Camber Tire could deliver Scott's phenomenal claims. We used two Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution test cars - one with standard Yokohama Advan A13 original equipment tires and factory camber settings (see results chart), one with front and rear suspensions reset with negative camber. Scott's Optima Sports enterprise supplied two sets of Camber Tires for evaluation -- one molded with a 140 tread wear rating, the other with R compound tread rubber. (The reference Advans have a 180 tread-wear rating -- higher is better. R compound rubber is intended for gymkhana or race track use where traction is a much higher priority than tread wear. We owe a special thanks to Automobile Magazine reader Jermaine Holland who generously provided the reference Evo test car and OE tires.)
Our results confirm that Camber Tires do provide measurable advantages over conventional rubber designs. Optima's standard-tread design (second on the results chart) is a fairly close performance match with the original equipment Yokohama Advans. (After 23,000 miles of use, one Tire Rack customer rated these tires "simply the best tire an Evo driver can get.") The R-compound Camber Tire delivered remarkable gains: versus the reference Advans, it shortened stopping distance by 11 feet and increased cornering grip by more than four percent (left and right lateral acceleration average).

Flaps provide extra lift at low speed. They only move down (not up and down like ailerons) and they work best when located close to the fuselage. |

So we do have also to install the flaps for this model ? Kozi, does your model have flaps ? I thought it was only for larger RC planes |

So far this is my shopping list from Hobby :
HXT900 - HXT900 9g / 1.6kg / .12sec Micro Servo $22.05 133g HK-T6A-M2 - Hobby King 2.4Ghz 6Ch Tx & Rx (Mode 2) $32.95 998g FS-L001 - Hobby King 2.4Ghz 6Ch Tx USB Cable for Win2000/XP $2.99 60g R4900-25-4 - Rhino 4900mAh 4S1P 25C Lipoly Pack $48.34 556g HK-SS100A - Hobbyking SS Series 90-100A ESC $49.66 230g HXT_UBEC - HXT UBEC 5/6v output, 5.5~23v Input $6.95 25g MR2 - 30 Minute Epoxy Glue $4.98 114g IMAXB6 - IMAX B6 Charger/Discharger 1-6 Cells + 2 EDF 68 - 4S with 4800 brushless motors. I still need more items, but key questions are : - what are these cables between the battery and the receiver ? - cables between receiver and the UBEC -- then between the UBEC and the 2 ESC ? - Cables between ESC and engines ? - cables between receiver and servos ? I also need to buy servos lead extensions and wheels. Cheers |

The motor comes with 3 wires, with connectors to connect with the three wires on the esc. The esc, has a wire(red, white, black) with a connector that plugs into the recever. The servos also ome with these wires and a connector to plug into the receiver, however, you will need aa servo extension, which has a male and a female side. The esc you selected has a preinstalled bec, to supply power to the receiver and servos, but I think the built in bec can only supply 4 servos and receiver. Which is where the UBEC kicks in, (if you need more servos). The UBEC will have to be soldered onto the battery wires of the esc. Then, the UBEC comes with a receiver wire, like all the other ones, which you need to plug into the battery port on the receiver, usually labelled as 6/BATT.
Oh ya, you will also need a y harness for the two escs to plug into one receiver throttle port. I think you will have to do something with a programming so both escs control together, i have never used 2escs. Other than servo extensions and a y harness(reversed y harness I think...) you will not need to buy any other wires. All the equipment will come with the necessary wires. Also, that UBEC that you chose says 23v input, but your lipo is only 14.8v. Look into if that UBEC will work. Each servo will take about .5 amps I was told |

Also, if you use external UBEC, make sure to remove the middle(5V) wire from the ESC to Rx connection. Just slide it out. Otherwise, BEC of the ESC and UBEC will fight each other. I'm not sure what will happen, but it's not a good practice, I hear. |

So I need : - a switch (ON/OFF)to be connected between the battery and receiver (right ?) - Y Harness for the ESC - but how to make sure that plugs are the same for ESC and Y Harness ? Are these plugs standart ? - Let's say some 2m cabling for the engines and the servos - connectors ?what type ? Cheers |
Jan 20, 2010, 05:38 AM | ||
(2) Any Y harness will work with the ESC's. Just check if your HObbycity radio is compatible with a JR or Futaba plug type. (3) Plugs for battery = depends on the plug on the battery side. Choose the opposite of what the battery pack has on it for the ESC side. Plugs for ESC to brushless motors - 3.5mm Gold bullet plugs, 3 of each male and female (PolyMax 3.5mm Gold Connectors 10 PAIRS (20PC)) or this one is easier (3 socket gold connector w/ Housing 8cm 14AWG F and 3 socket gold connector w/ Housing 8cm 14AWG M) easier because u won't need heatshrink (4) 2 meters of cable is plenty(good) - (Turnigy Pure-Silicone Wire 10AWG (1mtr) RED and get BLACK too) (5) Servo extensions (JR or Futaba type plug??? Depends on your RX) (45CM Servo Lead Extention (JR) 26AWG (10pcs/set) this is plenty, wow u also get 10 pieces bargain!!! Hope this helps!! |

Woomera Sovereignty Movement of Queensland
Category: Opinion Published Date
As I drove the 2 hour long trek from my home base of Toowoomba to Brisbane on a wet, miserable day I wondered if many locals would brave the inclement weather to attend a public forum on the growing sovereignty movement.
Sovereignty is a misunderstood word that can be interpreted as confronting and unpatriotic or a wholly inclusive and apt word for our mob's uncontested rights...
