Bring on the 14-24 2.8L please...I envy my friends Nikon 800/14-25 setup, amazing lens body combo. It's about time Canon at least puts up some what of a fight at this focal point.
Can anyone account for the validity to this idea?-Tabor
Quote from: Tabor Warren Photography on October 05, 2013, 02:55:42 PMCan anyone account for the validity to this idea?-TaborThe point I'd make is that Canon is pretty good about covering lengths well so it seems unlikely that a replacement for the 16-35 would have a greatly different zoom range.Jim

Astronomers solve temperature mystery of planetary atmospheres
December 11, 2013 4:07 pm | CommentsAn atmospheric peculiarity the Earth shares with Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune is likely common to billions of planets, Univ. of Washington astronomers have found, and knowing that may help in the search for potentially habitable worlds. The paper uses basic physics to show why this happens, and suggests that tropopauses are probably common to billions of thick-atmosphere planets and moons throughout the galaxy.
New material could make solar panels cheaper, more efficient
December 11, 2013 3:10 pm | CommentsA unique solar panel design made with a new ceramic material points the way to potentially providing sustainable power cheaper, more efficiently, and requiring less manufacturing time. It also reaches a four-decade-old goal of discovering a bulk photovoltaic material that can harness energy from visible and infrared light, not just ultraviolet light.
Temperature-sensitive gelling scaffolds to regenerate craniofacial bone
December 11, 2013 2:59 pm | CommentsRice Univ. bioengineers have developed a hydrogel scaffold for craniofacial bone tissue regeneration that starts as a liquid, solidifies into a gel in the body and liquefies again for removal. The material developed in a Rice laboratory is a soluble liquid at room temperature that can be injected to the point of need. At body temperature, it turns into a gel to help direct the formation of new bone to replace that damaged by injury.
The heat pump in Europa's ocean
December 11, 2013 2:00 pm | CommentsJupiter's moon Europa features an intricate network of cracks in its icy surface. This unusual pattern is particularly pronounced around the equator. Scientists performing modeling studies on the potential marine currents below this ice layer have discovered that, near Europa's equator, warmer water rises from deep within the moon.
Tables turn as nature imitates art
December 11, 2013 1:50 pm | by Angela Herring, Northeastern Univ. | CommentsThere are examples of art imitating nature all around us, from Monet to Chihuly, but when physicist Latika Menon peered under the electron microscope last fall, she discovered the exact opposite in gallium nitride nanowires that bore an uncanny resemblance to artistic pots found in her native India. Menon has begun to control these shapes, which will make the nanowires significantly more promising for use in advanced devices.
New system allows for high-accuracy, through-wall, 3-D motion tracking
December 11, 2013 12:19 pm | by Abby Abazorius, MIT News Office | CommentsGaming could become much more realistic with new technology developed at the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab (CSAIL) that permits highly accurate, 3-D motion tracking. The new system, dubbed "WiTrack", uses radio signals to track a person through walls and obstructions, pinpointing her 3-D location to within 10 to 20 cm, about the width of an adult hand.
U.K. says cure or drug for dementia possible by 2025
December 11, 2013 11:37 am | by MARIA CHENG - AP Medical Writer - Associated Press | CommentsBritish Prime Minister David Cameron says he hopes to kick-start an international effort to find a cure or effective treatment for dementia by 2025. At a one-day summit on dementia hosted by the U.K., Cameron declared that discovering a cure or treatment for dementia is "within our grasp." The Group of Eight health and science ministers signed a declaration agreeing to identify "a cure or disease-modifying therapy for dementia" by 2025.
Team finds less is more with adding graphene to nanofibers
December 11, 2013 11:34 am | CommentsFiguring that if some is good, more must be better, researchers have been trying to pack more graphene, a supermaterial, into structural composites. Collaborative research led by Univ. of Nebraska-Lincoln materials engineers discovered that, in this case, less is more. The team learned that using a small amount of graphene oxide as a template improves carbon nanomaterials which, in turn, promises to improve composite materials.
Runaway process drives intermediate-depth earthquakes
December 11, 2013 11:02 am | CommentsStanford Univ. scientists may have solved the mystery of what drives a type of earthquake that occurs deep within the Earth and accounts for one in four quakes worldwide. Known as intermediate-depth earthquakes, these temblors originate farther down inside the Earth than shallow earthquakes, which take place in the uppermost layer of the Earth's surface, called the crust.
First rock dating experiment performed on Mars
December 11, 2013 8:23 am | CommentsAlthough researchers have determined the ages of rocks from other planetary bodies, the actual experiments have been done on Earth. Now, for the first time, researchers have successfully determined the age of a Martian rock with experiments performed on Mars. The work could not only help in understanding the geologic history of Mars but also aid in the search for evidence of ancient life on the planet.
Nontoxic quantum dot research improves solar cells
December 11, 2013 7:50 am | CommentsSolar cells made with low-cost, nontoxic quantum dots can achieve unprecedented longevity and efficiency, according to a study by Los Alamos National Laboratory and Sharp Corp. The reported solar cells are based on nontoxic quantum dots. These dots are based on copper indium selenide sulfide and are rigorously optimized to reduce charge-carrier losses from surface defects and to provide the most complete coverage of the solar spectrum.
Pressure transforms a semiconductor into a new state of matter
December 11, 2013 7:40 am | CommentsBy applying pressure to a semiconductor, researchers have been able to transform a semiconductor into a "topological insulator" (TI), an intriguing state of matter in which a material's interior is insulating but its surfaces or edges are conducting with unique electrical properties. This is the first time that researchers have used pressure to gradually "tune" a material into the TI state.
For the good of the colony
December 11, 2013 7:28 am | by Jennifer Chu, MIT News Office | CommentsFor some microbes, the motto for growth is not so much "every cell for itself," but rather, "all for one and one for all." Researchers have found that cells in a bacterial colony grow in a way that benefits the community as a whole. That is, while an individual cell may divide in the presence of plentiful resources to benefit itself, when a cell is a member of a larger colony, it may choose instead to grow in a more cooperative fashion.
Scientists publish first radiation measurements from the surface of Mars
December 10, 2013 1:55 pm | CommentsIn the first 300 days of the Mars Science Laboratory surface mission, the Curiosity rover collected soil samples in Gale Crater while the onboard Radiation Assessment Detector made detailed measurements of the radiation environment on the surface of Mars. Southwest Research Institute scientists have published the results of these studies, comparing them to typically doses received on Earth.
Cold dis-comfort: Antarctica set record of -135.8
December 10, 2013 1:44 pm | by Seth Borenstein, AP Science Writer | CommentsA new look at NASA satellite data revealed that Earth set a new record for coldest temperature recorded. It happened in August 2010 when it hit -135.8 degrees. Then on July 31 of this year, it came close again: -135.3 degrees. That's about 50 degrees colder than anything ever seen in Alaska or Siberia.

Well, got rnk_avgwards and acc_avgwards implimented now, just need to figure out what else to add to 0.7 before releasing
Last edited by Trippler; 03-23-2011 at 04:23 PM.
works great on G510 its near same as G15. But My stats are not match. In my Profile I get 0 Games etc. And PSR 1500 or is this PSR only from Custom Games? Because Matchmaking Stats I see 30 Games^^
Games: %rnk_games_played% Psr: %rnk_pub_skill%
Wards: %rnk_wards% W/L: %rnk_wins%/%rnk_losses%
Nemesis: %rnk_nemesis%
Done this for G510 because Display is smaller
Last edited by InSTinK; 03-24-2011 at 01:54 PM.
Well, its great to hear that it works on the G510 - i didn't acctually know that. For your stats however im unable to recreate the stats you're seeing. I get 195 games, 116 Wards, etc which is same as i get on your profile in-game - except the psr is one less (i will get this correct in next version to match hon's psr). Could you post the "GOT: XXX XX etc" in your log.txt when this happens?
Hopefully ill get it fixed and working
Ok, a little update.
I have not been able to code theese past few days as school has been really busy. I will try to get a few more average stats up this weekend as i may have some time then. If all goes ok ill release next version with that. I have not heard any other reports of people with a similair problem as the one InSTinkT had - so i will assume you either fixed it or there never was a bug.
There wont be any major changes in next version.
Edit: im doing some debugging on my server and it will be down for a while. I am unsure what this will do to the app.
Edit2: I figured out that a previously deleted file had still had a handle to it and was filling up my disk rapidly (Was full, thats why i needed to debug). It has now been fixed and a few settings tweaked to not fill up as fast.
Edit3: Based on log review's i can assume that it crashed / stopped working (version 0.6). In 0.7 however this has allready been fixed.
Last edited by Trippler; 03-31-2011 at 06:52 AM.
Just released version 0.7. It is a small update, but adds a few stats - and more stability for the app. (Will stay up even if my server goes down).
Sadly - at the moment its pretty much undoable except what you get with the monitor game feature or by doing some hacks. And even the monitor game im pretty sure you have to be "logged in" to the master / chat servers to fetch, and i do not want this app to require your password(!).
My server is currently singing on its last verse, and im preparing to have a backup of stuff when it dies. I will probablly have this project's main server at NIX when the time comes (yay) ^_^.
Ok, server just got back up, but i have to take it down again to try to fix it, seems like one of the fans are getting ambushed by a scout. Will try to codex him now. Bare with me.
Edit: Hmm, server is gone (rip), the PSU is broke and i wont be getting a new one any time soon - guess ill get my nix server up today.
Last edited by Trippler; 04-05-2011 at 09:18 AM.
is it just me ? or links are down ?:/ i've worked on a g19 app once but not even an inch of success there
Links are down and server is down for good. Trying to get a new one up, but might take a while.
Mate i can host it up for you if you want .
Last edited by LeFromage; 04-05-2011 at 05:14 PM.
I have a guy that is going to host it on a server on Nix (Gigabyte net, low ping). Will try to sort things out tomorrow. But thanks for your offer. I really appriciate it.
Clients will probablly have to patch manually, unless i set up a temp server for the updater though.
Last edited by Trippler; 04-05-2011 at 05:49 PM.
just wanted to help. I've got my g19 1 year ago and no apps for hon so far. I got lost in coding, and after 2 days and i quit it, btw as much as i remember, a cool idea i had back then is for the keyboard's leds to glow when ever a guy say miss or pings on the map X). I just hope you keep it up. gj so far
Download link dead? or is it just me ?
Oops! Google Chrome could not connect to niklas.endoftheinternet.org
Any alt downloads ?
There is no point in download _right now_. As soon as i get a new server i will update the download links. I have become ill though and been in bed past day, so haven't been able to work on it.
Edit: i got all my code set up, just waiting on a middle-man for something then i will get new links up.
Last edited by Trippler; 04-08-2011 at 07:37 AM.
Finally got the new server sorted out (Thanks Andreas Hagen), and after a lot of debugging i learned two things:
1. Never rely on php to output the same thing on two different servers. (One of them added \r\n on each space :S)
2. Apache sends random stuff!
Edit: oh, right download link
Edit2: The Full Story:
First of all my Server's Power Supply broke, I am unable to get one quickly, and also figured it would be better to find a faster and more stable solution then hosting it from home.
So I talked to a friend of mine (Andreas Hagen) and he got me hooked up with some server space at one of the servers at NIX (Norwegian Internet eXchange, which has like unlimited speed and lowest ping possible). And of course I managed to get ill and have been in bed the past few days, so wasn't able to recode the stuff needed to get the scripts on the server until I finally managed to do it today, with only 41* fever right now! (yay). Since the autoupdater uses the old server (that is broken) to check for updates i am unable to autoupdate the program, and you have to redownload from here.
Again I apologize for this taking so long.
Last edited by Trippler; 04-09-2011 at 05:05 PM.
I would love a look at the source too, if possible, so i can mod this thing to support this keyboard.
Ok, a little update: I have noticed the app every few hours showing the stats "N/A" a while. This comes from the server somehow being unable to connect to the S2Games servers to get statistics. It might be a temporary problem with one of the nodes since it only has happened a few times, and gets fixed after a while (like 1-2 minutes). I will keep looking into it, but I am not going to change servers again.

Just in case you haven't heard, our friends at The NotWedding are heading to Lowcountry in just a few weeks and, lucky for all you Charleston wedding vendors, you can still be involved. That's right…it's the last call for vendor applications! This bridal show alternative in the form of a big, fake wedding is coming to the Rice Mill Building June 13th, and they'd love to hear from any local wedding vendors interested in joining in on all the fun! They especially love hearing about new businesses, so don't be shy! You can find out more and apply online at www.thenotwedding.com/apply.
I actually was lucky enough to recently mix and mingle with the crew of vendors involved in this season's NotWedding Charleston just a few weeks ago, and I'll tell you what…it is one talented group! We munched on delicious Lowcountry cuisine at Rue de Jean from Holy City Hospitality that included oysters, ham biscuits and mac and cheese as Angela Cox captured the entire evening. Can't wait til June!

Filed under: Big Givers
Brad and Angelina's foundation, the Jolie-Pitt Foundation, has donated over $1 million to children affected by the Iraq war both abroad and here in the U.S. With $500,000 for school supplies and education programs for refuge children in Iraq and $500,000 for American children who have either lost a parent in the Iraq war or have a parent currently serving in that country, they continue their philanthropic dedication to causes important to helping children in our world. Here in the U.S. those funds will be used to support YMCA tutoring programs under the Armed Forces YMCA Operation Hero initiative. Brad and Angelina gave over $8 million to their foundation in 2006 and it would appear that their giving in 2008 will continue on the same generous path.

With public confidence in politics, the media, the banks, the legal system, the police, and big business all in rapid, and for the most part deserved, decline, perhaps the time has come to do more to celebrate the heroes on whom all that is best in modern life depends: the entrepreneurs.
The management theorist Peter Drucker defined entrepreneurship as transferring resources, including time, capital, labour, money, and knowledge from a lower to a higher state of productivity.
In other words, human and natural resources would achieve nothing unless someone had the enterprise to put them to good use. They would lie idle. Mankind would not have progressed beyond the caves without the initiative of the relatively few individuals willing to take risks and try new things. So entrepreneurs are behind every real advance in human civilisation. They were not necessarily the people who had original ideas. They were the people who put those ideas into practice, which may be more important.
Should any complain that some entrepreneurs are very well rewarded for that, they should note that we have committed ourselves to be rewarded only in direct proportion to our providing for the needs and desires of others, no more, no less. If we fail to serve those needs and desires, we fail to sell our products and services, and we get nothing.
If we succeed, it means other people consider what we provide is useful to them. The principle that control of resources should go to those who have done most to meet the needs and desires of others seems morally right, as well as the most efficient way to organise an economy. It is a democratic principle: people vote with their wallets. Certainly it is a more democratic, efficient, and moral system than any of the alternatives that have been offered.
Finally, in a world divided by ideology, ignorance, egotism, greed, and the misuse of religion, doing business is one of the few things that can bring members of different branches of our diverse species together for their common good.
King Edward VI once provided a Company of Merchant Adventurers who were exploring unknown lands with a letter of introduction. In it, he wrote, "Of all men, the merchant is most deserving; for God, in providing for mankind, ordained that all his needs should not be found in any single region, in order that each region should have need of others, and friendship thus be established among all men."

The bottle opener would have been nice, but the price is too good on this one.
VERY tempting. I have the non-CX version, and I love it... HOWEVER! The edge about halfway up the blade is almost folded over on itself. Not sure if warranty covers this or not. So the question is: send it in and hope it is, or pay what I paid for mine (got mine on ebay) to get the upgrade version with better steel (albeit no serrated edge), a cool black finish, and carbon fiber? Decisions, decisions...
But the Leatherman site mentions that the Freestyle CX definitely has both screwdiver attachments and a bottle opener. Am I wrong? http://www.leatherman.com/product/Freestyle_CX

I was just reading that. It's a mistake-- Someone at Leatherman must have copy-pasted the description for the Skeletool CX and forgot to remove the driver bits/carabiner from the description. The Freestyle has neither.
Is it made in China?
Two comments about the knife:

Leatherman is a US company (Portland, OR, actually), and 154CM (the blade steel in the knife) is an American-made "stainless" steel.

Which means it could be put together by Kathie Lee's kids, but the steel is still good stuff. Sadly, many American companies have gone to China for the manufacture of their knives.
Man, i was all ready to jump on this but it's way too small and that clip , to me looks like if you were to take it off it would not hold that silver thing down any longer. The Video I just watched has a dude with tiny hands and it looks small in his hands, in my hand this would look like a tooth pick. screw drivers and stuff are all in my gerber but i would like to try leatherman next. Multi tools are in my reg wardrobe- i cannot go without one, this one has no sheath and a pocket clip aint gonna cut it. I hope You guys come up with a full sized tool soon.

See the Portland, OR link I posted above. Their manufacturing is done in Portland; you can take a factory tour if you're in the area.

Cool, I hope they keep things there. Looking forward to my order.
I have been using a Leatherman Core for about six years and I still love it. Couldn't resist having a lighter option like this around. Yeah, it would be great if it had a screwdriver too, but for this price I won't complain.
A multi-tool is only useful if you have it with you. I've found the Leatherman Squirt P4 to be the most useful multi-tool because it's on my key chain. My SOG S63 is so bulky I have to make a conscious decision to take it with me. The pliers on the squirt are perfectly adequate for yanking out fish hooks plus it has many more attachments. I'd rather have the freestyle in some situations but I know I'd only carry it around if I was expecting to get into those situations.
Just bought Christmas presents! I've been carrying the predecessor to the Leatherman Crater C33TX for years (I don't know what my own model is but it's nearly identical). I've found the pocket knife first, multi-tool second approach to be far superior to the folding pliers first approach. Sure there's less total functions, but they're the functions I use less, and the much easier access to the knife and the more convenient carry method more than offsets the less tools. I've missed my pliers. Personally I'm going to carry this in one pocket, keep my Crater in the other pocket, and I've had a Leatherman Micra on my keychain forever. I really do find this to be a better approach than a single all in one tool, and with more than one knife to chose from I'm more likely to have at least one that's sharp if I'm not on top of things.
See? You don't need a bottle opener. You just use the pliers to open the bottle. And you don't need a screwdriver because you can grab the screw with those pliers too. Works fine for both slotted and Phillips head.

I agree on the bottle opener, but the screws not so much. You have no idea how many blood blisters I've given myself by not having a good enough grip on something with pliers and pinching my own hand when they slip off. It's not being weak either, quite the opposite, it's just metal doesn't always grip metal well.
Without the screwdriver bits, its only half a multitool. I want to jump for the price but you really want screw driver bits in a multitool
I bought one of the a year ago.It has broke 3 times at pivot point on pliers.Was just squeezing with one hand.Good thing that it warrantied.I have had several leatherman tools over the years since they first came out.This is the firts one i ever had problems with.They may be trying to get rid of them because of so many returns.
This is one of my pet peeves. "DLC" stands for Diamond-Like Coating. Therefore "DLC Coating" is like saying "ATM Machine," which is also one of my pet peeves.
i have one of the Skeletools, and one day the plier broke. Mailed it back to the company and within a week i had a brand new replacement, no questions, no forms, no fuss.
I want a multi-tool for each car that will do the normal tool things plus bust through a car window should the need arise. Will this one do that?
lotusstp wrote:Very sweet deal... I have the Skeletool and several Juice knives. In for a couple! I highly recommend the Leatherman tools over Gerber and other wannabe brands.
I don't know what you have against Gerber, which is definitely NOT a wannabe brand and is decades older than Leatherman. I own a Leatherman and several Gerber tools including the new Bear Grylls model which is now my favorite. This is a great deal on a decently designed Leatherman. Everyone has their favorite knife options and there are so many different models out there it shouldn't be difficult to find a really good fit.
I finally joined Woot (I've looked for years and years - literally since day one AFAIK) and never once have I purchased anything from here. I didn't buy the knives for me, instead I grabbed three of them for family members as Christmas gifts. I own a Leatherman but it is not my knife of choice. I carry a Swiss Army knife though I have a longer folding knife from Gerber that I also carry. I wouldn't have grabbed three if I wasn't certain that the knives are well made and have an excellent warranty. I've had two friends who have broken their knives and had to send them back - that's good customer service if you ask me. In both cases I'm pretty sure they had to be doing things that exceeded the 'normal usage' of the knife in order to break it. Either way, the company was happy enough to replace them so I'm impressed.
How do I add one more to an existing order?
Great stocking stuffer. In for two. Leatherman is a quality tool. I have an old one that is always with me on outings. This would be nice if they threw in a case, but for this price it can't really be beat.
Download Freestyle® CX User's Guide PDF Guide: http://www.leatherman.com/images/ltg_pocket_keychain_userguide.pdf Posted by G at allextremesports.com
Just made this purchase and decided to see how great a deal this truly was. Retail price on average was $49...!!! Great Deal. Thanks, Woot!
Nice! I'm in for 2. I like how the shipping is per order, not item. Question, is 3 the max? I didn't see a way to order more than 3 and would have ordered 4 if I could have(two for presents). 1/2 price of Amazon ain't bad! Oh I also have a more full featured Gerber that I carry on my belt almost everyday(like it better than comparable Leathermans) but no doubt Leatherman is quality and I like the looks of this little guy.
For the record Gerber and Leatherman both make stout products, I prefer the Gerber because the one hand opening feature has never failed. I have a leatherman wave that won't open now after using the wire cutter...even 2 handed. This freestyle should handle whatever you throw at it and Leatherman is great about warranty support
noozne wrote:This seems to be better than the Skeletool, at least from what I can see on the website. Is that true? http://www.leatherman.com/product/Freestyle_CX http://www.leatherman.com/product/Skeletool_CX
Skeletool is a bit longer and heavier. Skeletool includes a small carabiner on the end that will clip to your belt loop or open a beer bottle, plus a screwdriver. I owned the Skeletool, lost it, then bought this one to replace it (Freestyle CX). I like this one better because it is smaller and has the same sturdy blade and plier. I've carried this knife in my pocket for about two years. If you plan to keep it loose in your pocket, this is the best choice. If you plan to keep it clipped to your belt loop Skeletool is more feature-packed (better?).

widmer69 wrote:The wife and I bought two of these earlier in the week for $4 more each. They've yet to ship. Hope Woot refunds us the diff. The deal was one of those "unlisted" Woot deals.
Me too! - though I would not expect them to price match the current deal. But it sure would be nice if they did since it was literally days ago they offered the same item.
I have owned a Leatherman Wave and a Leatherman Squirt for years, and love them both. They are still in my possession and frequently used. I purchased the CX because I'm looking for a basic tool that is in between the Squirt and the Wave in functionality. The Squirt has a lot of micro-tools on it, and most of them are useful only for small or intricate jobs. The Wave has a lot of the larger tools and I use it almost everyday for random things (I also have the bit driver add-on for that) but can be bulky and heavy. Therefore the minimalistic approach to the CX is a good middle ground if you're looking for less weight, but the ability to be used daily, while having good tool functionality.
Nobody knows how to use the tool as a lever to open a bottle? I can open a bottle with a mini bic. So can most of the people I know. Granted we might have too much practice. In for 3. May post a video using one to open beer bottle when they arrive.
It's barely after 10:00am and it's already sold out!! Crap!!
Really hate it when I enter all the information to buy three, and get "all sold out".
Somebody wanted to go home early... :-P
$23.45 at Amazon,free shipping if you buy more than one.
juicius wrote:You could fill out the complaint form at the website. Just create an account, sign in with your PIN number and viola!
Actually "DLC" means "diamond like carbon" so it is not redundant to call it a DLC Coating. Wish I had got to this deal before it sold out.

There are a number of good reports around at the moment that should help you get these up to date statistics.
Have a look at the Wireless World Forum Research Reports' UK WIreless Statistics Handbook at http://www.w2forum.com/reports and a new report from the ARC Group of which I've quoted some below
"According to a report into the future of mobile handsets released by ARC Group, the wireless industry analysts, handset sales will continue to grow over the next five years. ARC Group predicts that the global mobile handset market will expand by 16% with consumers buying 561 million new mobiles over the course of 2004, up from 482.5 million in 2003. This growth rate will gradually slow down over the next five years as the market saturates, with expected growth figures of 10% in 2005, 7.7% in 2006, 6.4% in 2007, 4.8% in 2008 and 2.6% in 2009. Despite this decline in growth, annual handset sales are forecast to reach 767 million by 2009. "

Rails Web Services Connectivity Issue
For the past few months I have been working on migrating our customer's applications to Amazon cloud. As part of the migration I was making some environmental changes like switching to light weight web servers. Specifically for Rails applications I moved them from Lighttpd to using mongrel clusters (mongrel_cluster) front-ended by Nginx web server. One of the application had a web and a web service component. The web service component is being used by both the web application as well as by desktop client applications from the internet. I wanted the access from web application to web services go through internal connection than the public URL used by the desktop client application. What I did was configure two virtual hosts in Ngnix, one with the subdomain running on port 80 which will be used by the client applications on the internet and the other virtual host on localhost and a port (8880). Both of these virtual hosts pass the requests through proxy_pass to the mongrel cluster.
The connection from the client applications to the web service worked fine, but the connection from the web application to the web service failed. Inspecting the log file showed the below error.
streamHandler.rb in `send_post': 301: Moved Permanently (SOAP::HTTPStreamError)
I was originally thinking that this could be a problem with using the web services application behind NGINX and proxying the request. But if that were the case, then even the requests coming from the client applications through the subdomain URL should have failed. So I wanted to dig this inside.
Oh by the way before I proceed, the application was on rails 1.1.6, rubygem 0.9.0 and ruby 1.8.5. I know this combination is quite old, but we never got a chance to port the app to newer versions and without code changes it breaks in the newer versions of ruby/rails.
So, I opened irb and tried to use the SOAP libraries directly to make a request to the web services. Here is the code snippet.
As you can see in the irb output above, once I create a RPC connection to the web services providing the WSDL URL, you can see the URL to the web service API misses the port number! Apparently the service calls are routed to my default redirection configuration in the NGINX server to the web application. Looking at the log in the NGINX web server confirms that the request is redirected with HTTP 301 status, which is what is thrown up as above.
Honestly I don't know what would be the fix at a code level, but I did solve this problem, by simply changing the virtual host for localhost:8880 to localhost:80. My reasoning here is since I have specific server domain configurations listening to port 80 and one would not be able to access the localhost:80 from the internet.
My question now and something that I have to dig is, is there a way to tell the soap api explicitly, always use the host and port when calling the web services. Please post any comments/answers if you are aware of. Thanks.
Happy weekend

A Quiet Rebellion.
It may not have been clear at the time, but American society, which seemed so stable and prosperous on the surface, was being urged toward revolution in the wake of World War II by a brash generation of artists using bold works to test their ideas. As rebels always are, these young rebels were bitterly opposed by their elders, But as the 1950s progressed, the rebellion seemed to grow increasingly determined, and it became more threatening than it had ever been before.
Cold War Response.
The cold war set the tone for the arts of the decade. Americans enjoyed their image as the most prosperous people in the most powerful nation in the world. Yet they dreaded the centralization of power and the impersonality of life in the atomic age. Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949), British novelist George Orwell's novel about a totalitarian government that imposed absolute uniformity of thought and action, was read as a warning about the future. "Big Brother is watching you," a refrain from the novel, became a slogan for people who feared the effect of a social organization so powerful that it could control thought and stifle creativity. The 1950s are remembered as a time of complacency. It was also the time when shrill, profane, and menacing voices of individualism and dissidence were raised—Elvis Presley, Jack Kerouac, Thelonious...

2010 BMW 535i Gran Turismo Mini-Review
Every so often a car comes around that leaves such an impression on the auto industry and the buying public that it changes the course of automobile design, perhaps even moving things in a whole new direction while still embracing timeless elements from the past. The BMW 535GT (Gran Turismo) is most definitely NOT that car. It was clear right from the beginning that BMW was hoping the GT would usher in a new era of the classic "estate car", but in fact the GT has been anything but. Not that it could have even come close with the 7-Series size and the looks that make you wonder "what were they thinking". Ultimately the GT is a grand affair with subtle yet distinct lines, a huge pile of the latest BMW technologies, all combined into one of the hardest-to-like packages yet seen from the German automaker. Needless to say, I was less than impressed with the results.

You are right. I, like many of my friends, left to go to school and stayed away for a while. I have lived in NYC, Knoxville, Colorado, and South Florida. I made the choice a year and half ago to return. Memphis may be far from perfect; however, I love it.
When I see all the people jealous over the chain stores that Nashville has, I laugh. Boca Raton's mall has all that times 10...you know what, a mall with Nordstrom's, Tiffany's, Sak's, Burberry, The Cheesecake Factory, and California Pizza Kitchen doesn't drastically improve my life. High cost of living and a total lack of community or culture drove me back. I lived in FL for four and a half years, and the only live music I saw was Memphis bands. Outside of Miami, the galleries there were all for tourists. Now that I think of it, most things there were for tourists.
In Memphis, I have: friends that I have known my whole life, the ability to live well on a not huge salary, a great job that gives my life meaning, one of the top cities for my profession, the ability to commute 20 miles in less than half an hour, culture in so many forms, some of the best restaurants ever, a culture where people see something wrong and do something about it, easy access to leaders, and a life I genuinely enjoy.
Every city I have lived in has its problems. Violence existed everywhere...maybe not as much in Manhatten. Poverty and drug use was rampant in South Florida. I went to school with kids from some of the best public schools in FL, and they couldn't write an academic paper to save their lives. I have been around the country and am glad that I made the choice to return to my hometown.

Pat Symonds has officially started work at Williams, but the team have warned that he shouldn't be seen as the magic wand to solve their woes.
Symonds quit his consultancy job at Marussia in July to take up the position of technical director at the Grove squad following the departure of Mike Coughlan.
He admitted after his appointment that he wants to "return the team to its rightful place at the pinnacle of Formula 1", but deputy principal Claire Williams has warned not to expect too much too soon.
"Hopefully, [he can] deliver performance to the end of the season on the FW35 and then help with the development of the FW36 for next year," she told Autosport.
"But we don't believe that it is our magic bullet.
"It is naive to think one man can come into an organisation of 550 people and expect to turn the whole thing around within a matter of months."
Symonds will make his first appearance in the Williams garage at this weekend's Belgian Grand Prix and the team will be hoping he will give them a boost as they look to follow up a good display in Hungary with another solid showing.

Why Irish Catholics are no different from Muslims

Last Monday, George Marlin published an article in The New York Post entitled "Catholics' lessons for U.S. Muslims."
Marlin is an interesting thinker who writes often about overlooked aspects of Irish American and Catholic American history.
"In earlier times," Marlin wrote on Monday, "tens of millions who came through Ellis Island quickly embraced their new nation and what it stood for and refuted the charge that there was a conflict between their religious or ethnic loyalty and patriotism."
I have interviewed George Marlin in the past and found him to be genial and well-informed. So it is with respect that I disagree with his very charitable look back at the how the Irish and other Catholic immigrants assimilated.
In fact, it could be argued that Catholic efforts to assimilate into the American mainstream were more similar than different from current Muslim efforts.
I'd go so far as to say that the Irish took part in more so-called "un-American activities" than today's immigrants. Imagine, for example, if 20,000 Middle Eastern immigrants congregated at Madison Square Garden to rally for the cause of, say, Palestinian independence.
Well, that's just what many New York Irish Catholics did in 1916 after the Easter Rising in Dublin, which aimed to achieve Irish independence.
By 1917, America entered into World War I alongside the Brits, much to the chagrin of Irish nationalists in America such as John Devoy. Indeed, some factions in the Irish community were more than willing to undermine America's allies (the Brits) and ponder alliances with America's enemies (the Germans) in the name of a free Ireland.
This may have been a small slice of Irish America. But it is far too simplistic to suggest that Irish Americans in particular and immigrant Catholics in general came to the U.S. and forgot about their homelands. Not for nothing did President Woodrow Wilson lament "hyphenated Americans." His comments may have been tinged with xenophobia, but Wilson was right on one thing: many ethnic Americans did have dual allegiances.
Even on the eve of World War II, Irish Catholic members of extremist groups such as the Christian Mobilizers found common ground with the Bund and other groups linked to Hitler's Germany.
Then again, should we be so surprised? Seventy years before Devoy and so many Irish in America proved they were willing to negotiate with America's enemies, Galway native John Patrick Riley and about 200 other Irish and Catholic immigrants fought against America itself in the Mexican-American war.
Back then they were executed as traitors loyal to Rome. Today, The Chieftains sing songs about the St. Patricio Brigade.
None of this changes the fact that a majority of Irish Catholics were willing to become patriotic Americans. Just as some immigrants were launching a crusade for Irish independence from U.S. soil, many others went off to fight alongside the Brits for their new nation.
As George Marlin notes: "During World War I, more than 1.1 million immigrant Catholics … joined the US Armed Forces. More than 20 percent of the troops who served in the war were Church members, and many served with distinction. Col. 'Wild Bill' Donovan, who led the famed 'Fighting Irish' 69th Regiment from New York, was awarded the Medal of Honor."
And yet, the very existence of a "Fighting Irish" regiment proves that ethnic allegiances were not set aside so easily. Imagine if today's military allowed a "Fighting Dominican" or "Fighting Pakistani" brigade? And don't give me this business that today's immigrants don't fight in the military. Check the names of those wounded and slain in Iraq and Afghanistan.
In the end, I would argue that while the Irish and other Catholics did embrace America, they also changed America, for the better. It might have been smart for Famine immigrants to convert in the face of 19th Century anti-Catholicism. But the Irish held onto their beliefs and eventually convinced Americans to accept Catholicism and other minority religions.
Immigrant union leaders, meanwhile, changed the way Americans thought about working conditions and – yes – nationalists figured out a way to harness Irish American power to bring peace to the homeland.
The Irish were the first large-scale immigrant group to do this. Despite what some say, I suspect they will not be the last.

Dear Tom, you simply don't get it. The Irish in America (or England, where many settled too!) are able to integrate whilst retaining their identity. Muslims from wherever are unable to do this. They insist on imposing their way of life on the indigent population. In parts of the UK with only a small percentage of Muslims - all school children can only have halal food at school. Barbaric Sharia law is incompatible with western society and yet goes on subversively. Polygamy is common, which accounts for the huge increase in birth rate in Muslim dominated areas.
The liberal west is the greatest gift to radical Islam.

Irish and other Catholic immigrants ability to embrace America and perhaps change it was because the immigrants' religious and cultural beliefs were not alien or foreign to those already present in the United States. But Muslims will not be able convince Americans or any Westerners to accept Sharia law, honor killings, suicide bombings, beheadings, and attitudes of the dark ages in regards to the rights of woman and children.

Whats this victim mentality that seems to pervade the thinking here? I think some have riddeen it into an industry supported by the taxpayers, always looking for an "issue", to litigate over, or to get special treatment. How about getting past all of this and becoming self sufficient citizens who don't ask what your country can do for you, but ask what you can do for your country? Now that would be refreshing to hear from the entitlement crowd....It would make JFK proud.

Americans today would be scandalized at the comparison between the Irish and today's Muslims. But America has always had deep seeded suspicions for "the foreigner". It's ironic that a country founded on religious tolerance has been so historically untolerant.
The British government's treatment of the native Irish was so dispicable that I understand the response of Irish Americans about fighting with or against the British. The British however, brought them all upon themselves.
In 2010 Irish-Americans have forgiven the Brits for the most part (exempting right wing whackos like Margaret Thatcher). If you want to see close mindedness take a close look at the Unionists in the North of Ireland.

I'm old enough to remember my parents watching JFK's rebuttal to those that said he'd be loyal to Rome if he were elected President. When my father came here, the only job he could get was as a bellhop, even though he was a tailor by trade. For many of today's immigrants, it's not much different-ie the doctors from India working as nurses' aides because they can't practice here.
It's so sad that there's now a word "Islamaphobic" as if it's the whole religion we have to be afraid of.

When you compare Islam and Catholicism you're comparing apples and oranges.
Catholicism is a Christian religion.
Islam is not a religion.
Islam is an ideology.
The Islamic ideology dictates the subversion of ALL but Muslims through stealth.

I'm amazed at the number of people who hold forth on the subject of the Muslim mind, as if they knew anything at all about it. These people have never travelled to a Muslim country, don't read Arabic, are are completely unfamiliar with the Quran. Instead they get their information from people who are not at all neutral and not at all interested in presenting the facts honestly and fairly.
We've just wrapped up the combat portion of the war in Iraq, which was sold to us on the basis that Saddam had WMD's and was in league with Al Qaeda. Because neither of these was true, it's an open question what 4,400 Americans died for in Iraq. If Saddam wasn't a threat, then what did these young Americans die for?
There's much to be gained by understanding the realities of a situation before advocating policies that don't work to our advantage at all. America depends on the good will of Muslim moderates; otherwise the extremists will simply take over. But at the same time, people who really don't know anything are saying we should denounce all Muslims as cut from the same cloth; that is, they're all out to convert us or kill us or both. One person even described Muslims as vermin.
The world is too small for us to entertain backward ideas like the notion that one religion is good and another religion is bad. Some people actually think this is true! We need our best understanding of our fellow human beings, not our worst.
Think you know all about Muslims? When's the last time you read an Arab newspaper?

It is posted in news "Texas Instruments and UT Austin collaborate to deliver linear algebra library on TI's high performance multicore DSPs" that TI "have successfully ported UT Austin's libflame library, a dense linear algebra library for scientific computing, to TI's TMS320C6678 multicore digital signal processor (DSP)."
Where can I see (download or bay) this library and what a real performance is (any benchmarks, tests)?
Thanks in advance and sorry for my English.
Let me check to see where we are on this. The basic library functions have been ported, but I believe there is still some on-going work to implement/optimize in our multicore environment.
If you need more help, please reply back. If this answers the question, please click Verify Answer , below.
Did you have any luck locating it? If not, you can download the source at: http://z.cs.utexas.edu/wiki/flame.wiki/libflame/#head-07b59fe7e7ee10e1ff33b7e682009ab8b59f0822
I've been told that the TI build is on this website too, but I'm not exactly sure where. You can submit a question to firstname.lastname@example.com and probably get a quick answer though.
Thank you for your answer,
Dear Travis,
would you like to give me a brief introduction such as performace/benmark about libfalme on C6678?also tell me how to buy?
Best Regards,
I don't have any benchmarks at this point, but I think you can get the information you are looking for directly from the UT Austin folks using the link above. If you are asking for what the benchmarks encompass, LibFlame is a version of LINPACK written in C, used to solve Linear algebra matrix problems.
Forgot to mention that this library will be free. I made some inquires and found out the the LibFlame optimization effort for C66x should be complete in 3Q12.
Thanks for quickly respone.
If we want to buy the lib,who is we will contact for next step, UT Austin or Ti guys?
You mean library(libFlame) on C6676 is free,am I right?
It will be supported and delivered through UT Austin, not TI. My understanding is that it will be offered free of charge. I hope you meant to say C6678, not C6676.
Yes,C6678 not C6676.
So next I will contact UT austin.
Also would you please give me some recommendation about tools/sw for C6678 's multi-core code parallel optimization?
Thanks Travis!
Have you looked at the MCSDK for C66x?
