It took about 20 seconds to destroy the 12-story, 200-room building on Feb. 10, 2015 shortly before 3 a.m, but not its notable history. After originally opening in 1970 as the Royal Inn, the Clarion Hotel closed on Sept. 2, 2014, when Las Vegas developer Lorenzo Doumani bought the six-acre property for $22.5 million in October. In the Clarion’s place at 305 Convention Center Drive, and in the shadow of the Riviera and Encore hotel-casinos, will be a towering mixed-use resort designed to appeal to convention-goers, according to Doumani.
The home previously was owned by Katy Perry and Russell Brand, who paid $6.5 million for the property in 2011, only to divorce a year later. Doumani paid $5.6 million for the estate, but for the past three months has been toggling his time between L.A. and Las Vegas overseeing a massive refurbishment of the home. The structure needs to be reinforced to prevent it from sliding down the hillside on which it sits.
Doumani is familiar with major real estate transactions. His father, Ed, was the original owner of La Concha on the Strip, the lobby of which now is the entrance to the Neon Museum. Lorenzo Doumani owns the parcel on which the Peppermill restaurant sits, and he is the former head of Majestic Resorts, which in 2007 sold 5.4 acres between the Peppermill and Riviera for $180 million.
But here is where we slide in a healthy measure of skepticism: We’ll be excited when cranes and shovels hit that property. The catch is, the future and timeline of Doumani’s resort depend on two significant projects: Genting Berhad’s Resorts World Las Vegas and a plannebest time frame for the new resort to open is the summer of 2018, Doumani said, but expect fluidity throughout the project’s development.
You might think imploding a Las Vegas resort is not child’s play. But in the Doumani family, it is.
Doumani is now the sole owner of that property, paying cash for the old building that opened as the Royal Inn in 1980 and that was owned by Reynolds in the 1990s before tumbling into bankruptcy.
In the end, the project will reflect Doumani’s brimming-with-magnanimity disposition and ample wealth.
If nothing else, it is the front-runner. Check in after the implosion.

As I walked around the perimeter of the park beneath the pink canopy created by the blossoms, I thought about the PASSING NATURE OF ALL THINGS (MUJO,无常）， which these short lived flowers represent. And though the delicate petals would all be gone in a few days, I knew that they would be back……
It is sad that this year's hanami won't be as joyful and attended as usual. I hope the next one will be great !

With BandOfAmerica card, I can visit museums for free at 1st weekend every month. I’ve made a google map pinpointing these museums.
For details of this Museums on Us® program from BankOfAmerica, check here.
I’ve located all those museums up to 06/03/2015 in my customed google map. Since google maps seems to allow 10 layers only, I divided museums according to regions instead of states. Those regions are from google search results, forgive me if I am wrong in any of them (and thanks for telling me :D).
11/30/2016 Update: I found that an official map website has been set up by BoA, finally!! Thus my old map becomes stale and useless.. 🙂
I’ve also made a map locating all national parks in US before (may not include all recreational area or things of the sort). Check that out as well if you are interested.

More than 500 asylum seekers are being crammed into a budget 98-room hotel for four months.
The Home Office has signed a four month deal to block book every room at the Euro Queen’s Hotel in Crystal Palace, south east London.
Meanwhile they have applied for planning permission to extend a neighbouring property to create another 24 rooms to cash in further on the lucrative arrangement.
Others have endured months of hardship travelling to the UK from Syria and Libya.
One resident told The Mirror how he had travelled from war torn Sudan for five months before reaching the UK in August.
“Sometimes we sit in the room or walk to the park but not for long. We have all been told we are to wait here until we get our papers then we will get a place to live but we do not know when that will be.”
However, local residents are in uproar after being kept in the dark over the deal.
Locals claim minibuses full of migrants have dropped off hundreds of asylum seekers in the last two weeks.
The hotel, which has been newly refurbished after being taken over earlier this year, boasts “a number of first class prestigious rooms on offer that ”.
But Elsie Patterson, 75, who lives in flats opposite the opulent hotel said local residents were “outraged” after discovering the asylum seekers were living in the hotel.
She said: “It beggars belief. People are struggling to make ends meet and there are people living in the hotel for nothing.
Inspectors found one of the buildings had 500 people sleeping in it, while another, which is supposed to accommodate up to 68, had 100 people in it.
He wants the Immigration Minister to meet with him and his neighbouring MP Jim Dowd to discuss the concerns.
Mr Reed said: “This is not about race or ill feeling. My constituents are decent welcoming people but they have a right to know about this development.
A spokesman for Croydon Council said: ce.
“We have ensured that the numbers in accommodation at this location meet appropriate requirements.”
The Home Office denied taxpayers would be forced to foot the bill for the asylum seekers’ stay.

Nowadays, a lot of people have a very busy daily schedule that they follow. Everyone that has a busy schedule surely experiences a lot of stress everyday. Whether you realize it or not, stress can have a really negative effect on your body. That is why today, it is very important for people to make sure that they find some ways to relieve their stress. Everyone who lives a stressful life shouldn’t over stress their bodies because a lot of bad things can happen to them. If you are someone who has a really stressful job, you might be wondering what you can do to remove some stress. Everyone who wants this will be happy to know that there are plenty of tips that they can follow to reduce the stress in their workplace. Right now, we are going to have a quick look at some of the many ways that people can really help relieve the stress from their bodies in their workplace.
Everyone who is working in a very stressful job needs to make sure that they get some break time every once in a while. If people have little break time, they should just sit back and breath steadily for a few seconds. You should certainly learn how to do yogic breathing, because this will greatly help you reduce your stress. It is amazing how something so small like controlled breathing can really remove the negative effects of stress in your body.
But sometimes, simple breathing exercises are not enough for some people. CBD oil is a very effective way to remove stress from your body. And even though CBD Oil does come from the same source as marijuana, it doesn’t make you high or anything. And that is why plenty of people are taking CBD oil today to relieve them of their stress.
Today, there are a lot of people who are addicted to coffee. Everyone who loves coffee though should make sure they don’t drink too much, because caffeine is very well known to make people feel very tired. Everyone that takes in too much caffeine will also be very stressed. That is why people who drink a lot of coffee everyday should certainly learn how to control their coffee intake. Everyone that cuts on caffeine will find that they will have more energy and less stress in their bodies.
You might not realize this, but lack of water is also something that can make you really stressed. And that is why everyone should drink proper amounts of water daily.

“This Thursday evening, we will take stock of the year 2021 and assess the prospects for 2022 with Yves Van Laethem, we will religiously listen to Madame Rigide take stock of the health situation in schools, and we will celebrate Molière’s 400th birthday! “, announces the RTBF about the re-entry of the Grand Cactus 2022 in virtual public (Covid requires). A show that had fun parodying Delphine Boël during her last show in 2021 (and her stint in Dance with the stars in Flanders) but also several times before that since it was recognized in January 2020 by King Albert II. Small overview.
“Delphine Boël is our last royal birth”, began her cactus Jérôme de Warzée in her show at the beginning of December (still visible on Auvio) to evoke her time in Dance with the stars (“the good news is that when she dances, she does not paint”). “Born in 1968, it is therefore a gestation as long as a female elephant. Normal, it refers to one word: the trunk!” The tone is set. Even more when the comedian evokes Delphine’s mother, Sybille de Sélys Longchamps who “apparently had the bean every year when it came to pulling the kings.” Delphine having been recognized by her father King Albert II in January 2020, the gang leader therefore balances that “it took 51 years for Albert to recognize that she had gone from his chicory to his gratin”.

Living wills are not always legally recognized in this state, which is why it’s essential to go through a few extra steps. That’s the only way t in the future if you’re unable to speak for yourself.
What’s a health care proxy?
Often called advanced medical directives, the health care proxy is the documentation that outlines your health care wishes. This includes things like whether you want intravenous nutrition and hydration if you’re otherwise unresponsive. It may also include things like a “Do Not Resuscitate” order. The paperwork may also include thinguthorizations for your health care agent (so that they can access your medical records without any restrictions).
What’s a health care agent?
Your health care agent is the person you’ve chosen to direct your medical care should you be unable to do so on your own. This person is identified in your health care proxy papers. They may need to make decisions that are not covered in your health care proxy and authorize medical procedures, your transfer to a nursing facility and more.

Here’s my incredibly easy every day routine to ensure I am clean, moisturized and glowing (not sure what happened and why I’m in a cropped box and somewhat overexposed…I can’t figure out what went wrong?
Olive Oil: $24.91 <<<this is the exact container of olive oil we buy at Costco. It will last you forever!
Total Cost: $88.06 <<<even if you used every product listed above everyday, I think it’s safe to assume that you could last at least 2.5 months before needing to reorder. That mean’s you’re spending $35/month for ultra clean (no toxins!) skincare and your skin will probably be less prone to breakouts and better moisturized than it’s ever been before. Win-win!

We g. Peter, James and John were men like this. Now, there is a work for us to do, but first, there is a work to be done in us.
Jesus’ actions are a reminder that we don’t feed Him, He feeds us, and that really is the point. But it’s one thing to come to Jesus smiling and singing with our head held high.
In order to fulfil his mission, Peter, like his spiritual father Jonah, needed to be restored. He needed to be clothed, washed and fed. Love covers a multitude of sins and that is what Jesus has done for Peter here and that is what we are called to do to one another. Jesus never returns to Peter’s sin. Instead, the conversation moves from Peter’s restoration to Peter’s missionhen tells Peter three times to feed the Lord’s lambs.
That’s what is happening week by week and moment by moment as we come to Jesus for our daily bread. Troubled hearts are given rest and God reaffirms His love for us.
But this post-resurrection breakfast by the sea with Peter didn’t end with a merciful meal and the same is true of us. We are not among those children who emerge from a cluttered bedroom, grab a bite to eat and then return to our clutter until the next meal.
Thank you David. So encouraging!

Irons and Feasts--CHRISTMAS 2014
We had
The same is true in life. We all know that we're going to have trials and hard times--the almost unbearable heat of Life's Iron. But when we add the Water of Life--even Jesus Christ--our trials take on a very different nature. They still exist, to be sure, but they're different. They're not there just to make us miserable or destroy us--they're there to refine us and iron us out. With that Water present, the heat seems to be magnified, but the resulting steam enables us to smoothed out. It enables those trials to flow by quicker. It allows us to see that there is actually a reason for Life's Iron. It's not just something to heat things up--it's something that's meant to make us better.
Thanks to Christ, we have purpose in life and we find purpose in trials. Do I like trials? Not one bit. But do I know why I have them? Or rather, do I know why I need to have them? Yes. I know that they're there to help me be better. Thanks to Christ, they're not permanent. They're not fatal. They're refiner's fires, the irons of life that mend and make us. Thanks to Christmas, we have Christ, and thanks to Christ, we have everything else :)
I love you all so much and hope that you had a magnificently great and grand Christmas! Keep on keeping on! Happy New Year! :)
God is Not Dead, Nor Doth He Sleep
Another Zone Conference week has come and gone. This past week has been so good spiritually, but man, it sure has done a number on my physical self. I've been combatting a return of foot fungus as well as a nasty little head-cold, but ne'er you fret! The work of God continues to roll forth!
At Zone Conference this past week we learned about how to work better with members-we are on the SAME team, after all--and then we also learned about the love of God, as exemplified in Chris some time and watch #SharetheGift that the Church just barely came out with a week or two ago. So good! It gives me the chills every time that I watch it :) As I've reflected on the birth of my Savior this past week, I've been able to really think about His love for me and for all of humanity. He really just wants us to come back and live with Him again. He's always offering us the opportunity to make covenants and promises with Him. What's the point of these? To bind us closer to Him, to inspire us to aspire to celestial heights, and to help enable us to become more and more like Him each and every day :) He lives--He was born in mean estate, He lived a simple but humble life, He died on a cruel cross, but now, RIGHT NOW, He lives again! The bonds of death have been snapped; the chains that would encircle the world have been severed! As the words of one of my all-time favorite Christmas hymns says, "God is NOT DEADn earth, GOOD WILL to men." ("I Heard The Bells on Christmas Day", Hymn No. 214, emphasis added). How have you seen Him active in your own life? How have you felt His hand touching, leading, guiding, and influencing you? He's so real, and He's so amazing! The fact that He loves us enough to have been born, lived, and died for us is remarkable in and of itself; but now He lives for us again! He's not going to stop loving us, and He will always been working with us, until that perfect day when we are like Him. I know that's true :)
For now I bid you a wonderful rest of the day and week! I love y'all lots!
p.s. We went to Zone Conference this week. Look what I found....The caption for the second pic is "'Nuff Said" :)
Where is the Love? What's the Matter with the World, Mama?:):)
Hello Errbody!
These past few weeks have gone by quick! Thanksgiving was wonderful, and Christmas is coming! HOORAY FOR CHRISTMAS! :) And when we're filled with the Spirit of Christmas, we're living the most wonderful life :) So today I want to quickly share a quick thought with you from yesterday.
We met with a recent convert and her family yesterday at the church to talk about the Importance of the Family. It was the perfect lesson for her--she has a husband that's super controlling, and that essentially is very restrictive of what she and her kids can do. She let off some steam with us, and made mention multiple times how she doesn't love him and how she doesn't want to be anywhere near him. It was sad, but really enlightening. We left her with the commitment to fast and pray and seek for opportunities to develop charity for her husband. Hopefully she'll take our challenge to heart and rely upon the power of the Atonement to be able to love her husband the way that Christ loves him.
This encounter brought tears to my eyes--the point behind families is to be happy and find joy in this life. It's helped me see what type of man and future husband I'd like to be, as well as help me appreciate all the more my own father for the wonderful example he's given to me and for the love that he's shown to us kids and our mom. I know that families truly can be forever, if we will put in the work and effort, the tears and the love, that the Lord asks of us. Everything will work out in the end, as we hold on to each other and on to the Lord. whose simple teachings and sayings truly are the pathway and guidelines for this life. If we'll simply learn to love and to forgive, to have faith and to repent, to remain true in hard times--these things will surely carry us out of life's hard times and help us truly magnify the sunshine days that God has planned for us. Sure, it's super hard, but it's also worth it. Courage, then, and on, on to the victory! :)
I love you all! Keep on keeping on!...

And the partial pressure tells you the likelihood of going into a liquid.
We think you have liked this presentation. What is the solvent? So I’ve got a new number here and determine the mass of ethylene glycol in 1. Raoult’s Law may be adapted to non-ideal solutions by incorporating two factors that account for the interactions between molecules of different substances. U keyrauolt.. So if you are looking now– let’s go back to this person that’s been very patiently observing. I figured it out.
And you’d probably observe it more often if you actually have more green molecules. If he entered the liquid phase, he could also just re-enter the gas phase. Begin by calculating the amount in moles of sucrose and water. If you’re looking at this surface layer, you can actually do a good job of checking how many molecules are entering, how many molecules are exiting, and you can now calculate a concentration of the molecule in the surface layer.
And I’m going to draw some hydrogens as well. And the reason I actually went through that is because I wanted to show you a way of thinking about partial pressure, which is that if the number of molecules in a group of molecules– if the proportion goes up– then really that’s another way of saying the partial pressure has gone up. A law. They want to actually get out of the liquid because the liquid is a little stifl this is the partial pressure of the green a ” salting in ” effect has also been observed, for example for the effective Henry’s law constant of glyoxal.
Tolute. The vapor pressure of th Henry’s law. This is my new partial pressure. And finally, what temperature are we talking about?
If a non-volatile solute zero vapor pressure, does not evaporate is dissolved into a solvent to form an ideal solution, the vapor pressure of the final solution will be lower than that of the solvent.
Assuming also that the vapor mixture acts as an ideal gas, it is then possible to re-derive Raoult’s law as follows. Then use the molality you just found to determine how many moles of ethylene glycol are needed per kilogram of water.
And the liquid I’m going to use is H2O, or wu might see p equals concentration times K with the little h. Thus the total pressure above the solution of A and B would be. By lwcrease in vapor. When the temperature of a system changes, the ,ey constant also changesssuming ideal behavior, calculate the vapor pressures of each of the components and rraoult total vapor pressure above the solution.
Soluciones y propiedades coligativas. In this case the conversion reduces further to. Graham’s law of diffusion. So that means that the green partial pressure is going to be half ofwhich is However, atm is still frequently used.
Roault in all phases u The solvent does the dissolving. The general case is that both laws are limit lawsand they apply at opposite ends of the composition range.

So part of my job is that I get to try things out and see how they work. This is very cool! On our Facebook page, there is always talk about laundry and the best detergents to use. There are families who are strict in their CD friendly detergent use. Then, there are families who've only had good luck with detergents that aren't recommended by CD companies.
I thought I'd give one particular detergent a try. It will remain nameless, however, to protect the innocent. *wink wink* I started washing my butterbean's diapers in this detergent. I only used a very small amount for a couple of reasons. One: I only wash 3 to 4 diapers at a time as my little one is potty trained during the day. Two: This detergent is fairly "strong" and you don't need much.
When I first started using the new detergent, I didn't really notice much difference good or bad. My stash didn't seem to get any cleaner or fluffier than they did with my personal CD favorite detergent.. But I pressed on because I wanted to see what the fuss was about with this detergent.
Everything was normal for a couple of weeks. Then one morning I got a call from my mom who watches my butterbean for me. My heart dropped. The moment she said what it looked like I knew he had ammonia burn.
As soon as I got home I went to work. I had to fix my stash. I threw every insert, cover, pocket, and training pant in my top loading washer. Then I put a pot of water on the stove. Just before the water started to boil, I took it off the stove and poured it over my stash. I let them soak for 2 to 3 hours and rinsed with cold water. Then I repeated the process 3 times over two days.
After the last rinse, I ran a hot wash with no detergent. Dried them as usual. I took the diapers out of the dryer with a prayer that there would be no more ammonia burn.
The next morning I called my mom and asked how the little bum looked. No ammonia burn!!! YAY!

Neymar is one of the best players in the World!
Not to mention that Neymar has assisted on quite a number of Brazil’s goals not scored by him in this world cup. He’s a great player all around and Brazil would have surely won the cup if he wasnt fouled out. They tried to get him vs Chile and then succeeded against Colombia to put him in the hospital so Messi can finally live up to his hype as the best player.

After you have read this, dothat will help improve the relationships among all of us[:] parents, teachers, staff, and students?
— Am I speaking in front of my children about topics which should only be spoken about in front of adults?
— Have you taught them to be tolerant of others who are different and that a person who may seem different is also a creature of God?
— Have you reviewed the golden rule recently?
We all need to step back during this time and examine our own consciences first[.] We know that we have a plank in our own eyes[.] so I can barely see in order to remove the speck from yours. T are Catholics who are called at all times to love God and to respect our neighbor. If each one of us were to arise tomorrow before God what would he say of us, whether parent or teacher or principal[?
Rule 1028(a) provides, in pertinent, part, that "[p]"
Appellants sought allocatur in this Court, which we granted on September 24, 2008, rephrasing the issue as follows: "Did the Superior Court err in applying the deference rule to [appellants]'laims?
We further note at the outset that the courts of this Commonwealth previously have applied secular principles of law to certain suits brought against Roman Catholic schools. See, e.g., Vojtasek v. Diocese of Allentown, 916 A.2d 637 (Pa.Super. 2006) (civil suit brought by former Catholic high school student against diocese, school, and bishops alleging sexual abuse by school's vice-principal and disciplinarian); Bishop Leonard Regional Catholic Sch. v. Unemployment Camp. Bd. of Review, 140 Pa.Cmwlth. 428, 593 A.2d 28 (1991) (suit seeking unemployment compensation benefits brought by teacher discharged from Catholic grade school). Although the defendants apparently did not challenge the subject-matter jurisdiction of the courts in these cases, the courts did not raise the question sua sponte either. As this Court noted in Beaver-Butler, 489 A.2d at 1322, deference is not "mandated [] simply because there exist[s] a judicature in the [defendant-]church."
When the conduct complained of occurs in the context of, or is germane to, a dispute over the plaintiff's fitness or suitability to enter into or remain a part of the clergy[][] it is difficult to see how the forbidden inquiry could be avoided. Questions of truth, falsity, malice, and the various privileges that exist often take on a different hue when examined in the light of religious precepts and procedures that generally permeate controversies over who is fit to represent and speak for the church. As the Court observed in McClure v. Salvation Army, 460 F.2d 553, 558-592): "T"

Anyway went down to breakfast in the lobby this a.m. and there was a sea of red. I asked one fellow what bowl game it was and who was playing. He almost fainted with incredulity. He said look at what color is in the whole lobby. I said, "Stanford?
Along the way we saw lemon trees, still lots of long-legged birds, an eagle on some driftwood sticking out of a watery lowland, turtle crossing signs, "Daytona Beach Kennel Club and Poker" sign (which turned out to be a purified way of saying "greyhound racing" ...

The color scheme immediately reminded me of London Tower Bridge (10214). Since this isn't a sealed set, it is not possible to tell if this belongs to one or several sets. However, the combination of some objects like the assembly in Yellow and Pearl Gold as well as Technic pulley wheels in Tan, the 2x10 brick in Blue and, as I mentioned, the overall color ...
I actually managed to find the exact set while refining the question. It's set 744, released in 1980. Here are the reasons why the research I did prior to writing the question didn't lead anywhere: The yellow motor does not show up when searching parts on BrickLink. It's probably because on the list of set 744 parts, it has a note saying "Part colour ...
Find for the rarest piece(s) My usual method for identifying a set I'm not familiar with is to find the rarest part. It's not always possible to find the rarest part but I can usually guess which parts are rare given how many of them I have in my collection. For System sets I will usually ignore unmodified bricks, plates and tiles in common colours. Example ...
These bags don't seem to belong to any specific LEGO set. First, they are filled very sparsely. Normally LEGO bags are filled with more elements than that depicted here. Secondly, in bag #3 we clearly see a Plate 6X6 W. Bow in medium lilac: And a Right Plate 3X8 W/Angle in bright yellow: But these two parts have never been sold in the same set. These ...
Both sets are from 2014, which is why you couldn't find them on LEGO website. Elements included in first picture and first three polybags on second picture are from Battle Towers (21205) set.

The most obvious sign is the LEGO mark present on each stud*.

The Commission has exclusive jurisdiction over police misconduct in Western Australia and is empowered to investigate police reviewable action and any police misconduct.
The minor misconduct function is now within the exclusive jurisdiction of the Public Sector Commission.

In order, the Commission is WA Pol (s 7B(2)).
The Commission may hold anhe CCM Act or for the purposes of an investigation in respect of which an exceptional powers finding has been made related to organised crime and an organised crime summons has been issued. It is just one means by which the Commission conducts an investigation.
Commission examinations are not 'judicial proceedings'; they are an exercise of executive and administrative power. They are part of an investigation. Nonetheless, in the course of an examination, the presiding Commissioner is 'a person acting judicially' within the meaning of s 3 of the Evidence Act 1906 (WA).
To decide a 'matter' between parties (civil or criminal).
Inquiries are generally conducted in private unless it is in the public interest to open them to the public.
Must abide by rules of evidence and procedure.
Documents are not tendered. They are usually referred to as 'materials produced' and are barcoded.
A witness may be the focus of an investigation but is always referred to as a witness. They may have legal representation.
Any evidence in an examination is "restricted matter" and must not be disclosed except in accordance with the CCM Act.
Counsel representing an accused is permitted to cross examine all witnesses.
The Commission may form an opinion which it will often report on.
If the examination is open to the public, Counsel Assisting may present an opening statement to introduce general topics or issues and to outline the facts as then known, thereby providing the context for examination of witnesses.
Lawrie v Lawler NTCA 3 highlighted that it is important, at some stage during the examination process, to ensure parties are made aware of the relevant issues and possible criticisms of them, including any standards of conduct and departures from those standards.
Counsel Assisting will determine the order of witnesses to be called.
When adducing evidence, Counsel Assisting is not limited in the manner in which they conduct questioning. In an examination Counsel Assisting may have to examine, cross examine, challenge a witness's testimony or put forward other accounts to a witness for comment.
raise relevant matters upon which adverse findings could be made against particular persons.
In this role, Counsel Assisting may assist in preparation of summons to the witnesses, advise or prepare examination guidelines and procedures and is obliged to ensure that the examination proceeds in a manner to achieve the purposes of an investigation.
If a witness is not legally represented at an examination, and the Commissdo so, the Commission may arrange for the person to be legally represented (s 142(2)).
Counsel do not have an absolute right of appearance before the Commission. An application for leave to represent a witness is generally made as the witness is called. Leave to appear may be granted with conditions. The Commission may refuse to allow a witness to be represented by a person who is already involved in an examination, or is involved (or suspected to be involved) in a matter being investigated (s 142(4)). Leave to appear may also be revoked.
Leave will not ordinarily be granted for an 'in-house' lawyer employed by a public authority to represent other officers of the authority in a personal capacity.
the reasons why no real or perceived prejudice would flow to the Commission's investigation as a result of the joint representation.
The Commission prefers to conduct examinations with minimal formality and technicality and is not bound by the rules of, or practice of, evidence. The Commission will regulate the conduct of examinations as it thinks fit (s 138(3)).
When Counsel Assisting concludes his or her examination, the Commissioner may ask their legal representative whether they wish to examine the witness. The Commission will only allow a witness to be examined if the evidence is relevant to the investigation and advances the investigation (s 143(2)).
In considering an application the Commissioner may invite Counsel Assisting to make submissions ands may be asked. Counsel will confine themselves to those questions.
The Commission will not tolerate behaviour at an examination that serves to frustrate its ability to conduct an examination as it sees fit. Counsel and witnesses should note the contempt provisions in Part 10 and other offences in Part 11 CCM Act. For further information see Contempt.
Your summons may include a notation prohibiting disclosure of information. This may include information about the summons, your attendance as a witness, information referred to in the summons, information in documents, statements, evidence or anything relevant to a Commission examination. Please read the notation carefully and make sure you comply with it.
for the purpose of obtaining legal aid relating to the summons.
The WA Government has established a fund to provide legal assistance for serving and former public officers called as witnesses or served with notices or summonses by the Commission. Applications for legal aid may be made to Legal Aid WA. For more information see: http://www.legalaid.wa.gov.au/LegalAidServices/applyingforLegalAid/Pages/Corruption-and-Crime-Commission-fund.aspx ).
Public examinations may be attended by anyone and may be streamed live via the Commission's website.
You your evidence.
The Commission will tell you at the start about the general scope and purpose of the Commission's investigation.
When Counsel Assisting finishes his or her examination, the Commissioner will, if appropriate, ask your lawyer whether they want to examine you. The Commission will only allow your lawyer to examine you.
You may also be examined by a person representing another witness. This will only be allowed if the Commission considers there are special circumstances.
If Counsel Assisting wants to ask you questions about any documents, these will be handed to you or displayed on a screen in front of you during the examination. You will be given time to read the document before you are asked questions about it.
What happens if I don't attend when summonsed to do so?
Failure to obey a summons without reasonable excuse is a contempt of the Commission.
If you are unable to attend at the Commission as required by the summons for any medical or other reason

Media outlets will receive a media release announcing details of a public examination before it starts. Instructions on how to access livestream viewing will also be provided. A Commission representative will conduct a media briefing immediately before an examination begins.
Mobile phones must be switched to a silent mode in the examination room so they do not interrupt proceedings. The media are permitted to use mobile phones in the media room. This privilege may be withdrawn if photographs or audio recordings are taken by a mobile device on the Commission's premises.
Transcripts of the examinationas soon as practicable - subject to operational constraints.
It is a breach of the Corruption, Crime and Misconduct Act 2003 to disclose any details of a private examination; including the witnesses who may have or are going to appear, what the hearing was about, or any evidence that may have been given.
Interviews with the Corruption and Crime Commissioner will not be granted during public examinations. Interviews with witnesses and counsel will also not be facilitated by the Commission and are not permitted on its premises.
The media cannot attend or on. It is an offence to report that a private examination is to be held, or has been held, to name witnesses who appeared at a private examination, or any details of the evidence given.

In a public examination, Counsel Assisting and/or the Commissioner will also deliver opening remarks which are more detailed, going into the reasons why the Commission has decided to open the examination to the public. They may also contain background information specific to the investigation.
Before giving evidence in a Commission examination, a witness will be required to take an oath or affianswer to all questions that may be asked of me before the Corruption and Crime Commission.
Other forms of oath are available for alternative religions. Notifying the Associate of the religion practised by a witness prior to an examination will help facilitate. Where a witness is unable to read, the Associate will read the oath/affirmation and the witness will repeat the words.
Restricted matter is defined in s 151(1) and includes evidence given before the Commission, s 151(1)(a).
the penalties for breaching the order.
During an examination the Commissioner may make such procedural orders as are reasonably necessary for the exercise of the examination power (s 138(3)).
After the Commissioner makes an oral order, the Commissioner's Associate will reduce that order to writing and the Commissioner will sign it. Once that is done the order is to be served on the parties. This will ensure that the parties are in no doubt as to what is required of them. The order should contain a warning that a failure to comply with the order is a contempt of the Commission.
It is important that orders are particularised and served on the parties.

An example of a Notice to witnesses is below. All witnesses are required to sign this document prior to their examination.

The Commission's n., the Commission is to inform the witness of the general scope and purpose of the investigation (s 138(1)) unless the Commission considers that in the circumstances it would be undesirable to do (s 138(2)).
The general scope and purpose of an examination is not a form of pleadings. The Commission does not conduct its examinations according to strict terms of reference, in the manner of a Royal Commission or other ad hoc commissions of inquiry.
Where it is contended that the Commission is or would be acting beyond its jurisdiction in a particular way or matter, the person so contending should provide written submissions to the Commission.
The principle of procedural fairness is implied as a condition of the exercise of a statutory power and is inferred in statute establishing a statutory power unless clearly displaced HCA 29 at .
There is an established line of case authority confirming that the condition of procedural fairness applies to commissions of inquiry/ statutory investigative bodies (such as the Commission) in the exercise of their statutory powers: Annetts v McCann HCA 57 Lawrie v Lawler NTCA 3.

The concern of procedural fairness is to avoid practical injustice - there is no denial of procedural fairness where no practical injustice is shown:Re; Ex parte Lam (2003) 214 CLR 1 at 821.

It will be appropriate to allow the Commission a reasonable time to respond to the written concerns, beforematter.
Legal professional privilege (LPP) is upheld as a fundamental and basic common law right and not merely a rule of evidence. .
Legal professional privilege may be applied to resist giving information or producing documents within investigatory procedures pursuant to s 155 Trade Practices Act 1974 (Cth) (see213 CLR 543 at 552-553).
Legal professional privilege may also be used to refuse to produce documents that are the subject of a search warrant authorised by statute or other extra-curial process as well as a subpoena issued under or discovery required by rules of court63).
LPP applies to investigative bodies such as a Commission exercising powers of compulsion, subject always to clear and unmistakable statutory language relating to LPP (see AWB Ltd v Cole FCA 571 at ).
Section 144 of the CCM Act provides that a person who is required by the CCM Act to answer questions, give evidence, produce records, things or information or make facilities available, is not prevented from claiming LPP as a reason for not complying with the requirement. However, under subsection (2) the privilege does not apply to "a public authority or public officer in that capacity".
This means that when a witness is summoned to appear at, or produce a record or thing to the Commission in their capacity as a public officer, neither the public officer nor their agency can avail themselves of the immunity of legal professional privilege as a reason for refusing to comply with the Commission's request.
If a witness (other than ) claims LPP over a communication required to be produced to or in answer to the questions of the Commission, the presiding Commissioner will make a decision about the LPP claim.
The principle of public interest immunity is a principle of law to be applied in respect of evidence, irrespective of any actual claim of privilege by a party.
Public interest immunity it is not confined to judicial or quasi-judicial proceedings and may apply to the execution of search warrants under s 10 of the Crimes Act 1914 (Cth) (See Jacobsen v Rogers (1995) 182 CLR 572, at 589).
Division 2 of Part 7 of the CCM Act provides for 'claims of privilege and reasonable excuse' in Commission examinations. As referred to above in this chapter, s 144 expressly deals with another common law right, that of legal professional privilege. In contrast, Division 2 public interest immunity.
The circumstances in which a person may be in contempt of the Commission are detailed in Part 10 of the CCM Act.
A person required to comply with a notice served under s 94 or s 95, or a summons served under s 96, (s 163(6)).
Hindering the execution of a search warrant, without reasonable excuse, is a contempt of the Commission (s 161).
An act may be punished as a contempt of the Commission even though it could be punished as an offence (s 164(1)).

Les États de Savoie ou États de la maison de Savoie, aussi appelés « États sardes » (Stati Sardi) après 1815, sont des expressions permettant de qualifier les différentes possessions territoriales des comtes, puis ducs de Savoie, appartenant à la maison de Savoie, depuis le jusqu'à l'unité italienne (1861).
Formation ()
La constitution des États de Savoie débute avec le comte Humbert, installé en Maurienne, qui détient le contrôle sur les comtés de Savoie en 1003 (dont le titre ne sera mentionné pour la première fois qu'en 1143), puis celui de Belley, de Nyon () en 1018, enfin celui d'Aoste () en 1024. Il domine aussi le nord du comté de Viennois avant 1025 (possédé jusqu'en 1355), puis celui de Sermorens. Par mariage, il a des possessions dans le Valais et dans le Chablais. Othon acquiert aussi par mariage de vastes possessions en Italie du Nord, avec Suse (clef du passage du Mont-Cenis), Ivrée, Pignerol et le bourg de Turin. Pierre II de Savoie accroît les possessions comtales, notamment en pays de Gex et de Vaud au .
la Novalaise avec Voiron ;
le Viennois savoyard, avec Saint-Georges-d'Espéranche, jusqu'en 1355 ;
le val d'Aoste avec Châtel-Argent/Villeneuve ;
Après 1355, les territoires de la maison de Savoie s'agrandissent, les huit bailliages sont complétés par :
le Faucigny (1355) (avec Châtillon/Cluses) ;
Auxquels on ajoute le pays de Gex, les « Terres neuves de Provence » (futur comté de Nice) et le Piémont.
XV-XVI
Sous le règne d'Amédée VIII (1391-1439), la croissance des États de Savoie est importante. Dès 1388, par l'intermédiaire du traité de l'abbaye de Saint-Pons (connu comme la Dédition de Nice à la Savoie), l'obtention du comté de Nice et de son port permet un accès à la mer Méditerranée. Les armées du duc Amédée VIII contrôlent le val d'Ossola, en 1411, permettant le contrôle du Simplon (perte du territoire en 1417). Il obtient en 1413, l'apanage définitif du marquisat de Saluces. En 1416, Amédée obtient le titre ducal, et par la même occasion l'apanage direct du Piémont, de l'empereur Sigismond. Entre 1401-1402 et 1424, le comté de Genève (avec Genève, puis Annecy), dont le comte est devenu vassal depuis la seconde moitié du , est acheté aux héritiers du dernier comte par le duc. Il deviendra à partir de 1460 l'apanage du Genevois.
tandis que les Bernois protestants envahissent le pays de Vaud, le pays de Gex et le Chablais occidental.
Au même moment François , parti guerroyer à Milan, occupe Bourg-en-Bresse, Chambéry et la Savoie Propre, les vallées de Maurienne et de Tarentaise, pour s'assurer son passage vers l'Italie, entre 1536 et 1559.
Du au , les États de Savoie sont à leur apogée. Lors du traité de Lyon en 1601, à la suite de l'occupation française, les États de Savoie perdent les terres de Bresse, de Gex et du Bugey au profit du roi de France, mais récupèrent toutefois le marquisat de Saluces.
La situation politique des États de Savoie fut modifiée par le Statut albertin, transformant l'ancienne m réduit considérablement l'autonomie des États vis-à-vis du pouvoir central. Cette "Fusion parfaite" entraîne la fin du sénat souverain de Savoie et de la vice-royauté de Sardaigne. Le système administratif du royaume de Sardaigne sera à nouveau réformé en 1859, à l'annexion de la Lombardie, avec le Décret Rattazzi. Celui-ci découpe le royaume en 17 provinces en remplacement des anciennes divisions. Ce système administratif est encore utilisé en Italie.
Le délitement des États de Savoie se poursuit surtout à cause du Risorgimento. C'est dans ce cadre que le traité de Turin est signé le entre Napoléon III, empereur des Français, et Victor-Emmanuel II, duc de Savoie et roi de Sardaigne. Ce dernier, suivant les modalités du traité, cède à la France le comté de Nice (augmenté de Menton et de Roquebrune, dépendances de la principauté de Monaco, auto-proclamées villes libres en 1848 et rachetées par l'Empire français à Charles III, prince de Monaco, pour 4 millions de francs-or en 1861) qui devient l'actuel arrondissement de Nice, partie du département des Alpes-Maritimes nouvellement créé, et le duché de Savoie qui forme depui Toutefois, le traité de Turin n'incluait pas les communes de Tende et de La Brigue, qui, déclarées « territoires de chasse » du roi Victor-Emmanuel II, resteront sardes puis italiennes jusqu'en 1947.

"The biggest problem we have and I think you can accuse this to both parties, but primarily the Republican party, and that is that over the last several decades, we have seen a separation between what the people at the bottom of the spectrum realize in way of benefit, and what the people at the top of the spectrum benefit, the superbly rich, I can accuse both parties."
Gravel also touched upon the US' election system, saying that "politicians are corrupt and they're basically cowards because we have a system that is set up where you give me money to help me get elected and when I'm elected, I will vote for your economic interest, that is bribery, and that's the foundation of our system in this country."
"We spend more on the military than several of the countries put together that represent here, China is about 15 percent of our budget, Russia is about 10 percent of our budget, it is ridiculous, and you haven't heard a word from the Democrats or the Republicans other than Trump saying we've rebuilt the military, my God, what is enough enough, it's shameful and we back up that military need because we're so afraid in the world that somebody is going to be our equal."

We could see a use for the crocheted teacup, since it has a plastic glass inserted into it. You might be able to grow a plant in there, if you wanted to. But what in the wide, wide world of sports would you do with a crocheted cupcake?
Since we have the shelf of "Whaaa?
Daisies, dotted swiss fabric, salmon sashes, and pink ribbon–oh my!It doesn't quite scan, but the feeling is genuine. We're sure she was the hit of the prom with the see-though fabric covering her décolletage. Every time we hear someone talking about seventies retro fashions, this is what flashes in front of our eyes. Let's never go there again!
We can hear you now saying, "yeah, it's oatmeal and water, so what?" Well, when's the last time you bought food at a thrift store?Even if it appears to be unused, we wouldn't trust the contents for one hot minute–ick!
Food at a thrift store?Come buy my garbage. I went through our pantry as part of my pre sale house efforts and threw away outdated stuff. You mean I could have sold it?
The lamps are very pretty!
I have to raise my hand to make a comment on that 70's dress. It is almost identical to the bridesmaid dresses of my oldest brother's wedding (which was in the 80s). The sheer daisy fabric was the same (hell…
Oh my goodness!Where is this charming house …. I might have to buy it!LOL The "dear" little wall lamps look like two of Jim Henson's Muppets that have been re-purposed!Too funny!
Is there any way to flush the crochet cupcake down the toilet mug!
Great finds as always Kathy!I'm so glad you do this!
What a great idea to flush the cupcake down the toilet mug–a perfect solution to two problems!Glad you enjoy our blog, we are still having fun doing it!

A covered call is a strategy consisting of two positions, or legs. The covered call writer holds the stock and sells call options on that stock. This strategy is considered a low risk strategy because the obligation incurred by writing the call can be fulfilled by delivering the underlying stock. The call is covered by the stock.
Covered calls can be traded in a single complex strategy transaction known as a buy-write. The buy write trader buys the stock and writes the call in one simultaneous transaction. This has two advantages: the funds required to enter the transaction are less than those required to buy the stock. The amount required is equal to the cost of the stock minus the premium received from selling the call. The second advantage is there is no risk of the call price moving away from the desired price due to abrupt changes in the stock price or changing bid and ask quotes. If the stock transaction is separate from the call transaction, the stock price may subsequently fall, making the call cheaper after the stock is acquired and lowering the position's return.
Trading covered calls is one of the few option strategies permitted in retirement accounts. Since naked calls are not permitted in many retirement accounts, covered call traders are forced to enter the stock leg first, then sell the option leg. However, it is generally advantageous to enter the option leg of the covered call first, since the option market is less liquid and has wider spreads than the stock market. As a result, it can be harder to fill a limit trade at the desired price in the option market. If a buy-write transaction is not supported by your broker consider selling the option as a limit order first, then buying the stock at the market price.
It is also typical to sell covered calls one or two months out. The time premium erodes much more rapidly as expiration approaches, so selling more short term calls yields more time premium than selling fewer long term calls. However, the extra premium can be offset by commissions for small trades, making selling a slightly longer term option more advantageous.
A covered call has the same risk profile as a short put.

I don't know enough about game engines for this question. If they were able to release an expansion could they use Unreal Engine 4 or would that be too much work?
I don't really think that it'd be worth their effort to port BnS to UE4. It'd probably be easier for them to, like you said, make a BnS 2 with the engine. It might be too soon to be thinking about that, though. Kinda reminds me of people on Mabinogi wanting devCAT to just patch Mabinogi II's new engine into the game. It was like...

Ever get confused between Apache, Apache httpd and Apache Tomcat?Do you need just one of them, or both?Can they simply coexist or do you need to connect them together?
For example, our web site at Well House Consultants comprises some 6000 different URLs. About 10% of those (but well under 10% of our traffic) relate to our library of Open Source books, which we keep in a MySQL database and access dynamically as someone searches for a book at a particular level and on a particular subject - perhaps asking only for our 'hot favourites' as a form of recommendation. This is a classic example of a web application ...
Carrying on with the example, it's rather more arguable whether or not the help pages / FAQ for the application - flat pieces of HTML with copious images, but to server side executable content, are best served by Tomcat or httpd ...
Did Apache httpd know the answer himself, or did he ask someone else?In real life, we would hear him yell across the room if he had to ask and we would certainly notice if he left us standing and went across to another room - say room 8080 - to ask the occupant of that room. But, never the less, we would be happy to have asked the question at a single point of contact and got a reply even if we had to hang on for a while. This is a much more desirable state of affairs than being referred on from one person to the next ...
That's how Apache httpd and Tomcat work together. Httpd takes the "lead" role and analyses all the questions ...
There are numerous ways of connection httpd and Tomcat but this has been a fast-moving field over the last couple of years and at present there are just two fully supported routes. If you see references to jk2, that was deprecated in November 2004 and if you see references to warp, that was deprecated earlier (2003?

The first motorcycle was invented in 1885 and have grown in popularity with every generation. Amongst those generations are certain individuals who help spark a love for motorcycles in those around them.
It is nearly impossible to just pick out who the top 5 most famous motorcycle riders are, so we’re going to discuss the top 40 individuals. These are all people who have helped shape worldwide motorcycle culture for years to come.
These are just a few of the famous motorcycle riders who have influenced our love of motorcycles over the years. Keep reading below for details on each of these famous motorcycle riders.
Steve McQueen’s first motorcycle was an american classic, a 1946 Indian Chief. After his acting career blossomed in the mid 50’s he quickly became the highest paid actor in Hollywood. He starred in huge hits like “Bullitt”, “The Great Escape”, “Le Mans”, and “The Magnificent Seven”.
McQueen involved his love of motorsports in as many of his movies as he could. McQueen began offroad motorcycle racing in the early 60’s and became a skilled rider. His movie contracts didn’t allow him to race in case he was injured during filming season se he raced under a different name, Harvey Mushman.
McQueen was selected to be on the US team for the International Six Days Trial in Germany in 1964. The ISDT is one of the most gruelling motorcycle races in the world. Each teammate must ride 200 miles per day. McQueen was doing well when a spectator sideswiped him on a fast stretch and sent him hurtling face first into a rock. Mcqueen was out for the race, though 3 of his teammates went on to win medals during the event.
Another little-known fact about McQueen is that he wrote motorcycle articles for Popular Science in the 60’s. He helped change the motorcycle scene in that decade from a rough castout crowd to the everyday person wanting to ride.
Towards the end of his life, McQueen owned over 100 motorcycles which were sold off after his death. Sadly, McQueen lost his battle to lung cancer when he was only 50 years old, but left a lasting impact on the worldwide motorcycle community.
Evel Knievel is known throughout the world as the greatest motorcycle stunt man to ever live. Knievel was raised in Montana and competed in skiing events. He was fired from his first job for doing stunts in the heavy equipment and accidentally knocking out power to the entire town.
During a late night police chase through Butte, Montana, Knievel crashed his motorcycle and was jailed with a man nicknamed “Awful Knofel”, so the guards gave him the nickname of Evil Knievel. He didn’t want to be known as a bad person, so he changed the spelling to Evel instead of Evil.
In order to support his family, Kneivel took up stunt riding. He organized stunt shows and starting doing things like jumping over cages full of rattlesnakes and mountain lions. He continued to take riskier jumps and racking up a long list of broken bones and injuries.
During his practice jump he crashed and was hospitalized for an extended period. ABC bought the film clips of his failed jump and he became a national celebrity for his daredevil act.
The fans loved him and he instilled a daredevil attitude in all those who watched him. He attempted 75 jumps and landed the majority of them.
James Dean died at the young age of 24 but left a lasting impression on the motorcycle community for generations. James grew up in a small town in Indiana and was known as “One Speed Dean” for his reckless driving around town.
His first motorcycle was a 1.5 horsepower Czech which was nicknamed the “The Popcycle” because it would backfire so much. He would later own a Royal Engfield 500, an Indian 500, several Harley Davidson, and a Norton 500.
The last motorcycle he purchased was a Triumph Trophy 500. Most of his motorcycles are still owned by the Dean family to this day.
Dean only ever starred in three large movies but made a huge impact on pop culture of the 50’s. Dean got into car racing after one of his films and bought a Triumph Tiger T110 and a Porsche 356. In his first professional race he earned 1st place in the novice event and 2nd place in the main event.
He was killed in a car accident when someone in oncoming traffic turned left in front of him. Dean did not have time to stop and suffered a broken neck in the accident.
Roth began building wild hot rod cars and custom motorcycles and being featured on dozens of magazines and was a cofounder of the Kustom Kulture company. The Revell toy company even manufactured scale models of all his motorcycles and hot rods to sell as children’s toys.
When Ed was 20 years old he began holding parties at his motorcycle shop and got involved with many of the local motorcycle clubs. He became deeply involved with Hell’s Angels and in his later years admitted to doing many things he was horribly ashamed of.
In his later years he joined a Christian church and moved to a small town in Utah to have a more simple lifestyle. He continued to do custom builds until he died.
The Henry Ford Auto Museum in Detroit houses several of Ed’s most wild builds, and there is a Rat Fink Reunion held in Manti, Utah every year in June to commemorate his work.
Jay Leno has been an avid motorcycle and car enthusiast his whole life, and after retiring from hosting his late night talk show he began a new show called “Jay Leno’s Garage”. He features wild and beautiful cars and bikes every week.
Jay owns a huge collection of two and four wheel autos and can regularly be spotted driving around his studio in rare and expensive vehicles near his studio in Burbank. Leno owns 117 motorcycles, ranging from Harleys and Indians from the early 1900’s all the way up to modern superbikes.
He hasthe US and it grows larger every year. He has worlds largest collection of Brough Superiors, considered by many to be the ancestor to modern superbikes.
He recalls paying $5,000 for his first Brough and now they’re all worth over $500,000 each. Leno’s first motorcycle was a cheap 350cc Honda that he used to commute in college. His rarest bike is a 1922 Megola with a 5 cylinder radial engine that is front wheel drive.
Kendrick Robert Howard was born in 1929 in Los Angeles. Kenny began working at the age of 10 as a pinstriper and letter writer and many thought him to be a professional until they met him and realized his age.
He had a talent for pinstriping, due largely to his father owning a pinstriping business in California. Kenny was also a co-owner of Kustom Kulture along with Ed Roth. Von Dutch motorcycles and cars graced the covers of automotive magazines for several decades.
Kenny also gained fame for making custom knives and guns. He was extremely talented with his hands. Kenny “Von Dutch” is still known as one of the straightest pin stripers in the world. He painted two perfectly straight parallel lines down the side of a 1979 Pontiac Firebird. They were so straight that people had thought he cheated.
Lawrence Desmedt was born in 1949 in New York and became known as Indian Larry in 1980 while riding a chopped Indian motorcycle. Indian Larry was not very well known until his last few years of life after competing in motorcycle building competitions and performing at motorcycle rallies.
When Larry was young, his scoptmaster raced Inid
A month before he was to graduate from high school, he left home and joined his sister in California to be part of the 1960’s outcast crowd. He spiraled into drug addiction and his sister was murdered, which sent him further into addiction.
He was shot by police and arrested in 1972 after robbing a bank and spent several years in prison. He earned his GED and decided to become a master welder and mechanic. After prison, Larry moved back to New York and got involved in the growing chopper scene of the 80’s, and was featured on several magazine covers.
Ewan McGregor began riding motorcycles when he was young, and has amassed quite a collection of motorcycles over the years. He even owns one of the few famed Indian Larry motorcycles.
While filming movies he’s not allowed to ride motorcycles for insurance purposes, but while directing films that same rule does not apply. He even does all his own mechanic work on his motorcycles, which is part of the fun of owning them.
McGregor has done something that many of us ever dream of being able to accomplish on a motorcycle, circumnavigating the globe. He and his friend Charley Boorman made a documentary called “Long Way Round” in which they rode around the world using BMW motorcycles.
McGregor now does advertising work for Moto Guzzi, his favorite motorcycle brand. They trade him new motorcycles for his work! He owns four Moto Guzzi motorcycles including his favorite, a V7.
He once wrecked a Ducati 748 on the Brands Hatch Indy Circuit near London while doing 100 mph. He came es and does not remember anything about the accident, just standing on the track after it happened.
Keanu Reevesowns quite a collection. He has ridden motorcycles in several of his movies, including the highly successful John Wick Trilogy.
Reeves’ business is called ARCH Motorcycles and is based in Los Angeles. Each motorcycle build costs around $80,000.
Reeves owns several classic Nortons, a 1974 BMW 750, a Harley Shovelhead, and a Moto Guzzi race bike.
Reeves started ARCH Motorcycles with custom builder Gard Hollinger in 2007. Their first motorcycle was a highly modified Harley Davidson, and from there they decided to start designing and building their own motorcycles from scratch.
According to their website, there are currently 3 models for sale; the KRGT-1, the 1s, and the Method 143.
Richard Hammond bought his first motorcycle when he was 16, it was a Honda MTX50. He bought several other small dirt bikes afterwards and crashed most of them.
Richard Hammond gained his stardom from the hit BBC television show “Top Gear”. If you haven’t seen it then you have a lot of catching up to do. He is now one of the stars of the show “The Grand Tour” from Amazon.
Hammond has long been mocked by his co-stars on both shows for always riding motorcycles when he’s the star of a car show. They did once let him ride a motorcycle across Mozambique for one of the episodes of “The Grand Tour” and it is well worth watching.
Alecia Beth Moore is more commonly known for her musician name of P!nk. She’s known for her powerful vocals and wild hair-dos. P!nk has been riding motorcycles for years, and stated that she prefers Triumphs, Harleys and Indians.
P!nk is married to motocross champ Carey Hart. Both of them post pictures of them on their motorcycles all the time on Instagram, so give them a follow so you can see their sweet motorcycles.
They received public criticism several years ago for getting their 2 year old son a motorcycle to learn olet them complain. P!nk and Carey, great job teaching your children skills that they’ll use their whole life.
The couple met at the X Games in 2001 where Carey was competing in motocross. Pink currently rides an Indian Scout that her husband built for her, but the couple owns many more motorcycles.
Brad Pitt has been around the Hollywood spotlight for a long time and is often seen riding around L.A. on different motorcycles from his collection. He has been riding since he was younger and has amassed quite a few cars and motorcycles over the years.
Here is a list of a few of the motorcycles that Brad has been seen riding around in the past few years.
Whenever he doesn’t to pack one of his children around you can bet that he’ll be out on one of awesome motorcycles. Some of the more rare pieces of his collection include a one of a kind Indian Larry chopper, several Jesse Rooke custom bikes, and the cherry on top is probably the Ecosse Titanium Series XX.
Here are some of the motorcycles that have been owned by Cruise over the years.
A lot of these motorcycles you’ve probably seen on-screen in some of his movies, others are just part of his private collection. The Kawasaki GPZ 900R is probably his most famous on-screen motorcycle. It;s the bike he rode down the runway in the movie “Top Gun”.
Angelina began riding motorcycles soon before she started dating Brad Pitt back in 2005. Her love of motorcycles has translated into several of her on-screen roles including “Tomb Raider” and “Salt”.
Arnold has owned many motorcycles over the years and was often spotted riding around Los Angeles while he still rode. Although Arnold is still getting a little older and doesn’t ride much any more he stills owns several motorcycles.
While Arnold rode a lot in his younger years he generally preferred the larger Harley Davidson models. Big guys need big bikes!
Arnold even rode across California frequently when he was serving as the Governor. He used it as an opportunity to be seen by the people, and only wore half helmets so people would recognize him.
Arnold also rode Harleys in the Terminator movies and many of them have fetched top dollar at auctions since those movies are now so famous.
Arnold was involved in a motorcycle accident in 2006 with his son and was highly criticized by the public for not having a current motorcycle license while driving. The motorcycle was a Harley with a sidecar and in California you only need with a sidecar. So technically he wasn’t driving illegally. A car to hit the brakes. He and his son both suffered minor injuries.
Ryan is most commonly seen riding around on Triumphs, but his favorite Triumph is his 1964 Triumph 650 that was built by Kott Motorcycles. It’s a beautiful machine, go check out pictures of it online.
Dylan owned and regularly rode his 1964 Triumph Tiger. He was involved in a horrific accident in 1966 and didn’t perform for years afterwards. Think of all the songs we could have had if he hadn’t have had his misfortune.
Clint Eastwood is American through and through, and loves his country. But he tends to like British engineering more than American. He has owned many Norton and Triumph motorcycles over the years and is said to still have quite a few in his collection, although he doesn’t ride much any more.
Hunter is most famous for his BSA Lightning Rocket, in which he rode around with the Hell’s Angels for years, studying the group and later reporting on them. He has a fascinating story, go look him up if you have free time.
Lindhberg bought his first motorcycle when he was 18 years old. It was a 1920 Excelsior, which are incredibly rare nowadays. Lindhberg is famous for many things, and one of those is when he rode his Excelsior from Chicago to Louisville in 24 hours. And that was in 1921!
Buddy’s favorite motorcycle was a 1958 Ariel Cyclone and he was often spotted riding around on it. The motorcycle was kept in the Holly family for quite a while and then was given as a gift to Waylon Jennings in 1979. The motorcycle went up for sale in 2004 and sold for almost $500,000.
Carl Fogarty i and holds the title for 2nd most wins in history. His father was also a famous motorcycle racer. The Fogarty family has made a large impact on the worldwide motorcycle community.
Nick Sanders is a famous bicyclist and motorcyclist who is most famous for holding the title for most times riding around the world. He has ridden around the globe 7 times and has documented his journeys for all of us to see. He is a true adventurer and thrill seeker.
Former rapper and now talk show host Queen Latifah is most commonly seen riding around on her Honda CBR but she has owned quite a few motorcycles over the years. She continued to ride even after suffering the tragedy of losing her brother in a motorcycle accident.
The actor owns several motorcycles and performed almost all of his own stunts in his movie “The Place Between The Pines”. Gosling owns an old Honda Shadow, a classic Honda CB750 cafe racer, and rides enduro bikes regularly.
Apart from being one of the famous football (soccer) players to ever live, David Beckham also owns an impressive collection of motorcycles that he regularly rides. He is most regularly seen riding Triumph motorcycles.
Bradley Cooper owns quite a few motorcycles but enjoys riding his Triumph Thruxton and Ducati the most. He is often seen riding around town either by himself or with special female passengers.
John has several motorcycles in his stable and even rode one of his personal motorcycles for his movie “Wild Hogs”. He has owned many Harley Davidsons over the years but doesn’t own just American bikes.
Orlando is sponsored by both BMW Motorcycles and Husqvarna. He grew up riding old kick starters like most of us and then fell in love with BMW long the way. Orlando has a very impressive collection of motorcycles and even helped BMW design one.
Gerard has been riding bikes for years, and has a passion for Triumph Motorcycles. He had a serious accident in 2017 when a person wasn’t paying attention and cut him off. He still rides but says he is much more cautious now than he used to be.
Many people say that Clark Gable just liked to pose with motorcycles but didn’t like to actually ride them. That’s just not true. He owned a 1934 Harley Davidson and a 1941 Knucklehead Harley. His motorcycles go up for auction every 10 years or so and are passed around between antique investors.
Brando became famous in the motorcycle world for his 1953 film “The Wild One” where he rode a Triumph Thunderbird. The Triumph was his own bike that he rode throughout the whole movie. Brando’s portrayal of a gang leader in that movie is why James Dean bought a Triumph 500.
T.E. Lawrence, orfamous for his Brough Superior SS-100 motorcycle. Brough motorcycles were the predecessors to superbikes and many of them could go well over 100 miles per hour, which was considered a ludicrous speed in that decade. Lawrence was killed on his Brough Superior when swerving to miss some children on bicycles.
Stephen King, known for his gruesome horror novels has been an avid motorcycle rider since he was young. He has owned many motorcycles over the years and even “Sons of Anarchy” in which he rode a red Harley Davidson Road Glide. One of his favorite motorcycles is his 1986 Heritage Soft tail.
Kid Rock owns a large collection of custom cars and motorcycles. Kid Rock’s summer tour was sponsored by Harley Davidson in 2014 for their 110th anniversary. Kid Rock owns quite a few Harley Davidsons as well as a handful of custom choppers built specifically for him.
Charlie Hunnam is the star of the hit motorcycle show “Sons of Anarchy” and says that he rides the same bike in real life that he rides on the show, a Harley Davidson Dyna Super Glide. He owns several motorcycles but says that is his favorite. He has been in several accidents and says he has punched off people’s side mirrors when they drive too close to him.
Daniel Craig who portrays English spy James Bond has a love for motorcycles both on and off the screen. His favorite motorcycle he has used in a movie is the Montesa Cota 4RT in “Quanum of Solace”. He also rode a Honda CRF250R in “Skyfall”. He has been spotted driving around casually on several Enduro motorcycles in public.
In 2019, Jason Momoa found an old Harley engine in a garage and decided for Father’s Day that he was going to fix it up with his kids and make memories in it. They built up a Harley Knucklehead and have been spotted many times cruising around together on it.
Chris Pine enjoys doing a lot of his own stunts when he’s on set for a movie and seems to find excuses frequently to have his characters riding motorcycles. Chris has owned a Ducati and several BMW’s.
Tim Allen is a man’s man in real life just like he portrays on his old show “Home Improvement”. He loves old cars and motorcycles and has quite a collection of classic vehicles. He has said many times that hes not really a Harley man, but does enjoy older British bikes like Triumph and Norton. Tim Allen is also throughout the motorcycle community for his role in the movie “Wild Hogs” where he rides cross-country with a group of his friends.
No list of famous motorcycle riders would be complete without a mention of Burt Munro, so I saved the best for last. Burt Munro has always been one of the motorcycle role models I’ve looked up to since I was young.
Burt was from New Zealand and built a custom 1920 Indian Scout that he shipped to the Bonneville Salt Flats when he was 70 years old and broke the world land speed record on old bald tires and no special equipment. He amazed the world with his backyard enginuity. The movie “The World’s Fastest Indian” was made about him and is definitely one you need to see.
There you have it, a list of 40 famous motorcycle riders with a little history of each person, what they drive, and why they have had an influence on the motorcycle community. Iworthy to be on this list, and we wish we had time to talk about all of them!

the past ages – Mesolithic, Bronze, Iron, Roman-Iron, Dark, Middle and modern Ages and how these impinged on Dunbar. There are fascinating aspects of the part the town played in Scotland’s history, including several firsts, including the first medal to be struck for ordinary soldiers (battle of Dunbar 1650), among the very first towns and before Edinburgh to introduce street lighting, first town in Scotland to possess a lifeboat (1808) years before the RNLI., first town to recommend the introduction of decimal currency (mid 19th century) and others. Swords, Loaves and Fishes has been described as the most comprehensive history of a small Scottish town ever published. (Out of print)
Many people interested in military history have heard of the name Wingate, chiefly Orde Charles Wingate , defender of the Jewish settlers in Palestine, then Emperor Heile Selassie in Abyssinia against Mussolini in the early Second World War and most famously, as founder of the Chindits, who operated behind the Japanese lines in Burma in 1944-45. Less is known of his great or second cousin Francis Reginald Wingate, a Victoria soldier -statesman who was Lord Kitchener’s spymaster during the campaign to recover the Sudan from the Dervishes led by the Mahdi between 1885 and 1898, culminating in the decisive battle of Omdurman. For his bravery and resourcefulness, Reginald (Rex) Wingate was appointed Governor General of the Sudan and Sirdar (Commander) of the Egyptian army between 1889 and 1917. Wingate Pasha examines his career in the Sudan, which he loved and strove to improve both economically and socially. During the Great War, he master-minded the Arab Revolt against Turkish domination in Saudi Arabia, although his subordinate T E Lawrence (of Arabia) received the credit for this achievement. Appointed High Commissioner of Egypt in 1917, Wingate repeatedly asked the British government of the day to clarify its status as a British Mandated territory as Whitehall had promised to give Egypt her independence in exchange for support during the Great War. Despite his efforts, Wingate was sacked in 1919 and retired from public service as First Baron Wingate of the Sudan, the most highly decorated officer in the British Army. He made his home in Dunbar and spent the remainder of his life as a businessman, chiefly managing companies in Africa and the Belgian Congo, for which he received the African Star medal. Wingate Pasha is the first biography of the man who came to Dunbar for its excellent golf course; he never held public office again after 1919 but contributed much to his adopted home’s public life – he was involved in the RNLI and the British Legion, donating money to various charities. On his death, he received a full military funeral, honoured not only by those who knew him in Dunbar but in the Middle East. A ‘must read’ for students of the Middle East between 1885 and 1919y. </s> Co

On May 1, I was proud to march in Waukesha with thousands of immigrants and their families and supporters to make history. Like myself, thousands left work, withdrew their children from school, and closed their businesses as part of a general strike and massive day of protest to call on Waukesha County Sheriff Eric Severson to not turn his deputies into Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents through a federal program called 287g.
Under 287g, local law enforcement officers are formally deputized as Immigration and Customs Enforcement (or ICE) agents, allowed to interrogate and detain community members based on their perceived immigration status. The program has repeatedly been found to increase discrimination and racial profiling and lead to a decrease in reporting crimes.
READ IN SPANISH:Todos Somos Waukesha: lo que la marcha del 1 de mayo significó para mí
RELATED:May Day demonstration in Waukesha attracts thousands in protest of immigration enforcement
RELATED:Waukesha County Sheriff Eric Severson defends immigration program, prepares for march
I have lived in Waukesha since 1997. I love the Waukesha community. I feel that I am a part of this community and this country. My wife and I have raised our four children here. Our children were joined by many other parents and students from their schools. I felt joyful to have the support of our pastors and congregation members join us in a march to keep immigrant families together and recognize their contributions & dignity.
Sheriff Severson’s decision to adopt 287g threatens families and all that we have built in Waukesha. While Sheriff Severson claims the immigrant community should not worry because this program will only be used in the jail and will only target people who have committed a serious crime, in fact, all immigrants are a target. The failure of the state Legislature to pass a law that provides access to driver licenses for Wisconsin immigrants means that a simple ticket for driving without a license is a misdemeanor offense punishable by jail time in many circumstances.
If 287g goes into effect in Waukesha, there will be more racial profiling of Latinos in Waukesha and simply picking up kids from school or driving to church or buying groceries will result in families being ripped apart.
Waukesha County is home to an estimated 24,000 Latino families. How many will leave because of the increased discrimination and the threat to themselves or their family members? Business will lose customers and close. Employers will lose workers, including those who commute from Milwaukee. According to the agreement signed by ICE and Sheriff Severson in February, Waukesha County will pay for virtually all of the expenses associated with the program: staff time, overtime, travel costs, litigation, even paper and pens. Is this how we want to spend our county resources? Tearing up families, promoting discrimination, and undermining trust in local law enforcement and the local economy?
Nationwide, Trump has massively expanded the number of local sheriff and police departments with 287g agreements, from 29 in 2016 to 76 today. Sheriff Severson’s actions will turn Waukesha Sheriff’s deputies into agents of Trump’s cruel and racist war on immigrants.
In 2017, Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke applied for 287g authorization, igniting massive protests, including a “Day without Latinos” joined by more than 50,000 people in February, and one of more than 30,000 last May 1st. Eventually, Clarke resigned under enormous pressure, and then in November 2017, his application was rejected outright. Now Sheriff Severson has taken up Clarke’s mantle.
If Sheriff Severson does move forward with 287g, I feel confident that his policy will be reversed in time. As happened to Sheriff Clarke, Sheriff Severson’s actions are inspiring the upsurge that will sweep these hateful policies aside. We will not only defeat 287g but win back driver licenses for Wisconsin’s immigrants. On May 1st, we saw Wisconsin’s future. We are all Waukesha.

The transformation of the auto industry is upon us. And it will become even more apparent in 2012 when large auto makers start mass producing electric cars. Forecasting the success of electric cars, we would have to predict that electric cars will gradually dominate the market. Let’s face it, oil is a limited resource and Americans will have to find an alternative source to power up their SUV’s. In fact, 5 years from now this question will seem silly, as projections indicate as many as 5.2 million electric vehicles will be sold globally by 2017. How will this affect businesses? Car insurance? Job Creation? Only time will tell. But in the meantime, let us indulge with the best electric cars to hit the market in 2012. Read on to find out.
For those eco-minded car consumers out there, options for electric vehicles have been quite limited. In 2012 next year, this will change. With so many new electric vehicles bursting into the market, there will be many to choose from, based on features, price range, charging power, and aesthetic design.
One of our favorites is the Ford Focus EV. Ford is in the works of releasing five new EV’s (Electric Vehicles) over the next three years, starting with the electric version of its introducing protg model, the Focus. This car will be able to run on 70 miles per charge, and only takes around 3 to 4 hours to be fully charged. In comparison to the Nissan Leaf, this new Ford Focus has already made some great improvements. It charges about half the time it takes to fully recharge the Leaf while also have similar capacities to be driven on about 70 miles per charge. With price, we can only assume that Ford will remain competitive to Nissan.
Next on our list, is the Toyota Rav 4 EV. While many auto manufacturers are choosing to scale down and produce smaller electric vehicle models, Toyota stays true to standard size. It maintains the overall measurement and design of the original Toyota Rav 4, which in itself is already a “Mini-Suv.” A bit on the pricey side, consumers will have to compare its features and functionalities to Mitsubishi’s i-MiEV, which offers a more attractive base MSRP tag, just under 28 grand. Mitsubishi has already released this model in other countries such as Japan, England and Australia, and is doing so successfully that it predicts high numbers in the American market. The compact 2,600 pound bubble shaped car is the lightest EV car to be introduced and also projected to be the least expensive in the realm of electric motor vehicles.
Our list would not be complete without mentioning the Volkswagen Single-Seat Electric Vehicle. You read right, single-seat. This car is designed to attract commuters and is one of the only EV cars to be sold with a snazzy option – renewable power source available. We’re not sure how electric cars with affect finding cheap car insurance, but we can only hope that certain things won’t change too drastically. If anything, car insurance quotes should go down, as electric cars are in general slower in terms of horsepower and eco-friendly consumers are not known to drive carelessly.

So, what I need to know is, am I overlooking something critical?Will this setup provide the best sound for under $500?Am I better off buying a dxa-8 or dxa-10 and the cheapest shotgun I can find?Should I just use adapters down to 1/8" instead of buying the MA-300?Will my on-board limiters work in this situation?Is the shockmount so crappy it's unuseable or can I modify the shockmount to make it useable?
Is the AT897 the right mic choice for my dialogue intensive, close-range filming?Is the AT897 not "hot" enough to use in this setup without requiring too much gain?Are there other mics I should consider in this setup?Anyone have familiarity with this kind of setup or another setup in the $500.- range?
All help is appreciated!Help me find the way to more respectable audio!

, Hilary and Jackie, Ali G, Gosford Park and Swimming Pool, and television programmes such as Rebecca, in which he played Maxim de Winter; Nicholas Nickleby, in which he played Ralph Nickleby, and most recently Fingersmith, have seen to that. "But I wouldn't consider myself wealthy. There is an assumption that because you are reasonably well known, you must have a lot of money, but that's not the case."
The problem, he says, is that English actors go to Hollywood and make vast amounts of money, and when they come back "they are bankable commodities, so everyone else has to be a damn sight cheaper".
Dance could have been one of those bankable commodities. After the success of The Jewel in the Crown he was described as the English Robert Redford, and everyone expected him to go to Hollywood. And while he made a few big blockbuster movies in the years after - The Golden Child, alongside Eddie Murphy, ThAlien 3 - they were not critical successes and he has since opted for more low-key - and largely, better - stuff.
"I've never actually wanted to go and hang out in Hollywood," he says, now, as we sit in the drawing-room of a west London hotel. In the early Eighties, he turned down the chance to audition for James Bond because he was worried how he would feel if he didn't get it. Does he regret that? "Ha! Some you win, some you lose. But I've got a kind of laissez faire attitude to the business. Or I have had."
This suggests, of course, that Dance is less relaxed about his career now than in the past. "Mmm. Yeah, I guess so. When you get to a certain age, work begins to thin out, so I think I have to be a bit more proactive."
It is for this reason that he turned his hand to directing., was released last year to much acclaim, and the offers to take the director's chair again have since poured in. But he is not sure that he is a director for hire, preferring instead to find his own projects. He has just finished adapting a book for the screen, and he hopes to start filming next spring. "I'm not going to tell you what it's about," he says. "It's contemporary. It's very different from Ladies in Lavender, put it that way. It's not about two old women in Cornwall."
Would he ever give up acting to direct full-time? "No! And I hope it doesn't give me up. I suppose if I had any sense I would write myself a thumping good part, but I'm not that much of a megalomaniac. I'm better off than some actors because, sometimes, work comes to me, but mostly I'm in the marketplace with all sorts of other people jostling for position, trying to get what few parts there are. People talk about the choices that actors make, when by and large the choice that we have is to work or not to work."
It seems odd that a man as seemingly calm and confident as Dance should suffer from such professional insecurity. But he does: ask him about the possibility of doing more theatre, and it all comes pouring out. "I get quite nervous about the theatre - and the more I do, the more nervous I get. The nerves start about one o'clock, which kind of f---s up your day.
"And I have a consistency problem. Some nights, I think I am good, some nights not so good. Peter O'Toole wrote in the first part of his autobiography about those nights when you're in the pub or the restaurant afterwards and people will come up to you and say: 'I thought you were marvellous, darling!' and you know you weren't."
In the late Eighties - when Alan Ayckbourn described Dance as a "matinée idol" - and throughout much of the Nineties, he seemed desperately keen to get away from being cast as the romantic leading man. As he nears his 60th birthday, he has finally managed it. He describes Tulkinghorn as "a complete s---, a vile, loathsome man", and his next role is in Starter for Ten, a film about a University Challenge team that is to be produced by Sam Mendes and Tom Hanks. "I play a father in it. I play fathers now," he laughs. "I think those romantic roles have got away from me, darling. There comes a point when one is a bit long in the tooth for them."
And yet life does not seem to be imitating art. Since Dance split from his wife of 33 years, Joanna, two years ago, he has been linked with a succession of women, including the 25-year-old actress Sophia Myles. Their relationship earlier this year made Dance a regular feature in the gossip columns.
Not surprisingly, he does not want to talk about his personal life. "Just because I do the job I do and am in the public eye, that doesn't mean that the whole of my life is up for discussion. I know absolutely nothing about your private life. How would you feel if a neighbour knocked on your door and said: 'Are you seeing that chap from down the road? What's his name? How long have you been going out for?' You'd think: 'What's it got to do with you?' And that's my attitude. And when the end result is a newspaper story that is full of wild inaccuracies, and when they go and knock on my ex-wife's door, I just think: 'Oh, come on'."
He is baffled by the younger actors he has encountered who hire publicists to keep them in the media spotlight. "They pay them a thousand pounds a month or something, just to keep them in the newspapers. If the work generates publicity, then that's OK. But if you are trying to make publicity generate work, well that's a fatal mistake." And one that Dance, thank goodness, will not be making.
• 'Bleak House' begins on BBC1 later this month </s> Shares in Anglo American rose by 27½ or 1.4pc in London trading to close up at £20.28 on the news that - as reported in the Sunday Telegraph - the mining veteran would replace outgoing chief Cynthia Carroll on April. </s> Once in a while a story comes along and just bangs away on the heartstrings like a drunk at a piano. The old engineers who insisted on going into the faltering Fukushima in place of the younger men, for example, or the woman who found her dog after the Oklahoma tornado.
Now this: the news that Richard Madden, best known as Robb Stark in Game of Thrones, has been upbraided for sitting with his legs too far apart on the Tube.
I feel his pain. Not only am I a fan of the series, but I too have suffered for misjudging my draught on the Underground. Right now the actor will still be in denial, but over time he may come to accept his guilt and resolve to splay himself less obtusely in future.
In many of the pictures there is nobody next to the offending specimen. When it comes to crotch-display, context is all. I dislike an elbow in the face as much as anyone, but who am I to question a woman's right to apply eyeliner if the carriage is empty? Put differently, if a man spreads himself on an empty Metropolitan Line train and there are no bloggers there, who cares?
In more crowded carriages, naturally, different rules apply. The main problem occurs when the designated space is too small for the person sitting in it. Sometimes this is the fault of the person, sometimes it's the fault of the space, and it is certainly one area in which men are at a physical disadvantage over women. Plenty

Got an itch to play Dungeons & Dragons? Maybe been inspired by Stranger Things or been watching Critical Role? Maybe you have tried D&D but have struggled to get players together in person frequently enough and want to try online to reduce the barriers to playing?
This article will get you ready to play D&D online with your friends anywhere in the world in just 30 minutes, read on to get started.
What else do I need: A computer and an internet connection, that’s it!
In essence, D&D is real-time collaborative storytelling. You and a group of friends travel through a fantastical realm, each taking on the role of a unique “character” that you have created. You can choose if they are a hero, an anti-hero, or a downright villain. You and your friend's characters will join together to form a “party” that will embark on a series of adventures (sometimes called a “campaign”) that are usually linked together with a story arc. Think Stranger Things or Lord of the Rings but with your own character as the protagonist, and this time the story is created in real-time based on the choices you make.
The really cool thing in D&D is this freedom of choice - your character can choose to do literally anything (or at least anything that the character is in theory capable of). Deliberately get swallowed by the monster so that you can fight your way out from the inside? Yep, it’s possible. Use magic to turn your feeble wizard into a raging King Kong sized ape to tear the demons apart? It happened at my table a few weeks ago. It is this total freedom, coupled with the rich fantasy setting of magic and monsters that many people fall in love with in D&D.
Ok so if you don’t already have a few willing buddies, this step is a little more involved, but still easy enough to tackle. You only need 2 people to play to start with but having 3 or 4 of you is ideal. More than 5 can get a little unwieldy when you are starting out. Decide which of you will be the Dungeon Master (DM, also sometimes referred to as Game Master or GM). This person will have a little more to do than the others initially but the role can be rotated. The DM is the facilitator and helps coordinate the collaborative storytelling, everyone else is a “player”.
I don’t have a group already - what should I do?
So D&D is traditionally a tabletop game, but this guide assumes you want to play online (perhaps you’re remote from your other players or you just like the online experience). There are several very good “Virtual Table Top” (VTT) apps out there now. The most popular, and probably the most accessible to get started on is called Roll20. Head over to Roll20.net and set yourself up with a free account.
Now you have an adventuring company and you are set up for online play - huzzah! But where should we seek adventure you ask?
Whoever has taken on the privileged role of Dungeon Master will need to read the digital material you have just bought on Roll20. This does require a bit of time but is an important step, especially the first time you are running a particular adventure. If you have some experience, you can skim read in around 30 minutes, but for most people will take a bit longer. Put aside an hour or two and enjoy this important build-up step. We are kicking off after this!
Let’s go through and tackle each of these in turn.
If all of your players already know you and each other, then this step can be skipped! If not, get a round of coffees and teas and introduce everyone!
In the starter set that you have just acquired, there is a set of ready-to-go, premade characters. It is possible to make your own characters at this point, however, for the first game I recommend that you go ahead and pick one of these premade characters. Have a leaf through them as a group and agree on who will take which character. Each player should have a good read through their sheet and give their new character a name. The DM should give a little overview of the character sheet sections (as best they can!), introducing high-level game mechanics such as how to attack and cast spells, and how the ability scores and skills are used.
D&D is a fantasy game with magic, monsters, and battle. Just like with movies, each player around the table will have a different level of tolerance for graphic violence, scariness, and so on. Since in D&D literally anything is possible, this can sometimes lead the game into funny, strange, or downright dark places!
If you prefer another audio/video tool such as Zoom or Discord, then feel free to adopt that as an alternative to the Roll20 Video/Audio. Note that if you do this you will have 2 windows when you are playing instead of one, and also that the DM will need to switch off video/audio in the Roll20 game settings.
Finally, before you close out Session zero, don’t forget to organise the next session to kick off in the game (or if you all have time, feel free to roll straight into it!).
Step 5: Get Playing!
That’s it! You are now all set to get playing so go ahead and log onto Roll20 and join your game!
The final and most important point: the rules of D&D are there as guidelines and so if you are unsure, or you are mid-game and don’t want to get lost looking up rules, then it is totally ok to ad-lib with your own interpretation, using the dice to decide what happens in a particular situation. The DM is in charge of this, but on collaborative tables, you can usually come to an agreement on an approach pretty quickly. Even the most seasoned DMs do this in almost every session they run so it is a good thing to get used to! The only rule in D&D that is set in stone is to have fun!
Happy adventuring, and may the dice be kind!

Is there such a thing as a “best watch”? The problem is a $30.00 Casio Wave Ceptor is accurate to about 1/4 of a second per month and a $40,000.00 Rolex chronometer is only accurate to about 1 minute a month (if that), so how does one judge “the best watch”? Every two to three years the Rolex needs to be sent to a certified service center to be cleaned and adjusted at a cost of about $1500.00. The Casio requires a $5.00 battery in about the same time period and I have had mine for almost 10 years with no problems. This makes the parts look pretty but actually does nothing to improve the way a watch works. I guess the question could also be, who makes the prettiest watch or which watch has the best looking dial?
I like your question because it makes one stop and think about what a customer is actually paying for when they buy a watch.

“Vietnam is a dynamic and rapidly growing aviation market. The successful development of aviation will pay big dividends to the Vietnamese economy. It must be treated as a strategic asset and handled correctlsed by IATA and Vietnam Airlines. Aviation contributes US$6 billion to Vietnam’s GDP and supports over 230,000 jobs.
Infrastructure is a critical component of the air transport sector which needs improvement. Vietnam ranks 82nd in the InfrastructureAmong the ten ASEAN states, Vietnam is ranked sixth. The country is addressing these low rankings with significant investments. It has announced an aviation master plan to have 26 airports by 2020. Expansion programmes are underway at Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh airports, with the new Long Thanh International Airport to be ready by 2020.
While encouraged by the positive steps taken to improve Vietnam’s infrastructure, IATA current structure and ownership of Vietnam’s airports. Vietnam has indicated plans to open its airports to foreign investment and management, and to privatize the Airports Corporation of Vietnam. “While airport privatisation can provide access to the capital needed for infrastructure programs, we have seen enough spectacular examples of unintended negative consequences to urge caution. The most common being unjustified increases in charges or under-investment in the CAPEX plan as the private operator tries to squeeze out profit,” said Tyler.
“To balance the market power of privatised airports, Vietnam needs to establish an effective independent economic regulator that is in line with well-established international norms. That should bring about fair charging schemes s. Lower charges will also improve the viability of routes and allow Vietnam to reap the benefits from enhanced connectivity and increased traffic,” said Tyler. IC, and consultation with users.

modern briefcases. Its uniqueness comes from water resistance, durability and, obviously it's neat and great look. To preserve these qualities for a lifetime, we have to take care of it. Through experience, we have found our approach towards leather care that really works. Below, we have put together the five most useful leather care tips which we think will make your leather bag last longer and look greater than you can even imagine!
Also, never try using a hair dryer or anything like that on your leather item. Instead, let it dry slowly by using a leather drying cloth, preferably made from natural chamois. We also advise you to keep your leather bag in the shape which you want to it to end up in when drying, as wet leather may change its form when dried carelessly.
When leather is too dry it will eventually start to crack and lose its qualities, therefore, in the end, it will not look so great. To prevent this,'
Don't over-moisturize either, because it does as much damage as not moisturizing at all; constantly applying too much moisturizer will turn the leather into mush. Iis.
Never use toxic chemical substances, because this may result in changing chemistry of the leather, which will affect its qualities and look. Do it daily: this will prevent the leather from staining and set aside any possible problems associated with it.
This leather care tip is extremely important: as a silicone layer will evaporate away, the silicon oil remains. This substance causes leather to dry out and is hard to remove from the leather once it has been laid on the surface of the leather. </s> The Civil War Ended 150 Years Ago – Or Did It?

Presenting exhibit A: a cool dude.
Well, craft bunny is probably a dude. I always just assumed, and didn’t think it was polite to ask. And he’s cool, no denying that. So for all intents and purposes, we have here a cool dude.
Dudes are notoriously difficult to craft for. For some reason the embroidery industry hasn’t much tried to cater to dudes, and likewise they don’t seem to be too crazy about the idea of cute applique bunnies sewn onto their shirts. So, largely they have been ignored, which is a shame, because many of you have boyfriends, husbands and sons, or maybe you’re even a crafty dude yourself, and there’s very little out there for guys’ fashion. Well Urban Threads is a brave new world for guys and gals alike, and it’s time for the guys to get their fair share of crafty goodness. Today I’ll show you how to make a super hip guy’s shirt using dude-friendly designs and techniques.
To make your cool dude shirt, we’re going to pull out all the stops, and use a whole arsenal of crafty techniques, including embroidery, stenciling, bleaching, and artistic stitching. Combining all the techniques in our arsenal will help to cater to those hard to please, skeptical-about-crafting guys, and create a super hip shirt you’d pay hundreds of dollars for in a high-end store. By the way, all these ideas are great for girls’ shirts too.
To make your shirt, you’ll need a guy’s plain button-up shirt, some freezer paper, a spray bottle, bleach, an X-acto blade, some fun patching fabric, and some Urban Threads designs. I’m using a couple of embroidery designs, and one stock art design as a stencil.
I always find I get best results when I work with what the shirt already has to offer. The shirt I found has cool deep red contrast stitching, and some neat back and fourth stitch patterns that add a bit of interest. I thought I’d use these already present ideas in the shirt and use them to guide color and style choices. That way when your shirt is finished it will all work together as one cohesive design.
I decided in honor of our new guys’ western design I’m going to embroider on the back, I’d go with a grunge western theme. I thought I’d start with the bleach stencil first. I grabbed our other western design, somewhat ironically called Cowgirl, Baby. I removed the flower on the design, and it seemed manly enough.
When you flip your freezer paper back over, you should be able to see your design from the other side. Time to grab those X-acto blades!
I thought it would be fun to play with a negative image of the design when I bleached it, so I cut out all the dark parts of the image instead of all the white. Be sure to keep those loose “floating” pieces somewhere safe as you cut them out. If this looks a bit familiar to you, it’s because it’s quite similar to the technique we used to make our stencil printed hoodie.
Here’s my design all cut out and ready, with the floating pieces put roughly back in place. What’s nice about this kind of stencil is that if you’re careful when you’re done bleaching with it, you can probably use it again.
Carefully place your stencil where you want it on your shirt, waxy side down. I put mine down on the lower left front of the shirt.
With your design resting on top of your shirt, stamp down on it with a hot iron. The wax will heat up and gently stick to your shirt, forming a firm seal against the bleach. Don’t try stamping everything at once, place the largest stencil piece down first, and then stamp the “floating” pieces down one at a time to get the best placement results.
Once your stencil is ready, it’s time to get your bleach mix ready. Mix one part bleach to one part water in your spray bottle. You don’t need a whole lot of bleach mix unless you plan on saturating your whole shirt.
Before you begin, you’ll want to have some sort of water source nearby, to be able to stop the bleaching process as soon as it’s far enough along. Have a large bowl of water or a sink nearby.
Spray a light mist of bleach around your freezer paper stencil. Don’t worry if it’s messy, that’s part of the look. You can let big drops of bleach fall here and there, giving it a cool “grunge” look. The bleach usually only takes a few seconds before you can see results. Once your shirt has bleached visibly to your liking, rinse your design thoroughly under some water to stop the bleaching process. Don’t leave the bleach on too long. Bleach can eat through light fabrics such as cotton, if you leave it on long enough.
Here’s my bleached design once I patted it dry. The splatter bleach effect has a cool edgy look to it. The shirt also bleached cool stripes into my design. Lots on unexpected things can happen with bleach, but let them be happy accidents. Let them guide how you design your shirt.
For instance, I thought since the last black fabric I bleached turned red, this one would too, matching the red stitched accents already on the shirt. Instead it turned a cool rusty orange, and so I found some thread to match the new bleached color and incorporated it into my shirt design later.
To keep your shirt balanced, I think it’s nice to have another spot on your shirt that has the same bleached color as the stencil design. A great way of doing this is “patching” stuff. Rough edge patches are a popular new accent on shirts, and we can use that to our advantage...
If you’re not sure what color to stitch your design, look to your shirt for inspiration. My shirt had dark red seams, so I copied those colors. If your shirt doesn’t have any decorative seams, try a tone-on tone design. For men’s fashion, subtle stitching can keep it from getting overwhelming. Instead of a bold design, you’ll have a cool textural effect that adds a touch of class to the shirt.
If your shirt has pockets, I’ll show you a neat trick for embroidering borders on pocket flaps.
Pin down the edges of the pocket and the excess shirt to keep everything in place. Keep the pins as far away as possible from where the design is going to stitch.
It may help to use a printed template of the design in order to know if it will fit or not. I’m using some good old fashioned punky barbed wire.
Snip off the excess stabilizer and stitching right at the edge of your pocket, cutting through the design. Snip off the rest of the extra stabilizer so it’s not visible from the pocket side.
In order to bring some of the red stitching color back into the large orange expanse, I patched the “punk” mini near the skull design. Using the same color thread I used to stitch the design, I stitched around the edges of the patch a couple times.
The side of shirt sleeves is a popular place to add patches or designs on men’s shirts. Because there’s no way of hooping a sleeve unless you rip it open, patching it a great way to add a design here. You’ll probably have to remove the extra part of your machine to fit the sleeve underneath. I used the same red color to stitch a seam around the patch, and then added some fun zigzag accents.
Here’s what my patch looked like after I added the fun accents. The rough edges and hand stitched details add a lot of style and character to your shirt. Youdetails on store-bought shirts.
Grab some fabric that’s roughly the same color as your shirt. Using matching colors but contrasting fabrics is another fun way to add funky accents to your shirt.
Cut a piece of fabric that’s about 1/2 inch larger than your hole, and pin it in place, making sure it overlaps all the edges. Sew a seam around your new patch, making sure it catches all sides of the hole. I stitched one seam in the usual red color, and then found some other thread that matched the rust orange color of the bleached fabric and sewed another decorative seam. Once it’s stitched, you can rough up the edges of your patch by rubbing a fingernail along the edge.
Your shirt is finished! At least, if you want it to be. Now you know all sorts of tricks for stenciling, bleaching, embroidering, and patching, you can combine these techniques in as many ways as you can imagine to come up with a truly awesome shirt and guy would be proud to wear. We’re not talking fluffy bunnies this time – these shirts are truly one of a kind, hip and handmade.
This rough edge grunge look is great for girls and gals alike. I would have loved to make a shirt like this for myself, but the point was to demonstrate guys’ fashion, so I guess I’ll just have to make another one.
By combining lots of the crafting techniques, and utilizing not just embroidery but stock art, you can create multi-layered effects on clothes that cost a fortune in boutiques! Plus, by blending it in with features your shirt already has, no one will ever be able to tell where the shirt begins and your embellishments end.
You know how to bleach in cool stencils for a professional screen printed effect you can achieve with the simple household ingredients of freezer paper and bleach...
You can add awesome embroidery embellishments anywhere on the shirt, through normal hooping, special ninja techniques for things like pockets, and even patching for those parts you just can’t figure out how to hoop.
Your embroidery machine can be used to make wicked cool clothes for both guys and gals. Guys are just as into the handmade movement, just as long as they know it can be done without involving appliqué bunnies. Plus in this economy, stitching up your own designer shirts is a super swank and thrifty way to still look your best.

One of the leading indices of the European economy, CAC 40 continues to moderately strengthen against the background of the publication of the ECB's monetary policy report.
The instrument was supported by the positive rhetoric of the regulator. The forecast for real GDP growth by the end of the year is expected to reach 1.3% against the current value of 0.8%. HICP annual inflation fell to 1.2%, and a further decrease due to low energy prices is expected in the coming months. Market indicators of long-term inflation expectations fell to a new record low, while the five-year forward swap rate in the EU associated with inflation was five years ahead of it by 0.92% on March 10, 2020. At the end of the report, the ECB announced the next LTRO III support program for 120 billion euros.
Among the components of the index, the growth leaders are Sodexo SA (+12.90%), Safran (+6.16%), BNP Paribas (+5.38%), Engie (+4.92%). Among the declining companies are Carrefour (–3.20%), Michelin (–0.98%).
The index continues corrective growth within the local Triangle pattern. For almost the entire week, the index trades near the pattern’ resistance line but cannot break it. Both technical indicators are in a state of purchase, and further growth is only a matter of time.
After correctional growth or consolidation above the resistance line around 4600.0, buy positions with a target at 5100.0 and stop loss of 4300.0 will be relevant.
After 4300.0, sell positions with the target at 3970.0 will be relevant. Stop loss is above local support, around 4500.0.

3.Scott of Foscote whose opinion I have read in draft.
5. The limitation of actions is entirely statutory. The first statute was The Limitations Act 1623 (21 Jac 1, c 16). For almost four centuries, therefore, it has been the policy of the legislature that legal proceedings should be brought, if at all, within a prescribed period from the accrual of the cause of action. The statutes of limitation have been described as "statutes of peace". They are regarded as beneficial enactments and are construed liberally.
8. Section 32(1)(b) of the 1980 Act postpones the commencement of the limitation period where
The rationale for this is less clear, but becomes apparent from the case law on earlier statutes.
10. In Brocklesby v Armitage & Guest (Note) [2002] 1 WLR 598 the plaintiff claimed that the defendants, who were a firm of solicitors, had negligently failed to procure his release from his mortgage obligations. The defendants were not accused of any impropriety or deliberate wrongdoing or of having deliberately concealed anything from the plaintiff. They denied that the plaintiff was their client or that they owed him any duty of care, and denied that they had been negligent in any event. They also pleaded that the action was statute-barred. In his reply the plaintiff sought to rely on section 32(2) of the Act, but he did not and could not allegey had been negligent.
Brocklesby v Armitage & Guest was follow Inc v Goldberg [2001] 1 All ER 182, wgiven it negligent tax advice. The defendant denied that his advice had been wrong, let alone negligently wrong. Following the decision in the Brocklesby case, Laddie J held that it was sufficient to bring the case within section 32(2) that the defendant had intentionally given the advice in question and that (if negligent) it amounted to a breach of duty; it was not necessary that he should have appreciated that his advice was wrong or that he had been negligent. Even if all the facts are known to a plaintiff, the judge held,ach is unlikely to be discovered for some time results in a legal fiction, namely that the facts are unknown.
15. For my own part, I do not accept that all the facts were known to the plaintiff in the Goldberg case, for it did not know that the advice was wrong. But neither did the defendant. Nor will that fact be known to either party until the case is tried on the merits. The effect of Brocklesby v Armitage & Guest is to deprive a professional man, charged with having given negligent advice and who denies that his advice was wrong let alone negligent, of any effective limitation defence. However stale the claim, he must defend the action on the merits, for he will not have the benefit of a limitation defence unless he can show that his advice was not negligent. This subverts the whole purpose of the Limitation Acts. The harshness of the rule is evident. In the absence of any intentional wrongdoing on his part, it is neither just nor consistent with the policy of the Limitation Acts to expose a professional man to a claim for negligence long after he has retired from practice and has ceased to be covered by indemnity insurance.
16. The decision in the Brocklesby case by the Law Commission. In the present case a full Court of Appeal [2002] 1 WLR 581 expressed strong reservations about the decision but considered themselves bound by it. They noted, at p 589, that it was an unreserved judgment in a case in which numerous authorities both judicial and textbook were not cited:
20. Lord Denning MR explained the meaning of the expression "concealed by the fraud of [the defendant or his agent]" in King v Victor Parsons & Co [1973] 1 WLR 29, 33-34 as follows:
22. In Beaman v ARTS Ltd [1949] 1 KB 550 active concealment was not alleged. But the defendants were guilty of conversion, an intentional tort, and had failed to inform the plaintiff of what they had done. Quoting, at pp 559-560, from the judgment of Lord James of Hereford in Bulli Coal Mining Co v Osborne [1899] AC 351 363-364 the Court of Appeal held that active concealment was not necessary if the defendant was accused of intentional wrongdoing in circumstances where he could "safely calculate on not being found out for many a long day."
24. Given that section 32(2) is (or at least may be) required to cover cases of non-disclosure rather than active concealment, the reason for limiting it to the deliberate commission of a breach of duty becomes clear. It is only where the defendant is aware of his own deliberate wrongdoing that it is appropriate to penalise him for failing to disclose it.. B.
26. That this is the meaning of section 32(2) is supported by the text. In the first place, the subsection itself distinguishes between the breach of duty and the facts involved in the breach of duty. In the second place, where a defendant is charged with negligence, his breach of duty consists of his failure to take reasonable care. The tax adviser who inadvertently fails to take account of a provision in the latest Finance Act may well incur liability for negligence. But his breach of duty does not consist of giving the advice (which is deliberate and of which he is aware) or even of giving erroneous advice (which is not deliberate and of which he is unaware). It consists of his failure to take reasonable care, which is unlikely to be deliberate and of which he is unlikely to be aware. If he afterwards discovers the error and deliberately conceals it from the plaintiff, his conduct may come within section 32(1)(b); but while he remains ignorant of the error and of his own inadvertent breach of duty, there is nothing for him to disclose. In my opinion such conduct cannot be brought within section 32(2).
30. I, I too would allow the appeal.
33. The essential facts of the present case that are relevant to the section 32(2) issue can be shortly stated.
38. Mr Cave served a reply that, in its re-amended form, took two section 32 points. It was alleged, first, that the solicitors' failure to answer Mr Cave's letters in 1995 and 1996 constituted "deliberate concealment" for the purposes of section 32(1)(b). The second point was the section 32(2) point. The reply alleged:
39. Section 32 of the Act provides, so far as relevant:

Shocker, this absurdly expensive Martha's Vineyard summer rental, the work of local architecture firm Hutker Architects, has plenty of availability. In fact, it doesn't look like any weeks have been booked for 2015. We previously wrote about the stunning spread for Renter's Week 2013 when the Edgartown listing was asking a mind-bogglingly expensive $60,000 per week with a two-week minimum. This year, the Architectural Digest-featured property remains absolutely gorgeous and completely tricked-out with every possible amenity, but now wants an incredible $150,000 for two weeks.

The post unfurls the story of a $6 million libel judgment against the Raleigh News and Observer. The judgment — including six figures for punitive damages — hinged on the internal communications between N&O staffers prior to publication of a damning peek into the State Bureau of Investigations. I’m talking about emails. The court read emails between newspaper colleagues, and that led the jury to decide the newspaper acted with malice.

We/w How old were you?
My female cousin always wore Pantyhose & Tights. She would wear to school everyday. I lived how her legs looked. After school, I stayed at my aunties house to do homework and my cousin would be shoe-less in hose. My auntie noticed that I would stare at her legs and feet and she asked if I be interested in trying on some tights….
For me, pantyhose is a fashion lifestyle, not really a sexual thing for me. It’s because pantyhose for me is about fashion. I think guys look great wearing pantyhose and tights.
No it’s not frustrating at all. My hose friends that I meet up with say that I’m lucky to have that much self control.
Do you have pantyhose sex?
You mean athletic.
That’s called athletic.
Sporty guys are laid back, easy going and more open minded…from my experience.
Do you identify with the online community of male pantyhose wearers at all?
Do you think you’re very experienced?
Most of the guys that say they are into hose are more focused on “sexual side” of pantyhose fetish. Pantyhose lifestyle (for me) is about fashion look.
Yes, but that is not what I asked.
I like photos of guys wearing hose with natural men’s clothes. When I see photos of aroused bodies in hose is not what I’m looking for.
So I’m assuming you don’t want to answer the previous two questions? do you think you are very experienced (with men)?
If it’s sex….I’m only experienced with who I had that time with. I’m a male that wears pantyhose 24/7, ever since I was 10. I’m now 46, so that’s 36 yrs of wearing pantyhose openly, so YES, I’m experienced about pantyhose.
Smooth and shimmering pantyhose are a definite turn on. We all enjoyed the sensual touch of the smooth and silky pantyhose filled with joy and happiness.

Piminute drive up the hill and back to the east at Lake on the Mountain just past the park next door in Prince Edward County, Ontario.
As I mentioned recently, I have started a category for Prince Edward County wine because, well, it is tasty and nearby. While we have three actual production breweries, excepting Ottawa, in eastern Ontario there are over thirty wineries in PEC just over that wee ferry. Once I was up the hill and past the park, the sign for the winery soon came into view. Up a lane and past house, there was a parking lot by the barn with rows of grapes stretching out to the south.
Inside the barn, there's a retail stop you duck under a beam to enter and a very helpful staff person. I picked this wine out for maybe 24 or 26 bucks. I picked this one just out of the sheer curiosity of finding the grape growing so close to my house. I was smart to do so even if opening it now is likely infanticide. After writing about beer so long what do I say? That it suffers from incredibly low levels of carbonation or that it's the colour of kriek? It's actually light for what I am used to in a Cab Sauv, not like the deep purple reds of a mass Aussie or Chilean plonk made with the grape after beaten down in the heat of the sun down under. I am going to say cherry juice red. Scent? Maybe cherry, raspberry and a little cigar or rather a bit of raspberry jam spread on on leather baseball gloves. More of the same in my mouth with maybe rosemary, tangerine and cedar… which may be expected given the local forest growth with bracing tannic. Tart berry woodsy finish.
Both Hugh Johnson and Oz Clarke mention PEC in their 2013 guides as a newer upcoming wine zone. But not the Cabernet Sauvignon. And Devil's Wishbone is too new for the latest edition of Crush on Niagara, the surely needing renaming guide to Ontario wines by Andrew Brooks from 2009. But it's handy to my place and on the way.
Are Contract Brewers Posing As Gypsy Brewers?
Now call me goofy, but I do think words should have meaning and my understanding that a contract brewer hires someone else to make their beer while a gypsy brewer uses the surplus time on the brewing equipment of another to make a separate line of beer. In each case, the owner of the brewing equipment does not own the beer… unless that is part of the behind the scenes deal to get access to the equipment. The contract may or may not include marketing, shipping and the rest. Depends on the terms of the contract, doesn't it. Pretty Things, for eastern North American example, does not own its own brewery but makes the decisions so it is an example of the gypsy. These BAers have been forming a shortish list of likely actual suspects. You can provide your thoughts and accusations on that as you feel appropriate in the comments.
But there is something else to note. The fudging of the idea is alleged in the article to be based on the brilliant linguists of the Brewers Association whose recent work has been noted. The two ideas are muddled here, too. I am not sure that is correct, however, from this BA webpage which clearly described contract brewing for what it is – despite some of the other head scratcher definitions in there. Why would one widen the definition of "gypsy brewer" to include anyone who hires someone else to make beer? Because "gypsy brewer" sounds neato and swell while the more accurate "contract brewer" is laden with… accuracy? The trend towards adulteration of the language in the name of good beer is a bit weird, isn't it.
This is not a crack at all against the project which I suspect includes far more hands on involvement than a contract brewer would sully themselves with. But there is something unseemly even needy in all the slipperiness, isn't there. Again,.
Interestingly, as Smith points out in his book, this only means that the Feds have the power to conclude treaties not to implement them. Where the subject matter is not in the list of subject matters assigned to the Federal Parliament, it is up to the Provinces to implement. And, in any event, the power relates to foreign countries. What was the nature of the "in Empire" domestic treaty that the British and then Canada happily signed from East to West as European Canada asserted itself? Mr. Harper is asserting that whatever it is, it is something that section 91(24) assigns to Parliament and he is the head of Parliament. Clearly an argument available to be made. Because he, like the G.-G. represents the Crown in his own way, too.
I have a few things burbling away. First in line, as you know, Albany ale needs to be properly addressed – especially given Craig's more detailed research and clearer organization of the topic. Having stumbled upon the forgotten center of brewing of America before the lager invasion, it's worthy of a proper job. But I had a rotten 2012. Things got in the way of good intentions and an even better topic. Time passed. Colds and flues came in and out of the house. The cat died. And I watched as Boak and Bailey gave hints that they were doing some long writing about beer in post-WWII Britain. Funk deepened. Not that I have lusted for authorship but there are bigger ideas than a blog can capture.
I must say we are both very excited with this. We've been exchanging e-mails like two long distance lovers (minus the raunchy pics, fortunately) in order to give a shape to this project. It's still too soon to say how long it'll be or when it'll be ready. What we are sure of, though,that's so far been written about beer. The topics we are going to deal with, well, I guess those that follow our blogs can pretty much figure them out, and they will all be wrapped in a fun and perhaps rather surrealist narrative. The first words have already been smithed, the journey has just begun. We'll see where it takes us. Be ready.
…I must institute a similar policy with any experimental beer using crazy ingredients. I'm going to start from the position that anything that might plausibly be sold as a candy bar, salad, or entree is not worth drinking.
See that? That's a position being taken. And one that makes sense. If you think about it, if the experimental beer is based on the adding of "not beer" to "beer" it is clearly a distancing of itself from beer. A dilution. A covering up. A distraction. One need not inaugurate the Protz Shield and Papazian Cup to point out the weakness in a trend or a shape shifting of the market. So, I take up Jeff's policy and ask you to consider doing the same thing. Maybe 2013 is the year we can put the focus back on the beeriness of beer.
I've become a firm adherent of the notice that wine is for drinking, not tasting. Only by drinking, swallowing, savoring, and returning to a wine, and repeating the process over time, can one really get a full and complete idea of what's in a bottle and what the wine is all about. A taste is fine if you believe that understanding a bottle consists of writing down impressions of aromas and flavors. It's like buying music over the Internet – if a fifteen-second snippet offered everything you needed to know, why pay for the whole song.
More than that, how about taking on a small project of trying wines or spirits… or maybe nuts and cheeses as an adjunct to your interest in good beer. Or just a sort of wine. Since I have been trying various lower cost dry sparking wines like Spanish cava I have come to a point where I think of them a lot like the drier sorts of saison. I have also come to think of lightly sweeter wine like you find in a German spätlese is a good reference point to appreciate some of the implications of residual malt in a beer world a bit mad with hop acid. It's all the knowledge so why not? Is it any different from knowing about your local cheeses, meats, breads, or garden produce? Not to mention if you are this sort of foodie.
Wine v. beer? Why bother fighting when wine and beer offers a much broader, more interesting range of flavours. Me, I am going to focus on a few things but one will be the fact that I live very near a wine region that is taking off and that offers many more options than an hour and a half's drive for good beer does. See, as I mentioned last summer, my local beverage is in large part actually wine. And there's some pretty good stuff over there in Prince Edward County. Expect a few more posts on local wine in 2013. How about you? What is worth writing about in addition to good beer near you?

"I knew when I signed with Dallas that if I got sent down I would be coming back here. I asked to come back here," Stafford said. "It's definitely where I want to be if I'm going to be in the AHL.
As the Dallas Stars have no AHL affiliate, they assigned Stafford and forwards Landon Wilson and Aaron Gagnon to Grand Rapids. Both players should bolster the team's scoring, and Griffins GM Bob McNamara received the latter two players via a little negotiating:
"They knew we had Garrett here last year and they knew he was comfortable with us," McNamara said. "As we talked, we talked about some other players and Landon Wilson's name came up and Aaron Gagnon's. They needed to find places for their guys."
Goaltender Jimmy Howard tested his broken finger in Grand Rapids on Wednesday afternoon. He said it was difficult to hold his stick at times, but hopes it will heal in the next 7-10 days.

Already-squeezed motorists fear they could be hit with further price rises as the government today refused to rule out lifting the fuel duty freeze as it looks to boost funding for the NHS.
During Treasury questions, the Treasury Minister, Mel Stride MP was asked about the fuel duty freeze to help support the NHS.
But the MP failed to rule out the move, meaning this would see drivers contend with higher pump prices as well as already increased insurance premium tax.
In November’s 2017 Budget, the Chancellor announced the expected fuel duty rise would be cancelled for the eighth year in a row, saving drivers an average of £160 a year. It remained at 57.95p per litre for both petrol and diesel.
But this has now been thrown into doubt. RAC head of roads policy, Nicholas Lyes, said UK motorists already pay some of the highest fuel duties in Europe – with VAT also charged on every litre of fuel sold.
Lyes added that for many people, the car is essential, especially where public transport is patchy or it simply isn’t practical to walk or use another form of transport.
Luke Bosdet, AA fuel price spokesperson, said motorists have already put up with a 25p a litre increase in the cost of petrol since the winter of 2015/16 and as such, “families don’t have the slack in their personal or familys”.

**Continuity Errors and Mistakes:** Susannah's mother's name is Sarah in this book, whereas it was Alice before. Eddie's sister was Selena in _The Drawing of the Three_ , but now it's Gloria. Co-Op City is really in the Bronx, not in Brooklyn. The Metropolitan Museum of Art is on the east side of Central Park, not near Times Square.
**Crossovers to Other Works:** _Rose Madder_ , the book published immediately after _The Waste Lands_ , refers to the bodies hanging from poles in Lud. Richard Fannin is another aspect of Randall Flagg from _The Stand_. He forces the Tick-Tock Man to adulate him in the words of Trashcan Man: My life for you.
**Foreshadowing and Spoilers:** The fact that the knees Jake scraped in his dream were scraped when he awoke is a sign that he went todash. Susannah's sexual encounter with the demon in the Speaking Circl_ka-tet_. Jake's key has the same hypnotic power as a certain turtle figurine that will appear later in the series. Aunt Talitha's cross will play a part in the story, too, and might even end up where she intended. The array of colored lights inside the Tick-Tock Man's lair is reminiscent of the oriel window atop the Dark Tower. "The wheel which turns our lives is remorseless; always it comes around to the same place again" is as close to a thematic statement as there is in the series. When Eddie asks Roland to tell them how he learned about the Dark Tower in the first place, Roland responds that it's a very long story that he will tell only once. This sets the stage for _Wizard and Glass_. Calvin Tower and Aaron Deepneau will become important secondary characters in the series starting with _Wolves of the Calla_.
# _W IZARD AND GLASS_: REGARD
Though King promised in the afterword to _The Waste Lands_ that the fourth volume in the series would appear in the not-too-distant future, years passed with no sign that he had returned to the series. Many of his other novels had Dark Tower tie-ins, though, so the series was clearly on his mind. As early as 1994, he expressed a plan to write the final four books back-to-back to finish the series.
The fans grew increasingly demanding. Every week, his assistants put on his desk all the angry letters he received demanding the next book in the series. One of the more creative pleas had a Polaroid of a teddy bear in chains, threatening to execute the bear unless King released the next Dark Tower book. At once. In 1996, he promised fans they would have to wait only another year or so. He simply had to summon his courage to start. Plus he had to review the first three novels, armed with a highlighter and sticky notes.
He started writing in motel rooms while driving from Colorado to Maine after finishing work on _The Shining_ miniseries. Ads announcing the book's upcoming publication appeared in the back of the final four installments of his serial novel, _The Green Mile_.
The first two chapters of _Wizard and Glass_ were released as a promotional booklet that accompanied bundles of his twin novels, _Desperation_ and _The Regulators_. Though this delighted fans, there was some complaining, too, as many people had already purchased the books. King chastised the complainers in a harshly worded message posted by his publisher on the Usenet newsgroup alt.books.stephen-king. Penguin released the chapters on their Web site two months later.
King read from the novel at a conference in October, stating that the first draft was more than fourteen hundred pages long. _Wizard and Glass_ , dedicated to his personal assistants and published in August 1997, proved to be the longest book of the series. The Donald M. Grant limited-trade edition was the first book from a small press publisher to ever appearThe trade paperback appeared a few months later.
The novel picks up where _The Waste Lands_ left off, repeating the final section of the earlier book to bring readers up to speed. In terms of the contemporary action, the book covers a four- or five-day period, although there is some uncertainty due to the slippage of time when Roland is telling his story and because of an adventure inside a magical orb. The backstory set in Mejis spans a period of several months, from the day after Roland's test of manhood until he and his friends return from Mejis.
The first part of _Wizard and Glass_ resolves the cliffhanger involving the suicidal Blaine the Mono. The second part finds Roland and his followers in Topeka, Kansas, in a version of America that is similar to the ones the New Yorkers came from, except in this reality a superflu virus has killed almost everyone. Before they visit a mysterious green palace that has materialized across the interstate, Roland needs to tell his companions a story from his youth. Then the _ka-tet_ enters the palace and has a showdown with a wizard who goes by many names, including Marten and Randall Flagg.
As the monorail hurtles across Mid-World at breakneck speed, Blaine behaves like a petulant child. He hates being corrected or contradicted and demands to be entertained. When crossed, he metes out punishment, as when he amplifies the sound of the Falls of the Hounds.
_Ka_ has provided Roland and his followers with a couple of clues about how to handle Blaine. The book of riddles Jake got at the Manhattan Restaurant of the Mind is a red herring—a fact hinted at by the missing answers section at the back. The real clue to cracking Blaine is in _Charlie the Choo-Choo_ , and it is Eddie who figures it out. After watching Roland spend hours exhausting all the riddles from Fair-Day contests and after Jake tests Blaine with the hardest entries in _Riddle-De-Dum!_ , Eddie starts zinging Blaine with stupid, illogical joke-riddles, shooting with his mind like a gunslinger firing bullets. Though Blaine knows the answers to many of them, it pains him to be forced to respond to these unworthy riddles. His circuits blow, his engines cease and the train coasts into Topeka instead of crashing into the barrier at the terminus. The train derails, but at a slow enough speed that the _ka-tet_ survives uninjured.
They emerge into a version of Topeka, Kansas, that is different from the one known to the New Yorkers. They see unfamiliar automobile models, soft drink brands and sports franchises. A superflu has decimated the population of America. They find a newspaper dated 1986, a year before Roland drew Eddie from New York, so they can't be in his Earth, but perhaps in a universe that is next door. They also find Gage Park, which has a train that must have inspired Beryl Evans to write _Charlie the Choo-Choo_.
They're no longer on the Path of the Beam. Equipped with a new, light, high-tech wheelchair found in the train station parking lot to replace the one Susannah abandoned in Lud, they head east on Interstate 70, where they encounter a thinny, a place where the fabric of existence is almost entirely worn away. It emits a sound that disturbs the _ka-tet_ on a fundamental level. It also brings back a flood of memories for Roland, who first encountered a thinny shortly after he passed his test of manhood in Gilead. Thinnies have been increasing in number since the Dark Tower began its decline. Blaine may have passed through one to get them into this version of America.
In the distance, they see a shimmering green palace that seems to be floating above the lanes of the interstate. Roland knows it means trouble for them. As they draw near, he feels compelled to tell them the story of what happened after his father confronted him the day he beat Cort and won his guns, though the story is going to be difficult for him to face. To reach the Tower, he needs a whole heart and must put the past to rest as much as possible. Finally, he summons the courage to do so and, over the course of a night that seems to last far longer than a handful of hours, he tells his story.

Q: How To Make An Ad Removal In a Unity game Asking for help with how to make an ad removal service in a mobile game I have searched on youtube and they are nothing on how to make an ad removal.
A: I gather, that you want it to be a paid service.
First, you would need to create a product in your gpg/appstore consoles. It could be a non-consumable, if you want it to be a one time purchase or a subscription, if you want to give ad free state for a limited time. If you haven't already implemented shop, that should be time to do so. You can find a lot of info on how to do it on the internet.
Then, you would need to write logic that prevents ads from showing ads if user is as free. Simple bool should be enough. Just be sure to store it somewhere (any save system, player prefs for eg.) and enable user an option to restore their purchase in case they reinstall your app or switch devices.
If you want this service to be bought not by real money, but for some sort of currency, you can just skip the part about creating products and implementing shop. All you need to do is to remember, that it's an ad free user and when to revoke their rights if necessary.
That should serve as a good start, comment if you have any questions.
A: First thing you would do is create a database like firebase then you would have a bool for shouldShowAd and once you have that store it in the database and when you are showing the ad you should wrap it in a if statement for example:
now if you want to make it buyable what you would do it watch a youtube video on how unity handles purchases and once its purchased you would want to store it in a database with the users id, there is a good firebase database tutorial I would suggest: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vdgd9TLczY4

Family House Rules - To Have or Not to Have?
I spent some time last weekend with my newest friend. She's seven and I really did have a great time with her. From watching YouTube videos (and singing out loud) to her displaying her gymnastic abilities and happily describing her best pair of shoes (they've got like a 1 inch block heel!
Then we moved. And then guess what?
She read the first line and said 'why do you have house rules'?
Anyway, her initial question got me thinking about house rules. I mean like the serious ones, and not these light hearted kind. Do they work?
I'm just really curious - how was your growing up like in relation to these rules. Did you have them?Did you like them and adhere to them?What were the consequences if broken?Would you advise them and if you have kids, what rules have you or would you like to implement?
pS: The only house rules Tee and I are contemplating at the moment is whether or not guests should take their shoes off - as we've got a really light carpet!He thinks it's extreme, but I'm pretty okay with it. Yet to decide though. What do you think. Would that offend you?

The food was OK I guess, but we were filled with so much disgust over the service, nothing would have tasted good. I always have at least two margarita's, but this time I only had one....once I finally got it!
After getting tired of waiting for the bill, we finally got up and went to the front of the restaurant. Boy, you should have seen how fast Jesus showed up then!
Ewwwwwwwww – Ok so the food was good, atleast my meal, my dad took me and the family there for my birthday, he ordered a chili reliano, deep fried breded with cheeze and a chilli inside, when he cut into it with his fork a terrible smell filled the area, but he thought thats what they must smell like he took a bite and it was moldy!but hes a really nice guy he wanted to be sure that he just wasnt unsatisfied with his meal so he passed it around the table and it was horrible you could literally taste the mold!
If you are from the SW, you may be disappointed – This is a clean, ok priced restaurant. However being that I lived in NM for 15 years it is not that great. I am still looking for authentic Mexican food and after eating at Azteca I am still searching. My husband was born and raised on Mexican food and his comment was he would rather eat at Taco Bell. So the search is still on!
Best Mexican in town (downtown) – I have eaten alot of Mexican food and think this is one of the best places in Spokane you can get a Mexican dish. It is an amazing dichotomy though; the downtown location has good service, super food and a wonderfully festive atmosphere. The valley location has terrible service, detestable conditions (my clean water glass still had another woman's lipstick on it when I took a sip once, and I won't even start to talk about the service...

Ride to Save the Big White River Bridge
August 7, 2015/in Uncategorized /by Harrison Maddox
The Big White River Bridge in Clarendon is a beautiful historic bridge over the White River Wildlife Refuge that the
The Historic Big White River Bridge
community is trying to save. We’d like to get a good group of riders to show up and help publicize and save the bridge. Arkansas Bicycle Club will ride from Scott (south of Little Rock) to Clarendon, AR–about 60 miles–starting Friday morning at 8:00 a.m. A support vehicle will be on hand for bags and extra water and a police escort will join us over the bridge. Friday and Saturday nights we will have indoor camping with air conditioning and showers in Clarendon. Saturday morning we’ll ride over the bridge and back, then probably continue to the Louisiana Purchase State Historic Site for around 45 miles of riding. We will ride back to Scott on Sunday, August 9.
Those interested in just riding over the bridge on Saturday, August 8, may come just for the day ride starting at 8:30 a.m.
If you Register for free at https:// arkansasbicycleclub. wildapricot.org/page-18090, you will be on the email list for any updates.

Fort Roots Trail Widened
May 16, 2015/in Uncategorized /by Harrison Maddox
Many bicyclists have biked up the scenic Fort Roots hill to ride around the grounds on top of the hill and back down. Not all cyclists are aware of the paved “Fort Roots Highlands Perimeter Trail” that winds around the perimeter of the hill/mountain just above the quarry (take a left on to the trail a couple hundred feet or so before the gate and guard house at the top of the hill). The paved trail is about two miles long and comes out on the north side of Pulaski Tech and the Fort Roots campus. The trail has some of the most spectacular views around, perhaps on the planet. HOWEVER, until last week the trail had one significant deficiency – a several hundred yard section that narrowed to the width of a small sidewalk (see photo) immediately behind the old officers’ houses, while the width of the rest of the trail is 12′ to 14′. The sidewalk narrow section was difficult and dangerous to ride, especially since a several hundred foot drop-off into the quarry was just a few feet from the edge of the trail.
As part of its advocacy effort, BACA has been working to get the trail widened. BACA is pleased to report that through the efforts of North Little Rock Mayor Joe Smith and Parks and Recreation Director Bob Rhoads, working with the Fort Roots Veterans facility administration, that section has now been widened to the same 12′ to 14′ width as the rest of the trail. The entire trail is now a great riding experience. See the before and after comparison in the photos below.
BACA very much appreciates the efforts of Mayor Smith, Director Bob Rhoads, and the Veterans Administration to make the trail much safer and enjoyable to use.

Riverfront Drive Reconfiguration Meets Opposition
April 29, 2015/in Uncategorized /by Harrison Maddox
The public meeting regarding the Riverfront Bike lanes on Monday, April 27 was heated to say the least. Residents
The plan for Riverfront Drive
from the nearby Canal Pointe neighborhood turned out in force to oppose the Riverfront Drive proposal. While some cyclists and residents did show up in support, their comments in favor of the project were greatly overpowered by the rest of the crowd.
Currently the city is looking at scrapping the project because of the disapproval at the public meeting.
We need BACA’s support TODAY!
If you are in favor of the project, If you think the River trail is more important for Central Arkansas than an over-engineered 1 mile stretch of road, if you feel the current configuration of the trail is dangerous for families and visitors, please show your support for this project. Because as of now, the city has heard that the people of Little Rock do not want a safer Riverfront Drive and think that a single striped bike lane on a speedy over-built road is adequate for the Arkansas River Trail.
If you use the Arkansas River Trail and want to make it safer for everyone, we ask you to please email the city and let them know!
Email your support for a “Riverfront drive road diet and widening of River Trail to 13ft in either direction” to the following emails: [email protected], [email protected], ttol [email protected],Jhoneywel [email protected], jlewno@ littlerock.org. and well as Ward 3 Director Kathy Webb at [email protected]
Little Rock City Board Passes Complete Streets Ordinance
April 25, 2015/in Uncategorized /by Harrison Maddox
On Tuesday, April 21st, the Little Rock City Board of Directors voted 9-1 in favor of the proposed complete streets ordinance that had been in the works since mid-2014.
Speakers from the Little rock Sustainability Commission, AARP, Studio Main and BACA all presented to the city board members on the benefits of complete streets, including safer streets for all users–from people who ride transit to people with disabilities to people who ride bikes, walk or run. For more information about complete streets, see this Complete Streets FAQ.
BACA appreciates the cooperation of the Little Rock city board members in working to make our roads safer for everyone. Now that the ordinance has passed, the challenge becomes enforcement, or ensuring that the city and developers actually follow through with the ordinance. This will be discussed at a later date. Thank you all for your support! It was a community effort all the way and we are excited to move forward.
South Main Street is one example of a “Complete Street” in Little Rock
BACA General Membership Meeting Recap
April 19, 2015/in Uncategorized /by Harrison Maddox
BACA’s spring general meeting was held Thursday, April 2 at the Oyster Bar. We had some great speakers! We heard from a representative of the Clarendon/White River Bridge about how much BACA’s support has helped push their issue forward. The decision has not yet been made to save the bridge, but we are awaiting more news on how we can help. the Arkansas Bicycle Club has discussed organizing a ride to Clarendon to ride over the bridge (which is a gorgeous ride through a hardwood tree canopy). Stay tuned for more info!
We also had an excellent presentation from a team of students from the Clinton School of Public Service. We had approached them to help us develop a plan to promote the benefits of Complete Streets and how we might better support our efforts to get such a measure passed. Students Angela and Tatiana suggested using the power of social media to spread stories of people on bikes and other types of road users. BACA is planning a new social media and website campaign that will feature short profiles of riders around town–what makes them ride, what they love about riding in Little Rock and what they would like to see. Tune in to our Facebook page for more on this front.
We also discussed BACA’s action on the potential closing of the Big Dam Bridge between midnight to 4 a.m. to cut down on deviant behavior (see this post by Jbar Cycling). The bridge is apparently a hangout spot for young troublemakers who like to throw things off the bridge and vandalize the property. BACA has chosen to fight to keep the bridge open 24/7/365 and is looking into alternatives to closing it during those hours.
There’s a lot coming up soon! We’ll be talking about Ditch the Keys Week and Bike to Work Day in the next few weeks.
River Trail Construction at Episcopal Collegiate
November 29, 2014/in Uncategorized /by Harrison Maddox
ARKANSAS RIVER TRAIL CONSTRUCTION ALERT
Little Rock Public Works and Little Rock Wastewater would like to alert all Arkansas River Trail users who plan to use the section of trail along Cantrell Road. Work has started on installing a new sewer main in that area and the contractor will have 2 large pits dug adjacent to the trail at the Episcopal Collegiate driveway. Heavy equipment and workers will be in that area until the end of December, weather permitting. The contractor also plans to work weekends to expedite the project’s completion.
The Arkansas River Trail Task Force recommends avoid using this section of the trail, if possible, until the work in that area is completed. Signage has been placed in the affected area to alert cyclists and pedestrians of the construction. If you are traveling on that section, please be considerate of the construction workers and be extremely cautious. Look for future updates on the progress of this project and planned trail detours in that area.
The JBar Cycling blog has more on the trail construction here: http://jbarcycling.blogspot.com/2014/08/developments.html

Thanks, Susannah, for the opportunity to post and share what we're doing in this space!
We've taken the "make it actionable and make it printable" mantra to heart. There'"what do I do about it?" piece. One way we' "Start a conversation with a loved one" or "Questions to ask the doctor" on a variety of topics. (Here'?
I'd love to hear from others on what they're doing to improve health literacy online, and to bridge online health resources with offline personal connections and resources. And how can we take better advantage of this through newer technologies and social media too?Game on!
A'v can't handle medical information; "you can see it in their eyes," they'r's being dumb?
HHS *is* winning on this with user-friendly URLs like healthdata.gov, healthfinder.gov and health.gov. Excellent!
4. It's WICKED cool that the government (any government) would publish the transcript of a tweetchat!Even cooler than the idea that they'd have one in the first place. You go!
All in all: Keep it up and stay in touch!
Dave — thank you!It's great to hear from the ground-breakers in this area that we're on the right track (even if it may take us some time to get there! "learn"t'n't?
3. Wouldn't it be nice if we could get to a world without acronyms too?

The more likely use in the near future for telematics in every car is related to insurance. Vehicle insurers will move more and more towards policies that reward how you drive � analysing data such as using your indicators before making a turn, sticking to the speed limit, how hard you accelerate or brake and even analysis that indicates if (and how often) you are driving while distracted. Young drivers may already be familiar with having a �black box� fitted to their first car that relays how safely they drive. Drivers can earn reductions in their monthly premium for driving within certain standards.
In relation to commercial insurance - some Motor Fleet insurers are already taking advantage of easily integrated telematics systems in order to offer discounts if companies agree to install them, or as a condition of accepting an application that they would usually decline, for example where companies have a poor claims history. Using telematics in a commercial setting can not only help with insurance costs but also help maximise efficiency by analysing key information such as driver behaviour, vehicle location and times which can allow improved route planning and increase driver standards. Tools of this kind have previously only been available to top end businesses, with large vehicle numbers and paying high premiums. The progression of technology will push these offerings into the mainstream insurance markets as more and more insurers look for ways to reduce claim pay-outs and price their products more accurately relating to the risk being insured.
We are a leading commercial fleet insurance Stockport UK. We supply the best motor trade car insurance policies from an extensive panel of insurance companies and at cheapest rates.

Keep your blog posts short and direct. Comprehensive coverage is no doubt important, but writing a 2000-word blog post is a good way to make sure that it is never read to the end. Those that read blogs aren’t likely to appreciate a Shakespearian ability to describe the most mundane details of a setting. They are looking for the information they seek, not the frilly decorations.
Whenever and wherever possible, you should try to make bullet lists and italic text segments which include the keywords that go with your niche. That will make your blog easier for the search engines to crawl, which will ultimately result in a boost in readership. This tip alone can be powerful.

Don’t try to just write a lot of content on your blog that has nothing to do with anything. You should always research the material for your blog. You won’t succeed if you are simply writing on the wrong topics. The content you post on your blog is the key to finding success.

Make sure to have frequent updates. In order to increase your site traffic and maintain it properly, you must always post new content. Without more content, visitors will stop coming to your blog. Post at least daily to keep your readers coming back for more.
Blogging is social, so don’t forget this aspect. Because of this, you should be available to your readers. Also, make sure to get yourself known and speak with other people in your niche. You won’t become successful if you just sit back and do not do anything. Take an active role in your blog’s success!

It is possible to use a blog as a type of personal diary, or it can be used to earn a bit of money. No matter why you have decided to start a blog, before you do so, you need to make sure that you know what you are doing. Read on to learn the secrets to blogging satisfaction and success.
It is necessary that you use the appropriate font for your blog. The most crucial aspect of your blog is the written content, so the correct size font is very important. The key is to find something that is not so large that it overpowers your pages, but not so small that readers must strain their eyes to see it.
Current news article can provide you with inspiration and information to post on your blog. Find stories which are complementary or relevant to your blog. For example, if your blog is about hair design, an article on an up and coming hair stylist expo would be very suitable to post. This type of information is likely of interest to your readers.

Make certain to break long posts into smaller chunks. Many readers won’t want to read an overly long blog. Think about keeping each page to just a few paragraphs. This will be easier for the reader and also help improve your number of page views. It is a win-win.

but I’ve got plenty of time over the weekend to carefully finish the
release engineering process. Better than having bugs, eh?
I actually found a bug in gnu.port.mk during porting to mnbsd;
gecko2@ had found it too but I couldn’t reproduce it back then.
Sorry for all the delay in the release announcement and publication,
but first we have to get the ISOs ready – since they contain i386, sparc,
source and CVS it’s a tad difficult and quite time-consuming.
Ha! Giving support in #cvs in IRC and being called life saviour,
master, etc. is really giving me the chills, in a good way.
I’m trying to hand-bake a floppy for the sparc though. It won’t contain
an installer, but enough to download an installer onto a HDD. Ports have
aborted (gnupg can’t import keys, but decrypt them just fine – weird), but
I’ve got enough for tomorrow.
It’s really annoying. This is actually a pre-release issue. There is a
port, editors/nano, which snuck in before the release, containing GPLv3
licenced stuff. This means that I either have to remove nano from the
mirports tree for #10 or read the GPLv3 and allow it into the tree.
Looking for OpenBSD’s opinion on GPLv3 in ports, I found that my “dear
friend”, the oksh developer, has struck again: his oksh-0.3 is GPLv3’d
now. (At least he did not remove the UCB copyright from some files.) And
to add insult to injury, the description of oksh
at Softpedia, which is almost certainly provided by my “dear friend”
Henry Jensen <<EMAIL>>, pretends that mksh(1) is not
Bourne compatible (which it is, at least no less than oksh) and buggy,
which it definitively is not. He said that, at the time
of his forking, mksh was buggy, but could not tell me one single actual
point. His only complaint against mksh was that it does not support the
GNU bash-like $PS1 hackery. *sigh* (Did I mention that oksh-0.1
violated the MirOS licence on mksh?)
Phew, I read through it. And I think we have a sort of official stance on the
GPLv3 (even though bsiegert@ of course has to agree to make it truly
official). I still don’t like it, but it could be worse, and for ports
we do not need to care that much.
Today, I helped wbx@ to clean up his basement: DECstations, SPARCstations,
VAXstations, Alphas, mac68k, hppa, SGI O2 and Indy, and some other boxen
either went to the recycling company today or will tomorrow. gecko2@ retains
some mac68k and maybe one hppa, I try to get some 32-bit sparc parts, and
bogus got an E450 (heavy!) and an Ultra1 for toying around with, as he now
exclusively runs Solaris.
It’s annoying that not every CPU works in every SPARCstation – for example,
the two SPARCstation 10 we found have 33 MHz CPUs and 400 MiB HDDs, one has
OpenBSD on it, one Solaris 5. Nice. Tomorrow we’ll look at the two
SPARCstation 5 which are still there. The monitor sadly doesn’t work. Maybe
one VGA conversion cable from the SGIs will help, but I don’t have a monitor
capable of doing the sunfb 1152x900 (maybe with a zx(4) card…)
The SPARCstation 20 of mine (“demo”) has finished building the release
kernels and tarballs, so I can proceed with the release engineering process
ASAP. Like I said, we’ll do a unified medium. As with i386, the preliminary
dist sets may show up on the download mirrors already for a while…
Building the release took about 6h22′ at 1 GHz on i386, and 81h22′ on 75
MHz on sparc, for what it’s worth.
Für lange Zugfahrten o.ä, wo man keine Lust hat zu hacken, ist
ganz gut dies hier geeignet: z.Zt. 128 je ca. 200 Lynx-Seiten umfassende Harry Potter
Fanfics, die ein recht logisches, aber manchmal nerviges Universum, das
jedoch sich streng nach dem Original richtet, aufspannen. Einfach runterladen
und dann offline lesen.
Ich bin ja ehrlich gesagt immer noch am sicken, daß Freenode
mir einfach den Nick „lynx“ geklaut hat… jetzt kann ich gar nicht mehr so
deutlich anzeigen, daß ich am Schmökern bin. Merke: wer „linked nicks“ hat,
sollte diese trotzdem alle 29 Tage mal touchieren, da man im Staff
nicht nachfragt, selbst wenn der Hauptkontakt gerade online ist.
I’m still pissed about Freenode taking the nick “lynx” away
from right under my arse, having been online with the main nick of “linked
nicks” (the NickServ feature), just because I had not used that nickname for
a while. Note: touch all alternative nicks every 29 days. RichiH says it’s
policy to at least ask the owner, but seemingly they don’t.
I found out that, actually, you can commit into both a branch and HEAD
within the same directory on the same commit command. It’s just our log
scripts which suck. This will be fixed RSN. It works if you use another,
different directory as the last one (like I thought). This also
means you can ignore commitid 10047D8245653D8184A and 10047D8248447FC1F5F,
as these never went live.
Someone wants to do an
appliance with FreeWRT, maybe I can let him hire (and pay) me for that.
I could definitively need the money at the moment (hint hint).
… and I actually did, this will lead to some changes, even a few real
improvements not only for mnbsd but for mbsd too.
This is probably the last entry in this wlog. If you are using the RSS
feeds, you might either want to subscribe to <URL>, or
change your subscription to the new (as of yesterday) feed at <URL>, which is

A fix for the ppp(8) security vulnerability has been committed to
MirOS #10-stable already. This is still in time for the release, and
will be included in the source10.ngz dist set as well as in both i386
and sparc base10.ngz dist sets. Thanks to TNF’s replaced, who mentioned
the issue to me in the #!/bin/mksh channel in IRC.
Whew. mksh is done. I hacked a little on mcabber, and if
your libc is recent enough, it even can display the new uppercase eszett
the DIN proposed onto us (ẞ ← it’s in fixed-misc in MirBSD, and in a few
other fonts such as the Linux Libertine). Mine wasn’t, of course. My work
system is, actually, too old… (currently I’m building i386 stuff either in
a chroot or in a dual-boot).
Now that tg@ is back, MirOS has certainly regained its momentum.
Great work, it is good to have a developer like him.
For the last six months, we always distributed the same snapshot on
exhibitions. I am almost ashamed to admit that the CDs we had at FOSDEM 2008 were burned from the
FrOSCon 2007 ISO image that I had
lying around on the showcase box, schaaf.mirbsd.org. So my radical
proposal was: the code we have has had a lot of testing already and has
shown no show-stopper bugs (except on the new Intel Macs, but that is
another story). So: let's release what we have and call it MirOS
However, we urgently needed to apply some security fixes first. My
task was X. I managed to update the included freetype to 2.3.5, which
contains many security-relevant bugfixes and is recommended for all
users. Alas, many places under xc/ have to be touched for it
to integrate well. I also applied the X.org patch from OpenBSD
4.2-stable. I had to do the applying by hand as there seemed to be some
coding style changes from XFree86 to X.org but the code itself seems to
have been mostly unchanged since 1987 or so. Some of it does not even
have ANSI prototypes (in XFree86 at least).
Some ports have also been updated, mostly security fixes. My build
machine is now MirOS in Parallels on a MacBook Pro. I have
aqua/qt4-mac in my tree but it does not install quite right
yet. A new, unified Ghostscript port is also in the pipeline. However,
convincing the build system to only use the system zlib proves
Why do I always find bugs at almost after release time? Why do I let my
coffee become cold, have too few milk at home, etc? Why do I sometimes
forget to mount -uw /x before qemu’ing an image placed on that
filesystem? Why do I sometimes forget to plug in the power of the laptop
and then wonder why it suddenly turns off, having no APM nor ACPI?
I’d like to call a vote for MirPorts:
replace the FLAVOR and FLAVORS variables by these with
correct spelling (FLAVOUR and FLAVOURS), keep it as it
is, support both with English preferred, support both with American dialect
preferred? I’m strongly tending to British English and would like to have
this general policy in MirOS.
OpenBSD/zaurus works, although it’s a PITA to get a working Linux 2.4 on
it first. The USB NIC (aue(4)) doesn’t work, though (not enough power); but
it at least tries, under OpenBSD, while it is ignored under Linux 2.4 and
2.6; my USB stick works on the Zaurus but not on the laptop or the WL-500g;
a CF card reader only works on the Asus box, so I must use that for data
transfer (and cannot use ntpd(8), which sucks) with smallish 16 MiB and 32
MiB CF cards from my digital camera…
And why do some bugs found past the last minute need so lengthy attempts
at fixing because it cannot be done inside the current implementation?
I managed to ssh into all possible boxen to test whether the upcoming
release of mksh will work on them (well,
the Debian GNU/kFreeBSD qemu instance had to be upgraded first). I even
installed some Linux 2.4 and then OpenBSD on wbx’ Zaurus since nobody of
them could give me a shell.
Still some testing to do, but I’m okay with what we have, not only for
mksh(1) but also for the entire OS. Expect #10 finally next week or so.
OpenBSD is weird. They did, in 4.3-beta locked-tree state, link
OpenCVS to the build, but no fixes for the necessary sendmail upgrade or IP ID vulnerability
yet (or even planned).
Schon mal geröstete und schokierte SOJABOHNEN gesehen? Hmm…
die schmecken ja sogar. Ziemlich herzhaft.
Now I’m fixing Debian fixes to upstream software. Funny. But people who
re-invent strdup(3) do belong shot, even if their crapware is public domain.
Luckily, mgcc(1) catches sizeof (char *).
I’m done with ${foo/bar/baz} support in mksh(1); the mcabber port can now
do umlauts (stupid implementation, they should use more native functions,
especially since they do link against libncursesw).
The MirPorts main page is now connected again. Rob “rjek” Kendrick is
currently porting his small, fast, CSS capable, JS planned, NetSurf browser
to MirOS (many thanks here!).
Dang, it’s much too late again, but I hacked some cool things into mksh,
which were planned for some time; now I need someone to test this. Also,
here strings (hd <<<$str) are now documented (and do NOT
work like in GNU bash unless $str is double-quoted), whereas the
replacement substitution – ${foo/b+(a)@(r|R)?(\/*)/baz} – isn’t.
This should, however, further improve people coming from other shells.
Benny is still working on security updates – now: X11. I should better
get my ports and ssh etc. upgraded too. If I just knew what was important
now… we need actual user feedback for this, I think.
We actually distributed about 182 CDs yesterday, and today, early morning,
no CDs are left any more. We’re also about to run out of flyers. Benny’s
showcase box aided really in catching users (especially the pink mouse, for
the female part of the visitors, who tried Frozen-Bubble when we offered it
Benny and I also decided on Unicode improvements and hacked Mac OSX Leopard
support into MirPorts, this time correctly. This is really weird, and both of
my fellow Mac fanboys decided that Leopard is quite buggy and thusly sucks.
Probably due to the UNIX2003 certification?
Bruxelles is fun, and the hotel was very good (not really cheap, but not
too expensive either). Sadly we probably don’t have any time to really go
geocacheing, and our usual restaurant – le petite planéte – no longer exists,
although we found a suitable replacement, with a delicious Assiette Mergues.
Belgian beer was as good as usual, although it makes getting up early on the
next day more difficult. The OpenBSD people donated 3 cans of Jupiler to us,
which was unexpected but makes room for hopes of improvement.
The frietjes booth outside actually understood my attempts to talk to them
in dutch and, although my pronunciacion is very bad (of course), she told me
it’s not too bad overall (for a duitslander). They seem to pronounce ‘ie’ as
a long ‘i’… I need more practice, but this part of Bruxelles is mostly french
Today, I merged back the cvs repository from hephaistos and tweaked both
the ChangeLog and idcache as well as the ,v files to have sort of correct
Commit IDs. I'll have to go through a few files worth of diff, but that'll
follow next. Benny has done good work, and also thanks a lot to gecko2.
The process group IDs have been preserved in the lower 32 bit of the new
commit ids, the upper 44 bit are, as usual, the time.
We'll resume normal-heavy operation very soon, so keep your INBOXen ready
As an update to Benny's first wlog entry
possible mksh bug I have to say that this was fixed in mksh R31b: The “unset” builtin always
returns zero, even if the variable was already unset, as per SUSv3
I am making the first steps on my new MacBook Pro – a fine
machine. I had had a bug report last year that MirMake does not build
on a new Intel Mac running Mac OS 10.5 "Leopard". During 24C3, I
had tried unsuccessfully to fix this. Now I finally know the
It is an incompatibility between the getopt.h and getopt_long.c
that come with MirMake and the ones in Leopard's libSystem. It seems
that Apple has changed some function implementations to be UNIX2003
compatible. The old ones have been preserved for binary
compatibility, and the choice is done via "symbol variants", like
_getopt@UNIX2003. The upshot is that you need to use
I devised a fix (use the system getopt(3) in Darwin) but I now I
need to figure out how to make a new mirmake release.
In other news, I am working on the talk for FOSDEM 2008 in
Bruxelles. Stay tuned for more stuff about build systems (see
The problem from the last entry really seems to be a bug in ksh. In
mksh, unsetting a non-existing variable gives a return value of 1. If
set -e is active, then the script breaks at this point. This
behaviour seems to be the same for the other ksh instances such as
pdksh. From the mksh(1) manpage:
Unset the named parameters (-v, the default) or functions
(-f). The exit status is non-zero if any of the parameters were
However, SUSv3 clearly mandates that unset must return a
zero exit state in this case. And it seems to be a sane thing
actually: in any case, the result is the same afterwards, i.e. the
variable is unset. I could care less if it was set before. Btw, both
bash and tcsh return 0. zsh returns 1.
I think I will leave this here for tg@'s return. It will be up to
I fixed a very annoying bug (for me) in the build system for the
website. It turns out that unset returns 1 in mksh (but not in
bash) when the variable was unset before. However, make breaks as soon
as one command fails. Adding a simple || true helps.
As seen in the news section, I will be in Berlin for 24C3. You should
come, too. The talks and the atmosphere are great. The train journey
was a bit more cumbersome than usual though: our ICE train was replaced
by an InterCity. No reservations, not enough space and worst of all: no
I finally have the time (and the possibility!) to write a wlog
entry. Thorsten has been absent since the end of november. The problem
is that many MirOS services, mostly e-mail and the CVS master, were
running on herc.mirbsd.org, which is located in tg's apartment. Now
that he is not there, herc is also down. This means that mails do not
work. I do not have the subscriber list for the mailing lists so I
cannot resurrect these.
gecko's server aka anoncvs.mirbsd.org is the new CVS master. It is
running Debian GNU/Linux with an older version of CVS. Thus, I had to
fiddle a lot with the scripts in CVSROOT. The most obvious effect is
that new commits do not have commitids; they get the process group of
the commit process instead, which is meaningless and not unique.
However, as said on the news page, development continues, even if
MirOS #10 will be pushed back even more. To follow CVS, look at the
changelogs or into the cvsweb. anoncvs is running great.
There were two security-related commits this week: one in
src/usr.bin/perl, the other in ports/devel/pcre.
Please update those two. A binary package to replace perl in base will
gcc is crap, and I have no idea how to figure out where the cause of
today’s herc/rant outage, kern_sysctl + 0x2f6, is, since it seems to
have reordered the functions. Damn it.
I managed to get Dr. Pfeffer to go cache hunting with me again, and we
didn’t find one (the most easy one), but the other two (at 18:00 and at
19:00 local time, almost exactly). And at 16:00 I had the cache near his
home location ☺ This makes, considering not both sites list all caches,
a total of 29 (an offset of 3 at OC, and 2 at GC. Now I dropped a TB at an OC-only cache
and am still trying to sort out THIS mess ☺
It’s raining now. Shit, considering I left my bike at Dr. Pfeffer’s
place yesterday (due to me staying at some other place over night, where
we did the caches), and I need it tomorrow (or rather not, if it’s still
raining by then).
As usual, no data got lost (at HERC/RANT), and I held the cache in my
hand almost immediately.
The svk port is alive and kicking at devel/svk. I have used
it for some simple RCS and merging scenarios with my gf's diploma
thesis, and it seems to be working very well, better than subversion
even. Startup time is very long (up to 10 seconds, even for svk
help) but once it gets going, the operations themselves are
quicker. And smerge is just very cool: you can merge one branch into
another without manually keeping track of branch points and the like.
It seems to me that svk can replace CVS's vendor branches easily,
something Subversion does not do. Nice.
I should be starting my PhD thesis in november but I am still
struggling with the bureaucrats. The problem is that I do not have the
diploma itself, i.e. the peace of paper, as the evaluation of the
thesis is not finished. So my employer told me to get a "provisional
attestation" (?). Now, suddenly they tell me that they cannot take the
one I sent them into account because my thesis is not yet noted. Great.
I tried to install my T-Com Speedport W701V router at my
parents' place, only to have it crashing on me. It seems that the thing
is stuck in an endless reset loop. The action of mine that brought it
into this state was clicking "Step-by-step DSL installation". So much
for T-Com (that does not exist as a brand any more anyway, I think) and
for our channel motto Technik ist scheiße und funktioniert
nicht. How right.
Update <DIGITS>: T-Com exchanged the router without a fuss.
Synergy effects are the best. The geocacheing software Cachewolf now has
generated nightly builds thanks to a FreeWRT box, whose developers help
testing and spotting all the bugs in mksh,
make(1) and the HTML manpage stuff, and all projects get better. Wow.
I feel a little ill at the moment, which quite sucks. Not even bad enough
to be unable to work, just… anyway, my bosses sent me to the Doctor.
I have generated a new 5120 bit RSA host key for use on tear (my new
server), so that we can continue working on the #10 release timely even
though the box is still not ready.
Benny, despite busy moving, is working on MirPorts again. Austriancoder
and spaetzle are helping with FreeWRT. It’s good to know you’re not alone.
Users are giving actual feedback. People
are helping pro bono. The world is a good place still. Despite…
Working on two OS projects has very nice synergy effects. Today, as
yesterday, it affected manual page availability for both projects in
Damn. pax(1) has a bug on FreeWRT on the targets themselves. (And
my WL-500g still doesn’t have any network on trunk, this seems to be
a different bug.) And I have no idea yet as to why.
When Dr. Pfeffer doesn’t want to go geocaching, I do. They amount
to 26 now, although 1 isn’t listed at the commercial site, and 2 aren’t listed at the open site.
I played a little around at work, and MirOS does boot fine, even with
networking, in a Xen HVM configuration. Since it was at work, I
couldn’t really do much. It was tricky, though. My boss now wants to
know if Windows® would also work (I assume so, now I know how).
FreeWRT nor also has online manual pages,
now guess whose script is doing the job. Right. I’m especially proud
of the fact that this was in no way paid work (and that ekkoBSD was
not for void either). I thought, after having hacked on it for quite
a bit on the last days, that my other project (I am, after all, the
provisional project leader until wbx@ is no longer EAVAIL)
could benefit from it as well – I think manpages are a unique selling
point in the embedded GNU/Linux distribution market (others have their
own USPs… such as working X11…), and I discussed the idea with wbx@ a
long time ago already; now it’s there. Of course, the packagers need
to make sure themselves that their do-install targets actually provide
the manpages, formatted or not, no matter, to the system.
herc crashed today due to a panic. This sucks. No idea why, and I
had no time to check either, since the system is live. raid(4) boxen
seem to tend to crash more often under low-ram, much-I/O situations.
No data was lost, though.
Okay, the boot blocks are MI, the manual pages are split, generated
much faster, and I’ve been working on the AES improvements. Today the
weather doesn’t make me (or Dr. Pfeffer either) feel like going out,
even though there are some interesting new caches in the area.
I’m still waiting for half of the equipment I ordered, but tear can
finally be installed now (I’ll just change the internal cabling a bit
beforehand though, to make my nerves more at ease).
UPDATE: Changing the cabling wasn’t easily possible, but I cleaned
up the inside a little. But RAID initialisation definitively took too
long, and afterwards I filled /dev/rsd0b with /dev/arandom at about
80 KiB/s, which is most truly not enough for an U160 SCSI device, not
to speak about the U320 devices I also have in there. So I need a new
SCSI HBA, which is supported by MirBSD and handles U320 LVD drives.
This sucks. And it postpones usage of my new server quite a bit. The
devices almost all share IRQ 11, which sucks even more. I gather from
Xen/Linux console output that ACPI devices have 256 IRQ lines? This
would be the one and only reason for me to adopt it…
I suppose this is the day my best friend moves back into this city, and
since it’s due to his girlfriend I guess credit goes to her. Good. Now we
can hang around more than the last years.
Today though I was at the others’ place (at cnuke@ and bogus), together
with Kabelaffe, and we hacked a little, everybody on his own project, as
we used to do in the past as well. I managed to create self-installing i386
boot blocks, integrated the chain boot block and SunOS disklabel, and now
everything is ready for MI installboot(8).
I also started to poke around the kernel for using the hardware-aided AES
functions modern CPUs (not crypto extension cards!) provide. UVM swapencrypt
is going to use this code soon. vnd(4) will use the OCF – crypto(9) – for
operations though, so that users can select the actual algorithm used, and
we retain backwards compatibility (plus, software blowfish is a little less
CPU intensive than software Rijndaël (AES)). I’ll have to write some glue
first though, as the APIs differ. And I’m still wondering how to test all
of this… I guess tear will have to hold for it prior to going live.
I still did not make any progress with the merged manual pages though.
(Making a list which of them is the same between arches.) Although this
would be nice to spot gcc/sparc/nroff bugs as well.
I had some conversation with Miod; maybe we should get boot.net back,
as bsd.net kernels can’t be debugged (due to having their symbol table
stripped, Miod says, but I don’t think it’s entirely stripped from what
I see at elf2aout(1)’s code). But I still need some helpful people to
e.g. maintain an mksh port inside OpenBSD Ports… and we definitively
need a kernel coder inside the MirOS project.
Okay, what has happened the last few days in MirWRT-Land? I’m sort of
feeling ill, sneezing a lot, coughing some, having to depollute quite
often. I wonder… I am taking some vitamins…
My SCA adapters arrived on Tuesday. Almost in the night. Okay. That
was a bad review at ePray. Or so I thought. It did not accept that from
me without me passing some kind of driving licence-alike test… weirdos.
Then I got a “function not available”, went back in the browser history,
had to edit the line again because € was changed to ↺ which was,
in total, too long… submitted… rejoiced… or so I thought. They accepted
it – finally – but then asked me if I want to add that guy to the list of
my preferred sellers. Yeaaah, of course…
Then I worked on MI installboot(8), got done with the sparc part at a
Netzladen hacking session (well, more
of a hacking-alone session, fukami just chilled and occasionally smoked
(grr…) and Dr. Pfeffer came late – although he hacked on CacheWolf and I
helped him test some diffs). I think I can now do what wbx@ prodded me for
quite strongly on the phone: create a sparc bootable CD on i386 (or even
non-MirBSD, for that matter). After bootxx/i386 is converted, I think I’m
going to stop working on this until past the release, but it’s good to see
that it works and can probably be easy to finish.
On Wednesday, I managed to add the SCSI discs (all five of them, after
stealing jumpers from old boxen) to tear. They work quite nice, except the
chassis is now humming. Well, 10kRPM drives. Okay. I low-level-formatted
them of course, neither do I need or want the data which was on them before
nor do I desire bad blocks if I have the chance to scan for them (Benny asks
me “why” every time I do low-level formats, but I still believe in them,
even though these aren’t MFM or RLL discs any more). And they’re really
fast, I was amazed. I think I won’t need to RAID 1 the CVS
repository into memory for speed, even if I could now.
Well, next on the agenda would be migrating to tear while releasing and
already coding some post-release stuff. Damn, hen-egg problem. I wonder,
but not about how I’m going to solve it but when I get my lazy arse moved ☺
We’re making good progress nevertheless.
Benny agreed (via the phone) to speed up the build by several hours (on a
P2-350 – probably much more on the sparc) by just linking HTML manual pages
if the catman page is only a link too. I implemented it, but since these
generated from <bsd.man.mk>’s MLINKS are hardlinked, I needed inode
tracking and cacheing, ino_t is unsigned 32-bit, so mksh’s arrays
need to be able to use 32, not 31, bit as index. Done now, and it pleased
me to shock my packagers, doing as if mksh R32 were impending ☻
Ah yes, Opera got a security upgrade, and while playing with AWStats at
work, I realised our Lynx didn’t get counted as Lynx but MSIE… sucks though
it helps with certain sites, so I changed that. Can’t have enough people
noticing the small ones (Lynx as well as MirBSD). Really.
I am going to have to write an install.sparc(7) page – talking
with the MidnightBSD people I realised few people know how to netboot a
sparc, and since all of our manual pages are online, I just could have
pointed him there. But the mnbsd people are all quite nice.
Today morning, I showed our website to a colleague. She told me she
quite likes the design, the colours don’t hurt the eye. This has to be
said (she allowed me to quote her here), in the face of all the critique
on the current theme. (That said, the theme is not going to stay in an
unmodified form though. I recognise there are problems.) She suggested
we put the gothic ASCII-Art text into a graphic, together with the two
logos. And “IEs for Linux” shows that a certain graphical browser has
quite big issues with CSS in general.
My SCA adapters still haven’t arrived. I guess someone cries for a
bad review at ePray.
mksh R31d is there, finally.
Well, at least the distfile. Since I’m at work right now, I cannot
really do a proper release commit series (www, ports, etc).This
release is dedicated to <EMAIL> who kept bugging me to
look for another busy-loop spinning bug, and to a certain BSD-licenced
compiler whose optimiser bug has
yet to be fixed, still. (I’m running with /bin/mksh compiled with pcc
without -O but with -xdeljumps o MirBSD right now.) Ah, and the distfiles
are there now, finally, too.
Dr. Pfeffer now has a statpic (we had a meal (Döner Kebap) together,
and I “persuaded” him to configure it) at OpenCaching now, see above,
but the cache we wanted to do during lunch break, with my colleague,
was unavailable. Closed during the winter, and the cache owner neither
knew about it nor believed me at first (though she later fixed the
information and thanked me or so, but at first… nah nevermind).
Benny’s back and in France again (ok he’ll travel to Dresden tomorrow,
I guess he’s more on the train line than on the internet line ☺).
Just good to know he still cares ☻
Waldemar wants me to produce SPARC CDs… *sigh* guess I really have to
work harder on the MI installboot(8) stuff. Damn. But o-okay.
Sometimes, cloning autotools isn’t fun. For instance, when you realise
that cutting down its triplet of compile-time, link-time and run-time
checks is good, but you do need compile-time checks, since not everything
can be done as link-time check (e.g. checking for declarations when using
deliberately wrong ones to make the compile clash – these clash at link
time when the declaration actually was not existent). Oh well. Fixed.
FWIW, current CacheWolf development snapshots are available from my server, please don’t
overuse its bandwidth…
I did another two geocaches with Dr. Pfeffer, who doesn’t have any
internet access nor a statpic yet though. Update: He has now,
it looks like I’ve almost got him there.
mksh R31d is released, I just didn’t
have any time to prepare a distfile yet. Please see the list of changes,
everybody is strongly advised to upgrade.
Ordering things online sucks. I still do not have my SCSI converters.
No progress on the MirBSD server front yet. I hope to be able to host a
little box at my workplace. Maybe a VM. And the other equipment I wanted
(flashlights for geocacheing, for instance) only has been brought to the
packet service now, let’s see how long it takes… I wish I had a beer.
Phew, we got a #10RC7 for both i386 and (days later) sparc now. Now I
can refine the manifold-boot setup CD (7 MiB or so), maybe I’ll be able
to create it on only one architecture, since “self-installing bootxx we
are almost there”, and hardlink the HTML docs which are the same on all
architectures (ignoring bugs in nroff(1) on sparc).
But first, let’s go geocacheing again, with Dr. Pfeffer, Addy, gecko2
(alias Turodagnir) and myself. It’s good weather today. And because I’m
not going to have tomorrow off I’d better enjoy the weekend.
While I didn't have much time today during work due to some lecture, my
SPARCstation 20 was busy building a snapshot (and still is, and even will
still be the next day or more), Dr. Pfeffer improved CacheWolf further, I
bought a GPS mouse at ePray (together with Addy, the “& friends” part
try, and an intern who seems to like the idea), read raw NMEA 0183 output
from wbx@’s device and conjured nmeadecode(8) which, until we get nmea
and friends, will just read the serial stuff from userland, timestamp it,
act as simple NTP server
and bound on a different port), and display position data to stdout.
There are interesting things to be found in anybody's source tree. This
time, it is Schily again. Well, it could be cleaned up, and arc4random
got improved as well, except I still think it should have a kind
of timer for smaller entropy adds (⅛ of the arc4 key size).
On the other hand SPARC looks rock solid now, I could even build a gnat
(GCC's Ada part) today. Let's hope we'll have a snapshot in 2-3 days, and
maybe MirOS #10/sparc will be in #10semel this time.
The website… some things are difficult to do until you go to the toilet
and come back with a great idea. Put back mtimes on the pages.
At work, I hacked some major C code for FreeWRT today, namely in the
nfotiser
(and here[link removed]).
That's a complicated programme, difficult to do even for me (mostly since
it grows high-level stuff, data structures, and not only close-to-machine
stuff, especially the SQL stuff), but it turns out to become fun once you
get into “hacking mode”.
Tonight's after-work event is LUUSA (at
the Netzladen) again.
Waldemar brought his Zaurus, but there's no Ewe VM. On the other hand –
after some kernel patches and downloading Ewe149-Linux-x86.zip as well as
cachewolf_linux_0.9n_patch_4.zip – the first from ewesoft.com, the second
from cachewolf.de – and unpacking, it worked out of the box; remember the
device name is relative to /dev (I had to use “cuaU0” and “9600”
as baud rate, add myself to group dialer too). I did need some shared lib
from Debian GNU/Linux for that (libgcc_s.so.1) though. Compiling Ewe is –
at the moment – apparently impossible, it always segfaults both on MirBSD
(i386) and Ångström Linux (armv5tel/Zaurus). I'm importing caches from my
site (opencaching.de) now, after recentering to my current location (as I
am too lazy to figure out the GPS position of my home right now). Now, if
I had a huge battery on this laptop (the current one can
hold an hour or so only), I could use it for geocacheing.
It looks as if I finally have found a few cases of bad programming that
caused the segfaults and other misbehaviour on sparc. Now let's just come
all the former Debian GNU/Linux/sparc users. Okay, I've got to compile it
a few times more, and pre-#10 I'd like to do one more code change, namely
the switch from suncons to vt100, but… what the hey ☺ I'm happy.
I'm currently building on a 75 MHz SuperSPARC and would be glad if some
nice person would send me one of these 233 MHz HyperSPARC modules that've
been made by ROSS (I think), and some more RAM for a SPARCstation 20 UP –
we don't support SMP on sparc either. And I desparately need 1-2 testers,
since I don't use a monitor/keyboard/mouse zs console but “merely” a real
DEC VT420 on ttya.
On HTML: see my rants
Anyway, despite the bugs found during the sparc compiling progress, our
tree is in a pretty sane state and ready for release every day or so. I'm
postponing it a bit in the hope less bugs will be found post-release, and
Benny is still continuing his ports work, despite having to create slides
at FrOSCon and doing his diploma stuff all day. Thanks Benny
what would MirOS be without you.
I've still got my dayjob, and working with parsing, databases, SQL, and
C string operations at the same time isn't really fun. But it's me who is
able to make FreeWRT 1.1 shine, so
I've got to do it. I bet it'll have been a lot of fun once I'm done. Just
the way there is hard. So be it. On the contrary, my boss's got a Zaurus,
and Dr. Pfeffer's geocacheing software (in Java™) runs on it. And he will
not only make these trips with us but also lend it to one of us if he has
no time but we want to go. That's the benefit of a small company.
The BOSng Duo has found another cache, although with minor injuries, we
hooked up a friend to the fun and had a definitively nice view.
Yesterday, I talked some with the MidnightBSD people. I think that they
are quite okay and invited them over for FrOSCon. Maybe at least one from
that bunch comes, then we'll finally have all BSDs at once.
My dayjob is really keeping me busy, I'm almost only home for sleeping;
but that's okay, I even get to do mksh stuff at work since it's the shell
of choice in FreeWRT Trunk (to be 1.1), which is what we use and develop.
Speaking of mksh, I'd like to release R30 rather sooner than later.
Benny's busy coding WinAPI at work, poor lad, but it could be worse, as
STL or MFC or so. On the other hand, he does still fix ports and
package tools (we have a security updated BIND now, for instance). Thanks
Benny, we really appreciate that.
Speaking of MirPorts – the MidnightBSD people have “mports”, which seem
to be FreeBSD ports based
and I suggested them to use MirPorts as a second choice (like pkgsrc® for
us), after Archite (coming from OgreBSD) couldn't persuade them to choose
only MirPorts he'll probably look into that now. We'll help, but we can't
maintain it. I just wish dfjoerg would commit the MirBSD bits in pkgsrc®,
since otherwise I wonder why I did all that work if nobody's going to use
it due to missing upstream inclusion. Lazy git. mksh's still at R29f.
From time to time, I'm uploading a new snapshot to the netinstall dir –
it pays off to look there. Today's one was tested on a WRAP board.
I think one of the two HDDs in herc which compose the RAID 1 (software,
using raid(4) – RAIDframe) is definitively failing. I need a replacement;
maybe I'll do as few activity as possible on /MirOS/ and the CVS
repository in the meantime to extend its life span. This sucks, and I see
I won't be able to relax next weekend either.
We have a new snapshot – MirOS #10 RC2 – yet not announced on the front
page because I need to rsync it to the mirrors first (RAID issue) and put
up a torrent (time issue, I do have a dayjob now). But it should appear @
the http mirrors (heph and allbsd.org) soon, in /MirOS/current/,
Not the best day for fate… herc had an almost-panic in the UFS code, my
bedside lamp got crashed by the telephone receiver when gecko2 called me,
I had to nuke tcpdump(8) due to §202c StGB, and mksh R29g was only almost
tested before release (it defines _LARGEFILE_SOURCE=1 even if it
is unnecessary). I am even thinking of removing all pre-R30 stuff off the
mksh page once R30 is out (which might,
I must admit, not happen before MirOS #10, but it will rock). At
least MirOS #10RC2 is going to happen soon, despite some bugs in the pak-
kage tools bsiegert@ is trying to hunt down right now.
À propos gecko2: as he (and zeno) are booth staff, bsiegert@ and I have
agreed to enable them to post wlogs here, so don't be shocked. kimnotyze,
probably hoping to get an entry ticket from me, said he'll help out staff
at FrOSCon as well, but doesn't wlog
as of now (this may change if he's involved more).
I added cprng to the base system, a daemon tjat tries to gather entropy
from measuring the difference between the CPU clock and timer interrupt –
an interesting idea, yet it doesn't work on all hardware. Still better to
have it than to not have good local entropy, besides it's fed to
the kernel random(9) subsystem alongside with tty(4), disc and network IO
(and possibly truly random stuff from the VIA C3/C7 RNG, hifn(4) cards or
even from hotbits/fourmilab/randomnumbers.info). The mix is what makes it
good, but arc4random(3) with multiple concurrent accesses is a difference
to more popular OSes ☺ which makes it truly great. So just use one source
of entropy – /dev/arandom – which is rather high-quality even if
its absolute entropy count is less than the one from urandom.
Somehow, I also managed to wreck something in my other pet project –
FreeWRT. It is often annoying to work
with Linux, and this shows it one more time: module loading doesn't work,
and we have issues with binary-only stuff (BLOBs) too. Still it is slowly
being undermined by addition of mir-tools to the system ☻ and – while a̲l̲l̲
embedded system development kits suck, this one sucks the least.
A few days ago, I had access to a Soekris vpn1411 card – hifn(4) – that
just worked™ out of the box on a bsd.rd kernel. Nice. I noted that rdate,
as well as uuencode(1) and uudecode(1) and their base64 variants were not
available, so I added them; rdate(8) even fits on the small floppy
and is now The Official ping6(8) Replacement™ on floppy, since the latter
is about 28K.
Today I officially declare that gdb(1) isn't usable on MirOS. I tracked
down an GCC bug but was confused because a “load register with immediate”
opcode appeared to change memory (the stack frame – the print command did
not seem to be affected). But hey, I eventually found the bug. Now, all I
wait for is Sun to release their compiler under MIT licence… as if.
As part of the GNOME update to 2.18, I added a python flavour to
libxml2. This seems to confuse pkg_add and triggers a bug
in the dependency handling code. Incidentally, the code in question is
written in Perl by Marc Espie.
To completely fix the bug requires removing pkg(1) completely, which
I will not be able to do before MirOS #10. As a first step, the verbose
output of pkg is now more meaningful, allowing (hopefully) to debug
The way dependencies are handled is deeply flawed and is one of the
biggest weaknesses in the current MirPorts framework. pkg(1) converts
the dependencies into static @pkgdep lines of the form "@pkgdep
libxml-2.6.14-2". If a libspec cannot be resolved, the adding almost
certainly fails *sigh*.
It's mksh-bash compatibility week, apparently. Now, ${foo:2:3}
works, but these must be numbers, not arithmetic expressions, as of yet –
this should be fixed soon though. Also, ${foo/bar/baz} (regexp),
as well as its companion ${foo//bar/baz} (like g appended) won't
be much of a problem but I'll implement ${foo:S/bar/baz/g} first
followed by ${foo:C/bar/baz/gx}, make(1)-style (x = to use POSIX
extended regexps instead of basic). Of course, this'll only work if a few
functions like regcomp(3) are in libc and functional and MKSH_SMALL isn't
defined ☺
MirBSD Secure Shell (sshd) is now built as position-independent code to
make it even more than OpenBSD's OpenSSH. Yay!
Eat this ☻
Before I forget to write this down… today, I released a piece of code I
call libnointl. This was
an original idea (and implementation¹) of mine, but I only got it because
of swishy (Dale Anderson) who complained about his cross-compiling issues
and troubles to me in IRC (I'm feeling the same when working for and with
FreeWRT; he's also using µClibc, but non-POSIX FSH paths). Thanks for the
intuition; if I get famous (FreeWRT and OpenWrt are already adopting it),
you shall become it too.
¹) The API is part from gettext's libintl.h header – only from
the non-copyrightable interface part only – and the ABI is re-engineered,
using nm(1). There is one function actually doing something inside, whose
implementation is from Dr. Dobb's Journal (but easily doable within a few
minutes, and found at many other places on the net), optimised by me, and
adjusted to match GNU gettext libintl's behavious, of course.
Han Boetes suggested to feed it back to the GNU gettext people… I guess
they won't like the licence (MirBSD licence + advertising clause, but GPL
compatible), as it's a GNU project they probably want the paperwork.
We now have an uppercase Eszett (ſz ligature) ẞ in the fixed-misc fonts
and my keymap; it maps
towlower(L'ẞ' == 0x1E9E) = L'ß' == 0x00DF, whose upper-case mapping stays
at L"SS" though. I sent the changes in the font to Markus Kuhn, hoping he
will integrate them in the next stock XFree86®
mksh is now a better /bin/sh
for some people in Debilian who don't know of Korn Shell tradition. Also,
it won't try to execute ELF, a.out, COFF, gzip and NE any longer.
Been working on FreeWRT all
the time (even during the dayjob), so I didn't have the energy left to do
more on the SPARC issues.
Oops, I stayed out of bed for too long, again. Anyway, I had days of
illness and enough hacking mood to do something. NetBSD® pkgsrc® works
on MirOS now, and I ported over their svis(3) and OpenBSDs sdiff(1). I
just wonder why I always have to fix their bugs…
I should write more often. That said, I am in the middle of the
period of my diploma examinations. So far, everything went really
well—in the TOEIC (Test of English for International
Communication) for example, I scored 985 out of 990.
Some MirOS-related news: I actually added a feature to MirLibtool:
code for treating -Wl,--library-after, our equivalent to
-idirafter for include files. I was surprised that libtool
itself is quite readable code. One disadvantage of my patch: The
library-after parameter is written into the .la file; older
libtools trying to link against the file might barf with an "unhandled
library argument" error message. This is not an issue inside MirPorts
but could be an obstacle against including it upstream.
I am currently doing a bulk build of all packages on schaaf (a
hopelessly slow 667MHz VIA C3). Doing a bulk build is very easy. You
Start on a freshly installed MirOS system with plenty of space on
the hard disk. Set up MirPorts via make setup.
Set some variables we need via export BIN_PACKAGES=Yes
TRUST_PACKAGES=Yes BULK=Yes BATCH=Yes.
Go to /usr/ports and create a Logs
In /usr/ports, run the command mmake -k package clean
2>&1 | perl /usr/ports/infrastructure/scripts/portslogger
/usr/ports/Logs.
Wait a few days for the build to be over. Note that make
-k is needed to skip ports that don't build. Some of those will
have a bulk cookie and a package file that is 0 bytes.
Now comes the fun (?) part: check the build log of all packages
that failed to build. Start with the packages with 0 bytes.
Update: I had to cancel the bulk build as the machine was running
This wlog entry was written on the flight from Dresden to Stuttgart.
Flying is great: While it would take me about eight hours using
so-called high-speed trains, the flight is only 50 minutes!
So we are in 2007 now. 23c3 is over. It was fun, even if tg@ did not
manage to come. My security-related highlight was the talk "A not so
smart card", where it was shown how trivial it is to duplicate a Swiss
PostCard or a French Carte Bleue so that your clone will accept any PIN
(they called it a "yes card"). As a user of a Carte Bleue, I frankly
found it very unsettling. At least they don't use 384-bit RSA any more,
as the Swiss still do. All in all, I attended a lot of talks. I also
fixed a few bugs in the pkgtools and ported Gtk+ 2.10 along with
dependencies. There are lots of circular dependencies lurking in the
shadows there.
Great thanks to Pascal Bleser from FOSDEM for building SuSE packages
of mksh(1). Benny already says, in a few years people won't talk about
me as "the MirBSD man" any more but as "the mksh developer".
And he kind of likes the shell, he admits, even though he prefers that
Plan 9 shell called rc. He says the other *nix shells aren't really in
active development anyway and only add bload (for example zmodload). I
do invest quite some time in mksh, and it stays a scripting shell, but
with good interactive usability.
And a rant: X11 doesn't do everything right. Even that old venerable
Windows® 3.1 did do mouse-keyboard event serialisation right. When
the system is under load and I type into an xterm and press the middle
mouse button in between, the mouse lags. Seriously, quite a lot.
An update to the wlog entry of two days ago: I found out that gcc is
not entirely consistently with the const qualifier and a means to cast
it away: define a union with two slots – a const void *
and a void * one… maybe required for const-correctness,
because some of the interfaces (such as execve(2)) suck, but it is NOT
an excuse for bad code, so don't you ever use it unless impossible AND
I did upload a St. Martin snapshot to unixforge (you can download it
here), but there isn't
a changelog yet, that's why it wasn't announced. Just so you know.
I spent eight hours in the train today, one more than planned. I had
20 minutes for changing trains but mine was 22 minutes late. Tough
I was going to rewrite the dependency handling stuff in the pkgtools
but I had to clean up the convoluted mess that is pkg_do() in pkg_add.
The function contained more than 500 lines of code. I did some
refactoring: the automatic loading of dependencies is now done in
separate functions. I think recursive autoloading via ftp is broken but
we don't have binary packages on ftp anyway. However, recording of
dependencies is now handled much more sanely. Before, the tools did two
passes over the plist: one for checking the dependencies and one for
recording them. Wildcards were newly expanded each time so you could
not be sure you record the dependency on the same package you checked
For the user, there should be no functional change. pkg_add now
creates a $LOCALBASE/db/pkg/pkgname/+DEPENDS file,
which contains the correct forward dependencies for the package. This
file is essentially unused at the moment but will be more important
These changes will eventually lead to abandoning the dependency
checker in perl. I already got rid of all calls to pkg dependencies
check in bsd.port.mk; these can be replaced by calling
pkg_info -qe.
Yay, my DSL provider just gave me a static IPv4 address. Too bad, it
does cost me a lot! 4.90 € per month plus once to set it up. How?
IP addresses must not be paid for, they say. And I don't get to
set my reverse DNS. Now, funnily, even their own MTA won't accept mail
from me, which it did before, from the dial-up pool addresses.
I'm not allowed to be the first one. FreeBSD® Ports beat me by a
mere 16 hours, porting frozen-bubble 2. NetBSD® pkgsrc® hasn't
updated from version 1, and OpenBSD ports don't even know what that is
(probably they don't read news? I
don't care though, as MirPorts work on that too). It doesn't play back
the demos (signal 27, SIGPROF, during shelling out to bzcat), and once
perl crashed with signal 6 (SIGABRT) for me, but that might just be an
overly large memory eater…
While building with MALLOC_OPTIONS=AFGHPZ I found a bug in perl(1)'s
regexp code. While caught using the 'P' option (cf. malloc.conf(5)), I
tracked it down to an out-of-bounds write to an array of uint32_ts due
to a false estimate of the array size. I however can't seem to fix it.
Also, and this sucks, I decided to write iconv(1) and locale(1) but as
of now, after trying to hack perl and drinking some Met, can't get my,
admittedly lazy, arse to do it.
On the other hand, I fixed more in cap_mkdb(1) and hope that OpenBSD
will merge the fixes.
I'm also intending to do a quick utf-8 hack to mksh(1) – utf-8
codeset will make backspace remove entire multibyte sequences. Also, I
plan on adding a '-c <charset>' or so flag to the editors in the
base system (i.e. ed(1) and vi(1)) so that it'll setlocale(3), then if
nl_langinfo(3) CODESET replies something different iconv(3) between em
(need to take latin1 fallback for 'C' locale into account, discuss the
issue on mailing list first).
Actually I won't implement the conversion routine for the editors as
I found that it's much easier to just open a pipe to iconv(1), which I
added (written myself) today. locale(1) was taken from TNF though.
Note to self: read operator(7) throughoutly, especially the priority
level of the ?: ternary operator.
The BOSng
Duo has struck again, old fun in a new location, and I found my second
cache rather easily.
Other than that, I guess we have a new snapshot, and frozen-bubble 2
with multiplayer is said to be out. I'll check that ASAP. Update: It's
true, but IMHO, the new dependencies suck a
I'm back, and we have libncursesw-5.5 as libcurses replacement in da
tree. One of my teeth still aches, but the doctor will see after it on
tuesday and pull the strings from the other wounds.
Let's see when I can tend to the other projects… (someone want
to take on wsconfig(8)?)
Today, I recompiled screen and mc, and made centericq (sort of) utf8
capable… enough for what I need.
After the odds and ends from last time, now the Health End: I'll not
be available/online for a few days – I have an appointment at my
dentist (ouch!) tomorrow, for 1½ hours. I'll be recovering at the
best grandmother ever's place for a while afterwards.
Stuff like TeΧ above isn't off-topic, this is open for personal
ramblings after all, dear Benny. But I must say we prefer non-bzip2'd,
i.e. gzip(1)ped or compress(1)ed, distfiles (zip, lzh are even better,
because bzip2 is dead slow and memory hungry), but for e.g. iceweasel,
it's okay to use bzip2 distfiles because nobody's going to compile it,
at least not on a machine below 2 GHz, anyway.
If I can concentrate at all, I've got a few projects I could work at
during the next days. One of these is an ncursesw mirport (including a
"wide" flavour for the lynx mirport), another would be to re-work the,
at least i386, bootloader interna (see below). Also, I've got an idea,
sorry Benny, how to do a new website for us, which I could code first,
propose then. Maybe I'll hack a bit on it. It uses a totally different
approach than both www and web modules.
Bootloader… yeah. A few ideas: make stuff like PBR/bootxx, and
the two MBRs, shell scripts that install themselves, nuke installboot.
We need a C language helper for looking up block numbers (for ffs) but
e.g. CD-ROM or raw disc image installs can do without. I'll try to not
add MirOS specifics, so it could be run on e.g. GNU/Linux too. Also, I
want a micro-PBR which just loads another PBR from say, sector 15 of a
CD-ROM, which fits into the first 128 bytes of the first sector, so it
can coexist with a Sun disklabel. Then, the bootloader could determine
by reading a sector from the disc whether it's El Torito or not, so we
won't need mkisofs(8)' -boot-info-table option any more and can use an
unified bootloader for Live-CD and Live-HDD ;-) boots. That one could,
then, also make use of MBR partitions – for example so we have a
"boot hd0a:/bsd" as usual, "boot hd0,3:/bsd" for MBR partition (that's
the only way to boot off a FAT partition if the disklabel doesn't have
a slice for that filesystem), "boot hd0,2,0:/bsd" for extended ones. A
"machine partinfo" command to display MBR and disklabel entries would,
of course, make sense and complete that all. Finally, if I get the new
installboot(8) replacement to be endian-independent and to convert the
sparc one as well, dual-boot CDs will be much easier. (The sparc stuff
needs a fake disklabel, but we could even hardcode that, much like the
hardcoded MBR for macppc.)
While I was in the train today, I looked at some of the more arcane
inner workings of MirPorts: internal dependency handling.
Packages have dependencies. There are three types of them in
MirPorts: build, run and library dependencies. I won't talk about the
former here. MirPorts inherited a very convoluted way of handling
those dependencies from OpenBSD, including several passes over the
packing list using various scripts and the infamous pkg
utility. pkg is essentially undocumented and constitutes a
failed attempt of Marc Espie to rewrite the pkgtools in perl. It has
only one subcommand, pkg dependencies with three
sub-subcommands show, solve and check.
Dependencies are declared via the LIB_DEPENDS and RUN_DEPENDS
variables in the port Makefile, for example:
From there, they are passed to a recursive solver in bsd.port.mk,
which outputs commands like
into w-*/pkg/depends. The four arguments are called name,
libspec, pattern, and def. The @newdepend directive is for
run depends and does not have a libspec. The depends file is
fed to pkg dependencies solve, which replaces these lines
Note the changed order of the arguments! What it also does is
resolve the dependency and write a static @pkgdep line
on top. All of those are output into w-*/pkg/PLIST. Upon
installation, pkg_add only cares about the @pkgdep
There are a number of problems with this approach. I would like to
replace pkg entirely by C code inside the pkgtools. The
advantage is a much reduced complexity, the removal of the liability
that is pkg, and more flexibility: If packages are upgradeable, the
final resolution of the dependencies should be done by
pkg_add when installing the package. If you have a newer
version of a dependency installed, we can check if the library version
matches and still allow the installation. pkg_upgrade would
also profit massively, as the current implementation leaves the
@pkgdep lines intact so that they are effectively
unfulfilled. This project is promising but it will take me some time.
If you want to discuss this, please use the miros-discuss mailing
I haven't written anything here for quite a while, so here is a
little update. I moved out of France and now live in Saarbrücken.
I will hopefully have both telephone and DSL service soon—it is
scheduled for tuesday, but let's say I will believe it when I see it.
I started work on a port of Qt 4.2.0, as close as possible to the
upstream sources. Those crazy patches from OpenBSD often break more
than they fix. Qt is quite a beast though: a 36 MiB .tar.gz with no
.tar.bz2 available, non-standard configure, .la files generated by C++
code, etc. Now I know why I like Gtk+ better :). Seriously, the
tarball gained more than 4 MiB since 4.1.x. I knew that Mozilla is
bloated (Firef*x is ~36 MiB compressed) but I was shocked to see Qt is
And now for something completely different: While writing the report
for my summer internship, I came across a number of problems regarding
pictures and their insertion into a LaTeX document. I will note my
solutions here so that I don't forget what I did, even if this is a
wee bit off-topic.
First problem: Inserting a plot done with gnuplot. Obviously, there
are many ways to do this but here is what I do. My gnuplot file looks
The "set term" line is the most important here. color solid gets me
a coloured plot without dashed lines. eps generates a correct bounding
box and makes the plot a nice 12x7 cm. enhanced allows me to write
stuff like "CO_2" and accented characters: {\260} for example inserts
the latin-1 character with the octal code 260, a degrees sign. lw 2
makes the lines a bit thicker for better visibility. The 20-point font
is good if you scale down the plot (like me).
Figures you have only as Word drawings are a whole different beast.
But there is a way to do it: First, mark all elements of the drawing,
copy it and insert it into a new document by itself. Important: You
have to position it as close as possible to the lower left corner of
the page, as this the origin in PostScript. Next, use File > Print,
select a PostScript printer and check Print to file. Open the
resulting .prn file in GSview (I assume you are under Windows -- you
use Word, right?). Select File > PS to EPS and uncheck Automatically
calculate Bounding Box. Select the margins of your drawing with the
mouse and save it under a file name ending in .eps.
Now comes the interesting part: You open the .eps file in a text
editor. Among the first lines, you will see a BoundingBox DSC comment,
Note these values. Search for "PageSize". You will find a line
Replace the values in the brackets by the third and fourth value
from the bounding box above. Save and quit. Again, use epstopdf like
above. Open the pdf in Acrobat Reader. It should have only your graph
without any additional white space around. For the insertion into your
LaTeX document, use the same lines as above.
High-End: we now run past 2038 as well: in 2100 (32 bit), almost no-
thing breaks, except a few library functions and ffs (UFSv1) timestam-
ps, in 2200 (33 bit), network and shutdown don't work any more, but we
at least don't crash.
Low-End: I'm helping Vutral (real name known) to install MirOS on an
8 MiB RAM 80486DX system. That's fun, but the serial console is a slow
UMTS link, which is NOT fun.
French-End: Benny apparently is in Germany now and of course, thanks
Deutsche Telekom, he doesn't have internet access. *sigh*
Data-End: I lost herc:/home and one of two underlying parts of raid0
(RAID level 1) alias herc:/ – and as if that would not be enough
I had an rsync accident (missing directory level on destination combi-
ned with --delete) losing most of the stuff in my $HOME which was in a
directory on /… note to self: dont keep backups within $HOME but
use a dedicated directory tree.
GNU End: gcc miscompiles not only C++ but also C code with a certain
option -fomit-frame-pointer – caught by my favourite text editor.
Money End: At last, I get some state money (by far not enough), more
might come, but I'd prefer a job. OTOH they'll pay for new teeth, more
than they had paid if I were employed. But the pain's the same.
Advertising pays off, the Sourcemage guy (morfic) not only fixed the
spell (their lingo for port), but also threw its name into some random
IRC conversations in places I don't dwell. Cool.
I got a surprise when, preparing the new snapshot with Live CD to be
issued, the BSDstats.org code didn't run any more. Luckily, we got the
bugs and updates past that state. Getting ftp(1) to not pretend it can
handle HTTP/1.1 responses did surely help.
Installing Windows® 2000 on a Pentium Ⅰ notebook without a
CD-ROM drive can be entertaining. While it's a real PITA, having MirOS
at hand eases the pain very much. (And I discovered a local DoS attack
in our kernel, default installation, during the process.) However, the
ancient game (Age of Empires Ⅰ) I was installing… I needed
a no-cd crack, and all failed but one, which was merely a text file of
15k credits and four "patch these and be happy" instructions
– what I did. Now, which editor can I use on DOS for a 1'622'016
bytes executable? Volkov Commander and debug.exe fail, so I used jupp.
Yes, right. A Cygwin compiled (4 files: libcygwin, libncurses, jupprc,
jupp) executable of my favourite text editor. And it worked for me and
saved my arse from the pain of copying back and forth, without a putty
installed (yet – will follow). To only change a 7504 conditional
jump into an EB63 at D769F and adjust F7D8 at D7706 to 4090 is enough,
contrary to the beliefs of people making 500+ KiB RAR/ACE files with a
PE binary (can you spell trojan?) inside. Anyway, the laptop initially
wasn't intended for gaming but for office work under Windows. However,
the hardware (Compaq Armada 4220T) is cool, so I saved some 384 MiB on
wd0 for a full (yet kept quite minimal) MirOS+X11 install, using a DOS
PAGEFILE.SYS for swap.
I spotted quite some bugs working on the snapshot – I believe,
it's already in a much better shape than #9. And I kept a few
great ideas for past the snapshot, even. (So that people can upgrade a
running system to get the security fixes, some of which I incorporated
before That Ơther BSD.) What I didn't spot is Benny.
Did some serious FreeWRT hacking at wbx@' place yesterday. He showed
me how to roll my own Sushi and we had enough wine to get me a serious
hangover today.
Benny and I agreed on renaming #9bis into #10 because some seriously
deep changes which could not entirely be avoided. This way we can also
polish a little more and make one or two user-visible changes, but I'm
trying to not delay the release any more for that reason. Afterwards a
#11 will be released, with the goal "sync with OpenBSD 4". I
also have plans for #12 which will take quite a long time.
then I mark the filename with the mouse, type "jupp ", hit the
middle mouse button, press return. That could be easier. Plan 9.
A person asked me in private mail how he could use the root account,
on his freshly installed (in MS Virtual PC) MirOS. I told him that one
uses sudo(8), but I still wonder why people do not ask in public, on a
mailing list. Even if you ask in German there, you won't be considered
impolite because about half of our usership could still make use of an
answer in that language. (Of course it's better to write English.) But
keeping these mailing lists and the archives is work, so, please, if a
question appears, use these, or at least IRC.
Update: looks like it's greylisting. If the 451 is received the user
gets a failure reply even though the message will be sent correctly ~4
hours later. If everyone would just be using IPv6… at this rate,
spammers will be using IPv6 before the rest of the world. Even the uni
make(1) needs a break-and-continue mode. Oh, and, if you change some
types in the compiler, make sure to re-build and install all libraries
before rebuilding the system, otherwise xlock might not link because a
symbol was missing in libstdc++ (do I need to change the shlib version
now? no idea, I think nm might know).
I hope the last wlog entry did not scare too many of you. First, I'm
apologising to Benny for slandering his effort. Second, MirOS is going
to continue, and in fact, Benny and I have talked about long-term plan
(not 9) regarding packages, syspkgs, and so on. This is, seriously, an
idea that will take years to complete, so we won't discuss it for now,
unless someone asks us (over a few beers *hint hint*).
While my work situation did not improve yet, I hope to be invited to
a personal talk at some companies soon… who knows…
I hacked quite well on fwcf – our first hosted foreign project
– that's some good creative work, finally.
-rHEAD contains lots of security updates; yes I promised a snapshot,
quite some time ago actually, to be out shortly. Okay okay.
The more you work with software, the more it sucks. I found out that
I have to rewrite at least mksh(1)'s emacs editing mode, due to design
bugs rendering command-line editing with tabs broken, but better re-do
the whole damned thing (taking 64-bit integers and wide chars into the
initial design considerations). Same goes for MirPorts, after stumping
across a bazillion more quoting bugs. If I had the money…
A computer-illiterate visitor today decided the new design sucks too
and prefers the old one. Yay! I still wonder why we didn't keep my CMS
(or rather, excuse for not having a CMS) and changed only the content;
dynamic page elements, such as news or wlog, could've been implemented
within the existing framework as well.
Yep, MirOS now hosts foreign projects within its CVS. Trusted people
only, of course.
I'm missing a lot more catch-up things but you should have a look at
BSDstats and their sub-page over MirOS.
Somehow I've been missing "the spirit" lately. Add to that
the truth that, out of MirOS, I've basically written nothing,
only doing integration work or writing (sometimes larger, such as with
e.g. djbdns) patches. Even these rarely add major functionality. Magic
is only contained in the one thing I have really written myself and of
which I can be proud, the licence. Sucks, if you consider yourself not
a lawyer but a programmer, eh? On the other hand, integration work is,
both, importand and a good starting point into snapping how all works.
Maybe I should really "clone" MirBSD again, this time not as
an OpenBSD fork, but as a modular smallish system not even self-hosted
in the beginning. Starting with the cvs- and ctm-based infrastructure,
then some kind of packaging tools, initial utilities including an mksh
rewrite, a bootloader, kernel, installer, third-party apps. But that's
a thing I can't do alone unless I dedicate myself fully to it and some
other person maintains MirOS. I guess I will never get that far. Wise,
it is not, to reinvent the wheel. Building upon and improving existing
solutions (which suck) is the way to go in this world. Does this suck?
I guess it does. And I guess I'm not the first dreamer.
Yeah, to hell with OSI, the FSF now has two webpages which are under
the MirOS licence: mksh's
page and mirmake's
page, and the page of
jupp the editor. Cool!
We have a new design, I
must say I'm… shocked. (And make these <h2> smaller in the
CSS, please.)
Okay, the new website is online, with fixes.
I don't think using other peoples' design is a good thing, because, if
you don't use a design of your own which you don't licence to
others freely, you aren't safe from copycats. This is a reason for the
"must not copy the design of MirOS or (my) personal webpage"
clause in the old www/LICENCE file, by the way. (I don't like the news
entry format much – it has too much red tape (everything before,
and especially the colon-space (use an equals sign, if you're
going to use a key-value pair at all!), in the header).
Played with MacOS 7.5.3 in Basilisk Ⅱ and SheepShaver today. I
think the GUI is quite intuitive. The OSnews article on GEOS was quite
the good read for the evening too, and fasm (flat assembler) looks not
bad either, and it has a funny BSD-style licence.
On the other hand I ended up doing my own letter form for a DIN 5008
letter all afternoon, because there are no good ones available, and no
single one for Lotus Word Pro 9.5 (Millennium Edition) for Windows, at
all! This sucks, the freely available specs (the standard itself costs
some 30-50 €) suck and contradict themselves, but IMHO, I crafted
something usable which doesn't make me look bad to my hopefully future
employer at the first look. (On related news, I am still looking for a
job, anyone?)PS: Long live (AFPL) Ghostscript!
I'm pondering to release mksh R28 now, codename Pleitegeier
(not an austrian word though). I should
move some of the MI Plan 9 support code into the branch though, as I'm
suspicious of it causing issues with job control in Plan 9 itself. The
FSF and
UNESCO directory of Free Software sadly still doesn't list it.
I should convert the entire repository to strict ISO_646.irv:1991 or
UTF-8 conformance. Maybe post-#9bis, because I'd really like to get it
out of the doors, but then really (including change logs, mailx(1) and
submit.cf default, etc.) and correctly.
Cygwin, Interix, various Mac and Windows instances, GNU and BSD suck
all, just in different flavours and strengths. And Solaris is
the funny dot on the i. (What is Plan 9 APE then? I guess I don't want
to even know.)
I've built MirOS (base and gcc) entirely on the sparc and have fixed
the GNU Debugger in the progress as well. I'll have to change a little
code in order to silent gcc, but that's not much left.
In order to fix a few security leaks, I updated libpng and freetype2
as well. I yet have to re-build the entire X-Windowing system in order
to test whether this actually does not break anything. Neither has the
XFree86 environment been ported to the new sparc system.
After the bump of autoconf to version 2.60 everything must be tested
and libtool ought to be bumped as well.
Finally, I must make sure that distrib/ works on sparc and release a
first snapshot – optimally as live-cd :) but I'm not going there
On a rainy day, I'm continuing to hack on sparc again. I haven't yet
found why dynamic linking breaks, just how to break it even more, plus
without a working gdb there isn't much I can do. On the other hand, my
kernel didn't panic yet, so I'm going to make it a static arch for now
and get back to ld.so(1) support later.
On a related side note, we're currently developing #9-stable in HEAD
and will branch that later. I want a #9bis to be out both as soon as I
can and sparc works reliably, and with as few differences from #9semel
as possible. This also gives us a chance to polish ports and docs.
Oh, and FrOSCon was a full success, best event I ever attended. I've
intended to write more here but I'm still done with.
Which <censored/> set the maximum datasize for sparc to a mere
128 MiB, in contrast to i386's 1 GiB? Bumped to 320 MiB in order to be
able to build gcc… kernel really seems stable now, compiled both
cross and natively.
I'm committing this as 2006-06-25, but actually, I haven't slept for
more than 31 (thirty-one) hours now, so it could very well be
under 2006-06-24. I'm going to sleep now, but not without releasing an
ISO of MirOS #9semel on BitTorrent.
There's now a new BitTorrent info page not linked
anywhere except from the tracker (and here). It ought to describe what
the torrent will give you.

Electricity From Cow Flops
The Stirling engine has been around for 193 years, but the reason it is not part of your everyday energy vocabulary is that it is only 20 percent efficient at converting burned fuel to electricity. That’s far too low for developed countries. But in the developing world, where about a quarter of the world’s people live, it might be good enough. In many of those places, people are still burning wood and kerosene to cook their food and light their homes.
Dean Kamen revisited the Stirling engine—not to make it more efficient but to make it sturdier. He and his engineers at Deka revamped the engine to make it maintenance-free.
Villagers shoveled cow dung into a pit, over which a dome collected the methane, carbon dioxide, and other effluent that seeped out of the waste. They then diverted the useful parts into the Stirling, which burned the fumes as fuel and generated energy. People came to the engine once a day to charge the batteries in their LED lanterns.
Morgan lets out a resigned sigh. “We’re going to take your s**t and burn it!”

One of my grandfather's friends owned a grocery store, and he got me a job bagging groceries after school so I could earn money for my car. Old man Luke was a meticulous, micro-managing monster who ran his grocery store with the finality of a mob boss. He had a particular way to bag groceries. He had a specific way to mop the floors, and cleaning the toilets was an exact science from which there was no acceptable level of deviation. He sat in the customer service stand and directed the employees like a malevolent orchestra conductor, "You there, sweep the floor!Put the carts over there, do it now. Cavner, cans on the bottom, BREAD on the top!"
After a painful week learning the ropes I received my first paycheck. The old man handed it down from his service counter with authority. I grabbed the envelope and anxiously peeled the top open. Forty-seven dollars and twelve cents. It was going to take years to buy that Mustang. "Next week, I am going to teach you how to clean the toilets," he smiled. I inquired if the added responsibility would come with a raise to which he responded, "Certainly not, you learn to clean a toilet properly and you will barely be worth what I am paying you now."
The old man's voice boomed over our heads, "Cavner, get up here now!" I put the flour on top of the eggs I was bagging and ran to the service desk. He slammed a newspaper on the desk, "Did you clean the bathroom exactly as I directed you?" I knew I hadn't given it my all but I wasn't going to ever admit it. "Yes," I responded. He handed me my check and said, "Your FIRED!"
The next day after school, instead of going to work I went straight home, still angry at having lost my job; still mad at the old man for being such a control enthusiast. As I sat about drowning my sorrows in a huge bowl of Lucky Charms there was a very deliberate pounding at the front door. It was old man Luke. I opened the door. "Why aren't you at work," He demanded. "You fired me, remember?" He scowled and said, "Just because I fired you doesn't mean you give up. Get in the car, the bathrooms need cleaning."

The institution of slavery has served tos. The distinction between ‘closed’ and ‘open’ slavery can be a useful one: in some societies slavery is a mechanism for the permanent exclusion of certain individuals from political and economic privileges, while in others it has served precisely to facilitate the integration of outsiders into the community. ‘The ,nts…by care and diligence, he may soon become a master himself, and even more rich and powerful than he who led him captive.’ The model of an ‘open’ slavery implies that service as a slave is not a state to which a person is permanently, let alone ‘naturally’, assigned, but more akin to an age-grade. A parallel might be domestic or agricultural service as it was practised in much of Europe until this century — a period spent serving in another household after childhood and prior to marriage. A Roman slave, on formal manumission, joined the community of citizens. To what extent ought we therefore to succumb to the temptation to see slavery at Rome — in contrast to the Greek world — in terms of the ideal type of a ‘process of integration’?

Q: How can you link a type's values sequentially to integers? I am trying to have a program that takes a number from the user (from 1 - 12) and it will return that month's short form, eg: if you write 1 it will return JAN etc.
type Month_Type is (;
but how do I link this to userMonth : Integer;. I thought something like Month_Type(userMonth) but this didn't work and gave me errorloop for each Month_Type and have a counter in there so that it matches. But this seems messy and not very efficient, there must be a better way.
A: In Ada you can do it much easier:
type Month_Type is (Jan, Feb, Mar, [...], Dec);
package Month_Text_IO is new Ada.Text_IO.Enumeration_IO (Month_Type);
Input : Month_Type;
Month_Text_IO.Get (Input);
No need to handle integer values in between.
A: Among the Operations of Discrete Types, the attribute 'Val denotes a function that returns a value of the type Month_Type whose position number equals the value of the argument passed to it. For example, the expression Month_Type'Val(0) would evaluate to JAN.
Note that the internal code used by the attribute is unaffected by an Enumeration Representation Clause. Given a declaration such as userMonth : constant := 1, use the expression Month_Type'Val(userMonth - 1).
When using a representation clause with GNAT, the implementation defined attribute 'Enum_Val denotes a function that "re." Using the representation clause suggested here, the expression Month_Type'Enum_Val(userMonth) would evaluate to JAN without adjustment.
A: As a complement of the oth
This is useful if you need to interface your code with other software that might be not coded in Ada.

JAN => 1,
