Right now I work with taking a specification of virtual operations, the guile rtl vm, and translate them to assembler code. The idea is to stack the resulting assembler instructions and compile to machine code in stead of using named gotos in C. Using this we will get less execution overhead but more code.
Some tests shows that simple loops like incrementing a counter and sum it as well as simple list operations, get a boost by 3-4 times by doing this. Of cause if expensive vm operations are used most of the time you will not gain much by such an approach.
The drawback of the method is that for example a simple addition may look like,
(define-vm-inst vm-add 79 ((U8_U8_U8_U8 dst x y))
(inst mov call-1 (local-ref x))
(inst mov call-2 (local-ref y))
(inst test call-1 2)
(inst jmp #:z slow:)
(inst test call-2 2)
(inst jmp #:z slow:)
(inst add call-2 call-1)
(inst jmp #:o slow:)
(inst sub call-2 2)
(inst mov (local-ref dst) call-2)
(inst jmp out:)
(inst mov call-2 (Q rsp))
(c-call scm_sum call-1 call-2)
(inst mov (local-ref dst) rax)
Disclaimer not debugged yet, but you get the picture 14 instructions!
The problem with verbose code like this is that it increases the compilation time of the code, and the size of the resulting programs. What I'd would like to have is the possibility to have macro instructions which get translated
to the specified code directly in hardware and just need to write
(inst mov call-1 (ref rbp 12))
(inst mov call-2 (ref rbp 13))
(inst macrocall 134)
(inst mov (ref rbp 14) rax)
e.g. just like a c call in amd64(Linux) but the macrocall will
be a hardware expansion on the cpu to the expansion found in slot 134. In all a good 3x decrease in instruction length and of much less complexity (no jumps).
A problem with this setup is that if you would want to use the machine registers effectively you may want to specify which registers you shall use in the macrocall like
(inst macrocall 134 call-1 call-2)
Another issue with this is that the same specific expansion code is located in the cpu for all processes and different processes might want to have their own expansion code in there. Not sure how to solve this, maybe each process have an id that describes which set of expansion it uses and when a new process start to execute on the core that key can be used to recognize if a different macro code should be loaded into the cpu when asked for. Of cause this can lead to expensive context switches. But I find it an interesting feature.
Have fun

Sa'dan Toraja people
Sa'dan Toraja district, Sulawesi, Indonesia
Ritual banner or headcloth
19th century
cotton, pigments
726.0 (h) x 25.0 (w) cm
Acquired through gift and purchase from the Collection of Robert J Holmgren and Anita E Spertus, New York 2000
National Gallery of Australia, Canberra
Now hung as floating banners at ceremonies, the long narrow magic cloths [sarita] previously served as sashes and headcloths. This unusual sarita acts as a sampler of the designs and motifs found on locally made Toraja ma'a textiles. Amid schematic trees and buffalo horn patterns, small human figures and village scenes are depicted. Fishponds and ploughing buffalo, houses and granaries, domestic fowl and pigs, horses and deer, and even a cameo of figures in a boat appear in stark linear drawings.

Holy cow, is it that time already? I really enjoyed last years thread sharing great food ideas. I cooked one of the sweet potatoes recipes and it was great. But I'm terrible at keeping up with recipes, now I don't remember which it was.

Hope everyone will hurry up and post new recipes. I have a house full of pheasant hunters this weekend that I need to feed. Always like something new!!
Pheasant Stir-Fry
2 T soy sauce
2 T cornstarch
3/4 tsp. ground ginger
1 T chicken bouillon granules
1 1/3 cups water
1 boneless pheasant breast (about 3/4 pound), cut into strips
2 T vegetable oil, divided
1 cup broccoli florets
1 cup each julienned carrots, celery and onion
1 cup frozen snow peas
Hot cooked white or wild rice
1. In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, cornstartch, ginger and bouillon. Add water; set aside. In a skillet or wok over medium high heat, stir-fry pheasant in 1 T of oil until no longer pink, about 3-4 minutes. Remove and keep warm.
2. Add remaining oil to pan. Stir-fry broccoli and carrots for 2 minutes. Add celery, onion and peas; stir-fry until the vegetables are crisp-tender, about 4-5 minutes.
3. Stir soy sauce mixture and add to the skillet; bring to a boil. Cook and stir for 2 minutes. Return meat to pan and heat through. Serve over rice. Yield: 4 servings.
Sausage Breakfast Casserole
Layer the following in 9 x 13 pan sprayed with pam:
1 package/box cheese salad croutons
1 pound Jimmy Dean sausage and a medium chopped onion, cooked and drained
1 large green pepper chopped
3-4 cups shredded cheese (I like Fiesta mix or Colby Jack mix)
6 eggs, lightly beaten with 1 ½ cups small curd cottage cheese & 1 can cream of soup (mushrm or celery or chickenyour choice)
Bake covered for 45 at 350°, then 45 min. uncovered or until eggs are set. This can be made the night before and refrigerated, or made and baked immediately.
Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuits (easy and good to make with grandkids)
400 degree oven preheated.
Makes 1 dozen biscuits. The key to a fluffy, light biscuit is to have all the ingredients really cold. Room temperature shortening does a poor job of creating the light, airy texture you want , and contributes little in the way of flavor. Cold butter, along with cheddar cheese and garlic powder, add the lightness and flavor you find in the original biscuit.
2 1/2 cups Bisquick baking mix
¼ t. baking soda
4 T. cold butter
1 heaping cup grated Cheddar cheese (I use "fancy" shredded cheese--finely
shredded (and frozen) and not the really thick shredded--don't know if that matters or not)
3/4 cup whole milk (I used skim)
1/4 t. garlic powder
Combine Bisquick & baking soda with cold butter in a medium bowl using a pastry cutter or a
large fork. You don't want to mix too thoroughly. There should be small
chunks of butter in there that are about the size of peas. Add Cheddar cheese,
milk and garlic powder. Mix by hand until combined, but don't over mix.
Drop approximately 1/4 cup portions of the dough onto an ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake for 15 to 17 minutes or until the tops of the biscuits begin to turn light
When you take the biscuits out of the oven, brush tops with mixture of:
2 T melted butter
1/2 t garlic powder
1/4 t. dried parsley flakes
pinch salt (I omitted)
Brush tops until all used up.
Easy Corn Bread (Bob May NAHRA)
1 package Jiffy corn bread mix
1 package Jiffy yellow cake mix
Prepare mixes according to package directions, mixing it all together. Pour into greased 9x13 pan and bake according to directions until toothpick comes out clean.
Cheezy Potatoes (Kirk Rice NAHRA)
Bake at 325 degrees for about 1 hour. Dont over bake.
2 lb. package of frozen hashbrowns
Place hashbrowns in 9 x 13 pan that has been greased or sprayed with Pam
¼ cup butter or margarine drizzled over potatoes
Mix together:
1 can cream of soupI like chicken 1 cup sour cream
1 cup cheez whiz
You can add whatever you like to the cheese mixturechopped onions, peppers, garlic, etc.
Taco SoupSpicy and Good! (Fleet Farm magazine)
Brown & drain 1 pound ground beef
& 1 medium onion chopped
Add (do not drain):
1 can black beans
1 can pinto beans
1 can whole kernel corn
2 cans rotel tomatoes
2 cans tomato soup
1 pkg taco seasoning
1 pkg Ranch dressing mix
Heat thoroughly and serve with taco chips, sour cream and shredded cheese. For thicker soup, use refried beans in place of black beans.
1 pound medium hot sausage Cook sausage until thoroughly done. Remove sausage from pan and drain.
1 pound mushrooms, sliced
1 cup chopped onions Using some of the sausage fat, brown the mushrooms and onion. Return the sausage to the pan.
1/4 cup flour
1/2 cup heavy cream Mix flour and cream together until smooth.
2 1/2 cups chicken broth Add the cream mixture and broth to the meat mixture and cook until thickened.
2 cups cooked wild rice (2/3 cup raw rice will cook up to 2 cups cooked rice)
1 teaspoon salt
Pepper to taste
Pinch of oregano, thyme and marjoram
Pour sauce over cooked rice and seasonings. Pour into buttered casserole and top with 1/4 cup chopped macadamia nuts--can use sliced almonds, pecans, etc. You can put this in a squash and bake it too--makes a neat way to serve it.
Bake 30 minutes at 350 degrees (longer if you bake in a squash. this freezes well until you are ready to bake).
MAGNIFICENT MARINADE (Beth/Brad Harman)
Great marinade for steaks, chops, ribs, chicken, wild game
1 ½ cups salad oil
¾ cup soy sauce
½ cup wine vinegar
1/3 cup lemon juice
¼ cup worchestershire sauce
2 TBLs dry ground mustard
2 ½ t. salt
1 TBLs coarsely ground black pepper
2 t. chopped fresh parsley
2 cloves crushed garlic

As soon as it comes to a boil, pour it over the sweet potatoes, add pecans if desired.
Bake at 350 for about 45 min.
Artichoke Oyster Bisque
This is rich but oh so good.
5 slices bacon, diced
1/2 C butter
1 medium onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
3/4 C flour
1 can artichoke hearts, drained
1 jar medium oysters, save the liquid
4 C seafood broth (or clam juice)

a food processor.
Return it to the pot and add the half and half.
Heat through and serve.
Queso Grill (Heise)
1 # Monterey Jack cheese
4 oz grated cheddar cheese
1 c chunky picante sauce (must be thick so doesnt water down dip)dont add too much as it will water out the dip
1 can refried beans (I used one can of black beans)
1-2 pounds cooked shrimp, peeled
I layer this in a crockpot and it works just fine.
Original recipe: Cut Monterey Jack cheese into ¼-inch slices and arrange in a 10-inch iron skillet, overlapping slices to cover pan bottom. Top with cheddar cheese. Spoon picante sauce over cheese. Spread refried beans/ black beans into an 8 inch circle over the sauce. Place shrimp over beans.
Place pan on a prepared grill, 4 to 6 inches above coals or can do on top of stove. Close lid and let heat and smoke for 10 minutes.
Serve with taco chips, Scoops taco chips or Fritos Scoops.
Not really a TGiving recipe, but a good appetizer.

Pregis buys protective film maker Surface GuardComments Email Print
DEERFEILD, ILL. — Protective packaging manufacturer Pregis Corp. has purchased Surface Guard Inc., expanding its portfolio to include new protective film, cohesive material and single-face corrugated manufacturing capabilities.
Surface Guard will operate as a division of Deerfield, Ill.,-based Pregis.
Pregis will continue to operate Surface Guard's two facilities in its hometown of Aurora, Ill. Surface Guard's founders James Heimann, Patrick Dillon and Steve Malinowski, as well as the company's 79 employees, will join Pregis's 2,000-member workforce.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Pregis has been looking at Surface Guard for awhile.
"It's a good add-on, bolt-on business for us; it's run very, very well," said Kevin Baudhuin, president and CEO of Pregis, by phone.
"It's not a business that needs to be fixed or needs a heavy investment in capital, it's a business we can grow together," he said.
Surface Guard makes protective polyethylene and polypropylene films and packaging from cohesive paper, linerboard, corrugated, wave flute and poly paper materials.
The company specializes in innovative, R&D-heavy products, like water-based adhesive coated film, and in developing custom packaging, Baudhin said.
Films make up about 60 percent of Surface Guard's revenue and corrugated packaging makes up about 10 percent, he said.
The companies' corrugated packaging offerings will also meet high-end retail and consumer packaging requirements.
"We want to take advantage of the product, the customer focus and the market innovations," Baudhin said.
This is Pregis's third acquisition in as many years.
Most recently, Pregis acquired foam extruder Inter-Pac Inc. According to Pregis, the deal, completed in August 2012, made them the largest producer of polyethylene foam sheet in the U.S.
Pregis also divested several non-core businesses last year — Kobusch-Sengewald, Hexacomb and Ambassador Packaging.
The company is always looking for new opportunities, but "we're very calculated. We're making sure it's the right people and the right technology; that it's the right add-on with existing business channels and end users," Baudhin said.
Pregis operates more than 27 facilities in 10 countries throughout North America and Europe.
The company has estimated annual North American film and sheet sales of $200 million, according to the most recent Plastics News survey of the industry.

Sage Z-Axis 4-piece
My name is Kent Petersen and i live in Sweden and wright english as i speak it,sorry.
I am intrestid in Sage Z-Axis 4-piece serie. I dont have the opportunity test those models i am intrestid in and want to hear if some one out there have tried those models i am looking on . The models i am looking into is 5100 - 6100 or 596 -696. I like long rods becaue i normaly fish with water to my navel or in my float tube . I tried 490 , 590 and 6110 and like them very much. The 6110 did feels like 590 when i test it , one or two classer under what the rod its markt . Its so light and sensitive in the action and still powerful . I do a lot of testing to all rods i can get a chanse to test so this is not something i reed me to .
When i build my rods i like to put ceramic guides on them , did se that standard snake guides on the rods are very small and little with epoxy on the guides. Has anybody put ceramic guides on a Z-axis . I normally use American Tackle Company Titan Guides and very pleased with the price and performance.
I am allso looking into the Spey Rods and they havent yet arrive to Sweden .- In Scandinavia Loomis older modells of GLX is very popular, are the any close to them in performance and action .
Every input and view is value, and i really needs your help out there.

Audience participation encouraged during Wolfie's Comic Wars at Moondog'sJanuary 16, 2014 4:06 PM
War is hell. I guess that makes Wolfie's Comic Wars funny as hell.
It's a strange concept, but one that Matt "Wolfie" Wohlfarth believes makes the competing comedians better while entertaining a live audience that gets to take part in the experiment.
"We take comedy and make it a competition," said Mr. Wohlfarth, who has been a comedian in these parts for 25 years. "The comedians compete in everything that a comedian needs to be able to do in order to be successful.
"Telling jokes, dealing with heckling, things shouted out by members of the audience. It's the audience that designs the show, so it's a really fast 90 minutes."
Mr. Wohlfarth, 50, of Blawnox, serves as your stand-up comedian host tonight at Moondog's. He'll be on stage, flanked on each side by three of Pittsburgh's most talented comedians.
"It's an interactive experience with the audience," Mr. Wohlfarth said. "Normally, you go to a comedy show and the audience comes in, sit downs, shuts up, turns off their cell phones and is told to not talk to the comedians. This show breaks all those rules.
"It's a refreshing look at comedy. It's almost like a comedy gym, where you learn, you work out everything and everything is in the extreme. The biggest fear for a comedian is being out there without any material. Here, the audience shouts out subjects and they have to come up with material on the fly."
Mr. Wohlfarth said he came up with the concept a couple of years ago and has been putting shows together off-and-on at improv venues around town, recruiting a variety of comedians to take part.
"I thought comedy was broken and needed a change," he said of the idea. "It's always three comedians, same routines, same shows. And the audience was never able to participate.
"This has that element and the audiences love it. They're part of the show and, of course, they try to make the comedians look like idiots. But the comedians will surprise you. They surprise themselves. Most of the comedians have said, 'Man, this was the hardest thing I've ever done in my life,' but they always volunteer to come back."
You might think comedy is competitive enough, with artists fighting for gigs at the city's various nightspots, but Mr. Wohlfarth said it's actually a bit of a brotherhood.
"We help each other and hurt each other at the same time," he laughed. "No, really, most comedians are supportive of each other. If you're good, there's room enough for everybody at the top.
"It's a really great vibe in Pittsburgh. This is one of the top comedy venues in the country right now. We just have a vibrant scene. There's an open mic somewhere probably every night of the week. We have probably 40 to 60 working comedians in Pittsburgh. It rivals New York."
In the past, Wolfie's Comic Wars has awarded the winners of the show the lion's share of whatever is collected at the door. But since there is no cover charge at Moondog's tonight, it's going to be all for the fun of it.
"They're willing to do it because they want to become better comedians," Mr. Wohlfarth said. "They all support each other. When one guy bombs, his teammates build him back up. And they allow each other to take their turns. There's a tag-team aspect to it."
And Mr. Wohlfarth is on hand to steer the evening to success.
"I direct the audience to heckle, shout out subjects, and then vote on who won each round," he said. "So you're participating from the beginning to the end. But comedy can be risky. Sometimes it doesn't work, but that's part of being a comedian, to take chances and be brave. And the good thing is that the audience, they're with you for the ride. They're cool with it, they enjoy it and they understand how hard it is."
It's been a few months since the comedians last squared off, but Mr. Wohlfarth hopes that this time the experiment can get legs and take off.
"I'd like to take it on the road," he said. "I'd like to talk to Comedy Central, but they haven't knocked down my door yet."
It's an adult show — I mean, Moondog's IS a bar — so come prepared. It all starts at 8 p.m. at 378 Freeport Road in beautiful downtown Blawnox.
And if you can't catch it tonight, there is another Comic War scheduled for Remo's on Babcock Boulevard in the North Hills on Jan. 31.

You can't tell the auto makers what kind of cars to make, regulate what kind of fuel economy they get, force them to pay ridiculous wages, etc. etc. and expect them to survive. The market dictates the product. We should have left them alone and let them succeed or fail on their own merit.
You can't force mortgage companies to disregard their lending standards to make life "fair" and expect them to remain solvent. How is that plan working out?
Then, when the chickens come home to roost (to borrow a phrase from my favorite preacher), the taxpayers have to shoulder the burden of government incompetence.
Beware anyone who sells an idea using the word "fair".

Chapter 7: Operations and Maintenance
Iowa Trails 2000 sets forth an ambitious statewide trails vision totaling well over 4,000 miles. The design guidelines, implementation strategies, and financing options described in this document help to ensure the quality of each trail on the day it opens. It is equally important to ensure the long-term quality of the statewide trail system. Once a trail is in place, it must be operated and maintained so as to provide a quality recreation or transportation amenity for years to come. The agency or group that constructed the trail, in most cases, has full responsibility for trail operation and maintenance.Operations
The operation of a trail consists of the day-to-day management of trail use. This includes law enforcement, marketing, special events, fee collection, map and brochure updates, and other functional considerations. The specific policies regarding the operation of a trail, such as permitted uses and user cost (if any), will most likely be decided in advance of trail construction. After construction, a large part of trail operation consists of the day-to-day execution of those policies.Maintenance
The maintenance of a trail includes the various activities involved in keeping the trail in a safe, usable condition. This includes numerous efforts ranging from mowing and brush removal to replacement of damaged signs or benches to reconstruction of the trail. Lifetime trail maintenance will place ongoing costs on the operating agency, and this should be considered during the trail planning and funding process.
In most cases, funding granted for trail construction cannot be applied to ongoing operations and maintenance. In order to maintain the quality of a newly constructed trail, local trail operators must plan for the continued maintenance of the facility.
Roles and Responsibilities
In most cases, the agency or group that constructed the trail will have primary responsibility for its operation and maintenance. Because, however, maintaining the statewide trail system is important to numerous state agencies, local governments, and non-profit organizations, these groups may cooperate together in maintaining the quality of the overall system. Potential partners in maintaining the state trail system and the roles they may play are listed below.
- Local Communities are the primary operating agents of the trails they implement. They remain close to the trail, both physically and functionally, and are best equipped to market, improve, maintain, and evaluate the trail. They also typically have full ownership of the trail and access to local police, fire, and public works departments, thereby allowing easy policing and maintenance of the trail. Trail owners should provide annual funding for the basic maintenance needs of their trails. The Iowa DOT requires a 20-year maintenance commitment from local trail sponsors seeking funding through DOT programs.
- Metropolitan Planning Organizations and Regional Planning Affiliations may offer guidance and expertise on trail operation and maintenance.
- County Conservation Boards act as primary operating agents of county trails. In this sense, they have the same basic responsibilities as local communities as described above.
- Iowa DOT will be involved in the operation and maintenance of trails constructed by the Iowa DOT along highway rights-of-way. For local facilities, the DOT offers technical assistance to local communities.
- Iowa Department of Natural Resources, maintains, operates, and improves more than 650 miles of trails within its parks, recreation areas, and forests. The DNR works with local communities to create, operate, and maintain trail links to parks. It is also responsible for improving and expanding the state snowmobile and newly evolving OHV systems. The DNR is also charged with the creation, operation, and maintenance of water recreation access areas.
- Local non-profit or private organizations may implement trails through partnerships with local communities. When this is the case, such groups may also take a role in the operation and maintenance of trails. In addition, these groups may be a source of volunteers for trail maintenance. A good example is a snowmobile club, which may maintain and operate trails within its "jurisdiction" with the assistance of municipal or county governments and the Iowa DNR.
These recommendations are meant to assist trail operators in the operation and maintenance of trail facilities. They should be viewed as guidelines. These recommendations come with no legal requirement, and should be altered based on conditions specific to a particular operating entity or trail.Establish an Operations and Maintenance Policy
Before a trail opens, the implementing group should set forth a policy document outlining specific rules pertaining to the trail and specific tasks that will be performed for its operation and maintenance. This policy will be the guide for the ongoing administration of the trail. The document should be based on public input gathered throughout the trail planning process, and should be unique to the particular community or trail to which it applies. Operations and maintenance policies may be included in subsequent system-wide or mode specific trail plans as described in Chapter 6: Implementing the Vision.
The Operations and Maintenance Policy may cover a wide range of issues. The following items should be major considerations in the policy.
- Permitted uses on the trail.
- Whether user fees will be collected, and in what manner (pay-as-you-go, trail passes, or others).
- Marketing of the trail. Some communities may desire to reap the economic benefits of trails by actively marketing their facilities. The costs associated with marketing can vary greatly, depending on the intended audience and the intensity of the campaign. For further guidance on capturing the economic potential of trails, refer to the Iowa Trails 2000 handbook "Implementing Trail-Based Economic Development Programs," included at the end of this document.
- Policing and security on the trail. This may include the determination of an emergency response plan; provision for trail patrol through existing law enforcement or with special community bike patrols; or a plan for other safety measures such as emergency phones or call boxes.
- Issues related to crossings of the trail. This may apply to agricultural accesses, new residential driveways, and connections to the trail. It should be determined whether new crossings will be allowed, whether a permitting process will exist, who maintains such crossings, and who assumes responsibility or liability associated with such crossings.
- Liability. In many cases, liability will be determined by existing laws. The operating agency should fully understand the liability associated with the trail and verify that insurance is adequate.
- Encroachment. Some local agencies may take ownership of a corridor that is being encroached upon by adjacent landowners. This is particularly true of railroad corridors bounded by agricultural uses. The implementing agency should set forth definitive policies relating to existing and future encroachments.
- Snow removal. In mild winters, some users will expect hard-surfaced trails to be plowed for use throughout the season. The operating agency should determine whether or not it will take on this maintenance.
- Seasonal maintenance. Some trails must be groomed in winter to provide for adequate use, namely snowmobile and cross-country ski trails. The operating agency should determine who will perform this maintenance. In many cases, volunteers or existing clubs can groom trails.
- Cooperative maintenance agreements. In some cases, trail owners may wish to explore the possibility of partnering with other government entities or private organizations in the operation and maintenance of a trail. Any operations or maintenance agreements should be articulated in the operations and maintenance policy.
- Use of volunteers. Volunteers can be a cost-saving benefit for trail operators. They do, however, need to be supervised, and liability prevents their use in certain situations.
- Evaluation of trail condition. Every trail should be evaluated on a regular schedule to identify the need for major and minor repairs. The operations and maintenance policy should delineate how often trail evaluations take place, preferably once per year.
- Short- and long-term maintenance program. See below.
Different types of trails will differ greatly in their maintenance requirements. All trails, however, will require a variety of maintenance activities at different points in their lives. Table 7-1 outlines some general guidelines for maintenance activities and the frequency at which they should be performed. This matrix is a guide only, and the trail operator will know best when certain maintenance activities should be performed.
- "Frequency" refers to how often each maintenance item should be performed.
- "Maintenance" refers to the specific maintenance activity to be performed.
- "Performed by" refers to who may undertake the particular maintenance activity.

|Hired contractor, trail operator, volunteers
As discussed above, different trail types have different maintenance requirements. The preceding matrix takes a general approach to all trails and their periodic maintenance requirements. The listing below describes some maintenance activities specific to certain trail types.
Asphalt trails can be expected to hold up well under most conditions. They are susceptible, however, to freeze/thaw conditions and particular care should be taken to fix holes and cracks. Left without repair, holes and cracks in asphalt pavement get larger, eventually causing safety hazards. During the yearly evaluation, preferably in spring, special attention should be given to marking and repairing breaks in the surface.
Granular trails are less susceptible to freeze/thaw conditions, but may be severely impacted by runoff. After floods, heavy rains, or the spring snow melt, the trail surface may become rutted. If left alone, subsequent floods or rains will follow the same ruts, making them larger and more hazardous. The surface of granular trails should be periodically raked back into place to maintain a smooth surface for trail users.
Natural surface trails will also be affected by runoff. Such a trail, whether used by hikers, equestrians, OHVs, or motorcycles, should be properly designed to minimize erosion, but periodic repair will need to be performed. If culverts of any kind are used, they may need to be "re-embedded," since repeated runoff can undermine them. In addition, any rutting of the trail, as described above, should be filled in with soil and compacted. For natural surface trails that are used by motorized vehicles, the wheels of the vehicles themselves can cause rutting. As necessary, the trail should be re-leveled with compacted soil to prevent the ruts from becoming too deep.
Snowmobile/ski trails, if they exist on the same treadway as other trail modes, will benefit from routine maintenance associated with those summer trails. If they exist in independent corridors, which is often the case for snowmobile trails, they will be primarily affected by debris, including trees, brush, or rocks, that find their way into the corridor. Aside from the grooming of the snow itself, snow-based trails should be cleared of debris that may be a hazard after snowfall. Mowing and removal of brush in late fall can increase usability of the trail. An evaluation of trail corridors in the fall can prevent problems later on. Another major operation and maintenance consideration regarding snowmobile trails is the installation, removal, and repair of seasonal trail signage.
Concrete trails, though primarily used in urban environments for pedestrian-only (sidewalk) facilities, have periodic maintenance requirements, as well. Concrete is bound to crack in places that were not anticipated. In most cases, these small cracks will not be a serious problem if a quality sub-base was prepared. If cracks become severe, affected panels should be replaced. Concrete walks should be evaluated for cracks (or differences in settlement between panels) that might prove a hazard for children, the elderly, persons in wheelchairs, and other persons with less than average mobility.
Maintenance Costs
Maintenance costs will vary greatly depending on the type of trail, amount of volunteer labor use, available services, and geographic location of the trail. These costs, however, must be considered during the trail planning process, to ensure that trail owners can pay for the ongoing maintenance of the trails they develop.
Maintenance costs are rarely broken down into specific tasks such as those listed in Table 7-1. Most trails will be maintained by an existing agency, such as a local or state park, public works, or maintenance department. Estimated costs, therefore, are broken down by the type of maintenance performed. There are three basic types of maintenance:
- Routine maintenance includes all the general activities -- such as brush clearing, trash collection, and sweeping that may take place on a regular basis throughout a season.
- Minor Repairs refer to activities that can be expected every five years or so, such as amenity replacement, trail sealcoating, repainting, or restriping.
- Major Reconstruction refers to significant expenditures involving resurfacing or reconstruction. These activities are the most costly trail maintenance activities and should be planned for in advance.
Most of the routine maintenance of a trail facility will be performed by an existing agency or a volunteer group. Local trail owners should be well equipped to include trail maintenance into their parks or public works maintenance budgets and activities. Activities that should be considered as routine maintenance include:
- Yearly facility evaluation to determine the need for minor repairs
- Tree/brush clearing
- Mowing
- Map/signage updates
- Trash removal/litter clean-up
- Repair flood damage: silt clean-up, culvert clean-out, etc.
- Patching, minor regrading, or concrete panel replacement
- Snow grooming and/or plowing for winter-use trails
- Planting, pruning, and general beautification
- Installation and removal of seasonal signage
The yearly cost for routine maintenance depends on the maintenance capabilities already in place by the trail owner and the amount of volunteer labor used. In general, yearly routine maintenance costs can be estimated at $1,500 per mile. This figure assumes a single season trail, and may increase if a trail is groomed or plowed for winter use. This cost is estimated in year 2000 dollars, and will be affected by inflation. For a discussion on inflation, see Chapter 5: Cost Analysis.Minor Repairs
The need for minor repairs should be determined by a yearly facility evaluation (see routine maintenance above). Minor repairs may include the following activities:
- Replacement, repair, or repainting of trail support amenities, such as restrooms, signage, benches, trash receptacles, or hitching posts
- Replacement of a portion of the trail
- Restriping of trails
- Sealcoating of asphalt trails
The cost for replacement, repair, or repainting of trail amenities is based on the initial cost of those amenities. Trail operators should maintain records of the general costs of trail amenities as a means of estimating future repair and replacement costs. If custom elements, such as lighting, decorative railings, or benches, are used in trail design, the trail owner should consider ordering extra elements at the time of construction and storing them for future use, thereby defraying the cost of single-runs later.
Replacement of a portion of a trail may be necessary if severe flooding, continual erosion, or weak soils cause periodic difficulties with trail maintenance. For estimated costs for new trail construction, see Chapter 5: Cost Analysis.
Restriping of trails will cost the same (in year 2000 dollars) as the original striping. The trail owner should keep a record of the original bid to determine the price of restriping a trail using contracted labor. In many cases, it is cost effective to perform restriping along with other trail or highway maintenance. In such instances, the trail owner itself will be the best source of costing information.
Sealcoating of asphalt trails should take place approximately every five years. This will increase the longevity of the trail and provide a quality riding surface. When performed, sealcoating will cost approximately $3,500 per mile for a 6-foot pedestrian trail and approximately $5,800 per mile for a 10-foot multi-use trail. A periodic cost such as this should be included in the trail owners Capital Improvement Program, in order to ensure that adequate funding is available.Major Reconstruction
There are essentially two activities that are considered to be major reconstructions:
- Resurfacing of asphalt trails
- Complete replacement, regrading, and resurfacing of all trails
Asphalt trails will need to be resurfaced approximately every 10 years, depending on how well they have been maintained. A resurfacing typically involves placing an asphalt overlay on an existing asphalt surface in order to erase cracks and bumps. It is not a perfect solution, as weak underlying soils or tree root penetration will eventually affect this top layer, but it does offer a lower cost means of extending a trails life. The cost for resurfacing can be based on unit costs shown in Chapter 5: Cost Analysis. Asphalt surfacing costs approximately $1 per square foot for a 4-inch depth. Asphalt overlays should have a depth of 1 to 2 inches. Table 7-2 offers some sample costs for asphalt resurfacing.TABLE 7-2 ASPHALT RESURFACING COSTS
|Trail Type
|1-inch overlay
|2-inch overlay
|6-foot pedestrian trail
|$7,920 per mile
|$15,840 per mile
|10-foot multi-use trail
|$13,200 per mile
|$26,400 per mile
Complete replacement of a trail involves removing the existing trail, regrading the trail base, and resurfacing the facility. This kind of comprehensive maintenance will be necessary approximately every 20 years, regardless of trail type. Even natural surface trails may need to be fully regraded after 20 years of use. Trail costs for reconstructions are the same (in year 2000 dollars) as the cost of a new trail plus the cost of demolishing the existing trail. Cost estimates included in Chapter 5: Cost Analysis give a general overview of replacement costs and allow trail owners to make a preliminary estimate. As with any major trail project, however, a detailed cost estimate should be performed during the project planning stages. The best guide for estimating the replacement cost of a trail is to consider the original construction cost.
A major cost such as trail replacement should be considered well in advance. It may be more difficult to secure large state or federal grants for trail reconstruction. Therefore, a trail owner should consider the eventual cost of trail replacement and work to "save up" for that significant maintenance activity.
Much of the funding that is available for trail implementation cannot be used for ongoing trail maintenance. Table 7-3 lists a variety of sources for trail maintenance funding. It includes both existing programs and innovative ideas that have been employed elsewhere.TABLE 7-3 FUNDING FOR TRAIL MAINTENANCE

The $160-million-dollar structure contains 20,000 square feet of library and museum space, including an authentic replica of the Oval Office and the Cabinet Room. Exhibits in the Clinton Library museum are designed by Ralph Appelbaum and Associates of New York. Among its numerous notable achievements, Appelbaum and Associates created the powerful exhibits at the Holocaust Museum in Washington, D.C. The Clinton Library contains the largest collection of presidential papers and artifacts in U.S. history. The Clinton Presidential Library is situated in a 30-acre city park, which replaces an industrial site of old warehouses and vacant space. Also part of the Clinton Library and Park, the University of Arkansas Clinton School of Public Service is located within the park in the renovated 1899 Choctaw Station. An abandoned Rock Island Railroad Bridge near the Clinton Library has been converted to the Clinton Presidential Park Bridge allowing pedestrian traffic between downtown Little Rock and North Little Rock.

This thread is meant to be a simple comparison / reference, to make things easier for new comer to sort through dozens of IEM quickly in regard of finding the sound signature they are looking for. However, sound signature is not purely a translation of frequency response graph – and certainly not what this thread is about. To me (*at least in the context of this thread), sound signature is the perception of sonic energy distribution in the whole frequency range - the goal is to identify the "dominating" frequency range, the first patch of sound that will grab the lisner's attention. Beware, the graphs below are meant to make it easier for you to visualize the distribution of sound as interpreted by me, but not actually related to any measured FR curve. They are not absolute fact, but mere impression – and you should treat them as so. The truth is, each IEM has its very own sound signature, and categorized them into a few large groups will not give a detail enough picture to each individual IEM. In many case, sound signature of a particular IEM can fall between the gray area of two categories and depends on the listener's perception, be categorized in different ways - the reader should beware as this is not a right or wrong question, but the different in personal perception. Then again, this thread is only meant to be the starting point of your research so you shouldn't take it as it is. If you find the description of a particular IEM doesn't meet your own listening experience, do trust your ears over mine. As always, do as much research on your own as you can. Play as much attention to the negative comments as you will do to the positive one.
New to the Head-fi world and want to learn a little more about in ear monitor (IEM) / canalphone and portable music in general? Here are a few articles I wrote that might interest you. Note, they might not be the most correct things around, so take them as opinion, rather than fact:
Basic Guide to In-Ear-Canalphone
Which Way up? [Part 1 / Part 2]
To Amp, or Not to Amp?
Neutral vs. Natural: A Thought
Various IEM's tips pictorial comparison
Some of you might notice the description of sound seems to have changed between the current thread and some of my older multiple IEM shootout threads - It is done so in purpose. The old threads were written individually over a time of three years or so, during which my own experience, taste, reviewing gears as well as perception of sound have all changed. In order to regain some unity among these old threads, I decided to revisit every single IEM I ever reviewed and gives them all a quick listening, reference them against my old review, then update or rewrite the sound description as I see fit so they can be more informative. Other than that, the overall ranking remains the same as before, except individual IEM is also rated in its own sound signature categor
Pro and Con are basically some of the more obvious thing(s) to note about an individual IEM.
"Link" next to individual IEM title points to individual reviews posted in the past. Note: Some of the reviews are quite old (by IEM's market standard), so takes that in account that what was great before might not be as great now, as market continues to move forward.
Main reviewing gears including Cube C30, Sansa Fuze (alone or line-out feeding iBasso T3D / Meier Audio Corda StepDance) and Dell XPS420 + Foobar2K (ASIO) + 3MOVE. Lesser important gears (review wise) are HifiMan HM801 / HM602. See my profile for a full list of gears.

Exposure to above average levels of common air pollutants can lower IQ levels in un-born babies. Scientists as Columbia University have been studying 400 pregnant women in New York City and Krakow, Poland to determine the cognitive effects of pre-natal life. After a decade of tracking children they found a 4 point IQ deficit in children living in air polluted areas. The pollutants stunt brain development in the womb are polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, or PAHs. These compounds, created by burning fossil fuels, are prevalent in urban areas where traffic is thick.

Microbiology, study of microorganisms, or microbes, a diverse group of minute, simple life forms that include bacteria, archaea, algae, fungi, protozoa, and viruses. The field is concerned with the structure, function, and classification of such organisms and with ways of both exploiting and controlling their activities.
The 17th-century discovery of living forms existing invisible to the naked eye was a significant milestone in the history of science, for from the 13th century onward it had been postulated that "invisible" entities were responsible for decay and disease. The word microbe was coined in the last quarter of the 19th century ... (100 of 7,226 words)

Tavolino 1932
FontanaArte was founded by architect Gio Ponti in 1932. A leader in advanced Italian glass manufacturing and design, FontanaArte's works were first distinguished by artistic stained-glass windows, many of which remain a part of modern life (Duomo of Milan, Cathedral of Brasilia). Ponti realized the potential of this material and soon FontanaArte started to produce furniture, lamps and objects with glass as the main distinguishing feature.
Over the years, FontanaArte has collaborated with many architects and designers including Pietro Chiesa, Gae Aulenti, Pierluigi Cerri, Piero Castiglioni, Vico Magistretti, Vittorio Gregotti, Ettore Sottsass, Umberto Riva, Alvaro Siza and Renzo Piano, all of whom have contributed to the very high quality of design that is FontanaArte.
Gio Ponti, born 18 November 1891 in Milan, did military service during the First World War in the Pontonier Corps with the rank of captain, from 1916 to 1918, receiving the Bronze Medal and Miliitary Cross. He graduated with a degree in architecture in 1921 from the Milan Polytechnic, and set up a studio with the architects Mino Fiocchi and Emilio Lancia in Milan. Later, he went into partnership with Lancia (Studio Ponti e Lancia, PL: 1926-1933); then with the engineers Antonio Fornaroli and Eugenio Soncini (Studio Ponti-Fornaroli-Soncini, P.F.S.:1933-1945).
In 1921, Gio Ponti married Giulia Vimercati; they were to have four children and eight grandchildren. From 1923 came his public debut at the first Biennial Exhibition of the Decorative Arts in Monza, which was followed by his involvement in organization of the subsequent Triennial Exhibitions on Monza and Milan. From 1923 to 1930 he worked at the Manifattura Ceramica Richard Ginori, in Milan and Sesto Fiorentino, changing the company's whole output.
In 1928 Ponti founded the magazine Domus. From 1936 to 1961 he was professor on the permanent staff of the Faculty of Architecture at the Milan Polytechnic. In 1941 he resigned as editor of the magazine Domus and set up the magazine Stile, which he edited until 1947. In 1948 he returned to Domus, of which he remained the editor until the end of his life.
In 1952 he went into partnership with the architect Alberto Rosselli (Studio Ponti-Fornaroli-Rosselli, P.F.R.: 1952-1976); after the death of Rosselli he continued to work with his long time partner Antonio Fornaroli.
Gio Ponti died 16 September, 1979.View other products by Gio Ponti

Fresh herbs and vegetables add flavor and color to this rice recipe that's ready in 40 minutes – a perfect side dish.
Why it Works: Separate Rice is Nice
All rice begins its life surrounded by a thin coating called bran. When milled, this outer layer is removed to expose the raw grain. To improve appearance, most rice in the United States is polished using a series of wire brushes or spinning drums. Although this process results in a beautiful, stark white grain, it also causes a thin layer of rice starch to accumulate on the surface. When rice is cooked, this outer starch layer mixes with water and causes the grains of rice to stick together. If you'd rather your rice grains were separate and fluffy, you have several options. You can wash the rice to remove residual starch, but this takes time. The best technique is to first cook the rice in hot oil. Coating every grain, the oil forms a nonstick coating resulting in fluffy rice every time.

New York, September 24, 2007--The Committee to Protect Journalists will honor four courageous journalists from Russia, Pakistan, China, and Mexico with 2007 International Press Freedom Awards in November. Each has put their life or liberty on the line to report on stories of global significance.
Dmitry Muratov of Russia, Mazhar Abbas of Pakistan, Adela Navarro Bello of Mexico, and Gao Qinrong of China have reported on the news, despite death threats, harassment, and imprisonment.
Tom Brokaw, longtime anchor of NBC News, award-winning reporter, and best-selling author, will receive CPJ's Burton Benjamin Memorial Award for lifetime achievement. Brokaw has been a member of CPJ's board of directors since 1993.
"This is an exceptional group of courageous journalists from some of the most dangerous countries for reporters on earth," CPJ Board Chairman Paul Steiger said in announcing the awards. "We honor their commitment to reporting the news in the face of tremendous risk."
CPJ Executive Director Joel Simon said: "These journalists are being honored not only for the extraordinary stories they have reported but also because of their courageous fight for press freedom. Muratov, Abbas, and Navarro have fought for justice on behalf of their slain colleagues, while Gao has not been deterred by eight years of prison.
"Autocrats, drug traffickers, and corrupt officials have all been exposed by these enterprising journalists. They inspire us with their bravery. With these awards, CPJ hopes to spotlight countries with poor press freedom records and strengthen protections for journalists worldwide."
The awards will be presented at the Waldorf-Astoria in New York City on Tuesday, November 20. David Schlesinger, editor-in-chief of Reuters, will chair the black-tie dinner. NBC News Anchor and Managing Editor Brian Williams will host.

Cystic fibrosis genetic testing
This test is done to see if you carry a defective gene that may cause cystic fibrosis (CF) in your child. A defect in a gene is called a mutation. Genes are made from DNA, and mutations can be found by doing special tests that look at your DNA.
CF is a serious disease that causes thick mucus to form in the lungs and digestive system. CF may be treated, but the disease has no cure. Most people with this disease only live into their 30s or 40s.
You may have one of the genes that cause CF without having the disease. That's because in order to have the disease, you must have inherited CF genes from both of your parents. Having one of the genes that causes CF, but not having the disease, is called being a carrier.
The American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommends that all couples who are pregnant or thinking of getting pregnant consider carrier testing for CF. You may choose to have this test if:
You are considering becoming a parent
You or your partner is pregnant
You have a family history of CF and you want to know whether you are a carrier of the gene
Your chances of being a carrier of the CF gene are higher if you have a family history of the disease. More than 10 million Americans are carriers of this gene, and many don't know it. Your racial background has a lot to do with your risk for being a carrier. The risk is about:
1 in 29 for Caucasian (white) Americans
1 in 46 for Hispanic Americans
1 in 65 for African-Americans
1 in 90 for Asian Americans
Making the decision to find out whether your child may be born with Cf may be difficult. It's important to discuss this decision with a genetic counselor, your doctor, your partner, family members, and possibly a religious counselor.
You may have other tests to screen for diseases or conditions that could be passed on to your child. These types of tests may be included in your prenatal testing.
A result for a lab test may be affected by many things, including the method the laboratory uses to do the test. Even if your test results are different from the normal value, you may not have a problem. To learn what the results mean for you, talk with your health care provider.
Your doctor or a genetic counselor will discuss your test results with you and help you understand what they mean. If your test result is positive, it says you are a carrier of the CF gene. The result is more than 99 percent accurate.
A negative result is not as accurate. Even if your test result says you are not a carrier, you may still have a slight chance of being a carrier for one of the rare types of gene mutations that do not show up on the test.
If you are a carrier but your partner tested negative for CF, there is still a slight chance that your child will be born with the disease.
It's important to know whether you carry the gene, and you may want to let other family members know if the gene runs in your family. If you and your partner are both carriers, this is what your tests may mean:
Your child has a 50 percent chance of being a carrier of the CF gene but will not have the disease.
Your child has a 25 percent chance of having CF.
Your child has a 25 percent chance of not having CF or being a carrier.
The test requires cells from your body so that your DNA can be studied. This may be done with a blood sample, which is drawn by putting a needle into a vein in your arm. You may also have a swab rubbed inside your mouth to get cells from inside your cheek.
Taking a blood sample with a needle carries risks that include bleeding, infection, bruising, or feeling dizzy. When the needle pricks your arm, you may feel a slight stinging sensation or pain. Afterward, the site may be slightly sore. A cheek swab does not carry any significant risks.
No medications or conditions will affect your test results.
You don't need to prepare for this test.

Here are some things going on this morning in your world of tech:
Shares of HTC (2498TW) fell $5.50, or 2.2%, to $241, in Taipei trading after the company pre-announced Q1 revenue that missed its own and the Street's expectations, projecting $42.8 billion in New Taiwan dollars versus a consensus of $55 billion and its forecast of $50 billion to $60 billion.
In a note to clients this morning, R.W. Baird's William Power, who has a Neutral rating on the stock, writes that the miss was probably a result of the delay of the HTC "One" smartphone, a consequence of component shortages, he thinks.
Morgan Stanley's Joseph Moore this morning began coverage of Micron Technology (MU) with an Equal Weight rating, and an $11 "base case," advising investors to exercise caution given an 80% rise in the share price since October. He's hopeful both the DRAM and NAND flash market are "structurally improving" for the company, but he notes the stock is more expensive than that of SanDisk (SNDK).
Shares of Google (GOOG) are down $8.14, or 1.1%, at $774.91, as the Street looks forward to the prospect of the company repeating its "Google Fiber" experiment in Austin, Texas, as reported by AllThingsD's Arik Hesseldahl. The firm has sent media invitations teasing a "very important announcement."
Carlos Kirjner of Bernstein Research, who has an Outperform rating on Google shares, and a $1,000 price target, writes that he's skeptical Google will end up covering a large portion of the country, given that it might take $11 billion a year for five years just to cover 15% of homes in the country.
Shares of Best Buy (BBY) are down 22 cents, or 0.7%, at $25.23, despite more positive words from Gary Balter of Credit Suisse this morning, who has an Outperform rating and a $30 price target, on the shares, and who writes that the announcement last week of store-within-a-store concepts by Samsung Electronics (005930KS) are the first of "many agreements of its kind" and are "the first signal that vendors understand the value add that Best Buy can bring to the consumer purchasing process, something which to date has been undervalued by both suppliers and investors."
Shares of Apple (AAPL) today are up $2.32, or half a percent, at $425.52, as Raymond James's Tavis McCourt writes in a note to clients that his survey of 250 respondents via the Web in late March suggest the company's customers "upgrade more and are more loyal," with 53% of iPhone users, for example, saying they'd upgrade their phones this year, versus 43% for non-iPhone consumers.
Shares of Dell (DELL) are down 2 cents at $14.20 amidst the ongoing battle for control of the company. Over the weekend, The Wall Street Journal's David Benoit reported that Carl Icahn has not ruled out a proxy fight for Dell, according to Icahn's remarks in an interview. This follows a statement released late Friday, after market close, by Dell warning that it will not grant Icahn's request for a reimbursement of his expenses if he takes things to a proxy battle.
Analysts are mulling prospects for the semiconductor group in advance of chip company earnings reports in coming weeks.
R.W. Baird's Tristan Guerra writes this morning that there is a "lack of broad-based recovery so far, suggesting a slightly more muted pick-up in order trends post Chinese New Year than some companies expected," but that he is still "optimistic about a mild cyclical recovery this second half based on YoY declines in channel inventories overall and our expectation for stable to slightly rebounding end-demand trends."

The Dispatch From Paris Fashion Week
For Miu Miu, Miuccia Prada introduced the proletarian to the artist. Here, sportswear separates in denim walked alongside fur capes (fur capes for spring!) with painterly splotches and tie-dyes.
There was a tad of the Mad Men vibe in the straight skirt and belled tunic silhouettes. But here, it was done in colored fur and slick, coated fabrics.
