Update Notes
Updated on: 06/07/2015
Since we last visited ClubDom...
Unlike some other Femdom porn sites, Club Dom has some very extreme action. Besides the typical caning, whipping and facesitting, these merciless Dommes seem to have a fixation with torturing balls, which makes this a great collection for CBT enthusiasts. There's a ton of great BDSM here.
When you sign in to ClubDom, you'll see what's on the way for updates and below that are the latest additions to the site. You can check out the videos by hitting up the section called just that, or filter them using the advanced search to find only dildo play, cum-eating, face-smacking and a lot more extreme Femdom acts.
A new movie gets added almost every day, but you sometimes get photos instead. It seems as though you can count on getting full-length films these days, but some of the older videos were added in parts. Right now there are around 2,323 movies. New additions can be downloaded as HD MP4s and great-quality Windows Media files. Some of the older flicks also come in a QuickTime format and there's one or more streaming options for every movie.
There are also 225 photo galleries. The spreads show gorgeous Mistresses putting their male subs through their paces in medium and high-res images. Forced feminization, CBT, caning, boot-licking and orgasm denial are just a few of the highlights. You can save the sets easily in Zip files. Every Domme has her own personality and you can really see that here.
The videos have keyword tags, which is great if you're just looking for all the strapon sex, but the photos don't have this feature. Since every Mistress has her own technique, it's easy to get addicted to one in particular. There's no performer index per se, but each scene does have the performer names linked, which is a very easy way to focus on the content from a specific Dominatrix.
Club Dom is definitely one of the more hardcore Femdom sites out there, with terrific high-quality content and a large amount of it - and the updated design with a new dark color scheme looks a little better. You'll definitely have a painfully pleasurable time here. They employ a 20GB daily download limit, but that shouldn't affect you too much - if at all.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.

I have no idea why this site is number 2 the Femdom list. The content is so old, and nothing is in HD.
If you're serious about Femdom the five best sites in order are Femdom Empire (Good HD, updates almost daily), Divine Bitches (Highest quality HD of any femdom site. Super Hot Mistresses) , Mistress T (Her voice and the things she says are the best of any Dom, download limits are annoying though), The English Mansion (Great Content some in HD), and Mean Bitches (Best POV scenes hands down, even though they aren't in HD). The two honorable mentions are Dominatrix Annabelle (Super Hot, and best talker next to Mistress T, but she recycles updates) and Miss Hybrid (Absolutely gorgeous, but hardly any sex).
I have been a member of all of these sites, and all of them are worth the membership fee. The only one I continue to be a member of because it updates almost every damn day is Femdom Empire.
Club Dom is simply not worth the price of admission.

Used to be one of the best, slipping to last millennium quality.
PRO: Lots of unique content.
CONS: More recent updates are at a lower quality. HD quality no longer available to force you to buy each individual video from a clips site at an extortionate price. Photos are small and grainy.
If you haven't been on the site before you can hunt out some good slightly older HD quality videos but will be disappointed with the quality of newer ones.
Ability to post comments on the site is non-existent to prevent the backlash.(Pun intended!)

One of the best femdom sites there is, and I've tried out quite a few of them. This site is pretty hardcore.
-Hardcore femdom
-High quality videos (recent stuff)
-A few sexy women
-5 GB daily limit, and subsequent 24-48 hour ban afterwards
-Some women that just really aren't that appealing
Conclusion: Definitely worth it imho

If you are just looking for "sensual dominance"; you're not going to find it here. The Dominant Women here play for real and their men have the lasting marks to prove it. The specialties of Club Dom are hard whipping and ball-busting, but there is a fair amount of other domination as well, including forced "milking," boot licking, human ashtray and verbal humiliation. To the Ladies at Club Dom, all men are useful for their experience of pain or humiliation to please the Ladies. The Women are scantily-clad, usually in leather, and exciting to look at. The men vary in appearance and members are encouraged to volunteer for their shoots. There is no sex, forced or otherwise between Dominant and submissive, unless you count anal and oral penetration with a strap-on as "sex." nnClub Dom appears to be an entirely female-run operation with female superiority and supremacy enforced through heavy whipping, caning and verbal abuse. Camera operation is, occasionally, less than perfect as is scene editing. But you don't have to wait for another installment for a scenario to play out. Each installment is a complete episode that stands on its own. There are frequent updates, five to seven times weekly, making membership a good value for the money. Club Dom's venues have changed over time and they are presently shooting in a studio in Florida with a variety of set locations, both indoor and outdoor. The content on the site is 100% original even though the Ladies may be found elsewhere. I highly recommend Club Dom for anyone who likes heavy play.

Club Dom has added a 5-gigabyte daily download limit on the join page. It also says you must cancel 5 days before your next billing date or you will be rebilled.
This is a top-notch femdom site, but not for the faint of heart -- these girls are rough! The site is a little on the pricey side, but personally I think it is worth it. 5 gigs is also a pretty generous download limit -- still, I wish they were more upfront about it.

Clubdom suffers from the same problem that a lot of femdom sites suffer from, really bad camera operators. Some of their clips, the camera operator is moving around so much and so quickly it will make you seasick. And that is just moving around, I am not talking about their overall unsteadiness and fumbling around with the camera. One of the saddier moments, was during a pov humiliation clip, you can clearly hear the camera operator heavy breathing through the entire clip. Not exactly turning anybody on. They also apply a porno attitude when making their scenes, even though this aint porno. Really tight closeups of some guys junk, ass, and face, means that I am hitting the fast forward button. Clubdom does not seem to understand that their members want to watch the woman do the beating, not watch the dude. If the slaves were so damn popular, they would have their own websites. The fact that the slaves don't have their own website, should be a hint for you. Also even though the site is updated every day, it literally is the same thing over and over again. The only thing that changes is the Better Homes and Garden locations. I could go on, but I am waiting for the next big thing in Femdom, and Clubdom aint it.

ClubDom has improved since this review, and since the summer of 2010 has posted many videos in 1280x720 size, both as WMV and MOV. These are spectacular.
They've also done something I've seen at no other site - Twilight Zone scenarios, such as a Domme playing with a man about six inches tall, using special effects. These are novelties but they must have taken a lot of work.

I am trying to implement Zimbra web client logout redirection to cause the Zimbra web client to redirect to a particular URL at logout rather than returning to the login page.

|Cato Policy Analysis No. 59
|September 25, 1985
by Karen Lehrman and Jana Pace
Karen Lehrman is managing editor and Jana Pace is associate editor of Consumers' Research magazine.
Executive Summary
The regulation of day care is 100 years old this year.[1] In the past 15 to 20 years, however, day-care regulation has come to consume $47 million of taxpayers' money.[2] Today, all 50 states and the District of Columbia have some day-care regulations. More significant, day-care facilities are also subject to a host of local zoning, building, health, fire, and safety statutes. These regulations, which vary from state to state and municipality to municipality, can dictate everything from the time a facility opens to the width of the exit door. The intent of these regulations is to ensure minimum health and safety standards for the children and to guarantee responsible care by the day-care provider. Unfortunately, many requirements do little to achieve these aims, while a major effect of regulation has been to raise the cost of day-care services, driving providers underground and limiting the number of children who can benefit. Unnecessary regulations are stifling the supply of day care at a time when the need has never been greater and shows every sign of continuing to surge.

What is male infant circumcision?
Male infant circumcision is a surgery that forcibly retracts and removes the prepuce (foreskin) of the penis. This is done by using specialized circumcision clamps, hemostats (sharp tipped needle nose pliers with locking clamps), blunt probes and sometimes plastic rings.
A first hand account of a circumcision seen for the first time as a nursing student.
"We students filed into the newborn nursery to find a baby strapped spread-eagle to a plastic board on a countertop across the room. He was struggling against his restraints - tugging, whimpering, and then crying helplessly. No one was tending the infant, but when I asked my instructor if I could comfort him, she said, "Wait till the doctor gets here."...When he did arrive, I immediately asked the doctor if I could help the baby. He told me to put my finger in the baby's mouth; I did, and the baby sucked. I stroked his little head and spoke softly to him. He began to relax and was momentarily quiet.
The silence was soon broken by a piercing scream - the baby's reaction to having his foreskin pinched and crushed as the doctor attached the clamp to his penis. The shriek intensified when the doctor inserted an instrument between the foreskin and the glans...tearing the two structures apart...The baby started shaking his head back and forth - the only part of his body free to move - as the doctor used another clamp to crush the foreskin lengthwise, which he then cut...The baby began to gasp and choke, breathless from his shrill continuous screams...I found my own sobs difficult to contain. How much longer could this go on?
During the next stage of the surgery, the doctor crushed the foreskin against the circumcision instrument and then, finally, amputated it. The baby was limp, exhausted and spent.
I had not been prepared, nothing could have prepared me, for this experience. To see a part of this baby's penis being cut off - without an anesthetic - was devastating. But even more shocking was the doctor's comments, barely audible several octaves below the piercing screams of the baby, "There is no medical reason for doing this." I couldn't believe my ears, my knees became weak, and I felt sick to my stomach..." Observe a circumcision before you decide.

Did You Know?
- involuntary circumcision can create negative psychological issues later on in life, such as anger, betrayal, low self esteem and sexual shame?
Historically, it's been difficult to gather information on male infant circumcision. It's also been difficult to find any benefits pertaining to the natural male anatomy. All of this is changing. Since the birth of the information age, Americans are learning that, outside of Israel, America has the highest neonatal circumcision rate of 32.5% (2009 Reference CDC) in the world. They are one of the few remaining societies that practices secular infant circumcision. England, the country that helped give North America the modern form of the ritual, has stopped performing secular infant circumcision since the 1950's. Even Canada's circumcision rate, as of 2005, was at 9.2% and dropping 0.5% per year - Australia's rates are comparable. In the past, many American women weren't even given a choice - they were told by their doctor's that their baby would be circumcised - only to find out later that it wasn't medically necessary.
Today, there is more information available then ever before. Please feel free to browse the links on this website.

The Harpy Hall of Fame is dedicated to those women who worked on behalf of advancing women's rights, contributed to reshaping gender roles, or were just generally awesome and badass. Unstinting in their desire to achieve their goals, these remarkable women left legacies that continue to resonate today.
"No woman can call herself free who does not own and control her body. No woman can call herself free until she can choose consciously whether she will or will not be a mother."—Margaret Sanger
Born Margaret Higgins in a free-thinking family in upstate New York, Sanger's parents were activists for women's suffrage, free education and socialism. But they were working class, and Irish Catholic, and as the sixth of eleven children, Margaret Sanger spent much of her early life caring for her younger siblings. Witnessing her mother's death at age 40, after 18 pregnancies, stayed with her for the rest of her life.
Sanger moved to New York City as a married woman, and worked as a nurse midwife in slums of the Lower East Side. Appalled by the constant influx of patients suffering and dying from sexually transmitted diseases, botched abortions and back-to-back pregnancies, Sanger took action, distributing a pamphlet called Family Limitation, and writing a column for the New York Call entitled "What Every Girl Should Know." She not only advocated contraception, she attacked both church and state for refusing to acknowledge the spread of sexually transmitted diseases, and accused the Patriarchy of deliberately keeping women ignorant about them. For her efforts, Sanger was repeatedly jailed for violating 1873's Comstock Law, which outlawed the distribution of all contraceptive information and devices (naturally, the Comstock law created a thriving black market in condoms, douches and suppositories). In 1914 she fled the country to avoid prosecution for mailing contraceptive information. But even then, Sanger never gave up; while in exile in Holland, she learned about a new form of contraceptive—the diaphragm—and arranged to have them smuggled into the US.
On October 16, 1916, Sanger opened a family planning and birth control clinic in the Brownsville neighborhood of Brooklyn, the first of its kind in the United States. Police raided it nine days later and Sanger served 30 days in prison. After 1918, when a ruling exempted physicians from the law banning distribution of contraceptive information, Sanger made it her goal to involve the medical establishment in her fight for contraception. With the help of her wealthy supporters, including John D. Rockefeller, Sanger opened the first legal birth control clinic, one staffed entirely by female doctors and social workers. She founded the American Birth Control League in 1921. The League eventually merged with Sanger's Birth Control Clinical Research Bureau to form today's Planned Parenthood. It was Margaret Sanger who coined the terms "birth control" and "family planning."
In recent years Margaret Sanger has been attacked as a racist and eugenicist—and, indeed, some of her writings about race are indefensible—and for her radical socialism (she was an ally of anarchist Emma Goldman). But Sanger's commitment to a woman's right to control her own fertility and protect her health is unimpeachable, and has done nothing but benefit the lives of women worldwide. If you take the Pill, use a diaphragm, have an IUD, buy condoms, have ever read a book on women's health or even just skimmed a pamphlet in an ob-gyn's office, you have Margaret Sanger to thank. Without her, all those things might still be illegal.
In 2000, Time Magazine named Margaret Sanger one of the 100 most important people of the 20th century. Gloria Steinem's accompanying essay read:
"Indeed, she lived as if she and everyone else had the right to control her or his own life. By word and deed, she pioneered the most radical, humane and transforming political movement of the century."

I DO think it's funny how people go on and on about all the players the Pirates have traded away... After Ramierez not many of them have done ANYTHING since being traded... I don't blame them for trying to get something in return while they could, the only problem is the previous regime made HORRIBLE trades and did even worse drafting. Now they are at least investing in young talent, spending more in the draft and scouting than any other team and signing 3 of the top 5 teenage pitchers in the world. Things will turn around, but blindly throwing money at free agents is not the way to do it.

Mint Hill weighs future of Madness at January meeting
Mint Hill Madness, the yearly festival that has been presented by the Chamber of Commerce for the last three decades, took center stage at last Thursday's Board of Commissioners' meeting.
The Mint Hill Chamber of Commerce is relinquishing their management of the event turning that responsibility over to a nonprofit organization that will be created solely to manage Mint Hill Madness.
Nancy Bradley and Marty Cocking of RelyLocal, presented the board with information and plans for the future of the festival, citing the mission of the new Madness, "to bring back vitality to Mint Hill Madness by repurposing the festival to support local 501(c)3 charitable organizations to foster community and help rebuild economic growth in Mint Hill."
The proposition is to create a board of directors that will manage the nonprofit, Mint Hill Madness, which will make all executive decisions regarding the festival.

Very disapointing. I used the prooper sized pan but the batter went over the sides of the pan and all over the boottom of my oven. The center of the cake was soggy, even though I cooked it longer than suggested. Too much almond extract flavor. It was hard to remove from the baking pan. How long should it be left in the pan before removing? It fell apart while trying to remove it because of the soggy center. :(
I made this cake today. I had no apricots but I had canned pears and it turned out wonderful my whole family loved it.
I wanted recepies that does not use eggs. I was delighted when I saw 260 choices. When I looked it up most of them contained EGGS. This apricot cake sounded so good and something I can serve to my grand daughter who is alergic to EGGS. Can I omit the EGGS and what would I use in it's place. Thank you.

Help support your Meetup
Welcome to our 2013 Fall Season!
We'll be looking at the communication and organization aspects of life, as we well continuing to explore these subjects:
- Quantum - how we create our own reality, including The Law of Attraction, setting our intentions and trusting in the universe
- Love & Gratitude - the book and the concepts
- Relationships - how we interact with each other, different modalities that can exist for what constitutes a relationship
- The patterns of life - the "program" - how we can stop the same patterns affecting us over and over.
- Transhumanism - from time to time we'll look at this since understanding how the human being is changing and upgrading can help us greatly to understand what it really means to be human.
We will also continue to look at some fun tools that can help us understand ourselves and others, help us create a better space for ourselves, and help provide points of focus for us, including:
- Meditations and Visualizations - Astrology - Tarot and other divination tools - Feng Shui
If you have any interest in giving a presentation on any of these subjects, please contact me directly.
We typically meet at my home in Mansfield, and we encourage everyone to brings snacks or beverages to share, or a small donation. See you soon!

I notice a few comments regarding windows media player. I totally agree it's horrible and never should be used to play any movies or shows. I have found that VLC media player is good along with Jetaudio and MPC Star. If one players has a problem with a file I know that I have another to fall back on. And they are all free to download. And by the way THANK YOU SOOO....Much for the upload of Supernatural Season 4! It's XCELLENT! ;-*

Warner Bros. has replaced one titan with another on biopic "American Sniper," centering on a Navy SEAL with more than 150 confirmed kills, set to star Bradley Cooper. Steven Spielberg dropped out, and now Clint Eastwood has stepped in to direct.
Jason Hall ("Paranoia") penned the script, adapted from the book "American Sniper: The Autobiography of the Most Lethal Sniper in US Military History" by Chris Kyle, Scott McEwan and Jim DeFelice.
Eastwood, whose last big-screen helming venture was 2011's "J. Edgar," is currently in pre-production on musical "Jersey Boys." He will begin "American Sniper" once filming for the former has completed.

Hello fellow guildmembers,
I'm proud to show the final version of this map, that I worked on for the last few months - Port Sol, City of the Pirate Kings. Many of you followed the painfully long process of its creation in the maps WIP-Thread. I'm really happy that this is finally done and I don't think that it would've turned out the way it did without the help of the great community on this board. There were many helpful advice posted to the WIP-thread and many helped to improve the map.
I'd like o thank Alecthar, Neon Knight (pleased with the scale bar?), Ascension and Steel General for their insightful comments on certin features of Port Sol. A special thank you to RobA for helping with the domes and to Gandwarf, who never failed to point out, how huge the walls are and that the map "loses some of its charm when zoomed in".
Note: This map was created to be printed at size A3. When it's printed out, it's not as detailed as in the 'zoomed in' resolution the board provides.
The story behind the map
The city of Port Sol will be an important location in our current D&D campaign. Port Sol is a nearly lawless town, run by a council of pirate kings, that divided the quarters of the city between the most powerful captains. It's a haven of trade for all kinds of illegal stuff - drugs, poisons, contrabands and the like.
Port Sol was founded on the southern peninsula of a big, tropical island, that's mostly overgrown with thick rainforests. The port city was built on the ruins of a far older civilization, that was long gone by the time the first of the ambitious pirates showed up. There's not much known about these people, but they must've been of giant kin or descendants of titans, because the building structures that are left over from these ancient times, indicate that they were far taller than humans. The only buildings that are still standing today, are parts of a massive city walls and several temples, once dedicated to dark and long forgotten gods of the sea.
Today, Port Sol is a busy harbour city. Despite its reputation as a dangerous place, where only the strong and cautious can survive to make a living, ships from all around the world set sail to openly trade in goods, that are banned in most kingdoms and free cities. Though its exitence is a thorn in the eye to many rulers of the southern kingdoms, the cities ties to some of the most important merchant guilds and its connections to shady but powerful noble families, that make a fortune out of trading drugs and other vile substances, keep it from being bothered by the navy ships, that patrol the mayor trade routes across the Nighted Sea. The city is bustling with visitors from all over the world, trading or seeking amusement of all kind in the countless taverns and shops, that are lining the streets in the shadow of the giant walls that dominate the cities skyline. Besides bing able to buy nearly anything imaginable - from exotic spices and goods to magic items and even powerful, cursed artifacts - Port Sol is also a haven for cultists of dark gods, hunted criminals or people with radical political or social opinions. As long as the peace on the streets is kept and the trade isn't disturbed, you're free to do as you please and enjoy the diverse and often dark and forbidden pleasures that are offered in this city of scoundrels and cutthroats.
Mapping goals
When I thought about how to do the map, I set myself some goals to achive while doing it, so that I won't get lost in the options a powerful program like GIMP offers. I first wanted to take a more artistic approach and make it look like a handdrawn pirate map, but I quickly skipped the idea, as I couldn't think of a nice way to make it work with my other goals towards the map. The most important aspect of the Port Sol map was its practical usabillity at the gaming table. This isn't something to hang up my wall. It will hopefully see hours of exciting game play while lying on the table for many sessions. So, with this in mind, I aimed for a clean look and style. I wanted everything to be easily recognizable for every player around the table and from any angle of view. Diverse colors and clean contrast hopefully help the player to discern buildings from ruins and so on. I tried to give most buildings (at least the larger ones) a unique look, so that it's easier for the players to recognize and remember important locations in the city. On top of this, I wanted it to be nice and interesting for the players to look at, without it having too many details that would turn out distracting. Well, in some places it looks a little crowded, but hopefully still clean. I have to admid, that I cramped as much city as I could into this A3 map...
The creation of the map
The creation of this map presented a serious challenge to me. It was the first time, that I created a city map entirely in GIMP. I used a Wacom Bamboo to draw buildings and other structures and it was a strange experience to actually draw digitally for the first time. Prior to this map, I only used the Bamboo as a kind of advanced mouse and in tandem with the real mouse to hurry things up. I guess, if I'd do this map again, I'd use Inkscpe to draw the outlines and then do the rest in GIMP. The lines just look smoother when done with a vector-based software.
The process of creating was frustrating from time to time. I did lots of time-consuming things that didn't make it to the final map. At one point, I guess I juggled with about sixty layers. It was pure madness...
The trees took much of my remaining sanity...
I didn't touch the map for days several times during its creation because I was very busy at work or got stuck with certain problems. Sometimes it was a good idea to just let it rest or a few days and then tackle it again. Many scary looking "poblems" just disappeared, when I took them on again after a few days, because in the meantime I came up with an idea to do certain things in a different way or realised a mistake I made and so on. I guess I really know how to use about 75% of the software now. Layers, masks and filters aren't strange things to me anymore. Many of the (sometimes frustrating) things I learned while builing Port Sol will be very, very useful in future maps. But I also got rid of the illusion that digital mapping isn't as time consuming as the old school ways. No, it takes much, much longer...
I'm mostly pleased with how it finally turned out. I could've tinkered on endlessly with it, but I guess you just have to stop at some point and consider it finished. I'm still not pleased with how the sea looks (it's just too silent...) and there should be ships in the harbour and so on... I'd do many things different, when I'd do this anew, but I guess it'll be more fun to unleash this gathered knowledge on a new map!
Well, thanks again to all that were along for the ride. Any questions regarding Port Sol or its creation will be answered here or in the WIP-thread.

I'm new to .Net and I'm trying to understand the basics first. What is the difference between MSIL and Java bytecode?
First off let me say that I don't think that the subtle differences between Java bytecode and MSIL is something that should bother a novice .NET developer. They both serve the same purpose of defining an abstract target machine which is a layer above the physical machine being used in the end.
MSIL and Java bytecode are very similar, in fact there is a tool called Grasshopper which translates MSIL to Java bytecode, I was part of the development team for Grasshopper so I can share a bit of my (faded) knowledge. Please note that I stopped working on this around when .NET framework 2.0 came out so some of these things may not be true any more (if so please leave a comment and I'll correct it).
There are other language differences but most of them are not expressed at the byte code level, for example if memory serves Java's non-
They are essentially doing the same thing, MSIL is Microsoft's version of Java bytecode.
The main differences internally are:
A lot more information and a detailed comparison can be found in this article by K John Gough (postscript document)
CIL (the proper name for MSIL) and Java bytecode are more the same than they are different. There are some important differences though:
1) CIL was designed from the beginning to serve as a target for multiple languages. As such, it supports a much richer type system including signed and unsigned types, value types, pointers, properties, delegates, events, generics, an object-system with a single root, and more. CIL supports features not required for the initial CLR languages (C# and VB.NET) such as global functions and tail-call optimizations. In comparision, Java bytecode was designed as a target for the Java language and reflects many of the constraints found in Java itself. It would be a lot harder to write C or Scheme using Java bytecode.
2) CIL was designed to integrate easily into native libraries and unmanaged code
3) Java bytecode was designed to be either interpreted or compiled while CIL was designed assuming JIT compilation only. That said, the initial implementation of Mono used an interpreter instead of a JIT.
4) CIL was designed (and specified) to have a human readable and writable assembly language form that maps directly to the bytecode form. I believe that Java bytecode was (as the name implies) meant to be only machine readable. Of course, Java bytecode is relatively easily decompiled back to the original Java and, as shown below, it can also be "disassembled".
I should note that the JVM (most of them) is more highly optimized than the CLR (any of them). So, raw performance might be a reason to prefer targeting Java bytecode. This is an implementation detail though.
Some people say that the Java bytecode was designed to be multi-platform while CIL was designed to be Windows only. This is not the case. There are some "Windows"isms in the .NET framework but there are none in CIL.
As an example of point number 4) above, I wrote a toy Java to CIL compiler a while back. If you feed this compiler the following Java program:
my compiler will spit out the following CIL:
This is a valid CIL program that can be fed into a CIL assembler like
You can also compile the Java program above with the
There are not that much differences. Both are intermediate formats of the code you wrote. When executed, the Virtual machines will execute the intermediate language managed that means that the Virtual Machine controls the variables and calls. There is even a language which I don't remeber right now that can run at .Net and Java the same way.
Basicly, it's just another format for the same thing
Edit: Found the language (besides Scala): It's FAN (http://www.fandev.org/), looks very interesting, but no time yet to evaluate
CIL aka MSIL is intended to be human-readable. Java bytecode is not.
Think of Java bytecode as being machine code for hardware that does not exist (but which JVMs emulate).
CIL is more like assembly language - one step from machine code, while still being human-readable.
Agreed, the differences are minute enough to ingore as a beginner. If you want to learn .Net starting from the basics, I'd recommend looking at the Common Language Infrastructure, and the Common Type System.
Serge Lidin authored a decent book on the details of MSIL: Expert .NET 2.0 IL Assembler. I also was able to pick up MSIL quickly by looking at simple methods using .NET Reflector and Ildasm (Tutorial).
The concepts between MSIL and Java bytecode are very similar.
I think MSIL should not compare to Java bytecode, but "the instruction that comprise the Java bytecodes".
There is no name of disassembled java bytecode. "Java Bytecode" should be an unofficial alias, as I cannot find its name in official document. The Java Class File Disassembler say
Both "Java VM instructions" and "MSIL" are assembled into .NET bytecode and Java code, which are not human readable.


text: The warm and wet weather pattern will continue into Wednesday across eastern Carolina. A stationary front across Virginia coupled with warm, moist air will contribute to numerous showers and a few thunderstorms into Wednesday. The shower activity will be more concentrated on the coast by Wednesday afternoon while inland communities will see a bit more sunshine. Highs will reach the middle to upper 80s inland but the clouds and showers will keep it a bit cooler near the beaches. We should see slightly warmer temperatures on Thursday as get more sunshine but more numerous showers and storms will arrive Friday afternoon through Saturday.

In case you are not all up on your abbreviations, that title stands for Boston Triathlon Team Indoor Time Trial Race Report. I did this race last year so this was to be a good test on where I am now compared with last year. I have some wattages to report this year on my training rides since I have the Computrainer, but last year I just bought it about 3 days before I started riding outside, so I had no numbers there to compare to.
Last year, this test of my biking skills turned out to be a pretty huge disaster. I can't even begin to describe how badly it went, nor do I really know why that was the case. I just know it sucked bigtime. It was my first experience in an indoor time trial and I had been warned that it was going to be worse than running a 5K. No way, I thought. Nothing can possibly be more painful than running a 5K. Oh, how wrong I was. And I learned the hard way. I remember starting out ok, but then pretty much just plain dying towards the end as my average wattage dropped like a rock and my heart rate jumped to 194 while my eyes crossed and I think I started drooling. Once I finally finished last in my heat, I collapsed in a heap over my handlebars and it took several minutes for me to regain the strength to sit up again.
This year wasn't quite like that. Oh sure, it was painful, but it was also far more tolerable, and the result was so much better. The circumstances were slightly different, as last year this race came at the end of a build week and this week it was at the end of a rest week, but that only counts for so much, and in this case it was way too much of a difference for it to be the only reason for such a drastic improvement.
Sure, it helped that yesterday was a total rest day. I can't tell you how happy I was to know that there was a Saturday morning in which I could just get out of bed whenever I felt like it and I didn't have to get on my bike for hours on end. I'd also have loved to scarf down some chocolate chip pancakes or something, but this was not that kind of day. I just had to enjoy the couch time. I'd say I made it to about 11am before I started going crazy. Fortunately, TBS had a pretty good Saturday movie line-up on. Between that, reading and learning a couple of new songs on my guitar, I filled the time. I sure did get my rest.
Anyway, this morning was the second day in a row in which I did not have to get up early for anything in particular since my heat didn't go off until 12:20 and it takes me about an hour to get to Boston. Or at least, it's supposed to. After some more TV watching (mellowing out and prepping for the race) my applesauce and such (1.5 cups is a whole lot easier to get down than the 3 cups I have to do before an Ironman) I was in the car and headed downtown. This year was also better than last year because it wasn't snowing and scary to drive down. Just sunny and windy.
I should've learned from my mistake of last year following these directions that Google maps is unaware that there is no longer a Charlesgate exit off Storrow Drive. I lived less than a mile from Comm Ave for 4 years and know exactly where it is and should've trusted my instincts to get off at Fenway, but no, I decided to follow the directions and wind up backtracking my way through Brookline, hitting red lights every 30 feet and watching the clock tick closer and closer to my heat. And then when I finally made my way to Comm Ave, the home of Landry's, I couldn't turn the direction I needed to go. Can you say frustration? I wound up being probably 40 minutes later than I needed to be after finding myself a parking space on some side street and making my way inside. I had at least managed to get down some caffeine before, so I was ready to go in that regard.
Once inside, I went to register and I wasn't all that worried because I remembered that last year they were running really late and we started at least 30 minutes after we were supposed to. Well, just my luck, we were set to start exactly on time. Great. I had just enough time to strip off my warm clothes, throw on my bike shoes, down my gel and walk over to where the guy was setting up my bike. I was supposed to warm up before, but that wasn't going to happen. That didn't bother me though, I've never been much for warming up. So after holding up the whole group (I knew almost all of them anyway, they can give me a hard time later) it was finally just about time to get started. Callibrated, ready to go.
Off we went. Suddenly I realized I couldn't remember if I was supposed to shoot for 275 watts or 285 watts. But for the first few minutes it didn't really matter anyway because I was sort of lost and spaced out and not sure what to focus my attention on. I also realized early on that due to the fact that my bike has been attached to my computrainer and in the same gear for the past 3 months or so, it was suddenly nearly impossible to change gears. The course was "hilly" so changing gears would be helpful. After a few minutes of thinking maybe I could get through without changing gears, I decided I needed to be a bit more forceful with my shifters, and eventually they loosened up enough that I could at least use a few of the middle cogs, even if I couldn't get to all of them.
When I finally was able to turn my attention to my watts on the screen, I saw that I was well over 300. Now, granted, I couldn't remember the exact number I was supposed to hit, but I for sure knew that it was not over 300, so I tried to settle down a bit. I had been worried about this ride since I hadn't done any hard bike workouts since... um, September I think? Maybe you can count my bike ride in Kona, but mostly that ride just destroyed my will to live (ever face a head wind for the last 30 miles of 112 mile ride when it's 90+ degrees out and you know you're going to drop out of the stupid race anyway? I don't recommend it) So I really didn't think that it was going to go well.
Somewhere in the middle of the 10K effort I settled down a bit and stayed closer to where I was supposed to be, or at least where I thought I was supposed to be. Somewhere towards the middle I started feeling that painful burning in my legs that made me wonder how far away I might be from what I consdered to be the inevitable crash and burn. But there were a few "downhills" that I spun out and relaxed a bit on before upping the gears again and pushing it.
The last stretch is up, up, up. I wasn't looking forward to it. But I decided to just put my head down and try and maintain a steady but hard pace. It was all going to be over soon. Then at some point the guy started saying that I was on pace to take the lead for the women on the day, so I can't say that that didn't suddenly motivate me to push a little harder. The worst part I think is when other people in your heat start finishing and you're still going. All those guys who can push well over 300 watts. It's not fair. But I was getting closer. At some point I finally kicked it into a big gear, stood up and pushed my way to the end, finishing in some amount of time I can't at all remember, but definitely several minutes faster than last year. I averaged 282 watts which was a whopping 50 watts faster than last year. It's hard to compare last year with this year, since I was in such a bad place 365 days ago, but it's still nice to know that there was a lot of improvement.
It's such a good feeling to have a positive experience. And ok, just after I typed that sentence I was thinking about when the last positive triathlon-type experience I've had was, and it was at the beginning of September, when I won a tiny sprint race nearly 6 months ago. No WONDER I've felt so crappy about my training and racing lately! Hopefully I won't screw it all up immediately by having a horrible race next weekend in Hyannis. But for now, I'll just bask in my time trial effort and be glad that I was late and didn't waste all of that extra energy on a stupid warm-up. (I'm kidding about that last part, surely I would've averaged at least 325 watts if I had warmed up properly and not been so rushed... and yes, I'm kidding about that, too.)

Update: Well, you can scratch one blockbuster out of the way for 2015—Variety reveals that "Independence Day 2" will now land on July 1, 2016, almost exactly 20 years since the first movie, which will certainly help things out on the marketing end (especially if Will Smith doesn't return).
Better start saving your allowance, because the summer of 2015 is already looking like a clusterfuck. What's coming between the start of May and end of August that year? How about: "The Avengers: Age of Ultron," "Tomorrowland," "Jurassic World," "Inside Out," "Ted 2," "Terminator 5,"
" Independence Day 2 ," "Batman Vs. Superman" and "Ant-Man." That not enough for you? Get ready, because even more is being added to Hollywood's bloat of 2015...
Some release dates have been shuffled around today and "Fantastic Four," originally slated for March 2015, will now drop on June 19, 2015. Fox has moved "Assassin's Creed" off that date and slated it for August 7, 2015, while Melissa McCarthy is throwing her comedy muscle into the mix with the spy spoof "Susan Cooper" arriving on May 22, 2015. Also coming into 2015? Matthew Vaughn's "The Secret Service," which has been shifted from late 2014 to March 6, 2015.
So what accounts for all this maneuvering? Perhaps the confirmation that Disney will now drop "Star Wars: Episode 7" on December 18, 2015 instead of during its traditional May frame has given Fox at least a bit more confidence to fill the gaps. But with two years to go, plenty of maneuvering is still likely left to happen.
And lastly, an update about a movie coming much sooner: Jason Reitman's "Labor Day" will now go wide on January 31, 2014.

|Don't just stand there, do something!
|Wednesday, 11 March 2009 11:41
How YOU can ensure Financial Literacy Education in Bahamian Youth!
We've all heard the term, "Don't just stand there, do something". It is so popular that there have been books and countless articles written on the topic. It is most used when an individual wants to move a person or group or persons from a passive state of being to an active one.
Consider this phrase: A community where people get involved for the benefit of others is a better community.
It has been said countless times by countless people, that the Bahamas is a society of bystanders. I don't know if I fully believe this but there are things that I feel we can become more actively involved in – namely ensuring that our young people become better educated about financial matters that will undoubtedly affect them in their adult lives.
Kids, teens and young adults more than ever need financial skills. Today, with the economy in the state that it's in, money-smarts should rank right up there with book smarts!
Look at the phase again. The word "others" refer to our youth - the future generations of our country. Isn't this a significant demographic? Shouldn't we all be actively involved in ensuring that our young people get to live in a society that is much better than the one we are currently experiencing? Yes we should!! It undoubtedly would lead to a better community.
From the time I formed Creative Wealth Bahamas until now, I've have received countless feedback and accolades from people loving what I do. "Keep doing what you're doing" is one statement I hear most often. I truly appreciate the words of encouragement.
However, changing the mindset and culture of Bahamians is a not an easy task. We are naturally a consumer nation – one that spends before we save; a nation that think first of living as employees and not as employers. We are seeing and experiencing however, the affects of this mindset today. Therefore, every extra hand toward financial and entrepreneurial education can take us one step closer to correcting it.
No matter what role you play in society, ask yourself, what can I do to contribute to the financial literacy movement in The Bahamas?
Here are a few opportunities that may help you answer that question.
1. Volunteer your time or ideas
How can you? There are programs being scheduled for our youth all the time. An extra hand and extra set of eyes are always welcome. For our Camp Millionaire program this summer, consider volunteering your some time to share your personal experience with the kids; let them learn from your stories. Whether good or bad, there is a lesson that can be learned. Do you have any other skills or ideas that would benefit our youth? Share them; they would be put to good use.
2. Become a youth financial literacy trainer
If you like teaching and are passionate making a difference in our society consider becoming certified to teach one of our financial literacy curriculums for youth. Maybe you are a youth pastor looking to better empower those you influence. Maybe you are a financial advisor looking to reach your clients' children. The opportunities are also available for adult trainers as well. The good thing is that you do not have to be a certain age or have a financial degree to teach, you just have to have a willingness to learn and a desire to make a difference in our country! Once you commit, you will be equipped with the knowledge, skills, resources, and most importantly, the mindset to teach financial literacy programs in your community.
3. Promote financial literacy in your community
Ok, so you don't want to teach but have some event planning or entrepreneurial skills. Great! You can make a difference by setting up financial literacy programs for kid, teen or adult groups you know. The need of financial literacy education in our country is huge and the audiences who will benefit from it are equally vast! One person definitely cannot reach everyone alone. Plan, promote and price your own programs within schools, churches or communities and we will be happy to teach it. Everyone wins!
4. Refer a Friend or family member
You might say that you do not know a group of people. Fair enough, but I am sure that you know at least one person. Further, that one person you know may be closer than you think. Financial education should start at home with your family and friends. Do you know a parent whose children need to learn the value of a dollar? Is there a camp director, school principal or teacher, youth leader or church administrator you know that might like to do something meaningful for their kids or adults? If so, Refer Them! Help them to see the benefit of making sure their children are money smart and ready for their financial future. Whether you tell one or ten, you would have done your part. Even if every person simply adopts the "each one, reach one" approach, the country's future would begin to look bright.
5. Write to the "powers that be"
Drugs, burglary, petty theft, murder. The real crime? Many local crimes that are committed all have a single thing in common: someone was desperate enough to compromise their morals in the acquisition of money.. These crimes are the symptoms of a society that does not understand their basic system of exchange. As a result, more and more countries around the world are requiring that financial literacy be taught in schools. During a national address, John Hope Bryant, an international advocate of financial literacy made a key point… "Kids are not succeeding in high school because they do not believe that the education is relevant to their future." When they don't succeed they begin to choose a life of crime. When asked how to make it relevant Mr. Bryant responded with confidence; "show a kid how to get rich legally, teach him the language of money – give them financial literacy!"
Do you really want to jumpstart the financial literacy movement in The Bahamas?
Write to the powers that be (i.e. the politicians, pastors, school principals, the media etc) demanding that our country, our schools, our financial institutions develop some kind of ongoing financial literacy training for our youth. Financial literacy needs to become a priority today. If we all begin to write, they will listen!
6. Finally, Donate
The biggest Catch-22 about teaching financial literacy is that it costs money to learn about making and managing money. However, together, we can collectively ensure that financial literacy education reach those persons who are not able afford one. You can help by sponsoring a child to attend a financial literacy program or event. Think of those in the various children's homes, or the Yeast, or Pace or similar programs. If you have a donation account, consider using some of it to help the financial literacy movement. No matter the amount, you can help those who need it the most. A quote by Hada Bejar sums this point up so eloquently, "The fragrance always stays in the hand that gives the rose."
It was Ghandi who said it: Be the change you want to see in the world. In this case, we can paraphrase that as, "Make the change you want to see in your country's future."
The way to improve our country's obvious financial illiteracy statistics is by doing something about it! The way to help our youth to become financially knowledgeable and put our country in competent hands 10 years from now is by actively supporting the efforts of others.
Money is a universal language that we do not teach our kids, hence, most adults in this world do not have a clue about how to create financial independence for themselves. Teaching financial literacy programs strikes a chord with everyone I talk to and is a problem that touches every country of the world and all of its people. It is one of the most important life skills that kids generally are not taught –others being relationships, parenting, health and wellness. Something must be done!
It is said that if you want to succeed in business - find a product or service that fills a need. Besides world hunger and world peace, this seems to meet that qualification. Creative Wealth is more than just a business endeavor for me.. It is a movement that I want to see grow in our country. If everyone in the world could become financially independent, perhaps world hunger and world peace wouldn't be that far off!
The last question to ask yourself is an easy one:
Am I doing something toward this cause or am I just standing there?
By being brutally honest about the answer to this question, you can better put yourself in a position to make a difference and help us get results in our country that we need.

I voted last fall to legalize marijuana. It was a reluctant yes, though, because I've been to the Netherlands and seen firsthand how legal pot comes with its own raft of problems.
In fact the Netherlands now appears headed in the opposite direction, toward stronger regulation of pot.
But never was I more pleased with my vote than Monday, when the first-ever report on pot-possession arrests for all 50 states
came out.
There has been no stupider, more pointless plank in the War on Drugs than arresting people for simple pot possession. Not for dealing drugs. Just having some pot was enough to make you a criminal.
- Students seeking sugar daddies for tuition, rent
- Seattle-based seafood company shuts down
- What's the top spelling 'mistake' in Washington state? The answer could make you sick
- UW receiver Isaiah Renfro opens up about depression, announces he's leaving team
- So the NRA sends a questionnaire to a Seattle state senator ...
Most Read Stories
And guess what? Not only were arrests for pot soaring, peaking in 2007. But around here we've been hauling in blacks at nearly three times the rate of whites. Even though blacks and whites tend to smoke pot at the same rates.
The report by the American Civil Liberties Union, using data from the federal government, is the largest review of pot arrests by county and race ever done. It shows what a waste it all was. And also how inequitably the law was applied.
The worst place in our state, if you're black, was Pierce County. Blacks there were 4.2 times more likely to get popped for pot possession than whites.
King County had lower arrest rates than Pierce County, but blacks in King County still were arrested at more than twice the rate as whites.
Almost anywhere in America, the pot arrest rate for blacks is two to eight times what it is for whites. This is not a drug like crack that's used more by African Americans. It also isn't a big-city thing. Even in Franklin County in Eastern Washington's wheat belt, blacks were arrested for pot at 2.8 times higher rates than whites.
"Such racial disparities in marijuana possession arrests exist in all regions of the country, in counties large and small, urban and rural, wealthy and poor, and with large and small black populations," the report notes.
Are we just incorrigibly racist?
UW professor Katherine Beckett, who wasn't involved in this study but found in 2008 that blacks in Seattle are 13 times more likely than whites to be arrested for dealing drugs, said no, it isn't all necessarily due to racist intent.
For example: Police tend to focus on neighborhoods with high levels of street crime, which typically are poorer and have more minorities. That often leads to over-enforcement of chippy crimes like pot possession.
"If you stop a lot of people in this state, in any part of the state, you will find a lot of marijuana," she said. "People of color tend to get stopped more."
Probably none of this comes as a shocker. And by legalizing pot, we have ended this long-running racial embarrassment. With respect to this one substance, anyway, for people 21 years and older.
But last week when I wrote how we're a tale of two cities on crime — the usually insulated city of privilege and the second city of gangs and street crime — many readers objected. Saying if there's a problem, it's solely of the second city's making.
"If you live in the city of drugs, thugs and drive-by shootings, it is because you want to. It just isn't that hard to escape," one reader summed up.
The choices we make matter, that's true.
But the deck also is stacked. The numbers prove it.
How it got that way is more complex than simple racism. But it's so stacked it doubtless does more to fuel the second city than temper it.

By: Jenée Desmond-Harris Posted: Nov. 7 2011 11:16 PM 0 Police officers with cameras raise policy questions: The cameras are particularly appealing in cities where the police have been accused of misconduct. But some say people should think hard about what it will mean to have officers show up at the front door with a camera rolling. Black men shortchanged by prostate-cancer report? A Howard University doctor takes on the conclusion of a report published by a U.S. Preventive Services Task Force committee stating that PSA testing should no longer be performed routinely on men in the United States. Why are so few black people "occupying" Wall Street? Greg Tate has 10 original reasons, including the "What would Jordan or Jay-Z do?" theory. Can we stop calling Gabourey Sidibe "Precious" now? In a piece for Madamenoir, Charring Bell argues that Sidibe finds herself in the awkward position of correcting people who have confused and continue to confuse the movie as some sort of documentary of her life -- and it has a lot to do with the black community's issues surrounding weight and skin color.

Taxes are due in less than a week and some folks are panicking, worried they won't get it done in time.
We sat down with a tax specialist in Belgrade to find out what folks need to remember as they're finishing up their taxes.
Leslie Madsen, owner of Focus Financial, tells us extensions are only meant for those who need more time to file their taxes, not more time to pay them.
She recommends signing up for an installment program if you can't pay.
Madsen also offers a few reminders folks in a rush might forget about.
"They miss a good review of their tax return, which would be comparing your tax return to the prior year tax return to make sure you haven't missed any deductions you've taken in the past, that you have made your IRA contributions. You're allowed to make them up to the due date of your tax return," explains Madsen.
Madsen also says don't be afraid of the IRS or the State of Montana. In her experience, most of the agency employees are kind and ready to help.
She adds, if you've completely forgotten about your taxes, you can file for an extension. The penalty for being late is based on how much you owe in taxes.
