ESCANABA — Exceptional defense and pitching can take you a long way in a state tournament. So far, it's really helped out the Cheboygan Minor Girls All-Star team, who claimed a 6-0 shutout win over Taylor Northwest on Monday, and a 7-4 victory over Negaunee on Saturday, moving to 2-0 in their state softball tournament played in Escanaba. With rain postponing games on Friday and Sunday, the state tournament has now been moved to a single elimination format following the conclusion of Monday's games. Cheboygan, who is one of eight teams remaning in the state tournament, will face Hillman at noon today, with the winner advancing to the state semifinals on Wednesday. "As it stands, we're one of the eight best teams in the state, and that's a huge accomplishment for a small town like Cheboygan," Cheboygan manager Ron White said following Monday's victory. "We've had great support from parents and fans who traveled to watch, and these girls have played some very good ball." Along with a stingy defense, which hasn't committed an error in two games, Cheboygan was led on Monday by pitcher Morgan Brandau, who struck out 12 Taylor Northwest batters and walked just one to earn the victory on the mound. "I honestly feel that they (Taylor Northwest) thought they were going to come into this game and beat us," White added. "Our pitching from Morgan was great, and our defense was tenacious, helping her out. With both of those combinations, we kind've knew our bats would come around, and they did." "We really beat a very talented team today." Cheboygan's offense was strong, scoring two runs each in the first, third and fourth innings to give them a commanding 6-0 advantage. Chloe Socha went 2-for-3 and knocked in run to lead the Cheboygan offense, while Morgan Brandau had a hit and two RBIs, and Angie Swiderek (two walks), Myia White and Jacqueline DeMeuse each added a hit and an RBI apiece. Eva Stone, Bria Bourgeouis and Jamie Lee each tallied a hit to round out Cheboygan's offensive attack. In Cheboygan's victory over Negaunee on Saturday, the team was led by two hits and two RBIs each from Swiderek and Socha, with White also adding two hits, and Cate Brandau (RBI), DeMeuse (RBI), Lee (RBI), Jaden Brandau and Stone all notching a hit apiece. After falling down 2-0 early, Cheboygan responded with three runs to take a 3-2 advantage in the third inning. Cheboygan, added three more runs in the fourth inning to go up 6-2, took a 7-2 lead into the final inning. "We really had big third and fourth innings. Our bats really started to come around," White said. After Morgan Brandau tossed the first inning, Angie Swiderek pitched the second, third, fourth and fifth innings, surrendering no runs and earning the victory. Morgan Brandau pitched the final inning, helping Cheboygan get the final three outs to win the game. "It was hands down our best defensive performance of the year," White said of his team's play. "They were making plays, they were making huge catches in the outfield, they were doing everything. Overall, it was a phenomenal effort by our entire team."

The use of gateway proxies is one important approach to facilitating adaptation across wireless and mobile environments. Importantly, augmented service entities deployed within the gateway proxy residing on the wired network can be composed and deployed to shield mobile clients from the effects of poor network characteristics. The usual approach to the static composition of service entities on the gateway proxy is to have these service entities interact with each other by explicitly invoking procedures on the named interface, but such a tight coupling of interfaces inhibits the flexible composition and adaptation of the service entities to the dynamic operating characteristics of wireless networks. In this paper, we present a mobile gateway for the active deployment of transport entities or, for short, MobiGATE (pronounced Mobi-Gate). MobiGATE is a mobile middleware framework that supports the robust and flexible composition of transport entities, known as streamlets. The flow of data traffic is subjected to processing by a chain of streamlets. Each streamlet encapsulates a service entity that adapts the flow of traffic across the wireless network. To facilitate the dynamic reconfiguration of the streamlets, we advocate applying the concept of coordination as the unifying approach to composing these transport service entities. Importantly, MobiGATE delineates a clear separation of interdependent parts from the service-specific computational codes of those service entities. It does this by using a separate coordination language, called MobiGATE coordination language (MCL), to describe the coordination among streamlet service entities. The complete design, implementation, and evaluation of the MobiGATE system are presented in this paper. Initial experimental results validate the flexibility of the coordination approach in promoting separation-of-concern in the reconfiguration of services, while achieving low computation and delay overheads.

Personal life[edit]
She was born Sheila Anne Syme Gash in Lincoln, Lincolnshire, studied at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, and made her stage debut with a repertory company. She had two daughters: the actresses Kay (Katharine Ghislaine S. A.) Curram and Lou Gish (1967–2006) by her first husband, the actor Roland Curram. While filming That Uncertain Feeling for BBC2 in 1985, she met actor Denis Lawson, who was to become her second husband.
Her first starring role in the West End was as Bella in Robert and Elizabeth. She continued to be best known for her stage work. In 1996, Gish played the role of Joanne in Stephen Sondheim's Company at the Donmar Warehouse directed by Sam Mendes. Gish received the Olivier Award for Best Supporting Role in a Musical for her performance.[2] In 1999 she played Miss Venable in Tennessee Williams's Suddenly Last Summer, directed by Sean Mathias with Rachel Weisz at the Comedy Theatre, London. One of her last stage roles was as Arkadina in the Chichester Festival Theatre's production of The Seagull in 2003.[3]
Gish also appeared in many television dramas, from The First Churchills (in which she played Mary of Modena) to the successful adaptation of Love in a Cold Climate (2001) in which she played the eccentric and outrageous Lady Montdore. She also appeared in an episode of The Sweeney in 1975 as June Boyse, a villain's wife.
Gish occasionally appeared in films, her most notable performances being in A Day in the Death of Joe Egg (1972), Hitler: The Last Ten Days (1973), the Merchant-Ivory film Quartet (1981), Merisairas (1996), and as Mrs Norris in Jane Austen's Mansfield Park (1999). She is also known for her appearance as Rachel Ellenstein in the 1986 film Highlander and its 2000 sequel Highlander: Endgame.
In 2003 she lost her right eye to skin cancer.[3][4] She died of cancer in 2005 in Camden, London.[5]
Her final performance was for BBC Radio. She is Scottish actor Ewan McGregor's aunt through her marriage to Lawson, his uncle.
Her daughter, Lou, also died of cancer less than a year after her mother.

We recently started a couple small blogs for a client and installed a couple of plugins. Our tech guy seems to think WP Super Chache is the issue here. This file is all over the page: Warning: session_start(): open(D:\Temp\php\sess_5qpuklv0tfd3u3qhetil3s5qb4, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2) in D:\home\tenayatics.com\wwwroot\wp-content\themes\modularity\functions\admin-js.php on line 3
We changed the theme and it disappeared. Does this mean it's in the theme file? Anyone know a fix for this?
Thanks so much for your time.

Thurs 3/3: Ethan arrived from Utah.
Friday 3/4: Here we are on the plane ready to start our 6 1/2 hour trip.
Saturday 5 March 2011: Arrival in London at the Allen House. You can see Ethan waving in one of the topmost four windows.
Here we are in London after a nap and sorting ourselves away with the flat, etc. Saturday 3/5: We ride in the top of a doubledecker bus. This is one of the "Routemasters," an older bus they keep running for historical purposes.
We saw these cakes on display as we passed by... wow!
Our Routemaster bus, route 9.
The London Eye near Westminster Bridge.
We listened to Big Ben chime 1 PM, a magical sound.
An interesting shot of the London Eye.
Ethan was not terribly impressed with the skate park on the Thames Embankment.
A shot of St. Paul's seen through the trees at Tate Modern.
At Trafalgar Square - the National Gallery. We visited the Portrait Gallery next door.
In Trafalgar Square. A Million Women Rise - To Make Me Dinner!
Yeah, we're here. Check out the daffodils!
London has really cool heraldic insignia. This was on the Tower Bridge.
On the Millennium Bridge to St. Paul's Cathedral.
A must-have photo-op.
We walked around the Tower of London; we'll visit later this week.
I'm pointing out something or another.
I saw a scene in a movie taken from this precise spot, Boudicca statue in the foreground, Big Ben in the distance...
Some street art seen across from the Parliament Building protesting war.
In the Underground.
My Churchillian facial expression.
10 Downing Street is well guarded. From TV you'd think you could walk right up to it. No, you can't.
Charing Cross.
Millennial Bridge.
Congestion at Piccadilly Circus.
Sunday 6 March - we began with a visit to the Tower of London. Outside by the Roman Wall near the Tower.
Roman London Wall plaque.
Sunday 6 March - we spent five hours in the Tower of London... it was very cool. Ethan and a Yeoman Warder ("Beefeater").
This fellow is the Yeoman Warder who talked to us; he was the best of the three I've heard so far. Very animated.
Stupid and inappropriate display of armor in the White Tower. The background changed colors. It looked like a nightclub. Boo, hiss.
More of the ridiculous display within the White Tower. The Beefeater encouraged me to write a letter of complaint. (They hate this display as well.) I think I will.
Update: I did. http://wesclark.com/temp/tower_letter.html
Ethan and a very big sword.
The Norman Chapel within the White Tower.
Henry VI's (restored) chapel.
Poor Henry VI. The founder of Eton College was supposedly beaten to death here.
Henry VI chapel plaque.
Plaque under the staircase describing where the bones of the princes in the Tower was found.
Wooden horse display.
A board game within Edward I's Royal Palace above the Traitor's Gate.
A restroom in the Tower of London won "Loo of the Year!"
Tower Raven. Note clipped wings. The story is that England is safe as long as there are ravens in the Tower. With clipped wings, they aren't going anywhere.
Ethan and the White Tower.
A prisoner's hand seen in a chamber.
Store window display... this is supposed to be King Arthur. Looks like Joan of Arc.
After we left the Tower we stopped to get treats at a KFC. If you see these "malts/shakes" in the U.S., don't bother. They taste like they were blended out of water with bits of malted milk balls therein.
Later on Sunday we went to Tate Modern since it had a 6 PM closing time. (A lot of my logistical decisions are based on closing times.) Cool shot of Millennial Bridge seen from Tate Modern. In fact, this was by far the best thing I saw within the premises.
I maintain that most avant-garde modern art works better as a background for photographic portraits than as art. In Tate Modern.
Exhibit B.
Eros in Piccadilly Circus.
With the Thames at low tide, Ethan and I went out to look for clay pipe fragments. We didn't find any. Found lots of plastic trash, however.
These annoying Eastern European women kept blocking our way to things in the Tower... and they showed up in a store in Piccadilly Circus.
If you stay out late enough, this is what you see along HIgh Street, Kensington: the trash.
Monday 7 March was really awesome. We took the tube (this photo - we were halted for about 30 minutes!) to Battersea Power Station for a photo-op, did Tate Britain, took the Tate Boat up the Thames to Tate Modern and crossed the Millennial bridge to the area in front of the Royal Exchange, where we ate a Pret a Manger lunch, visited the Bank of England Museum, then visited St. Paul's, climbed the dome, checked out the cathedral and the crypt, and finished the day by checking out the Blitz Experience and the 1940's House at the Imperial War College. Even by my usual standards for effective tourism logistics, today stood out!
World's smallest Mercedes-Benz, seen on the way to Battersea.
The Battersea Power Station as seen on the 1977 Pink Floyd Lp "Animals." Ethan wants his picture taken with this in the background. It figures. We fly 3,675 miles across the Atlantic to the home of magnificent museums, impressive castles, mansions and cultural attractions and my kid wants to replicate an album cover. :)
Well, we took the tube to Pimlico and found this iconic building. Happy Ethan.
I often take photos of the odd signs I see in London. "Avoiding steps?"
In Tate Britain... our images were also upside down. You can see a filming going on behind us.
Reach for modern art. Tate Britain.
This guy - an art lover, presumably - was walking around Tate Britain looking at art. He was connected to a computer monitoring his heart rate and being filmed all the while. An odd thing.
As during the last trip to London in 2009, I found another painting used on the Lp cover of a Vaughan-Williams symphony.
One of Francis Bacon's disturbing works seen at Tate Britain.
There can be only one flippant two word caption for this work of art, and Ethan and I came up with it at the same time.
Sheep sealed in formaldehyde by Damien Hirst, an artist Ethan is learning about at school...
Uncle Joe Stalin, everyone's pal.
The Palace of Parliament, seen from the Tate Boat.
On the Tate Boat, past Westminster Bridge.
By the way, the day was sunny. A first for me in London. It was quite nice out... a cracking day for a river trip!
Construction on the Blackfriars' Bridge.
Millennial Bridge, St. Paul's.
Here's where we ate our lunch, in the financial heart of London in front of the Royal Exchange in The City.
The interior of the Exchange building, now a swanky mall.
Plaque about the RE.
Travel across the Atlantic and you'll still encounter Springfield.
Seen in a store window near St. Paul's. This fashionable shirt is only possible because Confederate flags don't have the same connotations in the U.K. as in the U.S.
St. Paul's Dome. We went to the stone walkway and also to the top, the "golden" walkway.
Hanging out of the stone columns to get a shot with the point-and-shoot.
Again with the head out of the columns...
Sometimes the steps got REALLY cramped!
It was a mighty haul up the steps...
Hahahaha! Graffiti all around the walkway... terrible.
What an incredible view...
Here we are atop St. Paul's. What a view! Wesley's Tourist Tip: Forget about the BA Eye, go atop St. Paul's instead (if the "golden" walkway is open). Much better view and less expensive, too. And you can stay as long as you want.
Ethan's own photo.
View of London atop St. Paul's "golden" walkway.
The bookend of the photo I took from the Tate Modern of St. Paul's.
View of 10 Downing Street while aboard the top of a double-decker bus.
Interior of Imperial War Museum. An amazing collection. Best war museum, ever.
A photo for my pal Mike who collects WWII uniforms. The Imperial War Museum is incredible!
Hahaha! There's a photo of his grandfather doing exactly the same thing! And, by the way, this is the actual bronze eagle atop the Reichschancellery. It has bullet holes in it from the Battle of Berlin!
Ethan jumped the barrier into the living room of the 1940's House. (AMERICANS.)
The view we saw leaving the War Museum from atop a double-decker bus... the way to see London.
We had Cornish Pasties for dinner. Here's how they're made. In Cornwall! End of day, a splendid day out!
Harrods at night courtesy of Ethan's iPhone and its high dynamic range (HDR) camera. This thing takes good photos!
Tuesday 8 March 2011: Ever since I was a teenager I've wanted to visit the battlefield site of the battle of Hastings (1066), where William the Norman fought Harold the Saxon for the English crown. So Ethan and I took National Rail 60 miles south to Sussex, the little town of Battle, where Battle Abbey is located on the site. What's the first thing we see in town? This lout in what looks like a Welsh rugby shirt....
Main Street, Battle, England. A nice little city. After William conquered England he erected a chapel, which later became an abbey. The town grew up out of the needs of the monks at the abbey.
Maybe some of the Saxons suffered from post traumatic stress syndrome.
A cool pub sign. The place was closed, out of business.
Ethan was hungry, so we stopped here, at Ye Olde King's Head, for fish and chips. Which king, Harold or William? When I asked the owner he didn't know! Note the LOW door, built in an era (the 16th C.) when guys weren't typically my height.
The low ceiling of the King's Head Pub... they had a fire going in front. It was very nice and cozy. And great food. So... when at Battle, stop here.
Tia the pub dog watched us the entire time; we played fetch.
Note the low ceiling... the front section dates from the 1500's! Our meal was excellent.
The town of Battle from in front of the entrance to the battlefield park.
The attraction entrance, a medieval abbey.
In the visitor's center. Ethan looks a proper Saxon. (The helmet didn't fit me.)
We begin the battlefield walk down the slope from the visitor's center. I cannot account for the cloud of purple around Ethan's head. Sunlight effect? It was a very sunny, nice day.
The Norman attack begins! From an interpretative plaque.
The slope of the battlefield can be seen rising from right, where the Normans started, to the left, where the Saxons had their shield wall.
At one point the word had gone out among the Normans that William had been killed. So he lifted his helm (it's in the Bayeux Tapestry) to prove otherwise.
The abbey wasn't there during the battle, of course. But this shot gives you a Norman's eye perspective.
A shot towards the abbey, again. They say the ponds weren't there during the battle.
...and at the bottom of the hill, where the Normans began their attack. However, there's a bit of a puzzle. History doesn't tell us where Harold fought when he was killed, but the place is marked by a stone in the ground just to the right of that rightmost building peak. So that may or may not have been the center of the Saxon line. Or Harold fought on the Saxon left. We don't know.
As a last trick, the Normans launched arrows at the shield wall. Legend and the Bayeux Tapestry have it that one struck Harold in the eye and killed him. Maybe, maybe not. Scholars argue about it.
My thumb is up on the Saxon side, down on the Norman side - which gives you an idea of which side I prefer. (Actually, my emotions about this battle are complex.)
The slaughter of the Saxons in the final phase of the battle.
The slope as seen from the Saxon's viewpoint. Imagine Norman foot troops, knights and archers, all charging up the hill and badly wanting to kill you. The site mentioned that the slope was heavily terraced and altered by the monks, who farmed here.
Yes, William Victorious.
Here I stand about at the Saxon line, looking out and wondering "What if..."
The daffodils were out!
One curiosity appeared to me... the Hastings Giant. Looks like a guy with a log through his chest. It's an odd combination of trees that formed this...
The layout of the grounds. Note that they shown the terrace and the battlefield to the left of the site where Harold fell ("Presumed site of 11th C. High Altar"). This suggests that Harold fought on the Saxon left. I would think he'd be in the center to try to direct things...
In memory of a reenactor, perhaps?
There were some cellars that we went into, the "undercroft."
In the cafe some interesting quotes were painted on the wall.
Yes indeed. And some Americans.
True, true.
Ha ha! I have this satirical book....
A plaque near the Norman church, which was heavily built upon in subsequent centuries.
Here's the site of the high altar.
I sit on the plaque with my hand over one eye. Get it?
From a plaque in the little museum. Oddly enough, there are all sorts of artifacts from the abbey on display, but no metal pieces dug up from the battlefield. Why not, I wonder...?
Ethan's use of the plaque is a bit more dramatic.
"Fusion." Yeah, right. I think the Saxons would have called it something else.
There is a school on the site of the battlefield.
Students leave class - as seen from the museum.
In the museum.
A really bad portrait of William the Conqueror I've never seen before. What's with the scimitar?
In the gift shop. I bought a post card and that's it. Stuff was too expensive. (And the exchange rate wasn't helping any.)
On the way back to London we passed a rugby field.
I liked this sign. Date from World War II, possibly?
Gahhh! A London Tube ad featuring Iggy Pop.
I once saw this very portrait (by Lorenzo Lotto) in D.C., at the Smithsonian, was impressed by it, and couldn't find it again last October. No wonder. It's now in the National Gallery, where Ethan and I stopped for an hour when we pulled into Charing Cross.
As they closed the National Gallery I took this shot of the Nelson column and Big Ben from the entrance.
Wednesday 9 March 2011: Today was awesome. We went to Westminster Abbey and did a special private prayer to St. Edward the Confessor, who has been dead for nearly 1,000 years, got drizzled upon at Covent Garden while we ate our meat pies, and I cracked a tooth twice. Here we are in the Allen House's lift, which measures 2 1/2 foot square. A bit cramped.
Kept seeing this ad every morning. My Clark Family was originally from Yorkshire. Bearded Northerners!
Saw this weird, throw-back ad in the Tube. Drink this beer and you'll be James Bond? Or a James Bond type? Or a Greek fisherman?
We see this odd little street sign every morning on the way to the High Street Kensington station.
On the Tube, off to another adventure - this time Westminster Abbey.
We couldn't take photos inside - well, not officially - but here's the north entrance.
Inside, I examine Britain's Oldest Door. I think offices are beyond it.
Ethan in the Chapter House.
We saw these William and Kate books everywhere. Do you suppose merchants will be upset if this wedding doesn't happen? (Yes.)
Ethan outside of the Abbey, in a chapel garden.
Afterwards we walked to London's most photographed telephone box. I have a photo of Meredith at this same box.
We walked down The Mall in St. James' Park, where we saw this fellow.
Ethan wanted to visit a Soho art gallery which specialized in the art of Stanley Donwood...
Donwood prints.
More Donwood prints. He does the artwork for Radiohead recordings.
I have never heard a Radiohead recording.
Here I am in front of what seems to be a political Donwood sentiment, having a spiritual moment of some kind. Beyond this door to the left was a little chamber where a projection was going on.
Here's the projector show. Random words, images and noise. There was a comfy chair and a footstool there; I liked it. Nice of Donwood.
We saw this cool neon sign over a pub. I wanted to see it lit.
Charing Cross Station; we also visited the National Gallery again and saw the stuff we didn't see the day before.
Ha ha! The State of Virginia presented a statue of George Washington to Trafalgar Square... it's in front of the National Gallery. You had to surrender an army to him, Brits.
Buckingham Palace. The flag is up, which means that the Queen is therein. In an era of heightened anti-terrorism, this policy seems questionable.
But this Bobby is at the gates to make sure nobody gets in.
The daffodils were out in Green Park.
A cool pub sign... the nicest I've seen yet.
We saw this at a public restroom in Green Park.
Stopped at Soho Square to check it out. I've not seen it yet.
Charles II and a 17th C. little building in Soho Square.
Palm trees? In London? Yes, in Soho Square.
The London sky and some Soho Square trees.
At Covent Garden. We looked for a pasty store that is no longer there, but found a great meat pie place instead and ate outside and got drizzled upon a bit. I liked this toy store sign.
In the toy store... Punch.
Thursday 10 March 2011: Today we visited the Museum of London and the British Museum, shopped around for souvenirs, walked down to Covent Garden, Leicester Square and spent a few minutes looking at the lights on the Victoria Embankment, on the north bank of the Thames.
This photo (London Museum): Well come to your newe thatched home in the Anglo-Saxon settlement of Lundenwic! A spaycious 15 foot square hut awaits you... if you lived here you'd be home by nowe!
The Angles and Saxons didn't want to live in the square mile of Roman London (in red), so it was abandoned and recent excavation has revealed the location of Anglo-Saxon Lundenwic.
Cool mail shirt in the London Museum.
A painting of a dead Charles I - with his head sewn back on!
Ethan liked the little replica Victorian shopping area. Here's the toy shop.
The coolest pendulum clock...
Beatles dress in the modern London section.
Geez... check out the width of this dress. Wide Load.
The Lord Mayor of London's coach.
After the Museum of London we made our way to the British Museum. There's a comedy series on called "Little Britain"; Ethan got a kick out of this street sign.
The British Museum.
Ethan shooting a photo of the famous Rosetta Stone with his cell phone camera.
Did they have wristwatches in ancient Assyrian times?
Small Greek and Roman statuary.
I have seen this medal in nearly every Arthurian history book I've ever read. Explained next photo. Note the "Lon" at the base... that's London. (Well, actually, Roman Londinium.)
Cool, huh?
Ethan regards a death mask of Napoleon. He wanted to know why there wasn't also a mask of Napoleon Dynamite.
Turquoise Mexican Mask. The collection of the British Museum is staggeringly large. You just can't go in the there and see everything - you have to target what it is you want to see. By the end of about three hours I'd walk into a gallery and think, "Oh, no. Not another pre-Roman gallery of Etruscan artifacts!" And I like that sort of thing...
A really funny clock built by Sir William Congreve, the maker of the Congreve Rocket used by the British Army in Napoleonic times. Congreve rockets pretty much landed wherever they wanted to go - including, occasionally, back at the British.
The timing mechanism was a metal ball going down this inclined path, then setting off a balance which shifted it the other way. Daft!
Unreliable timekeeper. I wonder why?
In the Greek armor case. Wow. I have never seen Greek or Roman foot guards before... weird!
Greek helmets are so cool...
We ate at the Battersea Pie Shoppe in Covent Garden. Ethan had a steak and kidney pie. I settled for chicken and bacon with mash (potatoes). It was delicious!
Hahaha! From a show in Covent Garden. This very British looking bunch is supposed to be, from left to right, Sam Philips, Elvis, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and Sam Perkins. If this image said "Trainspotting" under it it would look more accurate.
From a Battle of Britain monument on the Victoria Embankment. Note the cheeky soldier, blowing a kiss to the girl!
A medieval English face at the Museum of London.
A similar Mexican face at the British Museum.
We called it a day and went back to the flat. Whew, were my feet tired!
Our last day in London, Friday 11 March. Ethan consults his iPhone at the Tube station as we start out.
First stop: We walked over to Christoper Wren's Monument (The Monument, as if there were no other), which commemorates the great fire of 1666.
The base of the Monument, showing Charles II directing aid to an exhausted London.
The neat thing about London is that you see some truly ancient grafitti. On the wall inside.
311 steps is a long hike up!
The view is certainly worth the 3 pounds admission!
The gilt fire at the top of the Monument. The structure is the correct height so that if you toppled it, the flame would reach the home in Pudding Lane where the fire began.
Monument and street sign.
Then we went to the banks of the Thames at low tide to look for clay pipes, "mudlarking"; a docent at the British Museum told us where to look - at the base of where London Bridge was anciently, north bank.
Ethan found a couple of bowl sections washed up by the tide. Clay pipes were made pre-stuffed with tobacco and disposable. These can date from anywhere from the 1500's to the 1700's. Guys used to smoke 'em and then pitch them off the bridge into the river. See http://www.thamesdiscovery.org/riverpedia/clay-pipes-from-london
I found a bunch of clay pipe stems and bits of blue and white delft tile.
The next stop on Friday was lunch. At a sandwich shop. In America we Smoke. Pot.
The we visited Guildhall Art Museum, the underground Roman Stadium and the Guildhall itself, a structure from the late 1400's. This is a statue of Gog, a fabled London Giant. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_Guildhall#Gog_and_Magog
On the other side is Magog.
In the Guildhall taking a well-deserved rest. We were on our feet all day.
Outside the Guildhall within the "square mile" that is the City of London.
Waiting for the 15 bus at St. Paul's...
Then we visited the V&A, the Victoria and Albert Museum, which is open until 10 PM on Friday nights. This is a fascinating medieval statue of Jesus on a donkey. I like the expression on His face.
We visted the "plaster court" in the V&A - a collection of amazing plaster cast representations of famous sculptures. Here, Ethan regards the memorial of Richard I, his First Cousin 26 times removed (according to my PC's genealogical software).
I tried on some medieval clothing and replicated the pointy-surprised look of many old illustrations.
Ethan liked the small bronze displays in the V&A.
Interesting shot.
Trajan's column in the plaster court. This thing was enormous; a man's height is about half the height of that base. When I asked about it, one of the docents let us in to look up at the brick structure that the casts were mounted to. Those Victorians were amazing!
For his last evening in London, Ethan wanted fish and chips in a pub, so we ate at the Goat Tavern on High Street. Kensington. There has been a Goat Tavern at that location for more than 300 years!
We had a great meal... Ethan had a giant cod and I a hamburger.
We stopped by the local Tesco to get some breakfast food for the morrow. We saw very very few big fat people in London. Why? They don't eat as much as we Americans do. This was the sum total of the ice cream section of the freezer.
Saturday 12 March was a travel day. As we left Kensington for Heathrow we passed a small horse parade down High Street held in our honor. :)
At Heathrow there was a London Olympics 2012 shop; these are the ill-advised mascots. I forget their names.
From the plane, goodbye Heathrow and London!
7 hours and 25 minutes later, this is the crooked arm of Cape Cod as seen from the south. The island of Nantucket is below it... we're arriving like the Pilgrims from England did. Hello, USA!
Ethan and I had a great week in London!
What follows are some photos Ethan took with the camera on his iPhone, in no chronological order. In the McDonald's where we used the WAN, Ethan arranged some trash to make a face.
Ethan's stealthy photo of the tomb of Elizabeth I. (No photography was allowed in Westminster Abbey.)
That Allen House lift was crowded!
Where the Saxon shield wall was more or less located at the Battle of Hastings site.
At a comic book store in Soho. We used to get a kick out of this particular issue. Why does Batman feel compelled to wear different colored costumes?!?
Pub in Covent Garden and trash guy.
Ethan and Moai in the British Museum.
Another stealthy Westminster Abbey shot, this of the great ceiling of Henry VII's Mary Chapel.
At the gates at Buckingham Palace. I admit that I have bad hair, but this guy's is far worse than mine.
Going up the St. Paul's staircase - a major hike.
Arriving in London after being up nearly all night on the flight. The older I get, the less well I handle jet lag.
From the Victoria Embankment.
In the British Museum. I am doing a pose that Cari did in one of our scrapbook pages.
I really liked this. So much so that I bought a fridge magnet with this sentiment on it.
Seems like a great way to close this photo album, and so I do.

"Wing Commander Guy Gibson. V.C. R.A.F." Steenbergen by australia2
Steenbergen Travel Guide: 0 reviews and 2 photos
Paying my respects at the grave of the leader of the famous 'Dambusters' W.W.II raid. A brave man killed LATER IN THE WAR being a Master Bomber during a raid in a Mosquito. It crashed just outside this town.
His navigator lies in the grave beside him.
I would appreciate contact with any person in the town with direct or indirect knowledge of the sad, fatal crash.
A week or so after this graveside visit I drove to the edge of the Mohne (Dam) See, the site of the first of the three dams which were the overall targets of the operation.
I was there on a lovely autumn Sunday afternoon. The sight of white-sailed, peaceful yachts was so anachronistic with my memory of the film it was impossible to believe.
(N.B. There were a number of Australians in 617 Squadron in that, its first operation. One of them, Flt Lieut Barlow unfortunately was killed on the 'way in'. As stated below, his aircraft hit power lines over Holland. Another was, of course, Sqdn Ldr Mickey Martin (Knighted later) who played a key role in much of 617's then and later contributions. The 'low flying' expert ! Also the young looking, twenty year-old David Shannon. They avoided power lines somehow!)
Please click on the picture for a fuller view.
Having lived not far from me here in Melbourne, suburban Carlton, 32 yr old F/Lt. Robert Norman Barlow was one of the early casualties of the operation when his Lancaster 'E-Easy' hit power lines just over the Dutch border on the way to the dams. All the crew were killed in the crash and explosion. All the huge Lancasters flew unbelievably low to avoid other hazards.
(Please click on the picture to see some details, and visit the website indicated below. I was an eleven year-old Melbourne schoolboy at the time and of course in complete ignorance of the wonderful heroics occurring all over.)

Is TimeSplitters 4 Close to Being Announced?
Written Monday, August 01, 2011 By Richard WalkerView author's profile
That TimeSplitter 4 rumour train rolls on and refuses to stop, as a a small boxout in the UK Official PlayStation Magazine August issue states that Crytek UK may be readying an announcement for the long-awaited, much-anticipated sequel to TimeSplitters: Future Perfect, which released waaaaay back in 2005, sparking yet more speculation that it may not be too far off.
With Crysis 2 long done and dusted, it seems like high time for Crytek to be moving on to TimeSplitters 4, and goodness knows that fans have been screaming out for it long enough. "Gun-wielding monkeys are finally making a comeback! A fourth Timesplitters title is to be announced soon," reads the 'Rumour Machine' section of the latest OPM in what we hope isn't spurious rumour or hype-mongering.
Could a big GamesCom 2011 reveal be on the cards then? We're crossing our fingers, toes and whatever else we can cross on our person in anticipation of the big event in Cologne later this month, hoping for a first look at TimeSplitters 4. Watch this space, folks.

Block truncation coding (BTC) is an efficient compression technique with extremely low computational complexity. However, the blocking and false contour effects are two major deficiencies in BTC which cause severe perceptual artifacts. The former scheme, error-diffused BTC (EDBTC), can significantly improve the above issues through the visual low-pass compensation on the bitmap, which thus widens its possible application market, yet the corresponding security issue may limit its value. In this paper, a method namely complementary hiding EDBTC is developed to cope the above issue. This paper is managed by firstly discussing when a single watermark is embedded, and then multiple watermarks are employed to test the limitation of the proposed scheme. Herein, an adaptive external bias factor is employed to control the watermark embedding, and this factor also affects the image quality and robustness simultaneously. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method only requires an extremely small external bias factor to carry watermarks, which enables a high capacity scenario without significantly damaging image quality.

The Discrete-Time Wavelet Transformation and Audio Coding
This paper discusses the discrete-time wavelet transform from a filterbank perspective and shows how the discrete time wavelet transform can be considered an octave-band tree-structured filterbank. Examples of designs for two-band wavelet filters are given for both a conjugate quadrature mirror filterbank and a linear phase filterbank.

Changes in precipitation patterns and the frequency and duration of drought are likely to be the feature of anthropogenic climate change that will have the most direct and most immediate consequences for human populations. The latest generation of state-of-the-art climate models project future widespread drying in the subtropics. Here, we reconstruct spatially-complete gridded Palmer drought severity index values back to A.D. 1179 over Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia. The reconstructions provide long-term context for northwest African hydroclimatology, revealing large-scale regional droughts prior to the sixteenth century, as well as more heterogeneous patterns in sixteenth, eighteenth, and twentieth century. Over the most recent decades a shift toward dry conditions over the region is observed, which is consistent with general circulation model projections of greenhouse gas forced enhanced regional subtropical drought.

A chibouk (French: chibouque; from the Turkish: çıbık, çubuk (English: "stick") (Bosnian: "Čibuk"); also romanized čopoq, ciunoux or tchibouque)[1] is a very long-stemmed Turkish tobacco pipe, often featuring a clay bowl ornamented with precious stones. The stem of the chibouk generally ranges between 4 and 5 ft. (1.2 and 1.5 m), much longer than even Western churchwarden pipes. While primarily known as a Turkish pipe, the chibouk was once popular in Iran, as well.
Like Chinese opium pipes, chibouk are antiquated smoking devices, and are rarely, if at all produced in modern times. Their use in Turkey and the Middle East may have died out with the growing popularity of the hookah and cigarettes. Old chibouk and chibouk bowls can still be purchased as antiques.
Similar pipes were once used in North Africa to smoke hashish.[2] Some specialized chibouk were produced to act as long, cigarette-holding pipes. Some had detachable mouthpieces.
Enver Pasha was known to have smoked chibouk,[3] as was Jirjis al-Jawhari (Moallem Guerguis Koft), a Coptic Egyptian leader appointed the General Steward of all Egypt by Napoleon in 1798.
The Chibouk Smoker by Théobald Chartran, Turc Au Chibouk by James Lewis Caw, Interieur d'un café Turc by Chevalier Auguste de Henikstein, and Guerrier fumant le Chibouk by Johann Hermann are examples of chibouk featured in art and illustration.

From the earliest days of opera, that combination of all the arts, singers, the prima donna and the primo uomo, heroine and hero, have had extraordinary prominence, dramatic, social and commercial. The present anthology includes examples of the art and charisma of many of the greatest singers of the earlier ages of recording.
"...Given the spread of recording dates, sound quality and characteristics vary, but none is less than satisfactory. This sampler, collection, or whatever, is a serious temptation to wile away a couple of hours listening to all-time-great singers..."

Hot answers tagged ffmpeg
On Linux, you can use sudo killall ffmpeg to kill every process called "ffmpeg" or ps -ef | grep ffmpeg to get the process ids and then sudo kill <PID> to kill each one individually. If they don't die, sudo kill -9 <PID> will terminate them. If you don't want to kill ffmpeg, you can pause a running process with sudo kill -s SIGSTOP <PID> ...
On Debian based systems there is the DPKG (below apt) can have diversions setup using the command dpkg-divert dpkg-divert is the utility used to set up and update the list of diversions. File diversions are a way of forcing dpkg(1) not to install a file into its location, but to a diverted location. ... System administrators can also use it ...
Another solution I found was to change how I built the ffmbc package. Generally it's possible to pass an alternate prefix for the purpose of changing the final paths of the installed files: ./configure --prefix=/usr/local For Debian packages, this goes in the ${package}/debian/rules file as follows: override_dh_auto_configure: ./configure --enable-...
At the top of your crontab file put SHELL and PATH declaration like: SHELL=/bin/bash PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin See this SE post for more details. The default SHELL and PATH for cron are SHELL=/bin/sh, PATH=/usr/bin:/bin (From man 5 crontab man page).
Not quite what you're asking, but if it's important for the ffmpeg job to finish, it might be enough to renice it to give it a lower priority than the web server processes. Run something like ps auxw |grep ffmpeg to get the PID of the ffmpeg process, then issue sudo renice -n 19 PID to change the process priority, for process PID from the first command. ...
VLC does not support segmenting the output file. You can try to use directly ffmpeg as it supports output segmentation: ffmpeg -i rtsp://admin:firstname.lastname@example.com:554/ch1-s1 -c copy -map 0 -f segment -segment_time 600 -segment_format mp4 "out%03d.mp4"
It probably does not pick up your path since it's running from cron. There are several ways to make it know the path the easiest I have found is just hard code the path to which. Do a: locate which Mine returns this: [user@server ~]$ locate which |grep bin /usr/bin/which Then change your script to do: if [ $(/usr/bin/which ffmpeg | grep -c "ffmpeg") -...
Try whereis ffmpeg on the command line.
Red Hat doesn't distribute MP3-enabled packages due to patent and licensing issues. You can find the necessary packages for CentOS and Fedora from the RPM Fusion free and nonfree repositories.
If ffmpeg is in the path, use which ffmpeg to find its path. If it's not in the path, use locate ffmpeg. The fact that it's a server should not change the path where it is installed if you installed it with packages, so it should probably be in /usr/bin/ffmpeg.
In the past I've used mplayer with dumpstream + a filesizecheck for mms. (let it run for a few seconds, kill it, check if the file is large enough) Maybe this will work for rtmp as well, but I don't know how reliable mplayer's support is. Btw, title has the abbreviation wrong
I've used ffmpeg for a long time and for different encoding/decoding purposes. I find it very reliable. MPlayer, Mencoder and VLC are good players which are based on the ffmpeg library, so you could use them for easier syntax and extended functionality. And a side note: VLC is not only a great player, but also an extremly powerful streaming media server. ...
Various builds of ffmpeg have certain modules enabled/disabled, often for legal reasons. (Certain patented codecs and what not can generally not be distributed, except in source form, depending on the country.) If you want the full package, you will likely have to build it yourself, or browse Google for an hour, searching for a binary that has the modules ...
ffmpeg knows that the %d means a single numeric character and so increments through the list of files. So it is ffmpeg doing this rather than the shell - this is important to make sure the images are in sequence. Note that if your numeric suffixes are more than single digit - like image001.jpg up to image110.jpg then you need to let it know: ffmpeg -r 0.1 ...
Well, the direct answer is no, but the correct answer is I can. When you have missing dependencies during compile, you just need to hunt those down and compile them, then try again. If you're feeling really fancy, you can make your own package out of all those dependencies. There is no fundamental incompatibility about it, just a bit of hard experience.
On Fedora or RHEL I use ATRPMS to install ffmpeg. I'm not sure how well that'll work for Amazon Linux. Worst case is you'd pull down all the RPMs manually and then rebuild them locally which should be simpler than trying to build all the ffmpeg deps yourself. And you'd have RPMs you can put in your local repo or whatever. In regards to the yum package ...
You can allow users to upload directly to your S3 bucket, see Browser Uploads to S3 using HTML POST Forms for an example.
It might be in the bin, etc... It kinda depends where it got installed. Use the find function to get it for sure.
As mentioned before, setting up mod_proxy is probably one of the easiest ways to go because all you have to do is add a configuration to apache, which you already have. If you wanted to do it with mod_rewrite for a particular URL under the same hostname...Like if you have www.yourhost.com as apache and everything under /video coming from the ffserver you ...
Consider using a reverse proxy like nginx. Move apache on 8080 port, let ffserver be on 8090 and setup nginx on 80. Then configure nginx to proxy requests for location /video, for example, to 127.0.0.1:8090 and everything else to 127.0.0.1:8080. This will help you. Now clients connect only on 80 port.
Only one service can listen on a given IP and port combination at any one time. You probably have two options: Bind ffmpeg on port 80 to a different IP and setup a separate hostname. Have Apache redirect the requests transparently using mod_proxy.
video encoding is almost always cpu bottlenecked, so odds are amazon's high-cpu instances will be worth it for you. Similarly amazon's pricing has clear economies of scale so fewer more powerful instances are going to be more cost effective in general. Push comes to shove though, none of us know your app so you gotta test yourself and do the math.
I found this to be the best guide when installing ffmpeg. http://www.videochat-scripts.com/install-ffmpeg-mplayer-flvtool2-yamdi-x264-theora-mp3lame-vorbis-ogg-faac/ Make sure you follow each step. If the install of any dependency fails, retry. Good luck. EDIT The guide doesn't include qt-faststart. Follow this if you need it: cd ~/ffmpeg make tools/...

As Zoredache mentioned, it's not showing as available from anywhere but main; it needs to be there before this will work. That said, you'll want to look into using pinning to set the origin used for a given package.

a "Connection refused" simply means that you attempted to connect doing everything correctly, and for whatever reason, the remote host responded with a TCP Reject packet.

on godaddy, yum is not working. Of course it's not working, because it's not your server to install packages on.

Bill emerges to move attorneys to AG control
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - A bill has emerged in a House budget panel that would transfer an estimated 250 attorneys working for various state agencies to the control of the attorney general's office.
The measure considered Wednesday in the House General Conference Committee on Appropriations fell one signature short of the required number for passage, but Chairman Ken Miller said he was confident the bill would be signed out.
The measure would have to be approved by a similar Senate committee before being considered in the House and Senate.
Attorney general spokesman Charlie Price says the move is expected to cut in half the $9 million state agencies spend to hire outside attorneys.
Price says some agency attorneys would see their salaries reduced under the plan.

Miguel Hernandezby Miguel Hernandez
View All Available Formats & Editions
Miguel Hernández is, along with Antonio Machado, Juan Ramón Jiménez, and Federico García Lorca, one of the greatest Spanish poets of the twentieth century. This volume spans the whole of Hernández's brief writing life, and includes his most celebrated poems, from the early lyrics written in traditional forms, such as the moving elegy Hernández wrote to his friend and mentor Ramon Sijé (one of the most famous elegies ever written in the Spanish language), to the spiritual eroticism of his love poems, and the heart-wrenching, luminous lines written in the trenches of war. Also included in this edition are tributes to Hernández by Federico García Lorca, Pablo Neruda (interviewed by Robert Bly), Rafael Alberti, and Vicente Aleixandre. Pastoral nature, love, and war are recurring themes in Hernández's poetry, his words a dazzling reminder that force can never defeat spirit, that courage is its own reward.

Meet the Author
Miguel Hernández Gilabert (1910–1942) was born into a poor family in the city of Orihuela in southern Spain. His father raised goats and sheep, and Hernández was brought up to be a shepherd. At age eleven, he entered the Jesuit Colegio de Santo Domingo, where he learned to read and write, and started to compose poems whose uncanny virtuosity and wild inspiration earned the admiration of Pablo Neruda and Federico García Lorca. With the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War in 1936, his poetry took on a new public dimension, and Hernández would soon enlist in the Republican Army. In 1937, he married Josefina Manresa Marhuenda, the love of his life. The couple lost their first son to malnutrition; a second, Manuel Miguel, was born in 1939. After the defeat of the Republic, Hernández was condemned to death for his poetry by Francisco Franco, who called him "an extremely dangerous man," a sentence that was subsequently reduced lest he become a martyr like Lorca. Hernández, imprisoned under brutal conditions and suffering from an advanced case of tuberculosis, continued to write until his death on March 28, 1942; he was thirty-one years old.
Don Share is the senior editor of Poetry magazine. His books of poetry include Squandermania, Union, and most recently, Wishbone. He is the editor of Seneca in English, Bunting's Persia, and with Christian Wiman, The Open Door: One Hundred Poems, One Hundred Years of Poetry Magazine. His translations of Miguel Hernández were awarded the Times Literary Supplement Translation Prize and the Premio Valle

I'm a big historynerd, especially medieval history. Music! Some favorite musicians are Florence and the Machine, Hozier, and Janelle Monae but I go through cycles with favorites. I love to read (it's a rule for librarians).
I like to keep busy--it keeps me from ruminating. I love meeting with friends over tea, going on walks, hikes or otherwise connecting with nature. I love to read and write--I'm a bookworm at heart. I enjoy cooking; I'm Queen of the Cookbook.
Just finished "Frederica" by Georgette Heyer (perfect comfort reading). Starting "The Spirit Lens" by Carol Berg now.

We have been coming to Cozumel before Mega opened so have always had a nostalgic feeling for Chedraui. Last year I returned laundry detergent because they had charged me 3500 pesos instead of 350. It wasn't a problem getting a refund but it made me pay more attention to my receipt.
This time I bought a thermometer that had no mercury. We had a good laugh trying to take a temperature that was never going anywhere. I tried to return or exchange the next day with the original packaging and receipt. We were first sent to the pharmacy area where we had purchased only to be told "NO, NO, NO!" with vigorous finger shaking. We then went to customer service where they looked at it shrugged and said no return. I said an exchange would be fine but was told no. I gave up and left with no refund, no thermometer and no desire to return.
Maybe if I was a local I would have been treated differently but from now on I will do all of my grocery shopping at Mega. Mega is, in my opinion, cleaner, better stocked and more customer oriented to non locals. I am sad to give up on Chadraui, and will miss their donuts, but have lost confidence in them.
