I am using boost compute and i have the following question.
My goal is to apply a transform function (T1) on a vector (V1) and Put the values in a vector (V2). As far as my understanding goes if i use boost::compute::transform it will apply on each element T1 function on each element of V1 and puts the corresponding value in V2,
Now i want my T1 function not only take an element of the vector V1 as input but also another input let us say L1 which is instance of struct
with value set accordingly . And this input remains same for T1 even though the its another input moves over each element in the vector . How to do this efficently in boost compute ?
One solution is to use another vector which has L1 values repeated and then apply a binary operator, but that sounds inefficent. Is there any pther way to achieve this.

Regarding the 'depends_on()' solution to the second problem: this could work for Boost.Compute, because (a) your hands are not tied with requirement that kernels should be distinguishable at compile time, and (b) you don't invent your own name for the function (user provides the name, hence he knows what to call).

Second issue is the bigger one for me, because I don't ask users for the function name.

I did something similar to what you propose (but more explicit) when I implemented sort/reduce primitives from http://nvlabs.github.io/moderngpu. The code is heavily based on templated device functions, and for each of those I had two methods: one for inserting the function call into kernel code, and the other to insert the definition of the function into the kernel preamble. The name of the actual function had to be generated because single kernel may use several instantiations of a single templated function (see e.g. here). Then, at the kernel generation site I explicitly state which functions will I need.Denis Demidovhttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-3717563376108233924.post-22930357133549873312014-03-09T11:55:44.601-07:002014-03-09T11:55:44.601-07:00Both are issues I've though about (and both sh...Both are issues I've though about (and both should be solvable :-) ).

My idea for named parameters is to allow the function macro to accept a list of (type, name) pairs for the function arguments argument. So something like BOOST_COMPUTE_FUNCTION(bool, foo, (int, int), ...) would get the default '_1' and '_2' argument names while BOOST_COMPUTE_FUNCTION(bool, bar, ((int, x), (int, y)), ...) would get 'x' and 'y' as the argument names. This should be doable using a bit of Boost.PP magic.

Supporting functions that call other functions is a bit trickier. I don't think it's possible to support automatically (though maybe it is with C++11 user-defined-literals, I'll have to investigate more). My general plan is to add something like a 'depends_on(Function)' method to the function<> class which is called by the user to indicate that one function depends on another (though possible this could be wrapped up with some meta-programming and resolved at compile-time). Then Boost.Compute would ensure that all of a functions dependencies are inserted before the function itself is used. This will take a bit more time to plan out and implement. However, supporting functions that depend on other functions will allow for more general/generic OpenCL/C++ function libraries to be created and provided to users. This is definitely on my TODO list.

Any other ideas you've had?Kyle Lutzhttps://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-3717563376108233924.post-6363733737346627302014-03-09T11:28:39.280-07:002014-03-09T11:28:39.280-07:00> The function variables are given the placehol...> The function variables are given the placeholder names _1, _2, ... _n (in the future I plan on allowing custom parameter names to be specified as well).

I'd like to have that in VexCL as well. Named parameters could make longer function bodies much more readable. The drawback is that I can not come up with a concise syntax for giving parameter names (which would not make defining shorter functions a hassle). Do you have any ideas here?

Another problem (that I would like to see an elegant solution for) with user-defined functions: it seems impossible to call a user-defined function from another function's body (because the body is just a string, opaque for the host compiler) without introducing more hoops for the user.Denis Demidovhttps://email@example.com

Every business requires a set of reliable financing solutions that helps it meet its financial goals quickly and with the lowest turnaround time. Time, security and ease are important benchmarks for companies wanting to transact with other businesses, pay office staff and vendors and make important business purchases. As such, the finance channels of any company must be secure and backed by an experienced financial institution that can provide money solutions as well as monitor financial processes for the company.
Having capital at hand helps companies plan their short term and long term goals, procure machinery and skilled manpower, expand into other territories and even acquire smaller businesses to enlarge its portfolio.
Banks and financial institutions often provide the resources that help companies expand their scope of operations for a variety of requirements. However, it is key to select a bank that provides a gamut of exceptional financing products and services that bolster the company's performance and portfolio.
Islamic banks are feted year on year for their diverse range of customer-centred products, but truly excel in the field of providing financial products and services to businesses in the UAE. The Bank's Murabaha and Ijarah products are designed to meet a range of businesses' needs: from sourcing working capital to offering trade finance solutions.
Banks backed by Islamic benefit from its inter-city presence in three prominent locations in the UAE, apart from its nine branches spread out all over Dubai. However, it also offers a range of business accounts which can be opened and closed quite easily without wasting much business time and without too much paperwork. Apart from these, there are many options in transaction banking (from fund transfers to issuing standing orders for payments, and from making Wakala Agreement for investment to creating salary accounts for employees) and trade services as well (from issuing Letter of Credit to shipping guarantees). The Bank also rises above other banks and financial institutions in the area of business banking for start-ups and e-commerce platforms.
Islamic banks offer an interactive web platform for online banking and money transfer, as also excellent solutions for businesses requiring assistance in the arena of Wages Protection System (WPS).

Blackboard Jungle | cat photography
Today I decided to chalk up a post on facebook using my trusty blackboard. This little board I got from Typo and I love it. Very handy and it has a very handy delete function if you write a message you suddenly regret - called a duster!
You'd think photographing a blackboard, which just sits there, would be easy - but nothing happens at our place without the cats deciding its a good idea they should get involved one way or another. Both investigated the board and - erm - made their mark.
All cat "owners" out there (still not sure who "owns" who in these relationships) probably recognise subsequent events as recorded by this humble photographer.
Its not easy running a blog - especially a photographic blog which involves not only writing but also shooting. Add animals to the mix and it's a labour of love.

KidCo Anti-Tip TV Straps - S143
Item # L9351644
Reg. $15.99While Quantities Last
- Prevents a flat screen TV from tipping over
- Nylon straps help to secure TV to wall or furniture
- Screw mount
- Includes two straps to mount one TV
Flat screen televisions are light weight compared to the older box models, but they still pose a serious threat of injury to children. Your little explorer is not equipped to think of the dangers if they decide to climb on the piece of furniture where your television is placed. They may be reaching for what they see on the screen or accidentally bump into it while playing and exploring. That television can fall with the force of a thousand pounds, causing serious head and internal injuries which can be fatal. Toddlers and small children are no match for the weight and force of a TV tipping over.
Did you know that every 23 minutes a child is treated at an emergency room for injuries sustained from tipping televisions and furniture? According to Health Canada, more than 70% of injuries caused by tipping televisions and furniture happened to children between 1 and 3 years of age.
These are horrifying statistics and can be prevented with a little knowledge and taking a few moments to secure televisions and furniture. There is never a substitute for supervising your children, but we both know how quick toddlers can get into mischief.
All televisions in your home should be secured. The KidCo Anti-Tip TV Straps install quickly. Each package contains two straps and an assortment of screws to fit most televisions. With one end of the strap secured to the television, the other can be mounted to the wall or secured to the back of the furniture piece that houses your television.
Any home where your child will be spending a lot of time should be evaluated and childproofed. Learning to be a parent while being a parent is a monumental responsibility to say the least. You love them, teach them right from wrong, and sit back and watch their little personalities develop bringing unending joy to your heart. So take a few moments and ensure their safety.

2 straps (secures 1 TV)

AstraZeneca's global biologics unit MedImmune is to close two California research facilities as part of its commitment to its parent company's restructuring programme.
In February AstraZeneca (AZ) outlined a major efficiency drive that will see more than 7,000 jobs cut across most areas of its business, including research.
The axe fell first on AZ's neuroscience operations, where research work was halted at two sites in favour a new 'virtual' neuroscience Innovative Medicines (iMed) unit, staffed by a team of 40-50 company scientists.
The latest cuts will see MedImmune's US sites in Mountain View and Santa Clara closed, with the loss of around 200 jobs, while a further 100 are expected to move to another of the company's sites.
One of these is in Hayward, California, which not only escaped the axe but will have "additional capabilities invested in," MedImmune said.
"MedImmune is committed to infectious diseases and vaccines research and development and believes that these changes will enhance innovation across its therapeutic areas and improve alignment with other areas of product development while reducing the fixed costs associated with the sites," the company said in a statement.
AstraZeneca bought MedImmune five years ago for $15.6bn as part of its entrance into biologics and subsequently augmented the unit with its Cambridge Antibody Technology (CAT) biotech business.
MedImmune, whose Maryland headquarters are pictured above, said its expects to complete the changes to its operations in 2014 in order to "allow for a seamless transition of ongoing activies."

Random Things Needing Discernment
15 comments:
Wow, this was quite the roundup.
Cru - not shocked, considering they dropped Jesus's name from their organization's name.
Sermons on s*x - wasn't that an early red flag about Driscoll, if my memory serves me correctly? Along with his irreverence in his books... I think he wrote one in which he called Jesus a kleptomaniac. Sad that it took the crash and burn of Mars Hill for many to finally see how unqualified he had always been (despite decade long trail of red flags). Though some today still think it is ok that he is a pastor!
C3 - the philosophy of "putting on a show to draw a crowd" truly is what they are doing, though they won't admit it, whether it's these idiotic conferences, or churches that make their sanctuaries look like entertainment venues. This truly is the age of Laodicea, all the churches think they are great and doing mighty things for God, but Christ is outside the door, knocking, telling them they are wretched.
Tithing / deliverance articles - good; both practices bring bondage.
And of course, the "big name" preachers keep falling, one by one. Sad. Hence why the church should not really "follow" celebrity preachers. Some of these men (and women "ministers" too like BM) are held up as virtual idols.
Dave Ramsey - didn't his show start with an intro that said something like "welcome to the DR show, where cash is king"... hm, I always thought Christ was King. I will say this, though. Being financially responsible is a Christian's duty.
The American church has absolutely lost her mooring.

Yep, Driscoll was heavy into "sex sermons" and locker-room jock behavior in regards to sex. And yet he's sill going.
- February 22, 2017 at 1:04 PM
Hi Glenn,
Regarding MD, that's what I thought. Sad he is still going, isn't it? Even sadder that there are Christian pastors who still follow/promote him!
Just watched that video about Dave Ramsey. I never paid much attention to DR, but after watching that video, it is clear that he is a prosperity huckster. That, and the whole mega church concept makes me ill. It's the absolute antithesis of a true Biblical church. May the Lord bring the age of the mega church to a grinding halt.
- February 22, 2017 at 1:16 PM
- Glenn E. Chatfield said...
I wouldn't call him a "prosperity huckster" because he doesn't teach that "gospel." What he teaches is good financial programs. He should stick to that and not try to make financial planning as part of a sermon which has nothing to do with financial planning.
- February 22, 2017 at 1:35 PM
Well, I would disagree, because his whole focus in that video was on getting rich. He uses the concept of "good financial planning" as a means to that end. Even his comments on choosing friends by their net worth, so you can be more like them (net worth wise), was a means to that end.
It's a different slant on the prosperity error, but it's the same junk. Like I said, Christians should be responsible financially. And we also should choose friends wisely, but not the way DR meant. We should have friends who are godly, and help us walk in a manner worthy of the calling we've received.
- February 22, 2017 at 2:20 PM
- Glenn E. Chatfield said...
BUT, the "prosperity" gospel is the idea that God wants you to be rich and the more you give to the heretics the more God will bless you. DR doesn't teach that. His focus is getting rich by proper financial management, not because God wants you to be rich.
- February 22, 2017 at 2:37 PM
I do see DR teaching "give to get". Still using God for financial gain. Like I said, a different slant. More subtle. But I'm not going to strive about the issue. :) I know you reject prosperity preaching, wholly.
Thanks again for all your edifying posts!
- February 22, 2017 at 2:58 PM
PS these verses came to mind here, just a good prospective to keep in mind regarding DR:
1 Tim 6:5-11
Hope that helps too.
- February 22, 2017 at 3:20 PM
- Glenn E. Chatfield said...
I don't know much about DR except that he has some good financial advise to help people with their budgets and how to save for the future. Nothing in this particular video says to me that he is promoting the idea that God WANTS us to be wealthy, or that we should seek to be rich rather than seek to be financially sound.
However, I've been seeing some comments on social media in regards to this video by people who are familiar with his teachings and I guess he's got more problems associating the Bible with wealth being an important thing, and he teaches that stupid idea of the tithe!!!
Most of what I've seen him give as financial advise is really common sense, and things I have done from the beginning; other things I wish I had done thinking towards retirement in preparing for medical bills!!!
But the man needs to never discuss theology again.
- February 22, 2017 at 3:26 PM
A good question to ask would be "Is Dave Ramsey a born again Christian?" And yes, he does give sound financial advice, but I have to wonder, exactly what kind of preaching and teaching did Jesus do in His day? What did He have to say about finances, wealth, and making it "big in this world?"
I'm not a hippie, and money does pay the bills, however,in most so called Christian churches and even in my close circle of friends, money, money, money tops the sermon of the day, and is spoken of far, far more than Jesus/His Ways. And in the most conservative of churches ,far more money is spent on big screens,elaborate sound systems, and gymnasiums attached to the fanciful sanctuaries, than helping the poor, feeding/caring for the sick, visiting the widows, and adopting the orphans....and this is not social gospel false teachings....it's the Way of Christ.
Sorry, the visible church that I have been a part of, lectures us more on money, than it does on loving the LORD with all of your heart, mind, and soul, and another big one; loving your neighbor as yourself.
Jesus left our fancy buildings with all of its fancy finds, long, long ago.....it's the unchurched believers of Jesus Christ that minister/take care of me when I am ill and struggling with paying the bills.
- February 23, 2017 at 6:17 AM
- Glenn E. Chatfield said...
Being financially sound is actually proper for the Christian, and even the Proverbs speak of saving for future needs. Seeking wealth simply to be rich is nothing but greed, which IS a sin. As noted previously, I think DR's financial advice -- from what I've seen - falls in the preparatory category rather than seek wealth category.
I have no reason to believe DR isn't a born again believer as he claims. But that doesn't mean everything he says will be right.
I fully agree that the modern church spends way too much in an effort to be "up-to-date" with all the whiz-bangs and golly-gee technologies, which is why we quit giving to the assembly long ago (although we began giving to the local assembly at our current place because they seem to be much more concerned about what they do with the offerings!) and our giving is to missionaries and other ministries where we can actually see the work of the Lord being done.
Two assemblies we've attended for a while before leaving were on the high-pressure "giving" bandwagon so they could build new, not needed facilities. They hired firms to teaching them how to promote giving! Hired them with the hard-earned money congregants had provided for general offerings. A reason we left both places.
Most assemblies I've encountered never mention giving, but just "pass the plate" for anyone who wants to give (one assembly just had an offering box in the hall and never mentioned it).
- February 23, 2017 at 2:41 PM
Boy Martha and Glenn, your comments about the modern church spending - on big screens, big sanctuaries, gymnasiums, sound systems, whiz bangs and golly gee's (love that) i.e. all the fancy technologies, new unneeded buildings/facilities, instead of on the saints in need, missions, and ministry where the true work of the Lord is being done - man you both knocked that out of the park. SO (unfortunately) TRUE.
Too many times the churches we've attended have their budget in each week's bulletin. With, of course, a Bible verse on giving (sometimes with a 'tithe" reference) highlighted especially when they are in the red. Though, if you sit through a business meeting, these churches often have six figures sitting in a bank account, stuck, for a "building project" for a bigger church building, that often lags or never materializes. Of course, this also begs the question - do we need bigger mega churches, or would it be better to train up more men, and plant more, smaller assemblies, in more communities, meeting in smaller, easier-to-maintain facilities, so more giving can go to direct Gospel proclamation and care of the saints (including making sure the pastor can feed his family!)? Though I know at the mega mega's, most pastors rake in the dough in obscene amounts... but at average churches, the six figure building fund far overshadows the pastor's salary, and most pastors we've known have several children.
Take a guess what I think should be done? ;-)

Thank-you for your comment. It grieves me to no end, the spending habits of our local churches, for I find most of it absolutely disgusting, furthering the kingdom of men (invite more friends so we can look good as a 'growing church' AND they can give more money so we can build and look impressive to the material world.
While I have literally sat amongst the 'leadership' who consistently denied benevolence (that's my money given to help those in need) to women who were recently divorced, using government funding to attend schooling to support themselves, all the while their ex husbands either refused or could not afford child/alimony payments as ordered by the courts. I have known several women who had to humble themselves in approaching church boards to ask for funding to pay their grocery and electric bills, but were denied.
Boastingly, church board leadership has arrogantly told me, "We give them a small amount and that's it, because we don't want them dependent on us." So they are referred to government resources (Human Services) for their sustenance and survival. The "c'hurch" is too important in building their earthly kingdoms complete with all of the material garbage that does NOT save souls nor help the helpless in time of need.
Does this make me, a born again believer, angry? You betch-ya! And I get sick to my stomach when I hear the pastor begging for more money for a new improved sound system when my neighbor and friend wonders if her paycheck will cover the food costs for her single parent family of four. And I get even more sick to my stomach when I hear those churchly conservative voices around me (those who have not the compassion of Christ)say,
"Well, we have to exhibit god's tough love in order to teach her a lesson."
Jesus came to save the souls of mankind, not the junk we choose to worship and adore. We can be the missionaries amongst even amongst the churched in this day and age. The unchurched, I believe, are more good and godly in helping the 'least of these,' and even speaking of Jesus in every day conversation, than those who are members of the 501c. 3 church.

Haven't listened enough to Dave Ramsey to know what his Biblical views are. At this point in my life I know well enough what I should and shouldn't do with my loot. I may listen more now just to see how he makes the money/Bible connection. Without buying into prosperity preaching...because I don't...I do not buy into any "anti-prosperity" preaching, either, such as some like to pretend. I simply believe that we can do more for others if we have more with which to do more. One can achieve without ignoring God or putting Him second to monetary acquisition. Working smarter and harder is both Godly and profitable. It's only when the working and profiting replaces God in our lives that spiritual problems exist.

I will never forget the day that two turbaned, bearded strangers approached me as I stood in the midst of a camp for internally displaced people on the outskirts of Kabul, Afghanistan. My mind instantly flooded with stereotypes of the Taliban -- whose misogynist interpretations of Islam resulted in the brutal oppression of Afghan women -- and I braced myself for the ways they could express their disapproval for the women that were gathering to enroll in Women for Women International's program. But, to my absolute surprise, the men had come to thank me for the opportunities that our organization had brought to the women, their families, and their community.First of all, I think it's wonderful that these men expressed their feelings on the issue--I'm not saying they should get a cookie, but I do think that it's a good thing when men recognize the ways in which feminist organizations help us all.
Next, Salbi takes a step back and asks us to acknowledge some of the struggles that men face:
But, what happens to men is complex as well. While it is true that men lead violent actions in war, including the majority of the killing, raping and pillaging that occurs, not all men are part of that reality. In truth, many men are drawn into the stereotypes of the male aggressor regardless of their own beliefs, values and actions. For example, when rape and other forms of gender-based violence are used as weapons during war, afterwards many men are left struggling with the very essence of their manhood and masculinity after they witness the rape of their wife and daughters.I applaud Salbi's recognition of the importance of changing conceptions of masculinity and where that leads men--not only do men have to deal with the guilt of being the guiding force of violence (against women, yes, but also against other men), but they also have to deal with a lack of options. Bucking traditional masculinity is dangerous to men.
Salbi continues, telling a heartbreaking story of one man's (late) realization that how he had treated women his whole life was wrong. Unfortunately, this fact that was only revealed to him upon being humiliated at the hands of the Taliban:
As we work on building peace and stability in different war torn regions, it is important that we understand the complexities of gender and recognize the struggles not only faced by women but by men as well. This complexity and struggle can be seen all over the world. An Afghan woman once told me how her father-in-law, an older man with weak hearing who worked as a hospital guard during the Taliban control of Afghanistan was slapped by a member of the Taliban when he didn't open the door immediately to the knocks he couldn't hear. When her father-in-law returned home, he complained of being sick and remained in bed for three days. On the fourth day, he left his bed, knelt in front of the women in his family, and apologized for the times he had slapped them in the past, saying that, until his encounter with the Taliban, he had never thought of the humiliation it caused. From then on in that household, women were safe from physical abuse.What can men do? Men can learn these lessons, sure (earlier would be better, of course, and the best situation would be if such lessons were taught to men as boys), but men can also work with organizations like Women for Women International, and donate to them financially, or as a volunteer. as more and more feminists see the importance of bringing men into the picture, this should help encourage more and more men to support these feminist causes.
Be sure to read Salbi's entire article. It's full of even more insight and inspiration, especially for feminist and pro-feminist men.

Do data center professionals in Dallas see the industry differently than their counterparts in New York? How do the views of government data center specialists in Washington compare to those of Internet executives from Silicon Valley?
New research from DataCenterDynamics brings together snapshots from major data center markets around the U.S. throughout 2007, and provides interesting insight into the leading areas of concern and opportunity. The research, gathered at DataCenterDynamics events, provides individual market reports for New York/New Jersey, the Washington DC area, San Francisco/Bay Area, Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex and Chicago.
DataCenterDynamics says the results suggest that about $6 billion was invested in U.S. data centers in the past 12 months, while $8 billion in spending is likely in the next 12 months. The individual market reporting the strongest expected data center investment was New York, where demand is driven by financial institutions represented at the DataCenterDynamics event.
The survey found that the average American data center facility has an average power use of 5.5kW per rack, with a maximum rack load of 11.6kW. That's slightly higher than the power usage in Europe, where the average company-wide average is 4.1 kW and the maximum was 10.1 kW a rack.
The report, US Datacenter Infrastructure Trends and Market Attitudes, is the second in a series of regional reports tracking the changing investment landscape and the uptake of new technologies by datacenter operators. The full report can be purchased online at the DataCenterDynamics web site.

OP here, thank you all for the replies!! Just to confirm she's not religious at all or anything like that and acts as if she's really supportive to my face before going behind my back and acting as if it's demonic or something. The awkward part, though, is that my younger sister came out as lesbian a few years ago too, and my mother was more than happy to discuss her and her girlfriend, but despite myself having been out to her for 8 years now, she still seems to be really awkward about me dating guys. Also, to the few individuals who suggested that I must look like a girl, I'm more of a beard and suit sort of guy personally. On another note, thank you to those who suggested calling her my father and going into her work place in Drag; I'll be staying with her next month for a little while and may have to borrow one of my sister's dresses and cosplay wigs to roll up to her workplace - along with unshaven legs and face, whilst maintaining the usual booming man voice, of course.

I don't agree with her at all but I can see one reason while she did that. If she's a Christian,baptist,catholic,Muslim(can't recall any other religions that condone being gay) but if she is one of those she could be ashamed of you because you go against what she believes in, now I'm not saying what she did was ok I'm just saying I can understand why I would never do this myself if I had a gay son/daughter

I attend a super progressive baptist church. Our pastor is a lesbian, we constantly protest against social justice issues, etc. I also know progressive Catholics, Muslims, etc. Please don't make broad assumptions about religions, or say that religion can justify hatred.

This seems like something that would be understandable if it happened once while a stranger put her on the spot (and even then not okay but forgivable), but really? For four years without telling you? That's unacceptable.
By GhostFox | 33
I guess I'm a spiteful little bastard because my thought for revenge was dressing up in a dress, wig, and makeup, with as much body hair on display that's legal and go to an event where your mom and coworkers would be.
But that might be gasoline on an already lit flame and that's not the best idea.

Life in this paradise really is queer. Fantastic palm-fringed beaches, but no one goes for a swim, as crocodiles lurk everywhere in the waters. Going snorking in the 30°C warm water is only possible wearing a wetsuit; Anything else would be suicide, as the 5cm big box jellyfish are absolutely deathly.
And as everyone can probably imagine, under water even the tiniest sharks seemed gigantic to us!Consequently, Australians have long lost that desire to bathe and take a swim we all know and love.

A bit under the weather

We all need a helping hand sometimes
It's fair to say that Robin is a very keen Four Wheel driver, always ready to hook up and drag some poor unfortunate car driver out of a sticky situation. But we were the ones needing a helping hand this time. We spent five days with family on their small holding. The rain kept falling, the grounds were saturated and the whole area was one big mud bath. No such niceties as concrete paths or a gravel driveway where we were staying. The only thing on offer was mud and well churned up pasture.
On the morning of our departure Robin admitted that our 4WD just wouldn't get traction to tow the caravan off site and conceded defeat. Son-in-law Robert was only too pleased to get out his large 4WD tractor and help us out of a sticky situation. What is it with men and their big machines? He backed his tractor up to the front of our caravan – but there was a problem. The tow ball on the tractor was about 15in higher than the coupling on the caravan. What happens now?
The tow couplings don't meet up
Easy – Robert checked out his wood pile and came back with a big log. This was placed under the draw bar for support. Winding the jockey wheel up other various lengths of timber were slotted here and there. Thank goodness, the connection is made.
Fixing the problem, country style
Robert climbed into the cab of his tractor, gave the accelerator a few revs, and our caravan was slowly pulled free of the sticky mud.
Then it was just a matter of reversing all the steps, keeping the draw bar support while the coupling was wound back down. I don't know which of the two fellows had the most fun!
With our car hitched up to the caravan it was time to go. One last thing to do, and that was to move our cat Muffy from the caravan, and hook her lead up in the back seat of the car. With all the movement and loud noises going on, I expected her to be rather agitated. But no – on opening the caravan door there she was, she wasn't running around demanding to be let out. She was still curled up fast asleep on the couch, and blissfully unaware of all the drama that had been unfolding.

How to stop Vivaldi being default browser
I said yes to the prompt to make vivaldi my default browser (windows 7). I have changed my mind and want to switch back. How do I de-default vivaldi?
I said yes to the prompt to make vivaldi my default browser (windows 7). I have changed my mind and want to switch back. How do I de-default vivaldi?
Start up whatever browser you DO want to be the default, and tell IT to make itself default.
You can also choose the program in Windows Settings, Default Apps.
Thank you for your responses. It's a work computer and generally over-rides any request to make any browser default, locking it down to IE only. Neither Chrome nor FF "stick" as default on request, but somehow Vivaldi got under the hood.
Trying to change to other browsers (including IE) didn't work in-browser, while the "set default" options in Windows are not available, because disabled.
Would be better if there was a "Make default" check box in Vivaldi that could be unchecked (if there is one, I couldn't find it).
Anyway, I had to uninstall Vivaldi and indicate a new default browser as part of that process via control panel.
If there is an option in Vivaldi, I'd like to know
Well, you can check the checkbox on the Settings/Startup category that says "Check on Startup" and perhaps it will let you "uncheck" the "make default" box. If so, it may default to IE. I've never tried this, but am firing up my Win7 box to see what happens.
Edit: Nope. Doesn't do anything. Surely you can open IE and make it "stick?"
Of course, you can simply uninstall Vivaldi, let the system pick a new default, and then reinstall Vivaldi and this time don't let it become default.
If your systems are as locked down as you say, are you sure you should be installing software at all?
Thank you again.
I uninstalled Vivaldi, and made IE the default browser using the uninstall panel in control panels. I then reinstalled Vivaldi and, without me asking it to, it made itself my default browser again, and I was back where I started.
It looks like the way it is interacting with windows is not very transparent or manageable.
Unless there is a way of de-coupling the browser from being default, I guess it's uninstall for good…
Shame, the browser has some good features.
That is not Vivaldi doing that. It's something on your system. It can't, under any normal circumstance assign itself default status. But, I'm not your IT admin, so there's little I can do about it.
OK, thanks.
I think the issue lies in the way Vivaldi assigns itself as default in the first instance. That's just a guess though - but it does seem to me that if a browser allows you to select "make default" it should also allow you to de-select "make default ". Just a comment - no need to reply.
And thanks again.

Here are the cartoons I've drawn since the last blog update.
There are new if seemingly unfair water restrictions in Tampa in the wake of a drought.
This cartoon is absolutely disgusting. I love it.
I'm always surprised to find out that there are people out there who just absolutely hate wind power. I think some of them would rather live next to the stack a coal power plant, just to spite liberals. Incidentally the power company complained the Wisconsin State Journal's editor about being single out in this cartoon, even though I'm sympathetic to them.
All the words in this cartoon leave nothing to be explained.
Enjoy the sunshine on government while it (newspaper) lasts.

The Armed Conflict Resolution and People's Rights Project (ACRes) is moving to the Center for Race and Gender at UC Berkeley. The project has been with the Center for Social Sector Leadership (CSSL) at Berkeley-Haas since it was instituted in April 2012. Along with the move, the project will also take on a new name and focus; it will be called the "Political Conflict, Gender and People's Rights Project."
The Center for Race and Gender (CRG) is the new home for the project effective January, 2016, with the full and enthusiastic support of CSSL and CRG. The move will further enable the interdisciplinary commitments of the project in the next phase of its work. A pioneering, interdisciplinary research center, CRG houses research initiatives and working groups concerned with race and gender (as well as coloniality and other relations of power), allowing them to develop freely and flourish.
The first and successful phase of ACRes, led by founding co-chairs Professor Angana P. Chatterji and Professor Shashi Buluswar, and director of programs, Mallika Kaur, included project partnerships with civil society organizations in the areas of focus in South Asia, and with the International Human Rights Law Clinic (IHRLC) at Berkeley Law, and both the Institute for the Study of Human Rights (ISHR) and the Center for Human Rights Documentation and Research (CHRDR) at Columbia University. The project produced a collaboratively authored monograph entitled, Conflicted Democracies and Gendered Violence: The Right to Heal, with a statement/preface by Navanethem Pillay, United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (2008-2014) and a foreword by Veena Das, Krieger-Eisenhower Professor of Anthropology at Johns Hopkins University. The project co-produced a co-authored a report with IHRLC entitled, Access to Justice for Women: India's Response to Sexual Violence in Conflict and Social Upheaval [PDF]. The project also initiated an archive on the legacy of conflict.
The Political Conflict, Gender and People's Rights Project will focus on political conflict and gendered and sexualized violence at the intersections of minoritization, majoritarianism, the racialization of difference, and decolonial movements. Interdisciplinary in practice and rooted in local knowledge, the project contends with the condition of quotidian and protracted violence and the contested terrain of social justice and people's rights, to understand how those affected/those "Othered" can:
- live with death-bound conditions and social suffering and ameliorate their effects,
- define mechanisms for transitional, transformative, and reparatory justice,
- seek psychosocial healing and political solutions, and
- undertake the work of memorialization.
Expanding on methods in justice and accountability, the project works with a collaborative network of victimized-survivor-subjects, scholars, and academic and civil society leaders and institutions. Sociologist and Gender Studies scholar Professor Paola Bacchetta and Anthropologist and scholar of Gender and Political Conflict, Professor Angana P. Chatterji, co-chair the project, which focuses on the centrality of political and foundational violence in nation-states of the (post)colony, initially with particular emphasis on South Asia.
The project provides internship opportunities for exceptional graduate students and select undergraduate students from UC Berkeley and other institutions, and from local communities.

Find the Best Plan in Your Area
Find The Right Dentist For You
The year is coming to a close, and many people are beginning to come up with New Year's resolutions. The California Dental Association recently released a statement encouraging people to add "improving oral health" to their list of goals for 2012. According to the organization, focusing on dental care is something that is important from the whole family, and people of all ages.
Lindsey Robinson, D.D.S., reminded people that brushing, flossing and visiting the dentist regularly are three simple ways to help ensure oral health. She recommended introducing children to healthy dental habits at a young age to encourage a lifetime of proper care.
Next, she dentist said that diet can play a major role in both dental and overall health.
"And try to limit the number of between-meal snacks. When you do reach for a snack, choose low-sugar, nutrient-rich foods, like raw fruits and vegetables, milk, cheese or plain yogurt," said Robinson.
The National Center for Biotechnology Information states that eating too much sugar, starch and other unhealthy foods has been found to be the cause of tooth decay.

Question: I entered the wrong donor name in an already loaded batch. How do I correct this without having to delete and re-enter the entire batch?
Answer: The batch does not have to be re-entered. There is an adjustment type called Transfer that allows you to move a contribution from one record to another without any implications on the FEC report.
- Find the contribution you want to edit by either using the Search functionality in the People menu and then opening the money record or by using the Search functionality in the Money
- Open the gift and click . The Adjustment drop-down and Adjustment Date fields will appear.
- From the adjustment drop-down menu, select TR - Transfer.
- The Adjustment Date will automatically be filled with the current date. Be sure to edit this using the original batch date (not today's date, unless they're the same).
- Then search for the people record (by either the ID or first and last name) that you intended to key/import the gift to using the Quick Search.
- Once you've selected the correct record, click Apply to finalize the transfer.
**Please note: If the correct record isn't in Crimson yet, be sure to create the new record before starting the adjustment process. Please refer to the Add a New Record solution on the HelpDesk.

Great DVD collection with three bonuses. All Who fans need t
bass boy | Arkansas | 11/27/2006
(5 out of 5 stars)
"Wow, I can't believe there aren't any customer reviews for this yet, and it's been out almost one week. Great DVD comp, which basically is the 1988 VHS tape "Who's Better Who's Best" and adds three bonus videos from the Kenney Jones era - 1981's "Don't Let Go The Coat" and "Another Tricky Day," followed by the late 1982 souncheck video for "Eminence Front." "Don't Let Go .." looks great, although "Tricky Day" looks a little worn. These are probably the best these videos are going to look, particularly the old videotape sources from the 1960s when Moonie was behind (and on top of) the drum kit. It's cool to have pretty much all the Kenney Jones-era films, plus many of the Moon years. Sound is very very good, and there is an awesome "jukebox" feature that allows you to pick what order the videos run (chronilogical fans will be happy). Although the three bonus tracks are listed on the menu as "bonuses," they do play in order after the main attraction, if you watch the main attraction first. A great buy. Long live The Who ..."
Abundant Energy
Kurt Harding | Boerne TX | 12/13/2006
(4 out of 5 stars)
"I have never been a rabid Who fan but have always at least enjoyed their music. And so I picked this up on the spur of the moment at a "special price" when I saw it on a display at a national book and music chain while holiday shopping. As it turns out, I should have ordered it here for a better price, but oh well.
Who's Better, Who's Best is a rather primitive collection of video clips of The Who performing some of their best known songs in various venues at different periods in their career. These videos, some quite amusing, others quite electrifying span almost two decades from 1964 to 1982. On these, you can witness the development of the band as a performing unit and the abundant energy which made them one of the most acclaimed live acts in the world. After viewing this DVD several times, I certainly came away with a greater appreciation for The Who, both as performers and as songsmiths. Just watch and see how manic they are even in the early days, particularly drummer Keith Moon and guitarist Pete Townshend.
Viewers are treated to a generous twenty different songs. Some of my favorite Who songs come alive here:Substitute, The Kids Are Alright, I Can See For Miles, Pinball Wizard, I'm Free, a raucous Won't Get Fooled Again, Another Tricky Day, and a driving Eminence Front.
There is a disclaimer on sound and video quality in the liner notes following the song list. To me, it is OK because I expect archived material to have some flaws. What drops a star from my rating is how several of the songs are truncated right at the point where they start to gain traction. This is particularly annoying where Townshend is cut off right as he begins to play the part in I Can See For Miles that makes it such a great song.
That complaint aside, I recommend this DVD not just to fans of The Who, but to anyone who loves great rock and roll. You'll see here just why the band has the kind of timeless appeal that still resonates with the young today!"
Not a complete replacement for original releases
Philip A.Cohen | Bay Harbor Islands, Florida United States | 02/12/2009
(2 out of 5 stars)
"Originally, in 1988, this program was released on VHS videocassette and(with 5 bonus tracks) on Laserdisc. Unfortunately, this re-compiled DVD, which omits a few songs from the group's heyday, then adds a few songs from the Kenney Jones years, does not fully replace the original releases.
Apparently there were licensing problems this time. It's not a big deal that the compilers of this DVD could only use one song from Shepperton 1978, and opted to omit "Baba O'Reilly", since that performance of "Baba O'Reilly" is easily available elsewhere on DVD(On "The Kids Are Alright")
The most irritating thing about this DVD is what happened to "I Can See For Miles". The song, as seen on the original VHS & Laserdisc releases of this program, is a composite of a Smothers Brothers show T.V. performance(for the first half of the song), and some offstage footage for the second half of the song. Apparently legal problems have developed over the use of that offstage footage, and so, rather than give us the Smothers Brothers footage of the entire song, "I Can See For Miles" abruptly cuts off during the guitar solo.
And furthermore, several of The Laserdisc bonus tracks ("5:15" & "Relay") are also omitted. This disc is a bitter disappointment. Universal music is counting on the idea that many younger consumers don't own the original releases,and won't know what's missing.
By the way, the original uncut Laserdisc program(with the 5 bonus tracks) can be had on a technically legal Brazilian DVD, simply titled "The Who", which can be found here on Amazon.com
And expect more disappointment from Universal Music's upcoming(March 2009) 2-DVD reissue of "The Who-30 Years of Maximum R&B", where, despite the addition of an entire second disc of previously unreleased material(a 1979 concert in Germany), the main disc won't be a complete reissue of the original VHS & Laserdisc program(the 3 Live at Tanglewood 1970 tracks will be omitted due to legal problems).Even a 6-month postponement from the intended fall 2008 release date did not resolve this problem, since ownership of the Tanglewood footage changed over the years, and the present-day owner refuses to license it. In short, the lawyers win and the fans lose."
One word: Wow
Julie A Ross | Pleasant Hill, CA United States | 07/22/2005
(5 out of 5 stars)
"I love this video. It is a collection of promo films and live performances, all of which are very good. Highlights include the live performance of "Magic Bus" (which if you ask me, is 10 times better than the studio version), the in-studio promo of "Who Are You" and a great live rendition of "Won't Get Fooled Again." There is great stuff on this video and any Who fan will be very pleased to have it."

text: I was surprised to learn that the huqin is not just one instrument, but an entire family of string instruments from China. There are several varieties of these instruments, including the banhu, the gaohu, the jinghu, and the zhonghu. I've heard these instruments referred to as the "Chinese violin" but I get the sense while listening to them that their sound is unique from the violin, and very beautiful.

Understanding "Nontraditional" Student Experiences in and out of U-M classrooms (panel conversation)
This panel conversation will feature commentary and resources from individuals across the university who support the success of students with a diverse range of identities, backgrounds and experiences that may not be readily visible. This includes student parents, veterans, first generation, transfers, and those in recovery from substance abuse. Our goal is to provide instructors with a deeper understanding of how these students experience university life in and out of the classroom in order to inform their own teaching. The audience will have the opportunities to participate in a Q&A with these experts and walk away with concrete ideas for supporting the diverse needs of these students.
Panelists include:
- Kirsten Elling, Center for the Education of Women
- Eric Fretz, U-M Student Veterans Association
- Harold Waters, Comprehensive Studies Program
- Matt Statman, Collegiate Recovery Program
Moderated by Tazin Daniels, CRLT
This session is part of the Inclusive Teaching @ Michigan series. Please see the full listing of series events here.

UPDATE: Obama DHS Says They Won't Track Missing Syrian Refugee Because of His "Constitutional Rights"
Guest post by John Binder
Liberals continue to tell us the "vetting process" for refugees is under control. They insist the federal government is monitoring every Syrian once they make it to America.
But, of course, that's a total fallacy.
Earlier this week a Syrian refugee went missing in Louisiana. The refugee was in the process of resettling in the Baton Rouge area when he went missing.
As The Hayride reported, there are seven Syrian refugees in Kenner, Louisiana and six more were sent to the New Orleans area. Louisiana state officials heard about the missing Syrian refugee from the media, and not the Obama administration.
Now this…
The Syrian refugee is still missing despite earlier claims. He is suspected to be in the Washington DC area but did not "check in" with authorities there. But federal authorities told The Hayride they do not know where the man went.
Authorities also said they could not keep up with the refugee because of his "constitutional rights."
Via The Hayride:
A Syrian refugee that had shortly resettled in Baton Rouge, Louisiana is apparently not being monitored by the Department of Homeland Security, as state officials had originally assumed.
Earlier in the week, the Hayride reported on a "missing" Syrian refugee that had apparently left the Baton Rouge area. Then, the Louisiana State Police confirmed that the refugee was headed to Washington DC to resettle with family in the country's capitol.
Once in Washington DC, the refugee was apparently supposed to "check in" with authorities there, according to state officials.
However, Sen. David Vitter (R-LA), who has been on top of the issue ever since, said he spoke with the Department of Homeland Security today and they confirmed to him that they do not, in fact, know where the refugee is.
Homeland Security say they have no information on where the Syrian refugee is. Also, they said the refugee could not be "kept up with" because of his constitutional rights, according to a spokesman for Vitter.

As always the hop was fun and inspiring. I have a question that perhaps someone could answer.
Are the smaller dies compatible with the old red Sizzix machine? The machine I have takes a small acrylic plate and has a magnetic adapter plate for thin dies. It is operated by a lever. Some have speculated that this machine might cut small Spellbinders with the right sandwich, but no one has ever been able to explain what that might be.
I would love to have some of the stamps with coordinating dies, but have only used the stamps alone due to my uncertainty about their compatibility with my machine.

Have been putting off writing this post for the longest time, because I was too busy trying to think about how I should format my 2011 resolutions as opposed to actually penning them down.
The same could be said for many of my other posts (that I've constructed in my head, but never materialized) because of the 'logistical' challenges such picture editing etc. Too often I've created a picture of how it should be like in my head, so much so that if I'm not able to replicate that here, I rather not do it at all. That is one of the many reasons for the prevalent silence in this space.
Looking back in 2010, I've created a measly eight posts here.
And that's really depressing because it makes me feel like my life in 2010 has just slipped by into…emptiness. Although I know that's not the case, because if I really took the time to reflect, I'll recollect events which have brought much joy, laughter, fun and love. I'm just annoyed that I didn't write them down somewhere – What if these memories start to fade away? What if I forgot the feelings associated with those times?
So this year, I shall strive to be more spontaneous in my writing.
Write when I feel like it, and no, the post doesn't have to be picture perfect with that picture in a precise 0.2cm white and black border with a watermark that's placed suitably 0.5cm away from the borders.
Here goes the first of 2011 resolutions.

Jim Brown to Be Honored by Browns with Statue at FirstEnergy StadiumFebruary 17, 2016
The Cleveland Browns announced Wednesday that legendary running back Jim Brown will have a statue constructed in his honor outside of the team's home, FirstEnergy Stadium.
New head coach Hue Jackson mentioned Tuesday he'll rely on Brown's wisdom as he tries to turn Cleveland around from its losing ways, per Cleveland.com's Mary Kay Cabot.
"It humbles me to be honored in this manner," said Brown. "Dee and Jimmy Haslam, thank you for the respect and love. Your investment in Cleveland is unparalleled. To the fans of the Cleveland Browns, I guess I'll always be with you—thank you."
Team owner Jimmy Haslam and his wife, Dee, also released a joint statement within the Browns' official news release:
Everyone admires the incredible impact that Jim Brown has made for Cleveland, the Browns and the NFL throughout his lifetime, and we have had the special opportunity to know and learn from his contributions to our team on a personal level, as well. It is only fitting that one of the most iconic professional football players and members of Cleveland and the Browns is commemorated with this statue as he will always be such a permanent fixture in our city.
Brown has served as a special adviser to the team since 2013 and is celebrating his 80th birthday Wednesday. NFL Network will honor him with a special program Wednesday evening beginning at 8 p.m. ET.
Happy 80th Birthday to @ProFootballHOF and @Browns legend @JimBrownNFL32! https://t.co/zhGg6Q7Z7W
During nine seasons for Cleveland from 1957 through 1965, Brown put up monster numbers with 12,312 yards rushing and 106 touchdowns to go with 262 receptions, 2,499 yards and 20 more scores.
Seasons were only 12 games through Brown's first four years and were lengthened to 14 contests to the conclusion of his playing days. That goes to show how impressive it is for Brown to be ninth on the all-time NFL rushing list.
As the Browns attempt to change a culture that's created a poor on-field product, perpetual regime change and fan discontentment since the franchise's return to the NFL in 1999, they're doing well to associate with the organization's generational talent.
Brown is a beacon of hope from Cleveland's gridiron glory days, helping the city to its last major sports championship in 1964. His statue will serve as a steady reminder of the heights the Browns once reached as they seek to bring a spark to Cleveland as Brown's teams once did.

Using crisp imagery, upfront nutritional information and a consistent design, the new packaging is the result of extensive consumer research and ample designs from Murray Brand Communications.
Explaining the shift to the new Unified Grocers 'Springfield' store brand packaging, Executive Director of Market, JoAnn Murdock, said: "We have a terrific partnership with Murray Brand. We've been impressed by their extensive research-based approach and outstanding creativity and design execution throughout the entire Springfield brand refresh process.

The Southern Cross 6 January 1866
The British barque Ballarat, Captain Allan, arrived in harbour early yesterday morning from London, 103 days out, with a large cargo of general merchandise and 67 passengers, amongst whom are a number of agriculturists, farm servants and artizans. The Ballarat left London on the 20th September, and parted pilot three days afterwards. Lost sight of land the same day (23rd September) and experienced find light winds and beautiful weather. Sighted the coast of Madeira and the Canary Islands, and arrived at the meridian of the equator on the 45th day out, in long. 28° W. Ran down easting in 47° S and saw several icebergs, although escaping any danger to be feared through their proximity. The only vessel spoken during the passage was shortly before reaching Bass's Straits, when she spoke the British ship Orwell, bound from London to Sydney. The Ballarat made the passage through Bass's Straits and sighted the Three Kings on the 2nd instant, after experiencing a succession of fine light winds and calm weather throughout the voyage; high light variable winds along the coast, arriving in harbour early yesterday morning, after a pleasant passage of 104 days.
The Ballarat brings an addition to our population of 67 souls, which comprise a number of useful agriculturists, farm servants and skilled artizans. She also brings an old colonist in person of Mr John Finlay, who, accompanied by his wife and some members of his family, has been on a visit to England and returns after a brief absence. The immigrants have arrived in good health, in medical charge of Mr John Batteson, surgeon-superintendent on board.
On the 9th October a steerage passenger, named George Milnes, aged 46 years, died of heart disease, after a brief illness. There were no other deaths and no births, during the passage.
The Ballarat is one of the neatest and cleanest looking barques which has visited this port, and has made, considering the very light winds she encountered, a fair passage from London, beating the two previous arrivals by many days. The present is the first visit of the Ballarat to this port, her commander having formerly visited the colony in command of the well-known ship John Bunyan. The Ballarat last year visited Wellington, with passengers and cargo, and was originally intended to fill up for that port this year, when she was taken off the berth and placed on the Auckland trade. She will be laid on this port for London direct immediately upon discharge of inward cargo, and expects to be freighted with wool and gum.

From April 11, 2013 episode of Sungdong Cafe^^
【HEE DJ'S comeback – SS5?】Originally I told the company why not wait for Teuk to discharge next year before we make a comeback together, but the members all encouraged me to make my comeback during this concert, luckily the members still likes me. Because if we are not doing the concert I won't have the chance to meet oversea fans, so I must start dieting, I must lose at least 4-5 kg~
【Hee DJ talks about fans】I often say although everybody like me, they shouldn't affect their future for me, I can't account for all your future, but I realise as I say this, I lost half of my fans. But I didn't regret it. There are fans who report their lastest news to me, I'm especially happy seeing how everybody is living well, accomplished achievments, although I'm not the one who…
