Perl's source code should use the above functions instead of those
defined in ANSI C's stdio.h. The perl headers will
them to
the I/O mechanism selected at Configure time.
The functions are modeled on those in stdio.h, but parameter order has been "tidied up a little".
- PerlIO *
This takes the place of FILE *. Like FILE * it should be treated as opaque (it is probably safe to assume it is a pointer to something).
- PerlIO_stdin(), PerlIO_stdout(), PerlIO_stderr()
Use these rather than
stderr. They are written to look like "function calls" rather than variables because this makes it easier to make them function calls if platform cannot export data to loaded modules, or if (say) different "threads" might have different values.
- PerlIO_open(path, mode), PerlIO_fdopen(fd,mode)
These correspond to fopen()/fdopen() arguments are the same.
- PerlIO_printf(f,fmt,...), PerlIO_vprintf(f,fmt,a)
These are fprintf()/vfprintf() equivalents.
- PerlIO_stdoutf(fmt,...)
This is printf() equivalent. printf is #defined to this function, so it is (currently) legal to use
printf(fmt,...)in perl sources.
- PerlIO_read(f,buf,count), PerlIO_write(f,buf,count)
These correspond to fread() and fwrite(). Note that arguments are different, there is only one "count" and order has "file" first.
- PerlIO_close(f)
- PerlIO_puts(f,s), PerlIO_putc(f,c)
These correspond to fputs() and fputc(). Note that arguments have been revised to have "file" first.
- PerlIO_ungetc(f,c)
This corresponds to ungetc(). Note that arguments have been revised to have "file" first.
- PerlIO_getc(f)
This corresponds to getc().
- PerlIO_eof(f)
This corresponds to feof().
- PerlIO_error(f)
This corresponds to ferror().
- PerlIO_fileno(f)
This corresponds to fileno(), note that on some platforms, the meaning of "fileno" may not match Unix.
- PerlIO_clearerr(f)
This corresponds to clearerr(), i.e., clears 'eof' and 'error' flags for the "stream".
- PerlIO_flush(f)
This corresponds to fflush().
- PerlIO_tell(f)
This corresponds to ftell().
- PerlIO_seek(f,o,w)
This corresponds to fseek().
- PerlIO_getpos(f,p), PerlIO_setpos(f,p)
These correspond to fgetpos() and fsetpos(). If platform does not have the stdio calls then they are implemented in terms of PerlIO_tell() and PerlIO_seek().
- PerlIO_rewind(f)
This corresponds to rewind(). Note may be redefined in terms of PerlIO_seek() at some point.
- PerlIO_tmpfile()
This corresponds to tmpfile(), i.e., returns an anonymous PerlIO which will automatically be deleted when closed.
Co-existence with stdio
There is outline support for co-existence of PerlIO with stdio. Obviously if PerlIO is implemented in terms of stdio there is no problem. However if perlio is implemented on top of (say) sfio then mechanisms must exist to create a FILE * which can be passed to library code which is going to use stdio calls.
- PerlIO_importFILE(f,flags)
Used to get a PerlIO * from a FILE *. May need additional arguments, interface under review.
- PerlIO_exportFILE(f,flags)
Given an PerlIO * return a 'native' FILE * suitable for passing to code expecting to be compiled and linked with ANSI C stdio.h.
The fact that such a FILE * has been 'exported' is recorded, and may affect future PerlIO operations on the original PerlIO *.
- PerlIO_findFILE(f)
Returns previously 'exported' FILE * (if any). Place holder until interface is fully defined.
- PerlIO_releaseFILE(p,f)
Calling PerlIO_releaseFILE informs PerlIO that all use of FILE * is complete. It is removed from list of 'exported' FILE *s, and associated PerlIO * should revert to original behaviour.
- PerlIO_setlinebuf(f)
This corresponds to setlinebuf(). Use is deprecated pending further discussion. (Perl core uses it only when "dumping"; it has nothing to do with $| auto-flush.)
In addition to user API above there is an "implementation" interface which allows perl to get at internals of PerlIO. The following calls correspond to the various FILE_xxx macros determined by Configure. This section is really of interest to only those concerned with detailed perl-core behaviour or implementing a PerlIO mapping.
- PerlIO_has_cntptr(f)
Implementation can return pointer to current position in the "buffer" and a count of bytes available in the buffer.
- PerlIO_get_ptr(f)
Return pointer to next readable byte in buffer.
- PerlIO_get_cnt(f)
Return count of readable bytes in the buffer.
- PerlIO_canset_cnt(f)
Implementation can adjust its idea of number of bytes in the buffer.
- PerlIO_fast_gets(f)
Implementation has all the interfaces required to allow perl's fast code to handle <FILE> mechanism.
- PerlIO_fast_gets(f) = PerlIO_has_cntptr(f) && \
- PerlIO_canset_cnt(f) && \
- `Can set pointer into buffer'
- PerlIO_set_ptrcnt(f,p,c)
Set pointer into buffer, and a count of bytes still in the buffer. Should be used only to set pointer to within range implied by previous calls to
- PerlIO_set_cnt(f,c)
Obscure - set count of bytes in the buffer. Deprecated. Currently used in only doio.c to force count < -1 to -1. Perhaps should be PerlIO_set_empty or similar. This call may actually do nothing if "count" is deduced from pointer and a "limit".
- PerlIO_has_base(f)
Implementation has a buffer, and can return pointer to whole buffer and its size. Used by perl for -T / -B tests. Other uses would be very obscure...
- PerlIO_get_base(f)
Return start of buffer.
- PerlIO_get_bufsiz(f)
Return total size of buffer.

Going on May09 - I am going to Katiet on May09. I will not stay on any surf resort. I always preffer to have an integration with thw local people, exchange experiences and save money. I just want to know, if I pay the extra US15/day, will I have problems on this Trip? Surfing is ok on HT? Or I will have to "fight"against the capitalist surfers?

marty - a while ago i arrived in siobahn i was waiting for a cannoe ride to katiet. All the local canooes were out doing other things so i hung out till i could get a ride, turns out the fat dude mrty who owns the katiet villas resort had lobed into town for some supplies. I asked marty what the chances of scoring a ride were, he said yeh mate no probs 50 bucks. At the time i thought no dramas, so i jumped on knowing i'd be at lances for the late arvo glass off! Turns out martys $70,000.00 you bute centre console twin motor vessel had shit itself and me marty and his indo mate were stuck between Siobahn and Katiet with know help in sight, marty suggested i get one of my boards out and paddle to the nearest village and ask for help! good onya marty! turns out we got a tow from a couple of canooes, can you imagine what his resort would be like...?!?! can you imagine the reception marty got from the boys staying at mammas ..... Well marty i would have never written this if i hadn't heard that you have tried to buy out mamma and pappa housn, or if i didn't think you had somthing to do with the local pigs charging crew 15 bucks a day to stay in the village.... In short anyone going to katiet ... the locals are friendly enough, you should be able to work out a deal with accom... as for the cops and their fees... fuck em! support the local community buys a bit of this or a bit of that... look after the family your staying with don't expect to much.. and i'm sure you'll be swept under the rugh when they come looking for their money...... ps katiet villas looks like a shit setup any way.

Well first of all I'll start with the reason I chose to build this ground station instead of using a laptop
So after many times of carrying the laptop around assembling and disassembling parts and cables xbees usb cables and such I figured my laptop days as ground station will be numbered
Because of this I decided that I needed a ground station that would save me the need to deal with the assembling and disassembling in the field and will be more durable then my laptop
First I had to plan my shopping and inventory list
I had an old laptop with a broken screen that did not survive its frequent trips around and my poor handling skills And an older laptop screen that i planned on using with the other laptop mother board in order to do it I had to buy a lcd adapter that will let me use the vga port on the motherboard with the lvds laptop screen
That's about what I had to start with
The second thing was to look for a case that will be large enough to contain the mother board the screen another small screen that will fit in the remaining space and some lcd meters for giving a better look mostly and some 3 position switches
After many searches I found an old stock of Pelican at an affordable price and size that is suitable for my budget and needs i measured the space that left after installing the main screen and figure out that a 5 inch screen will just fit
then i needed to think of a way to install everything in a way that would give me easy access to the parts just for any case
after trying multiple materials Plexiglas plywood and others which are not very easy to work with without machinery which i didnt have access to i found just what i needed a pvc foam it is not the perfect material consider his toughness which is lacking but it is very easy to work with and so i chose it and start to cut holes and install the switches and lcds
for the finishing touch of the station i used a vinyl sticker in a 3d carbon woven pattern which gave the panel a nicer look
some technical details:
for powering the station i chose to use a sla battery instead of lipo for some reasons
first it is easier to deal with in terms of charging it and is much safer then lipo
second it is cheaper and heavier so I can save money and use it for balancing the case
i also wanted to be able to hook the station to ac power when its available
so i searched for some ac/dc converter that will meet my power demends and it turned out that i missed it in my calculation by a bit but for the moment it is working and i see no reason to change it but when it brake i'll certenly buy a bigger one capable of outputing more current
I then wanted to charge the battery while using the ac/dc convertor and giving the station more reliability i found a charger which is also a ups that is just what i wished for
also used step up regulator from 12v to 19v for powering the motherboard
and a step down regulator from 12v to 5v for powering the usb hub
both regulators are adjustable with lcd meters for convenience reasons and capable of outputting more current than consumed
bom for the station is:
laptop mother board and screen - free
pelican 1520 - ebay
LCD Controller Board DIY Kit - for connecting lvds screen to the motherboard - ebay
VGA 2AV driver board 5inch HSD050IDW1 800×480 screen - ebay
12v to 19v step up convertor with lcd for powering the motherboard - ebay
temperature meter with two sensors (inside and out of the case) - ebay
power meter with 2X lcd voltmeter and amp meter - ebay
12v to 5v step down convertor with lcd for powering usb hub - ebay
picoUPS-120 12v dc micro ups system - ebay
4X 3 position 6 pins switches - bought at a local electricity store - ebay
4X Delta Fan for Compaq 12vdc .15A 40mm EFB0412HHA - ebay
3d carbon woven pvc vinyl sticker - deal extreme
ac/dc convertor 100-240v input 12v output 3.2A or higher :) - ebay
pvc foam sheet - ebay
access point modem asus wl-330ge - ebay
usb hub 7-ports - ebay *
thermal skin for wires - ebay
* if you want to build your own usb hub you can do it using fe1.1s chip or similar very easily
**and so on with the other regulators it is just to my believe cheaper and faster to order it assembled :)
features of the station:
up to 2.5 hours of use on a single 12v 7Ah sla battery
secondary screen switchable between av and vga (via pc hdmi port and vga converter)
wireless connection to antenna tracker (xbee repeater, Bluetooth, 5.8Ghz)
access point modem - for multiple connection to the station (andropilot for ex)
can be easily modified and upgraded
sorry for my poor writing and description capabilities/skills
the uav station is not done yet still need to do some more things I will update the post as It go

Hello elad,
nice job, congratulations.
I am going to get some ideas to make a similar job with my old laptop.
waiting to see your work :)
Man this is ausem!
I also love it..i am still going with a table and doo all the setup. You know what will be soo much more ausem to get a small van that is closed and setup in a nice dark spot in the van but that is only in the dreams..Like a spy van...I will start with looking for a nice deurable box like yours and also start my setup...
Very nice job and ambeleavable that you did that.
hope to se yours as well Fausto
I love it! how did you interface your small 5" screen? I am interested in what you used the DIP switches for and how did you wire up the small displays for voltage MaH usage etc.........
great build. looking forward to finish mine
i want one of those!!!
looks so hard
hello elad,
if you would like to talk about drones i would like to call,
if there would be a convenient time. i am long time flyer but new
to the autonomous flight .
if it is ok send your phone number anda good time,
Awesome, keep up the good work!
Looks like you have a fan in upper right hand corner? You having any issues with heat?
Looks awesome!
but it is built to be solid and reliable and I don't want it to get to warm when used in the summer
and having the ac/dc converter plus sla charger and the access point modem might cause it to
get heated so just to be on the safe side
sorry I haven't updated for a while between my job and school I got little time for my hobby :)
+1 Rep!!

Plenty of people disregard orders to turn off phones and electronic devices during takeoff and landing — just put the Game Boy face down on your lap when the flight attendant walks by and pick it up a moment later.
It turns out these people really are risking a plane crash, according to an industry investigation shared with ABC News.
Pilots and engineers have identified 75 incidents which may be linked to signal interference from passengers. Among them: "Autopilot disengaged by itself," "left GPS is not reading correctly," and "rapid changes in cabin altitude and altitude control."
Boeing engineer David Carson says interference occurs when signals hit highly sensitive electronic sensors hidden in the passenger area. These sensors are particularly vulnerable in old planes.
As proof Carson took reporters from ABC into a test chamber. When phones were turned on, signal interference registered above safe levels.

About the Object
Early in his career, Thomas Hart Benton was involved in the American abstract movement, Synchromism. In the 1920s, Benton embarked on a style that incorporated Synchromist rhythmic line and expressive color with representational imagery of rural America. With this major shift in style, Benton established the Regionalist movement. Many consider Boomtown to be the artist's first Regionalist masterpiece.
[Gallery label text, 2007]
Boomtown is one of the masterpieces of the Gallery's collection because of its impressive and unique depiction of an American landscape. When Thomas Hart Benton sketched this panoramic scene from a second floor window, the smoky fire on the horizon signified progress, not pollution. Borger, Texas was a boomtown that sprang to life in 1926 after a refinery company hit a gusher that produced 5000 gallons of oil a day.
Benton is one of the three major American Regionalists (the other two are Grant Wood and John Steuart Curry), so called because most of their subjects were about life in the rural heartland of America.
While Benton was not a fan of contemporary modernist painting, and in fact disdained artists who painted in the abstract style, he couldn't help but be influenced by the curvy and streamlined aesthetic of his times and the way in which artists were reinterpreting three-dimensional space. Consider the way in which the people, buildings and landscape are layered from top to bottom on the canvas, rather than being laid out carefully from front to back in the manner of traditional artistic renderings.

I just came across a matrix of the form $A:=\begin{pmatrix} 0&-\frac{c_0}{b_0}&0&\cdots&0\\-\frac{a_1}{b_1}&0&-\frac{c_1}{b_1}&\cdots&0\\0&-\frac{a_2}{b_2}&0&\cdots&0\\ \vdots&\vdots&\ddots&\ddots&-\frac{a_{N-1}}{b_{N-1}}\\0&\cdots&\cdots&-\frac{a_N}{b_N}&0 \end{pmatrix}$ for some N$\in \mathbb{Z}^+$ where $a_n=-\frac{1}{2}\alpha(\beta^2n^2-rn), \ b_n=1+\alpha(\beta^2n^2+r), and \ c_n=-\frac{1}{2}\alpha(\beta^2n^2+rn)\ $such that $\alpha, \beta,r$ are known real constants.
From the Gershgorin circle theorem, I know that its maximum eigenvalue must lie in the Gershgorin discs. However, despite it being quite sparse, I could not get an explicit formula for its maximum eigenvalue.
I have tried solving the Av=$\lambda$v equation, where v is an eigenvector and $\lambda$ is an eigenvalue, in which I obtain a recurrence relation, but I didn't have an initial boundary condition. The equation det($\lambda$I-A)=0, where I is the identity matrix, also gives me a complicated equation that I can't solve.
Can anyone tell me what I have missed or is this an impossible-to-solve problem?

"I first noticed Trekitt by their fantastic YouTube videos, which were very informative and honest. So I headed on over to the website and looked at various coats to try and determine which to go for. Being a bit of a muppet I didn't really have a clue what was best so contacted customer services who directed me to a few coats but said he would go away (over the weekend!) and think some more and get back to me Monday. I thought it was just a fob off as the conversation had been going a while but low and behold on Monday morning an email appears with suggestions! I was so pleasantly surprised that if I hadn't already been convinced to buy with them, it was concreted then. I bought 2 coats from them the same day and very shortly after they appeared. The fit was exactly as they had suggested it would be, the quality of the items was as described and I am very happy with them. In this day and age of large companies taking a backward step from customer service, it is such a breath of fresh air to be treated with such a personal touch. If I ever need anything outdoorsy, I know exactly where I'm going."

"Magisterial."—The New York Times
"[A] fine new biography . . . [Eisenhower's] White House years need a more thorough exploration than many previous biographers have given them. Smith, whose long, distinguished career includes superb one-volume biographies of Grant and Franklin Roosevelt, provides just that."—The Washington Post
"Highly readable . . . [Smith] shows us that [Eisenhower's] ascent to the highest levels of the military establishment had much more to do with his easy mastery of politics than with any great strategic or tactical achievements."—The Wall Street Journal
"Always engrossing . . . Smith portrays a genuinely admirable Eisenhower: smart, congenial, unpretentious, and no ideologue. Despite competing biographies from Ambrose, Perret, and D'Este, this is the best."—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"No one has written so heroic a biography [on Eisenhower] as this year's Eisenhower in War and Peace [by] Jean Edward Smith."—The National Interest
"Dwight Eisenhower, who was more cunning than he allowed his adversaries to know, understood the advantage of being underestimated. Jean Edward Smith demonstrates precisely how successful this stratagem was. Smith, America's greatest living biographer, shows why, now more than ever, Americans should like Ike."—George F. Will

Steve Gaddis runs the newly created Game Changing Technology Development Program Office. Gaddis leads the program's efforts to develop innovative technologies that will revolutionize space exploration.
NASA Tech Briefs: What are we talking about when we say "Game Changing Technology Development?"
Steve Gaddis: That's a question that we get asked a lot. The program is one of ten programs within OCT, the Office of the Chief Technologist. In OCT, they have the Space Technology Program (STP), which is being managed by Mike Gazarik and James Reuther.
When we say "Game Changing Technology," we're looking for orders-of-magnitude impact in technology development. We're looking for cross-cutting infusion technologies that can be used in more than one place. We're looking for transformative technologies. We're looking for aggressive schedules and short development cycles (two or three years); fifty percent improvement in performance; and fifty percent or more reduction in manufacturing costs or lead times.
We're also trying to revolutionize the way we do business at NASA. A lot of times it takes several years to get something rolling at NASA. We want to be able to say, "This one's not panning out. It's not meeting the metrics," so we pull the plug, if you will, and take that money and reinvest into another "new start."
All of these align with agency priorities or any agency partners. We want to have a streamlined business model. We want to have accountability through what we call Continuation Reviews. Periodically through the year, the program steps in with our principal investigator, and we see: Are we really in the direction we want to go? Is the project making adequate progress? Is the technology maturation happening? So we have the ability to make those decisions somewhat quickly. And as you might suspect, we can have some breakthroughs in two or three years and have agreements with projects such as the Orion Capsule or the Space Launch System (SLS), or other government agencies like Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) to have onramps into some of their systems. In essence, we want to investigate approaches to revolutionizing space exploration.
NTB: You mentioned "pulling the plug." What are the criteria for pulling the plug, or deciding that a project has run its course?
Gaddis: We're a high risk/high payoff program. We come in with a pretty tall order. Someone says, "Hey, we can do this in two years. Here are the performance metrics and the key performance parameters. And here are the actual thresholds that we're trying to meet." So we're monitoring progress.
Each one of our activities has an overseer, somebody we call the GCD [Game Changing Development] principal investigator (PI). It's very analogous to a DARPA PM [Defense Advanced Research Project Agency Project Manager]. And this PI is monitoring the progress, and the certain Continuous Reviews. They step in and get the level of insight into that activity. They have to make a technological, strategic call, or weigh in on some of the programmatics. If these folks are on track to meeting their technical objectives, then we allow them to continue. If it looks like they're just not going to get there, there's no reason to say, "Ok, for the next two years, we're going to let this run out." We do an orderly shutdown of a month or so. All the participants understand that this is the governance model that we're operating in. So we take those funds, and we already have a stack of potential "new start" activities that need investment.

Rethinking rebuilding
From NBC News:
Federal projects intended to help protect New York and New Jersey towns from hurricanes and coastal flooding have languished – many unfunded -- for decades, the I-Team has learned.
The stalled projects, often approved by Congress as far back as the 1980s and 90s, were intended to study the feasibility of manmade barriers like seawalls, marshlands or large sand dunes to protect coastal areas on Staten Island as well as the Rockaways, Long Island and the Jersey shore.
One such study, aimed at making recommendations for flood barriers along the south shore of Staten Island, remains unfinished even though it was commissioned in 1993.
The south shore of Staten Island was the scene of some of the worst damage caused by Sandy.
"This system is broken. It needs to be fixed. It needs to be overhauled," said U.S. Rep. Michael Grimm. "Something gets approved and then it gets lost. It's almost like putting it in a bottomless pit and it never gets done."
From The Indypendent:
Sandy has triggered a public debate about how to protect the city in the future given the growing consensus that powerful storms and sea level rise are inevitable. But who will be protected? And who will pay?
Gov. Andrew Cuomo thinks New York City needs floodgates. Mayor Michael Bloomberg thinks other drastic measures have to be taken. Both of them have joined the chorus linking Sandy's devastation with global climate change. But neither of them has suggested he would stray from government's long tradition of protecting big real estate interests and abandoning those living at the margins, such as the tenants in the public housing projects of the Rockaways, Coney Island and Red Hook.
There needs to be a more equitable strategy going forward that forces the powerful real estate giants in Manhattan to pay the steep price of fortifying their luxury enclaves and puts public funds into protecting the most vulnerable working people.
The Cuomo and Bloomberg proposals are examples of short-term thinking dressed up in green rhetoric. They fail to look deeply at the long-term sustainability of the city. They obscure the basic questions of who benefits and who pays. If the chief beneficiaries of expensive dikes and other greening measures are downtown and waterfront property owners, why shouldn't they foot their fair share of the bill? If the captains of the growth machine took the risk with their capital, why should government have to bail them out?
On the other hand, if the city and state administrations seriously want to address climate change, they might begin to limit development in flood-prone areas instead of promoting it. They could also put more money into preserving and retrofitting the city's housing stock, especially public housing and homes in vulnerable areas, instead of wasting money to protect lavish new developments.
From the NY Times:
Across the nation, tens of billions of tax dollars have been spent on subsidizing coastal reconstruction in the aftermath of storms, usually with little consideration of whether it actually makes sense to keep rebuilding in disaster-prone areas. If history is any guide, a large fraction of the federal money allotted to New York, New Jersey and other states recovering from Hurricane Sandy — an amount that could exceed $30 billion — will be used the same way.
Tax money will go toward putting things back as they were, essentially duplicating the vulnerability that existed before the hurricane.
From the Huffington Post:
Given the size and power of the storm, much of the damage from the surge was inevitable. But perhaps not all. Some of the damage along low-lying coastal areas was the result of years of poor land-use decisions and the more immediate neglect of emergency preparations as Sandy gathered force, according to experts and a review of government data and independent studies.
Authorities in New York and New Jersey simply allowed heavy development of at-risk coastal areas to continue largely unabated in recent decades, even as the potential for a massive storm surge in the region became increasingly clear.
In the end, a pell-mell, decades-long rush to throw up housing and businesses along fragile and vulnerable coastlines trumped commonsense concerns about the wisdom of placing hundreds of thousands of closely huddled people in the path of potential cataclysms.
And of course we have the real estate industry's damage control piece in the NY Times:
Mr. Romski said that a heavy-duty, sophisticated drainage system, designed to handle flood surges, was instrumental in mitigating flooding. The system — which features underground chambers, wide street mains and storm drains on each house property — connects to large sewer mains that the developer installed in public streets that they rebuilt around the project site, as part of an agreement with the city, Mr. Romski said. Also helpful was a natural buffer of sand and beach grass that was maintained near the boardwalk. It also helped that much of the boardwalk in front of the project stayed intact to break the roaring surf, unlike the long stretch west of 88th Street that was obliterated.
So what he is actually saying is that they were just lucky that the boardwalk stayed intact in that section and bore the brunt of the surge. They may not be so lucky next time.
And the Daily News:
Rosemary Scanlon, dean of New York University's Schack Institute of Real Estate, said the market will rebound.
"The fears were widespread that people would move out of New York" after 9/11, she said. "It didn't happen."
But buildings — especially in Zone A — will need to be constructed differently, she said. Boilers and electrical equipment may need to be moved to higher floors, generators may become standard and towers may now be built further from the shore.
"Building on the waterfront was considered to be a great idea until the storm came," she said.
Daniel Kessler, spokesman for 350.org, a climate change awareness group, said with rising global temperatures and sea levels, building in flood-prone areas isn't a "very smart thing to do."
Actually, building on the waterfront was always considered risky. We were warned. We didn't listen. Zone B areas flooded as well as Zone A. Wake up, people.

My! My! My!
Do you tell me that the rag-tag bunch that posts on this blog got it right - were more on target than the Metropolitan Waterfront Alliance, Pratt Institute for Development, Columbia U, Partnerships for Parks and all those other touts that are in the pockets of developers?
Of course we need special mention to EDC, City Planning, the Mayor's Office, and everyone's favorite whipping boy, City Council?
Shall we strike while the iron is hot?
Of course not.
The development cult will encourage the people to build anew in the Rockaways and S I creating a public lobby for waterfront development that will provide cover for the real action with the luxury waterfront towers.
Even more importantly, we will reelect the same dickheads that voted for this crap.
Within two years it will be business as usual.

I always wanted to own waterfront property, but couldn't afford it. Now, water world has come to me at a great discount.
- Tuesday, November 20, 2012
Everything will be rebuilt close to as before, and we all will pay. Get used to it. Move on.

The image of mankind shaking a fist at a hurricane... we gotta take this seriously. One of the things that we discovered is an area zoned "C" - at the same elevation as the "A" zone across the street. Families experienced flooding to the second story - and these, btw, were the classic two-family with unit in basement (not cellar) that we see in most new construction where two-fams are allowed.

"So what he is actually saying is that they were just lucky that the boardwalk stayed intact in that section and bore the brunt of the surge. They may not be so lucky next time."
Maybe so, but the developer also raised the ground level at least 5 ft.
From NY Times:
"Before building, the developer raised the entire area with a half-million cubic yards of fill, essentially raising the entire neighborhood five feet higher than it had been, said Michael Dubb, principal of the Beechwood Organization, a partner with the Benjamin Development Company in developing the project along with Denise Coyle, principal of the Benjamin Companies."
- Tuesday, November 20, 2012
And the surge was 13-14 feet in many places...
- Tuesday, November 20, 2012
The futility of Mankind shaking a fist at a hurricane can be seen in that silver screen hit, "Key Largo".
Gangster Johnny Rocco, played by Edward G. Robinson, is frightened by the oncoming hurricane.
Humphrey Bogart says to Rocco,
"Scared Rocco? Why don't you show it your rod"?
I ironically joked with my wife that maybe we should watch that film, as we took refuge in the basement, until Sandy passed over us.
She didn't crack so much as a smile. Neither did I. We came out of it all OK, for which we give great thanks.
- Wednesday, November 21, 2012
I think its about time we sit down and look at campaign donations from those developers whom were involved with the waterfront and the politicians whose attention they "bought".
Now if information was provided before these projects were built that there was a risk that people were being put into harms way, and this was ignored, may we openly speculate if lawsuits could be filed ....
- against the developers, city and state agencies that ignored this advice, and (oh joy!) the politicians themselves?

My parents told me to turn off the light when I am not using it. But I remember my physics teacher told me that the action of turning on/off a light can cause huge energy. I am wondering how much is that? Someone said the energy caused by this action are enough to keep the light on for 15 minutes.
If we require a configuration here, let's assume we use a T8 light tube, with 220V voltage from the house and 30W of the tube.

Housing Search
Thinking about living off campus? Get help finding a place, learn about your rights and responsibilities as a tenant, and discover some handy tips for moving out when the time comes.
Login to Housing Finder to start your search!
Phase 1
Find a place
When you're looking to live off campus, you have a lot of options. Traditional apartments are often the first choice, but you may want to explore other options depending on your needs. Whatever your choice, start your search early and check listings often, as new ads are posted daily. Keep your budget, personal needs and preferred location in mind to ensure you find a place that fits what you're looking for.
NOTE: The University does not investigate, endorse, or guarantee the accuracy of the information provided by any listing. The University assumes no responsibility in regard to any agreement made with a landlord or any arrangements made by students sharing accommodations. These accommodations are located off-campus, are not affiliated with U of T, and operate under their own policies and guidelines.
Private and shared rental housing
Traditional apartments, homes and townhouses, or privately owned and operated residence-style housing located off-campus. Login to the Housing Finder to start your search, and use our Roommate Finder tool to find other students to live with!
Cooperative/Non-profit housing
Visit www.coophousing.com for information on what's available in Toronto and how to apply.
Rent-geared-to-income (Government-subsidized housing)
Housing Connections manages the centralized waiting list for subsidized housing in Toronto. Subsidized housing, or rent-geared-to-income rental units, are funded by government programs and allow eligible tenants to pay reduced rental rates based on their household's annual income.
Searching for housing from a distance?
If you need to arrange housing from a distance, here are some important things to keep in mind:
- Request photos and floor plans so you have an idea of what to expect when you arrive at your new home.
- Consider if the place will be big enough for you.
- Consider if the place includes the facilities and services you want.
- Make sure you know who the landlord is, how they can be reached and to whom you will be giving your deposit.
- Ask for recommendations from friends and family who know your housing needs and have experienced living in Toronto.
- Ask a family member or friend to view the housing for you if they live locally.
- Make sure you get what you were promised after you arrive.
Contacting a landlord is your opportunity to make a good first impression before seeing a place.
When you call, it is important to sound professional and have some questions ready. This is when you can clarify any details about the advertisement and request an appointment to view the place.
You may find our Landlord Q & A helpful!
Before you agree to rent a place, we strongly recommend that you meet the landlord, inspect the premises and visit the neighbourhood. Taking the time to do so will ensure you are able to make an informed decision around things like neighbourhood safety, accessibility, lighting and maintenance.
Be sure to inform your landlord in writing of any questions or concerns you may have. This will allow the landlord time to prepare the place before you move in.
If you inspect the rental accommodation that you have found through our services, and your evaluation of the premises or the landlord is negative, make sure you discuss your concerns with us.
Useful resources
- Information on bed bugs
- Low-Rise/Small Multi-Unit Residential Fire Safety
- Accommodation Fire Safety
- Fire Safety Resources
Found a place you like? Great – now it's time to discuss the terms of your lease agreement and close the deal.
As a tenant, it is important to be aware of your rights and responsibilities as well as those of your landlord. The Residential Tenancies Act (RTA) is the law that governs the relationship between most property owners and tenants in Ontario.
The Rental Agreement is a negotiable binding legal contract which should list the names of everyone who will be living in the unit. It may be oral or written, although a written agreement is recommended in case of future disputes and should not contain any rules or conditions not allowed by the RTA.
Be prepared!
When you meet to sign your lease, make sure you're prepared with the following:
- First and last month's rent cheques
- References from previous landlords
- Your current contact information
- Any other requirements stated on your lease
Before signing an agreement, make sure your questions are answered and the terms of the lease are clear.

Phase 3
Move out
Time for a change of scenery? Here are some tips to make moving out as painless as possible.
There are a few different ways to move out:
- You and your landlord agree to end your tenancy
- You give your landlord notice (giving notice)
- You find a new tenant to take over your place (assigning your place)
- You get evicted (not fun, but it happens – information about eviction)
Moving day checklist
1. Make arrangements with your landlord
It is important to give proper notice to your landlord before moving out. This often means up to two months advance notice. Remember, you may need to use your landlord as a reference in future, so be respectful about how you leave.
2. Make a moving-day list
The day of your move can be pretty hectic. Making a list will ensure nothing is forgotten. Include the schedule of your moving day, who will be doing what, and if possible an inventory so you don't leave anything behind!
3. Schedule movers
There are many movers around the GTA. The Ministry of Consumer Services has created a list of quick tips on hiring movers and blogTO has a list of some of the best movers in Toronto. Of course, you can also ask any friends or family if they`re available to help… but be prepared to return the favour! And of course, be sure to provide food and beverages to keep them energized and as thanks for their help.
4. Arrange for storage
If you need a place to store your stuff, consider renting a storage unit.
We recommend Find Storage Fast – they make it easy to find the perfect storage facility.
5. Start picking up boxes
Many grocery and department stores have boxes you can take for free. This is a great way to save some cash!
6. Purge as you pack
Take this opportunity to donate or get rid of anything you don't want or use. Items such as clothes, books and furniture are always appreciated at local charities or shelters.
7. Update your address
Once you have confirmed your new address, you should change your mailing address with the government and anyone who might need to mail you something, like family and friends. It's also a good idea to update your identification.

Monday night's storms wreaked havoc across Lamar and surrounding counties. A local man was killed in a crash in Talbot County while a Griffin woman died in a Pike wreck.
Many are still without power and a Southern Rivers lineman was injured while restoring power.
Crews are still working, with additional help to restore power to the remaining 1835 members without power this afternoon.
5:15 p.m.., Tuesday, March 19: SRE crews have been working non-stop throughout the night and additional crews from Harper's Tree Service, Snapping Shoals EMC, Sumter EMC and Walton EMC joined our restoration efforts and have been working hard all day.
We are making progress and the number of outages has been reduced from around 8000 at the peak of the outage to over 1800. Everyone is working diligently to get power restored as quickly and safely as possible. The phone lines are open but due to the volume of calls coming in, members may still experience some busy signals.

I hope you don't have any plans this Saturday morning.
Because you do now. You will be making homemade chocolate glazed donuts.
If you do already have plans, you should make these for dessert on Friday night... an ah-mazing treat for your friends.
I've made homemade donuts before out of store-bought biscuit dough. They are really great, but in their own unique way. They aren't quite the light and fluffy donut you'd find in a bakery. So, I decided to attempt to replicate one of our donut shop favorites : The Round-John, as they're called around our house (because they are of the same make up of a chocolate Long John, but round in shape, and not to be confused with a glazed chocolate donut which is chocolate dough with regular glaze... which happened once and resulted in an immediate trip back to the donut shop).
Here's the best part - they are made from one of my most favorite products : Frozen Bread Dough. You may remember that I use frozen dough to make soooo many things... 'homemade' cinnamon rolls, pizza bread, monkey bread, etc. Fore the glaze, I used my Warm Chocolate Icing Recipe from the chocolate sheet cake post.
I really hope you take the time to make these some weekend - it is a fun process to do with your family. I have great memories of making donuts with my Grannie on the weekends. I remember thinking how amazing it was that I could top them with anything I wanted. Unleashing creativity starts early.
Homemade Donuts
with a chocolate glaze
1 loaf of thawed but still cold frozen bread dough loaf or rolls (Rhodes brand is what I use)
vegetable oil
Thaw the frozen bread dough over night in the refrigerator or with the defrost method in your microwave. Cut the loaf into 12 equal sections, or use the individual rolls to form donuts.
Poke a whole in the middle of each section, then stick a finger from each hand in the hole and sort of wind them, stretching the center hole. Place them on a greased baking sheet. If you want to get extra fancy, you can use the Donut Cutters from my store. They come in two sizes... and you'll get the holes!
Spray a piece of plastic wrap with non-stick spray, then cover the donuts and let them proof in a warm spot for 30 minutes.
Fry the donuts for just 30 second to a minute on each side, then remove and place on a paper towel lined tray. Let cool slightly, then glaze while still warm.
Warm Chocolate Glaze
1 stick butter
2-3 tablespoons cocoa
3 tablespoons milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
3-4 cups powdered sugar (desired consistency)
In a saucepan, melt 1 stick of butter. Remove from heat and add cocoa. Stir in milk vanilla and powdered sugar. Start with 3 cups of powdered sugar, then add more if you'd like it to be thicker.

Soybeans Shoot Higher
Soybean prices rallied sharply this week as global demand for US soybeans picked up. The United States is a major soybean exporter, second only to Brazil.
It had been estimated that Brazil would produce a record soybean crop this year, but they are having problems transporting beans from the field to international markets. Logistical problems like poor roads, lack of railroads, and overburdened shipping ports have been a persistent problem for Brazilian soybean exporters. Backlogs and worker strikes at ports again this year are forcing foreign buyers to purchase US beans, which is cutting into an already-tight US supply.
As the market digested the shifts in supply and demand this week, soybeans rallied as much as 90 cents per bushel (+6.3%), reaching $15.16 per bushel on Friday morning, the highest price in over three months. While the rally was welcome news to US farmers who own soybeans, the rapid price increase will be painful to livestock feeders, biodiesel producers and other consumers who will all be feeling the pinch of higher bean prices.
Meanwhile, wheat prices continued falling this week as heavy snow across the Midwest reduced fears that record-breaking drought will persist across the Great Plains. On expectations for a better winter wheat crop, Kansas City wheat fell to the lowest price in over six months, trading down to $7.55 per bushel on Friday.
Crude Clobbered, Gasoline Stays Steady
Crude oil stockpiles swelled to a record volume for this time of year, reaching 376.4 million barrels. This unexpected rise in crude oil supplies hammered prices to $92.44 per barrel on Friday morning, the lowest price of the year. Additionally, signs than nuclear tensions with Iran may be waning diminished the threat to global crude oil supplies.
Meanwhile, continued refinery closures are diminishing demand for crude oil. Unfortunately for drivers, refinery closures are also limiting the supply of gasoline and diesel fuel, which is keeping those prices elevated, despite the recent sell-off in crude oil.

Render unto Caesar and unto God
Mark 12:13-17
13 ¶And they send unto him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, to catch him in his words.
14 And when they were come, they say unto him, Master, we know that thou art true, and carest for no man: for thou regardest not the person of men, but teachest the way of God in truth: Is it lawful to give tribute to Cæsar, or not?
15 Shall we give, or shall we not give? But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said unto them, Why tempt ye me? bring me a penny, that I may see it.
16 And they brought it. And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? And they said unto him, Cæsar's.
17 And Jesus answering said unto them, Render to Cæsar the things that are Cæsar's, and to God the things that are God's. And they marvelled at him.

"The Tree of Life Version is a miracle in motion."--Jack Hayford
An Authentic Jewish Translation of Holy Scripture
The Tree of Life Version (TLV) speaks with a decidedly Jewish-friendly voice--a voice like the Bible authors themselves--to recover the authentic context of the Bible and the Christian faith. Jesus's death and resurrection was not the beginning of a new religion but the fulfillment of the covenant God made with his chosen and called out people. Yet most Bible translations lose the connection to the Jewish nature of the Bible. As a result, biblical books that were written to Jews, for Jews, and about Jews lose a critical element--their actual Jewish essence.
The Tree of Life Version (TLV) is a new Bible translation, produced by Messianic Jewish and Christian scholars, which highlights the rich Hebrew roots of the Christian faith by restoring:
· the Jewish order of the books of the Old Testament
· the Jewish name of the Messiah, Yeshua
· reverence for the four-letter unspoken name of God
· Hebrew transliterated terms, such as shalom, shofar, and shabbat
· and more
Discover the rich meaning of the Bible with this faithful new translation that is accurate, readable, reverential, and true to the Hebrew roots of the Christian faith.
Endorsements for the Tree of Life Version
"The TLV is the fulfillment of a long-awaited dream to have a complete translation by biblical scholars sensitive to the Hebraic character of both Testaments. The church has known since its earliest days that it has a spiritual indebtedness to the Jewish people (Rom. 15:27), since everything it holds dear came through Jewish hands. Unfortunately, this vital knowledge of the Jewish roots of Christianity is sorely lacking in the modern church. Fortunately, the TLV is now here to restore what has been lost at a time in history when it is needed most."--Randall Price, PhD, distinguished research professor; executive director of Center for Judaic Studies, Liberty Biblical Museum
"This Bible is the collective work of this renewed Messianic Jewish community and the first and only of its kind. Translated directly from the original Greek and Hebrew texts and vetted by some of our best and brightest Messianic theologians and scholars, the translation is true to its original Hebraic roots and idiom. More than a historically important work, it represents the fulfillment of this prophetic, last days' restoration and the re-establishment of the Jewish Remnant to their unique and important leadership role in the body of the Messiah."--Jonathan Bernis, Jewish Voice Ministries International
"I wholeheartedly endorse the TLV version and encourage everyone to read it."--Wayne Wilks Jr., PhD, executive pastor of Jewish Ministries, Gateway Church; president, Messianic Jewish Bible Institute
"I am so excited about this innovative new translation of the Bible. The Tree of Life Version is unlike any other Bible you've ever read. This Bible focuses on the Jewish roots that are so foundational to our Christian faith. With its relatable Hebrew language and authentic cultural context, you'll gain a new appreciation for how the Bible was originally meant to be read and understood."--Robert Morris, founding senior pastor, Gateway Church; bestselling author of The Blessed Life, From Dream to Destiny, and Truly Free

This one covers the Nelson River and Lake Winnipeg watershed, which includes the mighty Saskatchewan River. I thought about breaking the Saskatchewan off into its own spread, but couldn't see much advantage other than being able to name the map after something more recognizable than the Nelson River, which flows through the minimally-populated north.

Kiwi technology entrepreneur Sir Peter Maire says it's "disappointing" few New Zealand firms appear to have shown up in the US for this year's Consumer Electronics Show.
The annual Las Vegas gadget fest has attracted more than 3200 exhibitors from across the globe in 2013, from small companies to tech world giants such as Samsung and Sony.
Speaking from the event, Maire said that other than his own firm, Auckland's Fusion Electronics, he knew of only two other New Zealand companies that were in town for the CES - wireless charging technology maker PowerbyProxi and miniaturised wireless camera developer Teknique.
It was an expensive event to exhibit at, he said, with Fusion's attendance costing at least US$30,000 ($35,700). But Maire said it was worth the investment and Fusion - which makes automotive and marine stereo entertainment systems - had made valuable contacts with distributors from across the globe.
"You can't do much if you sit down there in New Zealand hoping customers will come to you," he said. "I think Kiwi companies never think twice about spending money on R&D but they don't think too much about going and selling it."
PowerbyProxi, which has developed wireless charging systems for devices such as smartphones and television remotes, is using a bit of Kiwi ingenuity to leverage the CES without having to wear the cost of exhibiting at the event.
The Auckland-based firm has set up a "demo suite" in a room at the hotel next door to the convention centre in which the CES is being held. With so many major consumer technology players in town for the event, PowerbyProxi is holding meetings with potential customers in the suite.
"It's just a much more cost effective and targeted way for a company like ours to get great results from an event like CES," executive chairman Greg Cross told the Business Herald from Las Vegas. He said the company had provided samples of its technology to consumer technology manufacturers over the past few months.
He said PowerbyProxi also took part in a major media event at the show, where it demonstrated its products to reporters from all over the world. "That was a full-on three hours of talking non-stop to journalists and we've had a number of them come back for further interviews."
PowerbyProxi, which has also developed wireless charging technology for industrial applications, hoped to have its consumer technology on the market within the next 12 months, Cross said.
Technology commentator Peter Griffin, also in Las Vegas for the event, said Kiwi firms had never had a strong presence at the CES.
"Since Navman [the GPS maker co-founded by Maire] was broken up we haven't really had a big consumer electronics brand coming out of New Zealand," he said.
Andy Hamilton, chief executive of Auckland business growth centre The Icehouse, said he was glad that at least three Kiwi companies were in Las Vegas for the show.
"I don't know whether we have that many consumer app-type technology companies, which is what [the CES] has shifted to," Hamilton said. "Should there be more [New Zealand firms] there? There probably should be but people just don't see the opportunity."
