My question is based off of inheriting a great deal of legacy code that I can't do very much about. Basically, I have a device that will produce a block of data. A library which will call the device to create that block of data, for some reason I don't entirely understand and cannot change even if I wanted to, writes that block of data to disk.
This write is not instantaneous, but can take up to 90 seconds. In that time, the user wants to get a partial view of the data that's being produced, so I want to have a consumer thread which reads the data that the other library is writing to disk.
Before I even touch this legacy code, I want to mimic the problem using code I entirely control. I'm using C#, ostensibly because it provides a lot of the functionality I want.
In the producer class, I have this code creating a random block of data:
FileStream theFS = new FileStream(this.ScannerRawFileName,
FileMode.OpenOrCreate, FileAccess.Write, FileShare.Read);
//note that I need to be able to read this elsewhere...
BinaryWriter theBinaryWriter = new BinaryWriter(theFS);
int y, x;
for (y = 0; y < imheight; y++){
ushort[] theData= new ushort[imwidth];
for(x = 0; x < imwidth;x++){
theData[x] = (ushort)(2*y+4*x);
byte[] theNewArray = new byte[imwidth * 2];
Buffer.BlockCopy(theImage, 0, theNewArray, 0, imwidth * 2);
Thread.Sleep(mScanThreadWait); //sleep for 50 milliseconds
Progress = (float)(y-1 >= 0 ? y-1 : 0) / (float)imheight;
So far, so good. This code works. The current version (using FileStream and BinaryWriter) appears to be equivalent (though slower, because of the copy) to using File.Open with the same options and a BinaryFormatter on the ushort[] being written to disk.
But then I add a consumer thread:
FileStream theFS;
if (!File.Exists(theFileName)) {
//do error handling
else {
theFS = new FileStream(theFileName, FileMode.Open,
FileAccess.Read, FileShare.Read);
//very relaxed file opening
BinaryReader theReader = new BinaryReader(theFS);
//gotta do this copying in order to handle byte array swaps
//frustrating, but true.
byte[] theNewArray = theReader.ReadBytes(
(int)(imheight * imwidth * inBase.Progress) * 2);
ushort[] theData = new ushort[((int)(theNewArray.Length/2))];
Buffer.BlockCopy(theNewArray, 0, theData, 0, theNewArray.Length);
Now, it's possible that the declaration of theNewArray is broken, and will cause some kind of read overflow. However, this code never gets that far, because it always always always breaks on trying to open the new FileStream with a System.IO.IOException that states that another process has opened the file.
I'm setting the FileAccess and FileShare enumerations as stated in the FileStream documentation on MSDN, but it appears that I just can't do what I want to do (ie, write in one thread, read in another). I realize that this application is a bit unorthodox, but when I get the actual device involved, I'm going to have to do the same thing, but using MFC.
In any event, What am I forgetting? Is what I'm wanting to do possible, since it's specified as possible in the documentation?
Thanks! mmr

Understanding Table Validation Rules
How to understanding table validation rules.
The Validation Rule field property allows you to limit entries. For instance, a simple expression such as <10 would limit field entries to values less than 10. You can apply this strategy to tables, since they also have a Validation Rule property. Most of the time, you'll use this property when you want to limit data based on the contents of more than one field. For instance, if all product prices can be no more than 20 percent over their wholesale value. To limit your product price field, you'd open the table in Design View; choose View, Properties; and enter the expression [Price]<=[Wholesale]+([Wholesale]*0.2) As a result, every Price entry must be equal to or less than 20 percent more than the corresponding Wholesale value.

Capcom To Release Mega Man Anthology 70

You said:
Sure, but I bet there are lots of NES owners who own an Xbox now and nothing else and are pissed at CAPCOM. I mean, what do they think I was playing when I was 8? A NES of course, like almost everyone else.
Capcom is a Japanese company, as such they are probably more concerned than they should be with sales in their home country compared to sales in the rest of the world. (Sure, they'd rather have it sell well everywhere, but it's kind of embaresing if your product flops in your own teritory even if it does well elsewhere)
As such, the first poster is probably right, the abysmal XBox sales in Japan may well have affected the decision.
And you only own an XBox, and not a PS2 or GameCube? What were you thinking? To the best of my knowledge there are only three or four worthwhile games that are exclusive to XBox, but there's a lot for the PS2 and GameCube.
It is the quality rather than the quantity that matters. - Lucius Annaeus Seneca (4 B.C. - A.D. 65)

A memory aboard a boom-type crane stores the coefficients of several polynomials of at least the fifth order closely approximating respective curves giving the maximum permissible load for different boom lengths as a function of the elevational angle of the boom (or the horizontal projection of its length). The set of coefficients read out under the control of a boom-length sensor is fed to a processor which calculates, for a given angle (or projection) as measured by another sensor, the numerical value of the maximum load corresponding to the selected polynomial. The actual value of the load, e.g. as detected by the hydraulic pressure of a jack engaging the boom at an intermediate point, is compared with the permissible maximum calculated by the processor; if that maximum is exceeded, an alarm is given.
1. A load-monitoring system for use aboard a crane having an extendable boom inclinable at different angles to the horizontal, comprising:
first sensing means for generating a first signal representative of the effective length of said boom;
second sensing means for generating a second signal representative of the elevational angle of said boom;
memory means storing a plurality of sets of coefficients of polynomials of at least the fifth order closely approximating respective curves giving the maximum permissible load for different boom lengths as a function of a variable parameter related to boom inclination, said memory means being addressable by said first sensing means for reading out a set of coefficients selected in response to said first signal;
processing means connected to said memory means and to said second sensing means for calculating a numerical value of the polynomial defined by the selected set of coefficients which corresponds to said variable parameter as determined by said second signal;
measuring means engageable with said boom for determining the magnitude of a load supported thereby; and
comparison means with inputs connected to said processing means and to said measuring means for generating an alarm signal upon said magnitude exceeding a permissible limit determined by said numerical value.
2. A system as defined in claim 1 wherein said memory means is reprogrammable to modify the stored sets of coefficients in accordance with additional crane parameters.
3. A system as defined in claim 1 wherein said measuring means comprises a pressure sensor or a cylinder of a hydraulic jack anchored to a fixed base and to an intermediate point of the boom.
4. A system as defined in claim 1, further comprising selector means connected to an address input of said memory means for further determining the set of coefficients to be read out and having positions representing utilization and nonutilization of outriggers for said crane and of an ancillary boom articulated at an end of the first mentioned boom remote from an operator's cab, and an azimuthal angle by which the cab and said booms have been rotated.
My present invention relates to a load-monitoring system for a crane of the boom or jib type, designed to alert an operator to the fact that the load moment of the crane is about to surpass a critical magnitude and/or to prevent directly the establishment of an overload situation.
As is well known in the art, the effective load movement of such a crane depends not only on the weight of a load suspended from its hoisting cable but also on the length of its boom and its angle of inclination or elevation. The point at which this moment begins to impair the stability of the crane, when the same is designed as a mobile vehicle, is also determined in each instance by the dimensions of its base and, at least in the absence of lateral outrigger-type supports, by the azimuthal angle included between the boom and the vehicular axis. Reference in this connection may be made, for example, to U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,638,211 and 3,740,534 as well as others listed therein as cited references.
From the patents referred to above it is known to provide such a crane with a computer including a memory digitally storing information peculiar thereto, the memory being addressable by a boom-angle sensor and a boom-length sensor to read out a numerical value representing the maximum load that can be safely supported under the existing operating conditions. This value is compared with the magnitude of the load actually measured and an alarm signal is given if the measured magnitude approaches the stored value.
Such a memory must have a large storage capacity in view of the many combinations of boom length, boom angle and possibly other parameters that have to be taken into account.
It is also known, e.g. from British Pat. No. 1,107,116, to use an analog computer for the purpose of determining the maximum permissible load moment on the basis of signals measuring such parameters as the boom angle and the tension of a hoisting cable supporting the load. As more particularly described in that British patent, the computer may operate along a straight line or a curve--e.g. an arc of a circle or a parabola--which approximates a curve representing the permissible maximum load as a function of angle of elevation. A path corresponding to that straight line or curve can be traced by a lever or a slide coacting with suitable markings.
A straight line or even a second-order curve such as a parabola, however, is only a rather rought approximation of the actual load characteristic of a crane of the kind here envisaged. In order to satisfy national and international regulations concerning crane safety, a control system of this simplified type would have to be so designed that the deviations lie on the "safe" side of that characteristic; this entails an underutilization of the load-carrying capacity in many instances.
The object of my present invention, therefore, is to provide an improved load-monitoring system which does not require a memory of large storage capacity while allowing a good approximation of the actual load characteristic of a crane in order to prevent the establishment of overload conditions.
A system according to my present invention comprises first sensing means for generating a first signal representative of effective boom length, second sensing means for generating a second signal representative of the elevational angle of the boom, and a memory storing a plurality of sets of coefficients of polynomials of at least the fifth order closely approximating respective curves giving the maximum permissible load for different boom lengths as a function of variable parameter relating to boom inclination. That parameter could be the elevational boom angle itself but may also be the horizontal (or vertical) projection of the boom given by its length times the cosine (or sine) of that angle. In some instances it may even suffice to measure the extent to which the boom projects horizontally beyond its support, specifically its vehicular base. The memory is addressable by the first sensing means for reading out a set of coefficients, selected in response to the first signal, to a processor which is also connected to the second sensing means for calculating a numerical value of the polynomial defined by the selected set of coefficients which corresponds to the variable parameter as determined by the second signal. A comparator with inputs connected to the processor and to measuring means engageable with the boom, for determining the magnitude of a load supported thereby, generates an alarm signal whenever that magnitude exceeds a permissible limit determined by the calculated numerical value. The term "alarm signal", as here used, encompasses not only an indication given to an operator but also a possible command preventing the boom-positioning mechanism from inadmissibly changing the elevational angle.
The memory, which is preferably of the read-only type, may be reprogrammable to modify the stored set of coefficients in accordance with structural changes of the crane to which the system is applied.
The measurement of the actual load may be carried out, as in the system of the above-identified British patent, by a sensor responsive to the tension of the boom-hoisting cable. An alternative measuring device, also known per se, is a pressure sensor connectable with a cylinder of a hydraulic jack which serves to adjust the angle of elevation and which is anchored to a fixed base and to an intermediate point of the boom; see also my prior U.S. Pat. No. 4,185,280. The output of such a pressure sensor is a signal dependent not only on the live load suspended from the cable but also on the dead weight of the boom itself and any ancillary jib serving as an extension thereof. The relationship between that output signal and the elevational angle is a function which, as I have found, can be quite closely approximated by a polynominal of the fifth or the sixth order having five or six coefficients, respectively. Higher-order polynomials could, of course, be used, yet this would call for additional storage capacity which generally will not be necessary.
The above and other features of my invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawing in which:
FIGS. 1-18 are graphs showing polynomials, relating to different operating conditions of a crane, whose coefficients are to be stored in a load-monitoring system according to my invention;
FIG. 19 is a somewhat schematic side-elevational view of a crane equipped with such a system; and
FIG. 20 is a block diagram of that system.
Reference will first be made to FIG. 19 in which I have shown a mobile crane 10 of a type known per se, comprising an extendable main boom 11 with telescoped sections and an ancillary boom or jib 12 articulated thereto at 13. A hoisting cable 14 passes around both booms and supports a hook 15 designed to carry a load not shown. Boom 11 is inclined to the horizontal at an elevational angle α which can be varied by a hydraulic jack 18 under the control of the crane operator. Jib 12 includes with boom 11 an angle β which is adjustable with the aid of a cable 16 deflected by a brace 17. The jack 18 is anchored to a platform 19 which, together with the operator's cab, is rotatable in the usual manner about a vertical axis on a wheel-supported base 20. This base may be provided with outriggers, e.g. as shown in the two above-identified U.S. patents, which have not been illustrated.
The variable length L of the main boom 11 is measured by a sensor 21 while its elevational angle α is determined by a sensor 22, both of which may be of the type described in the first two U.S. patents referred to. Another type of boom-length sensor, which can also be used, is described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,489,294. The jib 12 has a constant length L'. The elevation of boom 11 is controlled by the pressure of hydraulic fluid fed to jack 18, that pressure being measured by a sensor 23 on support 19.
FIG. 20 shows a load-monitoring system according to my invention installed aboard the crane 10 of FIG. 19. The system comprises a preferably programmable read-only memory 24 with an address input extending from length sensor 21 and another address input originating at a manual selector 25 which is settable in various positions depending on the utilization of nonutilization of outriggers and of the ancillary boom or jib 12 as well as on the azimuthal angle by which the operator`s cab and the boom have been rotated from the forward-pointing position illustrated in FIG. 19. If the jib 12 is used, its angle of relative inclination β will also be fed to the memory 24 by the selector 25.
Memory 24 is divided into a number of sections, jointly addressable by sensor 21 and selector 25, each storing a set of coefficients assigned to a respective polynomial which approximates the actual values of the maximum permissible hydraulic pressure of jack 18 for different elevational angles α within a predetermined operating range. These actual pressures, as empirically determined for a multiplicity of values of α, lie at more or less closely spaced points of a coordinate system which may be interconnected by straight lines or in stepped fashion to form a polygonal trace. In practice, that trace may be approximately linear in an intermediate part of the range but will significantly depart from linearity for the lowest and the highest values of α.
A processor 26, receiving the coefficients read out from memory 24 under the control of sensor 21 and selector 25, plots from these coefficients a polynomial curve approximating the aforementioned polygonal trace within the range of variation of elevational angle α. The instantaneous magnitude of angle α is supplied by sensor 22 to processor 26 which on the basis thereof delivers a signal proportional to pressure P to a comparator 27. Sensor 23 supplies that comparator with a signal proportion to the actual hydraulic pressure P' which at no time should exceed the permissible value P. Comparator 27, therefore, emits an alarm signal A whenever the magnitude of P' closely approaches the value P; signal A may visually or audibly alert the crane operator and/or may inhibit the positioning mechanism from changing its elevational angle.
The graphs of FIGS. 1-18 show in full lines respective curves representing the polynomial P(α) for different sets of parameters reflected by the output signals of sensor 21 and selector 25, with angle α read on the abscissa and pressure P read along the ordinate. Also shown in some of these graphs, in phantom lines, are segments of the empirically determined polygonal traces referred to above, to the extent that these traces deviate significantly from the associated polynomial curves. With the exception of FIGS. 12-15, these graphs apply to the crane 10 of FIG. 19 stabilized by the nonillustrated outriggers; FIGS. 1-10 correspond to different lengths L of main boom 11, with FIGS. 12-15 relating to the same boom lengths as FIGS. 1-4 but without outriggers. FIGS. 11 and 16-18 pertain to the presence of the ancillary jib 12 of length L' inclined at different angles β to the main boom 11; in all the other instances the load is suspended directly from the end of that main boom. These examples are all for the forward-pointing position of FIG. 19.
In the following Table I have listed the polynomial coefficients K0 -K6 for the function P=K6 α6 +K5 α5 +K4 α4 +K3 α3 +K2 α2 +K1 α+K0. The curves of FIGS. 1 and 3 are only polynomials of the fifth order, with K6 =0, while the others are all of the sixth order. The boom length L is variable between 11 and 34.6 meters while the pressure P goes up to about 160 bars. The operative range of elevational angle α may extend between about 20� and 80�. Processor 26 could be of the digital or the analog type.

It is to be understood that my invention is also applicable to a crane in which the elevation of the boom is controlled by a hoisting cable, as in the above-identified British patent, whose tension is measured by a sensor as representative of the actual load. Curves generally similar to those of FIGS. 1-18, with tension instead of pressure plotted along the ordinate, would be used in such a system.

Motorists advised to use caution as city addresses poor road conditions
Winnipeg's salting and sanding trucks will work "around-the-clock" to help improve traction on city streets tonight and Saturday morning, according to the city.
"With a large number of pieces of heavy equipment out on the roadways and reduced visibility due to high winds, we are asking motorists to use extra care and caution," said Ken Boyd, manager of streets maintenance with the City of Winnipeg.
And that means Winnipeg could be looking at a $3-4 million cleanup if the blizzard turns out as severe as forecast, the City of Winnipeg said today.
A 10-15 centimetre snowfall, as projected, is almost just a "normal" cleanup costing in the $750,000 range, said Boyd.
It's when you factor in the wind that this storm could drive up costs. Wind causes drifting which could require graders in addition to truck plows to clear snow. It could also require clearing of residential street in addition to just main thoroughfares and bus routes.
Also, because strong winds of 40-60 km/h are predicted for several days, streets may need to be cleaned more than once even though snow is expected to stop Saturday morning.
As it is, up to 150 plows, loaders, and sand and salt spreaders will be on Winnipeg roads tonight and Saturday morning clearing streets.
Right now, there are more than 25 spreader trucks on city street. Once snow starts to accumulate later today, a truck-plowing operation will start on main routes, bus routes and collector streets to keep streets clear and passable.
The city snow-clearing budget for 2013 is $31 million and this will be the first major cleanup.
The winter storm moving in from the Dakotas will hit southern Manitoba this afternoon and move into Winnipeg by the evening.
The day began in the city with freezing drizzle and will go out with a blizzard. The temperature is expected to fall to -14 C this afternoon and the windchill will hit -26 as winds gust to 60 km/h.
A full-fledged blizzard will hit Winnipeg by tonight with a snowfall of 10 to 15 cm, winds north at 50 km/h gusting to 70 km/h and a wind chill of -34.
Natalie Hasell, warning preparedness meteorologist at Environment Canada, said she's tracking a Colorado low system that's currently sitting in the northern part of South Dakota but is expected to move into southeastern Manitoba this afternoon.
"The enhanced snow will start later today. We're expecting the conditions to be really bad," she said.
If you don't absolutely have to drive today and Saturday, she recommends staying off the roads.
"You should reschedule whatever you planning on doing. If you've got a business meeting, see if it can be done by teleconference," she said.
A number of highways, including Trans-Canada East and Highway 75, are ice covered, and motorists are strongly encouraged to drive with caution.
Brad Milne, road information clerk with Manitoba Infrastructure and Transportation, said sanding and salting crews have been dispatched and he's hopeful they can stay ahead of the weather.
The blizzard is expected to end Saturday morning, when winds will still be 40 km/h gusting to 60 km/h but diminishing around noon. The forecast high is -19 C with a windchill of -35.
Sunday and Monday will be sunny and cold with highs in the low minus 20s but Tuesday should provide a brief reprieve with periods of snow and a high of 1C.
More seasonal temperatures are forecast to return by mid-week.
A reminder to Winnipeggers that the annual Snow Route Parking Ban remains in effect from to March 1, and vehicles are prohibited from parking on designated snow routes between the hours of 2 a.m. and 7 a.m. Tickets of $100 ($50 if paid early) will be issued, and vehicles might also be towed.

Ah, is that where it is? I remember seeing the option once upon a time but I couldn't find it in the logical places. Kind of how "shut down system" is hidden under "personal settings."
well to shutdown you just hold down the guide button for several seconds and the option will pop up. For rumble, go to personal settings, then Vibration.
I have them set to 'rough' it just occurred to me, does having rumble on affect the battery life at all? I've always had it disabled and the controller charge seems to last forever.
I don't see how it couldn't affect battery life.

I have a question about the recipe "Slow Roast Duck" from merrill. How can one 5 pound duck serve 6-8 people? Seems much to small to me.
I think you are right. The recipe should call for 2 ducks to feed that many and it's certainly easy enough to double. Check M's headnote for the recipe.
Merrill is a co-founder of Food52.
I find duck to be fairly rich, so I usually find myself eating less of it than chicken. In my house, a 3-to-4-pound chicken typically serves 4 to 6 people, and a 5-pound duck is definitely enough for 6 (8 may be a stretch, but there are usually some who eat lightly). Of course, you can make 2 ducks if you have all enthusiastic eaters!

Nope. Tom Brady threw the ball behind him. Circus catch if he came down with it. Don't be a dick, Welker was good for us and we had no one to throw to him. Hell we got two picks for him (an undrafted guy) and we **** those picks away on Satele and Abraham? We ****ed that one up. Welker is damn awesome and you guys know it.

Correct me if i am wrong but didn't Welker leave us and then become the leading catcher in the league AND broke Pats records for receptions in a season? After reviewing a bit i see Brady threw outside away from the safety, and it did hit both of his hands. Welker is a good guy though, he was never a distraction down here and the guy is money. Bitter folks on here, but i understand..............we gotta get some W's to change this culture.

Red Hat Announces Beta Availability of Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform 5.0
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
May 13, 2014
Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform team
Red Hat is pleased to announce the beta availability of Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform 5.0, our offering that combines the power of Red Hat Enterprise Linux with Red Hat OpenStack technology to deliver a scalable and secure foundation for building an open private or public cloud. The combination of these two powerful technologies can benefit users who are exploring the early stages of an OpenStack deployment or moving their resources into an open hybrid cloud environment with a solution like Red Hat Cloud Infrastructure.
The beta release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform 5.0 includes both OpenStack Icehouse, the newest version of the rapidly maturing open source cloud software platform, and the beta of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7, the next version of Red Hat's flagship operating platform, continuing our efforts to deliver an enterprise-class OpenStack offering. Shortly following will be a second release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform 5.0 supporting Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6. Red Hat will maintain these dual versions for a period of time to support both Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 and 7, so customers can choose the distribution that best complements their current operating system.
This beta release includes important advancements in compute, storage, and networking for users who want to gain a holistic OpenStack experience based on the security and stability of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Additionally, Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform 5.0 beta brings significant installation and configuration enhancements, helping to simplify OpenStack deployments for new users. There are hundreds of updates and new features included in this release. However, here is a highlight of some of the new key advancements.
Advancements in Compute
A new compute API enhancement facilitates the use of Instance-groups, which provides affinity and anti-affinity policies to determine how virtual machines must be scheduled in relation to hosts within a group. These new policies ensure specific application workloads are either grouped together or prevented from being scheduled on the same host, ensuring optimal performance without overload and providing fault-tolerance when necessary.
Updates to Cinder Storage Capabilities
An updated OpenStack Block Storage (Cinder) Backup API offers new functionality that allows for the export and import of backup service metadata. While the ability to back up data already exists in the API, the Icehouse release introduces the ability to include the Cinder database metadata, which is critical for data restoration in the event of a disaster recovery.
Enhanced Networking Plugins
The new Modular Layer 2 (ML2) plugin for OpenStack Networking (Neutron) in Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform 5 beta now eases the addition of new Layer 2 networking technologies and continues to provide support for existing plugins, including Open vSwitch. The new ML2 plugin also enables Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) PCI passthrough, which improves network performance by enabling traffic to bypass the software switch layer. This is important for customers with heterogeneous network environments who want to mix plugins for networking systems.
Additionally, there is now an OpenDaylight driver for the ML2 plugin, enabling communication between Neutron and OpenDaylight to help create a solid foundation for NFV (Network Functions Virtualization) technologies.
Easing Enterprise OpenStack Deployments with New Installation and Configuration Enhancements
The full GA release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform 5 will also introduce an improved, robust OpenStack installer for those making their way to an OpenStack cloud. The new installer, expected to debut in the upcoming RHEL-OSP 5.0 GA, will integrate through a plugin for Foreman. The Foreman open source project gives system administrators the power to easily automate repetitive tasks, quickly deploy applications, and proactively manage servers, on-premises or in the cloud, this new installer will greatly simplify the initial OpenStack deployment and ensure the healthy development of a complete OpenStack infrastructure. Features will include a simple step-by-step "wizard-style" graphical user interface (GUI) that will guide users through the deployment process and installation complexities.
