Top Definition
A trustafarian peacock is an extremely image and fashion-conscious person, often with dreadlocks, who does not work but has access to plenty of money. A species of rich "glamour-hippie" who is particularly obsessed with dressing up sexy, preening, and showing off. They wear dreadlocks, tight-fitting custom leather, trendy tribal jewelry, sexy boots, masks, feathers, furs and fedoras. Unlike the traditional granola trustafarians who pretend to be poor and earthy – the peacock types like to flaunt their freedom and joy to the world. As it's hard for them to relate with most adults - they often form exclusive cliques of uber-fashionable adult "kids" with the same psychological issues and fully-subsidized lifestyles, often thinking of themselves as "costume performance artists" and post-modern dancers. Trustafarian Peacocks can most easily be sighted on the West Coast, and in places where former hippie influences have cross-bred with big money – such as San Francisco, Ashland, Maui, Bali and at the Burning Man festival.
That El Circo party was a total "who's who" of tribal-glam pousers and trustafarian peacocks.

Looks good on my EVO, colors are hot and not too feminine for a dude. No problems with delivery and the application process was a cinch. I would recommend the hi-gloss finish. No need to pay $2 extra for a satin finish which provides a dull finish to the skin. Get hi-gloss!Brandon Hoffman, United States

Find and fix bugs fast
Decompile, understand, and fix any .NET code, even if you don't have the source
Download free trialFollow bugs through your application to see where the problem is – your own code, third-party libraries, or components used by your application.
Inherited an application with no documentation and no comments? Use .NET Reflector to understand how the code runs and avoid bugs.
Third-party platforms aren't always well-documented. Use .NET Reflector to look inside their assemblies, and see how they work and which APIs you can call.
Decompile, browse, and analyze any .NET assembly to C#, VB.NET, or IL.
Use the standalone application to explore and navigate decompiled code.
Get results as you type and find what you're looking for easily.
Use your regular debugging techniques on any decompiled assemblies as if they were your own, using the Visual Studio debugger.
Generate .pdb files for decompiled assemblies and save them so you only need to enable debugging once for each assembly.
Assemblies decompile seamlessly in Visual Studio so source code is always available for your libraries.
Use F12 to "Go To Definition", F9 to "Set Breakpoints", and F11 to "Step Into" any decompiled code.
.NET Reflector supports C#5 and .NET 4.5 so you can decompile and learn async code at the same time.
.NET Reflector VSPro adds the Reflector Object Browser into Visual Studio. Use the tree view to navigate through code.
The ability to step into third–party code, including Microsoft SharePoint Server assemblies, opens up new possibilities and lets you understand what Microsoft's APIs are doing.
You can step right into their code and see what is happening, all from Visual Studio. This knowledge lets you build better applications and provides insight into undocumented APIs."
Using third-party technologies is a great way to get stuff done fast without re-inventing the wheel. But it's hard to debug libraries, components, and frameworks you didn't write.
.NET Reflector saves time and simplifies development by letting you see and debug into the source of all the .NET code you work with.
Follow bugs through your own code, third-party components, and any compiled .NET code you work with. You can see third-party code in Visual Studio, and debug into it just like your own.
Languages and libraries aren't always well-documented. Legacy code isn't always well-commented. Understand how APIs, components, frameworks, and all the critical code you use really works by decompiling and seeing inside.
Having the source code available means you're no longer blocked by poor or missing documentation. You can see how code runs, avoid bugs, and develop easily with third-party technologies.
NET Reflector has a comprehensive add-in model, with an API that lets you extend the tool to suit your exact needs.
The API also lets other tools take advantage of .NET Reflector's unparalleled decompilation and disassembly abilities to complement their own functionality. The best thing is, building your own add-in is painless.
Below are some great add-ins and tools which we recommend you try out, and there are more you can download.
We've done our best to find some of the best add-ins around, but you can still recommend other add-ins which you think we should feature. Or better still, why not write your own?
In addition to the add-ins below, Redgate has come up with the .NET Obfuscation Checker, a tool designed to work with .NET Reflector.
Obfuscation Checker scans a directory and inspects the assemblies and .exe files inside. It shows you which DLLs and executables are there, the references for each, and information about their obfuscation state and security level.
Obfuscation Checker uses .NET Reflector to decompile the assemblies, so you can quickly see the code in a .dll or .exe file. This lets you see what's obfuscated, and what isn't. For example, you can see how readable type names are and how easy it is to understand control flow.
Download .NET Obfuscation CheckerSmokeTest lets you invoke any member of a class interactively. An indispensable tool for anyone involved in developing, testing, and managing Windows .NET projects.
Assembly Visualizer is an open-source data visualization add-in, created for more convenient assembly investigation.
Snippy is a lightweight snippet compiler originally created by Jon Skeet for his book C# in Depth: What you need to master C# 2 and 3, and later turned it into a Reflector add-in by Jason Haley.

Writing after ftruncate
I didnt expect that I can write in the middle of nowhere. I thought that I would write at the beginning of the file but the first 4 bytes were filled automatically with NULLs followed by "56":
$str1 = 1234;
$str2 = 56;
$datei = "test.txt";
$dh = fopen($datei,"w");
fwrite($dh, $str1);
$dh = fopen ($datei,"r+");
echo "content: ".fread($dh, filesize($datei))."
";
echo "pointer after fread at: ".ftell($dh)."
";
ftruncate($dh, 0);
echo "pointer after truncate at: ".ftell($dh)."
";
fwrite($dh, $str2);
echo "pointer after fwrite at: ".ftell($dh)."
";
echo "pointer after rewind at: ".ftell($dh)."
";
$str = fread($dh, 6);
echo "content: $str
in ASCII: ";
for($i = 0; $i < 6; $i++)
echo ord($str{$i})."-";
content: 1234
pointer after fread at: 4
pointer after truncate at: 4
pointer after fwrite at: 6
pointer after rewind at: 0
content: 56
in ASCII: 0-0-0-0-53-54
So not only ftruncate is filling an empty file up with NULLs as in the note before. Fread is filling leading space with NULLs too.

Essential transmitter maintenance could affect BBC Shipping Forecast as the BBC's Droitwich transmitter will undergo essential maintenance during 2014. From approximately April to mid-August the 12:01 2014 shipping forecast will potentially be transmitted at a lower power or maybe inaudible on LW for that period. ...[more] World's most dangerous waters, by the WWF and Allianz By Lee Mylchreest, 6:54 AM Sat 5 Oct 2013 For we who might want to sail away into the sunset, we need to know that the ocean varies widely on the other side of that horizon. Apart from all the other knowledge we need to take with us, we should be aware of which are the most dangerous ocean areas on earth, just this year identified by a studies the WWF and insurance giant Allianz ...[more] Six basic rules for taking your pet sailing By Sail-World Cruising, , 8:15 AM Mon 2 Sep 2013 There are regulations covering the crew and visitors on your sailing boat, but what about your seafaring pets?

What happens if you take a Coast Guard office and fill it full of women? Give up? No, this is not a joke. The answer always was … the same as if it were all male (some would say, better). But this was a difficult learning curve for traditionalists in the USA. ...[more] WARNING against electronic flares By Sail-World Cruising, 12:08 PM Mon 10 Jun 2013 Britain's Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) has warned all sailors and other boaters that electronic flares will NOT substitute for the traditional pyrotechnic flare, while US Coastguard has commissioned a study. ...[more] Death report points to life raft stowage failure By BBC/MCA/Sail-World Cruising, , 8:04 AM Sun 2 Jun 2013 It's useless having a good life raft on board if it's not stowed so that it will deploy in an emergency. These were the sad findings of a report into the deaths of three fishermen when their boat sank. It might have been a fishing boat not a sailing boat, but the warning is equally pertinent for sailors. ...[more] Ready, set, wear your life jacket to work! By SOS Marine/Sail-World Cruising, , 6:59 AM Mon 20 May 2013 Aussie company SOS Marine announced today its support of 'Wear Your Life Jacket to Work' Day on May 17, 2013.

Here's eight safety tips so you will survive and enjoy your boating/sailing season: ...[more] More information emerges on America's Cup capsize By Sail-World Cruising Round-up, 7:24 AM Sun 12 May 2013 While much of the sailing world mourns the death of British Olympic sailing star and America's Cup strategist Andrew 'Bart' Simpson, widely reported on the racing sites of Sail-World, the design of the yacht Artemis is being questioned as cracking noises were heard by the crew before the main frame simply 'cracked like a taco', injuring some crew and killing Simpson. ...[more] Thailand: Armed robberies on sailing boats leave cruisers shaken By Chris Husted, Phuket Gazette/Sail-World Cruising, 7:08 AM Tue 7 May 2013 Recent armed attacks against yachties by thieves in Chalong Bay, Phuket, Thailand, is the first violence that the local cruising community can remember here towards yachts in a very long time. A French yachtsman suffered severe knife wounds during an attack aboard his boat last week, and in another incident shots were fired when thieves were surprised during an attempted burglary on a vacant boat ...[more] Lightning kills one crewman on Philippines boat By Nancy Knudsen, , 11:54 AM Fri 3 May 2013 Lightning has killed one crewman in a boat off the waters of Tabina in the Philippines. It was a fishing boat, not a sailing boat, but just as tragic and serves to remind all leisure sailors that lightning is dangerous on any boat if the crew is not prepared and knowledgeable ...[more] The Six Minute Safety Sailing Spiel By BoatUS/Sail-World Cruising, , 11:04 PM Tue 30 Apr 2013 It takes only six minutes to brief your new guests on board your boat for a day sailing, but could save the boat - or a life, and the briefing will make sure the day stays fun and relaxed. Here is the six minute safety briefing - six points, each taking only a minute: ...[more] US Sailors to vote on Loaner Kids Lifejacket locations By BoatUS/Sail-World Cruising, , 11:44 PM Mon 29 Apr 2013 USA sailors are being asked to vote for locations at which they would like to have loan life jackets available. BoatUS Foundation, which runs a Life Jacket Loaner Program for Kids at specific locations throughout the USA, is looking to expand their operations. ...[more] Sailor's boat confiscated for carrying cigars By Lee Mylchreest, , 1:49 AM Sat 27 Apr 2013 Long-range cruising sailors, be careful what you carry and be careful what you sign in unfamiliar ports. One American sailor has had his sailing boat confiscated because he was carrying some cigars on board. ...[more] British MOB rescue cleverly uses the boat's liferaft By Lee Mylchreest, , 6:59 AM Fri 19 Apr 2013 This week's MOB (or COB to use recent vernacular) incident in British waters took an interesting turn. The crew member, who happened to be the skipper, fell overboard but was wearing a life jacket and remained tethered by his harness. So far, so good. But he couldn't get back on board and the remaining two crew couldn't achieve it either. ...[more] Paper charts - vital for the prudent cruising sailor By Daria Blackwell, Ocean Cruising Club/Sail-World, 10:06 AM Sun 7 Apr 2013 Recently we published in informative article by Neil Langford, tech-savvy cruising sailor, about whether in today's high-tech world paper charts are really necessary, and about how he changed his mind.

Better for Dell to go private, away from analysts' prying eyes, the distractions of a shaky stock price and pesky compliance and reporting issues, and do what it takes to reinvent itself.
Large, successful companies have a strong record of doing that in the US and benefit from an infusion of capital (not sure if Dell needs it), a quick exit path for majority shareholders (again, not sure if Michael Dell needs it…knowing his career track, I don't think he will not cut and run anytime soon) and the ability to slash costs and (more) easily divest of non-performing business units.
The only problem is Dell's market cap ~ $21B today...but no one in finance got rich by not solving problems. I am curious to see the creative solutions Silver Lake and TPG come up with here.

We do not understand Public Relations as rigidly defined collection of single activities and instruments that distinguish from those of other communication disciplines. According to the actual meaning of the term, we believe that it does simply describe the building and maintenance of relationships. In fact, it is all about the essential element every good relationship depends on - communication or rather dialogue.
We are committed to building relationships by initiating and managing dialogues. Our activities orientate to the needs of those we want to communicate with. Eventually, it makes a difference whether to address a private consumer, an enterprise, a journalist or an internet blogger.
Our expertise consists in the development of the appropriate strategy for every dialogue and in its likewise targeted implementation by focusing on the right tone, the most relevant contents and the respective communication channel.
Each of our agency's three business units is committed to this challenge. In the sector of brand and consumer PR, Ogilvy Public Relations supports leading international manufacturers of consumer goods in the set-up and maintenance of their brands. Our Corporate Communications Unit, however, mainly advises companies of the finance and insurance sector as well as numerous professional service firms in all questions of their corporate communication. As one of the few agencies in the PR industry Ogilvy Public Relations provides an own department for strategic planning. It allows us - exempt from the operative business' deadlines - to broaden our horizon by discovering new trends, learning about crucial developments and finding out about what will move the public tomorrow. This knowledge enables us at an early stage to adjust our clients' communication to the persistently changing demands of the opinion leaders.

A Tale of Two Yellowstone Birds Peregrine falcons and trumpeter swans are two of the most important and charismatic birds in Yellowstone National Park. Both are also species of national concern, as they have each faced extinction during the last century. Habitat in Yellowstone plays a key role in maintaining viable populations of both peregrines and trumpeters, yet one of these bird species is now flourishing while the other is floundering. Now researchers are trying to figure out why. Peregrine Falcons: An Astonishing Recovery By the 1960s, peregrine falcons had been wiped out in Yellowstone due to the use of organochlorine pesticides, such as DDT, and by 1970 were considered in danger of extinction. However, since the United States banned the chemicals in 1972, peregrines have made an astonishing recovery from the brink of extinction and have returned to Yellowstone. Peregrines were delisted in 1999, but remain a Species of Concern and are closely monitored in the Park. In addition to their impressive physical feats, as mid-level avian predators, peregrines have an important ecological function in the Park's food chain. As migrants, they also serve as "sentinels" for identifying exterior environmental contamination affecting the Greater Yellowstone ecosystem.
Trumpeter swans, a species unique to North America, were nearly exterminated due to unrestricted killing for feather harvesting. By 1935, the only trumpeter swans thought to exist in the lower 48 states were 69 birds living year-round in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. Conservation efforts during the late 20th century saved the species from extinction. Throughout this time, the small flock persisted in Yellowstone and reached an all-time high of 100 swans in 1992. The trumpeter swan, so named for its resonant, trumpet-like call, was known to exist in Yellowstone when the Park was established in 1872. It is North America's largest wild waterfowl. Facing a future without Yellowstone's stately and beloved swans, the National Park Service is prioritizing research on why trumpeters are dwindling in such an alarming way.
Peregrines are the most sought after species for recreational falconers and illegal taking of chicks does occur. Knowledge of all eyries (nests) in the Park will aid Yellowstone law enforcement in protecting this iconic bird. It will also give Park managers a better understanding of the distribution of peregrines and the full extent of recovery. There are currently at least 32 known eyries in Yellowstone. Park biologists, joined by one outside researcher, will locate peregrine falcon eyries in the Park, monitor eyrie occupancy, determine nest success, and document any environmental contaminants from tissue samples or egg shells. The egg shells are significant because the earlier decline in the population was caused by a pollutant -- DDT -- which thinned the egg shells. Locating potential nest sites is time consuming and labor intensive, as likely sites are high cliffs, with open air space below, near water. In the case of the trumpeter swan, the researchers are conducting an inventory of habitat conditions and gathering information on possible causes of the population decline. Aerial photographs are being used to locate and map the Park for wetlands, and wetlands will be assessed and compared using historic photographs. Swan nests will be plotted using GIS software and analyzed against wetland change. The funds for the Peregrine Falcon & Trumpeter Swan Monitoring Project are supporting the allocation of staff so that surveys -- both ground and aerial – can occur to help locate and track both bird populations. Additional expenses include sampling equipment and supplies. No bird capture is planned for this study. Ultimately, the knowledge gained from concentrated research and monitoring will enable Park biologists and managers to work toward maintaining healthy populations of peregrine falcons and trumpeter swans in Yellowstone.

Why do babies cry?
Your baby can't do anything for herself and relies on you to provide her with the food, warmth and comfort that she needs. Crying is your baby's way of communicating any or all of those needs (Farrell and Sittlington 2009, ICAN 2007) and ensuring a response from you (Farrell and Sittlington 2009).It's sometimes hard to work out what your baby is telling you. But in time you will learn to recognise what your baby needs (Farrell and Sittlington 2009). And as your baby grows she'll learn other ways of communicating with you. She'll get better at eye contact, making noises and smiling, all of which reduce her need to cry for attention.
In the meantime, if your baby is difficult to soothe, she may be trying to say:
I'm hungry
Hunger is one of the most common reasons that your newborn baby will cry (PRODIGY 2007). The younger your baby is, the more likely it is that she's hungry.
Your baby's small stomach can't hold very much, so if she cries, try offering her some milk. She may be hungry, even if her last feed doesn't seem very long ago. It's likely that you will be feeding often and regularly in the first day or so to help your breastmilk to come in anyway. If you are formula feeding your baby she may not be hungry if she has been fed within the last two hours.
She may not stop crying immediately, but let her keep feeding if she wants to.
I just feel like crying
If your baby is younger than about five months old, she may cry in the late afternoon and evenings. This is normal, and doesn't mean there's anything wrong with your baby (St James-Roberts 2008).
The unhappiness can range from short periods of inconsolable crying to several hours at a stretch. While she's crying, your baby may become flushed and frustrated, and refuse your efforts to comfort her. Your baby may clench her fists, draw up her knees, or arch her back (NCCWCH 2007b, PRODIGY 2007).
It's upsetting when it seems you can't do anything to ease your baby's distress. However hard it is at the time, rest assured that your baby will grow out of this trying phase.
Persistent and inconsolable crying in an otherwise healthy baby is traditionally called colic (PRODIGY 2007). Some people also associate colic with wind and tummy or digestive problems. These may be due to an allergy or intolerance to certain substances in breastmilk or formula milk (Buchanan 2002, Kanabar 2001, Lucassen et al 1998, NHS 2009).
These days, though, we have a greater understanding of how normal this pattern of baby crying is and that it isn't necessarily linked to tummy troubles.
Ronald Barr, an expert on baby crying, has proposed a new term for this phase of crying. Barr calls it the "period of PURPLE crying®", where the letters PURPLE stand for common characteristics of the crying (Barr 2007). (It doesn't mean your baby turns purple from crying so hard!).
The emphasis is on the word "period", as you can be assured that your baby's persistent crying will not last forever.
The letters in PURPLE stand for:
- P for peak of crying: your baby may cry more each week, the most at two months of age, then less at between three months and five months.
- U for unexpected: crying can come and go and you don't know why.
- R for resists soothing: your baby may not stop crying, no matter what you try.
- P for pain-like face: a crying baby may look as if she is in pain, even when she is not.
- L for long-lasting: crying can last for several hours a day.
- E for evening: your baby may cry more in the late afternoon and evening.
Living with a baby who regularly cries inconsolably can be very stressful, but there are things you can do to help you to cope with the crying. See our section below: "My baby's still crying. What can I do?"
I need to be held
Your baby will need lots of cuddling, physical contact and reassurance (St James Roberts 2008) to comfort her (NHS 2010, St James Roberts 2008).
So it may be that she just wants to be held. Try a baby sling to keep her close to you, perhaps swaying and singing to her while you hold her (DH 2009).
You may be worried about spoiling your baby if you hold her too much. But during the first few months of her life that's not possible. Small babies need lots of physical comfort. If you hold your baby close she may be soothed by hearing your heartbeat.
I'm tired and need a rest
Often, babies find it hard to get to sleep, particularly if they are over-tired. You will soon become aware of your baby's sleep cues. Whining and crying at the slightest thing, staring blankly into space, and going quiet and still are just three examples.
If your baby has received a lot of attention and cuddles from doting visitors, she may become over-stimulated (NHS 2010). Then, when it comes to sleeping, she'll find it hard to switch off and settle. Take your baby somewhere calm and quiet to help her to settle down (DH 2009).
I'm too cold or too hot
Your baby may hate having her nappy changed or being bathed. She may not be used to the feeling of cold air on her skin and would rather be bundled up and warm. But you will soon learn how to perform a quick nappy change if this is the case.
Take care not to overdress your baby, or she may become too hot. She will generally need to wear one more layer of clothing than you to be comfortable.
Use sheets and cellular blankets as bedding in your baby's cot or Moses basket. You can check whether your baby is too hot or too cold by feeling her tummy. If her tummy feels too hot, remove a blanket, and if it feels cold, add one.
Don't be guided by your baby's hands or feet, as they usually feel cool (DH 2009: 27). Keep your baby's room at a temperature of about 18 degrees C. Place her down to sleep on her back with her feet at the end of the cot. That way she can't wriggle too far down under the blankets and become too hot (DH 2009: 27).
I need my nappy changing
Your baby may protest if her clothes are too tight or if a wet or soiled nappy is bothering her (NHS 2010). Or she may not mind if her nappy is full and may actually enjoy the warm and comfortable feeling. But if your baby's tender skin is being irritated she will most likely cry.
I need something to make me feel better
Be aware of changes in your baby. If she's unwell, she'll probably cry in a different tone to her usual cry. It may be weaker, more urgent, continuous, or high-pitched (NCCWCH 2007: 98, NHS 2010, RCN 2008). And if your baby usually cries a lot but has become unusually quiet, it may be a sign that she's not well.
Nobody knows your baby as well as you do. If you feel that there may be something wrong with her, call your GP, midwife or health visitor.
Health professionals will always take your concerns seriously. Call your doctor if your baby has difficulty breathing through the crying, or if the crying is accompanied by a fever, vomiting, diarrhoea or constipation.
My baby's still crying. What can I do?
As you gradually get to know your baby's personality you'll learn which techniques work best for her. If a cuddle doesn't do the job, these suggestions may help:Find a constant sound
In the uterus (womb), your baby could hear the beat of your heart, which is why she likes to be held close to you now. There are other repetitive noises that may also have a calming effect.
The steady rhythm of a washing machine, or the noise of a vacuum cleaner or hairdryer may lull your baby to sleep. But never put your baby on top of a washing machine or clothes dryer, just supervise her on the floor, next to it.
You can also download white-noise sounds or a white noise app for your phone, or buy a white-noise CD created for babies. These mimic the sounds in the uterus and may soothe your crying baby.
Rock-a-bye baby
Babies usually love to be gently rocked. You could:
- Walk around while rocking her.
- Sit with her in a rocking chair.
- If she's old enough, sit her securely in a baby swing.
- Take her out for a ride in your car (DH 2009).
- Take her out for a walk in her pushchair (NHS 2010).
Try a massage or a tummy rub
Using massage oils or cream and gently rubbing her back or tummy can help to soothe your baby (Farrell and Sittlington 2009, Underdown et al 2006). It may also make you feel better, as it's a practical way of reducing your baby's distress. Ask your health visitor about local baby massage classes.
Try a different feeding position
Some babies cry during or after feeds (DH 2009). If you are breastfeeding, you may find that improving the way your baby latches on helps her to feed calmly without crying.
If she seems to have painful wind during feeds, you could try feeding her in a more upright position. Burp your baby after a feed by holding her against your shoulder. If your baby cries straight after a feed, she may still be hungry.
Let her suck on something
In some newborns, the need to suck is very strong. Sucking at your breast while you are breastfeeding, a clean finger or a dummy can bring great comfort (DH 2009: 28-29). Comfort sucking can steady a baby's heart rate, relax her tummy, and help her to settle.
Give her a warm bath
A warm bath may soothe your baby and help her to calm down (NHS 2010). Check the water temperature before placing her in there. But bear in mind that this may also make her cry more. In time, you will get to know your baby's likes and dislikes.
Don't demand too much of yourself
If your newborn cries almost constantly, she won't do herself lasting harm (St James-Roberts 2008). But it's likely to cause you and your partner a great deal of stress and worry. If she's unhappy and resists every effort to calm her down, you may feel rejected and frustrated (NCCPC 2006: 32). But you are not the cause of her crying (St James-Roberts 2008), so don't blame yourself.
If you've met your baby's immediate needs and tried everything you can to calm her, but nothing's worked, it's time to take care of yourself:
- Put your baby in her cot and let her cry for a short spell out of your range of hearing. Take deep breaths.
- Put on some quiet music and let yourself relax for a moment or two.
- If you and your baby are both upset and you've tried everything, it makes sense to call a friend or relative for support. Give yourself a break and let someone else take over for a while.
- Talk to your health visitor about coping strategies and local support groups or parent-and-baby groups. That way you can share your feelings and discuss ways of coping with other new parents.
- Call a helpline. Cry-sis offers a helpline on 0845 1228 669 for parents of babies who have sleep problems or who cry excessively.
Remind yourself that nothing is wrong with your baby and that crying won't hurt her. Sometimes simply accepting that you have a baby who cries a lot can help (St James-Roberts 2008). You then won't wear yourself out looking for reasons for the crying, blaming yourself for it, or trying out endless potential remedies.
This crying is a phase and it will pass (NCCPC 2006: 32). Newborn babies are hard work. Being the parent of a newborn who cries a lot is even harder work. But try to get help and support when you need it, rather than letting things build up.
Be reassured that as your baby grows, she will learn new ways of communicating her needs to you (ICAN 2007, Sheridan 2008). And when this happens, the crying will stop.

No numbers? Not even glxgears running on ARM llvmpipe?
Phoronix: Gallium3D LLVMpipe Isn't Yet Fit For ARM
While OpenGL is becoming a requirement for more of the Linux desktops out there, and ARM open-source graphics drivers aren't yet commonplace, using the Gallium3D LLVMpipe software rasterizer on ARM isn't yet a really viable solution...
No numbers? Not even glxgears running on ARM llvmpipe?
I keep seeing these articles about LLVMpipe not working well on ARM and I wonder why anyone expects it should? To my knowledge, no one has done any work on improving LLVM performance on ARM. I can't imagine what you expect to have changed since the last time an article was published about this.
I would figure Apple has a very vested interest in LLVM doing well on ARM. (They're likely holding back stuff, but still, they're moving to LLVM/Clang for iOS...)
The problem appears to be that there just isn't enough CPU power. If you need a multicore amd64 platform to run LLVMpipe adequetely, there isn't much chance of even an A15 platform doing well. To be fair, doing modern 3D in a regular CPU is hard, look at what happened to Larabee.
I figured it was something similar. I've noticed that most of the Phoronix testing of ARM compilers are done without NEON (excepting a recent article from earlier this week). If LLVMpipe has SSE optimizations and nothing for NEON, then it's no surprise that it's slow on ARM (completely discarding the raw throughput differences of the CPUs in question).
Okay, can someone who knows the internals say why llvmpipe specifically needs knowledge of $INSTRUCTION_SET?
Isn't that the whole point of using llvm? Having it auto-optimize for the best set available?
Wheee, hardcoding one set to work around the compiler being bad. And apparently given this news posting, llvm has not improved a lot in 3.1.
I wouldn't really call it "worked around". It is true some intrinsics are used because early llvm versions didn't quite work right (for instance the code for comparison/select where up to llvm 3.0 or so backends choked on doing this vectorized).
However, with llvm IR you also cannot express some things sse (or other vector instruction sets for that matter) can do, and if you try to do it you end up with llvm IR which is too complex for llvm backends to synthesize back into simple cpu instructions.
Some of these I would blame on llvm (I really hate it for instance llvm doesn't have min/max instructions which are a fairly general concept pretty much all vector extensions can do that, but you'll need to code it as compare/select and last time I checked llvm was unable to fuse that back into a min or max so with only sse2 you'll end up with a cmp instruction plus and/andnot/or (for select) and even if you have sse41 the cmp/select isn't really ideal).
But most of the intrinsics which are used by llvmpipe don't really fall into that category, they are simply "too weird" to make sense in a generic IR. For instance the pack intrinsics - these are very useful and used extensively, if you fall back on llvm ir if they aren't available it's way more complicated (you can use trunc but the necessary clamping makes it a mess and the generated code terrible).
Frankly I'm pleasantly surprised it would work at all on arm, I guess the arm backend is in pretty good shape then.
Nothing is stopping someone from adding support for neon intrinsics however - just recently there's ongoing work for altivec intrinsics on powerpc.

Professional Wine Reviews for Giuseppe Cortese Barbaresco Rabaja 2009Read More... Additional information » |
Despite less than ideal climatic conditions, featuring storms which threatened an otherwise perfect year, most parts of California had an excellent year for viticulture. Chardonnays and Sauvignon Blancs were picked at optimum ripeness, and Californian white wine was just about as good as it could be. Surprises and overcoming difficulties summed up much of the United States' wine industry in 2009, and many of the results from Oregon, Washington State and all over California speak for themselves, with the flagship Cabernet Sauvignon grapes having developed healthy, thick skins and thus plenty of character and distinction. Elsewhere in the New World, South Africa had a very good year in 2009, and wineries across the cape of the African continent are proclaiming it a truly great vintage. In most of Europe, fine weather and punctual ripening periods produced some excellent wines, with many of the best coming out of France's Bordeaux and the surrounding regions. Merlot had an exceptionally good year in France, and wineries are proclaiming that the 2009 Merlot harvest was one of the best in living memory. Indeed, across most of France, ripening was relatively even, and red wine grapes such as Cabernet Franc, Syrah and others were reportedly highly characterful, with plenty of the required tannin levels with which to make high quality wines. Italy, too, had a very good 2009. Piedmont reported extremely favorable conditions throughout 2009, and their signature Nebbiolo grapes were more or less perfect when harvested, having benefited from the slight drop in temperature at the end of their ripening period. Veneto, too, had an enviable year, producing superb Pinot Grigio and Chardonnay wines in 2009.
The dusty purple grapes of the Nebbiolo variety are widely considered to be amongst the finest in the world, and hold many unique characteristics which have secured their place in wine making history. Indeed, almost all of the most respected and sought after red wines of Italy are made using this grape varietal, and it wasn't long before several New World wineries started experimenting with the fruit of this special vine, too. Nebbiolo grapes are renowned for their ability to age beautifully, with their strong and dense tannins mellowing out and becoming more balanced inside the oak. Alongside this, they hold some of the most complex and exciting flavors to be found in any grape, which range from gorgeous notes of black truffle, to aromatic violets and tobacco tones.
The region of Piedmont in the cool, breezy north-western part of Italy is renowned throughout the world for high quality, flavorful and delicious red wines, and for the elegant and refined sparkling wines such as Asti which typify the area. The region is located at the foothills of the Alps, close to the French and Swiss borders, and benefits from some interesting micro-climates formed by its proximity to the mountain range. The key grapes for the fine red wines of Piedmont are Nebbiolo, Dolcetto and Barbera all powerful varietals which are packed full of a range of fruit flavors and which have an affinity for oak making them ideal for aging When it comes to the sparkling Asti, wineries cultivate plenty of Moscato grapes, whose relative transparency make them ideal for expressing their terroir and providing some interesting flavors in the bottle.
For several decades in the mid to late twentieth century, Italy's reputation for quality wines took a fairly serious blow. This was brought about partly due to lack of regulation in certain regions, and too much regulation in others. This led to several wineries in the beautiful and highly fertile region of Tuscany making the bold move to work outside of the law, which they saw as responsible for the drop in quality in Tuscan wines. They believed that they had the expertise and the generations of experience necessary with which to make truly excellent, world class wines, and set about doing just that. These 'Super Tuscans', as they came to be known, quickly inspired the rest of Italy to improve their produce, and now, Italian wine producers in the twenty-first century are widely recognised to be amongst the best in the world. Regulation and law began to change, and wine drinkers across the globe woke up to the outstanding wines coming out of Italy, which are continuing to improve and impress to this day.

OMG !! This is the absolute BEST product I have EVER purchased!! I was on the fence about whether to get this one or the FHI.. after researching them both.. I made my decision by which one was cheaper..and Im glad I did. I am African American and have been natural for 3 years. I normally wear my hair curly or in a fro. Being from Houston tx makes it nearly impossible to keep it straight with all the humidity but this iron did the trick. I can get the salon look without the salon price.. It normally takes 3 hours to wash condition blow dry and flat iron my hair.. when I used my CHi.. but with this Croc..it Literally took me an hour... WOW.. and I have a head full of hair !!!! NO JOKE !! I wish I could show you guys pics.. its like magic! And my hair is silky and smooth..no frizz at all.. and I can finally sit outside in humidity without worrying about my hair getting puffed up ! This thing gets REALLY hot.. so I STRONGLY recommend using a good heat protectant. I have been using .. Beyond the heat flat iron spray ( i think thats the official name).. but anyway..they have it at sally beauty supply and its in orange spray bottle.. AWESOME.. dont use too much though.. two sprays per section or youll be looking greasy !!! I hope this review helps.. I read reviews all the time before buying.. and this product gets 5 STARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This product only lasted 1 year and then it malfunctioned, not heating above 212 degrees. This was the 2nd one that we bought that broke. I would not recommend this product.
I bought this iron b/c they had it at my hair salon so I trusted it would be a reliable product. I loved it up until it died on me in July after getting it as a Christmas gift the previous year. I even called the manufacturer and they said b/c I hadn't purchased it directly and on O.co, that the 1-year warranty was invalid.The version I purchased here had the Infra-red too, but I don't see that listed anymore here, so maybe they discontinued it because of the poor quality.
I love this flat iron so much that I'm a return buyer. My friend/hair stylist had bought this flat iron for me 3 years ago, and it worked like a DREAM every time! Sadly, my boyfriend got it wet while it was plugged in and it shorted out (so be careful for that!!); I was DEVASTATED!!! I had no idea where to buy it again because my friend had purchased it from a "professionals only" beauty store. I have owned all kinds of high-quality flat irons--- Paul Mitchell, CHI, HerStyler, InfraShine---- none of them EVER worked as well as the Croc!! I went to Ulta in search of a new one and they had never even heard of Croc!! I bought a super expensive ($150!!) CHI Ultra, brought it home and it worked like crap!!! I was so upset! I returned it the next day and asked my stylist friend to take me to the beauty store with her to get a new one. I walked right into disappointment, nothing but Paul Mitchell, CHI, HerStyler, and InfraShine :( I went home thinking I would have to settle for less, but I thought I'd give the good ol' O a try before I completely gave up... not only did the O have my same croc that had just broken, but an entire array of different Croc straightening products!!!! I was completely overjoyed, and ordered right away. And the price was unbeatable too!! You will NEVER find a better flat -iron then the Croc Pro!! Especially for the price. I would (and probably will) buy this product over, and over, and over again!!! SOOOOOOOOO HAPPY!!! THANK YOU OVERSTOCK!!! :)
I was first introduced to this flat iron while receiving a professional Keratin hair treatment. I was thoroughly impressed with the accuracy in which you were able to control the heat setting (you can actually set the temperature to a specific degree...up to 450 degrees). I remember inquiring as to what flat iron he was using on my hair.. The salon owner told me that it was a "Croc" - the best flat iron on the market.. And it is. My hair is fragile (color treated) and I simply get the best results from this Croc. I love it, and will never use any other flat iron, as no other can compare to this one. I mean it, it's awesome!!!
This is a great product heats fast and has a swivel cord so it does not twist up as you use it.
I need a really hot iron and this is.. I'm glad I got the insurance on it because of what the other reviews said.
Gets hot and works all the time
Does a great job on my hair!
I needed a new flat iron and this is the best! I love the digital temperature selection and the design of the product. Performance is wonderful! It heats up super quickly and straightens my wavy, curly hair very nicely! I highly recommend this one!

Got a good eye for the redheads?
Can YOU spot the dye jobs? Click on to try.
Yesterday we rounded up 22 famous gingers in preparation for Redhead Day. Today we up the ante and make it a little harder for you: here are 23 jaw-dropping pictures from our photo library, but the catch is they're not all true redheads.
1) We'll make the first one easy for you
Now that you know what to look for, let's spot an easy fake...
There's no hiding when the ginger is this strong within you. We're just amazed she can go out in the sun.
2) Beautiful...but not a real redhead
Now get ready, because it's going to get harder for you...
This exceedingly lovely lassie might have smiling Irish eyes, but she's no ginger. That's a brunette with style.
3) Be our redheaded girlfriend?
Real or fake, this gal's the marrying kind
4) Devil in a Blue Dress
Red-hots like this lady make even cool colors boil
5) If that's fake, we don't want to try real
That woman doesn't have hair; she has molten bronze
6) Instagram ginger
This redhead's got sleeve tattoos, so you'll have a lot harder time finding the telltale freckles
7) Leather and light
Although she makes hard easy to do.
You're going to have to guess hard here...
8) Fine, we'll give you a better look
Just to hedge your bet.
9) What does this redhead know?
Because she either has a secret, or just figured out one.
10) No, you cannot offer us a drink
Besides, we don't want blue right now. We're only seeing red.
It speaks to the power of redheads that there are basically four sections of this photo composition, and alcohol is the least attention-grabbing of any of them.
11) Stay focused!
You're not going to be able to tell by the hair alone. Eyes up and see if her face gives you any clues.
12) Again with the blue...
Probably because then Christmas comes early.
Redheads--Hasn't anyone told you that you absolutely kill in green?
13) The XXX-Files
It's cool if you disagree, man. We trust your opinion, since you've watched way more porn than anybody else we know.
Tell us she doesn't look like tomorrow she'll be playing Scully in The X-Files porn parody.
14) Because we love you
She's aces, that one.
We thought you deserved to see this gal in her entirety, adorable tummy and all.
15) Tough call, easy decision
If that's a dye job, she wears it well enough to deserve a deputy redhead badge
16) Beret-wearing redhead mocks your best guess
But appreciates your admiration!
17) This one's a little on-the-nose
But so was that pun.
18) Fantasy redhead
But if she were real, would she be a redhead?
Honestly, this woman doesn't exist outside of photosessions. There's no Italian shore where she stands in the breeze and waits for you to pour her expensive wine.
19) Peek-a-boo
What's up, real life Jessica Rabbit?
20) Noir
What, no purse with a snubnose .38 in it?
21) All these redheads defy you
...which sort of betrays which ones are real, doesn't it?
They're just sure you're going to guess wrong...
22) We're speechless
23) Hey, it's her again
Have YOU? Leave your best guesses in the comments below, then hone your skills by discerning our our Gallery of Famous Redhead Beauties.
Looks like she's figured out who her ginger sisters are, and who's an infiltrator.

Hi NormaNice to see this thread still very active. Are you able to summarize your go to recipe? I'm having trouble sifting through your awesome experiments to see if there is one standout. ThanksBrian
Norma,To be sure I understand, are you saying that you experienced problems opening the preferment Lehmann dough balls when you formed them into balls and didn't later reball them at all or that the problems arose when you tried to reball the dough balls once after forming, or maybe twice? Also, what hydration values were you using?Peter

What's in MY pack? Backpacking gear lists from a Great Smoky Mountains overnighter
"Ever since we published a series of backpacking gear lists this spring (an ultralight backpacking gear list, a traditional backpacking gear list and a beginner's backpacking gear list) several blog readers have contacted me to ask which of those items I personally carry. After all, it's one thing to compile lists of suggested backpacking gear, and another thing entirely to disclose exactly what I take on the trail. Well, what better way to follow up those gear lists, and answer that question, than with another gear list?"

Comments about Vasque Breeze 2.0 GTX (Women's):
I was never a fan of high top hiking boots until I got these. They provide great support, good traction, and they're comfortable for multiple long days. Once broken in, they're flexible enough that the high top hasn't bothered me. I honestly feel like they've saved my ankles backpacking... I'm sold.

Comments about Vasque Breeze 2.0 GTX (Women's):
I bought a pair of Vasque Breezes for a backpacking trip that evolved into a very wet and potentially uncomfortable adventure. However, after six hours of hiking up a mountain in the pouring rain, my feet were still dry. I was amazed - considering my fellow hikers were practically swimming in their boots. Besides keeping my feet dry, I was blister-free over the course of the two-day, 30-mile hike. The ankle support is great, and the traction is amazing - even on slippery rocks. I would buy these again in a heartbeat.
