Collection of photographs of my favourite places on the Isle of Skye (Scotland), visited over past three years. It's a journey, that begins with Duirinish in the north west corner, then follows to Trotternish on the east and moving south to Minginish (home of the Cuillin), Strath and to Sleat.
I spend most of my time behind the stove, but when off, I'm out there walking and taking pictures.

"Top Ten in Ten" is a 10-part blog series on the top 10 players, by importance, for LSU's 2014 season. We'll have a player each weekday, counting down to the No. 1 player on Aug. 4, when LSU begins fall camp.
- No. 5: Christian LaCouture
- Year, position: Sophomore, defensive tackle
- Height, weight: 6-5, 298
Looking back
LaCouture seemed to be No. 3, behind Anthony Johnson and Ego Ferguson, in the defensive tackle rotation last season. He finished the year with 13 tackles, third among defensive tackles, and had a sack. A four-star prospect, LaCouture was ranked as the No. 14 strongside defensive end recruit in the country in 2013 by both 247sports and Scout.com. He decommitted from Nebraska, ultimately choosing the Tigers over the Cornhuskers, his in-state and hometown school.
Looking forward
Coaches appear to be high on LaCouture. He's expected to win one of the tackle jobs, though redshirt freshmen Maquedius Bain and Frank Herron will be fighting behind him for playing time. LaCouture is likely to see the most snaps of any defensive tackle – maybe any defensive lineman.
Number To Know
2 – LaCouture's ranking among 2013 prospects from Nebraska

Nov. 30, 2007
LOS ANGELES - Forward Danesha Adams headed in a corner kick in fourth minute of double-overtime on Friday, sending the top-seeded UCLA women's soccer team to a thrilling 3-2 victory over second-seeded Portland on a rain-soaked evening at Drake Stadium. With the win, the Bruins (20-1-2) advance to their fifth straight NCAA College Cup and will face second-seeded USC on Friday at 4:00 p.m. (PST) in College Station, Texas. The other match that day pits Florida State against Notre Dame at 2:00 p.m. (PST).
"To get that goal at the end was an amazing feeling," said Adams, who tied the UCLA career record for game-winning goals with her 25th. "It's my senior year and I don't want to go home. I don't want this to ever end. I want to always wear this UCLA Bruin jersey."
The official time of Adams' goal was 103:58. The Bruins were awarded a corner kick on the right side and freshman Lauren Barnes went over to take it. She curled a ball towards the goal and Adams out-jumped the pack and buried it into the top of the net past Portland goalkeeper Kelsey Davis.
"It was a great service in and I just went up and said `you know what, I'm going to finish this right now,'" added Adams. "I just went up for it. Kelsey had a great game, but it was our time".
UCLA, which was up 2-1 with just minutes to play in regulation, would've won the match in normal time had it not been for a Portland (18-4) corner kick that resulted in a loose ball in the box. UCLA failed to clear it and Pilot midfielder Angie Woznuk was able to hit it in with the outside of her foot, tying the match in the 89th minute.
"Giving up that goal feels gut-wrenching," said head coach Jillian Ellis. "But to come back, that's the greatest lesson for these guys at this point. They showed that they can bounce back. I told them before the overtime period, that we just controlled the second half of the game and now we have to finish it. This was tremendous."
Portland struck first on Friday, as Michelle Enyeart's goal in the 35th minute gave the Pilots an early 1-0 lead. Jessica Tsao sent a ball into the box, drawing out UCLA goalkeeper Valerie Henderson. Due to the wet field conditions the ball skidded by, creating an empty net opportunity for Enyeart, who finished it from seven yards out.
The Bruins answered back in the 51st minute on Adams' first goal of the match, as she dribbled a ball through four Portland defenders before unleashing a right-footed shot to the far post. Bruin sophomore Kara Lang, who scored both goals in a 2-1 overtime victory over Portland earlier in the year, then put the Bruins up 2-1 at the 72:20 mark on a close-range header off a ball sent in from Christina DiMartino. Lauren Wilmoth was also credited with an assist on that play.
Game Notes: Friday's 3-2 win marked UCLA's second come-from-behind victory in the postseason, as the Bruins rebounded from an early goal to take a 2-1 win over Virginia in the NCAA Round of 16 ... UCLA joins North Carolina and Massachusetts as the only teams to make five straight appearances in the College Cup ... The Bruins end their home season 14-0, marking the second straight year that UCLA has went undefeated at home (UCLA was 16-0 last season) ... The Bruins extended the nation's longest home unbeaten streak to 41 matches ... UCLA improves to 6-1 in all-time matches against Portland ... It marks the second straight season that UCLA has defeated Portland in the quarterfinals ... The Bruins snapped the Pilots' 11-match winning streak and nine-match shutout streak ... UCLA improved its winning streak to 17 ... Florida State and Notre Dame join UCLA and USC as the other two teams in next week's College Cup.

A gun store owner in Montgomery County, Md. has decided not to sell the new "smart gun" due to protests, death threats and even fear of having his store burned down.
The Washington Post reported co-owner Andrew Raymond of Engage Armament decided Thursday to cancel his plans for selling the smart gun. A clip of the report is shown here –
The protests echoed those against the Oak Tree Gun Club, a Los Angeles area store that offered to sell the smart gun and — like Engage Armament — quickly dropped the idea after opposition mounted. Electronic chips in the Armatix iP1 can communicate with a watch that can be bought separately. Then the gun cannot be fired without the watch.
Engage Armament is located in Rockville at 701 E. Gude Street, Suite 101. The other co-owner is Carlos Rabanales.
More on this gripping story from the Washington Post is shown below. The article also includes videos of the gun and other articles connected to the story.
A dry cleaner closes without notice
A dry cleaning service literally took its customers to the cleaners when they came yesterday to pick up their merchandise and the store was closed.
Max Cleaners, located at 6610 Arlington Blvd. in Falls Church, Va., left customers stranded outside their shop. According to Washington, D.C. news station WJLA7 "The owners of the Max cleaners in Falls Church posted signs that they were no longer taking drop-offs and that they were not responsible for clothing not picked up."
Customers were upset and angry for not being notified. They could view clothing hanging on racks inside the store. There was also policy of paying for items first, then picking them up, which was a double rip-off.
Later another sign was posted where customers could pick up their clothing –
McLean Super Cleaners, with the address:
6263 Old Dominion Dr
McLean, VA
Due to this bad business practice, the Fairfax County consumer branch encourages all customers served at Max Cleaners to file a complaint. A customer also posted a sign on the store window of how they were unjustly treated.

The James J Bell Sr. Hamlet and Memory Care Community opened June 3. This 20-apartment memory care community offers enhanced services for seniors facing memory loss and completes The Villages' continuum of elder care offered on its Greece campus.
"The Villages at Unity has served as a model independent living community for seniors since it opened in 1990," said Don Felter, President of Unity Senior Housing.

Along with comfortable amenities and regularly scheduled life enrichment activities, the community offers enhanced 24-hour staff support and easy access to Unity Health System's health care professionals and services.
The opening of the memory care community is part of a larger four-year expansion project for The Villages at Unity, which will be complete in July. Visit villagesseniorliving.org/expansion.aspx for more information.

Disease Proof
Organic or Not
Now this is perplexing. How could something be called organic—if not all of its ingredients are organic! Yes, the USDA has lost its mind. As part of a new proposal the USDA is willing to allow non-organic ingredients into organic products, and—here's the kicker—they can still be labeled "organic." Unbelievable—right? Diet-Blog is all over it:
2. Grinder-Pederson L, Rasmussen SE, Bugel S, et al. Effect of diets based on foods from conventional versus organic production on intake and excretion of flavonoids and markers of antioxidative defense in humans. J Agric Food Chem 2003;51(19): 5671-5676.
The Organic Consumers Association has been petitioning against a proposal to allow non-organic ingredients to be labeled as organic.Big news, especially if you consider the big difference between organic and non-organic. Dr. Fuhrman talks about it in Is Organic Food Safer:
The USDA proposal is essentially this:
"Nonorganically produced agricultural products may be used as ingredients in or on processed products labeled as "organic" when the product is not commercially available in organic form."That strikes me as being oxymoronic - and with products like hops in the list - I can almost smell some brewer lobbying.
There is another reason to feed our children organic food when possible. Organic food usually has more nutrients than conventional.1 One study performed at the University of California at Davis found that foods grown organically had higher amounts of flavonoids, which have protective effects against both heart disease and cancer. The researchers found flavonoids were more than 50 percent higher in organic corn and strawberries. They theorized that when plants are forced to deal with the stress of insects, they produce more of these compounds, which are beneficial to humans.2 Overall, organic foods taste better, and organic agriculture protects farmers and our environment.1. Worthington V. Nutritional quality of organic versus conventional fruits, vegetables, and grains. J Alt Compl Med 2001;7(2):161-173.

While national security experts interviewed for this article believe that the drone program has effectively combated foreign militants with aims of targeting the U.S., there is still a call for further reformation and more transparency.
The unmanned Predator B drones are being used to help control vast areas of the southern border where it is difficult to set up ground surveillance tactics like border patrol agents and fixed camera towers.
An Act of Congress limiting the president's power to strike Americans won't prevent people like John Yoo from claiming that the president can flout the law, but it will leave no doubt that the president is acting illegally if they do so.

Trying to eat healthy and keep your food budget under control can prove to be a challenge. Dried beans can be used to make many things, and one of the most frugal ways to use dried beans is to make soup.
Pick up Great Northern beans in the supermarket for about $1 per pound and you can make a big pot of soup that will fill up empty tummies. Healthy food never tasted so good! This makes a lot of soup! I recommend cutting the recipe in half and if you like it make a larger batch next time.
Some people like this soup thick, like a stew, some people like it thinner. If you want a thinner soup, use less beans to make the puree and use more whole beans in the soup. Or, you can still split the beans, just use more water to make the puree and more vegetable broth in the soup.
White bean soup recipe
Ingredients for white bean soup:
- 1 pound dried Great Northern beans, cooked according to package directions, drained and cooled
- 8 to 10 cups vegetable broth – make my own from vegetable trimmings
- 2 Tbsp. olive oil
- 1 Tbsp. butter or margarine
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 carrots, peeled and cut into small diced
- 2 ribs celery, cut into small dice
- ½ cup yellow or white onion, finely chopped
How to make white bean soup:
- In a 4 to 6-quart stock pot or Dutch oven melt the butter and heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic, onions, celery and carrots and saute for approximately 1 to 2 minutes until soft.
- In a food processor, add about half the cooked Great Northern beans and just enough vegetable broth or water to get a smooth puree. Set aside.
- Add the remaining cooked Great Northern beans to the pot with the vegetables. Add the vegetable broth one cup at a time to the pot and bring to a boil before adding more vegetable broth.
- Once you have all the vegetable broth added and at a simmer stir in the bean puree Bring to a simmer again and reduce heat to low. Simmer for approximately 20 minutes on low heat.
- Yield 12 to 16 servings

Go out for a chai latte with your local technology soothsayer (or just study your Google Analytics reports) and it's pretty clear that the mobile web is the future.
But let's not call it the mobile web, let's call it the smaller web. And by smaller, I mean a web with less available screen real estate than the desktop.
While the iPhone may have a fully-capable web browser, it still has a relatively small screen. Serving the desktop version of the your website is hardly the best way to deliver your content to iPhone owners.
And don't forget that the iPhone people are the lucky ones. The latest devices — iPhones, iPads, Android phones — have relatively large screens by mobile standards, but these devices are in the hands of a very slim percentage of worldwide mobile users. There are some 3 billion users out there with older phones, or devices with crappy browsers and very small screens.
The point here is that you need something far better than the desktop-optimized version of your website to offer to mobile visitors.
Mobile Solutions
There are three popular ways to approach mobile sites:
- Write good code, but do nothing special for mobile. This works fine if your audience is made up of iPhone, iPad and Android users with nice, high-speed 3G connections. That's about 1 percent of the mobile market, but some sites with an abnormally large number of iPhone users (like an iPhone news site) can get away with it.
- Detect the device in use and serve a separate mobile site. Something like m.flickr.com. While this approach works, it means maintaining a second website, plus constantly updating your device detection scripts as new gadgets come on the scene.
- Build an adaptive site using CSS 3 media queries. Thanks to CSS 3 and the new media query syntax, you can build a site that automatically adapts its layout to fit the screen size of your visitors.
The later approach has received the most attention lately, with many designers moving to fluid grids that reflow content, resize images and nicely smoosh themselves down to fit any screen. Check out Simon Collison's personal site, or designer Jon Hick's website for examples of media queries in action.
Be sure to resize your browser window so you can see the content reflow as the browser width shrinks. That's the gift of media queries — by precisely labeling your CSS, the presentation can be altered dynamically depending on the device's screen width and height. Your content never changes, and neither does your CSS. The page simply adapts.
However, as nice as media queries are, before we dive into the syntax and how it can help, it's important to realize that this approach is not going to magically solve all your mobile design problems.

Safe Routes to School (SRTS) is a federally-funded grant program which enables community leaders, schools and parents across the United States to improve safety and encourage more children, including children with disabilities, to safely walk and bicycle to school.
As an added benefit, SRTS programs are working to reduce traffic congestion and improve health and the environment, making communities more livable for everyone.
SRTS provides funding for infrastructure (sidewalks, pedestrian signals, crosswalks, etc.) and non-infrastructure (promotional items, incentive items, pedestrian and bicycle safety classes, etc.) projects. +
The funding is through a reimbursement program, but does not require any matching funds.
In Louisiana, the Safe Routes to School program is administered as a grant program through the Louisiana Department of Transportation (LaDOTD).
Lafayette Consolidated Government was awarded a Safe Routes to School grant for a project to construct sidewalks in the areas of Woodvale Elementary and L. J. Alleman Middle School.
This SRTS project is currently in the design phase of project development.
As a result of collaboration between Lafayette Consolidated Government, the Lafayette Parish School System (LPSS) and the Lafayette Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), the Lafayette MPO submitted three applications for 2010 Safe Routes to School grants and was awarded grants for all three schools:
These three projects are in the initial stages of project development stage.

One Direction singer Harry Styles wasn't Taylor Swift's prince charming, but he might transform into a charming prince in the movie version of the Broadway musical "Wicked."
According to a March 5 report by Broadway.com, Harry is at the top of the producers' list for the role of Fiyero, a prince who gets turned into the Scarecrow character from "The Wizard of Oz." Fiyero gets romantically involved with Elphaba, the future Wicked Witch of the West. Idina Menzel is probably the most famous star to play Elphaba on Broadway, so it's not surprising that the producers of the "Wicked" movie are considering her younger look-alike for the Elphaba role in the movie. "Glee" actress Lea Michele is reportedly being considered for the part, and it's hard to imagine her turning it down. She and Harry Styles would certainly make a cute couple that would draw big crowds at the box office.
Harry Styles is allegedly wanted for the Fiyero role because the "Wicked" team thinks that he might be the next big thing. "Moviemakers see him as a new Zac Efron and think he would be a perfect casting for a movie musical," a source told The Sun. It wouldn't be the first time a boy band member made the move from singing to starring in movies. 'N Sync star Justin Timberlake landed roles in critically-acclaimed movies like "The Social Network" and "Inside Llewyn Davis" after saying "Bye Bye Bye" to his boy band days, so don't laugh at the idea of a member of One Direction becoming a big movie star.
If Harry needs help preparing for the "Wicked" movie, perhaps fellow pop star Adam Lambert would help him out. Adam once played Fiyero in the L.A. production of "Wicked," and he's praised One Direction's music before. Then again, some Adam Lambert fans might prefer to see the "American Idol" star compete against Harry for the Fiyero movie role. If Lea Michele gets cast as Elphaba, Adam would definitely have an edge – Lea would probably advocate for him since she's already done duets with him on "Glee."
Would you like to see Adam Lambert or Harry Styles as Fiyero?

MEDINA — Brunswick goalkeeper Erin Calhoun stands about 5-foot-3, but the junior played much bigger than that Saturday night.
Facing a barrage of shots from Medina, Calhoun and the Blue Devils made an early goal stand up with a strong defensive performance en route to beating the state-ranked Bees 1-0 at Medina Memorial Stadium.
The plucky Calhoun snagged crosses and shots out of mid-air and dove like she was 6-5 in helping Brunswick (5-1-1) beat its intracounty rival for the first time since 1997.
"It's a really great feeling to beat someone that everyone says you can't and you're not expected to win," she said. "It's a great feeling to say, 'Yeah, we did win.' Now we have the confidence that we can beat anyone."
Calhoun's 12 saves were the difference, but a combined defensive effort was needed to stun Medina (3-1-2), which was ranked sixth in the Division I state poll and 40th in the FAB 50 national rankings. Players like freshman defender Heather Craska thwarted a handful of runs by the Bees, along with a strong midfield defensive performance led by center mid Macey Juguilon that kept the team organized during counterattacks.
With a one-goal lead for three-quarters of the game, Brunswick needed every bit of that defense to come away with the result.
"They played as a team throughout," Blue Devils coach Scott Ward said. "It was not perfect, but we don't need to be perfect. We caught a team that had a little bit of any off-night and we played hard, so it worked out. I'm proud of their effort."
Medina came out in the second half and uncorked eight shot attempts — three coming in the first five minutes — that were stopped or batted away by Calhoun.
The closing minutes saw a pair of restarts in the offensive third after Amy Bobonik created dangerous situations in the box. The last try came with 2:40 left, as Bobonik drew a foul on the right side, resulting in an indirect kick that was saved out of the air by Calhoun.
"Little nervous and a little scary," Calhoun said of the second half. "You just have to keep your head up. You have to trust in your team and believe that you and your team can do it."
Out of the Bees' 13 total shots, 12 were on goal by eight different players, but outside of an early Nicole Bennett shot that was smothered by Calhoun and a Lauren Rafie attempt that deflected off of a Brunswick defender that Calhoun dove to stop, they failed to convert.
"The bottom line is I have to do a better job as coach of this team," Medina coach Doug Coreno said. "We have not played well since the preseason. We're very inconsistent. Our team play isn't there and we're not dangerous at all in the offensive third.
"Credit to Brunswick. They're a talented team and they came in ready to play," he continued. "You could see it from the opening kickoff when they were down in our end 30 seconds into the match taking a shot. Those kids wanted the game tonight and it showed."
Little did the Blue Devils know that it was a goal just 9 minutes into the game would be enough.
With 30:56 left in the opening half, Sam Malleo pushed the ball ahead to the left side of the box to a streaking Nikki Shotzbarger, who connected on her only shot try of the night and found the right corner past goalkeeper Jordan Reynolds (1 save).
"When I scored that, it was like a weight was lifted off," Shotzbarger said. "When Sam trapped it, she's either going to shoot it or try and cross it over, so I just going to get up by the goalie just in case it bounces off her. It went straight to me and I just hit it in."
It was a complete victory that Brunswick has been looking for after a disappointing tie with Normandy earlier in the week and the start of Northeast Ohio Conference River Division play looming Wednesday.
While Ward was pleased with his squad's effort, he knows this is just one step in a long season with plenty more goals left to accomplish.
"We played very hard and I know we very much wanted to win after tying Normandy," Ward said. "We need to take this and keep working hard and know that this is the quality win that we need."
Maddie Sabetta, Ally Villeneuve and Ali Martin scored as Medina's junior varsity team beat Brunswick 3-0. Jessica Radice and Sophie Weidner combined for the clean sheet in goal.

The murder of an actress brings former colleagues back together to solve the murder. DCS James Langton (Ciaran Hinds) was passed over for a promotion. His girlfriend and former co-worker DI Anna Travis (Kelly Reilly) is now up for a promotion and he thinks she had something to do with his promotion being turned down. His team had worked a murder and it somehow got botched. Langton took the blame and now he has a chip on his shoulder and wants to find out who ratted him out.
A young actress is murdered at home and there is little to go on. Langton is brought in over Travis and there is some tension. Langton is looking at everyone and there is much that is not getting done about the murder. He comes in and makes the lot do extra work. He knows if he can get this case solved in quick time he may get that promotion. You see he came up through the ranks unlike everyone else who went to college and are on the fast track to good jobs. His team is having a hard time getting people involved in the actress's life to come forward and give proper testimony.
Her parents were estranged from their daughter and are forthcoming with info. The actress turns out to be a junkie, had illicit affairs, and enjoy the publicity of it all. Her own manager seemed to have been possibly stealing from her. People she lived with weren't to be trusted. The numerous men and their wives wanted her harm in one shape or form. Finally, the possibility of a tell all book was on the table though not written, so some people like maybe her drug dealers and sex partners could have wanted her dead. The team has to muddle through all the gossip to get to the truth of who actually followed through.
Acorn Entertainment once again is bringing one of it's best from across the shore from jolly old England. Once again all you mystery buffs have a great show to entertain you. The release date for the DVD is February 25, 2014.

The most expensive home in the U.S. was sold for $120 million and that sale went down in Greenwich, Connecticut. Copper Beech Farm, named for the many copper beech trees that line the property, was on the market for a short 11 months, reports Forbes on April 16.
Why such a high price for this home? It boasts 50 acres on the Connecticut shore line, which is the only 50-acre waterfront piece of property within 45 minutes of New York City. The property was sold by a real estate firm that is affiliated with Christie's International Real Estate, which is David Ogilvy & Associates. The buyer's name was not disclosed, but it was purchased through an LLC.
When the estate was listed back in May, the asking price was $190 million and the price continued to drop throughout the 11 months until the $120 million price tag enticed a buyer. Realtor.com reports that the Copper Beech Estate was thought of as an "unsellable" property because of the whopping asking price of $120 million.
Built over a century ago in 1896, the house was purchased in 1904 by the daughter of George Lauder, who helped form U.S. Steele with Andrew Carnegie. Harriet Lauder Greenway lived at the Copper Beech Estate for over 75 years.
Over 30 years ago the next owner purchased the house in an off-market deal and lived there until it went up for sale for the third time since it was built. John Rudey, the timber tycoon, is the seller of the property today. This is the first time that the property was ever offered for public sale.
The main house boasts 13,519 square-feet with 12 bedrooms. The bedrooms were designed over a century ago and they include "sleeping porches," which was where the occupants would sleep during the hot, humid and muggy summer months before air conditioning was invented.
Many of the old rambling shore front homes have the sleeping porches so they could take advantage of the cool breeze coming off of Long Island Sound during the summer. Each bedroom has a fireplace, which was needed to equally combat the frigid deep freeze that makes up most of Connecticut's winters.
It was a home that had all the creature comforts for its day and age. The new owner will keep the estate's buildings the way they are, keeping the home intact with all its yesteryear splendor. This includes a three-story foyer at the front entrance, a wine cellar, seven full bathrooms and two half-baths, a wood paneled library and a solarium.

Excerpt from page 28
Irrigation StrategiesFind the Best System for Your GardenDepending on where you live and what you're trying to grow, you might just get lucky and find a vegetable that doesn't require much in the way of water. It sure would be nice if we could just let nature take its course and effortlessly enjoy a nice harvest! However, most of us will need to put some time and energy into watering our crops if we're going to have results to be excited about. In our region - my family lives in Salt Lake City - we get almost no rain during the summer, so irrigation is a pretty hot topic around here.overhead wateringThe simplest form of irrigation is overhead watering, which usually means spraying plants with a hose. This works, but it has a couple of important downsides. For one thing, it wastes a lot of water due to evaporation, overspray, and an inability to really target the places where water is most needed. Additionally, it can encourage disease by allowing too much water to settle on and around the plants. More effective methods use much less water and are better for the overall health of your plants. The two main types of irrigation that you'll likely want to consider for your backyard farming efforts involve soaker hoses and drip lines. The systems are similar in that they'll both save you a ton of time and money, and you'll soon establish an easy routine for watering once you've gotten some experience and seen how the system works.

Happy 5th Birthday, DTrace!
By bmc on Sep 03, 2008
It's hard to believe, but DTrace is five years old today: it was on September 3, 2003 that DTrace integrated into Solaris. DTrace was a project that extended all three of us to our absolute limit as software engineers -- and the 24 hours before integration was then (and remains now) the most harrowing of my career. As it will hopefully remain my most stressful experience as an engineer, the story of that final day merits a retelling...
Our project had been running for nearly two years, but it was not until mid-morning on September 2nd -- the day before we were slated to integrate -- that it was discovered that the DTrace prototype failed to boot on some very old hardware (the UltraSPARC-I, the oldest hardware still supported at that time). Now, "failed to boot" can meet a bunch of different things, but this was about as awful as it gets: a hard hang after the banner message. That is, booting mysteriously stopped making progress soon after control transferred to the kernel -- and one could not break in with the kernel debugger. This is an awful failure mode because with no debugger and no fatal error, one has no place to start other than to start adding print statements -- or start ripping out the code that is the difference between the working system and the busted one. This was a terrifying position to be in less than 24 hours before integration! Strangely, it was only the non-DEBUG variant that failed to boot: the DEBUG version laden with assertions worked fine. Our only lucky break was that we were able to find two machines that exhibited the problem, enabling us to bifurcate our efforts: I starting ripping out DTrace-specific code in one workspace, while Mike started frenetically adding print statements in another...
Meanwhile, while we were scrambling to save our project, Eric was having his first day at Sun. My office door was closed, and with our integration pending and me making frequent (and rapid) trips back and forth to the lab, the message to my coworkers was clear: stay the hell back. Eric was blissfully unaware of these implicit signals, however, and he cheerfully poked his head in my office to say hello (Eric had worked the previous summer in our group as an intern). I can't remember exactly what I said to Eric when he opened my office door, but suffice it to say that the implicit signals were replaced with a very explicit one -- and I remain grateful to this day that Eric didn't quit on the spot...
Back on our problem, Mike -- through process of elimination -- had made the key breakthrough: it wasn't actually an instruction set architecture (ISA) issue, but rather it seemed to be a host bus adapter (HBA) issue. This was an incredibly important discovery: while we had a bevy of architectural changes that could conceivably be invalid on an ancient CPU, we had no such HBA-specific changes -- this was more likely to be something marring the surface of our work rather than cracking its foundation. Mike further observed that running a DEBUG variant of these ancient HBA drivers (esp and fas) would boot on an otherwise non-DEBUG kernel. At that, I remembered that we actually did have some cosmetic changes to these drivers, and on carefully reviewing the diffs, we found a deadly problem: in folding some old tracing code under a DEBUG-only #define, a critical line (the one that actually initiates the I/O) became compiled in only when DEBUG was defined. We hadn't seen this until now because these drivers were only used on ancient machines -- machines on which we had never tested non-DEBUG. We fixed the problem, and all of our machines booted DEBUG and non-DEBUG -- and we felt like we were breathing again for the first time in the more than six hours that we had been working on the problem. (Here is the mail that I sent out explaining the problem.)
To celebrate DTrace's birthday beyond just recounting the terror of its integration, I wanted to make a couple of documents public that we have not previously shared:
- The primordial presentation on DTrace, developed in late 1999. Some of the core ideas are present here (in particular, production instrumentation and zero disabled probe effect), but we hadn't yet figured out some very basic notions -- like that we needed our own language.
- Our first real internal presentation on DTrace, presented March 12, 2002 as a Kernel Technical Discussion. Here the thinking is much better fleshed out around kernel-level instrumentation -- and a prototype existed and was demonstrated. But a key direction for the technology -- the ability to instrument user-level generally and in semantically relevant ways in particular -- was still to come when Adam joined the team shortly after this presentation. (A video of this presentation also exists; in the unlikely event that anyone wants to actually relive three hours of largely outmoded thinking, I'll find a way to make it available.)
- The e-mail we sent out after integration, September 3, 2003 -- five years ago today.
We said it then, and it's even truer today: it's been quite a ride. Happy 5th Birthday, DTrace -- and thanks again to everyone in the DTrace community for making it what it has become!

So far I have built a robot which is able to drive around and follow lines perfectly, but as soon as I try to add Bluetooth Communication I get the following error message when I try to link the class file:
Class java.io.FilterInputStream (file java/io/FilterInputStream.class) not found in CLASSPATH .:/Users/jendrik/Documents/Workspace/lejos_nxj/3rdparty/lib/bcel-5.1.jar:/Users/jendrik/Documents/Workspace/lejos_nxj/3rdparty/lib/commons-cli-1.0.jar:/Users/jendrik/Documents/Workspace/lejos_nxj/lib/jtools.jar:/Users/jendrik/Documents/Workspace/lejos_nxj/lib/classes.jar
More precisely this happens as soon as I import java.io.DataInputStream and java.io.DataOutputStream.
Thanks for your help,

The ultimate oddball admission – I never dieted during 25 years of carrying the extra weight
Saturday, January 12, 2013
Not once from age 35 to 61 was I ever tempted by diet plans or programs or pills.
I just accepted it as normal. I was getting older, my metabolism was slowing down and hormones were to blame. I didn't need to diet. This is what I would be in middle age. It was inevitable. Just maybe the "small" frame that I had during my college days was really a "large" frame after all. That would account for the extra weight, right?
Fortunately, my weight gain leveled off at 25 pounds, probably because I was always active and my drink of choice was water.
However, it was that very good fortune that made the 25 lbs permanent. I was already doing the EASY stuff. – moving more and giving up sugary drinks. So the pounds stayed put – mostly on my hips and thighs.
My body image was fine. I never compared myself to movie stars or models, but to the real people around me. I made peace with my pear shaped body a long time ago. I may have been gaining weight, but my family, friends and colleagues were gaining more. Besides I was still wearing a size 10 just like back in high school. Unfortunately, it wasn't the same size 10. Because of sizing creep of the fashion industry and forgiving fabrics, I could gain 25 lbs and stay the same size even though each of my measurements had expanded significantly.
I was fit and healthy and the feedback I was getting was that I was fine. I was told by everyone that I could "carry it" – the extra weight that is. In the era of "The Biggest Loser" why be concerned with a measly 25 pounds?
My 'aha' moment was caused by a different kind of vanity. My 5K times were getting progressively slower. I might have accepted growing hips, but not slower running times. Here I would put up a fight. That was my line in the sand. Enter tracking, portion control and SP. The rest is history.
The stories I've learned here are amazing and inspirational. You've made me aware that losing the weight isn't the end of the journey. If I hadn't been warned, I may have just gained the weight back and my first experience would have ended badly. I've learned here from your personal stories that regaining is a definite possibility and we must continue to be vigilant.
I credit SP and the teams I joined with giving me the tools and support to maintain for 3 years. Thank you all for accepting this oddball. I know my story isn't typical, but the "new me" wouldn't have been possible without you.
Looking back now, how could I have deluded myself for so long? Is anyone else here in in that category - a "first timer" or am I truly a minority of one?

while i did try to lose weight, it was never through diet - it was exercise every time. we worked at a healthy diet as an end in itself. the yoyo effect of weight gain/loss for me was dependent on exercise - under 20 miles/week, gain weight; over 30, lose weight. i had the same clothing size creep, and probably some weight creep due to wine creep.
tracking certainly helped - seeing that all those healthy foods we ate still added up to CALORIES made a difference, and wine creep. had to get control of that. now, it's the feeling of having made it - i'm not going to lose that feeling!

Maybe you weren't really carrying THAT much extra weight? Whatever, it's a really good thing you're here now.
I've never NOT struggled with my weight, so perhaps I just described myself--that I don't really carry that much extra. But at one point I was close to 200 lbs, so I guess I can go overboard if I let myself.

Well, thanks for pointing out that I might be an oddball because your first few paragraphs describe me perfectly.
The only difference was that my 'aha' moment came when my cholesterol tested higher than I was comfortable with. When I read that eating healthier and exercising would help lower it, I proceeded to do just that. I never thought of it in terms of dieting, and actually did not find it all that difficult to lose 30 pounds.
And I discovered that I liked running. I am oh so thankful for that.
Truthfully, I've always been odd.

I certainly shared the very same delusion at 230 pounds size 18-20 that it was "normal" to put on weight and that it "didnt' really matter" and that all serious committed "professional" type women were focused on goals way more important than looking good.
Delusional indeed. Fact is, it's hard to sustain credibility as a self-disciplined "professoinal" woman (whatever that is) when the elephant in the room is (pretty literally). . . not so self-disciplined about eating!!

It might be that you never dieted that your weight only went up twenty-five pounds. I walk a lot, bike some. I've always been active. I was called fat so much that I gave up on dieting by the time I started college. I never got more than fifteen, maybe temporarily twenty pounds, overweight. I was actually thinner for many years after my babies.
There are many studies that show yo-yo dieting causes weight gain. If one never diets or does so less frequently, they aren't as likely to gain as much over the years. I gained only ten pounds over the years. Recently, I lost twenty due to mostly stress and watching what I eat. I've dieted over the years, but I never lost more than fifteen pounds at a time until lately. Then, I didn't have much more than fifteen pounds to lose. Most times that I tried to diet over the years it didn't work. I lost no more than five pounds and gave up in a few weeks.

Good for you for staying active enough to keep your weight creep down to 25 pounds. I also felt it was my "destiny" to gain weight as I aged, since my family was fat. However, I deluded myself by saying, "I walk a lot," when in fact I had decreased my activity to almost nothing except yoga and ST (no cardio). That's when the pounds really piled on, and the more weight I gained, the less active I became. I also credit SP with showing me just how little I was doing and giving me the tools and metrics to help me find the right balance for me.

I can't imagine not trying for a "miracle" weight loss plan in the time I was heavy. That wake up call is so different for everyone. I'm glad you heard yours the first time, and paid attention. It's that acceptance and attention that keeps you at goal.

Your story isn't typical - I think most of us have tried many different programs. But good for you for finding the incentive to lose the weight and then doing it! I don't think any of us could say we've only been on one "diet" in our life - that is really fantastic!!

Targa, Mali and little Chuck are now residing at Asian Elephant Preserve
Syracuse, NY (November 10, 2011) - The Rosamond Gifford Zoo announced today that the three elephants temporarily residing at Canada's African Lion Safari have returned to Syracuse.
"Targa, Mali and little Chuck have safely returned to their home here at the Rosamond Gifford Zoo," said Zoo Director Ted Fox. "We are so thankful to our Canadian colleagues for taking such good care of them over the past five years and look forward to reuniting the herd in the near future."
"This is an exciting time to be at the zoo," said Janet Agostini, president of Friends of the Zoo. "We are so grateful to members of the community who took part in our 'Buy a Mile' campaign, which raised $8,650 to help bring the elephants home."

Here's what happened.
The Battle of Kennesaw Mountain on June 27, 1864 was an important episode in the Atlanta Campaign during the USA's Civil War. It ended with the heroic evacuation of Cheatham Hill.
Here's why it matters.
After victory in Chattanooga, Union forces commanded by General William Tecumseh Sherman marched into Georgia with the goals of capturing Atlanta and Savannah. Sherman maintained a strategic advantage against the Confederate forces under General Joseph Eggleston Johnston by outflanking them and forcing them farther south. Sherman also gained a brief morale advantage after his cannons killed a beloved Confederate general, Leonidas Polk.
But on June 27, Sherman abandoned the flanking approaches. He ordered heavy cannon bombardment of Confederate entrenched positions and then direct infantry assaults on them at Pigeon Hill and Cheatham Hill.
The scene was tragically reminiscent of Pickett's Charge at Gettysburg, except on hilly ground. But this time, it was Union troops retreating with enormous casualties. Confederate rifles actually set trees on Cheatham Hill ablaze. Sources like this one report that Lieutenant Colonel William H. Martin from Arkansas ordered fighting to stop. For a brief period, Blue and Gray worked together to move wounded soldiers down the hill so they wouldn't be burned alive.
Here's an interesting fact!
Sherman returned to his flanking strategy. Ultimately, Atlanta and Savannah fell. Johnston surrendered to Sherman in North Carolina on April 26, 1965. Perhaps Sherman was remembering the incident at Cheatham Hill when he offered Johnston's vanquished troops ten days' worth of rations.

TC TO JANE WILSON; 3 February 1837; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18370203-TC-JWI-01; CL 9:137-138.
Chelsea, Friday Night [?3 February 1837]—
My dear Miss Wilson,
You are infinitely kind to take so much trouble about these Lectures that are to be,—or not to be. I am so beset, night and day, with Printers and Proofsheets, that the whole Business has got, as it were, overlaid, and lies quite quiet in the background.
It is clear to me however that I cannot solicit any Note to Mr Faraday,1 nor present one if I had it; nor indeed solicit at all in this stage of the business. Do not call me indolent; do not call me proud or unreasonable: I trust in Heaven it is not that. But my heart is sore and sick; and has to consider what things it can undertake to do; what things it will be easier to endure the penalty of not doing than to do.
I hope to learn by and by, in the way of free communication with somebody or other, what are the real conditions of the thing: this once done, I shall very speedily decide, and very speedily give you warnin[g] and solicit (at that stage) of you, and those that are worthy like you.
Mr Wilson promised me some volumes of the Annual Register; for which the Bearer2 of this will undertake,—if I may rouse him from dinner for such a purpose. The volumes from 1780 to 1790 are the ones wanted; and these not for long.
I hope to get you a complete copy of th[e] Necklace, one of these days, and to call with it.
My wife is still very sickly, tho' the mai[n] brunt of the Influenza has passed. She has only crossed the threshold once, and not in this bitter North-East weather. For my share, I am determined that the influenza shall be feminine.3 I content myself with a little coughing and sneezing.
Yours always sincerely /
T. Carlyle.

Sterling College Education Graduates Underwood '08 and Harrison '07 Win KSDE's Horizon Award
For the second year in a row, two Sterling College education graduates have received the Horizon Award, given by the Kansas State Department of Education to recognize exemplary first-year educators. Alex Underwood '08, a music teacher at Russell High School, and Taylor Harrison '07, a physical education teacher at Valley Center Middle School, are the fourth and fifth Sterling College graduates to receive the Horizon Award, a prestigious honor that is given to only 31 first-year teachers each spring.
Interim Kansas Commissioner of Education Diane DeBacker said of this year's Horizon Award winners: "These first-year educators have shown themselves to be tireless advocates for Kansas students. They are truly making a difference in classrooms across the state." This is high praise, but Underwood and Harrison's college professors are not surprised at their winning such an honor. "Alex is a wonderful example of the Sterling Spirit. I'm sure he is an excellent teacher and a wonderful mentor for his students," said Diane DeFranco-Kling, senior associate professor in the Sterling College theatre department.
Associate Professor of Exercise Science Mary Ver Steeg said of Harrison, "I'm not surprised. The moment she stepped in front of a classroom her personality and her focus just came out, came alive. She really has a heart for kids."
The two young teachers are open about their passion for teaching. "I love working with my students and challenging them to become better musicians, students and people," said Underwood. "My goals for my students may seem lofty and far-fetched, but I think these things are incredibly important. I work practically toward these goals every single day."
Harrison even loves the ups and downs of teaching middle schoolers. "Every day is a new adventure. It definitely never gets boring."
Harrison "decided to become a teacher because two of my high school teachers helped me through a very difficult time of my life. From that I felt the desire to work with youth, and education felt like the right answer." Underwood felt the call of the subject matter first. "I wanted to conduct choirs, and most choir conductors are in the education field. Little did I know I would fall in love with teaching, not 'just' conducting choirs."
Both teachers credit their college professors for preparing them for both the academic and emotional challenges of teaching. "Sterling College not only helped me become an educator, it prepared me for obstacles that might arise during my first year of teaching," said Harrison. "SC helped me be confident in my own skills as a teacher."
"With tons of experience and knowledge, each of the education professors modeled good teaching in their classrooms," added Underwood. "I could go on and on about how much respect I have for these people and how much they taught me in my four years at Sterling."
In much the same way, the College's education professors like to brag on their students. "We take pride in the accomplishments of our graduates," said Dr. Gladys Ritterhouse, chair of the Sterling Teacher Education Program (STEP). "These STEP graduates successfully combine pedagogy and content to provide successful classroom experiences for their students. They model the servant leadership and concern for each student's achievement that is at the core of excellent teaching."
Dr. Ritterhouse is not just speaking of Underwood and Harrison. In the eight years the Horizon Awards have being given, three other Sterling graduates have received the honor. The first recipient, Sarah (Koehn)Tucker '03, teaches theatre in the Andover School District, and Professor DeFranco-Kling has high praise for her: "I have had the privilege of visiting her classroom. She is loved and respected by her students, and her theatre productions have a reputation for quality. Her students are blessed to have such a capable and experienced person leading them into the future."
Last year two other Sterling graduates, Andrew Wesner '07 and Maeghan Bishop '07, were named as Horizon Award winners. When this year's Horizon winners were announced, Bishop wrote, "I want to congratulate the STEP department on two more Horizon awards! I know that individual teachers work hard for such recognition, but every one of your graduates owes a great deal to the excellent training and enthusiasm we received as part of our education."
These teachers are the product of excellent training in both education and their subject matter: of the five Horizon winners, two teach theatre; one teaches music; one math; and one physical education. There are also other SC graduates who are receiving less well-known honors, such as Jennifer Branscum '04, who received the December 2009 Good Apple Award, chosen by the Wichita USD 259 principals. Branscum is a special education teacher specializing in autism.
Taylor Harrison, one of this year's Horizon Award teachers, said, "I want to continue to grow and learn as an educator so I can provide the best learning environment for each of my students." It seems she is not alone among STEP graduates in this attitude.
And for that, the Sterling Teacher Education Program is truly proud.

When MTV News spoke to Diplo way back in March, he told us that [artist id="1803648″]M.I.A.[/artist]'s new album was going to be "heavy" and "weird." Turns out, he also thinks it's "a turd."
That's according to Dip himself, who was asked by a fan via Twitter on Wednesday about why, at the end of the track "Tell Me Why" "does it sound like a toilet just flushed …?"
"Cuz rest of [the] album is a turd," he tweeted back.
Of course, his response quickly made the rounds on the Internet, ending up on seemingly disparate sites like Oh No They Didn't and Pitchfork. Diplo then spent the rest of the day tweeting that the sites in question were "trippin'." "I think when there are no Wavves vs. Crystal Castles 12″s or open [letters] from Conor Oberst and Gucci Mane, @pitchforkmedia has 2 reach a lil 4 news."
But whether or not he was just kidding around when he called M.I.A.'s /\/\/\Y/\ a "turd," Diplo has had a rather interesting relationship with the album. Last month, he tweeted that his own "3 trax are slammin'" but that the rest of the record — which was produced mainly by Rusko, Blaqstarr and Switch — "sounds like Skinny Puppy and gives me nightmares." He also added a pair of sad-face emoticons to further illustrate his point.
And back in May, in the now-infamous New York Times Magazine feature on M.I.A. , he told reporter Lynn Hirschberg that "for me, making this record wasn't easy. In the past, we were a team. But Maya wanted to show us how much she didn't need us. In the end, Maya is postmodern; she can't really make music or art that well, but she's better than anyone at putting crazy ideas into motion. She knows how to manipulate, how to withhold, how to get what she wants."
A rep for Diplo had not responded to an MTV News e-mail requesting comment at press time.
What do you think of M.I.A.'s album? Share your reviews in the comments.

[…] Bacon. […]
I like bacon. I just had some for breakfast and wanted to find out how all those slices got laid out so neatly in the package. I didn't learn that but I did learn how bacon is made in the modern world.
I have to eat to survive. Some of what I eat is animal matter and some of it is plant matter. In the end something is going to die so that I can live. I am OK with that.
