Holy cow, I wrote a book!
As a follow-up to
my tip on speeding up connecting via RAS and a SmartCard,
I've been told that another trick you can do is to disable your
wireless networking card before initiating the VPN connection.
Wireless networking cards are a huge attack surface,
and the VPN software spends a lot of time trying to secure it.
I don't have a wireless networking card on the machine I use at home
to connect to the work network, so I haven't tried it,
but who knows, maybe it'll work for you.
Because you told it to.
If you run Task Manager, highlight a critical system process like
Winlogon, click End Task, and confirm,
then gosh darn it, you just killed Winlogon,
and the system will reboot.
(Assuming, of course, that you have sufficient privileges to terminate
Winlogon in the first place.)
Task Manager in earlier versions of Windows would try to stop you from
killing these critical system processes, but its algorithm for
deciding which processes were critical wasn't very smart,
and if you were sufficiently devious, you could fake it out
and make your program seemingly
To avoid being faked out, Task Manager simply stopped trying.
Because if you don't do anything, then you can't do it wrong.
¹Of course,
it was no such thing.
You could still kill the program; you just had to use a program
other than Task Manager to do it.
(For example, you might try
Commenter Demeli asks,
"Why does Winlogon take down the entire system
when you attach a debugger to it? (drwtsn32 -p <pid of Winlogon>)"
This question already has a mistaken in it.
Running drwtsn32 on a process isn't attaching a debugger to it.
Attaching a debugger would be something like
ntsd -p <pid of Winlogon>,
and this does work,
assuming you have the necessary privileges, of course.
(Indeed, this is how the Windows team debugs problems with Winlogon.)
In other words, the literal answer to the question is
"No, Winlogon does not take down the entire system when you
attach a debugger to it."
ntsd -p <pid of Winlogon>
What drwtsn32 does is take a crash dump of the process
and then kills the target process.
And it is killing Winlogon that crashes the system.
Winlogon is what is known as a "critical system process",
the death of which forces a system restart.
And you can probably guess why the system considers Winlogon critical
to its functioning.
For example,
Winlogon is responsible for handling the secure attention sequence,
also known as Ctrl+Alt+Del.
If Winlogon were to die, then the secure attention sequence would stop
That's kind of bad.
One of the features added to
version 6 of the shell common controls
is a warning balloon that appears if CapsLock is on in a password control.
Let's demonstrate.
Take the
scratch program,
add a manifest that requests version 6 of the common controls
(perhaps by using
a Visual C++ extension),
and add the following:
OnCreate(HWND hwnd, LPCREATESTRUCT lpcs)
g_hwndChild = CreateWindow(TEXT("edit"), NULL,
0, 0, hwnd, NULL, g_hinst, 0);
if (!g_hwndChild) return FALSE;
return TRUE;
Run this program and hit the CapsLock key.
The warning balloon should appear.
(If it doesn't, then your manifest is probably not working.)
Suppose you want to suppress this warning balloon.
Why? I don't know. Maybe you want to confuse your user.
Maybe you think it looks ugly.
Whatever the reason, you can suppress the balloon by
subclassing the edit control and swallowing the
EM_SHOWBALLOONTIP message.
WNDPROC g_wpEdit;
LRESULT CALLBACK NoBalloonWndProc(HWND hwnd, UINT uMsg,
WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
switch (uMsg) {
case EM_SHOWBALLOONTIP: return FALSE;
return CallWindowProc(g_wpEdit, hwnd, uMsg, wParam, lParam);
OnCreate(HWND hwnd, LPCREATESTRUCT lpcs)
g_hwndChild = CreateWindow(TEXT("edit"), NULL,
0, 0, hwnd, NULL, g_hinst, 0);
if (!g_hwndChild) return FALSE;
g_wpEdit = SubclassWindow(g_hwndChild, NoBalloonWndProc);
return TRUE;
When you run this modified program,
you'll see that the balloon tip no longer appears
because the subclass procedure intercepts all the
balloon tips before the default edit control window
procedure can see them.

People who ask this question invariably under-specify
the question.
They just say,
"How can I increase the number of files I can open at a time?"
without saying how they're opening them.
From the operating system's point of view,
the number of files you can open at a time is limited only
by available resources.
Call CreateFile until you drop.
(This remark applies to local files.
When you talk over the network,
The fact that these people are asking the question, however,
indicates that they're not using CreateFile to
open the files.
They're using some other intermediate layer,
and it's that layer that is imposing some sort of limit.
You'll have to investigate that layer to see what
you can do about raising the limit.
Windows Vista displays a big scary dialog when
the hard drive's on-board circuitry reports that the hardware
is starting to fail.
Yet if you go to the Disk Management snap-in,
it reports that the drive is Healthy.
What's up with that?
The Disk Management snap-in is interested in the logical structure of
the drive.
Is the partition table consistent?
Is there enough information in the volume to allow the operating system
to mount it?
It doesn't know about the drive's physical condition.
In other words,
"As far as the Disk Management snap-in is concerned, the drive is healthy."
Similarly, your car's on-board GPS may tell you that you are on track
for a 6pm arrival at your destination,
unaware that you have an oil leak that is going to force you to the
side of the road sooner or later.
All the GPS cares about is that the car is travelling along the correct road.

This Microspeak entry was submitted by a colleague from the UK,
so it may be peculiar to the UK dialect of Microspeak.
Pre-emptive clever comment:
Commenter ulric
suggested that
two functions for obtaining the "current" window should exist,
one for normal everyday use and one for "special use" when you want
to interact with windows outside your process.
I'd be more at ease however if the default behaviour of the API
was to return HWND for the current process only,
and the apps that really need HWND from
other potentially other processes
would have to be forced to use
another API that is specifically just for that.
This is an excellent example of
suggesting something that Windows already does.
The special function has become so non-special,
you don't even realize any more that it's special.
Originally, in 16-bit Windows, the function for getting the "current"
window was GetActiveWindow.
This obtained the active window across the entire system.
One of the major changes in Win32 is the asynchronous input model,
wherein windows from different input queues receive separate input.
That way, one program that has stopped responding to input
doesn't clog up input for other unrelated windows.
Win32 changed the meaning of GetActiveWindow to mean
the active window from the current input queue.
In 16-bit Windows, there was only one input queue, the global one.
In 32-bit Windows, each thread (or group of input-attached threads)
gets its own input queue.
As a result of this finer granularity,
when a program was ported from 16-bit Windows to 32-bit Windows,
it didn't "see" windows from other programs when it called
functions like GetFocus
or GetActiveWindow.
As every Win32 programmer should know,
these states are local to your input queue.
Okay, let's look at what we've got now.
GetFocus and GetActiveWindow give you
the status of your input queue.
In other words, in a single-threaded program (which, if you're
coming from 16-bit Windows, is the only type of program there is),
GetActiveWindow gives you the active window from
your program.
It doesn't return the active window from another program.¹
Things are exactly as ulric suggested!
Now let's look at the second half of the suggestion.
If a program really needs to get a window from potentially
other processes, it would have to use some other function that
is specifically just for that.
And indeed, that's why the
GetForegroundWindow function was added.
The GetForegroundWindow function is
the special
function specifically designed for obtaining windows from
other processes.
Therefore, we did exactly what ulric recommended,
and it still turned into a mess.
Because once you create something special,
it doesn't remain special for long.
It may take a while, but eventually people find that the
regular function "doesn't work"
(for various definitions of "work"),
and they ask around for help.
"When I call GetActiveWindow,
I'm not getting the global active window;
I'm just getting the local one.
How do I get the global one?"
Actually, they probably don't even formulate the question
that clearly.
It's probably more like
"I want to get the active window, but GetActiveWindow
doesn't work."
And then somebody responds with
"Yeah, GetActiveWindow doesn't work.
I've found that GetForegroundWindow works a lot better."
The response is then
"Wow, that works great! Thanks!"
Eventually, the word on the street is
"GetActiveWindow doesn't work.
Use GetForegroundWindow instead."
Soon, people are using it for everything,
waxing their car,
calming a colicky baby,
or improving their sexual attractiveness.
What used to be a function to be used "only in those rare
occasions when you really need it"
has become
"the go-to function that gets the job done."
In fact, the unfashionableness of the active window has reached the point
that people have given up on calling it the active window at all!
Instead, they call it
the foreground window from the current process.
It's like calling a land line a "wired cell phone".
Requiring a new flag to get the special behavior
doesn't change things at all.
It's the same story, just with different names for the characters.
"GetFocalWindow² doesn't work unless you pass the
GFW_CROSSPROCESS flag."
Soon, everybody will be passing the
GFW_CROSSPROCESS not because they understand what it does
but just because "That's what I was told to do"
and "It doesn't work if I don't pass it."
¹Assuming you haven't run around attaching your thread
to some other program's input queue.
This is a pretty safe assumption
since the AttachThreadInput function
didn't exist in 16-bit Windows either.
²GetFocalWindow is an imaginary function created
for the purpose of the example.
When I cross the border into Canada, there's almost always a story.
Rarely is there an uneventful crossing.
In 2007, I attended a wedding in Vancouver, BC,
and here's how the conversation went at the border crossing into Canada:
Me: Good morning. (As I hand over passports and
green cards
for everybody in the car.)
Border guard: Hello. What is the purpose of your visit?
Me: A wedding.
Border guard: How long will you be in Canada?
(Looks over the documents and compares the faces against the
people in the car.)
Me: Just one day.
Border guard: Bringing any gifts?
I didn't bring any gifts (in the traditional Western sense),
but maybe the other guests did.
I look to the passenger sitting next to me.
Passenger: No.
Border guard: No gifts?
Passenger: Just
hong bao.
Red envelopes with money.
The border guard is by now completely confused
and gives us a look like,
"Didn't your mother teach you anything?
You're showing up at a wedding empty-handed?
Well, it's too late now.
I'm certainly not going to try to teach you proper manners.
You're on your own."
Border guard: (Hands us our papers and waves us through.)
All right.
Vancouver has a large Chinese community,
the largest in all of Canada.
About ten percent of the B.C. population is ethnic Chinese,
Mandarin and Cantonese are the mother tongues in
30 percent of Vancouver homes.
This was a relative young person, so who knows, maybe the border guard
was new on the job.
But you'd think that even after just one summer working the Canadian
border near Vancouver,
the guard would have encountered at least a few
red envelopes by now.
Bonus chatter:
One of my friends often visits her family in Canada
for birthdays and other family events.
When she does so,
she buys the gift in Canada or has some other plan that avoids
having to carry the gift across the border.
The conversation at the border is similar to the one I described above,
where the border guard asks if she is bringing any gifts,
and she answers that she isn't.
My friend figures that in a database somewhere in the Ministry
of Public Safety,
they have a record on her that simply reads, "Cheapskate."
Many of the normal interlocked operations
come with variants called
InterlockedXxxAcquire and InterlockedXxxRelease.
What do the terms Acquire and
Release mean here?
They have to do with the memory model and how aggressively
the CPU can reorder operations around it.
An operation with acquire semantics is one which does not
permit subsequent memory operations to be advanced before it.
an operation with release semantics is one which does not
permit preceding memory operations to be delayed past it.
(This is pretty much the same thing that
MSDN says on the subject of Acquire and Release Semantics.)
Consider the following code fragment:
int adjustment = CalculateAdjustment();
while (InterlockedCompareExchangeAcquire(&lock, 1, 0) != 0)
{ /* spin lock */ }
for (Node *node = ListHead; node; node = node->Next)
node->value += adjustment;
InterlockedExchangeRelease(&lock, 0);
Applying Acquire semantics to the first operation
operation ensures that the operations on the linked list
are performed
only after the lock variable
has been updated.
This is obviously desired here, since the purpose of the
updating the lock variable is ensure that
no other threads are updating the list while we're walking it.
Only after we have successfully set the lock to 1
is it safe to read from ListHead.
On the other hand,
the Acquire operation imposes no constraints upon when
the store to the adjustment variable can be
completed to memory.
(Of course, there may very well be
other constraints on the adjustment
but the Acquire does not add any new constraints.)
Conversely, Release semantics for an interlocked
operation prevent pending memory operations from being delayed
past the operation.
In our example, this means that the stores to
node->value must all complete
before the interlocked variable's value changes
back to zero.
This is also desired, because the purpose of the lock
is to control access to the linked list.
If we had completed the stores after the lock was released,
then somebody else could have snuck in, taken the lock,
and, say, deleted an entry from the linked list.
And then when our pending writes completed, they would end up
writing to memory that has been freed. Oops.
The easy way to remember the difference between Acquire
and Release
is that Acquire is typically used when you are acquiring a resource
(in this case, taking a lock),
Release is typically used when you are releasing the resource.
the MSDN article on acquire and release semantics already notes,
the plain versions of the interlocked functions impose both acquire
and release semantics.

into acquires and releases.

Open Ravioli with Squash & Porcini Mushrooms
|Butternut squash
|1 Pound, peeled and chopped (450 Gram)
|1 Ounce (25 Gram)
|Grated nutmeg
|3 Tablespoon (Generous Grating)
|Parmesan cheese
|1 Ounce, coarsely grated (25 Gram, Vegetarian-Style)
|Dried porcini mushroom
|1 Tablespoon, finely chopped
|Olive oil
|2 Tablespoon
|Balsamic vinegar
|1 Teaspoon
|Soy sauce
|2 Teaspoon
|1 Pinch (Generous Pinch)
|Chestnut mushrooms
|3 Ounce, quartered (85 Gram)
|1 Clove (5 gm), shredded (Fat Clove)
|Baby spinach
|100 Gram (1 Bag)
|Lasagna sheets
|4 , halved
1. Put the squash and butter in a pan with 5 tbsp water. Tightly cover pan and cook for 15 mins until the squash is just tender, but not coloured. Roughly mash with seasoning, nutmeg and Parmesan (A).
2. Meanwhile, make the dressing. Put the chopped porcini in a small bowl with 3 tbsp boiling water. Cover with cling film and cook for 1 min in the microwave on High, then leave to cool. Mix 1 tbsp oil with the vinegar and soy, then add the soaked mushrooms with almost all of the liquid (leave the last drop behind as it might contain grit).
3. To serve, boil a pan of water with the saffron and some salt for 5 mins to extract some colour and flavour. Meanwhile, fry the mushrooms in the remaining oil. When they are nearly cooked, add the garlic so that it browns and crisps, but doesn't burn. Pierce the bag of spinach and wilt in the microwave for 1 min. Reheat the squash in the microwave, too.
4. Boil the lasagne for 1 min until just tender, then drain (B). Put 3 little piles of spinach on 2 warm serving plates. Top each with a square of lasagne, then a spoonful of squash - spread it out a little, add a few spinach leaves, then top with another square of pasta. Continue these layers until you end up with a stack of 4 layers of pasta on each plate, then top each with a spoonful of squash (C). Scatter round the garlicky mushrooms, generously spoon over the dressing, or allow guest to help themselves at the table, and sprinkle over some Parmesan shavings, if you like.

No. 1 pick Anthony Bennett officially signs with Cavaliers
Aug 21, 2013, 8:01 AM EDT
Anthony Bennett is still recovering from shoulder surgery, but his arm is working well enough to sign his first NBA contract.
The Cavaliers have officially signed Bennett to his rookie deal, which is for four years and a little over $22 million, the team announced.
Bennett was the surprise No. 1 overall pick out of UNLV. He's a 6'7" power forward who will come off the bench at first behind Anderson Varejao, but who the Cavs see as a starter soon.
The tools he has were never the question — Bennett is long, physically strong and in college was just a beast around the basket. He can get out and run the floor and he can finish with authority (he was one of college basketball's better dunkers). He's shown flashes of an outside shot and handles, but those areas need to improve. So will his defense. But all the tools are there.
We did not get to see those tools on display at Summer League or anywhere else since he's been picked due to shoulder surgery that took place before the draft. Bennett is expected to be ready to go by training camp.
The Cavaliers are Kyrie Irving's team, and they have the Andrew Bynum sideshow now. But clearly they see Bennett as a big part of their future, and now they have him formally signed.
- ljl2 - Aug 21, 2013 at 8:12 AM
Are you saying he is the second big off the bench after Varejao or that he's coming in to sub Varejao at PF? If the first, agreed. If the second, Tristan will be starting at PF, not Varejao.
- adamsjohn714 - Aug 21, 2013 at 2:55 PM
Varejao should be starting. He's really good.
- ljl2 - Aug 23, 2013 at 1:16 PM
Fit matters. And Varejao is good, but he's not a PF anymore in how the league has shifted. He needs to be around 25 minutes to stay healthy and not get burnt out by his style.
- adamsjohn714 - Aug 23, 2013 at 9:41 PM
Yeah the league doesn't need excellent rebounders. It needs all the tall people to be mediocre shooters from a long way from the basket. Brilliant. Injuries are largely random and they happen to every team.
- carussel88 - Aug 21, 2013 at 8:53 AM
At least they were smart enough to avoid nerlens noel…. And I see Bennett playing the 3 and rotating through the 4.
- muhangis - Aug 22, 2013 at 9:07 AM
Shows how little you know about basketball. Noel easily was the best player in the draft, and I'm no UK fan. Facts are truth, and truth are facts.
Besides his weight, why avoid Noel? Show you know something about basketball.
Nerlens Noel not as good as Anthony Davis, yet the best player in the '13 draft by a long shot! (In 2 yrs be proven kid!)
- muhangis - Aug 22, 2013 at 9:08 AM
You're probably the same one who said avoid Andre Drummond or DeMarcus Cousins, lol…. Aren't you? Fool.
- adamsjohn714 - Aug 23, 2013 at 9:15 AM
umm Drummond's college numbers weren't all that favorable against the other big men drafted that year. Cousins hasn't been very good for the Kings yet. Lots of points on lots of shots. Lots of long range misses. Oladipo, I believe, will be a Kawhi Leonard type talent. Excellent player.
- imforbigblue - Aug 21, 2013 at 9:10 AM
He has NBA bust all over him
- MyTeamsAllStink - Aug 21, 2013 at 12:35 PM
UNLV fan here.He will be solid but not the star you're hoping for in Cleveland.He had moments where he just disappeared in games and this was against teams like Fresno st.He needs to get into better shape and he has asthma which he failed to disclose to UNLV team doctors last season.I think he'll be good but not great and certainly not elite
- ljl2 - Aug 23, 2013 at 1:18 PM
There aren't many Cleveland fans who expect a star out of Bennett…

It was announced in 2008 for a tie-in release with the movie. I haven't heard anything about it since. Are they still making it? I really hope they are, Thor is my favorite superhero.
Also, how would you do a Thor cartoon? How would you do your pilot episode? What would be the (if any) major storyline going across the entire first season? Would you have the origins explained in the first episode(s) or would have some sort of origins episode?

Brandon Mitchell is a run stopping DE that the Falcons hope can play inside. I think this is a good addition. I don't think Mitchell is really going to be a significant challenge to Lavalais at NT, but he offers much better depth than Lake or Herron would.
But his signing may mean Travis Hall won't be back since both players fill a similar niche on the team. Although Mitchell's pass-rushing skills aren't very good, he can still log minutes at DE. So he has the ability to play all 4 DL positions, and I suspect he'll be used in that capacity.
Mitchell added, Hall not coming back?

Even turning the ball over 21 times IU still could have been in that game, but you can't go 12-27 from the free throw line and expect to win. Even shooting that bad from the line they still might have had a chance if they shot better than 3-15 from the 3 pt line.
Talen wise I think they are a better team than they showed last night. Take care of the ball a little and hit free throws and they have a good shot to win that game. But they're young and it's still early in the season.
I know that I was talking up Rivers, but I keep thinking that his high TOs are just a fluke, but that's three games in a row with 4 turnovers. Starting to worry about that.

I moan the departure
of death,
which was sitting in the golden
throne after the vision.
It had been a waging
war between religion and sex.
You want to align with the
sect devising the bared gestures.
Was it a personal vendetta
of the god who led the thirsty
years of man ? It was a lidless
Hibiscus who will not stop crying.

Kauai Scuba Diving !!!
"It's All About the Fun !!!"
in Personalized Guided Tours of Kauai's Reefs
Will Get Wet ... But You Won't Get Soaked !!!"
Aloha ... and Welcome to the Best Diving in Kauai !!!
NO Certification Required to SCUBA Dive on Kauai !!! (Click Here)
People often will ask me, "What is it like to scuba dive Kauai?"
I tell them that it feels strange the first time. The mask. The awkward gear, a bit heavy. You ease into the water and your face slips below the surface. Inhale; the air comes with a reassuring hiss, and for the first time, you breathe underwater. In moments, you forget the mask. The equipment transforms to light and agile, and you're free like you've never experienced before. With that first underwater breath, the door opens to a different world. Not a world apart, but different nonetheless.
I tell them to "Go through that door. Once you try Kauai scuba diving, your life will never be the same." No one but you can say what calls you to scuba diving. If you seek adventure, you'll find plenty, whether it's in a sunken ship as you uncover its secrets, in a far corner of the the world amid other peoples and cultures, or in your backyard - closer than you imagined possible.
If you love nature, you've come to the right place. No other environment approaches the abundance, diversity and vibrance of a pristine coral reef. You can see more different species in ten minutes there than in ten hours in the most unspoiled wildernesses above water. But with time, you'll discover that even unlikely places that seem empty and sterile to the inexperienced eye - like a lake or flooded quarry - teem with intriguing organisms - a reminder that nature's imagination exceeds ours.
Kauai scuba diving. If discovery drives you, Welcome to inner space. It's somewhat cliche, yet true, that we know the surface of the moon better than we know the bottoms of the oceans. Even at the most popular dive sites, you'll see things most people never see and go where most people ever go. Even with hundreds of dives under you belt, visiting a new dive site thrills you with discovery, and visiting a familiar one is a bit like coming home.
And scuba diving, especially Kauai scuba diving, means rising to new challenges. It's one of the rare activities that delivers adrenaline and intensity, or serenity and peace. You can take on challenges requiring training, planning and focus: searching for and recovering lost objects, descending to 100 feet (if your diving level permits) or exploring your favorite dive site after sunset. Or you can drift along in some of the worlds most tranquil and beautiful settings, with your biggest immediate worry whether you want to stop and photograph that star fish or not. Either way, diving grows with you - there's always somewhere new to explore, something new to see, some new way to enjoy the experiences. No other endeavor so easily matches exactly what you're up for, right now, tomorrow, and ten years from now. You cannot outgrow it.
You've probably seen photos, television and films about Kauai scuba diving, but until you do it yourself, you can't really understand what it's like. Nothing on earth matches the sensations you experience - the thrill of breathing underwater, the freedom of "weightlessness", and unique sights and sounds.
"Akamai" is a Hawaiian expression that means "sharp ..."
"Akamai" is a Hawaiian expression that means "having your act together ..."
"Akamai" is a Hawaiian expression that means "thinking ahead ..."
"Akamai" is a Hawaiian expression that means "knowing what you are doing".
Here at Akamai Divers, we like to think that we are "akamai" about those things that are of interest to YOU ... our guests, our friends, our o'hana !!!
For example, here's what some of our Divers have said about their Kauai Scuba Diving experiences with us:
Hi Steve,
I just wanted to thank you for making my first scuba dive Kauai experience so wonderful. My experience with you taking the discover scuba dives has made me want to get my PADI certification, I will hopefully be able to do it within the next year. It was really awesome to meet you, and I hope one day I get to return to Kauai and dive with you again. Thanks so much!!!
This email is long overdue, but better late then never. We went scuba diving on Kauai with Steve the last week of August of 2005, and due to Steve's knowledge of the area, its indigenous creatures and his great patience, our experience was bar-none the most enjoyable diving experience we have had.
My wife and I haven't been diving for several years, so we chose to utilize Steve's "Rusty Diver" option for our trip, and we were glad we did.
Steve is a very patient and knowledgeable Instructor, and the format of the experience from a shore orientation of the equipment, to the area and wildlife orientation worked quite well. Steve explained the nature of the animals in the area and what the best methods were for viewing and experiencing them in the habitat.
As we dove, we encountered other divers moving through an area at record speeds, and they missed several interesting and unusual sites as they sped through that we did not due to Steve's method. We had an experience with a turtle that we will always refer to, and we wish we had a camera for it.
I guess I was swimming along with this turtle who was in my blind spot just behind and to my right for a minute or so, and it wasn't until Steve and my wife signaled to me that he was there that I saw him. He was very close and based on Steve's advise earlier, we allowed the turtle to settle into a spot where we were able to experience his majesty. Thank you Steve for such a great experience.
We will be in contact when we are able to return to do more Kauai scuba diving!
David and Marianne
Back in Iowa now and I just wanted to follow up with you on how much fun I had going on my first scuba dive Kauai with you. I always wanted to try it but never had the opportunity. The dive I went on with you was definitely worth the wait. There were other groups going out the same time we were and I could tell you were much more thorough in explaining all the equipment and safety procedures. Your presentation about the history of the bay and explaining all the types of fish we would see made the course complete.
Going the extra mile by having a class with just me and not a large group was fantastic and made the dive more pleasurable knowing I was getting a more detailed personalized dive. Your enthusiasm for the sport is great and made the dive more exciting. I could tell you loved diving and introducing new divers to the sport - even after all the dives you have done. Watching the other instructors in the different diving operations, they acted like the dives were just a job and did not enjoy working with new divers.
Just wanted to say thanks and I will never forget the humu, butterflies, trumpets, eels, shrimp, cleaners, goats, urchins and lions we saw that day. I recommended you to all the people I work with in Kauai. I hope I can get back someday and do more Kauai diving all over again.
Thanks again.

Jan and I truly enjoyed diving with you at Koloa Landing on Tuesday, August 9. We had a great time on our dive on Kauai. Our dives with you were at the top of our list of the things we really enjoyed. Jan and I are experienced divers having been diving since the early '80s all over the Caribbean, Mexico, the Bahamas and numerous fresh water locations too cold to remember.
We found your set up, equipment, intro and execution to be first rate and right up there with some of the big name operations such as Peter Hughes Dive Bonaire and Neal Watson's Underwater Adventures.
We were especially entertained by your description of the dive sight, the fish and other critters we might see and what to look for. You didn't bore us, and covered the safety aspects very well without talking down to us. I don't see how anybody would not enjoy your thorough and lively intro. Our nearly 2 hours of bottom time were fun, relaxing and exciting.
You did your job as dive guide with professionalism, humor and an overall friendly and welcoming attitude. I've been an instructor for over 20 years (I'm not active anymore) and have seen it all from really great to the unbelievably bad.
You rank right up there with the best I've ever dived with. Thanks again for an extremely fun morning of Kauai scuba diving.
Jan and Michael
Dear Steve,
Roger and I returned to New Mexico reluctantly after 10 days of scuba diving in Kauai a most memorable, beautiful experience for a couple who have been married for less than 2 years. In reflection, our time spent with you was absolutely the best! I dive occasionally in the Bahamas, but Rogers certification was pretty dated with his last diving over 30 years ago. With your Rusty Diver session, you were able to overcome his uncertainty within just a few hours, and get us into diving in a safe and beautiful location at Whalers Cove.
Your attention and watchfulness to our lack of diving experience gave both of us peace of mind in entering the water, and as confidence grew, your knowledge of the dive site reopened the wonders of diving and exploring living creatures in the sea. Roger was so excited after diving with you the ONLY reason we didnt dive again before we left was because there just wasnt enough time!
I can now look forward to many more diving experiences with my new diving buddy, and we will definitely being Kauai diving and working with you again soon! Thanks so very much!
Deborah and Roger
PS: We left your cards with Suite Paradise and clearly told them that you are the guy to dive kauai with, even for us scairdy cats!!
I just wanted to take this moment to thank you for your excellent training. I did two boat dives and one night dive after I was certified. All three went very well although the night dive was very intimidating in the first 10 minutes. Once I calmed down, it was great. I wish I could have dived with you some more but the schedules just did not work out. I hope my brother John gave you a small token of my appreciation. Looking forward to diving with you again next time I am in Kauai!
I just to drop you a note and tell how much fun I had reef and shore diving with you. You need to send me some cards. I'm going to hand them out to all the dive shops out here and all my dive friends. I'm already booking my Kauai scuba diving vacation for next year. This time I'm going to try to stay for 2 weeks. I will be contacting you to set up dives once I have all my dates.
Hi Steve,
Just wanted you to know what a great time we had. Of the 100+ Instructors and Dive Masters we have ever went diving with you were the most interested in showing us a good time & one of the few we will never forget. Good Luck .
PS. If you need us as a reference, no problem.
Hey Steve,
Things have been crazy here in NY but I have been wanting to say thanks for showing us around Kauai diving. We really had a great time and you did a really nice job. The Koloa Landing dives were really pretty and very relaxing. The fish nests we saw were so cool and the male fish guarding the nest was a lot of fun and very interesting to watch. Just wanted to say thanks and we will highly recommend you to any of our diving friends.
PS. Take good care of your daughter-shes a great kid! Oh yeah ... snow here yesterday.

"When I came to Wingspan Graphics with my new company logo ideas they were able to get me exactly what I was looking for. What took two other companies months of failed attempts, Wingspan was able to create even better than I pictured within 2 days. Thank you for your prompt, excellent communication and outstanding service. I will definitely call again for my next project."
Melissa is very creative and easy to work with. I would highly recommend her to everyone. I had made several changes and she was very patient with me. I look forward to working with her in the near future on other projects.
"Melissa at Wingspan Graphics just finished designing our business logo today, and we are thrilled with the results! She is professional and creative, and she didn't seem to mind at all when I requested changes. We will definitely do business with her again, and I have already recommended her to several of our own clients."
"Melissa has been great to work with. We started working with her as a result of a logo design contest that US Energy Concierge held. We reviewed hundreds of designs submitted by artists all over the world, and Melissa's design stood out from the crowd. It matched our vision of who we are, and we are excited to be using her design."
"Melissa did a great job with our shooting team logo, Lemoore Hotshots. We went through several design changes along the way making it safe for school. She was patient all the way with each little tweak. Received files for printing as requested and they worked out great for the DTG printing. Staff loves it, kids love it. Highly recommend her work."
"I enlisted the help of Melissa to create a custom design for my wedding invitations. I HAVE TO say how impressed I am at how well she nailed the design I wanted!! I had never seen anything like what I wanted, so she had nothing to work with but my broad explanation of the picture in my head, and a list of requests for graphics and text styles that seemed impossible to get all together into a cohesive design. She knocked it out of the park!! I'm absolutely thrilled with how the design came out, and have gotten an enormous amount of compliments on how beautiful and unique they are! I couldn't be more pleased!! Her attention to detail is fantastic, and her work and communication is both professional and timely. I highly recommend working with this very talented artist!!!"

An obituary for film icon Jerry Weintraub.
A TV review of IFC's "The Spoils Before Dying" and HBO's "7 Days in Hell."
Ang Lee's "Life of Pi" is a miraculous achievement of storytelling and a landmark of visual mastery. Inspired by a worldwide best-seller that many readers must have assumed was unfilmable, it is a triumph over its difficulties. It is also a moving spiritual achievement, a movie whose title could have been shortened to "life."
The story involves the 227 days that its teenage hero spends drifting across the Pacific in a lifeboat with a Bengal tiger. They find themselves in the same boat after an amusing and colorful prologue, which in itself could have been enlarged into an exciting family film. Then it expands into a parable of survival, acceptance and adaptation. I imagine even Yann Martel, the novel's French-Canadian author, must be delighted to see how the usual kind of Hollywood manhandling has been sidestepped by Lee's poetic idealism.
The story begins in a small family zoo in Pondichery, India, where the boy christened Piscine is raised. Piscine translates from French to English as "swimming pool," but in an India where many more speak English than French, his playmates of course nickname him "pee." Determined to put an end to this, he adopts the name "Pi," demonstrating an uncanny ability to write down that mathematical constant that begins with 3.14 and never ends. If Pi is a limitless number, that is the perfect name for a boy who seems to accept no limitations.
The zoo goes broke, and Pi's father puts his family and a few valuable animals on a ship bound for Canada. In a bruising series of falls, a zebra, an orangutan, a hyena and the lion tumble into the boat with the boy, and are swept away by high seas. His family is never seen again, and the last we see of the ship is its lights disappearing into the deep — a haunting shot that reminds me of the sinking train in Bill Forsyth's "Housekeeping" (1987).
This is a hazardous situation for the boy (Suraj Sharma), because the film steadfastly refuses to sentimentalize the tiger (fancifully named "Richard Parker"). A crucial early scene at the zoo shows that wild animals are indeed wild and indeed animals, and it serves as a caution for children in the audience, who must not make the mistake of thinking this is a Disney tiger.
The heart of the film focuses on the sea journey, during which the human demonstrates that he can think with great ingenuity and the tiger shows that it can learn. I won't spoil for you how those things happen. The possibilities are surprising.
What astonishes me is how much I love the use of 3-D in "Life of Pi." I've never seen the medium better employed, not even in "Avatar," and although I continue to have doubts about it in general, Lee never uses it for surprises or sensations, but only to deepen the film's sense of places and events.
Let me try to describe one point of view. The camera is placed in the sea, looking up at the lifeboat and beyond it. The surface of the sea is like the enchanted membrane upon which it floats. There is nothing in particular to define it; it is just … there. This is not a shot of a boat floating in the ocean. It is a shot of ocean, boat and sky as one glorious place.
Still trying not to spoil: Pi and the tiger Richard Parker share the same possible places in and near the boat. Although this point is not specifically made, Pi's ability to expand the use of space in the boat and nearby helps reinforce the tiger's respect for him. The tiger is accustomed to believing it can rule all space near him, and the human requires the animal to rethink that assumption.
Most of the footage of the tiger is of course CGI, although I learn that four real tigers are seen in some shots. The young actor Suraj Sharma contributes a remarkable performance, shot largely in sequence as his skin color deepens, his weight falls and deepness and wisdom grow in his eyes.
The writer W.G. Sebold once wrote, "Men and animals regard each other across a gulf of mutual incomprehension." This is the case here, but during the course of 227 days, they come to a form of recognition. The tiger, in particular, becomes aware that he sees the boy not merely as victim or prey, or even as master, but as another being.
The movie quietly combines various religious traditions to enfold its story in the wonder of life. How remarkable that these two mammals, and the fish beneath them and birds above them, are all here. And when they come to a floating island populated by countless meerkats, what an incredible sequence Lee creates there.
The island raises another question: Is it real? Is this whole story real? I refuse to ask that question. "Life of Pi" is all real, second by second and minute by minute, and what it finally amounts to is left for every viewer to decide. I have decided it is one of the best films of the year.

Let's have some fun in the sun!
Most people join Match.com when they're new to a city, but I've been in LA most of my life (born in Hawaii). Am I the only one who finds it difficult to meet quality members of the opposite sex after college/grad school or outside of your social group ?! Here's a little bio: I'm always looking to expand my interests and try new things. I think laughter can easily cure any bad day. I'm a total optimist and positive thinker/do-er. My favorite motto is, " The harder you work, the luckier you get". I'm big on travel but haven't had a chance to get out of the US since 2010. I'd love to get back to Europe, but I can't seem to find the time to plan a trip! I started travelling at a young age and you can find stamps in my passport for the following: Chile, Argentina, Brasil, Uruguay, London, Italy, Spain, Kenya, and the Cayman Islands. I've also been all over the U.S. and Canada. I'm currently working in the field of Marketing/Online sales, previously at Disney and now at one of the best medium size technology start-ups. Since my work week involves lots of computers, my typical weekend includes doing something outdoors, trying out new restaurants, catching a flick, watching sports (live or televised), or some times just relaxing around the house with friends. I prefer fun bars in downtown or Santa Monica over the club scene/ Hollywood. My hobbies include beach volleyball, hiking, traveling, Hollywood Bowl concerts (yes, it's in Hollywood, but it's a concert), wine bars, or trying new restaurants. I love anything new and have even been known to go to Groupon/LivingSocial events. I'm looking for someone with good sense of humor, has ambitions that are reflected at work and play, and someone who isn't afraid to try something new from their "normal."

5.0 out of 5 stars Graphics get their day,
This review is from: Bibliographic: 100 Classic Graphic Design Books (Hardcover)
At last the graphics crowd get their turn with a hundred best books. As with all 'best of' this is a visually subjective showing but I thought amazingly comprehensive and I doubt that anyone who calls themselves a design professional would not own a few of these titles. The chapters follow an interesting sequence: Typography; Sourcebooks; Instructional; Histories; Anthologies and finally Monographs. Within each chapter the books are shown in date publishing order.
Many of the standard graphic design and typo titles are obviously are here but it definitely is a subjective list because a 1970s Letraset type transfer catalog is included, not strictly a book with an ISBN but back then these catalogs were eagerly awaited in the UK. A couple of quirky additions are the `Old Advertising Cuts from A-Z', basically a 1989 paper sample book from French Paper (I always found it annoying to use because the pages were so thick) and the amazing 1989, Stockholm published `Carouschka's Tickets'. A huge eight by thirteen inches book with 394 pages full of tickets from around the world.
The format presents each book over two pages with title and publisher details plus some quite comprehensive copy in one column with the four or five inside spreads and the cover filling up the rest of the space. Printed on good matt art with a two hundred screen this is a book worth looking at. The book spreads are big enough to keep anyone interested in the detail.
There are, though, a couple of whimsical design features: the book title and publisher details are set in a sans face with the x height sitting on fifteen deep cyan rules and likewise with the list of eighteen designers' favorite books (scattered through the book) this text is turned sideways on the page and sits on red rules. To my mind if all rules were deleted it wouldn't make the text any less readable. It's just the book designer doing something for themselves and not the reader. Pure whimsy.
If you look through the pages and see a book worth getting I bet, now that Bibliographic is published, second-hand copies will increase in value. For instance, the copy of 'Nova: 1966-1975' (pages 193/93) costs between $375 and $449 or 'A Sign System Manual' by Crosby, Fletcher, Forbes (pages 94/95) costs between $285 and $368. I didn't know, until I saw it on pages 184/185 that Bradbury Thompson had published a book in 1988 about his Westvaco magazine work, I recently managed to find a copy just under $60.
I have a few of the hundred titles, mostly from past decades but I would have included these if I was creating the list:
*Americam Modernism by Roger Remington ISBN 978 0300098167
*Typewise by Kit Hinrichs ISBN 978 0891343561
*The Pentagram Papers ISBN 978 0811855631

'Death' Becomes Brad Garrett
Garrett, who won three Emmys playing sad sack Robert Barone on the long-running
The pilot, from long-time "King of Queens" writers Cathy Yuspa and Josh Goldsmith, would follow newlyweds who move next door to a long-married couple, half of which would be played by Garrett.
If the deal goes through, and the show makes FOX's lineup, Garrett will have had just one season off after "Raymond" ended its nine-year run last May. He would likely have some kind of producing credit on
Following "Raymond's" Emmy win for best comedy series -- and his third victory in the comedy supporting actor category -- Garrett told reporters that a spinoff that would follow Robert and his wife, Amy (Monica Horan), was a possibility. The idea eventually ran out of steam, though.

How to Reduce Saltwater Reef Aquarium Maintenance
Saltwater reef aquariums are pretty and interesting, but also can be expensive, time-consuming, and messy. Here's how to keep them just pretty and interesting.
This article is intended for relatively small saltwater aquariums with small (up to four inches or so), relatively inexpensive (up to $25 or so each) critters. Other kinds may require much greater care. The author has been successful with it, but reef tanks tend to need a watchful eye on them to prevent disaster.
1Get the right fish. Cheap fish, invertebrates, corals and macroalgae are better for an aquarium and for the environment. They're cheap because they reproduce well in captivity or are plentiful in the wild and tend not to die on the way to the pet store.Ad
2Use corals (generally soft corals, which are like masses of little anemones without much of a sting) and macroalgae that do not require a lot of light. High-powered light consumes more energy than anything else in the aquarium. It encourages the growth of hair and other microalgae, and coralline algae which, while colorful, requires hard scraping with a metal tool, generally by reaching inside the aquarium, to remove. It produces heat which can require a chiller to remove from the aquarium and more air conditioning to remove from the house.
- The light should still be brighter than a typical freshwater aquarium. One to two watts per gallon has worked well for the author (one of the two ballasts for U-tube lights on a Bio-Cube died and was not replaced -- the coral and macroalgae is fine, but the coralline algae is mostly gone except on a few peaks of the live rock).
3Make the aquarium colorful with a lot of macroalgae and soft corals and relatively few animals that move such as fish and shrimp. (Some hermit crabs and snails are worthwhile for eating microalgae and stirring the sand.) If it doesn't move, it doesn't produce much waste. Algae actually cleans the water.
4Circulate the water vigorously everywhere in the aquarium to let the live rock and sand filter it biologically, to keep material from building up and rotting anywhere, and to keep food suspended so the fish will have a long time to see and eat it with little waste. Arrange the rocks into a loose open pattern. Directing one water jet such as the filter exhaust along one side of the tank and slightly inward so that the water spins in a slow vortex and another toward the otherwise stagnant center is a good start. Add a power head as necessary.
- Saltwater fish, unlike freshwater fish, are generally used to keeping position in waves and are not upset by vigorous water movement.
5If the corals are open and growing well, the water quality is probably fine. It is a good idea to change some of the water from time to time - perhaps 20% every other week, or 10% every week.
- Replacing a mechanical-filter cartridge more often might be a good idea. But a big protein skimmer is perhaps even more effective in removing organic sludge.
- Always top off (i.e., when no saltwater is removed) with RO/DI water. Using any other water can add copper and other harmful minerals to the tank.
6Make sure the aquarium has a protein skimmer. This removes undesirable material, including suspended algae, from the water so it does not dirty the water as it rots. Hang it on the front if you have to, such as for a nano-reef tank. A length of air line tubing from the air intake can muffle it greatly; ideally the opening should be above the water level so no malfunction can start siphoning water out of the aquarium.
- Adding the air line will change the water level in the skimmer; be prepared to adjust the skimmer so the water doesn't rise too high and spill out of the aquarium. The author has had success with a big Coralife 60 gallon (227.1 L) skimmer on a 29 gallon (109.8 L) nano-reef.
- A large amount of macroalgae, live rock, and live sand is a great filter.
7Clean the glass with a magnetic cleaner from the outside. This works best if the lights are not extremely bright so the glass will have little coralline algae on it.
- Small basically-toothless carnivorous fish such as clownfish will tend to eat little nuisance bugs that can damage coral.
8An entirely plastic-bodied heater greatly reduces the risk of heater breakage. Heater capacity should be on the low side because the lights and pumps create some heat and low temperatures from a cold house or insufficient heater capacity are less likely to kill the fish than excessive temperatures from a powerful heater stuck on.Ad

- A ground-fault circuit interrupter outlet or extension cord helps protect the owner from equipment problems by cutting off electric power before bad equipment results in a dangerous shock. This is very important for saltwater, because it is more conductive than freshwater.
