The star of the 94th annual Durham Fair didn't perform on a stage, get fried in oil, derive from Connecticut grapes, spin round and round, weigh 1,766.5 pounds, moo, baa, or trumpet. The star of the Durham Fair was the gorgeous weather, and it visited the fairgrounds for four days.
The sunshine and clear skies seemed unfamiliar to longtime fairgoers, who have grown accustomed to at least one washout day. Packing rain gear and judging parking lots by the likelihood of getting stuck has become as much a ritual of the fair as Ride Day.
Not a single raindrop fell in Durham and the temperatures stayed in the low to mid 70s from the Sept. 26 ribbon cutting by Dr. Frances Korn, who attended the first fair as a six-week-old, to the return of exhibits and the handing out of ribbons on Sept. 29.
"Who would have thought it would be sunny at the Durham Fair?" asked Lisa Franceschet, of Durham.
The record numbers eventually led to a crowd concern and opened gates on Saturday night before the Josh Turner show. The lines for the town green gates backed up to Main Street and then curved south next to traffic. The line, according to witnesses, reached the Dunkin Donuts.
In a statement, the Durham Fair Association said, "On Saturday there was surge at the entrance gates and in the interest of public safety, a decision was made by the Fair Association in conjunction with the State Police to temporarily open the gates. Public safety is our top priority."
The top and bottom gates were opened to prevent the lines from becoming a safety and crowd control problem. The fairgrounds could handle the crowds but the gates could not process them fast enough so temporarily on Saturday night, no admission was charged and the bag inspections were halted. Middlefield's First Selectman Jon Brayshaw and Durham's First Selectman Laura Francis praised the decision.
Civic and non-profit booths reported record days and sold out items as the crowds poured in. The Durham Co-op ran out of plates and forks and served its grilled chicken on hot dog holders. According to Franceschet, a Benchwarmers' volunteer, its booth was completely sold out. "We sold out of Bison Burgers. We never sell out of Bison Burgers," she said.
Volunteer Heather Deming said the Middlefield Volunteer Fire Department ran out of bread bowls and served its chowder out of cups, with bread slices on the side. "Everywhere you turned there were crowds," Deming said.
The United Churches of Durham had to stop selling lime rickeys for 30 minutes while they waited for new canisters of seltzer to be carted up the hill. "It's great to see the sunshine and the crowds," said Cheryl-Ann Tubby.
Some volunteers spoke with pride of their booth's ability to withstand the crowds. "We came right down to the wire," said Betsy Dean at the DMYFS booth. Dean said they had one gallon of cider left when the fair closed on Saturday. According to Dean, the booth normally needs one trip to Lyman Orchards, but needed three this year.
According to volunteers, the Coginchaug Regional High School scholarship bananas and the John Lyman corn booth were both stocked for the crowds, while the VFW booth ran down to 20 hot dogs. The corn booth did almost run out of quarters, said volunteer Nicole Roberts, who called Saturday "an excellent day."
"It was a record day for the Killingworth Lions," said the Sunday counter man.
Longtime fairgoers struggled to remember four days of such good weather and crowds matching Saturday night. "It reminded me of growing up, seeing that hill filled. It's good for the fair," said Steve Alsup of Durham.
Families were able to leave the 94th annual Durham Fair because they were done, and not under an umbrella or behind a tow truck, but under clear skies.
"We had more to see and more to do!" wrote Durham Fair's Marketing Coordinator Debbie Huscher in an e-mail after the fair.
While attendance figures were not finalized, Huscher wrote those figures were strong. "We were fortunate to have four beautiful, rain free days that helped contribute to the success."
Huscher added that the fair had attractions in addition to the weather. "We had a lot of exciting news for the Durham Fair — reduced admission prices, new and improved Green with the Ferris wheel and the Connecticut Wine Festival, the switching of the motorized events ring and the giant pumpkin breaking the Durham Fair and the state record." Headline acts Justin Moore and Josh Turner were also strong draws. Moore's latest single topped the country charts just before the fair.
On Sunday morning, the ATMs on the lower part of the fairgrounds stopped working for a period and, while workers in the souvenir booths said it was likely a WiFi issue, the rumor spread that the machines were out of money. Given the crowds, the rumor seemed plausible.

- Dynamic data structures and saliency-influenced rendering (2012)
- With increasing heterogeneity of modern hardware, different requirements for 3d applications arise. Despite the fact that real-time rendering of photo-realistic images is possible using today's graphics cards, still large computational effort is required. Furthermore, smart-phones or computers with older, less powerful graphics cards may not be able to reproduce these results. To retain interactive rendering, usually the detail of a scene is reduced, and so less data needs to be processed. This removal of data, however, may introduce errors, so called artifacts. These artifacts may be distracting for a human spectator when gazing at the display. Thus, the visual quality of the presented scene is reduced. This is counteracted by identifying features of an object that can be removed without introducing artifacts. Most methods utilize geometrical properties, such as distance or shape, to rate the quality of the performed reduction. This information used to generate so called Levels Of Detail (LODs), which are made available to the rendering system. This reduces the detail of an object using the precalculated LODs, e.g. when it is moved into the back of the scene. The appropriate LOD is selected using a metric, and it is replaced with the current displayed version. This exchange must be made smoothly, requiring both LOD-versions to be drawn simultaneously during a transition. Otherwise, this exchange will introduce discontinuities, which are easily discovered by a human spectator. After completion of the transition, only the newly introduced LOD-version is drawn and the previous overhead removed. These LOD-methods usually operate with discrete levels and exploit limitations of both the display and the spectator: the human. Humans are limited in their vision. This ranges from being unable to distinct colors at varying illumination scenarios to the limitation to focus only at one location at a time. Researchers have developed many applications to exploit these limitations to increase the quality of an applied compression. Some popular methods of vision-based compression are MPEG or JPEG. For example, a JPEG compression exploits the reduced sensitivity of humans regarding color and so encodes colors with a lower resolution. Also, other fields, such as auditive perception, allow the exploitation of human limitations. The MP3 compression, for example, reduces the quality of stored frequencies if other frequencies are masking it. For representation of perception various computer models exist. In our rendering scenario, a model is advantageous that cannot be influenced by a human spectator, such as the visual salience or saliency. Saliency is a notion from psycho-physics that determines how an object "pops out" of its surrounding. These outstanding objects (or features) are important for the human vision and are directly evaluated by our Human Visual System (HVS). Saliency combines multiple parts of the HVS and allows an identification of regions where humans are likely to look at. In applications, saliency-based methods have been used to control recursive or progressive rendering methods. Especially expensive display methods, such as pathtracing or global illumination calculations, benefit from a perceptual representation as recursions or calculations can be aborted if only small or unperceivable errors are expected to occur. Yet, saliency is commonly applied to 2d images, and an extension towards 3d objects has only partially been presented. Some issues need to be addressed to accomplish a complete transfer. In this work, we present a smart rendering system that not only utilizes a 3d visual salience model but also applies the reduction in detail directly during rendering. As opposed to normal LOD-methods, this detail reduction is not limited to a predefined set of levels, but rather a dynamic and continuous LOD is created. Furthermore, to apply this reduction in a human-oriented way, a universal function to compute saliency of a 3d object is presented. The definition of this function allows to precalculate and store object-related visual salience information. This stored data is then applicable in any illumination scenario and allows to identify regions of interest on the surface of a 3d object. Unlike preprocessed methods, which generate a view-independent LOD, this identification includes information of the scene as well. Thus, we are able to define a perception-based, view-specific LOD. Performance measures of a prototypical implementation on computers with modern graphic cards achieved interactive frame rates, and several tests have proven the validity of the reduction. The adaptation of an object is performed with a dynamic data structure, the TreeCut. It is designed to operate on hierarchical representations, which define a multi-resolution object. In such a hierarchy, the leaf nodes contain the highest detail while inner nodes are approximations of their respective subtree. As opposed to classical hierarchical rendering methods, a cut is stored and re-traversal of a tree during rendering is avoided. Due to the explicit cut representation, the TreeCut can be altered using only two core operations: refine and coarse. The refine-operation increases detail by replacing a node of the tree with its children while the coarse-operation removes the node along with its siblings and replaces them with their parent node. These operations do not rely on external information and can be performed in a local manner. These only require direct successor or predecessor information. Different strategies to evolve the TreeCut are presented, which adapt the representation using only information given by the current cut. These evaluate the cut by assigning either a priority or a target-level (or bucket) to each cut-node. The former is modelled as an optimization problem that increases the average priority of a cut while being restricted in some way, e.g. in size. The latter evolves the cut to match a certain distribution. This is applied in cases where a prioritization of nodes is not applicable. Both evaluation strategies operate with linear time complexity with respect to the size of the current TreeCut. The data layout is chosen to separate rendering data and hierarchy to enable multi-threaded evaluation and display. The object is adapted over multiple frames while the rendering is not interrupted by the used evaluation strategy. Therefore, we separate the representation of the hierarchy from the rendering data. Due to its design, this overhead imposed to the TreeCut data structure does not influence rendering performance, and a linear time complexity for rendering is retained. The TreeCut is not only limited to alter geometrical detail of an object. The TreeCut has successfully been applied to create a non-photo-realistic stippling display, which draws the object with equal sized points in varying density. In this case the bucket-based evaluation strategy is utilized, which determines the distribution of the cut based on local illumination information. As an alternative, an attention drawing mechanism is proposed, which applies the TreeCut evaluation strategies to define the display style of a notification icon. A combination of external priorities is used to derive the appropriate icon version. An application for this mechanism is a messaging system that accounts for the current user situation. When optimizing an object or scene, perceptual methods allow to account for or exploit human limitations. Therefore, visual salience approaches derive a saliency map, which encodes regions of interest in a 2d map. Rendering algorithms extract importance from such a map and adapt the rendering accordingly, e.g. abort a recursion when the current location is unsalient. The visual salience depends on multiple factors including the view and the illumination of the scene. We extend the existing definition of the 2d saliency and propose a universal function for 3d visual salience: the Bidirectional Saliency Weight Distribution Function (BSWDF). Instead of extracting the saliency from 2d image and approximate 3d information, we directly compute this information using the 3d data. We derive a list of equivalent features for the 3d scenario and add them to the BSWDF. As the BSWDF is universal, also 2d images are covered with the BSWDF, and the calculation of the important regions within images is possible. To extract the individual features that contribute to visual salience, capabilities of modern graphics card in combination with an accumulation method for rendering is utilized. Inspired from point-based rendering methods local features are summed up in a single surface element (surfel) and are compared with their surround to determine whether they "pop out". These operations are performed with a shader-program that is executed on the Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) and has direct access to the 3d data. This increases processing speed because no transfer of the data is required. After computation, each of these object-specific features can be combined to derive a saliency map for this object. Surface specific information, e.g. color or curvature, can be preprocessed and stored onto disk. We define a sampling scheme to determine the views that need to be evaluated for each object. With these schemes, the features can be interpolated for any view that occurs during rendering, and the according surface data is reconstructed. These sampling schemes compose a set of images in form of a lookup table. This is similar to existing rendering techniques, which extract illumination information from a lookup. The size of the lookup table increases only with the number of samples or the image size used for creation as the images are of equal size. Thus, the quality of the saliency data is independent of the object's geometrical complexity. The computation of a BSWDF can be performed either on a Central Processing Unit (CPU) or a GPU, and an implementation requires only a few instructions when using a shader program. If the surface features have been stored during a preprocess, a reprojection of the data is performed and combined with the current information of the object. Once the data is available, the computation of the saliency values is done using a specialized illumination model, and a priority for each primitive is extracted. If the GPU is used, the calculated data has to be transferred from the graphics card. We therefore use the "transform feedback" capabilities, which allow high transfer rates and preserve the order of processed primitives. So, an identification of regions of interest based on the currently used primitives is achieved. The TreeCut evaluation strategies are then able to optimize the representation in an perception-based manner. As the adaptation utilizes information of the current scene, each change to an object can result in new visual salience information. So, a self-optimizing system is defined: the Feedback System. The output generated by this system converges towards a perception-optimized solution. To proof the saliency information to be useful, user tests have been performed with the results generated by the proposed Feedback System. We compared a saliency-enhanced object compression to a pure geometrical approach, common for LOD-generation. One result of the tests is that saliency information allows to increase compression even further as possible with the pure geometrical methods. The participants were not able to distinguish between objects even if the saliency-based compression had only 60% of the size of the geometrical reduced object. If the size ratio is greater, saliency-based compression is rated, on average, with higher score and these results have a high significance using statistical tests. The Feedback System extends an 3d object with the capability of self-optimization. Not only geometrical detail but also other properties can be limited and optimized using the TreeCut in combination with a BSWDF. We present a dynamic animation, which utilizes a Software Development Kit (SDK) for physical simulations. This was chosen, on the one hand, to show the universal applicability of the proposed system, and on the other hand, to focus on the connection between the TreeCut and the SDK. We adapt the existing framework, and include the SDK within our design. In this case, the TreeCut-operations not only alter geometrical but also simulation detail. This increases calculation performance because both the rendering and the SDK operate on less data after the reduction has been completed. The selected simulation type is a soft-body simulation. Soft-bodies are deformable in a certain degree but retain their internal connection. An example is a piece of cloth that smoothly fits the underlying surface without tearing apart. Other types are rigid bodies, i.e. idealistic objects that cannot be deformed, and fluids or gaseous materials, which are well suited for point-based simulations. Any of these simulations scales with the number of simulation nodes used, and a reduction of detail increases performance significantly. We define a specialized BSWDF to evaluate simulation specific features, such as motion. The Feedback System then increases detail in highly salient regions, e.g. those with large motion, and saves computation time by reducing detail in static parts of the simulation. So, detail of the simulation is preserved while less nodes are simulated. The incorporation of perception in real-time rendering is an important part of recent research. Today, the HVS is well understood, and valid computer models have been derived. These models are frequently used in commercial and free software, e.g. JPEG compression. Within this thesis, the Tree-Cut is presented to change the LOD of an object in a dynamic and continuous manner. No definition of the individual levels in advance is required, and the transitions are performed locally. Furthermore, in combination with an identification of important regions by the BSWDF, a perceptual evaluation of a 3d object is achieved. As opposed to existing methods, which approximate data from 2d images, the perceptual information is directly acquired from 3d data. Some of this data can be preprocessed if necessary, to defer additional computations during rendering. The Feedback System, created by the TreeCut and the BSWDF, optimizes the representation and is not limited to visual data alone. We have shown with our prototype that interactive frame rates can be achieved with modern hardware, and we have proven the validity of the reductions by performing several user tests. However, the presented system only focuses on specific aspects, and more research is required to capture even more capabilities that a perception-based rendering system can provide.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska - A federal grand jury indicted an Anchorage, Alaska, man Wednesday on child pornography charges, following an investigation by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
Andrew William Young, 46, is charged with receipt, attempted receipt and possession of child pornography. He remains in federal custody awaiting trial.
According to the indictment, Young received illegal digital videos of child pornography on his computer starting in September 2009 and he attempted to receive similar illegal videos in October 2009. Further analysis of his computer revealed that child pornography was stored on the hard drive.
"Innocent children are victimized every time an image of child pornography is viewed," said Leigh Winchell, special agent in charge of ICE's Office of Investigations that oversees Alaska. "ICE will continue to work closely with the U.S. Attorney's office and our law enforcement partners to investigate this type of crime in order to protect the community from child predators."
Federal law provides for a minimum mandatory sentence of five years and a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison on the receipt and attempted receipt counts. Possession of child pornography can carry a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison and total fines of up to $750,000.
This case is being investigated as part of Operation Predator, a nationwide ICE initiative to identify, investigate and arrest those who prey on children, including human traffickers, international sex tourists, Internet pornographers, and foreign national predators whose crimes make them deportable. Launched in July 2003, ICE agents have arrested more than 11,600 individuals under Operation Predator.
ICE encourages the public to report suspected child predators and any suspicious activity through its toll-free hotline at 1-866-347-2423. This hotline is staffed around the clock by investigators. Suspected child sexual exploitation or missing children may be reported to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, an Operation Predator partner, at 1-800-843-5678 or http://www.cybertipline.com.
An indictment is only a charge and is not evidence of guilt. A defendant is presumed innocent and is entitled to a fair trial at which the government must prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
ICE was joined in the investigation by the Anchorage Police Department and the Alaska State Troopers.

Sorry for the silence, everyone! The holidays have such a wonderful way of distracting me. I have about a hundred unread emails at the moment, and all I really want to do is bake, wrap presents and set my table for Christmas! Speaking of, if you're looking for a clever way to add glamour to your table, pick up a copy of Southern Living. This month, I fashion a set of elegant napkins rings from vintage brooches I found at a Nashville flea market. After all, if the style icon Coco Channel used costume jewelry to accessorize a dress, why not use it to adorn a glittering holiday table?

One more example: Alfonzo Ratliff said that Craig Bodzianoski was the hardest puncher he ever fought. Ratliff beat Bodzianoski both times they fought and Ratliff rates him higher than Mike Tyson, Gary Mason, Pinklon Thomas and Tim Witherspoon, all of which KO'd Ratliff.
Ali beat both Foreman and Shavers, he has no reason to lie. Holmes beat every big puncher he faced minus Tyson, and he stated Tyson was the sharpest puncher, but Shavers was the hardest.
I see what you're saying, but there are just too many people saying the same thing about Shavers to go along with it.

Chris Weidman: "Belfort Will Try to Overwhelm Me"
Following his second defeat of long-time pound-for-pound king Anderson Silva, UFC middleweight champion Chris Weidman (above) began assessing his next opponent, Brazilian veteran Vitor Belfort.
By Christopher Murphy @MurphMMA
With his first title defense successfully completed at UFC 168, UFC middleweight champion Chris Weidman will get to face an opponent who is not Anderson Silva. UFC President Dana White confirmed at the post-fight press conference that Weidman will face Vitor Belfort in his next bout.
And if you ask Weidman, Belfort couldn't be any more different than the man he has fought and defeated twice now in Silva.
"They are two completely different guys," Weidman said of Silva and Belfort on the FOX Sports 1 post-fight show. "One guy is rangy, technical, very slick. Belfort is more of a powerhouse guy who will come in and bring the heat."
That is certainly what Belfort has done all this past year, scoring three head-kick knockouts against Michael Bisping, Luke Rockhold and Dan Henderson. It's a vintage Vitor Belfort that has fans clamoring for more and opponents somewhat nervous.
Except Chris Weidman, who says he's ready.
"I am ready to get in there right away," he said about facing Belfort. There was just one problem. "I might have a meniscus tear, so I will get that (checked out) and maybe have tow-or-three weeks off and go from there."
Having defeated long-time pound-for-pound king Anderson Silva twice now, it is difficult to imagine Weidman having difficulty with any opponent; but with the year that Vitor Belfort has had, there are very few men who look ready to defeat 'The Phenom.' Assuming Weidman's knee is cleared soon, this fight has Fight of the Year potential in 2014.
8 Responses to "Chris Weidman: "Belfort Will Try to Overwhelm Me""
Let's get something straight, Anderson sets the bar for technicality in the UFC.
he is accurate and has his own awesome style, but technical as in following proper technique.. no. thats why he lost the first fight and what he changed in the 2nd one.
Belfot will be the next old Brazilian sent to the glue factory by an American Wrestler UFC Champion.
I still don't understand why Brazilians won't train in wrestling. It is the only weakness for a lot of them.
because they have jew jeetsu to counter the wrasslin LOL
Remember little Royce Gracie vs. 260lb wrestler – Dan Severn?! Jiu Jitsu is better than wrestling IMO… BUT this is MMA. The sport has evolved since the Gracie days or even the Pride FC days. Wrestlers are getting their BJJ black belts. They are now out grappling fighters with just BJJ.
Chris Weidman is gunna have some tough fights. Vitor, Machida, Souza all are serious threats. All three have the styles to beat weidman. Personally think weidman will lose to all three but i also thought he would lose both times against anderson.
I honestly just dont see Chris beating Belfort. Maybe someday further along in the future, but I think Belfort is gonna get that MW belt finally.

Blankenship funds medical school scholarships
HUNTINGTON -- Ten Marshall University students in the School of Medicine will receive $10,000 scholarships from a newly created pledge by former Massey Energy CEO Don Blankenship.
Blankenship, a 1972 graduate of Marshall, committed $300,000 over a three-year period in honor of his mother, Nancy Marie McCoy, who died in 1995. The first $100,000 was received in September.
The scholarships are available to 10 second-year medical students who meet the financial scholarship requirements and exhibit high academic achievement. The awards will be renewed for each student annually for two years, pending satisfactory academic progress.
"The demographics of southern West Virginia mean that there will be a continuing and increasing need for high quality local doctors," Blankenship said. "I am fortunate to be able to contribute in a small way toward fulfilling this need, while at the same time honoring my mother's memory, helping my alma mater, and helping these gifted students to achieve their dreams of becoming doctors."
Receiving the awards will be James T. Buchanan Jr., Chester, W.Va.; Rudolf Burcl, Huntington; John M. Davitt, Washington, D.C.; Aaron M. Dom, Wellersburg, Pa.; Jessica A. Layne, Milton; Andrew S. Martin, Huntington; Joseph V. Russo, Huntington; Jonathan S. Seibert, Harrisburg, N.C.; Stephanie L. Taylor, Cumberland, Md.; and Adam J. Van Horn, Huntington.
Blankenship is a recipient of Marshall University's Distinguished Alumnus Award and was inducted into the College of Business Hall of Fame in 1999.
Blankenship retired in December 2010 after an explosion at Massey's Upper Big Branch mine killed 29 people in April of that year.

For more details on each tour, simply click on the tour image. " The tour was exceptional & so was the guide. Ogla made the history & facts he told us about this beautiful country interesting & unbiased. He was the perfect host for the tour, despite some tragic & personal circumstances. I would recommend (and have already) OTG tours to anyone that is keen to visit Jordan - if they had Ogla as a guide, that would be a huge bonus!" Fiona Hicks • Jul 2015 Totally Jordan - 8 Days Totally Jordan 8 Days Day | Group Tours TourGuideCountry " First and foremost, I have to express how much I loved my time in Egypt. I have done many tours in the past and this tour was the best to date. Momo the Tour guide was absolutely exceptional. His passion and incredible knowledge of both ancient and modern Egypt was infectious. He is a very proficient Egyptologist! Initially when travelling to Egypt I held some reservations because of the media reports at the time. At no point during the tour did I feel in anyway unsafe or threatened. I found the people to be both friendly and welcoming. Nothing was ever too much trouble for Momo. He consistently went out of his way to ensure we were informed and had a memorable trip. I thoroughly enjoyed my time in Egypt and have already recommended your company to friends and family. I would like to express my gratitude to Momo for making my time in Egypt so memorable. " Alexandra Longbottom • Jun 2015 Pyramids, Petra, Promised Land - 18 days Pyramids, Petra, Promised Land 18 days Day | Group Tours TourGuideCountry " From the moment I arrived to the moment I left, I felt I was in safe hands. I was met at the airport by friendly staff and from that moment on, everything ran like clockwork. We were looked after for te full duration, but not in an overbearing way. The tour content was perfect and not rushed or too jam packed. The size of the group was perfect as we got to know everyone and didn't feel as though we were part of a chain gang. I absolutely loved my time in Jordan with On The Go and will certainly be recommending On The Go Tours to my friends and colleagues and also be suggesting Jordan as a must visit destination " James Darney • May 2015 Totally Jordan - 8 Days Totally Jordan 8 Days Day | Group Tours TourGuideCountry <<< Previous123..737475 Next >>>

1. What is Yahoo! OMG! Awards?
OMG! Awards is the hottest celebrity awards show in the Philippines powered by fans. The annual celebration recognizes the achievement of local celebrities in the field of TV, movies, radio and music. These celebrities were nominated based on being the most-searched on Yahoo! Philippines. Thus, said Yahoo! Philippines country manager and country editor Kate de los Reyes, "The Yahoo! OMG! Awards is our way of giving back to our users by offering them a platform to support and rally behind their favorite stars." The fact that the readers of Yahoo! Philippines have been given the power to choose their favorite celebrities makes the OMG! Awards unique because we recognize the role of fans in the success of our local artists.
2. Why is Yahoo! OMG! Awards relevant?
Yahoo! OMG! Awards is an annual celebration of Filipino talent. If people appreciate K-Pop and western music, why not celebrate and recognize our own local celebrities?

Therefore, your SMS should read: OMG FEMALEDJ A then, send it to 2910.
Each text vote costs Php1.00.
SMS voting is open to all networks in the Philippines. For our Kababayans overseas, even if you are using a Philippine sim card, your sms votes will not be counted. Please vote online, via smartphone and via feature phone.

No. I haven't applied the patch yet. If you are cvsup'ing the sources directly cvsup can get confused...
As a test I deleted /usr/src/sys/* and cvsup'd again. After that your vfsx09.patch applied cleanly once again.
So it seems that cvsup did indeed get confused by something. My mind boggles at the implications of that :-(
Everything else seems to be working just fine -- is there *any* chance that the vfs patch might be responsible for cvsup getting 'confused'?
BTW, my DragonFly-src-supfile contains this line: *default release=cvs tag=.

PHOTOS: Runners race from Cambier Park to Sanibel Causeway in Gulf to Gulf 80 Relay
NAPLES - The inaugural Gulf to Gulf 80 Relay took place Saturday, October 15, 2011. Starting and ending in the heart of Naples, Cambier Park, 30 six-person teams began at 6:00 am.
The route kept the runners off the main highways while winding in and out of Naples all the way to the Sanibel Causeway bridge and back again.
There were no mileage requirements for the runners other than each runner must run at least one mile per leg. The team who completed the 80 mile course first, won!
First place in the all girl class was "Endurance Sisterhood" with a time of 11 hours and 30 seconds to finish. For the mixed team, "LiL Monsters" came in first place with a time of 9 hours and 15 minutes with "Running with the Devil", "Slow Motion" and "Girlz Just Want to Have Fun" right on their heels.
All teams finished off the day with a post-race party which began at 7:00 pm near the Bandshell in Cambier Park. It was obvious that an 80 mile run can make you work up an appetite as 30 large pizzas seemed to vanish into thin air upon arrival. All teams were acknowledged for their achievement by Mitchell Norgart, President of Gulf Coast Runners, and each runner was awarded with an engraved conch shell.
This was the first time an event of this sort has taken place in Southwest Florida. This is a great way to enjoy the camaraderie of teams running together to raise funds for the Gulf Coast Runners Youth Development Fund and the Community Foundation of Collier County.

Americans are living longer than ever and leading healthier, more active lives during their later years. As the baby-boomer generation enters retirement and older seniors seek to maintain fulfilling and productive lives, an increasing number of retirement communities are being built that reflect these changing demographics and dynamic lifestyles.
This trend has spurred the need and growth of Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRCs) across the country. CCRCs are innovative in that they provide varying levels of care within one community - a continuum of care - for seniors who want to continue leading independent, full, and enriching lives as their needs change over time. CCRCs are an attractive option for those who want health care services, security, convenience, and amenities in one community while still enjoying the freedom they have in their own home.
According to the "The Continuing Care Retirement Community: A Guidebook for Consumers," by the American Association of Homes and Services for the Aging (www.aahsa.org):
"Living in a CCRC means being an integral part of a support community. Over 350,000 Americans have discovered the "continuum of care" upon which CCRCs are based: you can fulfill your need for independence and continue to pursue your interests and activities while having the peace of mind that the care and services you may need in the years ahead will be there, all in a familiar environment. Through an agreement you make with the CCRC, you'll know who will care for you, where you'll receive your care, and how you'll pay for it, so you can focus on living your life to the fullest."

This story has been reproduced from today's media. It does not necessarily represent the position of Liverpool Football Club.
Barcelona coach Tito Vilanova insists striker David Villa will not be leaving the La Liga club in the January transfer window.
The Spain striker has been linked with a move to the Premier League after finding first-team opportunities limited this season following his recover from a serious leg injury, with Arsenal and Liverpool just two of the clubs believed to be interested in the 31-year-old.
However, Barca have consistently dismissed suggestions Villa could be sold during the January transfer window and Vilanova repeated that stance following his side's 3-1 victory over Malaga last night.
He told reporters: "David is not going to leave. We are very happy with him."
Villa scored a brace in last week's 5-0 Copa del Rey win over Cordoba but limped out of the match late on and then picked up a hamstring injury in training on Saturday which ruled him out of the trip to Malaga.
Spain's record goalscorer missed much of last season and Euro 2012 after breaking his leg at the FIFA Club World Cup in December, 2011.
Vilanova added: "The other day he scored two goals. We've always said that he's coming off a long injury, and he's getting more minutes all the time. But he's suffering more physical problems again.
"We know how important he is, like last year when we missed him a lot in the second half of the season.
"I'm convinced he will help us a lot over the remainder of the season."

Summer is winding down. The kiddies are headed back to school. The hot dogs have been consumed. Swim suits are being packed away. It's time to savor a little nip in the air and think about Fall.

And yes, I'm REALLY dreaming, because I live in Phoenix, AZ – where its still hotter than the surface of the sun!

Swiping a credit card can become a necssity for some seniors on a fixed budget, especially easy when credit card companies offer cards with high limilts.
Eileen Doherty, director of the Colorado Gerintological Society, says seniors are using credit cards more for gas, food and prescriptions and this is leading to higher debt.
Doherty says, "I have seen people put things on credit cards that are just mind boggling. And, you know, going in they do not have the ability to pay them back."
Doherty councils seniors who might be getting threatening calls from collection agencies or be at risk of losing their homes.
A recent report shows people 55 and older now make up more than 20 percent of all bankruptcy filings and the high cost of medical bills and prescription drugs is leading more and more seniors to use plastic.
"A shocking statistic came out recently that said 40 percent of retired Americans had raked up credit card debt and were not concerned about how they're doing to repay it."
Kim McGriff with Money Management International, believes seniors might be extremely concerned about their money problems, but too quiet and proud to discuss those issues.
McGrigg says any unpaid debts at the time of someone's death will come out of an estate and could wipe out any inheritance a retiree is hoping to pass on.

(Photo courtesy of zimbio.com) The Dallas Stars won their fourth straight game knocking off the Edmonton Oilers 4-1 last night, improving the record over the last ten games to 5-4-1. The Stars started out this game a little sluggish giving up a goal in the first, but defensemen Brenden Dillon scored a fortunate goal to finally get Dallas on the board in the second period. The scoring continued for the Stars, Eric Nystrom, Jaromir Jagr, and Ryan Garbutt all scored in the third period eliminating any chance of a come back by the Oilers.
Once again the Stars are faced with the dreaded back to back game, this time against the Calgary Flames. The Stars record in back to back games isn't pretty at all, 1-14-2 which hopefully this starts to change tonight. Dallas is now getting goals from different players which is helping to relieve pressure on their top forwards such Benn and Jagr. The Stars have also help from their defense and with Kari Lehtonen basically stopping everything thrown his way with a 1.77 GAA and .940 save % on this current winning streak.
The Calgary Flames are coming off a shootout loss to Minnesota Wild this past Monday night, and it looks like they have been doing some line juggling with their team Captain Jarome Iginla. Calgary still has a decent club despite missing their starting goaltender Miikka Kiprusoff with a knee injury. This is probably part of the reason why the Flames went out and claimed goaltender Joey MacDonald off waivers from the Red Wings, however it looks like Leland Irving will get the start in net. As for Dallas, it sounds like Richard Bachman could get the start in the pipes tonight, then again Gully could surprise us all and go with Kari. The Stars will need to shutdown players such as Tanguay, Hudler, Stempniak, and of course former Dallas Stars' draft pick Jarome Iginla. Dallas will see an old but familiar face in Steve Begin, this gritty veteran played for the Stars in the 08-09' season. The Stars can win their fifth straight game tonight, break the ugly back to back streak, and give Calgary their sixth loss in seven home games. By the way the Calgary Flames currently sit at the bottom of the NHL in 30th place.
Dallas has got some good momentum going into this game against the Calgary, which for the Stars this road trip doesn't get any easier as they go to Vancouver for a Friday night tilt against the Canucks.

It's the same thing with Ali Farka Toure in my mind and the whole Putamayo label in general. I appreciate that they are bringing these contemporary artistis onto people's radar, but there is so much more to it that this one style of music from this one guy in Mali. Mali is a freakin' hotbed of contemporary West African music, but all anyone knows is Ali Farka Toure (may he rest in peace). I guess the hope would be that folks eventually say "where did this sound come from, and who else might be doing something like it?"
But back to Buena Vista. The stuff that they did is certainly important, and it opened people's ears to a sound which was all but completely obscured to American society at large, and for that it was great. But like you say, people are in danger of thinking, "Oh I know all about Afro-Cuban music cause I bought their album". But then what happens when they hear Deep Rumba, or any of the American Clave guys, or even one of Michel Camilo's old albums, or some of your stuff? Their brains will explode!
I think the important thing is for people to realize that musical genre's are artificial things that we create in order to separate all of the stuff that people buy. But there is a commonality between all music and when you open up to everything and realize that music is music and with the right intention, you can combine or evolve in any direction that you want, it becomes beautiful and harmonious as it should be.
I wonder if the evolution of Afro-Cuban music is subject to the same types of restrictions that I see in American Jazz, or Popular music for that matter. To me, it appears to have been a lot more fluid. But maybe that's because I am more of an outsider and haven't taken part in that dialogue as much.
Have you had any debates like this among folks in the scene in NYC?
Hey bro...Sorry for the delay in answering...was out of town and no net access.
Actually I have not had many conversations like that. I wish it was more. I have to agree with your assessment on the evolution of Afro-cuban music. It's much more fluid. maybe the more the Internet takes over the job of music distribution the better off we will all be. This might lead to better evolution of styles In America, not influence by commercial interests. I for 1 can't wait for the day when all labels are extinct and the distribution of music flows freely over the Internet. Controlled solely by the artist.
People need to get used to that concept though and it may take a while. its working on some of level. I probably should take more of an active interest in music production. Drumming itself requires such a huge amount of your time that its difficult to keep an eye on all these other things. At least for me.
By the way it seems that you know a lot African music in that region. can you recommend some more for me? I can never get enough of it.
all the best.
Live to play!

Windows install smooth? It's a NIGHTMARE!
First of all, I have Windows 7 Pro OEM x64, received and installed on Oct. 28th. (YAY for no tech support!)
I start the installation on a CLEAN HD. Everything's humming along. I enter my CD Key and when I press Next I get a bluescreen! It doesn't even explain why! All I know is the stop code was 0x0000007e.
Stupid me installed it on the wrong partition, so I deleted that installation and put it on c:. Everything goes well, it detects everything, but it feels sluggish.
I install chipset drivers directly from Gigabyte. Upon closing the install, BLUESCREEN! IRQ_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL. It didn't install a thing. Upon 2nd try I get the chipset drivers installed. Success.
Next I try the nV drivers. It installs ok, but upon exiting the installer ANOTHER bluescreen! PAGE_FAULT_NOT_IN_PAGED_AREA. Again, 2nd try gets them installed.
To make this shorter, EVERY single driver I install bluescreens on me, and on 2nd try are successful.
Now I install the latest game I have NFS Shift. It installs fine. Patches fine upon entering the game, BLUESCREEN! Ready for this? It BSOD's without warning, and without cause! I always get this (in event viewer):
Kernel-Power Event ID 41 0x0000007e (this has happened 5 times now)
And today I let it idle while I watched an NFL game, I come back and move the mouse and get a BSOD! SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION
In Event Viewer I have counted and logged many errors and critical errors.
Kernel-Power Event ID 41 0x0000007e (7 events, same BSOD, all critical)
Unexpected shutdown Event ID 6008 (5 events, all errors, but non critical)
0x00000050 WER Event ID 1001 (7 events, critical)
I have also had BSOD that it didn't record. NTFS.SYS
0xc0000005 fault in DWM.exe
0x80000003 fault in shift.exe (nfs game, 5 instances)
Event ID 6e4 Application hang shift.exe (resulted in BSOD)
Event ID be0 Application hang shift.exe (BSOD)
0xc0000005 fault in MpCmdRun.exe
0xc0000005 fault in mscorsvw.exe
On top of this, I update windows, and it renders my realtek gigabit LAN useless, it won't start (after 3 times uninstalling the software for it, it's back).
SO yeah, I cannot endorse Windows 7 at this time. I will be installing the same OS (different key) on my sister's tomorrow. I hope it's better than my experience. She has Intel, I have AMD. From Oct 28th till now I have had approximately 17 BSOD's. YAY me!
I have read up a little bit on some of these errors, and it points to a failing UPS system. I tried it, and it works fine. I even drained the battery by letting my monitor suck the power down.
Anything I can do or should I re-install? my first install I left everything in tact, didn't unplug any hardware.

Re: Windows install smooth? It's a NIGHTMARE!
Wow. That *really* sucks.
Only experience with 7 that I have is setting up the display models for our sales floor at work. Though I should be receiving my copy soon enough, and pray I don't encounter the problems that you have.
Good luck, bro.

Try to upgrade the bios of your motherboard.
Mine win7 did some serious random crash/hang issues, until I did it for my Abit ab9pro.
If that doesn't help run trough mem-tester, check HD and if nothing else works then test with an other power supply.

Undo any overclocking while doing the install. Don't know why but it caused problems for me.

Re: Windows install smooth? It's a NIGHTMARE!
i never use windows update to update drivers. i did it once to update my realtek lan driver on vista and it just totally fubar it.
Best to just go with official drivers from the sites.
But yea undo any overclocks/etc. Just install as normal. Then mess around with it after.

Re: Windows install smooth? It's a NIGHTMARE!
Hi there !
I've installed windows more time than humanly possible to count (starting from W'95 "era")
So my advices for your situation are :
1. Proceed with A CLEAN REINSTALL (master some nerve at least for this one more time ... )
2. First take everything out but the video card (if it's not integrated). Unplug everything else (including all periferics : lan, usb). Only the keyboard, mouse and monitor should be linked to your sistem. Just to be on the safe side ...
3. Also before reinstalling back-up any / all data as the hdd should be completely wiped out of (old) partitions (clean as a baby - one single unpartioned / unformated space)
4. You could also try to update tha motherboard's bios to the latest (proven) stable version (not beta, unless absolutely necesary). It should be safe and could be necesary for some drivers than Windows 7 needs working in a certain way (ex. : sleep, hibernation, battery management, etc.). It would be better to cover this part rather than ignore it ...
5. PROCEED WITH THE INSTALL PROCESS. WARNING ! : if you have any hdd's set to work in raid mode (0, 1, 5, etc.) you should have the latest driver for them for W7 at hand (floppy or usb flash) ESPECIALLY IF THAT RAID MATRIX WILL CONTAIN THE WINDOWS ITSELF !. DO NOT LET W7 INSTALL IT'S OWN DRIVERS FOR RAID !!! Also you could disconect all other hdd's that are not essential (raid should be ok if you connect them EXACTLY HOW THEY WERE, hdd to coresponding port). They will come up ok pluging them in AFTER the windows would be up and running - NOT "hot pluging" of coarse. ALSO PREPARE ALL THE DRIVERS FOR YOUR COMPONENTS ON A CLEAN USB FLASH FOR LATER ON (motherboard's driver should be extracted as an archive in a separate folder - see later explanations).
6. When you get to the screen where a partition should be chosen or created (in your case created, from scratch) ONLY CHOOSE TO CREATE THE PARTITION "C" - for the OS (W7). DO NOT CREATE AT THIS POINT ANY OTHER PARTITIONS !!! Leave the rest of the hdd unpartioned for now.
7. Finish installing Windows 7. DO NOT INSTALL ANYTHING YET !!! (no drivers, no aplications). JUST CHECK IN THE DEVICE MANAGER WHAT INSTALLED ON W7 DRIVERS AND WHAT REMAINED WITHOUT DRIVERS.
8. ONLY install the latest WHQL drivers for those devices that were left out by w7. Most likely the video card and some networking and chipset components. DO NOT THE INSTALL DRIVERS FOR YOU MOTHERBOARD BY RUNNING THE SETUP. We will install them manualy just to see exactly where the problem(s) will apear. The video card should be installed the "normal way" : by running the setup. I recomend installing the video card first ...
9. Copy the extracted the contents of the motherboard's driver from the usb flash to hdd (make a folder an put it on desktop, for easy acces). Then from the device manager's window simply choose to update drivers for each "unknown" or "not installed" device pointing each time through "browse option" to the extracted driver's files (desktop).
10. Your installation should now be complete. (Minimal specs installation)
11. Shut down the computer and connect all other components that you initially unpluged ONE BY ONE, NOT ALL AT ONCE. Obviously you must do a shut down before each main component (audio, raid card, hdd's). Periferics will not require you to shut down (modems, switches, routers, joystick, console, etc.). START WITH THE MAIN COMPONENTS FIRST !!! preferably any other hdds. Monitor closely the sistem's behaviour on each and every step. If you encounter a troublesome step try to undo it (unninstall and unplug) and then skip to other components. Hope everything goes smoothly ... as it should.
12. If everything installed fine (no errors or slugishness so far) than you can start to install things like : antivirus, firewall and any other protection you might want to use BEFORE YOU CONNECT TO THE LAN / INTERNET. Do not install any other aplications (all those drivers and extracted drivers should have been already available on a clean usb flash from BEFORE THE WHOLE INSTALLATION PROCESS OR FROM ANOTHER !CLEAN! COMPUTER)
13. Connect to the internet. Update the antivirus, firewall and any other security programs you installed THEN PROCEED WITH UPDATING THE WINDOWS ITSELF. Windows updates will kick in regardless BUT IT STILL NEEDS YOUR "OK" FOR INSTALLING THE DOWNLOADED UPDATES. So refrain from that "ok" until all protection software is fully updated and operational.
14. Update Windows. This will some times corect bugs and faulty drivers within windows and probably solve some of your incompatibilities or errors. Only when Windows get fully updated only then we can proceed to fine tune drivers that do not work (or do not work as they should) and appeal to manufacturer's drivers. THIS IS WHY WE MANUALY INSTALLED ONLY THE MISSING DRIVERS AFTER THE FIRST BOOT ... this and for per stage setup monitoring purposes, of coarse.
15. If all goes well up to here you NOW READY TO INSTALL ANY APPLICATION YOU NEED / USE as the sistem would be complete and solid. Recomandation : run some intense burning or benchmarking application to test general system stability. HEATING CAN ALSO BE A CAUSE FOR BLUESCREENS ! So get that of your mind with some tests used at least several hours continuously and maybe even in parallel (multiple tests at once, especially if one test doesn't fully stress the machine)
If anything is trying to escape logic please point them to me email@example.com

Re: Windows install smooth? It's a NIGHTMARE!
Ok, let me clear things up. I AM NOT Overclocking, EVERYTHING is bone stock.
K007, I learned my lesson there. I won't be updating drivers from MS.
Now for the funny part. Let me explain.
I have all my backup files on a spare HD (IDE), my primary HD is SATA. I "had" my IDE hd, connected with a CD-ROM drive. When I took out the IDE hd everything has been peachy.
Has to be some sort of problem with chipset drivers. I was actually excited, because the RC version worked wonders. Retail is well, it needs work.

Re: Windows install smooth? It's a NIGHTMARE!
So you managed a good install?
I forgot to mention. When I installed 7 with my other HD's connected it installed the boot section to my storage drive . I don't know what it is with installing 7, but it seems to be very fussy about hardware until the install is complete, then all is well again. I had to unplug all but my main drive and CD drive and un-OC everything to get a good install. There are obviously issues with it. I keep meaning to send feedback to MS about it actually.
