Beautiful work!Reviewed on 10/28/2012 Brandy P
Sara was my florist from Carriage. I met with her a few times before my wedding and she always listened to my requests and created beautiful options. The day of my wedding she personally came to the site since I had tall centerpieces and made sure all the little details came... Read More together. She was a great florist and I was beyond happy with everything!
Sara is the best!Reviewed on 9/24/2012 Joshua H
We used Carriage and were not dissapointed. Sara helped us all the way through the process and helped pick the right color and style that my wife was looking for. I will be sure to use Carriage for other occasions. Talk to Sara she will definetly help you, she is patient and... Read More has a creative style.
Beautiful flowers!Reviewed on 9/14/2012 Caroline T
We used Carriage for our August wedding and were very pleased! Sarah is creative and willing to work with your needs and budget. We used the classic red and white roses and the roses were gorgeous- nice and big and the red were very vibrant! Sarah designed both tall and short... Read More centerpieces for our tables and made a centerpiece with manzanita branches (from which we hung little heart photos of us) which sat on the place card table. They made red rose pomander balls to hang from the chairs at the end of the aisle for our ceremony and it was Sarah's idea to re-use them for the reception, she brought them in and placed them in silver bowls at the head table. It was really great how she thought to re-use something, plus it saved on cost. We also used their arch for our outdoor ceremony and it was perfect!

Words cannot express the amazing Job Sara and her associates did on our wedding day. I gave Sara a picture of how I wanted my and the bridesmaid bouquet to look like and she hit it right on the nose.

Definitely loved them. A bit pricey...although cheapest out of the florists I looked at. But the flowers were absolutely gorgeous...they worked with me and my budget...Sara was fantastic!!! Would use them for any of my florist needs in the future.

Image modeling establishes the relation between an object and its image when an optical microscope is used to measure the dimensions of an object of size comparable to the illumination wavelength. It accounts for the influence of all of the parameters which can affect the image, and relates the apparent feature width in the image to the true feature width on the object. The values of these parameters, however, have uncertainties and these uncertainties propagate through the model and lead to parametric uncertainty in the feature width measurement, a key component of the combined measurement uncertainty. The combined uncertainty is required in order to decide if the result is adequate for its intended purpose and to ascertain if it is consistent with other results. The parametric uncertainty for optical photomask measurements derived using an edge intensity threshold approach has been described previously; this paper describes an image library approach to this issue and shows results for optical photomask metrology over a feature width range of 10 nm to 8 µm using light of wavelength 365 nm. The principles will be described, the 1-dimensional image library used and the method of comparing images, along with a simple interpolation method, will be explained, and results presented. This method is easily extended to any kind of imaging microscope and to more dimensions in parameter space. It is more general than the edge threshold method and leads to markedly different uncertainties for features smaller than the wavelength.

unusual things your dog enjoys to eat
Just gave Lara her monthly Heartgard...anddd she stared at me when done as if begging for more.
So glad we don't have to fight over this every month :apple: I know some dogs who hate Heartgard...
She also enjoyed lemon juice the one time it was on my fingers when I was baking (I know lemons are toxic - I was really surprised she didn't hate the sour taste O:)
Any things your dog enjoys that you would think he/she would hate?
Every-single-rock, lemon flavored things, and vinigar
Sent from Petguide.com Free App
Green tripe....sorry..from a human's perspective it's just perplexing to imagine them enjoying it so much.
Oh well, some dogs eat their own poop, so what do I know about a dog's palate...
These are more chew on and destroy than actually ingest but...
Toilet paper rolls, but not paper towel rolls.
Left socks, but not the right ones.
Fake plants, but not the real ones. (thank goodness!)
Tags on toys get played with before the actual toy itself does.
Silly boys.
He destroys a lot of stiff without actually eating it, like paper towels, toilet paper, any tag on anything.
He likes bananas and brussel sprouts.
Celery, romaine lettuce, eggshells.
The dog also loves drinks. She will actually sit and stare at you while you're having a glass of juice, root beer, ginger ale, vegetable juice, chamomile tea...whatever. And will happily drink any of it when it's offered.
I'm thankful she doesn't bother things that are inedible. But I haven't found a single food item that she won't eat.
Peanuts and pistachio nuts. Gypsy will sit and stare at you until you give her one.
He just ate some hummingbird cake. That will teach me to leave the leftovers on the table.
Bananas, apples, and bitter apple spray <--- ick. If you spray it somewhere he'll lick it.
Lisl likes apples, pizza crust, peanuts, pretzels, carrots, potatos, mushrooms, etc.
There's not too much she doesn't like. She isn't too fussy when it comes to food.
If papa's eating it, it must be good. :wub:

text: 3. The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner was granted permanent exemption from personal appearance by the Ld. MM vide order dated 19.05.2009, subject to the condition that the petitioner shall appear in person as required by the Court in "any proceeding" in the case. The requirement of "bail" do not form a part of the proceeding as contemplated by the Ld. MM. Drawing my attention to Form 45, it was submitted that the requirement of bail bonds is to ensure the presence of the accused in Court during trial, which in the present case, has already been dispensed by the Magistrate vide order dated 19.05.2009. In view of Section 205 CrPC, it is further submitted that, Crl.M.C. 1640/2011 Page 2 of 9 grant of bail or execution of bail bonds by the accused is not a sine qua non for the grant of personal exemption by the Magistrate. It was further submitted that, in view of the judgment of the Hon"ble Supreme Court in Bhaskar Industries Ltd. v. Bhiwani Denim & Apparels Ltd. & Ors, (2001) 7 SCC 401, the petitioner can be exempted from personal appearance even for the first appearance, if he is duly represented by his pleader. Further, even at the stage of the framing of notice under Section 251 CrPC, the Magistrate is empowered to record the plea of the accused when his counsel makes such plea on behalf of the accused in a case where the personal appearance of the accused has been dispensed with. In support of his contention, the learned counsel relies upon M/s Chowriappa Construction v. M/s Embassy Contructions & Development, 2002 CriLJ 3863, V.S. Reddy v. M/s Excel Glasses Ltd,. 2010 CriLJ 4171, S.V. Mazumdar & Ors. v. Gujarat State Fertilizers & Anr, (2005) 4 SCC 173, Sushil Kumar Gupta v. State of Jharkhand, 2005 CriLJ 440, VIshwa Nath Kiloka v. 1st Munsif Lower Criminal Court, 1989 CriLJ 2082, R.P. Gupta v. State of M.P., 2007 CriLJ 205, Ajit Kr Chakraborty v. Serampore Municipality, 1989 CriLJ 523, Helen Rubber Industries Kottayam v. State of Kerala, 1973 CriLJ 262. The sum and substance of the contentions of the learned counsel for the petitioner is that after the grant of personal exemption from appearance of the accused, the Magistrate becomes functus officio and cannot withdraw the exemption so granted and that the requirement of bail does not form part of proceedings within the ambit of Section 205 (2) or 317 (1) CrPC.

Toronto Ghost Stories: High Park
If you are interested in Toronto urban legends, then you'll be excited to know that a legend exists in High Park that is full of spooky historical details. If you aren't a fan of ghosts — don't worry! This legend, told by Edward Brown, is not based in the Junction and the ghost will not be bothering you at your beautiful Campbell Loft. So if you can't handle the haunted truth — then I suggest you stop reading now. For the brave Torontonians out there — this is the story for you!
The setting of this story takes place at High Park's Grenadier Pond, a 35-acre pond with a murky, muddy base. There are many different legends surrounding this pond's name and the most popular tale speaks of the deaths of many grenadiers who were in the Eighth Regiment of Foot, during the War of 1812. Apparently, several soldiers were pursuing American troops and fell through the ice on the pond to their deaths.
There was an edition of the Toronto Daily, from 1913, that describes the appearance of a phantom that arose from the pond. The phantom was mistaken for a cloud of mist and then towered above spectators. Some people even swear that they heard a loud groan from the pond. Although, a few weeks later, it was reported that these apparitions were caused by miscreants with flashlights and they were behind the haunting. Or were they…?
You can believe whatever you want to believe, but the depths of High Park's muddy waters contain a deep history and a haunted truth, that only the brave can handle. If you dare, take a walk to High Park's Grenadier Pond and see the truth for yourself.
There are no ghosts in our lofts — so after your haunted walk, take a tour in our Campbell Lofts and become comforted by your beautiful surroundings!

I own a 2010 Pilot Touring model with NAVI. Bought it in November 2009 and I just received a letter from Honda or someone offering an update to the Map for $185 with free shipping. When I go to their website, it doesn't look like a "good" site....not very straighforward anyway.
What have others here done about updating the NAVI system map data? Also are there more places to buy it than just from Honda and what is the cost, etc?
With the amount of money people pay for Navi system...honda should offer free life time map upgrade. Tomtom and Garmin offer free life time map upgrade and more for alot less money.
Also I can step off an airplane in to a rental car with my tomtom or garmin and not drive my pilot cross country and get lost with honda stock navi.
I think it sucks, that I bought a 2009 vehicle with Nav, and Hondas NAV didn't have a major interstate highway on it! (355 extension if your in IL).
Now, 355 extension was done prior to my wife and I purchasing our 2007 Acura RDX with Nav. We were OK with the RDX not having the new 355 extension, seeing as it had only recently been completed. (11-12-2007 completion)
Two and a half years later we traded the RDX on the Pilot, and we find out still no update shpowing the extension. We travel it daily, and it is so annoying when we are trying to use the GPS and it keeps rerouting you because it doesn't recognize us as being on a road.
This HONDA is unacceptable. When I buy a 2009 vehicle, and pay as much as I did for the NAVI upgrade, the map database should be current. No excuses.
I called, explained my story to Honda, they refused to do anything to help me, besides offer the disc to me at full retail price

Interested in running? We have two slots left!
Meet our runners and support them with a donation.
82,036 motivated runners were not selected in this year's drawing to run the TCS New York City Marathon on November 5th. But they still have a chance to participate!
Jericho Project, a 34-year old, nationally-acclaimed nonprofit organization ending homelessness at its roots, is offering compassionate runners a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity: run the TCS New York City Marathon to help end homelessness in New York City!
As an Official Charity Partner in the marathon, Jericho Project can guarantee entry for our runners. We will also provide individual and group training plans, Jericho Project gear, and the enthusiastic cheers of our staff and clients on race day. In return, each runner will raise as much money as he or she can (the sky is the limit; the minimum is $5,000), which will go directly towards Jericho's life-changing housing, employment, education, and health services for homeless New Yorkers.
Who are you fundraising for? Jericho Project served over 2,600 homeless New Yorkers in 2016. Roughly 500 of our clients were veterans, and almost 1,000 of them were children under the age of 18. We have also launched a new program that provides specific services to homeless young adults ages 18-25. 40% of this population identifies as LGBTQ.
How effective are our services? Jericho's services have a 95% success rate in keeping our formerly homeless clients stably housed. By addressing the root causes of homelessness, including unemployment and poor mental and physical health, we enable individuals to achieve long-term housing stability and self-sufficiency. Our services are also cost-effective, costing us roughly one-third of what taxpayers pay for temporary homeless shelters.
Register today! Don't miss out on the chance to run the race of a lifetime in a city-wide demonstration of solidarity and giving!

It doesn't get super cold her, but sometimes when wearing my Carhartt jacket I go to a shoulder holster. If I'm in a hoodie, I'll use an OWB. My real cold weather hunting gloves let me poke my trigger finger through the glove

For some of us this is the time of year that may dictate a change in our carry options. We may encounter extreame cold weather. How we carry our sidearm will, in some cases, have to change.
Most of us layer our clothing for cold weather. How then do we access our weapon? It may mean going from a inside waist band to strong or cross draw system. When wearing insulated bib overalls we may consider a shoulder holster. Some go to a outside jacket pocket system. Although less secure than other systems, it does offer quick access. Remeber to keep complete control of your coat at all times. When you go indoors you do not want to hang your coat with your sidearm in it anyplace that you can not fully control.
We also have to think about what we wear on our hands. In some cases mittens and some style of gloves will not allow us to get a proper grip, let alone have a good trigger stroke. Some types of gloves, if they are heavy duty, will cause the weapon to fire simply by inserting the trigger finger into the trigger guard. What you wear and how you will carry your weapon spare ammo should be tested throughly before you carry for real.

All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.
Here in Idaho, I am able to wear a fleece vest 6-8 months of the year. With that, my concealment problems go away. I carry OWB in appendix carry with the fleece vest zipped up a few inches to make sure the gun stays concealed. The vest has an elastic bottom making it very easy (with practice) to lift it up to access the gun and vests are commonly worn inside. A heavy winter coat does slow access a little. I would not try to use my Glock with gloves on, so those would get dropped immediately.

I've been down the same roads, and I usually will try to carry nearer to the outer layer of clothing, but still the draw isn't exactly what I would call fast. Better than leaving it at home or in the car but it's still a little slower than I prefer, and I hate shooting with gloves too:)
I did find that on some insulated pants they have the ability to reach through to pockets of your pants underneath, sometimes with a little prep you can pocket carry in your pants underneath and reach through to draw. It's a little slow, and watch out for anything that could snag(J-frame with standard hammer etc), because it's certainly more clothing to clear, and also make sure your pants pockets line up well enough and test the draw.
Good luck guys up in the cold weather;) I got lucky the last few years traveling with my wife, we're in Arizona for the winter:)
Take care!
I'll agree that Michigan is different in many ways for the temps. Clothing will make a difference, and your choice of clothing and carry need to interact. I carry according to conditions, and I also try to look into any conditions that I might be entering into. I'm liking my appendix carry option more and more as the cold season has finally made it here. I seldom zip up the front of my jacket. I have in the past thrown my G27 into a cover-all chest pocket. But I like you learn with every turn. You'll find it soon enough.
In real cold weather, I'm forced to wear my 'longer' shorts and an extra T-shirt, but my carry mode does not change.

basement floor problem
hello. I want to finish my basement but have run into a problem. Whoever poured the basment floor seemed to just slop it to the wall. The floor itself is fairly level, but the edges have a build up of up to four inches of roughly tossed concrete. How do I remedy this? Do I attempt to chisel it all out? Frame walls that float above the floor only attached to the floor joists? Help!
Any way you could post a picture?
Rent an electric jack hammer (cement breaker) that weighs about 100 lbs and break the cement you don't like. Replace with cement sand mix and you are done. Start Friday evening, be done by Sunday.
I've seen this and it's always irritating, the quik-fix( if the walls are non-bearing, I'm assuming it's concrete perimiter) attach the wall to the joists above. Two options: 1) attach a 2x4 run of pressure treated lumber to the foundation wall with glue and concrete nails/ or 3/8"x4" anchor bolts. The plate should be 1/2" above the floor, the wall at an 1" attach the wall to the plate w/A-35's 16" oc. 2) place a pressure treated 2x4 on your concrete floor, nail or anchor the leading edge in line with the floating wall, drill holes through the center of the bottom plate and drive spikes into the pressure treated 2' oc. The nail size will depend on your distance to anchor. Try to keepyour wall no more than an 1-1/2" above your plate!

There is a new fan film that will be presented at Dragon*Con called "Makazie One." They just finished up the trailer which you can see on YouTube here:
It's got Mandos and Troopers.... My buddy Clutch has been unusually tight-lipped about the movie, but promises it will involve more than just the battle footage seen in the trailer and that "Stormtroopers will finally be given the justice they deserve along with Mandalorians."
I'm looking forward to seeing it... How soon till DragonCon?

Get your cooking on ppl!! Just saw where there are a few food lovers on the forum. So lets see what you got!!:thumb02:
Made this the other night. Didn't have a pot big enough so had to make due! About 3 lbs of steak strips 5 lbs of beans, 5 whole tomatoes....well I cant give out all my secrets!:thumb02:
Thinking about entering a chilli cook off when I get home!
My favorite way of cooking - via grill :)
And the view from my appartment doesn't hurt either - I'll be throwing up some pictures of my favorite dishes and tips and tricks some time soon ;)
Man I miss grilling the most!! Ill see if I can find any pics of that too!!
Oh BTW, that previous picture is from august last year, it's far too cold to fire up the grill yet...
I just had the first beer of the year on my balcony though :) took a picture just for you guys :p
I fixed some meat and eating it as we speak. Didn't have time to take a picture though, i'm in a hurry and pretty much wasting time on this post as well. :D
Pics or it didn't happen!!

I love food. No, seriously, Luuuuuuvvvvvvv it. Most of the time I like to eat but to cook something new and awesome is always a challange. Had some pizza today, it was delicious. My favorite food is kebab in Stockholm, best thing ever :thumb02:
This thread has earned my approval.
I'm gonna upload some pics I took with my cellphone that has a crappy cam so don't judge my non-existent photography skills on them. Judge them by the fact I told you they don't exist.
Here they come...
Let's see if you can guess where this is going...
That's right...
And it was delicious. I know, it kinda looks ugly.
Some tiramisu to go along with the lasagna
Now for some pizza.
It's the only pic I have of it. It has a cheese-inside-bacon-outside crust. :)
And now the only burger pic I took because my fingers were too greasy to touch anything that night.
And last but not least, the most delicious thing we've cooked so far... chicken enchiladas.
SO FREAKING GOOD!!! And the stuff we had to buy to make them was only about 3€ per head.
This thread is going to be the doom of many members diets. I want motherf'n chilli now. Get that sweet ass over here G_Land. ;)
Here's a pic of what me and my friends cooked for new years!
We almost ate an entire cow (Well not really, but it felt like it) and it was awesome...
Two huge pieces of beef (Culotte, don't know if it's called that in English as well) Rubbed with salt and pepper, spread some chopped garlic on top and poured some red wine over it all and put those bad boys in the oven... It was beautiful :)

CANADA STOCKS-TSX little changed as energy gains offset by banks, miners
TORONTO, May 13 (Reuters) - Canada's main stock index was little changed on Tuesday as gains in shares of energy producers, following higher oil prices, were offset by weakness in the financial and materials sectors. The Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index was down 1.68 points, or 0.01 percent, at 14,653.26 shortly after the open. (Reporting by John Tilak; Editing by James Dalgleish)

Residential Land Values in Urbanizing Areas
Zoning decisions related to residential lot size and density affect residential land value. Effects of size on residential parcel value in Roanoke County, VA, are estimated with fixed effects hedonic models. Parcel size; elevation; soil permeability; proximity to urban areas, malls, and roads; and location influence parcel value, but the effects vary by value of construction and development status. Parcel value per square meter declines with increasing parcel size. The estimated relationships could be used to evaluate zoning decisions in terms of land values and tax revenues if model estimation uncertainties and responses by developers to zoning strategies are considered.

… well this was certainly quite a talky episode. I'll admit, this arc is a bit weak overall, especially after the hijinks of the first one.
No matter, seems like we have our next target for Koko's special attention.
This guy sure is madness to actually piss her off like that. Retribution will come painfully and slowly.

Hi All: my wife (past multiple Jeep owner) and I (farmboy gearhead) recently picked up our first Wrangler. Wanting a bright color, and under the unofficial rule that trucks and tractors should be some kind of red, we ordered a new Rock Lobster Unlimited Rubicon 6-speed in mid-April. We drove it home in mid-May.
We'll be keeping the modifications to a minimum as the Rubicon package provides much of what we'd want anyway, and this is our DD family car. We did "stubby" the front bumper and add .75" leveling spacers to the front spring pockets to eliminate rake. From the front, you can now see all of those wonderful 32" Mud Terrains.
So far, the doors and top have been off as much as they've been on and we're both very happy with our first "real" Jeep. The dealership did have to replace a power lock regulator that was bad from day 1 (causing intermittent locking/unlocking) although we took our time getting around to it as, again, the doors have been so frequently left at home. Spot mirrors on the vents (got the idea from this and other forums) have been OK as substitutes for real side mirrors, but a $12.99 motorcycle mirror in the door hinge has been even better. I might even buy one for the passenger side!
We're looking forward to learning and sharing with members of the forum as we enjoy all the aspects of these awesome vehicles.
To the forum members we met this last weekend at Rocky Neck: we enjoyed the cookout and the hospitality and most of all the great people and cool Jeeps. Can't wait to do it again.

IBM Users: ScicomP/SP-XXL Conference AnnouncementImportant dates:
Abstract submission deadline: April 28. This is today, so get busy or you'll be late. :-)
Early Registration Deadline: June 30.
This is a co-located meeting: ScicomP and SP-XXL run parallel, but separate, programs. For details:
About ScicomP ScicomP meetings target computational scientists and engineers interested in achieving maximum performance and scalability on all of IBM's HPC platforms. of IBM technologies
About SP-XXL The SP-XXL group is a membership-based organization with systems-oriented interests in large-scale scientific technical computing on IBM hardware. Members of SP-XXL work together to increase the capabilities of these machines and to provide guidance to IBM on essential development and support issues.
NCAR Command Language (NCL)
[ Thanks to Kate Hedstrom of ARSC for this article. ]
I first heard of NCL a few years ago when Dennis Shea and Sylvia Murphy came up to teach a class on it. The story goes that the climate department at NCAR was looking for a useful tool, something with the functionality of IDL, but without the stiff licensing fees. They were rather surprised to find that the visualization department downstairs had the tool that they finally chose - NCL.
The NCL home page is at http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/ , which has documentation, examples, and a link to the download site at Earth Systems Grid. The binaries are available for free for a variety of architectures, in both 32- and 64-bit versions. They do not provide source code because one person only knows how to get the libraries it uses to work together.
So what is NCL? It is a scripting language with a matrix syntax, it can make graphics, and it has a very nice interface to NetCDF and HDF files, and can even read Grib files. It is also extensible, being able to call C and Fortran routines.
To get started, I highly recommend the "Getting Started" section under http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Manuals/ . You'll also the reference manual there. NCL is available on the ARSC IBM and Sun Fedora Core systems and you will need to set the NCARG_ROOT environment variable to point to its home in /usr/local/pkg/ncl/current. (Note that this does not point to the latest version on the ARSC IBMs yet.)
So what's new in NCL? Well, last fall they brought out a new version which includes support for some command line parsing. Also relatively new is the ability for it to make contour plots of data on a triangular mesh. In this article I'll give an example of using the command line to pass the name of a file to process. I needed to extract information from hundreds of NetCDF files, so passed in the file name as an argument to ncl:
touch foo2 ncl 'dfile="nep4_001.nc"' ice_2.ncl >> foo2 ncl 'dfile="nep4_002.nc"' ice_2.ncl >> foo2 : ncl 'dfile="nep4_038.nc"' ice_2.ncl >> foo2 :and so on. Here, ice_2.ncl is the name of the ncl script I want to run, and its output is being sent to the file foo2. Internal to ice_2.ncl, it uses the variable dfile for the name of the datafile to open:
f = addfile (dfile, "r")It then extracts the variables aice, hice, and ocean_time from that file with:
x = f->aice h = f->hice time = f->ocean_timeNote that I couldn't get this to work with any other combination of quotes. An exercise for the reader would be write a shell loop to loop through all the files successfully. I got lazy and decided to just put all the ncl commands into a shell script.
Once this script was run, I used a perl script to extract the numbers from that foo2 output file, then as second NCL script to make a plot of the resulting timeseries of the ice extent and volume. NCL also has a version with Python built in for such string manipulation tasks, but I haven't yet learned how to use it. It is called PyNGL (pronounced pingle), described at http://www.pyngl.ucar.edu/ .
Book Review: "Wicked Cool Java"
[ Thanks to Lee Higbie of ARSC for another book review. ]
Review of:
Wicked Cool Java, Brian Eubanks, No Starch Press, $30 list in lie-flat paper binding.
(And two chances to win a copy--see below.)
"No Starch Press publishes the finest in geek entertainment" claims its web page. They also have one of the best titles in "Wicked Cool Java" and I recommend the book for its content.
Ten years ago, during the Java 1.1 era, Java programmers expected to know the entire language and all its packages or libraries. By Java 1.2, also called Java 2, this became difficult and I don't think it is possible since Java 1.3. We are now at Java 5.
In Wicked Cool, Eubanks mostly covers unusual new features of Java 1.4 and 5 and some of the obscure Java packages not documented at java.sun.com. Unfortunately, Eubanks does not always provide pointers to download sources when he mentions a package. There are pointers to all the libraries at www.wickedcooljava.com or you can google the package names.
Background first: in an HPC context, what are the applications for Java? I think its primary use is for GUIs, programs to allow users to access HPC programs in an intuitive fashion. In Java, such user interface codes can run on Windows, Linux, Unix or Mac with no problems. Some HPC platforms support Java, which may facilitate inter-platform operations. I know of no direct interface between Fortran and Java, but JNI provides the functionality. C-Java interoperability is well defined so Fortran <==> C <==> Java would be one way to directly interface Fortran and Java, if that is essential. Where I see Java being used it will read and create files that Fortran programs will create and read.
Some of the wicked cool features that Eubanks describes are new looping constructs and default operations in the basic language. New in Java 5, for example, are enum; for loops with listed index values; variable and generic procedure arguments; and a high resolution timer. All of these are likely to be useful for control systems.
Some of the packages he describes are the important new ones for regular expressions and new operations on strings. If I am correct about our applications of Java, then the regular expression operations are needed. My choice of Java has often been instead of Perl. I expect to use it more now it has the basic string functions that we need. Eubanks describes these string operations nicely.
Eubanks offers a useful chapter on scientific and mathematical applications. It describes packages for functors and one for inter-unit operation, that should interest all of us who have to deal with both metric and English measurements.
However, Eubanks reveals that he may be just a tad removed from high-performance computing, as he launches the chapter with this statement: "Amazingly, in some scientific communities the Fortran programming language still rules supreme (I know, it makes me cringe too)." In Fortran computing, where we all know speed is king and space is duke, or queen and duchess if you prefer, I tested Java on a single simple calculation, one of the 3D structures described in the CUG 2005 paper "Simple Loop Performance on the Cray X1." My results:
- The Java code would only run with grid size one fifth the size of the grid I used in Fortran and C.
- The Java code ran about one fourth as fast as the Fortran code for my test case.
For the record, this test case created only a single object so there were few of the typical object oriented overhead operations or data that would occur in most programs. And, as I said at the start, I do recommend this book.
I have two copies of Wicked Cool Java to give away.RAFFLE:
One copy will simply be raffled off. Send me an email stating you'd like to participate in the raffle and you'll be entered in the random drawing.CONTEST:
For the second copy, do either of the following exercises:
- Write an example of a Java code that can or could be used to control a Fortran program. The sort of thing I'd like is a GUI to select files or test cases, build the appropriate script to run the HPC program, etc..
- Test the performance of Java and C/C++ or Fortran on whatever type of operations you care to examine. In this context the "performance" includes the relative execution speed, size of problem that can be executed, and the development time, complexity, and maintainability of the code.
The deadline for all entries is 31 May, 2006. Send your contest or raffle entry to: higbie at arsc dot edu.
X1 Compilers on Skagway
We encourage all X1 users to check out the new X1 cross-compiler system, skagway, to compile codes for execution on the X1. Skagway provides:
- Approximately 10x faster compilation and linking of codes compared with the compilers on klondike.
Identical programming environment to the X1:
- "modules" command
- Cray compilers and libraries
- Cray man pages
- Linux OS and faster Unix/Linux utilities such as tar and zip.
- emacs, vim, vi. (Did I mention emacs?)
"News" items on skagway and the following document will help you get started:
Note: We'll be upgrading PrgEnv.new next Weds. The X1 compilers on klondike and skagway will be kept in sync.
Iceberg: Compiler Upgrades
On May 10th, the compilers on iceberg will be upgraded. The new versions are currently available via the "debug" class for testing.
Following the upgrade the compiler versions will be:
Compiler Version ========================== =========== C/C++ (xlc,mpcc_r,etc.) 220.127.116.11 Fortran (xlf,mpxlf_r,etc.) 220.127.116.11The current compiler versions are:
Compiler Version ========================== =========== C/C++ (xlc,mpcc_r,etc.) 22.214.171.124 Fortran (xlf,mpxlf_r,etc.) 22.214.171.124
For more information see "news compilers" or contact the ARSC help desk at email@example.com.
Quick-Tip Q & A
A:[[ I'm new to C programming and just discovered that you can't nest [[ comments.

Being that you are such an expert, than you already know that the run off is what they use to make the fuel.

Survivalists vs. Preppers
The other day someone wrote to me on another board:
Until about 2 days ago I had not ever heard the term "prepper" and don't know what the difference really is. Seems to me that one is a subset of the other rather than an entirely different thing, but I would be happier to have someone who understands that difference more deeply explain it. Care to do the honors
I replied:
I'm self-treating a self-diagnosed Carpal Tunnel Syndrome with a "Thumb Stabilizer" (wrist brace) and so have been truncating many of my postings of late. I touched on this subject in my novel TEOTWAWKI Beacon's Story http://desertdavesteotwawkisurvivalg...-part-one.html However I'll try to give you an explanation.
You are correct. "Preppers" are a reaction to "Survivalists". While I embrace "preppers" I eschew "survivalists". But how to tell the difference?
Years ago I was watching an interview with a self proclaimed survivalist on TV. As he talked about his guns a fly began buzzing around his head. Instead of trying to shoo it away with a hand he began snapping at it with his teeth. It took several tries but eventually he managed to catch the fly in his mouth and swallow it. He explained to the stunned interviewer that flies were protein and in a "survival situation" every gram of protein was precious.
Example #2
Years ago my wife and I began tentative talks with two other sets of people with regard to teaming up in case of a nuclear exchange between the USSR and America.
One guy turned out to be congenital liar and megalomaniac who planed to start his own tribe after the bombs fell. We distanced ourselves from him. The other seemed OK and we went so far as to buy a Ruger 10/22 with him at wholesale through a friend he knew. But then one day we drove up into the mountains and he showed me the local Boy Scouts camp. He told me once law and order had been bombed out he planned to come up to the Boy Scout camp, kill the camp's live in grounds keeper and set up, you guessed it, a community in the mountains with him as leader. We distanced ourselves from him too.
The term "prepper" hadn't been invented yet so I guess my wife and I were technically "survivalists" back then. But I didn't want any part of people like that and so made plans to go it alone if the need ever came. Fortunately it never did.
A "prepper" may have a bungalow in the burbs and vacation cabin in the woods. They'll have stocks of food and water and a few guns.
A "survivalist" has some food, a lot of guns and may have a bunker in the bush.
You probably know some "preppers" without knowing it. Telltale signs are always fully stocked cupboards, food stored in the garage and/or basement and maybe a 55 gallon water barrel.
If you know a "survivalist" he'll have shown you his gun collection.
When "survivalism" was big in the media a friend of mine (fellow prepper) knew a Sergeant on the local police force. My friend told me that when the subject of preparing for TEOTWAWKI (The End Of The World As We Know It) came up the cop had told him he intended to survive by taking what he needed for him and his family with his gun.
It's attitudes like that that cause "survivalists" to stock up on ammo and "preppers" to keep their heads down.
If properly stocked up you can feed your family for a year, your family and neighbors for a month and the neighborhood for a week.
Then what?
Getting back to your point, "preppers" probably split off from "survivalists" about the time "survivalism" became a hit with the media. Preppers just want to quietly prepare in case something happens.
Those people you see on Doomsday Preppers parading around with guns and gas masks seem to me to be more interested in garnering their 15 minutes of fame than surviving anything.
Of course you could argue that "survivalists" storing ammo are "prepping" too and that a "prepper" with a gun is a "survivalist" but I would argue that the difference is in the size of the food locker vs. the size of the gun locker.
I've got to stop now, my thumb is starting to hurt again.

I've always seen "prepper" as a kinder, gentler term to refer to survivalist since the media has worked hard to crucify us for several decades. Some people want to see a difference in the two terms. But I see them as one and the same. The differences I see are in how "survivalists" prepare. Some eat worms, some are ready to live in the sticks with nothing but a knife and a flint, others store food and grow gardens. All different facets of "survivalism" or as some called it "prepping."
Folks, when starting a thread, please take a moment and consider which forum that thread belongs in. Disaster Preparedness is for disaster preparedness discussions only. There are forums for gun posts, news, politics, general discussion, etc. Please try to start threads in the right forum. This makes the site better for all of us. Thanks.

A few psychos posing as survivalists doesn't make them all that way anymore than a hoarder is necessarily a prepper.
I don't think one is a subset of the other, really, but there is a lot of crossover. Personally, when I think 'survivalist', I don't think guns. Guns take ammo, have moving parts. Added complication. When I think of a survivalist, I think of basic rudimentary skills--firemaking, flintnapping, meat butchering--and basically living on renewable resources. When I think 'prepper', I think people who store gas, lighters and the like.

People use the words as they were the same. Even if they cut into each other, for me a survivalist is someone who collects and trains skills while a prepper is someone who collects food and other things. A survivalist will endure and use their skills in a creative way, while a prepper will hide and try to mimick everyday life on their preps.
I don't look down on "prepping" but I do look down on the prepper lifestyle, and I do not think we should use the word prepping instead of the word survivalism just because it sounds nicer. Survivalism is the broader term and it can include surviving in any type of scenario, it doesn't even have to be totally slanted towards an unknown future disaster. IMO survivalism is something that involves someone's personality, while prepping is for those who don't want to grow.
We need to reclaim the word survivalism.
Flame on.

Was Tim McVeigh a survivalist or a prepper? I don't wanna have anything in common with him.
To me, preppers are accumulating resources to see themselves through times of trouble.
Survivalists, on the other hand, are attempting to create a sustainable situation that will outlast the supplies of the prepper.
Obviously there's overlap, and I'm on my way to being as survivalist though I currently am mostly a prepper. I'd say I'm about 15 percent of the way.
|The Following 6 Users Say Thank You to goose3 For This Useful Post:
when i here the 2 terms this is what i think
Survivalist - Someone who has trained for a long time and has honed their skills to live off the land with minimal supplies, usually a loner with a very small group of people they plan to include in their group.
Prepper - Usually a larger group of people, but could also be a single family that plans on rebuilding a community to grow and harvest food either in the same location they now live, or a pre-determined bug out location. usually has a large amount of food, water, medical and other supplies stored for just in case events.
I do not include any negative ideas about either group, really to me the only difference is the survivalist could also be referred to as a minimalist, while a prepper could be more categorized as a farmer / rancher. i think both styles are admirable.

I believe they are two heads of the same beast. You prep in good times to become a survivalist when things go bad. Some are just more extreme than others but heading toward the same goal, surviving.

A survivalist is a prepper and vice versa. Both a trying to be sure that they and the people that they care about are able to care themselves should something happen that causes a significant impact on the normal everyday activities that we have all come to expect.
But he had a hatred that transcended any similarities.
|The Following 4 Users Say Thank You to zatoichi For This Useful Post:
We are all born with a genetic predsispositon to be a survivalist. The "survivalist" instinct is stronger in some people than others. This could be an effect of the way a person was raised, or learned through life experiences. Some people try to hedge their bets by prepping.
|The Following 3 Users Say Thank You to Tex For This Useful Post:
Survive means to:
1. Continue to live or exist, esp. in spite of danger or hardship.
2. Continue to live or exist in spite of (an accident or ordeal).
Prepare means to:
1. Make (something) ready for use or consideration.
2. Make (food or a meal) ready for cooking or eating.
So you would think a Survivalist was someone seeking to continue to exist. But instead most so identified individuals seem to have a death wish. Mainly anti-government types or worse. Heck, I have seen some say they would rather die than (fill in the blank).
Whereas the Preppers tend to follow the make ready definition. Though many seems to be making ready for a apocalypse rather than more common events. (most common events are well covered if you are prepared for a apocalyptic event).

Sad "Cant we all get along?" Naaaa
I believe that somewhere along the line (Ruby Ridge? Rambo? Waco?), through the media, the term Survivalist became synonymous with "Radical anti-government seperatist gun nut." The general public began to associate any one interested in firearms, hunting, and being capable of spending the night in the back country by themselves as being a "survivalist." People began to refer to themselves by more gentle terms like "outdoorsman" to avoid the media assigned stigma of the term "survivalist." The term "prepper" was probaly a more natural progression for those who live in a more urban enviornment who stock items in preperation for an event that could leave them without all their modern conveniences.
Just my two cents.

To me 'survivalist' from the 70s and 80s was advance bushcraft. Practicing your ability to survival in the wild with a knife and the clothes on your back. Now it has taken on a different tinge with people who drool over their guns.
'Prepper's are often seen as hoarders.
I prefer 'homesteader'. People who work toward living self-sufficient, sustainable lifestyles.
