Humanitarian Updates
Thousands of kilos of trash removed from Bali's beaches
Surfersvillage Global Surf News, 22 April, 2014 - Saturday, April 19th saw the final Bali Beach Clean Up event of the wet season wrap up with over 200 participants treated to a free breakfast at the Quiksilver Boardriders Café on Jalan Legian in Kuta, a well-earned thank you for their hard work and dedication over the last two months.
During the four Beach Clean Up events held from March to April at Kuta Beach, Legian Beach, and Kedonganan Beach, a total of 1,000 people collected over 3,000 kgs of trash in an effort to provide clean and beautiful beaches for everyone to enjoy and to reinforce the message that trash needs to be put in trash bins and properly disposed of for the good of Bali and its tourism industry.
Participating partners including the Hard Rock Hotel, Hard Rock Café, Inna Grand Kuta, Harris Hotel Kuta, Paradiso, Surfer Girl, Garuda Indonesia, Coca-Cola Amatil Indonesia, and Quiksilver all sent staff to help out at each event. They were joined by local surfers and surfing organizations, photographers, journalists, business owners, and private citizens.
"Thank you to all the local community participants for joining the effort, as this trash on Bali's beaches is a large issue but when the community works together with a common goal they can achieve positive results. We look forward to initiating similar beach clean ups again towards the end of the year as the monsoon currents and winds bring more trash back to Bali's beaches," said Sammy Gosling, Quiksilver SEA Marketing Executive
"This community initiative has definitely set a good example on how we should be careful with our trash disposal, and we look forward to continuing to help keep Bali beautiful" added Ayu Hartini, CSR Manager at Surfer Girl.
"As one of Kuta Beach's major stakeholders, the Hard Rock Hotel Bali commits itself to this Beach Clean Up Program. We urge everyone to start the habit of proper waste management and not to leave any trash on the beach, wherever you are," concluded Fandy Lo, Marketing Communication Manager Hard Rock Hotel Bali.
Although this wet season Beach Clean Up program has come to an end, the 80 dedicated full time staff of the Quiksilver, Coca-Cola and Garuda Indonesia CSR Beach Clean Up program will continue to help keep our beaches clean. Next time you are at the beach please help them by putting your rubbish in the bin and picking up any rubbish you come across.

More Input, Better Decisions
Posted on October 10, 2013 by Richard Einarson
Re: Edmonton Journal, GrahamThomson: Redford government ducking a legal broadside, October 8
"A direct apprehension of bias."
For the non-lawyers among us that's legalese for "you can't pick and choose who you want to listen to based on what they might say." Sadly the Redford government has been caught red-handed doing just that when Court of Queen's Bench Justice Marceau ruled they broke their own rules by not allowing environmental groups to comment on oilsands projects. Regardless of your position on oilsands development, it is a fundamental principle of democracy that the people have a say.
Democracy can be a messy business, but if we don't listen to a diverse range of viewpoints we will never improve and we will never earn the elusive 'social license' that will allow us to expand oilsands production. When Alison Redford travels the world promoting our open, transparent and strong regulations her message is undermined by her government's actions. Put another way, we can't say one thing and do another, then wonder why no one believes us.
There are two ways to fix this problem. We can listen to all perspectives on oilsands development, regardless of what people might say, or we can change the rules to limit input. Unfortunately Alison Redford has chosen the second path.
There's a funny thing about transparency; more input from more perspectives leads to better projects. If projects are worthwhile, and if they address environmental concerns, they will be approved, no matter who we allow to speak. The more input, the better the decisions.
In a democracy is that too much to ask?

Caring for your family in a disaster
If you're pregnant or have a baby to care for, being prepared for a disaster can help you keep everyone safe and healthy.
If you're pregnant or have young children, talk to your family's health care providers to plan what to do in case of a disaster.
Plan with your partner where you'll go if you have to evacuate (leave the area where you live).
Pack a "disaster bag" with clothes, shoes, supplies and medicine.
Be aware of dangers, like unsafe food, water and chemicals, in and around your home after a disaster.
What is a disaster?
A disaster is an event that brings extreme stress into your life. It may happen as a part of nature, like a flood, earthquake or storm. These often are called natural disasters. Or a disaster may be a car accident, a crime or a terrorist attack. It can affect:
- Where you live
- How you get food and gas
- Having electricity, heat and air conditioning
- Having phone service
- How you move from place to place
- How you get medical care
If you're pregnant or already have a baby, taking care of yourself and your family can be stressful by itself, and even more so in or after disaster. Being prepared can help you cope.
How can you get prepared before a disaster?
Here's what you can do:
- If you're pregnant, talk to your health care provider about what to do in case of a disaster, especially if you've had pregnancy complications or you're close to your due date. If you already have a baby, talk to his provider about a disaster plan. If your baby is in the neonatal intensive care unit (also called NICU), ask about the hospital's plan.
- Be ready to follow local or state evacuation instructions. Officials will tell you when to evacuate (leave) and when it's safe to go back home. Talk to your partner about where you'll go if you have to leave. You may be able to stay with family and friends, or you may need stay in a shelter. If you're pregnant, find out about hospitals in the area where you're planning to go.
- Tell your providers where you plan to go and how to contact you. If you have a case manager or are in a program like Healthy Start or Nurse Family Partnership, tell your case manager your plans and your phone number. A case manager is someone who helps you get health care.
- Make a list of important phone numbers, including your partner and your providers. Keeping these numbers in your phone is great, but its battery may run low. Write the numbers on paper, too.
- Get copies of medical records for you, your partner and your children, including a list of medicines each of you takes and vaccinations you've had. If you're pregnant, include the name of your prenatal vitamin on the list. Your baby needs regular scheduled vaccinations, especially after a disaster. If you can't get to your baby's provider because of a disaster, ask your local health department about how to keep your baby on schedule.
- If you're pregnant, learn the signs of preterm labor. This is labor that happens before 37 weeks of pregnancy. Stress can lead to preterm labor, and what's more stressful than a disaster? If you have any signs of preterm labor, call your provider right away. If you're in a shelter, tell someone in charge that you need medical care.
- Pack a "disaster bag" of clothes, medicine, vitamins, snacks and supplies that may be helpful to you if you have to leave your home.
Here's what you can put in your disaster bag:
- Clothes and medicine for you and everyone in your family. Make sure you all have comfortable shoes.
- For your baby, diapers, toys, pacifiers, blankets and a carrier or portable crib. You also can include a rectal thermometer and non-aspirin liquid pain reliever.
- Food, snacks and bottled water. If your baby eats formula or baby food, include them. Pack chlorine or iodine tablets to treat tap water (water from a faucet).
- Hand sanitizer
- Batteries, flashlights and a portable radio
- Prenatal vitamins
- If you're breastfeeding, a manual pump and clean bottles
What can you do about unsafe food and water from a disaster?
If you can't refrigerate or cook food because of a disaster, it may spoil. Harmful bacteria and viruses can grow in or on spoiled food. These can make you and your family really sick. Don't eat or feed anyone in your family spoiled food or food you think may be spoiled. A food may be spoiled if it looks or smells bad or if the date on the package has passed.
If you don't have drinking water in your home or if you're worried that it's not safe to drink, use bottled water. Follow official announcements about tap water (water from your faucet) and instructions about how to boil tap water for cooking, cleaning and bathing.
If you can't boil water, use chlorine or iodine tablets. Follow the directions on the package. Don't use water treated with iodine or chlorine to prepare formula for your baby. And keep water that's been treated away from your children.
Sometimes flooding happens with a disaster. Flood water may contain harmful substances like bacteria that may cause serious disease. Protect yourself with rubber gloves and boots, and don't let your baby near the water. Use soap and clean water to wash any parts of you or your baby that may come in contact with flood water. If you or your baby swallows flood water and gets sick, tell her provider right away.
What can you do about harmful chemicals from a disaster?
During disasters, chemicals may be damaged at places like manufacturing plants, oil refineries and even farms and homes. These chemicals may get into the air and water where you live.
Listen for state and local announcements about harmful chemicals in your area. Local officials may not let you return home until they've made sure the area is safe. Tell provider if you think you or your baby has been exposed to harmful chemicals. Or call the Organization of Teratology Information Specialists (also called OTIS) at (866) 626-6847.
If you think you or someone in your family has been exposed to harmful chemicals:
- Call 911 or Poison Control at (800) 222-1222. Or go to poison.org.
- Immediately wash skin that may have had contact with a chemical.
- Remove and throw away any clothing that the person was wearing when she had contact with the chemical.
- Report any chemical spills to local authorities or the Environmental Protection Agency (also called EPA) National Response Center at (800) 424-8802.
What can you do if a disaster damages your home?
If your home has been damaged, ask family and friends to help with repairs and clean up. There may be disaster workers in your community who can help. Depending on your home's condition, you may need to hire professionals to do the work.
When you and your family return home:
- If you're pregnant, don't do hard, physical work, like lifting and carrying heavy items.
- Be careful of falling on stairs or when stepping over debris (pieces of things damaged or destroyed).
- Stay away from exposed electrical wires to keep from getting shocked.
- Stay away from bacteria and mold on walls, floors, furniture and carpet. You may need to hire professionals to remove mold from your home.
How can you relieve stress that comes with a disaster?
To help with physical stress, rest as much as you can, don't get overheated and try to eat regular, healthy meals.
To help with emotional stress, share your worries and concerns with a friend, family member, health care provider or counselor. Try to talk to someone for at least a few minutes each day.
The stress of a disaster can affect your relationships. Abuse from your partner or anyone else is never OK. It's not OK to be hit, kicked or pushed. It's not OK for someone to yell at you, scare you or call you names. If you're being abused, tell a friend or your provider. Or call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at (800) 799-SAFE (7233) or 1-800-787-3224 (TDD).
If you've recently had a baby, be aware of the baby blues and postpartum depression (also called PPD). These conditions can affect how you feel and act. Baby blues are feelings of sadness that may begin 3 to 5 days after having a baby and usually go away about 10 days after your baby's birth. If they don't, tell your health care provider. PPD is strong feelings of sadness or worry that last a long time. PPD can happen any time in the first year after having a baby. If you're worried about the baby blues or PPD, tell your provider. If you're worried that you may hurt yourself or your baby, call 911.

Earning Gold in World of Warcraft
The Auction House is a Money Machine
The AH lets you turn your items into gold. Learning how to effectively use the AH is a critical step in moving towards WoW riches. Not knowing how to properly use it will result in underperforming and a lot of frustration.
One of the ways you can make the AH more effective is by using an add-on. The Auctioneer add-on can be downloaded at http://auctioneeraddon.com. Once you master this add-on the Auction house will become much easier and more profitable to use.
Trade Skill Items
As is so often the case in WoW, players are lazy and are unwilling to do hard work. If you do put in the hard work you will get big rewards however. One way that you can make good amounts of gold is by farming trade skill items.
Reputation Based Items
By building up your reputation you'll get offered high value items at lower prices. Use these to you advantage by reselling them for a profit. You'd be surprised at the number of players in WoW who would rather pay for something than source it themselves.
To discover the techniques WoW Masters use to make massive amounts of Gold in WoW, read this revealing Warcraft Millionaire Review. To access more WoW tips and tricks, visit http://www.secrets-of-wow.com

Questions for a Friday
Hallo! Haven't posted in a while but have been lurking about. ;-]
Haven't really finished anything, too darn hot in central CA to knit in the summer.
I have a couple questions for a Friday:
a) What knitting apps do you recommend or not recommend? I'm iphone specific, but if you have an Android app opinion, I'm sure someone would find it useful.

Hey Scott, thanks a lot for the patch. I really appreciate it. It still amazes me that you were able to virtually fix this thing in a matter of days by yourself. I only notice two issues on the beta patch.
1. The characters either don't cast shadows or they cast shadows that look like giant black blocks. The objects that are supposed to cast shadows don't cast shadows either.
2. The water is white in some areas.
Besides that this patch is perfect.

You've done a great job, thanks!
I can live with the remaining glitches, but the slow loading is frustrating. Is there any chance that the loading can be speeded up in a future version of this patch (or an official patch from 2k)?

I'm trying to get this beta 1 working on the actual game (not the demo). I've replaced the shaders.spk file and deleted the .pcs files but I still have the same results as before.

Any ideas??

Friends and family of Jorge "George" Abi Rached, a longtime San Antonian who died June 6, said farewell to him Saturday with poetry and song. His very large family Mexican/Lebanese family gathered not to mourn his passing but to celebrate his 84 years.
His life was purposeful, his daughter, and my friend, Marilu Abi Rached-Reyna said.
Across town on the grounds of HemisFair Park, Texans — including those from of Lebanese and Mexican heritage — gathered, too. Archbishop Gustavo Garcia-Siller told them that diversity should be embraced. It was a good sermon that needs repeating.
Near the grounds of the annual Texas Folklife Festival, where people come out to celebrate diversity, Archbishop Gustavo called it beautiful, comparing it to the colors and shapes that form a stained-glass window.
Abi Rached's eulogy gave testimony to that idea and another truth: That one doesn't need a fortune to enrich the lives of many.
Marilu's Dad did that by loving his neighbors, literally. "Someone told me yesterday that the neighborhood would not be the same without him," she said.
He rode his bike through it every day, and his garage was filled with every tool imaginable. His neighbors depended on him and the tools he shared. Over the years, he fixed a lot of flat tires. He opened his wallet to those in need and always shared his wisdom, Marilu said.
He made memories for his children by taking them on vacations. Many of those in the small chapel Saturday already knew that he built every inch of his home, raising a family in it. He celebrated the many good days and endured the sorrows associated with that work, including the loss of a son way before his time.
He lived to help care of grandchildren, promptly picking them from school, and he cared for his wife after a stroke. They were married for more than 50 years.
His family paid tribute to his Lebanese and Mexican roots. They remembered that he grew up in Veracruz and immigrated from Tamaulipas, and that his father immigrated to Mexico from Lebanon.
"There are three phases of death," Marilu said, quoting Gabriel Garcia Marquez, "one when the last breath is taken, second when the soul leaves the body and lastly when there is no one left to share the memory of the dead."
So his beautiful daughter asked those in that chapel to never forget.
My guess is they never will.

Labour's big theme has been posed as a question all week, not least by Bill Clinton. Has the party still got the will - the policies and unity of purpose - to remain in government after a bruising decade? By the time John Prescott had told the bike joke for the umpteenth time yesterday (proof of "Tory hypocrisy" not of hopeless PR) and delegates headed for home, the answer appeared to be a firm "Yes, but". Questions remain.
They are not exhausted as Labour was in 1951, nowhere near as divided as they were when driven from office in 1970 and again in 1979, not seduced by opinion poll talk of a healing period in opposition after 2009-10. When Clinton warned them how quickly a rightwing government (ie Bush's) could unpick their reforms, delegates roared with pain.
True, the leadership was defeated in Manchester (it is most years), primarily on the pace and direction of NHS reform. Promises of wider consultation were not enough to placate the unions. But Blair and Brown were united on the issue and Patricia Hewitt's speech was deft enough to defuse much anger and therefore, as she ruefully noted later, won her nil publicity.
Nonetheless, commentators detecting unbridled poison and spite in the G-Mex conference hall or fringe must have been trying really hard. The paranoia which rival camps feel towards each other is real and (sometimes) understandable. But most people seemed relieved this week has gone so well.
What came out of yesterday's speeches is that bruiser John Reid is emerging as the most likely Anyone But Gordon (ABG) candidate, taking pokes at both Brown and Bush. He has the wherewithal to be prime minister, papabile as fellow-Catholics say of their cardinals. But the chancellor would still need a pretty spectacular disaster, personal or economic, to lose his commanding lead. Monday's speech was not brilliant but was good enough. Brown is so close now that he dare not try to snatch the crown.
But Blairites must not overplay their hand. If, as some fear, Brown will lose in 2010, they do not want to be blamed for stabbing him in the back in 2007.

Possibilities of a Personal Laser Scanning System for Forest Mapping and Ecosystem Services
AbstractA professional-quality, personal laser scanning (PLS) system for collecting tree attributes was demonstrated in this paper. The applied system, which is wearable by human operators, consists of a multi-constellation navigation system and an ultra-high-speed phase-shift laser scanner mounted on a rigid baseplate and consisting of a single sensor block. A multipass-corridor-mapping method was developed to process PLS data and a 2,000 m2 forest plot was utilized in the test. The tree stem detection accuracy was 82.6%; the root mean square error (RMSE) of the estimates of tree diameter at breast height (DBH) was 5.06 cm; the RMSE of the estimates of tree location was 0.38 m. The relative RMSE of the DBH estimates was 14.63%. The results showed, for the first time, the potential of the PLS system in mapping large forest plots. Further research on mapping accuracy in various forest conditions, data correction methods and multi-sensoral positioning techniques is needed. The utilization of this system in different applications, such as harvester operations, should also be explored. In addition to collecting tree-level and plot-level data for forest inventory, other possible applications of PLS for forest ecosystem services include mapping of canopy gaps, measuring leaf area index of large areas, documenting and visualizing forest routes feasible for recreation, hiking and berry and mushroom picking.

This week it's back to school for my girls who've enjoyed a long 2 month summer holiday!
I managed to squeeze in a little sewing at the weekend and made a set of book covers for my younger daughter.
She chose some great fabric from my stash, and loves her new books. At least hers will stand out at school - nobody is likely to have the same covers!!
So how about you? What have you been up to this week? Let's get this party started and find out!
Welcome to this week's linky party. A place where you can link up your posts and creations, and be inspired by others.
Tuits are very hard to come by, especially the round ones. For years people have been saying, "I'll do it as soon as I get a round tuit". Well now you can have one of your very own, and all those jobs that have needed doing will finally get done!

The Real Objective of the Iraq War
Finally! The real reason for the Iraq war is out: to make big money for the oil companies. All the bulls--t about WMDs and democracy was just a smoke screen. It always was about money for the oil companies.
Four years, thousands of Americans killed and maimed, hundreds of thousands of Iraqis killed and maimed, over a trillion dollars in past and future costs and all for what? To enrich big oil companies.
If this does not rate impeachment, removal from office and life in prison without parole for Bush and Cheney, what does?
An article in the Independent explains it all. The oil companies will invest in drilling and producing shipping the oil and keep most of the profits. And the profits are huge.
The irony is it would have been cheaper and required no killing, maiming and destruction if Bush and Cheney had simply stolen the money from the U.S. Treasury and given it to Exxon and the other oil giants.
By the way, I said all this in my November 26, 2005 post on this blog, entitled: "The Confession of George W. Bush."

Video on the Samsung Galaxy Nexus is captured in glorious 1080p Full HD and looks fantastic on that screen. It's not amazing when transferred back to a computer, but it's not so bad that you'll want to throw the handset under a bus.
For some reason, Samsung has seen fit to include more customisation options within the phone's video player than the actual camera. In here, there are scene modes, time-lapse options and some rather strange effects that look like they've been created after one too many jugs of Scotch.
We're not exaggerating. We're talking making your background look like you're in space or framed by a sunset. Or at least, that's the plan. But it just looks like a bit of a mess.
It's not all bad news though - for example, going from darkness to bright light is handled exceptionally well. And sound quality is reproduced well on top of that.
For a point and shoot or casual video-maker, this is a passable effort. But if you're one of those people hoping to replace your Flip HD or digital camera with your smartphone's camera, you'll be sorely disappointed in this.
Footage taken in bright daylight is clear, and sound is well reproduced. The video camera seems capable of following quick moving subjects with little effort.
You can shoot video with the light on or off. Shooting with it off in dimly lit conditions is a bit hit or miss, but going from darkness into bright light is handled very well indeed.
The option to make your background look like you're in space is either psychedelic or psychotic. We can't work out which. We'd have been much happier if Samsung and Google had spent more time working together to create a better camera app than messing around with pointless tweaks like this.
More usefully, the Samsung Galaxy Nexus comes with a 'Movie Studio' app, which lets you edit clips together, add a title and add various effects such as sepia or negative to clips you've already shot. It's pretty basic stuff, but a lot more welcome and useful than the silly effects built into the camera.

I h8 all u clocks
Argh u clocks drive me nuts I only saw that so i could rate 0! I h8 u clocks so much! errr.........*cough.........thats it
Oh boy... where to start?
First, your grammar and typing is wonderful. You show a lot of effort in your reviews, what with all those "8's" and "u's." I can also see that you back up your arguments well--you listed so many reasons to vote low, I can only dream to one day become as comprehensive and insightful as you.
I'm very impressed with your ability to zealously hate a flash genre and all artists attributed to it, and even be able to analytically judge flash movies, when you haven't even been around NG for a month. You're purely genius. I envy your brilliance.
Now go learn to type and support your arguments, you closed-minded, naive, poorly-named, newbish ass hole.
That Was So Funny! Especially The "Terrorists Win" Part!
:] Glad you enjoyed it.
It didn't seem rushed
It was a flash for Clock Day and I didn't see it getting rushed. Maybe you had time until Clock Day came and was getting short on time, but this flash was good with Strawberry and Clear. I did laugh when you added a Pokemon onto that flash. A bit random for some flash like this. Anyway, good work.
You can tell that it's rushed because:
Backgrounds were awful.
I didn't bother to remake the characters, which I normally do.
All the ending stuff was sorta thrown together on the last day, which you can tell by the crappy blood and poop splat drawings I did.
Lack of cameos that I planned on using.
Lack of body movements.
No movie menu. (during-movie quality, pause, scene changer, etc.)
Anyhoo, I'm glad you thought it was good. :]
We all love you masquatto
Aw shucks.
that was funny
but when you said 'no-one gives a fuck about what you have to say' that was stupid, strawberry clock is king of the portal o.k?
Others disagreed on that option psyche, but you're entitled to your opinion. :0
Of course he is. :}
Glad you thought it was funny. :]

Compare Brightness:
LumensThe amount of light that comes from a bulb, which has commonly been measured in watts. The more lumens, the brighter the bulb.
WattageA measurement of the power delivered to a component of an electric circuit (allowing a one-ampere current to flow through the component under the pressure of 1 volt.)
Bulb ShapeBulb shapes are denoted with a letter, which describes the shape, and a number, which indicates the size. The number indicates the diameter of the light bulb at its widest part in eighths of an inch.
BaseThe part of the bulb that connects to the fixture and its power supply. Bulb bases are denoted with the letter E, and a number which indicates the diameter of the bulb base at its widest part in millimeters.
VoltageIndicates how much voltage a bulb can accept via the fixture it's installed in.
Light Color TemperatureThe relative color from a light source, measured on the Kelvin temperature scale. Warm light is lower in color temperature (2700-3000 K) and cool, blue light is higher (5000 K).
Average Rated LifeThe average amount time that a bulb is expected to last.
CRICRI = color rendering index. This number, which can go from 0 to 100, measures the ability of a light or bulb accurately renders colors. The higher the number, the better, with most quality bulbs these days measuring at least in the 80s.

The game got pulled off of Xbox Live:
It's a game that generally punishes selfish players. If you're not willing to help your team out you're setting yourself up to implode; while on the other side, if you play on a team where all four members make it a priority to help one another, you're difficult to beat.
I got this from an email tip with a readme file attached, that was my source.
However, if you're looking to whine about smaller sites spamming on N4G, you should direct your malcontent at the hundreds of relentlessly biased flame articles that are posted and popularized on this site everyday.
Valve said a while back that the numbers for their February 50% off sale they offered on steam (a weekend sale that was extended into five days) beat the game's launch numbers.
Supposedly it's a mic accessory...think it vibrates?
really fun, addictive game, well worth the Lincoln.
yeah, I was surprised it wasn't posted already.
Fable 2 over Fallout 3 for GOTY is a real bailout.
I give the advantage to FO3 for better leveling system, engaging NPC's, using weapons, questing...the list goes on.
If you've played both games you'll realize that the scope of Fallout 3 goes far beyond anything Fable 2 could ever realize.
The title is horribly misleading, not that anyone with any gaming knowledge would be baited by this...right dudes?....right?
I would love to see this title released for the Motorola Krave. I think the full touch screen display make it a perfect candidate. I've been a fan of this thing ever since I started working with Motorola. You can check out a full list of features online at motorola.com/krave. It's my top pick right now.
Yeah, sorry the article was a little US-centric, strictly because it focused on the fact that America is a broke joke, incidentally what's the Canadian housing market looking like? I may be looking to buy...
Alexander Hamilton is the first United States Secretary of the Treasury and is featured on the 10 dollar bill of which you've obviously never given more than a cursory glance....
...or you're straight broke.
...especially with the rat race it's turned into because of submission sites like N4G, it's just something that's not going to go away as long as people know they can get publicity from it.
I think the main problem is the priority for what's considered "big news"--especially on this site--the factual stories are almost always tucked behind the conjecture and rumors. Obviously people find them much more interesting because it provides infinite possibilities where fact is...
August is generally a slow month for business, it's crazy not to expect big numbers this holiday season.
Gary Oldman already mentioned that there will be a game to G4, another top 5 (alright, 6) list made obsolete again.
The original Final Fantasy VII.
The speculation levels that this has reached is maddening. The quote was lifted from an interview conducted nearly a week ago and has already been picked apart by the bullshit kings, who at least cite facts to back up their claims.
This isn't even old news, it's recycled conjecture. Making up bullshit is fine, just don't spray it in my direction.

Previous Challenge Entry (Level 1 – Beginner)
Topic: Willingness (02/21/05)
TITLE: The Past, The Present and The Future
By Jessica Schmit
I remember those words my father sternly spoke to me almost 8 years ago. "I wonder how different my life would've been if I had listened?" I thought to myself.
"Mom, I'm bored. Will you play dinosaurs with me? I'll be the big black one and you can be the hunter and I'll sneak up on you and attack you with my secret laser light in my eyes."
I giggled at the sight of my six year old "man" in his warrior dinosaur stance.
"I'll play after dinner. Go wash your hands and set the table."
"But mom.."
"No buts. Just do it and I don't want to hear any complaining."
My son walked solemnly upstairs to the dreaded bar of soap which sat waiting for him. I shuttered to myself as I recalled having the same pout when I was asked by my parents to do something dreadful, like having a bath or doing my homework.
Nothing scared me more than the thought of my little Charlie growing up to be like me. I wanted him to go to University, get married and have a decent job.
"Charlie, come and eat hon!" I yelled.
I could hear his footsteps thundering down the stairs. He sprinted to the table and jumped onto his seat. After catching his breath he looked at me seriously and asked,
"Mom, how come I don't have a grandma or grandpa?"
I dropped the ladle, soup splattering everywhere.
"Why do you ask?" I questioned while reaching for his Dinosaur bowl.
"Because Grant told me today at kindergarten that his grandma bought him a real race car."
"I don't think it was a 'real' car hon."
"It was. He said so. I want a real car mom"
"Well, you can't have everything you want." I said firmly, hoping to end this conversation.
"…Can I have a grandma or a grandpa?"
" Charlie… It's difficult to explain…"
"Did they leave us like dad?"
This was a conversation I really didn't want to travel down.
"Not exactly. Now eat up and stop asking so many questions!"
I looked at Charlie's dejected face. It was a mirrored image of my own when I was a child. My lip would come out and my eyes furrowed down so low that I could barely see.
"Stop making that face Charlie!"
"But you do it mom. I see you. After you get off the phone with dad you look like that."
"Yeah, well, I have a good reason to, you don't."
I knew it was a poor excuses, but I wasn't willing to resurrect the past. I glanced at the clock it flashed 7:00.
"Mom should be calling anytime now," I thought to myself.
She never misses a Sunday. Not once, in the past seven years. Surprising, since I've never answered any of her calls.
I can still remember the look on her when I told her I was pregnant. She was so disappointed. Tears streamed down her face. My dad was a different story. He yelled at me for a good two hours. All about me never being willing to cooperate in anything, from going to church to doing house chores. He told me I deserved what I got."
I looked at my little bundle of joy across the table from me. I truly did want the best for him. But the thought of facing my parents scared me more than death itself.
"Can we play dinosaurs now mom?" He proudly showed me his empty soup bowl.
"Sure." My heart started beating faster as I saw the clock ticking closer to 7:15. The exact time I left one Sunday, seven years ago.
I could hear Charlie in the front room, practicing his dinosaur growl to our family cat.
All of a sudden a shrill rang through the air. I felt my heart pulsate even heavier.
"Mom, the phone's ringing. Can I answer it?"
I paused. My heart aching with love for Charlie. It rang again. Every muscle in my body wanted to say no.
"Yes, Charlie… you can." My voice broke. I started sobbing as my body sank to the floor. Years of anger and hurt surfaced to my mind.
"Hello? Charlie Anderson speaking, "Yep, she's right here"
Charlie passed me the phone with a box of Kleenex and lovingly said, "You need to give this lady a Kleenex 'cause she's crying too."

Christine Baker
CHSWC Approves the Release of the 24-Hour Care Roundtable
Summary of December 7, 2006
OAKLAND -- The California Commission on Health and Safety and Workers' Compensation (CHSWC) has approved the release of the final report, "Summary of December 7, 2006 24-Hour Care Roundtable." CHSWC staff held a 24-Hour Care Roundtable meeting in Oakland to provide an update on the state of 24-hour care programs, to discuss the operational and technical aspects of a 24-hour care system, and to investigate the options for integration, such as integrating health care services or integrating health care services with both group health insurance and workers' compensation insurance.
The roundtable included 26 stakeholders in the workers' compensation system representing insured and self-insured employers, labor, insurance carriers, and medical providers. Discussion centered on identifying the current issues and challenges with respect to 24-hour care in California including: successful models in other states, as well as in California; challenges to implementing a 24-hour care system; recommendations and short-term and long-term objectives when moving toward a 24-hour care system, such as implementation in the public sector, voluntary participation with incentives in the private sector, and within carve-outs.
CHSWC, created by the workers' compensation reform legislation of 1993, is charged with overseeing the health and safety and workers' compensation systems in California and recommending administrative or legislative modifications to improve their operation. CHSWC was established to conduct a continuing examination of the workers' compensation system and of the state's activities to prevent industrial injuries and occupational diseases and to examine those programs in other states.
Information about CHSWC and the 24-Hour Care Roundtable Report may be accessed on the Internet at CHSWC's home page at http://www.dir.ca.gov/chswc/. Information may also be obtained by writing to CHSWC at 1515 Clay Street, Suite 901, Oakland, California, 94612, by calling (510) 622-3959, by faxing a request to (510) 622-3265, or by email at email@example.com.

Is Copper River Salmon worth its weight in gold?
We have purchased the infamous Copper River salmon several times and, granted, it is amazing. However, the most we ever paid for it was around $35 per pound. We have been waiting for it's appearance in the market and last weekend we thought we scored. At one of our local gourmet markets the chalkboard announcing daily specials heralded the first of the season. We high-fived and raced in to the seafood counter only to discover in horror that the price per pound was $69.99. Disheartened and deflated, we left without our precious red "gold". I'm quite certain I embarassed my husband by gaping into the seafood case with my jaw unhinged for several minutes before he drug me away. Does anyone else feel that is way ridiculous? It's not foie gras or Iberico, for crying out loud!

Well that sure didn't take long. Apple's Safari browser was hacked within just 5 seconds of visiting a specific website at this year's Pwn2Own hacker challenge. The victorious researchers were French security experts from the security firm VUPEN. The company was awarded $15,000 cash and can now lay claim to a new 13-inch MacBook Air.
Apple issued a few security updates to its Safari browser over the past few days and it remains unclear just what version of Apple's web browser was used during the competition. In any event, here's how it went down.
VUPEN co-founder Chaouki Bekrar lured a target MacBook to a specially rigged website and successfully launched a calculator on the compromised machine.
The hijacked machine was running a fully patched version of Mac OS X (64-bit).
In an interview with ZDNet, Bekrar said the vulnerability exists in WebKit, the open-source browser rendering engine. A three-man team of researchers spent about two weeks to find the vulnerability (using fuzzers) and writing a reliable exploit
Berkar explained that the performed exploit was challenging due to the lack of existing documentation regarding 64-bit OS X exploitation. "We had to do everything from scratch," said Berkar, "We had to create a debugging tool, create the shellcode and create the ROP (return oriented programming) technique."
But in the end, the exploit was executed as planned.
"The victim visits a web page, he gets owned. No other interaction is needed," said Bekrar.

Sweet Jesus
This is generally a not-taking-the-Lord's-name-in-vain zone (generally, mind you), but really, wall to wall law school from 8am to 12:50pm will do that. No joke, Contracts II, Property II, Torts and LARC II, with 10 minute breaks in between. I remember back in February when I made a post bitching about the scheduling accident that resulted in us having 4 classes (gasp) on the same day! Now, that happens several times a week, and for almost 5 hours in a row.
I need to change my last name to something that starts with a letter after L, and I need to do it now.

England Debut For Cobblers Keeper
Northampton keeper Dean Snedker has made his debut for England at U19 level.
The Cobblers teenager was invited to an FA training session for up and coming keepers recently and this led to him being handed his first call-up, with him in the squad to face Denmark.
18-year-old Snedker was brought on for the closing minutes of the 3-1 friendly win over Denmark on Tuesday night and could well now have forced himself into contention for future squads.

Thinking of it this way, let's imagine that this takes 2mins of your time to banner to a boss and hit it for the IS reward, so 2-3hrs to get an epic item with absolutely no skill involved at all, a child could do this.
Let's also assume that you're in an average progressive guild who can clear FT in one raid, and EE in another, and a third night gets you the ten man raid. A total of ~30 bits of loot will drop, so ignoring the time spent learning to beat the boss and wiping with no reward and assuming that all of the loot is useful (lol), let's say that nine hours of raiding for your average raider get's you 1.5 bits of loot, or roughly one bit of loot for six hours of effort, which also requires you to know your class, know the fight, practice for hours, have 19 other people turn up and do the same thing several nights a week, weeks on end.
This is why raiding offers the best rewards: it takes a commitment to turn up and organize, takes the most actual time, most effort, most skill.
But at least this option exists.

Book gives Manny Ramirez's side of the meltdown
Credit: Staff file
Still-unemployed free agent Manny Ramirez, feeling insulted and disrespected, snapped last season when he shoved 64-year-old Red Sox traveling secretary Jack McCormick during an altercation over tickets, according to a new book about the former Sox slugger.
"Jack disrespected Manny for many years and on many occasions," Ramirez's former agent Gene Mato says in the new, authorized biography "Becoming Manny."
Manny's bride, Juliana, added that her husband's request for tickets to a Sox-Astros game was for fewer seats than the 16 cited in media reports.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 18.104.22.168
Forum Moderators: DixonJones & mademetop
The best tool I have found is a freeware called jdiskreport which shows file sizes, but it also shows modified files by time period which is what I need. Unfortunately it has limitations. It does not export reports, nor can I drill down more than three folder levels to get Modified data.
Does anyone have any suggestions of what I can use to obtain data on how often files have been modified? I do not need to stay limited to a freeware -- I wish JDisk had a full pay version with more options because that would be perfect. I also haven't thought of web editors like Dreamweaver. Does this have this type of functionality?

People are often said to have done it all, by which we mean they have done a lot. David Perry, fresh from agreeing the $380 million sale of his game streaming company, Gaikai to Sony, certainly seems to be at the far end of the "a lot" spectrum, let's say.
At one point, he stops, distracted by my camera, and starts listing the various things he has learned to do with cameras, how he has tried his hand at journalism and recently written a book. These things are harder than they look, apparently. I am obscurely relieved that they look hard.
Perry never shrank from a challenge: at 17, he travelled from his native Northern Ireland to London to make games. After a move to the US, he founded Shiny Entertainment in 1993, scoring an instant hit with Earthworm Jim. Jim, an unlikely hero – an earthworm poking out of a muscular spacesuit – rapidly became a cult figure, with action figures, a tie-in comic book and a Saturday morning cartoon series.
After nine years, two more Earthworm Jim games and a number of others (including MDK, which shipped with every one of the first wave of candy-colored iMacs as Steve Jobs yanked Apple back into relevance), Shiny was bought by Atari for $47m. Perry stayed on as President, working with the Wachowski brothers on a series of games based on their Matrix films. The first, Enter the Matrix, sold well despite critical scepticism and fan irritation at having to play two barely-there characters from the movie. Perry described the second, where players got to control Neo and act out the famous scenes from the film, as an apology for the first. With those done he left in 2006, to consult and invest.
So that's designer, development lead, studio head, consultant and investor – oh, and a millionaire by 30. Seems like a full docket, I ventured.
"Well, when I started out in the industry I worked for a guy called Andy Lawrie. He was really good, which meant you couldn't bullsh*t him at all. You couldn't hide behind anything, because he understood it all.
So, when you work for somebody who is very technical, and understands and has creative solutions to your problems, it spurs you along and stops you making excuses for things. And I found that very useful.
So I've always been involved in more than one thing: at GDC (the Game Developers' Conference) I gave the production keynote one year. That doesn't mean I want to be a producer, it's just interesting to me. And then I moved onto the next thing: marketing, box design, finance, HR...
I actually once sat at the back of a payroll class in America - just me and 40 women! And I'm sitting back there, learning payroll, because I want to understand it. So that when I talk to people about payroll I know what they're talking about. And I set up and managed and ran a full payroll system myself.
So, with venture capital it was the same thing: I wanted to understand it completely, and the only way you can do that is by getting into it…"
Entering the Matrix
That might give the impression of a hypernerd – a tiny ball of nervous energy – but Perry is tall – a startling 6'7 or so. He is also startlingly well-preserved – at 45 his skin is tan in that way common to Los Angelenos who can control when they go out into the sun. And, somewhere in between the payroll classes and the photography lessons, he found time to get rich. And is about to become significantly more so.

Louisiana Environmental Education Commission (LEEC)
Under the Direction of Louisiana Department of Wildlife & Fisheries (LDWF)
Application Deadline: March 15, 2013
The LEEC is offering this grant in order to encourage sustainability initiatives in EPA Region 6 K-12 schools. Proposals to be considered are those within a specific school campus that will both actively engage students and result in a more sustainable facility. Project funds are provided via a grant from the EPA Office of Environmental Education Sub-Grants Program to LDWF.
Open to accredited K-12 schools in Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas
Maximum award: $5000
Example Project:
A teacher realizes that a large amount of waste is generated at school. The janitor is willing to maintain a recycling center if needed supplies were available. The teacher has students calculate the amount of garbage generated, evaluate container needs and desirable locations, develop a campaign strategy, locate vendors, complete a cost a comparative of supplies, etc. Once the program is implemented, the students compare pre-and post- waste outputs, calculate landfill savings, and generate reports. Students conclude the lesson series by organizing an Earth Day at school, emphasizing the value of recycling to fellow schoolmates and/or the community. Grant funds can be used for materials and equipment to implement the project.
- School administrators or fulltime classroom teachers in accredited public or non-public schools (K-12) in EPA Region 6 (Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas) are eligible to apply on behalf of their school.
- While the grant is awarded in care of the Project Leader, the actual contract must be made with the applicant's school and the school/school system receives the award payment. The grant must remain with the intended school. Example: If the teacher, as the project leader, transfers to another school, the grant remains with the school.
- Grants are to be implemented during the 2013-2014 academic school year.
- Grants will be awarded to individual schools in single amounts not to exceed $5,000.00. LDWF reserves the right to award 75% upon contract initiation and 25% after the project is complete.
- Grants must be based on sound scientific principles, have a school sustainability focus, and be designed to directly involve students in the learning process.
- If your organization received a 2012-2013 Sustainability Grant, it is not eligible to receive a 2013-2014 grant from the LEEC.
- An individual/organization may not submit more than one application.
- Grants must satisfy EPA's definition of Environmental Education (EE): EE increases public awareness and knowledge about environmental issues and provides the skills necessary to make informed environmental decisions and to take responsible actions. EE is based on objective and scientifically-sound information, and does not advocate a particular viewpoint or a course of action. EE teaches individuals how to weigh various sides of an issue through critical thinking and enhances their own problem solving and decision making skills on environmental topics.
- All monies must be spent on materials and/or equipment directly related to the purpose of the project. Travel, furniture, general construction projects, acquisition of real property, lobbying, non-educational research, technical training of environmental management professionals, indirect costs, registration fees, and/or food items will not be funded.
- If funded, applicants will be required to submit a mid-year report and a final report. All projects must be completed and the final report submitted by May 15, 2014. Instructions for submitting mid-year and final reports will be emailed prior to the deadlines. Examples of student work, expenditure spreadsheet, copies of invoices, and other related documentation must be provided with the final report.
- It is the responsibility of the grant recipient to adhere to school guidelines and related regulations.
- Recipients, by law, will receive Tax form 1099 declaring receipt of these funds, unless the application is made through an agency, university or foundation.
- Members of the Louisiana Environmental Education Commission (LEEC) may not apply.
- The LEEC/LDWF reserves the right to use the funded projects and photos provided for public information services that may include the LEEC/LDWF website, printed materials, and other means.
- Awarded applicants will be encouraged to attend the 2014 Louisiana Environmental Education Symposium to showcase their project and network with colleagues and state resource providers. Registration fees, travel reimbursement, and lodging assistance may be provided.
- Announcement of awardees will be made no later than April 15, 2013. Awardees will be notified by mail and/or e-mail.
- Failure to comply with these guidelines may disqualify the applicant from any future grants with the LEEC.
IMPORTANT!!! Applications are anonymous and competitive. Identifying information, such as the name(s) of the applicant(s), school, county/parish, or state, should appear only where indicated. Mention of identifying information in the body of the PROPOSAL will disqualify the application.

Black Women's Blueprint, an organization that "provides the personal and political spaces as well as the resources needed for women to engage in intersectional advocacy at the grassroots and societal level," has launched the "Truth Commission."
The grassroots initiative was developed to address the impact of sexual violence on black women. This is an important issue receiving minimal attention. The Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network (RAINN) found more than 18 percent of black women endure rape or attempted rape in their lifetime.
Black Women's Blueprint found 60 percent of Black girls experience sexual abuse before turning 18 and the Black Women's Health Imperative released a report estimating 40 percent of black women are sexually assaulted in their lifetimes.
Sexual assault and rape is an epidemic. Brooke Axtell, a Forbes contributor and women's rights advocate, writes: "The pervasive nature of this trauma could translate into an increased risk for Black women and girls to experience depression, PTSD and addiction, common symptoms experienced by many survivors of rape."
The trauma is compounded by a classist, sexist and racist society that renders our pain invisible.
Lori S. Robinson, author of I Will Survive: The African-American Guide to Healing from Sexual Assault and Abuse, writes:
"No race, ethnic group, or economic class is spared from sexual violence or the myths and misinformation that complicate the healing process for survivors. But in addition to our higher victimization rate, African Americans are less likely to get the help we need to heal."
Robinson also notes that less than 5 percent of black sexual assault victims seek counseling and more than half suffer in silence. "African-American women are raped at a higher rate than White women, and are less likely to report it. We have suffered in silence far too long," she writes.
The Truth Commission is intervening to "demand more public and private support for primary prevention strategies at the grassroots community level that will stop violence against women and girls before it occurs." Black Women's Blueprint intends to use the initiative to launch an education campaign that provides support and education to survivors, their families and urban communities. It is designed to orchestrate anti-rape strategies in black communities.
Women of color are encouraged to participate in the Truth Commission through four simple steps:
Take an Anonymous Survey about Rape
Black Women's Blueprint has developed an online survey to gauge general knowledge of rape. It takes less than five minutes to complete and requires no name or other identifiers.
Attend an Organizing Meeting
The organization hosts several events each month. A full calendar is available at Black Women's Blueprint's site.
Join the Live Free Campaign
Black Women's Blueprint is using social media to brand the commission and expand its reach. A Facebook space has been created for Black women to do what we have been historically denied – to name, lay claim and share what our bodies mean to us on our own terms, using our own language." It encourages ownership by asking participants to do three things:
Step One: Fill in the blank: My Body, My _____
Step Two: Post a picture of yourself that signifies your relationship with your body
Step Three: Include a personal manifesto to explain your declaration on body autonomy, body integrity, rights, healing and informing.
Chime in Clutchettes and gents. Will you support the Truth Commission?

Saturday I went to my 20-year college reunion. But before that I got up and did Day 6 of the Killer Body workout, because, dammit, I'm not going to do days 1-5 then skip out on the last day!
I had a surprisingly good time at the reunion, mostly because I got to see a friend who was there celebrating her 40-year reunion (my college does one giant reunion by 5-year increments, so we had everyone from class of 1945 to class of 2010 there, with a few break-outs for class-specific events, but mostly all together). None of my friends from my time in college were there, although I didn't have many to start with. I wasn't much of a joiner, and as a music major I spent 2-4 hours a day practicing my instrument on top of the usual academic load, so I really didn't have time for clubs or sports or other interest groups.
Regardless, I was delighted to find a new piece on the side of the art building. It sums up how I feel about life in general these days, and looking back, how I wish I could have seen all the other times in my life. Even the bad times were learning experience and all of them contributed to making me the person I am now. For example, if I hadn't married the first time to a very unsuitable partner, I wouldn't be as well-equipped to recognize and cherish the wonderful man I'm married to now. The little bumps and occasional spats might seem so much more momentous if I hadn't already learned just how bad an ill-fitting marriage can be, and how to identify one.
I spent yesterday with a migraine, as the usual penance for having a great time on Saturday. *sigh*
Today I got up and went for a run, the usual 3 miles/5K route. I'm not sure how this week is going to shake out exercise-wise, but I am sure that I feel the urge to get a little more cardio into the mix, as last week's program was focused largely on strength-building exercises.
And finally, I've now gone about 9 months without stepping on a scale, and my clothes still fit! I have worked out how to maintain without the scale! Oh frabjous day! This system is working – I must keep doing it!

"It is a matter of concern that a lot of minors are getting addicted to whitener, which is a stationery product easily available in the market," said Deputy Commissioner of Police (Anti-Narcotics Cell)
Off topic, I know, but do the companies that make those coffee vending machines realize referring to creamer as "whitener" doesn't really make you want to buy coffee out of that machine?
She says I need to use teeth whitener, and if I ask her if she wants to come to my house, she says You can't make me.
With this acquisition, Jyothi Labs, the maker of fabric whitener Ujala Supreme and insects repellent Maxo, will double its sales to 12 billion rupees $267 million and extend its presence into the premium categories.
Jyothy Laboratories, which owns brands such as Ujala fabric whitener and Ujala techno bright detergent, deliberately kept its purchase below the 15% threshold that would have required a mandatory open offer for a further 20% holding, Mr. Kamath said.
Indian fabric whitener and detergent maker Jyothy Laboratories Ltd is in advanced talks to buy Henkel AG's majority stake in its Indian arm for 9 billion rupees $202.8 million including debt, three sources said.
Jyothy Laboratories Ltd., the maker of Ujala fabric whitener, is in negotiations with Germany's Henkel AG to decide on the price to buy a 50.1% stake in Henkel India Ltd., according to two people with direct knowledge of the matter.
Jyothy Laboratories Ltd, the maker of fabric whitener Ujala, announced that it was bidding for the Henkel India stake, after having purchased a 14.9% holding in the unit from Tamilnadu Petroproducts Ltd on Wednesday for 607.3 million rupees.
Competitors in the space, including Jyothi Laboratories--maker of Ujala fabric whitener--and Emami Ltd are in the bidding.
Jyothy Labs, the maker of Ujala fabric whitener, was not expected to make an offer beyond 35 rupees 79 cents a share, the price Jyothy paid to acquire Tamilnadu Petroproducts Ltd.'s stake in Henkel India, sources had said earlier.

Malcolm Waller, Zimbabwe's part-time offspinner, has become the latest bowler to be reported by the ICC for suspect bowling action during Zimbabwe's 162 run defeat in the second test against Bangladesh at Khulna.
"The match officials' report, which was handed over to the Zimbabwe team manager Mufaro Chiturumani after the Test concluded on Friday, cited concerns about the legality of the 30-year-old's bowling action," an ICC release said.
Waller will now have to undergo testing within 21 days and can continue to bowl in international cricket until the results of the tests are announced. He is Zimbabwe's second bowler to be reported for illegal action inside three months. Earlier, Prosper Utseya was reported and after failing the tests he got banned from bowling in October.

Adam Levine has gone public with his new girlfriend after they were spotted smooching in Hawaii this week (begs28May12), two months after he split from Russian model Anne Vyalitsyna.
The Maroon 5 star was snapped affectionately cuddling and kissing Namibian catwalk star Behati Prinsloo in the tropical island, and was later photographed again holding hands with the stunning beauty at Los Angeles' Mustard Seed Cafe on Thursday (31May12).
He split from Vyalitsyna, his girlfriend of two years, in April (12), but it appears the singing Lothario has already moved on.
His new romance could prompt an awkward encounter the next time the two models meet on the catwalk - they both work for Victoria's Secret.


text: Hi Edwin, It is possible that both issues have a similar source but I do not see many reasons why there must be a common source. I was running my tests on a 32bit single core Windows XP SP2 system just by running werl.exe -boot start_sasl or werl.exe and did nothing fancy. My R12B-3 version is self compiled, R12B-4 is out of the erlang.org box. Client and server tests where done by starting two different instances of werl. Furthermore my tcp_test:test does not care whether results from gen_tcp:connect are correct or not. It just assumes {ok, Socket} and crashes the process if otherwise. Of course it was a surprise that under some circumstances the whole emulator crashes. By the way, the crash dump slogan is unspectecular: 'Slogan: Inconsistent, why isnt io reported?' UPDATE: I got some more observations which puzzle me even more: Just did some more of the same tests but this time by starting: erl.exe application:start(tcp_server). and erl.exe tcp_test:test(1000). There seems to be a difference between erl.exe and werl.exe. This time results are pretty different: Now it is much harder to crash the emulator. It takes significant more processes / tries until something bad happens: client only (tcp_test:test(5000)) crashes eventually in the same way but Window's cmd.exe now follows with a: The exception unknown software exception (0x40000015) occured in the application at location 0x008fff86 after the 'Crash dump was written to: erl_crash.dump / Inconsistent, why isnt io reported?' message and the crash dump file. The exception seems to always occure at the same location. A lot more error messages are printed now (as expected) until the crash. Besides the {{badmatch,{error,econnrefused}},[{tcp_test,test_con,0}]} I can now also watch lots of {{badmatch,{error,eaddrinuse}},[{tcp_test,test_con,0}]} and {{badmatch,{error,system_limit}},[{tcp_test,test_con,0}]} errors. The good message: During tests together with the server backend I was not able to crash the server. But I am not convinced that erl.exe solves everthing server side.
