This application is a continuation of application Ser. No. 08/260,356, filed Jun. 15, 1994 now abandoned, entitled Personal ID Memory Card/Agency.
1. Field of the Invention
The invention relates generally to data memory cards and more particularly to the creation, storage, processing and sharing of documentation between agencies and their clients.
2. Description of Related Art
Persons needing federal, state or local support for any number of reasons often must deal with a number of agencies to obtain the benefits or services sought. For example, individuals that are handicapped with a developmental disability such as mental retardation have continual support through various agencies such as California Department of Education, California Employment Development Department, California Department of Developmental Services, California Bureau of Mental Health, California Community College System, California State University System, California Job Training Partnership Administration, California Department of Rehabilitation, Social Security Administration, and California Family Resource Centers. Such agencies may be involved through the educational and vocational training period of such an individual during which time the individual's development is assessed, planned, implemented, reassessed on a continual basis. In the process of an individual's development, the individual along with his (or her) parents or guardian continually meet with various agencies, such as the agencies listed above, to obtain the development or other services needed by the individual. Typically, a case manager or liaison and one or more participating local agencies meets with the parent and individual to provide the planning and coordination of services necessary to receive the benefits from the various agencies for the individuals next developmental phase. Such meetings are typically scheduled on a yearly or more frequent basis. In the planning meeting, other agencies may be brought in depending on the assessment of the individual's needs and the activity or experience to be provided to the individual. Over the early life of the individual many meetings may take place with assessments, notes, recommendations and other documentation from various agencies. All such information will be used in coming up with a planning document which will continually be revised and updated. The volume of paperwork, documentation and forms in this process can become overwhelming to the family as they work with a number of agencies. The present documentation system for dealing with agencies is unduly burdensome for individuals and their families because of duplicative data collection, delays in multi agency collaboration, and inexhaustive forms and paperwork.
For example, an individual with mild mental retardation may be the client of a local regional center concurrently receiving services from special education. Regular meetings are held to develop an individual's yearly plan for his vocational education. The planning meetings could include the individual's parents, his teachers, a psychologist, speech and language specialist, a regional center case manager and transitional specialist, representing perhaps various agencies. Meeting notes are taken by the various participants and a record of the planning meeting documented in writing by the various participants. The different agency representatives typically have separate planning documents and forms provided for by their respective agency policies and procedures. The family is given a number of paper documents from the planning meeting which may include notes, forms and planning documents from the various participants and their respective agencies. This governmental paper documentation can become overwhelming to the family and individual and cause delays in dealing with future problems or other agencies. Further, much of the paperwork becomes duplicative in future meeting or in dealings with other agencies causing the family and individual to spend a lot of extra time and effort in obtaining and utilizing the services and benefits of the cognizant governmental agencies. A need therefore exits for a method for a family and individual to deal with the governmental agencies, and the various agencies to deal with each other, in providing assistance to individuals that eases the burden of the family in obtaining such assistance for the individual.
Attempts at designing information gathering and processing systems have been made but none that would assist the individual and agencies in the aforedescribed circumstances. For example, U.S. Patent issued to Lawrence Prichard discloses a medical insurance verification and processing system which uses a medical information card. The card is inserted into a local entry terminal which communicates with a central computer to provide insurance information. The card may include an integrated circuit for updating, storing or processing information. An article in a December, 1993 Wall Street Journal issue discloses a memory card used for recording a patient's insurance status, name, address, next of kin, doctor, medical condition, past surgeries and pharmaceutical records. The card can be read by an emergency medical technician with a pocket computer and help determine whether an unconscious person has diabetes, a heart condition or is an alcoholic, for example. An insurance smart card used by French Mutual Insurance (disclosed in a brochure entitled Mutuelles de France--C3S) provides an insured with a portable administration file, portable medical file and a means of payment. The medical file contains the card bearer's emergency health details and a data zone for preventative health care for the individual. Other examples illustrating uses of memory cards and management of transactions are illustrated in U.S. Pat. No. 5,241,161; U.S. Pat. No. 5,228,094; U.S. Pat. No. 5,227,612; U.S. Pat. No. 5,019,697; U.S. Pat. No. 4,853,522; U.S. Pat. No. 4,831,242, and U.S. Pat. No. 4,816,653. None of these patents disclose a viable solution. It would therefore be an advancement in the art to provide a method to facilitate the information handling in the client relationship between agencies and individuals.
The object of this invention is to make it possible for people to deal with governmental agencies and other entities, and agencies to work with each other, without the vast amount of paperwork presently involved. The invention cuts through the problem of agency paperwork inefficiencies by utilizing memory cards in the process of creating and communicating the documentation necessary for agencies to serve their clients. Clients are provided with memory cards with documentation downloaded therein. These memory cards can be updated or the data therein used in subsequent dealings with agencies. Further, the documentation from the memory cards can be telecommunicated between agencies and clients utilizing palmtop computers, modems via electronic mail and bulletin boards.
The palmtop computers may access via modem, an electronic bulletin board service which houses a dynamic resource database providing information that may be needed by the agencies in coordinating or determining the appropriate services for the individual. Various other agencies would have access to the same or similar databases.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating the relationship of the agencies and clients and planning documents created as part of this relationship, and the method for electronically handling the planning document between them, and
FIG. 2 shows the palmtop computer of FIG. 1 used in the preparation of planning documents and electronic communication thereof.
Referring now with more particularity to the drawings, there is illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2 a block diagram of the method for creating a planning document between the various agencies and the families and the individual for which the plan will benefit. There is illustrated a family unit 10 and an agency 20, which agency has a case manager 22 that is primarily responsible for representing the individual 12 in coordinating the agency assistance for the individual along with other cognizant agencies and other participants. More specifically, the case manager 22 may provide the lead role in setting up the planning document 30 for the individual 12 in his treatment or education, for example. The individual and his (or her) family, namely the family unit 10, are provided with a PC card 14, which may be a magnetic medium card or an SRAM or flash RAM memory card having 16 to 512 kilobytes or more of memory. For assurance, the family unit may be provided with two PC Cards, one card being the primary card and the other card being a backup card. The case manager also has his own PC Card 24, which may be a one megabyte or larger PCMCIA SRAM or flash RAM card, for example. The case manager PC Card will typically have a larger memory to accommodate the many clients that he may have to serve. The PC Cards have a size similar to conventional credit cards. These cards are therefore convenient and easily carried and stored. As an alternative, a "smart card" can be employed which has an integrated circuit molded with the card, which integrated circuit can store, update and process information, this card being readable/writable by the palmtop computer via PCMCIA port or via and external "smart" card read/write terminal.
The case manager 22 is provided with a palmtop computer 26 which has a number of software application that may be loaded therein (described below). While a palmtop computer is preferred other personal computer apparatus may be used instead, such as a lap top computer or personal computer. However, a palmtop computer provides a convenient processing unit that is readily carried and transported. Many palmtop computers are available and personal digital assistant type computers may also be employed. The family may also have a personal computer 16 which can be used in conjunction with their PC Card as described hereinbelow. Information gathered during a typical meeting at a convenient location between the case manager 22 and family 10 and other participants, such as other agency representatives, is recorded in a planning document 30 on the case manager's palmtop computer 26. This planning document 30 provides a single interagency planning document when more than one agency is involved for the individual's treatment or education, thus desirably eliminating separate planning documents for each agency involved. The planning document 30 and possibly other documented information is downloaded onto the individual's PC Card 14 providing the family with a record of the planning document. Furthermore, the planning document and other information necessary for the coordination of services for the individual are stored in the case manager's PC Card 24. Upon successive meetings, the planning document 30 will be supplemented or modified and stored in the individual's and case manager's PC Cards 14 and 24. The PC Cards 14 and 24 may also have other information recorded therein such as personal assessments, intake/profile information on the individual, and resource information.
The family 10 has a record of the planning document 30 in their PC Card 14 which can be used when obtaining services from other agencies. For example, the family may need the services of Agency A. Upon meeting with the representatives of Agency A's, the information from the individual's PC Card 14 can be downloaded into Agency A's PC (personal computer) 40 using a conventional memory card reader. The information on the individual 12 is therefore provided electronically without the need for the family to fill out additional forms or paper work. If any additional information is needed by Agency A it can be added through their computer to complete their file. Agency A can thereafter download their file onto the individual's PC Card 14 to provide the individual 12 with a record of the file for their records or later use in dealings with this or other agencies. The family can deal with a plurality of agencies in this manner without the need for large quantities of paper changing hands.
Instead of meeting personally with agencies, the family 10 may deal with agencies electronically by transmitting the planning document 30 or other information stored in the individual's PC Card 14 by such means as electronic mail, electronic bulletin board or other telecommunicating means, for example. The family 10 using their personal computer 16 and modem may transmit the information directly to the desired agencies computer, such as shown as Agency B's PC 42. Agency B can seek any additional information needed over the phone from the family 10 or perhaps other agencies that may have been involved with this individual 12. Agency B can transmit back to the family personal computer 16 their documentation on the individual 12 to provide the family with a record of it. The family 10 can download Agency B's records or information into the individual's PC Card 14. The family also has the flexibility with their PC Card 14 to deal with agencies both in person or by telecommunications at various times during the families course of dealing with agencies. If an agency participates in a planning meeting, such as Agency C illustrated in FIG. 1, that agency may also have its information downloaded into the planning document 30 at that time, through the case manager's palmtop computer 26, for example.
The case manager 22 also has the planning document 30 stored in his PC Card 24 for individual 12. The case manager 22 may also have planning documents for other clients stored in his PC Card 24 which may be accessed at any time through his palmtop computer 26 or a laptop or other personal computer. Palmtop or laptop computers are portable and typically battery or self-powered. At any time the case manager may, by means of electronic bulletin boards or E-mail for example, electronically telecommunicate information in the individual's planning document 30 (or other information necessary in providing services to the individual 12) with another agency, such as Agency D 46 or Agency E 48. The case manager may also receive information from other agencies such as Agencies D and E which is used for the individual's planning document 30. The agencies may also communicate with other agencies in relation to the individual's planning document 30 such as shown in FIG. 1 between Agency E 48 and Agency F 50. It should be noted that the electronic exchange of client records between agencies is subject to the permission or approval of the client or the client's family.
As shown in FIG. 2, the case manager's palmtop computer 26 has a screen 60 for displaying information and a keyboard 62 for entering information into the palmtop computer. Other input means for handheld computers may include a stylus pen input or a software "virtual" keyboard for pen type input. The palmtop computer 26 may be connected to a modem 64 for telecommunicating information contained in the individual's planning document 30 to other agencies or to the family 10. This electronic communication may be provided by electronic mail or electronic bulletin boards. The palmtop computer 26 may also have connected thereto a PC Card reader 66 which is adapted to read the information in the PC Cards 14 or 24 or adapted to write information into these cards from the computer. A printer 68 may also be connected to the palmtop computer 26 to print a hard copy of the planning document 30 or other forms or information related to the services being provided by the case manager's agency or perhaps other agencies.
The case manager's palmtop computer may have certain software applications 70 loaded therein to facilitate the creation of the planning document 30 or other services to be provided, which software applications are illustrated in FIG. 2 and listed as follows: A Personal Information Management application 72 which may includes items used to assist in coordinating meetings and in keeping track of activities that must be performed in order to coordinate services for clients such as the individual 12. Such items may include an appointment schedule, to-do list application, and phone/address database, for example. Caseload Spreadsheet Database application 74 that assists in keeping track of a client caseload and basic information needed on a regular basis as the case managers 22 perform their case management functions which may include information such as name, school, date of birth, phone number, status at other agencies, date of graduation, next planning meeting dates, short notes. An Interdisciplinary Notetaker application 76 to record notes related to case management activities using a word processing program. This application may be used to record notes on going information and activities that are performed in the management of service coordination. These notes may be important for the continuity of case management and for recording the most up to date status of individual client cases. A Word Processing application 78 which is used to write to clients, families, other agencies, and to record assessments that may be necessary for service coordination. An Electronic Planning Document Database application 80 that allows the recording of planning documents of various agencies into a single multi-agency electronic form. This database may also provide the ability to generate customized reports on a particular client as well as composite reports on several clients. Common Interagency Intake/Profile Information Database application 82 which may be used to record basic demographic information and more detailed case information not intended to be recorded in the Interdisciplinary Notetaker application 76 above. An Assessment Database application 84 in a common cross-agency electronic format for recording assessment information available from various agencies which may be necessary to determine eligibility and service needs of the client. Resource Database application 86 which allows the case manager to record and store information on available resources that he (or she) uses in coordinating services for clients. This may include name, address, phone number, contact persons, description of services provided and individualized notes which can be made by the user related to the particular service. This application allows the case manager to carry a vast amount of resource information with them into the field or for instant access at the office. The Resource Database application 86 may also be available on the family or clients PC Card so that the family and client can also have access to personal resource information. Follow-up Database application 88 to record information necessary to follow-up with clients in order to track their progress and possible need for further services or interventions. Data Communications application 90 to facilitate access to the dynamic resource database and e-mail communication available on electronic bulletin board service (BBS) allowing agencies to communicate with other agencies and families, families with other families and agencies and offering access to internet resources.
Certain information stored in the planning document 30 in the individual's PC Card 14 may be coded such that it requires an access code to read the information. Such certain information may be sensitive information resulting from the treatment to the individual during the period of his planning document and may only be disclosed to selected agencies on an as needed basis. The family may grant access to such sensitive information by providing them with the necessary access code. Sensitive information can be protected using access codes by any number of well known conventional techniques.

Dog Haus delivered a special pre-National Chili Day treat to the homeless at Ascencia's Winter Shelter at the Glendale National Guard Armory on Tuesday February 26, 2013.
The Pasadena and Alhambra based eatery, recently named one of CNN's Top Five Hot Dog Places in 2012, served up nearly 100 dinners that included signature Haus Chili Dogs. Dog Haus teamed with Ascencia to contribute in its plight to end homelessness in Glendale. Making sure the full house was "full," Dog Haus also donated more than 200 hot dogs, Chili, King's Hawaiian Rolls and more. "This was a fun event that also reminds homeless and less fortunate people that they are cared about by their community," said Dog Haus partner Hagop Giragossian.
"We were so pleased to be able to contribute and help feed so many deserving people." Since 1997, Ascencia has been providing a wide array of services and housing to assist hundreds of homeless families and individuals as the largest operator of homeless services in Glendale. In addition to Ascencia's 40 bed family/individual shelter, Ascencia is currently running an emergency Winter Shelter program for 80 adults during the winter season.

A classic example of a door that is chosen to suit a certain style of property that is experiencing a contemporary revival in all types of home is that of the ledged and braced door.
Ledged and braced doors have been common in British homes for hundreds of years due to their simple construction. A ledged and braced door can be made from a few vertical planks of equal length with horizontal 'ledges' across them to hold them together. In between these ledges are the 'braces' which run diagonally across. The front of ledged and braced doors shows only the vertical planks whereas the back has a characteristic 'Z' formation created by the ledges and braces.
They have been common for so long because this simple construction means they are easier to build than other doors and therefore easier to maintain, rotten parts could be simply removed without fuss. Ledged and braced doors are still commonly seen at the side entrances of terraced houses and on sheds for the very same reasons today even though terraced homes will most likely have more contemporary interior pine doors or hardwood internal doors inside.
Contemporary Classic
Those interior designers with an eye for syntax as well as home decorating will recognise the term 'contemporary classic' as a bit of an oxymoron. However, due to their heritage then subsequent unpopularity during the 70's and 80's and now current resurgence, ledged and braced doors have truly earned the merit 'contemporary classic'. Ledged and braced doors were only a stalwart over the last two decades in very rustic cottages but have become a favourite for more modern homes based near the country and even urban homes.
The main reason why ledged and braced doors were seen by many as draughty 'farmers doors' was because poor quality wood was often used to save money and so many ledged and braced doors could be seen on display in very poor condition. Nowadays it is possible to buy high quality ledged and braced doors made from solid oak that helps prevent warping. Because the wood used is of such a high grade and is perfect for a waxed natural finish, modern ledged and braced doors will sit happily within more contemporary homes than would ever have been considered twenty years ago. Couple this with classic ironmongery such as Suffolk latches or T Hinges to complete the look and even the most modern homes will comfortably succeed in feeling as rustic as warm ale on a summers day in front of the village cricket team.

I studied the Java memory model and saw re-ordering problems. A simple example:
boolean first = false;
boolean second = false;
void setValues() {
first = true;
second = true;
void checkValues() {
assert first;
TL;DR: It gives the compiler and hardware more room to take advantage of the as-if rule by not requiring it to preserve all behaviour of the original source, only the result of the single thread itself.
Taking the externally-observable (from other threads) ordering of loads/stores out of the picture as something that optimizations must preserve gives the compiler a lot of room to merge things into fewer operations. For the hardware, delaying stores is the big one, but for compilers all kinds of reordering can help.
(See part-way down for a section on why it helps the compiler)
Hardware reordering earlier stores with later loads (StoreLoad reordering) inside the CPU is essential for out-of-order execution. (See below).
Other kinds of reordering (e.g. StoreStore reordering, which is the subject of your question) aren't essential, and high performance CPUs can be built with only StoreLoad reordering, not the other three kinds. (The prime example being tag:x86, where every store is a release-store, every load is an acquire-load. See the x86 tag wiki for more details.)
Some people, like Linus Torvalds, argue that reordering stores with other stores doesn't help the hardware much, because hardware already has to track store-ordering to support out-of-order execution of a single thread. (A single thread always runs as if all of its own stores/loads happen in program order.) See other posts in that thread on realworldtech if you're curious. And/or if you find Linus's mix of insults and sensible technical arguments entertaining :P
For Java, the issue is that, architectures exist where the hardware doesn't provide these ordering guarantees. Weak memory ordering is a common feature of RISC ISAs like ARM, PowerPC, and MIPS. (But not SPARC-TSO). The reasons behind that design decision are the same ones being argued over in the realworldtech thread I linked: make the hardware simpler, and let software request ordering when needed.
So Java doesn't have much of a choice: Implementing a JVM for an architecture with a weaker memory model than the Java standard would require a store-barrier instruction after every single store, and a load-barrier before every load. (Except when the JVM's JIT-compiler can prove that no other thread can have a reference to that variable.) Running barrier instructions all the time is slow.
(see also Jeff Preshing's excellent blog post on C++ compile-time reordering. This basically applies to Java when you include JIT-compiling to native code as part of the process.)
Another reason for keeping the Java and C/C++ memory models weak is to allow more optimizations. Since other threads are allowed (by the weak memory model) to observe our stores and loads in any order, aggressive transformations are allowed even when the code involves stores to memory.
e.g. in a case like Davide's example:
c.a = 1;
c.b = 1;
// same observable effects as the much simpler
c.a = 2;
c.b = 2;
There's no requirement that other threads be able to observe the intermediate states. So a compiler can just compile that to
c.a = 2; c.b = 2;, either at Java-compile time or when the bytecode is JIT-compiled to machine code.
It's common for a method that increments something to be called multiple times from another method. Without this rule, turning it into
c.a += 4 could only happen if the compiler could prove that no other thread could observe the difference.
C++ programmers sometimes make the mistake of thinking that since they're compiling for x86, they don't need
std::atomic<int> to get some ordering guarantees for a shared variable. This is wrong, because optimizations happen based on the as-if rule for the language memory model, not the target hardware.
Once a store is committed into cache, it becomes globally visible to threads running on other cores (via the cache-coherency protocol). At that point, it's too late to roll it back (another core might already have gotten a copy of the value). So it can't happen until it's known for certain that the store won't fault, and neither will any instruction before it. and the store's data is ready. And that there wasn't a branch-mispredict at some point earlier, etc. etc. i.e. we need to rule out all cases of mis-speculation before we can retire a store instruction.
Without StoreLoad reordering, every load would have to wait for all preceding stores to retire (i.e. be totally finished executing, having committed the data to cache) before they could read a value from cache for use by later instructions that depend on the value loaded. (The moment when a load copies a value from cache into a register is when it's globally visible to other threads.)
Since you can't know what's happening on other cores, I don't think hardware could hide this delay in starting loads by speculating that it isn't a problem, and then detecting mis-speculation after the fact. (And treat it like a branch mispredict: throw away all work done that depended on that load, and re-issue it.) A core might be able to allow speculative early loads from cache lines that were in Exclusive or Modified state, since they can't be present in other cores. (Detecting mis-speculation if a cache-coherency request for that cache line came in from another CPU before retiring the last store before the speculative load.) Anyway, this is obviously a large amount of complexity that isn't needed for anything else.
Note that I haven't even mentioned cache-misses for stores. That increases the latency of a store from a few cycles to hundreds of cycles.
I included some links as part of a brief intro to computer architecture in the early part of my answer on Deoptimizing a program for the pipeline in Intel Sandybridge-family CPUs. That might be helpful, or more confusing, if you're finding this hard to follow.
CPUs avoid WAR and WAW pipeline hazards for stores by buffering them in a store queue until store instructions are ready to retire. Loads from the same core have to check the store queue (to preserve the appearance of in-order execution for a single thread, otherwise you'd need memory-barrier instructions before loading anything that might have been stored recently!). The store queue is invisible to other threads; stores only become globally visible when the store instruction retires, but loads become globally visible as soon as they execute. (And can use values prefetched into the cache well ahead of that).
See also wikipedia's article on the classic RISC pipeline.
So out-of-order execution is possible for stores, but they're only reordered inside the store queue. Since instructions have to retire in order to support precise exceptions, there doesn't appear to be much benefit at all to having the hardware enforce StoreStore ordering.
Since loads become globally visible when they execute, enforcing LoadLoad ordering may require delaying loads after a load that misses in cache. Of course, in reality the CPU would speculatively execute the following loads, and detect a memory-order mis-speculation if it occurs. This is nearly essential for good performance: A large part of the benefit of out-of-order execution is to keep doing useful work, hiding the latency of cache misses.
One of Linus' arguments is that weakly-ordered CPUs require multi-threaded code to use a lot of memory barrier instructions, so they'll need to be cheap for multi-threaded code to not suck. That's only possible if you have hardware tracking the dependency ordering of loads and stores.
But if you have that hardware tracking of dependencies, you can just have the hardware enforce ordering all the time, so software doesn't have to run as many barrier instructions. If you have hardware support to make barriers cheap, why not just make them implicit on every load / store, like x86 does.
His other major argument is that memory ordering is HARD, and a major source of bugs. Getting it right once in hardware is better than every software project having to get it right. (This argument only works because it's possible in hardware without huge performance overhead.)

Aspergers what does it mean to have it? Picture
So with the picture I have up I want to have a different tone then my usual funny pictures with my toys or anything else that is geeky in my life. With this picture I want to talk about a subject that is very very close to my heart and that subject is Aspergers Syndrome or AS for short.
As a young person with this condition I wanted to shed some spot light on this very overlooked human condition in all of society these days.
Aspergers is a neurological condition that is classified as a high functioning form of autism according to medical doctors. People born with this condition are not ill at all in anhway, they do not suffer from mental retardation what so ever, they are not physically handicapped in anyway, they mature like just like everyone else around them who doesn't have our condition, and we are said to have average to very above intelligence along with some higher cognitive ability.
This higher cognitive abilities I speak of are things like very creative ideas for writing for stories for some, others being very good at math to the point that some aspies (a term we with Aspergers like to refer to ourselves as) with this skill in math could possible rival even the greatest mathematical minds out there. Some aspies are able to memorize all kinds of useful and not so useful information and remembering it perfectly to the point that when we speak people call us a walking encyclopedia on a certain subject we have huge amounts of information on.
Some aspies remember dates of events in the world and history that they learn or hear about perfect without even trying unlike people who don't have their condition. There are a great deal more amazing things us aspies can do that I right can not begin to tell or explain to you about but I guarantee you if you looked any of it up you would have your mind blown of what some people with my condition can do?
For me my skills are being good take photographies, understanding the fundamentals of Photoshop and being able to make a work of art within a very short time, remembering all kinds facts both useful and useless about things like science that touches on the fringes of science fiction like aliens or zombies along with a lot of other things, my huge obsessive knowledge about mythology from around the world, my ability to remember things in history, my eye for detail when watching movies or looking at a picture, and my huge geekiness when it comes to things like superheroes both Marvel and DC, Pokemon, Star Wars and whatever geeky things catches my interest.
With my great skills and knowledge on the things I am interested in I am severally terrible and lacking of social skills and understand somethings about empathy when it comes to what the other person is thinking.
I along with many aspies like me have these problems of not making good eye to eye contact with others while talking, staying or changing a subject when in conversation with another person, being able to stop talking or not wanting talk at all to other people, not being able to stop ourselves from saying or doing somethings other people see as inappropriate or socially awkward ( which happens to me a lot in my life landing me in a lot of trouble), and we aspies from time to time have will a hard time controlling our emotions and throwing a temper-tantrum which we have a very hard time controlling as we are a sometimes easily provoked people but not all the time as long as people know what things make us mad and not mad.
As a result of these setbacks we aspies have very few friendships that don't last long maybe a few months to a year it really depends on how bad we made our situation with our friends. Since we are so socially awkward we aspies tend to be the victims of a lot of bullying from our fellow peers in school, our neighborhoods, our community, our classrooms, and even work.
We don't mean to be the way we are which others who have met us like to describe as which are weird, creepy, strange, odd and emotionally unable to control our emotions but its just with our higher brain activity comes a greater set back our social understanding of our fellow man.
We aspies are so socially awkward at times we get picked on by our teachers, bosses and other people of authority whom we at first would see as our most understanding person in our life but quickly change as they get to know us more and become just as ignorant about us as our peers do.
Ignorance about our condition is a very common problem for many people who meet us Aspies for the first time and have to be around us. It's just like with other groups of people who were different in history we face ignorance just like them only our difference is more inward rather than our word.
We aren't like that by choice more we are like this due to our brain chemistry which is vastly different from people who don't Aspergers we refer to as Neural Typicals.
Due to being odd and being great in our skills we Aspies are alone most of the time and lack a lot of friends and relationships as I have explained earlier for we are different and most people like all humans fear different until getting to know it better.
On a lighter note people with Aspergers have throughout history have contributed a lot to the advancement of mankind from poetry, to inventions, to medicine to just about anything you could think of these people are:
People in history that have been long since dead who may have had Aspergers:
Abraham Lincoln
Dr. Martin Luthor King
Michelangelo (The great Renaissance painter not the Ninja Turtle of the same name)
Howard Hughes
Thomas Edison
Nikola Tesla
William Shakespeare
and the list goes on......
People who have Aspergers who are alive and we known today:
James Cameron
Bill Gates
Steven Spielberg
Dan Aykroyd
George Lucas
Temple Grandon
Kayne West
and the list goes on........
List of people with Aspergers who are fictional in genre fiction:
Batman (Bruce Wayne)
Ironman (Tony Stark)
Michelangelo ( The Ninja turtle this time from the 2012 and 2003 incarnation at least)
Anikan Skywalker
Mr. Fantastic (Reed Richards)
The Hulk (Bruce Banner)
Spiderman (Peter Parker)
Rorschach (Walter Kovacs)
Ozymandias (Adrian Alexander Veidt)
Cyclops (Scott Summers)
Wolverine (James Logan Howlett)
Lt. Commander Data
Seven of Nine
Vision from the Avengers
Donatello ( Ninja turtles brother of Mikey)
Briany Smurf
The Silver Surfer (Norrin Radd)
Lex Luthor
Dr. Doom
Namor the Sub Mariner
Beast (Henry McCoy)
Antman (Hank Pym)
Butters from South Park
Comic Book Guy from the Simpsons
Ash Ketchum
Johny Depp's character from Sleepy Hollow
and the list goes on.........
Fictional Characters with Aspergers from just fiction:
Dr. Brenon Bones
Sheldon Cooper from Big Bang theory
Leonard from the Big Bang Theory
Michael Scott from the Office
Dwight from the Office
Amy from the Big Bang Theory
Abhed from Community
Senior Chang from Community
The Dean from Community
and the list goes on
See those people both fictional and real are examples of people with Aspergers Syndrome.
So please if you read this post and are now informed about people with Aspergers, the next time you see someone you think is possibly a person with Aspergers don't make fun of them, try to be their friend as hard as it is and help them understand the world a bit better in the most positive way you can as they have a hard time seeing how it works even though they may or may night show a great intellect about things in our world.
I hope my post has helped enlighten you reading this abit more on a very ignored condition that so many people in our society ignorantly oversee.

Guide to Charles Darwin's Down House from Victoria Station
This is a fantastic day-trip from London Victoria. You walk through a little bit of countryside, see Darwin's home and museum in Downe, and after have a wander through a charming little village – all within an hour (and a bit) of Victoria Station.
This is not a good trip for a pushchair as you cross a muddy field, but the museum and country pub are a really good day out for young and old alike. You get to ride through hedgerows, see barn yard animals, walk through muddy fields and kissing gates. The museum is great for kids and adults, and at the end of the journey – there is a GREAT pub with local beer and an open hearth fire. Also, near-by the pub is a remarkable playground.
Getting there:
From Victoria Station, there is a 15 minute direct train to Bromley South Station. Take a right and head to Bus Stop "Y" to catch the 146 to Downe. There is just one bus per hour and leaves at half-past, see the 146 bus schedule. Should your timing be a little bit off, there are shops and cafes on the high street, Over the Moon Café is right next to the bus stop and you can keep an eye on the bus times going back and forth.
It is about a 30 minute ride to Downe, but it's a great bus journey. About half-way through you start catching sweeping views of fields and valleys, this eventually gives way to a narrow hedge row road that turns into the most exciting journey if the traffic is light and the bus can go through swiftly.
The Downe bus stop is next to St. Mary's Church and a fascinating little church yard complete with an ancient yew tree and the Darwin family crypt, although Charles Darwin is buried in Westminster Abbey.
Getting to Down House from Downe:
This is a 15-20 minute walk that is really fun for all. Walk down Luxted Road (if your back is to the church, it is to your left) and stick to the footpath until you come to a little trail between two houses. There is a signpost indicating the path. Walk along, once you get into the field look between the trees to your left, you may see some cattle. Continue along the path until you reach the gate, cross over and you are at the opposite end of Christmas Tree Farm and can pet the Shetland ponies and other barnyard animals. With your back to the gate, follow the footpath to your right going towards a row of trees with your back towards the farm. Carry on into the next field, following the path until you come to a kissing gate. On the other side of the Luxted Road is Down House.
Down House:
Down House is an English Heritage site, it is the home that Darwin lived in from his time after sailing on the Beagle until his death. The Darwins raised 8 children in the home (they had 10 all together, two tragically died in infancy) and the home is still very much "child-friendly".
There is an arts and crafts room where younger children can play with puzzles and do some colouring. There is also a hands-on room with different exhibits explaining natural selection, habitats, traits, etc. The rest of the house shows different aspects of Darwin's life and work. There is an interesting exhibit on The Beagle and an enormous collection of Downe beetles.
The bookshop has a really good book on The Beagle that my children thoroughly enjoyed and I use in teaching primary students about Charles Darwin. There is a nice café on the site with highchairs.
The Queen's Head:
Walk back to the bus stop the same way that you came, when you come back to the roundabout, the church and the bus stop, you will notice a pub to the left called The Queen's Head. This is the perfect place to give the kids a reward for their walking. They have large sofas right by the open hearth fire and lots of board games to choose from. The menu is good, the Somerset brie tart, pate, sausages and chips are all excellent (and we have been many times). The pub rotates in local beers and is warm and friendly. If you are covered in mud, there are slippers at the front door and blankets to keep you warm while you wait for the bus.
The buses leave near the top of the hour (check the 146 schedule here) and is located just to the left of the door.
Should you have a little bit of time to wait, there is an amazing playground a ten minute walk away at Downe Recreation Grounds. The playground has been updated with a great zip-wire and a flying balance swing. I have never seen one of these before, but its basically two seats that hang from a beam balancing on a pole. As the children run and get momentum, they are rise up with one side going a bit higher and the opposite side dropping down. Our kids left us alone long enough for the grownups to share a bottle for Prosecco over the holidays.
You can get to the playground by going out the back garden from The Queen's Head, and following the pavement to the right. You pass a few houses, the school and then come to the playground.
Downe Riding Stables: just over the road from the playground is the Downe Riding Stables where children can have an instructed ride for 45 minutes for £17 a turn. They ponies are very gentle and each horse is led by a handler who will also help instruct your child on how to ride. They do not have a web site, but if you click on the link you will get a listing with their number. Ring them up – we have used them a lot and highly recommend them.Tweet

Hi, another thing that came to my mind:
- Add a (unit) testing framework and tests to GIMP. Details are left out for now but the idea is to get more unit tests and to make it easier to add and maintain them. But also to have more complex test scripts that perform GIMP operation using the PDB. These scripts would be run on a set of test images and the results would be compared against a set of output images. The test framework should also allow to easily test functionality of a certain plug-in. This way errors could easily be spotted and it would make changes to plug-ins a lot safer. Such tests could also be used as benchmarks to help with optimizations. Should we try to turn this into a more detailed proposal?

Oh Tannenbaum
Anne here with a Christmas card for inspiration. Today's card features one of the DV Christmas dies: Tannenbaum. I altered the die cut slightly by removing the frame and packages from around the tree. Here is what the die actually looks like.
After coloring the image with Copics, I used Nuvo Crystal Drops to create 3 dimensional ornaments. To create the scene around the tree, some very old stickers were used.
I used the negative portion of the frame (love the arched window it created) and covered it with Firecracker Red embossing powder. from Sparkle N Sprinkle

Students making their way to school in Sisters have had a number of smoky mornings lately. Firefighters there are continuing to battle the Pole Creek Fire just outside of town. But once the students get to school, they are breathing a bit easier thanks to the efforts of some local business owners.
When the fire first started, at least a few students were no doubt disappointed to hear that classes would not be cancelled. And though administrators monitored air quality inside the schools, there wasn't much they could do about it.
Leland Bliss , Director of Operations for the Sisters School District said, "When people would start opening and closing the doors later in the day, the building would start to get some smoke in it. So you could see a light haze in the buildings."
Julie and Benny Benson heard the same thing from their school-aged daughter. Both are engineers. Together they run the firm ENERGY-neering Solutions.
Julie Benson got in touch with Leland Bliss. Eventually the couple committed to buy $10,000 worth of hospital-grade air filters for the AC units at all three district schools.
Benny Benson says he tracked down suppliers that had all the right size filters.
"And then it became a shipping thing. 'Well, we can't get it there for 10 days or 20 days' So we said 'Why don't we just send a truck out or look to one of our own shippers there.' "
Benson eventually found a vendor in Nebraska that was able to expedite the order.
The Bensons now want to keep the project going with a fund they're calling "Clean Air for Kids."
Benny Benson says money donated to the fund would help the school district cover replacement filters during future fire seasons.
Meanwhile, school administrator Bliss says the filters are making the air in Sisters schools easier to breathe.


text: Many times, and I advise you to be careful in order not to be embarrassed! The WRX is much lighter that the S4 and if driven well it will fly. An S4 vs WRX battle is going to be more about driver skill than car performance. Tips: 1) The Subaru Boxer engine is really tight for the first 3-4000 miles. If your friend has a new one then it won't perform anywhere as good as expected. Don't let him kill the car by racing it in the first 1000 miles: These cars are built to a budget and should be run in properly. 2) It has lots of turbo lag, meaning no usable torque below about 3000 revs. In a staight-line race it might win, but in a longer race where lots of gear changes are needed, the WRX driver could get it wrong and lose a lot of momentum. 3) It has no ESP. Drop the clutch in a WRX and it WILL leap. That's why it can get such a good 0-60 time: It makes no attempt to protect the transmission. 4) A stock WRX handles a LOT better than a stock S4. Race one on bendy roads and you'll soon see how much! The S4 and WRX should not be compared. We are willing to pay for comfort and refinement and 'driveablity' of our cars. The WRX is a cheap rally car, no more.

Hey, a buddy of mine is getting a WRX in a couple of days. After his break in period, he is looking forward to "personally introducing me to his tail- lights" Anyone go up against a WRX? Any good stories to tell? I am sure i wont have a problem convincing my friend that he should have spent another 17k and gotten an S4. But, its always good to know what you are getting into. ;) -N '01 S4 (black) '94 Honda Prelude Si. '86 5000 CS-T
