The 2008 UEFA European Football Championship is on. Constantly on. So much so that it sent my TV watching habits into temporary exile, as my disdain from football is utter and well documented. And so, it is my great honor to publish a guest post written by my aptly named friend, Guy, who seem to know a lot about this sport:
While watching the Euro 2008 Group A game between Portugal and Turkey, I knew the German referee Herbert Fandel reminded me of someone but wasn't quite sure who. It took me almost a day until it hit me – Robbie Coltrane, who played criminal psychologist Eddie Fitzgerald in the BBC show "The Cracker". Fandel is best known for being the referee in the Euro 2008 qualifying game between Sweden And Denmark, where Denmark was down 3-0 at half time but managed to tie the game 3-3 in the final minutes. In the 89th minute Fandel awarded Sweden with a penalty kick after a fight broke up between two players. At this point a Danish fan broke into the field and attacked Fandel, who left the field without concluding the game. Coltrane has appeared lately as Hagrid in the Harry Potter film series.

Big Sky style from Montana, the land of silver and gold
JIM MANLEY, A TALL, white-haired rancher, leads a visitor past a homestead cabin alongside meandering Oxbow Lake. Up ahead are the remnants of a handmade rail system leading into an abandoned silver mine. The mine has two entrances. One has collapsed. A cougar has taken up in the other. "I've been coming to say hello to the cougar every time I get out here," Manley says, inspecting the cave.
You'd expect Manley to be a grizzled Westerner more suited to horse-breaking than high society, but the reality is a little more complex. While he is indeed the proprietor of this place, the 6,600-acre Ranch at Rock Creek, just outside Philipsburg, Mont., he's also a hedge fund manager from Connecticut. "I'd wanted to own a ranch all my life," Manley says. It took him 20 years to find the one he wanted, and another year to turn it into the luxury lodge and impeccable cowboy fantasia that it is today.
But then such is the draw of Big Sky Country. Bordered by Yellowstone National Park to the south and Glacier National Park to the northwest, Montana has never been accorded the jet-set cachet of an Aspen or Jackson Hole (nor, one suspects, would it want it). However, there is a gentle cultural shift afoot, with rustic-luxurious ranches like Manley's becoming popular weekend destinations that combine high-end amenities with the breathtaking landscape that has long drawn hikers, skiers and trout fisherman here to the land of silver and gold.
It's that same blend of ruggedness and effortless style that drew us here for Hemispheres' fall fashion spread. We spent three days at the working ranch soaking in the Montana air, tooling around on muddy roads with the ranch hands and shooting the latest Western-inflected styles from big and small designers alike, accompanied by the odd pair of gloves or chaps on loan from the resident cowboys.
At dusk one day, after we had wrapped the shoot, Kerry, the ranch manager, brought us out into the field where the horses roam at night. He stepped out of the Jeep and whistled. The horses all perked up and wandered over to greet us, sniffing and gently brushing their heads against us like so many friendly dogs. It called to mind something Manley had said earlier, when he told us he hoped to retire here some day. "It's like paradise on horseback," he said. www.theranchatrockcreek.com

For more than two years now, Israeli blogger Skinless (Miki Resilevski, 24) has been eloquently describing her chaotic existence as a survivor of incest. Like many other victims of abuse, she chose to protect her abuser, her own father, and not reveal his real name or picture.
Until today.
A couple of hours ago Skinless posted this photo along with this post, translated from Hebrew for your benefit:
In Front of You a Photo of a Rapist and a Murderer
[singlepic id=67 w=450 h=355 float=center]
Rapist, abuser, dictator, sadist, terrorist, murderer
In that place, on that green sofa, at the very spot where this photo was taken, he raped me for the first time. There it all began. There he started abusing me, there he vandalized my flesh and my soul. There he tormented me without end, and still does. The face is of a monster, a pathetic creature that made my life miserable, a worm eating me up and does not stop.
And today – today I say – Enough. No more. Here is his face. A face I kept hidden in a sickening loyalty. I will not be silent any more, will not sew my lips that seek to shout to the skies. I will not hide – for not I am the sinner. For they shall see, and shall fear, for we shall scream our cry, the stifled wailing and the trembling body, the choked up throat and the throbbing pulse. We, the victims of sexual, physical, verbal and mental abuse. The victims of fear, horror and terror. No more.
And if you happen to see his despicable face on the street – spit on it.
I am free. Almost.

GOP shifts its focus to Hillary… Beyond the politics of yesterday's Be nghazi hearing… Deep in the heart of Texas: Obama heads to Austin, TX to talk jobs, manufacturing, and technology at 2:05 pm ET and 5:40 pm ET… Census: African Americans had a higher turnout rate in 2012 than whites did… The editing of the Senate immigration bill begins… GOP brand -- is it struggling or improving? Some mixed numbers… A Democrat enters SD SEN race, but it's not a top-tier candidate... And Jessica Taylor looks at the seats Dems have to defend to keep their Senate majority.
Jonathan Ernst / Reuters
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton makes remarks after being honored with a Distinguished Leadership Award from the Atlantic Council in Washington, May 1, 2013.
*** GOP shifts its focus to Hillary: Wednesday's congressional hearing probing last year's attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi revealed this political development: Key parts of the conservative movement are turning their attention from President Obama to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. "I find it stunning that four and a half months after the attack, Secretary Clinton still has the gall to say it wasn't us," Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) said at yesterday's House Oversight and Government Reform Committee hearing. Added Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH): "Tell me, who is Cheryl Mills?... She is the fixture for the secretary of state; she is as close as you can get to Secretary Clinton." In addition, for the first time since Feb. 2008 (when Obama overtook Hillary in the Democratic presidential contest), Republican groups inundated our inboxes with emails about Clinton. The GOP oppo organization American Rising: "Benghazi Hearing Raises Serious Questions About Clinton." The Karl Rove-backed American Crossroads: "Hicks told Clinton at 2am it was terrorism." Here was Citizens United's David Bossie (who was behind the "Hillary: The Movie"): "The Need For A Select Committee Is More Evident Than Ever." And Drudge's front page for most of yesterday looked like a time warp to when the Clintons were the constant focus of conservative attacks.
EDITOR'S NOTE: NBC's Lisa Myers reports that Hicks never told Clinton at 2 am that the attack was terrorism. He said in his testimony that he had previously told that to the State Department and said it was not necessary to say it again. "I had already reported that the attack was -- had commenced and that twitter feeds were asserting that Ansar Sharia was responsible for the attack," former Benghazi Deputy Chief of Mission Greg Hicks told Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa Wednesday during testimony. Issa asked, "You didn't have that discussion with her only because it was assumed that, since you had already reported that the cause of the attack was essentially Islamic extremists, some of them linked to al- Qaida?" Hicks responded, "Yes." Myers followed up with Hicks' attorney who affirmed that Hicks did not tell Clinton personally that this was a terrorist attack.
*** But underneath the politics: Before wiping away yesterday as entirely a political exercise (and a LARGE part of yesterday had the feel of politics), don't overlook what was discovered and what is clearly a very credible whistleblower in Greg Hicks. Ironically, what yesterday's House hearing "revealed" was something that was already uncovered by the Pickering-Mullen report on Benghazi: systemic mistakes at the State Department when it comes to the issue of diplomatic security. The "coverup" charges appear to be an overreach, but what's not an overreach is the focus on the failures at State and the apparent attempt by some at the White House to help State buy time before having the fingers pointed at its failings in the initial hours and days of the attack. And this happened on Clinton's watch, pure and simple. If she is going to be running for president, her time atState is going to be an issue -- the good, the bad and the ugly. And it doesn't take a political media genius to use Hicks' description of his phone call back to State and resurrect Clinton's famous 3:00 am phone call TV spot. Benghazi probably won't haunt Clinton in 2016 in a big way, but it's not going away, either.
*** The "vast right-wing conspiracy" is back: Yet as Democrats prepare for Hillary'spossible political comeback, so are Republicans and conservatives. Consequently, the GOP's shift in focus shouldn't be surprising, especially with 2016 on the horizon. But what's striking is how sudden the transition seemed yesterday. Also striking is that it comes at a time when Clinton is enjoying her highest polling numbers, even among Republicans. In the April NBC/WSJ poll, 56% of respondents had a favorable view of her, including 23% of Republicans. (Compare that with Obama's 8% among GOP respondents in the same poll.) Make no mistake: That Republican number is going to change for Clinton if she runs for president. So mark May 8, 2013 on your political calendars. That's the date when Republican Party returned to what was its favorite pastime for a good part of the last 16 years (from 1992 to 2008): going after the Clintons. Folks, the "vast right-wing conspiracy" is back…
*** Deep in the heart of Texas: Turning from yesterday's Benghazi hearing to today's top political event… President Obama heads to Austin, TX to kick off his new "Middle Class Jobs and Opportunity Tour." Per a White House official, the president today will announce launching a promise he made in his State of the Union to establish "three new Manufacturing Innovation Institutes, which are partnerships among business, universities and community colleges, and government to develop and building manufacturing technology." Obama also will call upon Congress "to take action on his proposal to create a one-time $1 billion investment to create a network of 15 manufacturing innovation institutes across the country." As the AP wrote earlier this week, "President Barack Obama is launching a series of quick jaunts around the country to remind Americans he's still got jobs and the economy on his mind." As our own recent NBC/WSJ poll showed, the public seems frustrated that Washington isn't focused on the economy anymore. The White House is attempting to respond to that. We'll see if they can sustain the effort -- something they've been unable to do before. Here's Obama's schedule today in Austin: He delivers remarks at Manor New Technology High School at 2:05 pm ET, and then he speaks at Applied Materials Inc. at 5:40 pm ET.
*** Census: African Americans had a higher turnout rate than whites did in '12: With Obama today in Texas -- where whites make up a minority of all residents -- perhaps it's only fitting to relay this U.S. Census data from 2012: "About two in three eligible blacks (66.2 percent) voted in the 2012 presidential election, higher than the 64.1 percent of non-Hispanic whites who did so… This marks the first time that blacks have voted at a higher rate than whites since the Census Bureau started publishing statistics on voting by the eligible citizen population in 1996." The New York Times has more on this data: "The overall turnout rate nationwide was 61.8 percent in 2012, a decline from 63.6 percent four years earlier. Researchers cautioned that their estimates might overstate how many people voted across all categories, because they are based on surveys in which people were asked whether they had voted — a 'socially desirable' activity. Some researchers cautioned against treating 2012 as a watershed moment for the black vote. For example, Michael P. McDonald, an associate professor at George Mason University — using the same data but with a slightly different calculation — determined that black voters first turned out at a higher rate than whites in 2008."
*** Let the editing of the immigration bill begin! The Senate Judiciary Committee today begins marking up the "Gang of Eight" bipartisan immigration bill. NBC's Carrie Dann: "With the Gang of Eight's immigration measure coming under the legislative magnifying glass this week, senators on a key committee are sharpening their red pencils in preparation to edit the 844-page bill. The 18 members of the Senate Judiciary Committee have proposed 300 amendments to the legislation, ranging from protections for gay couples, to border-security fixes, to efforts to dismantle the bill's central goal of creating a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants." More Dann: "While observers do not expect that the bill willundergo dramatic changes in the committee process -- with bipartisan proponents of reform on the panel likely to stick together to resist substantial changes to their core legislation -- the high-profile debate is sure to elevate the often-dull 'markup' process to must-see TV for anyone with a dog in the immigration fight."
*** GOP brand -- is it still struggling or improving? After the 2012 election, the Republican National Committee embarked on a soul-searching mission to see what was wrong and deliver recommendations for how to fix them. The result was a 97-page reportwith suggestions on issues ranging from women, Hispanics, blacks, Asians, gays, and young voters. Yet beyond that report – and besides about half of the Republican Party working to pass comprehensive immigration reform – how is that re-branding effort going? Well, there are mixed numbers. Yesterday, our NBC/Marist poll found the Republican Party's fav/unfav rating at 37%-53% among registered voters in Virginia – a state Republicans need to win in future presidential contests. Also yesterday, a Pew poll found respondents blaming Republicans by 20 points (42%-22%) for failing to better work with President Obama on key issues. On the other hand, the Pew poll showed the Republican Party either even or slightly ahead of Democrats on top issues like guns (GOP 42%, Dems 39%), the economy (GOP 42%, Dems 38%), and immigration (GOP 38%, Dems 38%).
*** Democrat enters SD SEN race, but it's not a top-tier candidate: So the first Democrat has announced he's running in South Dakota's open Senate contest: two-time Housecandidate Rick Weiland. The Hill: "According to the Argus Leader, Weiland already has the support of his former boss, former Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle (D). The two spoke prior to Weiland's announcement and, Daschle said, 'I encouraged him with great enthusiasm.'" Weiland told the paper that he had also spoken with U.S. Attorney Brendan Johnson (D) — son of retiring Sen. Tim Johnson (D) — before announcing his plans, and Johnson had indicated he was unlikely to enter the race. 'He's focused on his job. I wouldn't be here if I didn't feel that Brendan (wasn't) going to get into this race,' Weiland said." The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee says that this DOES NOT mean that former Rep. Stephanie Herseth Sandlin (D-SD) is passing on the race. But if Weiland is the only Dem candidate, it's hard to think that Democrats will have a puncher's chance in South Dakota in 2014.
*** Democrats on defense: And speaking of the 2014 Senate races, MSNBC's Jessica Taylor looks at the seats Democrats have to defend to hold on to the majority.

<3 man, I missed you ;_;
Enh, short-sleeved, length to the upper thigh, split neck that I can tie closed. I'm in no huge rush. I've managed to larp without armor for over ten years without it being a thing.
So what would you charge to make me an aluminum chainmail shirt?
in response to b(0) f8-e7,
w(1) : b6-c5 b(1) : (bishop is pinned to the king, so it can't take), move is relatively unimportant.
w(2) : d7 x e7 b(2
w(3): e7-g7 mate.
or e7-f6 in the event that black did g5-h4 and b moved king f7-g6
I'm looking at the chess game, and you said there was a way he could extend the game, I am reasonably sure that there is no way for him to avoid mate in 3 (like paradiso said). However, I could be mistaken. Could you please send me the move that you think might disrupt mate in 3?
Hey you. How's life?
I actually got a post up! yay, I'm really sorry about the computer crashing thing. kind of a load of fail.

Congressman Tom Marino Represents Pennsylvania's 10th District.
Elected to the US House of Representatives in 2010, Tom passionately fights for the residents of Pennsylvania
Tom, who is known and respected on both sides of the aisle as a fiscal conservative, has played an integral role in the fight to rein in out of control spending and eliminating burdensome regulations that are crippling our nation.
Tom was born and raised in Lycoming County, where his father, Joseph, worked two jobs as a firefighter and janitor. Tom learned at an early age, from his father that you don't spend what you don't have and hard work and personal responsibility is how you make through life.
Tom has led 3 bills that passed the House.
H.R. 2641, the RAPID Act
(worked with Democrat Rep. Bill Owens)
I introduced this bill to cut down on the time of the permitting process for infrastructure and energy projects—from 10-12 years to a maximum worst case scenario of 4 ½ years – to allow the private sector to work and move ahead with creating jobs and spurring the economy.
H.R. 4709, the Ensuring Patient Access and Effective Drug Enforcement Act of 2014
(worked with Democrat Rep. Judy Chu)
This bill would strengthen the partnerships between pharmacies and pharmaceutical distributors and the DEA to cut down on prescription drug abuse.
H.R. 366, the Animal Spectator Prohibition Act of 2013
(worked with Democrat Rep. James McGovern)
Although it is already a felony to stage animal fights, possess or train animals for fighting, or to move animals or cockfighting implements in interstate commerce for fighting purposes, our legislation would make attending an animal fight a federal offense and would impose additional penalties for bringing a child to an animal fight.
Tom has been a leader on many important bipartisan bills.
H.R. 2772, the Rape Survivor Child Custody Act
(Republican lead cosponsor on the Democrat Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz bill)
Today rape victims who have children as a result of the rape often still deal with continued trauma when the perpetrator claims parental rights over the child. Our bill would encourage states to change the legal standard to support these victims and effectively cut off any parental rights from the perpetrators.
H.R. 4814, the Chronic Kidney Disease Improvement in Research and Treatment Act of 2014
(worked with Democrat Rep. John Lewis)
This is a comprehensive bill that was developed with input from the entire kidney community- including researchers, doctors, and patient groups. The bill would improve the coordination of federal research, expand the opportunity for care coordination, and promote patient access to care and education. In addition, it provides incentives for home dialysis, and for practitioners to provide service in under-served rural and urban areas.
H.R. 5531, the Fair Transition Rural Hospitals Act
(Republican lead cosponsor on the Rep. Cartwright bill)
This bill would provide a two year moratorium for rural hospitals to comply with a recent CMS rule that reclassified certain rural hospitals to "urban" based on 2010 census data, and leads to a substantial Medicare subsidy cut. Our bill would create a temporary delay to allow these hospitals to better plan for the change and maintain quality care for the community in the meantime.
What makes the 10th Congressional District a unique place to live, work and play?
Tom Marino is excited to represent the 10th Congressional District of Pennsylvania and welcomes all new residents to the District. The District is the third-largest district in the state of Pennsylvania consisting of 15 counties.

Red Sox Radio Also Fails To Give A Full Picture
The Red Sox announcers are nowhere near as insufferable and inaccurate. Nevertheless,they also fail to give a full picture of what is happening on the field or act as though their audience is following along on TV.
On Thursday afternoon, after Ramon Santiago singled to start the sixth, Dave O'Brien said that was the 4th hit off Wakefield, then corrected himself and said it was the 5th. ... It was actually the 7th hit Wakefield had allowed. I assume that O'Brien keeps a scorecard as part of his job. If not, there is a big electronic scoreboard somewhere in the stadium that presumably has the proper hit totals. O'Brien never corrected his "correction".
Earlier in the game, O'Brien told us that Kevin Youkilis dove for Miguel Cabrera's grounder, but failed to inform us whether he dove to his left or right. Since he did not mention the foul line, I assumed Yook dove to his right. But I have absolutely no idea.
Likewise, on a foul ball to the third base side, O'Brien told us a player was "racing, racing" after it, but neglected to say whether it was the third baseman or the left fielder. Are we supposed to infer that it was the third baseman and O'Brien would have said "left field side" if it has been the outfielder?
(Also: Joe Castiglione, with Rocco Baldelli batting in the eighth, did not bother to say that Mike Lowell was running on the 2-1 pitch. I learned about that only because I was also following along on Gameday.)
O'Brien's errors were more than simple misspeak -- which will happen when talking about a live event for roughly three hours. During the few times I listen to baseball on the radio (with the Tigers feed on EI, we decided to sit outside last Thursday afternoon) and the play-by-play man says the pitch is "fouled down the line", I want to know (so I can visualize it in my mind) which side of the field it was.
Some listeners may not care that much or listen that carefully. But it's a reasonable expectation from someone whose job is describing an event that others cannot see.

I think it's funny (and sometimes a little annoying) when either of them, especially Joe, will say the pitch is a fastball when it's a curveball. Or it's a changeup when it's a curveball. What I'd like to know is are they just peering over the ledge from the booth as the pitch comes in? I wonder how hard it is to tell what a pitch is when you're looking from up top.
Sometimes it feels like the game doesn't matter until something important happens. When it's the 9th and Bot is trying to save it, or if a pitcher is trying to keep a no-hitter, Joe will be all over it, describing every minute detail short of exactly how tall the grass is at this very moment.
The way the games are called should not have changed as television began to carry all the games but I wonder if it has anyway.

They have TV monitors. They must because they sometimes talk about replays.

Thanks for this post. I know Sterling has fallen off the rails, but I am often irritated by Sox fans giving Sox announcers a free pass while criticizing all the other announcers.
I do like Castig and O'B, but I also wish they paid more attention to detail. As you correctly say, that's their job - or it should be.
It often seems like they think their job is talking about the weather, complaining about the length of road trips and how late they got in, and giving updates on college sports.

If I am lucky, I won't have to hear them again until July 17, when the Sox are in Toronto and I'm blacked out at work.

Some of it is nice, to just help pass the time between pitches or outs. Help the game flow through the middle of the innings. Sometimes it's excessive. Like yesterday. Castig and O'B, since it was New Hampshire Day, mentioned every baseball person they know of from New Hampshire. They'll do it again with Maine Day, and Rhode Island Day, and Connecticut Day, and Vermont Day. I'm sure Carlton Fisk will be mentioned again on VT day.
On another note, coincidentally on NH day yesterday I listened to almost the entire game while driving across the state of New Hampshire. First pitch was in Keene. Crossed into Maine in the middle of the 8th inning.

I tune in to the Sox radio feed on MLB when 'EI carries the non-Sox broadcast, so I have had plenty of exposure. I'll say it loud, and I'll say it proud--I can't stand Dave O'Brien. He's one of these guys who continually says "everybody is ...", this guy "always", this guy "never" etc etc when adding his colour. Not that I expect everything parsed like a lawyer, but he sounds to me like he's just gossiping. And everything is said with such conviction, no nuance to his baseball. Plus I don't need him telling me what "THE STORY" is (although he is one of many here). The story to me is who is winning. The beauty of baseball is that you have plenty of time to discuss the whys and hows. Even in between commercials. BTW, I love Eck. He just says what he feels. Seems to bring out a better DO, too.

"Some of it is nice, to just help pass the time between pitches or outs. "
Absolutely. I'm not suggesting they only call the game, like robots, and never chat.
We hear the state-day stuff every year, it gets a bit old, but it's not a big deal.
My point wasn't that the chatty stuff is bad, but that they don't pay enough attention (IMO) to the heart of why they're there - verbally recreating the game on the field. The chat should be extra, not instead.
I also dislike what Woti is referring to, the gossip and innuendo. I don't find O'Brien as bad as some for that, but he still does it way too much.

I'm almost alone in my dislike of Eck as announcer. I really can't stand him.

Eck has improved in the past two weeks or so. Not always yakking, has cut down on his paint and cheese comments and, in this Rangers series, seems to be developing a rapport with Don.
He's clearly the best of what we've had since Remy took a break.

Castiglione's college sports chatter -- or going on (and on) about what college a player went to and how that school's various teams are faring this season -- DRIVES ME RIGHT UP THE FUCKING WALL!
Like anyone truly gives a shit, and if someone does, he or she probably already follows the fucking team and is well informed. You are not hosting fucking Sportscenter, Joe, so pls stfu about college sports.
My hate is all out of proportion, I know, but man, it's like fingernails on a fucking chalkboard.

I know I'm alone in this, but I miss Troupiano. I think dumping him was a bad call and the unimpressive selection of attempted replacements they've brought in are shades of bad and worse.
I *like* listening to baseball on the radio. It allows me to listen to the game and not be visually distracted from the things I need to do. And I grew up listening to baseball on the radio, so I'm very comfortable with it, but....not so much anymore.

This tutorial explains how to use Xcode to create a dylib, and then use Realbasic to declare into it. Dylib is short for Dynamic Library, which is a file that contains code that can be linked against at runtime. This means that it isn't built directly into your application, like a static library is, but you can still load it up and call methods in it.
This is mainly useful for C/C++ or Objective-C programmers to create a library that may do something not possible from Realbasic.
Creating the dylib
- Launch Xcode
This tutorial assumes that you are using Xcode 3.1.4 from Apple.
- Choose "File->New Project", or type Command-Shift-N.
- Select BSD Dynamic Library, and click "Choose".
- Choose a project name. For this example, we'll call it "SampleDylib".
- Choose "File->New File..."
- Choose "C File", from within the "Mac OS" section
- Name the file. For this example, we'll call it "SampleDylib.c". The default settings are generally correct, but if you have multiple projects open with multiple targets, make sure the proper project and target is selected. When done, click "Finish".
- Open the SampleDylib.c source file.
- Add the code below:
#include <string.h> int addFunction( int a, int b ) { return a + b; } int stringLength( char *str ) { return strlen(str); }
- Save the file, then click the Build button, or press Command-B.
- If there were build errors, ensure that the code you entered looks exactly like it does above. Once the build is successful, continue to step 12.
- Find where the build was saved. If the builds folder location hasn't been changed, it will be located in a "build" folder, next to your project file. It will be named libSampleDylib.dylib. (This is bceuase we've not altered the default install name in the build target.)
Another way to locate the file is to locate the target by going to the project window, expanding libSampleDylib, then expanding Products. Select libSampleDylib.dylib, and control-click (or right-click, for those with two-button mice), and choose Reveal in Finder
You will need to access this location later.
Creating the Realbasic project
- Launch Real Studio. Create a new project, and choose "Desktop"
- Save the project to your Documents folder (so that it is next to the dylib file). For this example, we'll name it, "Test Dylib.rb"
- Double click on "App" in the project window.
- Expand the "Events" section, and select "Open"
- Add the code below:
CONST dylibLocation = "@executable_path/../Frameworks/libSampleDylib.dylib" Declare Function addFunction lib dylibLocation (a as integer, b as Integer) as Integer Declare Function stringLength lib dylibLocation (s as CString) as Integer msgBox "5 + 2 = " + str(AddFunction(5,2)) msgBox "The length of ""asdf"" is " + str(stringLength("asdf"))
- Run your application using the "Run Paused" feature of the IDE.
- Copy the dylib from the Xcode build into the application bundle. You can do this by right clicking on the debug app & selecting "Show Package Contents".
Navigate to Contents > Mac OS & copy the dynamic library created by Xcode into the Frameworks directory in the bundle. (If the edition of Real Studio you use supports this you could use a Build Automation Step to do this for you on every compile)
- Now launch the debug application by double clicking it in the Finder. It should then connect to the debugger in the IDE.
- Notice that it correctly adds, and also correctly computes the length of the string.
What is it doing?The loader (aka Dynamic Linker) doesn't search for a dynamic library very well. It relies on either having a full path to the library, or having it relative to the executable path. Since we want the dylib to be installed in the bundle, we use "@executable_path/../Frameworks/libSampleDylib.dylib" as the path for non-debug builds. This means that when you build your application you will need to copy the SampleDylib.dylib file into your Contents/Frameworks directory next to your actual executable file.
However, since the application is regenerated every time Realbasic builds it, the same path won't work for debug builds. (Suggestions about how to deal with this are included later)
What about the native types in Realbasic?
Using Realbasic, you can do almost anything through declares. Here are a few tips on how to handle different types in Realbasic:
- Passing a float into your dylib, or returning a float: In Realbasic, use "Single" as the data type. Singles are the exact same as a float -- a single precision floating point, to be specific.
- Passing a double into your dylib, or returning a double: Doubles are the exact same in both languages.
- Passing a c-string (null-terminated string) into your dylib: In Realbasic, declare the type for the parameter as CString.
- Passing a pascal-string (one byte length specifier) into your dylib: In Realbasic declare the type for the parameter as PString.
- Passing a void* (arbitrary data) into your dylib, or returning it: In Realbasic, declare the type for the parameter as Ptr, and pass in a MemoryBlock. Also declare the return type as Ptr, and it will automatically be converted to a MemoryBlock on return.
- Passing a pointer to a struct into your dylib: The same as above. Set up the memoryblock to contain the different fields, and pass it in as a Ptr.
- Limitation: It isn't currently possible to pass in a struct inline.
Known issues
- By default all symbols (functions & subroutines in C) are exported. This is usually what you want.
If you happen to preface one with the C keyword "static" then it won't be exported & so it will not be usable directly in Real Studio code like we've shown.
- If you name your file with a ".cpp" extension then Xcode assumes that it is a C++ file & names will get mangled by the Xcode compiler. This means they would not be directly usable in Real Studio.
You will need to preface them with an "extern "C"" declaration to make sure the names get exported unmangled.
CONST dylibLocation = "/Users/npalardy/Documents/libSampleDylib.dylib"Another way to deal with this is to put the dylib next to the application bundle where Real Studio builds the application (right next to the project file on OS X). Then you can use a relative path like:
CONST dylibLocation = "@executable_path/../../../libSampleDylib.dylib"And you could make the code in your Real Studio project look like:
#if debugBuild
CONST dylibLocation = "@executable_path/../../../libSampleDylib.dylib" // next to the app bundle
CONST dylibLocation = "@executable_path/../Frameworks/libSampleDylib.dylib" // inside the app frameworks in the bundle
Declare Function addFunction lib dylibLocation (a as integer, b as Integer) as Integer
Declare Function stringLength lib dylibLocation (s as CString) as Integer

Fast Drying Tips for Carpet Cleaners
West Chicago, IL - A common customer complaint about carpet cleaning and carpet cleaners is that while they are happy with their carpet's appearance after cleaning, they complain about how long it took for the carpets to dry.
This is true in both commercial and residential customers. Plain and simple, they want their carpets to dry as fast as possible.
To help carpet cleaning technicians get their customers' carpets to dry faster, Doug Berjer, product manager with CFR (www.cfrcorp.com), manufacturer of recycling carpet extractors, suggests the following "Fast Drying Tips" which might just save the day:
1. Before beginning, make sure the sprayer tip (wand), vacuum systems, hoses, and filters are clean and working properly
2. Vacuum the carpets first; this removes most dry soils so less moisture may be necessary to actually clean the carpets
3. Use just enough pre-spray; too much pre-spray requires more moisture to remove the chemical from the carpets
4. After pre-spraying the carpets, turn on any available ceiling fans
5. Open windows and turn on ventilating systems while carpet cleaning
6. Turn up the machine's p.s.i. as high as safely possible to provide maximum water lift/moisture removal
7. Perform two or more dry strokes for every wet stroke
8. Use as little vacuum hose as possible and make sure it does not coil, causing restrictions
9. Install air movers at strategic locations around the just cleaned area
10. For carpets to dry faster at future cleaning jobs, look into new wand technologies.
"This last item is pretty important," says Berjer. "Wands were never given much attention years ago, but now we know they play a major role in carpet cleaning, from improving carpet appearance to removing moisture for faster drying."
About CFR, a Tacony Company
CFR designs and manufactures a complete range of eco-friendly carpet cleaning systems and high performance specialty tools with an innovative, patented technology that is radically different from other carpet cleaning systems. Continuous Flow Recycling (CFR) technology provides superior moisture-controlled cleaning, faster drying times, and increased cleaning productivity that is unmatched compared to standard carpet extractors on the market today. Through a state-of-the-art recycling filtration system, coupled with moisture-controlled atomization wand technology to minimize carpet moisture, CFR is the Greenest carpet cleaning system in the industry today. Additionally, all CFR systems have earned the Seal of Approval from the Carpet and Rug Institute.

KCFR moves to FM Wednesday
Colorado Public Radio will move news and information channel KCFR to 90.1 FM, and classical music channel KVOD to 88.1 at 10 a.m. on July 9.
As reported six months ago, CPR purchased Christian-formatted 88.1 FM in Denver. KCFR, currently at 1340 AM, moves to KVOD's old home at 90.1 FM. The 1340 AM frequency will be
offered for sale.
The deal represents the fulfillment of CPR's seven-year push to buy another FM station in Denver.
While the two FM signals will cover metro Denver, 90.1 FM is the stronger signal. The 88.1 FM signal will not reach far north. Fort Collins classical-music lovers may be disappointed.
The station is pointing listeners to alternatives like Internet streaming and HD radio.

Two charged in murder of Wheeling man
Police: Victim wasn't intended target
Two teens have been charged in the fatal shooting of a 23-year-old man Wednesday night in Wheeling.
Jesus Sanchez, 18, of the 2000 block of West Nichols Road in Arlington Heights, and Collin Scheffler, 19, of the 0-100 block of Countryside Lane in Prospect Heights were both charged with first-degree murder, a Class X felony, and attempted first-degree murder, a Class 1 felony in the shooting death of Rafael Orozco.
During the investigation of the Wednesday night murder, interrogations of both Sanchez and Scheffler determined that they had planned to kill a rival gang member who was standing near Orozco when he was shot, according to Wheeling police.
The planned murder of this other person had been based on previous confrontations on Wednesday, police said.
Officers responded to a call of gunshots and a person struck at the Winetree Apartments on the 400 block of Pleasant Run Drive at about 9 p.m. Wednesday.
Upon arrival, they found Orozco with a gunshot wound to his chest. He was taken to Glenbrook Hospital in Glenview where he died from his injuries.
Wheeling police and the North Regional Major Crimes Task Force began interviewing witnesses whose information led investigators to conclude that both Sanchez and Scheffler were involved in the murder, police said.
According to police, both Sanchez and Scheffler admitted to their involvement in the planned murder of a rival gang member. Investigators characterized Sanchez as a self-admitted gang member and Scheffler as the driver of the vehicle involved in the crime, police said.
Despite the filing of charges, Wheeling police said the investigation is continuing in order to locate the murder weapon and any additional witnesses.
Anyone with information related to the shooting is asked to call the Wheeling Police Department at (847) 459-2632.
Sanchez and Scheffler are awaiting their initial bond hearing in Cook County circuit court, Wheeling Deputy Police Chief John Teevans said.

EASTON, Pa. (AP) — A prosecutor says two Pennsylvania brothers who were rushed to a hospital in September inadvertently took liquid LSD from a bottle of breath mint drops they found on the ground near their home.
Northampton County District Attorney John Morganelli said Wednesday that investigators determined the boys ingested the hallucinogenic drug.
Morganelli says the boys, ages 7 and 10, were foaming at the mouth and hallucinating after arriving at Bangor Elementary School on Sept. 24. They were hospitalized and released the following day.
Morganelli says investigators couldn't get fingerprints from the bottle to trace it.
He says the boys' mother and her live-in boyfriend tested negative for drugs and there were no issues inside the home.

I'm trying to create a preliminary login that requires anyone attempting to access the next page to put in a password. Initally I just had 'var pass = blah;' in my HTML, but I remembered that if someone just viewed the page source, they could see that password and access the page.
As far as I could tell, the simplest way for me to do this without anyone being able to see the password in the source is to have my password stored in an external php file as a variable.
I googled far and wide, but nothing quite like what I was trying to do (without using a my_sql or a whole lot of code) came up.
Is what I'm asking even possible? Surely it is, just maybe not exactly the way I was hoping to do it.
In order to more clearly explain how I want this to work:
User visits /upload.html and receives a text box that prompts for the password.
The password is entered, if incorrect, the text on the page says that it's incorrect, and has a refresh button to try again. If the password is correct, it moves on to the next php file with a passed variable that's hidden from the URL.
I have already gotten the prompt, refresh button, and the like programmed as a base, but I have no idea how to grab a value from an external php, save it as a variable in the primary php, then pass it on to another php without "?myvar=value" in the URL.
Here is what I have so far (unfortunately still with the password in the HTML and passing the vairable in the URL of the next php, which is what I don't want):
Any help or redirecting would be greatly appreciated.
Code: Select all

Waiting...

<form><input type=button value="Try Again" name="refreshbtn" onClick="window.location.reload()"></form>
var s1 = document.getElementsByName("refreshbtn").item(0);

I Have one more and final sketch style tutorial for you all today and it will be on "how to draw a rose bud", step by step. Rose buds are probably one of the most beautiful things about the rose. The young, soon to be fully bloomed flower has more of an innocence because it resembles new life and ultimate purity. Sketching or drawing a rose bud can be complicated if you have never drawn one before. This is because it can be tricky figuring out how to begin. I suggest making the actual shape of the bud, then from there you can draw out each petal as they lay close to one another. If you love drawing roses or flowers you will definitely enjoy this tutorial on drawing a rose bud. See you one more time with a building from Russia this time. Peace people!

A Picture Tour of Simi Winery in Healdsburg
A Tour of One of California's Oldest Wineries
A Tour of One of California's Oldest Wineries
Last weekend I was fortunate enough to head up to Healdsburg to check out Simi Winery. Founded in 1876, Simi is one of the state's oldest wineries and was one of only four to continue production during Prohibition. Although it was established by two Italian brothers, beginning in 1904, a female, Isabelle Simi, the daughter of one of the brothers, took control of the winery.
She is credited with starting the first tasting room in Sonoma County and continued working at the winery until she retired at age 99. Getting a tour of the winery is a fascinating lesson in local history. Here's an inside look at Simi.

Pilz is a new member of the demonstration and research platform SmartFactory KL. As such, the complete safe automation supplier will be actively involved in formulating unified standards for Industry 4.0. The first joint project is to implement a storage module for the smart factory demonstrator at the Hannover Messe 2015.
Ostfildern, Feb 6, 2015
Pilz is a new member of the research platform SmartFactory KL – Working together for standards with Industry 4.0
"If the requirements from the world of automation and the world of IT are taken into account, the result will be practical solutions that are acceptable to users, in the spirit of Industry 4.0. The smart factory is a suitable platform for promoting this important work", says Renate Pilz, Chair of the Board of Pilz GmbH & Co. KG, emphasising the significance of the smart factory.
The goal of the initiative is to test innovative factory systems, in which the vision of Industry 4.0 becomes a reality. As a full member, Pilz will actively participate towards all aspects of the goal of this initiative and pursue the findings from joint work on the development platform to use for its own offering.
"We are delighted to welcome Pilz as a member. In particular, as one of the partners in the demonstration plant at the Hannover Messe, Pilz contributes one of the primary components with its competence in the field of safe automation". That's the view of Prof. Dr.-Ing. Dr. h.c. Detlef Zühlke, Initiator and Chairman of the Executive Board of Smart FactoryKL.
Safety and modularisation are important issues
Firstly, with its experience from the field of machinery safety, Pilz will advocate standardisation and a common approach on the issue of safety with its two facets of safety (machinery safety) and security (IT security).
Secondly Pilz is involved with the issue of modularisation. Automation systems such as PSS 4000 from Pilz, which can distribute control functions, are the foundation.
"The construction of plants in accordance with the mechatronic approach enables complete modularisation in the form of machine elements. Functions can be standardised and re-used across a range of modules. The smart factory is an excellent place to test such automation concepts", says Renate Pilz.
Pilz module for demonstrator at the Hannover Messe 2015
At the Hannover Messe 2015, SmartFactory KL is exhibiting a modular, cross-manufacturer production plant, in which individual modules made by a range of manufacturers with various control architectures work together seamlessly (Hall 8, Stand D20).
Pilz expands this Smart Factory demonstrator plant with an intelligent, automated storage module.

Ball of Twine, Cawker City
804 Locust St, Cawker City, KS 67430 [map this location]
|Von Rothenberger
|Keith Stokes
|Keith Stokes
Mention Kansas and one of the first things anyone will talk about is the Ball of Twine. People may give a chuckle when the Ball of Twine is mentioned, but curiosity gets them best of them and they to go see it. The Ball of Twine is also part of the most highly debated topic in the arena of the world's largest things. Which town does have the world's largest ball of twine? Cawker City Kansas wins the debate if you're looking for the World's Largest Ball of Sisal Twine still growing! Frank Stoeber started winding twine December 24, 1953 on his farm and soon neighbor farmers started bringing their twine to him. In 1961 his symbol of thrift had grown to such grand proportions that it was moved to town under a shelter so all could see it! Frank has since passed away but the community still adds to the Ball of Twine at the annual Twine-athon held the third weekend of every August. When visitors stop at the Ball of Twine and are noticed by twine ball caretaker, Linda Clover, she zooms over in her car and asks them if they, too, want to add to the Ball of Twine! Smiles broaden as she opens her trunk and pulls out some twine, carefully records the amount, and then helps the delighted visitor become part of history! As of September 2009 the Ball of Twine weighed 19,198 pounds and is 7,974,454 feet long--1,510.31 miles worth! Darwin, Minnesota is known as the World's Largest Ball of Sisal Twine wound by one man. This finished product weighs in at 17,400 pounds and is approximately 40 feet in circumference. There is a larger plastic ball of twine but it weighs much less. This debate is for the heavyweights!
You'll see a great complement to the Ball of Twine if you stroll down the two-block business district. Artist Cher Heller Olson has drawn familiar paintings and added a ball of twine to each. Can you find it in the da Vincis, the Michelangelos, and the Monets?

. The SK260SRNLC-3 excavator features a two piece boom and is said to be both compact and stable, with power from a Hino diesel featuring DPF emissions technology. The short tail swing machine also offers improved fuel consumption and reduced operating noise over previous generation machines. Kobelco's innovative iNDr (integrated noise and dust reduction) system is said to reduce noise 5dB in the SK260SRNLC-3 to 95dB, amongst the lowest in its class. In addition, new hydraulic circuitry, a proprietary technology, reduces pressure loss, resulting in considerable improvement in fuel consumption. In comparison to a conventional SK235SRNLC-2, the new excavator has improved its digging productivity (m3/litre) by 6% in heavy digging (H) mode and by 9% in the newly set ECO mode, versus the previous model's fuel saving (S) mode. Kobelco has now started recruiting dealers from all over the world and is actively continuing its efforts to recruit new dealers.

NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks dropped sharply Thursday after the Supreme Court upheld the central provision of President Barack Obama's health care overhaul, a requirement that almost all Americans carry health insurance.
The Dow Jones industrial average, which was down about 100 points before the court ruled, fell further and was down 160 points at 11 a.m. EDT.
Health care stocks were down significantly, but bank stocks were the biggest losers in the broader market.
JPMorgan fell the most of the 30 stocks in the Dow average after the New York Times reported that its loss from a complex trade that went wrong could swell to $9 billion, much larger than the bank has acknowledged. The bank had said previously the loss was $2 billion but could get larger. JPMorgan lost $1.10, or 3 percent, to $35.69.
Stocks of major insurance companies fell sharply as analysts sorted through the ruling. UnitedHealth Group declined 3 percent, WellPoint almost 6 percent and AFLAC 1.5 percent.
Hospital chains rose. Hospital Corp. of America was up 7 percent. Quest Diagnostics, which runs laboratories, was up 2.5 percent.
Investors were also punishing bank stocks because British regulators escalated their inquiry into the manipulation of a key interest rate. Citigroup, Britain's HSBC, Switzerland's UBS and the Royal Bank of Scotland were also named by British regulators in the probe.
Barclays Bank of Britain has already been fined $453 million for manipulating the benchmark interest rate to its advantage between 2005 and 2009. The London interbank offered rate, or LIBOR, is used for setting rates on a wide variety of loans including consumer loans and mortgages.
The U.S.-listed shares of Barclays plunged 15 percent, giving up $1.84 to $10.49. UBS lost 50 cents to $11.02 and Citigroup fell 50 cents to $26.58.
Bank stocks fell the most of the 10 industries tracked by the Standard & Poor's 500 index. All 10 indexes were down.
There was little for investors to like in new reports on the U.S. economy.
The U.S. economy grew at an annual rate of just 1.9 percent in the January-March quarter, according to a new government estimate. Consumer spending, which accounts for a huge part of the economy, grew 2.5 percent, below the previous 2.7 percent estimate. The four-week average of applications for unemployment benefits didn't decline, a sign that layoffs aren't easing.
In other trading, the Standard & Poor's 500 index fell 17 points, or 1.3 percent, to 1,314 and the technology Nasdaq composite index was off 47 points at 2,828. That's a loss of 1.6 percent.
News Corp. fell 1 percent after the media conglomerate said it would separate its publishing and entertainment businesses into two public companies. The stock or Rupert Murdoch's sprawling media empire, which includes The Wall Street Journal, the Fox TV network, Fox News Channel and newspapers in Australia and Britain, gave up 35 cents to $21.96.
Family Dollar Stores fell $1.13 to $68 after the discount retailer of household goods and food reported earnings and revenue that were short of what Wall Street analysts were expecting.
Paychex dropped $1.21 to $30.72. The company, which provides payroll, human resources and benefits services to employers, reported revenue was shy of what analysts were expecting
Stocks drop after health care law is upheld
NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks dropped sharply Thursday after the Supreme Court upheld the central provision of President Barack Obama's health care overhaul, a requirement that almost all Americans carry health insurance.

I try to drink a good amount of water each day, some days are better than others. Infusing water with natural flavors elevates it to a refreshing and pretty beverage.
On days I am home, I make a large pitcher and drink it all day. On days I am out of the house, I bring a large jar or bottle with me. My standard add ins are lemon or whatever citrus I have on hand, or mint. In the summertime especially, mint is cooling.
In class last month, one thing all us students looked forward to was the water of the day. Each day a new flavor was infused into our water pitchers, usually from fresh herbs.
One of my favorites from class was fresh basil – it brings great flavor to a glass of water!
Today I discovered that basil and cherries pair well together – the pitcher of water we are enjoying today includes chiffonaded basil and frozen cherries. Being frozen, the cherries cool the water while the basil flavors it.
Today's motivation to drink water? A cherry snack at the end!

Parents Brave to Keep Up With Ever-Changing Rules of Tech
I have always been fairly strict about monitoring my daughter's screen time. Whether she's watching TV, playing video games or just texting with her friends on her iPhone, I try to make sure it all adds up to no more than a couple of hours a day, and then only after all her homework has been completed.
However, as my daughter works her way through eighth grade, strict screen time rules have become harder and harder to enforce. And that's not because of the increasing social pressure to keep up with Facebook or the constant Snapchat conversations; instead, it's more about the blurring definitions of "OK" screen time and "other" screen time.
Take social networking as an example. Until now, it was fairly easy to classify Facebook and other social networks as "other" screen time. Not because I disapprove of Facebook (sadly, I spend way too much time there myself) but because it was clearly an after-homework activity and part of that two-hour-a-day screen time quota. And then along came My Big Campus.
My Big Campus is one of several educational social networks –- Edmodo is another –- that are finding their way into classrooms all over the country. Heavily promoted by school boards and principals, these online educational networks list homework assignments, encourage after-hours participation in school projects and are increasingly used as problem-solving discussion groups by teachers and students alike. Is this "OK" or "other" screen time? Clearly OK –- and therein lies the parental dilemma.
Of course, it's not just social networks that are blurring the lines. How can you take away a computer if your child is using it to research a school project? And what's wrong with reading a book on a Kindle or iPad? Shouldn't we just be grateful that our kids are reading and leave the choice of format to them? As the latest iPad commercials remind us, you don't even need a piano for piano lessons anymore; just a touchscreen and a quick visit to the App Store.
Parents have always been outsmarted by the pace of change of technology. Remember when we regarded video gaming as the providence of basement-dwelling social misfits only to be blown away by the Wii and then the Kinect? Or when we patted ourselves on the back for installing parental controls on all our home computers only to discover that everyone had gone mobile?
Technology and screens are such a part of the social and educational fabric of our kids' lives that it's no longer possible to set arbitrary limits on usage. Instead, we have to understand what they are using the technology for and make constant judgment calls about what's appropriate. As many parents are discovering, it's becoming increasingly harder to write one set of rules for digital age kids.
Do you have rules you try to adhere to? What strategies work best for you? Share them with us in the comments.
This post is part of a series on the dilemmas of raising digital kids. We'd like to hear some of the parenting issues technology has raised for you. Please let us know in the comments, or on our Mashable Lifestyle Facebook page. You can also follow and tweet us @mashlifestyle.

Tags: East of Eden/MBC drama/Song Seung heon/Lee Da hae/Lee Yeon hee/Han Ji hye
Model-turned-actor Lee Eon (also spelled Lee Un, most famously of Coffee Prince) has died in a motorcycle accident.
The 27-year-old, born Park Sang-min, was on his way home following the wrap party for KBS's Strongest Chil Woo early on the morning of August 21. He was riding a motorcycle and ran into the guardrail of the overpass, and is said to have died almost immediately.
The news has shocked everyone; online, netizens are abuzz in disbelief. Just the night before, he had been onscreen in Chil Woo's finale episode, and the sudden news is, to say the least, startling.
Lee Eon got his start modeling, but shot to mainstream levels of fame when he took on the role of simple-hearted but lovable Min Yub in last year's Coffee Prince. He followed that with a stint as a cable-TV MC, then returned to dramas with Who Are You? and, most recently, Strongest Chil Woo.
RIP Lee Eon
