Abstract: The absence of descriptive epidemiological data on the frequency and distribution of fractures in a population is serious and may underestimate the actual importance of this public health problem. In this study, we report the crude and standardized incidence rates of fractures in the population of Kuwait during the period 2009–2012. Using the Ministry of Public Health's national registry, demographic data of all fracture cases between 2009 and 2012 were retrieved. These were further categorized into fractures at the hip or any other sites. Average annual incidence rates were calculated and standardized using the world's population in 2010 as a reference. Thus, 18,119 fractures among males and 6,362 among females were recorded. The overall estimated annual incidence rates of fractures per 100,000 person-years were 207 for males and 111.8 for females. Moreover, 13.3% of all fractures were in the hip, with incidence rates of 24.8 for males and 18.9 for females; while 86.7% were in other sites, with corresponding incidence rates of 182.2 and 92.8, respectively. The age-specific fracture incidence rates in females remained below the corresponding rates of males until ≥50 years of age, after which the female age groups showed successively higher rates. The age-standardized incidence rates for all fractures (hip and other sites) were 247.4 for males, 175.4 for females, and 216.2 for both sexes. The burden of this major public health challenge is set to rise, and such population-based incidence data call for an urgent need for action to reduce the projected human impact and socioeconomic costs of fracture.

Repeating a promotion offered last year, T-Mobile is giving a big gift to their baseball fan subscribers. MLB's excellent At Bat app has pretty desirable premium features, but they come at a steep price of $20. For T-Mobile subscribers, those premium features are going to be free.
The way it works is that you will have to download the app from T-Mobile's mobile network and complete the sign-up process. Once the app has recognized that you're a subscriber, the premium features should show up for free and you will have no restrictions through the end of the season. About those paid features, they include:
- Free streaming of MLB.tv's free game of the day
- Live pitch tracking and play-by-play
- Free streaming audio for home and away broadcasts, even in market
- Watching video highlights during and after games
If you are an MLB.tv Premium subscriber, this deal is redundant, but who is to complain about something that is free? Baseball fans will really appreciate the live play-by-play, which I sometimes have open even while watching on TV. I like to see the pitch location, speed, and type, for instance. The radio broadcasts are very useful when traveling or looking for some nice background noise.
Not to compliment T-Mobile and MLB too much, though, let's remember the deal starts May 1. That is a month into the season, so they were very happy to get anxious fans to buy a subscription before the deal started. Still, like I said before, something is better than nothing.

Wheel Spacer Information - Very Important Facts!
How many times have you heard someone say, "Wheel spacers are dangerous!"? Probably more than once! The fact is yes, wheel spacers can definitely be dangerous...when referring to cheaply made wheel spacers or when spacers are used or installed incorrectly.
Many of the spacers on the market are cast from a material known as pot metal. Although sold as "Aluminum", these spacers are actually made up of a variety of junk metals all combined to produce a very cheap material that lacks strength, durability and corrosion resistance. These inexpensive, cheaply made spacers have been known to crack, corrode prematurely and cause vibrations due to their lack of precise dimensions. Combine any or all of those facts and it's easy to see why wheel spacers have a bad reputation. To make matters worse, spacers are often added to a vehicle without taking the needs of the lugs/studs into consideration, resulting in insufficient thread engagement which has often led to a wheel coming loose or lugs/studs stripping out.
Installing wheel spacers is serious business and special consideration must be taken into account when doing so. When wheel spacers are constructed of quality materials (6061 T6 Alcoa billet aluminum in our case), used properly to simply correct for wheel offsets and when lug and stud length requirements are carefully accounted for, wheel spacers can be perfectly safe and are a very effective means to getting your wheels to fit your Vanagon properly.
Did you know that manufacturers of some of the best handling, fastest cars on the road have used wheel spacers as a means to position the wheels exactly where they wanted them? As an example, the Porsche 930 Turbo and some 944s used wheel spacers...right from the factory. If Porsche can do it safely, so can we!

From Time:
By 9:35 on a recent Friday night, Dominique Thomas had been camped outside the Niketown store in South Miami for two full days. Thomas, who goes by the street name DK the Line Pimp, had flown in from Denver and was first in line to buy the $100 Cowboy Air Max 180s, which were scheduled to go on sale at 10 that night. Just 140 pairs of these limited-edition sneakers–a hunter green, lizard-skin design with a light pink Swoosh–were manufactured, and they would be sold only at the Miami store and only that night. As a snaking line of mostly young men waited for the doors to open, Thomas, 21, reflected on how much getting the shoes meant to him. "Shoes run my life," he said. "Without shoes, I don't exist."
Once part of a secretive urban subculture that began in New York City in the 1970s, sneaker freaks like Thomas have come out of the closet, rising up not only across the U.S. but also around the rest of the globe, from Berlin to Tokyo. While many are driven by nostalgia for the classic Adidas or Pumas they wore as a kid, others amass the shoes not to wear but to save and admire like a stamp or baseball-card collection. "It's the thrill of the chase," says Carra Crehan, 26, who works at a New York City sneaker boutique called Laces and says she has 200 pairs of sneakers–all insured–that she stores on racks in her kitchen and living room.

As you might have guessed it, there were lots of singing, dancing, and hands way up in the air followed by dining on some Southern favorites. Last Sunday, I had the opportunity to check out all that was available for the Sunday Brunch at their New Anaheim Gardenwalk location.
Located at the 4th floor of the Anaheim Gardenwalk, The House of Blues Sunday Brunch starts at 10:30am. Tickets purchased via LiveNation can be picked up at the Will-Call Booth located to the right of the restaurant. Once inside, a hostess will show you to your table. Tables and seats are arranged vertically in 5 rows as well as 2 rows of tabletop seating. (click the LiveNation link above for a pictorial explanation) Though it can be a little tight, I would recommend sitting at the tables especially if you can purchase one for table B, C, or D that's located in the middle of the show.
Once at your table, get off your feet, grab a plate, and try some of House of Blues popular dishes. They include carving station slow cooked brisket, peel and eat shrimp, creole jambalaya (Most popular dish when I was there) and white chocolate banana bread pudding. Other foods include: Breakfast sausages, apple-wood smoked bacon, new potatoes, buttermilk biscuits and gravy, roasted seasonal vegetables, mac and cheese, baked BBQ chicken, scrambled eggs, french toast, Caesar salad station, made to order omelet station, and a fresh fruit board. Other desserts composed of brownies, danishes, and small cupcakes. Price includes coffee and juice. Unlimited mimosas can be added for an additional $15.
For the Gospel show that opened at 11am, Renaissance Marie Austin, in a few words was Soul-ful and Inspirational. Their talent of performing traditional hits and contemporary Gospel songs have led everyone off their feet and clap with joy. If you were one of the lucky ones who had a birthday or an anniversary in the same month you attended the show, you might find yourself dancing with them on stage! With popular songs like "Stand by Me" and "Amazing Grace", you can sing along to with your new brothers and sisters you've just met from the next table. And when the gospel songs come on, get off of your feet, wave your napkin for a good time!

The literal definition of globalization is the process by which businesses or other organizations develop international influence or start operating on an international (read: 'global') scale. While the definition certainly offers the basic meaning of globalization, it doesn't really reflect or shed light on the true nature, scope and impact of globalization. It is not as simple as an American manufacturer finding a market in Europe or a Japanese startup selling technology to an Australian telecom. Globalization, in its truest sense, is industrial and obviously economic, cultural and geopolitical as well as personal in its scope.
Globalization is clearly a doubled edged sword. It can do wonders for a country, its people and indeed for the world. It may also put a country, its people and all their interests in jeopardy. One must carefully assess the advantages and disadvantages of globalizations.
A Piece Of History!
Many experts say that globalization has existed for hundreds of years, ever since traders took to the Silk Route, explored new worlds and established trade. It is true that explorers and increasing trade across continents had planted the seeds of the concept that has developed into globalization today. However, it is just outright inaccurate to even presume that globalization existed hundreds of years ago. International trading doesn't encompass globalization, nor vice versa.
Globalization is the evolution of a world into one market, a connected economy, a shared and associated community, inseparable cultural and religious values despite the differences of hundreds of languages, thousands of dialects, dozens of religions and innumerable ethnicities, a world where everyone is an integral part of humanity at large and everything that affects one spectrum has a rippling effect on others.
Advantages of Globalization
1. Empowerment to Businesses
Most regions on the planet have something special to offer to the rest of the world. A particular region may be known for its grapes and thus wine. A region may be known for its apples. Some regions are rich in minerals, from iron ore to bauxite. Some regions have treasure troves of oil or coal, natural gas or gold and diamond. Then there are regions that have championed manufacturing, some regions are the sheer leaders in technology while some other regions have taken up the responsibility of farming to feed millions, if not a billion. Globalization allows every region to offers its finest products or services to other regions. You could procure cheaper steel or cheaper food, better technology or better quality manufactured goods.
2. Offers A Larger Market for Businesses
Ecommerce is a byproduct of globalization, so was the internet and the social networks or social media. If the world had not been connected already, albeit in myriad ways and not as efficiently and in real time as we are now, then these twenty-first century wonders would have taken some time to evolve. In other words, globalization allows companies to thrive, the economy benefitting from globalization gets a boost, there are more new businesses, new jobs and people can attain the prosperity that they usually desire. Globalization helps startups to grow, it helps established businesses to become larger and better, jobseekers have more options and one doesn't have to stay confined to one location or place to live the life one desires.
3. Helps Consumers
People can get cheaper goods, better services, technologically enhanced products, one gets more choices, there is fiercer competition, predatory pricing and strategies don't work and even countries get to pick and choose how they would want to run their economy, since there is a plethora of industrial enterprises and policies that one can endorse.
4. Brings People Together
Globalization has a wonderful side effect. It brings people together. Throughout history, people who have traveled and have mingled with different cultures, people from various regions of the planet and have basically understood more of the world have always returned home wiser. Today, people from various countries come together, celebrate the cultures of one another, even the religious festivities. Peaceful coexisting, mutually beneficial relationships and willingness to practice humanity as the primary religion or faith, mindset or belief are the byproducts of globalization.
Disadvantages of Globalization
1. Give too Much Dominance to a Limited Number of Countries
Globalization is not without its share of shortcomings and some dangers. Globalization, very much like industrialization and the erstwhile colonization, can make one country or region very powerful. Whoever gets to dominate global trade and commerce or has the resources to be the primary supplier and not the consumer, will have an upper hand. Having the world or a substantial part of the world depend on one nation or a certain group of companies can be extremely detrimental to the balance of power and influence.
2. Make a Poor Country, Poorer
It can lead to an economic collapse of countries that struggle to change with times and there is an overwhelming challenge of competition that can become unwinnable. For instance, there are countries that offer cheap labor which can never be matched by developed countries. Take China for instance. The costs of manufacturing in China are so low that even Apple, that prides itself as an American company, cannot resist the temptation of having everything made there and assembled in California. This kind of practice, which is integral to globalization and rationally unavoidable, can ruin the economies of countries that don't have the advantage of labor, low wages and other elements such as weaker labor laws, lenient policies pertaining to doing business and willful corruption that often helps industries.
3. Can Inadvertently Damage the Economy of Certain Regions in the World
While globalization can improve an economy, generate jobs and offer growth to business, it can at the same time cause a recession in certain regions or countries of the world. In such a scenario, instead of a global balance, all one attains is imbalance. There is a reason why international, bilateral and multilateral trade agreements exist so one particular country doesn't have to deal with a massive trade deficit vis-à-vis another. But there has to be more than a few fair and free trading agreements.
4. Facilitates the Degradation of Our Environment
As economy took to the driving seat, there was scant regard for the means adopted to attain that desired prosperity. Globalization can affect everyone but there is no universal or global law to be applied to all countries participating and benefiting from globalization. Hence, something that may be banned in the United States or the United Kingdom, for instance certain types of cars, may not be banned in a South American country or China. In effect, globalization can worsen the climate problem. There is also a flip side. It isn't that only developed nations are the worst hit. The industrially developed countries and economic superpowers are the ones who took the initiatives to cause the environmental problem we have today. Despite that, the demands of such countries are now triggering environmental problems in poor or underdeveloped countries. Thailand and other South East Asian nations are indulging in rampant deforestation to supply wood and wooden products to the developed countries.
5. Favors Regions Rich in Resources
These resources can be natural or manmade. From education to skilled labor, fertility of the soil and thus agricultural produce to flora and fauna, economic policies to geographical advantages; all such factors provide unfair but unavoidable advantage to some countries.

Scottish Independence and Scotland's Future
Ed Means Column
Scotland in European associations &
political 'journalism' against Scottish Independence
Scotland in European associations
On 29 November Newsnet Scotland published a very interesting article by
George Kerevan, a well-known and well-respected Scottish economist and
supporter of Scottish independence. Mr Kerevan's articles also appear in
the Scotsman. He is a member of the Scottish National party, but he has
sent mixed signals on whether he is pro or anti independent Scotland's
being a member of the European Union. In this article at
Mr Kerevan makes a very good point about what Scots should do regarding
EU membership:
The debate regarding independent Scotland's future relations with the EU
is being deliberately obfuscated. There is nothing in the EU treaties
that covers a member state dissolving into its constituent parts.
Politicians such as Mr Rajoy
[Spanish Prime Minister] can express all the personal opinions they
want but the only constitutional body that can adjudicate on the
[EU] treaties is the European Court of Justice. "My advice to
Scots is this: set your own course and don't be bullied by those with
agendas of their own."
I hope I made my position on independent Scotland's Membership clear in
my 27 November column: Independent Scotland cannot be independent in
the EU. It will merely have exchanged its masters in the UK for
new masters in Brussels. I also presented some of my logical
arguments, but did not try to bully anyone.
Upon independence, Scotland will be eligible to join two organisations
which would give it the advantages of the EU without the EU
disadvantages of loss of sovereignty, oppressive bureaucracy, and
extremely high costs: the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) and the
European Economic Area. A wealth of official information on these
institutions is available at
Neither of these organisations require members to surrender any
sovereignty to the EU as EU members must, and their fees and expenses
are far less. Don't believe this? Then ask Norway and Switzerland.
* * * * *
Political 'journalism' against Scottish independence
I had not intended to address two subjects is point, but I looked once
more at Newsnet and found this article published on 30 November:
The article is too long to repeat here, but here are the first two
Friday saw the continued erosion of political journalism in Scotland. A
story exclusively revealed by Newsnet Scotland in October finally made
it onto the pages of newspapers and the airwaves of the BBC.
The story was, sadly, unrecognisable by the time it had been
manipulated, twisted and contorted. A political agenda had been applied
and a caricature - replete with attacks on Alex Salmond - presented to
readers, viewers and listeners.
I hope you will read the entire article because it illustrates clearly
the bias of the Scottish mainstream press and the even more egregious
bias of the purportedly neutral BBC Scotland.

Matt Kemp rumors: Red Sox appear to be out on Dodgers OF
Matt Kemp may be on the move this offseason, but at this point the Dodgers outfielder won't be headed to the world champion Red Sox.
Per CBSSports.com's Jon Heyman:
#redsox have determined matt kemp isn't a fit at this time. mariners, rangers, & via @jonmorosi tigers also talked kemp.
— Jon Heyman (@JonHeymanCBS) December 11, 2013
SPECTOR: Why Kemp-for-Price deal makes sense
It's not known what the Dodgers were asking for Kemp, or even if the teams engaged in serious talks. Boston could use an outfielder after losing Jacoby Ellsbury to the Yankees, although general manager Ben Cherington has been trying to talk up youngster Jackie Bradley Jr.

Dubstep Cartoons
Study on Drumming Error Patterns
From the Harvard Gazette. Rhythm pulses inside the brain of a Ghanaian drummer, sitting in a physics laboratory in Gottingen, Germany. His hands caress the skin of a bongo drum, guided by the metronome's tick through his headphones. He plays for five minutes, filling the sterile lab environment with staccato sounds, as a team of physicists records him, searching for a pattern. But the researchers aren't interested in what he does correctly — they are listening for his errors. Though the drummer is a professional, like all humans, his rhythm is imperfect. Each time his hand hits the drum, his beat falls ahead or behind the metronome by 10 to 20 milliseconds. On average, he anticipates the beat, and plays ahead of it, 16 milliseconds ahead — less than the time it takes a person to blink, or a dragonfly to flap its wings. What the physicists want to know is: Are these errors random, or correlated in a way that can be expressed by a mathematical law? ... Check it out HERE.

Angelman Syndrome Foundation Takes Major Step Toward Furthering Research Efforts
The Angelman Syndrome Foundation, www. angelman. org, announced the formation of the Angelman Treatment and Research Institute (ATRI), which will direct the organization's rapidly increasing research funding. The ATRI will also serve as a hub for more than 30 organizations, researchers and scientists worldwide to share discoveries and treatments for this neuro-genetic disorder. The announcement of the ATRI was made during the Angelman Syndrome Foundation's biennial conference in Orlando, Fla.
Orlando, FL (PRWEB) August 6, 2009
The Angelman Syndrome Foundation, www. angelman. org, announced the formation of the Angelman Treatment and Research Institute (ATRI), which will direct the organization's rapidly increasing research funding.
News Facts Related to Angelman Syndrome and the ATRI:
Angelman Syndrome (AS) occurs once in every 15,000 live births and exhibits symptoms such as: developmental delay; lack of speech; seizures; inappropriate laughter; and walking and balance disorders.
ATRI will realize the Angelman Syndrome Foundation's "scientific roadmap," which will help direct its aggressive funding of AS research.
Short term focus of the roadmap is to fund research that finds treatments that may cure symptoms of AS while continuing ongoing research and clinical trials involving UBE3A, the abnormal gene in AS patients.
Research funding will also focus on new therapies for symptoms, pharmaceuticals, biological agents, adaptive devices, surgical and diagnostic procedures.
An emphasis on adult AS patients will extend the scope of clinical trials to include a wide age group and investigate and advance life and self-help skills, vocational training, and access to community programs and health services.
ATRI will allow scientific members to conduct Web-based meetings and symposiums, and convene as necessary to discuss research progress and activities.
Since AS shares symptoms with several other disorders, including autism, cerebral palsy, epilepsy, Rett Syndrome, and Prader-Willi Syndrome, any progress toward treating and curing symptoms has the potential to positively affect more than 12 million people.
Quotes Attributed to Michael D. Ehlers, M. D., Ph. D., Department of Neurobiology at Duke University Medical Center:
"The creation of the Angelman Treatment and Research Institute is exciting and timely. "The priorities as established by the ATRI are right on in recognizing the continued need for expanding our fundamental knowledge of UBE3A and its role in brain development and function." "The Angelman Syndrome Foundation is to be applauded for having the vision to recognize the critical importance of basic research and in setting this research on a trajectory toward a cure." "I see a future of great opportunity and advance in neurodevelopmental disorders with Angelman Syndrome and the ATRI leading the way."
Quotes Attributed to Eileen Braun, Angelman Syndrome Foundation Executive Director
The Angelman Syndrome Foundation is committing $125,000 in seed funding to start ATRI with an ultimate goal of raising $2 million within two years. Funding will be used to implement program goals while the Angelman Syndrome Foundation's Scientific Advisory Committee will continue administering grant reviews and making funding recommendations for innovative research.

About Angelman Syndrome:
Identified by Dr. Harry Angelman, AS occurs once in every 15,000 live births and exhibits symptoms such as: developmental delay; lack of speech; seizures; inappropriate laughter; and walking and balance disorders. It is a life-long neuro-genetic disorder usually identified in patients between two and five years old. AS is often misdiagnosed as autism and a cure has not yet been developed.
About Angelman Syndrome Foundation:
The Angelman Syndrome Foundation, the leading resource for AS information, support and AS research funding was founded more than 20 years ago with the mission of advancing the awareness and treatment of AS through education and information, research and support for individuals with AS, their families and other concerned parties. Since 1996 the Angelman Syndrome Foundation has funded 51 research grants totaling over $2.5 million. The Angelman Syndrome Foundation has awarded a majority of these funds ($2.2 million) beginning in 2005. In November 2008, the Angelman Syndrome Foundation received Charity Navigator's 4-star rating for sound fiscal management. Only a quarter of all charities evaluated by Charity Navigator receive this distinction of demonstrating the ability to efficiently manage and grow its finances.

Environmental issues are a common challenge faced by all people of the world, and we are in an age where initiatives to reduce a company's burden on the environment affect the quality of its management and, in turn, the evaluation of its products. NSK tackled environmental issues early on, and in January 1999 we acquired ISO14001 certification, the global standard environmental management system. NSK shall implement in all its corporate activities, such as research and development, manufacturing, sales and services of ultra-high-speed rotary equipment, including dental instruments, the following environmental activities based on the goals of reduction of environmental impact for the global environment of the future, harmony with nature, and the establishment of a healthy and prosperous society.
- Replaced all air conditioners with models that are 45% more energy efficient than conventional models
- Installed demand monitoring equipment to manage the maximum power
- Installed automatically operating control panel, reducing power consumption in wings A, B and C by about 3%
(about 96,600kWh per year)
- Installed 256 solar panels in the front of our headquarters
- Introduced the "ECO wise" power visualization system
- Introduced the "ECODUCE" chemical management system
- Exceeded by a large margin soot and smoke emissions standards installing
a new high combustion "Ace Plaza type 2 Incinerator"
- Exceeded by a large margin industrial wastewater discharge standards for polishing treatment solutions,
etc., by installing "agglomerative precipitation-type biological waste water treatment equipment"
- Acquired the international standard environmental management system "ISO14001" certification
- Completed compliance with the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive
- Completed compliance with the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive
- Completed the abolition of ozone-depleting chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs)
- Completed the abolition of hazardous water-polluting (methylene chloride) organic solvents
- Completed the abolition of super millstream, which is subject to the Pollutant Release and Transfer Register (PRTR)
- Completed the abolition of trichloroethylene, a first-class organic solvent
- Installed a tertiary treatment septic tank
- Abolished a small incinerator in order to eliminate the emission of air pollutants such as dioxins
- Voluntary patrolling to check on nearby water quality
- Conducted "Environmental Impact Survey" within the company
- Running of a raw material and energy "loss eradication" campaign
The annual power generated by the solar panels at our headquarters is equivalent
to the amount of power consumed by 8 houses, making it the top class in Tochigi Prefecture
Use of cutting-oil precision filters
achieved a cutting-oil recycling rate of 97%
The water used at our factories is made completely clean at our water purifying facility and passes through a pond on our premises before being released into lakes and rivers.

I could not believe my eyes when my ball kept going in left lane and each time the ball was getting more burned. LOL This is great. SLAM, you should have your own exhibit. (bows down to Slam)

Does anyone else have an issue with the game stuttering when the ball hits just below the ADV target which triggers a sound?
Any suggestions would be appreciated

Wow, a first-class table! Great job! I especially like the flickering light effects and excellent sound.
There's only one thing I'm not fond of: the full-screen "devil face" that gratuitously flashes from time to time. It's pretty distracting... Some people may even feel it detracts from their enjoyment of the game.
In case anyone would like to turn it off, you can do so by editing the table's script and deleting the single line that says:
(It's not necessary to delete the three-line subroutine of the same name.) Cheers, Ander

Excellent table remix, ST. Graphically brilliant, aurally cool (the Halloween CD sounds are sometimes goofy) and the bat ball tweak is a lot of fun. I have had a little trouble with the curved elbow at the top-right being a little hinky - often it just stalls the ball and dribbles back out instead of hooking back to the top of the table. Fantastic table overall!

Even though I consider myself a purist, this is so well done that it's jaw-dropping. Absolutely stunning - the flaming saucer is an incredible touch. I've been using FP since day one and played this machine the year it came out and let me tell ya, the author has taken what I've always considered a mediocre-at-best pin and turned it into something amazing. Awesome stuff.

The package didn't migrate to testing not because of any problem of the package itself, nor the changes in -2, or while building it or bug reports, but because of a row in Package-arch-specific set in 2005 that allowed it only to be built for i386. In 2009 and 2011 the package was updated (incl. 2011, when the arch-restriction in debian/control was removed), but the restriction in that P-a-s file remained intact. So the package wasn't ever built *by buildd daemons* in amd64 arches (or any other non-386). But since it happens that we uploaders have amd64 machines, the package was actually provided in binary form for amd64 in the Debian repositories. It was never part of mips, armel or any other architecture, not even kfreebsd-amd64 where it's now built: === sdl-stretch: (you co-maintain it) = Missing build(s) on amd64 armel ia64 kfreebsd-i386 mips This might need manual action from your side. See https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=sdl-stretch = No migration to testing for 64 days. See <http://release.debian.org/migration/testing.pl?package=sdl-stretch> I updated -2 in April also without realising that, and about the freeze as per the notice above, I realized that this package was not being migrated to testing (-2 hadn't make it in 3 months) because of that ancient restriction in Package-arch-specific, etc. Why did -1 migrate but -2 didn't? I really don't know, but it was not due to a bug report or inherent problem. While trying to fix that and requesting removal from Package-arch-specific, I *was asked* to create -3 because a developer called Philipp Kern set it as a pre-requisite for him to remove the restriction on packages-arch-architecture [1]. And that's where we are now, otherwise the package would have already been migrated with -2, and this unblock would be a non-issue. [1] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=680275 > I don't see how those ramblings relate to the two lines I objected to. > They don't explain them, they just say that "there was no bug report" > (yet). *Why* does one need to set "-pipe -Wall", *why* --as-needed > (whose prior absence might cause rdepends to rely on linkage to be > present), *why* --no-undefined. But then I see now that it hasn't got > any rdepends at all. The changes in -2 were mostly harmless, whitespace + debhelper/policy depends updates + descriptions, and only these extra BUILD options which didn't cause any problem in buildds, nor any bug reports, same in Ubuntu (they already have -3 since a few weeks, also no bugs). The same options are used in other SDL packages (so they are there for consistency). --no-undefined is present already in the current version of sdl-mixer1.2 (~17k popcon, 15% of Debian systems) before the renewed SDL-team took over; and in the testing/unstable version sdl-ttf2.0, sdl-sound1.2, sdl-net1.2 since 8 months ago. --as-needed in most SDL modules. "-pipe -Wall" are pet peeves of mine, present in almost all of the packages that I maintain in Debian. I am not saying that they *have* to be there, but that now that they are there, most of them I deem them innocuous and want them to be there in the future, some of the more dangerous LDFLAGS don't seem to cause problem (and they are supposed to bring hardening benefits, which incidentally it's a release goal, even if --no-undefined is not included), and so I don't want to spend time removing them from sdl-stretch. So I'm not keen on the idea of spending more time changing back things that are IMO mostly inoccuous and will be introduced again ASAP, with no evidence so far that cause problems here or in Ubuntu, when if these do indeed cause an option they are already identified and can be promptly corrected in a new upload *if they really cause harm*. Apart from that, I've been waiting most of this month for this issue to be solved, now I am embarked in other tasks. So I respect your decision as release manager/helper and agree if you don't want to approve -3 or want to remove sdl-stretch altogether, but I'm really not planning in going ahead with the changes that you request. We've all been spending more time on this that this package really deserves. Maybe some other people in SDL team will, although I know that at least some of them are on holidays and offline for a few days/weeks. > Also I do not see how reverting those changes make that package FTBFS > shortly after stable is released. Having -1 without changes in -3, and now that the restriction in P-a-s files is removed, will make that a binary rebuild of the package will be rebuilt in architectures where it was never built before. So if somebody triggers a rebuild on testing right now, or in the future stable if sdl-stretch is not updated, it will probably fail to build in some of the architectures -- if I understand how the whole thing works. Cheers. -- Manuel A. Fernandez Montecelo <manuel.montezelo at gmail.com>

Yuen Long, a quiet residential area close to the Chinese border, has become the unlikely next battleground of Hong Kong's protest movement.
Over the last seven weeks, demonstrators have planned rallies across the territory – in parks, along main roads, in the airport and outside government offices – calling for the withdrawal of an extradition bill and making other political demands. But Yuen Long, known as one of the more remote, isolated areas in the north-west, had never been on the agenda.
On Sunday that changed. Commuters returning from dinner, going to meet friends or some coming back from the pro-democracy rally in central Hong Kong, pulled into the mass transit station to find dozens of men in white T-shirts waiting for them. They were masked, armed with rattan rods and other weapons.
Over the next half hour, passengers were chased, punched and lashed. Some frantically dialled emergency services but got no response. Police arrived after the assailants had gone and left before the men came back a second time. At least 45 people were sent to hospital.
The attack stunned locals, and many suspected the involvement of organised crime groups, the triads, which are active in the villages surrounding Yuen Long. Opposition lawmakers accused authorities of colluding with organised crime groups. Police arrested 12 people in connection with the attack, some with triad backgrounds.
In the immediate aftermath Yuen Long became a ghost town: shops across the main strip were closed and the streets were empty. Some locals rented hotel rooms out of town for a few nights.
As businesses gradually returned to normal, residents began bracing themselves for clashes between protesters, the police and suspected gangsters this weekend, as as previously planned demonstration in Kowloon, a commercial and residential district closer to central Hong Kong, on Saturday, was cancelled in order to hold a march in Yuen Long.
"Before the terrorist attack, none of the people are coming to Yuen Long for protest," said Max Chung, 39, a resident of Yuen Long who submitted paperwork to the police for the march this weekend. "We have our local issues, our local problems but it hasn't really been that serious until the attacks. That's why I was so surprised the villagers are so against the movement."
Mei, who runs a noodle restaurant near the train station, had reopened its doors on Tuesday. At 7pm her restaurant was half full. "I'm scared. I think all Hongkongers are scared," she said.
Aubree Au, 39, said she was shocked and horrified by news of the attack, and unable to sleep that night as she watched live updates of what was happening. "It was literally a gangster movie in real life," she said. It continued to affect her. "It hurts," she said. "I was terrified, knowing it was where I live."
A former satellite town built by the British in the 1970s and used for years as farmland, Yuen Long is still largely conservative and dominated by village traditions, according to Chung. Pro-Beijing and pro-establishment sentiment is strong, especially in the villages where the triads are believed to have the support of local authorities and Chinese public security.
Yet residents are also frustrated by China's encroachment into their lives. They blame Chinese tourists and parallel traders, who can reach Yuen Long in half an hour by bus from Shenzhen, for driving up real estate and living costs and crowding their streets.
Many in Yuen Long may agree with the demonstrators but choose not to say so, given how polarising the topic is, according to Fong, 60, a caretaker from the area. "A lot of people in Yuen Long do support the protesters, but they won't say it out loud. There's a large silent majority," he said.
Fong has been supportive of his son who has been at the protests. Fong who says he is "incredibly angry" at what he believes is the obvious collusion between the police and the triads, plans to attend Saturday's march. "I'm not scared," he said. "Hong Kong people care about these things. We all know it matters."
Not all residents – from Yuen Long or elsewhere – may be as brave as Fong and his son. This time protesters fear the triads, whose presence is usually visible only through the scattering of mahjong parlours, brothels advertised as massage services, and other businesses in Yuen Long. "Normally, they don't hurt people. They're businesspeople," said Fong.
Before the attack on Sunday, posters had circulated online warning people not to come to Yuen Long and set up Lennon Walls – named for the wall daubed with John Lennon-inspired political graffiti in Prague – or else they would have their hands and legs "chopped". The heads of several Hong Kong universities issued a letter making the "strongest plea" to students not to attend.
"You will have angry young people from various parts of Hong Kong and the triads may gather from all over Hong Kong. I'm worried and ordinary people are worried," said Joseph Cheng, a retired political science professor at the City University of Hong Kong.
Despite the warning, on Tuesday evening commuters passing through the same station where Sunday's attack took place had covered the walls, columns and railings with photos of the victims, photos of the attackers posing with their weapons, hundreds of sticky notes, and signs that said "Take Back Yuen Long". A group of volunteers who had heard about the wall online had come to guard passersby posting things there.
For Kay To, 29, a protester from Yuen Long, the attacks have made people in this normally peaceful district think about their safety, their role as citizens and the responsibilities of their leaders.
"They are starting to care," he said. "In Yuen Long we never had a protest maybe in these 100 years. There have been a lot of first times for Yuen Long."

On the one-year anniversary of the shooting of an Amtrak conductor in Naperville, Democratic Sen. Tammy Duckworth of Illinois on Wednesday introduced a bipartisan bill that would make assault or intimidation of passenger rail crew members a federal offense, which could lead to tougher penalties.
The bill, co-sponsored by Sen. John Hoeven, a North Dakota Republican, would provide the same federal protections to passenger rail engineers, conductors and other on-board service personnel as are provided to airline crew members, said a news release from Duckworth's office. Currently, any assault against a rail crew member is handled under the laws of the local jurisdiction where the crime is committed.
The bill, called the Passenger Rail Crew Protection Parity Act, is being introduced one year after the shooting of Michael Case at the Naperville train station. Case, who suffered extensive internal injuries and spent 10 weeks in the hospital, was one of 73 victims of recorded assaults on Amtrak crew members since 2015, Duckworth's office said.
The man who shot Case, Edward Klein, 80, formerly of West Allis, Wis., was charged with attempted murder but found to be unfit for trial after exhibiting signs of dementia and committed to a private facility in suburban Milwaukee. Case, 46, has said that he and his family supported the way the incident was resolved.
Having assaults adjudicated under federal law would mean that penalties would be tougher and more consistent across county and state lines, according to Duckworth's office.
"No one in America should experience what Amtrak conductor Michael Case endured while just doing his job," Duckworth said in the news release. She is a member of the Senate committee on commerce, science and transportation.
Latest News
Robert Guy, state director of the SMART Transportation Division, a union representing Amtrak and other rail workers, said in a statement that given the interstate nature of passenger rail, it "only makes sense" to give rail workers the same federal protections enjoyed by aviation employees.

Chair of Task Force that Recommended the Formation of CHHS Receives Lifetime Achievement Award
Dr. Robert Tyndall, chair of the 2008 Task Force on the Future of Health-Related Programs at UNCW, has been awarded The StarNews Media Lifetime Achievement Award. The Task Force's report led to the formation of the College of Health and Human Services.
Tyndall, a recently retired professor who served a 28-year tenure at UNCW, held numerous leadership roles at the university, including vice chancellor and associate provost for information technology resources and innovation, vice chancellor for public service and continuing education and dean of the Watson College of Education.
The StarNews Lifetime Achievement Award is awarded to "outstanding individuals who have given substantially of themselves for the improvement of the communities of Wilmington and Southeastern North Carolina, particularly in the areas of economic development, education, charity, health, preservation, arts and the environment."
"Dr. Tyndall is one of the most accomplished strategic thinkers I have had he good pleasure to know and work with," CHHS Dean Charles Hardy said. "His visionary leadership provided the context for the Task Force to recommend the formation of the CHHS. All of us in the CHHS and UNCW owe a lot to Dr. Tyndall. Thanks, Professor!"

The easiest thing to do when writing about Tilly and the Wall is to latch onto something. It can be the perpetual youthfulness, the exuberance that they seem to downright pulse with, or it can be their unbearable burden of making sure that frowns are always turned upside down and that the glass or the barrel - depending on your tolerance and capacity - are always half-full, not the other way around.
They achieved early - if you are to believe the clippings -- because of what was deemed a gimmick, the tap dancer for percussionist and the close personal friendship with Bright Eyes' Conor Oberst. Sure, it's a novel approach to not have to drag a drummer into the mixture, to keep the stage lineup as straight as an arrow. Not one member needs to be tucked behind the others, the even billing sets you free.
It's the democracy of the situation that makes it all the more special - the phalanx that consists of a straight line of performers, none relegated to the deep stage or the corner slot. It's one of the pesky problems that the Omaha five-piece - occasionally bigger when the tour calls for it - sometimes faces because of its unorthodox instrumentation. I mean, what kind of sick funny business are they trying to pull when they don't furnish themselves with a drummer, but instead opt for the capable and rock steady Jamie Pressnall, whose shoes do all of the happy work for her? There's nothing more wacky than a band without the employ of a drummer, someone to bang on things with sticks and brushes, or to tap upon things with harder instruments. You can do that. You can focus on the copout, the elevator speech, selling the band to your friends as the group - the only group - with a tap dancer. It's been done. It's old news and we couldn't be happier that it's old news.
Everyone's moved on to seeing the band of compadres as more than what they perceived as the Johnny-come-lately, we did something odd to get us blurbs. Have you ever watched people when they get their photos taken? This could be anywhere and at any time, but for now these photographs will be completely associated with posturing and the façade of celluloid and digital capturing for all of eternity. The permanence of a photograph can be debilitating if one really wanted to consult within themselves if such and such was a good idea.
So the mechanism that is used most frequently is a posture that kings the formality of the piece of paper with the glossy reflection bounces back off of it. One is to look unduly tough, hard enough to be bedrock and yet the effort is for naught. No one will ever believe that the photographed - when performing this rite - is actually tough. It becomes a joke, a hoax and it undermines those real photos of people whose faces really do hurt from the grins, from the complete happiness felt from inside.
With digital cameras, where the results can be examined instantaneously, there's no question that the look has overtaken the feel. The only reason any of us would like to glimpse that just-taken photograph is to confirm that we looked cool enough and tough enough that other people - should they ever come across that very photo - will immediately halt what they're doing and remark to a random man, woman or child or directly into the open air, "This is someone whose valor is obvious. If you don't believe it, please, here, observe them looking stone-faced and lost. That will do to convince the daylights out of your ass."
Tilly and the Wall, will smile in photographs. They will flash some big ones because they live the merry-go-round. There's that part of them - all five of the regulars - that suffers through the regular, run-of-the-mill atrocities of Monday-through-Sunday, but it does not define them or cause them worry. They get concerned about their friends and their loves. They think about the way a relationship can become, given the correct nursing. It can become a strain. It can become daunting to believe in the grand outcome. It can be frightening to know that the amazingly stealth eraser can come along at any moment and swipe, just grab the curtains and close them. But Tilly will smile for the betterment of sufferers everywhere, for the hope that it won't last. They will show up in photographs looking like sunrises.
*The Daytrotter interview:*
*You talked about it briefly, but please explain the kind of party it was when you toured with CSS. Everyone wants to know what this was like and they want details.*
Jamie Pressnall: CSS was amazing. They are all such sweet people. They are our Brazilian musical soul mates. We just clicked. Sometimes there is like magical connection you have with other artists and musicians, and CSS is definitely one of them. We had some crazy nights. I remember partying in the bus, and we all took turns crowd surfing across the bus tables...good times!!
*Orenda Fink stole your residency this summer. What have you been doing with yourselves to keep busy and new material on the right track?*
JP: We we're so stoked for Orenda. The Bemis is such a wonderful space to write and be creative. We now have our very own practice space working on the record. We try to write and work together every day. There is no set schedule. We all just try to be there as much as possible, and make every day productive.
*Feist sure has been getting a lot of her friends to form choirs for her when she makes national television appearances. When do you think she'll ask you?*
JP: Hmmm, I don't know. Anytime though, we'd fucking love it!! At my wedding, I walked down the isle to Nick playing "Secret Heart" on piano. Ahh memories!! I tap dance, does that sweeten the deal?? Hee hee.
*I like in this set that you have a song called "Urgency" and one called "Too Excited." That sums you guys up doesn't it?*
JP: Well, it's weird. We all write songs. Derek wrote "Urgency," Kianna wrote "Too Excited." I think all the songs have different meanings to whoever's listening to them. I will say this, they are both fun to tap too.
*What's the best new band you've heard and what makes them so goddamn great?*
JP: Cap Gun Coup. Check them out in the new year on Team Love. They are from Omaha too, and they are fucking great -- totally full of life, and youth, literally. The oldest one, I think just turned 21.
*What are your fans going to need to expect from the next record, though they get a good sampler here?*
JP: Ya know, we are so early in the stages of writing it's hard to say. I think this record is going to be a little more punk, and low-fi. It's actually not the direction I expected the record to go, but I am totally loving it.

Tic Tac Toe Challenge
This week's Paper Craft Crew challenge was a perfect timing for me! I love the Tic Tac Toe challenges they put together. So I decided to go across from top to bottom. Deer/Reindeer, Favorite Holiday Color and Christmas Theme.
So I had gotten this album kit last year and finally put it together to create my album, so most of the products are not SU. I am grateful for the album kit since it helped me get moving on something that has been on my to do pile for some time.
The items that SU are the Project Life Seasonal Snapshot 2015 stamp set, the retired Basic Black Polka Dot Ribbon, the Curvy Trio Punch and the White Perfect Accents colored with a Sharpie.

Reported: 11/9/2011 8:25:06 AM 08:25
Posted: 12/12/2011
Location: Morganton, NC
Shape: Circle
Duration:3 hrs
|A bright white pulsating, top shaped object with intermittent red, green, blue, purple lights with a small tail.
Last night a friend and I noticed a very bright, top shaped light appear south east of Morganton, N.C.. The object barely moved with no sound, and flashed red, blue, and white intermittent light.
After 10 minutes another object appeared 1 mile northeast of the other with the same features.
I went home and got my wife out of bed to observe them, while my friend called his cousin outside to witness the objects. We live 7 miles apart and stayed in touch by text messaging.
I viewed the first one with binoculars and it seemed to pulsate and had a tail similar to a comet, but had very intense streaks of red, green, blue, and purple light while the main body stayed very bright white.
The moon and was in 3/4 stage far to the west of the objects. We did witness man made aircraft passing under the first object. The aircraft was dwarfed by the object we saw. I could not see the second light from my house because of trees, but my friend, 7 miles north west could see both.
In 47 years, I have never saw anything like it. I witnessed the "Halle-Bopp" comet in 1997 but these objects seemed much closer to the earth.
A few days ago I learned the local news reported a UFO sighting over Lake James, which is approximately 10 miles northwest from our sightings.
The background was clear sky.

I visited Japan for about two weeks and it is nowhere near enough. Though we made a full use of it and I wouldn't spend it any other ways. Top of my list to do next time would be to visit the museums – something we didn't get to do because we knew we wouldn't have time for them over other priorities. So I collate this list for my Japan museum bucket-list. There are many museums in Japan – others more educational and artsy. The below are quite personal and unique museums that are close to my heart. I ordered them in term of how desperately I wanted to visit them:
1. Shinyokoyama Raumen Museum
This ramen museum is located close to Yokohama, about 40-50 minutes away from Tokyo. It is rather out of the way so you see why I couldn't slot it in. But this raumen place will be my top priority in the future. As a ramen lover – this is a must visit. It is not just a museum but a food-themed amusement park – the first in the world. The interior was inspired by the gone-by era on the late 50s when the first ramen was born. Best of all? There are so many ramen shops within a place that you can taste from all over the world under one theme park. What is there not to love?
Admission Fee and Opening Hours:
One-day ticket, open every day
Adult (13 or older) 310 JPY
Child ages 6 to 12 & seniors (60over) 100 JPY
Location and Address
2-14-21 Shinyokohama, Kohoku-ku, Yokohama-City, 222-0033, Japan
For more detail and information on how to get to the Museum visit their official website.
2. Studio Ghibli Museum
Coming here would be like a childhood fantasy realized. Me and my brother are HUGE fans of studio Ghibli and Hayao Miyazaki's amazing works. His anime feature film is always amazing and magical; I've watched all of them I believe, numerous times. To pick a favourite is hard but Howl's Moving Castle is probably it. Out of all the museums this one is probably the trickiest to visit. It is mostly FULLY BOOKED so planning ahead is a must. It is best to plan ahead as soon as you are planning your Japan trip.
Entry is strictly reservation only which can be done from overseas or in Japan by reserving ticket at LAWSON Convenient store all over Japan.
Admission Fee and Opening Hours:
Adult Age 19 and over 1,000 JPY
Young-Adult Age 13-18 700 JPY
Kids Age 7-12 400 JPY
Kids Age 4-6 100 JPY
Basic Opening Hours:10:00-18:00.
Closed : Tuesday
Their opening hours is complicated. If you want to book from over sea check out their official site.
Location and Address
Around 20 minutes away from Tokyo
1-1-83 Simorenjaku, Mitaka-shi, Tokyo 181-0013
For more detail and information on how to get to the Museum visit their official site.
3. Doraemon (Fujiko.F.Fujio) Museum
While I get familiar with Studio Ghibli later on in teenage years, Doraemon is a figure I grew up with. Doraemon is an iconic character that everybody with Asian background will be very familiar with. He is a robot from the future in a shape of a cat and has a half circle pocket on his belly – called the magic pocket. Within this pocket all sort of amazing futuristic/magical gadget can be withdrawn – mostly to rescue nobita – his lazy nerdy host who always get himself in trouble. The most popular items that we see time and time again out of the magic pocket are the mini helipad to stick on you head that allows you to fly, everyone's dream gadget which is a standalone go anywhere door, and a flashlight that can make things tiny or large. The museum is located further away from the ramen museum so you can choose to visit both in a day.
Admission Fee and Opening Hours:
Entry can be purchased in Japan by reserving ticket at LAWSON – the sooner the better to avoid it being sold out on your chosen day.
Adults and University Students 1,000 JPY
High School and Junior High School Students 700 JPY
Children (4 years or older) 500 JPY
Open: 10.00 – 18.00 , with specific 4 entrance time in a day; 10:00, 12:00, 14:00, and 16:00.
Closed : Every Tuesday except (April 29th – May 5th) and summer holidays (July 20th – September 3rd). The Year-end and New Year Holidays (December 30th – January 3rd).
Location and Address
2-chome 8-1 Nagao, Tama-ku, Kawasaki-city, Kanagawa Prefecture, 214-0023
For more detail and information on how to get to the Museum visit their official website.
4. Momofuku Ando Instant Ramen Museum
Is it not obvious that I love noodles? Here is another noodle related museum in Osaka, also known as the Cup Noodles Museum. Apparently cup noodle have a long fascinating story of its own. Not to mention the countless packaging designs and a cup noodle factory – they definitely deserves a museum of its own. I can imagine myself being like a kid in a candy store here.
Admission Fee and Opening Hours:
Adults: 500 JPY
High School student and younger: Free
Opening hours: 10:00-18:00 (last admission 17:00)

For more detail and information on how to get to the Museum visit their official website.
5. Adachi Museum of Art
Last but not least, let's immerse ourselves in some culture and have a break from cartoon and noodle at Adachi Museum Art. Adachi Museum is home to some of the most beautiful painting and artwork of Japan. It also house a beautiful garden that has consecutively won the title of best garden of Japan – just by this piece of information alone, I'm sold.
Admission Fee and Opening Hours:
Adults : 2,300 JPY
High School Students: 1,800 JPY
Junior High School Student: 500 JPY
Opening Hours: 9:00-17:00

Beyonce & Jay Z: The Romantic Way He Is Trying To Win Her Back
Rumors have been swirling that Jay Z and Beyoncé's marriage is in trouble, but don't count these two out just yet! HollywoodLife.com has learned EXCLUSIVELY that Jay is not ready to throw in the towel, and has an extremely romantic plan in store to save their marriage!
Jay Z, 44, and Beyoncé, 32, have been busy with their On The Run tour, but they certainly weren't able to out run rumors that the duo were planning on splitting up! Now, HollywoodLife.com has learned the exclusive way that Jay plans on winning back his wife. Read below for all the details!
Jay Z Wins Back Beyoncé
Rumors have been running wild that Queen Bey and Jay Z's six-year marriage may be coming to an end, following allegations that Jay has cheated on his wife, and that the pair are living separately while on tour.
Now, HollywoodLife.com has learned exclusively that Jay is not ready to give up on his marriage and is planning to fight for his lady-love.
A source told us, "Jay is romancing her, he's going hard to win her back, trying to make it a honeymoon all over again. It's not just the presidential suite and dinners out, he filled their room with red roses, and he's begging her to run away on a vacation with him for their break."
As we previously reported, following their Aug.5 concert, the duo did spend some quality time together when they stayed in the St.Regis hotel suite for a whopping $30,000 a night!
On Aug. 6, the couple was spotted out at Boulevard restaurant in San Francisco, dining with their adorable daughter, Blue Ivy, 2.
Jay is doing his best to win her back, a source says, "He's so desperate to keep her, all his attention is on her. It's like before, when he was trying to get her to marry him, he's zeroed in on her and she really has a hard time saying no to him when he gets like this."
Good for Jay for stepping up and trying to fix his relationship!
Oliva McFaller Releases 'Sorry Mrs. Carter'
As if the couple needed one more thing to worry about, rapper Olivia McFaller released a new song entitled "Sorry Mrs. Carter" on Aug 4.
In the song, Liv suggests that Jay attempted to get her digits while he was dating Beyoncé. Liv previously told HollywoodLife.com, "I told you the day Jay Z and I exchanged numbers (at Nobu Miami), Solange came walking up out of no where!" Liv alleged. "I thought I was about to get my a** beat myself so I backed off quickly … She has been guarding her sister's property since day one. Bey doesn't even have to say anything. Solange is a beast."
Liv told us that she never followed up when Jay gave her his number because she didn't want to do that to Beyoncé.
Hopefully Jay will be able to show Beyoncé that he wants to work this out, and they will be able to remain a united front!
What do YOU think, HollywoodLifers? Do you think Jay Z and Beyoncé can make their marriage work?

|Display stops updating if I change the backbuffer-- What am I doing wrong?
Member #16,498
July 2016
I've been using Allegro for a while, but I've encountered a couple of issues that make me question whether or not I'm using it correctly.
The part of my code that handles the drawing looks like this:
1// Switch to the "scene" bitmap. 2al_set_target_bitmap(__scene_bitmap); 3 4// Draw stuff (objects, GUI, whatever) 5 6// Switch back to the display's buffer. 7al_set_target_bitmap(al_get_backbuffer(__main_display)); 8 9// Draw the "scene" bitmap. 10al_draw_bitmap(__scene_bitmap, 0.0f, 0.0f, NULL); 11 12// Flip display 13al_flip_display();
Everything works as expected... Or so it seems. If I press Ctrl+Alt+Del, then get out of the menu that appears and then go back to the game, the display is no longer updating, but stuck showing the state of the display before I pressed Ctrl+Alt+Del. This also occurs when Windows' UAC is triggered.
It made me wonder if the event loop stopped for some reason, but nope-- it's still chugging along, and the drawing code is being called, it's just no longer being shown on the display.
If I comment out this line...
... It works fine, and the problem no longer occurs, so it has something to do with changing the target bitmap.
On a related note, I use this code to toggle full-screen:
1al_toggle_display_flag(__main_display, ALLEGRO_FULLSCREEN_WINDOW, fullscreen);
When I don't change the target bitmap, this code works as expected (the display is now full-screen). However, if I do change the target bitmap, the display just disappears when this is called and no longer responds. It seems like it does go full-screen (because it blocks all mouse-clicks), it's just invisible and I can't do anything with it.
Any idea what I'm doing wrong, or how I can fix this?
PS: I definitely need to be able to be able to change the target bitmap; commenting that line out permanently isn't an option (my coordinate system among other things relies on this).

What platform are you developing on? Mac, windows, Linux?
Member #16,498
July 2016
Thanks for the reply!
I'm using Windows 8.1 with Allegro 5.20. I haven't verified the issue in Linux, because I don't know what the equivalent of the Ctrl+Alt+Del screen/Windows' UAC pop-ups would be...
Also, if it helps, I put together a full example to show the problem:
1#include <allegro5/allegro.h> 2 3int main() { 4 5 al_init(); 6 7 ALLEGRO_DISPLAY* display = al_create_display(640, 480); 8 ALLEGRO_EVENT_QUEUE* event_queue = al_create_event_queue(); 9 ALLEGRO_TIMER* timer = al_create_timer(1.0f / 60.0f); 10 ALLEGRO_BITMAP* other_bitmap = al_create_bitmap(640, 480); 11 12 al_start_timer(timer); 13 al_register_event_source(event_queue, al_get_timer_event_source(timer)); 14 15 al_clear_to_color(al_map_rgb(0, 0, 0)); 16 al_flip_display(); 17 18 float r = 0.0f, g = 0.0f, b = 0.0f; 19 20 while (true) { 21 22 ALLEGRO_EVENT ev; 23 al_wait_for_event(event_queue, &ev); 24 25 if (ev.type == ALLEGRO_EVENT_TIMER) { 26 27 static bool fade_in = true; 28 if (fade_in) { 29 r += 0.005f; 30 g += 0.005f; 31 b += 0.005f; 32 fade_in = !(r >= 1.0f || g >= 1.0f || b >= 1.0f); 33 } 34 else { 35 r -= 0.005f; 36 g -= 0.005f; 37 b -= 0.005f; 38 fade_in = !(r > 0.0f || g > 0.0f || b > 0.0f); 39 } 40 41 al_set_target_bitmap(other_bitmap); // <-- Problematic! 42 43 al_clear_to_color(al_map_rgb_f(r, g, b)); 44 45 al_set_target_backbuffer(display); 46 47 al_draw_bitmap(other_bitmap, 0.0f, 0.0f, NULL); 48 49 al_flip_display(); 50 51 } 52 53 } 54 55 return 0; 56 57}
As you can see, the screen fades in and out from black-to-white. If I press Ctrl+Alt+Del (which shows the menu with Task Manager, Lock, Switch user, etc.; I don't know what to call it, honestly) and then return to the game, the animation stops updating, even though the drawing code is still being called.
is commented out, the problem no longer occurs.
Another thing that might be worth mentioning is that I was using 5.0.10 prior to updating to 5.20, and this problem didn't occur.

Thanks for the test example, it was very helpful.
This bug is already fixed on the master branch, and will be in the 5.2.1 release (which is coming soon).

I'm glad to hear that it's already been fixed! I'll keep working around it for now.
Thanks a lot for the quick response.
