The problem is that the glibc changed the situation from a hypothetical bug to an actual bug.
And due to the nature of the bug it's impossible for the user to diagnose it.
And because this change isn't hidden from older binaries by version symbols, upgrading the library breaks the apps and the user may have no way of getting a fixed app.
My point is that users are being held hostage so that the glibc maintainers can say "meh, those stupid programmers at <wherever> should read the C99 standard". Thanks, that doesn't help me with my problem at all.
The windows developers have many features in place to provide backwards compatibility for broken apps. Yes, they need it more because source isn't available for most windows apps, but still.
At least in Linux I can roll my own LD_PRELOAD hack to fix this. Except, it's a pain in the butt to use, and I only know of one app that needs it right now (flash). Maybe there is another one, somewhere on my system, which is misbehaving in a way that will cause me to lose important data in a few days. I have no way of knowing.
Also this is the 2nd time in recent years that a change to memcpy broke apps on my system. Maybe the glibc people should change glibc so that it subtly breaks ALL apps that violate the C standard? So that instead of hundreds of hypothetical bugs we'd have hundreds of real bugs, happily munching the data on your hard disk? It's within their rights, I suppose.
On breaking things
Posted Nov 26, 2010 9:57 UTC (Fri) by mpr22 (subscriber, #60784) [Link]
I believe that Ulrich Drepper's position is roughly that if a change to glibc's internal implementation of aspects of an ISO C function's behaviour that compliant ISO C programs are explicitly forbidden to rely on (e.g. whether memcpy() copies forward, backward, or oscillating outward from the middle; what isalpha() etc. do if you pass them OOB values) breaks an application, it's the application developer's fault and officially Not His Problem and if you try to make it his problem he will tell you exactly where to get off. Especially if it's a closed source application.
Posted Nov 26, 2010 13:40 UTC (Fri) by mrshiny (subscriber, #4266) [Link]
The thing that bugs me is that there is a way to implement this change such that all newly-compiled apps get the improvement while older apps get the older behaviour. Sure, for Fedora that means that every single app which might have this bug is now vulnerable, but anything else will be fine. Lots of people have apps that they can't easily change. Many of those apps are even Free Software. Those users cannot reliably upgrade glibc, it seems.
Posted Nov 26, 2010 19:09 UTC (Fri) by giraffedata (subscriber, #1954) [Link]
I just feel that it's not the right position for a library maintainer to take, especially the single most important library in the whole system.
But let's not attribute more responsibility to Drepper than he really has. One of the reasons a distributor of free software has the privilege of defining what is Not His Problem is that anyone who disagrees is free to do better. The article makes this point in noting that it is Fedora, not the Glibc project, that is distributing a problematic library, and Fedora is accepting that responsibility and discussing whether to distribute the old or new memcpy behavior.
And, according to the article, the people arguing in favor of distributing the new memcpy behavior aren't doing so based on principle, like Drepper, but based on the belief that giving better performance to a wide range of users over the long term is better than making Flash work for some users in the short term.

there's also the problem that the breakage can easily go unnoticed, and can corrupt the users data.

This was specified already in ANSI-C in 80's, i.e. last century.
Memory debugging tools like Valgrind, duma etc. have been giving warnings about memcpy() calls with overlapping addresses at least for a decade.
If 10-20 years isn't enough for e.g. Adobe to test with freely available (or commercial) tools that their software is robust, portable and correctly implemented, I don't have very high hopes of it ever being what I (and apparently Steve Jobs) call "product quality" SW.
Posted Nov 26, 2010 20:22 UTC (Fri) by dlang (✭ supporter ✭, #313) [Link]
If the work is something like defragmenting memory by moving things around, it's very possible for one particular run to not have overlaps, but another run to have overlaps. Any time you have the pointers calculated in the program, you have a case where they may or may not overlap on a particular run.
and while you are chastising Adobe for not having tested with Valgrind, make sure you chastise everyone else (including glibc maintainers) for the same thing.
this is unfortunantly a very easy mistake to make, and unless a change like this is made, it's unlikely to some to light.

One should of course understand that tools can give only positive proof of bugs existence, not proof of them not existing. Things like running Valgrind (and static checkers) should be part of the development process, so that over SW life time & changes one gets better coverage. It's not some one-off, instantly forgotten thing.
> and while you are chastising Adobe for not having tested with Valgrind, make sure you chastise everyone else (including glibc maintainers) for the same thing.
Btw. If calls to a function are within the same library where the function is implemented, function wrappers don't catch that unless it also goes through .plt. And as to Glibc FORTIFY utility, I'm not sure whether Glibc enables that for itself...?
With Duma I've seen also another "issue" in Glibc, memmove() calling memcpy() because it has inherent knowledge about in which direction memcpy() works. Because Duma doesn't have that info, it complains (Duma has now a variable for this)...

Love my "Blondie"
Pros: Easy Gentle Loveable Producer Sweet
Cons: N/A
The sole survivor of a raccoon attack and is the oldest in my flock. Extremely loyal girl. She is the "QUEEN" in the coop and they listen to her a lot. Loves following me around but I have a few that do that. Of course I have a bowl with me 75% of the time. That means picking up eggs or giving food :)

The 8th Annual Red Dress Luncheon chaired by Shital Patel raised over $28,000 for the Marlene Sigler Cardiac Rehab Endowment & Red Dress Project Community Outreach.
Join friends in preserving the hearts and memories of amazing women in our community.
Think of the women who have touched your heart - those who give of themselves to care for others. Wives, mothers, daughters, sisters and friends – they lend a hand, prepare a meal, bake a treat, and offer support through life's trials.
The NHRMC Foundation Red Dress Project honors these women with a special event designed to bring more women together in the battle against heart disease.
Together, we support the NHRMC Heart Center in helping more women learn the signs and symptoms of heart disease, get screened, and take steps to keep their hearts healthy.

Google said to release touch-screen laptop this year
As the divide between laptops and tablets continues to shrink, word is that Google has already developed its first Chrome-powered touchscreen laptop.
According to the Wall Street Journal, the tech giant's new device would come with cloud computing and could go on sale as soon as this year.
This endeavor would put Google in closer competition with Microsoft, which has already developed its own Windows touch-screen laptops. According to the Wall Street Journal, 25 percent of all Windows 8 laptops sold in the U.S. last month had touch screens.
Microsoft also has a major claim on the low-cost … Read more

Updated: 10/11/2013 - I'm SO CLOSE to being able to do a pull-up. So my trainer introduced something new into my training.
Maine has become the first state to approve same-sex marriage by popular vote.
Voters in Maryland also approved a same-sex marriage measure. In Minnesota, voters rejected a measure to ban gay marriage in the state constitution.
Washington state is voting on a similar measure and the results are not expected until late Wednesday.
Gay marriage is legal in six states and Washington, D.C., but those laws were either enacted by lawmakers or through court rulings. In popular votes, more than 30 states had previously held elections on same-sex marriage, with all losing.

Microsoft released Internet Explorer 10 Consumer Preview for Windows 7, the only other operating system to support it, apart from Windows 8 and Windows RT, with which it made its stable debut last month, earning Mozilla's cake. Posted as "Pre-Release," the browser provides most functionality as its Windows 8 stable version. Most of its performance enhancements, including the ability to flip through pages in articles by swiping across a touchscreen, are available. DOWNLOAD: Internet Explorer 10 Consumer Preview for Windows 7
Wait, wasn't the story some time ago that IE 10 would not be released for Windows 7? Good to see that wasn't true.
I think that I am typical IE user - I dont know if I have 8. or 9. right now and actually dont give a F about it. and ofcourse I could not even care about 10. - only thing I understand from this post is "cake" , so why do they even bother to make this in news? cuz users do not undarstand, but haters could not understand
native spellcheck for once? cool, one of the things i prefer in the browser is that i don't need to use any plug-ins to use it how i like.
IE10 is better then IE9 and 9 was pretty decent. I still prefer chrome because of its better multi-threading.
Don't quiet see how its unnecessary...having each browser tab run as its own process improves performance. Besides you talk about resources like we're still back in the DDR1 days. Today machines come with 6-8gb of DDR3 standard, quad core or better CPUs. Resources shouldn't be an issue.
Oh gee i didnt know that Yes I know but for such a low level task such as a web browser why use it. (Btw I built an AMD PHII X2 unlocked to X4 with 8 GB GSkill system last year for my brother)
What if your browser is the LEAST important thing you are required to have open but interferes with other processes because of its volume? Use all that horsepower... cut me the break
So it's my fault chrome will continue to consume resources and build cache on an idle but dynamic page? That's -MY- fault when other browsers do not have that issue? ::EDIT:: Explain why a browser should not be as low impact on your system as possible, or for that matter why ANY program should be written without regard to efficiency?
I dont have that issue, try running the latest dev version. I have IE10, Chrome 25 and firefox 16 all installed on my machine. IE for sites that dont like chrome, firefox for logmein, and chrome for everything else. I have the system in my sig and a A8 with 8gb of ram at work, and i'm building an FX-8350 based system with 16gb of ram......resources should not be an issue. We can go back and forth all night........if your not going to use your machine to its fullest extent why did you even build it? You might as well be running a PC that only meets the bare mini for whatever OS you choose to run.
Darn, my IE10 did not render a web page correctly... all Binge's fault, again. So far, I am sorta impressed with IE10. Seems to be as quick as the others. Still messing with it off and on, as Opera is my main browser at this time. Hard to change when you get use to something.
Ok... so for 4 hours a night I do the following. 720P windowed mode gaming, recording, encoding, and streaming of that game. Browser window opened to view stream (checking to make sure it works). Browser window dedicated to chats. Browser window opened for channel admin management. Tab open to manage a hangout for moderators to chat during the live-stream. If I could have the same functionality out of my browsers with half the resources I could have a larger memory buffer for encoding. Seems like I actually using my system and I am actively concerned with my resources.
Because having each browser tab running in a separate process means that if one of the tab processes goes rogue it can be terminated without affecting any other processes running. It is much more secure. IE has some problems, but running the tabs as separate processes is not one of them.
IE9 FTW and now it's IE10 FTW I never use any thing but IE. This is good news and soon we will get DX11.1 on windows 7
I installed IE10 at work on my Win7 machine. Seems fine. I have auto-updates set here on my home system and I got IE10 automatically with Win8 (I guess). Wasn't even aware it did that. Browser works fine for me.
i5 3570 @ 4.8GHz and 8GB of DDR3 1866 (220.127.116.11.T1) ...Really? I'm not writing ANYTHING a single HDD couldn't handle in the situation listed above. It's all live encoding and streaming. Again, why would I want the LEAST important but necessary part of my routine to consume many resources?

When Americans wake up in the morning, they want one thing: a good hot shower.
A recent study commissioned by Noritz America, a tankless water heater manufacturer, showed that while shower styles varied, the demand for continuous hot water and strong water pressure is nearly universal. But so is the need to cut utility costs and save energy.
Consumers can cut operating costs up to 40 percent and help ensure that every shower is a hot one by shifting from conventional tank-type water heaters to a tankless unit, according to Jason Fleming, marketing manager for Noritz. He notes that instead of wasting energy and money by continuously heating stored water, tankless technology heats water strictly on demand, so homeowners pay to heat only the water they need. For more information about tankless water heaters, visit www.noritz.com/research.

I bought this in the hopes that it would mimic a bookcase sold in a popular home catalog for 3-4x the price. It is the perfect depth, height and size for the space, and its dimensions are almost exactly what the other, more highly priced bookcase is. The quality however is not. These shelves are like a hard plastic with a stamped wood pattern into them, whereas the real bookcase shelves are like reclaimed wood. The metal on this is very dark, almost a charcoal steel, whereas the expensive version has lighter pewter colored metal. This one was very simple to put together, although the box it arrived in weighed a ton, so i had to take it upstairs piece by piece. Its fine for the price and I'm keeping it, however its in my front living room and can be seen by all entering the home, so I wish it looked more high end. Its a marginal foreign copy of a nice, more expensive piece. If its in a non-important location, its fine for the price. I would have preferred, with 20/20 hindsight, spending the extra money for the real version.
After reading the other reviews, I was a bit hesitant in ordering this bookcase but, having had great success with previous oders from O.com, decided to chance it. Am so glad that I did! I had been comparing this one to similar items on two other high-end sites and the difference in the item price and shipping cost could not be passed up. When the bookcase arrived, assembly was a breeze (the hardest part was getting the bookcase into it's upright position, because it is heavy). Now I have it in my kitchen for additional shelf and storage space and it adds an expensive and trendy industrial look, which is what I was going for. Had I purchased this bookcase from store X or Y, I would have paid 2-3 times the amount plus $95+ for shipping.
I love the look of the shelves, and the size, but I wish we had not bought them because of the smell. Judging from the smell, they may need 6 months of off gas before we can use them. The design was a nice idea, but could have been implemented a little better.
I had been admiring shelves on another well-know furnishings site, but they were way over my budget. So I was thrilled to find these on O for less than a third of the price. They were easy to assemble, although very heavy - definitely need two people. They look just as pictured - although the measurement of width was off by over 8". Overall the pieces look very much as pictured. However I ordered two shelves, and one unit has much lighter colored shelves. The shelves are rougher and it seems like they were just not finished with a topcoat. The other unit has one shelf that is also much lighter, but I figured that when they have pieces on them it will not be an issue. All in all for the price I consider them a great find.
Great shelving at a wonderful price. Heavy pieces but once laid out, fairly easy to assemble. Bottom shelf is NOT marked so look closely at each shelf BEFORE assembling as bottom shelf has small screw holes in each side piece where leg/wheels fit in. I assembled upside down but requires two people to tip and then lift to upright. Might want to "air out" shelves in a garage or outside for a few hours or a day before putting in house as they do have a chemical smell.
I'm using for craft storage but would really be a nice display bookcase too. Needed two people to set up or one strong man.
Very, very well made. Well packaged, super easy to assemble (maybe 10 minutes), and sturdy. Though it is on wheels that do not lock, it's not going anywhere. Note: heavy box so ask for help!
I love the Renate desk that I ordered to go with this matching bookcase. And I love the look of the bookcase. The problem is how its put together. Each of the metal pipe pieces is separate and screws into the one next to it. In the end, there are too many points of instability and in the end the assembled piece is very wobbly and not straight. I tried to adjust it both during and after assembly, but it was still unstable and tippy looking. It was too much of a pain to try to return it and it wasn't actually going to tip over, so I used it for 6 months. But it bugged me to see the lines not being straight and feel it move when I took things off or on. So in the end I sold it for less than half of what I paid for it on **********.
Not worth the money! low quality with defects direct from factory!.
Overall this is a great product, I purchase this along with the matching Renate desk, definitely Restored style with much lower price. One thing I want to complain is the reclaimed look seems from a very thin paper-like veneer, it is too thin. Overstock's customer service is wonderful, best I know.

Providing your fish with good water quality not only aids in relieving their stress, but also helps to prolong their life spans and promote their overall well-being. Water conditioners are necessary for the set up of both salt and freshwater aquariums as they help to make tap water safe for your fish and plants, while aquarium water pH correction products help to maintain a healthy balance of pH levels in your tank water. As an immediate solution for cloudy or murky water conditions, there are various aquarium cloudy water fix products available to keep your aquarium water crystal clear. As most aquarists know, there is no normal pH for all fish as various species of fish thrive under different pH levels. This is why there are aquarium water pH correction solutions that either increase or decrease the alkalinity and acidity levels of your tank water. Use a test kit to test your aquarium's water regularly and learn which water conditioners work best for your species of fish, as well as which aquarium cloudy water fix solutions will ensure a comfortable and stress-free environment for them.
Stress-free fish are happy and healthy fish. Fish are inclined to stress when they're unable to see where they're swimming, which is why aquarium cloudy water fix solutions are always handy to have around. As tap water contains various amounts of chlorine, chloramines and traces of heavy metals, water conditioners are necessary as they neutralize and detoxify the tap water. For fish that have lost their natural slimy layer due to stress, there are water conditioners and additives that help to replenish their protective slime coating. While most saltwater fish thrive in higher pH levels, most freshwater fish prefer lower pH levels. In an effort to reduce stress and balance your aquarium's pH levels, there are some aquarium water pH correction products that contain aloe vera, which is a proven natural stress reducer.
As fish and fish waste increase ammonia levels, they can be neutralized through various living bacteria and enzyme additives. There are even specific water conditioners for bowls housing Bettas, as some conditioners are specially formulated for ponds and marine tanks. In addition to keeping your tank water clean and clear with aquarium cloudy water fix solutions, you can help to promote the health, vitality and overall well-being of your fish friends with the right conditioners, additives and aquarium water pH correction products.

Stand tall in your light now ~ Michael through Ron Head
Good morning. We will begin today by explaining to you what happened yesterday. You were correct in thinking that the energies around you were chaotic. They have begun to settle and you are integrating the changes in your field somewhat. We know it was a worry for you, but we advise you that there is much more of this nature to come. We advise you to be prepared. Do not expect to receive pages of information from us each day. From this point on, some messages may be short and some may take more than one day to complete.
There is more than enough information around you to keep your page active and informative. Share the posts of others and do not feel compelled to produce each morning. Much is about to change in your world, and your life is not an exception to this. You may need more time to deal with what is occurring around you soon, but we assure you that when you look for us we will be here.
As everyone who is following these messages and the others which are coming forth understands, a critical moment is fast approaching. Those of us who are not physically present on your world are now pushing strenuously for those who are to begin with the next critical moves. For some time we have told you that it was your actions which would determine the timing of events, while many of you lamented our lack of action. We are not here to force change on your world. But the time for a firm and unmistakable beginning is upon you. If need be, events will now dictate that action be taken. Best, however, that it were initiated without such a necessity.
There are currently events happening each day that point to the changes we have promised you. They are indeed beginning to escalate. Some are beginning to be reported upon on your televisions and in your press. The meaning of these things is being reported quite differently there than it is on your alternate sites. It will take a while for that to change. It will dawn upon some that the events themselves are interconnected. When it becomes apparent that the link is the persons involved, then the cat will truly be out of the bag.
What is causing such confusion for you all, however, is the immense changes in your fields caused by the galactic alignment just reached and the solstice still approaching. We advise as much time spent in integrating and centering as you can manage. This kind of rapid change has not reached its maximum. You may want to remember to intend the absorption and integration of the new as you go about your day. Breathe with the intent of bringing the light to each cell of your being. Of course sitting in quiet meditation is wonderful. But not all of you have structured your time to accommodate hours of that into your days.
Always do what you can do and intend to do as much as possible. But you know by now to release the 'shoulds' and 'have tos' and associated blame and guilt from your lives. There is no more need for you to judge yourselves harshly then there is to judge others.
We have covered a range of things this day. Some may have been intended for you, and some may have been intended for others. As always, take what you need from what you see and let the rest pass by. It may or may not be of value to you at a later time.
We hold each of you in our hearts and stand ready to support you in all ways. Stand tall in your light now and be prepared to live out your life's purpose. There are those who are here to guide countries. The word one of you speaks that changes the life of another may be of more importance. Be yourselves now. Nothing more is required of you. Good day.

I can go either way with this. There should be a third voting option IMHO.
My problem with the local option is the possibility of problems between Troops where one exercises the option one way and another exercises it the other and what has not been an item of contention in the past now becomes a reason why one group is "forced" to practice tolerance while another acts as it will(and that can occur with either choice acting as the bully). Now I realize that there are adults out there doing this now, but IMHO I haven't yet seen it have any effect on boys i've known yet.
This decision could bring that discriminator into the discussion among the youths and force them to make decisions they shouldn't have to yet.
As to AZMikes qurestion about in what ways? Folks are inventive, they'll find a way to make it interesting.
Announcement Module
No announcement yet.
Current BSA Policy Vs local option poll
Page Title Module
The boys already confront those issues any time they 'choose sides'. They've been doing it since they first started forming competing groups.
Spoke with our Exec and assistant today, and they both are really concerned about the effect of the final decision. The CE said his calls are running at about 41% against it, and a lot of threats to leave if it happens. He said they are already looking at ways to redo the budget, as they fear they will lose considerable income. We are in a bit more conservative area of California, so his percentage does not really seem too off to me, though my own discussions have indicated most people would prefer the local option as long as it WAS a local unit choice. Our church has has already told us they will run with our decisions on leadership and so on. And the National Methodist have indicated support for local as well.
We discussed the nightmares of people dropping out of jamboree at that late date, as well as loss of executive board members. Apparently there has been some that indicated they would resign should the change occur.
As noted earlier, I really just do not get why this is such a problem with so many, other than we now live in a very egotistical cultural climate. Will just focus on the troop and hope for the best.
If the Local option is passed, the scenario I fear is one where an openly gay person wishes to join a unit, and it just so happens that this particular unit chooses to follow the original membership requirements. (i.e. heterosexual individuals only).
If the person is refused membership to this unit, based on said sexual orientation, and this individual decides to sue, I am guessing that the CO will be the entity that is sued.
Will the BSA support the CO, or wash their hands of the incident, and leave the CO hung out to dry?
One incident like this could put a significant financial burden on a CO.
Your thoughts?
So, Has Smith College in Northampton, Ma ever been sued for sex discrimination?
"They didn't go to Smith" "Go to Smith, she couldn't even spell it"…
Or the Catholic Church, as they don't ordain women as Priests, have they been sued for sex discrimination?
After all the pleas for the Local Option, why has no one ever mentioned the CO being sued until now?
This was emailed out from our council ofice today as a reiteration of current policy, before the coming "survey":
"Current BSA Membership Policy
While the BSA does not proactively inquire about the sexual orientation of employees, volunteers, or members, we do not grant membership to individuals who are open or avowed homosexuals or who engage in behavior that would become a distraction to the mission of the BSA. Scouting believes same-sex attraction should be introduced and discussed outside of its program with parents, caregivers, or spiritual advisers, at the appropriate time and in the right setting. The vast majority of parents we serve value this right and do not sign their children up for Scouting for it to introduce or discuss, in any way, these topics. The BSA is a voluntary, private organization that sets policies that are best for the organization. The BSA welcomes all who share its beliefs but does not criticize or condemn those who wish to follow a different path."":
We had someone at our District committee meeting who has been elected to go to National for the vote.. I didn't realize those voting had to physically go to Texas to do so.. Sounds like he is not voting for the council either, but had to come up with his decision on how to vote on his own, because he has been researching to figure out how he should vote..
My initial thought (I admit I was stereotyping), was that his vote would be to keep the policy as it is, because he is very old I'm guessing in his 80's (and I may be being charitable at that), and very religious.. While he didn't openly say which way he will vote, the passage he read out of the boy scout handbook lead me to believe it will be for the local option.. More on the reasoning that "Don't ask, Don't tell" goes against the BSA vision of what it means to be morally straight. It was a very different viewpoint then any I have heard debated on this forum..
From the breakdown of the meaning of the Scout Oath. (Chapter3, page 46 of the BS handbook may be off a page or two for different versions.)
... and morally straight.
To be a person of strong character, your relationships with others should be honest and open. You should respect and defend the rights of all people. Be clean in your speech and actions, and rmain faithful in your religious beliefs. The values you practice as a scout will help you shape a life of virtue and self-reliance.
Then he went back and reread a few times the phrase, "You should be honest and OPEN with your relationships with others..", and really highlighted this phrase.. I forget how, but at least for me, he drew a correlation that "Don't ask, Don't tell", is a policy that requires people to be anything but honest and open.. It says if you are a homosexual, we will accept you in as long as you are not honest with us.. It promotes something that goes against what we state the meaning of morally straight is..
Now, if our policy was that which stated that homosexuals should be open and honest about their sexual preferences and stay 200 yards back from any ongoing BSA event, how he would vote.. But, my conclusion is that based on the fact that the current policy is that of "Don't ask, Don't tell".. In good conscious he must vote against the BSA continuing with this policy..
Considering so many have used the "Morally Straight" phrase as the reason why the current policy should be maintained.. Who have basically defined "Morally Straight" to mean, you are heterosexual, not homosexual.. This viewpoint was a unique perspective for me..
Well I really shouldn't have been all that surprised at this gentlemen's perspective, this guy is very young at heart, just trapped in a body that is aging. He still looks at the world as a place where he can learn new things and has always been open to different viewpoints.. That he evolved on this topic along with the rest of the world, I really should not have been that surprised. But, I admit, I was.
By the way, anyone else handpicked by their council to go to National to personally cast their vote?.. Anyone know if it is one per council, or one per district or what? Is everyone who is going allowed to vote their own mind on the matter, or are some to vote as the representative of the council, and vote their viewpoint.. (I would imagine, they would basically choose someone they know is like-minded with whatever their viewpoint is, that being the case.)
hmm.. editing went a little buggy.. I tried to edit last post so that "voting" in the first line was changed to "voters".. But it wouldn't let me save my edit unless I entered a title? (not the comment of why I was changing it, but a title..) Yet, although I had an entry field to add a title, it wouldn't let me put anything into that entry field..
Well at least the bugs that wouldn't let me log in last week are gone.. Yet still pretty buggy.. I should get myself a jar with a lid with holes punched in it.. I might catch me some rare specimens in the weeks to come.
Some local councils are doing membership policy surveys, a few others are now hosting education sessions about Boy Scout membership standards. Some sessions are open, some by invitation only.
Will volunteer feedback affect their respective council vote in May?
Every council has certain voting members that can vote at the National meeting; usually the Key Three and, depending on the size of the council, member(s) at large. Our small council has 4 total. They just put out a three question survey regarding the issue, sort of. The queries did not mention "local option", only acceptance or non-acceptance of Gays; so do not think it is going to get meaningful results. On the other hand, just got a National survey as well; and it was very specific, and asked for detail as to why and so on. It seemed to be aimed at an honest attempt to get "real" answers. I had to deal with one local member of the congregation at our Methodist sponsor on Scout Sunday. We had a short discussion out in the patio away from the others. Not sure if my answers mollified her, but at least she did not pursue it further. She had gone to the minister, who came to me and asked me to speak with the woman. The church as a whole, is very supportive still.

L'Osteria del forno
(Restaurants - Best Value)
519 Columbus Ave, San Francisco 94133 415-982-1124
Distance: ~0.53 mi *
NORTH BEACH. Given the size of the kitchen, it's hard to believe that so much tasty food springs from a lone oven. Its bounty includes thin-crust pizzas, fragrant foccacia, skewered lamb, a daily roast and baked pastas. Another favorite, milk-braised roast pork, also elicits raves from regulars. The restaurant has only a handful of tables, so waits are common, but the owners prefer the immediacy of small groups and the pleasure of genuine attention. A short wine list is available, and prices are extremely reasonable.

Quince Restaurant
(Restaurants - Best Value)
470 Pacific Ave, San Francisco 94133 415-775-8500
Distance: ~0.54 mi *
Quince's subdued, elegant interior gets grace notes of glitter from Murano glass chandeliers and lush photography. They're a nice foil to cuisine that's simultaneously accomplished and rustic. Chef Michael Tusk cut his teeth at Chez Panisse and brings a taste for high quality to his own restaurant. The ever-changing menu unites French and Italian sensibilities, as seen in Jerusalem artichoke soup with morels, mouthwatering pastas, and main courses like pork loin crusted with wild nettles and parmesan, spring lamb prepared three ways, or squid flavored with artichokes, olives, and potatoes. An exceptionally well-considered wine list offers both value and variety, and homemade desserts often include tortes, gelati, and galettes.
Mama's on Washington Square
(Restaurants - Best Value)
1701 Stockton St, San Francisco 94133 415-362-6421
Distance: ~0.64 mi *
NORTH BEACH. Act fast and early if you're thinking about Mama's after lunch you're out of luck. And you certainly don't want to miss the array of perfectly prepared breakfast foods. Generous portions are standard, whether you order a fluffy omelet, a stack of hotcakes or light, fragrant French toast. If you need them, Mama's also offers healthy egg white creations. Quick service is a staple, but even so, weekend brunch has been known to generate waits thanks to the cafe's popularity.

2227 Polk St, San Francisco 94109 415-928-8025
Distance: ~0.72 mi *
RUSSIAN HILL. Mahogany paneling, tiled floors, and a zinc-topped bar hint at Pesce's sophisticated bent, which is only confirmed by its terrific cuisine. Specializing in cicchetti, a Venetian take on tapas, the restaurant confidently serves seafood married with lemon, olive oil, truffles, fennel, and arugula. Small-plate portions mean that you can indulge in several taste sensations, and fortunately, full-sized entrees can also be had. They include grilled ahi tuna, beef tenderloin, and cioppino. A raw bar is also a treat, as are refreshing Italian cocktails.
Dottie's True Blue Café
(Restaurants - Best Value)
28 6th St, San Francisco 94103 415-885-2767
Distance: ~0.73 mi *
THE TENDERLOIN. Youll find some of the city's best breakfast plates on Dottie's classic menu. Early risers in San Francisco literally line up outside this small diner, just waiting for a chance to savor the signature home-style breakfast food. Worth-waiting-for fare includes everything from homemade thick-cut French toast and open-faced omelets to whiskey fennel sausage and chili cornbread with spicy jalapeno jelly. The restaurant also serves tempting lunch options like sandwiches, salads and hamburgers.

San Francisco Art Institute Cafe
(Restaurants - Best Value)
800 Chestnut St, San Francisco 94133 415-749-4567 415-771-7020
Distance: ~0.85 mi *
NORTH BEACH. A hidden jewel, this art-school cafe rests on the institutes's roof, affording absolutely spectacular views of the Bay and the city. Inside, you'll encounter bustling ambiance, an exhibition kitchen, and student artwork. The eclectic menu is terrific, always fresh and homemade, sporting fruit-studded scones and muffins, tender baked goods, and breakfast classics like bacon and eggs, home fries, and more. Lunchtime fare includes salads, sandwiches, and international dishes. Outdoor dining is available, too, as are great prices and vegetarian and vegan fare. Just make sure you call in advance; hours vary, and the cafe is only open when school's in session.
Yukol Place Thai Cuisine
(Restaurants - Best Value)
2380 Lombard St, San Francisco 94123 415-922-1599
Distance: ~1.72 mi *
COW HOLLOW. Yukol Place offers tasty Thai food in a simple setting with a quiet, relaxing atmosphere. Start with a fresh salad or a bowl of coconut soup to get the taste buds acclimated. If you're there already, calamari salad with its zesty dressing packs a punch that's sure to please. The standard pad Thai is also a good choice, and authentic Thai desserts give your sweet tooth a subtle, delicious treat. If you're looking to impress (inexpensively), Yukol Place is a must.
Rosamunde Sausage Grill
(Restaurants - Best Value)
545 Haight St, San Francisco 94117 415-437-6851
Distance: ~1.80 mi *
LOWER HAIGHT. Within this small, bright eatery, you'll find some of the city's best sausages. Choose from kielbasa, knockwurst, Italian, chicken or weisswurst, or live boldly by sampling wild boar with chutney or smoked duck with figs. The variety is impressive and served on French rolls with toppings like sauerkraut, spicy peppers and grilled onions the dogs are incredible. Sodas and chips also find a place on the menu, and since the grill is small, most people place to-go orders or even take their selections next door to the Toronado Pub, which stocks great microbrews.

3621 18th St, San Francisco 94110 415-552-4055
Distance: ~2.25 mi *
MISSION DISTRICT. Simplicity and authenticity reign at this small, popular restaurant. Zinc tabletops and exotic hardwoods bear this out, as does the incomparable Italian fare with its top-notch ingredients. Treat yourself with grilled calamari salad, braised rabbit, steak frites, roasted chicken, or salmon with fresh vegetables. Although Delfina has garnered much acclaim since it premiered, the trattoria still delights with casual ambience, friendly service and satisfyingly reasonable prices all boons to dining aficionados.

Distance: ~2.81 mi *
RICHMOND DISTRICT. This charming bistro, happily ensconced in its small, friendly neighborhood, always issues a warm welcome. Its comfortably upscale dining room is busy but romantic, and patrons delight in Chapeau!'s well-executed French country fare. Classics like steak au poivre, roast chicken, cassoulet and duck a l'orange are served a la carte, but multi-course prix fixe menus and the early bird special are incredible deals. Crowning everything is a fabulous wine list that features more than 300 selections.

Height: 492 meters
Cost to build: $1.2 billion
Completion date: August 2008
Fast fact: The square "bottle opener" opening at the top is designed to reduce stress of wind pressure, and was originally circular.
However, Shanghainese citizens and the city's mayor protested, claiming it was too similar to the rising sun design of the Japanese flag.
Just eight meters shy of the half-kilometer mark, this giant bottle opener overtook Gin Mou Tower in 2008 as the tallest building in China, formally marking the city's emergence as a global financial hub.
The building, however, recently lost its title to the neighboring Shanghai Tower, which topped out on August 3, 2012, at 632 meters.
Like many magnificent buildings in China, the Shanghai World Financial Center has a subtle connection to Chinese beliefs: the opening atop represents earth reaching up to the sky, symbolizing an interaction between the two realms.
Shanghai World Financial Center, No.100, Century Avenue, Pudong New Area, Shanghai China
Hotel & Casino Grand Lisboa, Macau
Height: 261 meters
Cost to build: $385 million
Completion date: 2008
Fast fact: Designed by Hong Kong architects Dennis Lau and Ng Chun Man, the golden structure combines the visual effects of crystals, fireworks and the long plumes of a Brazilian headdress -- all symbols of prosperity to guide the money home.
In Macau, the Hotel & Casino Grand Lisboa is the eminent icon of gaudy profits.
It isn't particularly beautiful, but who needs beauty when what you're really after is piles of gamblers' cash?
Everything linked with money can somehow be intertwined with superstitions in Macau. This, the tallest skyscraper in Macau (261 meters) was built to resemble a bottleneck to avoid the leaking of cash --- a suggestion reportedly offered by a feng shui master.
Hotel & Casino Grand Lisboa, Avenida de Lisboa, Macau
Bahrain World Trade Center, Manama, Bahrain
Height: 240 meters
Cost to build: $150 million
Completion date: 2008
Fast fact: It was the world's first wind-powered, mega-structure.
Atkins, the architectural firm behind the futuristic Bahrain World Trade Center, may have wanted to give the island's skyline a big, bright slap in the chops.
But the maritime connection doesn't stop at its stunning silhouette.

Secure storage with GlusterFS
Other Cool GlusterFS Tricks
Because you can add and remove storage bricks from a volume, you can add entirely new servers and remove existing servers. Thus, you can remove dying hardware from your storage pool with minimal interruptions. Because the back-end data storage is simply a filesystem like XFS or ext4, and the metadata is contained within the files, you can easily back up your GlusterFS data on the storage servers. You also can monitor the contents of files easily by, for example, scanning for viruses or rootkits without having to depend on the clients mounting and using the data.
GlusterFS can also provide data storage to OpenStack Swift, Glance, and Cinder clients, and it can provide Hadoop HDFS storage, among other capabilities. Because GlusterFS uses a plugin architecture, in the longer term, it will be possible for more capabilities to be added and for GlusterFS to be extended – for example, by adding file encryption or multitenancy support per volume.
The future of storage on Linux is bright. Several solutions (e.g., GlusterFS, Ceph) that are under very active development allow you to create distributed, replicated, and high-performance storage systems with the use of cheap hardware. If you aren't already using these, I suggest you investigate them. Not having to worry about disk or server failure bringing down your storage back end is a good thing indeed.

Would like to see a book/movie in contining the relationship. Never hear the thought of that though in the Stephanie Meyer camp. No one could play Jacob but Taylor.
Mrs Stephanie Meyer please write another book to the series and quench ever fans thirst
Please, Please, Please!!!!
Yes Yes Yes! Of course!
i think they would be perfect for each other! the hybrid vampire and werewolf ^^
but.. i saw some pics of renesmee.. she is waaaaay to big! she ain´t 3 years old in those pictures!
I think so, I am hoping for a movie and book based on it.
Of course. Imprenting has an immense power, so Renesmee and Jacob will not be able to be apart. The only thing is whether or not Bella would allow it. We already know that Edward approves of Jacob, and has accepted him into Bella's (and his own) life.
I would love to see how the story would continue with such a spectacular couple (wolf meets human meets Vampire)!
Btw. I just found this free quiz on Twilight: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/twihard-quiz-for-twilight/id603661946, feel free to add me so we can battle :-)
yes she'll who would not lyk to....?
Yes, because even though Bella was seriously angry I think that they would allow it because they know that they would be giving Renesmee to someone who would love her forever.

Product Details
Would you like to update product info or give feedback on images? |
I don't want to regurgitate the praises offered by previous reviewers; they're all true, and all warranted. Instead, I'd like to use this space to draw particular attention to "Rachel's Song," which is one of the most powerful and affecting things I know. Written and sung from the perspective of an abandoned woman -- addressing in absentia the man who left her -- it's unlike anything else on the record: elsewhere McMurtry is sardonically funny and basically generous of spirit; this, however, is a long, level stare into the abyss -- a depiction of a cold, bottomless, almost inarticulate hatred that's so utterly pure as to consume or negate everything outside of itself. Absolutely stunning; I've never heard anything else remotely like it. To quote Jorge Luis Borges (on Robert Graves) -- this fable deserves to be very ancient.
Don Dixon's production is inventive and does an outstanding job of throwing these tales into high relief. If you admire anyone who can be considered a songwriter's songwriter, and are unfamiliar with James McMurtry's work, Start here.

Market Snapshot for January 29, 2011 (6:00 p.m. ET), Closing Prices:
- DOW 12,660.46 (-74.17, -0.58%), S&P 500 1,316.33 (-2.10, -0.16%), NASDAQ 2,816.55 (+11.27, +0.4%), Nikkei 225 8,841.22 (-, -%), DAX 6,511.98 (-27.87, -0.43%), FTSE 5,733.45 (-61.75, -1.07%)
Market Rally Falters
January has been an interesting month for the markets. Both the S&P 500 ($SPX) and Nasdaq-100 ($NDX) have been trading above their 10-day moving averages since late December. While there haven't been any exceptionally strong single-day moves this month, the indices made steady gains since the December 19th lows on the daily time frame.
Another correction attempt began on Thursday when premarket buying gave way to a momentum reversal and a strong day of steady selling from 10:00 a.m. ET and onward. Although the market attempted to recover afterhours, the indices created short patterns Friday morning as a result of the slower comparable momentum on the upside following the European open versus Thursday's downside. This change in momentum meant that the Friday morning rally was wave two in a two-wave continuation short setup in the index futures. It confirmed by pulling lower off 6:00 a.m. ET highs, hugging the 15 minute 20-period moving average support, and then breaking that support with an Avalanche (TM) short on the 15 minute time frame soon after 8:00 a.m. ET.
Dow Jones Industrial Average (Figure 1)
Although the selling continued into Friday morning in the indices, the session was a choppy one. By this point the indices were hugging 5 minute 20 sma resistance following a stronger premarket selloff. This was similar to the momentum shift that began with the stronger selling on the 15 minute time frame off Thursday's highs.
The futures were having trouble making new lows intraday and experienced a high degree of price retracement from one bar to the next on the 15 minute time frame as the indices hugged 5 and 15 minute 20 sma resistance. This type of action tends to favor a break in the resistance, but it wasn't until afternoon that the pace of selling versus buying in mid-day trade began to reverse course. The 13:00 ET correction period is a very powerful time of the day for market reversals to begin, particularly when they correspond to strong support or resistance levels.
Unlike the momentum shifts we saw throughout the course of the daily rally, the recovery attempt on Friday afternoon was very meager. Upside momentum remained gradual compared to earlier swings and the futures market turned lower once again when trading resumed on Sunday evening. Many traders prefer to stay out of the markets over the weekend and late-day position covering is common. However, the higher the market heads without breaking the 10-day moving averages, the closer we get to that scenario playing and it's a good time to start scouting for weakness on daily charts.

4 Tips Position Your 'Multiple Scope' Codes Perfectly
Posted on 26. Aug, 2009 by .
Ortho coders: Here's what you should do when there's no 'base' procedure.
This week is the 400th anniversary of Galileo's telescope, so let's celebrate in our own small coding way and get our own scope coding correct.
If your physician performs several knee arthroscopies on the same patient on the same day, you'll need to understand the multiple- scope rule to determine which procedures you can actually claim — and get paid for.
Important exception: Keep in mind that the multiple scope rule is a Medicare creation. The rule applies mainly to shoulder and knee procedures in the orthopedic practice, for example, but it also affects those of the elbow, wrist, and hip. On the other hand, it does not apply to ankle or metacarpophalangeal (MCP) arthroscopy, and it doesn't affect arthroscopically aided procedures (29851, 29855-29856, 29888-29889, and 29892). In addition, some surgical knee arthroscopies are excluded from the family – specifically, 29866-29868.
Follow these 4 expert-approved tips to clinch your coding every time.
