Northeast Iowa Food and Fitness Initiative
A collaboration to ensure that every day all people in Northeast Iowa have access to healthy, locally grown foods and abundant opportunities for physical activity and play.
At Luther, we believe that sustainable thinking is a tool for examining complex modern crises. We enact sustainability by greening our campus operations, reaching out to support our local cities and businesses, and teaching students through academic courses and campus life that creating a sustainable society is the responsibility of each of us.
Is there a way that we can have prosperity, freedom and equality for all people while protecting our natural environment so all life can flourish? That's the question that sustainability asks.
Sustainability is about examining the world holistically and with a long-term perspective, rather than trying to solve problems independently from each other with "quick fixes."
A sustainable world protects all people, our prosperity, and the planet. None of those three things are put above the others, and likewise none are considered less important.
Thinking sustainably often leads to the realization that today's problems seem diverse but are often closely related, and solving one depends on solving others.
Achieving sustainable thought and practice will not be an easy task. It will require re-thinking our science and technology, our cultures, our behaviors, and our interactions with the natural world. But what is our alternative?
Wind turbines and geothermal heating, workers that are treated and paid fairly, products that compost or recycle, and balancing profits with equity all have their place in a sustainable campus and world. But ultimately, sustainability involves transforming how we all think about "how things work." As an institution of higher education, we take responsibility in preparing our graduates to create a just, fair future for everyone.
Luther is proud to be considered one of best schools in Iowa and the nation when it comes to being green. In 2010, we were rated one of the top eight schools in the nation by the College Sustainability Report Card. In 2011, we installed the first utility-scale wind turbine at a four-year college in Iowa.
Striving to be a green, eco friendly, sustainable (what ever you'd like to call it) college takes work and always involves compromises. While we admit we still aren't sustainable, we are willing to take environmental, social, and economical concerns seriously enough to be the best green college we can be.

Anticipating possible political backlash if forced federal spending cuts kick in as expected later this week, the Senate's No. 2 Republican said Monday that he is preparing a message he plans to hit hard: The cuts are not going to have as negative an impact as the Pentagon and others in the Obama administration are saying.
Sen. John Cornyn of Texas said he plans to make the case to other Republicans and the public that despite warnings from the Pentagon that the mandated cuts will be devastating, the overall amount of defense spending will actually still rise.
Cornyn conceded that until now he had been parroting what Defense Secretary Leon Panetta continuously warns -- that automatic, government-wide cuts could jeopardize national security.
But the veteran senator said he looked into it and will now argue that even if the cuts go through on March 1, the Pentagon will still see its budget go up.
Cornyn's preview of what he hopes will be a Senate GOP argument is significant since defense cuts are usually something Republicans adamantly oppose. He will surely run up against some in his party who strongly disagree.
To be sure, Cornyn called himself a defense "hawk" and did say the role of the federal government should be first and foremost to protect American citizens.
But he also believes that the deficit should be paramount since the United States has ended its fighting Iraq and is winding down the war in Afghanistan.
He added that if "God forbid" another 9/11 happens, Congress would act.
Still, Senate Republicans are considering a proposal this week that could alleviate some impacts of the cuts by giving the president flexibility to decide where they would occur.
However, GOP sources tell CNN that Republicans have not yet worked out among themselves whether their measure would give the president that flexibility on all domestic agencies and programs or just on defense.

The last batch of Indian fishermen, comprising 141 men, was released on Monday morning from Malir Jail, Karachi.
The released fisher men traveled to Lahore by three buses. Once they reach Lahore, they will be handed over to the Indian authorities at the Wahga border. The Sindh government, following the decision of the Supreme Court of Pakistan, ordered the release of all the 442 Indian fishermen languishing in provincial jails, Naushehro Feroz, Badin, Nara Jail and Malir Jail for the last three years. The first batch was released on August 30, 2010.
Sadhu, son of Lakha, 63, said it was the second time he was arrested and put in Pakistani jail. Earlier, five years ago, he spent 18 months in the jail. "It is a disheartening experience to be in jail," he said while giving his reaction as he stepped outside the jail gates. He said that he has one son, who after marriage is living separately and he has to take care of his wife and children. He said, "I have become so fed up now and will not resume fishing because I cannot perform well and will not bear the torture and cruelty."
There were nine Muslims among the released fishermen who worked at Pore Bunder, Okha Bunder and Jakhu Bunder, and fishing is their traditional source of livelihood. They are happy about the fact that they will celebrate Eidul Fitr with their parents and relatives. Relatives of some of the Indian fishermen living in Karachi came to exchange greetings but the administration did not allow them to meet with anybody from India. Earlier, during their stay in jail, their relatives took care of them and visited frequently.
Majority of the released fishermen are young and were arrested for the first time. Ismail, son of Sattar, said that they could not guess the territorial boundary in the sea while high tides push their boats and they turn victims. Their experience in district jails was too harsh.
Manu, son of Heera, hails from Kajri village of Junagadh. He has two minor children and a wife but is unaware of their well being. "I was the only breadwinner. I have spent 22 months in jail here," he lamented.
Sharafat Ali and BM Kutti of Pakistan Institute of Labour Education and Research (Piler), Pakistan Fisherfolk Forum (PFF) General Secretary Saeed Baloch, Sami Memon, Majeed Motani, Talib Kachhi and others received the released fishermen. PFF leaders presented Ajraks to all the released fishermen.
A PFF spokesman said they receive parents and relatives of Pakistani fishermen detained in Indian jails for their safe release. Mostly, the fishermen languishing in Indian jails belong to Thatta district, except few from Karachi's neighbourhoods, he added.
Meanwhile, a three-member delegation from Pakistan comprising Justice (retd) Nasir Aslam Zahid, Karamat Ali, Director Piler and Advocate Iqbal Haider left on Monday to visit New Delhi from September 6 to 9 to meet with the civil society organisations and the Indian government authorities to ensure the safe release of 158 Pakistani fishermen before Eidul Fitr. During their stay they will meet with the Pakistan High Commission officials, leaders of the Congress Party and ministers.
In a joint initiative by civil society organisations and peace activists from Pakistan and India, the issue of fishermen was raised at major forums. Both sides filed separate petitions in their respective superior courts for the release of detained fishermen on humanitarian basis.

Ex-GTA producer: Don't expect 3 consoles in next, next gen
A former Grand Theft Auto producer at Rockstar Games thinks that the next, next generation in consoles won't have three hardware makers competing for your dollars.
Speaking to Games Industry in an interview published on Monday, Jeremy Pope said the economics of the console market make no sense for there to be three hardware companies competing after the next round of consoles launch.
"It's going to be very challenging for Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo," said Pope, who is currently running a mobile startup he founded called Rally Games. "I wouldn't be surprised if we … Read more

How to get perfect beachy curls
1. The "before" shot!
2. First, you want to take different-sized sections of hair, so your curls won't be too uniform. Take these partings of hair in varying sizes and wrap around the barrel of your curling iron. (Hair stylists swear by the Marcel 1" curling iron, since it won't flatten your hair and gives you more body). Leave the last couple of inches of hair out to not curl them because they would end up absorbing too much curl—which would end up looking too girly, like Shirley Temple. I also like to curl away from the face (going back, instead of forward) since it makes the curls flow away from your face, opening up your face more.
3. Once you pull your hair out of the curling iron, pull it straight for a few seconds, until the hair has cooled.
4-5. Repeat on the other side.
6. Finally, shake out the curls to loosen them up and make them look natural.
Overall, explained Reagan, adding heat does wonders for your hair, since it smoothes it and makes it shinier. This technique makes your curls look more controlled and graceful—and less crazy!
Thank you so much, Reagan!

Beautiful styles, but I'd love to see something on actual curly hair though :) Magazines always do this too, "curly" hair tutorials a on girls with a slight wave, lol, so not the same thing! They are pretty though.
ReplyDeleteRepliesMe, too! I've got too many corkscrews for this style... But I love all of your hair tutorials, anyway!
DeleteThank you! I agree. I sometimes feel like I'm a curly girl in a straight-haired world. Nobody except other curlies get it.
DeleteWoah, woah, woah JO. These are not curls.
these are curls. Teach me how to style THESE curls.Yes, I agree. I'm starting to think that you what you really mean is tutorials for making your hair look curly, and not tutorials for actual curly hair.
...or you can just wear your semi-wet hair up in a bun or braid it and then you get wavy hair without any damage or work.
ReplyDeleteRepliesAnother good technique for making the most out of already naturally wavy hair, with no heat for when your hair is wet is to simply divide your hair into 2-4 sections, twist each section and let air dry. When hair is almost dry, unravel and tousle - voila. Just like here: http://prettygossip.com/2012/02/29/gorgeous-soft-waves-with-no-heat/
I think the curling iron technique works best on second-day hair, the technique I mention above is good right after washing!
Here's the question I have whenever I see tutorials like this on pinterest or other blogs, but I have never asked. I already have very curly hair...like super tight shirly temple curls underneath, with the crown of my head being more wavy. I would love to re-create this look but I have no idea how to do it with hair that is really curly. Do you blow dry it straight first. ANY advice is welcome... (www.blairsays.com)
ReplyDeleteRepliessounds like you and i have the same hair...very curly at the nape of neck and then random frizzy waves. I still use this technique that reagan uses. I have a 2' curling iron though. I pin my hair up, work from the bottom, and curl about 1 inch sections of my whole head to get the look above. other times, i go to sleep with my hair damp and wake up in the morning and curl the super tight curls at the nape of the neck and just the section framing my face to have a more polished look when my hair is curly.
This is JUST what I needed this week!
My hair is thin and bone-straight (fun, right?) so my ponytails always look boring and limp. Adding some wave is just what I've been trying to do, but with no success. I'll give this a try, thanks lady!
Has anyone ever tried braiding your hair, and then straightening the braid? I've heard that's another secret trick, but not sure if it works :)
xAs a curly girl who has been asking for hair tutorials for ages, this actually fits beautifully with where I'm at right now. I usually either flat-iron or put my hair up in a bun after a shower, and in the latter case, I'm left with something that looks a lot like Reagan's starting place. Not straight, not smooth, kinda nuts around the bottom. This is a beautiful fix that doesn't require starting over.
Thank you!Not to jump on the bandwagon here, but speaking as a girl with 27 years of curly-hair-having experience, I feel qualified in pointing out that her hair is hardly curly. It's slightly wavy (and enhanced with heat tools) at best. There is a huge audience looking for new ways to style and wear our natural curls and corkscrews that doesn't require removing the curl before putting it back in! We would love to see a feature like that!
ReplyDeleteRepliesI have pin-straight hair, and I even feel qualified pointing out that this is NOT curly hair. There was a similar response to the first "curly hair" tutorial, so hopefully there will be a real one soon..
DeleteAgreed with Marie above (and every other commenter pointing out that Reagan, while a beautifully-coiffed girl, does not have curly hair.) Please stop billing her and these tutorials as 'for curly hair'. I'm sure you saw that the overwhelming majority of comments on Reagan's last 'curly hair' tutorial were mildly annoyed readers who didn't appreciate the mislabeling of the style tutorial. It's quite galling to see once again.
hey curly girls!! I also have super curly hair and here's what I do to get this same look!! (really, look at the photo on my blog)
AHEM. so after a shower, I comb through my hair with a kinda wide-toothed comb to get out all the tangles and separate the curls. I spray on some beachy spray (Bumble & Bumble?) and use the tips of my fingers to twist oil (Moroccan or Gooseberry or Nuxe) onto the very tippy-tips of my hair. then I blow-dry my hair (low heat if I have time, high heat if it's a normal, hurried day) while combing it with the comb. it allows some of the natural body to come through, but it combs out the super-curls and keeps the crown from being too poofy.
then I do this exact method shown here, wrapping portions of hair/curl around the barrel of a curling iron. I do it in like 10 sections. I have thick hair, so this whole process takes me about an hour. but, once I have perfect beachy waves, I don't have to wash my hair again for another 4-5 days. thank god for my shower cap ;)
hope this helps!!PS: after I blow-dry my curly hair with the comb, it looks SOOOO BAD. I call it my "George Washington" wig. it's like, big and wavy and just really really fluffy. don't get discouraged when you get to this stage!! I promise, you can tame down that fluff and make it look so perfect and beachy and natural. I get lots of comments/compliments on my hair and it makes the whole process totally worth it! :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful hair! I can't wait until it's warm and I can let my hair air dry over night and just add these curls again!
EverydayEphee.comHi, I love your blog and I read it every day. I just have to say one thing... this isn't curly hair, this is wavy hair... us girls with curly hair can say that it is quite difficult to find any real tips for real curls, although it is easy to have them natural, it is difficult to find out how to style them, I would really love to see more tips on how to handle real curls and maybe suggestions on different styles. Thank you!!! :D
ReplyDeleteIm having a rEALLY hard time seeing a difference in the before and after pics. A little less frizzy perhaps.? My hair is very similar but I refer to it more as wavy, bendy, and annoying! I do get some ringlets but they are mixed in with a mash of other shapes. I would never spend time curling it to look essentially the same. I either blow it straight or diffuse it into much curlier. Ive noticed many of your pictures with hair, it seems like the hair isn't brushed. Is this a NYC style?
ReplyDeleteMy hair is wavy, and for some strange reason I feel like I need to stand up for the curly haired girls and say this is NOT curly hair. Not even a little bit. You should change these to "wavy hair" tutorials and find a girl with actual curly hair to do your next series. Even I would be offended if you did another "curly hair" tutorial with this girl after all of the feedback your readers are giving you.
ReplyDeletePlease don't confuse curls with waves. Two totally different beasts! Curly girls have spent years looking at magazines telling them straight > curls, and how to "curl" wavy hair- and have only been able to internalize the frustration. Doing this on a blog, with comments, can be dangerous.
Just to illustrate the point- a magazine [Lucky?] once sent a girl out with CURLY hair to test the crazy reactions she received. It was in a section where they usually try out a crazy trend like "no pants" or something. It was insanely offensive. If you are wondering the "over-reaction" it comes from years and years of being marginalized in magazines/ hair care.
Now if you had called this a wavy hair tutorial you would only being receiving positive response.
Cheers!I love Reagan and her blog, and hair is beautiful, but curly it isn't. Here's me with my curly hair:
Do a tutorial for hair like THAT please!My hair would be considered borderline wavy/curly (depends on humidity!), but this technique is what I use a lot - you can do pieces throughout and it makes it a little more defined and less unruley than just letting it curl on its own. Unless you have very defined corkscrew curls, I think this works pretty well.
ReplyDeleteHow is Shirley Temple's hair "too girly"? Girls who are born with very curly hair are hardly "too" anything.
ReplyDeleteRepliesI think she just means that Shirley Temple's hair was so carefully heat styled into perfect, princess-like ringlets, whereas natural curls just look real, and not so precise, or girly.
Deleteoh yes, she has very curly hair herself, she is just saying to stay away from the ringlets look, which you really only get from styling.
DeleteI completely agree! The model shown has what I consider to be wavy hair--not curly.
Joanna, I would love to see some real curly hair tutorials:) Thank you so much for your amazing posts
Thank you for all these great comments! Reagan and I thought her hair qualified as a certain type of curly hair, but I see your point about Reagan's hair being more like "beachy waves" than straight-up curls. The styles we shared are perfect for girls with natural curls and waves, but I understand that some of you ladies have ringlets and corkscrew curls. Stay tuned for a tutorial just for you... It will be coming up soon! Thanks so much for pointing this out. xoxo
ReplyDeleteNice article that helpfull every body.

Kettlebell exercises fitness expert Lorna Kleidman comments on article published by Yahoo! Lifestyle on fitness tips for 2013.
Bohemia, NY (PRWEB) January 11, 2013
On January 11, kettlebell exercises fitness trainer Lorna Kleidman comments on the article published by Yahoo! Lifestyle, U.K. and Ireland edition, about workout tips that produce results for 2013.
The Yahoo! article provides a series of ways to start getting in shape for 2013. According to the article, "cut down" on all the holiday treats, such as desserts and alcohol; "get sweaty" by choosing an exercise routine at a gym or at home on a DVD; "lose fat not weight" by having four meals a day containing a balance of protein and vegetables; and enjoy "occasional treats" after losing fat.
Based on the article's tips, getting in shape involves not only an ambitious workout schedule, but also requires participants to maintain a healthy diet. The article reports, "For more gradual fat loss or to maintain the figure you've worked hard on, you can keep starchy carbs (healthy ones) in at breakfast and for after you've trained."
According to the article, weight training can also make a huge impact on weight loss.
The Yahoo! article states, "One very important myth most women still believe in is that weights will make them big and muscle bound. Nothing could be further from the truth. Weights keep your bones strong, muscles toned and body fat low."
Fitness trainer Lorna Kleidman commends the article's tips and says, "It's important to stay healthy and active if you want to start the New Year right." She adds, "There are many ways to stay in shape, but it's important that you find the right workout for you and have fun throughout your transformation. When it comes to utilizing weight training in the New Year, kettlebells are revolutionary weights that anyone can learn to use."
Lorna Kleidman is a Three-Time World Champion and World Record holder in kettlebell sport and the most decorated kettlebell athlete in the country. She developed the innovated methods used in KettleX as a way to bring the benefits of the bells to everyone in an easy to use, comprehensive and fun format. Lorna has been teaching individuals and group classes for the past six years.

Vatican police who searched the apartments of the pope's former butler, Paolo Gabriele, as they investigated a suspected leak told a court Wednesday how they found more than 1,000 important documents among a stash of hundreds of thousands.
Among them were original papers signed by Pope Benedict XVI, some of them stamped with an order for destruction, according to a briefing from the small pool of journalists allowed to attend the trial in a Vatican courthouse.
The former butler declared himself innocent Tuesday of a charge of aggravated theft in connection with leaked documents -- but said he had abused the pope's trust.
Testifying Wednesday, Officer Silvano Carli said that among the huge quantity of documents found in Gabriele's possession, "more than 1,000, both original and photocopies, were of interest."
Police also found many newspaper clippings and printouts from Internet searches, the court heard. Much of the material had a religious or spiritual theme, touching on Buddhism, Christianity, Catholicism and yoga. Other articles concerned Freemasonry.
The four officers said that it had taken them almost eight hours to search through the papers accumulated by Gabriele and that they had found "important" documents mixed in with irrelevant material as if it "had been hidden."
As well as the documents, a gold nugget belonging to the pope and a check made out to the pontiff were found in a shoebox.
The officers said they had searched the apartment mainly for documents and did not give "much weight" to the discovery of the gold nugget and signed check because they "knew that it was Gabriele's job to handle the gifts the pope received during his trips."
They also seized a couple of computers, an iPad, a hard drive and USB drives.
In total, 82 boxes of evidence were collected from Gabriele's apartments in Vatican City and Castel Gondolfo, a small town near Rome.

21:58... Since the last update (19:24:42) I have not seen the progress bar progress. This was also the last log entry. There is an ETA (7:23:43, fluctuates) however, which I did not see when it (seemingly) got stuck last time.
Also from the network history I can see it has been getting header data for the last few hours.
The steady red 100k line is caused by the header downloads. Eweka has a 100kbyte/s header download limit.
The normal behavior, seen from the log, is
- selecting group
- updating binary info (gives an ETA and proper progress report)

There you go.
(It's not really practical to have headers above the amount 10-20M currently; it just takes too long to index. In boneless this is just 2-3 days unfortunately (4M+ per day)

Just looked at the log. Last thing I did is set it to autoupdate-every-hour.
The updating binaries takes ~2 hours while the updating setinfo seems finished within minutes. It skipped the 1:00 and 5:00 cycle due to being busy. But no freezing.
I'll enable the other groups and set it to autoupdate-every-3-hours.
Is there a way to speed things up? - I mean is urd getting (some) headers it already has or is it getting the absolute latest ones, which it doesn't have?
The boneless group is now already at 10M, while the initial update was at 5M. Is this due to the incomplete sets set at 7-days expiration (default expiration=1 day)?

URD shouldn't get any articles it already downloaded before. It keeps track of what it has downloaded and goes from there. Even if you interrupt and update.
You may look into mysqltuner.pl to find some speed up in the database.

I've kind of come to a best solution to dealing with large groups:
"Default expire time (in days): " =1
This is the how many days of headers it will initially collect.
"Age of removed files: " =4 (was 8 )
"Age of volatile database info :" =4 (was 8 )
Setting this lower yields a much lower and manageable database. Boneless ~5MB (was>12MB)
"Expire after update: " no (un-tick)
With large groups and (3) ticked, the exipiration phase causes urd to become unresponsive. In firefox the urd page is not loading and causes other tabs not to load as well. This can be unlocked by pressing ESC un the urd tab. Even with this un-ticked, processing the large groups takes some time and can cause urd to become unresponsive - you just have to wait. I also set the autoupdate of large groups to 3 hours, starting at 0:50 and the smaller ones to 1 hour, starting at 0:00.
Since (3) is unticked, I:
"Optimise database:" daily
"Clean database of volatile information : " daily
From (2) I would expect that the database contains data from up to 4 days old. I can't find data>1day however. Is this normal?

I never have any problems with URD, or the system in general, being unresponsive during updating, even with tasks that take many hours to complete. Searching sets etc is almost as fast as without these tasks running.
If you have the option, try having the DB files (/var/lib/mysql) on a physically separate disk - this well help a lot since the system disk won't be thrashed anymore and system load won't go crazy. Even just a separate partition for /var/lib/mysql may help a little bit, but physically different (and fast disk) helps the most. On a raid setup, a separate LUN is important (has to do with command queuing, per LUN)

, indeed sounds like a system performance issue. It is anyway good to hear that it is not reproducible on your side. It doesn't surprise me, if I think of it, since running a proper 1080p from hda has not been doable even before urd was installed. hellanzb/rar/par caused too much disk activity.
I have all located on hda (=also / disk) , just to put hdc and hdd to sleep after 30mins.
l may run an experiment to have mysql on hdc for a while.
What about the 4 days expiration setting? How is this reflected by what the user can see?
With the settings I kind of expected:
get-1-day-old-headers -> store in 4-day-history-database

Well I CAN reproduce it - when I had everything, including the DB, in the same VM and on the same disk, system load could go up over 30
I even managed to crash the kernel a couple of times, was a long time ago I managed to do that.. Those problems went away however since I moved the DB outside of the VM, but most importantly to it's own disks, used for nothing else. System load is usually around 1.4-2.5 during large set updates, and since most of that is going to dedicated disks, other tasks and system in general run just fine.
par2/unrar is different, here all you can do is throw lots of RAM and fast disks at the problem. I can currently stream 1080p to my media player while unraring without hickups, but my last setup couldn't do that. You need plenty of RAM (for file cache) and fast disks. If course it would help a lot here too if you would par and unrar on disks other than those used for viewing files. Adjusting nice levels for urdd and it's child processes would help too, but I haven't had the need to experiment with this myself (I got a new home server recently so the HW being fast solves a lot of the performance issues I had earlier)
Since you have 3 physical drives you can improve plenty by using them. Spread the disk IO. Don't let your HW sleep dude
The "default expiration" from admin config is just the value that will be chosen for you when you subscribe to new groups, it doesn't change anything by itself. The expiration can be changed for the individual groups afterwards too, and what happens is what one can expect: The next time expire is run (by default it's run automatically after an update) articles (and sets) older than this setting are removed and no longer available for download (you can save an NZB file though if you may want to download something later)
Edit: If you do a purge and full header DL, the expiration setting will be respected and you will end up with 4 days retention. If you started out with a setting of 1 however, and then increase it to 4 and update headers, it doesn't mean it will grow to 4 immediately. What happens is that nothing will be deleted from that group by "expire" until it's 4 days old, that is in 3 days in this example. Hope that clears it up

The system is a 2.6GHz hyperthreading with 1GB RAM. It's already an oldy but suits me well for now. Consumption is 55~85W 24/7. You can see stats at 188.8.131.52. The system load is 6.5 when DL/rar/par and urd-handling, which is a bit high.
I just changed the mysql DB to hdc and upped the expiration to 3 days. Lets see how it behaves.
I still don't fully grasp the (2) setting. If (1) default expiration (or individual group expiration) is set to 1, then how will (2), set to 4, will have any effect. I.e. all>1day will be deleted due to (1), right?
There is also a "Expire time for incomplete sets (in days, 0 to disable): " setting. It overrides the (1) and (2) setting?
Many thanks for explaining.

The incomplete sets options remove incomplete sets (given the percentage) after the given time, regardless of the per-set expire date. So if a group has expire set to 10 days and incomplete is set to 3 all incomplete sets will be removed from that group after 3 days. All other sets after 10 days.
I'll have to dig in the browse page to recall how exactly the hidden, expire and all the other options work. There is another bug in browse that you can't search in hidden groups, even when that this the selected group. I'll fix that all later.

After I moved the mysql DB to hdc I have not had a single hickup. Expire is up to 5 days and boneless has had 20MB of data. Surely
all the data takes some time but the processing itself doesn't cause problems.
Thankyou very much for clearing the view.

I noticed an update_db for 1.0.4 to 1.0.5 in svn (1437?). Do I need to run something to get it working?. I'm still at 1423 (i think). I'm at work now, can't hack.
How do I manually update the db again?

Yea the update script is needed. If you can't run it, you'd have to add a dirty (smallint) to each parts_XXX and binaries_XXX table.

Reab4, I'm happy I was able to help out a little. Cool to hear you got your performance issues sorted out!
There are great things in progress in the 1.0.5 svn code, but like Spearhead says it's a bit unstable currently. You might want to backup your DB if you care about it and in general hold on to your hat
Please report any findings though - the more testers the better!

The Iranian exile group Mujahedin-e-Khalq has been removed from a State Department terror list, officials said.
The group was put on the list of Foreign Terrorist Organizations, which includes more than 50 groups like al Qaeda and Hezbollah, in 1997 because of the killing of six Americans in Iran in the 1970s and an attempted attack against the Iranian mission to the United Nations in 1992.
However, since 2004 the United States has considered the group, which has lived for more than 25 years at a refugee camp in Iraq, "noncombatants" and "protected persons" under the Geneva Conventions.
Mujahedin-e-Khalq's move from Camp Ashraf is nearing completion under the auspices of the United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq. The members are relocating to a temporary site there before being resettled in third countries.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was under a court order to decide by October 1 whether to remove the group from the terror list.
"With today's actions, the department does not overlook or forget the MEK's past acts of terrorism, including its involvement in the killing of U.S. citizens in Iran in the 1970s and an attack on U.S. soil in 1992," the State Department said in a statement.
"The department also has serious concerns about the MEK as an organization, particularly with regard to allegations of abuse committed against its own members.
"The Secretary's decision today took into account the MEK's public renunciation of violence, the absence of confirmed acts of terrorism by MEK for more than a decade, and their cooperation in the peaceful closure of Camp Ashraf, their historic paramilitary base," the statement said.
Maryam Rajavi, head of Mujahedin-e-Khalq and president-elect of the National Council of Resistance, praised the decision Friday.
"I understand that this decision was difficult and required political courage," Rajavi said in a statement. "This has been the correct decision, albeit long overdue, in order to remove a major obstacle in the path of the Iranian people's efforts for democracy. For more than a decade, the mullahs made every effort to prevent removal of this designation.

If I understand correctly, every single COM object must inherit from the IUnknown interface, directly or indirectly. IUnknown is the very base building block of everything COM. Period.
Then, IUnknown itself is a mere interface with no implementation.
Speaking strict C++ OOP, IUnknown exposes pure virtual methods which you must override as you inherit from it.
Here are IUnknown's methods. Any interface inheriting from IUnknown must provide its own implementation for each:
- ::QueryInterface()
- ::AddRef()
- ::Release()
Any *other* interface inheriting from something even remotely inherited from IUnknown, must also re-implement IUnknown's 3 methods. And although it's syntactically possible to manually invoke the method implementation from any ancestor interface (that is, forward a call to any ancestor interface), it is Bad COM Design that is going to bite you eventually (I'm just not told how).
The bottom line is that you do not forward. You do override.
With all that said, I am currently wondering at how to implement my QueryInterface().
If I am forbidden to forward the call to my ancestor's QueryInterface() (to automagically support all its interfaces) then how do I get to enforce the support? My ancestor interface isn't written by me - and I can't look at its source. I can't guess by trial and error. That's no serious approach.
How do I discover which interfaces my ancestor supports, then?
