Oh What A Noob
I'm happy being myself, which I've never been before. I always hid in other people, or tried to find myself through the characters, or live out their lives, but I didn't have those things in mine.When I was a boy, I always saw myself as a hero in comic books and in movies. I grew up believing this dream. The first thing which I can record concerning myself is, that I was born. These are wonderful words. This life, to which neither time nor eternity can bring diminution - this everlasting living soul, began. My mind loses itself in these depths. When I examine myself and my methods of thought, I come to the conclusion that the gift of fantasy has meant more to me than any talent for abstract, positive thinking. I just don't want to live like I used to. And at some point, I'm going to put a gag order on myself in terms of talking about the past. I've got to slam the door and deal with the present and the future.I prefer to be true to myself, even at the hazard of incurring the ridicule of others, rather than to be false, and to incur my own abhorrence. Whatever dramas are going on in my life, I always find that place inside my head where I see myself as the cleanest, tallest, strongest, wisest person that I can be. All my life I had been looking for something, and everywhere I turned someone tried to tell me what it was. I accepted their answers too, though they were often in contradiction and even self-contradictory. I was naïve. I was looking for myself and asking everyone except myself questions which I, and only I, could answer. It took me a long time and much painful boomeranging of my expectations to achieve a realization everyone else appears to have been born with: that I am nobody but myself..I'm not always as confident as I seem ... there are many nights and many days when all I want is to be held. I love being held. Always. Sometimes I don't want to talk about what is bothering me ... sometimes I just want a hug ... someone who will let me cry. I like when girls cry in front of me -- when people aren't afraid to show what they're really feeling. I don't like when people run from their true feelings because it doesn't do anyone any good. I wear my heart on my sleeve, but I am not naive. I know what it feels like to be completely broken and I am all too familiar with what it means to be hurt. I know what it's like to see something funny and not laugh. I've been taken advantage of, used, and abused. My feelings have been blatantly disregarded. But I still believe that all people are good at heart ... and my trust in people has not diminished. To be completely honest, I hope it never does. Ever. I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed

Continuing this File Sharing and Brick Wall theme, Genea-Blogger Randy sent me an Email with a GEDCOM file attached, of the Ancestor's of William Knapp's wife, Sarah Cuter. I had spend the afternoon on a road trip to where William and Sarah where married, and many Cutter's are buried.
As is my practice, I do not JUST merge files. I take a little time to "get a handle" on the new file. I did the same "clean up" on this new file as I did with the first file, documented in this series.
The next thing, in preparation for Merging of these two files, is to do a File, Back Up on both files. From the Plan Workspace, I clicked on the More button to get the Statistics on both files.
This is new New file.
This is the file that I have been using for my research:
I kept this working file (GEDCOM for Blog) file open and clicked on File, Merge.
The next screen is a suggestion to Back Up your file.
Since I had just backed up both files, I clicked on No. But I suggest that if you are merging files that you Back Up your file using the YES on this screen. Then you will see the files starting to be merged. They HAVE NOT been merged yet. You must select the file that you want merged into the currently open file. The File is selected.
The next screen is asking if you want to Merge the two files, OR Append this 2nd file to the currently open file. I chose to Merge the files.
The next screen is the MERGE WIZARD screen. What is important on this screen is to completely review each entry in the Right Hand Panel, for each Person in the Left Hand Panel.
In the RH Panel, you will have three choices, Select the Preferred Fact, you can Discard an item, or you can choose the item to be set at an Alt. Fact. You select the Preferred fact like the Birth Fact, below, where I selected the Birth Date and Place. That made the Birth Date become Discard but I changed that to Alt.
The LH Panel, has three sections: For Review, Merged, and New. Each person SHOULD be selected and the data reviewed BEFORE the Merge Button is selected. The Merge Button on this screen is to Merge everyone in the LH Panel. I do NOT recommend that you do you that until you have reviewed all of the data.
The Plan Workspace, MORE button shows that some new people have been added, as expected.
A quick review of the file does not show too many issues, so I did a SyncNow to update the Ancestry Member Tree.
What was really nice is that ALL of the Tasks that I had entered into the new file came through into the Merged File.
Lesson Learned: Back Up your files before any Merge and check the results before moving one.
There will be a follow up post on one issue that w.s observed.

Well today Im starting that wolfteam fan freebie project thing.Im gonna start simple,today Im gonna talk about battle tips.
Wolfteam is a generally easy to play online FPS.1 for main weapons,2 for sub weapons,3 for wolf mode or knife and 4 for grenade.
Since this is an online FPS you will be fighting other players.For starters always walk in wolf mode(unless you are playing wolf conq human or classic mode).In wolf mode you get extended vision and more hp.Always roar to recharge hp,even if its still relatively high,you wont know when you will be backstabbed.When you play as a wolf,always camp in one corner,dont move around too much or you will reveal your position.
When you have located an easy target,move from your camping spot and pursue.You have 2 choices,go up to him and claw him to kingdom come,or hit 1 and go human,spray him before he jumps or moves away.If you somehow didnt get the kill,use wolf and pursue,he may be in human mode expecting you,so always look before you charge.Using the 2nd option of shooting wont reveal your position to other opponents,so its better,but if your shooting sux,go for the wolf approach.
If you are playing classic or wolf base and cant become wolf mode,just stay in one corner and wait for your prey to come.
In wolf combat,this is what you should expect.1st,if you are going head to head with a wolf,do not use jump and right click,just jump around and left click.Jump right clicking will have delay and give your enemies an opening,you dont want that do you.Only use jump and right click on humans,its MUCH safer that way.
Using nades are for pussies,but they do save you sometimes.Always throw a nade at the start of battle,you may,with luck,hit something.
If you are somehow playing classic mode or something,the knife is your best friend.1 hit kills all the way with right click.Just use the same camp in one corner trick,when someone comes by,just stealthy go up to him and hit right click.Boom,instant jackpot,you just nagged a kill.One note,never,NEVER knife wolves,you will end up nothing but a dead fool.
Thats all for today,today's post really meant nothing much,its just a few random battle tips thrown together.The next post will have more of a theme to it.

2000 GMC Sierra Half Ton Z71- The Ultimate Z71
Part V: Drivetrain
Sometimes it's all about the stuff you can't see. Without question the unsung heroes of most 4x4s are the hardworking drivetrain parts that translate power-namely your transmission and transfer case. When building a rig for the Ultimate Adventure, the goal is to make it as bombproof as possible. But bombproof doesn't always mean UA-proof. Remember, it's the Ultimate Adventure, not the sort of moderate "I will just trailer my rig from place to place if anything goes wrong" adventure.
With our '00 GMC Sierra 1/2-ton built from the factory with a driver-side drop configuration, we knew we were in for a bit of a challenge as our front junkyard Dana 60 axle had the differential on the passenger side. Now believe it or not, this is not as big of a challenge as you might think. Obviously your transfer case will need to be set up for the correct side, but the two biggest challenges generally faced with a swap like this is transmission width and engine oil-pan clearance. Working with a fullsize rig gives you more room to work around problems, and sometimes the solution is as easy as getting a custom driveshaft built. OK, I'm not saying that it's just that cut and dried, but if you are a confident fabricator with a bit of 4x know-how, it's something that you should have no problem tackling.
Keeping our Super Sleeper build going are Mel Wade and his squad of pro fabricators at Off Road Evolution. With the crew pulling out all the stops and kicking in the long hours, we geared things up with Off Road Design's NP203/205 Doubler and slid in a 15,000-pound Warn winch behind the GMC's modified factory bumper.
Check back next month as we wrap up our Ultimate Z71 build and show you some of the damage it survived. And for all of you who just can't get enough Z71 action, cruise over to our website, www.4wheeloffroad.com, for the entire series of web-exclusive extras that chronicles the build from the teardown to the Adventure.
Electric Avenue
Modern vehicle electronics can be a real pain when performing such an extensive conversion like we have done. Through a series of cut wires, swapped ECMs (electronic control modules), a disconnected BCM (body control module), and an eliminated four-wheel-drive module, we somehow tricked our truck into working. We wish we could retrace each step with you in the magazine, but our current configuration is a bit smog-challenged and we are still working out a few of the bugs. As far as we can tell, if you have disconnected the 4WD module (behind the driver-side dash) and the vehicle's speed sensor is monitoring only the reluctor ring that now rides on the transmission output shaft, everything should shift and work fine. Keep a look out for future blogs and articles that will address all these new-age electronic hurdles, and hopefully one of these days we can have a dash that will stop blinking at us!

| 21.9°C Dublin
WORKERS cheered as they completed the spire on New York's One World Trade Center this morning, raising the building to its full height of 1,776 feet (541 meters) and helping fill a void in the skyline left by the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks.
The spire makes the building the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere, 47 feet (14 meters) taller than Chicago's Willis Tower, though it is substantially shorter than towers in the Middle East and Asia.
"I am very happy, but also sad, because why did we have to rebuild this tower? It's a proud day for the city," said Philip English, one of a couple dozen construction workers on hand as the spire was completed at 7:46 a.m. local time (1146 GMT).
The skies were crystal clear, reminiscent of the weather on the day that hijacked airliners crashed into the former Twin Towers, in a coordinated attack on New York and Washington that killed about 3,000 people and left the United States on high alert for future incidents.
Formerly called the Freedom Tower, One World Trade Center is one of four skyscrapers being built around the site of the fallen Twin Towers in a partnership between developer Larry Silverstein and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which owns the site.
The tower's height is a reference to the year 1776, which marked the beginning of the American revolution against British rule and is considered the start of what became the modern United States.

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - A U.S. judge on Wednesday rejected part of Apple Inc's lawsuit against Amazon.com Inc's use of the term App Store, ruling Apple cannot bring a false advertising claim against the online retailer.
U.S. District Judge Phyllis Hamilton in Oakland, California, granted Amazon's motion for partial summary judgment, which only challenged Apple's false advertising allegations. Apple leveled other claims against Amazon, including trademark infringement.
An Apple spokeswoman declined to comment, and an Amazon representative could not be reached immediately.
Amazon has stepped up competition against Apple in recent years, launching its cheaper Kindle tablet computer to go after the dominant iPad and trying to lure mobile application developers to its Kindle platform.
One of the first public clashes in their tussle was Apple's 2011 lawsuit.
Apple accused Amazon of misusing what it calls its APP STORE to solicit developers for a mobile software download service. However, Amazon said its so-called Appstore has become so generic that its use could not constitute false advertising.
In a legal filing last year, Amazon added that even Apple Chief Executive Tim Cook and his predecessor, Steve Jobs, used the term to discuss rivals. Cook commented on "the number of app stores out there" and Jobs referred to the "four app stores on Android."
In her ruling on Wednesday, Hamilton wrote that the mere use of "Appstore" by Amazon cannot be taken as a representation that its service is the same as Apple's.
"Apple has failed to establish that Amazon made any false statement (express or implied) of fact that actually deceived or had the tendency to deceive a substantial segment of its audience," Hamilton wrote.
A trial on Apple's remaining claims is scheduled for August.
The case is Apple Inc v. Amazon.com Inc et al, U.S. District Court, Northern District of California, No. 11-01327.

Good question - and you already got the reply
Many years ago, we seeked low wind days, using bigger special wide low rockered waveboards, and big kites - and then it was freeraceboards that could easily top any lightwind waveboard.
It was great fun back in the days, as it was the ultimate way of riding on sunny beautiful days with quite low wind
a few used HUGE foilkites and big TT boards - I have no idea why, and I still dont understand it, makes absolutely no sense IMO as it is plowing back and fourth and nothing but that, compared to what other boards can offer of livelyness and fun
Sorry to offend some, but I really think it is beginners or those who are not really progressing that do this
Back to the question - you asked "with a big kite" ?
You can cancel that, and drop the big kite you dont NEED a big kite when hydrofoiling, that is a huge advantage.
To ride in 7 knots on a hydrofoil, a 12 m2 LEI is sufficient, and you hardly ever see anyone using bigger than this.
For marginal winds, yes, but that is not what you ask for ?
The other huge difference is, that with a hydrofoil, the 8-10 knots is the sweetspot playground wind where everything is possible and quite easy - and the most amazing fact with a hydrofoil is, that you DONT wish and want more wind, to have more fun - it is fun in all windranges - quite opposite to TT og Waveboards where more wind equals more fun and options
So no, they are not even close to being the same, lightyears apart

EC actions to strengthen the safety of derivatives markets - briefing20 October 2009
by eub2 -- last modified 20 October 2009
The European Commission has adopted a Communication for ensuring efficient, safe and sound derivatives markets. The Communication sets out future policy actions to increase transparency of the derivatives market, reduce counterparty and operational risk in trading and enhance market integrity and oversight. They follow the stakeholder consultation launched with the Communication in July and the public hearing in September. The Commission will come forward with legislative proposals in 2010. These proposals will be in line with the G20 Pittsburgh statement and will be accompanied by a thorough impact assessment. In order to avoid any risk of regulatory arbitrage and to ensure a global consistency of policy approaches, the Commission stands ready to work with authorities around the world when finalising the proposals.
You propose a comprehensive solution for all derivatives markets. Does that not ignore the different risk of different asset segments?
The various derivatives market segments differ in their characteristics, namely in terms of risk, operational arrangements and market participants. At first sight, a market segment specific regulatory approach could therefore seem warranted. However, the boundaries between market segments are blurred, as any derivative contract can be partitioned and reconstructed into different but economically equivalent contracts. Therefore, an asset-specific policy approach would enable market participants to exploit differences in rules to their advantage. The Commission accordingly believes that a comprehensive policy on derivatives is necessary to address the current market failure in the most efficient way.
Moreover, the effect of the policy proposals depends on the effectiveness of current risk mitigation infrastructures. In asset segments where e.g. CCP clearing is already up and running, the effects will be more limited.
What measures exactly is the Commission proposing?
The Commission's objectives are to reduce counterparty credit and operational risks, increase transparency and to strengthen market integrity and oversight. To that end, the Commission proposes a package of actions that will be developed into legislative proposals in 2010.
* To reduce counterparty credit risk, the Commission will (i) propose legislation to establish common safety, regulatory and operational standards for central counterparties (CCPs), (ii) improve collateralisation of bilaterally-cleared contracts, (iii) substantially raise capital charges for bilaterally-cleared as compared with CCP-cleared transactions, and on top of this (iv) mandate CCP-clearing for all standardised contracts.
* To reduce operational risk, the Commission will work with industry to promote standardisation of the legal terms of contracts and of contract-processing.
* To increase transparency, the Commission will (i) mandate that positions and all transactions are recorded in trade repositories, (ii) regulate and supervise trade repositories, (iii) mandate trading of standardised derivatives on exchanges and other organised trading venues, and (iv) increase pre- and post-trade transparency as part of the upcoming review of the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID) for all derivatives markets including for commodity derivatives.
* To enhance market integrity and oversight, the Commission will propose clarifying and extending the scope of the Market Abuse Directive (MAD) to derivatives and by giving regulators the possibility to set position limits.
Will the Commission consult with other jurisdictions when finalising its proposals?
Yes. The market for derivatives is global, and regulatory arbitrage must be excluded. The Commission wants to ensure a robust and convergent international regulatory outcome. T he proposals are therefore in line with the objective outlined in the G20 meeting of 25 September 2009 .
In order to ensure an ambitious and coherent implementation of these policies across the globe, the Commission intends continue to develop its policy in this area in close cooperation with its G20 partners, and in particular with the US, which is also in the process of designing a new approach to derivatives markets.
What is a Central Counter-party (CCP)?
A CCP is an entity that interposes itself between the counterparties to a transaction, becoming the buyer to every seller and the seller to every buyer.
Why does the Commission propose to mandate more collateral? Aren't current collateral levels sufficiently high?
No. There is a considerable amount of uncertainty surrounding the current level of collateralisation. Moreover, recent studies, notably by the ECB, highlight that current collateral levels are lower than previously thought. It is therefore necessary to require financial firms to supply both initial margin and variation margin when entering into a bilateral deal OTC.
Why is it necessary to further strengthen the favourable regulatory capital treatment of CCPs? Isn't a zero-rating enough?
The current treatment has not provided a sufficient incentive to take up CCP clearing irrespective of the benefits. It is therefore necessary to strengthen the differentiation to ensure that the rules properly distinguish between, on the one hand, the lower counterparty credit risk of contracts that are cleared on a CCP, and the higher counterparty credit risk of those where clearing is done bilaterally.
Why do you propose to mandate CCP clearing on top of capital charges?
Capital charges will provide the necessary incentives toward standardisation and CCP clearing. In order to ensure that the G20 deliberations are respected, the Commission decided to mandate the use of CCPs for standardised products.
How will you implement the mandate to clear standardised contracts on CCPs?
When developing its detailed proposals, the Commission will work with its partners in the G20, and notably the US, to achieve ambitious solutions to the practical issues related to making the requirement operational. This involves, in particular, defining which contracts can be regarded as standardised for central clearing. The Commission will undertake a rigorous impact assessment before finalising its proposals. The impact assessment will take due account of all the costs and benefits, including the impact on competitiveness.
Why does the Commission propose to work with industry to reduce operational risk? Does this not duplicate ongoing global efforts to the same effect?
The Commission considers that more collective action is needed by market participants to increase standardisation so as to reduce operational risk. Therefore, the Commission will further build on the success of the Derivatives Working Group and set ambitious European targets, with strict deadlines, for legal- and process-standardisation. This complements global actions, as the focus will be to ensure that global efforts take due account of European specificities so as to deliver full benefits also in Europe.
What are trade repositories?
A trade repository collects data on contracts traded in one or more segments of the OTC derivatives markets. Through a trade repository one can therefore obtain information on, for example, the number of outstanding contracts, the size of outstanding positions in a particular contract, the exposures of a particular institution, etc. This contributes to improve the level of transparency and knowledge of both supervisors and the public. A repository can also provide other services (e.g. facilitate settlement and payment instructions), thus improving operational efficiency. A trade repository exists for CDS in the form of the Trade Information Warehouse, operated by the US Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation (DTCC).
Do you require trade repositories to be located in Europe?
No, provided that (i) third country repositories are subject to comparable regulation and supervision and (ii) European regulators have unfettered access to the information stored at repositories in third countries. Should such access not be achieved, the Commission will encourage the creation and operation of European-based trade repositories.
Why do you propose to extend post-trade transparency to OTC derivatives? Will it not reduce liquidity?
Derivatives trading can take place on many types of venues, ranging from on-exchange to OTC. This competition is beneficial, provided that the price discovery function for the derivatives market as a whole is supported and information asymmetries are minimised. To achieve that it is necessary to extend transparency requirements to OTC trading as well. However, the increased transparency obligations will need to be measured so as to mitigate any excessive negative side-effects on liquidity.
What is an organised trading venue?
An organised trading venue is a venue where trades are executed in an automated manner according to pre-defined rules and where prices and other trade-related information are publicly displayed. According to the categorisation in the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID), organised trading venues are regulated markets, multilateral trading facilities (MTFs) and systematic internalisers.
Why do you propose to mandate trading of standardised contracts on such venues?
This requirement is in line with the global principles agreed by the G20. In the EU, this implies ensuring that eligible trades for exchange-trading take place on organised trading venues, as defined by MiFID. Mandating trading on such venues, together with the introduction of transparency rules, will help to ensure greater efficiency in the trading of eligible products and ensure a consistent framework in how financial instruments, from equities to derivatives, are traded.
What is the purpose of giving regulators the power to set position limits?
Proposing these powers is part of the Commission's efforts to improve pan-European supervision and oversight. The possibility to impose position limits is an important ancillary tool for supervisors to ensure the stability and soundness of markets. It allows them to limit the concentration of risk, excessive position taking and therefore counterparty risk. Especially in the field of commodity derivatives markets, it can also be a way to curb excessive price volatility, which distorts the orderly functioning of markets.
Why are non-financial institutions affected by the future policy actions?
Non-financial institutions are users of derivatives products and are therefore part of the web of mutual dependence. Inasmuch as non-financial firms have bought protection from a financial firm and in so doing have transferred their risks into the financial system, they have generally benefited from the underpricing of risk in the build-up phase of the crisis. Through the severe decline in economic activity, they have also fallen victim of the financial crisis.
Even though non-financial institutions' use of derivatives is relatively small compared to financial users, history suggests that they may sometimes build up sizeable positions and hence be a risk to their counterparties and possibly to the system as a whole should they default. Non-financial institutions should therefore not be completely excluded from the scope of the forthcoming actions.
Moreover, a principle underpinning the Commission's proposals is that the cost of strengthening the market infrastructure for OTC derivatives should be carried by those who directly enjoy the economic benefit from using derivatives and not taxpayers. This was not the case during this financial crisis and the Commission proposes to address this. Risk will have to be adequately priced. What the precise price will be, is part of the ongoing work and analysis that needs to be done to enable the Commission to define its proposals.
Non-financial institutions' use of derivatives poses less of a risk to the financial system. Will this be taken into account when finalising the proposals?
In view of the different level of risk to the financial system associated with non-financial institutions' use of derivatives, they may not be subject to exactly the same level of obligations as financial institutions. The Commission will take due account of the differences when finalising its proposals. However, although most non-financial institutions are not of systemic importance, legislation should not be undermined by loopholes.
Do these measures not risk hurting non-financial institutions' competitiveness?
The financial crisis is already hurting 'competitiveness'. Potential growth has declined from 1.8% p.a. on average 2000-2006 to 0.7% in 2009. Hence, the crisis has thrown back the Lisbon strategy's objectives. The financial crisis has therefore amply illustrated how vulnerable the real economy is to financial instability and the enormous costs of mitigating the impact. Addressing the root causes for the financial crisis in order to provide a more stable financial foundation for the real economy is therefore a vital interest for us all, non-financial institutions included. Strengthening financial stability will make severe economic crises less likely in the future and put Europe on a more sustainable growth path.
Will European companies be disadvantaged vis-à-vis other countries?
No, the Communication states clearly the need for close cooperation with G20 partners. Also, the forthcoming proposals will be subject to rigorous impact assessments. The Commission will take full account of the impact of any proposal on Europe's competitiveness.
Will companies still be able to hedge?
Yes. The Commission's proposals do not limit the freedom to set the economic terms of derivative contracts. The Commission recognises the vital role of customised derivatives contracts traded OTC in hedging the risks that result from normal business operations. The Commission does neither propose to ban customised contracts nor to make them prohibitively costly. However, the function of prices to allocate resources must be restored: derivatives should be appropriately priced in relation to the risks they entail (including systemic risk), in order to avoid those risks being ultimately passed on to taxpayers.
Will hedging become more costly?
The Commission's forthcoming proposals aim at better management of the risks of derivatives, hence there is an efficiency gain. Initially, however, traditional OTC trades (i.e. bilaterally cleared) are likely to become more costly. However, over time, as more contracts will get centrally cleared, the cost per contract is likely to fall, as economies of scale come into play.
Will financial firms pass on the costs to non-financial firms?
The fee a financial firm charges for a derivatives trade depends on whether its counterpart provides collateral or not. If not, the financial firm has to use its own capital to cover its exposure. This results in a higher fee.
Therefore, if non-financial firms provide no collateral, financial firms are likely to pass on some of their costs to them. However, derivatives markets are competitive and financial firms are unlikely to be able to pass on their costs in full. The measures proposed are also likely to increase competition as the reduction of counterparty credit risks through CCPs may allow smaller players to enter the field. Moreover, the Commission's proposal to increase post-trade transparency is likely to further limit financial firms' ability to pass on the costs. US experience from corporate bonds has shown that intermediation margins fall with more transparency.
Legislation is announced for 2010. What are the next steps?
The Commission will now launch the impact assessments. It will take into account all stakeholders' evidence about the potential impacts, in terms of costs and benefits, of the policy orientations set out below when preparing the impact assessment with a view to finalising its proposals.

Dear Em.
Last night while down in this deep dug out, and when I was just getting set for a little pound one of the boys that had gone back to Regimental returned and said he had two letters for me. He started hunting for them in his pockets and every second it took him to find them just added to my disappointment in that he was kidding. But no. Finally he drew forth the two letters and sure enough they were for me. You can realize how much I appreciated them when I say that it was the first bit of news Id received since about the middle of July. I think I can honestly say that it was the first time that my sleep was interupted and I could thank the one that was the cause (and I sure did thank this chap).
Neadless to say, I wasn't long openning one of them (of coarse I openned the other shortly after finishing the said first one) which was from you dated Sept 10. I supposed as you said, that my being in the hospital would surprise you some what, but then it was the first time I ever was in one you know, so I think I have been very fortunate especially the last year. Your hope, in this letter has been granted for I am back with the bunch again and altho we are in, it seems more like natural.
Things are very quiet at present and the boys are not kicking any over this after the race they just had, and that I didn't take part in having just returned from the hospital a day or so ago. Yes I did enjoy the rest part of it but I think I enjoyed the baths and changes of cloths better than any thing else.
Talking of Tom's being gone just a year from the day he got a look at home again reminds me that we will have been in France a year the day after tomorrow Oct 9. I hope we can wind it up before another year has gone by. So Jimmy and Frank are in France. I guess I will have to send my regards to them via U.S. and through you. Also to Harry. Batty is lucky if he can spend the winter down south beleive me. I was glad to hear that Pa enjoyed his vacation and that every one else is O.K. That must be some kitten you speak of. I wonder if it would play around me like that when I was in one of my pleasant moods.
All this talk of what we were going to do with the Hun, has sure turned to action now. Will have to agree with you Em, the boys are doing great work. Cant do too much though nor do it too soon, so keep rooting for the boys in France. Don't forget, we have some boys in Russia and Italy too. In looking over this letter it looks as though I did pretty well considering the position Im writing in and the light we've got to use. It is raining now which of coarse means mud and chills, but then we are used to that.
Well Em I was very glad to hear from you and in hopes that mail will be received oftener. How is Henry and Leonard? Glad to hear that every one else is all right and wish to be remembered to them. Having nothing more to say naturally Ill close
Samuel E. Avery #69762, Hdq Co. 103rd Inf. Am. Ex. Forces.
P.S. An order just issued requires the soldier's number to be added to his address. My number being 69762 the envelope should read Samuel E. Avery #69762 Hdq. Co. 103rd Inf. Am. Ex. Forces.

SHANGHAI (Reuters) - China sacked on Friday a district Communist Party official after images of him having sex with his mistress were splashed across microblog websites.
The case highlights the influence of China's fast-growing microblogging community, and the ruling Communist Party's growing sensitivity and responsiveness to public anger against abuse of power, official impunity and corruption.
Screenshots from the sex video first appeared on Sina Corp's Weibo site on Tuesday.
Lei Zhengfu, a district party chief in the southwestern city of Chongqing, was fired after an investigation by the party's discipline watchdog confirmed that it was he who appeared in the video, the state-run Xinhua news agency said.
The agency reported on Thursday that Lei had told a reporter the video, shot in 2007, was a fake.
The party has stepped up its rhetoric against corruption, seeking to counter anger from citizens over regular reports of graft and debauchery among officials, but efforts to root out the problem have hardly made a dent.
Disgraced politician Bo Xilai, whose expulsion from the party overshadowed the run-up to last week's once-in-a-decade leadership transition, has been accused of engaging in "improper sexual relations with multiple women", among other crimes.
Bo, who also faces possible charges of corruption and abuse of power, has yet to stand trial.
Net-savvy Chinese people have found a potent weapon for fighting official corruption and abuse of power in microblogs like Weibo, which had more than 420 million users at the end of the third quarter this year.
In September, another official, Yang Dacai, lost his job in the northwestern province of Shaanxi after Internet users compiled photos of him wearing several luxury watches that he was unlikely to be able to afford on a civil servant's salary.
A month later, an urban management official in the southern province of Guangdong, Cai Bin, was sacked after online postings about him owning 22 homes.
Lei's sacking was among the most talked about topics on the hugely popular Weibo site on Friday.

Occupy Wall Street has been a really great place to meet girls and audition for The Real World, catch some free concerts, and even participate in some viral marketing for movies like Tower Heist and A Very Harold And Kumar 3-D Christmas, but obviously the most important thing is its message about the dangers of greed—and finding new ways to turn that message into dolla dolla bills, y'all. Already sympathetic millionaires like Russell Simmons and Kanye West have donned their most modest, humble gold teeth and strolled among the throng to convey support for the movement that rallies against every single thing they say, ever, thus establishing cred through silent osmosis. But as Simmons tweeted, it's now Jay-Z who has taken that cognitive dissonance "to a whole new level" by creating Occupy Wall Street-inspired T-shirts for his Rocawear clothing line, as seen above. Protesting frivolous spending is now as easy as dropping $22 on this.
As a Rocawear spokesperson explained in an official statement, "The 'Occupy All Streets' T shirt was created in support of the 'Occupy Wall Street' movement. Rocawear strongly encourages all forms of constructive expression, whether it be artistic, political or social. 'Occupy All Streets' is our way of reminding people that there is change to be made everywhere, not just on Wall Street." Indeed, there is lots of change to be made—and plenty of dollars too, as Rocawear has said that while the shirts preach a message of resistance against unscrupulous capitalists, 100 percent of the proceeds will go to the company, as they "have not made an official commitment to monetarily support the movement." They're just supporting the idea of Occupy Wall Street, specifically the idea that it's totally a goldmine.

When I was young and first got into programming seriously, I reveled in working at the lowest levels of code. I loved (loved!) assembly language and could think of no greater happiness than doing clever things with registers and writing tight, fast code that squeezed into the minimum amount of RAM and delivered great performance.

- Now That Ransomware Has Gone Nuclear, How Can You Avoid Becoming the Next Victim?
As time passed, the lack of portability and the burden of learning the ins and outs of every new architecture got me interested C. In C, I thought I'd finally found the gateway to paradise: portable assembly language. What could possibly be better?
But after nearly 10 years of working in C on my personal projects, I tired of never being able to bring anything to a close, unless the project was a minor utility. Anything bigger never bore the full elements of my original ambitions. Feature lopping was a common practice. And even then more modestly resized projects, under unsparing hours in the debugger, would eventually be consigned to the groaning shelf of unfinished projects.
I had to move on. I went to Java, which drew me with its siren song of portability, performance, excellent tools, and enormous libraries. Not having to code one more linked list had remarkable appeal. So did the superior testing tools that would allow me to write code and test it quickly. This enabled me to avoid spending lots of time in the debugger. Ever since, Java has been my base language for personal projects, both large and small. (I am not implying that it will be my final destination. I continue to be troubled by the inconvenience of delivering software to non-developer users, who are not at all comfortable downloading or updating Java. A garbage-collected, portable, binary language with good libraries that is not as complex as C++ has great appeal to me. Which is certainly why I feel so interested in Go at the moment.)
As time has passed, though, I've found myself constantly frustrated by the feeling that no matter how much I test my code, I can't be sure with certainty that it's right. The best I can say is that the code is probably right. But when I write code for others to use, I want it to be completely reliable. This concern has led me to embrace tools that enforce the correctness of the code.
Long ago, for example, I adopted Bertrand Meyer's concept of design-by-contract (DBC), which suggests that every function should test for pre-conditions, post-conditions, and invariants. In Java, I do this with the excellent Guava library. So my methods tend to have tests, especially at the beginning where each parameter is carefully checked. I test invariants and post-conditions primarily in unit tests, which is probably not ideal, but it moves some of the validation clutter out of the code.
I'd like to go beyond this. First, I wish the languages provided better support for correctness. For example, I think floats should default to an uninitialized value of NaN (not a number). I wish integers had a NaN equivalent and that all primitive data types and strings had an invalid value to which they would be initialized by the language. A whole class of errors would go away. (In the absence of this, the Java compiler's ability to identify uninitialized values is undeniably helpful.)
But moving beyond these simple levels is where things become a lot more difficult. I have essentially two major options. The first would be to code in some kind of modeling language. Then use a tool, such as Conformiq's products or others, to generate thousands of tests. Then, automatically generate the code from the models and run all the tests. This is a highly effective way of writing solid code, and it is favored widely in Europe. However, I'm a coder at heart, and I'm not sure coding at a diagrammatic level is really my cup of tea.
The second alternative is to use languages that strongly support correctness. There are not many. Ada goes farther than Java in this regard. And Eiffel perhaps farther yet. But probably the one that does the most is Spark, an Ada subset. Developed in the U.K., Spark uses a system of annotations that are embedded in comments at the start of each method. The code can then be verified by assorted tools that check it against the annotations. Free and commercial versions of SPARK tools exist today.
Specifying code functionality in this way is undoubtedly an extra step with lots of additional typing involved. But it has advantages outside of proving correctness: To start with, it more fully documents the code. And, as Edmond Schonberg (formerly a professor of computer science at NYU and now an executive at AdaCore) mentioned to me in a pick-up conversation, by writing out the specifications before the code, most of the same benefits that tests deliver to TDD aficionados accrue to coders the tests or specifications force you to spell out what you're doing before you begin to code. "Lots of defects get caught by this simple step," according to Schonberg. I believe it.
And I rue that in the U.S., only a few industries (mostly embedded, automotive, and avionics) are interested in high levels of code correctness. It's a topic that is dismissed as a luxury by mainstream programmers because it appears to interfere with the ability to deliver software quickly.
I have some sympathy for this point of view. If I were to indulge my desire for correctness more deeply, I would certainly want to have a scripting language as a secondary tool for testing out ideas and banging out code that doesn't need to be perfect. I don't want correctness to push me back to the days of coding in C when nothing was ever completed. However, as the recent Knight Capital disaster on Wall Street demonstrates, the general resistance to correctness felt by business programmers is a conceit that cannot always be accommodated without considering its occasionally dire consequences.
