There were more than 350 people walking the George West High School track until the early hours of Saturday morning, but walking wasn't the only way locals rallied for Relay.
Toilet seats, head shaving and dunking booths were also a part of the effort.
"This is the most money that has been raised (in George West) in five years," event coordinator Charlesty Burchfield said.
The local relay's record of $100,000 was set five years ago, and last year's was $48,000. Valero was this year's leading team with $13,498, followed by First National Bank of George West with $7,810 and then George West High School's Cancer Kicking Cheerleaders team with $5,309.41 as of Monday.
"We're still waiting on totals for everything, a few checks haven't come in yet," Burchfield said. "There are a lot of people involved in making this a success."
The cheerleading team took a slightly different approach in raising money for the American Cancer Society to help local cancer patients. The ACS uses the funds raised at Relay for Life to help local cancer patients as well as offering preventative screenings.
The cheerleaders chained toilet seats to cars throughout George West for two weeks, and the owners had to pay $20 for them to be removed and could pay $5 extra to have them placed onto another person's car. This approach brought in a little over $1,000.
But their coach, Elizabeth Ham, made a deal with the girls. If they could raise more than $1,500, she would shave her hair off.
"I'm doing this for cancer awareness, and then the word is getting out in the right form. It's them working hard and knowing what it's about." Ham said. "The community is just awesome in supporting us, and only a couple were upset about the toilet seats."
The cheer team also held two bake sales which totaled to $1,400.
Ham and her cheerleaders weren't the only ones to take a nontraditional approach to fundraising at this year's Relay. George West Superintendent (and cancer survivor) Ty Sparks raised $1,000 by letting students dunk him in a dunking booth.
There were 344 people and 49 cancer survivors signed up to participate in this year's Relay prior to the event, and Burchfield said more than that showed up. Among those was George West Junior High School eighth-grader Victor Miller, who was crowned Mr. Relay for raising $322 by dressing like a woman while he and 10 other participants gathered donations throughout the night.
"I would like to send a big thank you to the community; we couldn't have done it without them," Burchfield said.

In Charlevoix, dinner and a movie has been elevated to an art form.
On occasional Saturdays, diners at Scovie's Gourmet Deli & Bake Shop are treated to a feature film and special menu that complements the movie.
A recent showing of "Dirty Dancing," a classic dance film set in the the 60's era Catskills, included oysters Rockefeller, shrimp cocktail, French onion soup, poached salmon, chicken in puff pastry and grasshopper pie.
"We made a special menu for that movie," said Sherl McEnhill, the front of the house manager. "It was an old-time resort menu."
Scovie's great food and welcoming atmosphere make it a regular stop for locals and visitors alike.
Owner Vi Keller's interior is fun and festive. Bright and colorful walls feature various artworks. The front windows look out onto the street and the lakeside park, which is the hub of many community activities.
The restaurant has gone through a series of expansions over time. Last year a large dining room was added where the movies are shown.
Also new this past year is the Class C liquor license.
"[You] can get a glass of wine or a cocktail with dinner," said McEnhill. "That's a very nice complement to our food."
The down-home fare features favorites like the Scovie's BLT, which has a pound of bacon; the California BLT, which adds cheese and avocado spread to that pile of bacon; panini sandwiches like Bordeaux, with turkey, brie and caramelized onions in red wine; and the grilled Tree Hugger, with grilled zucchini, summer squash, roasted red pepper, eggplant, sweet red onions with pesto and Swiss cheese.
Wraps are international in flavor, featuring the tastes of Jamaica, Asia, and Greece, with ingredients like jerk chicken, curry-mayo, rice noodles, and Thai peanut sauce. There's also a complete selection of burgers.
On the dinner side, fish favorites include parmesan-crusted tilapia and grilled salmon. Shrimp, quesadillas, pasta, ribs and beef also play a role.
McEnhill says the northern Michigan chicken salad and the burgers are the most requested items on the menu.
"The salad has dried cherries and toasted almonds with secret spices," she says.
At dinner time, she says patrons often choose the pecan-crusted walleye, topped with an amaretto beurre blanc. But better still is the sautéed perch, finished with white wine and lemon.
Those who prefer chicken most often opt for the chicken Jerusalem, chicken breast sautéed with artichoke hearts, sun-dried tomatoes and kalamata olives, then finished in a chardonnay cream sauce.
The adventurous could always go for the zing of the rasta Cajun pasta: grilled chicken meets andouille sausage, sautéed with peppers and onions before being finished with a Cajun cream sauce.
The restaurant started as a takeout bakery and expanded over time. Scovie's also offers custom-made cakes and catering as well.
The gradual expansion has enabled the restaurant to weather economic storms while encompassing new trends and flavors.
In the summer, Scovie's also expands from its cozy 50+ seats inside to seating outdoors, giving customers a better view of the lake.
Dinners and salads start at $8; though a green salad is $5. Appetizers begin at $6. Sandwiches (available all day) begin at $6.50.
Movie nights cost $5 plus the cost of dinner. Scovie's is open 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Mondays and Tuesdays; 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Wednesdays and Thursdays; and 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays. As of Mother's Day, hours expand to include Sunday brunch.
Scovie's is located at 111 Bridge St. Call (231) 237-7827, visit scovies. com, or check out its Facebook page at facebook.com/scovies.

Upbeat energetic track with a happy, fun and driving vibe. Simple and quirky melodies, bouncy piano rhythmic figures and organic retro meet a country folk rock sound with bright and driving tones. Acoustic guitars and a hammond organ start off this track with jolly and exciting rhythms and transition into the main section where electric guitars, piano and bass introduce a simple, catchy and somewhat funny riff on the acoustic guitar and bells, and create a joyful and festive sound with a fun, upbeat and positive feel. Claps, additional percussion, kazoo and mouth harp come in later on adding an even more animated and groovy feel to the track and leading us to a very optimistic and uplifting ending.
The organic, friendly and playful vibe of this track makes it most suitable for all kinds of celebration videos, nature, travel, fun, party and comedy related contents, commercials, infomercials, podcasts, tv spots and web adverts.
Thanks for buying and rating!

On ice…
Rob and I may attend the unofficial viewing party tonight at McFadden's if we're in the mood to brave a crowd. Or we may go to our usual favorite Mets viewing spot, MJ Armstrong's. But hopefully (please oh please!) there'll be some celebrating tonight.
Still…the real goal remains an uncertainty. Will we be happy just to be division champions? We'll cross that bridge in October. For now, GET THOSE CORKS READY TO POP!
Update: It's looking like McFadden's tonight for me and Rob. We're going to try and get there a bit early to avoid the crowd rush. I'll take pictures for the blog! And if you see me there, say hi!

Hey… I love McFaddens!! The last time the Mets won the division I was 9… so this has been a long time coming! There's definitely more work to do this fall… but for now, I really hope they mob the mound tonight. lol
~ Eddie @ Willie Ball
Argh! If we weren't leaving for PNC Park so early in the morning I'd drag TBF out and we could make it a foursome.
have a great time!
Oh, Zoe, I wasn't copying you with today's post! Once again you beat me to the punch…er, champagne.
Michael Norton – Some Ballyard
Oh, don't worry–after I posted this entry, I saw this and was horrified! I didn't copy either!!
hey zoe, my buddy said he saw you there last night. matt ceronne and i had a table in the back. tough to watch! we had a great time anyway, maybe next time we will get a chance to meet. lets go mets!

anyone tried the Adiri bottles? Opinions? Any other recommendations on bottles?
anyone tried the Adiri bottles? Opinions? Any other recommendations on bottles?
DD loves her booby bottles I also love them, who ever came up with this idea is awesome I am currently using parents choice bottles also because they are cheap and BPA free. Adiri bottle are a little expensive so she only has 3, but she really does not care which bottle she gets as long as it is filled with boob juice
I tried this bottle after hearing rave reviews from others, and my LO was using Playtex Drop-In's for a month. Unfortunately, it did not work out with us. I used the newborn level which has slow-flow nipple, however, my LO was getting so much milk compared to Playtex nipple, she was gulping and spitting out expressed milk. We decided to stay with Playtex and she is 3 months old now. Hopefully it works for you tho!

Schroders joins BlackRock by spending on data teams
Schroders is to follow in the footsteps of BlackRock and many in the hedge fund industry by spending on teams that will design algorithms to replace information once acquired from sellside research analysts.
Schroders is hiring staff in house as well as buying in the expertise from specialist external IT businesses, while BlackRock has already developed its Scientific Active Equity team, a unit set up to enhance the business' stock selection process and inform investment decisions.
These teams are designed to interpret the vast amount of information now available digitally from social media, local and professional news sites, company announcements, conference call transcripts and regulatory filings.
Technical staff then design algorithms to catalogue data into structured lists which can give a sentiment score to inform the investment review process.
Peter Harrison, global head of equities at Schroders, said he is in the process of hiring new staff to build an in-house "data engine". He is keen that some of those hired to interpret data sit with the in-house equity analysts.
He said: "These are people who do this do not fit your traditional fund manager stereotype. They are not literature or history graduates. They are people with different skills.
"I am also looking at fund managers who are able to look at data in different ways. I am speaking to someone who is a quant manager who is able to interpret data differently."
Harrison would not reveal the name of the fund manager with whom he has already held talks, but says the individual is returning to the sector after four years of studying.
Schroders' project to expand its capability in fundamental data analysis follows various trials in the hedge fund industry and BlackRock's now established Scientific Active Equity team.
In a recent BlackRock paper entitled The New Tools of the Trade, the world's largest asset manager said: "Unlike generations past, the web, traditional media and social media sources now generate mountains of data, which gets quickly priced into the market.
"In the past 50 years, most portfolio research teams approached investment decision making in the same way, by reading analyst reports, talking to company management and maybe picking up the phone. However, as markets and information flow have changed, so have we."
Data providers, such as Thomson Reuters, also provide buyside firms with web content and social media analysis services, whereby algorithms scan reams of text to glean insight into market sentiment. The technology is based on natural language processing software, which identifies and scores words for positive and negative connotations.

DS is 10 months old and goes to daycare while I work. I pump for his bottles, so he has never had formula.
For the past few weeks, he's not finishing all of his bottles, but he is eating plenty of solids. The teachers suggested that I send in smaller or fewer bottles, so I don't waste my BM. (they know I have supply issues and how precious BM is to us!!) Right now I send in 3 6oz bottles. He's been leaving about 2 ounces in each bottle, sometimes more.
Would it be ok to only send in 3 4oz bottles? (he would get 2 meals of solids, too) Is that enough BM for his age? He still nurses 4 times when we are home (plus gets another meal of solids).
I want to make sure he has plenty of BM, but my supply sucks and nothing is really helping lately, so a decrease would be less pressure on me, too.
Advice? TIA.

A Milwaukee County prosecutor is recommending two years in prison for a former aide to Scott Walker before Walker was elected governor.
A sentencing memo filed in Milwaukee County Circuit Court by Assistant District Attorney Bruce Landgraf says Tim Russell used his relationship with Walker to access money intended to benefit military veterans and their families, then spent it on tropical vacations.
The State Journal reports Landgraf says Russell's crime reflects "moral depravity."
The 49-year-old Russell was a top aide to Walker when the governor was Milwaukee County executive. Russell has been convicted to stealing more than $20,000.
A sentencing hearing is scheduled Tuesday in Milwaukee County.

Signals are the difficult of part IRIX emulation. However, before examining the way they work on IRIX, let us study the signals implementation in
A user process enters the kernel by a trap. When a trap is caught, the hardware transfers
control to the kernel. Assembly code in sys/arch/mips/mips/locore.S builds a trap frame
(this is a struct frame, defined in sys/arch/mips/include/proc.h) on the kernel stack, in which
CPU registers are saved. Then the
trap() function from sys/arch/mips/mips/trap.c is called to handle the trap.
When resuming the process execution, the kernel just restores the CPU registers from the trap frame. This restores the program counter, stack pointer, and so on.
When the kernel invokes a signal handler, it has to trick the user process so that on return to userland, it executes the signal handler instead of resuming normal execution where it was stopped when the trap occurred.
This is done by modifying the trap frame. The saved program counter is modified so that on
return to userland the signal handler is run. Registers
A1 and
A2 are set to the signal
handler's arguments. This is done for native process in
In This Series
IRIX Binary Compatibility, Part 6
IRIX Binary Compatibility, Part 5
IRIX Binary Compatibility, Part 3
IRIX Binary Compatibility, Part 2
IRIX Binary Compatibility, Part 1
The difficult task is resuming the process normally once the signal handler is executed. To
achieve this, we must save the machine state from the trap frame somewhere, and restore it
correctly later. This is done by copying the machine state to a struct
sigcontext (defined in
sys/arch/mips/include/signal.h) on the process' user stack. The struct sigcontext address is
handed to the signal handler through its third argument, as documented in
Another requirement is to get control back after the signal handler is executed. On MIPS
processors, there is an
RA register, which holds the Return Address. Function returns are
implemented in assembly by a jump to
j $ra
RA saved in the trap frame is used to control where the signal handler
will return. We want to return to the kernel in order to undo the trap frame modification so
that the process will be able to resume normally the next time it returns to
userland. Unfortunately, it is not possible to just jump to kernel code from a user program:
the user process must do a trap to return to the kernel.
Things are done by calling a dedicated system call:
sigreturn(2). The
RA is set to return to a small piece of code known as the signal trampoline, which is copied by the kernel onto the user stack. Then things work, because the signal handler returns to code in user space. The
signal trampoline calls
Here is the signal trampoline for NetBSD/mips, as defined in sys/arch/mips/mips/locore.S
addu a0, sp, 16 # address of sigcontext
li v0, SYS___sigreturn14 # sigreturn(scp)
If the signal handler did not screw up the stack pointer, the signal context structure will be
16 bytes above the stack pointer. The signal trampoline sets up
A0 with the address of the
sigcontext, which will be the first argument to
It is important to hand the struct sigcontext to
sigreturn(2), because it needs it in order to restore the process trap frame. This is done in sys/arch/mips/mips/mips_machdep.c:sigreturn().
sigreturn(2) is a system call that does not return: once the trap
frame is restored and we return to user space, execution will resume
after the trap that occurred before the signal handler execution. The
context of the signal handler does not exist anymore.
On IRIX, things are much more complicated. Once again, doing things incrementally is a good solution, allowing different problems to be addressed separately.
Hence, implementing a
irix_sendsig() and
irix_sigreturn() as plain copies of the native
sendsig and
sigreturn is a good first step. The only original item we need is an IRIX signal trampoline. It can be made from the native signal trampoline, since the only thing that needs to change is the system call number for
addu $a0, $sp, 16 # address of sigcontext
li $v0, IRIX_SYS_sigreturn + SYSCALL_SHIFT
syscall # irix_sys_sigreturn(scp)
break 0 # just in case sigreturn fails
Here we are storing into
A0 the address of
sigcontext, which is 16 bytes lower than the stack pointer.
A0 is used to store the first argument to the
irix_sys_sigreturn system call.
This is really basic, and we are far from emulating what really happens on IRIX, but, in fact, it will even "just work" for a lot of programs where the signal handler does not use its arguments.
Let us review the arguments of the signal handler on IRIX. According to the IRIX
sigaction(2) man page, we have two situations.
If the
SA_SIGINFO flag was not set on
sigaction(2) call, then the signal handler is invoked with:
irix_sigcontext (defined in sys/compat/irix/irix_signal.h) where the process context was saved.
SA_SIGINFO was set:
irix_siginfo (defined in sys/compat/irix/irix_signalh) that explains in greater detail the causes
of the signal. This pointer may be
irix_ucontext (again see
sys/compat/irix/irix_signal.h) where the process context was saved
If the signal handler attempts to use its arguments, we must accurately
emulate them. When
SA_SIGINFO is not set, things are simple because this
is exactly what the native
sendsig() sets up. However, there is a problem
SA_SIGINFO is set.
It is easy to modify
irix_sendsig() so that it saves the context in a struct
irix_ucontext instead of struct
irix_sendsig when
SA_SIGINFO was set. But the problem is in
irix_sys_sigreturn(): how to distinguish between the situation where the context is to be restored from a struct
irix_sigcontext or a struct
irix_ucontext. Assuming the wrong structure will lead to restoring a screwed context, and this means a crash for the process, because
execution will resume at the location the PC register was wrongly set to.
We have the beginning of an answer by looking at IRIX's
sigreturn man
sigreturn expects in three arguments:
scp) where the context was saved
void *, named
One more time, Linux has already implemented this, hence the temptation is here to pick up good
ideas from Linux. Looking at Linux source for
sigreturn is not very instructive: when the first
argument is
NULL, Linux uses the mysterious
ucp pointer to find the process context. Because we
have no real idea about how to handle this
ucp pointer and the
SA_SIGINFO flag, we will just
leave them behind for now. The easy thing to do is to modify
irix_sendsig() and
to make use of struct
irix_sigcontext instead of the native struct sigcontext. At least this
will make programs that do not set
SA_SIGINFO happy with the content of the signal context if
they happen to access it.
The next problem where our emulation may not be accurate enough is probably the stack layout and CPU registers on signal handler invocation. If the IRIX process makes any assumption about them, we can fail. The method for checking stack and CPU register contents on signal handler invocation is simple, it is exactly the same we used on program startup.
We will use it on the following test program:
/* signal11.c -- a simple sigaction(2) tester */
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <signal.h>
void func (int, siginfo_t *, void *);
int main (int argc, char** argv) {
struct sigaction sa;
sigset_t ss;
bzero(&ss, sizeof(ss));
sa.sa_handler = NULL;
sa.sa_mask = ss;
sa.sa_flags = 0;
sa.sa_sigaction = *func;
if (sigaction(SIGHUP, &sa, NULL))
printf("sigaction() failed\n");
kill(getpid(), 1);
return 0;
void func (int sig, siginfo_t *si, void *v) {
printf("signal handler\n");
return 0;
Then, using
gdb on IRIX, we can break at the beginning of the signal
$ gdb ./signal11
Breakpoint 1 at 0x400e38: file signal11.c, line 27.
(gdb) r

In the
A1 and
A2 registers we have the arguments to the signal handler.
A2 points to the
sigcontext, and we can therefore start to figure out how the stack is set up for signal
It is interesting to discover where the different pointers go. For example, at
0x7fff2b3c, we have a pointer to
gdb can tells us it points to:
errno: (gdb) x/1w 0x0fb4f9b0 0xfb4f9b0 <errno>: 0x00000000
By running the same program with
SA_SIGINFO enabled, we have a slightly
different result (now
A2 points to
0x7fff2ac0: 0x00000000 0x00000000 0x00000000 0x00000000
0x7fff2ad0: 0x00000000 0x00000000 0x00000000 0x00000000

0x7fff2b20: 0x00000000 0x00000000 0x7fff0000 0x00006b58
0x7fff2b30: 0x00000000 0x00000000 0x00000000 0x00000000
Starting at
0x7fff2b10, we now have a struct
irix_ucontext. The big difference is that at
0x7fff2b08 we now have a
NULL pointer whereas we had a pointer to the struct
irix_sigcontext. At
0x7fff2b04 we have the signal number. We end up with the following signal stack frame:
struct irix_sigframe {
int isf_pad1[7];
int *isf_uep; /* 0x7fff2afc Pointer to errno in userspace */
int isf_errno; /* 0x7fff2b00 errno value */
int isf_signo; /* 0x7fff2b04 signal number */
struct irix_sigcontext *isf_scp; /* 0x7fff2b08 sigcontext pointer */
struct irix_ucontext *isf_ucp; /* 0x7fff2b0c ucontext pointer */
union { /* 0x7fff2b10 sigcontext/ucontext */
struct irix_ucontext iuc;
struct irix_sigcontext isc;
} isf_ctx;
Note that it is impossible yet to guess that the
isf_errno field holds the
errno value. We will discover this a bit later.
In the CPU register values, the content of register
RA is also interesting: this is the address of the signal trampoline. An
x/20i $ra command typed in
gdb would show it, but I cannot
reproduce it here because of the copyright SGI holds on it. There are several things to note
about this signal trampoline.
First, dumping it would show that it does not start at
RA but a few instructions before. If you
happen to run the above test program, you can see the whole IRIX 6.5 signal trampoline by
issuing an
x/32i $ra-100. This suggests two things: there are several entry points to the
signal trampoline, or the signal trampoline is invoked before the signal handler.
It is easy to find out what is happening: we just have to set a breakpoint at the beginning of
the signal trampoline and run the test program again (do not pay attention to the file names,
gdb is obviously confused):
(gdb) b *$ra-100
Breakpoint 2 at 0xfadce9c: file iconv_converter.c, line 21556.
(gdb) r
The program being debugged has been started already.
Start it from the beginning? (y or n) y
Starting program: /tmp/signal10
Program received signal SIGHUP, Hangup.
0xfa44cc0 in kill () at regcomp.c:575
575 regcomp.c: No such file or directory.
(gdb) c
Breakpoint 2, <signal handler called>
We do break at the beginning of the signal trampoline. The signal trampoline is therefore
executed before the signal handler, it calls the signal handler, and then
Another thing to note is that the signal trampoline is not on the user stack. In fact, on IRIX,
gdb is kind enough to gives us its symbol name when we dump it using
x/32i $ra-100: _sigtramp.
We can check that this symbol is defined in
libc itself:
$ nm -D libc.so.1 | grep sigtramp
0faee444 A _sigtramp
On IRIX, the signal trampoline is therefore provided by the
libc. This is another big difference from NetBSD.
The IRIX signal trampoline is also quite big compared to NetBSD's native one. Copyrights forbid
us to reproduce it, but at least we can tell what it does (and this will probably say more to
most readers). The signal frame is called
sf here, it is as defined earlier.
A0 is set. By trying with and without
SA_SIGINFO here, we discover that this bit is set when
SA_SIGINFO is set.
A2 in
sf.isf_ucp, and
NULL in
A2 in
sf.isf_scp and
errno, and stores it in
sf.isf_uep (IRIX 6
only). This is done by looking up the Global Offset Table and assuming that
errnoaddr symbol is at a fixed offset from the signal trampoline.
errno using
sf.isf_uep and
sf.isf_errno (IRIX 6 only)
sigreturn(sf.isf_scp, sf.isf_ucp, sf.isf_signo) on IRIX 6
sigreturn(sf.isf_scp, sf.isf_ucp) on IRIX 5.
This is where we discover that
sf.isf_errno holds the
errno value. We
also discover that the kernel transmits the information that we use a struct
irix_ucontext instead of a struct
irix_sigcontext by setting the higher
bit of
A0 on signal handler invocation.
The function
irix_sigreturn can discover if the context is to be restored from a
irix_ucontext instead of a struct
irix_sigcontext when
NULL. sf.isf_ucp then points to the struct
Now that we know everything about the signal trampoline. What should we do with it? Well, just use it. In sys/compat/irix/irix_signal.c:irix_sendsig() instead of returning to the signal handler, with the return address set to a signal trampoline on the stack (which is a NetBSD flavor signal delivery), we can return to the signal trampoline and let it do all the work for us. This behavior is much closer to the way signals are handled on IRIX.
The only problem is that the kernel does not have the signal trampoline location. The signal
trampoline is in a userland program, and we do not have any simple way of digging it out. It is
not possible to assume that we can find it at a hard coded place in user memory, since it will
change with
libc versions.
To learn the signal trampoline address, we can run a shell command such as:
$ nm -D libc.so.1 |grep _sigtramp
0faee444 A _sigtramp
If a shell command can do it, the kernel can do it. A first idea could be to find the address
the same way we do it from the shell: by looking up the symbol table. This means loading the
ELF section containing the symbol table, then walking through the table looking for our symbol,
et voila.
This method could work, but it is still extremely weak. First, looking up the symbol is time-consuming. Second, it means importing into the kernel a lot of user level code, thus increasing kernel size and increasing the odds of creating kernel bugs. Third, it is not trivial to find The Right Place for this symbol check in the kernel sources. Doing it that way would be a nasty hack.
I could not imagine that it was done in such an ugly way in the IRIX kernel. There must have existed some way for the program to inform the kernel of the signal trampoline address.
After some investigation, this appears to be true: Each time the
sigaction(2) system call is
invoked on IRIX, the
libc gives the signal trampoline address as a fourth argument to
/* signal10.c -- a sigaction tester */
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <signal.h>
void func (int, siginfo_t *, void *);
int main (int argc, char** argv) {
struct sigaction sa;
sigset_t ss;
bzero(&ss, sizeof(ss));
sa.sa_handler = NULL;
sa.sa_mask = ss;
sa.sa_flags = 0;
sa.sa_sigaction = (void *)func;
if (sigaction(SIGHUP, &sa, NULL)) {
printf("signal() failed\n");
return -1;
printf("sigactionl() successful. Now sleeping\n");
kill(getpid(), 1);
return 0;
void func (int sig,siginfo_t *si, void *v) {
$ gdb ./signal10
(gdb) b sigaction
Breakpoint 1 at 0x400b90
(gdb) r
Starting program: ./signal10
Breakpoint 1 at 0xfa40df0: file sigaction.c, line 25.

0xfa40dfc <_sigaction+24>: lw $v0,0($v0)
0xfa40e00 <_sigaction+28>: sw $gp,24($sp)
No system call here. In fact the
sigaction() function in
libc calls
libc function. By tracing in
gdb with the
stepi command, we
can discover it. The other way is to think that the name could be related:
$ nm -D /usr/lib/libc.so.1|grep sigaction
0fa40d94 A _ksigaction
0fa40dd4 A _sigaction
0fa40d94 W ksigaction
0fa40dd4 W sigaction
If in
gdb we attempt a break on
$ gdb ./signal10
(gdb) b ksigaction
Breakpoint 1 at 0xfa40da4: file ksigaction.s, line 23.
(gdb) r

0xfaee290 <_sigtramp+12>: sw $a0,36($sp)
We've got it.
A3 holds the fourth argument to the system call. Once we know where the signal
trampoline is, our only problem is to remember it between the time we are given it by
sigaction(2) and the time we have to use it on signal delivery. We cannot use a kernel global
variable since we may work with several processes which use different libc, and hence different
sigramp addresses. We must store a per process view of this information.
This is done using a field of the struct
proc. Each process is described by a
proc structure,
which is defined in sys/sys/proc.h. In this structure, we find various information such as the
process credentials, a pointer to the process' struct
emul, the process
pid, and so on. There is
p_emuldata field, which is a pointer to emulation specific data. Each emulation subsystem is
free to use it to store per process emulation specific data.
We just have to define a struct
irix_emuldata with an appropriate field to store the signal
trampoline address. Then we must allocate this structure at process creation time and set the
proc p_emuldata field pointing to it. At process termination time we must de-allocate the
irix_emuldata, to avoid memory leak in the kernel. To do this we need a hook at
exec and
exit time. The emulation subsystem provides a way of doing this without having to
provide emulation specific versions of these system calls: in struct
emul, we have 3 fields
e_proc_fork, and
e_proc_exit, which point to 3 functions invoked on
fork and
Thus, we can define the 3 functions:
irix_e_proc_fork(), and
irix_e_proc_exit(), fill the fields in the
emul_irix_o32 and
emul_irix_n32 struct
emul (if you don't remember them go back to article 2 of the series), and we have enough support for
allocating and freeing our
irix_emuldata structures.

Once all of this was done, we achieve a very good level of compatibility with IRIX signal
delivery. Additionally this makes the code in
irix_sendsig() and
irix_sigreturn() much simpler, since it does not have to handle most of the signal frame anymore: the signal trampoline does
this. We are even able to successfully emulate signal delivery for binaries such as autocad
which provide their own signal trampoline.
One other interesting thing to note is that since that code was written, Jason Thorpe implemented signal trampolines provided by libc for NetBSD native processes, thus adopting the same scheme IRIX used.
libc provided signal trampoline was adopted in NetBSD because it removes the need to execute
code on the stack. Memory pages mapped on the stack can therefore be made non executable (the
Memory Management Unit of all modern CPU are able to enforce such rules), and we are able to fix
a whole class of security problems. With a non executable stack, it is not possible anymore to
exploit a buffer overflow on a local variable by executing some user-supplied code stored on the
In future articles we will move on to multi-threading support in IRIX binaries.

I'm not the only Mets fan–or Cliff Floyd fan–in the household
Jasper says: Mew! Mew! Mrews! Which of course translates to: Let's. Go. Mets! Now Give. Me. Food!
Jasper will be the first to tell you, as you can see on that crazy YouTube, that he is the MVP of cute.
In August, my baby went on the DL when we found out he was diabetic. But with lots of care from his trainers and nutritionists (Zoe and Rob), he's back strong for the postseason.
Trust me. You couldn't have PULLED Jasper away from the Mets newspaper coverage on Sunday. He's just thrilled.
7 Comments
I can see Jasper is caught up in the excitement! OK, so the new blog is http://2006nlcs.mlblogs.com, first post coming shortly. Yes, I will be PowerBlogging from Shea starting tomorrow!
Yay Mark!!!
Hi Jasper, Zoe and Rob: I just want to thank you for your great blogs on the METS! I sooo badly want a Mets – Tigers World Series. The Mariners are my team, but I have followed the Mets since I first saw them play on MLB.com (What a Bargin!)and started reading your blog. I want to see two teams in the WS…that have energy (Let's REYES the Roof), know how to celebrate, and have class people as managers (Willie and Jim). When I think about this season, and these two teams, two pictures come to mind: METS – REYES' smile and attidue in the dugout ( jumping up and down)( while poor Melky had to sit on the bench and stare because "Pride , Power and Pinstripes" are above acting like – Reyes The Roof ), as they were clinching the title…he (Reyes) is very addictive. TIGERS – the way the team celebrated with the fans. These two teams have energy, synergy, trust, and swagger.
My two female cats – Suki and Sarah are in love with Jasper.
Thanks again for the time and energy you put into your blog. I plan to blog the Mariners next year starting with Spring Training … thumbs down on the 2 Mariners' Blogs on MLB.com.
Aloha, KIMO (Jim) –The slowest right fielder in the history of High School Baseball!!!!
Thanks for the love! The Mets are a hugely fun team to blog about. xx
How cute! Where did you get that hat? I know my Chihuahua wants one. 🙂

The threat workedSeptember 13,2013For all you innumerable skeptics of President Barack Obamas calls for military strikes on Syria, consider this:
For decades, Syria has refused to confirm that it has chemical weapons. Now, facing a limited strike, its position abruptly changed to: Oh! We do have them after all! And we want to sign the Chemical Weapons Convention! We want to show them to United Nations inspectors.
In short, the mere flexing of military power worked initially and tentatively. And while it seems that neither Congress nor the public has any appetite for cruise missile strikes on Syria, it will be critical to keep the military option alive in the coming weeks or Russia and Syria will play us like a yo-yo.
Frankly, Im skeptical that a deal can be worked out in which Syria hands over its chemical weaponry, and Obama may have exchanged a losing struggle with Congress with a Sisyphean struggle with Russia. But its not impossible. And even if Syria cheated and stalled and eventually handed over only half of its chemical arsenal and none of its biological arsenal, that would still be a huge win for global security.
So heres a three-track strategy for Syria going forward:
n Negotiate with Moscow on removal of Syrian chemical weapons and insist on conditions to ensure were not being played, including immediate disclosure to the United Nations of chemical weapons stockpiles, a binding Security Council resolution confirming the deal, a reference in the resolution to serious consequences for noncompliance, and immediate installation of camera monitors on at least a few locations.
n Groundwork in Congress to authorize a limited missile strike if Syria does not comply, partly to retain leverage with Moscow.
n Expansion of efforts to arm and support moderate Syrian rebels, accompanied by covert cyberwarfare on the Syrian regime, to try to change the momentum on the ground.
Ultimately, thats the best hope to coerce President Bashar Assad to step down so that all sides can try to reach a cease-fire and power-sharing agreement. Yet if were going to sustain the pressure, we have to address these fundamental questions: Can we really promote peace with military force? Is it possible to help a country by bombing it?
Longtime readers know that I adamantly opposed the Iraq war and Afghan surge, oppose strikes on Iranian nuclear sites and tend to think we overinvest in military tools and underinvest in diplomatic ones. So many readers were stunned that Ive endorsed missile strikes on Syria and Im hearing screams of betrayal.
You cant kill people to show that its wrong to kill people, Christine protested on my Facebook page.
When has violence, killing and aggression helped anything, demanded Jan, also on Facebook.
The answer is: Sierra Leone, Mali, Ivory Coast, Bosnia and Kosovo. In each of those countries, an outside military force intervened at minimal cost and saved large numbers of lives. In several (as Clausewitz would have predicted), war buttressed diplomacy and helped achieve peace agreements.
We think of warfare in binary terms, as if our options are invasions or nothing at all, but thats misleading. All-out wars have a poor record, but modest interventions of the kind Obama is talking about in Syria have a more successful (though still mixed) history.
Thats even true in Iraq, although I hate to mention the word because it sends a shudder up every readers spine. While the war that began in 2003 was a disaster, two limited interventions succeeded in Iraq. One was President Bill Clintons 1998 bombing of Iraqi military sites for a few days (maybe the closest parallel to Obamas plan for Syria); it may have convinced Saddam Hussein to abandon WMD programs. The other is the no-fly zone over Iraqs Kurdish areas in the 1990s to prevent a genocide there. They were limited uses of force that proceeded so smoothly that they are hardly remembered.
War is obviously terrible, but its not the ultimate evil, notes Kenneth Roth, executive director of Human Rights Watch. Some things are worse, and one is the deliberate slaughter of civilians.
Human Rights Watch doesnt take a position on a strike on Syria, and Roth notes that military intervention isnt the first tool to reach for to prevent mass atrocities. Sometimes armed intervention hurts. Sometimes it helps. Were left to decide on a case-by-case basis.
In Syria, for two and a half years, weve given the regime a green light, and the killing has escalated from 5,000 a year to 5,000 a month and, last month, to a poison gas attack that was perhaps the biggest massacre in the war. Now Obamas threat of military strikes has turned the light yellow, Syria is scrambling to adjust, and there is some hope of a diplomatic solution. Lets not allow the light to go green again.

Rasmussen: 88% Say They're Paying More for Groceries Than A Year Ago. Thanks Obama, you bum.
Americans still say overwhelmingly that they are paying more for groceries than they were year ago which helps explain why a majority continues to lack confidence in the Federal Reserve Board's ability to keep inflation down.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 88% of American Adults report paying more for groceries compared to a year ago, a finding that has ranged from 75% to 93% since April 2009.

In the latest Ubuntu version 8.04 a simple command (sudo apt-get install mtpfs) will install full MTP support. MTPFS provides a full file browsing experience just like an MSC based device with the ability to browse playlists, write playlists, and write metadata to music tracks.
This is great news to MTP only devices like the Creative Zen family, but I also throw out a proposal for the Zune. The Zune uses a modified version of MTP called MTPZ. If this isn't too modified from MTP, then could this be a slight hack to get full drag and drop Linux support to the Zune?

pedophile pavor poenae
Translation, please. Got the pedophile part. What about the other two words? Otherwise my brain is only going to read it as "The pedophile is a paver of peonies."

Dear Angel: Some Latin things I remember, some I can find on Internet. When all else fails, I can fake it. Then Faldage or CK make fun of me. Sock it to me, guys.

Angel, didn't you think it was latin? and if you picked up a foriegn newspaper, could you look at it, and say "oh this is Italian (or French, or Spanish, or German, or Dutch)? or any other of a half dozen languages, you might not speak, but sort of recognize?
in the early 80's when home computers were new, the was a regualar column in Scientific American on Programing.
On great article was the outline and rules for languages.. for example, LL is common in both english and spanish.. but there are only about 5 words in english that use LL as the first pair of letters in a word (llama, llano, Llanelly, Lloyds ) so a rule for English is LL is a good combo at the end of word, (will well, call hell, hall, tall, etc) but not good for first two letters.. and ST is a good starter, but Ts, is not. (no native words, but tsar, and tsunami, and tsetse, and a dozen or so others, from Japanese, Greek and Yiddish, and Chinese.)
Eau is found by its self in French, but in English its always part of word.. (beauty, ect.)
and while A, I, and rarely, O, can be words, we don't use E or U as word.. Or au, or other double vowels.. Our common short words are it, to, of, as, so, am, an, in, on, but not il, un, el, and so on.
other language rules are word size, and capitalization, and punctuation..
the article gave general directions for writing a program the would follow the "general rules" for any given language, and allow you to generate "fake french", "fake Italian" and several other commom languages. It was after 1982, (since i had a computer by then, and was reading computer articles)
You might not want to write a program, but just the bit about how it is that we human recognize a foriegn language was pretty interesting. (i still remember the gist of the article 25 years later!)
Dr bill knows enough latin, that he can generate fake latin with out a program... we all looked at, and thought it was latin, but as he points out, Faldage and Bob Young will know he is faking it..
when i first came here, babble fish a translater program was being played with.. you might enjoy finding some of the threads, or just googling babble fish, and playing with it.. generate some fake language of your own.. (or go to Engrish.com. and see how the japanese generate fake english all the time!_________________________

Helen, that's fascinating. 25 years ago I was aware of computers but they weren't part of my life (we had to file our stories by Telex!). Anyway, interesting you should mention it. Scientific American has a new piece on language, reviving the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis (always dear to my heart, even after decades of misconstruing and PC-overreaction)
Here's the article. I'll be back later to comment on it.
Those who are having a long weekend, enjoy it.

that is a great article AnnaS, I have watched my sister mental change gears when she talks japanese... and its been pointed out, Mayor LaGuadia not only spoke Italian, English and Yidish, he use different hand getures in the different languages... i suspect we do the same sort of thing even in different dialects of english.
i suspect the article i mentioned won't be available on line, it was from a column, not a full article.. back in those day, most of us worked in some from of basic, so a good outline for a program meant everyone could just code it in them selves.. (back then, every computer had a slightly different Basic..logo? was an other available language, and Lisp but only in big machines. Assembly was available for geeks.. (don't ask) ) I had my first computer in 1982, but didn't go on line til my son was in college. He had his first web page out in 1994 or so, and i was looking at it then. it was about then that things started moving so fast that i couldn't keep up with them.._________________________

Mama Nabi - I am a secret fan of your posts on k.m.(not so secret anymore) ...so flattered you stopped by.
- July 17, 2008 at 2:30 PM
LOL! i laughed so hard. I remember how much my mom hates dog fur and she insists the dog should live outside. so our first pet had to live outside because of her and my mom has tied the dog to the pole LOL!! I was only a teenager and i had to follow her decision. My mom really hated having pet. again once i became an adult we got another dog after the previous one died. She really hated the idea we are having a pet but i pursuaded her for months and now she always kisses the dog and calles him "baby" and always hugs him and really loves him LOL!!!

when i was 8 my mom gave away my bunny to the kids across the street and never told me. i didn't know what happened, thought it had escaped from the yard, then my little sister told me so i cried for 4 days in my room to myself. the worst part was i had to watch the kids across the street play with it all the time. TORTURE to a child's soul.
- July 29, 2008 at 1:09 PM
My mom let my sister and I have two CATS (!!!) and the three of us would hug and kiss them lovingly until we would hear the sound of the garage door opening. Father's home! Put the cats in the laundry room! Korean dads... they need a blog of their own.
- August 3, 2008 at 3:32 AM
First you don't like miyuk gook and then you rag on the smell of dweng jang jigae? Are you really Korean? I'm starting to have my doubts....

my dad was a refugee from north korea, and he has an affinity for animals since he lived alone with them for periods of time. therefore, we had an aviary with koowongs (pheasants), meh-tur-ee's (quails), and ddak. he would... eat them, which i'm sure was against city ordinance.
we also had domesticated pets, like dogs and cats, but the dogs were always sent to the pound because it would get into his garden of cherry tomatoes, corn, and lettuce, and the cat... well, she was shunned because she was a kaak-jjeng-ee.
well, after about 12 years as an outdoor cat, she eventually started coming inside the house. i took advantage of that and it took about another 3 months for her to be comfortable in my room, and eventually sleep on my bed. my mom HATED this... but for some reason, since my mom was so mild mannered, the cat (kaam-doong-ah, "blacky") adored her.
when my mom did finally warm up to the cat, she would pet her with a q-tip dipped in hydrogen peroxide to "clean" the cat. at least the cat got attention.
i've moved out of the house since then... the cat is still alive and nearly 20 years old. god love that little animal. oh... and now that i moved out, they've give the cat an electric blanket, placed in a box, next to the sliding glass door outside the dining room. they also feed her exactly half a can of expensive cat food for every meal. i miss that cat.

Sweet Jesus Marimba! What the buggery bollocks is that thing? It looks like the Demon Rat Monkey from "Dead Alive!" Then again, considering what happened to the momma in that movie, it's pretty cool.

So Hilarious. My mom freaks out every time my dog shakes. And she vacuums at least 2x a day when she comes to visit. And she always says "dong muhl hah go jah myun ahn dae"... no sleeping with animals... yet before she leaves after her visits, she always says "maybe kota should stay with mommy, b/c you work so much and he's sad."

Your mom is right. Pets are filthy animals and should be kept outside the house.
Bosintang is all these creatures are good for.

HAAAAAA, most of these are true.
But i'd have to strongly disagree with this one.
My mom loves pets!
We have four dogs, two birds, and two bunnies =]

I think the only thing that saved us when we got our dog (without her previous knowledge, just brought it home) was that it was a Korean dog. A Jindo. She never took her for a walk. Never fed her. For all we knew just didn't like her. But one day I saw her secretly pet her and once she saw me, immediately withdrew her hand and shooed away our dog.
- August 22, 2008 at 2:44 AM
So dead on, it's frightening. This post is exactly what happened with my K.M. She had a scare with her dog yesterday and said to me, "Now I understand why people are inconsolable when they lose a pet. It has to be worse than losing a child." Not kidding, folks.

First we had a pomeranian (cute little sucker!) and gave that to a friend because it was too much work and then got a good, Korean Jindo-gae and it turned out to not be as smart as expected so we got another Jindo (I have no idea what happened to the first one) and Mia is still alive and well to this day, although now that I'm married and out of the house (the only reason to get married, right?) nobody takes the poor doggy for a walk!
Love always,
P.S. She feeds her all the leftover Korean food and takes all the extra galbi bones and meat from Weddings to give to our dog...

For my mom specifically, she doesn't hate animals. She's just afraid of dogs. And cats. And rats.
We've had dogs since 9 years ago, cats 2 years ago, and well -- the rat problem was because my cat was AFRAID of the rats! (Ha ha.)
- November 12, 2008 at 3:32 PM
my mom never let me have a dog because they're 'dirty' and they poop. i only had fish pretty much.
- January 21, 2009 at 4:55 PM
luckily my mom like animals.. she even had chickens as pets when she was little.. but sadly, she came home one day after school and the chickens were gone and for dinner guess what they had? XP

Omg, so true!!!!! My brother and I had to BEG our parents (i.e. my mom) for us to get a cat... and the cat was not allowed to live inside the house with us...

My Korean parents had no choice but to adapt somewhat to American ways, thanks to the rebellion of my siblings and myself, the oldest and yet the black sheep. LOL
As kids, to pacify us, we were allowed to have hamsters for a bit. I think my parents knew those animals had a short life span. To piss everyone off and to not be accused of taking the Lord's name in vain, I named my hamster "Jesus".
We had a dog that my brother brought home when we were kids who mysteriously disappeared one day.
I received a dog for my b-day when I was in my mid-late twenties. There were many fights because dogs, especially LARGE dogs, were to be left outdoors. The only dogs allowed indoors were the "yappy", tiny ones. Unfortunately, my gift and dog of choice was a Rottweiller. I sold them on the idea by saying that Rottweillers were incredible security dogs and people, especially blacks, were scared to death of the breed. Yes, I know that's racist but I use to use stereotypes to my advantage. Since my parents had no choice, my Korean Dad built her a welfare wooden cage for the basement but my dog grew way too fast for him to keep up! My Korean Mom would exclaim that the cage was a magic box and everyday my dog would be bigger and couldn't understand why my Rottweiler wouldn't stop getting bigger.
My girl's name was "Ha Jee Ma!" (RIP) because I use to chase her around and yell that and unfortunately, she started answering to that.
My dog went to obedience schools and even had 2 personal trainers. I think my "HaJeeMa!" taught my parents a few things about dogs and I learned a few things about my parents.
My parents use to spoil the hell out of my dog. My mother would cook for her. She had alot of old-fashioned notions that dogs were to be left alone when eating, you couldn't take anything from a dog's mouth, etc. You should have seen the look on her face when Hajee had a piece of meat in her mouth and all I had to say was "cho (give) and she would drop it. "My father would walk her when I was out of town and worry about my dog's bowel movements.
She wasn't allowed upstairs but many times, she would quietly show up in the living room because someone forgot to close the basement door. For a 125 pound dog, she was quiet as hell when she took to the stairs. She knew she wasn't allowed so would meekly plop down at the entrance of the living room where the family would be watching Korean dramas. Not too close to be chased away but close enough to be with us. Every now and then, we would hear the VERY quiet footsteps on the stairs, snicker and wait, knowing she would soon be peering around the corner into the room with the most pathetic look.
Sofas were a no-no but once she discovered people used just their rear ends to sit on them, she learned to just put her butt on the couch and even cross her legs. So damn amusing that she would be allowed to stay for a little bit. LOL
My parents would bitch about the dog and her endless dog hair but very funny how their attitudes would change when we had company. They use to LOVE the shocked look on guests' faces when they announced the dog lived INSIDE the house (albeit the basement, where my bed was), was terrific with kids, very "Soon-Ha" despite her size. The best part? They use to BRAG that my dog went to school and had private instructors. Guess my grades weren't good enough so they had to brag about something. LOL
Another bonus - when I moved out, my parents were less worried about their female child living alone because I had this 125 pound Rottweiller!

I am wiping tears (of laughter) from my eyes. I stumbled onto your site this afternoon and haven't stopped. So good to hear about other KM accounts as I didn't grow up around other Korean children. We had two dogs my mother liked. One was an outside dog that was mean and use to try and bite everyone. My mother loved that about her and use to feed her scraps from the dinner table mixed with rice, a bit of soy sauce (for flavoring) and hot peppers to encourage her ferocious temper. The other was my chihuahua. Her love for him was summed up in one sentence: He eat good. That dog would eat anything she gave him. He appealed to her need to feed. There were so many times I had to take him to the vet for gastric upset b/c she'd have fed him so much pork and steak and God only knows what else. Not all Korean/dog experiences are happy though. My Korean cousin wrote to me about a small poodle her English teacher had given her when she moved back to the states. They hadn't wanted the dog but she was desperate for someone to take care of it, and they felt it rude to continually refuse. However, her mom would not keep it in the house, so it stayed chained up in the back yard and froze to death over the winter. Poor thing.

The K.M. will scream and rage against the idea of having a pet in the house; yet, when you do manage to somehow get one in the house, eventually your K.M. will be the only one who feeds and plays with it, and will think it is cuter and better-behaved and more lovable than the children that came from her womb. And she will probably be right...

Enterprise investigates the mystery of a lost Earth colony whose inhabitants disappeared decades before. But that doesn't mean they left.
Summary Edit
The crew of Enterprise is going to investigate what happened to the Terra Nova colony. This was the first extra-solar Earth colony, and they lost all contact after a couple of unfriendly transmissions. When they arrive at the colony, they find no one, only a ghost town. The site also has a low level of radiation that would be harmful to Humans in the long term.
An away team composed of Travis Mayweather, T'Pol, Jonathan Archer and Malcolm Reed is dispatched. They make an unfriendly First Contact with strange Humans, resulting in Lieutenant Reed being taken hostage. Archer and Phlox then return, unarmed, to try to build trust with the residents. The doctor offers to take Nadet to Enterprise to treat her lung cancer.
It turns out that the Novans were opposed to a second convoy of Humans going to live in the home they struggled to build. Following that, relations with Earth degraded and, when an asteroid hit the planet, the colonists erroneously concluded that Earth was taking the colony back by force. The ensuing radiation from the impact left only the children surviving, which led to three generations of hatred for off-worlders and a migration to the "underside," a network of caverns where there was no radiation. With this insight, it becomes clear why the Novans are still suspicious, even when Phlox offers his help.
Phlox later discovers that the water supplies of the underside have recently been poisoned by radiation and that could lead to the colonists' descendants' extinction. T'Pol suggests that the Novans be relocated in caverns in the southern hemisphere where there is no radiation. Jamin's first impression is that Archer has simply found a plan to take their home from them, but he finally agrees to talk to his people about the idea.
When they return to the planet, the rescue of a wounded Novan helps build trust between Nadet's son and the captain. When they finally reach the other Novans, Nadet insists on telling them what awaits them and they finally accept the relocation plan, avoiding extinction.
This episode summary has been identified as lacking essential detail, and as such needs attention. Feel free to edit this page to assist with this expansion.

Log Entries Edit
- Captain's starlog, supplemental. Sub-Commander T'Pol has discovered the remnants of an impact crater that could explain the radiation.
Memorable Quotes Edit
"I'm not familiar with the early years of Human space exploration."
"Really? Every school kid on Earth had to learn about the famous Vulcan expeditions."
"Name one."
(after long pause) "History was never my best subject."
- - Trip and T'Pol
"Asking favors of the Vulcans usually ends up carrying too high a price."
- - Trip, to T'Pol
"My experience with Humans is limited, but I've come to learn that they are quite resourceful."
- - T'Pol, to Captain Archer
"If those aliens killed the colonists they could kill Malcolm, too."
"Those weren't aliens. They're Human."
- - Mayweather and T'Pol
"I'm leg broke!"
- - Akary
"If these are the descendants of the original colonists, they've never seen other Humans before. Maybe, we look as strange to them as they did to us."
- - Archer, after realizing who the Novans really were
"Ever heard of Judge Crater?"
"Disappeared in the early 20th century. How about Amelia Earhart?"
"1937. Never found a trace of her. A lot of people spent years – decades – trying to figure out what happened to them. But neither of those mysteries holds a candle to Terra Nova. And we solved it!"

Background Information Edit
- Stunt coordinator Vince Deadrick, Jr. was pleased with the amount of space that the stunts for this episode were given. He later reminisced, "We had Scott [Bakula] dangling from a ledge, and we had him on a cable, which was great. We had some meat there." (Star Trek: Communicator issue 138, p. 42)
- Erick Avari previously played Vedek Yarka in DS9: "Destiny" and B'iJik in TNG: "Unification I".
- This episode is one of seven Star Trek episodes with Latin names, in this case meaning "New Earth." (It also happens to be the Latin name for Newfoundland.) The others are "Sub Rosa", "Dramatis Personae", "Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges", "Non Sequitur", "Ex Post Facto", and "Vox Sola".
- Near the end of the episode, Mayweather mentions the mystery of Amelia Earhart. This mystery was solved 220 years later by the crew of USS Voyager in VOY: "The 37's".
- This is the first episode to name Phlox's species, Denobulan.
- In a 2011 interview, Brannon Braga cited this as his least favorite episode from the entirety of Star Trek: Enterprise. "There happens to be an irony there. It was about finding a lost colony of humans, but it was boring and it was unfortunate that it was such an early episode," Braga critiqued. [1]
- In an apparent nod to TOS, when Archer and Reed enter the abandoned surface colony, Reed spins the wheel of an overturned bicycle--just like Dr. Leonard McCoy did in the desolate city in TOS: "Miri". (citation needed • edit)

If you're read this blog before, you've probably noticed I am not one to skimp on detail. I like to document everything we do at the ball park.
This weekend at PNC Park was no exception. In fact, I might have out done myself.
I haven't even started working on our two game entries. In the meantime, check out a little something Tim and I put together while BP was rained out and the game delayed Saturday night in Pittsburgh. I call it "PNC360."
(Make sure you have it on high quality — click "480p" at the bottom right of the video window).
This version of "Take Me Out to The Ball Game" is by Brave Combo and, I think, you can purchase it here.

O-Mo-Shi-Roi! This is unique! I can see you and Tim are enjoying everything around the ballgame!
Great sequence! That's very different. Does that count as your game entry, or are you planning a full write up?
That is SICK!!!
Indeed, we are. Thanks for the link. I'd never seen the full version of the song before. Very interesting.
Thanks, sirs.
>I'd never seen the full version of the song before.
You didn't? Me too. Another thing that surprized me is the fact that there is no overlap between the two collections, yours and mine, of various arrangements of this single song!
When you have time, please click "TOP" at the upper-left corner of the page I cited and meet cute little Japanese baseball kids (they are all schoolboys and a schoolgirl going to an elementary school in Kyoto, the former capital of Japan).
