Veteran American rocker Stephen Stills has found tapes of an album he recorded with Jimi Hendrix 38 years ago.
The startling revelation came from Still's CSNY bandmate, Graham Nash. In an interview with the Las Vegas Sun, Nash says he wants to help compile a box-set for Stills. "He has an enormous history of recording," Nash says. "In the '70s, he was a recording fool. He just found a bloody album he made with Hendrix.
"'Oh yeah, I forgot that.' We've got to listen to that... I want to listen to every track he ever recorded in case he recorded with Al Jolson."
The recordings were made in 1970, the same year that Hendrix died, and will be fascinating to the millions of Hendrix completists around the world. Hendrix's solo work in progress at the time of his death has previously been issued as the album First Rays Of The New Rising Sun, but the news of extensive recordings with Stills is a revelation.
Recordings are "historically significant"
According to Hendrix author and expert Brad Tolinski of Guitar World, the recordings will be of genuine interest.
"In 1970, both Jimi and Stephen were in their creative prime, so there is every possibility that these recordings could be quite good and historically significant," Tolinski tells MusicRadar. "There is no doubt that anyone interested in either Hendrix or Stills, or great guitar playing in general, will want to hear this collaboration."
Stills' 1970 self-titled debut album did feature Hendrix on one track, Old Times Good Times, but now it seems that there is an album's worth of material. Stills' album also featured Eric Clapton, but it's not known whether there is a track featuring all three guitarists - Clapton has never claimed he recorded with Hendrix, even though the two were friends.
Stills is now cleaning up for the tapes and preparing the Stills/Hendrix album for an official release.

The beautiful Lake Taupō is about the size of Singapore – more of an inland sea really.
Taupō was created nearly two thousand years ago by a volcanic eruption so big it darkened the skies in Europe and China. Visit the Craters of the Moon and you'll see evidence of the lake's fiery birth in the geysers, steaming craters and boiling mud pools. At some of Taupō's beaches, swimmers and paddlers can enjoy warm, geothermal water currents.
Just north of Taupō you'll find New Zealand's most visited attraction, the magnificent Huka Falls, where more than 220,000 litres of water thunder over the cliff face every second.
Taupō is a great lake for water-skiing, sailing and kayaking. The Maori rock carvings at Mine Bay, which can only be seen from the water, make for a great boat trip or kayaking excursion. The forests surrounding the lake offer hiking and mountain biking to suit all levels of experience.
But what Taupō is really known for is fishing. The town of Turangi has the largest natural trout fishery in the world; this is the place to cast a line and look for the big one. Turangi also happens to provide a convenient base for exploring Tongariro National Park, whether it be walking the Tongariro Alpine Crossing (New Zealand's most popular day walk) or skiing at Whakapapa and Turoa ski fields.
Taupō is centrally located in the middle of the North Island, approximately 3 1/2 hours drive from Auckland and 4 1/2 hours drive from Wellington. There's a genuinely friendly culture here and plenty of accommodation – so why not stay awhile?

Star Wanderer
It was a period of great boredom.
The Wander Over Yonder Crew,
having one of several extended lunches,
discussed ideal cross-overs for their
beloved orange hairy spoon.
During the lunch, two
Staffers conceived of a
crossover with Disney's ultimate weapon, STAR
WARS, a property so massive that
they'd never let us near it.
In a completely unofficial, fan art capacity,
those two staffers created a comic
about a strange encounter
somewhere in the galaxy…
Again, very very unofficial. Entirely not for profit. Please don't sue us.

We're breaking from the usual weekend cocktail routine and looking ahead to my personal favorite holiday, Thanksgiving, for a special nod. It's a day to take stock in what you have and give thanks, a remembrance of our national heritage and 24 hours of binge eating like none other. Here's a sampling of cocktails that will make this Thanksgiving a holiday to remember.
Before the Feast
Thanksgiving dinner is a process. For anyone who has attempted to prepare the meal, I feel for you. It's one of early morning turkey prep, pie construction, potato peeling, bean snapping and gravy sautéing. And that's just half of it! On Thanksgiving, I am thankful I have been bestowed with a Y chromosome, which largely relegates my job during the festivities to making sure the football games are on and the beer is freshly iced. Sometimes its good to be a guy.
With that said, I respect the women in my life for creating this feast every November (and for recreating it a short month later for Christmas). So to keep the atmosphere jovial and light, a pre-dinner cocktail is order. To keep with the Thanksgiving theme and a shout out to the mashed potato maker—the most mundane but important job in the Thanksgiving kitchen—here's a cocktail with potatoes on the mind: Garlic Rosemary Potato Cocktail.
Garlic Rosemary Potato Cocktail
- 2½ oz. rosemary-lavender infused vodka (recipe below)
- ½ oz. of dry vermouth
Garnish: Garlic stuffed queen olives speared with a rosemary sprig.
In a cocktail shaker with ice, add vodka and vermouth, then shake until it's cold. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass; garnish with a garlic-stuffed olive speared with a rosemary sprig.
Rosemary-Lavender Infused Vodka
- 3 cups vodka (Boyd & Blair Potato Vodka)
- 1 oz. fresh rosemary leaves (no twigs)
- 1 oz. fresh lavender flowers and leaves
For this infusion, it is important to stick with the Thanksgiving theme and use potato vodka. (Would you attempt to pass off boxed taters as the real thing on Thanksgiving? I think not!) Try Boyd & Blair Potato Vodka, a small batch distillery from Pennsylvania.
We're looking for earthy notes this time of year, so rosemary and lavender make a nice pair. Fresh is best, but fresh lavender may be hard to come by, so dried will work in a pinch. De-stem the herbs, using just the leaves of the rosemary, and the leaves and flowers of the lavender—the stem leaves a slightly bitter taste. Add vodka and herbs into a Mason jar and seal. Give a good shake and let sit in a cool, dark place for a minimum of five days, shaking every now and then to mix the flavors.
Strain before serving.
Turkey Time
Thanksgiving is synonymous with turkey. A regal bird, the turkey has long been engrained in our national tapestry—Benjamin Franklin lobbied for this gobbler to be the national fowl. But even with this national pedigree, I contend bourbon gives the turkey a run for its authentic Americana money.
Born in the bluegrass of Kentucky, bourbon whiskey is a part of the fabric of this country, a mash-up of Southern charm and American grit. So when tinkering with the idea of Thanksgiving cocktails, a sip from a Kentucky original, Wild Turkey, was the first to hit our radar. The cocktail Pass the Turkey, courtesy of Wild Turkey, is the perfect sip for the season—a mix of all your favorite flavors with a high-proof kick and a rather bizarre but tasty finish. Enjoy!
Pass the Turkey
- 1½ oz. Wild Turkey 101 Bourbon
- 2 oz. apple cider
- 1 tbs. cranberry sauce
- 1 sprig fresh sage
- 1 sprig fresh thyme
Garnish: Sprig of thyme; sprig of sage; turkey gravy and breadcrumb rimmed glass.
In a cocktail shaker, muddle sage, thyme and apple cider. Add ice, Wild Turkey and cranberry sauce; shake well.
Meanwhile, rim a bar glass for the finished drink. First, take the glass and dip the lip in turkey gravy, then run the rim in a bed of breadcrumbs.
To finish, strain cocktail shaker over ice. Garnish with a sage leaf and sprig of thyme.
The After-Meal Malaise: Leftovers Find New Life
One of the best things about Thanksgiving is the leftovers. In my family, no Thanksgiving is complete without the midnight sandwich stacked with turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, cranberry sauce and gravy. But this usually leads to slim pickings come the weekend, with turkey, stuffing and potatoes being long gone come the FSU vs. UF game Saturday. However, those bowls of cranberry sauce persist, bright red reminders of the caloric bender that is holiday eating.
Fully embracing the "No Food Left Behind" mantra of giving thanks, I've got a remedy that'll add a little fiesta to your Thanksgiving party, utilizing leftover cranberry sauce.
Cranberry Jalapeno Margarita
- 2½ oz. silver tequila (Patron fellas, don't skimp)
- ½ oz. Cointreau
- ½ oz. fresh lemon juice
- ½ oz. fresh lime juice
- ½ oz. cranberry-jalapeno puree (recipe below)
- 1 oz. cranberry-jalapeno simple syrup (recipe below)
Combine ingredients in a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake vigorously until cold. Strain into a bar glass filled with ice, garnish with a lime slice.
Cranberry-Jalapeno Puree
- Cranberry sauce leftovers
- 1 jalapeno
Combine your leftover cranberry sauce into a blender or food processor. Depending on volume of the cranberry sauce, add chopped and de-seeded jalapeno to taste (about one whole jalapeno to two cups of cranberry sauce for a lighter spice). Puree until smooth; strain before using.
Cranberry-Jalapeno Simple Syrup
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 tbs. cranberry-jalapeno puree, strained
Stir sugar, water and puree together in a medium saucepan, bringing to a low boil. Let simmer for a minute or two, letting thicken. Remove from heat; allow to cool before using.

Tools of the Trade
Become a master mixologist, or at least look like one, with the tools that make the trade.
- Muddler: This little tenderizing stick is a godsend and a must for any home bar. If fruity cocktails are in your future, the muddler is the only way to unlock fruits' flavor.
- Handheld Citrus Juicer: Nothing beats freshly squeezed juice, but it can be a pain. Invest in a handheld citrus juicer; they are cheap and do the trick tout de suite.
- Cocktail Shaker: Don't be a chump stirring your martini like a noob; purchase a nice shaker and become a master home barkeep.
- Jigger: This little apparati will make mixing the perfect drink as easy as pie. It's equipped with 1½ oz. and ¾ oz. cups for perfectly measured pours every time.

One of the most famous monasteries of Montenegro – Praskvica Monastery – celebrates the 600th anniversary of its foundation. This is the oldest spiritual and religious complex which is inseparably linked with Russia. According to a legend, it was Russian monks who were among its founders and came and lived there through the ages.
Russia and Montenegro has had a long history of friendly relationships. Both countries adhere to the Orthodox Church which united them and today only strengthens their ties. Sinisha Smilich, one of the monastery's priests said in an interview with the Voice of Russia.
"This place is famous as many Russians came and come here and we, the locals, always did our best to make them feel comfortable. The fact that many churches and cathedrals are dedicated to Russian saints is another proof of our affection towards Russia. Sometimes we smile that there is a small Russia, here, on the Adriatic Sea. Our love to the Russian people may seem strange but it's sincere," he says.
Today Praskvica men's monastery consists of two churches, the superior's house and a library. Once it was much bigger but in 1812 Napoleon army soldiers destroyed it almost to the ground because the Serbian people sided with Russia which France was waging a war with at the time.
There is no exact date of the foundation of the monastery. The only thing known for sure is that governing back then Belša III charted the building of a church dedicated to St Nicholas the Wonderworker. The locals claim that "some Russian wandering monk" inspired him. It's also known that in the 19th century Praskvica was reconstructed on the money from Russian humanitarians.
There is a touching legend handed over from generation to generation about a Russian hermit, Yegor Stroganov, and his daughter. The young woman run away from home and her father set off to faraway Montenegro to dedicate his life to prayers and hard labor. However, a few years after the girl regretted her behavior and, having disguised herself in men's cloths, settled in Praskvica.
She revealed a secret only before her death. Since then local monks have been taking care of a modest tomb with only one inscription that reads 'Yegor and Yelizaveta Stroganovy'.
Nevertheless, the monastery is not the only one where the memory about Russians is kept carefully. There are gifts from Russia in more than 600 monasteries throughout the country. Russian tsars loved the Montenegrin people and supported them the best they could.
For example, an icon presented by Alexander I is kept in Reževići monastery, not far from Praskvica, Archimandrite Khrizostom, the monastery's superior told the Voice of Russia correspondent.
"One of the local priests from the village of Rževići was forced to flee to Russia as he had problems with the Austria-Hungary government which was oppressing us at the time. He became a priest for the Navy. After retiring he decided to build our monastery on his own money. Different people from Rus helped him with it," the Archimandrite says.
Spiritual and cultural ties continue connecting Russia and Montenegro today. Many compatriots, residing in Montenegro or coming here on vacation, visit monasteries and contribute to the development with what they have.
Tatyana and her two daughters came to the country half a year ago. In order to distract themselves from bitter thoughts caused by the separation with their homeland, the women sing in Russian and Serbian in various Montenegrin churches and cathedrals, including Praskvica.
"Once we came when a service was being held and sang a liturgy in Russian. Then we began singing in Serbian. We learned Serbian and now sing in monasteries. The liturgy in Serbian differs from the Russian one by its tunefulness. It's very beautiful. Serbians treat us very well and I'm sure that all of them love the Russian people. I don't have a single Serbian or Montenegrin friend who doesn't like Russians or Russia," Tatyana says.
The main present for the 600th anniversary o the monastery is to be given t it later, when at the beginning of October Patriarch Kirill will visit Montenegro. Although he is not going to come to Praskvica, the monastery clergy will travel to the capital of the country to meet him. "We have to see him as he is like father to us," Serbian monks smile shyly.

I'm wondering if I need to be mindful of how well my grains are crushed if I'm just using them for steeping.
Do I need to get my LHBS to crush my grains or use the rolling pin / bag method? Or can I just whiz them in my coffee grinder? Does it matter how crushed they are? What harm could I cause if I end up with a fine powder?
In this question, Denny mentioned a couple of things: that the crush is less crucial, but also that sticking to 1.5 qt/lb (~3L/kg) is important to regulate the pH for steeping. Does this change up or down based on how the grain is crushed? My coffee grinder is fairly inconsistent with it's grinding, so if I over / under crush I'd like to adjust if it's necessary.

3. O God, You forsook us, You have breached us! You grew furious-restore us!
4. You made the earth quake, You split it apart-heal its fragments, for it totters!
5. You showed Your nation harshness, You gave us benumbing wine to drink.
6. [Now] give those who fear You a banner to raise themselves, for the sake of truth, Selah.
7. That Your beloved ones may be delivered, help with Your right hand and answer me.
8. God said with His Holy [Spirit] that I would exult; I would divide Shechem, and measure out the Valley of Succot.
9. Mine is Gilead, mine is Menasseh, and Ephraim is the stronghold of my head; Judah is my prince.
10. Moab is my washbasin, and upon Edom I will cast my shoe; for me, Philistia will sound a blast [of coronation].
11. Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who will lead me unto Edom?
12. Is it not You, God, Who has [until now] forsaken us, and did not go forth with our legions?
13. Grant us relief from the oppressor; futile is the salvation of man.
14. With God we will do valiantly, and He will trample our oppressors.

Performance data quoted represents past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results, investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost, and current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Investors may call 1-800-866-0614 to obtain performance data current to the most recent month-end.
You may lose money investing in the Fund. Mutual fund shares are not deposits or obligations of, or guaranteed or endorsed by, any bank or the U.S. government. Securities held by the fund may be downgraded or default, lowering the value of the securities. For single state funds, regional factors may cause the fund to decline in value more than a fund holding securities from many states. The fund is subject to management risk, because it is an actively managed investment portfolio. There is no guarantee that the investment objectives of the fund will be achieved. As interest rates rise, bond prices fall.
Yield data shown is based on calculations as further explained in the Statement of Additional Information which is available upon request. The 30 Day Distribution Yield represents the annualized average dividend divided by the average number of shares for the past 30 days. The 30 Day Compound Yield represents the 30 Day Distribution Yield compounded quarterly for those shareholders who elect to reinvest dividends. NAV Per Share is defined as Net Asset Value per share. Nominal Maturity is the dollar-weighted average number of years to final maturity of bonds held in the portfolio. Average Effective Maturity is the dollar-weighted average of the number of years to the likely redemption date of the securities held in the portfolio, taking into account embedded options such as call features. Duration is a measure of the interest rate sensitivity of securities held in the portfolio, taking into account embedded options such as call features. AMT is Federal Alternative Minimum Tax. Performance data shown represents past performance and is not a guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate, so you may have a gain or loss when shares are sold. Quoted fund expenses are taken from the fee table of the most recent prospectus.
For each fund with at least a three-year history, Morningstar calculates a Morningstar Rating based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a fund's monthly performance (including the effects of sales charges, loads, and redemption fees), placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The top 10% of funds in each category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. (Each share class is counted as a fraction of one fund within this scale and rated separately, which may cause slight variations in the distribution percentages.) The Overall Morningstar Rating for a fund is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its three-, five- and ten-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating metrics.

The Source of Lasting Change
This devotional was written by Doug Fields
Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. —John 15:4-5
The story has been told of a Minnesota man who retired. Seeking change, he moved to Florida where he would escape the cold winters, relax and live out his years in a warm and sunny climate. He spent his days going to the beach and laying under the sun. Six months after he moved to Florida, the man died. His body was shipped back to Minnesota for the funeral. His friends attended the funeral and stood in front of the open casket. They stood there for a moment and then one friend remarked, "Whoa! Florida sure did him good!"
The man had tanned considerably while in Florida, but the point is, he was still dead. Florida was the source of the man's change, but what good is that change now?
We too hope for change. Maybe it's the hope of moving to Florida someday. Perhaps, for you, cosmetic surgery is the answer. Or, maybe it's a bigger home, a better job, a more attractive spouse or whatever else it is that you think you need. You may pursue this type of change, but once you get it, if you don't have the real and lasting source of change, you'll end up empty and searching for the next best thing in your pursuit of fulfillment.
In today's Scripture passage, we read about the real source of meaningful and lasting change, Jesus. He tells us that He is the vine and we are the branches. Only in our connection to Him will we find fulfilling change. Only in our connection to Him will we bear lasting fruit.
We're all connected to some vine. To what vine are you connected? Is it Jesus? Or, is it the vine of the world? No matter what, you're going to produce the fruit of the vine to which you are connected. So the question is, what kind of fruit are you producing? If you are connected to the vine of the world, you are going to produce bitter fruit that comes from your selfish old nature. If you are connected to the vine of Christ, you are going to produce fruit that comes from being connected to Jesus and the Spirit of God.
The most contented people I know are not the ones with the golden tans, the coolest cars, the biggest houses, the most attractive spouses, or the most perfect bodies. Instead, they are the people whose lives are marked by love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, faithfulness, and self-control. What's the secret to their contentment and fulfillment in life? They are people who are connected to Jesus, the only source of lasting change.
1. What type of fruit is your life producing?
2. To what vine would your closest friends say you are connected, the vine of Christ or the vine of the world? Why would they answer this way?
John 15:8; Galatians 5:19-23; Matthew 7:16-19

This document describes differences between the 5.6.0 release and the 5.7.0 release.Security Vulnerability Closed
A potential security vulnerability in the optional suidperl component of Perl has been identified. suidperl is neither built nor installed by default. As of September the 2nd, 2000, the only known vulnerable platform is Linux, most likely all Linux distributions. CERT and various vendors have been alerted about the vulnerability.The problem was caused by Perl trying to report a suspected security exploit attempt using an external program, /bin/mail. On Linux platforms the /bin/mail program had an undocumented feature which when combined with suidperl gave access to a root shell, resulting in a serious compromise instead of reporting the exploit attempt. If you don't have /bin/mail, or if you have 'safe setuid scripts', or if suidperl is not installed, you are safe.
The exploit attempt reporting feature has been completely removed from the Perl 5.7.0 release, so that particular vulnerability isn't there anymore. However, further security vulnerabilities are, unfortunately, always possible. The suidperl code is being reviewed and if deemed too risky to continue to be supported, it may be completely removed from future releases. In any case, suidperl should only be used by security experts who know exactly what they are doing and why they are using suidperl instead of some other solution such as sudo ( see http://www.courtesan.com/sudo/ ).
Incompatible Changes
- Arrays now always interpolate into double-quoted strings: constructs like ``foo@bar'' now always assume @bar is an array, whether or not the compiler has seen use of @bar.
- The semantics of bless(REF, REF) were unclear and until someone proves it to make some sense, it is forbidden.
- A reference to a reference now stringify as ``REF(0x81485ec)'' instead of ``SCALAR(0x81485ec)'' in order to be more consistent with the return value of ref().
- The very dusty examples in the eg/ directory have been removed. Suggestions for new shiny examples welcome but the main issue is that the examples need to be documented, tested and (most importantly) maintained.
- The obsolete chat2 library that should never have been allowed to escape the laboratory has been decommissioned.
- The unimplemented POSIX regex features [[.cc.]] and [[=c=]] are still recognised but now cause fatal errors. The previous behaviour of ignoring them by default and warning if requested was unacceptable since it, in a way, falsely promised that the features could be used.
- The (bogus) escape sequences \8 and \9 now give an optional warning (``Unrecognized escape passed through''). There is no need to \-escape any "\w" character.
- lstat(FILEHANDLE) now gives a warning because the operation makes no sense. In future releases this may become a fatal error.
- The long deprecated uppercase aliases for the string comparison operators (EQ, NE, LT, LE, GE, GT) have now been removed.
- The regular expression captured submatches ($1, $2, ...) are now more consistently unset if the match fails, instead of leaving false data lying around in them.
- The tr///C and tr///U features have been removed and will not return; the interface was a mistake. Sorry about that. For similar functionality, see pack('U0', ...) and pack('C0', ...).
Core Enhancements
- "perl -d:Module=arg,arg,arg" now works (previously one couldn't pass in multiple arguments.)
- my __PACKAGE__ $obj now works.
- "no Module;" now works even if there is no ``sub unimport'' in the Module.
- The numerical comparison operators return "undef" if either operand is a NaN. Previously the behaviour was unspecified.
- "pack('U0a*', ...)" can now be used to force a string to UTF-8.
- prototype(\&) is now available.
- There is now an UNTIE method.
Modules and Pragmata
New Modules
- File::Temp allows one to create temporary files and directories in an easy, portable, and secure way.
- Storable gives persistence to Perl data structures by allowing the storage and retrieval of Perl data to and from files in a fast and compact binary format.
Updated And Improved Modules and Pragmata
- The following independently supported modules have been updated to newer versions from CPAN: CGI, CPAN, DB_File, File::Spec, Getopt::Long, the podlators bundle, Pod::LaTeX, Pod::Parser, Term::ANSIColor, Test.
- Bug fixes and minor enhancements have been applied to B::Deparse, Data::Dumper, IO::Poll, IO::Socket::INET, Math::BigFloat, Math::Complex, Math::Trig, Net::protoent, the re pragma, SelfLoader, Sys::SysLog, Test::Harness, Text::Wrap, UNIVERSAL, and the warnings pragma.
- The attributes::reftype() now works on tied arguments.
- AutoLoader can now be disabled with "no AutoLoader;",
The English module can now be used without the infamous performance
hit by saying
use English '-no_performance_hit';
(Assuming, of course, that one doesn't need the troublesome variables "$`", $&, or "$'".) Also, introduced @LAST_MATCH_START and @LAST_MATCH_END English aliases for "@-" and "@+".
- File::Find now has pre- and post-processing callbacks. It also correctly changes directories when chasing symbolic links. Callbacks (naughtily) exiting with ``next;'' instead of ``return;'' now work.
- File::Glob::glob() renamed to File::Glob::bsd_glob() to avoid prototype mismatch with CORE::glob().
- IPC::Open3 now allows the use of numeric file descriptors.
- use lib now works identically to @INC. Removing directories with 'no lib' now works.
- %INC now localised in a Safe compartment so that use/require work.
- The Shell module now has an OO interface.
Utility Changes
- The Emacs perl mode (emacs/cperl-mode.el) has been updated to version 4.31.
- Perlbug is now much more robust. It also sends the bug report to perl.org, not perl.com.
- The perlcc utility has been rewritten and its user interface (that is, command line) is much more like that of the Unix C compiler, cc.
- The xsubpp utility for extension writers now understands POD documentation embedded in the *.xs files.
New Documentation
- perl56delta details the changes between the 5.005 release and the 5.6.0 release.
- perldebtut is a Perl debugging tutorial.
- perlebcdic contains considerations for running Perl on EBCDIC platforms. Note that unfortunately EBCDIC platforms that used to supported back in Perl 5.005 are still unsupported by Perl 5.7.0; the plan, however, is to bring them back to the fold.
- perlnewmod tells about writing and submitting a new module.
- perlposix-bc explains using Perl on the POSIX-BC platform (an EBCDIC mainframe platform).
- perlretut is a regular expression tutorial.
- perlrequick is a regular expressions quick-start guide. Yes, much quicker than perlretut.
- perlutil explains the command line utilities packaged with the Perl distribution.
Performance Enhancements
- map() that changes the size of the list should now work faster.
- sort() has been changed to use mergesort internally as opposed to the earlier quicksort. For very small lists this may result in slightly slower sorting times, but in general the speedup should be at least 20%. Additional bonuses are that the worst case behaviour of sort() is now better (in computer science terms it now runs in time O(N log N), as opposed to quicksort's Theta(N**2) worst-case run time behaviour), and that sort() is now stable (meaning that elements with identical keys will stay ordered as they were before the sort).
Installation and Configuration Improvements
Generic Improvements
- INSTALL now explains how you can configure Perl to use 64-bit integers even on non-64-bit platforms.
- Policy.sh policy change: if you are reusing a Policy.sh file (see INSTALL) and you use Configure -Dprefix=/foo/bar and in the old Policy $prefix eq $siteprefix and $prefix eq $vendorprefix, all of them will now be changed to the new prefix, /foo/bar. (Previously only $prefix changed.) If you do not like this new behaviour, specify prefix, siteprefix, and vendorprefix explicitly.
- A new optional location for Perl libraries, otherlibdirs, is available. It can be used for example for vendor add-ons without disturbing Perl's own library directories.
- In many platforms the vendor-supplied 'cc' is too stripped-down to build Perl (basically, 'cc' doesn't do ANSI C). If this seems to be the case and 'cc' does not seem to be the GNU C compiler 'gcc', an automatic attempt is made to find and use 'gcc' instead.
- gcc needs to closely track the operating system release to avoid build problems. If Configure finds that gcc was built for a different operating system release than is running, it now gives a clearly visible warning that there may be trouble ahead.
- If binary compatibility with the 5.005 release is not wanted, Configure no longer suggests including the 5.005 modules in @INC.
- Configure "-S" can now run non-interactively.
- configure.gnu now works with options with whitespace in them.
- installperl now outputs everything to STDERR.
- $Config{byteorder} is now computed dynamically (this is more robust with ``fat binaries'' where an executable image contains binaries for more than one binary platform.)
Selected Bug Fixes
- Several debugger fixes: exit code now reflects the script exit code, condition "0" now treated correctly, the "d" command now checks line number, the $. no longer gets corrupted, all debugger output now goes correctly to the socket if RemotePort is set.
- *foo{FORMAT} now works.
- Lexical warnings now propagating correctly between scopes.
- Line renumbering with eval and "#line" now works.
- Fixed numerous memory leaks, especially in eval "".
- Modulus of unsigned numbers now works (4063328477 % 65535 used to return 27406, instead of 27047).
- Some ``not a number'' warnings introduced in 5.6.0 eliminated to be more compatible with 5.005. Infinity is now recognised as a number.
- our() variables will not cause ``will not stay shared'' warnings.
- pack ``Z'' now correctly terminates the string with ``\0''.
- Fix password routines which in some shadow password platforms (e.g. HP-UX) caused getpwent() to return every other entry.
- printf() no longer resets the numeric locale to ``C''.
- "q(a\\b)" now parses correctly as 'a\\b'.
- Printing quads (64-bit integers) with printf/sprintf now works without the q L ll prefixes (assuming you are on a quad-capable platform).
- Regular expressions on references and overloaded scalars now work.
- scalar() now forces scalar context even when used in void context.
- sort() arguments are now compiled in the right wantarray context (they were accidentally using the context of the sort() itself).
- Changed the POSIX character class "[[:space:]]" to include the (very rare) vertical tab character. Added a new POSIX-ish character class "[[:blank:]]" which stands for horizontal whitespace (currently, the space and the tab).
- $AUTOLOAD, sort(), lock(), and spawning subprocesses in multiple threads simultaneously are now thread-safe.
- Allow read-only string on left hand side of non-modifying tr///.
Several Unicode fixes (but still not perfect).
- BOMs (byte order marks) in the beginning of Perl files (scripts, modules) should now be transparently skipped. UTF-16 (UCS-2) encoded Perl files should now be read correctly.
- The character tables have been updated to Unicode 3.0.1.
- chr() for values greater than 127 now create utf8 when under use utf8.
- Comparing with utf8 data does not magically upgrade non-utf8 data into utf8.
- "IsAlnum", "IsAlpha", and "IsWord" now match titlecase.
- Concatenation with the "." operator or via variable interpolation, "eq", "substr", "reverse", "quotemeta", the "x" operator, substitution with "s///", single-quoted UTF-8, should now work---in theory.
- The "tr///" operator now works slightly better but is still rather broken. Note that the "tr///CU" functionality has been removed (but see pack('U0', ...)).
- vec() now refuses to deal with characters >255.
- Zero entries were missing from the Unicode classes like "IsDigit".
- UNIVERSAL::isa no longer caches methods incorrectly. (This broke the Tk extension with 5.6.0.)
Platform Specific Changes and Fixes
- •
Perl now works on post-4.0 BSD/OSes.

- •
FreeBSD 3.*
Perl now works on post-3.0 FreeBSDs.
- •
README.hpux updated; "Configure -Duse64bitall" now almost works.

Numerous compilation flag and hint enhancements; accidental mixing of 32-bit and 64-bit libraries (a doomed attempt) made much harder.
- •
Long doubles should now work (see INSTALL).
- •
Mac OS Classic
Compilation of the standard Perl distribution in Mac OS Classic should now work if you have the Metrowerks development environment and the missing Mac-specific toolkit bits. Contact the macperl mailing list for details.

- •
Fixed various alignment problems that lead into core dumps either during build or later; no longer dies on math errors at runtime; now using full quad integers (64 bits), previously was using only 46 bit integers for speed.
- •
chdir() now works better despite a CRT bug; now works with MULTIPLICITY (see INSTALL); now works with Perl's malloc.
- •
- accept() no longer leaks memory.
- Better chdir() return value for a non-existent directory.
- New %ENV entries now propagate to subprocesses.
- $ENV{LIB} now used to search for libs under Visual C.
- A failed (pseudo)fork now returns undef and sets errno to EAGAIN.
- Allow REG_EXPAND_SZ keys in the registry.
- Can now send() from all threads, not just the first one.
- Fake signal handling reenabled, bugs and all.
- Less stack reserved per thread so that more threads can run concurrently. (Still 16M per thread.)
- "File::Spec->tmpdir()" now prefers C:/temp over /tmp (works better when perl is running as service).
- Better UNC path handling under ithreads.
- wait() and waitpid() now work much better.
- winsock handle leak fixed.
New or Changed Diagnostics
All regular expression compilation error messages are now hopefully easier to understand both because the error message now comes before the failed regex and because the point of failure is now clearly marked.The various ``opened only for'', ``on closed'', ``never opened'' warnings drop the "main::" prefix for filehandles in the "main" package, for example "STDIN" instead of <main::STDIN>.
The ``Unrecognized escape'' warning has been extended to include "\8", "\9", and "\_". There is no need to escape any of the "\w" characters.
Changed Internals
- perlapi.pod (a companion to perlguts) now attempts to document the internal API.
- You can now build a really minimal perl called microperl. Building microperl does not require even running Configure; "make -f Makefile.micro" should be enough. Beware: microperl makes many assumptions, some of which may be too bold; the resulting executable may crash or otherwise misbehave in wondrous ways. For careful hackers only.
- Added rsignal(), whichsig(), do_join() to the publicised API.
- Made possible to propagate customised exceptions via croak()ing.
- Added is_utf8_char(), is_utf8_string(), bytes_to_utf8(), and utf8_to_bytes().
- Now xsubs can have attributes just like subs.
Known Problems
Unicode Support Still Far From Perfect
We're working on it. Stay tuned.EBCDIC Still A Lost Platform
The plan is to bring them back.Building Extensions Can Fail Because Of Largefiles
Certain extensions like mod_perl and BSD::Resource are known to have issues with `largefiles', a change brought by Perl 5.6.0 in which file offsets default to 64 bits wide, where supported. Modules may fail to compile at all or compile and work incorrectly. Currently there is no good solution for the problem, but Configure now provides appropriate non-largefile ccflags, ldflags, libswanted, and libs in the %Config hash (e.g., $Config{ccflags_nolargefiles}) so the extensions that are having problems can try configuring themselves without the largefileness. This is admittedly not a clean solution, and the solution may not even work at all. One potential failure is whether one can (or, if one can, whether it's a good idea) link together at all binaries with different ideas about file offsets, all this is platform-dependent.ftmp-security tests warn 'system possibly insecure'
Don't panic. Read INSTALL 'make test' section instead.Test lib/posix Subtest 9 Fails In LP64-Configured HP-UX
If perl is configured with -Duse64bitall, the successful result of the subtest 10 of lib/posix may arrive before the successful result of the subtest 9, which confuses the test harness so much that it thinks the subtest 9 failed.Long Doubles Still Don't Work In Solaris
The experimental long double support is still very much so in Solaris. (Other platforms like Linux and Tru64 are beginning to solidify in this area.)Linux With Sfio Fails op/misc Test 48
No known fix.Storable tests fail in some platforms
If any Storable tests fail the use of Storable is not advisable.-
Many Storable tests fail on AIX configured with 64 bit integers.
So far unidentified problems break Storable in AIX if Perl is configured to use 64 bit integers. AIX in 32-bit mode works and other 64-bit platforms work with Storable.
- DOS DJGPP may hang when testing Storable.
st-06compat fails in UNICOS and UNICOS/mk.
This means that you cannot read old (pre-Storable-0.7) Storable images made in other platforms.
- st-store.t and st-retrieve may fail with Compaq C 6.2 on OpenVMS Alpha 7.2.
Threads Are Still Experimental
Multithreading is still an experimental feature. Some platforms emit the following message for lib/thr5005
# # This is a KNOWN FAILURE, and one of the reasons why threading # is still an experimental feature. It is here to stop people # from deploying threads in production. ;-) #
and another known thread-related warning is
pragma/overload......Unbalanced saves: 3 more saves than restores panic: magic_mutexfree during global destruction. ok lib/selfloader.......Unbalanced saves: 3 more saves than restores panic: magic_mutexfree during global destruction. ok lib/st-dclone........Unbalanced saves: 3 more saves than restores panic: magic_mutexfree during global destruction. ok
The Compiler Suite Is Still Experimental
The compiler suite is slowly getting better but is nowhere near working order yet. The backend part that has seen perhaps the most progress is the bytecode compiler.Reporting Bugs
If you find what you think is a bug, you might check the articles recently posted to the comp.lang.perl.misc newsgroup and the perl bug database at http://bugs.perl.org/ There may also be information at http://www.perl.com/perl/ , the Perl Home Page.If you believe you have an unreported bug, please run the perlbug program included with your release.

Over three years ago Elizabeth had a conversation one afternoon on the phone that I will never forget. We were talking about how much we were loving working on the blog, how much we loved sewing, and how many things we wanted to make and share….but we felt like we were supposed to be doing something else…and that something else involved using our blog to do good.
More conversations were to follow and Skirting the Issue was born. It took us time to plan what we wanted to do and who we wanted it to benefit….but the night we landed on skirts for foster care girls we knew it was the perfect fit for us and we have never looked back.
Over the past 2 years more than a thousand items have been made and donated to local foster care closets during our Skirting the Issue Event. That is something Elizabeth and I could NEVER do alone.
We need you and we appreciate you sewing along with us. I've been with foster system girls as they have gone through donation bins looking for clothes. It's not like going to the mall…..
And I love the idea of girls now, instead of finding hand me downs or factory seconds, finding something new and soft and feminine and made just for them.
I have a special place in my heart for foster care kids (That I wrote about here: Why I hang Fruit Snacks on my Bedroom Wall.) and so does Elizabeth who has her own story. But we can't care for all of them….as much as we would like to…but we can do something. We can make a small difference to one girl at a time, with all of your help.
Between what we have in the linky party, what has been actually delivered to us, and the photos we have gotten from emails we are well over 300 skirts so far this year.
And even though our skirt tutorials will end this month you still have until August 15 to make and donate skirts for Skirting the Issue to still be eligible for one of our giveaway prizes (that we will talk more about tomorrow). It would be terrific to have over 500 hundred skirts again this year.
Thank you again to everyone who has and is sewing along with us. Your participation means a lot to us.

A few ways to up your password game and why you should change your password often.
Upping your password strategy isn't brain surgery, but it should definitely take more thought. Since a weak password can easily make you a target and result in the loss of your valuable information (or even your identity), we're going to help you avoid this conundrum. With this being said, here's a look at upping your password game and keeping your information safe.
Passwords Then & Now
When someone used to mention the term "password", it used to be associated with private clubs for children or at a speakeasy during Prohibition. Today, passwords take on a whole different meaning due to the vast amount of information they can provide for the individual who knows the cryptic code. So with passwords having a significant stance in regards to our information, it's very important for them to be approached as a key to personal property.
Upping Your Password Game
Since the average person has a least nineteen pin numbers and passwords to keep track of, staying up to date on your security can be a responsibility itself. However, there's a few things you can do to keep track of your passwords and keep hackers away from your personal information. Such things you can do are:
In consideration of the information above, it's very important that you take time and consideration when it comes to creating your passwords and keeping cyber criminals at bay. Thankfully, Haxxess Enterprise Corporation is the trusted choice when it comes to staying ahead of the latest information technology tips, tricks, and news.

Just over a year since we first tested the Mesa TransAtlantic TA-15, its bigger brother has landed. For anyone who missed that review, here's a brief recap. It's called TransAtlantic because it spans classic British and US tones, specifically Vox-inspired when it comes to cleans and crunches in channel one.
Now see the Mesa/Boogie TransAtlantic TA-30 combo in action...
Then in channel two it's a brief sojourn into mid-gained Marshall territory (Hi One) flanked by Mesa's more common post-Fender clean (Tweed) and high-gain tones (Hi Two), direct from the US of A: five modes in total.
The main rotary controls are straightforward; the only one requiring further explanation is the cut/master in channel one. When pulled out it's a master volume for the channel, and when pushed in becomes tone cut (essentially a master presence) control very similar to what you'd find on a Vox AC30.
The volume pot then becomes solely responsible for pre- and power amp volume. Both the reverb and effects loop have channel-specific hard bypass switches if you want them completely absent from either or both channels.
When it's not hard-bypassed on the front panel, you can switch the loop in and out with the supplied footswitch, and it is also possible to turn the reverb on and off remotely if you purchase an additional switch.
What that means is that you can access both the effects loop and reverb in any combination across the two channels.
Like the TA-15, you can't fail to be impressed with the general styling of the TransAtlantic. Combo or head, the satin nickel metalwork, blue-backlit grilles and flawless finishing leaves you in no doubt these are meticulously made amplifiers.
Inside it's the same story; custom through-plated PCBs at the centre of a clever circuit that marries classic Vox and Fender influences. While that may sound simple in principle, to do it with real valve circuits that include both reverb and an effects loop is serious headache,given the vast differences in how an AC30 is configured compared with a Fender Bassman, for example.
Point-to-point wiring enthusiasts may scoff at the production line PCB approach, but Boogie's Randall Smith and his team remain adamant that not only is this the best way to make amplifiers that are consistent and reliable, but it's the only way.
Full marks are awarded for the padded gigbag for the head, and the padded cover for the combo. Fewer manufacturers are doing these nowadays, and at these prices, we expect it!
Powered up, there's a vast degree of difference in each of the five modes, so don't be afraid to tweak. Channel one has a clear Voxy character as you'd expect, thanks as much to the preamp circuit as the cathode-biased EL84 power section with no negative feedback (an essential pairing for classic Vox tone).
Top Boost mode is more gainy than Normal, and really starts piling on level as you wind the volume up. Harmonically rich, chiming notes and chords abound, right into rock distortion with humbuckers.
In the 40-watt mode particularly this is a stronger tone than many a newer AC30, which can sound brittle at lower volumes. It ticks the boxes from '60s pop to driving country, blues and Stratty Hankisms.
In full-power Dyna-Watt mode, the sheer attack of clean notes from either combo or head can be eye-popping, especially through Mesa's custom tweaked and well-proven Celestion 90-watt speaker. Loud drummers, no problem. Busy mix, likewise.
We can't imagine too many players wanting for more volume, though the headroom characteristics are obviously quite different from a four-6L6 100-watt amp. The 30-watt class A mode will still out-shout most drummers, but with increased elasticity from the power section when you push it hard.
If that's too much, drop to 15 watts class A (two of the four EL84s) for much more clip and compression at the power stage - something notoriously difficult/impossible on a non- master volume AC30 these days without upsetting the soundman/landlord.
Channel two's power stage is configured fixed bias with negative feedback (like most Fenders and Marshalls). Tweed mode kicks off with that fatter- than-you-remember-it Fender-inspired tone, but you really do need to wind it up to get things going.
With strong mids and urgent delivery, it's more rounded than channel one and very familiar if you've played a Tweed Deluxe or low-power Twin. The bright reverb just makes it all the sweeter.
Hi One adds a huge level jump with extra gain too. There's a tightened bottom end, which will appeal to humbucker players looking for some classic rock fun, or indeed darker/ bassier sounding guitars that can get muddy on the bottom: ES-335 players looking for excellent articulation take note. Angus Young is here should you need him, too.
Moving on to Hi Two brings a punch of mid-range focus and a swathe of bottom end back for something closer to what you'd think of as 'classic' Boogie leads. Tons of harmonics, plenty of gain and the addition of the boost function over the TA-15 means it'll go more gainy in either of the Hi modes, obviously.
The lack of a dedicated middle control means that '80s-inspired metal tones are better served from Mesa's other amps, but heavy rockers will still find a lot to like. You can single-note solo all day here, with your choice of dynamics thanks to the three power settings.
The supplied 19-inch, open-backed 1 x 12 does a good all-round job with the head, but lacks the outright depth of the bigger combo box. The larger available 1 x 12 or 2 x 12 would be our choice for the head - a quick demo at Mesa HQ in April yielded a huge tonal spread from the 2 x 12.
Do try different cab formats, however, as it makes a significant difference to the resultant tone and all our tastes differ in that respect. And as tempting as it may seem, try not to skimp by pairing it with a cheap extension cab.
A quick demo of one of Mesa's cabs alongside a lesser box will explain why immediately in terms of volume, clarity and tonal depth.
More power, added reverb (hooray!), an effects loop, and an extra boost mode in the second channel. Those are the on-paper differences between the TA-30 and its little brother. On the end of your guitar that adds up to a seriously versatile gigging amp.
The harmonically rich character of the classic Vox circuit receives an appropriate Mesa-hallmarked update in channel one, while channel two delivers a similarly tweaked adaptation of the ubiquitous Fender Tweed circuit that has informed so many amp milestones, from the Marshall Bluesbreaker to Mesa's own Dual Rectifier.
With flexible power options that are as much about feel as out-and-out volume, the TA-30 in either head or combo format is an extremely compelling professional proposition.
