Here's your chance for that BIG RC submarine model - as Pete Piekarski would say - at a "bargain basement, firesale price!"
BIG 1/48 scale Gato Hull (almost 6 1/2 feet long!) and water tight cylinder.
Comes with conning tower, planes and rudders, misc plans of USS Cobia and a (used) D&E WTC 3.5 mod 2 (2 motors) and building stand. The hull is barely started - just a little priming and sanding work on the conning tower.
I see that a 1/48 Gato hull now costs almost $400 and a two motor 3 1/2" WTC costs $365. For the math challenged, it would cost $765 for the whole outfit new.
$425 - will not ship, but free delivery to SubRegatta 2010!

^ How I feel about the Colts Offense right about now ^When I was released, a lot of my friends were like, I guess you are probably going to go to the Patriots to play with Tom Brady, and I'm like 'you all must not know about that kid down in Indy. Andre Johnson said of Andrew Luck
What do you guys think of these Goalie rumors?? Thomas will be close to 40 years old won't he!?
and Longo used to be one of the best in the game, its almost mental now
Ohio St8te BuckeyesNational Champions
I don't want Lu, or at least not with that contract. Thomas was still good last year, so that I wouldn't object too.
Apparently Lu doesn't want us!
Roberto Luongo is reportedly not willing to waive his no-trade clause to head to Toronto or Chicago.
That could change, but if it doesn't, that might tie the Vancouver Canucks hands. The Toronto Maple Leafs are believed to be the team most interested in Luongo's services. At the same time, if this report is true, then it should greatly increase the odds that the Leafs are going to attempt to bolster their goaltending through the free agent market.
Ohio St8te BuckeyesNational Champions
The feeling is mutual...

I'm not that hockey saavy so I have a few questions for you guys...
What's considered old for a goalie in hockey or past their prime?
Does a team usually have one goalie and stick with him every night or have a rotational system like the Hawks?
If the team felt Leddy was ready to start, and Keith would be available for trade, what type of goalie could he net back?
Do the Hawks need a goalie or is Crawford the guy for now and the future?
Thanks guys
You may think you know but you're horribly blind...
This. I'm fairly certain he will be, and I respect the hell out of him for it too. He's doing it for the right reasons.
From his page:
From the earliest age I can remember, I've wanted to be a hockey player. I've been blessed in my life to not only be able to live that dream, but to achieve more than I ever thought possible.
The singleminded focus that is necessary to accomplish a dream of this magnitude entails (by necessity) sacrifice in other areas and relationships in life.
At the age of 38, I believe it is time to put my time and energies into those areas and relationships that I have neglected. That is why at this time I feel the most important thing I can do in my life is to reconnect with the three F's.
Friends, Family, and Faith.
This is what I plan on doing over the course of the next year.
On top of this, I will continue to train using the ARP/POV system www.ultrafitevosport.com and work with G-Form www.g-form.com in the development of protective equipment.
What does this portend for the future?
We'll see .God's will be done.
34/35+ I would say is well-past prime, but the elite are still able to perform that late into their careers.
A team typically has a go-to (unless you are fortunate enough to be the St. Louis Blues) guy that gets ~65%+ of the starts (depending on how good they are).
Keith is too valuable (at least in my opinion given our already talent barren blue line) to trade. He could get a notch-below-elite level goalie in return though if he was dealt.
Crawford is adequate but nothing special. You saw in this year's playoffs the importance of a great/hot net-minder. Improving the blue line would do wonders for Crawford and make him look above average and serviceable enough to win another cup (I mean, Niemi...)
I think Crawfod can get the job done if the defense would take care of their own ****.

ATVs are useful as utility vehicles when more than a garden tractor, but less than a compact tractor is necessary.
I believe there are some electric models out there, but I'm not sure of their work value.
I still didn't see a snowplow, winch kits, or any agricultural attachments. And I would like to see independent results of pulling power, and long term maintenance costs.
I hadn't thought of it for use as a tractor in my original post. I was thinking more about their potential for recreational use, as slower and quieter alternatives to ATVs and snowmobiles.
That brings up an interesting point however, the efficiency and effectiveness of tractors. For some work, it is not the power that matters, but the pulling force that can be generated. I understand this depends to a large part on the weight of the tractor, for which the weight of batteries doesn't hurt. Shetland ponies are also very competitive in this respect, even though they might only be half a horsepower. For travelling greater distances at speed the weight of batteries does start to become a serious disadvantage compared to diesel and gas engines. Regarding the total efficiency of electric vehicles, one might consider the product of several factors, including some or all of the following. If you are using solar or wind power then some might not apply.
1. Generation Efficiency - typically 35% at thermal generating stations.
2. Distribution Efficiency - depends on distance, but usually 95% or better.
3. Conversion Efficiency - AC to DC might typically be 80-95%.
4. Battery Charging Efficiency - Varies with application, buy typically 60-90%.
5. Battery Charge Retention Efficiency - Varies with application, but generally >95%.
6. Battery Discharge Efficiency - Varies with application, buy typically 60-90%.
7. Battery Payload Efficiency - If battery is 50% of vehicle weight, this might be 50-75%.
8. Utilization Efficiency - Depends on how you measure it, but motors are ~ 90%.
So for a plug in electric car perhaps you might get somethink like:
35% x 98% x 90% x 90% x 98% x 70% x 75% x 90% = 13%
It is important to know what to include and what not to include when making a fair comparison. A light neighbourhood electric vehicle might be more efficient than a regular car, but would it be more efficient than the same light vehicle with a small diesel? Probably depends on range. But say you are commuting to work in a Smart Car that weighing 1700 pounds, and you only weigh 170 pounds, then even if the diesel engine was operating at 20-40% thermodynamic efficiency most of the time what is the real efficiency? How much work should be required to get that 170 pound person to work safely? For that matter, how far should you have to drive? The efficiency of our vehicles is mostly limited by how our cities are built, how heavy and fast the other vehicles are flying at you, and where we choose to live and work. Similarly, how do you measure the efficiency of agricultural or silvicultural work? How much work is actually needed. How much work should be required to pull stumps cultivate soil or haul stuff around? How do you compare the efficiency and productivity of methods like three sisters or coppicing? Somehow we need to equate land use with energy use and GHG emmisions in order to make fair comparisons. Particularly for smaller homesteaders on locations where land might be relatively cheap, it might be worth considering alternative methods to emulating the operations and equpment of large agricultural and forestry operations. Perhaps a post hole digger instead of tractor or rotor tiller. Or perhaps just a shovel and a bush axe.
Something happened to your post.
Maybe you could break you thoughts down into something smaller.
Sorry about that. I lost some of it, but I'm sure it will come back to me. :)
I would assume that a small homesteader would look for the least expensive, smallest, most efficient way to do most things.
You know new engines are good but lets remember that what is the best source of energy are our own feet. Bicycles are also quick and clean. I have bought new bike and tried it out really excelent quality but the design didnt quite speak to me. I changed it at bicycle motor they have chrommed it and now it looks a lot better if you have that bike i really advice to do the same. What i was trying to show is that there is a lot of veraiety in this businees. Every one will find something that's great for him/Her.
We're homesteaders Adam... so we were discussing moving people/cargo over sometimes less than smooth terrain. The concept of the electric golf cart/UTV/ATV also was for the advantage of having a battery bank and power backup.
Sorry. Another thoughtless thought experiments. LOL.
OK. The idea is to build an slow quiet energy efficient ATV, based the Honda EU1000i.
900w of AC, plus 96w DC, for 18% efficiency combined at rated power. 50 pounds.
At 25% output efficiency drops to about 9%. Does the DC drops proportionally ???
We can run on battery power some of the time, using 2-4 hub motors, 400w each.
Their efficiency peaks at 80% @ 25% power, about 100w each. Weight is 13 pounds each. For more power and traction and more effiency at higher power, you could have 4 hub motors. For less weight and running efficiently and quietly off batteries at lower power, just 2 hub motors. You would need an AC to DC converter also, to run these DC motors off the AC generator. Alternatively you might have an AC motors in addition to the two DC motors, or something like that, but the hub motors keep it simple and eleiminate transmission losses, and when running directly off the generator you eliminate the battery losses, so we can take the bullet on the converter losses. Converter efficiency might average 80%. Batteries would be sized to keep average charging and dicharge efficiency down to 80% also. Charging would be at 100w when running motors off generator. Discharging would be at 200w on average for silent running, but capable of up to 800w on short hills without having to kick the generator on, though you would for a longer hill. Two keep the battery cost down, without adding two much weight, lets just look at some common deep cycle batteries. The hub motors are 24v, so lets look at a couple of these babies:
Totals for 2 x 12v, 164 pounds total
120 AH at 5hr rate = 576watts for up to 1 hours to 40% discharge
150 AH at 20 hr rate = 180 watts for up to 2.5 hours to 20% discharge before recharging.
With the generator this much battery is probably overkill, but shows that lead acid will work. You could recharge on the long fast stretches or the long uphills, and run off batteries on scenic bits. The generator is pretty quiet though, 56db at 25% and 59db at 100%, but not silent. This could be just a regular golf cart or gator plus generator and charger, but I think it would be neat to build your own out of rugged mountain bike parts. The intent is a maximum speed of only 30mph, and a normal cruising speed of about half that. Using hub motors without gears and freewheeling gets a bit complicated if you want such a range of speed and there are hills, but we will overlook that for not. The idea is to be able to freewheel, or perhaps regenerative braking, but in any case definitely keep the rolling resistance and friction losses to a minimum, so I have electric bike technology in mind more so than normal golf cart technology or electric car technology, and so the top end speed needs to be kept within reason also to keep the stresses and weights down.
What sort of fuel economy might be expected? It would depend mostly on the total weight and trail surface at cruising speeds, but somewhat on wind resistance on roads at max speeds.
Lets say the total weight = 50 pound generator + 26 pounds motors + 164 pounds batteries = 240 pounds. Add another 360 pounds for vehicle and payload for 600 pounds total. Let's say the average ground surface and wind resistance is equal to 2% of vehicle weight, for 12 pounds of drag, or about 50 newtons. In cruise mode at 200w the speed would be 4 m/s = 9mph. The average fuel consumption for this mode would be 0.6 gal every 3.8 hours for 700w allowing 30% losses for converting and charging and discharging. So 9 miles x 700/200 / 0.6 gal = 52.5 mpg. On hard pavement it sould be double that however, even at 20mph. At more agressive speeds on harder surfaces there would be more wind resistance, but the converting and charging and discharging losses would not be all that different in total, so you would still get about 50mph at speeds up to 30mph depending on how much air drag there is. On the other hand, if you were to charge it very slowly at home, plugged in, and just go for a leisurely 5 hour Sunday drive, up to 50 miles, you would only pay for about 1.5 kwh, 15 cents or so. Even in $1.50/gallon terms that's the equivalent of 500mpg. You could still bring the genny, and 1/2 a gallon of gas, just in case you don't make it all the way back before the batteries get down to 60%. If you are off-gridding it, charging at home energy costs would be higher, but perhaps half as on the road, so plug in to wind power might get you the equivalent of 100mpg. The beauty of this if your off-grid is you could use the same batteries and generator from the home system, as long as you equalize the module before you put it back in parrallel with the others. You could also produce hydrogen during peak wind power rather than store it. Hydrogen conversion of gas engines is supposed to reduce power somewhat, but boost efficiency. I wonder what it might take to convert a Honda Generator to run off a propane tank full of hydrogen ???

This program examines the factors driving internal and international migration in Morocco and elsewhere in North and sub-Saharan Africa. Students consider how human mobility is shaped by religion, security, youth culture, desertification, poverty, and other pressing issues and how mobility engenders transnational art and multilayered identities. Students contextualize the social and psychological impact of migration through discussions with Moroccan residents in the Netherlands.
The Migration and Transnational Identity program examines the multifaceted factors — including historical, economic, political, and cultural forces — spurring migration, with a particular focus on Morocco.
The program is located at the Center for Cross Cultural Learning, housed in a beautiful, nineteenth-century Moorish style riad in Rabat's centuries-old medina. Rabat's medina dates back to the sixteenth century when it was founded by Moorish refugees fleeing Spain after the fall of Granada. The Center is ideally situated near important cultural sites students often wish to explore, including the twelfth-century Kasbah Oudayas and the Ville Nouvelle, established by the French colonial administration at the beginning of the twentieth century.
From the program base in Rabat, students begin thematic coursework, intensive language instruction in both Modern Standard Arabic and 15 hours of Moroccan dialect, and the Research Methods and Ethics course. Cultural immersion is greatly facilitated through an eight-week homestay with a working- or middle-class Moroccan family.
During the program's excursion to the Netherlands, students meet with Moroccan immigrants and learn firsthand about various patterns of integration and marginalization. The excursion features lectures by local academics, NGO activists, and second-generation Moroccan/Dutch elected officials.
The excursion is also an opportunity to revisit many of the conceptual topics and theoretical discussions explored in the classroom, including immigrants and Islam in Europe, the perception of Moroccan immigrants in the Netherlands, the role of NGOs in the promotion of human rights for immigrants, and immigrant youth and identity.
Students travel as a group across the north of Morocco to the cities of Al Hoceima and Berkane and the border town Nador. Shortly after flying to Amsterdam, students see firsthand many of the conceptual topics and theoretical discussions explored in the classroom, including the cross-border labor force and Morocco-EU relations.
Since most Moroccan migrants in the Netherlands come from the northeast of Morocco, students gain a better sense of the socioeconomic and cultural environment these migrants originally come from. While learning about these migrants' daily lives before crossing the Mediterranean, students can have a multi-sited learning experience that includes the sending and the host migration countries.
The program convenes regular discussion groups between SIT students and Moroccan university students at both Mohammed V University in Rabat and Iben Tofail University in Kenitra. Held both in and outside of the classroom, these discussions are an excellent opportunity to engage in cross-cultural dialogue with Moroccan youth.
Topics for discussion may include youth and migration, gender issues, religion, human rights, and the influence of Europe. SIT students have the opportunity to attend lectures at Mohammed V University with their Moroccan peers, while Moroccan students are invited to attend select lectures and field visits organized by SIT.
Students work closely with their academic director and an advisor to design an Independent Study Project (ISP) on a topic that pertains to migration, mobility, or transnational identity. The ISP provides each student with an opportunity to pursue original research on a specific aspect of migration that pertains to the student's academic interests or personal inclination. The ISP is conducted in Rabat or in another approved location in Morocco appropriate to the project.
Sample topic areas for the ISP include:
The Migration and Transnational Identity course examines the historical, economic, political, and cultural underpinnings of migration. The approach is informed by the reality that migration is more dynamic than static push-pull models or simplified economic or demographic interpretations can reflect. Rather, the course challenges the student to approach migration from a multidisciplinary perspective in which migration is only one constituent part of more complex economic, development, demographic, and cultural processes. The Research Methods and Ethics course addresses culturally appropriate, ethical field methodology in the context of migration issues, in preparation for the Independent Study Project (ISP). Study of Arabic opens windows into the culture and the program's theme.
Links to syllabi below are from current and forthcoming courses offered on this program. Because courses develop and change over time to take advantage of dynamic learning opportunities, actual course content will vary from term to term.

Migration and Transnational Identity – syllabus
(AFRS 3000 / 3 credits / 45 class hours)
This course provides the main context for students to engage academically, epistemologically, and intellectually with the theme of migration and mobility. Students utilize a multi-level and multi-disciplinary approach that considers core issues of local and global cultural politics, development policies and their implications on national economies, local communities, and human rights, all in the context of transnational mobility. The course facilitates the student's development of critical perspectives capable of assimilating the reality of interconnectedness and transnationalization not only of problems, but more important, of viable alternatives. The course is divided into modules, which explore the following themes: culture and the Mediterranean space; sub-Saharan African immigrants in Morocco and trans-Saharan crossings and related issues of human rights and refugee status; Moroccan immigrants in Europe and development; gender and migration, and social movements and transnational identities. Throughout the course, readings and class discussions address issues of religion, race, gender, identity, undocumented and underage migrants, citizenship, and nationality.
Beginning Modern Standard Arabic – syllabus
(ARAB 1000–1500 / 6 credits / 90 class hours)
Intermediate Modern Standard Arabic – syllabus
(ARAB 2000–2500 / 6 credits / 90 class hours)
Advanced Modern Standard Arabic – syllabus
(ARAB 3000–3500 / 6 credits / 90 class hours)
The course is designed to equip students with a proficiency level in spoken Modern Standard Arabic in order to engage in everyday communication. The course integrates the skills of reading, writing, listening, grammar, vocabulary, and conversation. Students with prior study in Arabic will find reinforcement of Modern Standard Arabic through the media. Homestays, field excursions, and everyday interactions assist in language acquisition.
Research Methods and Ethics – syllabus
(ANTH 3500 / 3 credits / 45 class hours)
This course is designed to provide firsthand and experiential knowledge about the richness and challenges of conducting field study in Morocco. It provides the necessary conceptual and methodological thread that enables the student to learn from experience, to apply the knowledge and skills gained in language study and the thematic course, and to prepare to undertake field study in Morocco in strict observance of research procedure involving human subjects and the regulatory ethical norms defined by the Institutional Review Board. At the end of the course, the student should have the cultural understanding and the methodological tools to successfully complete an Independent Study Project. The course is also designed to answer specific concerns that research on migration generally raises. Migration involves minors, undocumented migrants in transit, friends and families of victims of clandestine migrants, policy makers, and international organizations. The lectures address issues that pertain to research methods, confidentiality and anonymity of informants, data gathering and interviewing, and safety and migrant psychology. Individual meetings are scheduled throughout the course to address research objectives and expectations of each student.
Independent Study Project – syllabus
(ISPR 3000 / 4 credits / 120 class hours)
Conducted in Rabat or another approved location in Morocco appropriate to the project. Students work closely with their academic director and a local advisor to design and build their Independent Study Project (ISP). Sample topic areas: creating a common culture among Moroccans and sub-Saharan Africans through Gnawa music; the relationship between the Kingdom of Morocco and its residents abroad; the incorporation of migration into death experiences within and beyond Morocco; the consequences of irregular migration on racial perceptions; the spiritual, geographical, and musical origins of flamenco in the Maghreb; unpacking the social, cultural, and historical aspects of Moroccan migration.

Please note that in order to take advantage of dynamic learning opportunities, program excursions may occasionally vary.
The largest excursion on the program allows students to trace the path of Moroccans emigrating from northeast Morocco to the Netherlands. In this across-borders excursion, students are able to examine the complex impact of migration on both the sending and host countries.
The vast majority of Moroccan immigrants in the Netherlands (around 75%) are from the northeast of Morocco. Consequently, the program travels to Al Hoceima, Nador, and Berkane in Morocco's northeast to enable students to situate migration in its cultural, historic, and economic contexts.
In Berkane, students learn about return migrants and their family stories from the Netherlands. Through the program's partner, the Dutch-Moroccan foundation for return migrants, students learn about forced female return migration from the Netherlands, families left behind, and stories of transnational families in Morocco and northern Europe.
In the city of Al Hoceima students meet with activists involved in issues of migration, gender, memory and history of the region, and local development. Students also learn about identity-based movements with political and cultural claims that distinguish this region from the rest of the country.
Students also learn about and visit nongovernmental organizations working in collaboration with Moroccan government and international aid agencies such as the Spanish organization MPDL (Movemiento por la Paz) on opening the Rif region and improving people's conditions. These NGOs are providing vocational skills trainings and experience. The Moroccan National Initiative for Human Development (Initiative National pour le Développement Humain NDH) has a base in Al Hoceima and in the national park west of Al Hoceima.
In both the border town of Nador and the island of Badis, students learn about Moroccan-Spanish border dynamics. Through site visits to Nador, students observe and talk to human rights activists about immigrants' attempts to challenge fortress Europe fences and militarized borders. In the island of Badis, students observe the arbitrariness of borders where Spain and Morocco are separated by a Spanish outpost on Moroccan soil.
Other NGOs the program may visit include:
During the program's excursion to Amsterdam, students consider the growing presence of Moroccans in Europe, particularly in the Netherlands. Students typically have the chance to do the following:
Students are also immersed in many of the central debates surrounding the growing Muslim presence in Europe, including the varied reactions of Dutch politics and the rise of anti-immigrant/anti-Muslim parties, "success stories" of Muslim migrants and issues surrounding "integration," and ideological constructions of Muslim identity.
The program may also spend some time in Leiden and The Hague. During the eight-day excursion, students stay in guest houses and hotels.
The program's third excursion is a village stay in Fqih Ben Saleh, where students explore the many different causes of migration while considering its impact on the cultures and societies of several rural areas within Morocco.
Fqih Ben Saleh is a small town in Beni Mellal Province in the Tadla-Azilal plains, whose recent socioeconomic growth has been largely determined by remittances from Moroccan emigrants. Students meet with the staff and volunteers of local migrant associations and discuss the dynamic relationship between development and migration. Students also meet with local youth to compare their perspectives on migration and disenfranchisement and their perceptions of Europe and the US.
This village stay gives students the opportunity to gain firsthand experience of the impact migration has had on a local economy and culture. They also have a chance to engage in a roundtable discussion with people from local communities on the issues of migration and development.
During the four- to five-day excursion, students live in Fqih Ben Saleh in the homes of local families. Most of the families have relatives living abroad, which allows students to experience the dynamics of migration from the perspectives of families who have remained in Morocco.

Living with a host family is an integral component of the Morocco: Migration and Transnational Identity program. Homestays provide students with a unique window into the daily life, values, and perspectives of Moroccan families as well as an opportunity to practice language skills, particularly darija (Moroccan Arabic), and in some cases also French. The program contains two homestay experiences in very different environments, illustrating to students the enormous differences between life in urban and rural Moroccan communities.
Students live with middle- and working-class families in Rabat for eight weeks. Homestay families are located in the city's seventeenth-century medina, a captivating and historic area of Rabat with an original and independent architectural style.
With their host families, students experience Moroccan daily life, accompanying family members on regular activities such as shopping in the souk, going on café outings, and taking bread to the neighborhood faran (local bakery). They also have the opportunity to visit the hammam (Moroccan public bath). Homestays provide an opportunity to participate in family cultural events, which could include family weddings or newborn naming ceremonies. Students also may be invited by their host brother or sister to the weekly soccer match.
The homestay in Rabat is coordinated by the program's host institution, the Center for Cross Cultural Learning (CCCL), which has been collaborating with homestay families for more than a decade.
The four-day rural village stay in Fqih Ben Saleh, in the province of Beni-Mellal, offers students a different perspective on the host culture in contrast to the homestay in urban Rabat. Many customs and features of Moroccan culture derive from rural or agrarian traditions; the experience of living in rural homes sheds new light on Morocco's cultural norms.
The village stay is also an opportunity for students to learn about the realities of Moroccan ethnic groups and marginal rural communities distinct from the mainstream urban culture. This offers important insights on the historical formation of national identity and ways in which local ethnic or political power is maintained.
Other accommodations during the program include hostels, guest houses, or small hotels.

Will never replace C/C++ until they drop the GC, there's no real argument for GC in a systems language, using C++11 smart pointers feels really good.
Phoronix: D Language Still Showing Promise, Advancements
The D programming language continues to advance and show signs of promise as a high-quality computer programming language that may eventually prove competition for C. Last month there was the 2013 D programming language conference where a lot was discussed...
Will never replace C/C++ until they drop the GC, there's no real argument for GC in a systems language, using C++11 smart pointers feels really good.
Just as a heads-up, all the conference videos can also be found on YouTube here:
Nope. GC can actually be more efficient than manual memory management. And those who absolutely must go around it, it's easy to either turn it off or simply avoid using functions that invoke it. See this presentation for more information on the subject:
Yes. Have you looked at the presentation?
Not all standard library functions invoke it; and whenever you need to use something that does invoke it, and you do that sparingly, the GC won't slow you down. Again, refer to the presentations. Here they are using D in a game engine by avoiding GC. Here they are using D in a performance-critical environment and still have the GC enabled.
Well, GC can be more efficient than manual memory management, if the manual management is badly implemented .
D is more an alternative to C++ than to C, due to its high complexity and similar features. On the other hand, Go can be viewed as a better C (possibly slower and not as versatile, but with great improvements and simplicity.)
There is also Rust, which is exactly like D (C ABI compatible, focus on productivity and clarity, neat syntax) except it uses manual memory management if you really want it.
I always see D as the performance nuts Java or C# - you get native performance and garbage collection, better features (function pointers / references, lambdas, and contracts are wonderful, global scope, and C# delegates don't compare) and I see Rust as the functional programmers C++ (syntax brevity, less boilerplate, only downsides are that it carries over some syntax pitfalls).
The problem with GC is not speed, but lack of control, IMHO. I want to know when things get collected, for low level programming. So, the smart pointer idea works better than GC for that type of work, I think
I agree that D compares with C++, not C. I was surprised when I saw Michael's article.
Go, sure, it is interesting. I don't think it is a C replacement, but it might become a low level language of interest for many applications. What I have in mind is that easy multithreading will become more and more relevant. Where I work, we are using 24 virtual processors in our workstations. I can see 100 arm cores running desktops in a few years. Giving people a language that is 20% slower _per_ core, but allows them to easily distribute the code to a 100 threads, hell, isn't that sweet!
Another solution for the pointer, garbage collection problem is Automated Reference Counting:
Seems very promising, next big thing in programming languages.
Love the concept of ranges and slices in D.
Although using a syntax with open interval for the upper limit comes over a little non-intuitive and strange to me.
(Even saw an example that needed to do extra calculations because it was one less than the actual end.
The choice of how ranges work could have been better.)

Moments after the Denver Broncos gave the Carolina Panthers a good old-fashioned shellacking Sunday, they gave coach John Fox a game ball.
�There were a lot of motivating factors to help us win this game, and coach Fox was the biggest one,� Von Miller said.
Peyton Manning made sure Fox�s return to Carolina was successful, throwing for 301 yards and a touchdown, and the defense turned in a dominating performance to lead the Broncos to a 36-14 rout.
Manning threw his 420th touchdown pass to move into a tie for second place on the NFL�s list with his childhood hero Dan Marino. He trails only Brett Favre (508).
�I have never felt comfortable kind of being mentioned with him,� Manning said.
Manning had plenty of help from his teammates.
Linebacker Miller harassed Cam Newton all day, and Trindon Holliday returned a punt 76 yards for a touchdown as the Broncos (6-3) won for the fifth time in six weeks.
The Broncos sacked Newton seven times, including once for a safety, and Miller pressured him into an interception Tony Carter returned 40 yards for a score.
Fox spent nine seasons in Carolina before his relationship with owner Jerry Richardson dramatically deteriorated when the organization failed to offer him a contract extension.
So Sunday�s win was a taste of revenge, although Fox took the high road after the game.
�You just feel good to win,� Fox said. �You put a lot into these things. It is seven days of hard work and countless hours. It�s all for naught if you don�t win.�
Miller was all over the field and finished with a sack, forced fumble and four tackles for a loss.
�We want to be feared and respected for a relentless pursuit for the ball,� Miller said.
Denver�s defense put on a show, pressuring Newton all day and forcing him to make quick decisions that often resulted in mistakes.
�We changed up our protections, did a couple of things differently and they were still able to break through,� Panthers coach Ron Rivera said.
After a strong start, Newton finished 21 of 36 for 241 yards with two touchdown passes to tight end Greg Olsen. He threw two interceptions.
By the end of the game Newton looked tired, discouraged and a little beat up.
Despite spending most of the day on his back, Newton wouldn�t pass blame on his offensive line.
�This is the same offensive line that did an excellent job a lot of times (Sunday), so I�m not thrashing them.� Newton said. � ... I think personally I have to do a better job of getting the football out, getting it to my outlets.�
Miller, selected No. 2 in the 2011 NFL draft, one spot behind Newton, was a disruptive force right from the start.
He sacked Newton on the second series and celebrated by imitating Newton�s Superman routine, pretending to rip open his shirt.
The Panthers (2-7) appeared ready to give the Broncos a challenge early while playing in all-black uniforms, jumping to a 7-0 lead in the first quarter on a 4-yard pass from Newton to Olsen.
But it was all Broncos after that as they�d score 29 consecutive points.
After a slow start, Manning started to pick apart Carolina�s defense and was 16 of 20 for 135 yards, including a 10-yard touchdown pass to Brandon Stokley. With the game tied at 7, Holliday put the Broncos ahead with a nifty punt return for a controversial touchdown.
As Holliday sprinted the final 25 yards to the end zone alone and untouched, television replays appeared to show him flip the ball out of his hand in celebration about a yard before he reached the end zone.
In a pool report, NFL referee Al Riveron said, �The entire scoring play is reviewed,� and it was confirmed it was indeed a touchdown.
Said Holliday: �We had that problem last week, but I thought I got the ball across the goal line. I�ll have to go back and look.�
Prater later made it 17-7 on a 53-yard field goal.
Early in the third quarter, Charles Johnson sacked Manning and forced a fumble that Greg Hardy recovered.
But on the next play Miller grabbed Newton�s ankle in the backfield as he was trying to throw, and Carter stepped in front of the pass near the sideline and returned it for a touchdown and a 24-7 lead. Prater added another field goal, and Mike Adams sacked Newton for a safety to make it 29-7.
�I should have thrown it out of bounds,� Newton said. �I have to be more mature than that. It�s better to be second-and-10 than have a pick-6.�
Manning said after the game he was honored to be in the same company with Marino, who was his favorite playing growing up.
�Dan Marino, after my dad retired, was my favorite quarterback growing up,� Manning said, �so it is pretty much documented through the years when I have been asked about Dan Marino how I feel about him.�

Nyjer Morgan and Jim Riggleman butted heads before this season's bench-clearing brawl.
So Mike Shanahan and Donovan McNabb aren't exactly seeing eye-to-eye right now, huh? Rex Grossman gave the Redskins a better chance of winning in the final two minutes yesterday against one of the lowliest franchises in the NFL than the quarterback with six Pro Bowl appearances and a 96-53-1 career record as a starter?
Weren't these kind of controversies in Redskins Land supposed to disappear now that accomplished, sane people were in charge of the organization? Guess not.
Quarterback controversies, of course, are nothing new. Certainly not in this town, where the last QB who had actual job security might have been Sammy Baugh.
Coach vs. player controversies also are nothing new in the sports world. They happen every year in every town in every sport. They've even happened plenty of times in NatsTown over the last six years.
If you've forgotten these classic Nationals manager/player butting of heads, here's a refresher course…
You can be forgiven if you have no memory of this one. Honestly, how many of you even remember that John Halama pitched for the Nationals? But the journeyman left-hander did, and he actually started three games, including one on September 7 against the Marlins at RFKRead more »

One thing I'd like to point out about the Soriano incident. I recall that the real catalyst for getting Soriano into LF was his agent telling him that being place on the disqualified list put his free agency at risk, at season's end. Any time on the disqualified list does not count as service time towards free agency.
- Doc - Nov 1, 2010 at 3:34 PM
Lots to comment on here, Mark. F. Robinson is on record as hating pitchers—probably for good reason.Rex Grossman has, at least for most of his career, been under-rated. Although some of the criticisms are probably valid. In his last full starting career as Bears' QB, Grossman's receivers let him down more than anything.Neither Orton, nor Cutler have demonstrated any greater degree of winning success in Chicago, i.e., like Grossman's putting the team in a Super Bowl.

How about 2005 when Tomo Okho (sp?) turned his back on Frank Robinson when the latter came in to pull him from the game.
- NatsJack in Florida - Nov 1, 2010 at 4:02 PM
Thanks Danny…. That was one I was going to mention. I seem to remember that he was gone in less than 48 hours after that.

Wasn't there some sort of dust up between Ryan Church and Frank, too? Church was hurt and Frank didn't believe him….something like that?I guess boss/player disagreements happen in every walk of life. It's just in sports that it gets written about, and sometimes witnessed by tens of thousands of pairs of eyes. Fun topic though.
- natsfan1a - Nov 1, 2010 at 4:45 PM
Interesting post idea. Like NatsJack, I was going to mention Frank and Tomo Ohka (not sitting in a tree, not k-i-s-s-i-n-g), but I see that Danny beat us to it.My (possibly hazy) memory of the Dukes/Acta incident was that Dukes slapped him on the butt or some such upon returning to the dugout, whereupon Manny lost his balance (physically and emotionally). Later, Dukes didn't high-five Acta in the postgame celebration.There was also the memorable occasion when Frank yanked LeCroy, but I don't believe there was any personal conflict there. LeCroy had simply been put in a situation that wasn't, um, optimal for his throwing skills.

"He just basically did a Cardinal sin," Morgan said. "You don't blast your player out in the paper."Would that be a St. Louis Cardinal sin, an Arizona Cardinal sin, a Stanford Cardinal sin or a Roman Catholic Cardinal sin, Mark? Or was it perhaps just a lower case cardinal sin, as in car·di·nal /ˈkɑrdnl/[kahr-dn-l] –adjective 1. of prime importance; chief; principal: of cardinal significance.?
- Feel Wood - Nov 1, 2010 at 5:10 PM
What about the epic 2010 season-long battle of starters John Lannan, Livan Hernandez and Scott Olsen vs Quick Hook Jim Riggleman? Olsen and Lannan both made it eminently clear either verbally or non-verbally that they were unhappy with Riggleman's quick hooks and implied lack of confidence in their ability to work out of a jam. I think there were also several times when Livo felt he should have been left in longer, but in keeping with his personality he did not make such a big deal out of it.

There was also the memorable occasion when Frank yanked LeCroy, but I don't believe there was any personal conflict there. LeCroy had simply been put in a situation that wasn't, um, optimal for his throwing skills. Indeed. If I recall correctly, Frank R was choked up and literally had tears in his eyes when describing, afterward, his having to remove LeCroy. He said he hated to embarrass him like that. But LeCroy had already given up seven stolen bases, and the Astros had just put the tying run on base.As far as Tomo Ohka goes — yes, Tomo got traded within a few days if I recall. How many remember that Tomo's first game with his new club he threw a complete game shutout!

The Ohka one was the big one that Mark didn't list, but wasn't there a big dust up between Brad Wilkerson and Jose Guillen with Robinson taking Guillen's side? I think it started with Guillen taking Wilkerson's number 6 against his wishes and it lasted all season long. Not sure how much of it made the papers at the time and I think a lot of it has remained untold, but there was some mentioning of it in Barry Svulga's excellent book. (Mark, you should do one!)

I was at that Marlins game in 2005. John Halama wasn't the only one who was stunned. Frank proceeded to burn through the entire bullpen and the Nats lost 12-1. And then dropped three of their next four games.Wasn't there also a game that year when Robinson came out of the dugout in the middle of a pitcher's at bat and proceeded to coach him on how to lay down a bunt?God bless him, he was a great player, but is there anybody Frank Robinson didn't hate?

Regarding the Dukes-Acta incident, I was always suprised that the tenacious Nats media contingent wasn't able to get to the bottom of that one and let us know what happened…

Interesting that also, Intel corp, has confirmed that Linux is getting slower and slower. Maybe this is because Linux is getting more and more bloated?
"Citing an internal Intel study that tracked kernel releases, Bottomley said Linux performance had dropped about two per centage points at every release, for a cumulative drop of about 12 per cent over the last ten releases. "Is this a problem?" he asked.
"We're getting bloated and huge. Yes, it's a problem," said Linux Torvalds."
Maybe Linux should focus one release on bug fixes instead of introducing new functionality all the time? Just like Apple did. One of the recent big Mac OX S releases was devoted to only bug fixes and slimming down OS X. Which paid off.

Tonight's documentary, Who Bombed Judi Bari?, takes an in depth look at the events surrounding the attack on Earth First! organizers Judi Bari and Darryl Cherney. Bari and Cherney–who is one of our guests tonight, along with director Mary Liz Thomson–were visible, vital forces in the fight to end over-logging of redwood forests.
Who Bombed Judi Bari? is riveting. The film unfolds through Bari's deposition in the civil suit she and Cherney filed against the Oakland Police Department and the FBI in the wake of their 1990 arrest for transporting an explosive device, and utilizes news footage and on-the-scene videography of Earth First! rallies and protests to create an exciting and moving film.

I got about 16 fps on a HD3870(fglrx) on standard settings. I'm more interested in the difference between Windows and Linux. I couldn't test on my windows partition as the stupid thing has de-registered because of a HD ID change and couldn't get internet and serial to work.
On KDE the desktop messed up after exiting the demo. Fonts small and plasmoid-panels where changed. I have my desktop icons in a folder-view so I guess they would have been messed up too if they were placed at set positions on a desktop-view based desktop.

[edit] Region
40 Ringold St is located in outer SoMa (South of Market Street) - the area is known for "dot com" (technology) companies, light industrial businesses, shopping and residential dwellings (typically lofts or apartments). In general this part of town is considered "relatively safe" - that is, the typical metro large city common sense rules apply.
[edit] Public Transit
BART]'s Civic Center station is roughly 3 blocks away, Muni has a number of close-by bus lines: 14, 12, etc
[edit] Food
Within a few blocks a number of eatery options exist:
- Harvest Urban Market - a local version of Whole Foods meets Berkeley Bowl, with a sprinkle of Rainbow Coop. The produce area and pre-made goods are no where as extensive as Berkeley Bowl, but certainly a notch up from Safeway. They're believed to be open till 10ish and sell alcohol; vegetarians are recommenced here.
- CostCo - a proud example of American capitalism and "bigger is better". This membership warehouse has pizza, chicken caesar salads, hot dogs, roasted chickens, and "chicken bakes" (a mash-up of pizza crush meets left-overs of chicken salad) available for sale. Rotating specials in the rear of the store include oven-bakable pizza, sushi, pasta and other food items that are generally microwave'able. Costco requires a $50/year membership fee, closes @ 20:30 on weekends and
- Thai place
- Trader Joes
[edit] Other
Mr. S Leathers & Co - Largely considered the "Nordstorm" of BDSM & fetish gear; clearly not your typical seedy back-alley sex toy store. Infact, Mr. S sells a number of imported high quality toys and supplies along with extensive designs produced within their own walls; well worth dragging out-of-towners too.

"Does Fan Misbehavior Turn Off Other Fans' Going to the Game?"
Is Not Available At This Time.
Does Fan Misbehavior Turn Off Other Fans' Going to the Game?
Please enter your comments below.
I don't go because of the bad behavior
I suppose Kilgore cannot say "don't go to the Bill's games" but come on, "it's just a couple of people and the events are grossly exagerated"? Drunkeness, lewd and violent behavior are out of control at the football games! I have had free tickets offered to me but I will not go anymore because too many people cannot be trusted to behave and just have a good time. It is certainly not an event you can take children to.
amateur hours
I've been a Bills follower since OJ Simpson, and I've attended a lot of games both the regular start games and the evening games and I've seen it all at the games. I bought a RV tem years ago to be able to attend and enjoy the tailgating experience, but the crowds at the games are just too much to handle. All it takes is 1 or 2 or a group of highly intoxicated so called fans to ruin it for all around them. The non stop profanity, being challenged to a physical confrontation because you try and get it across to these morons that you're there to enjoy the game not to hear/see them perform. So we now don't go into the games we stay in the relative safety of the RV in the parking lot and enjoy the game on the dish.....Sorry Ed but you are way off base on this situation
game day
I would go to the games and sit in a private suite. Very comfortable and enjoyable. However after the game, sitting for two hours to get out of the parking lot killed the desire to go again.
Game Days
I really wish that all sporting venues would curtail drinking at games, especially football. I'm not being biased, because of my love for baseball, because those who remember the Giants fan that was attacked at Dodger stadium sickened me as a die hard Dodgers fan. When is comes to football, there are tailgaters and much more drinking than at other venues. I would like to see the impossible dream of banning ALL alcohol at these events
Shut up Ed...
I am going to take advice from a guy who has probably NEVER sat with the paying public?? No...Ed buddy sits in the heated/AC press box, gets free food at halftime and throughout the game, never has to wait to use the restroom, leaves the game after the place is empty. Shut up Ed!!

would use when pregnant - 2/26/2015 3:17:50 PM It does work and can be used when pregnant. I would recommend using it during night time only. However, it is sticky, not invisible, and smells a little funky.I love this product - 7/9/2014 8:43:03 PM Not kidding!! this is the best spot treatment i have ever had! IT WORKS!!Great while pregnant! - 6/17/2014 6:05:22 AM Although this did not completely clear my skin, it did help to shorten length of breakout. The spot treatment I can't live without! It helps with redness and irritation. The cleanser has a nice clean smell and always makes my skin feel fresh. Overall a great product to use if your looking for relief from breakouts. From my experience be religious with use and you should see a difference.Best Ever for Pregnancy Acne - 5/30/2014 3:21:40 PM I was blessed with good skin... until I got pregnant, that is! I started breaking out like a teenager, and it was not fun. I felt like I had to put on foundation every day just to feel presentable, and even then, I still looked like a pizza face. To top it off, most facial cleansers have salicylic acid or other harsh ingredients that they say you should avoid during pregnancy, so there wasn't much I could buy. I did lots of research and finally stumbled across this Belli Anti-Blemish wash, and within a couple of weeks, my skin was much, MUCH clearer, and the redness and zits were starting to disappear. This stuff is magic! Yes, it's kind of pricey for a facial wash, but it's worth every penny for your self-esteem. I'm in my third trimester now and haven't had a breakout since I started using it.Love it! - 4/3/2014 1:06:13 PM I love my face creams, but when I got pregnant I stopped using my usual creams to be extra cautious due to the ingredients. Came across this pregnancy line and I love this face cream! At first, it seems the consistency is thin, but a little goes a long way. Very lightweight, but it definitely moisturizes. Adds more of the "dewy" look to my already pregnancy glow :) Ordering my 3rd bottle today. This and the facial wash are must haves! (skip the belly oil, use honest company body oil and belly balm instead)ALWAYS had all types of blemishes - 2/11/2014 10:14:26 PM Always had facial blemishes and have tried EVERYTHING!!!!!! Then pregnancy blessed my life yet my face rebelled with more issues like severe redness/dryness around nose, chin..Needless to say I've been using this since my second month and Im going on number seven and its the only thing thats calmed the blemishes and the new issues. Its definitely worth trying for at least a month its not overnight magic but Ive tried other safe pregnancy facial cleansers and LOVE the results this one has provided.Dont delay purchasing like I did - 12/19/2013 10:52:08 AM I was very nervous about purchasing another acne medication. Since going off my birth control, my acne came back full force. I went to dermatologist and I still had breakouts! It was more terrible than in high school! How embarrassing as an adult, then I found out I was blessed with being pregnant. Which made it even harder to find something that worked and was safe! Purchase this product, my horrible acne cleared within days! I couldn't be happier!!!!Not so great product - 11/24/2013 10:04:00 AM It is nice to use a product that is safe for pregnancy. However, this is not a good moisturizer.Product Worked For Me - 10/2/2013 10:10:12 AM I have always struggled with acne and controlled it by using prescription topicals. Many common acne fighting ingredients (that work) are not recommend for use during pregnancy so I searched for any natural remedies I could find. This product has been the only non Rx, approved acne product I have found that WORKS for me. It does smell like sufur but it has not stained my clothing and the smell is worth it to me for clearer skin. The tube is very small but a little goes a long way. I use it on my face, chest, shoulders and back so I go through a tube/month almost. I would recommend this to anyone who struggles with severe, stubborn acne and wants a product that is safe and works. I use several other Belli products and have been very happy with them as well.Good product!! - 7/24/2013 9:36:03 AM Was having a lot of breakouts during my 1st trimester, bought the belli face wash & face scrub. The face scrub wasn't harsh or abrasive. Granules were a good size..not large as some face scrubs are. Had a good enough lather. Did not have any negative reactions or breakouts to using it. -

Quarriers cling to lead, hold on for conference win
A 21-point, first-half lead vanished late against Sioux Falls Christian, but the Quarriers hung on for the 61-57 win over the Chargers Tuesday, Jan. 14 in Dell Rapids.Effective ball movement had the Quarriers out and running through the first two quarters of play as they built toward a 43-21 lead at halftime."We played our best basketball of the season thus far in the first half," said Jason Fersdahl, head coach of the Quarriers. "Our pressure defense had SFC frustrated and we were able to convert their turnovers into transition points early."Dell Rapids forced 10 steals and blocked six shots.The Chargers continued to battle and chipped away at the deficit throughout the remainder of the game."We knew that Sioux Falls Christian was too good of a team to not make a strong second-half run, and they were able to do that in the fourth quarter," Fersdahl said.Poor shooting from the free throw line – the Quarriers shot 9 of 25 from the charity stripe – gave the Chargers hope until the final seconds ticked off the clock."Offensively, we got stagnant in the second half, and when you are not making free throws, things tend to tighten up even more," Fersdahl said.Dell Rapids senior Ty Hoglund led all scorers with 20 points. He also had a good night passing the ball, recording five assists. Cody Nielsen added 19 points for the Quarriers, and Zach White scored 16. White tallied eight rebounds.It took an extra five minutes of basketball to decide Saturday's game between the Quarriers and Cheyenne-Eagle Butte after a buzzer-beating putback by Dell Rapids' White sent the game to overtime. But consistent Braves shooting throughout the contest lifted CEB past the Quarriers for the 85-81 win in Dell Rapids."This was a very entertaining game that had the feel of a state tournament game, but unfortunately for us, we came up just short against a hot-shooting CEB team," Fersdahl said.The Quarriers jumped out to an early lead, and took a 27-15 advantage into the second quarter, but turnovers gave the Braves momentum that they rode for the rest of the game."Credit to them, they seized the momentum and then got really hot from the perimeter in the second half, and many of their made three pointers were from well beyond the NBA-range," Fersdahl said.White paced Dell Rapids with 21 points and 10 rebounds. Zane Schumaker added 17 points for the Quarriers, while Hoglund added 14 points and eight rebounds. Nielsen chipped in for Dell Rapids with 12 points and 12 rebounds. "I think this game can make our team a lot better and that we learned some things that we really need to work on to continue playing teams tough," Fersdahl said.Brave's guard Creighton LeBeau put on a show, making seven 3-pointers on his way to a 29-point night. Xavier Norris added 26 points for CEB."We knew coming in that Norris and LeBeau were great shooters who were capable of putting up a lot of points, and they did just that," Fersdahl said.The Quarriers entered this week with a 6-2 overall record, and 5-0 in Dakota XII Conference play.

When I was a kid, my mom had an old green Volkswagen bus, you know, similar to the one in Scooby-Doo; the iconic hippie-mobile. At the time I was really embarrassed by my mother's eccentric taste in automobiles, but looking back it made perfect sense. The beads in her hair, the penchant for woodworking, and the green VW bus all pointed to one thing—she was a TOTAL hippie. Naturally, hippies were the first thing that came to my mind when I saw The Big Green Bus pull into our parking lot here at Stone on Wednesday afternoon, leaving a pungent aroma of hash browns in its wake.
The Big Green Bus is a full-size bus (1989 MCI Motorcoach, to be exact) remodeled by 15 Dartmouth students to be as sustainable and energy efficient as possible. The students are taking their green labor of love on a summer-long cross-country tour to raise awareness about sustainability and energy-efficient practices. And it smells like hash browns because it runs on 100% recycled vegetable oil, not because the students have a deep affinity for breakfast fare.
At first glance, The Big Green Bus looks like a glorified version of my mom's old green VW bus, but that couldn't be father from the truth. "We spend a lot of time convincing people that we're not gross-smelling hippies," said one student, "most of us showered this morning." The Big Green Bus is much more than a meagerly-funded flower-child mobile with wicked green graphics. Along with running on biodiesel, the bus is also a mobile showcase of environmental conservation. Everything inside, from the low-energy plasma TV to the recycled bamboo flooring, is the epitome of energy efficiency.
If a summer-long tour on The Big Green Bus sounds like a great time, think again. These kids work hard. According to Kerry, it's about 90% work and 10% play. Not exactly your quintessential summer of love. Everywhere the students go they're greeted by news cameras and general media hubbub, and Stone was no exception. Escondido Mayor Lori Pfeiler, the folks at the California Center for Sustainable Energy, and a bevy of local media joined us in welcoming them to Stone on Wednesday afternoon.
So why did they come to Stone? Because they were hungry, of course (I guess word got out that our Bistro serves locally-grown, organic food). They also enjoyed a tour of the brewery and learned a bit about our solar array and our other efforts to operate sustainably. But most importantly, they came to fill up their tank with our Bistro's used vegetable oil—the same stuff that our Lead Brewer John Egan uses to power his truck.
We're stoked The Big Green Bus chose to stop and share a part of their journey with us, and we're glad we could help spread their message. If you spy a lumbering green bus speeding down the highway smelling like Sunday brunch at iHop, give those hard-working Dartmouth students a honk in support. They deserve it.
