4 Servings
4 Tbls. (1/2 Stick) Butter
1 Cup Chopped frozen and thawed Spinach
3 Tbls All Purpose Flour
1 Cup Milk
4 Egg Yolks
1/2 Tsp. Salt
3/4 Cup Boursin Cheese
3 Tbls Chopped Chives
5 Egg Whites
Pinch of Salt
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Butter an 8 cup soufflé dish. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a heavy medium skillet over medium heat, add spinach and sauté until tender, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat. Melt 3 tablespoons of butter in a heavy sauce pan over medium heat, add the flour and stir 3 minutes. Gradually whisk in the milk. Boil until very thick, stirring constantly, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat. Whisk in yolks one at a time. Whisk in the salt. (Can be made 2 hours ahead. Dot with butter and let stand at room temperature. Before continuing, rewarm over low heat until just lukewarm, stirring constantly.) Add the Boursin cheese and stir over low heat until melted. Add the spinach and chives.
Using clean beaters, beat egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff but not dry. Stir 1/4 of whites into the yolk and cheese mixture to lighten. Gently fold in the remaining whites. Spoon into the prepared dish. Place in oven. Reduce the temperature to 375 and bake until puffed and golden on top and the soufflé still moves slightly when top is touched, about 30 - 35 minutes.
Serve immediately and cut with two forks.

Technical Resources
This dot density map shows the total acreage of other rural land converted to developed land from 1982 to 1992. Dots are aggregated by and placed randomly within 8-digit hydrologic units. Each red dot represents 1,000 acres of other rural land converted to developed land. Developed land is a combination of urban and built-up areas and rural transportation land. Other rural land or minor land includes: Farm and Ranch Headquarters, Other Farmland, Salt Flats, Bare Rock, Mines & Quarries, Beaches, Sand dunes, Mixed barren, Mud Flats, River Wash, Oil Wasteland, Other Barren, Snow & Ice Fields, Marshland and all Other Land. There were 356,000 acres of other rural land converted to developed land from 1982 to 1992. Areas with 95% or more Federal area are shaded gray.
Cautions for this Product:
Use this map only to identify broad spatial trends. Within an 8-digit hydrologic unit, dot counts represent total acreage, with an error of plus or minus one dot to account for remainders. Data are not available for Alaska or the Pacific Basin. Data for Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands are aggregated by 6-digit hydrologic unit.

NRI sample data are generally reliable at the 95% confidence interval for state and certain broad substate area analyses. Generally, analyses that aggregate data points by smaller geographic areas and/or more specific criteria result in fewer data points for each aggregation and therefore less reliable estimates. NRI maps reflect national patterns rather than site- specific information.
Aggregate Layer: Cross of State with 8 Digit Hydrologic Units and Federal Land
Other Layers Displayed: States, Rivers
Developed land:
A combination of land cover/use categories, Urban and built-up areas, and Rural Transportation Land.
Other rural land:
A Land cover/use category that includes farmsteads and other farm structures, field windbreaks, barren land, and marshland. [Revised 1992 NRI Summary Report, omitting CRP land.]
Rural transportation land:
A Land Cover/Use category which consists of all highways, roads, railroads and associated rights- of-way outside urban and built-up areas; including private roads to farmsteads or ranch headquarters, logging roads, and other private roads, except field lanes. [NRI-97]
Urban and built-up areas:
A Land Cover/Use category consisting of residential, industrial, commercial, and institutional land; construction sites; public administrative sites; railroad yards; cemeteries; airports; golf courses; sanitary landfills; sewage treatment plants; water control structures and spillways; other land used for such purposes; small parks (less than 10 acres) within urban and built-up areas; and highways, railroads, and other transportation facilities if they are surrounded by urban areas. Also included are tracts of less than 10 acres that do not meet the above definition but are completely surrounded by Urban and Built-up land. Two size categories are recognized in the NRI: (i) areas 0.25 to 10 acres, and (ii) areas greater than 10 acres. [NRI-97]

Quinn says Wisconsin should legalize gay marriage
Quinn plays nice with Walker at meeting
MILWAUKEE - Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn says Wisconsin should follow the lead of other Midwest states and legalize gay marriage.
Quinn said Saturday during a break at the National Governors Association meeting in Milwaukee that gay people should not have more rights in some states in the region and less in others.
Gay marriage became legal this week in Minnesota. Quinn says he would sign a bill to legalize gay marriage in Illinois, but it is tied up in the Legislature.
He called on Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker and the Republican-controlled Legislature to follow the lead of those states.
There is no movement to do that in Wisconsin, which banned gay marriage in a constitutional amendment passed in 2006.
Quinn also says he wants to work with his neighboring states and won't "engage in kicking the shins of other governors."
The Democratic Quinn's comments came Saturday during a break at the National Governors Association meeting. Quinn was asked how he feels about Republican Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker trying to lure Illinois businesses to Wisconsin.
Walker also repeatedly denigrates Illinois for raising taxes and having an unfunded pension system.
Quinn says he sees Illinois and Wisconsin as being part of a regional economy and it doesn't do any good to have governors trying to recruit businesses from one state to the other.
Walker is avoiding conflict at the meeting in Milwaukee, saying he is there to work with other governors and not compete.

Gene Collier: Penguins power play returns to formJanuary 23, 2014 6:51 AM
Given the generally unrelenting excellence of the Penguins this winter, certain statistical inevitabilities are just part of their handsome profile.
No one is exactly perplexed, therefore, that Dan Bylsma's team has the NHL's most destructive power play or its most secure penalty-kill, or perhaps even that the relevant figures are so overwhelming.
Gliding onto the Uptown pond Wednesday night for an appointment with the Montreal Canadiens, the Penguins were humming at 24.2 percent on the power play (39 for 161) and at 87.9 percent for the killers, against whom opponents had scored only 18 times on 149 power plays.
Two-Minute Warning: Richard Sherman; one-word weather
PG columnist Gene Collier opines about Richard Sherman's post-game rant, baseball's mega-million deals, and then introduces a new segment that gives you a weather report in one word. (Video by Melissa Tkach; 1/23/2014)
When you're running a hockey team for which those two percentages added together hit 100, let alone 112.1, things are almost unavoidably going very well.
But when the machine hit a pothole here the other night, someone decided to maybe check the gauges, just in case.
So it turns out the power play had been successful only once in the previous 15 advantages, only once in the past five games, and that on the occasion of a 5-1 loss against Florida here to start the week, Florida's worst-in-the-NHL-world power play mirrored the Penguins' 0 for 3 and made eyewitnesses unable to tell which wretched unit was which.
Then, with Montreal's P.K. Subban in the box halfway through the first period, the ultra-talented unit of Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, Kris Letang, James Neal and Chris Kunitz couldn't get themselves situated in the Canadiens' end, let alone manage an actual shot, and it wasn't until Matt Niskanen and Brandon Sutter came over the boards that the Penguins applied any pressure.
"Everyone's penalty-kill is so good nowadays," Niskanen said minutes after the Penguins attack returned to dominance in a 5-1 victory. "They're forcing you into what they want to do and forcing you into a corner where you don't have any help. They pressure you, so you have to have a little bit of plan to support the puck."
Within seconds, the power play was 1 for its past 16, and had begun to resemble a ... um, sort of a kind of an approximation of a... (gasp!) problem.
But this Penguins teams laughs off problems, right?
As the Pittsburghers like to say, "No prawm at all."
I noticed Bylsma wasn't laughing. "Our power play was a little bit indicative of our 5-on-5 play," sniffed the head coach after his club went to 24.8 percent on the power play. "Our focus then, not only for the power play but for 5-on-5 was 'do your job.' We were assimilating some guys back into our lineup and getting away from a few things that make us successful, so that was our focus tonight.
"The first [power-play] goal in particular was an indication of doing your job, doing the right thing. Niskanen getting a shot to the net front for Taylor's goal. We were much, much better for 5-on-5 and for the power play as well."
Niskanen blasted a shot that Taylor Pyatt deflected past Carey Price for the power-play goal that made it 2-0 Penguins, and Crosby redirected a Letang missile into the Canadiens net to make it 4-1 late in the second, so that 1-for-16 figure was suddenly 2 for 3 with the man-advantage.
"We always try to do that, when the goalie tries to challenge you, to put a guy behind him," Letang said of the brilliant Crosby goal. "It's a tough play to make for forward; it's a hard shot to clip."
Augmenting all that, of course, was a general return to offensive excellence that sucked every last drop of potential drama from what has been a squeaky close relationship between these teams on the ice. Six of previous eight meetings were one-goal affairs, the other two being decided by two goals. Four of the previous 11 games had required more than the standard 60 minutes to settle.
So 50 games into a season as promising as any in their history, the Penguins are back on the accelerator, making precise adjustments every bit as easily as it appears they do everything else.
"We talked about some things about the power play," Niskanen said, "and one focus tonight was that maybe we should have a little bit more of a shooter's mentality. When the power play's not going well, that's the best way to get out of it -- have a couple bodies around the net, find an open shot, crash the rebounds. If things are going well, you don't have to talk about the power play."
It appears we can go back to not talking about it.

And here we thought the only thing good to happen in New Jersey in 2009 was the Devils drafting Josef Josefson? Turns out a little rock and roll band from Westfield broke out of the 'burbs and launched a guitar-pronged attack on the increasingly stale New York City scene. THE STATIC JACKS' self-released Laces EP was a breath of fresh air, and eventual tours with the likes of the Futureheads, We Were Promised Jetpacks, and Young The Giant helped bring the band to a national audience.
Way before Boston Magazine dubbed CAMDEN "Boston's answer to the Strokes," we tabbed the rising garage rock band for our annual Class of 2012 feature. And they haven't let us down. Since that time the dapper guitar-mad quartet released their Getting Around 7-inch off their own Cash To Mouth Records (also home to fellow '12 Classers Dirty Virgins), became a frequent spin on WFNX's Boston Accents (both high-charged jams "Mustangs" and "(Talking On The) Telephone" were playlist mainstays), and hooked up with Converse for their Rubber Tracks series after a successful run of gigs at SXSW in March.
Follow him on Facebook. And please be nice. After all, he is "the world's first sentient robot DJ."
Hear him on WFNX.com starting 10.31.12, though maybe, just maybe, he'll make an appearance at one of the free Diso shows at the Lansdowne Pub. (We hear he has a thing for Casey Desmond's MicroKorg.)
Ok, we're done chirping. For the past month we've slowly rolled out news of WFNX's online resurrection, but tomorrow night the re-launch goes into party mode. Disorientation Night 1 crashes the Lansdowne Pub across from Fenway Park with a FREE show of blistering rock and roll goodness featuring New Jersey's THE STATIC JACKS, Boston's own CAMDEN, and DJ sounds by WFNX's latest addition, New Music Assistant LIZ PELLY (who was also just promoted to Assistant Music Editor of the Phoenix, hot damn).

By Teresa Rivas
In a note out early today, Robert W. Baird analyst William Power details the results of his smartphone survey of the Big Four's retail stores last week:
Verizon (VZ). The Motorola RAZR MAXX continues to be the most recommended Android device at Verizon, though we believe that the iPhone 4S is the carrier's best selling device. The MAXX's main advantage over the rest of Verizon's Android line continues to be LTE connectivity with better-than-average battery life. The Motorola RAZR also received a handful of recommendations based on the recent price drop to $99.
AT&T (T). The iPhone 4S and the Nokia Lumia 900 were the most recommended devices at AT&T, followed closely by the Samsung Note and Samsung Skyrocket. The Lumia is still receiving a significant amount of hype from AT&T representatives and many we spoke with actually owned the device personally.
Sprint (S). The Samsung Epic 4G Touch and the iPhone 4S remain the top devices, though we also received some recommendations for the LG Viper, Sprint's first LTE smartphone. The Motorola Photon also continues to receive modest recommendations.
T-Mobile. The HTC One S, which launched late last week, was the most recommended device at stores we contacted. Reps highlighted its sleek design and improved camera functionality over previous Android
devices as points of differentiation. The Samsung Galaxy S II and the HTC Amaze also continued to receive
strong recommendations.
Power notes that Apple (AAPL) is still his top pick among device makers, given its growing market share: "Apple has established itself as the premium provider in the burgeoning smartphone market. We expect the company to further expand its market position, while also capitalizing on anumber of newer growth initiatives, including the iPad, which we believe is early in its growth cycle. Risks includeincreasing competition from Android, high expectations from the Street and a decline in iPod sales. AAPL iscurrently trading at 13.0x our calendar 2012 EPS estimate and 10.6x calendar 2013. That compares to HTC and RIMM at 7.4x and 13.3x our 2013 estimates, respectively. Our $740 target price is based on 13x our calendar 2013interest-adjusted EPS estimate of $52.98. A 13x multiple reflects a slight premium to the big-cap tech group atroughly 11x, which we believe is justified by higher-than-average growth."

Sorry, Mr. Toad. …..I just plain forgot you might be asleep under all that composting material in my No. 4 garden square.
Last weekend, I made crazy use of the fine weather and spent virtually all daylight hours outside shaping up my expanded front flower bed and my garden squares.
The flower bed was a lot of work with my little tiller going wide open to break up new ground and fold in the nutrients and compost.
Then, I moved plants from other spots in the yard to their new bed. Whew, that was work. But it was good work, you know?
Sunday, I directed my attention to my garden ground on the north side of my house.
Two of the plots were merely messy from last fall's final harvests. A third was just a little weedy.
But the fourth had never been gardened and was where I tossed just about any sort of organic matter for improvement.
As the tiller whined along, I wiggled it along parallel to the lawn-timber borders inching closer and closer to the center. Sometimes I'd run into a rock or some other hard materials. So, I'd stop, get my shovel and poke around to extricate the unwanted.
About 75 percent of my way through Square 4, some such impediment occurred.
As I stooped gracefully to pick some large stones from the cake-like topsoil, one of the big "rocks" jumped.
"EEEEEIIIIIIIIIIIOOOOO!" I shrieked. Actually, it was more like a big ole scream.
There sat Mr. Toad in a dazed state. I apparently had tilled through his winter abode and prematurely shook him from his reveries.
He looked a lot like my now-deceased father, when he'd get up early, his hair a bit disheveled from a night's rest, his face kind of screwed up in disbelief at the sunshine in his eyes.
"Oh, Mr. Toad, I am soooo sorry," I said in a normal tone of voice as I calmed down from my start.
So, with my garden-gloved hand, I picked him up and gently tossed him into Garden Square No. 1, which by now was a nice soft landing and one I wasn't going to revisit until almost May.
That's been four days. I've been conducting my garden-minutae inspections ever since (these continue until it's too cold to grow anything else).
But I haven't seen hide nor hair of Mr. Toad.
I'm hoping he's hopped on down to another relatively new, circular flower bed just under the branch-tips of a scraggly old magnolia tree anchoring the north side of the front yard.
Toad, sir, I've been known to dish out some rough treatment at times, but yours certainly was an exception to my gardening policy.
Welcome to the neighborhood. And set a spell.

t p i problems
hey guys,
anyone know of a tuned port specialist in the northern mass.,or southern n.h area?
Post the problem.
Alot of guys here familiar with fuel injection.
There's not much difference between TPI and any other injection system.
After re reading through your threads, I realize
1 you have a 86 Tuned port SBC
2 you should have a 16198259 ECM to run it
3 I did not see a Mass Air Flow sensor on the engine or in the airstream.
4 It has become obvious that you could also have god knows what for a wiring harness this could be 1 of 2 of your biggest problems.
I have seen you post several times and realize your head must be spinning.
Do you have any part of the harness that isnt plugged into a sensor or the computer.
Didnt you also say the ECM has 3 plugs and the harness has only 2?
Hmmmmmmm. :pain:
t p i prblems
the harness has three plugs that are all pluged into the computer.the computer is for speed density[16198262] and it is running maf.it has a paneless harness that has wires cut.since the car is in storage,i cant do much work on it now,but this problem is driving me nuts.i keep going to look at it and just scratch my head.have found a hot rod shop close by and as soon as the roads get better,will take it to them and hope they can figure it out.
thanks for all your input.i have learned a lot.
According to your pics, it is not running MAF.
You don't have an air intake tube at all. This is where the Mass Air Flow sensor is located.
Just trying to help you understand your engine. Don't take it the wrong way.
As mentioned, if you want to run MAF, you'll need a new ECM, you said yourself that your ECM is speed density (MAP which stands for Manifold Absolute Pressure) and maybe a new harness.
TPI blows it does not flow enough air in stock form and the aftermarket solutions are very costly once you get everything purchased and installed. USally wiring harness, upper lower and throttle body need to be replaced along with injectors and computer just to hit 300 hp. then the troubles really start costing money.
Junk the TPI install carb and intake drive car for next 20 years without problems.
Some gotchas for tpi.
Wiring gets old and brittle and cant be repaired easily. corrosoin will finally end the wiring problems with a full on replacement that is not as easy as one might think.
For your current problem check all the grounds and make sure they are clean and brite if you have never done it before its a good project for the next time you see the car. At least you will have a direction that is not wrong even if it is not a solution.
Op: what is your problem? We can't help you if you don't say what's wrong.
If you're running a cut harness then 99% of the time you have to have the computer tuned. Basically it's looking for signals that it's not getting.
What part of the tpi is a good system? Mine was junk. Replacement cost was more than it was worth and a carb makes more power with less problems. The tpi does not flow is its most killing problem even with all the best stuff stock manifolds will not make much more than 300 hp no matter what mods are done sep for boosting it.
Now with boost they work ok. great for turbos give good low end tq. But for NA engine that will spin over 6000 rpm then the tpi will not work. They are so small the engine will not make power above 5K rpm some say 4K rpm is the max for the system. My vette came with the best gm had to offer it was still crap.
The simple fact is clear to anyone that has any knowledge of tpi. It is designed to make max power at 2500 rpm. below that is good above that is good. But get to far away and it will clogged your engine worse than running a two barrel carb. Most two barrels will flow more air than the stock tpi system.
Yeah good system but if you want power let it go. get a bigger manifold and tbi or lt1 or edelbrock system or just a nice big carb. all are way better. Carb only cost a few hundred bucks and your back on the road.
My neighbor had and irocz with the tpi engine. All he did was a cam and exhaust and that thing was definitely no slouch. For the average build it's a good setup and performs well. Plus it's very street friendly especially as a daily driver or such. Now if you were trying to put 500 to the wheels i can see that it will be a problem. But to get 400 crank hp shouldn't be a problem at all. Just like carburetors it will only support so much power. You can run a mild small block on a 600cfm but you'd definitely need to step up to a larger carb if you wanted more power. Same with the tpi. The stock setup can handle moderate power but it needs to be modified to make support higher power levels.
Saying the tpi sucks because it can't handle high hp is like saying tbi sucks for the same reason. Or that 2barrels suck cause they can't make 6million horsepower. Everything has it's purpose and the tpi does exactly what it was designed to do.
believe me,i don't take any thing the wrong way.i know you guys are trying to help,and I appreciate it.
I want to keep the t p I and am not concerned about speed.just like cruising and cruise nights.i have no preference in running maf or map.which ever will be the less costly.the cars runs fine,once warmed up,so I must be missing something.thanks for all your input.
Agreed. I have to admit that I missed the lack of MAF in the pics, but I'm in agreement that there is a mismatch of parts. OP put in an earlier thread that he has a 9th (cold start) injector and it is hooked up, but there wasn't any MAP systems that utilized the 9th injector.
As I mentioned in another of the OP's threads, getting some O2 datalogging info would be very beneficial as to why his engine runs poorly when cold. Also performing a pinout of his harness and comparing it to to stock pinouts should illuminate whether his harness has been modified.
Hopefully the shop that the car is going to be taken to is capable of doing these things. If so, then I'm sure the problem will be resolved.
Regarding, the 'obnoxious' comment, I don't know if I'd say obnoxious, but I would say close minded and I believe it is relatively egotistical to assume that everyone else wants what you want - to each his own:thumbup:
X2 with Nailhead. The TPI did what it was designed to do at the time is was built, and did it well.
80s cars lacked any power at all and the way to sell a performance car was to build it to run stop light to stoplight. The TPI works well to build torque and doesnt need to rev high to do it. That would also allow pretty decent mileage if just cruising.
They also look pretty cool , especially in street rods when some of the stuff is polished up.
Not my cup of tea, but I allways enjoy seeing them at the car show.
Helping a fellow hotrodder is important. If you dont like the build ...dont post.
Negativity usually comes from within someone who is unhappy with themself, so they try to make others unhappy , so they arent alone. Pretty sad.:P
Wiring harness in cars under the hood really need to be soldered and taped and shrink wrapped just to survive a few years must less the life of the car. Twisted or using butt connectors will not work it will also have high resistence and not function properly. The older computers were even more likely to not be happy when the connection are corroded.
If your tpi computer is setup for maf and you have a map sensor tpi system from an older car you may want to buy an older ecu to match. Yes you can reprogram and all types of other crap but a new ecu from ebay is under 100 bucks and may solve the problem straight out. if the rest of the system is setup correctly. The ecu for any tpi system is based on the car. No cars from different models had the same ecu. Best to get the one that belongs in what ever type of car the tpi came from. If its all stock then you have another problem that must be address. But make sure its wired and setup correctly.
Some cars and truck have the same systems but they may be wired to different pins in the computer. this can and does change from year to year.
If you can give me a full list of years and makes of all cars the tpi is from and where all the parts came from i can probably figure out where the disfunction is. I am willing to bet its the 9th injector and just needs the correct model ecu installed.
Not to be harsh or obnoxous in 1990 tpi was bad arse. But now its not really easy to keep going or its not all that reliable once it starts to fail. I hate to tell someone advice that will lead them down a road of spending more money than they want. Over time the tpi will be a money pit or a source of frustration. But it does work good when properly setup. That being said my vette has a carb!
No stock manifold tpi system can make 400 hp without boost or n2o.
you can not get the low end ft lb that a tpi gets..
telling the guy to just install a carb. is somewhat silly.. as you don't know if he has to pass emmissions.. and opening the hood and the tester see'n a carb will be instant fail..
why the tpi wasn't used in trucks.. other than cost..
I'll never know..
I'm running a 92 TPI unit in my 4500 lb Chevy pickup and it does have the nice torque.
Mileage has increased since the swap as well and she runs smooth after installing a milder than the mild cam I had. I picked up more torque with that swap and hopefully a bit of mileage as well.
All this talk of wiring harnesses rotting and stuff is making me nervous though. I hope it doesn't turn to dust and fall off my truck.
I have had 2 injectors go on me and that is a pain. The design kind of sucks as the whole upper plenum needs to come off to get the fuel rails out.
I agree with lack of high HP. I have a dyno that shows how it drops off after 4000 RPM's.
For me torque is king though and I love it. :thumbup:

In response to reports overnight that Apple's (AAPL) iPhone was targeted by the U.S. National Security Agency with spyware programs, the company this afternoon issued a statement denying any knowledge of the hack, and asserting protection of users' security, while stopping short of addressing the presence or absence of the software on its devices.
Apple said in an emailed statement,
Apple has never worked with the NSA to create a backdoor in any of our products, including iPhone. Additionally, we have been unaware of this alleged NSA program targeting our products. We care deeply about our customers' privacy and security. Our team is continuously working to make our products even more secure, and we make it easy for customers to keep their software up to date with the latest advancements. Whenever we hear about attempts to undermine Apple's industry-leading security, we thoroughly investigate and take appropriate steps to protect our customers. We will continue to use our resources to stay ahead of malicious hackers and defend our customers from security attacks, regardless of who's behind them.
The statement leaves open the question of whether the security exploit, "Dropoutjeep," has actually operated on iOS devices "in the wild," so to speak. The article from September in Der Spiegel by Marcel Rosenbach, Laura Poitras and Holger Stark, which kicked off the recent commotion, cited NSA documents revealed by Edward Snowden that portray NSA attempting to hack iOS and Google's (GOOG) Android operating system. However, the article doesn't indicate any of this operated in the wild,
The material contains no indications of large-scale spying on smartphone users, and yet the documents leave no doubt that if the intelligence service defines a smartphone as a target, it will find a way to gain access to its information.
Apple shares today are up $4.41, or 0.8%, at $558.93.

Dyson to speak on digital computing, Oct. 5
Posted September 30, 2004; 03:58 p.m.
Author George Dyson will present a lecture titled "Barricelli's Universe: Digital Computing in Princeton, 1945-58" at 8 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 5, in McCosh 10 as part of the University's Public Lectures Series.
Dyson is the son of Freeman Dyson, professor emeritus of physics at the Institute for Advanced Study. George Dyson, a Director's Visitor at the institute in 2002-03, will present material illustrating the highlights of hardware and software development at the institute led by John von Neumann. He will emphasize some pioneering work in computational biology by geneticist Nils Aall Barricelli in which the institute took the lead.
A boat designer, writer and historian of technology, Dyson's interests have ranged from the development and redevelopment of the Aleut kayak ("Baidarka," 1986) to the evolution of digital computing and telecommunications ("Darwin Among the Machines," 1997) and nuclear bomb-propelled space exploration ("Project Orion," 2002). He teaches at Western Washington University.
Dyson's talk is designated as the Walter E. Edge Lecture and will be available for online viewing a week after the event.

Doing a short piece in a local hunting journal. I tried a few searches and came up empty. I recall reading that LA was number one, followed by AR, and CA. Does that sound right? Anyone have a link to some data? As I remember, the ratio between hunters and harvest was considerably larger in the first two. If that is correct, I have to thank all of the liberals here--more opportunity for me! Send a link if you can.
Thanks, John

I just posted my account of Necronomicon 2001 to my Web site; H.P. Lovecraft fans will be interested. If you're a Lovecraft fan, you so want to go to this convention. Trust me. Put it on your schedule for 2003. (Less interesting day-to-day things are in my regular diary, of course.)
I've written a guide to helping develop Python, which argues that Python is a good project to apprentice on and then discusses how its development is organized. Comments on the document would be greatly appreciated. Does it give you a reasonable picture of how the process works? Are there any other topics that need to be covered?
(I couldn't find an e-mail address for you on your Web page, so I'm resorting to this rather public method.)
At work, finished setting up the new Cornell computer (I think) and started figuring out how to set things up so everyone can run a ZEO server on their development machines, instead of directly using FileStorage. As an amusement, I reformatted my /data partition to use Reiserfs instead of ext2, since I'd like to get some experience with it. My /data partition holds various large source trees that are mostly external, and that I just CVS update, compile, and perhaps install: Mozilla, KDE, Linux, and the Python 2.0 CVS tree. As an experiment, I started up a KDE compilation with "make -j 2" and then turned the computer off, since Reiserfs is supposed to handle such crashes better than ext2 does. The results weren't encouraging; the machine rebooted OK, and the kernel logged a "Replaying 5 transactions" message when the partition was mounted, but then some files, such as the "configure" script, "config.cache", and "Makefile" were replaced with binary junk, perhaps from one of the object files being produced at the time of the crash. Maybe there's something I don't understand about setting up Reiserfs, perhaps some startup script or fsck invocation needed to reconcile matters.
splork: The un-SWIGged BerkeleyDB module is here. I'm still not very confident in it because I don't have a comprehensive test suite for it. Jim Fulton also pointed out a few missing API functions that need to be added, so I hope to hack on the module again before too long.
My previous Advogato diary entry was on August 31; it's much easier for me to maintain my personal diary pages, since I can let an entry slip for a few days and still get the date right, so readers interested in my diary should follow those pages.
Made a preliminary attempt at packaging up the Z Object Database, in order to make it possible for people to install it easily and then write software that requires the ZODB. Digital Creations seems to have no interest in making the software readily available outside of Zope, so I polished up my setup.py scripts, added MANIFEST files, and wrote some instructions.
Book review: Mike Nelson's Movie Megacheese,
Michael J. Nelson
A collection of Mike's columns from Home Theater magazine. More entertaining than the Roger Ebert book I recently read, and a few absolutely side-splitting sentences are scattered through it: "Much of Twister was done in the digital domain, with 1s representing incompetence and 0s representing crap." (A sentence whose memory gave me serious giggles in a meeting today when someone mentioned a binary flag.)
Yesterday: Wrote a section on augmented assignment. Added a BerkeleyDB test suite from Stefane Fermigier; I really need to make a new release of the code. No actual discussion at book club, but luckily Martha brought a nifty game called Fluxx and we played two games of it; I'm going to have to get a copy.
Today: Released BerkeleyDB v2.9.1. Downloaded the latest version of LaTeX2HTML in order to make a new HTML version of "What's New"; the obnoxious fiddling required to produce good HTML from LaTeX never stops annoying me. The sooner TeX/LaTeX are dead and buried, the better; I think that will happen around 4 years from now.
Wrote most of the python-dev summary on the Metro in the morning (thanks to my new laptop), and posted it in the evening. Proposed writing a PEP for improving the CGI-related modules for Python. Got started on the job of hand-writing a natural Python interface for BerkeleyDB. (It's amazing how much cruft SWIG adds under the hood!)
Barbara and I finally took the Capital Hauntings tour on our second try; last week's was cancelled because of rain, and while it rained briefly during this evening's walk, it wasn't hard enough to make the guide cancel it. The Washington DC walk turned out to be better written and organized than the Ottawa one, with some care given to telling stories in a satisfying order that led to some sort of conclusion or overriding impression. However, the guide wasn't equipped with a cape and lantern, which would have added a lot to the mood on this cloudy and thundery day. The tour took about an hour and a half, but didn't cover much territory, only going over a few blocks around Lafayette Square and ending on the sidewalk in front of the White House.
When I got home, I then stayed up until midnight finishing off and posting the latest python-dev summary, and also setting up a temporary archive for them.
A bunch of minor check-ins at work, and we also roughed out an interface for adding base processes. I worked a bit more on translating the sequence builder to Quixote, but am still far from having anything functioning. In the evening I finished the Python emulation of the ncurses has_key() function, and submitted a minor cleanup patch to various modules to use the METH_VARARGS macro instead of the constant 1.
New HTML Parser: The long-awaited libxml2 based HTML parser code is live. It needs further work but already handles most markup better than the original parser.
Keep up with the latest Advogato features by reading the Advogato status blog.
If you're a C programmer with some spare time, take a look at the mod_virgule project page and help us with one of the tasks on the ToDo list!

The Rose The Bullet The Window came as a response to a recent trip to Europe. While it evolved from a marriage of the many influences from that journey it also allowed me to unite these with a defiantly beautiful burl (The Rose) that had lain for 10 years untouched in my studio. I discovered this burl lying beneath a 400-year-old River Red Gum on a farm in Moyston in the shadows of the Grampians. The manner in which it could be utilised sculpturally had been previously unclear; however, the burl would now act as a linkage from my past to the new and compelling experiences of my recent travels. Just as I had been seduced by the burl's exquisite beauty and detail, I discovered a new way to interpret the art works of Europe, not to view them in their entirety but to gain a more personal access by an exploration of their surface detail and material aspects. Further, the painting, sculpture and architecture were no longer the only catalyst for inspiration. Now the nuance of surfaces, the colour of glaze on a Renaissance plate, the riveting of armour, the windows of medieval fortifications, and the frame of a fourteenth-century annunciation triptych were my new fixation. My challenge became to unite these diverse resonances into a cohesive sculptural presence.

check this one out
Check out this post that I got off another bulletin board. Some things just p**s me off.
eating stiper
Posted on 05/17/00 at 08:10:46 by david h.
I was wondering if someone knew the best way to cook striped bass.i have a ton of fillets in the freezer but i'm not really sure on the best way to cook them.i really appericate some advise.thanks
RE:check this one out
dave- Some people just don't have a clue, but it takes all types to make the world go 'round.
This brings me to something I've been mulling over- why not make stripers, bluefish, weakfish and maybe fluke artificials only fisheries. This would eliminate the deep hooking experienced with bait plus save the food for these fish from being harvested as bait- generally wasted anyway. What do you think? ronl
RE:check this one out
Boy, would a dedicated fly guy like me like such a ruling... unfortunately it would be hard to isolate the use of bait for some species like flounder, scup, tautog - even bluefish from stripers. One could isolate the use of live baitfish (herring, pogies, mackeral) and that would slow down the consumption of these baitfish - particularly by the wasteful practices of some guys who net up a horde of herring at the run and use 6 of them (dumping the other 100 dead ones). It would not preclude the commercial kill for frozen bait -or- the real enemy, purse seiners who use fish like menhaden by the ton for chemical and pet food purposes.
If the use of bait was restricted within certain areas in certain seasons, that would work. This is how things are managed elsewhere in the US.
For instance: The Merrimac River from Newburyport Bridge (1A) to mouth, no bait from May 15 - September 15, single barbless artificials only.
This would have such an incredibly profound effect on the welfare of school bass in the system that I would be willing to bet the impact on Massachusetts striped bass mortality levels would be measurable and significant.
Multiply that with other such restricted regions with seasonal restrictions, and you have yourself a working no-bait policy IMHO. If you want to live-line, go somewhere else. Those who are in the groove with this hot fishery can switch to jigs and sluggos, flies and poppers, etc.
The areas should be chosen with consideration for the impact it will have - for instance, an area that gets mostly local attention with some occasional tourist interest... even the most heinous techniques will have little impact on the population.
The areas that are continually elbow-to-elbow or at least very heavily fished should be targeted for special regulations including exclusion of bait.
RE:check this one out
Ya I had a weird thought. As a side benefit, the largely unorganized bait guys might get mad enough to form some type of group to defend their god given right to slay schoolies with swallowed chunks. In that process they would have to do at least some type of learning about existing striper stocks and their contribution to mortality. Some education might happen regardless. They simply don't know. Bring on the pamphlets.
RE:check this one out
You guys can beat up on the "Neanderthal Chunkers" all day but you know what? There are PLENTY of artificial slingers out there with their barbed double or triple treble hook lures that KILL almost every fish they hook in the process of releasing it. I watch them all the time in Plymouth harbor. I fly fish most of the time and I am sure it offers the lowest number of C&R mortalities but we still get them, some more than others.I know bait fishermen who fish big hooks & a tight drag and they rarely gut hook a fish. It goes both ways.
This is an educational issue for ALL fishermen. If the state printed up millions of pamphlets on how to reduce the mortality rate, we still need to get people to respond by reading and practicing it. This is not going to happen in a time when even human life is held in disregard by so many.
Too many of these "idiot" anglers continue their practices because they know that nothing will happen to them. As much as I hate to admit it, I think "law enforcement" is the way to go. They (the state) can even bring on the salt water license to pay for it as far as I am concerned. It's time to get tough on these bozos. I will speak to a violator once in a while but it can be dangerous these days.

Long time since my last diary... Just been busy with my too many projects and most specifically my Relax NG book!
I have resumed work on two of my open source projects:
- XSLTUnit
- No major enhancements here, but a port from a Saxon specific extension to the EXSLT exsl:node-set() function. This makes XSLTUnit much more portable since it should run on any EXSLT compliant XSLT processor. Unfortunately this is not (yet?) the case with libxslt because of a couple of bugs related to the lack of support of a root node in the node set result.
- Examplotron
- Major redesign for Examplotron 0.5 which compiler is no longer generating a XSLT transformation but a Relax NG schema (with embedded Schemantron constraints when needed). The set of features is pretty much the same, the purpose of the intermediate release been to evaluate the impact of the changes. This will give a stronger base to the project and facilitate adding new features.
That's fun to see three of my unrelated projects starting to work together: XSLTUnit is now used to do unit tests on Examplotron and the result of the compilation of an Examplotron can be used as an input for xvif...

I don't do much scouting early. I have areas that I hunt regularly and know the birds will be around. I will check these areas a couple weeks before the season to see what has come in. At times if you go before they break up you won't see any sign and when season comes along there are plenty of birds. If I find new property to hunt I will go early just to learn the lay of the land. I do ride around and watch the flocks of birds early but don't really do any planning on what I see. They probably won't be there when they break up and move on.
PS By the way Jim how is the hernia doing?

|Pacific Northwest Sea Run Forum No such thing as rainbow trout, only landlocked steelhead

RE:Proof that Atlantic Salmon are spawning in our PNW Steelhead rivers
They pull OK, plus no guilt about BBQing one if you catch it. Did just that to the fish that inhaled my waking muddler several years back. Great fight - jumped about 5 times clear of the water.
That being said, I was a little bummed when I realized it wasn't a steelhead.

RE:Proof that Atlantic Salmon are spawning in our PNW Steelhead rivers
Hey guys - I'm still alive!
Unfortunately, so are escaped Atlantics! Here in BC we too have the vexing problem of virtually unregulated salmon farming. The real problem is that farmed salmon is now BC's leading agricultural export (at least the leading LEGAL one!) and our Government is falling over backward to accommodate this new cash cow. Like Juro, I don't automatically see aquaculture as bad, it is the total lack of regulation that is dangerous. I think I'd take my chances with salmon farming and NO nets - but alas, that is not going to happen (at least not soon enough). So how do we put pressure on governments to regulate the industry? I do know that some health organizations have real concerns over hormones given to farm fish , as well as the extensive and undeclared use of antibiotics to counter desease in the pens. Do we call in - gulp, shudder - Greenpeace? I don't know. As well, I think the inability of sports fishermen to decide if salmon farming is good or bad is paralyzing any organized voice to call for regulations.
In the mean time I guess I'll just go fishing, who knows maybe I'll catch an Atlantic - I hear they pull okay...
Tight lines - tyler.
This is a pretty hot topic out here in the PNW right now!
Atlantic Salmon are compared to everything from Green Crabs to Starlings to emphasize their potentially harmful ecological impact.
The disease factor is of the most concern, and after that the challenges to habitat and the limited forage in our West Slope rivers for salmon and steelhead smolt migrating out to the salt.
The most amazing thing I discovered in my readings is that the WDFW apparently made a concerted effort in the 80's to establish a self-sustaining run of Atlantics on the Green River. They failed, and blamed it in part on the differing Pacific/Atlantic ocean conditions that the Atlantics faced.
What to do??? I'm not sure - as many have suggested, fish farming is the currently the best alternative to the indiscriminate commercial nets for a fish-hungry public. But when does the price become too high?? I'll have to agree with Juro on this one - allow fish farms, but regulate them much more closely/strictly than is currently being done.
RE:Proof that Atlantic Salmon are spawning in our PNW Steelhead rivers
This infuriates me. I once thought that using pacific species instead was a better option but that was before I spoke with atlantic salmon anglers and found out how equally unfuriated they were about the pen-raised biologically engineered clones showing up in their streams. I now know that the 30 year Norwegian brood has evolved to a domestic state that allows them to be raised as mules would (verses wild horses).
I am not entirely against aquaculture, even if a typical farm does produce as much effluent as a population of 40,000 people, even if the use of chemically induced color, flavor and resistance to disease is rampant, even if the pens are a form of cruelty to a fish that would otherwise travel thousands of open ocean miles.
I am however adamantly against the current practices which result in hundreds of thousands of escapees a year; and the lack of regulations and penalties to keep these businesses in check.
What strategies and actions can we actually take on this issue?
Any thoughts?

I can remember being very young, and being at a TRU well after ROTJ was released... they had a ton of now vintage figures on clearance for .98 cents... My parents bought me the Rancor for $2.00 and Bib Fortuna for .98 cents... I was really into the Jabba Palace stuff at the time.
I remember seeing the Luke Stormtrooper, and a few others...
but .98 CENTS !! and we only walked out with two items??
I wish I knew then what I know now.
Does anyone else remember any sales like this... or have any vintage toy stories??

Enjoy this flavorful vegetable salad – a perfect side dish.
For maximum cucumber crunch, choose firm, slender cucumbers with thin skins. Cucumber seeds become bitter with age. Slice older cucumbers in half lengthwise and run the tip of a spoon down the center to remove the seeds. Or try hothouse cucumber. These very long slender cucumbers don't have many seeds but cost a bit more.
Rice vinegar is less acidic than cider, white or wine vinegar. Look for it near the other vinegars in the grocery store.

Celera exec discusses genome project, April 17
Posted April 11, 2001; 04:29 p.m.
Venter, the scientist-entrepreneur who led the private effort to sequence the human genome, will present a public lecture at 8 p.m. Tuesday, April 17, in Helm Auditorium, McCosh 50.
Venter, whose talk is titled "Sequencing the Human Genome," is president and chief scientific officer of the Celera Genomics Corp., which established itself as a competitor to the international, publicly financed sequencing program.
In 1990, scientists began an organized effort to map the sequence of chemical units that make up human DNA. The effort was led by a consortium of academic centers and was financed for the most part by the National Institutes of Health and the Wellcome Trust of England.
In 1998, Venter announced that Celera would sequence the genome by 2000, five years sooner than the public consortium's goal of 2005. That initiative greatly accelerated the process, which culminated with a joint announcement by both groups on June 26, 2000, that the sequencing was complete. The groups published their findings -- the results of analyzing 3.12 billion chemical units -- in the journals Science and Nature in February.
Between 1984 and 1992, Venter was a section and lab chief in the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke at the National Institutes of Health. In 1990, he developed "expressed sequence tags" (ESTs), a new strategy for gene discovery that has revolutionized the biological sciences. Venter left the NIH in 1992 and founded The Institute for Genomic Research, a not-for-profit genomics research institution. He formed Celera in 1998 in collaboration with the Perkin Elmer Corp., a scientific instrumentation company.
Venter's lecture is sponsored by the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs.

Factory Tours
Those TV shows where they show you how things are made are great and all, but they're missing the best part: samples. Massachusetts has all kinds of factory tours that let you experience the making process hands-, eyes-, and sometime even mouth-on. Take the Taza Chocolate Factory Tour and and see what dreams, er, chocolate is made of. Sampling the product makes the tour more interesting at Boston's two big brewers: the Sam Adams Brewery and Harpoon Brewery. If you like your factories cute and cuddly, the Island Alpaca Company on Martha's Vineyard has got you covered (in alpaca fleece). And at Cape Cod Potato Chips, you'll see how those weird things that grow in the ground turn into perfectly golden chips. Free samples, of course, included.

Nothin' But .Net is a five day boot camp that will focus on pragmatically applying .Net within the context of developing a working N-Tiered application. Registrants will learn about advanced features of .Net (2.0/3.0) as they are applied to the task of building a complete application from the UI layer all the way down to the mapping layer.
If you are expecting to come to this course to learn about how to have VS.Net automatically generate an 'application' for you, then this course is NOT for you.
This course is all about taking control of the .Net framework and having it work the way you want. This course will place a heavy emphasis on getting back to the basics and making .Net do things the way you want it to, in a predictable and testable way.
This course will focus on a code centric view of application development vs. the typical databinding/designer magic covered by many typical .Net courses. You will walk away with a deep understanding of fundamental aspects of .Net and how these pieces can be used to develop and deliver enterprise scale applications.
Although the list may look rather daunting, the majority of the bullet points will be covered during the evolutionary design and construction of the sample project.
One of the main goals of the course is to show how to effectively use behavior (test) driven development, design patterns and a solid toolset to develop a portion of a non-trivial application.
The course will allow students to pragmatically apply BDD practices as well as teach people how to utilize fundamental OO concepts and techniques that will allow for them to have cleaner, more loosely coupled architectures. It will also be an opportunity for students to see what is involved in creating applications that utilize a Rich Domain Model,and the supporting infrastructure that is required to use "Plain Old Objects".
I have successfully delivered this course several times with great success. I anticipate that people who are interested will find that this is a very unique course offering, not typical of what is being delivered in the mainstream.
There are only spots for 8 people to register. The course costs $2500/US for a full 5 days. The fee covers:
Newer: Refactoring to reveal intent
Older: DNRTv Episode 3 - Correction

Release Date. 15/10/12
Catalogue Number. BDDNL202
It's hardly revealing a state secret to say that Wiley is a man of many contradictions, and in this spirit we offer you a new 12" from his album, Evolve Or Be Extinct, from which we've already released four 1Xtra-playlisted singles ("Link Up," "Boom Blast," Evolve Or Be Extinct / I'm Skanking" and "Only Human") but not his recent first UK Number One, "Heat Wave." Furthermore, this single is the antithesis of "Heatwave" in almost every respect, representing as it does Wiley's last reaction to a brush with mainstream acceptance.
In 2008, after the huge success of "Wearing My Rolex," Wiley skipped off a tour in Australia and instead hung out with Mark Pritchard for a couple of weeks, recording in his studio. The results were "Scar" and "Money Man," two low-slung, loping pieces of electronic nastiness from the Warp-signed mastermind of projects as diverse as his Harmonic 313 guise and his work as Africa Hitech. Wiley, meanwhile, freed from the straitjacket of trying to rap in a way acceptable to the higher powers of playlist, allows his thoughts to run free, making unlikely connections and strange juxtapositions – the most natural street surrealist since Sal Dali.
For this 12", as well as offering up the original instrumentals, Pritchard has hooked up a Harmonic 313 remix of "Money Man" that pays homage to the early roots of grime (and in particular, Wiley's own Eski productions) while losing none of his own muscular futurism.

Thirdly, as to SIZE.
One hears to-day often the statement, even from thoughtful persons, that we are upon the eve of making a "great nation"; the context showing the word "great" is not used merely in its sense of size, as it might be used of an agglutination of seaweeds, or a long row of sand-hills, but in its loftier sense to indicate something exalted and desirable in human life; and the statement is even sometimes so made that it would almost seem to indicate that a company of able, well-intentioned men sitting round a table might almost instantaneously manufacture this "great" nation as a carpenter might an arm-chair.
Such statements seem to be not merely page: 38 misleading, but gravely pernicious, as they tend to the implanting of a false national ideal.
Leaving aside the fact that a nation cannot be manufactured, that it exists and grows from its own roots, or it does not—and that though powerful individuals may accelerate its growth or tend it in certain directions for good or evil, they cannot create it—the serious objection to the statement lies in the fact that it suggests the idea that by the mere agglutination of units into a larger political union something lofty and desirable must necessarily arise. But a nation because the length of its territory is five thousand miles and its population proportionate is of no necessity greater, in the loftier sense, than one whose length is only one thousand and its population proportionate, than a man weighing 350 pounds—perhaps with a feeble heart, an atrophied brain, and a distended abdomen—is of necessity in at all a more desirable condition than the man who weighs 120 pounds, who may have every organ sound and every function active: every inch such a man adds to his bulk may be to his damnation; and it may be so also with a nation. page: 39 The nations which have contributed most to the sum total of human good have seldom been large, and generally small and very small. The England of Elizabeth's day, with its minute population and small acreage, was greater than the whole Russian Empire is to-day—perhaps than she herself is now, with Ireland and India tacked to her sides! Rome, when she sat a Republic on her seven hills with her small territory round her, was immeasurably greater than when, a great, feeble, dilated body, she stretched across half the known world, waiting for the knife of the peoples she had conquered and armed to fight her battles, to stab her enfeebled heart; little Holland was greater than the whole Spanish Empire when it dominated Europe and ruled in the New World; Greece, even the little city and territory of Athens, which might have been put into many a Karroo farm and lost there, was greater and is more immortal than the whole Persian Empire. The tiny State of Switzerland is to-day greater than the whole vast territory of Brazil; and the small town of Concord, in America, has been immeasurably greater than up to the present have been the cities page: 40 of New York, Chicago, and San Francisco combined; they might pass away as a puff of smoke to-morrow and be forgotten, but the little town is immortal in the heart of humanity for the great deeds that have been done there and the wise men who have walked in her quiet streets; and it is quite within the range of possibility that if to-morrow we could unify the whole of the States and territories in South Africa, that at the end of fifty or one hundred years the whole huge entity might possess nothing so great to be recorded of it as are some pages in the history of the late little Free State, or even of the old Cape Colony.
Unlike as the physical conditions, the populations, and the problems of the different parts of South Africa are, there are still certain great underlying conditions making for unity everywhere, though in widely different proportions—all the same racial elements, white-man, black-man, and brown-man; almost everywhere there is the same clear, white sunlight, and a certain subtle conformity in the physical features of the country which we recognise as South African; and, diverse as our people, our land, and our page: 41 problems are in each part, they are yet more like each other than they are like anything else in the world. Adding to this the fact of our separation from other peoples at the end of a continent, it becomes clear that natural conditions do exist which will ultimately lead us to form parts of one large organisation; but whether that organisation will constitute a "great nation" or one very small and undesirable must depend on conditions far more deep and vital than the mere conglomeration of our States into a political whole touches.
Of the degrading and devitalising conceptions which can lay hold of the soul of an individual or a nation, the most purely destructive is the conception that the highest good to be attained is the continual accumulation of material possessions. And those who preach to us, whether intentionally or in the light-heartedness of careless speech, the doctrine that we can attain by the mere welding of our States into one huge political whole to true national greatness, are distilling into the cup of thought of a young nation drops of poison.
Unless the foundations be laid in justice page: 42 and wisdom, they labour in vain who build the State—though hand join in hand—and territory be annexed to territory.
