Travelling Highway Blues (Best of Carson)
2000 Compilation by Raven Records CD
In their time together, the members of Carson issued three singles, including the memorable national hit 'Boogie (Part One)', and two highly regarded and collectable albums (Blown and the live On The Air). Raven has selected the best tracks (including six cuts from Blown and three from the live at Sunbury 1973 set On The Air) for presentation on Travelling Highway Blues.
As a bonus, there's the A-side of the incredibly rare, 1970 single by The Meating ('Bad Luck Feeling') which was a one-off collaboration between Greg Lawrie and blues master Matt Taylor. Travelling Highway Blues (The Best of Carson) is an important slice of Rock History, and will fill a gap in the collection of any self-respecting fan of 1970s Australian Music.

I hope DT star is being considered as well.hes considered the best 3-4 end. I really think he will be something special.
If the Chiefs are looking for a pass-rush up the middle, moving Hali to DE would be logical if they drafted Jordan. Hali measures almost identically to Osi. Osi is a bit quicker, but Hali is about 25lbs heavier. I think moving Hali to DE would suit him well. If you're drafting Jordan, you're doing it because he can basically play anywhere on the field. The guy is an athletic freak. You can put him on the pass-catching TE's in the league and not have to think twice about it. If you've got Hali still rushing the QB, you don't lose much by way of pass rush. I think Jordan would be a great pick primarily BECAUSE we have Hali and Houston. However, I DO think OT is a bigger need. But if you're trying to build a dominating defense, having Jordan, Hali, and Houston as your 3-down pass-rushers with Poe up the middle would go a long way.
Would like to see us get Joeckel
Texaschiefs you may have changed my mind. When you put it that way with outti.gbhali at end it does make sense and sounds really good. But still hope they consider star.
I suspect Jordan is being used as bait for a trade with Philly as Jordan's HC at Oregon was none other than the Eagles new HC, Chip Kelly.
From everything I've heard, the Chiefs are trying to address the inside pass rush. What better way to do that than putting one of the best pass rushers in the league on that line while replacing him at OLB with a guy like Jordan? If Osi can play 3-4 DE at 265, why couldn't Tamba at 275? Until Hali proves he can't play that position, I don't think we should assume that he can't just because he's a good 3-4 OLB. He has done a good job as a 4-3 DE of setting the edge against OT's, so there's no reason to think he can't hold his ground against the run. But again, the Chiefs are trying to improve the inside rush while allowing their LB's to make plays. If they upgrade at ILB in the draft, this defense could be a top 3 unit with Hali at DE.
With Albert on bad terms I think we have no choice but to get OL help. If its just a smokescreen and the regime feel they have that situation under control then we can go elsewhere with our pick. Remember our defense last season was great. We need to solidify our offense first cause I think we can make playoffs with the current defense without help, but the offense without Albert or one of the top prospects in this draft, were not going far

9 Best Haircuts for Curly HairPut down the flat iron. Follow these expert tips for getting a great curly haircut that will work for -- not against -- your waves |
Step 1: Apply a mousse with conditioning ingredients through damp hair (Mancuso loves Nexxus Mousse Plus Volumizing Foam Styler, $13.99.) Mancuso recommends using a mousse instead of a curling spray, because sprays can be too heavy and will cause hair to look overly coiled.
Step 2: Blow dry hair at the roots, then use a diffuser to blow dry the ends.
Step 3: Add a defining cream to your curls. Mancuso says, "You want to define the curls, but let some of the natural texture come through."
Step 4: Wrap sections of hair around a large 1 to 1-1/4-inch barrel curling iron. We love the Conair Infiniti Pro Professional Nano Tourmaline Ceramic 1-1/4" Curling Iron, $21.79.

Most of these women don't even have curly hair...it's just wavy or has obviously been heat styled and isn't naturally curly. The cuts are good suggestions though.

Great advice. My hair's a mix of curly and wavy, as well as medium and coarse textures. It can be complicated, but once I learned how to style it, it's become my best asset!

The women in photos do not do their hair. Stylists have told me it is hard for most people to to blow dry hair to make it look great. Ones has curly hair and to do it straight takes her long time. Wonder what they look like on their days off. When their hair is not professionally styled.

Modern Bologna
Bologna nowadays
Cheerful, lively, dynamic, animated by the free spirit of the people living in it and the vitality of many students that chose it, Bologna is one of the most interesting cities in Italy.
Surrounded by green hills, in the shade of the towers and under the porches, it hides countless masterpieces of art and architecture, like its century-old buildings, the ancient churches and the pieces of art of popular artists like Guercino, Guido Reni, Carracci and Morandi.
Bologna unveils all these beauties to those willing to discover them, with no hurry, strolling down its streets, enjoying gorgeous vistas from its porches and tasting the specialities of its cuisine. That is the only way to discover the secret that makes this city so fascinating, the strange chemistry that naturally blends culture and fun, efficiency and a convivial spirit, unique features, hard to find somewhere else. You will realize it just visiting it, even though often Bologna is not included in the main tourist itineraries, replaced by more popular destinations like Florence or Venice.
There are many reasons to visit Bologna though, as we can see from some of its nicknames, defining it as the "erudite" city, since it has one of the most prestigious and ancient universities in Europe, of the "fat city", with an irresistible food tradition, with tortellini, tagliatelle, the meat sauce and salami, appreciated all over the world. It is also called the "red city", due to the roofs of the houses, coloured in yellow, pink or orange, creating a cosy atmosphere that makes anyone cheerful, the same cheerfulness we find in the character of its inhabitants, open and kind, people renowned for a rare value: knowing how to enjoy the pleasures of life.
You can see all this delving into the atmosphere surrounding Bologna, enjoying the pleasant moments of the day in this city, like drinking a glass of wine, chatting with friends. And if the cheerful spirit of this city tantalizes anyone that visits it, the quality of life in Bologna is very high as well. The city is on a human scale, and this feature makes it pleasant and enjoyable, with its beautiful squares and green areas, authentic relaxing oasis. Visit it, you will not be deceived.

Step – 2 Next, Click on > System Preferences > Accessibility and scroll down on the left pane and choose "Dictation".
Step – 3 Put a Check mark next to "Enable Advanced Commands" and you will see that it will start downloading the dialects into your local machine.
Define a custom phrase that when you say will order a sequence of actions in your mac.You can set the command to work in all apps or a specific one, then click the pop-up next to perform and select Run workflow. Apple provides you with a list of pre made workflows that you can explore. As an example, Look at the ones for controlling itunes. Now you can ask your mac to play your favorite tune.
By using applescript and automator you can take your dictation and workflow to new levels.
The OSX Dictation feature supports a variety of languages including English and Spanish. It is important that you understand the default behaviour of this feature. By Default, the system actually sends the spoken audio to Apple Servers across the internet. This round trip between your mac and apple servers can cause the transcription to be delayed by a few seconds. The server based dictation in OSX also sends other user information such as your address book contacts etc to provide more accurate transcription. Apple never uses this information beyond improving the server based dictation service.
OS El Capitan offers an "enhanced" dictation option that relies on locally stored assets to perfom the transcription. Selecting the Use Enhanced Dictation checkbox downloads the dialects etc (760 MB) and makes it available on your mac.
When you select this option on your Mac as shown in Step 3, all dictation transcription happens locally on your mac and no information is send to Apple Servers on the internet.
Since this is happening on your local Mac, the speed is also much better than the internet based transcription.

All about making whisky
Bowmore, founded in 1779 in the town of the same name on the Loch Indaal coast, is the oldest distillery on the Isle of Islay. The No.1 Vaults has played a major role in building its renown, not simply because of the quality of the casks it holds, but also because of its exceptional location. It is actually located below sea level, with the seawall acting as the one of the walls of the vault. The distillery is also famous for its medium-peated bottlings and the special cask finishes that have won it huge acclaim. Still operating according to traditional methods, its barley is partially malted on site. Find out more
Although the independent bottler Signatory Vintage cannot claim to be one of the oldest in Scotland, it has managed to build up an extremely solid reputation amongst the great malt connoisseurs. The creator of the famous range The Prestonfield and many other well-known ranges, it is best known for its un-chillfiltered and cask strength bottlings that offer amateurs the chance to enjoy their whisky in its most natural form. It was also one of the first independent bottlers to acquire a distillery and now offers a growing number of expressions of one of the most artisan single malts available.
Please wait...

Lizzy Caplan deserves your full and undivided attention. Not nearly as simple as dividing your attention, this is quite the opposite. Focus like a laser beam on the sweet nectar goodness of Lizzy Caplan in this twin view of her Steven Pan shot pictorial in the October edition of GQ magazine. Actually, the photo on the left is an outtake, which won't appear in the magazine, but you know how we feel about outtakes, so bless our friends at GQ for sharing that with us and all of you.
Lizzy is starring in the new nekkid TV series, Master of Sex, which from its tittle alone, and knowing that Lizzy will be baring her fun tops on the show, well, just set your DVRs right this second. It could be about space aliens or kids who band together to rebuild the old country covered bridge. It doesn't matter. But Lizzy does. Because she needs about ten more seconds of your undivided attention. Enjoy.

As slyly mentioned in the comments of several previous posts, I recently received an Italian bicycle from Bella Ciao, of which a test ride report is forthcoming. Some who have noticed the bike asked about the difference between it and the Abici I test rode earlier, noting the similarities of the designs. So I thought I would take this opportunity to showcase some ladies' Italian city bicycles - and to point out that the frame is not a similarity between Abici and Bella Ciao per se, but a common design feature of Italian bicycles in general - one that differentiates them from the more familiar loop frames of Dutch and English bikes. From the "Mrs. Cinelli" bicycle I photographed at the Larz Anderson show, to the myriad of bicycles spotted in Rome by Chic Cyclists, this distinct "Frascona curve" has been a classic element of the elegant lady's transport bike in Italy for decades.

A Closer Look at Italian City Bicycles

Two of the top three slots of my current bicycle lust are taken up by the ANT Truss Bike and an Italian step through. If I lived in Italy I'd just pick up an old Atala or some such and redo it to taste. But then if I lived in Italy I'd probably be trying to figure out how to move to Austria. Just no pleasing some people.
That Moscova is a bit over the top (and the "Fashion" is WAY over the top), but with some red panels painted on, a ring guard and vintage Campy Record brakes it might amount to something.
I'll bet the price would be a bit over the top as well. I might wish Atala had taken the American bike boom a bit more seriously. That would make trash day a bit more fun.- AnonymousOctober 26, 2010 at 8:58 AM
I think that the Orco Cycles are different: there is no connection between the tubes in Ariel and the rake of the fork and the tilt of the head tube is different in Nilde...
ReplyDelete "Amazing, when you consider that this culture is almost non-existent elsewhere."
Unique indeed, but not amazing -- Italy is also the only Western European country without Starbucks. Italy likes to protect its small domestic producers -- which makes it a lovely and interesting place to visit, but does hinder the economy in certain ways. Still, I appreciate it.
The difference between English and Italian city bikes is indeed bigger than you'd think -- I found that I could recognize a Raleigh in Florence at 100 meters, in a sea of Italian bikes, by geometry alone.When I lived in Paris, I often used an Italian city bicycle lent to me by the Maltese concierge in my apartment building. It was gorgeous and looked like every other Italian city bike I have ever seen, and all those above.
I often think Italian bikes would do well here in NYC because people so often are carrying their bikes up flights of stairs. OTOH, their minimal gorgeousness tugs at the heartstrings of style-conscious New Yorkers and blah blah theft etc.I love the coral-and-beige Montante. And kfg, I remember those Atalas: they had a really nice curve to the top tube. They actually made a frame like that with Columbus tubing and equipped it with good alloy components (e.g., Stronglight cranks and Weinmann brakes).
BG: It's ironic that Italy still doesn't have Starbuck's because the founders of Starbucks styled their original cafes after Italian coffee houses. Then again, that might be the reason why Italy doesn't have Starbucks: What would be the point of having them?
Your point about how Italy protects its smaller manufacturers is good. However, it might actually help them in the long run by giving the country niches in the world economy.- AnonymousOctober 26, 2010 at 1:28 PM
I hope you won't be offended if I ask what the retail price of the Bella Ciao is in Euro? I am curious to know how the price point compares to the various Abici models.
LOVE Italian city bikes... enough to make me daydream about getting one of these in addition to my ANT (apparently my greed for lovely city bikes knows no bounds). Well, my idea of the bike version of the little black dress is the little black bike :)
Perhaps "over the top" isn't exactly what I meant. Just yesterday I was shopping generic chrome frames for a possible custom cruiser project (my mind has been getting all funny lately), so I like my chrome, but I think it needs some sort of accenting to break it up a hair, or it can appear to be just one big lump of undifferentiated shiny.
A decal, a panel, maybe a pinstrip. Something else for the eye to rest on that isn't just reflection. Even the little black dress needs a string of pearls or a gold chain with a locket to make it work.
Agree on the headset though. Getting the black headset and stem off the Redline 925 is up there on the "to do" list.Well for some reason "unapproachable ice queen" isn't the vibe that fills my heart with warm, pink fuzzies and makes me want to take it home a keep forever. I'm just funny that way.
"actually offered me this bike"
Really? Oh, my. Well, it's probably just as well, or I'd probably be on an Amtrak right now, with a crowbar, and the whole thing probably wouldn't work out very pretty.
In the meantime I guess the pic will replace the Bugatti as my desktop wallpaper for awhile. It's a pretty serious piece of "you want me" bike porn (see today's BSNYC), given that I'm imagining it putting on some clothes.What I find intriguing is that Bella Ciao is in fact a German company located in Berlin, which buys these frames with the Frascona curve from a supplier in Northern Italy, then has them powder coated in Germany as Italian paint is not all that durable (as owners of Alfa Romeo cars may know only too well), and builds them up in Germany with German and Japanese components (they say so on their website). Does this constitute Italian manufacture? According to this reasoning, most bikes in the world would be Chinese.
BTW the president of FIAT Motors caused quite a stir this week when he said that FIAT might do well to close its factories in Italy as their quality is poor and productivity is low. So much for protection of home manufacture. Although Mr Marchionne is of course predominantly Canadian.Oh my. I am wondering if you'll be hanging up some of these city-queen beauties in the kitchen soon...
It reminds one of a certain vintage Lygie with crazy-beautiful lugs, which unfortunately slipped through our fingers.
I am looking forward to the ride report. That is a stunning green by the way- one of the best factory colors I've seen outside of a 1958 VW color chart.

"...Does this constitute Italian manufacture? According to this reasoning, most bikes in the world would be Chinese."
While I dislike the fact that most bikes today are made in China, I would not call them "Chinese" unless the design itself is Chinese. Flying Pigeons are Chinese bikes. Current production Batavus, however, are a Dutch design, made in China.
Contrary to this, Bella Ciao bikes not just made by an Italian frame builder. The design itself is Italian. As for the company itself, I would call it international, as the owners reside all over the place.
On a separate note, I don't know how I feel about Shimano components on classic city bicycles. Not because they are Japanese (Sturmey Archer is, what, Taiwanese now?), but because of how dramatically their look clashes with the frames. Just my opinion.
Corey - Yes, I love the colour, though I think even the folks at Bella Ciao cringed when I asked for it : )) If I keep this bike in the long run, then I will most likely sell one of the ones I already own. Did not plan on this acquisition.You cruel person, Velouria, posting such lustworthy bicycles all in one place! The Moscova is indeed elegant but I've lost my heart to the Orco Ariel. Light and elegant in design -a very modern take on a classic bike - but solid and useful in function. And that colour just does it for me. A shame the chainguard looks determinedly plastic, but I could live with that if one turned up on my doorstep. Bella...molto bella... *sigh*
ReplyDelete... BTW, I am now thinking that the chrome bicycle should perhaps have been made in gold? ("Opulence... I has it")
ReplyDelete- JeanetteOctober 26, 2010 at 9:25 PM
Velouria said...."Did not plan on this acquisition" -- though how often does one plan on an aquisition that really becomes necessary because of a chance introduction? You can't plan for some of the best things....
I've always loved that curvature. I wonder if it has a functional origin, or how/why it became an esthetic trademark.... Gorgeous.
Look forward to the ride report, and how it will or won't fit into your stable of bicycles--and how that stable might change over time with other unplanned aquisitions. Is it fair to say there might be more of those? :) Frits - My Magneet proudly displays a "Made in Holland" decal at the top of the seat tube, and the frame was, but the design resembles an English impression of an Italian bike, the mechs ARE Italian, the wheels German, the cranks and tires English, the brakes and kickstand Swiss . . .
But I'd posit that the Made in Holland sticker is accurate enough.
Velouria - "I would not call them "Chinese" unless the design itself is Chinese."
My "Schwinn" cruiser, on the other hand, is of "American" design down to some very small details, but the original was actually designed by a German and it was 100% made in China without so much as even an American holding company involved.
I consider it as Chinese as a Flying Pigeon (a localized knockoff of an English design).
Jeanette - Oddly enough this relates to a very long mixte post I haven't actually written yet :) Since I look at a mixte from an engineering point of view, if it don't have twin tubes that run from the head tube to the rear dropout, it ain't a mixte, because it doesn't accomplish the STRUCTURAL goal of the design (which is to stabilize the head tube). The "Mixte" that just has extra stays in the rear isn't a real mixte, it's just a step through, but the extra stays DO play a functional role; they take what would be a bending point load on the seat tube and distribute it across the rear triangle.
The Italian way of doing it also addresses the issue of the bending load on the seat tube, but by spreading the load over a larger area of the tube and giving the load transferring member a bit of spring to it.
Plus it looks smashing.hello! Been in Italy for two weeks visiting three of the most cycle-friendly Italian cities I have ever seen. The bike there is second nature, an obvious choice of transport for everyday life. There's still, thankfully, a real appreciation of craft and skills, so I am pleased to say that small family businesses are still supported. There's also an element of appreciating things that are quite unique and not mass-produced :)
I've posted about the trip on my blog :)
L xi like the italian curve a lot, but i think whoever built the moscova in the first photo should resign, having marred that beautiful curve by running the brake cable so haphazardly. i couldn't live with a detail like that... especially at that price point!
fritz-- the issue of "origin" is a complicated one, and one that i would be interested in having a discussion about. i've often wondered if my american designed and built trek (designed and built in waterloo, wisconsin) isn't more japanese, since just about every part that hangs from it was made in japan. what contributes more to the "feel" or character of a bike: the design, the frame construction, or the components? this has been touched upon in an earlier post, but i don't think there's any one easy answer. given the origin of the raw materials going into the bella ciao bikes, i i really don't know if i would be inclined at this point to consider them "italian". possibly, if only for the characteristic frame design, but i'm still not sure. it is an interesting question.I was inspired to splurge (just for fun, really) on a single speed Abici granturismo (in grigio) by Velouria's test ride a couple of months ago (thank you!), and I've been loving the surprising combination of sportiness and a gloriously upright position (I'm on the tiny frame and it fits perfectly at 5' 2"), as well as that special Italian curviness in the loop frame. I've diminished the simplicity a bit by adding a lovely Bobbin and Sprocket skirt guard, as well as a rear rack. So I'm now wondering whether one can have that exquisite Orco Cicli Ariel as a 3-speed (the example on their website seems to be single speed), as well as about their prices. I'm in the middle of selling my car (hooray!), but I really should wait and see if I manage to get tenure before I add another bike to join the Pashley, Betty Foy and Abici in the stable/garage...
ReplyDelete- DeborahOctober 27, 2010 at 1:00 PM
Oh. My. Goodness. You were offered the Moscova and didn't take it?!? That is a seriously beautiful bike. Though I'd probably prefer it in a matte silver finish, just to avoid putting people's eyes out! The "Opulence... I Has It" clip absolutely cracked me up. How did I miss this? I love this blog!
ReplyDelete - AnonymousOctober 27, 2010 at 5:31 PM
OK, i have to ask: What's wrong with the Moscova's headset? I imagine it has something to do with the same thing that's wrong with shimano components, or moto-style brake levers, or unicrown forks.... But, i just want to be sure.
-rob I have recently rebuilt an Italian bike and it's simply amazing. The frame is a Lygie, built in 1974 with gorgeous lugging with a mostly chrome finish. It was designed as a light road bike that I now use for my daily commuting, as well as for my bicycling fantasies.
Although I've added on some newer components (BB and crank) as well as sourced some used parts (the rear-wheel is definitely the cheapest component on the set up) the bike as a whole simply flies. Plus I am completely in love with the curvature of my top tube, just like the ones in these newer models.
My budding romance with my Lygie has definitely sparked my interest in other Italian frames!Corey, no, I found mine hanging from the ceiling in Bikerowave in Venice CA (http://www.bikerowave.org/). It's truly a wonderful bike and I'm glad I took a leap of faith in my ability to revive an old frame.
I'm working on getting a post about it up on my site that I can forward when it's done to make you really drool.Although I already own a Swedish Pilen (based on the Swedish Military bicycles) I recently purchased a slightly damaged (a small dent on inner side of the chain-case) blue Abici Gran Turismo Uomo single-speed simply because I have a huge fondness for the Italian bicycle tradition and their simple elegance.
The Abici is so light and nimble and is a perfect companion to my Pilen, which is a surefooted, free-rolling gentle giant. While the Pilen is better made the lightness of the Abici certainly holds tremendous appeal and garners looks.
My passion for bicycles has led me to investigate frame-making courses with a view to making my own bicycles in the Italian tradition. Early days yet and there's much to learn but I think there's a real market for such bikes in cities where urban cycling is a growing phenomenon.
Cicli Blume - yet another italian manufacturer to consider:
These appear to be a tad cheaper than the Bella Ciao's and Abici's.

Harvey Milk Day Bill Passes Key Assembly Committee
Bill Already Passed Senate; Expected to Pass Assembly
SACRAMENTO - The
California State Assembly Education Committee today endorsed the Harvey
Milk Day Bill by a 6-1 margin. The bill, authored by Senator Mark
Leno (D -- San Francisco) and sponsored by Equality California (EQCA),
calls for a "day of special significance" in honor of slain civil
rights leader Harvey Milk. The bill also seeks to educate Californians
about the former San Francisco City Supervisor, who became the nation's
first openly lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender (LGBT) person
elected to political office in a major city.
"Harvey Milk risked
everything to change the course of history and to advance civil rights
for the LGBT community," said EQCA Executive Director Geoff Kors.
"There is no one more deserving of this honor than Harvey."
groundbreaking service as an openly gay official helped bring LGBT
people out of the closet and into civic life. During his time in
office, he was responsible for both passing San Francisco's first
gay-rights ordinance and helping to defeat the controversial Briggs
Initiative, which sought to ban gay and lesbian teachers from public
schools. Milk, along with San Francisco Mayor George Moscone, was
assassinated in November 1978.
"Harvey Milk is an inspiration to
Californians who believe in fairness and equality," said Senator Leno.
"He fought for many of the issues we value today, including access to
education, public transportation, affordable housing and protecting the
environment. Harvey Milk gave his life for what he believed in, and
with that courage and sacrifice he gave hope to an entire generation of
gay and lesbian people whose basic humanity and freedom had been denied
and dishonored," he said.
The legislation was originally
introduced last year by Sen. Leno, but Governor Schwarzenegger vetoed
the measure at the time, claiming Harvey Milk was not well known enough
beyond San Francisco. Since that time, however, Harvey Milk has become
a focal point of national conversation following the release of the
successful biographical film Milk, for which both actor Sean Penn and
screenwriter Dustin Lance Black received an Academy Award. In March,
Penn joined Equality California's campaign publicly calling for the
day; earlier this month, Black testified before a Senate Committee on
the need to appropriately honor the civil rights leader.
The bill
has already passed the Senate by a 24-14 vote, including bipartisan
support. The bill now moves to the Assembly floor for a full vote
where it is also expected to pass. Following that vote, it will go to
the Governor's desk, where, this year, supporters hope he will sign the
bill into law. To find out more information about EQCA's legislation,

Equality California is a nonprofit, nonpartisan, grassroots-based, statewide advocacy organization whose mission is to achieve equality and civil rights for all lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) Californians.

This is the thrid blog post in a four part series. In the first post, we reviewed the structure of a simple C program. In the second post, we reviewed how that program translated into assembly. In this post we'll cover dynamic analysis of the
function with GDB. We'll run our simple program in GDB and take a look at what happens along the way. As a refresher, make sure you've compiled our source code with the "
" argument so debugging info is included in the compiled executable. gcc -g -o basic basic.c
Ok, so first things first, let's fire up GDB
gdb -q ./basic
This will leave you at the
prompt. First off, I should mention that GDB uses AT&T syntax by default, so if you wish to use Intel syntax (as I do), you can change it by using the command:
set disassembly-flavor intel
Secondly, we'll cover some of the basic commands in GDB, but if you want to see a bunch more type
and it will list them out for you. Even better is to type help
, and a category, such as help show
or help info
. This will show you all the subcommands under that category. A couple interesting things we can do with GDB first. We can use the
command to disassemble parts of, or our entire program. We can also use shortcuts. Type just enough of the command that GDB knows what you want to do, and hit enter. GDB also has tab autocomplete; start typing your command, and then hit tab. GDB will either finish the command or show you the possible options. Another thing we can do is list out our source code, using the
command. By default, the list
command will print out 10 lines of source code from the position you give it. Our program is 15 lines long, so if we want to see it all in one shot, we need to change the default with the command set listsize 20
. You can view the default list size with the command show listsize
. Here's the output of the
command, with line 1 specified as the starting pointOk, before we run our program, let's set a couple break points. Set one at the beginning of
, which is 0x080484bc
, and at the beginning of func()
which is 0x08048484
. We can set these as follows: break *0x080484bc
break *0x08048484
The asterisk denotes that the argument passed to break is a memory address.
info break
, and we can delete breakpoints by typing delete
with no arguments to delete them all, or delete
and the number of the breakpoint we want to delete. Such as delete 11
. Instead of deleting them, we can simply enable and disable them by typing, enable
or disable
and the number of the breakpoint. Here we show the output of
disassemble func
. Then, we are setting a break point at 0x08048484
, the beginning of func()
. Finally, we are viewing the breakpoints we have set. One last thing, set the following to display the status of the
, and EIP
registers each time we hit a breakpoint: display /x $esp
display /x $ebp
display /x $eip
Ok, let's run our program. We can run it by typing
, and we can give it an argument also. Let's type run AAAA
. The program will run and we'll hit our first break point at 0x080484bc
. We can confirm this by typing disas main
, which shows that we're on the first line of the main()
function. Here's line one of the
function. It's worth noting that the instruction the arrow points to in disassemble main
has not executed yet. When you step through a program the arrow points to the next instruction to be executed, not the one that has just been executed. We also see that
is at 0xbffff5c8
, and ESP
is at 0xbffff54c
. So, we might ask ourselves, how large is our stack frame currently? Well, C8-4C=7C or 124 decimal. So, it looks like our stack frame is 124 bytes (right now). We can also confirm this another way. Just type
x/w $ebp-124
to view the address at 124 bytes down the stack from EBP
. It turns out to be the address in ESP
. We're also still in the function prologue for main()
, and ESP
hasn't been copied into EBP
yet, so we're actually not looking at the size of the stack frame for main()
right now, we're looking at the previous stack frame. Let's confirm the size of the stack frame at the time of the first instruction in
. Incidentally, you see the command
being used above to examine memory locations. Here is a quick (and incomplete) rundown on using the 'x
' command. x/s
[location] Allows us to examine the location as a stringx/w
[location] Allows us to examine the location as a WORD (4 bytes)x/i
[location] Allows us to examine the location as an instruction
Anyway, we could type '
' or continue, and the program would run until it hit the next breakpoint, but we want to go one instruction at a time so we're going to go with stepi
instead.So, once
gets pushed onto the stack in the first instruction, the value of ESP
now becomes 0xbffff548
, and C8-48=80 or 128 decimal, so our stack grew by 4 bytes or one DWORD (Remember, each instruction is 4 bytes). In line 1 we push
onto the stack. We start with a stack size of 124 bytes (from the previous stack frame). Then EBP
is pushed onto the stack, resulting in a stack size of 128 bytes (Each DWORD is 4 bytes): In line 2
gets copied into EBP
as part of the function prologue, and our new stack frame is created. It's flat as a pancake right now with EBP
and ESP
at the same memory address: In line 3 the stack gets aligned in a 16 byte boundary, which also has the effect of moving
8 bytes down the stack. For a quick explanation of stack alignment, check out this article.In line 4 we move
16 bytes down the stack to allocate some space we will need going forwardIn line 5 we're taking the string from
and pointing ESP
at it. We can confirm what value is there, by using the command x/w 0x80485ce
We can confirm that
now points at 0x80485ce
by using the command x/w $esp
. We're going to use the
command to jump over the puts()
function in this case. When we get to func()
we'll use stepi
to dive in, but right now I'd like to get to the next instruction in main
. That's the difference between the two, nexti
skips over functions, while stepi
dives in. By the way,
is just a compiler optimization of printf()
, and the result of puts()
was the string "Passing user input to func()
" was printed to stdout
. Now that we're past
, on lines 7 and 8 we move the value at ebp+0xc
or 0xbffff749
, which is argv[0]
into EAX
, then add 0x4 to EAX
which gets us to 0xbffff758
. This is argv[1]
containing "AAAA
", the argument we passed to the program at runtime. After line 7 has executed we can see that
points to 0xbffff749
, which contains argv[0]
or "/root/bo/basic
": After line 8 has executed we can see that
now points to 0xbffff758
, which contains argv[1]
or "AAAA
": Now on line 9 we get to an interesting instruction. As of line 8
only points to argv[1]
, as we can prove by using the command x/s $eax
. No luck getting back "AAAA
" unless we do x/w $eax
to get the memory address it points to (0xbffff758
), and then use x/s 0xbffff758
to view the string at the memory address ("AAAA
"). However, after we use
to execute 'mov eax, [eax]
' we can then use x/s $eax
and the string "AAAA
" truly is "in" EAX
On line 10 we point ESP
to the location of the contents of EAX
. We're basically pointing it at that memory address. We can verify this by using x/s $esp
. We see that we get no string of "AAAA
" back, but using x/w $esp
gives us the memory address, 0xbffff758
, that contains argv[1]
, our string of "A
's". In the next installment we'll dive into the
function and finish running through the rest of our simple program in a debugger. Hope you enjoyed!

The Hong Kong-headquartered telecom tycoon recounted how he discovered 'heaven on Earth' for sailing on visiting Phuket for the first time in 1991 and playing a major part in promoting Phuket as a luxury yachting hub. Not only did he develop the island's most state-of-the-art marina, recognised with a collection of prestigious awards, his influence went as far as successfully lobbying the Thai government to remove prohibitively high taxes on imported boats, encouraging owners to take advantage of the country's exceptionally appealing maintenance and running overheads. 'Unfortunately, with over 200 per cent tax and duty on imported boats, there wasn't much anyone one could do for the nautical tourism industry in Thailand before then,' he said. 'You need the support of local officials and the government. In 2002, however, I was fortunate enough to be able to make my personal pledge to Thailand's former Prime Minister that if boat import taxes were reduced, I would give my word that I would develop a world class marina. He promised that he would and kept his word – and so did I.' At Royal Phuket Marina, he has since created a world-class marina on par with international resort communities in the Mediterranean, Caribbean or Florida. Only this year, the Tourism Authority of Thailand responded by declaring its confidence in Phuket to become a world-class centre for marine tourism. 'The authorities recognise the importance of nautical tourism in attracting higher-end tourists, and they see the importance of marinas in this equation,' said Mr. Lalvani. However, an award winning residential land component such as Royal Phuket Marina's is as much a key as its '5 Golden Anchor Rating' to ensure a return on capital, he cautioned. But with a winning formula, he said marinas are a 'breeding ground' and 'natural habitat' for nautical tourism and yacht chartering.
'Nautical Tourism and Yacht Charter businesses help marinas to increase their occupancy rates and in return the marinas help those businesses to grow,' he added. 'You can't only depend on local boat owners to do business, you want visiting boats, tourists rent boat cruises taking off from your marina, yacht charters and all sorts of diving cruises. 'You also want to host marine events such as international boat shows and regatta parties – even wedding parties. Because a marina is a highly desired destination at the water's edge, it's the perfect venue to host spectacular events. So there is an undeniable synergy between marinas, nautical tourism and yacht charter businesses. It all works together.' About Royal Phuket Marina The world-class yachting hub on Phuket's eastern seaboard is not only on the doorstep of one of the world's most idyllic and accessible cruising locations, surrounded by hundreds of deserted tropical islands including Thailand's famous Phang Nga Bay, location for the James Bond movie 'The Man with the Golden Gun' and Phi Phi, location for The Beach. RPM is a now magnet for the international jet-set, with celebrity visitors including Britain's Princess Eugenie, Prince Henrik of Denmark, supermodels Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell, Hollywood actor Kevin Spacey, former American Idol judge Paula Abdul and modernist artist Damien Hirst. Thailand's first world-class 'luxury lifestyle community' integrates luxury villas and condominiums with a Fisherman's Wharf-style waterfront promenade of international restaurants and cafés, up-market boutiques, swimming pools, floodlit tennis courts, spa pampering and Phuket's finest health and fitness centre. It is also home to RPM International Exhibition & Conference Centre, Phuket's largest single indoor events space for large-scale conferences and expos, society weddings and events. Just a short flight from the regional business hubs of Hong Kong, Singapore, Bangkok and Kuala Lumpur, Phuket is meanwhile a booming tourist destination. Arrivals in 2010 rocketed by 22 per cent over 2009, reaching 3.5 million visitors, with Russia and China now emerging as significant markets.

In 2009, TV's cable brands proved to be media's ultimate "must-keep." In 2010, media planners will turn even more to these same cable brands as their clients shift back into "must-grow" mode.
In many ways, 2009 was the ultimate torture test of each majormedium's real value to advertisers and their agencies. In making the criti-cal media decisions to get through the toughest product/service selling en-vironment in memory, only cable's video brands grew in ad spending in 2009 while investment in the rest ofthe media choices shrank, typically down double digits vs. 2008, according to our numbers.
In that tough-choices environment, cable's video brands turned out to be the easiest choice—across the board of advertiser categories and all audience demographics. As we approach the coming upfront TV buying season, we're asking those same advertisers to rely even more heavily on cable to deliver their future-growth goals. It's a purely rational decision based on unprecedented market merit:
; Even with dramatic proliferation in screen options for video content, TV viewing achieved all-time highs over the past few quarters, driven by ratings gains by cable brands.
; The ratings and reach of cable's video brands have firmly moved past the tipping point. Agency media planners are now looking at a stronger-than-ever TV medium where 80 percent of all ratings points (adults
18 to 49, all day) are cable ratings points. Cable's dominance doesn't stop at demographics; it extends across important programming genres. Cable now accounts for:
•98 percent of general documentary ratings
•95 percent of children's ratings
•70 percent of drama ratings
•65 percent of news ratings
; What pushed cable viewing beyond the tipping point? Original programming. Branded cable's record
$22 billion investment in original programming has produced a collective schedule that now comprises 67
percent original programming. Looking at any given month in 2010, a media planner can see at least double the amount of original programming on the cable grid vs. just five years ago.
; With cable's brands that transcend TV, any look at "Top 25" or "Top 50" most popular Web sites reveals a list tattooed with cable brands. Also extremely popular on social networking sites and all other emerging video apps, U.S. cable brands and their programming accumulate big numbers of viewers and users on every available screen.
For selling more goods and services in a climate where advertisers have worked the word "growth" back into their business plans en masse, cable will again be a must buy—and progressively more the hub of the media plan.
Last year, you trusted cable to get your clients through the toughest of selling conditions, and cable delivered—all the way back to growth.

Onoto Announces The Churchill Pen Collection
A perfect gift for any Churchillian
An Update from the New Churchill Society in Ottawa
By Ronald I. Cohen
Rideau Canal, Ottawa
The Sir Winston Churchill Society of Ottawa (SWCSO) was well represented at the recent International Conference in London by two of its three founders, namely, Pamela Reynolds and Monica Olney, as well as by at least one of its new members.
The SWCSO will be holding its inaugural meeting under the auspices of the British High Commissioner to Canada on November 30th and Allen Packwood will be our inaugural speaker. The title of his talk will be "Why Bring Churchill Back to Canada?", in anticipation of the several Churchillian events that will soon follow, beginning with the December 30th seventieth anniversary of the inspirational "Some chicken! Some neck!" speech and the shooting of the equally inspirational Karsh photograph of the Prime Minister immediately following that speech.
Although the SWCSO membership is mounting steadily, we welcome new members situated anywhere from the National Capital Region east to L'Orignal and west to Kingston. Anyone wishing to join the SWCSO or to attend the inaugural event (the cost will be $50 per person for members of the SWCSO or any other Churchill Society) should
or by telephone at 613-298-7171.

Churchill Centre Conference Participants Visit Blenheim Palace
A group of American, Canadian and British Churchillians recently visited
Blenheim Palace
, following The Churchill Centre's highly successful International Churchill Conference in London. The group, lead by International Churchill Society of Canada Board Member Gordon Walker and his wife Harriet, was welcomed by the Duke of Marlborough's eldest daughter Lady Henrietta Spencer-Churchill.
Lady Henrietta Spencer-Churchill speaks to the Churchill tour group at Blenheim Palace.
The group enjoyed a guided tour of the Palace, highlighted by the historic Long Library (at some 180 feet, one of the longest rooms in any British stately home), the bedroom in which Sir Winston Churchill was born in November 1874 and Blenheim's "Churchill's Destiny" exhibition. Lady Henrietta joined the Churchillians for lunch in the Palace's historic Indian Room, overlooking Blenheim's Water Terraces and Fountain. She spoke about recent restoration projects designed to enhance the visitor experience at Blenheim as well as the Spencer-Churchill family's commitment to maintaining the Palace as one of the great privately-owned historic sites in Britain. She also emphasized the importance of education in the Palace's mission and welcomed the opportunity to collaborate with The Churchill Centre and its members on future activities.

Chartwell Bulletin in Conversation with Edwina Sandys
November 2011
Churchill Centre Executive Director Lee Pollock recently spoke with Edwina Sandys, Winston Churchill's granddaughter and a prominent international artist as well as longtime Churchill Centre Board Member and supporter.
In this CB interview, Edwina talks about her background and family, her career in the art world and
her new book, "Edwina Sandys Art"
Richard Kaplan, Edwina Sandys and Randolph Churchill at the Launch of "Edwina Sandys Art"
Lee Pollock:
Edwina, could you tell CB's readers a little about your background and family. We know about your grandfather, Sir Winston Churchill, but perhaps less about your father, Duncan Sandys, and his career in the military and in public life. Could you fill us in?
Edwina Sandys:
My mother, Diana, was the first child of Winston and Clementine and she married Duncan Sandys in 1935. They were both flaming redheads as was Winston as a young man. When Diana met Duncan he was standing for Parliament as a Conservative and his opponent was none other than Diana's brother Randolph Churchill – Diana was helping her brother. My father went on to become a minister in various governments – Minister of Supply, Housing, Aviation, Defence, Commonwealth & Colonies. He started the Civic Trust, an organization to encourage "good" urban development which supported putting the "green belt" around London to prevent sprawl. He was also an amateur painter.
You were born just before the start of the Second World War. Do you have any memories of the end of the War and could you share some recollections of your grandfather's career in public life in the decade from 1945 to 1955 and your relationship with him when you were growing up? Do you remember when you first realized that he was a unique figure in British history?

BBC Radio 4: Being Winston
Andy Walker from the BBC Radio 4 programme "Today" writes about portrayals of Churchill on stage and screen.
BBC 4 Today Programme
BBC.COM, Friday, 4 November 2011—Richard Burton and Albert Finney are among the actors Warren Clarke will be emulating when he plays Winston Churchill in a new West End production, Three Days in May, but what is it like to take on the role of Britain's wartime leader.
"I'm a devotee of the man. I think he's the greatest Englishman probably who ever lived." So says the actor Robert Hardy, who has played Winston Churchill on no fewer than seven occasions.
Initially Hardy, who had met Churchill while playing in Hamlet with Richard Burton, thought it "an absurd and inappropriate idea" to accept the role.
But after "several very good lunches" with the producer Richard Broke he was, he recalls, "over-persuaded" to take the part.
The result was a magisterial piece of television. In eight hour-long episodes, Winston Churchill: The Wilderness Years, detailed Churchill's time on the back benches during the late 1920s and 30s, chronicling his dire warnings about the twin dangers of Hitler and appeasement.
Hardy's charismatic performance was the centrepiece of a narrative that was at once detailed, dramatic and didactic.

Winston Churchill's Daughter, Lady Soames, Publishes Her Long-Awaited Memoirs: A Review by John Plumpton
Thriving in the Shade a Great Oak
By John Plumpton
A Daughter's Tale: The Memoir of Winston and Clementine Churchill's Youngest Child
, by Mary Soames. Doubleday, hardbound, illus. 416 pages, £25, Amazon UK £15.59. To be published by Random House, USA in May 2012, 352 pages, $28, Kindle edition $13.99.
Mr. Plumpton is a former president of The Churchill Centre and has contributed to
Finest Hour
for thirty years. An enthusiastic sailor, he named his first boat
, after Churchill's pre-World War I Admiralty yacht.
It may be apocryphal, but Randolph Churchill is said to regretted the difficulty of acorns surviving in the shade of a great oak. That's true sometimes, but not always. In some cases, acorns thrive, and fall not far from the parent. One such example is Mary Churchill, now The Lady Soames, Patron of The Churchill Centre, whose personal story is wonderfully told in her long-awaited autobiography—and what a tale it is.
Author of five previous books on her family, Lady Soames recounts the rapid-fire events of her first twenty-five years, culminating in her marriage to Christopher Soames in 1947. She was born at the same time as her father made an offer to purchase Chartwell Manor, a house she has treasured all of her life. This book brings Chartwell alive as a home better than any guidebook.
She opens with a poignant account of the sad death in 1921 of Marigold Churchill, the beloved "Duckadilly." A year later Mary arrived: "Perhaps I was, for my parents, the child of consolation." We meet Maryott White ("Cousin Moppet" or "Nana"), Clementine's cousin and Mary's godmother, nanny/governess and lifelong friend. With her parents often in London and abroad, "Nana in all matters ruled my existence—always loving and always there."
Prior to going to school, Nana introduced the precocious young child to the joys of the literature: a passion that has remained throughout her life. Reading aloud by Nana began at tea-time and continued through an extended (intentionally) preparation for bed. Lady Soames recalls being enthralled the Beatrix Potter books,
Black Beauty, Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan, Treasure Island, Uncle Tom's Cabin
: a cornucopia of children's classics. She was one of the first to be spellbound by her father's renderings of Macaulay's
Lays of Ancient Rome
. A still treasured possession is a gift from her sister Sarah, "a lovely green leather- bound copy of
The Oxford Book of English Verse
, much faded now"). Her love of literature expanded to the theatre, and there is a litany of the great plays of the 1930s and 1940s that she enjoyed with friends and family.

"Three Days in May" Reviewed for Finest Hour by Allen Packwood
By Allen Packwood
Mr. Packwood is Director of the
Churchill Archives Centre
and Executive Director of The Churchill Centre UK.
Three days in May
, by Ben Brown. A stage play starring Warren Clarke as Churchill and Robert Demeger as Neville Chamberlain. The play was staged in Cambridge during September and October and is now playing at the Trafalgar Studios Theater in the West End.
There is no doubting the enthusiasm of both Warren Clarke (Churchill) and Jeremy Clyde (Halifax) for their roles in the play "Three Days in London," which opened at the Cambridge Arts Theatre. The two experienced actors visited the Archives Centre and responded knowledgably to being shown some of the original documents from 1940, including the diaries of Jock Colville and Leo Amery and some of Churchill's speech notes.
The play is about the debates in the War Cabinet between 26 and 28 May 1940, at which Lord Halifax proposed using Mussolini (then still neutral) to explore peace terms with Nazi Germany. It is ground well covered by John Lukacs in his book "Five Days in London, May 1940" though interestingly John is not credited in the programme. Playwright Ben Brown has certainly drawn dialogue from contemporary sources, and has his characters quoting extensively from the Cabinet minutes and the texts of Churchill's speeches. But, of course, he has also used his imagination to fill in the gaps and speculate on the nature of the conversations between the principal protagonists, chiefly Churchill, Chamberlain and Halifax with supporting roles by Attlee and Greenwood.
The transition from real to imaginary does not always make for smooth dialogue, and, until the second half, the play felt a bit like a series of tableaux, lacking a sustained driving narrative and momentum. The need to give background information also leads to some unlikely and unrealistic conversation, not least between Churchill and Chamberlain about their respective views in the 1930s.
I did like the decision to use Jock Colville, one of Churchill's private secretaries and the chronicler of these events through his diary, as the narrator. His role in ushering the others in and out of the Prime Minister's presence helps ease the transition between scenes. Warren Clarke's Churchill is all bulldog, glowering and angry. He does convey a man of conviction under pressure.

Jewish World Review August 16, 2005 / 11 Av, 5765 The President, polls and perseverance By David Limbaugh
http://www.JewishWorldReview.com |
Our Constitution's framers understood that pure democracy was not conducive to good government, so they structured the government as a constitutional republic. Nothing better illustrates the wisdom of their decision than our current national turmoil concerning the war in Iraq.
Understanding human nature and the potential volatility of the people, they designed the government to insulate elected representatives from the fluctuating passions of the people whose unbridled, unchecked sentiments could otherwise lead to a self-destructive mobocracy.
Once elected, the representatives were not to govern by ever-changing polls but would be guided by their best judgment, subject to the deterrents of impeachment and the next election. There were also the institutional safeguards built into the Constitution, such as federalism, the separation of powers, narrow grants of power to and express limitations on government. These would naturally retard the pace of government and militate against the mischief of renegade politicians.
As prescient as the Framers were, it's unlikely they could have foreseen the coming technological advances and information explosion that would arm a hostile media and opposition party with selective bad news and polling data with which to badger a president into submission.
It takes a strong person as president to withstand the temptation to sacrifice the long-term best interests of the nation by succumbing to the seduction of daily polls and their promise of immediate popularity upon obedience to the whimsical popular will.
We need look no further back in history than the Clinton years to see what happens when a president tends to govern by polls rather than principle. It was a formula for putting off serious problems such as Al Qaeda and Social Security when tackling them might bring you into disfavor.
By contrast, we can study the present Bush administration to see what happens when a president governs by principles and goals to which he has consistently pledged fidelity. It's a formula for occasionally disastrous polling results, as we witnessed this week with reports of the president's lowest-yet approval ratings.
The mainstream media are gloating about the president's popularity free-fall, apparently oblivious to the damage they are inflicting on the nation with their ceaseless one-sided news coverage.
Democrat honchos, for their part, are basking in the public's ostensible rejection of the president's policies on Iraq and Social Security, among others. Ultimately, though, the joke may be on them, since even during the president's popularity slide, they have nothing constructive of their own to offer no solutions, no plans as witnessed by Democrat Party Boss Howard Dean's virtual admission of same on Sunday's "Face the Nation."
All the while, President Bush remains unflappable and determined to achieve his stated goals. No matter how often Democrats accuse him of trying to destroy Social Security, he is intent on preserving it and preventing it from bankrupting the federal government, which is inevitable absent major reform. No matter what they throw at him on Iraq, from baseless allegations that he lied to get us into the war to charges that he is deliberately under-armoring the troops, he stays firm, notwithstanding reports he is losing resolve, trying to lower expectations or experiencing fissures in his administration.
Meanwhile, Democrat leaders want to have it both ways. Some say we should withdraw from Iraq. Others demand that we add many more troops, while simultaneously complaining about the enormity of the federal deficit (despite the recent good news on this front, by the way).
There's no denying we face enormous problems in the war on terror and in our quest to aid the Iraqis in launching a constitutional republic, neither of which lends itself to a magical, tidy solution. And there are legitimate issues to debate concerning both.
But the Democrats' and media's persistent sniping at the president to the point of abject partisan gamesmanship does not constitute good faith debate. Nor does it further our cause against this enemy, which is dedicated to destroying the West and restoring the glory of the caliphate to rule the world.
Which is why I'm grateful we have an action-oriented president who has the courage and inner-strength which some, I believe, misinterpret as stubbornness to persevere no matter how relentless the daily beating he receives in the press. And it's another reason I'm thankful for the sagacity of the Framers for crafting a system that sought to give our leaders the latitude to operate in the long-term national interest.

Foodie Friday: Bandwith BBQs Again
Welcome to Foodie Friday.
If you are participating this week, please type your Foodie Friday permalink, and add your name or recipe, too.
Bandwith has been cooking all week. Today, he grilled ribs. These were even better than his previous batch. Same recipe, except he used ribs instead of a roast and added 1/2 teaspoon chili powder to each slab. You can find that recipe here http://www.designsbygollum.blogspot.com/2009/07/foodie-friday-bandwiths-bbq-pork-roast.html
47 comments:
I love chili powder added to BBQ sauce, but then I love just about anything in BBQ Sauce. Years ago while traveling I found one with dried cherries that was out of this world and haven't been able to find it since. I think the name of the company was Crazy Jerry's.
