The *BEST* (Tom Barr's) low-tech start-up tank method. Easy to read beginner's guide!
For folks that have come & gone thru EI, pressurized CO2, etc, and want something lower maintenance (as if you have a life outside of your tanks lol), this is the best article I've found (this is Tom Barr's low-tech method in a nutshell, the "opposite" of Tom Barr's EI if you will).
The low tech method is applying the same principals but with different variables (lower lighting, low ferts, no co2, & no h2o changes), this article is a great summary; it will make more sense to those who have a background in EI, but even for any beginner, if they follow this article, the challenges to a healthy tank will be minimized).
Sudeep Mandal's *EXCELLENT* summary of Tom Barr's Musings
This is my 46g tank that I started 4 months ago, using the steps outlined in Sudeep's article. As you can see, moderately planted from the beginning (fairly heavy but could be heavier), break in w/ low light hours, etc.
This is my tank now, 4 months later. As you can see, not all the plants have survived (dwarf tear's didn't make it, val's barely making it, sag has thinned, dwarf clover doing ok), but, everything else going well. No h2o changes (just RO top-off's), ferts 2x weekly, 6 hours of 10K & 6.7K daily, daily feeding. A few otto's, and 10 nerite snails help out a ton. My lily's just started melting, so, I'll still have to make some small adjustments, but the low-tech method, with its slower pace, will allow you MUCH more time to identify problems and react before algae takes control.
I gleaned this article some time ago. It's a good article. And a great place for many just starting out. A jump point if you willl.
Kind of like the first bike with training wheels for confidence ... after a while takem' away see how you do.
Thanks for sharing.
Best wishes,
Thanks Wespastor. Someone could also avoid some of the tank startup issues by going "dry" at the beginning if they wanted (but the method described above works ok also): http://www.plantedtank.net/forums/ge...lgae-free.html
Non CO2 and the Dry start method (DSM) do go VERY well together. More so than amplified CO2 gardening methods.
I'm also curious why folks squabble on and on over wanting to avoid water changes and whine about pruning and maintenance, but then avoid this entire topic or poo poo it like the Plague.
Lack of patience, too much a CO2 scaper snob fan boy.......
You can scape at a very high level with non CO2, just takes longer and you need to learn different gardening techniques, be more patient with plants etc.
It amazes me more do not use this method, ironically, it's often the more advance folks who come back and try it these days. You can still have your gas and do this too, have 1 CO2 gas tank and then a few non CO2, this way you do not get overwhelmed.
This is a wise approach, not low tech really or lesser a skill, or aesthetic.
It's just plain sensible in an often un-sensible hobby.
That is a pretty comprehensive description of low light tanks, but I do have some disagreements with it. For example, the lighting he recommends, in watts per gallon, should be considered to mean little except for standard light fixtures sitting right on top of standard shaped tanks. On extra long, or breeder, or extra high tanks, those numbers will be far from correct. And his statement that CFL bulbs are less effective than T8 bulbs is clearly wrong.
And, it isn't CO2 that is the criteria for low maintenance tanks, it is light intensity. If you use 20 micromols per meter squared per second PAR lighting - close to the minimum you can use for growing plants with no CO2, and only for "low light" plants, you can still get much faster growth, for almost all plants, still with minimal algae problems by adding CO2 to the tank. The ideal tank has low light with moderate CO2 concentration - in my opinion - and DIY CO2 will work for that for all but the really big tanks.
He also misses the boat, in my opinion, in recommending a substrate. The most effective substrates are the fertile ones, like ADA Aquasoil, Fluval Stratum, mineralized topsoil, etc. If you do the simple mineralizing process on ordinary topsoil you have an excellent bottom layer for a substrate. Top that with a high CEC substrate, like Flourite, and you have an almost unbeatable substrate.
I hope the author will update his otherwise very good article to include some of these points, plus a few others I didn't mention.
Thank you Nbot ,Great info .
"Light meter? What the heck is that?"
Careful, I recently used Sundeep's advice about Diamond Black. USE THE GRANULAR VERSION OF HUMIC ACID.
Stumbled upon this via a google search, wanted to bump in case anyone else was doing this. Been following this guide with good results for the past 6 months.
This is what I've been looking for a nice hybrid approach that is easy to maintain. Truth be told, I barely have what is considered a planted tank but it gets kinda boring if you only have anubias, java fern, and java moss to work with.
This low tech approach is excellent. I've been using it to do a 125g tank with wild peruvian angel tank. I really love the minimal maintenance required, and the slow growth also works for me. Truth be told, there are many plants that will not just grow but thrive in this kind of setup, but in my experience, it's the wider leafed plants (as opposed to the rotala types) that do well with this. But nowadays there's many to choose from like the many different swords, crypts, hygros, mosses, and grass like plants. I think there's enough variety out there to do a stunning low-tech setup.
it looks like sudeep may have gone back and revised his article? I see now mention of CFL vs. T8s, only that spiral CFL are less efficient than T5s, which I can agree with.
I don't know if you remember me from several years ago when I bugged both of you with lots of questions and tried my hand (very successfully!) at growing a dwarf hairgrass foreground for my LT tank using Tom's dry start method. I am infact Sudeep, the author of that article and unfortunately, I've been away from the PT community for several years due to a lot of changes on the personal front.
When i wrote that article, it really was more a way for me to collect all the great information I had gleaned from all my research online and put it in one place so I could go back and refer to it when needed. I have a terrible memory so it has served well. I never expected it then, but that article ranks very high on Google and a lot of people seem to be reading it to learn about building low tech tanks. I'm thrilled that it is helping people get started along their wonderful journey of planted tanks. I would love to update this article by removing any erroneous information and adding any new developments/best practices that have come up over the past few years.
Would it be possible for either of you to PM me or reply on this thread with any suggestions for what I should change/add? I'd also be happy to add links to any other forum threads or sites that might have more detailed information on certain aspects of low tech planted tanks under "further reading".
Cheers and thanks for all your help in getting me started with planted tanks. I'm glad I've been able to give back to the community in my own little way.
Best wishes,

Julie FerwerdaJulie Ferwerda's Blog
- 2009 Aug 07
3:1 Now in early autumn, when the Israelites had settled in their towns, all the people assembled together as one person in Jerusalem. I see this as a possible picture of the future Bride of Christ! Also, NLT leaves this detail out, but the verse actually reads, "In the seventh month..." The seventh month is "Tishri" which is the month where all the fall Feasts occur. The people are seen celebrating the Feast of Trumpets (vs. 6) which falls 15 days before the Feast of Tabernacles (Shelters), with the day of Atonement in between.
I got goosebumps while studying this passage. Why? Remember yesterday when we saw that the Jews began building an altar last week though there is no Temple? And remember how Cyrus is a definitive Christ-type who rules all the nations and who confiscates the items from the storehouse of the antichrist (Nebby) in order to rebuild the Temple? Well, check out a couple verses in this passage:
3:3 Even though the people were afraid of the local residents, they rebuilt the altar at its old site.
3:6 Fifteen days before the Festival of Shelters began (Trumpets), the priests had begun to sacrifice burnt offerings to the LORD. This was also before they had started to lay the foundation of the LORD's Temple. Though the Jews have recently begun the building of the altar, one might wonder if they are going to begin sacrifices again on the altar before the construction of the Temple, and perhaps before the return of Christ. I read this again tonight, I saw that they didn't begin sacrificing until the Feast of Trumpets (remember that Jesus will return on a Feast of Trumpets), which probably means that they don't begin until Jesus has appeared to us at the Trumpets. Plus, Cyrus was already king. And even though there may be no Temple yet, according to this picture, that's okay when you consider the next verse...
3:8 The construction of the Temple of God began in midspring, during the second year after they arrived in Jerusalem. Perhaps this is a clue of when the Temple construction will actually begin in the MK.
3:12 Many of the older priests, Levites, and other leaders remembered the first Temple, and they wept aloud when they saw the new Temple's foundation. Picture a future day when those who originally beheld the Temple made by human hands, and they contrast it to the Temple being made by God's hands—a Temple made up of His people! I imagine there will be a lot of weeping and shouts of joy!
4:13 But we wish you to know that if this city is rebuilt and its walls are completed, it will be much to your disadvantage, for the Jews will then refuse to pay their tribute, customs, and tolls to you. If you follow the news in the Middle East, this is happening today. The Jews have so many enemies who do not want them migrating into Israel or expanding their domain, or God forbid, building another Temple! Also confirm today's attitudes toward Israel in verses 15-16!
2 Corinthians
Yesterday we talked about how the chosen ones or "called out ones" will always appear foolish and be despised by the "wise" of this world system. It reminded me of Papa (from India) today as I was working on his book. I came across this quote:
"Because of God's love, I can love people who are unlovable. When I am deceived and cheated, it makes no difference. I'm not a person loved by rich people, even big fellows. I have only a few people outside of the poor who love me. Because I am trusting and simple, they think I am a fool and try to take advantage of me. But very few people truly love me. I can count them on my fingers. But does that stop me from loving? Never."
I love Papa. I miss him! Wait till you read his biography!! (I hope you do)
Yet we do speak wisdom among those who are mature; a wisdom, however,
not of this age nor of the rulers of this age, who are passing away...
As we share the wisdom of God with those who are called, we will be
able to speak out this wisdom together—a wisdom not understood by those
of this age!
2:7-8 ...but we speak God's wisdom in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God predestined before the ages to our glory; the wisdom which none of the rulers of this age has understood; for if they had understood it they would not have crucified the Lord of glory... He must be considering the "rulers of this age" as the Jewish teachers and leaders, because they are the ones who truly crucified Jesus. Not the political leaders. Notice He predestined us before the ages to our glory. That is the called out ones he is talking about, and remember that the chosen are chosen by sacred lots.
2:12-13 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may know the things freely given to us by God, which things we also speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit...
28:4 NASB says, "Requite them according to their work and according to the evil of their practices." NLT says, "Give them the punishment they so richly deserve!" The emotional appeal is quite different! One is more matter of fact, "Repay them according to their evil deeds," and the other is, "burn those suckers!" For those new to the blog, I prefer option 1 (just to clear up any doubt).

hey guys, i work freelance for the NEXL (new england xball league) and the NEPL (new england paintball league) my current situation with them is if i provide them with photos to use on their website/facebook page/etc to promote the league i get onto the field free/free media access/etc. great opportunity for because of that iv been offered to go national and work some PSP events for a few pro teams. anyway, looking for some feedback on my latest event, always looking to hear what people think so i know how to improve the shots.
a little background on the limitations and hardships of what i do. there are only 2 areas for photographers, that is the snake side OOB and the dorito side OOB areas. the lighting is normally extremely harsh its a very high intensity game, you dont really have the opportunity to think about every shot before you take it, mostly act on instinct. there IS paint flying at you all the time the out of bounds area is maybe a foot wide on some fields, to 3-4 feet wide on others. anyway enough background if you want to know more you can always google it to understand.
here are a few of my favorites, ill post NEXL first, then NEPL after (not all the pictures you see in the album i really like, but i had to put them in there for the teams that wanted them...its hard to make interesting pictures with teams that are boring)

Washington • A federal board investigation into the 2010 BP oil spill concludes that a last-ditch safety device on the underwater well had multiple failures, wasn't tested properly and still poses a risk for many rigs drilling today.
The report issued Thursday by the U.S. Chemical Safety Board zeroes in on what went wrong with the blowout preventer and blames bad management and operations. They found faulty wiring in two places, a dead battery and a bent pipe in the hulking device. And that, they said, led to the dumping of 172 million gallons of oil into the Gulf of Mexico and the nation's worst offshore oil disaster.

Submitted to: Clean Water Clean Environment 21st Century Conference Proceedings
Publication Type: Proceedings
Publication Acceptance Date: 9/22/1994
Publication Date: N/A
Citation: N/A Interpretive Summary: To develop better understanding of how water and pesticide applications can be controlled to reduce pesticide transport to groundwater, pesticide transport studies were coupled with water management practices to evaluate the effectiveness of water application methods in reducing pesticide transport in two large scale field experiments.
Technical Abstract: The effect of different irrigation management systems on pesticide transport toward groundwater was evaluated under field conditions. In Experiment 1, during a 2-year period, soil profile and shallow groundwater samples were analyzed for pesticides applied to cotton grown with four irrigation systems, i.e., subsurface drip (SSD), low-energy yision application (LEPA), conventional, and improved furrow. There was no apparent difference in soil distribution of pesticide residues below the 20-inch depth among the four irrigation treatments, although some shallow groundwater samples were found to contain pesticides with concentration somewhat higher in the existing and improved furrows than in LEPA or SSD fields. In Experiment 2 at Shafter, California, on a sandy loam soil, high concentrations of pesticides were observed in the surface soil of SSD plots than in furrow irrigated ones, but no residues were found below 20-inch depth in either irrigation system. The effect of injecting polyacrylamide at 5-10 ppm in irrigation water on sediment and pesticide load in runoff water was evaluated. The polymer application significantly reduced the sediment load and kelthane concentrations in runoff from a furrow irrigated lima bean field..

For about the last 15 years or so, everyone and their mother has been wondering when the Bills would find the next Jim Kelly? The QB position has been a black hole of futility since #12 hung up his uniform, and fans have grown tired of waiting for the next one. For pretty much the same time frame, I've been wondering where the next Bruce Smith is. Sure, Smith was here for 3 years after Kelly retired, but Smith was pretty much a shell of his former self during those years. And since he left, the Bills pass rush has been pretty anemic.
The only time they seemed to be able to get a pass rush was during Gregg Williams heyday, when he would send in the kitchen sink to blitz the opposing QBs. Forget Jauron's cover 2 defense. The Bills haven't been able to get a pass rush with their front four since the days of Bryce Paup and Smith.
- Since 2007, the Bills have ranked 29th, 28th, 18th (4-way tie), 27th, and 27th (4-way tie) in sacks. Put it together and the Bills have had the least amount of sacks in the league during that time.
- Also during that time span, the Bills have given up 23 points or more, 42 times out of 80 games.
- The last time the Bills were ranked in the top 10 in defense was in 2004. Since then, 28 teams have been able to crack the top 10 (excluding: Bills, Rams, Lions, and Chiefs).
- The Bills gave up over 400 yards in offense in 8 games last season.
- Take out the 14 sacks they got against Denver/Washington and the Bills only had 15 sacks in 14 games.
Not good. Not good at all.
I have a lot of memories of sitting at McFaddens with my friend Scott, who would turn to me and say "No pressure" while rolling his eyes when Brady, Sanchez or Rivers would eat our secondary alive. Seriously, it was a weekly ritual. Different players or different rushers, same results. Since 2001, only one player has been able to get more than 10 sacks a year for the Bills and that was Aaron Schobel (4 times). Since 2007, the Bills LBs have accounted for 32 sacks. How bad is that? The Steelers LBs had 27 sacks...just in 2010. Any way you slice it, Bruce Smith and Cornelius Bennett are rolling over in their graves.
The NFL is a passing league and because of that, you need guys who are going to pressure the QB. Last year, 6 of the top 10 defenses in sacks went onto the playoffs. You know how many of the top 10 passing teams went to the playoffs? 7. Not that big of a difference. In 2010, the top two teams in sacks, Steelers and Packers, went to the Super Bowl. If you are good at one or the other, you will be successful. This is why the Bills signed Mario Williams and Mark Anderson. Amazingly, they are one of three NFL teams (Giants and Lions) that have three players on their roster with 10 sacks or more in a season (Williams, Merriman and Anderson).
By my count, the Bills have 10 defensive linemen on their roster who could contribute. They are worth almost 200-million bucks in contracts.
- Chris Kelsay
- Alex Carrington
- Torell Troup
- Marcell Dareus
- Kyle Williams
- Spencer Johnson
- Dwan Edwards
- Mario Williams
- Mark Anderson
- Shawne Merriman
10 players, four positions. That's a lot of bodies and not enough spots. Still, it is a nice problem to have in comparison to other problems the Bills defense has had over the years.
Who benefits most because of #94?
When Bruce Smith played in Buffalo for 15 years, he pretty much made Phil Hansen. Hansen, who will never be confused with being an all-pro, ranks 3rd all-time in sacks for the franchise (61.5). He may as well thank Bruce Smith for about 50 of those. When Smith was in his prime, so was Hansen. From 1992-1997, Hansen had 41 sacks. From 1998-2001, Hasen's sack total fell to 18.5. That's what you want out of your star DE, you want him to be able to make the guys around him better.
Obviously, we know what Mario Williams brings to the table. He's the outside rusher the Bills have been lacking forever. Spencer Johnson and Arthur Moats coming off the edge last year was an epic disaster. What makes this move even better is what it will do for the other guys on the DL. Who are you going to double? Mario, Kyle, Marcell? Someone is going to be free. I think Dareus will be loving life more than anyone else on the line. I think #99 had a solid rookie year, especially when you consider he did it with pretty much spare parts around him at different points. His 5.5 sacks were the most by a Bills rookie since Schobel in 2001. He has the talent to dominate the line of scrimmage. I'd give some love to Kyle Williams, but he's coming off a major injury. Chris Kelsay is also a consideration, but I've just never been a fan of his game. He played with Schobel over the years and it's not like he benefited all that much from it.
Wannstedt factor
As I've written in the past, Wannstedt knows a thing or two about defenses. In Dallas, Chicago, and Miami, Wannstedt's defenses were ranked in the top 12 eleven times, and never less than 20th overall. Judging by what he did in Dallas, Miami, and Chicago, Wannstedt is a big believer in having 8 men in the box, relying on his defensive line to put pressure on the QB, and having his corners be aggressive in bump and run coverage. He wants his defensive linemen to be quick. "Speed, speed, speed"...just like Mickey would yell during Rocky II's training montage. Remember the times his mentor, Jimmy Johnson, would preach about speed? That's what Wanny wants. When the Bills were getting their asses handed to them by the Cowboys (Crying), Big D' was big on having a defensive line rotation. Like the Bills, they had a rotation of 8-10 defensive linemen who would come in and out on any given possession. Sadly, I remember those d-lines.
Charles Haley was probably the best player on the d-line, as he would come off the edge with a burst of speed and was the Cowboys main pass rusher. He'd probably be our version of Mario Williams. Russell Maryland, Jimmy Jones, Tony Cassilas and Leon Lett rotated as defensive tackles. Maryland was the most talented of the foursome, as he was the 1st overall pick in the '91 NFL Draft. He was mostly known for his speed, but wasn't exactly the biggest DT you'd want. So no, he's not Marcell Dareus, who is a lot bigger. I'd say Lett was probably a lot more like Darues. Lett had the size and speed to be the best DT in the NFL. He had some issues, but by 1995, the dude was an All-Pro. Overall, the DTs for the Cowboys were faster than the Bills but not as big.
Who plays when?
I have absolutely no idea how the Bills plan on rotating their guys. If the Bills are facing a 3rd and long, who is rushing the QB? Normally, you'd like your best pass rushers on the field for this down. If we go by spring practices, the starting lineup was Mario-Kyle-Dareus-Anderson. Who would you take out on 3rd down? I would say maybe Kyle Williams because he's coming off a serious injury, but really, he can still go after the QB pretty well when at 100%. You could try lining Mario inside and then maybe bring in Shawne Merriman, but that would be counterproductive because Williams isn't big enough to take on guards or centers and you want him coming off the edge. I can definitely see a situation where Kelsay and Anderson switch up. Anderson is a pass rush specialist while Kelsay is better at playing the run. I can see Troup, if he's healthy, playing on 3rd and short or goal line defense. As for Carrington, Edwards, and Johnson...um...help? All three are better suited at playing the run and aren't exactly known for going after the QB. You aren't taking K. Williams or Dareus out for those three, right? Honestly, the more I think about it, maybe they won't rotate as much. I mean, they didn't really rotate Jason Taylor or Tim Bowens in Miami, did they?
Chopping block
I love depth, but I can't see the Bills keeping all 10 of these guys. I think Merriman is safe because the Bills pretty much paid for most of his salary. Of course, if he gets injured during the preseason or training camp, all bets are off. Dwan Edwards is my choice to get sent packing. He's making 3.8 million bucks this year and that's just too much for a guy who is coming off the bench to make, especially since his forte is playing against the run. Normally, you'd like your bench guys to be able to rush the passer on 3rd down, and Dwan hasn't really been able to get after the QB since he's been here. Could it change with a more staked defensive line? Of course. But for 4 million bucks? I think you can find someone else. The same goes for Spencer Johnson, who is making 3 million a year and doesn't really bring much to the table besides the (awful) experience of playing OLB. Also going against him is that he wasn't picked by Nix/Gailey while Edwards was. The only way either guy stays IMO is if Troup and Carrington bomb out in training camp.
Obviously, we know that the 2nd and 3rd picks made by Nix have been major disappointments, but they have being cheap and being young on their side. To me, Troup is a bigger concern because he can't even get on the field. Troup missed 10 games last year because of a back injury and I can't recall him ever making a play since being here. When you hear him talk about how tough it was to get out of bed because of injuries, that becomes a major red flag. Even if he evolves, it is not like he'll be playing much cause Dareus and Williams are in front of him. As far as giving up on draft picks, keep in mind this is the same regime that cut Aaron Maybin and James Hardy after their 2nd years. As for Chris Kelsay, he has nude pictures of something bad that went down at Ralph Wilson Stadium in 2003 and has been guaranteed a roster spot forever as long as he keeps quiet. Kidding...maybe?
Injury concerns?
The Bills had 18 players on IR last year and three of them are from the defensive line (Kyle Williams, Troup and Merriman). Add Mario Williams to the list as well since his season was cut short after 5 games in Houston. Chris Kelsay, who is normally an ironman for this defense, missed four games last year. If you goto 2010, Dwan Edwards finished the season on IR as well. Overall, the Bills 10-man rotation have missed a combined 62 games since the start of 2010. Hmmm..Maybe they will keep everyone after all. Only Marcell Dareus hasn't missed a game on the Bills defensive line depth chart.
Merriman healthy??? Maybe?
This is when preseason hype gets to you. After last year, I was pretty much done with Merriman, but once you start hearing the interviews about how he's the healthiest he's ever been and you see the workout clips, you start getting trapped. "Hmmmm...maybe...just maybe...He'll get back to his dominate self." Of course, I wouldn't bet on it, as he's already missing practice. But let's just say that Mr. Miyagi did the same treatment he did to Daniel Larusso's leg in Karate Kid Part I to get his achilles back into shape. Look out. You are talking about Merriman and Williams coming off the edges. Of course, will he last? Him playing DE won't help him when it comes to the ache and pains of his achilles tendon. You will get beat up more when you are in a 3-point stance than when you are standing up as an OLB. Look for Merriman to play like 20 snaps a game and unlike last year, the Bills aren't going to be counting on him to be their speed rusher because they already have Williams and Anderson, which means, you don't have to crowbar #56 into the lineup as much if he's not 100%.
Final word:
It all starts up front. Yes, standard cliche, but it is completely true. If you get pressure on the QB or penetration through the line of scrimmage to stop the running game, it will make your LBs and secondary that much better. Simple as that or see the Giants success on defense. If healthy, the Bills defensive line should be able to get a constant pass rush with 4-men rushing the QB. That means no blitzing, meaning the secondary won't be in a position to get toast. If Mario Williams goes down, we are screwed. He will be the straw that stirs the defensive line drink. This defense has the capabilities of being a top 10 unit if healthy. They have more talented players on their defensive line than any other team in the division. If you wanna stop Tom Brady, you need to copy what the Giants did and be able to rush four guys. This is the blueprint the Bills hope to adapt. This needs to be a unit that will actually win games for the team. No more holding leads or praying we are playing some of those classic Browns teams or that Fitz will save our lives. They gotta dominate because their salary says so.

Where are some good places to take pups/dogs around Ottawa?
We have been to some kid parks and let him run around in his long lead while the girls were playing.
Any other good places for socialization ?

How old is your dog? Any "issues"?
What part of the city are you in? Do you have a car? Is recall good?
I live in Ottawa, so before I give you all kinds of info, need more info!!!
I go to TONS of places with Kyleigh ... but her recall is perfect and she's never on leash!
If your dog likes to swim, you could go to Lemieux Island which is off of the Parkway. You'd go over the bridge to the water filtration plant. There's parking there, an area to run around, and the dogs have easy access into the river.
I'm not sure if you're familiar with the two major dog parks around here or if you're even a fan of dog parks. The two big ones consist of various walking trails through NCC land. Bruce Pitt is in the West end on Cedarview. It's my favourite one because you can avoid the dog park chaos by taking some of the smaller less traveled paths. In the East end, there's Conroy Pitt which also consists of various walking trails.
How old is your dog? As Shade and Ky mentioned, the dog parks might be a bit hectic for a young pup although I think you can avoid the chaos a bit as I mentioned with the less populated trails.
Conroy Pit and Bruce Pit are great but might be a little busy for a young puppy. Start with some place like Petsmart where all dogs are leashed and work up from there, look online for on and offleash parks in your area. Ottawa has several of each, some better then others. :) It's probably best to scope them out beforehand before taking Draven with you
For non-specific set up play dates with suitable dogs either with family or friends, see if a nearby training centre has a socialization group, or even go back to your breeder for playtimes if they'll allow it :)
He is 4 months old. We are 20 mins outside of Ottawa (east end).
We are working on recall but mostly walking anywhere its leash.
We have gone back to the breeder, she is 45mins from us. Anka (his sister) and Draven had a blast. Also Trent's cousin has one of his sisters but we are working on their play together. Anka and Draven played a lot better together then Skylar and Draven.

Conroy Pit is great for a dog park, he's a puppy so just keep an eye out ... but it's a decent size and there's trail to stay away from the people that just stand there.
There's some trails along Anderson Road that are great. Once you get further out you could drop the leash and let him run.
If you don't mind a long drive ... there's a place in Stittsville, another one in Richmond, and yet another place in Kanata that are all hiking / walking trails.
PM me if you want the exact directions ...
The canal has great paths to walk along, the Gatineaus have some beautiful hiking trails too!

We did go to a dog park in Morrisburg when it was rainy and cold. We were the only ones there so we let him off lead and he had blast running around. Attachment 22897

Robin and Dennis's Wedding
"Mark Emerson is an amazing photographer, he and his wife Amy make an exceptional team! Mark scouted the grounds the day before our wedding and found some absolutely breathtaking backdrops for our photos. His style and artistic eye are second to none. We were absolutely amazed when we saw the final result and couldn't be happier! Mark was easy to work with and made sure to ask what we wanted, he didn't miss a beat, not even when our flower girl plopped down in the middle of the aisle to pick up the petals which she dropped, mark took a commando dive onto the ground to capture the moment, which made for the most adorable picture ever! We will use him again to capture more of life's special moments! I would recommend him to anyone over and over again!"

Does this sound like your topic?

It sounds like a simple question, easy enough to answer. Unfortunately, this question will get you nowhere fast (unless you like getting sweet talked by opportunistic attorneys who are more interested in making a buck than solving your problems). To get a helpful answer, ask whether you SHOULD sue.
Most people roll over and give the bank everything they want after being served with a foreclosure complaint. With the right strategy, and the right attorney, you can realistically stay in your home months, even years longer than you might think.

Expanding RWJF's and Pew's Health Impact Project to advance the use and accelerate policy-makers' awareness of health impact assessments
This funding will advance efforts of the Health Impact Project to increase awareness of and support for the use of health impact assessment (HIA) by federal, state and local policy-makers. The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and Pew Charitable Trusts collaborated to establish the Health Impact Project in 2009 to promote HIA in the United States. This grant supports: (1) up to eight competitively selected demonstration projects; (2) five strategically selected demonstration projects on topics not previously addressed by HIA in the United States; (3) efforts to institutionalize the use of HIA in the programs or policies of at least two federal agencies; and (4) training, mentoring and technical assistance for demonstration-project grantees. These efforts will complement the Health Impact Project's ongoing work, which includes: (1) coordinating and promoting efforts to increase the use of HIA; (2) completing HIAs of two federal policies outside the traditional health sectors; (3) conducting and disseminating a comprehensive review of laws and regulations that might offer support for integrating health into decision-making activities and policies; and (4) producing other tools and resources to advance the practice and adoption of HIA.

Report/Gallery: Munoz shocked in Albuquerque
Ringside report by Gerardo Martinez
Photos by Jose Leon Castillo III
The idiom that states you can't teach an old dog new tricks seems fitting with the result of Saturday night's main event in the Johhny Tapia Presents card at the Crowne Plaza Hotel. El Paso's Bernardo "Tuff Enough" Guereca (17-17-1, 4 KO's) had the same tricks up his sleeve he's had for the last few years in giving a slew of New Mexico and Colorado fighters tough fights. "Hurricane" Hector Muñoz got caught up in one of those old tricks and history repeated itself in the same city, but different venue, when Guereca sneaked a powerful left uppercut to the chin of Muñoz, dropping him in the center of the ring. Muñoz was able to stand up on spaghetti legs and claim he was good to go, but experienced referee Rocky Burke knew better and called a halt to the bout at 2:59 of the first round . . .

World of Tan 9 - Animals
Stage: 2
Challenge Level:
Children you may like to...
begin a collection of different sets of things that only weigh 150 grams (like the prawn crackers ?). How many paper clips weigh 150 grams, how many felt pens? How many multi-link cubes?

My human has been posted up North (in Northern QC) and she opted to take me with her instead of leaving me with her mother. The 12 hour ride was torture, I was stashed on the floor of the truck in my humans footspace between eggs, boots, sleeping bags and backpacks. There were four humans and me in the truck, it was very squishy but my human shared the bench with me for half the ride so it was okay. The worst part was when they all went in to eat and I had to stay and guard the eggs and stuff. I was /not/ happy at all. Other than that I was a very good boy though, I didn't complain the whole time, and I didn't growl at the men once, I even let them all pat me without fuss. My human is very happy with my progress (I used to be very vocal about my hate of men, but now I just take it all in stride).
We arrived at 2am last night and boy was I happy to get out and run around! We will be here for three months. I don't like it as much as home but I think I'll get used to it rather quickly.
I disobeyed the "Ven Aqui" (stop what you are doing and come here right now) command for the first time in my life. I have always had an AMAZING recall no matter what the situation (chasing cats, playing with other dogs, any distraction etc), but today I ignored my human's call and went crashing through the ice 12 feet away from the edge as a result. I was terrorized! I couldn't get out no matter how much I tried and my human, as crazy as she is, threw her 700$ camera and its pack into the snow and belly dived unto the ice polar bear style to reach me. Though the ice was shifting under her, she made it over to me, grabbed my collar and hauled me out of the hole onto the ice where we both made our way back to solid ground. I'm all wet and tired but I'm okay, and I think I will think twice about disobedience next time... My human was so scared and so was I.
It is safe to say that I am 100% all tired out. When my human and I set out on our daily walk neither of us knew how far we'd get. We just walked and rand and walked though the forest, random motorbike trails, the sandpit and ended up in a neighbourhood I'd never been to before. We met some people my human knew and they talked for a while, I wanted to play with the little girl (she is 5 human years I think) but my human wouldn't let me since when I am excited I tend to bodyslam into people and little kids really don't have much balance... so I settled for covering her face in kisses instead. After that it started getting dark out and my human took me to a kiddie part there was no one there so it made a great training area. There was also a little barking dog tied nearby and a Labrador that was running loose. I was very good at ignoring both of them and that made my human so proud. I also leaned to climb up slides and slide down them, it was a lot of fun. I got to sit on my humans lap too on the swing (I so did not want to be in a down stay beside the swings and miss all the fun!). It was much easier to stay on when I was smaller though... Anyways, I am going to have a nap now...

Online discount pharmacies are a boon for many who want to make the best use of internet and it is comforts. Facilitating this accessibility to modern day drugs are the full time career of several

graduates having a degree in pharmacy. The jury inside court case found Walgreens in the wrong, and awarded family members 21 million dollars, though the pharmacist responsible for that error still works at the nearby Walgreens, which is the pharmacy manager. They work much like other personal savings accounts. Shopping for essential medicines has turned into a lot easier should you go through online pharmacy reviews when you make your purchase.
For example, survival rate on developing CML in the 60s was approximately three to five years but has increased to 90% in the years. An example which could raise a red light is if you would see @Brighthub_CH tweeting about weight-loss, then a account has probably been compromised.

This article explains the best way to recognize an internet health fraud or medical scam. Studying for this Ex - CPT exam is possible by getting the "National Pharmacy Technician Training Program" study guide. " It is very important to note that a Doctor of Pharmacy Degree is different than obtaining a Ph. Identifying the various faulty factors in prescribing, dispensing and administration of medication may help in reduction with this dangerous medical care crime. If you are looking for a fast-paced career with lots of responsibilities, consider becoming a pharmacy technician.
Online pharmacy is the best option for older folks and physically disabled persons. Look carefully with the plant you intend to pick and you also will see where the energy is highest; permitted this to guide your harvesting. It is pretty obvious medical treatments play an important role in preventing SREs along with other complications. Other garden produce loaded with vitamin C includes blackcurrants, peppers and strawberries. It may be important to fully understand each new drug before you take it also to know what interactions usually are not reccommended.
THey call themselves the "#1 online drug company" inside their banner, but I can advise you, from several years of tracking these crooks, they are anything BUT that. People employing a gift shop or boutique are looking to purchase unique, elite, eclectic or fashionable gifts. Sources : Personal experience with these products Extensive shopping experience at CVS. For instance, you can utilize low estrogen birth control pills, like Alesse, Fe, Yasmin, Loestrin yet others available with any discount pharmacy or women's online pharmacy. Of course, the exam may be quite challenging, so you are going to should prepare.

Most NT files are stripped. This means that trying to disassemble them is a bit annoying because there are no symbols available. Checked builds of NT came with the symbol files (e.g. support/debug/ppc/symbols/exe/ntoskrnl.dbg for ntoskrnl.exe), but tools like Microsoft's dumpbin or OpenWatcom's wdis don't use them.
Now there's https://github.com/andreiw/dbgsplice to add the COFF symbol table back!
Sadly, the OpenWatcom analogue is quite buggy, so it's hard to suggest. It was a capable disassembler around setupldr and veneer.exe, but it gets horribly confused with complicated section layouts.
Of course the DBG files contain quite a bit more info (and we can do a lot more with the aux COFF syms too for annotating code than dumpbin suggests).

Easy creation of proxy DLL pragmas
Converting dumpbin DLL exports information to MSVC linker pragmas
Yes, a bit of a weird request. But imagine you want to create a dummy DLL that forwards all the existing symbols of another DLL. Of course you're not going to do it by hand.
You have dumpbin output that looks like:
And you want:
I'm not an awk expert, but this works, except the dumpbin I ran on WIndows and awk I ran on OS X, hahah. But you get the gist...

dumpbin /exports C:\winnt\system32\ntdll.dll | awk 'NR > 19 && $3 != "" { printf "#pragma comment(linker, \"/export:%s=ntdll.%s\")\n", $3, $3 }'Might have to tweak number of lines to skip, depending on your tools. I'm on MSVC 4.0 (hello '90s!).

64-bit ARM OS/Kernel/Systems Development Demo on an nVidia Shield TV (Tegra X1)
64-bit ARM OS/Kernel/Systems Development on an nVidia Shield TV (Tegra X1)The Shield TV is based on the 64-bit nVidia X1 chip. Unlike the K1, this is actually a Cortex-A57 based design, instead of being based on the nVidia "Denver" design. That by itself is kind of interesting already. The Shield TV was available much much earlier than the X1-based nVidia development board (Jetson TX1, you can even buy it on Amazon), and costs about a third of the TX1. The Shield TV allows performing an unlock via "fastboot oem unlock", allowing custom OS images to be booted. Unlike the TX1, you don't get a UART (and I haven't found the UART pads yet, either).
What this ishttps://github.com/andreiw/shieldTV_demo
This is a small demo, demonstrating how to build and boot arbitrary code on your Tegra Shield TV. Unlike the previous Tegra K1 demo, you get EL2 (hypervisor mode!).
- A Shield TV, unlocked. Search Youtube for walkthroughs.
- Shield OS version >= 1.3.
- GNU Make.
- An AArch64 GNU toolchain.
- ADB/Fastboot tools.
- Bootimg tools (https://github.com/pbatard/bootimg-tools), built and somewhere in your path.
- An HDMI-capable screen. Note, HDMI, not DVI-HDMI adapter. You want the firmware to configure the screen into 1920x1080 mode, otherwise you'll be in 640x480 and we don't want that...
How to build
$ CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- make...should yield 'shieldTV_demo'.
How to boot
- Connect the Shield TV a USB cable to your dev workstation.
- Reboot device via:
$ adb reboot-bootloader...you should now see the nVidia splash screen, followed by the boot menu.
- If OS is 1.3, you can simply:
$ fastboot boot shieldTV_demo
- If OS is 1.4 or 2.1, you will need to:
$ fastboot flash recovery shieldTV_demo...and then boot the "recovery kernel" by following instructions on screen.
Let me know if it's interesting to see the MMU setup code.
Final thoughtsThe Shield TV is a better deal than the TX1 for the average hobbyist, even with the missing UART. For the price being sold the TX1 should come with a decent amount of RAM, not 1GB more than the Shield TV. nVidia...are you listening? Uncripple your firmware so booting custom images is not a song-and-dance (you broke it in 1.4!) and at least TELL us where the UART pads are on the motherboard. If you're really cool put together an "official" Ubuntu image that runs on the TX1 and the Shield (and fix SCR_EL3.HCE, too).

Porting TianoCore to a new architecture
"UEFI" on...?This article is the first in a series of posts touching on the general process of bringing up TianoCore EDK2 on an otherwise unsupported architecture. Maybe you want to support UEFI for your CPU architecture, or simply have a reasonable firmware environment. In either case, because UEFI is not actually defined for your architecture, you're going to have to do a bit more work than your typical platform bring-up. By the time you're done, you could become a perfect addition to the UEFI forum and its specification committees...yeah!
This blog post and the ones following it continually refer to the ongoing PPC64LE Tiano port I am working on, available at https://github.com/andreiw/ppc64le-edk2/. Since everyone can read the fine code, this document mostly highlights the various steps performed throughout the commits. The git repo isn't perfect, though. Some changes ended up evolving over a few commits while I ironed things out and brought in more code. Hopefully I don't miss mentioning anything important.
Tiano is Intel's open-source (BSD-licensed) implementation of the UEFI specification. EDK2 is the second and current iteration of the implementation.
UEFI officially is supported on IA32, X64, IPF, ARM and AARCH64 architectures, the EDK2 has CPU support code for the x86 and ARM variants. There's a MIPS EDK1 port floating about, and now two PPC64LE OpenPower EDK2 ports, one of which ended up fueling this article...
I'm not going to focus on the architecture of either UEFI or Tiano. Good books have been written on the subject. Here's some tl;dr material, though, for the hopelessly impatient:
- http://uefi.org/learning_center/papers
- http://www.uefi.org/sites/default/files/resources/UEFI%202_5.pdf
- https://github.com/tianocore/tianocore.github.io/wiki/EDK-II-white-papers
- https://github.com/tianocore/tianocore.github.io/wiki/EDK-II-User-Documentation
- http://tianocore.sourceforge.net/wiki/PI_Boot_Flow
At least read the User Documentation and glance at the boot flow diagram. You should be now able to fetch, build and boot Tiano Core using the emulation package and have a rough understanding of what it takes to get a build going via Conf/target.txt and Conf/tools_def.txt.
Your Target
Your target is a 32-bit or 64-bit little-endian chip. I suppose big-endian is doable, but none of the Tiano code is endian safe and UEFI is strictly little-endian.
Development Environment
This assumes that you are doing development on Linux and are using and ELF toolchain and GCC compilers. You are going to need:
- A compiler. https://www.kernel.org/pub/tools/crosstool/ is a good source.
- A simulator, virtual machine or target with some monitor environment to upload and run code from RAM.
Basic Project Setup
Pick a short identifier for your architecture. Pick a name that's unused - for the Power8 port I picked PPC64. This tag will be used with the Tiano build scripts. The next step is to create a couple of Pkg directories that will contain our stuff. In my PPC64 port I initially went with a single-package solution, but I should be working on splitting it up into the more conventional layout, where platform-independent portions are in PPC64Pkg and platform-dependent parts (including build scripts for building for actual boards) are in PPC64PlatformPkg. You can refer to this commit as an example for the minimum required to build a dummy EFI application that does nothing.
If our architecture was supported, then running a similar build command for your package would succeed.
build -p YourArchPlatformPkg/YourArchPlatformPkg.dsc
Build Infrastructure
The next step is to enable the build infrastructure and scripts to understand your architecture identifier. Here's a list of files I had to modify - this is all stuff under BaseTools/Source/Python and the changes are incredibly mechanical.
- Common/DataType.py
- Common/EdkIIWorkspaceBuild.py
- Common/FdfParserLite.py
- Common/MigrationUtilities.py
- CommonDataClass/CommonClass.py
- CommonDataClass/ModuleClass.py
- CommonDataClass/PlatformClass.py
- GenFds/FdfParser.py
- GenFds/FfsInfStatement.py
- GenFds/GenFds.py
- TargetTool/TargetTool.py
- build/build.py
See https://github.com/andreiw/ppc64le-edk2/commit/2fef3116f0c732036588af12cd409f8f3d96436b for my PPC64 implementation.
Build tools
UEFI executables are PE/COFF files. Since we are building on Linux, EDK2 uses a workflow where ELF artifacts produced by the cross-compiler are converted into PE32/PE32+ files with the GenFw tool. The PE/COFF artifacts are then wrapped into an FFS object and assembled into what is known as an FV ("firmware volume"). Multiple FVs are put into an FD. The FV is really a flat file system that uses GUIDs for everything and can store other types of objects as well. You could also generate what is known as a TE (terse executable), but it's basically a cut down version of COFF FWIW.
Tiano deals with several kinds of executables. The UEFI runtime (DXE core, UEFI drivers, and so on) are relocated as they are loaded, while the code that runs prior to the UEFI runtime itself is XIP (execute-in-place) and is thus pre-relocated to fixed addresses by the tool constructing the FV. The point behind this being that such pre-UEFI code (which is the SEC and PEI phases for Tiano), is run in an environment before the DRAM is available.
Thus we need to enable GenFw to create PE/COFF executables from ELF for our architecture. This ties into the compiler options we're going to use, which is not something we've addressed yet. It helps to understand that a PE/COFF file is basically a position-independent executable. Although there is "preferred linking address" that all symbols are relocated against, the PE/COFF image contains a sufficient amount of relocation information, known as "base relocations", to allow loading at any address. So it would appear, that the easiest approach is to generate a position-independent ET_DYN ELF executable (with the -pie flag to the linker) and then focus on converting the output to COFF. This is the approach I highly suggest adopting. You will only have to deal with a single relocation type (R_PPC64_RELATIVE in my case) that will map naturally to either the 64-bit or the 32-bit COFF base relocation type, depending on the bit width of your architecture.
Other approaches are possible, such as embedding all relocations with the --emit-relocs linker flag and dealing with the entire soup of crazy relocs later, but the success of this approach is highly dependent on the architecture and ABI. It may be impossible to convert to PE/COFF due to a mismatch between ELF and COFF base relocs and ABI issues. When first working on the PPC64 port, I first followed the AArch64 approach that did just this, and ended up being forced to use the older (and not really meant for LE) ELFv1 ABI. Don't do it.
Note that depending on the ABI, you may have to do a bit of tool work. I am guessing this was the reason why the AArch64 port never adopted using PIE ELF binaries. Fortunately, you should be able to follow along my changes to Elf64Convert.c. You may also have to make changes to the base linker script used with the GNU toolchains.
Don't forget that you will need to manually rebuild the BaseTools if you make any changes!
make -C BaseTools
At this point we can go back and figure out the compile options. This is the BaseTools/Conf/tools_def.template file, that is then copied to Conf/ by edksetup.sh on freshly checked-out trees. The compiler options heavily depend on your architecture, of course, but generally speaking:
- build on top of definitions made for new architectures like AArch64, because there's simply less of them in this file to wrap your mind around
- consider the PPC64 definitions in my tree
- -pie, unless position-independent executables don't work for you for some reason
- large model
- soft float (you can always move to hard float later if that rocks your boat, but it's just more CPU state to wrap your head around)
- PECOFF_HEADER_SIZE=0x228 for 64-bit chips, 0x220 for 32-bit ones
To be continued.

Toying around with LE PowerPC64 via the PowerNV QEMU
I've validated that my ppc64le_hello example runs on top of BenH's PowerNV QEMU tree. Runs really snappy!
The only thing that doesn't work is mixed page-size segment support (MPSS, like 16MB in a 4K segment). QEMU does not support MPSS at the moment. Also, QEMU does not implement any of the IBM simulator's crazy Mambo calls.

Toying around with LE PowerPC64 via the Power8 simulator
ppc64le_hello is simple example of what it takes to write stand-alone (that is, system or OS) code that runs in Little-Endian and Hypervisor modes on the latest OpenPOWER/Power8 chips. Of course, I don't have a spare $3k to get one of these nice Tyan reference systems, but IBM does have a free, albeit glacially slow and non-OSS, POWER8 Functional Simulator.
What you get is a simple payload you can boot via skiboot, or another OPAL-compatible firmware. Features, in no particular order:
What you get is a simple payload you can boot via skiboot, or another OPAL-compatible firmware. Features, in no particular order:
- 64-bit real-mode HV LE operation.
- logging via sim inteface (mambo_write).
- logging via OPAL firmware (opal_write).
- calling C code, stack/BSS/linkage setup/TOC.
- calling BE code from LE.
- FDT parsing, dumping FDT.
- Taking and returning from exceptions, handling unrecoverable/nested exceptions.
- Timebase (i.e. the "timestamp counter"), decrementer and hypervisor decrementer manipulation with some basic timer support (done for periodic callbacks into OPAL).
- Running at HV alias addresses (loaded at 0x00000000200XXXXX, linked at 0x80000000200XXXXX). The idea being that the code will access physical RAM and its own data structures solely using the HV addresses.
- SLB setup: demonstrates 1T segments with 4K base page and 16M base page size. One segment (slot = 0) is used to back the HV alias addresses with 16M pages. Another segment maps EA to VA 1:1 using 4K pages.
- Very basic HTAB setup. Mapping and unmapping for pages in the 4K and 16M segments, supporting MPSS (16M pages in the 4K segment). No secondary PTEG. No eviction support. Not SMP safe. Any access within the HV alias addresses get mapped in. Any faults to other unmapped locations are crashes, as addresses below 0x8000000000000000 should only be explicit maps.
- Taking exception vectors with MMU on at the alternate vector location (AIL) 0xc000000000004000.
- Running unpriviledged code.

DOES> in Jonesforth
Jonesforth 47 quoth:
Thankfully, that's not true. The following is a tad AArch32-specific, given that I am playing with pijFORTHos (https://github.com/organix/pijFORTHos), but the principle remains the same. Let's first look at how DOES> gets used.
Finally, in both cases the CREATE...DOES> word is indistinguishable from a CREATE...;CODE word, and the created word is indistinguishable from a word created by a CREATE...;CODE word.
P.S. Defining constants is a classical example of using DOES>, but a bit silly when applied to Jonesforth, where it's an intrinsic. It's an intrinsic so that certain compile-time constants, known only at assembler time, can be exposed to the Forth prelude and beyond. The other classical example of DOES> is struct-like definitions.
P.P.S. You might be wondering how I'm SEEing into code words, as neither Jonesforth nor pijFORTHos support it. I guess I'll blog about that next real soon whenever... The ( CODEWORD XXX ) business here shows the "code word" pointed to by the CFA, which is necessarily not DOCOL (otherwise it would be a regular colon definition, not CODE). The ( CODEWORD word+offset ) notation tells you that the machine words pointed to by the CFA are part of a different word. Native (jonesforth.s-defined) intrinsics would decompile as something like:
NOTES ---------------------------------------------------------------------- DOES> isn't possible to implement with this FORTH because we don't have a separate data pointer.
Thankfully, that's not true. The following is a tad AArch32-specific, given that I am playing with pijFORTHos (https://github.com/organix/pijFORTHos), but the principle remains the same. Let's first look at how DOES> gets used.
: MKCON WORD CREATE 0 , , DOES> @ ;This creates a word MKCON, that when invoked like:
1337 MKCON PUSH1337...creates a new word PUSH1337 that will behave, as if it were defined as:
: PUSH1337 1337 ;Recall the CREATE...;CODE example. DOES> is very similar to ;CODE, except you want Forth words, not native machine words invoked. In ;CODE, the native machine words are embedded in the word using CREATE...;CODE, and in CREATE...DOES> it will be Forth words instead. So if we had no DOES> word, we could write something like:
: MKCON WORD CREATE 0 , , ;CODE $DODOES @ ;...where $DODOES is the machine code generator word that creates the magic we've yet to figure out. $DODOES needs to behave like a mix between DOCOL and NEXT, that is adjusting FIP (the indirect threaded code instruction pointer, pointing to the next word to execute) to point past $DODOES to the @ word. The DFA of the CREATEd word (i.e. PUSH1337) is put on the stack, so @ can read the constant (1337) out. This means the simplest CREATE...DOES> example is:
: DUMMY WORD CREATE 0 , DOES> DROP ; DUMMY ADUMMY...because we need to clean up the DFA for ADUMMY that is pushed on its invocation. Anyway, we could thus define DOES> like:
: DOES> IMMEDIATE ' (;CODE) , [COMPILE] $DODOES ;Let's look at two ways of implementing $DODOES. Way 1 - fully inline. The address of the Forth words (the new FIP) is calculated by skipping past the bits emitted by $DODOES.
.macro COMPILE_INSN, insn:vararg .int LIT \insn .int COMMA .endm .macro NEXT_BODY, wrap_insn:vararg= \wrap_insn ldr r0, [FIP], #4 \wrap_insn ldr r1, [r0] \wrap_insn bx r1 .endm @ @ A CREATE...DOES> word is basically a special CREATE...;CODE @ word, where the forth words follow $DODOES. $DODOES thus @ adjusts FIP to point right past $DODOES and does NEXT. @ @ You can think of this as a special DOCOL that sets FIP to a @ certain offset into the CREATE...DOES> word's DFA. This @ version is embedded into the DFA so finding FIP is @ as easy as moving FIP past itself. @ @ - Just like DOCOL, we enter with CFA in r0. @ - Just like DOCOL, we need to push (old) FIP for EXIT to pop. @ - The forth words expect DFA on stack. @ .macro DODOES_BODY, magic=, wrap_insn:vararg= 0: \wrap_insn PUSHRSP FIP 1: \wrap_insn ldr FIP, [r0] \wrap_insn add FIP, FIP, #((2f-0b)/((1b-0b)/(4))) \wrap_insn add r0, r0, #4 \wrap_insn PUSHDSP r0 NEXT_BODY \wrap_insn 2: .endm @ @ $DODOES ( -- ) emits the machine words used by DOES>. @ defword "$DODOES",F_IMM,ASMDODOES DODOES_BODY ASMDODOES, COMPILE_INSN .int EXITWay 2 - partly inline, where the emitted code does an absolute branch and link. This reduces the amount of memory used per definition at the cost of a branch. Ultimately this is the solution adopted. _DODOES calculates the new FIP adjusting the return address from the branch-and-link done by the inlined bits.
_DODOES: PUSHRSP FIP @ just like DOCOL, for EXIT to work mov FIP, lr @ FIP now points to label 3 below add FIP, FIP, #4 @ add 4 to skip past ldr storage add r0, r0, #4 @ r0 was CFA PUSHDSP r0 @ need to push DFA onto stack NEXT .macro DODOES_BODY, wrap_insn:vararg= 1: \wrap_insn ldr r12, . + ((3f-1b)/((2f-1b)/(4))) 2: \wrap_insn blx r12 3: \wrap_insn .long _DODOES .endm @ @ $DODOES ( -- ) emits the machine words used by DOES>. @ defword "$DODOES",F_IMM,ASMDODOES DODOES_BODY COMPILE_INSN .int EXITIn either case, just like DOCOL, we need to push the old FIP pointer before calculating the new one. The old FIP pointer corresponds to the address within the word that called the DOES>-created word. In both cases we need to push the DFA of the executing word onto the stack (this is in r0 on the AArch32 Jonesforth).
Finally, in both cases the CREATE...DOES> word is indistinguishable from a CREATE...;CODE word, and the created word is indistinguishable from a word created by a CREATE...;CODE word.
\ This is the CREATE...;CODE $DOCON END-CODE example before. : MKCON WORD CREATE 0 , , ;CODE ( MKCON+7 ) E590C004 E52DC004 E49A0004 E5901000 E12FFF11 (END-CODE) CODE CON ( CODEWORD MKCON+7 ) 5 (END-CODE) \ Fully inlined CREATE...DOES>. : MKCON_WAY1 WORD CREATE 0 , , ;CODE ( MKCON_WAY1+7) E52BA004 E590A000 E28AA020 E2800004 E52D0004 E49A0004 E5901000 E12FFF11 9714 938C (END-CODE) CODE CON_BY_WAY1 ( CODEWORD MKCON_WAY1+7 ) 5 (END-CODE) \ Partly-inlined CREATE...DOES>. : MKCON_WAY2 WORD CREATE 0 , , ;CODE ( MKCON_WAY2+7 ) E59FC000 E12FFF3C 9F64 9714 938C (END-CODE) CODE CON_BY_WAY2 ( CODEWORD MKCON_WAY2+7 ) 5 (END-CODE)This makes decompiling (i.e. SEE) a bit tricky, but not impossible. As you can see here, I haven't written a good disassembler yet, which would detect these sequences as $DOCON. IMHO this is still a lesser evil than introducing new fields or flags into the word definition header.
P.S. Defining constants is a classical example of using DOES>, but a bit silly when applied to Jonesforth, where it's an intrinsic. It's an intrinsic so that certain compile-time constants, known only at assembler time, can be exposed to the Forth prelude and beyond.

Engine Overheated on 94' Suburban
This past Friday afternoon I get a the following call from my wife, "Eddie, the water temperature just hit 229 and there is smoke coming out from under the hood." I tell her to get off to a safe place on the side of the road and I'll be there shortly. Well, turns out she was in line picking up the kids, so it was easier said than done.
I get there expecting the worse (i.e. blown head gasket for something like that). Well, was I happy to find the problem could be solved with a Diet Coke bottle cap and about 1 1/2 gallons of water. The cap from the heater hose flush Tee must have melted, deformed and blew off under the pressure. After all, it was about 98*F or so and she had the AC blasting. The last time she looked at the temp gauge it read 209*F. I replaced the Tee with a brass splice.
So how is it she knew the temperature so accurately? I'll guarantee you it was not because of the stock gauge, what a joke :rolleyes:. After the head gaskets blew on the original engine (236k miles), I had realized that when the stock gauge read 210*F, it was as high as 230*F (or higher) by using an Auto-X-Ray scanner. When I installed the new engine, I also installed a digital temperature gauge with the sending unit in the passenger side cylinder head. The Nordskog Digital Temperature gauge P/N NRD-M9013A is a very visual way to keep an eye on your temps. It also has a high temp recall button. And let's face it, our wives are not keeping an eye on the oil pressure and temperature gauges, especially when they have a bus full of kids (lol).
I told her when I installed the gauge, if the temperature ever exceeded 220*F she needed to let me know immediately and avoid driving until I had a chance to look it over. Up until this incident, the hottest it ever got was 218*F and that was sitting idling with AC full blast for about 20 minutes recently in July.
I just thought I would share this story for anyone thinking about "wife proofing" a daily driver. The gauge is not exactly the best looking option, but it gives me a high level of comfort.
Ed www.edgesz28.com
My uncle has a 93 Suburban and the last time we used it to tow with I dont think the temp gauge worked at all. Hmm pulling the Grapevine in so.cal with a trailer and no temp gauge. Great idea there...
The dog can bite you one time
but the dog wont bite you again.
What happen to the show on tv where the guy would come up with stuff....
Here's one most people never think of, maybe it might help someone.
If you start to overheat, turn off the AC.....
and turn on the heater FULL BLAST.
the heater core is a little radiator and it removes heat from the water, NOT comfortable for you, but it does help especially if you get caught with a STUCK THERMOSTAT.
check out www.readershotrods.com drag cars/georges
that made my day......... :thumbup:
the show was like fear factor
i just watched to see what they would come up with next.
I have a cousin like that
that dude will drop the oil pan and put a piece of brown paper bag
in between the bearings to get enough oil pressure to make it home.

Council adopts resolution asking for repeal of 2011 fireworks act
By Joshua Gordon
Posted June 17, 2014
FERNDALE — Ferndale city officials have butted heads with the Michigan Fireworks Safety Act since it was passed in 2011, and during the June 9 City Council meeting, the council adopted a resolution to urge state legislators to repeal the act.
Council adopted the resolution as part of the consent agenda, as it regularly does when items pertain to business not directly related to the city, such as state or federal issues, Mayor Dave Coulter said.
Council members Dan Martin and Greg Pawlica requested the item to be on the agenda, but they were not the only ones questioning the Fireworks Safety Act. With the unanimous adoption, the resolution will be forwarded to Gov. Rick Snyder, state senators and representatives, as well as other communities in Oakland County.
"A couple years back, the state Legislature passed a public act that took away control of municipalities when it comes to fireworks sales and types that go out there, and the results have been troublesome for many communities," Martin said. "We have no control over it anymore, and it has become a noise issue when it is fired off, and it is problematic and creates some public safety concerns in regards to the availability of fireworks and storing them at home.
"Without the ability to address this locally, our hands are tied, so we urge the state to reconsider it."
Royal Oak and Clawson city councils adopted similar resolutions in the past month.
The Michigan Fireworks Safety Act states that "a local unit of government shall not enact or enforce an ordinance, code or regulation pertaining to or in any manner regulating the sale, display, storage, transportation or distribution of fireworks regulated under this act."
Last June, council adopted an ordinance amendment that restricted residents from using fireworks on private property outside of the day before, day of and day after a holiday. Fireworks are never allowed on public property.
If someone is caught using fireworks on a day outside of those allowed, or between 12-8 a.m. on those days, and 1-8 a.m. on New Year's Day, they could be cited with a civil fine up to $500.
While the days are limited, Police Chief Timothy Collins said noise complaints have continued to roll in.
"The new state law has allowed people on any holiday, not just the Fourth of July, to fire off fireworks we used to call class A and B, and they can do it all day long," Collins said. "When you have people with kids or people with dogs, the cops can't do anything about it. Occasionally, you have people lighting off fireworks and they have been drinking all day, so thankfully we have had no real injuries.
"This is a slippery slope because it is legal and that pretty much means there are no restrictions. This is not evil people doing this, just people who like fireworks, but it has got out of hand and it was one of the dumbest moves the Legislature has ever made."
Collins said a concern is fireworks stores opening up near neighborhoods, such as the one that has been approved in Royal Oak.
"The other fear is people want to open up fireworks stores near communities, and we are not afraid of the revenue or free enterprise, but about storing things that blow up in one room," he said. "My personal opinion is I'm pretty sure we are going to survive without any things blowing up in the air that is not done professionally at a display. No one will starve, and I don't mean to be a party pooper, but the state is not making any money in revenue, and that was part of the reason to do it in the first place."
Coulter said he feels the law has done more harm than good and it would be in everyone's best interest for the Legislature to repeal the law.
"This isn't a new issue for us, as when the law first got passed, we got a letter together with mayors in south Oakland County, and then last year we passed a resolution, so this is our third bite of the apple," he said. "My perspective is the law has been a disaster. It has not only affected people's quality of life in terms of noise, but in safety hazards, as well. I used to think the law could be fixed, but I have come to believe the law would be better off if it was repealed altogether."

Jackson, who is believed to be recording a single for the victims of Hurricane Katrina, had his children with him during the visit on Sunday.
He had previously attended West End musical Billy Elliot and been besieged by fans at a recording studio.
Jackson's visit to London is his first public appearance since being cleared of child abuse charges.
On arrival Jackson, 47, walked through a crowd of fans, shielding his eyes from camera flashes, and into the building.
The star's children - Prince Michael Jr, Prince Michael II and Paris-Michael - all had their faces covered in their usual fashion.
Large numbers of Madame Tussauds staff were waiting inside the attraction to greet the singer.
On Saturday, the singer arrived in a people carrier with his children 15 minutes late for the matinee performance of musical Billy Elliot.
Throughout the show, hundreds of his admirers waited outside brandishing posters of support and chanting his name.
On Friday Jackson signed autographs after being pursued by fans through an underground car park near a recording studio.
The star has also been spotted in the Dorchester Hotel, London, meeting fans and posing for photographs.
Jackson is believed to have arrived in the UK on Thursday to record Hurricane Katrina charity song From The Bottom Of My Heart.
The singer has been in Dubai since his trial in California.
It is not clear which recording studio is being used by the star or how fans knew where the singer would be appearing.
Footage of fans surrounding Jackson at the car park of the studio was released by 2 Seas Records, a joint venture between Bahrain's Southern Governor Shaikh Abdullah bin Hamad Al Khalifa and Jackson's brother Jermaine.
Jackson climbed onto a car roof in the car park to greet his fans, who took photos on cameras and mobile phones.
