Knaus Plays A NASCAR TV Doubleheader
Monday's NASCAR TV started at 5PM with the one hour "roundtable" version of ESPN2's NASCAR Now.
Allen Bestwick has been ESPN's ironman this season and he played host this week to Ray Evernham, Boris Said and Mike Massaro. While Carl Edwards winning in Atlanta was the first order of business, it was clear that the panel was itching to talk about the big decision made by Chad Knaus late in the race.
After the highlights were run, Bestwick welcomed Knaus to the program by satellite from Charlotte. His interview went well, and Knaus was able to review for Bestwick the decision-making process that helped him and Jimmie Johnson to wind-up with a second place finish in dramatic fashion.
As Knaus talked to Bestwick, there was something very familiar about his surroundings. While NASCAR Now has a bad habit of not identifying the location of the program's guests, this one was easy to figure out. The bright lighting and the red stripe on the wall behind Knaus told veteran NASCAR fans that someone was double-dipping on this Monday afternoon.
Knaus was comfortably sitting on SPEED's This Week In NASCAR set while doing a liveshot with NASCAR Now on ESPN2. That may be the ultimate in guest sharing. The only thing that could have made the Knaus appearance on ESPN2 more fun is if Michael Waltrip had made a surprise appearance.
Bestwick led a tight hour with good conversation, but this panel misses Ricky Craven and that is now very clear. Boris Said is a great guy, but he is not really active in the sport right now and is being asked to comment on issues with which he is not familiar.
The only blemish in this show was ESPN refusing to promote the fact that this week SPEED is stepping-in to covering the Nationwide Series practice and qualifying. Imagine, dumping the on-air promotion for your only exclusive NASCAR series because another network is helping with coverage. Talk about a bad decision at this time of the year.
Knaus then changed into his SPEED shirt and teamed with Michael Waltrip and host Steve Byrnes for This Week in NASCAR. The show is relaxed and this week Waltrip gave Knaus a lot of room to operate. Credit goes to Waltrip for taking a backseat this week and being an asset to the program with his experience.
Byrnes is still tasked with far too many sponsored features including the goofy Chase profile. This week the TWIN gang had a very informative discussion about the Atlanta race because two of the major stories were on the set.
Waltrip had taken the ESPN on ABC crew by surprise with his consistent charges up through the field on Sunday and it seemed that he may finally get a moment in the sunshine.
As fans have seen before with the high-riding veteran, a tangle with the wall ended his day. Byrnes and Knaus were supportive, but let Waltrip off the hook where his multiple late race incidents were concerned.
Tony Stewart's car chief was very briefly profiled in this program and then Stewart's miserable weekend in Atlanta was next. Once again, this strange feature forced both the Nationwide and Craftsman Truck Series highlights to be extremely brief. TWIN should have recapped the new sponsorship of the Truck Series by Camping World, given the fact that all the races are on SPEED.
Humpy Wheeler was along to talk about the huge track called Texas World Speedway that exists in College Station, TX. I had the pleasure of working on both ARCA and SCCA events at that track. It was amazing to see a structure that big in the middle of nowhere. Wheeler's insight continues to suggest a TV series for him in the future.
Monday proved to be a good day for NASCAR TV and a very good day for Chad Knaus. His professional profile is at an all-time high and his first season on TWIN has allowed him to show a part of his personality that most fans had not seen before.
Both shows will be back next week. Bestwick will have Evernham, Said and Massaro returning at 5PM ET. Byrnes will have Chad Knaus back next week but Waltrip is taking the night off. SPEED promises Waltrip's replacement will be a special guest, so your guess is as good as mine. DW anyone?

Why didn't anyone follow up on MW's throwaway comment (? was it really an aside) that Logano might not be in the 20 next year? I believe he mentioned Spencer as the source.

I wondered about the Spencer comment, too
Also MIKEY I will so MISS you next week!! What's up with him missing two shows....I LOVE when he is on the show.
Could it be dear Schrader? Nah, we couldn't be that lucky.
Don't know if it was my fatigue but didn't they wait a few minutes to shove, I mean put the Chase piece in the show? I enjoyed the conversation tonight a lot.
I wish this show were on year round. Monday nights with Steve and Mikey and company is fun.

Random note here, but that Texas track looked awesome.. too bad they don't race there.
Entertaining TWIN tonight.. I also wonder about the Logano comment.

Here is my total guess short list:
Jimmie Johnson
Anyone else?

That track in Texas was awesome and it is a shame that we don't race there. I would rather see Ricky Craven anytime over Boris Sedd. I think that Boris tries to be a know it all and knows little or nothing and his ego is right up there with Rusty Wallace's. I did not get to see TWIN tonight and would like to know what they mean by Lagono not being in the 20 car next year. I thought tht was a done deal with sponsorship and everything else that goes along with it. If the source is Jimmy Spencer, I would suspect its validity.

I was happy to see Krista and Ralph Sheheen co-hosting The Speed Report last night. They worked very well together a few years back on a Speed show and they still work well together. :)
I heard or read somewhere that Logano would probably be part-time next year in Cup and I cannot think of who they were matching him with...? (If it comes to me I will add it here.) :)
Dave Despain was on a roll last night with his election campaign and celebrating Robin Miller's birthday with Junior taking him around Charlotte Wednesday for "ragging on" Nascar. :) Sometimes you would just like to be a fly on the sun visor, but I don't think that they make helmets and firesuits that small. :) Marybeth
PS I liked Stacy Compton on NN last year as a guest.

Maybe Greg Biffle again, but Greg seemed a little upset with Jimmie with the start of yesterday's race. So maybe not. Probably another Chase driver, I'd personally love to see Tony.

Those are all good guesses JD. In my mind, Jimmie Johnson makes the most sense for the special guest out of those you listed. It'd be interesting to see if he and Chad have a different dynamic away from the racetrack.

Didn't watch NN. Kinda glad I didn't, I really had my fill of the ESPN love affair with the 48Sunday.
Mikey's comment about the 20 car was probably nixed. It had already been clarified by Bob Dillner on the Speed report Sunday. Mikey must have opened mouth before getting the story.
Not to exciting a show for me this week. I usually think Mikey is to loud and over the top, but the show is kinda dull without his excitement.
The special driver/crew-member segments seem out of place. Could do without them and replace with more on the trucks and Nationwide cars. I now know why Tony was so quite on the radio. You could hear crickets chirping most of the time.
It would have been classy to had a clip of David R. after the race. Following up on Mikey repeating DR's comment. David was disapointed, but showing someone on tv with those values, I think, would have been good for the sport and tv.
I do agree Steve has TOO many promo's to do. Does it really cost that much to get Chad and Michael to do the show? I guess they get paid, but I wouldn't think it would be much. They both should get more in sponsorship than the job would pay. (just my thinking)
As said elsewhere, TWIN had another opportunity to promote the only NASCAR races they show, and with the news of a new sponsor it would have been an excellent time for it. But they blew it, again.
I'll still take a good or bad Speed program over any ESPN show. Well racin' related show, I still don't watch anything on Speed during the week.
Doug Richert ?
Humpy Wheeler ?
Dale Jarrett ?
Larry Mac ?

I know this is the wrong place for this, but I read TDP every day, and just now got the chance to read todays post.
I think was was last week it was said that PE would get back the #44and if Kyle even ran a part time deal it would in the #45, and I thought if Chad got the ride it would be in the #44. This would be the respectful thing to do for Kyle, and Adam. I guess BV said no.
I like Kyle, and he wants to still drive, but I think he should get on with the TV stuff, and the camp. Great comments by all on this Petty deal.

TWIN was really good tonight. I'm really liking Mikey & Chad. I forgot to DVR NN. Since I read here earlier that Boris was on, I'm not sad that I missed it. Let's hope he finds a ride (not NASCAR) next year and we won't have to see him. Craven would be a good fit. And doesn't he live up there somewhere? I agree w/Majorshouse about his comment about Boris. Btw, did he wear a tie today?
Interesting tidbit about Logano. Are they finally figuring it out that he may not be ripe enough for Cup? I think it's a good move to pair him with a vet. Who might that be? My first thought was Bobby Labonte. He may need a ride next year with what's going on w/Petty and Dodge. I don't think he burned any bridges at Gibbs. Stranger things have happened.
My dream guest for TWIN would be Ken Schrader.

What's the deal with Evernham? Don't get me wrong, I like Ray but how can a man with the knowledge he has sit back and watch the 2 drivers he recruited, that showed loyalty to him through the most difficult year of his life, drop like rocks and not do anything to help these guys with their race teams? If he is still part of GEM, and he says he is, he needs to get over the "Jeff Gordon" loss he seems to be reverting back to and fix the problems happening to #9 and #19. These guys handed their future to him and he has dumped them in the trash and as a fan of the teams I am sickened by his praises of the other drivers while these drivers fight ill-handling cars and spin-out across the track. Thanks for the returned loyalty Ray! The fans appreciate it.

Hello from Yerevan!! (I was in Moscow earlier, but now you can add Armenia to list of readership countries!!) I can no longer get the SPEED channel from here (was using TVU in Moscow), so rely totally on your posts to "watch" the show. If any of you have any ideas (or know of other online sources) to see the show, I'd love to know.
As I'm a huge MW fan, I guess it won't be so bad for me when I miss next week's show.

My first guess for next week's TWIN guest was Jimmie Johnson...I believe Chad had said he would bring a special guest. What a treat it would be to get a little insight on how the 48 works its magic. Hey, guys, this year's championship battle is history making...why not spotlight a driver who had been doing his job under the radar for so long. He deserves it!

It will be kind of nice not seeing Mikey. I used to be afan, but he seems to think that he has arrived and let's face it, He is not his brother and his blantant goffiness is just too over the top and I have better things to do than listen to that.

If you all feel that two from the 48 would be too much, then Johnny Benson, Ken Schrader, or DW would be great. DW, as a past Cup Champion, would bring a lot to the table, and it sure would be good to hear his views while history is being made. The fact that someone is even in the running for a 3-peat is history making in itself.
Ricky Craven is another one I would like to see, but he is on another network.

I would like to see Jimmie interviewed. I would like to hear more of his personal life. We got a lot of insight into Jr thru his "Changing Gears", it would be fun to know the real JJ. By the way, did he ever sign a long-term contract with HMS?
Their whole garage is kind of interesting--there don't seem to be any prima donnas. Is that because of Rick?

I really enjoyed when Jimmie Johnson was driving in the Truck Series race for Randy Moss and he decided he would be Jim. SPEED interviewed him as a new driver from California and I thought the whole thing was hilarious.
Maybe the fact that Chad has tried SPEED and found it to be a comfortable home will spread a little bit in the #48 camp and Jimmie will be on the show.
Just a guess!

Agreed. He has a track record of speaking without thinking and mkaing his opinion sound as if it's fact.

It was a solid show last night. When Michael made the comment about the #20 and Spencer, I wondered if there was some sort of inside joke or reference to something the others on the panel understood even if we didn't, but not necessarily that he was literally saying that according to Spencer Logano wouldn't be in the #20 next season.
Sure will miss Michael when he's not on next week! Jimmie Johnson was very loose and relaxed on the XM show he had last season - he showed not only a lot more personality than he usually does at the track but a great sense of humor as well. So I think he'd be great as a guest panelist on TWiN... but only if he was as willing to show that much personality.

First, I remind everyone that Spencer was the first to break the news about the Chase on Inside Nextel Cup after a conversation with Brian France and Alan Bestwick thought he was nuts.

I can't believe there's no discussion about the changes at MW's team. They hire Hallam from McLaren F1, a talented experienced guy in F1 but no Cup experience, then fire Warren...yet no mention of any of this!

I can refer you to several TDP columns talking about this "wall of silence" for guys like Waltrip, Ray Evernham and Brad Daugherty.
As one earlier poster said, how can you have Ray on NASCAR Now on Monday and not talk about GEM? The whole thing is crumbling, rumors are everywhere and yet he is talking about other drivers as if he is not connected with the sport. It is just flat-out unfair to the viewers.
Same goes for MW. He gets a free pass this season on the new TWIN unless there is something he wants to promote and I just think that is also not right.
The final example is Kyle Petty. The reason I wrote the article about his hat is because no one asked him about it.
If ESPN hires Ray next season again, the network will have three fulltime owners in the Infield Studio. Something has to change.

How could Michael be asked about Nick Hughes replacing Eric Warren as technical director at MWR when the announcement wasn't made until today and TWiN tapes yesterday? And just how many fans actually even care about personnel moves that don't involve drivers, crew chiefs or owners? As a fan of Michael and MWR I'd love it if TWiN had an entire segment or more every single week devoted to nothing but discussion about Michael and MWR - after all, they're involved in every Nationwide and Cup race so technically they make news every single week, and Michael certainly has plenty to say on his XM show about what's happening for himself and his teams so he seems more than willing to talk at length about everything. But I'm just guessing there would be quite a few complaints from those who already think Michael talks too much about his own interests from his teams to Toyota to his sponsors. Seems to me this is one of those things that no matter it's handled, whether the questions are asked or not, and no matter how forthcoming the answers are, someone will say they're still handling it wrong.

I thought I recognized the chair Chad was sitting in but couldn't believe they would film him from the Speed set but the shot was very tight which is unusual so I was really wondering. NN needs Ricky Craven or JB to be there and not Boris he just doesn't know what going on anymore. I though TWIN was great, I was surprised since Mikey's day ended badly and Reut's wasn't much better. Did enjoyed the car chief piece(I always wondered what they actually did) but it didn't belong on TWIN and shortened the NW and Truck coverage. I would be thrilled to see JJ as the special guest but some how I doubt it, but maybe Jim from the Truck race can make it.

I'm shocked to look at the calender.
Today is 1 year since my first post.
Now, 365 days and 615 posts later, here I am.
I started writing this just to bitch. I had no idea so many others would enjoy it.
In 1 year I've gone from 1 daily reader (me) and zero blogger followers to 2800 daily readers and 231 Blogger followers.
And all I can say is THANK YOU, to all of you. Your comments and emails and idea/story contributions have made this more fun than I EVER dreamed it would be.
I'll keep writing as long as it's fun and the patients give me reasons too. Which will likely be a long time.

Don't Develop GUI Tests, Teach Your App To Test Itself!
While developing native GTK- and Cocoa-based versions of the Plastic GUI, my team and I faced the challenge of developing a new test suite.
But instead of adopting a couple of new tools, one for Linux and one for Mac, we decided to teach the GUIs to test themselves. Read on to find out how.
To GUI Test or To Unit Test
New code brings the opportunity to reduce the number of GUI tests by introducing more unit tests, which is always a good option since GUI tests tend to be slower and more fragile.
But, at the end of the day, we decided that having some GUI tests would prevent user interface issues, so the challenge was to reduce the development cost (considering one GUI would be GTK based and the other one Cocoa based).
Welcome to GUI Test Hell
We've used a commercial GUI test package in the past for most of our Windows-based GUI testing. I won't reveal the name here since basically I'm stating that we're not totally happy with it.
The main problems we faced were:
- It was slow.
- It failed to detect false positives.
- It was hard to maintain since it was not written in a production language, but rather in some sort of scripting language.
Initially (years ago), the situation was even worse: We "recorded" the tests using one of the great "record and we'll auto generate the test code" features that every decent GUI testing tool includes.
Don't do that!
Auto-generated code is crap and you'll regret it each time you make a change.
I don't know about non-product-oriented code: I mean, you develop your project in 5 months, release it to the customer, and forget it (lucky you!). In that instance, auto-recording probably makes sense. For a long-running project like Plastic, it definitely doesn't. Clean, well-organized code is always a better choice.
The Fundamental Problem of GUI Testing Toolkits
Here's basic problem we always faced with the tools we used: Sometimes the testing framework won't be able to find a control, for some obscure reason, and the test will fail. You repeat the test and it works, but you'll have a false positive.
It also happens in a different form: Sometimes it takes seconds for a visual control to become "visible" for the testing toolkit, slowing down the entire test execution.
Initially, we thought it was a product issue, but then we tried the UI Automation APIs that were included in Windows long ago. We used them through White and we ended up with exactly the same issue: Sometimes a control was not "visible" for the test code, not even UI Spy, the native app, was able to detect it.
This was frustrating, so when we started the GTK/Cocoa GUI code, we wanted to try something different.
GUI Test Cheating: Do It Yourself
Basically, the premise for this development was:
- What are the issues with GUI tests? Control detection and ease of development and maintenance.
- How can we fix them? Well, let's avoid having to "find" the controls, and instead make them always available. Then, let's use our favorite language and environment to write the test code.
We also tried the following idea (which we still don't know whether it is 100% valid or not, but it is working so far): Load the test code "inside" the app so a different thread runs the test while the main GUI thread responds to events. This way, the "test thread" can access the "visible controls" using some predefined interfaces for each dialog, window, table (grid), and so on, do actual clicks sending events, and easily check the results of the actions being performed.
We created a few tests and it actually looked promising:
- The test code was written in C#, our main production language, so every developer feels at home with it.
- The environment to launch tests would be the same we use for Unit Tests and command-line automation tests: our own PNUnit, a "parallel" extension we contributed to NUnit eons ago and still use and evolve today. It allows us to distribute tests among different machines, coordinate tests involving several clients and servers on different platforms, and so on. While all this is supported by any modern commercial GUI test package, using our own system made us feel at home.
- It runs fast, we didn't have to wait for controls to become visible, and we never missed a control.

Director Alexander Payne has delivered a steady stream of noteworthy films during his career, including "Election," "About Schmidt," "Sideways," and more recently, "The Descendants." The Omaha native has set some of his movies in the Cornhusker State and he's retuned to his home turf with his latest effort – "Nebraska" – a bittersweet story about family.
The movie -- which is filmed entirely in black and white -- begins in Billings, Mont. "Saturday Night Live" alum Will Forte plays David Grant, a slightly down-on-his-luck home theatre salesman. His girlfriend has broken up with him, and he's dealing with his aging father whose grip on reality is starting to slip away. Woody, played by veteran actor Bruce Dern, has received some junk mail announcing that he's a big winner in a magazine subscription sweepstakes. He wants to go to Lincoln, Neb., and claim the prize, and his son decides to go on a road trip with him to satisfy this quest.
The film begins quite slowly. That, plus the theme of an aging parent, might make some audiences start to fear that the movie will become a depressing downer. But as the men stop in the small Nebraskan town where the father used to live, the story shifts into a more interesting gear. They encounter old friends, crazy relatives and a scheming former business associate. When the locals mistakenly start believing that Dern's character has struck it rich, a lot of maneuvering starts taking place and old jealousies bubble to the surface. It's a well-nuanced script written by Bob Nelson, whose primary previous credit was as a writer on Magic Johnson's long-ago talk show.
Director Payne made some fascinating and effective casting choices. Will Forte – best known to some for his MacGruber skits on SNL -- doesn't seem like a natural choice to play the son. The role requires the balancing of comedy with a lot of tender emotion, but Forte pulls it off. The actor got the part after sending Payne an audition tape that won over the director.
For the role of the father, Payne initially wanted to lure Gene Hackman out of retirement, but after the veteran actor passed, he cast Dern, another Oscar winner.
His part is probably the most challenging, as he has to play a character who doesn't have a lot of dialogue and is often kind of out of it, but who also has fierce determination. Dern accomplishes much with just his eyes, and the occasional brilliant line. His performance earned him the Best Actor Award at the Cannes Film Festival.
The supporting cast is also wonderful, and includes Stacy Keach as the obnoxious former business partner, and Bob Odenkirk as the Woody's other son. The real scene stealer, however, is June Squibb as the long-suffering but very protective wife. She delivers one devastating line after another when she arrives in her old hometown and tells everyone – alive or dead – what she really thinks of them.
She may have earned herself a Best Supporting Actress nomination.
Payne also cast a lot of non-professional actors in small supporting roles as various local townspeople, and their faces and expressions are a priceless addition to the movie. The film is also beautifully shot, and the black and white helps to make the images of small towns, fields, and farms look stunning.
"Nebraska" is a thoughtful film which means it probably won't be a big commercial hit, but it's a movie that's touching, often hilarious, and well worth seeing.

The final season of fan-favorite "Psych," a show about an observant detective pretending to be a psychic, is on DVD this week.
"Psych" has come to an end, but it lives on in DVD form as the final season arrives on home video this week along with a slew of other TV shows. "Psych: The Eighth and Final Season" (Universal/USA, 2013-14, three discs, $59.98, 10 episodes, bonus episode: "Psych: The Musical," deleted/extended scenes, featurettes, montages, music video, podcasts, bloopers). The interplay between Shawn (James Roday) and Gus (Dule Hill) gets even wackier and sillier (if that's possible) as the show winds down in this final season of the comedy-mystery series about a slacker with Sherlock Holmes-level skills pretending to be a psychic. But in the end, it takes a poignant turn as Shawn must decide if he loves Jules (Maggie Lawson) enough to make radical changes in his life. A nice farewell to a beloved series that made enough pop-culture references over eight seasons to fill 100 other shows. Funny, sweet and filled with memorable, perfectly cast characters. (Guests include Mira Sorvino, Bruce Campbell, Loretta Devine and Tom Arnold.) "George Gently: Series 6" (Acorn/Blu-ray, 2014, two discs, $59.99, four episodes, featurettes, text interviews, photo gallery). Thoughtful mystery-thriller series set in rural England during the 1960s that fans worried about when both principles were shot at the end of Series 5. The episode ended with their fates unknown, and the show had not yet been renewed for another season. But here we are. The title police officer (perfectly played by Martin Shaw) is a seasoned homicide detective with integrity (which has gotten him in trouble), as well as wisdom and compassion, while his younger partner (Lee Ingleby), a jaded punk who is ready to quit as this season begins, is decidedly harder to like. All four feature-length mysteries here are solid, although one about the military doing secretive LSD experiments is particularly moving. Trivia note: Although the title is merely "George Gently" on the box, each episode's opening title is "Inspector George Gently." A small thing, but nitpicking is my life. "Broadchurch: The Complete First Season" (BBC, 2013, three discs, $39.98, eight episodes). Exceptional British murder-mystery series about two police detectives (David Tennant and Olivia Colman, both excellent) attempting to find the killer of an 11-year-old boy whose body is found on a stretch of beach in the titular town on the Dorset coast. The detectives have an adversarial relationship and the small town of Broadchurch is torn apart by the investigation. With a show such as this, characters and ambience are as crucial as plotting, and this show percolates on every level. "Here's Lucy: The Complete Series" (MPI, 1968-74, 24 discs, $159.98, 144 episodes, introductions, featurettes, home movies, guest appearances, slide shows, production files, promos, sponsor billboards). If you're a fan of Lucille Ball, her third sitcom (after "I Love Lucy" and "The Lucy Show") is a real treat, co-starring Gale Gordon; her real-life daughter and son, Lucie Arnaz and Desi Arnaz Jr.; and Mary Jane Croft. Lots of laughs and guest stars galore, including Johnny Carson, Carol Burnett, Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton, Andy Griffith, Joan Rivers, Jack Benny, Don Knotts, Eva Gabor, Liberace, Donny Osmond, Ann-Margret, Flip Wilson and many more. "Medical Center: The Complete Fourth Series" (Warner Archive, 1972-73, six discs, $49.95, 24 episodes). Chad Everett and James Daly return as, respectively, a younger, more impetuous doctor and an older, wiser surgeon, in a Los Angeles university hospital in this long-running dramatic series. Guests include John Ritter, Stefanie Powers, Larry Hagman, Geraldine Page, Dean Jagger, Barbara Feldon, Jessica Walter, Bill Bixby, George Chakiris, Diana Muldaur, Gilbert Roland, William Devane, Lola Albright, Susan Oliver, Ruth Buzzi and Tom Bosley. (Available at warnerarchive.com) "Dean Martin Celebrity Roasts: Fully Roasted" (StarVista, 1973-78, six discs, $59.95, 17 episodes, comedy skits from Martin's variety series, featurettes). Another volume of Martin's "roast" episodes, each featuring a beloved celebrity subjected to scripted insult comedy from other celebs (though going off-script is a common occurrence). It's mostly comics, of course, but also actors adept at delivering one-liners, and many of the zingers are fall-down funny. Roastees include Betty White, Ronald Reagan, Muhammad Ali, Angie Dickinson, Zsa Zsa Gabor, Suzanne Somers, George Burns, etc., and roasters include Jack Benny, Bob Newhart, Henry Fonda, Jonathan Winters, Billy Crystal, Orson Welles, etc. "The Story of Medicine: Pain, Pus & Poison" (Athena, 2013, two discs, $39.99, three episodes, short documentaries; 16-page booklet). British documentary miniseries explores how drugs have revolutionized medicine over the past 200 years and reveals that luck has had as much to do with it as genius. "Green Lantern: The Animated Series" (Warner Archive/Blu-ray, 2011, two discs, $25.95, 26 episodes). This DC Comics superhero TV show aired on the Cartoon Network cable channel for one season, with the title character heading into space to help fellow Green Lanterns battle the evil Red Lanterns. (Available at warnerarchive.com) "Power Rangers: Seasons 13-17" (Shout!, 2005-09, 22 discs, $129.99, 166 episodes, featurettes). Fans of this live-action series will be salivating over this heavy-duty box set, which includes the seasons titled "S.P.D.," "Mystic Force," "Operation Overdrive," "Jungle Fury" and "RPM," as our heroes take on the Troobian Empire, sorceress Udonna and the computer virus Venjix, among other challenges. "Saban's Power Rangers Turbo: Volume One" (Shout!, 1997, three discs, $19.93, 23 episodes). Live-action kids' series about five Turbo Rangers using their powers, weapons and vehicles at supercharged hyperspeeds.%3Cimg%20src%3D%22http%3A//beacon.deseretconnect.com/beacon.gif%3Fcid%3D156219%26pid%3D46%22%20/%3E

Yay! Finally my pictures from last weekend's makeup show! In case you missed it, read the blogger preview post.
The objective of the Makeup Show LA of course was the Blogger Forum which was amazing because I saw a lot of familiar faces in the crowd (other gorgeous beauty bloggers!), and it was fun to talk to the audience about blogging in general.
I met so many familiar faces and like I said before, it was a great experience to finally meet my "virtual friends" who have become like sisters to me. On the blogger forum: Elke, Robyn from Purely Cosmetics, and Felicia from Thisthatbeauty.com.
Of course in addition to the wonderful gals I met at the Blogger Preview, I also saw Anne of Yummiebitez.com, reader Ingrid, the flawless Seymone, and Audrey from Fabuless Beauty; as well as many other fabulous ladies! We also saw Ongina from RuPaul's Dragrace!
Anyway, I will let the pictures speak for themselves and discuss each company as I go along(some pics are clickable to enlarge)...here are a couple videos of celebrity MUA James Vincent at the Crown Brush booth telling us what his favorite brushes are!
First, let's start of with getting READY for the show, stylist Tatiana came over and did our hair (Erica and myself), she is AWESOME with cut, color, and updo's and is in the LA area, so if you are interested in her services, let me know!
The OUTFIT!
At breakfast:
I loved the view!
Chaos at the Crown Brush booth (clickable):
Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics:
Model in a Bottle! (makeup setting spray, CLICK HERE for my review)
Powderpuff Beauty is an awesome company that allows you to create your own custom palette, you choose the colors and ta-da! Here are the lovely owners:
Eve Pearl's Cosmetic Line:
At Eve Pearl's Seminar at the show, she covered false eyelash application techniques, how-to's, etc. I highly recommend that you visit her Makeup Experience Studio & Boutique if you are ever in New York! She knows her stuff!
Her seminar was packed with bodies!
This is ALL body paint and glitter!
Freaky huh!?
Shoes are cute...but not with that thing!
A model getting an airbrushed tattoo:
The Smashbox booth:
Make Up For Ever Booth:
This ENTIRE bag costs over $300!
Me and some of the beauty blogger babes!
Me and Audrey (Fabuless Beauty)
Group shot (from Audrey), I am always the odd one... :(
Me and Anne (Yummiebitez)
Me and Robyn (Purely Cosmetics)
Me and the stunning Ingrid
The beautiful (and tall!) Brenda from Cover FX:
Robyn goofing off with her "tiny" eyeliner brush before the forum:
So what did I haul? Parian Spirit Brush Cleaner Kit for only $20! Comes with the cleaner jar, brush wipes, brush cleaner spray, and a huge bottle of brush cleaner, (yes once I use these items I WILL do a review!), Makeup Forever Concealer Palette #1 (since it was a nice 40% off at the show!), and some Crown Brushes of course! See I was good!
Parian Spirit Demo:
I don't know the exact style number of these brushes, but I am sure you can tell what kind of brushes they are... :) (Click to enlarge)

anything that i must check out when i go?
do you have any tips for taking advantage of the makeup show? do i need to go both days to see and take in everything? is one day enough?
how long was the panel discussion? i'm so excited for you! i like seeing my fav ppl on panels and doing it up!

Yummy 411:
I get physically tired sometimes at these events, especially when you are there all day just walking around in circles, but it's always fun stopping at all the booths and seeing familiar faces, but yeah after awhile everything does start to look the same in the sense that it's usually always the same companies that attend these kind of shows, and hardly new and upcoming companies have the financial sources or know to exhibit at these shows so we don't hear from them until later on...
I have seen a lot, but I don't feel like I have fully grasped all the products and knowledge that some of these shows/companies have to offer. I think the biggest mistake a show-goer can do is to just go to buy stuff, to me the funnest part is walking around and talking to these people and picking their brains a little bit to see where their creativity comes as a makeup artist, or as a business owner in this industry.
I think you should definitely check out Eve Pearl, the theatrical makeup such as Kryolan, Mehron, etc because they have awesome pigmented makeup, and so does Make Up For Ever. Auraline Beauty is great for makeup palettes, and Crown Brushes has the best affordable, quality makeup brushes on the market right now.
As far as tips for the makeup show, I bring my own big bag I got from another show, and I use it to store all my bought goodies, some shows have their own bags to giveaway, but I bring one just in case so I am not carrying all these bags; wear comfy shoes since you'll be walking around endlessly, prepare to spend a lot since these shows have "show prices" and you can buy things at a good deal, and definitely bring a notepad and paper (and a camera!) to jot down any helpful tips, company names and contacts for future reference so you can always check them out later when you get home.
Certain shows, a one day pass is enough, such as IMATS since it's such a small show, and you can pretty much cover everything in one day; other shows such as IECSC in Vegas is a HUGE show, that you definitely would want to go all 2 or 3 days because they have makeup, spa, hair, and nails at that show, so one day is NOT enough to cover all that goodness!
Our blogger forum panel discussion was about 45 minutes give or take...it didn't feel that long..

I am, just because my face is fat, doesn't mean my body is obese, and I just started working out a month ago, you don't get immediate results...only in a perfect world. And for the record, I am at 123 lbs. that's definitely NOT fat for my height at 5'6".

Your outfit is so cute! where did you get it all?
I was also wondering if you had seen the new ulta 64 piece spring color collection. How big are the eyeshadows? Is it worth the money if that's all I want it for?

- or installed into an existing eclipse via the Eclipse Installation Manager (Help > Install new software...).
See the PTP download page; check regularly there for new releases, too. The current released version of PTP is 6.0.x.
See the PTP 6.0 release notes for detailed instructions on how to install PTP.
Q: What version of Eclipse and CDT do I need?
PTP 5.0 is designed to work with Eclipse 4.2 (Juno) and CDT 8.1.x. (The all-in-package referenced above now takes care of this for you.)
PTP 5.0 is designed to work with Eclipse 3.7.x (Indigo) and CDT 8.0.x. (The all-in-package referenced above now takes care of this for you.)
PTP 4.0 is designed to work with Eclipse 3.6.x (Helios) and CDT 7.0.x.
PTP 3.0 is designed to work with Eclipse 3.5.x (Galileo) and CDT 6.0.2.
Q: What version of MPI do I need to run PTP?
PTP supports the following MPI runtimes:
- Open MPI 1.2.x, 1.3.x, or 1.4.x
- MPICH2 1.0.6p1
- IBM's Parallel Environment (PE)
The most recent OpenMPI (1.4.x) is recommended for PTP 4.0.x and 5.0.x, although it may work with older releases.
For the Parallel Language Development Tools only, there should be no difference between the different versions of MPI, such as OpenMPI and LamMPI. You just need to configure your project to be built using mpicc rather than gcc (for MPI releases that require that; most do), and to specify the include path to the MPI header files. This should be described in the PLDT help.
Q: What platforms and runtimes are supported by PTP now?
The current release of PTP runs on Linux, MacOS X, and Windows. PTP only supports target systems running Linux, MacOS X, and some kinds of Unix (e.g. AIX).
The Parallel Language Development Tools will run anywhere Eclipse and CDT will run. It may require a version of MPI (specifically, its header files) to aid in the search for MPI artifacts. And an OpenMP header file, if OpenMP analysis is needed. This means you can develop and analyze source files but you can't launch them.
The Remote Development Tools can be used on Linux, MacOS X, and Windows.
Q: How do I install Open MPI?
You may already have it installed. Try running the following command and check the output:
If this doesn't work, download the latest version from the Open MPI site.
Unpack the distribution and run the commands (note that you may have to add extra options to configure to suit your local site - see the Open MPI help documentation for more information):
./configure --prefix=/path/to/your/ompi/install make make install
At this point it's a good idea to run a small mpi program to test you have installed Open MPI correctly.
mpicc -o testMPI testMPI.c mpirun -np 2 testMPI
Q: How do I build PTP myself?
See the PTP Environment Setup instructions
Q: How do I ask questions about PTP?
Subscribe to the PTP Mailing lists, especially ptp-user, and ask questions there. This is an excellent place to ask new-user questions. The ptp-user list is watched by most of our PTP developers as well as many users, and you can share in their experience. See http://www.eclipse.org/ptp/mailing_lists.php
Q: How do find out more about PTP?
- Read the PTP Help documentation from the PTP Website or download it and read the help within your PTP installation.
- Download slides from previous PTP tutorials
- Ask questions on the mailing lists: See http://www.eclipse.org/ptp/mailing_lists.php
Q: What's the most recent version of PTP?
The current released version is 5.0.x.
See the announcements on http://eclipse.org/ptp which should indicate the latest release number. As of October 18, 2011 this is 5.0.3.
The most accurate latest release number is whatever is found on the update site at http://download.eclipse.org/tools/ptp/updates/indigo.
Q: How do I install the most recent released version of PTP?
There is an all-in-one installation package, and update sites for you to install PTP into your own installation of Eclipse.
The all-in-one installation is the easiest way to install PTP and it can be installed
- from the all-in-one package "Eclipse for Parallel Application Developers" on the Eclipse downloads page
There are two update sites:
- The Eclipse Juno update site http://download.eclipse.org/releases/juno contains all the Eclipse projects (as of June 27, 2012 it contains PTP 6.0.0)
- The PTP-specific update site http://download.eclipse.org/tools/ptp/updates/juno may have a more recent release (As of June 29, 2012 it contains PTP 6.0.1)
- Update Sites
- The Juno update site (http://download.eclipse.org/releases/juno) contains the last release of PTP that was built into the Eclipse general update site. Eclipse Juno updates are released only in September and February. This update site (a.k.a. software repository) is enabled by default when you install Eclipse Juno (a.k.a. 4.2).
- Help > Install New Software.... and install PTP from there
- Help > Check for Updates will find the updates for all your installed features that are found there.
- PTP maintains its own PTP-specific update site with the most recent release of PTP. Bug fix releases can be more frequent than the main Eclipse.
You must enable the PTP-specific update site before the updates will be found.
- Enable the PTP-specific update site
- Help > Install new software...
- Click Available Software Sites link
- Enable/check the PTP site:
- http://download.eclipse.org/tools/ptp/updates/juno
- If you had this checked before, and a release happened recently, hit the 'Reload' button while this site is selected. Or if things just don't seem to be refreshing correctly: It can't hurt!
- Choose OK and then Cancel to return to the Eclipse workbench, and ...
- Now do the update
- Select Help > Check for updates
- Follow prompts like a normal installation
- Select Help > Check for updates
- Enable the PTP-specific update site
Q: How do I update my PTP within the package "Eclipse IDE for Parallel Application Developers" ?
See PTP/release_notes/6.0#Updating_from_the_Parallel_Package_to_a_more_recent_release
Q: I want to live a bit on the bleeding edge. How do I install a more recent PTP build, e.g. to get a bug fix ?
Go to the PTP builds page and find the page for your release (e.g. if you have 4.0.x, find the page with the largest value of x) and download the archive file (ptp-master-xxx) then use that in the Help > Install New Software... dialog.
Q: When I launch a parallel job how do I stop it from building everything in my workspace ?
Open Preferences (Window > Preferences or on a Mac, Eclipse > Preferences), Open Run/Debug / Launching Under "General Options" on that page, Uncheck "Build (if required) before launching"
Q: How do I customize the new (JAXB) Configurable Resource Manager?
A detailed guide to the XML Schema for the new Configurable Resource Manager, along with an introductory tutorial slide-set demonstrating some simple modifications to an existing XML definition, are now available at PTP/resource-managers.
To take an existing JAXB-based resource manager and be able to tweak it, you can import it and change the xml data yourself. To do this:
- Go to Import..., then open Resource Managers>Resource Manager Definition From Plug-in.
- Choose the Resource Manager you want to clone (e.g. PBS-Generic-Batch) RM from the combo.
- This should create a new project in your workspace called resourceManagers.
- Expand the resourceManagers folder created. The name of the file is what the 'name' of the Resource manager is derived from. Rename it if you like. Spaces in the name are OK, e.g "My RM.xml"
- Double click on the xml file to open it in an editor.
- Example of a PBS change: Go to the end of the file, and change line 828 from '<monitor-data schedulerType="TORQUE">' to '<monitor-data schedulerType="PBS">'.
- Save the file.
Now, to use the new Resource Manager
- Go to the System Monitoring perspective and add a new RM.
- Use the definition you just edited (should have "(1)" after the name, unless you renamed the file).
If you're planning to change the XML after you have used it to create a RM,
- Go to Preferences then select Parallel Tools>Resource Managers> Configurable Resource Manager
- Check the "Always load XML from URL" option.
- Stopping and restarting the RM will then reload the new definition.
See this bug: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=293720
Q: How do I use PTP to connect to a remote system via an intermediate host (multi hop)
You would first create the tunnel using a command such as:
ssh -L 22222:<target-host>:22 <intermediate-userid>@<intermediate-host>
where <intermediate-host> is the host name of the intermediate system and <target-host> is the host name of the target system. The first port number (22222) can be any port number greater than 1024 that is not already being used. Use <intermediate-userid>@ if the userid is different from your local system. The second port number must be 22. Once a connection is established to <intermediate-host>, you will need to leave this session connected while you're using PTP. In the resulting session, if you issue the command 'hostname' you should see the value for the intermediate-host system.
Next, when you configure a new resource manager, create a new connection (using Remote Tools) and specify the host name as 'localhost'. Click on the 'Advanced' button, and change the port number from 22 to the number you specified in the command above.
Use this same connection when configuring a remote or synchronized project.
Sample Confirmation
As a confirmation of the tunneling being set up correctly, you can do the following in another terminal window:
ssh -p 22222 <target-userid>@localhost
And in the resulting session, the command 'hostname' should match the target-host system.
Q: Eclipse doesn't seem to find commands for [compiler, make, ...]
If you get an error, e.g. in the console, saying something cannot be found, such as:
error /bin/sh: ifort: not found make: *** [test.o] Error 127
Then it likely means that the required command cannot be found in your PATH environment variable, e.g. ifort in this case.
If you are starting Eclipse from a shell make sure the path to the command is specified for the PATH environment variable in your login script. (Note: reference interactive shell vs. non-interactive shell below in next FAQ item)
If you are starting Eclipse from a Linux window manager (Gnome, KDE, etc.) then consult your window manager documentation for information on how to set environment variables.
If you are starting Eclipse from the MacOS X window manager, the PATH must be set by creating a file called
environment.plist in a directory called
.MacOSX in your home directory.
The file should look like this, with [path_from_shell] replaced with the correct path, such as that obtained by the command "echo $PATH" in your shell.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>PATH</key> <string>[path_from_shell]</string> </dict> </plist>
Q. When dealing with my remote system I see an error "Invalid java version or java not installed on "<connection name>""
See the other FAQ items about environment variables. Your userid isn't finding Java in your path.
Remote projects (not synchronized projects) need java on the remote system in order to start the indexing service. So make sure java is in your PATH, and it is accessible from a non-interactive shell (see next FAQ item).
Q: My remote or synchronized project doesn't find the remote environment variables correctly (Interactive vs. non-interactive shell)
Note that communication with your remote host is done via ssh.
Remote Tools needs the proper environment variables in order to find java, compiler, make, etc.
Your environment may be set up correctly for an interactive shell but not for a non-interactive shell. You probably want to set up the same environment for an interactive and non-interactive shell. For example, for bash, there are at least two files ~/.profile and ~/.bashrc. Make sure you know which ones your system uses. Naturally this depends upon what shell you are running.
- ~/.profile or .bash_profile– read by ssh in interactive shell on login
- ~/.bashrc – read by ssh in non-interactive shell on login
Make sure the non-interactive shell is set up properly. Perhaps helpful reference(s):
- Setting SSH Remote Host Environment variables
- Try this from the command line of the machine eclipse is on:
- ssh userid@remotehost command (e.g.
ssh firstname.lastname@example.com ls)
- try the command you are trying to do that is giving you problems, instead of 'ls'
- ssh userid@remotehost command (e.g.
An alternative (works for ksh for at least some of us) is to do the following:
- Modify sshd_config to have "PermitUserEnvironment yes" and reload sshd to use it. You'll need root access to do this.
- Added ~/.ssh/environment to your userid to contain the java path, for example, PATH=/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/opt/java/jre/bin
More notes from ptp-dev discussions
- It depends on which shell you use on the remote machine. Usually the default for Linux is set to bash, but some people like ksh, tcsh, etc. and have their default shell set to that.
- tcsh uses ~/.tcshrc, and if that doesn't exist, it tries ~/.cshrc
- ksh ... appears to use the same file as bash (and sh) - .profile
- bash is recommended!
- Most of the above depends on system configuration for non-interactive shells. Most have it configured to read ~/.bashrc, but not all, and without this setup you may not be able to set the environment.
- Pure Remote Projects (not synchronized projects) need java on the remote server. Here's how to test:
- from your workstation, tunnel via ssh to the remote machine:
ssh email@example.com which java ssh email@example.com java -version
Useful references
- http://www.understudy.net/custom.html - several different shells described, including interactive vs. login shells
Q: I get an 'Internal Error' when the debugger starts on Mac OS X Lion
On Mac OS X Lion (and later) you may see an error similar to the following when you try to start the debugger locally:
Error on tasks: 0 - Internal Error Reason: Debugger error: Unable to find Mach task port for process-id 51470: (os/kern) failure (0x5).
This is because Lion has introduced new security requirements for gdb to work. This article describes the problem and solution in more detail. Note that gdb is installed by default as /usr/libexec/gdb/gdb-i386-apple-darwin. The /usr/bin/gdb command is just a script that invokes this executable.
The simplest solution is to execute the following commands (this assumes that your user is in the procmod group, check using the 'id' command):
chgrp procmod /usr/libexec/gdb/gdb-i386-apple-darwin chmod g+s /usr/libexec/gdb/gdb-i386-apple-darwin
Q: I get the message 'Unable to determine gdb version' when trying to debug a program
Make sure you have the "Path to backend debugger" preference set to the path to the gdb program, not the sdm. See this bug for more details.
==Q: How do I debug the server part of PTP's system monitoring capability? 1. On the remote machine, go to the ".eclipsesettings" directory, located in your home directory 2. Create a file called ".LML_da_options" containing a single line "keeptmp=1" (no quotes).
3. Restart the monitor.
4. You should now find a directory called "tmp_<hostname>_<pid>" in the ".eclipsesettings" directory. It should contain an error log file, plus a bunch of other files. Check these files to see if you can see the cause of the error.
5. Remember to remove the ".LML_da_options" file once you have finished.

Proponents of renewable energy technology are often the first to explain that green energy does more than just reduce carbon dioxide emissions—it also helps produce power without the air pollution linked to health impacts.
Wind and solar energy displace carbon dioxide and "criteria pollutants" like sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and particulates produced by burning fossil fuels. But, if simply displacing these pollutants is all that motivates our support for expanding renewable energy development, a new report suggests that we're going about install all wrong.
Current US renewable energy policy encourages development where the best resources, wind or sunshine, exist to create the most power. But the authors of a new study argue that analyzing the benefits of renewable energy projects should include the environmental cost of the electricity being supplanted.
Basically, if you install a solar array in the sunny Southern California desert, that power mostly replaces electricity made with relatively clean natural gas. In contrast, if you installed the same solar panels in considerably less sunny Ohio, you'd be primarily replacing capacity at a coal-burning power plant, reducing far more air pollutants than in California.
Hard to believe? Here are the stats. A solar panel in Arizona might get the most sunshine, but one in Nebraska displaces 20 percent more carbon dioxide, and one in Ohio provides 15 times the air quality health benefits. A wind turbine in West Virginia prevents 33 times more pollution than one in California.
In this analysis, researchers from Carnegie Mellon University assigned social costs to pollution. For the air pollutants, they used an established model that estimates mortality costs from pollutants at a rate of $6 million per untimely death, and they estimated another cost of $20 per ton of carbon dioxide. Then, they used those costs to estimate the health and environmental impact cost per ton of pollutants at 1400 power plants across the country that burn fossil fuels.
Like all models, this one is based on some assumptions that may not completely represent reality. For example, depending on enforcement of the cap-and-trade system that exists in parts of the eastern US for sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides, those pollutants might not actually be displaced, but shifted to other facilities.
The authors argue that combining social values for displaced carbon dioxide and criteria pollutants with the estimated energy performance suggests a very different picture for renewable energy project placement than what the current tax credit system provides incentives for. Today, subsidies only consider electricity production metrics, not these regional benefits of renewables.
"Valuing health, environmental, and climate impacts would significantly improve the competitiveness of wind and solar in some regions," Siler-Evans et al write. "In places like California, given how clean the electricity mix already is, additional investments in wind and solar achieve comparatively little health and environmental benefits."
The states that stand to gain the most health and environmental benefits from wind power are Indiana, Ohio, and West Virginia according to this analysis, but less than 5 percent of the nation's wind power is being developed there. Instead, more than 30 percent of the development has taken place in the states where those benefits are the lowest: California and Texas.
The authors also applied their model to see if we are getting our money's worth from the production tax credit system in place for wind turbines. American taxpayers spent about $1.6 billion on the program in 2009, but received $2.6 billion in social value, or about a 60 percent payback, from the displaced carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide, according to the authors' model. If the subsidy system took into account these health and environmental benefits from reduced pollution, perhaps the credits could be even more cost-effective. In Ohio, for example, wind energy could provide benefits worth four times the cost of the subsidy.

1Then David departed on his way, while Jonathan went back into the city.
The Holy Bread. 2David went to Ahimelech, the priest of Nob, who came trembling to meet him. He asked, "Why are you alone? Is there no one with you?"* a 3David answered the priest: "The king gave me a commission and told me, 'Do not let anyone know anything about the business on which I have sent you or the commission I have given you.' For that reason I have arranged a particular meeting place with my men. 4b Now what do you have on hand? Give me five loaves, or whatever you can find." 5* But the priest replied to David, "I have no ordinary bread on hand, only holy bread; if the men have abstained from women, you may eat some of that." 6David answered the priest: "We have indeed stayed away from women. In the past whenever I went out on a campaign, all the young men were consecrated—even for an ordinary campaign. All the more so are they consecrated with their weapons today!" 7So the priest gave him holy bread, for no other bread was on hand except the showbread which had been removed from before the LORD and replaced by fresh bread when it was taken away.c 8One of Saul's servants was there that day, detained before the LORD;* his name was Doeg the Edomite, the chief of Saul's shepherds.d
The Sword of Goliath. 9David then asked Ahimelech: "Do you have a spear or a sword on hand? I brought along neither my sword nor my weapons, because the king's business was urgent." 10The priest replied: "The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom you killed in the Valley of Elah, is here wrapped in a garment behind an ephod.* If you wish to take it, do so; there is no sword here except that one." "There is none like it," David cried, "give it to me!"e
David a Fugitive. 11That same day David fled from Saul, going to Achish, king of Gath.f 12But the servants of Achish said to him, "Is this not David, the king of the land? Is it not for him that during their dances they sing out,
'Saul has slain his thousands,
David his tens of thousands'?"g
13David took note of these remarks and became very much afraid of Achish, king of Gath.* 14So, he feigned insanity in front of them and acted like a madman in their custody, drumming on the doors of the gate and drooling onto his beard. 15Finally Achish said to his servants: "You see the man is mad. Why did you bring him to me? 16Do I not have enough madmen, that you bring this one to rant in my presence? Should this fellow come into my house?"
* [21:2] Ahimelech realizes that he risks incurring Saul's anger if David has come to Nob as a fugitive.
* [21:5–6] According to Lv 24:5–9, the showbread consisted of twelve loaves that were replaced each sabbath. Since the old bread was to be consumed by the priests, Ahimelech questions David regarding the ritual purity of his men (see 2 Sm 11:11). David's answer supposes the discipline of a military campaign under the conditions of "holy war" (Dt 23:10–15).
* [21:8] Detained before the LORD: perhaps to fulfill a ritual obligation. David's arrival at Nob seems to coincide with a festival day, since the showbread has recently been replaced with fresh bread. Shepherds: i.e., Saul's palace guard. Cf. 22:9–10, where Doeg has easy access to Saul.
* [21:10] Ephod: here an object or image large enough to conceal Goliath's sword. Cf. Gideon's ephod in Jgs 8:27.
* [21:13] Gath: a Philistine city (see note on 5:1–12), the home of Goliath.
a. [21:2] 1 Sm 16:4; Is 10:32; Mk 2:26.
c. [21:7] Lv 24:5–9; Mt 12:3–4; Mk 2:26; Lk 6:3–5.
e. [21:10] 1 Sm 17:51, 54.

1Of David, when he feigned madness before Abimelech,* who drove him out and he went away.
2I will bless the LORD at all times;
his praise shall be always in my mouth.a
3My soul will glory in the LORD;
let the poor hear and be glad.
4Magnify the LORD with me;
and let us exalt his name together.
5I sought the LORD, and he answered me,
delivered me from all my fears.
6Look to him and be radiant,
and your faces may not blush for shame.
7This poor one cried out and the LORD heard,
and from all his distress he saved him.
8The angel of the LORD encamps
around those who fear him, and he saves them.b
9Taste and see that the LORD is good;
blessed is the stalwart one who takes refuge in him.c
10Fear the LORD, you his holy ones;
nothing is lacking to those who fear him.d
11The rich grow poor and go hungry,
but those who seek the LORD lack no good thing.
12Come, children,* listen to me;e
I will teach you fear of the LORD.
13Who is the man who delights in life,f
who loves to see the good days?
14Keep your tongue from evil,
your lips from speaking lies.
15Turn from evil and do good;g
seek peace and pursue it.
16The eyes of the LORD are directed toward the righteoush
and his ears toward their cry.
17The LORD's face is against evildoers
to wipe out their memory from the earth.
18The righteous cry out, the LORD hears
and he rescues them from all their afflictions.
19The LORD is close to the brokenhearted,
saves those whose spirit is crushed.
20Many are the troubles of the righteous,
but the LORD delivers him from them all.
21He watches over all his bones;
not one of them shall be broken.i
22Evil will slay the wicked;
those who hate the righteous are condemned.
23The LORD is the redeemer of the souls of his servants;
and none are condemned who take refuge in him.
* [Psalm 34] A thanksgiving in acrostic form, each line beginning with a successive letter of the Hebrew alphabet. In this Psalm one letter is missing and two are in reverse order. The psalmist, fresh from the experience of being rescued (Ps 34:5, 7), can teach the "poor," those who are defenseless, to trust in God alone (Ps 34:4, 12). God will make them powerful (Ps 34:5–11) and give them protection (Ps 34:12–22).
* [34:1] Abimelech: a scribal error for Achish. In 1 Sm 21:13–16, David feigned madness before Achish, not Abimelech.
* [34:12] Children: the customary term for students in wisdom literature.
