Garfield Jazz Foundation
The jazz program is part of the nationally known Fine Arts Department at Garfield High School in Seattle, WA. This program is committed to maintaining the vibrant, unique American art form that is jazz. This philosophy is shared by several middle schools in the Seattle area, such as Washington and Hamilton International Middle schools, which act as "feeder" schools. Musicians of all levels are given the opportunity to learn, play, perform and compete at local venues and festivals around the country.
This year's schedule amply demonstrates this. Jazz Ensemble 1 has made frequent trips to New York City and Europe (including the Montreux Jazz Festival and the Umbria Jazz Festival) over the years. Touring is expensive, but no student is turned away from the program by financial constraints. Parents of students contribute what they can to their child's expenses. The Garfield Jazz Foundation also contributes, and provides a scholarship program to ensure that all motivated students are able to participate fully in the performance schedule.
The results speak for themselves. Graduates of the Garfield High School program have gone on to study at leading music schools, such as the Berklee College of Music, The Juilliard School, Manhattan School of Music, The New England Conservatory of Music, USC Thornton School of Music, Oberlin Conservatory of Music, the Eastman School of Music and Cornish College of the Arts.
If you love jazz - and the idea that it is alive and well at the high-school level - there's no better way to keep that tradition moving forward than to write us a check! Your contribution will help ensure that the Garfield Jazz Program never stops "taking care of business."
GJF is a non-profit, tax-exempt organization committed to supporting excellence in jazz at Garfield High School. All donations are tax-deductible to the extent provided by law.

The Dolphins have signed Tannehill to a 4 year deal with an option of a fifth (as all the other 1st rounders). The biggest factor of the holdout was the offset language and according to Mike Florio there is in fact offset language in the contract which was what the Dolphins wanted. Tannehill couldn't afford to miss more practice time if he wanted to have the opportunity to start right away.

Training camp audio
As I mentioned in an earlier post, I went out to the first day of training camp as a favor to Curt at Phins.com. The objective was to give you, Dolphins fans, a chance to hear about it, if you can't make it out to the facility.
So here's a 25 minute audio post that gives you a sense of what its all about!

Chad changes his name back to Johnson
Chad has legally changed his name back to Chad Johnson. Chad suffered a significant drop to his stats when he switched to Ochocinco from Johnson a few years back. He said he wants to go back to his previous self, hopefully this is the first step in doing so.

Recap |
Final Stats
Northern Illinois vs. Central Michigan
November 12, 2008
Huskie Stadium DeKalb, Ill.
Northern Illinois Head Coach Jerry Kill
On the game
"Its just one of those things where we had a good opportunity to win the game and we had to make a big play at the end in order to get that done. We did everything we did in order to get back into the game and we hung in there. I think that when most people saw us going in at halftime they thought that this one was over. But, what is good about that locker room is the kids listen as they always have. They have bought into everything that we have told them and we went back to the basics. I thought the kids and the coaches did a great job in the second half. In was tremendous in a lot of ways and a great second half."
On thoughts during halftime
"I told the kids at halftime to forget the scoreboard, forget what everybody else is saying, we just need to focus on getting better in the second half. If we do that, we would be in the game at the end. And we were. We just needed to get some confidence with the ball and do everything we could do to get back into the game."
On the onside kicks
"All the things that we do early in the game like that we practice all the time. You have to create ways to win the game sometimes. As a team, we did everything that we could to get back into the game, which we ultimately did."
On the overall effort as a team
"Our kids played as hard as they could and they never gave up. (Central Michigan) was stronger up front and that is what did it for them. Give them the credit."
Mike Sobol, SS
On onside kick recoveries
"Mike Salerno is great with onsides. He's always perfect in practice and we had the outmost confidence in him. I have the easiest job out of everyone on the field, all I have to do is catch the ball. Pat Schiller and Landon Cox are the cleanup guys and knockout the first person they see. We had perfect execution on both of them."
"Despite the outcome, tonight was the most fun game I've ever been a part of. They had the momentum the entire first half but we were able to claw back and get the momentum in the second half. It was a total team effort out there. The loss hits you hard in the stomach. But we did a lot of good things and we're going to build on this game and win the next two."
On his overtime interception
"We were running the vertical route the entire game. I thought I had Britt Davis with open space. I really did not see the defensive back. The DB made a great play on the ball."
Matt Simon, WR
"Harnish said it right. We came out flat but the special teams were able to give us the momentum back. Chandler was able to make plays in the second. I'm disappointed in the results, but at the same time I'm proud of how we clawed our way back to make it a game."
On his fourth down reception late in the game
"The coaches tell us over and over again to make a play. I saw Chandler roll out so I broke off my route and tried to make a play. Chandler made a great throw."
On his success against Central Michigan
"For me it's just another game and unfortunately another loss. I prepare for this team exactly like I do for any other."
Central Michigan Head Coach Butch Jones
On tonight's win
"Obviously, great win. I think anytime you go on the road and win, it is a great win. Our kids believed we would win. We suffered in the second half, but nobody stopped believing and there was no doubt we were going to get the win when we went into overtime."
On Northern Illinois' onside kicks
"Their kicker does a great job, not everyone in the country can kick it on side like that. He makes it so difficult because he skips the ball into the ground and then it pops up and then it is anyone's ball. Hats off to them as they play to win a football game, we just made one more play than they did at the end."
On this season's difficulty
"I think it shapes you. It molds you, teaches everyone in your program to persevere. Sometimes a win like this is better than winning it big all the time because our kids are tested. They have not wavered, they have not flinched, I just cannot say enough about the perseverance and leadership we have amongst all of our players."
Dan LeFevour, QB, CMU
On Northern Illinois
"They are a tough physical football team that plays hard. That is something that has stuck out about them is that they play hard."
On his offensive line
"I have a lot of confidence in the front five. When those guys are on we can do pretty much anything. We knew NIU's defense was tough but it was going to come down to who won up front."
Andrew Aguila, PK, CMU
On the final kick
"I try it just as another a kick. You just try to go out there and not think that game is on the line. Just kick it straight and hopefully it goes through."

Sunroom Windows and Doors
You have many options when it comes to opening your sunroom to the outside light. Photo Credit: Elsie esq.
When you're having a sunroom added onto your home, it goes without saying that the majority of this new structure consists of doors and windows. Many sunroom companies won't give you a large selection of windows and doors to choose from. They tend to work with only certain brands of windows, allowing the homeowner to choose only the casing materials: wood, vinyl, or aluminum.
That doesn't mean that you don't have a choice, however. By comparing sunroom installation companies, you will see that they each have something different to offer. If you know ahead of time what you want in a door and window for your sunroom, you'll easily be able to select the most compatible company for you.
Self-Cleaning Glass Maintains the Sunroom View
One of the most daunting characteristics of glass is that it can collect and show so much dirt, which can really detract from your scenic views from the sunroom and from its attractiveness from outside. Luckily, many sunrooms now come with glass that is self-cleaning, which means you get to keep your views and maintain your sunroom's attractiveness from the outside, all without much effort from you. When shopping for sunrooms, be sure to ask each company you encounter if their sunrooms come with self-cleaning glass.
Seamless Mechanisms for Easy Operation
While you'll want to capture as much sunlight as you can in your sunroom during the winter months without letting your heat escape, you'll probably also want to let some fresh air in during warmer days. Find out what mechanisms are used to allow you to open windows and skylights in your sunroom. Be sure to look them over well. You'll want a system that is easy to operate and reach, yet subtle in design so that it doesn't stick out like a bunch of sore thumbs across your sleek glass enclosure.
Design's a Breeze
Also handy for letting in the cool summer breezes are screens. Ask your sunroom installer to show you how to place your window and door screens properly for the warmer months. Again, they should be easy for you to work, but in keeping with the beauty of your room design.
Shop for Energy Efficient Glass Options
In addition to ease of use and aesthetics, you also need to be aware of the global and budgetary effects of the windows and doors in your new sunroom. Find out if the glass used in your sunroom will be insulated, low-e, and/or tinted or treated in any way. What you're really asking is how energy efficient the glass will be. You want to make sure that the glass is insulated enough to not let your HVAC heat escape, but not so insulated that you won't receive the benefits of solar gain.
Safe, Strong, and Secure
The last thing you may want to consider is security. While most glass panels are fairly easily broken, find out the strength of the glass as well as the system holding the panels together. Make sure that the sunroom system your installer will be using is durable enough to hold up to the weather conditions in your region as well as to ill-intentioned uninvited guests.

As an artist I want to create a world inhabited by objects captured in a state of conflict between their inner and the exterior realities. Performing a playful behavior can fill the existential gap that is created as a result of this conflict. On a visual level this behavior leads to forms of disguise. Even chairs, mattresses or wallpapers can be seen as costumes. As always, costumes represent the realm of the imaginary.

June 25th - July 10th
The Grenning Gallery is pleased to invite the public to an opening reception on Saturday, July 25th, 2016 from 6:00pm to 7:30pm. The show will hang until Sunday, July 10th.
The paintings of Sarah Lamb and Thomas Cardone, while different in style and subject, share a compositional similarity that complement each other in a two-person show. Cardones plein air landscapes of nautical scenes from the East End of Long Island and Lamb's studio paintings featuring an array of ubiquitous and everyday items pair well aesthetically. In this show, Lambs subjects vary from food to a model antique car, but all exemplify her attention to dimension in foreground, middle ground, and background on the canvas. With both Lamb and Cardone, one is rewarded both emotionally and intellectually by the consideration given to each of these aspects.
Ms. Lambs highly evolved and meticulous process whose antecedents are Beaux Arts Academe training from 19th century France and she's a star of the current poetic realism movement. She studied with renowned late 20th century and early 21st century classical painters Jacob Collins in New York City and Ted Seth Jacobs in France. Ms. Lamb consistently achieves a formidable accomplishment in her still life paintings: uncanny verisimilitude attaining palpable beauty and a deep sense in truth and nature--the result when master craft and technique combine with personal warmth and observation not of photographs but directly from life. With a distinctly American sensibility, one might even call Lamb a "multi-regional" painter. Living in both Pennsylvanias Brandywine Valley and in Houston, Texas, Ms. Lambs locale very much informs her work. She notes that the quality of light in her Texas studio is of a decidedly higher value and we can see this especially in the backgrounds of her new paintings in this exhibition.
In "Pineapples", our eyes travel from the dramatically lit pineapples, which establish both vertical and horizontal lines, to a background dappled with light and shadow. It intricately accepts the patterns of the fronds, to the diagonal line of the knife, to the unusual placement of the cutting board, bisecting the visual field, subtly yet emphatically directing our eyes to the deftly painted negative space beneath it.
In Lambs transcendent "Eggs", the balance and harmony of the natural world come to life in the interplay of foreground and background. The eggs various colors, textures, and luminosity of shadings in browns, greens, and ecru are integrated into the background. The ultimate effect of this composition is a celebration of the harmony and ineffable unity found in nature.
A relatively new participant on Facebook, Ms. Lamb notes somewhat wryly that "Antique Alfa Romeo" has garnered more "likes" and "comments" than any other image she has posted. A friend in the Hamptons sent her the model car to paint and she did just that with its quasi-theatrical lighting. A diagonal spotlight falls across the hood, tires (and wheel spokes), table, and brown leather strap hanging from the table and finally fills the lower right quadrant below the tabletop. "Antique Alfa Romeo" is a striking image.
A highly successful art director on animated feature films for Disney and Twentieth Century Fox, Thomas Cardones nautical scenes clearly exhibit a cinematic quality not only in composition but also in that the images seem story-centered rather than static. In the anchor painting of this collection, note how teeming with life is "Wanderer, Sag Harbor New York." Set well back in the scene: the boat, pier, pilings, and small building reflect bright sunlight onto the watery foreground. The jazz-like interplay of greens, blues, pinks, whites, and yellows between foreground and background recall a shimmering quality specific to many 19th century East End impressionists.
July 16th - August 1st
The Grenning Gallery is pleased to invite the public to an opening reception on Saturday, July 16th, 2016 from 6:30pm to 8:00pm. The show will hang until Monday, August 1st.
As plein air painting continues to resurge, the Grenning Gallery is pleased and honored to present Marc Dalessio's latest solo show, Marc Dalessio: Rediscovers Italy, on July 16, 2016. This exhibition features large-scale works created in celebration of Dalessios return to Italy. There, he studied and lived for twenty years, before embarking on world travels pursuing his passion for plein air painting and relocating to his present home in Croatia. Dalessios "rediscovery" is so named to acknowledge the "new eyes" from which he perceives his subject(s) and his technical ability to apply that to canvas. In addition to his formal training in painting, few know Marc was a biology major in college and thus an almost scientific inquiry into the nature and properties of light is always present in his work.
The fact that Dalessios website and blog devoted to plein air painting has become an invaluable resource to all might seem a touch ironic: a digital platform from which to revel in a centuries-old tradition, but not to Dalessio. Motivated by his own experiences as a college art student with an unquenchable desire for access to the images, painters, and history and knowledge of en plein air and frustrated by the limitations of availability, creating the digital resource is a natural evolution and organic expression of the artists generosity of spirit, talent, and emotion--readily on display in the epic works of this show.
The two anchor paintings in the show are evocative, in-depth studies of the same Tuscan landscape at different times of year, and in vastly different light. These works proclaim Dalessio's now mature, highly accomplished craft and technique.
Dalessio exquisitely renders the values of bright sun beaming down behind him in "Castelmuzio, Backlit." Note the dashes of nuanced high sunlight reflecting on the wintry grass in the foreground and as we push deeper into the scene, the more intense light, shadow, and color shimmering across four trees traversing the middle ground. And beyond, the pale villa almost crouching down low to keep warm beneath the white and blue of the sky co-mingling to a visceral, chilly effect: low hanging clouds infused with a bluish tint, the sky above filled with vertical wisps and spires so that neither cloud nor sky are discrete but rather compromised by the other. In the sister painting, "Castelmuzio", we revisit the same landscape but now at a more convivial time of year, the perspective as well as color palette decidedly warmer: the villa now perched on a hilltop, seeming to stand erect, face to the sun, it's sepulchral pallor transformed to a rich brown terra cotta; the Tuscan hills and foreground now lush and verdant; the blue and white of the sky no longer adversarial but complementary with the white illuminating the blue from behind.
The most original work in this show is "Tuscan Light", which features nine separate panels in one frame of the same landscape painted at the same time of day though in various atmospheric conditions. In this piece, Dalessio employs an almost clinical approach that seamlessly marries the dual impulses of the scientist and the artist to wonderful effect.
A work that fully expresses and articulates Marcs "rediscovery" of Italy is "Giudecca in Winter", where the artist eschews well-trod locales of Venice in favor of a small district, actually an island unto itself, separated by a canal. Furthermore, where paintings of Venice are usually organized in horizontal lines, here we see and feel the solitude and isolation of the square on this damp, overcast day with the vertical lines of a chimney, a few trees, lampposts, and pilings poking out of the water--if not exactly a revisionist perspective, a decidedly personal one.

Hi all
actually i am trying to create RFC connection between my SAP ECC and BI system. when i am trying to connect my SAP ECC and SAP BI system through RSA1->source system->Right mouse click on SAP folder, there when i typed all required fill and pressed enter system showing the error " check the connection parameter for the source system". I have checked the parameters through SM51. It is "sapserver_DM0_01". now i can not proceed. please advise me
create an RFC destination on the local system for remote SAP system with which you want to communicate. In the RFC destination, you specify all the information necessary to log on to the remote system to execute functions remotely, including the host name, the user ID, the password, the client, the system number, and additional communication settings.
So after creating a new entry of type ABAP Connection (The ALE process uses type R/ 3 connections to communicate with a remote SAP system, and the EDI process uses type TCP/IP connections to communicate with the EDI subsystem), one is expected to fill in details in Technical tab. Fill the Target Host Id (this should be same as defined in r/3) and give System No. and IP Address of the target system
Chk have u done like that?
1.Go to SALE t-code,Create logical name for the ECC and BI system respectively.
(IDoc Interface / Application Link Enabling (ALE) -> Logical Systems -> Define Logical System.
2.Assign client number to logical system suppose if you are working under client 100 assign your logical sysetm name to an client 100.
(Assign Logical System to Client)
3.Create RFC connection: Create an RFC connection to the destination system by specifying the destination system in RFC destionation and give the user name and password in Logon setting.
4.Clieck on Remote logon it will remotly connects to BI system.It means that you have done an connection with BI System.
Creating an Outbound Partner Profile :
List of Profile Parameters :
Profile Parameters SAP on IBM DB2 for i:

Manually creating partner profiles (WE20) :
Dear Ashwin, THanks for the reply....i have done till your 4th step. when i am clicking on remote log on it connects my BI system remotly. But after that when i am going in the t-code RSA1->source system->SAP folder->create. There when i am giving all the information like available destination etc.....then when i am clicking ok system shows the error " check the connection parameter for the source system".......so plz advise me
Are you sure about your client details... IP address..and check the user name and pwd used to login ( given while creating RFC).
Yes everything is correct. I have done RFC connection through SM59 in my SAP ECC system and then went to check connection test and went to remote log on till here every thing is fine. should i go to my BI server also and create the same RFC connection for my ECC system through SM59?....i have tryied this options also. the moment i entered my RFC destination and connection type "3" and then press enter, system shows "destination already created".....so please advise me what to do next?
Go to transaction RSA13 and right-click over the system you're having problems and choose "restore" (you probably need the password of the user, normally a basis task).
Also go to transaction we20 and under the partner type LS click on the system you're having problems and under classification make sure the status is "A" (active), if not change it to active.
Also make sure your basis team check in transaction we20 the outbound parameters and inbound parameters settings of that system.
And also in transaction rsa13 after the restore and we20 checking right-click on it and choose check. If it is OK, don't forget to right-click on it again and choose replicate datasources
Take help from here:
Let see still if any

Cross check all thse steps again:
Step1 :- BW side :- Create RFC Connection in SM59.
RFC destination name - Name should be logical system in r/3.
Connection type:- 3
1st tab technical settings
Target host :- IP address of r/3 server.
Sytem :03
2nd tab Logon/Security
Client-r/3 client no
user- r/3 user
Password - r/3 password.
Step 2:- R/3 same procedure SM59
RFC destination name - Name should be logical system in bw.
Connection type:- 0
1st tab technical settings
Target host :- IP address of r/3 server.

In addition to abovet you have to make few changes in SE03 in source system, extract from help.sap.com:
As a rule, system changes are not permitted in productive systems. Connecting a system as a source system to a BI system or connecting a BI system to a new source system will, however, mean changes as far as the system change option is concerned. Make the following settings in the source system to ensure that the following changes are valid in the relevant clients of the systems when connecting the source system.

Thanks a lot ashwin for replying......all the steps look ok for me......in SAP ECC i have created to RFC connection and i can able to check the connection test successfully and after that i can go to remote log in also through SAP ECC server. But now when i went to SAP BI server in SM59 the same setting i did, but i am not able to get connection test successfully it is showing error...the rest of setting is done. so plz advise what to do next?
check with ur basis... am not able to point out your issue unless if i can view the system.
Hello Ashwin
I had to set up RFC connection between ECC and BI system. I religiously followed your instructions. They were extremely helpful and i have successfully configured.
Thanks for your answers
Ahmed Nawaz
Hi ashwin,
can you please tell me how to create the rfc connection between the SAP BW and Java Server. I should be able to send the data to java server and send the modified data to SAP BW.
Please suggest me the solution for this.

Vegetables Deliver Protein with Micronutrients
From Dr. Fuhrman's book Disease Proof Your Child:
When you eat to maximize micronutrients, your body function will improve; chronic illnesses like high blood pressure, Type II diabetes, and high cholesterol will likely disappear; and your youthful vigor will last into old age. Heart disease and cancer, the major killers of modern societies, would fade away and be exceedingly rare occurrences if the population adopted a cancer-preventive diet style and lifestyle. And we would hardly ever see any overweight children.
Maintaining a population of normal-weight individuals can be efficiently accomplished only by eating more high-nutrient foods, foods with higher nutrient-per-calorie ratio. The foods with the most nutrients per calorie are vegetables and beans. Vegetables are also very rich in protein and calcium. Most vegetables have more protein per calorie than meat and more calcium per calorie than milk. Nobody can consume too little protein by eating less animal products and substituting vegetables, beans, nuts, and seeds.
The focus on the importance of protein in the diet is one of the major reasons we have been led down the wrong path to dietary suicide. We were taught to equate protein with good nutrition and have though animal products, not vegetables, whole grains, beans, nuts, and seeds, are our best source of protein. We bought a false bill of goods, and the dairy-and-meat-heavy diet brought fourth a heart attack and cancer epidemic.
If we hear something over and over since we were young children, we just accept it as true. For example, it is myth repeated over and over that plant proteins are "incomplete" and need to be "complemented" for adequate protein. In fact, all vegetables and grains contain all eight of the essential amino acids (as well as the 12 other nonessential ones).1 While some vegetables have higher or lower proportions of certain amino acids than others, when eaten in amounts to satisfy one's caloric needs, a sufficient amount of all essential amino acids are provided. Because digestive secretions and sloughed-off mucosal cells are constantly recycled and reabsorbed, the amino acid composition in the bloodstream after meals is remarkably complete in spite of short-term irregularities in their dietary supply.
It is interesting to note that peas, green vegetables, and beans have more protein per calorie than meat. But what is not generally considered is that foods that are rich in plant protein are generally the foods that are richest in nutrients and phytochemicals. By eating more of these high-nutrient, low calorie foods we get plenty of protein, and our bodies get flooded with protective micronutrients simultaneously. Animal protein does not contain antioxidants and phtyochemicals, plant protein does. Plus, animal protein is married to saturated fat, the most dangerous type of fat.
|Grams of Protein
|Almonds (3 oz)
|Broccoli (2 cups)
|Brown Rice (1 cup)
|Chickpeas (1 cup)
|Corn (1 cup)
|Lentils (1 cup)
|Peas--frozen (1 cup)
|Spinach--frozen (1 cup)
|Tofu (4 ounces)
|Whole wheat bread (2 slices)
Even a professional body builder who wants to build one-half pound of extra muscle per week only needs about an extra seven grams per day over a normal protein intake. No Complicated formulas or protein supplements are needed to get sufficient protein for growth, even in the serious athlete. Exercise increases hunger, and as the athlete consumes more calories to meet the demands of exercise, they will naturally get the extra protein they need. Many world-class athletes thrive at world-class competitions on vegetarian and vegan diets.
When you reduce or eliminate animal protein intake and increase vegetable protein intake, you lower cholesterol radically. Vegetables, beans, and nuts and seeds are all rich in protein, and they also have no saturated fat or cholesterol. But the clincher is that they are higher in nutrients than any other foods. We must structure our diets around the foods that supply the most micronutrients.
The cholesterol-lowering effects of vegetables and beans (high protein foods) are without question. When adult subjects are feed a vegetable-based diet, cholesterol levels drop radically, much more than with the most powerful cholesterol-lowering drugs.2 These foods also contain an assortment of heart disease-fighting nutrients independent of their ability to lower cholesterol, and they fight cancer, too.

A string in XEmacs Lisp is an array that contains an ordered sequence of characters. Strings are used as names of symbols, buffers, and files, to send messages to users, to hold text being copied between buffers, and for many other purposes. Because strings are so important, XEmacs Lisp has many functions expressly for manipulating them. XEmacs Lisp programs use strings more often than individual characters.

Strings in XEmacs Lisp are arrays that contain an ordered sequence of characters. Characters are their own primitive object type in XEmacs 20. However, in XEmacs 19, characters are represented in XEmacs Lisp as integers; whether an integer was intended as a character or not is determined only by how it is used. See section 8.4.3 Character Type.
The length of a string (like any array) is fixed and independent of the string contents, and cannot be altered. Strings in Lisp are not terminated by a distinguished character code. (By contrast, strings in C are terminated by a character with ASCII code 0.) This means that any character, including the null character (ASCII code 0), is a valid element of a string.
Since strings are considered arrays, you can operate on them with the
general array functions. (See section 12. Sequences, Arrays, and Vectors.) For
example, you can access or change individual characters in a string
using the functions
aref and
aset (see section 12.3 Functions that Operate on Arrays).
Strings use an efficient representation for storing the characters in them, and thus take up much less memory than a vector of the same length.
Sometimes you will see strings used to hold key sequences. This exists for backward compatibility with Emacs 18, but should not be used in new code, since many key chords can't be represented at all and others (in particular meta key chords) are confused with accented characters.
Strings are useful for holding regular expressions. You can also
match regular expressions against strings (see section 44.3 Regular Expression Searching). The
match-string (see section 44.6.1 Simple Match Data Access) and
replace-match (see section 44.6.2 Replacing the Text That Matched) are useful for
decomposing and modifying strings based on regular expression matching.
Like a buffer, a string can contain extents in it. These extents are
created when a function such as
buffer-substring is called on a
region with duplicable extents in it. When the string is inserted into
a buffer, the extents are inserted along with it. See section 47.9 Duplicable Extents.
See section 43. Text, for information about functions that display strings or copy them into buffers. See section 8.4.3 Character Type, and 8.4.8 String Type, for information about the syntax of characters and strings.

In XEmacs addition, this function also returns
t if object
is an integer that can be represented as a character. This is because
of compatibility with previous XEmacs and should not be depended on.

The following functions create strings, either from scratch, or by putting strings together, or by taking them apart.
(string ?X ?E ?m ?a ?c ?s) => "XEmacs" (string) => ""
Analogous functions operating on other data types include
cons (see section 11.5 Building Cons Cells and Lists),
vector (see section 12.4 Vectors)
bit-vector (see section 12.6 Bit Vectors). This function has not been
available in XEmacs prior to 21.0 and FSF Emacs prior to 20.3.
(make-string 5 ?x) => "xxxxx" (make-string 0 ?x) => ""
Other functions to compare with this one include
(see section 10.7 Conversion of Characters and Strings),
make-vector (see section 12.4 Vectors), and
make-list (see section 11.5 Building Cons Cells and Lists).
In this implementation,
substring is an alias for
so string can be any sequence. In GNU Emacs, string can be
a string or a vector, and in older XEmacs it can only be a string.
(substring "abcdefg" 0 3) => "abc"
Here the index for `a' is 0, the index for `b' is 1, and the
index for `c' is 2. Thus, three letters, `abc', are copied
from the string
"abcdefg". The index 3 marks the character
position up to which the substring is copied. The character whose index
is 3 is actually the fourth character in the string.
A negative number counts from the end of the string, so that -1 signifies the index of the last character of the string. For example:
(substring "abcdefg" -3 -1) => "ef"
In this example, the index for `e' is -3, the index for `f' is -2, and the index for `g' is -1. Therefore, `e' and `f' are included, and `g' is excluded.
nil is used as an index, it stands for the length of the
string. Thus,
(substring "abcdefg" -3 nil) => "efg"
Omitting the argument end is equivalent to specifying
It follows that
(substring string 0) returns a copy of all
of string.
(substring "abcdefg" 0) => "abcdefg"
But we recommend
copy-sequence for this purpose (see section 12.1 Sequences).
If the characters copied from string have duplicable extents or text properties, those are copied into the new string also. See section 47.9 Duplicable Extents.
wrong-type-argument error is signaled if either start or
end is not a fixnum or
nil. An
error is signaled if start indicates a character following
end, or if either integer is out of range for string.
Contrast this function with
buffer-substring (see section 43.2 Examining Buffer Contents), which returns a string containing a portion of the text in
the current buffer. The beginning of a string is at index 0, but the
beginning of a buffer is at index 1.
concat receives no arguments, it
returns an empty string.
(concat "abc" "-def")
=> "abc-def"
(equal (concat "abc" (list 120 (+ 256 121)) [122]) (format "abcx%cz" 377))
=> t
concat function always constructs a new string that is
eq to any existing string.
For information about other concatenation functions, see the description
mapconcat in 17.6 Mapping Functions,
vconcat in
12.4 Vectors,
bvconcat in 12.6 Bit Vectors, and
in 11.5 Building Cons Cells and Lists.

list of strings by splitting a string on occurrences of a regular

t if object is a character.
Some functions that work on integers (e.g. the comparison functions
<, <=, =, /=, etc. and the arithmetic functions +, -, *, etc.)
accept characters and implicitly convert them into integers. In
general, functions that work on characters also accept char-ints and
implicitly convert them into characters. WARNING: Neither of these
behaviors is very desirable, and they are maintained for backward
compatibility with old E-Lisp programs that confounded characters and
integers willy-nilly. These behaviors may change in the future; therefore,
do not rely on them. Instead, convert the characters explicitly

Pairs of characters are compared by their ASCII codes. Keep in mind that lower case letters have higher numeric values in the ASCII character set than their upper case counterparts; numbers and many punctuation characters have a lower numeric value than upper case letters.
(string< "abc" "abd") => t (string< "abd" "abc") => nil (string< "123" "abc") => t
When the strings have different lengths, and they match up to the

read-from-string (see section 23.3 Input Functions) can "convert" a
string representation of a Lisp object into an object.
See section 34. Documentation, for functions that produce textual descriptions
of text characters and general input events
single-key-description and
text-char-description). These
functions are used primarily for making help messages.
This function is similar to
make-string with an integer argument
of 1. (See section 10.3 Creating Strings.) This conversion can also be done with
format using the `%c' format specification.
(See section 10.10 Formatting Strings.)
(char-to-string ?x) => "x" (char-to-string (+ 256 ?x)) => "x" (make-string 1 ?x) => "x"
(string-to-char "ABC") => ?A ;; Under XEmacs 20. => 65 ;; Under XEmacs 19. (string-to-char "xyz") => ?x ;; Under XEmacs 20. => 120 ;; Under XEmacs 19. (string-to-char "") => 0 (string-to-char "\000") => ?\^ ;; Under XEmacs 20. => 0 ;; Under XEmacs 20.
This function may be eliminated in the future if it does not seem useful enough to retain.
(number-to-string 256) => "256" (number-to-string -23) => "-23" (number-to-string -23.5) => "-23.5"
int-to-string is a semi-obsolete alias for this function.
See also the function
format in 10.10 Formatting Strings.
If base is not specified, it defaults to ten. With base other than ten, only integers can be read.
(string-to-number "256") => 256 (string-to-number "25 is a perfect square.") => 25 (string-to-number "X256") => 0 (string-to-number "-4.5") => -4.5 (string-to-number "ffff" 16) => 65535

You can modify a string using the general array-modifying primitives.
See section 12.2 Arrays. The function
aset modifies a single character;
the function
fillarray sets all characters in the string to
a specified character.
Each string has a tick counter that starts out at zero (when the string is created) and is incremented each time a change is made to that string.

Just as with symbols, extents, faces, and glyphs, you can attach additional information to strings in the form of string properties. These differ from text properties, which are logically attached to particular characters in the string.
To attach a property to a string, use
put. To retrieve a property
from a string, use
get. You can also use
remprop to remove
a property from a string and
object-plist to retrieve a list of
all the properties in a string.

Formatting means constructing a string by substitution of computed values at various places in a constant string. This string controls how the other values are printed as well as where they appear; it is called a format string.
Formatting is often useful for computing messages to be displayed. In
fact, the functions
message and
error provide the same
formatting feature described here; they differ from
format only
in how they use the result of formatting.
A format specification is a sequence of characters beginning with a
`%'. Thus, if there is a `%d' in string, the
format function replaces it with the printed representation of
one of the values to be formatted (one of the arguments objects).
For example:
(format "The value of fill-column is %d." fill-column) => "The value of fill-column is 72."
If string contains more than one format specification, the format specifications correspond with successive values from objects. Thus, the first format specification in string uses the first such value, the second format specification uses the second such value, and so on. Any extra format specifications (those for which there are no corresponding values) cause unpredictable behavior. Any extra values to be formatted are ignored.
Certain format specifications require values of particular types. However, no error is signaled if the value actually supplied fails to have the expected type. Instead, the output is likely to be meaningless.
Here is a table of valid format specifications:
If there is no corresponding object, the empty string is used.
If there is no corresponding object, the empty string is used.
(format "%%
%d" 30) returns
"% 30".
Any other format character results in an `Invalid format operation' error.
Here are several examples:
(format "The name of this buffer is %s." (buffer-name)) => "The name of this buffer is strings.texi." (format "The buffer object prints as %s." (current-buffer)) => "The buffer object prints as #<buffer strings.texi>." (format "The octal value of %d is %o, and the hex value is %x." 18 18 18) => "The octal value of 18 is 22, and the hex value is 12."
There are many additional flags and specifications that can occur between the `%' and the format character, in the following order:
A repositioning specification changes which argument to
format is used by the current and all following format
specifications. Normally the first specification uses the first
argument, the second specification uses the second argument, etc. Using
a repositioning specification, you can change this. By placing a number
n followed by a `$' between the `%' and the format
character, you cause the specification to use the nth argument.
The next specification will use the n+1'th argument, etc.
For example:
(format "Can't find file `%s' in directory `%s'." "ignatius.c" "loyola/") => "Can't find file `ignatius.c' in directory `loyola/'." (format "In directory `%2$s', the file `%1$s' was not found." "ignatius.c" "loyola/") => "In directory `loyola/', the file `ignatius.c' was not found." (format "The numbers %d and %d are %1$x and %x in hex and %1$o and %o in octal." 37 12) => "The numbers 37 and 12 are 25 and c in hex and 45 and 14 in octal."
As you can see, this lets you reprocess arguments more than once or reword a format specification (thereby moving the arguments around) without having to actually reorder the arguments. This is especially useful in translating messages from one language to another: Different languages use different word orders, and this sometimes entails changing the order of the arguments. By using repositioning specifications, this can be accomplished without having to embed knowledge of particular languages into the location in the program's code where the message is displayed.
All the specification characters allow an optional numeric prefix between the `%' and the character, and following any repositioning specification or flag. The optional numeric prefix defines the minimum width for the object. If the printed representation of the object contains fewer characters than this, then it is padded. The padding is normally on the left, but will be on the right if the `-' flag character is given. The padding character is normally a space, but if the `0' flag character is given, zeros are used for padding.
(format "%06d is padded on the left with zeros" 123) => "000123 is padded on the left with zeros" (format "%-6d is padded on the right" 123) => "123 is padded on the right"
format never truncates an object's printed representation, no
matter what width you specify. Thus, you can use a numeric prefix to
specify a minimum spacing between columns with no risk of losing
In the following three examples, `%7s' specifies a minimum width
of 7. In the first case, the string inserted in place of `%7s' has
only 3 letters, so 4 blank spaces are inserted for padding. In the
second case, the string
"specification" is 13 letters wide but is
not truncated. In the third case, the padding is on the right.
(format "The word `%7s' actually has %d letters in it." "foo" (length "foo")) => "The word ` foo' actually has 3 letters in it." (format "The word `%7s' actually has %d letters in it." "specification" (length "specification")) => "The word `specification' actually has 13 letters in it." (format "The word `%-7s' actually has %d letters in it." "foo" (length "foo")) => "The word `foo ' actually has 3 letters in it."
After any minimum field width, a precision may be specified by preceding it with a `.' character. The precision specifies the minimum number of digits to appear in `%d', `%i', `%o', `%x', and `%X' conversions (the number is padded on the left with zeroes as necessary); the number of digits printed after the decimal point for `%f', `%e', and `%E' conversions; the number of significant digits printed in `%g' and `%G' conversions; and the maximum number of non-padding characters printed in `%s' and `%S' conversions. The default precision for floating-point conversions is six.
The other flag characters have the following meanings:
|[ < ]
|[ > ]
|[ << ]
|[ Up ]
|[ >> ]
|[ ? ]
The character case functions change the case of single characters or of the contents of strings. The functions convert only alphabetic characters (the letters `A' through `Z' and `a' through `z'); other characters are not altered. The functions do not modify the strings that are passed to them as arguments.
The examples below use the characters `X' and `x' which have ASCII codes 88 and 120 respectively.
When the argument to
downcase is a string, the function creates
and returns a new string in which each letter in the argument that is
upper case is converted to lower case. When the argument to
downcase is a character,
downcase returns the
corresponding lower case character. (This value is actually an integer
under XEmacs 19.) If the original character is lower case, or is not a
letter, then the value equals the original character.
Optional second arg buffer specifies which buffer's case tables to use, and defaults to the current buffer.
(downcase "The cat in the hat") => "the cat in the hat" (downcase ?X) => ?x ;; Under XEmacs 20. => 120 ;; Under XEmacs 19.
When the argument to
upcase is a string, the function creates
and returns a new string in which each letter in the argument that is
lower case is converted to upper case.
When the argument to
upcase is a character,
upcase returns
the corresponding upper case character. (This value is actually an
integer under XEmacs 19.) If the original character is upper case, or
is not a letter, then the value equals the original character.
Optional second arg buffer specifies which buffer's case tables to use, and defaults to the current buffer.
(upcase "The cat in the hat") => "THE CAT IN THE HAT" (upcase ?x) => ?X ;; Under XEmacs 20. => 88 ;; Under XEmacs 19.
The definition of a word is any sequence of consecutive characters that are assigned to the word constituent syntax class in the current syntax table (see section 45.2.1 Table of Syntax Classes).
When the argument to
capitalize is a character,
has the same result as
Optional second arg buffer specifies which buffer's case tables to use, and defaults to the current buffer.
(capitalize "The cat in the hat") => "The Cat In The Hat" (capitalize "THE 77TH-HATTED CAT") => "The 77th-Hatted Cat" (capitalize ?x) => ?X ;; Under XEmacs 20. => 88 ;; Under XEmacs 19.

You can customize case conversion by installing a special case table. A case table specifies the mapping between upper case and lower case letters. It affects both the string and character case conversion functions (see the previous section) and those that apply to text in the buffer (see section 43.17 Case Changes). You need a case table if you are using a language which has letters other than the standard ASCII letters.
A case table is a list of this form:
(downcase upcase canonicalize equivalences)
where each element is either
nil or a string of length 256. The
element downcase says how to map each character to its lower-case
equivalent. The element upcase maps each character to its
upper-case equivalent. If lower and upper case characters are in
one-to-one correspondence, use
nil for upcase; then XEmacs
deduces the upcase table from downcase.
For some languages, upper and lower case letters are not in one-to-one correspondence. There may be two different lower case letters with the same upper case equivalent. In these cases, you need to specify the maps for both directions.
The element canonicalize maps each character to a canonical equivalent; any two characters that are related by case-conversion have the same canonical equivalent character.
The element equivalences is a map that cyclicly permutes each equivalence class (of characters with the same canonical equivalent). (For ordinary ASCII, this would map `a' into `A' and `A' into `a', and likewise for each set of equivalent characters.)
When you construct a case table, you can provide
nil for
canonicalize; then Emacs fills in this string from upcase
and downcase. You can also provide
nil for
equivalences; then Emacs fills in this string from
canonicalize. In a case table that is actually in use, those
components are non-
nil. Do not try to specify equivalences
without also specifying canonicalize.
Each buffer has a case table. XEmacs also has a standard case table which is copied into each buffer when you create the buffer. Changing the standard case table doesn't affect any existing buffers.
Here are the functions for working with case tables:
nil if object is a valid case
The following three functions are convenient subroutines for packages that define non-ASCII character sets. They modify a string downcase-table provided as an argument; this should be a string to be used as the downcase part of a case table. They also modify the standard syntax table. See section 45. Syntax Tables.
You can load the library `iso-syntax' to set up the standard syntax table and define a case table for the 8-bit ISO Latin 1 character set.

A char table is a table that maps characters (or ranges of characters) to values. Char tables are specialized for characters, only allowing particular sorts of ranges to be assigned values. Although this loses in generality, it makes for extremely fast (constant-time) lookups, and thus is feasible for applications that do an extremely large number of lookups (e.g. scanning a buffer for a character in a particular syntax, where a lookup in the syntax table must occur once per character).
Note that char tables as a primitive type, and all of the functions in this section, exist only in XEmacs 20. In XEmacs 19, char tables are generally implemented using a vector of 256 elements.
When MULE support exists, the types of ranges that can be assigned values are
When MULE support is not present, the types of ranges that can be assigned values are
nil if object is a char table.

Duration: The amount of time that a valve is open. It is specified in degrees of crankshaft rotation. Shorter-duration camshafts yield power in a lower rpm range. Longer-duration cams work better at higher rpm, at the expense of bottom-end power as duration time is increased. Camshaft duration is defined at a specified lift point, and confusingly, there are two types of duration usually specified: advertised duration, and duration at 0.050-inch tappet/lifter lift. Duration at 0.050 inch is the one to use when comparing camshafts.
Two values are critical in specifying duration: crankshaft degrees of rotation, and the point of the tappet/lifter rising at which the measurement is taken. Advertised durations are measured all over the map; that is, not at any regular tappet/lifter rise value. In our valve lift curve plots, the advertised duration is measured at 0.006 inch (the line just above the horizontal axis). It can vary from one cam manufacturer to another. Remember, too, that tappet/lifter lift is at 0.006 inch, and actual valve lift is this value multiplied by the rocker arm ratio. In this example, it is 0.006 inch x 1.5 = 0.009-inch lift at the valve.
The opening and closing points of each valve are circled in this plot (just above the horizontal axis), and counting the number of crankshaft degrees between them gives us an advertised duration of 270 degrees for both exhaust and intake lobes. See this value specified by the dimension arrows below the horizontal axis. When the duration is the same for both lobes, the cam is called a single pattern cam.
A dual pattern cam is one that has a different profile on the intake and exhaust lobes. The lift and duration on the intake may be smaller or larger than the lift/duration on the exhaust lobe.
Duration at 0.050-inch tappet/lifter lift in this example is specified farther up the valve lift plot line; and in this example it is 224 degrees duration. Keep in mind that actual valve lift at this tappet/lifter rise value is 0.050 x 1.5 = 0.075 inch. That is where the second set of circles is placed up the valve lift curves.
We can see that in the simplified marketing world of "mine is bigger than yours" that using advertised duration instead of duration at 0.050-inch tappet/lifter lift might be a perceived advantage. Always rely on duration at 0.050 inch to compare camshafts.
Lobe Separation Angle: The number of camshaft degrees separating the peak lift point of the intake and exhaust lobes. Lobe separation angle is fixed in the camshaft after its initial grind and can only be changed by regrinding the camshaft. In our valve plot, the lobe separation angle is 110 camshaft degrees-the number of degrees peak to peak.
Lobe separation determines where peak torque will occur in the engine's power rpm range. A lobe separation of 106 degrees is "tight" and causes maximum torque to start earlier in the engine's rpm range. It will increase quickly and then peak early. A lobe separation of 110-112 degrees is more "open," or broad, and spreads torque across the ideal operating rpm, and improves power at upper rpm.
Intake And Exhaust Centerline:These centerlines are sometimes confused with lobe separation angle. We noted that lobe separation angle is fixed by the camshaft grind. Intake/exhaust centerline is referenced to piston TDC, thus it is adjustable by where the lobe's centerline is installed. This centerline is the position of the centerline-the peak lift point on the intake/exhaust lobe-in reference to piston TDC. It is the maximum lift point of the lobe related to TDC in crankshaft degrees. It can be changed-either advanced or retarded-and doing so is called degreeing a cam. Camshaft manufacturers supply a recommended intake centerline installation position.

The Doppler Effect
Probably the most common illustration of this phenomenon is the changing sound of a passing train. As a train approaches a person on the platform, the frequency of sound waves reaching your ear increases, and as the train passes the reverse happens. Thus the ear's perception of the pitch changes as the train moves through the platform.
This is all well and good, until the police version of "Q" realised that he could imply a car's velocity using the Doppler effect, by firing and receiving a radio signal at the moving vehicle. Thus was the birth of the speed gun.
These days of course, the police simply install speed cameras and wait for the cash to roll in. In a bygone era however, I remember vividly pushing my 1.3 Escort to "the max" on any piece of dual carriage way I could find. There was nothing like the fear of an overweight copper suddenly jumping out from behind a tree with what appeared to be a giant hairdryer, before planting both feet and aiming at your car Dirty Harry stylee. Ah, the good old days when you got caught properly rather than getting a letter in the post.
Last night I took an absolute bath at the Loose Cannon £1/£1 cash game, effectively getting caught speeding on THREE occasions in sizable pots. All three times I felt my opponent should have laid down, but unfortunately they didn't and I ended up £525 in the hole. I will leave it to the readers to make their own judgements:
I am playing about £250, and raise to £4 pre-flop with AsJc and get about 4 callers.
Flop Qs9s2d
I continuation bet for £10. Opponent re-raises to £30. I re-raise to £75. Opponent re-raises to £180. I have seen this move from him before with the flush draw, so rather than banging it in and giving him huge odds, I decide to flat call and shove on a non-spade turn thus reducing the odds (although admittedly not sufficiently, but it's possible someone will pass the draw with only one card to come).
Anyhow, Turn is a blank and I put my last £60 in and get called by Q5. Jeez. Speeding ticket one issued.
Same villain from above raises UTG to £4, and the Baron raises to £12 which is called in another spot. I make it £30 flat from the BB with 5c7c and only UTG calls.
Flop arrives 4, 8, 2
I decide to make the hand look as strong as possible given my 4 bet pre-flop and check raise my opponent all in and get called by A4 for middle pair. Sigh. Speeding ticket two issued.
I raise pre-flop in position with 5c9h and get a couple of callers.
Flop J,5,2
I bet the pot and Deven calls me.
Turn is a bank
I bet the pot, and Dev calls.
River is an ace which is a useful scare card.
I bet the pot (£60ish) and get called by Deven with J9.
At this point I am pretty exasperated, and with 9 points on my poker licence now, I fear my table image has completely gone to the dogs. I decide to leave before losing that last £275 I had in front of me. A wise decision I feel.
Thursday I am going to attempt to make it to the International to finally play a bigger field tournament. I hear they get 80+ for their £50 event, and I really need to get some big field practice in before Vegas.

I dont play much cash, but given the fact that these lads were either calling you or making moves against you while they were holding marginal hands why didnt you wait for premium hands to suck them in with, they sound like the sort of fish to take the hook..
Hand 1 = 4 callers
Hand 2 = re-raise to £30 called by A4
Hand 3 = looks like a stn call with J9 imo in that situ
You should be cleaning up off tese fish and getting that bank roll for Vegas so you can go fishing over there.

To be fair I was tilting quite badly after Hand 1, and I was opening far too many pots throughout the night after that which doesn't really come across in my post. Not a good display from me unfortunately :( Potentially in Hand2 and Hand3 this is what caused the calls.

Minimally Invasive Pediatric Cardiac Surgery
Cardiac surgeons at the University of Chicago Medicine Comer Children's Hospital are operating on the hearts of children through tiny openings in the chest, eliminating the need for sternotomy--a large incision through the breastbone (sternum). This method of surgery, called minimally invasive cardiac surgery, is a remarkable improvement over traditional, open-chest procedures. Surgeons use sophisticated thin instruments and miniature cameras to perform the operations.
Less Scarring, Faster Recovery
The benefits of minimally invasive surgery are sometimes the most evident in children. Because this advanced technique does not alter the breastbone and minimizes damage to healthy tissue, children have less post-surgical complications as they grow.
The benefits of minimally invasive cardiac surgery can be many, including:
- A few small incisions, instead of a long incision through the breastbone. Minimally invasive cardiac surgery requires little or no cutting of the breastbone or ribs.
- Less damage to tissue and muscle
- Less pain
- Less scarring
- Less blood loss
- Shorter stay in the hospital
- Faster return to normal activities
- Elimination of the use of a cardiopulmonary bypass (heart-lung) machine, in some cases. By avoiding the bypass machine, patients are not exposed to the extra risks associated with bypass, such as clots.
