Now I know I spoke previous about Scott Hall's induction which I think both him and Jake Roberts going are a long time coming and very deserving as well as Paul Bearer because I thought all three of these guys should have went in last year but that wasn't the case. Not to be ignore it's good to see Lita, Ultimate Warrior, and Mr. T going into the Hall of Fame this year as well as those three are also deserving of such an honor. I know I left out Carlos Colon and that is because I am just against people that have never done anything in WWE going into the Hall of Fame. Below is the full induction show from last year:

Any ideas, aside from this being a test of my patience,a test of my determination, or a matter of luck and timing.

No there is no "main fuse" you are looking at them all. (There is always the potential someone modified something though.) Could be your ignition switch or wires going into it. I'd start there.
12 V showing on the meter doesnt mean the battery is good btw, but you should at least see the dash lights. Hence my guessing the ig sw.
That funny connector is the BMW or euro style for accessories.

Phoenix Suns
Dan Majerle spouts off on being passed over for Suns head coaching position
The smoke has cleared, Alvin Gentry is gone and Lindsey Hunter is the interim head coach of the Phoenix Suns. A 17-year NBA veteran with no coaching experience, Hunter will get a 41-game audition for the rest of what's been a forgettable season for the team.
That doesn't sit well with many people, including former Suns assistant coach Dan Majerle.
Majerle, who spent four and a half seasons on Gentry's coaching staff before parting ways with the organization earlier this week, visited the studios of Arizona Sports 620 Wednesday, and had a lot to say in his interview with Doug and Wolf.
"I think the right move would have been to hire Elston Turner," Majerle said. "I understand change, I understand the firing of Alvin -- I'm not saying it was Alvin's fault that we had won 13 games. That in no way shape or form was all Alvin's fault, at all. I think Alvin is a great coach and everybody knows he's a great guy who was really good for this team.
"But when you are 13-28 or whatever you are, things are going to change -- usually the head coach. I understand that, I've been through that as a player, I've seen coaches go, I understand that."
Turner was in his second season as a Suns assistant, but had spent 14 seasons as an NBA assistant for the Portland Trail Blazers, Sacramento Kings and Houston Rockets. He too was bypassed for the interim job and his employment status with the team is still undetermined.
"What I didn't understand was it's usually standard operating procedure at that point that the lead assistant gets (the interim job). We're talking about Elston Turner, the guy who's coached for 14 years, has played in this league," Majerle said. "I have nothing but the greatest respect for him as a coach and a man and the way he goes about his business, and the respect that he had with his players.
"That being said, when he didn't get it, I said 'okay, then give me a shot.' I've been here for five and a half years, I've been in the league for over 25 years, I've been here since '88, I've put in my time, coached the Summer League, worked my tail off -- give me a shot at it."
Majerle, along with Hunter, Turner and fellow assistant Igor Kokoskov all got interviews with general manager Lance Blanks and president of basketball operations Lon Babby, but it ultimately was Hunter that got the post.
"To be bypassed, not only me, but Elston as well, to be bypassed by a guy who wasn't even on the coaching staff? I don't know if Lindsey is going to be a good coach. Maybe he is, I hope he is because first and foremost I hope this team is successful because I love the players -- I've got a lot of respect for the players."
But Majerle wasn't done.
"That's what really made me mad, is they said it would have been the easy thing to do is give Dan the job -- and I heard Lon before, because of my popularity and because I'm in the Ring of Honor. Never once did I hear him say that I was qualified to be a coach, which I took offense to. I thought I'd be a great coach. I thought I did a great job with the Summer League."
According to reports, Majerle will receive his full salary for the remainder of the season.

2010 Distinguished Scholars, Student Athlete: Osaki Bilaye-Benibo
CORPUS CHRISTI - Football is not all Osaki Bilaye-Benibo is, but it has helped him grow into the man he will become.
"Football has taught me how to work in an environment where others rely on you but the glory is not individual," he said. "But your role counts. What you do is important."
Many assume athletes who excel on the field fall short in classroom, but Osaki dismissed the stereotype as just that. He has littered his transcript with advanced courses in English, math, science, history and art while lettering in football and track.
"You have to establish yourself as an academic student first," he said.
Because he is a stellar student and a stellar athlete, Osaki has been chosen as a winner of the 2010 Caller-Times/Citgo South Texas Distinguished Scholars in the Student Athlete category.
Osaki is ranked fifth out of 271 in his graduating class at Calallen High School. He maintains a 105.2 grade average. The 17-year-old senior would like to attend Rice University next fall where he will begin laying the groundwork to become a doctor.
He is a sweet young man and a powerhouse on the field, said Athletic Coordinator Sandra Browning, who nominated Osaki for this year's scholarship award. Browning has known Osaki since he was a young boy when his older sisters participated in athletics.
"He has the drive to win and the drive to be outstanding in whatever it is he does," she said.
Osaki's mother, Gloria Bilaye-Benibo, said her son will be the first to tell you he didn't have any other choice but to do well.
"First and foremost he had a legacy of success and that legacy was primarily faith based," she said. "We have instilled in him since he was very small that he can do all things through Christ. And that was exemplified by all of the five children that have come though this house. He really wasn't given an option."
In the Benibo home, there is no such thing as "no pass, no play." There is only "no excel, no play."
It's not uncommon to find Osaki reading a book in between track and field events, Browning said.
Football also has taught him a great deal about being a leader. He recognizes fellow students are watching, even when he's not on the field. It's a responsibility he takes seriously and in part is why he puts forth 110 percent effort in everything he does. Being a leader requires a willingness to be part of a team and a great deal of self-control.
"You don't have to speak. You don't have to push or yell," he said. "You just have to lead by example."

Best of luck you two!!! As long as the thing keeps re-firing, I wouldn't let it be a complete buzz-kill.
Hi cbxtc6. I'm loving these words you say "some bad Main Circuit Breakers out there" Thats my theory also. I know household circuit breakers get old over time and will blow prematurely and after one breaks it will break easier next time. I'm hoping this is it. I can replace the breakers with automotive fuses, they fit right in where the breakers go. In fact the headlight has a fuse in place of the breaker and has been working just fine for three years. I can get automotive fuses here in Mexico. :)
I do have to disagree with the buzz-kill thing though. I'm not getting down on you for saying it, I just see this as an opportunity to express the seriousness of our situation. OK, that being said, The roads and driving south of the border is super dangerous and is the riskiest part of this trip for sure. If you could be on the roads where we were on the day we killed twice I'm sure you would agree. When I say zero shoulder on both sides I mean that literally and either a steep 20 to 50 foot drop-off, thats no exaggeration. And narrow roads, if the semi's aren't exactly in the middle of their lane they re over in our lane. Twists, turns and dips, the chances of us killing on a blind turn or just over a steep hill with NO place to get off the road is great. That scares the H out of me and I'm not afraid to admit it. I Need to have a theory about why the bike is killing and have a solution I can implement down here in Mexico else Heidi and I would be pointing the bike back north to have a Harley mechanic go over the thing in Texas before continuing south again. That would suck!
I have some of the highest respect for the members here on advrider and the help we are getting here is valued and appreciated more then I can express in words. After reading these replies Heidi and I have decided to try replacing the breakers with fuses and continue pointing the bike south. Thanks cbxtc6 and all the others for your help and support.
Have a dream, live it. Set a goal, achieve it.

A system for increasing the speed and efficiency of instruction execution by a computer processing system. An instruction cache is provided to receive a minor number of stored instructions for execution by the computer processing system. The instructions are prefetched and returned in cache based upon an analysis of instructions which are in the cache pending execution. Target instructions of branch instructions may be prefetched as a result of the analysis of a branch instruction pending in the cache. Other instructions may be retained in cache when they are tagged as being likely to be reused.
1. In a processing system for executing program instructions stored in a memory and forming subgroups of blocks of instructions, at least one of said blocks including a group of instructions which are repeatedly executed, a system for improving execution efficiency of said program comprising:
an instruction cache for storing a minor number of instructions of a block of said instructions; and
a prefetch processor programmed to sequentially fetch a number of instructions of said program from the memory and store the number of instructions in said instruction cache, said processor controlling said cache to freeze a portion of said cache containing said instructions which are repeatedly executed, while prefetching sequentially remaining instructions of said program, said prefetch processor being operative to inspect instructions, fetched from the memory to control the freezing.
2. The system of claim 1 wherein said prefetch processor freezes the instructions representing the beginning portion of a block containing said repeatedly executed instructions.
3. The system of claim 1 wherein said repeatedly executed instructions are tagged, and said prefetch processor detects said tagged instructions and subsequently freezes said tagged instructions in said cache.
4. The system of claim 3 wherein said program includes an instruction which unfreezes said cache.
5. The system of claim 4 wherein all of said program instructions include a bit position which identifies an instruction as an instruction to be frozen or which is not to be frozen.
This is a continuation of application Ser. No. 07/500,612, filed Mar. 27, 1990 now abandoned.
This invention relates to computer processing systems which make use of instruction cache memories to increase instruction access speed. Specifically, a method and apparatus for reducing instruction cache misses without increasing instruction cache pollution is described.
Stored memory programs are implemented in computer processing systems which are executed by sequential instruction line execution. The retrieval of a line of instructions from memory necessarily requires access to the system bus slowing the overall computation time for the computer.
To alleviate the bus overhead in line by line program execution, instruction caches have been used which permit prefetching of groups of lines of instructions during some cycle(s) of the memory bus. The processor may then reference a line of instruction from the cache without regard for the bus availability.
Some programs are not entirely sequential in that they have branch instructions or loop instructions which transfer execution to an earlier instruction. If instructions are prefetched on a sequential basis, a cache miss might occur when the next instruction is a target instruction of branch instructions. The cache must then use some bus cycle(s) to acquire the referenced instruction.
The prefetching of instructions for execution may also present the additional problem of cache pollution, wherein lines of instructions are prefetched into the cache and never used. The result is wasted cache memory space and the increased potential for a cache miss due to non-referenced instructions being stored in the cache.
One solution to this dilemma is a cache prefetching operation based on a one line look ahead. When a cache miss occurs, the reference line and next consecutive line of instructions are prefetched in the next available bus access. This scheme does not verify whether the next line will actually be used, thus presenting the possibility of polluting the cache rather than enhancing its performance.
It is an object of this invention to provide efficient prefetching of instructions from a program memory to an instruction cache.
It is yet another object of this invention to compile a computer program to avoid cache misses during execution of the program.
It is still another object of this invention to manage an instruction execution cache to avoid pollution of the cache with unused instructions.
These and other objects of the invention are provided by an instruction execution cache which prefetches during an available bus cycle a plurality of instructions from a main program storage memory. The fetched instructions are examined by a prefetch processor to determine the likelihood of a cache miss by the computer during sequential execution of the prefetched instructions.
This prediction of a cache miss is based upon determining whether or not an instruction such as a branch instruction has been loaded in the cache. Since these instruction types result in the program execution being non-sequential, forcing execution to a target instruction, the next instructions to be prefetched include the target instruction.
Additionally, when instructions are known to belong to a group of repetitively executed instructions, the portion of the instruction cache containing repetitively executed instructions is maintained frozen, i.e., in a state wherein they can be read and cannot be overwritten. Thus, it is possible to keep the beginning instructions of a program block which have a high probability of reuse in cache for repetitive use.
In carrying out the invention, explicit instructions may be inserted in the program to require a prefetch of the target instructions of a branch instruction in the next available bus cycle. An instruction to freeze and unfreeze instructions in cache may be inserted in the program to identify when these measures are to be taken.
FIG. 1 illustrates a cache memory interface between a program memory 13 and processing unit 11.
FIG. 2 illustrates the program organization in memory 13 which provides for explicit prefetching of target instructions before execution of a branch instruction.
FIG. 3 illustrates the program organization in memory 13 which provides for cache instruction freezing.
FIG. 4 illustrates the cache instruction contents during program execution having instructions which are frozen.
FIG. 5 illustrates a computing system architecture for implementing the cache instruction prefetching according to the instruction flow of FIGS. 2 and 3.
Referring now to FIG. 1, there is shown an instruction processing unit (IPU) which is common to many computer processing system architectures. Although shown as a single operating system, it is clear and well known to use the instruction cache interface between a processing unit 11 and program memory 13 for parallel operating systems. Such instruction cache arrangements are demonstrated in the Convex Computer Corporation CI processor series literature.
The instruction cache 12 permits the processing unit 11 to prefetch a number of instruction for execution during an available bus cycle of the computer bus 10. The prefetched instructions are stored in the instruction cache 12, thus freeing the bus to be used for other tasks to be performed by the processing unit 11. By freeing up the bus 10 from instruction fetching operations, the overall processing speed may be improved by permitting the bus 10 to service other demands for the processing unit 11.
In a typical system operation, the processing unit 11 may fetch one or more lines of instructions from the memory 13. The lines of instruction in turn contain a plurality of words, each of which may correspond to a single sub-instruction for the line of instructions.
The fetched instructions located in the cache 12 are then sequentially processed by the processing unit 11. As most programs are written in terms of a series of blocks of instructions, having a single entry and exit point, a sequential prefetching of the instructions will often provide the necessary series of instruction in the cache 12 for execution.
During execution of the instructions by the processing unit 11, when the last word of a particular instruction line is referenced by the processing unit 11, preparatory to executing the instruction, the processing unit 11 checks for the next following line to determine whether or not it is in the instruction cache 12. A cache prefetch for the next line of instructions following the line containing the last word to be executed is issued if it is not in the instruction cache 12.
Certain conditional branch instructions alter the execution sequence of the processing unit 11. Thus, in the case of an "if " statement or other type of branch instruction, the next needed instruction is likely one which may have been previously fetched and which has since been discarded in the instruction cache 12.
In one embodiment of the present invention, the instruction cache 12 will not prefetch the next instruction from memory 13 when a branch instruction has been prefetched. However, if the instruction is an uncondition branch instruction, a prefetch bit may be set in the instruction cache 12, allowing the next consecutive instruction to be prefetched during the next available bus cycle.
Once a conditional branch instruction is executed, a bus cycle for bus 10 may be needed to fetch the particular target instruction. Thus, no prefetching is resumed in the instruction cache 12 until the branch instruction has been executed.
This particular scheme of inhibiting prefetching, when a conditional branch instruction is set to be executed, avoids the inevitable cache miss which will occur should a sequential instruction be fetched from the program memory 13 before a conditional branch instruction is executed, transferring control to its related target instruction which is probably not the next sequential instruction.
The foregoing prefetching conditions may be implemented by analylzing the program behavior in light of branch instructions, and other events which require the execution of instructions which are non-sequential. By anticipating that future references by the processing unit 11 to instructions of the stored program of memory 13 may not be sequential, it is possible to avoid polluting the instruction cache 12 with non-used instructions without incurring any additional risk of a cache miss 12 by interrupting the sequential prefetching of program instructions.
In implementing the foregoing technique, a conditional branch instruction may be encountered which changes the program execution sequence to another line perhaps ahead of those being executed. To avoid implicitly prefetching instructions, which immediately follow such a conditional branch instruction, the branch instruction is inspected and if it is a conditional branch, the cache prefetch bit is set to inhibit prefetching of subsequent branch instructions until the branch instruction is executed. Once the branch instruction is executed, and the processing unit 11 correctly identifies and references the target instruction from memory 13, prefetching may once again commence in the sequential manner until further branch instructions are encountered.
The foregoing techniques for deciding when to prefetch, on a sequential basis, instructions contained in a program memory 13, works well within blocks of instructions comprising the program. By recognizing when programs are not to be executed sequentially, the instruction cache may avoid a miss and avoid unnecessarily prefetching instructions which will not be used. This conserves bus cycle time, as well as polluting the instruction cache 12 with unused instructions.
Control over prefetching may also be effected by including explicit prefetch instructions at various points in the program, identifying to the cache and computer processor an instruction address to be executed and which is non-sequential.
FIG. 2 illustrates the memory 13 organization of a series of program instructions which are a part of a block beginning with instruction address 001. At address 010, there is a branch instruction, identifying a conditional target which is the beginning of the instruction block identified by address 001. Thus, sequential execution occurs for lines of instruction located at addresses 001 through 009.
Also shown in the block which begins with address 001 is an explicit prefetch instruction at address 009. The explicit prefetch instruction, when executed by the computer processor, will identify to the cache the instruction located at address 001, before the branch instruction is executed by the processor 11. Thus, by prefetching address 001, the target instruction for branch instruction at address 010 will be available in cache and avoid a miss before the execution of the branch instruction. Sequential prefetching may continue from address 001 at the next available bus cycle, permitting continued sequential prefetching of the instructions in memory 13.
Use of the explicit prefetch instruction is advantageous at the end of loops, wherein the program counter for the processor 11 would naturally jump back to the start of the loop. Branch instructions at the end of a loop are conditional, and, although a program instruction execution will eventually leave the loop, the higher probability is that the program instruction execution sequence will remain within the loop. Obviously, once the branch instruction 010 has been satisfied, and instruction 011 is to be executed, a miss will occur in the cache when the processor references the instruction 011. However, the miss penalty under this condition is far outweighed by prefetching the higher probability beginning loop instruction.
Subroutines contained within the program of memory 13 also cause a change in execution sequence, from a sequential instruction to a displaced instruction. The explicit prefetch instruction can be used when divergence instructions are encountered, such as "if " statements. Conditional instructions may also be preceded by a prefetch instruction to advantageously prefetch a non-sequential target instruction.
In selecting a location of a prefetch instruction, vis a vis, a branch instruction, such as to permit sufficient time for prefetching the required target instruction before execution of the branch instruction, the prefetch instruction should be located a number of instructions away from the branch instruction to permit ample prefetch time. In FIG. 2, this is illustrated as being only one address earlier.
It is also possible to include more than one prefetch instruction, identifying a second target from a branch instruction. This would then provide prefetched targets which would be available once the branch instruction is executed.
Overuse of the prefetch instructions for all branch instructions is to be avoided. It is clear that by inserting prefetch instructions that the branch target is prefetched ahead of execution, whether or not that branch target may be needed. This is additional bus cycle overhead to prefetch an instruction which may ultimately not be used.
It is clear that those skilled in the programming arts may selectively insert explicit cache prefetch instructions for those branch instructions which have a higher probability of having a cache miss for their branch targets. This would include branches which have a target with an absolute displacement from the branch instruction which is greater than the cache size. Employing the prefetch instruction for these conditions will reduce the probability of a cache miss without overburdening the bus 10 with instruction prefetches which are unnecessary. By observing the foregoing principle, that when a branch instruction requires transfer of program execution to an instruction having a displacement from the branch instruction greater than the cache size, the probability of having that branch target in cache is very low unless the instruction is explicitly fetched.
The foregoing techniques of providing explicit cache prefetching may be accomplished by using some hardware decoding logic in the instruction cache 12. By decoding the OPCODE of each prefetched instruction, it is possible to determine the presence of a branch instruction. When the OPCODE detection indicates that the instruction is part of an unconditional branch instruction, the sequential cache prefetch is stopped, and a prefetch of the branch target identified by the branch instruction is started. If the OPCODE is part of some condition branch instruction, instructions from different branch targets are prefetched according to any predetermined probability of executing those branches.
This predecoding of instructions prefetched in the instruction cache is to be distinguished from conventional techniques for prefetching branch instructions from a branch instruction currently being decoded and executed by the processor. In the prior art technique, any latency between detection of a branch OPCODE and actual use of the branch target would be very small. The present solution, however, proposes to inspect instructions which are in the instruction cache, before execution, prefetching branch targets based on the OPCODE decoding. Other techniques which take advantage of a pre-analysis of the program stored in the program memory 13 include selectively freezing the contents of the instruction cache 18. Using the foregoing sequential prefetching as the normal prefetch mode, it is possible to freeze elements of a block of instructions, in the instruction cache 12, which are likely to be used again. Rather than explicitly referencing back to these instructions, which were once used and then discarded, they are maintained in the instruction cache and may be read only and not replaced while the program is executing within the block.
Selective cache line freezing is useful in situations wherein the cache replacement policy is LRU (least recently used). In this circumstance, the last instruction to be used in the cache is replaced with the next prefetched instruction. Thus, when sequentially executing a block of instruction containing a loop having a size greater than the cache size, the loop instructions are continuously and sequentially fetched into the cache, referenced by the processor only once, and then immediately replaced before they are referenced again. This promotes an inefficient prefetching and demands on bus cycle time by constantly prefetching instructions which were reused only a few execution cycles earlier.
Referring to FIG. 3, there is shown a sequence of program instructions beginning with address 000 through address 100, which illustrates the process of freezing commonly used instructions. Contained within the block of program instructions of FIG. 3 is a branch instruction at address 010. By including a freeze bit with instruction 1, which may be a target instruction for the branch instruction at address 010, it is possible to hold this instruction in the cache and not permit it to be replaced until the program exits the loop to a higher numbered instruction. An unfreeze, explicit instruction may be located at address 011, which, after the loop has been completed within the block represented by instructions at addresses 001 through 010, permits these frozen instructions to be discarded on subsequent prefetch cycles.
FIG. 4 illustrates how instructions at addresses 001, 002 and 003 may be frozen in a portion of the cache, permitting prefetching only in lines 4, 5 and 6 of the cache. In this way, as the sequential prefetching of instructions from addresses 001 through 003 commence, they will be loaded into the cache and frozen. Instructions at addresses 004 through 009 will be prefetched, preferably two at a time, during subsequent available bus cycles, and executed by the processor. At the time of prefetching of the branch instruction at address 010, the instructions at addresses 001, 002 and 003 will have been frozen in the first three line portions of the cache. Thus, since 001 is a target of branch instruction at address 010, prefetching of the target instructions will not be necessary. Further, no prefetching will be necessary until instruction 003 has been executed, wherein the remaining sequential instructions at addresses 004 through 010 may be inserted in the unfrozen portion of the cache. Once the unfreeze instruction 011 has been referenced by the processor as a result of execution of the branch instruction, indicating that the loop is completed, the unfreeze instruction will permit all six (6) locations in the instruction cache to be used in sequential prefetching of further instructions.
To select which lines of a cache should be frozen, the following criteria should be considered.
The entry line of a basic block has the highest priority to be frozen in the cache. If the block of instructions includes a loop which has as its target the entry line of a basic block (a commonly encountered situation), no branch target prefetching will be necessary for loop execution of the entry line is frozen in the cache. By freezing the first one or two entry lines of a block of instructions, it is clear that when the processor references the target, i.e., the entry line, the instruction cache will already contain the requested instruction. This consequence will not only reduce bus traffic, but eliminate the need for explicit cache instruction to prefetch the branch target, or any extra hardware decoding for conducting OPCODE inspection.
The cache should be selectively frozen in such a way that the frozen cache lines and the implicit cache prefetching for the unfrozen portion of the cache are distributed uniformly across those instructions constituting a loop. The size of the frozen portion of the instruction cache should be as large as possible, being certain that the free unfrozen portion is sufficiently large to handle the remaining instructions of a loop.
FIG. 5 illustrates the architecture for implementing an instruction cache having a portion which can be frozen, i.e., only read and a portion which may be freely written and read. The processor 11 is shown having a program counter 18 which identifies the address of the next instruction to be executed. A prefetch unit 19, which is itself a processor, is shown which will supervise the prefetching of lines of instruction from memory 13, based upon the program counter 18 and the foregoing prefetching techniques.
Assuming that the entry instruction for a block of instructions has been identified by program counter 18 for the first time, i.e., a loop has not yet been entered, the prefetch unit 19 will determine whether or not the line has been previously prefetched, and is available in either the prefetch buffer 21, current buffer 20(b), or instruction cache 20(a). The prefetching unit 19 will generate a line request in response to the program counter 18 to be certain the next required instruction is available for the processor 11. The prefetching unit will initially check all the buffer units, i.e., P buffer 21, C buffer 20(b) and instruction cache 20(a) to determine whether a line containing the desired instruction is in one of these units. If there is a cache hit on any one of the buffer units, i.e., the requested instruction is present in these units, there is no prefetch necessary, and no request is made of the memory 13 for the instruction.
If a cache miss occurs, a prefetch request will be sent to the main memory on the next available time slot for bus 25. When the prefetched line arrives, which is normally the next sequential line or pairs of lines in a two line prefetch mode, they are inserted in the P buffer 21. The newly arrived lines replace the least recently used line of instructions, according to the LRU criteria.
When the processing unit issues the request for the next available instruction, as determined by program counter 18, all the buffers will be searched for the requisite instruction. If the requisite instruction is found on the prefetched buffer, the reference line is transferred to the current buffer. If the referenced line is found in the current buffer, all the contents of the buffers will remain the same. If the instruction requested is found in the instruction cache 20(a), the content of all the buffers remains unchanged.
The instruction cache 20(a) serves as a portion of the instruction cache which can be frozen. The free portion of the instruction cache is that denoted C buffer by 20(b).
The system of FIG. 5 will prefetch instructions from the memory 13 depending on the counter 18. When a hit is made by processor 11 on the P buffer 21, the referenced line is transferred to the current buffer. This will continue until the current buffer is full. Once the current buffer 20(b) is full, the LRU rule is invoked to transfer the least referenced instruction to the instruction cache 20(a) if the instruction cache is not frozen. If the instruction cache 20(a) is frozen, any line replaced from the C buffer 20(b) will not be put in instruction cache 20(a). Thus, once a freeze instruction has been executed by processor 11, the instruction cache 20(a) is frozen, thus retaining the previously fetched instructions therein. These will advantageously be the early lines of a loop of an instruction block or other such target instruction. The C buffer 20(b) is free to receive further prefetched instructions via the P buffer 21.
Thus, there are described several embodiments of an overall system for controlling prefetching of instructions from an instruction memory 13. These cache management techniques will reduce the required bus access time for prefetching instructions, while reducing the overall number of cache misses. Those skilled in the art will recognize yet other embodiments of the invention described more particularly by the claims which follow.

Previous Meth Project campaigns have received 40 advertising industry awards including two Gold Effie Awards, seven Gold Addy Awards, 18 Silver Addy Awards, the Cannes Lion Award, and seven AdCritic.com "Top Ten" Awards for the best ads in the United States. Additionally, the Meth Project was a finalist in 2007 for the Grand Effie Award, which goes to the year's most effective campaign.
The Meth Project was created to address what the United Nations International Narcotics Control Board and the National Association of Counties consider the number one drug problem in American -- methamphetamine. The Meth Project is a large-scale prevention program operating in Montana, Illinois, Idaho, Arizona, and Wyoming that is aimed at reducing first-time Meth use through public service messaging, public policy, and community outreach. Central to the program is a research-based marketing campaign that graphically communicates the risks of Meth use.
Concurrent with the launch of its latest advertising campaign, the Meth Project also announced the results of its 2008 Montana Meth Use and Attitudes Survey. The results show the Project's efforts have made powerful inroads in reaching teens. A majority of teens (84%) now voice strong disapproval of trying Meth even once or twice, and few teens surveyed now believe that using Meth offers any benefit.
The survey also notes that a vast majority of teens (85%) now say their
friends would give them a hard time if they ever tried Meth -- a 7%
increase over last year's survey. Further, parent-child discussions about
Meth are more frequent; a majority of teens report they h

Kistler Vineyards Hudson Chardonnay 2003
Chardonnay from Carneros, California
Critical Acclaim
International Wine Cellar - "Medium yellow with a fresh green tinge. Pungent, high-pitched aromas of orange oil, minerals and coconut, lifted by a minty topnote. Highly concentrated, bright and tightly wound, with exhilarating flavors of tangerine, orange pith and minerals. Quite backward, and yet this is more about fruit than the Hyde bottling. Very fresh wine, but not yet expansive.
Rating: 93+"
The Wine Advocate - "The 2003 Chardonnay Hudson E-Block has crisp acidity and a big, smoky, hazelnut-scented nose with a hint of ripe pear and various tropical fruits such as pineapple and mango. It is a traditional California Chardonnay with the oak well-integrated and the acidity zesty, giving uplifting vibrancy.
Range: 90-92"
Wine Spectator - "Exotic and smoky, with layers of fig, honeysuckle, citrus and marshmallow flavors that are full-blown and mouthcoating, ending with a smoky campfire aroma."

Kistler Vineyards
Founded in 1978, Kistler Vineyards is a small, family-owned and operated winery specializing in the production of Burgundian style Chardonnay and limited amounts of Pinot Noir. Grapes are estate grown and purchased from vineyards in Sonoma County. In 1992, Kistler Vineyards moved all production to its Vine Hill Road Vineyard in the Russian River Valley.

About CarnerosView a map of Carneros wineries
Technically a part of Napa Valley, the Carneros region straddles both Sonoma & Napa counties. It's the Napa region closest to the San Francisco peninsula and the San Pablo Bay, which is instrumental in controlling the climate of the area. The winds from the San Pablo bay create a cool weather pattern ideal for growing Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
Notable FactsBoth Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from Carneros are delicate, yet complex, with firm structure and acidity. And while the pair are the most popular varieties of the region, some winemakers have branched out, particularly with Syrah. The cool climate Syrah of Carneros is well structured and stylistically similar to Syrah from the Northern Rhone, though often fuller-bodied.
About CaliforniaIt's not rare to see a wine's country of origin listed as "California." A country into itself in the wine world, California makes enough varieties and styles to match many European wine countries. It produces a diverse range of wines that span the quality spectrum.
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

Alcohol By Volume GuideMost wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.
Wine Style Guide
Light & Crisp
- Light to medium bodied wines that are high in acid and light to medium fruit. Typically no oak.
Fruity & Smooth
- Light to medium bodied wines with lots of juicy fruit, typically medium acid and medium oak.
Rich & Creamy
- Full bodied wines that have typically undergone malo-lactic fermentation and/or spent time in oak.

Am I a graphics whore? Forced to Wii because of RROD
By Echelon730 1 Comments
So I like many gamers have a slight addiction to electronics devices, and I have been having some minor but none the less frustrating trouble as of late with my electronics.
If you read my last blog you should be aware that my 360 is now on its way back to Microsoft to get repaired or replaced. I can't complain it has been working for 2 1/2 years so it died right before the warranty went up on it. What is frustrating about that is the fact that Microsoft no longer sends out coffins to the users to make it really easy to box up and ship back to them. They offer to e mail you a shipping label but I lack a printer that works in my studio apartment, so I had to request the shipping label be sent to me. Oh well I am going to be a repaired box and get back on LIVE. I can't wait.
So because of this little time with out my 360 has made me play my Wii a lot more. I didn't seem to mind the Nintendo titles like Mario and Metroid Prime, but when I played Call of Duty World at War on there I was about ready to vomit because of the lack of graphical polish. Characters didn't animate right, seems between polys, muddy textures. It played fine and I found it very easy to manage, but the constant eye sore of third party games is just too much.
I am a firm believer that good art can over come any tech issues, but these games look like they are just throwing shit on Nintendo's wonder box just to get as few bucks from the unknown masses. Even some other third party Wii exclusives hurt to look at, like Sin and Punishment 2, look like a muddy mess.
Its not like the last generation of console were weak graphically, but it seems as if no one is willing to put out good things on the Wii, sometimes not even Nintendo at times.
Does this make me a graphics whore?

Patrick Peterson loves new crown-of-helmet rule
A chorus of running backs, but also receivers and defensive backs, have come out against the new rule making it illegal to lead with the crown-of-the-helmet outside the tackle box.
Arizona's third-year corner, Patrick Peterson, not only loves the rule. He went out of his way to praise commissioner Roger Goodell's moves to make the game safer.
"The game has definitely changed, but I believe the commissioner is changing the game for the good," Peterson said on ESPN 1100 in Las Vegas with Mitch Moss and Seat Williams, via SportsRadioInterviews.com.
"At the same time, these guys want to make the game as safe as possible, so [we] football players can have the longevity after our football careers. I think Roger Goodell is doing a great job trying to implement these rules and make the games as safe as possible. We don't want to go out there spearing guys and running backs dropping their helmets and chests. I actually love the rule."
Peterson also was asked about his former LSU teammate, Tyrann Mathieu, who has had numerous off-the-field problems but is now projected as a second- or third-round pick.
"I think he is definitely going to make it in the league," Peterson said. "He has a ton of potential to be the top guy in the league, as well. I just can't wait to see what team is going to take a chance on him and pick him up in the 2013 draft."

Chris Pizzello, Associated Press
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. — Silent film is taking over Hollywood's awards scene. The silent-era tale "The Artist" heads the Golden Globes with six nominations, among them best comedy or musical, and acting honors for its French stars, Jean Dujardin and Berenice Bejo.
Tied for second-place with five nominations Thursday are the 1960s racial tale "The Help" and George Clooney's Hawaiian family story "The Descendants." Both films are up for best drama, while Clooney was nominated for best dramatic actor and "The Help" earned acting slots for Viola Davis, Octavia Spencer and Jessica Chastain.
Also competing for best drama: Martin Scorsese's Paris adventure "Hugo"; Clooney's political thriller "The Ides of March"; Brad Pitt's baseball chronicle "Moneyball"; and Steven Spielberg's World War I epic "War Horse."
Joining "The Artist" in the best musical or comedy category are: the cancer story "50/50"; Kristen Wiig's wedding romp "Bridesmaids"; Woody Allen's romantic fantasy "Midnight in Paris"; and Michelle Williams' Marilyn Monroe tale "My Week With Marilyn."
Dujardin, who won the best-actor prize for "The Artist" in its premiere at last May's Cannes Film Festival, was nominated for best actor in a musical or comedy. He plays a silent-film star whose career nosedives as talking pictures take over in the late 1920s in "The Artist," which has virtually no spoken dialogue and is shot in the boxy, black-and-white format of the silent era.
The actor called his nomination an "incredible gift."
"To be recognized alongside such brilliant actors is an honor," Dujardin said. "The Golden Globe nomination for 'The Artist' has left me speechless!"
"The Artist" also picked up a supporting actress honor for Bejo as a rising star of the sound era. Filmmaker Michel Hazanavicius earned directing and screenplay nominations for the film, which also is up for best musical score.
Clooney has three nominations. Besides best dramatic actor as a neglectful dad tending his daughters in "The Descendants," he's up for directing and screenplay for "The Ides of March." For the acting prize, Clooney will compete against his "Ides" co-star Ryan Gosling, who plays a presidential candidate's aide. Gosling had a second nomination for best musical or comedy actor as a ladies man in the romance "Crazy, Stupid, Love."
Glenn Close is also a dual contender, as best dramatic actress as a woman masquerading as a male butler in the Irish drama "Albert Nobbs" and for best song for writing the lyrics to "Lay Your Head Down," the film's theme tune.
Also nominated for dramatic actress: Davis as a black maid going public with stories about her white employer in "The Help"; Rooney Mara as a traumatized victim-turned-avenger in "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo"; Meryl Streep as British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher in "The Iron Lady"; and Tilda Swinton as a grieving woman coping with her son's terrible deeds in "We Need to Talk About Kevin."
Clooney has another pal in the dramatic actor race, his "Ocean's Eleven" franchise co-star Pitt, who's nominated for his "Moneyball" role as Oakland A's general manager Billy Beane. And Clooney also is competing for best director against his boss in "The Descendants," filmmaker Alexander Payne.
Gosling, Clooney and Pitt are up against Leonardo DiCaprio as FBI boss J. Edgar Hoover in "J. Edgar" and Michael Fassbender as a sex addict in "Shame."
Pitt's romantic partner, Angelina Jolie, picked up a nomination for foreign-language film for her directing debut, the Bosnian war drama "In the Land of Blood and Honey."
Scorsese for "Hugo" and Allen for "Midnight in Paris" join Clooney, Hazanavicius and Payne in the directing category.

The finalists for the Crystal Cabin Awards for excellence in aircraft interiors innovation have been named. One of them, a University submission from TU München in Munich, is for a so-called Time Economy Chair, a concept conceived for special short rangeflights, "where commuters and travellers have nothing but carry-onluggage with themselves", according to a brief […]

Staying seated on James Park Associates' Cirrus
During the Paris air show in June, I broke the story that US Airways would launch the James Park Associates (JPA)-designed Cirrus seat on its new Airbus A330s. Some journalists tried to debunk my story, referencing vague quotes from US Airways that the seat RWG sat on in Paris was not the seat being selected […]
Look who is launching the Cirrus seat – US Airways!!!
US Airways, a carrier that is not known for innovation in the interiors space, is about to make a very bold move by launching Sicma Aero Seat's ultra-cool Cirrus lie-flat bed on its new Airbus A330-200s. The seat, which was designed by James Park Associates and unveiled at the Aircraft Interiors show in Hamburg, is on […]

James Park on good design
In recent years Japan Airlines (JAL) has scooped up awards for its cabin interiors. Now the carrier has been honoured with a Good Design Award by The Chicago Athenaeum: museum of architecture and design for its scoopalicious chopsticks for first class dining. Made of cedar wood, the smooth surfaced chopsticks have been slightly narrowed towards […]
Can we sleep together?
There is nothing new about the idea of stacked sleepers on aircraft. The Boeing Stratoliner, which boasted a near 12ft wide cabin, had plenty of room for sleeping berths. And that operated commercial flights back in the 1940s. In the mid-1980s, first-class passengers on Philippine Airlines could sleep through overnight flights in upper-and lower-level bunk […]
James Park's stacked sleeper bed revealed!
As someone who has great trouble sleeping, I am a fan of anything that can facilitate this basic of human needs. Warm milk, hot baths, sleepy time tea, prescription meds, I try them all in search of what is sometimes an ellusive goal. But even the heaviest dose of narcotics won't put me to sleep […]

Comparable to the anky euro. I sat in that saddle and love love love loved it, but there is no way I'll be able to afford that for a long time. And I've never once seen one come up used in the size I'd need (actually, I've only seen one used one for sale ever!)
So are there any more affordable saddles whose styling is similar to that?

Tofino, Canada — For man is born for trouble, and sparks fly upward. — Job 5:7
The story begins in that tumultuous epoch known collectively as the Sixties. Each summer, the west coast of Vancouver Island was swarmed by thousands of American draft resisters, hippies, Jesus freaks, nudists and assorted other shaggy-haired foot soldiers of the era. In short, it was a scene.
Makeshift lean-tos, shacks and tents covered the run of rugged beaches south of Tofino, now a popular tourist destination, but then a quiet village of fishing families and loggers. Drugs were everywhere, and shoplifting in town was epidemic. Most of the visitors traveled around by thumb.
Ken Gibson, a retired dock builder, would often pick up hitchhikers "if they didn't look too squirrelly, just to talk to them: 'What's this all about? What's the kick? What are you hoping to get out of this?' "
Joseph Henry Burgess came late to Tofino's freewheeling period, arriving on the island in May 1972. Tall, skinny and bearded, the 25-year-old Burgess had fled to Canada from New Jersey in 1968 after failing to report for induction into the Army.
He hung around Canada's eastern cities for a few years. He held down odd jobs. He bounced checks. He trained as a bush pilot. He also, according to a Royal Canadian Mounted Police synopsis of his movements, was not a stranger to drugs.
On his way west, authorities recounted, Burgess purchased a Gevarm rifle, a .22-caliber, semiautomatic that could be fitted with a 20-round clip and broken down to carry in a duffel bag. Later, he bragged about his marksmanship.
Born in Jersey City to a prominent Catholic family, Burgess attended a Jesuit college and taught Bible classes. By the time he reached Vancouver Island, he had plunged headlong into more unconventional spiritual thickets. He had become, as one acquaintance told police, "a Jesus freak."
As a police summary said: "Witnesses that had contact with BURGESS at the time stated that he would quote the Bible and speak of the 'Wrath of God,' always ending his conversation with 'Amen.' "
Burgess, who earlier had assumed the surname of Burke, now called himself Job Weeks or just Job — from the Old Testament figure whose faith was so fiercely tested. He moved into a small, one-house Children of God commune in Port Alberni, but barely lasted a week. The Gevarm rifle made his housemates nervous.
So the self-proclaimed "prophet of God" bought some ammo and moved to Radar Beach, a few miles south of Tofino. As he left the commune, he vowed to live as a hermit until he "heard from the Lord." In his week on the beach, according to Canadian police reports, Burgess was seen with outdoor survival manuals. He was seen beside a stream, attempting to teach others to pray. He was seen cleaning his rifle.
He also made a rather awkward, and unsuccessful, pass at a sunbathing woman. "She was in the buff," recalled Dan Creally, a retired Canadian police investigator, flipping through his original case notebooks, "and he was quoting from the Book of Job, and all the while he was sizing her up."
Burgess complained to this woman about a newly arrived couple — young, Christian and unwed — who had set up camp together near the communal water hole back in the woods, a short walk from the beach.
"He did not approve," she told investigators, of their "being together."
About two days after this exchange, the bodies of Ann Barbara Durrant, a Canadian who had just celebrated her 20th birthday, and Leif Bertil Carlsson, a 19-year-old exchange student from Sweden, were found in their camp by the water hole.
Clad in T-shirts and nestled together under a single sleeping bag, they appeared to have been asleep when struck at close range by rounds from a .22-caliber rifle, later determined to be a Gevarm. Durrant had been hit five times, four shots to the head and one that passed through her hand and hip. Carlsson was shot four times, all in the head.
By the time the bodies were found, Burgess was gone. In what appeared to be a hasty evacuation, he left behind a Canadian health card, biblical verses on scraps of paper and a rifle-cleaning kit.

View the original article at: http://www.nationalenquirer.com/celebrity/cameron-diaz-far-from-madden-benji-joel-jealous-trainwreck
FEARING a heartbreaking train wreck, Joel Madden is urging twin brother Benji to put the brakes on his fast-moving romance with Cameron Diaz, The National ENQUIRER has learned.
The "Good Charlotte" singer, 35, is concerned it's a case of too serious too soon for his smitten sibling and the 42-year-old hottie.
As reported, the love-struck duo – who've only been dating since May – are already talking marriage and babies!
But Joel is worried because "he knows his brother is a sucker for a beautiful woman," said a friend.
"Joel actually likes Cameron a lot and thinks they're a good match, but he doesn't want Benji to rush into something so quickly. It's way too soon to be talking marriage, and Joel told him so. He's told him to slow down and enjoy the dating phase, or he could end up making a terrible mistake."
The lovebirds have been inseparable since being introduced by Joel's wife, Nicole Richie.
It was love at first sight for Madden – who once dated Paris Hilton and Playboy beauty Holly Madison – and Cameron, whose exes include Justin Timberlake, Jude Law and baseballer Alex Rodriguez.
During a steamy European getaway, photographs showed they couldn't keep their hands off each other.
Sources say Diaz has moved Benji into her Hollywood Hills home as they try for a baby and plan a summer wedding.
But, said a close source, "Joel reminded Benji that while it's good to follow your heart, it's not smart to be diving headfirst, especially if they're talking about children.""It seems Benji is still awestruck that he's dating Cameron Diaz, but his brother wants him to get a grip on reality and slow things down before moving forward with long-term plans."

Dynamo rule out Moffat for Sunday's match
By Jose de Jesus Ortiz | November 13, 2012 | Updated: November 14, 2012 12:05am
Photo By Mayra Beltran/StaffA concussion will keep Adam Moffat, left, from playing in the second leg of the East finals.
Dynamo holding midfielder Adam Moffat, who has been stellar in the MLS playoffs, was ruled out of Sunday's second leg of the Eastern Conference finals against D.C. United because of a concussion.
Moffat, who scored the winning goal in the first leg of the Eastern Conference semifinals against Sporting Kansas City, was injured in the first half Sunday when he was hit high and from behind by D.C. United's Robbie Russell.
With Moffat out, the Dynamo must hope fellow holding midfielder Ricardo Clark returns after missing the first leg of the Eastern Conference finals with an adductor strain.
Clark participated in part of Tuesday's practice and appears to be making progress.
Midfielder Luiz Camargo, who started in place of Clark in Sunday's 3-1 victory over D.C., is likely to replace Moffat in the lineup if Clark returns as expected.

Marianne Moore
Baseball And Writing - Poem by Marianne Moore
Fanaticism?No.Writing is exciting
and baseball is like writing.
You can never tell with either
how it will go
or what you will do;
generating excitement--
a fever in the victim--
pitcher, catcher, fielder, batter.
Victim in what category?
Owlman watching from the press box?
To whom does it apply?
Who is excited?Might it be I?
It's a pitcher's battle all the way--a duel--
a catcher's, as, with cruel
puma paw, Elston Howard lumbers lightly
back to plate.(His spring
de-winged a bat swing.)
They have that killer instinct;
yet Elston--whose catching
arm has hurt them all with the bat--
when questioned, says, unenviously,
"I'm very satisfied.We won."
Shorn of the batting crown, says, "We";
robbed by a technicality.
When three players on a side play three positions
and modify conditions,
the massive run need not be everything.
"Going, going . . . "Is
it?Roger Maris
has it, running fast.You will
never see a finer catch.Well . . .
"Mickey, leaping like the devil"--why
gild it, although deer sounds better--
snares what was speeding towards its treetop nest,
one-handing the souvenir-to-be
meant to be caught by you or me.
Assign Yogi Berra to Cape Canaveral;
he could handle any missile.
He is no feather."Strike! . . . Strike two!"
Fouled back.A blur.
It's gone.You would infer
that the bat had eyes.
He put the wood to that one.
Praised, Skowron says, "Thanks, Mel.
I think I helped a little bit."
All business, each, and modesty.
Blanchard, Richardson, Kubek, Boyer.
In that galaxy of nine, say which
won the pennant?Each.It was he.
Those two magnificent saves from the knee-throws
by Boyer, finesses in twos--
like Whitey's three kinds of pitch and pre-
with pick-off psychosis.
Pitching is a large subject.
Your arm, too true at first, can learn to
catch your corners--even trouble
Mickey Mantle.("Grazed a Yankee!
My baby pitcher, Montejo!"
With some pedagogy,
you'll be tough, premature prodigy.)
They crowd him and curve him and aim for the knees.Trying
indeed!The secret implying:
"I can stand here, bat held steady."
One may suit him;
none has hit him.
Imponderables smite him.
Muscle kinks, infections, spike wounds
require food, rest, respite from ruffians.(Drat it!
Celebrity costs privacy!)
Cow's milk, "tiger's milk," soy milk, carrot juice,
brewer's yeast (high-potency--
concentrates presage victory
sped by Luis Arroyo, Hector Lopez--
deadly in a pinch.And "Yes,
it's work; I want you to bear down,
but enjoy it
while you're doing it."
Mr. Houk and Mr. Sain,
if you have a rummage sale,
don't sell Roland Sheldon or Tom Tresh.
Studded with stars in belt and crown,
the Stadium is an adastrium.
O flashing Orion,
your stars are muscled like the lion.

"Located near one of Paris's most upscale shopping districts in the 1st Arrondissement, the Hôtel Costes is a magnet for the fashion-forward, chic crowd. The hotel features luxurious guest rooms decorated in bright colors and accented with Napoleon III pieces, as well as a fitness center and outdoor swimming pool. The real attraction at the Hôtel Costes is, however, its nightlife. As the evening wears on, the lobby, bars, and restaurant convert into a nightclub with deejays. The hotel's club scene has attracted such celebrities..." read more on Travel + Leisure

My 16-year career in two legislatures (eight in the Maryland General Assembly and eight in Congress) included many debates on the most divisive issues of our time: Capital punishment, affirmative action, war and peace, impeachment, entitlement reform and abortion rights were guaranteed to generate partisan strife and emotional debate.
No issue generated more emotion than a woman's right to choose. Intense, emotional debates produced a unique lexicon, as legislators debated the merits and implications of "judicial bypass," "parental consent," "partial birth" and the many complexities attendant to Medicaid (taxpayer) funding under certain circumstances.

Menands residents who attended the meeting argued that by passing the resolution, the situation will be detrimental for them.
"This is going to have a very negative impact on the residents of Menands," said Joe Condon.
Condon later praised Mahan and the work she has been doing to restore fiscal stability to the town, though he said he did not support the resolution even after hearing Mahan's and Monfil's explanations of why it needed to be enacted.
The eight Menands residents who spoke at the meeting-none in favor of the resolution-were informed about the resolution after Menands Union Free School District Superintendent Kathy Meany sent a letter home to district residents informing them about the resolution and advising them that their school taxes will go up at least 8 percent in the 2010-2011 school year.
"Even without any increase in school district expenditures, this proposed change will result in an increase in school taxes of up to 8 percent for the 2010-2011 school year. A reduction of state aid due to the state fiscal situation would result in a school tax increase of even more than 8 percent," the letter reads.
Mahan encouraged Meany to put together a committee so that the school district can look at ways to mitigate the issue through reducing school taxes.
"I would be more than happy to sit on that committee," Mahan said. "We have to stay within the law and we have to do to stay within the law."
After the resolution was passed, Meany said the school district will have to look into ways to trim their budget as to avoid a tremendous tax increase.
"We'll have to because we know what people are facing financially," she said, adding that as a result, district resources will have to be reduced.

text: This one has baffled me for a long time. In Japanese society (and not just Japan), it is common, even expected to take off your shoes before entering a home. The reason should be obvious: Walking around all day, you may unknowingly pick up dirt or dog poo so the keep the inside of your or anybody else's home clean, you would take off your shoes at the entrance before entering. I'm not even Japanese and even I take off my shoes before entering my home. I do so because I like the inside of my humble abode to be clean. It is simple common sense. But I guess common sense isn't very common these days. So the question I pose to you isn't the typical culture-shock "Why do Japanese people take off their shoes before entering a house" Merely my question is "Why don't Americans (and anybody else who doesn't do the same thing) do the same thing?" Surely, America, being one of the most religious 1st world countries in the world should be aware of the phrase "Cleanliness is next to Godliness" and should have the highest rates of taking shoes off before entering homes.

This is a film out of Austria from a group of rippers. May be hard to understand some of the talking, but the riding speaks for itself.
Web Site
It's the best time to make a few plans for the future and it is time to be happy. I've read this post and if I could I wish to counsel you some attention-grabbing things or suggestions. Perhaps you can write next articles regarding this article. I wish to read even more things about it!
My brother suggested I might like this web site.
He was totally right. This post
actually made my day. You can not imagine just how much time I had spent for this
info! Thanks!
I would like to express my appreciation to
this writer for rescuing me from such a
issue. Right after searching throughout the world-wide-web and finding
notions which were not productive, I figured my life was
over. Existing without the
solutions to the issues you've
resolved by way of your main website is a serious case, as well as the ones
that might have in a wrong way
affected my entire career if I had not discovered your blog. The competence and kindness in playing with all the stuff was vital. I'm not sure what I
would have done if I hadn't come upon such a stuff like this. I'm able to at this point look ahead to my future.
Thanks so
much for this reliable and
results-oriented guide. I won't be reluctant to endorse the sites to any person who would need tips
on this topic.
