Marvelous Moss
Moss stitch is very versatile, looking attractive in solids as well as multi-colored yarns. It's a great choice for men's scarves, since the texture is interesting without being too busy.
This pattern is perfect for beginning knitters. It's also great for mindless or meditative knitting. It's easily adaptable to many weights of yarn, so it's a good go-to pattern for making gifts.

It is interesting that we never hear about the physical and verbal abuses that took place in Catholic schools during the 1960s, '70s and '80s by some religious people who taught in the schools.
The Catholic Church buried its head in the sand during those times, acting as if these things did not occur. To say that this type of treatment of students was under the guise of "discipline" was wrong and it should have been stopped.
Students should have come forward if they were physically or verbally abused by these holy people. The reasons many of them did not was because they were afraid to — probably out of fear of retribution. There were many fine, dedicated religious teachers who also taught in the Catholic school system.
Those who were physically and verbally abusive were probably in the minority, but it only takes a few teachers like that to cause so much emotional scarring on students for the rest of their lives.
Shame on the heads of the religious orders who buried their heads in the sand and did nothing to stop this awful thing. Did they have a conscience?

I believe that it is well accepted in the public discourse that Gibson is a megadouche. After the release of the infamous tapes, a number of celebrities came to his defense (I'm looking at you Whoopi and you Jody Foster). According to the New York Post, Winona Ryder had a few choice words to say about Gibson.
"Black Swan" star Winona Ryder remembers Mel Gibson being "anti-Semitic and homophobic" long before his taped racist rants were broadcast across the world. "Fifteen years ago, I was at one of those big Hollywood parties. And he was really drunk," Ryder tells the January issue of GQ. "I was with my friend, who's gay. [Gibson] made a really horrible gay joke. And somehow it came up that I was Jewish. He said something about 'oven dodgers,' but I didn't get it. I'd never heard that before. It was just this weird, weird moment. I was like, 'He's anti-Semitic and he's homophobic.' No one believed me!" (source)
I found what Ryder had to say very interesting. In a group of his peers, Gibson had plausible deniability. The kinds of views that he has, rarely just develop suddenly and certainly are not repressed. Men like Gibson often give many clues as to who they are, long before it becomes an issues socially, that is if it ever does. Maya Angelou once famously said, "when people show you who they are, believe them the first time".We have a tendency to ignore a single comment or find an excuse for it, but in truth, such actions are indicative of a central belief pattern. An inebriated person does not suddenly shout out a homophobic or Anti-Semitic rant, unless such beliefs are deep seated.
Many people don't want to be saddled with label homophobe or Anti-Semite, as though the label in and of itself is more horrific than what such bigoted beliefs does to a marginalized section of society. We have a tendency to avoid associating people with labels we believe to be harmful, thus giving them a pass on their behavior. That this failure to label often benefits the dominant members of society is routinely ignored.
Isms exist because we continue to promote them both actively and passively. Mel Gibson continued to have a successful career, in spite of his beliefs, because people remained silent. We do not see silence as an action, but it is just as supportive of a negative behavior, as openly championing it. This is why it is so important to speak out when someone says something we fundamentally disagree with, or feel is truly harmful to another human being. It may mean being the unpopular voice of reason, but any discomfort we may feel, absolutely pales to the potential damage that is caused to marginalized bodies.
It is my belief that the degree to which someone believes in equality and or social justice, can be gauged by what comments or activities they allow to occur without comment. There is no such good thing as a good oppression, and no incident is to small to attack. None of us is perfect, but we must begin to dismantle the idea that there is any safe space for bigotry. Hate and privilege will continue to fester and grow, unless we yank it out by its roots. Calling someone out may not cause them to change their beliefs, but at the very least, it will make a space safer for marginalized people.

Erc / Azores: The 208 T16 And Abbring Miss Victory By Just Six Seconds
Posted by: newsla on May 18, 2014 - 07:06 AM
Erc / Azores: The 208 T16 And Abbring Miss Victory By Just Six Seconds As Lefebvre (208 R2) Claims 'Junior' Win
The island of Sao Miguel set the scene for an eventful weekend for the Peugeot Rally Academyâs trio. Irelandâs Craig Breen led after Day 1 but then retired, while Dutchman Kevin Abbring picked up the gauntlet to finish seconds short of first place as the 208 T16 collected its second ERC podium result of the year. French youngster Stéphane Lefebvre dominated the âJuniorâ battle in his 208 R2.
Craig Breen: down on luck
Craig Breen and his co-driver Scott Martin were second in the championship on their arrival in the Azores and they immediately eased into the lead on Thursday afternoon. Between them, the Peugeot Rally Academyâs two 208 T16 drivers won the rallyâs first nine stages as early rivals Kajetanowicz and Moura both disappeared after ripping off a wheel.
At this point, Breen narrowly led Abbring but the Irishmanâs run came to a halt after SS9, Fridayâs final test. He was unable to fire up his engine at the Stop Control after its coil leads had burned for a reason which has yet to be ascertained.
Kevin Abbring: in flying form
That left the winner of the 2013 208 Rally Cup in front and it looked as though the Dutchman and his co-driver Sébastien Marshallâs recent spell of ill luck was behind them.
Unfortunately, their chances of victory took a blow on SS10 when their power steering belt broke, most probably because of stone damage. Forced to run without power steering for the last two stages, they dropped 45 seconds to complete the day six seconds short of Sousa.
The crew also incurred a 10-second penalty for checking in one minute late after taking time to change the offending belt on the road section back to parc ferme!
Saturdayâs narrow, hilly stages saw Kevin and Sébastien resume their challenge as the battle continued to rage for the weekendâs victory. The Dutchman initially managed to reduce his 16-second deficit, but two small mistakes on SS13 saw him lose ground again. He then recovered to claim both SS15 and SS16 and close to within five seconds of the lead, but that was insufficient for him to steal the win.
Even so, second overall (+6.2s) was fine revenge for Abbring and his 208 T16 after his recent misfortunes. His performance was also rewarded with the weekendâs Colin McRae Flat Out Trophy.
Stéphane Lefebvre: âJunior Masterâ in the Azores
Stéphane Lefebvre has not disappointed in his 208 R2 after winning a budget for a 2014 ERC Junior Championship programme thanks to his victory in last yearâs 2013 208 Rally Cup. In the Azores, the Peugeot Rally Academyâs youngest representative and his co-driver Thomas Dubois left their chasers little chance, and even a puncture 1km from the end of SS8 failed to jeopardise their supremacy. By the end of the first leg, their cushion over Finlandâs Immonen, their closest rival, amounted to more than 1m36s, and they even posted an eighth best time overall in the wake of the championshipâs front-runners.
They continued at the same pace on the last day to deal their opponents a final knockout blow. Their surefooted performance saw them claim every stage to round off an excellent weekend on the Atlantic island.
The provisional Peugeot 208 Rally Cup leader combined what was probably one of his finest wins with an eloquent 10th place overall.
Driver quotes:
Craig Breen: âThe car is fast. I am pleased with the 208 T16âs speed, as well as with that of Scott and myself. The problem we had in Ireland is behind us. The trouble that halted us in the Azores was of a different sort entirely. I know that Peugeot Sport is already hard at work to make sure we donât have any more problems. The aim now is to beat Freddy Loix when we got to Belgium for Rally Ypres in June.â
Kevin Abbring: âOnce again, the team has shown the potential of the 208 T16. We led with both cars from the start. It was my first time in the Azores and, looking back at the weekend, I am pleased with my performance. We had bad luck with our drive belt problem yesterday and thatâs no doubt why we didnât win. I managed to fight back but I didnât succeed in recovering enough time. We are learning all the time and we are getting to know the car better and better. Iâm glad to have been as competitive as I was on my third competitive outing in the T16. Everybody worked so hard to make todayâs result possible.â
Stephane Lefebvre: âItâs nice to have taken the âJuniorâ win which has put me back in contention for the title. From the outside, it may have seemed easy but the stages were very difficult, especially in a two-wheel drive car.â
2014 Rallye Açores - final positions:
1, B. Sousa (Ford Fiesta). 2, K. Abbring (Peugeot 208 T16), + 6.2s. 3, J-M. Raoux (Peugeot 207 S2000), +7m51.9s. 4, R. Consani (Peugeot 207 S2000), +9m18.8s. 5, L. Rego (Mitsubishi Lancer Evo IX), +10m7.5s. Etc.
The next ERC outing of the Peugeot Rally Academy (Breen, Abbring and Lefebvre) is the Ypres Rally, Belgium, on June 19-21.

Zero offloading is similar to copy offloading, but while copy offloading is also available to Windows hosts, zero offloading is exclusive to VMware. Rather than require the ESX server to write zeros to storage blocks, such as when deleting a virtual machine, it can instruct the array to write those zeros for it. Again, the result is far lower ESX server CPU utilization and a quicker response.
Another VMware-only feature in version 5 is hardware-assisted locking. Normally, when VMware conducts certain operations -- such as powering a virtual machine on or off, executing a VMotion, creating a new virtual machine, or deleting a snapshot -- the entire VMFS file system is locked momentarily. When these actions occur sporadically, it's not much of a problem, but when there's a run on the VMware farm -- such as when a bunch of new VDI desktops are powered on -- it can create delays. In this new firmware version, EqualLogic arrays can lock only the blocks required to perform that operation, allowing the VMFS file system to continue to serve other requests. Thus, there are no delays felt by concurrent operations, which can help significantly when the file system is getting hammered.
Thin clones: Multiple volumes in one
Another new feature is thin clones, which provide the ability to clone a volume without consuming additional storage space. Thin clones can be made of any existing volume, though any volume used as a source for thin clones can no longer be accessed directly. The cloning process is very quick, as it's essentially creating a volume of pointers to the source, but otherwise thin clones function as any other storage volume. New data written to the clone inhabits its own space on the storage array, but reads from the cloned data come from the source volume.
Thin clones are ideally suited to use cases where a number of servers or desktops might share a common OS installation on a source volume, as the storage requirements for those systems become significantly smaller than dedicating a full volume to each. Thin clones also ease replication, as only the data written after the thin clone was created needs to be pushed to the replication partner.
Another use case might be large data sets found in development or read-only databases, where the source volume contains a fixed data set. A thin clone can be created for anyone who needs to work with that data without disturbing other processes that need to access or manipulate the same data.
Finally, a thin clone can subsequently be converted into a full volume, but that volume necessarily requires the full amount of space allocated to both the source volume and the data written to the clone itself.
EqualLogic Group Manager refresh
There are some cosmetic and usability changes in the new firmware as well, with the addition of quick-access view selection buttons in the bottom left of the EqualLogic Group Manager administration application. There's also context-sensitive help buttons, enhanced view modifiers, monitoring and event log updates, and a new alarms and operations bar at the bottom. While the overall look and feel of the GUI hasn't changed substantially, these new features are welcome and quite useful. Those with previous experience with the UI will find themselves right at home.
At the back end, there are other additions. EqualLogic has had support for Perl-based scripting through a telnet interface for a while now, and it has added support for Python scripting through an SSH-based interface. The two are exclusive, meaning you can't use Perl via SSH or Python via telnet, but providing the Python support does allow for broader, more secure scripting support.

SISSETON — Top-seeded Milbank gutted out a 37-27 win over second-seeded Webster Area to claim the District 2A girls basketball championship Thursday in Sisseton.
With the win, Milbank improved to 13-8 overall and will next face Aberdeen Roncalli in the Region 1A championship game Tuesday at 7 p.m. in Britton. Webster Area finished its season 12-7. Aberdeen Roncalli defeated Milbank 57-44 during the regular season.
Milbank jumped to a 12-7 first quarter lead behind eight combined points from senior guard Taylor Schulte and sophomore center McKenzie Mertens.
Eighth grade forward Haley Rithmiller logged six of her team-high 15 points in the second quarter to notch Webster Area a 15-14 lead at the 1:44 mark in the second quarter.
Milbank quickly regained the advantage (16-15) with a Cori Redmond layup at 1:16.
Milbank expanded the lead to four (19-15) early in the third frame before the Bearcats went on a 5-1 run that put them within one (21-20).
However, Webster Area was unable to pull ahead with the Bulldogs reeling off six unanswered points to up the their advantage to seven (27-20) — all but sealing the victory.
"We knew coming in that it was going to be a tough-fought game," said Milbank head coach Joe Frederiksen. "I thought we played really good defense and we took away what they (Webster) was good at and that was getting to the rim."
Schulte, Redmond and fellow senior Kendra Snaza paved the way for the Bulldogs with nine points each. Milbank overcame a poor shooting night (11-39 for 28 percent) by holding Webster Area to an even worse night (9-38 for 24 percent). Milbank's defensive prowess kept it in the lead the entire second half despite Webster Area's best efforts.
"I think we had some good leadership on the court tonight," added Frederiksen. "They were mentally strong and physically strong and I think that's what got us over the hump. We've been in some close games this season and those games paid off tonight."
In addition to Rithmiller, Lindsey Vogl chipped in seven points for the Bearcats. Webster Area, which fielded a starting unit comprised entirely of underclassmen, was ultimately hampered by its inexperience.
"We had a lot of young girls playing in a big time game and they were obviously a little nervous," said Webster Area head coach Jared Vergeldt. "Our defense was pretty good but it wasn't enough on offense. It was what it was."
Breanna Bullert 0 2-2 2, Lindsey Vogl 3 0-0 7, Jade Storley 0 3-4 3, Megan Nelson 0 0-1 0, Haley Rithmiller 6 3-6 15. Totals 9 8-13 27.
Tayla Schulte 2 4-4 9, Cori Redmond 3 3-4 9, Abbie Snaza 2 1-2 6, McKenzie Mertens 2 0-0 4, Kendra Snaza 2 5-5 9. Totals 11 13-15 37.
Webster Area 7 15 20 27
Milbank 12 16 23 37
Three-point goals — Milbank 2 (Schulte, A. Snaza), WA 1 (Vogl). Total fouls — Milbank 16, WA 12. Fouled out — None. FG Shooting — Milbank 11-39 (28 percent), WA 9-38 (24 percent). Rebounds — Milbank 30 (K. Snaza 6, Mertens 6), WA 25 (Rithmiller 8). Turnovers — Milbank 7, WA 11.

Prices to insure Apple shares from losses dropped to a one-year low after
Instead of increasing equity swings, Apple shares are almost unchanged since August 24, when Mr Jobs, who turned the company into the world's biggest by market value, resigned. Implied volatility for three-month options at the current stock price fell to 1.07 times the level of historic volatility, down from this year's peak of 1.9 in February. Options usually rise when moves in the underlying security increase.
Reduced costs for puts, or bearish bets, show the prospect of Apple without Mr Jobs as CEO isn't shaking options traders as investors focus on earnings and as analysts project record profits. Before, stockholders were concentrating on the health of Mr Jobs, who founded the company in 1976 and was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer in 2003.
"Apple is a company-specific story right now," said Lawrence Creatura, a fund manager at Federated Investors. "Regardless of any wave of pessimism that washes over the market, investors will look at Apple's destiny independently. Apple's been a good story that's only getting better at this stage, despite Steve Jobs' departure."
Apple spokesman Steve Dowling declined to comment.
Apple shares rose 1 per cent to $US379.74 through Tuesday after Mr Jobs quit, giving the company a market value of $US352.1 billion. Exxon Mobil was the second-largest corporation at $US345.9 billion, according to Bloomberg data.
Shares of the maker of the iPod, iPhone and iPad have gained 18 per cent this year, compared with a loss of 7.1 per cent for technology companies in the Standard & Poor's 500 Index. Tim Cook, the company's former chief operating officer who had been running day-to-day operations, succeeded Mr Jobs, who became chairman.
The stock's implied volatility has dropped 14 per cent to 35.72 from this year's peak of 41.71 on August 8, data compiled by Bloomberg shows. Sixty-day historical volatility has risen to 33.36, the highest since July 30, 2010, the data shows.
"The uncertainty hanging over the stock is removed," said Jack Ablin, chief investment officer for Chicago-based Harris Private Bank. "The best that Apple can hope for is more of the same."
The benchmark index for US stock options increased yesterday to the highest level since August 25. The VIX, as the Chicago Board Options Exchange Volatility Index is known, rose 9.1 per cent to 37 on Tuesday. The index measures the cost of using options as insurance against declines in the S&P 500, which lost 0.7 per cent.
The most-active contracts on the benchmark gauge of American equities were September 1,100 puts. The S&P 500 closed at 1165.24, rebounding from 1140.13 earlier in the day. The measure moved 2.9 per cent between its low and high points, compared with the 2011 average of 1.4 per cent, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
No matter how cheap its options, Apple's profit growth would slow and the shares would fall should the US enter a recession, said Flotilla Partners options trader and partner Ryan Baird.
The stock lost 57 per cent in 2008. The US, the world's largest economy, shrank 5.1 per cent from the fourth quarter of 2007 to the second quarter of 2009, the most during any recession since the 1930s, according to the US Department of Commerce.
"If the consumer dies, Apple could definitely break down," Mr Baird said. "The bull case is that it's probably going to go down less than its competitors, but if the market gets hit, Apple is going to get hit, too. In the financial crisis, we saw it get taken to the woodshed."
American employers added no jobs in August, the Labour Department said last week, and the Conference Board's consumer confidence gauge fell to the lowest level since April 2009. US gross domestic product will probably expand 1.8 per cent in 2011, according to the median forecast of 56 economists in a Bloomberg survey. That's down from an estimate of 3.1 per cent in January.
Apple said iPhone sales rose 142 per cent from a year earlier to 20.3 million in the quarter ended on June 25, while the number of iPads sold climbed 183 per cent to 9.25 million. The company will account for 74 per cent of tablet shipments this year as they rise to 60 million units in 2011 from 17.4 million in 2010, according to an August 24 report from IHS Inc's iSuppli, a research firm in El Segundo, California.
"Apple is not a company that's going to come out and set a bad forecast or guide lower," said Andrew Keene, an independent trader at the Chicago Board Options Exchange. "They don't have anything that can make the stock gap down."
Analysts project that the company will post 2011 profit of $US27.50 a share excluding some items, according to the average of 46 estimates in a Bloomberg survey. That would be the most since at least 1999. It has topped the average income projection for 26 straight quarters, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Apple's board ousted Mr Jobs in 1985 amid differences over strategy. He returned as interim CEO in 1997 to save the company from bankruptcy, introducing the translucent iMac computer in 1998, the iPod digital music player in 2001, the iPhone in 2007 and the iPad tablet computer last year.
The iPhone has become Apple's best-selling product. Buyers snapped up almost 40 million last year, accounting for 38.6 per cent of Apple's $US65.2 billion of sales in 2010.
Hewlett-Packard surrendered in its bid to compete in the tablet market against Apple. The world's largest computer company said on August 31 that it would produce a final run of its TouchPad. After announcing plans to stop making the device, HP cut its price to $US99 from $US499, a fifth the cost of the cheapest iPad. The final batch will be available in the fiscal fourth quarter, which ends on October 31.
Option prices for Apple are inexpensive relative to other technology companies. Three-month implied volatility for at-the- money options fell to the lowest in more than a year on August 31 relative to the Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund.
JPMorgan recommended buying Apple's December $US395 calls while selling December $US345 puts and December $US430 calls last week, a strategy that profits most if the shares close above $US430 at expiration. The New York-based firm, which rates Apple an "overweight" with a 12-month price estimate of $US525, said Mr Jobs' resignation created an "attractive" entry point, according to a report.
"Apple always seems to be the one resilient company and it's because of their innovation," said TradeKing options analyst Brian Overby. "It's always coming up with innovative new products. It's a neat and flashy company – and people just like Apple."

Utopian Enterprise: Articulating the Meanings of Star Trek's Culture of Consumption

In this article, I examine the cultural and subcultural construction of consumption meanings and practices as they are negotiated from mass media images and objects. Field notes and artifacts from 20 months of fieldwork at Star Trek fan clubs, at conventions, and in Internet groups, and 67 interviews with Star Trek fans are used as data. Star Trek's subculture of consumption is found to be constructed as a powerful utopian refuge. Stigma, social situation, and the need for legitimacy shape the diverse subcultures' consumption meanings and practices. Legitimizing articulations of Star Trek as a religion or myth underscore fans' heavy investment of self in the text. These sacralizing articulations are used to distance the text from its superficial status as a commercial product. The findings emphasize and describe how consumption often fulfills the contemporary hunger for a conceptual space in which to construct a sense of self and what matters in life. They also reveal broader cultural tensions between the affective investments people make in consumption objects and the encroachment of commercialization.

A question about this...I was under the impression that a
transparent firewall had no IP address? I understand one can use the
firewall rules to block all WAN/OPT traffic to the m0n0wall but it still
"officially" needs a WAN IP. As others have mentioned it is possible to
manually edit the config file to remove the WAN IP and boot a
functioning m0n0wall, but the GUI doesn't seem to allow this.

Californians Agree About Wealth Divide, Disagree About What to Do About It
Here in California, most of us agree the divide between the rich and poor is getting bigger. A look at new poll this morning suggests that's where agreement stops.
This Field Poll not only finds a majority of Democrats are not happy about what is seen as a disparity in wealth distribution, but also show most Republicans are not that worried.
But there's a big difference in how California-born voters in the survey view the situation compared to those who are foreign-born.
Californian natives are concerned about the financial divide but don't want the government to get too involved in redistributing wealth.
Foreign-born immigrants aren't as worried about the haves and have-nots, but do think the government should do something.

I agree with Steve W. It all goes back to the risk/benefit ratio. It is difficult to draw conclusions when the risk stretches out over many decades. I understand that there is some concern over nonsmokers, particularly kids, starting with e-cigs. We all do stupid things, especially when young. I suspect that a very high percentage of people who start with e- cigs were inevitable smokers to begin with. Nicotine has inherent risk, but I have read for years of a myriad of carcinogens produced by the combustion of tobacco. Most of the debate as focused on the nicotine present in e-cigs, but never mentions what is not present in e- cigs. There appears to be a rush to judgment based on retrospective data, and some tainted by investigator bias. Well said, Steve W..

Erythrina lysistemon is a lovely, small to medium-sized, deciduous tree with a spreading crown and brilliant red flowers. It is a handsome tree at any time of the year, and its dazzling flowers have made it one of the best known and widely grown South African trees.
This is a stocky, thickset tree that often branches low down and usually grows up to 10 m in height, occasionally reaching 12 m. The bark is smooth and dark gray to gray-brown and is not thickly corky. Short, hooked prickles are sparsely and randomly scattered on the trunk and branches. The leaves are trifoliolate (compound leaves with 3 leaflets), and each leaflet is large, usually up to 17 x 18 cm. The petiole, rachis and the midrib have hooked prickles on them. The common coral tree blooms in early spring (from August to September) and it produces its flowers before its new leaves or just as the leaves begin to show.
Flowers The flowers are a beautiful clear scarlet and are carried in short, dense heads, about 9 cm long, on long, thick stalks. The standard petal (the large uppermost petal) is long and narrow and encloses the other petals and the stamens. The flowers produce abundant nectar that attracts many nectar-feeding birds and insects, which attract the insect-feeding birds as well.
The fruit is a slender, black pod that can be 15 cm long and is sharply constricted between the seeds. The pod splits while still attached to the tree to release bright red 'lucky bean' seeds.
Erythrina lysistemon occurs in a wide range of altitudes and habitats from North West Province, Limpopo (formerly Northern Province), Gauteng, Mpumalanga, through to Swaziland and KwaZulu-Natal, and down to about the Mbashe River Mouth in Eastern Cape. Further north in Zimbabwe, Botswana and Angola it occurs in small pockets. It grows in scrub forest, wooded kloofs, dry woodlands, dry savannah, koppie slopes and coastal dune bush and also in high rainfall areas.

Subject: [htdig3-dev] Re: Architecture overview
From: Geoff Hutchison (firstname.lastname@example.com)
Date: Sat Feb 26 2000 - 12:45:19 PST
I promised that after 3.2.0b1, I'd start writing some architecture
overviews. This is the first installment--I'll post them to the list
and then add them to dev.htdig.org. I hope other developers will
write a few themselves, and I'd love feedback on these--are they too
broad, too specific, should I use code examples, etc.?
Overview of htdig: Indexing in General
Let's start off with an overview of what happens during indexing. I'm
obviously not going to go into gory detail, at least in this
installment, but I'm going to give a rough overview including the
classes called and the calling sequence. With the recent questions about
performance in the 3.2 code, I'm going to mention some particular areas
that I know are holding things up.
Obviously the indexing starts with htdig/htdig.cc, the main
program. This has a variety of command-line options, but the basics
remain the same. The program starts by loading the config file,
setting up a few program-wide variables like the Configuration object
and loading the initial list of URLs to be indexed. This list can now
come from many sources, including a file specified on the command line
with -m, STDIN, the traditional start_url, and any URLs left in the
log file, if started with -l. (At this point, we may want to make the -l
flag obsolete and make this the default behavior. After all, it seems many
people expect they can kill the indexer and still have usable databases.)
This initial list is passed off to a new Retriever object, which runs the
whole indexing process. The Retriever creates a Server object for each
new server--this counts the first portion of the URL, including:
The Server object is responsible for keeping its own queue of URLs to
be indexed, the current state of the Server and a few other
features. When created, it first grabs the appropriate robots.txt file
if the Server represents an HTTP or HTTPS protocol. Internally, the
Servers keep the queue of URLs as an HtHeap, otherwise known as a
priority queue. The priority is based first on the hopcount, ensuring
that htdig performs a breadth-first search and accurately represents
the hopcount of each document.
After the Retriever builds up its list of initial URLs, it enters into
its Start() method, a loop until all active servers have emptied their
queues of URLs. When it gets a URL, it first checks to see if it has
it in the database already. If it does, it uses the date to send a
Last-Modified-Since header to avoid wasting packets (and time!). If
not, it creates a DocumentRef for it. Unfortunately, this check is SLOW--it
must first look up the URL in the db.docs.index file and then retrieve the
document itself. One way to speed up initial indexing would be to use an
Exsits test to simply know if this is a new document. Also, keeping the
URL->DocID list in memory somehow would greatly speed things up.
At this point, the Retriever passes control over to another singleton,
the Document class. In some sense, this class serves as a jump-point
for other classes. If the URL has a local_urls rule, the Retriever
calls Document::RetrieveLocal, otherwise, the Retrieve method decides
which Tranpsort object is appropriate based on the URL scheme. After
the file is transferred, the Document class creates an appropriate
Parsable class to parse the document. These Parsable classes report
back to the Retriever, calling various got_*() methods, which the
Retriever uses to fill in the appropriate fields in the file's
Obviously there are two fairly important methods, got_word and got_href.
The former sends a word off to the word database (which I'll skip for now)
with flags set for the appropriate context of the word. The latter is
obviously the key part of indexing. First off, the URL is normalized and
checked against the various limits to make sure it's a valid URL to be
Next the URL is retrieved from the document DB again (remember that slow
URL->DocID lookup?) and either a new record is created or the old document
is updated with a new backlink. Finally, the method calls Need2Get to see
if the document has been retrieved and pushes it to the appropriate server.
The Need2Get method simply checks the URL against a hash table, but the
visited hash table will obviously grow quite large--we should probably come
up with a more efficient data structure and/or pass it off to disk.
Obviously the process repeats itself until all the URLs have been indexed.
I'll pick up next time with an overview of htsearch, the flip side of this

Have Relationship Questions? Ask a Counselor for Answers ASAP
You really have to explore what has made this change. Did the wedding trigger some old fears or concerns that she has from her past. This seems very sudden and sometimes people react differently to being faced with marriage or divorce. She is the only one that can identify what was the trigger. Being defensive does not allow for that discussion to happen. If she has fears that your relationship will become like her last then you have to both find a calm atmosphere and talk about that. She has these fears and she has to share them with you to find a solution. Just talking helps one to hear what those fears sound like and then learn that they are irrational. If you want her to meet you halfway you have to have discussions that promote that. Tell her you are ready to talk and realize that it has to be settled between you. You can't change her but you can get her to feel that you are genuine in resolving this.

8+5 and no heartbeat - I now need to decide what to do(14 Posts)
Thank you for all your advice. It gives me comfort that everyone on here is so honest and kind. I opted for the tablets in the end, as I didn't eant to go under genetal anaesthetic (only option) so will update once it's all over x
I also went through this in December. I chose to have the tablets, unfortunately for me this resulted in massive blood loss which I was lucky to survive from. I ended up with an emergency d & c and a 3 pint blood transfusion. This apparently is extremely rare but I think if you go for a d & c it is done in a more controlled way and you are in the best place if complications arise. Wishing you well x
Hello, im also new to posting on forums! I'm sorry to hear about your loss, i have also gone through the same thing. I started to bleed at 12 weeks, had a scan and found no heartbeat. Also my first pregnancy and being a 'younger' mummy to be i found the choice really hard.
2 days ago, i went ahead to have a D&C, i feel as this was the best choice for me. Although i was frightened
I bled for two weeks before discovering the baby had no heartbeat and i felt my body would take a long time to naturally miscarry, and in all honestly i didn't want to be waiting for the time to come when my body discards of everything.
It was pain free, and i came around from the op within 30 mins and was home within hour and half. I had no pain, and bleeding was very minimal although i was told i could bleed a week or so after. Now, as hard as it sounds both me and my partner can move on, and hopefully try again within the next few months!
i wish you all the best, in which option you choose. X
Hi, sorry for what's happened iamlouie. I went for an early scan at 8 weeks a fortnight ago (first pregnancy) and was told that there was no heartbeat. I opted to have an ERPC with local anaesthetic, but had to wait a week for a free slot to have it. Worst week ever, but with hindsight it probably helped me start coming to terms with the emotional side of the loss.
I was petrified during the week that I would miscarry naturally, and was relieved to make it to the ERPC which was carried out by a very competent consultant at UCLH. I had very little bleeding or cramping post procedure, although a bit more on days 4-7 afterwards, it's now stopped completely.
The ERPC itself wasn't painful, but the little balloon thing they'd inserted to open up my cervix on the morning of the procedure hadn't really worked, so when they had to get in through my cervix it was pretty uncomfortable (worse if you've never had kids, reminded me of having my coil fitted). I'd probably opt for a GA if I have to go through it again, although the nurse, midwife and consultant were amazing and very kind, and my partner was there throughout to hold my hand.
I hope it goes as smoothly for you, whichever option you decide to go for.
I've just had a miscarriage at 8 weeks after bleeding and after a scan showed no heartbeat. i was not offered tablets or ERPC and went home to miscarry naturally. its been fine and I've been mostly able to carry on as normal. i have given birth twice so that might mean my uterus is a bit more efficient at ejecting stuff. I was also alarmed by some of the stories on here but just to let you know some people obviously have it 'easier' than others. I have a scan next week to check everythings gone. hope things work out for you.
I'm so sorry to hear you're having to go through this - it is awful and I think the shock was the worst for me, at least for my first mc - I took the tablets and I wasn't in much pain at all but ended up back at the hospital with heavy bleeding - paracetamol got me though it but the bleeding gave me fright although it did quickly settle after they gave me the 2nd tablet.
For my 2nd mmc I had an erpc and it was scary waiting for the op but over in a flash with only very minimal bleeding after - I would say I found tht the least traumatic, but of course these procedures do carry a potential risk - it is a hard decision and you must give yourself plenty of time to grieve afterwards too (even if others might seem to feel you have had a long time!) <hugs>
Really so sorry to read this. I am going through a miscarriage now, pregnancy ended at 6 weeks, found out at 8 weeks, bleeding only started a week ago at 11 weeks so it's been a long wait and I'm still waiting.
My doc wasn't keen on me having an ERPC and prescribed me misoprostol on Friday as scan showed sac still there, but I haven't filled the prescription and am going to wait another couple of weeks and reassess. Sorry that's not much help, but each situation is so different. Maybe wait a little while, I do think natural is easier on the body, or if you can't handle the wait, maybe go for an ERPC. I've read horrible stories about the misoprostol which have scared me off it.
I had a D&C 6 years ago and recovery time was quick. I got pregnant again soon after and now have 2 DS's. Wishing you all the best. x
I'm so sorry for your loss. I had a similar situation with my first pregnancy. I opted for the EPRC as I wanted it over as quickly as possible. I had a later pregnancy which mc naturally at a similar stage and I found this more shocking to deal with as I saw the remains of the pregnancy when it was passed. I found this hard to cope with, so would chose the EPRC if it happened again.
Do look after yourself xx
I'm so sorry, I've had 3 mc, 1st time I opted to wait and mc naturally but after 3 weeks I had virtually no bleeding i had the ERPC, was fine no pain and at least the waiting was over, 2nd two times I opted straight away for ERPC, I just wanted the physical part to be over quickly, it's a hard decision to make, take care xx
I'm really sorry for your loss.
My hospital offered me all 3 options, but advised that D&C could be the best for me as I live an hour from A&E if the bleeding became heavy. If I took the tablets then they would admit me as a day patient.
I've had 2 d&cs now - the first was fine, the second I felt really rough and had to stay overnight. But in both cases the bleeding afterwards was very light.
Take care, and make sure you take plenty of time off - with my 3rd MC my dr signed me off for a month without even seeing me.
Hi, so sorry this has happened to you.
I have waited for natural miscarriage in the past and it was 5 weeks before anything happened. Don't mind telling you, the wait was torture.
I have also taken the tablets, much quicker but very painful. I had strong painkillers prescribed. (I've had lots of miscarriages)
I would definitely recommend that you ask for these as paracetamol may not touch the pain.
Take time off work, have good people around you and give yourself lots of time to recover.
All the best x
Iam, so so sorry to hear your news
With my previous miscarriages I waited for them to happen naturally, but I think it is very hard to advise someone else.
Be kind to yourself, and give yourself time and space to grieve for your baby. I will be thinking of you.xx
I am so sorry to hear that, you must be devastated.
I haven't been in your position but I did have to have a termination for medical reasons back in March at 16 weeks and so I took the tablets. The pain wasn't too bad but it did take a few hours to pass the pregnancy.
Friend's sister had a blighted ovum and she had a D&C and got pregnant shortly after, she now has two sons (age 2 and 1).
I would have liked the option of D&C if it had been allowed (I was too far along) but obviously the choice is very personal and you have to do what suits you.
Thinking of you at this difficult time. Take care.
Hi everyone, this is my first time on here, but I could do with some advice. After bleeding heavily I went for an early scan this morning where I found out there was no longer a heartbeat (all fine 2 weeks ago). I left very upset with 3 options 1) wait for a natural miscarriage 2) tablets 3) d&c. I know noone can tell me what's best for me, but I was initially thinking that if I took the tablets, at least I would know when it would happen. Then reading through some of these posts it makes me very nervous knowing how painful and lengthy the process could be. This is my first every pregnancy. Any stories / advice would be appreciated x

This review is from: SAMSUNG 840 Pro Series 2.5" 512GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) MZ-7PD512BW
Pros: I now have 3 of these drives (all are the 512GB drives) in 3 different systems. All are performing very well and the desktop is showing a 7.9 on the windows scale.
But the real story is what happened after replacing the boot drive with the 512GB version in a aging Lenovo T500. While I do not normally care about boot times lets just say I really noticed the improvement. From minutes (a few) to seconds more than a few less than 45.I then measured some applications, I am running SQL 2008 on this machine and the primary application is to evaluate Mainframe Computer performance. After building a new database on this machine using the SSD I measured the time difference to run a complex query. The baseline was against a Dell (6410 not the same I know but very similar in capabilities including processor) except the dell had a standard HD. The time to execute the query on the Dell was 365 seconds on the ThinkPad with the SSD 38 seconds, needless to say I was very happy. My expectation is that the ThinkPad time would have been similar to the Dell prior to this SSD. This is based other comparisons previously measured. I then ran a excel spreadsheet with what I describe as my macro from H*ll (a macro written by someone who does not write many macros). This macro runs over 100 SQL queries populates up to 104 different tabs on the spreadsheet and creates a PowerPoint and Word document. The speed difference was over 10 minutes needless to say saving this amount of time on a single task translates directly into productivity. Now I have less time to surf the net on the desktop while these things are executing.
Summary took a machine I was considering replacing and now it is a work horse for me. Truth is I now have a new W530 and have ordered another of these drives to replace the stock SSD in the W530 and I have not yet even powered on the W530. That is how much I have come to love these drives. The T500 is still going to be used as my Test and Development machine checking out SQL 2012 and some new tool kits. It is the newer Dell 6410 that has been replaced.

This review is from: VANTEC NexStar NST-D400SU3 Plastic 2.5" & 3.5" White SATA USB 3.0 & eSATA Dual Bay SuperSpeed Hard Drive Dock
Pros: I needed a external toaster device that could handle more than 1 drive (in my case 2 2.5 drives), and this fit the bill exactly. I am connected to an E-SATA port not USB. My machine is USB challenged in that I have USB 3 ports but they do not work very well, so I stat away from them. The E-SATA card is also from Vantec so I expected it to work and was not disappointed. Performance is as I expected.

Attempting to avoid their 8th consecutive loss, the Timberpups returned to the Target Center without their star Kevin Love, who after suffering a mild concussion and strained neck last night in Denver was unable to make the trip home. With Love sidelined indefinitely, the Pups simply did not have the personnel to match up effectively against an extremely deep Clippers team. Despite owning a one point advantage after one half of play, Lob City eventually pulled away in the second half and defeated the Timberwolves 95-82.
With only 10 able bodies for Rick Adelman to work with, this was an unlikely win from the start. At halftime, the T-Wolves led the Clippers 48-47. The Pups outshot the Clips 53% to 42%, thanks in part to JJ Barea, who recorded a double-double with 10 points and 10 assists in the first half, making it the fifth time in Timberwolves history that a player recorded 10 points and 10 assists in a single half. Barea and Pekovic thrived on the pick-and-roll game and the Clippers seemingly had no answer for it all half. The Wolves did a good job of shutting down Blake Griffin in the paint and held him to 4-9 shooting while stuffing him twice. However, the second half was a different story. Beginning with a 7-0 Clippers run right out of the gates, the Wolves were never able to gain back control of the game from that point on and lost their defensive intensity that they displayed in the first half. By the fourth quarter, the Pups were playing with little to no pride or accountability on the defensive end and committed countless mental mistakes that Minnesota fans were so accustomed to watching last season.
After a fantastic first half, Barea had a tumultuous second half and failed to record another point while only tallying 1 more assist. In 31 minutes of play, the sparkplug PG committed 7 turnovers and 4 personal fouls, and he got so concerned over the officiating that he took himself out of the game mentally and really hurt the team. Barea was signed in part to bring veteran leadership and composure in the face of adversity, yet he pouts to officials arguably more than anyone on the team and lets his emotions dictate the way he plays the game. Backing up Barea was Malcolm Lee, and he had a solid but quiet night. Lee was active on the defensive end and worked his tail end off the entire game, and for that I have the utmost respect for him. Whether the game was separated by 2 points or 20, Lee is earning his minutes and does not allow himself to give less than 100% every time he steps onto the floor. The intensity that Lee plays with on both ends of the court is exactly what you want to see out of players, and instead of yapping at officials for missed calls he keeps his head down and shuts up.
Coming off of his season-high 28 point performance last night, Anthony Randolph came off the bench and delivered with 16 points on 7-12 shooting. AR-15 recorded 3 more blocks and 9 rebounds and played tough interior defense. He is still very raw and immature as a player, but man he has all the physical tools necessary to be a good PF in this league. This is going to be a big offseason for Randolph, as he is set to become a restricted free agent and has a few more weeks to prove his worth to everybody. One thing remains crystal clear: for AR-15 to take his game to the next level, he needs to beef up. Although he has been in the NBA for 4 years now, Randolph has yet to put on significant mass despite possessing a good frame to do so. The combination of length and athleticism make him a scoring threat, but his lack of mass allows him to get tossed around by SGs and SFs as well as PFs and Cs.
On the note of unfulfilled potential, Wes Johnson had a cold shooting night and converted only 1 of his 6 field goal attempts in 31 minutes of play. Wes looked awkward and hesitant on the court once again and was an easy guard for Caron Butler. Yet again getting the start at SG, Martell Webster had a neutral performance of 10 points and 5 rebounds in 34 minutes of play. The problem concerning Webster is not what he is doing wrong, but it is what he is not doing. Webster seems to have fallen into the same mindset that Wes possesses and hesitates at open driving lanes and refuses to let loose in one-on-one situations. He has lost his swagger that he had for some time last season, and there is no doubt that he has a lot more to give to this Pups team.
In K-Love's place, Derrick Williams got the start coming off of his season-high 27 point performance last night. Things went from bad to ugly for the rookie out of Arizona, as he was out of control off of the dribble and unable to get separation from his defender in order to get good shooting looks. Going up against a solid defensive Clippers frontcourt, D-Will's moves were predictable and defenders were able to time his shot attempts well, helping to hold him to only 4 points on 1-7 shooting. On top of that, D-Will committed 4 turnovers and 5 personal fouls in his 26 minutes of play, and Coach Adelman was noticeably displeased by the rookie's play tonight.
Playing with bone spurs, Nikola Pekovic was able to provide 33 minutes of action and recorded 17 points and 6 rebounds. However, Pek was vastly more effective in the first half than the second mainly due to the success of the pick-and-roll game with Barea, but the offense deteriorated and the Clippers defense anticipated Pek's shots well.
Lastly, Michael Beasley was Michael Beasley tonight and scored 14 points on 6-15 shooting while grabbing 10 rebounds. Super Cool Beas was very active on the glass, but was sloppy when dribbling the ball which led to 3 turnovers. Beasley has gotten away from driving to the rim and is relying on poor shot selection in order to score. Anthony Tolliver saw only 11 minutes and scored just 2 points.
- Key Player: Despite missing a wide-open fast break dunk to the fans amusement, Blake Griffin exploited the Kevin Love-less Timberwolves to avoid a season sweep. Griffin finished with 19 points, 13 rebounds, and 5 assists.
- Key Stat: The Pups committed 17 turnovers compared to just 9 for the Clippers. Carelessness with the ball continues to be a major problem for a squad with only 2 healthy ball handlers.

When the stranger with wild hair and wilder eyes plunged a knife into the young woman's chest outside a Wal-Mart, screaming as he continued stabbing, she thought she was going to die.
In that terrifying moment, the 22-year-old victim didn't know much about mental illness or the delusions that whipped Sean Clifton, a local oddball in Cornwall, Ont., into a violent frenzy.
When he was found not criminally responsible and sent to a mental hospital, those close to his victim wanted to know why he wasn't going to prison.
She has an answer for them now: "He was very ill."
"I can't imagine in a daily life having to go through all that," she said in a recent interview.
"So I understand that why that happened to me that day was because he was sick. It wasn't personal, it was just being there at the wrong place at the wrong time."
While the woman who gives her first name as Julie no longer lives in fear, enough trauma lingers from the attack 13 years ago that she does not want her last name used.
Remarkably, though, she feels no anger toward Mr. Clifton. In fact, she feels empathy for the man. She is angry, however, at the mental health system that failed to catch him on his downward spiral.
Julie has been given a glimpse into the life and mind of her mentally ill attacker that most victims, and the general public, rarely get.
Mr. Clifton, 46, is at the centre of a new documentary, NCR: Not Criminally Responsible, which illustrates an often misunderstood system now under scrutiny due to some high-profile cases and changes proposed by the Conservative government.
The film, from Emmy-winning Canadian director John Kastner, shows the process people go through from the time of an NCR finding to their release into the community.
In an interview with The Canadian Press, Mr. Clifton reflected on his life before and after the stabbing, on his anxieties about how he will come across in the film and on the politics of the issue. He hopes the documentary helps destigmatize mental illness.
Mr. Clifton was sent to the Brockville Mental Health Centre in Ontario in 2000 after his NCR finding, which meant his mental illness rendered him incapable of knowing what he did was wrong.
With a dual diagnosis of obsessive compulsive disorder and schizophrenia, Mr. Clifton was one of the sickest patients the staff had ever encountered, they say in the documentary.
After years of treatment he is capable again of rational thought, of reflection and of remorse. He has rediscovered old interests and is an avid CBC radio listener, eager to discuss the news of the day.
He lives in Brockville, closely monitored under strict conditions from the hospital. He says he is no threat.
"I had a crazy compulsion," Mr. Clifton says. "It was a … break with reality, but I think I'm getting back to where I was before I went insane, with the help of the medication, I guess."
Mr. Clifton wants to debunk the misconception that not criminally responsible verdicts flood the streets with the criminally insane soon after their trials.
"It's been a very slow, gradual process," he said. "They've been very cautious. I have not shown any violence since my index offence, but every review board I have, they mention I'm a threat to society or something."
Those found not criminally responsible are managed by review boards – independent tribunals made up of at least five people, including one psychiatrist.
Each year, people in most NCR cases go before their province's review board, which can order that they remain in hospital, with varying levels of privileges, release them on a conditional discharge or order an absolute discharge.
Absolute discharges are granted only when the board finds the person is not a "significant threat" to public safety.
Few NCR cases get an absolute discharge at the first hearing, according to a government-commissioned study of review boards in Canada between 1992 and 2004. About 35 per cent of people in NCR cases spend more than 10 years in the system, the study found.
Mr. Clifton is one of them. At his last hearing, the review board noted his significant progress, but still kept him on a tight leash. He is under a detention order, but allowed to live outside the hospital in an apartment.
He doesn't have "sufficient insight" to recognize early symptoms of deterioration, the board found.
The review board system lets NCR people into the community – once they're deemed ready – for short periods under close supervision to see how well they cope. If they do well, they can be granted more privileges at subsequent hearings, step by step. If they don't, the review board pulls the reins of supervision a little tighter.Report Typo/Error

Canadian Press - The RCMP has ruled out mechanical failure in a bus that crashed in Cape Breton on Sunday, killing a Pennsylvania tourist in her 70s.
That's according to Executive Coach, the charter company that owns the bus.
The company said it continues to work with police as they try to determine how the bus carrying 20 passengers went off the road on the Cabot Trail highway.
The Pennsylvania company said it will use the RCMP's findings as part of its own investigation into the first fatality involving one if its buses.
The Mounties have said 10 people were hurt when the bus landed on its side about three kilometres south of Neil's Harbour.
Executive Coach said it is ensuring everyone on the tour returns home safely. It said it had arranged for a bus to pick up any passengers who are unable or unwilling to take a flight.

Leszek Lesner has released an updated version of ZevenOS 1.9 "Neptune" edition, a Linux distribution based on Debian's testing branch: "We are proud to announce the release of ZevenOS Neptune 1.9.1. This is the first minor release to ZevenOS Neptune 1.9 which brings an updated Linux kernel (126.96.36.199) and an upgraded KDE SC (4.5) as well as VLC 1.1.5. The base Debian system was updated with security and bug fixes as well as our own applications such as ZevenOS hardware manager and Neptune installer. We are also proud to see that our effort in creating a good remastering tool, remaster-kit, has resulted in the first unofficial ZevenOS Neptune 1.9.1 release based on the GNOME desktop. Features: the newest, full-featured KDE SC 4.5 desktop with lots of animations and useful applications; the newest Chromium web browser including the newest Adobe Flash and full HTML 5 support."
Here is the full release announcement.

My PEARSONs came from Portadown, Co Armagh. William Graham PEARSON son of
Andrew PEARSON (a baker) and Isabella nee DYNES.
William and his mother came out to New Zealand. Circa 1890s I think.I
assume after Andrew had died as there appears to be no trace of him here.
The floggings will continue until morale improves
