Windows Update has long been a required port of call for anyone who wants to ensure that their Windows PC is fully updated against possible security threats. However, according to a report from security researchers Elia Florio and Frank Boldewin at Symantec, there is a possibility that hackers could actually use Windows Update to allow malware to bypass the user's firewall.
The researchers looked at the "BITS" (Background Intelligent Transfer Service) download system used by Windows Update. BITS did not ship with Windows XP but was included in a later update, and it is currently required to use the Windows Update web site. It is an asynchronous download service that runs in the background and retrieves updates without using up too much network bandwidth. Because the service is part of the operating system, the built-in Windows firewall allows BITS to send and receive data over the Internet without triggering any warnings. Most malware already attempts to bypass software firewalls by either spamming "accept" messages to the firewall window or simply disabling the firewall service entirely, but malware using this method will not have to go through these tricks to avoid generating warnings.
The report includes sample code for accessing the BITS service in this manner, but this is more than a proof-of-concept: malware using this method has been seen in the wild, such as the trojan known as Win32/Jowspry.
Contrary to reports elsewhere, this is not a reason to avoid using Windows Update, for Windows Update itself cannot infect your system. To get infected, the user still has to first download a malicious file and execute it. At that point, it doesn't matter whether the user has Windows Update's BITS download installed or not: the system is already compromised.
Some of our readers have complained about Symantec's report, saying that it misrepresents the nature of the flaw. Symantec has been extremely vocal about Windows security issues as of late, not only to boost sales of its own products but to complain about Microsoft offering more security tools with Windows Vista.
A spokesperson for Microsoft told Ars Technica that the software giant "is aware of public reports that Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) is being used by TrojanDownloader:Win32/Jowspry to bypass policy-based firewalls in order to install additional malware." The spokesperson pointed out that the attack does not come from a flaw in Windows Update but rather "relies on TrojanDownloader:Win32/Jowspry already being present on the system; it is not an attack vector for initial infection." Microsoft did not indicate if the company is planning to revamp the security of the BITS service.

British spy agency collected images of Yahoo webcam chats, say reports
London: Britain's spy agency GCHQ intercepted millions of people's webcam chats and stored still images of them, including sexually explicit ones, an English newspaper has reported.
GCHQ files dating between 2008 and 2010 provided to The Guardian by the former US National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden revealed that the surveillance program, codenamed Optic Nerve, saved one image every five minutes from randomly selected Yahoo webcam chats and stored them on agency databases.
Optic Nerve, which began as a prototype in 2008 and was still active in 2012, was intended to test automated facial recognition, monitor GCHQ's targets and uncover new ones, the newspaper reported on Thursday.
Under British law, there are no restrictions preventing images of US citizens being accessed by British intelligence, it added.
GCHQ collected images from the webcam chats of over 1.8 million users globally in a six-month period in 2008 alone.
"It is a long-standing policy that we do not comment on intelligence matters," a GCHQ spokesperson said.
In another sign of the widespread information-sharing between US and UK spy agencies which has riled public and politicians on both sides of the Atlantic, the webcam information was fed into the NSA's search tool and all of the policy documents were available to NSA analysts, the paper said.
However it was not clear whether the NSA had access to the actual database of Yahoo webcam images, it added.
Mr Snowden, now in Russia after fleeing the United States, made world headlines last year when he provided details of NSA surveillance programs to The Guardian and The Washington Post.
For decades, the NSA and GCHQ have worked as close partners, sharing intelligence under an arrangement known as the UKUSA agreement. They also collaborate with eavesdropping agencies in Canada, Australia and New Zealand under an arrangement known as the "Five Eyes" alliance.
Under Optic Nerve, GCHQ tried to limit its staff's ability to see the webcam images, but they could still see the images of people with similar usernames to intelligence targets, The Guardian said.
GCHQ also implemented restrictions on the collection of sexually explicit images, but its software was not always able to distinguish between these and other images.
"Discussing efforts to make the interface "safer to use", GCHQ noted that current "naïve" pornography detectors assessed the amount of flesh in any given shot, and so attracted lots of false positives by incorrectly tagging shots of people's faces as pornography," the newspaper said.
The spy agency eventually excluded images in which the software had not detected any faces from search results to prevent staff from accessing explicit images, it added.

Welcome to another From the Forums! This week has been a busy one with the last handful of days featuring the launch of BlackBerry 10, as well as reports that Windows Phone 7.8 is officially rolling out to consumers. It's been an eventful day today with a few articles comparing the Z10 from BlackBerry against Windows Phone and the Lumia 920 in particular, along with our usual news coverage.
But what's being discussed on the Windows Phone community forum?
Windows Phone 7.8 is a hot topic, and has been since it was revealed by Microsoft to be heading to those who still own Windows Phone 7 handsets. With the rollout kicking off, forum member konaitor has created a thread to see who has received the notification and upgraded their hardware. Sporting new tiles and a number of other features, the update is set to refresh the life of older Windows Phones.
So have you received the update? Enjoying the new features in 7.8? Be sure to head on over to the "Check-in for 7.8 Update Through Zune, Have you gotten yours yet?" thread and notify the fellow WPCentralites of your experience.
BlackBerry launches the Z10, thoughts?
As mentioned above, BlackBerry has launched the Z10 smartphone to rejuvenate the brand and prevent the company from continuing in its down spiral. But what does everyone think about the two devices that have been announced? The Z10 and Q10 are on offer and have been discussed in the community forum to some extent.
This is what community member joeynox had to say about BlackBerry 10:
"Today is dday. BB10 is going to be shown off and the tech world is going to jump on it. There's so much buzz around this compared to the launch of wp8. Plus bb10 will have all the apps that are missing from wp8. Today can be a very bad day for wp8 and MS if Rims new os and phone is the next god phone."
It's a fair point. There's always the possibility that BlackBerry could regain its share of the market, but then there's the fact that it has been slipping relatively quickly for a while now. Is there enough in BlackBerry 10 to sway consumers and save the platform? What are your thoughts on BlackBerry's chances? Add your thoughts in the "Today is DDay or BB10 day" thread.
Microsoft can learn much from BlackBerry already?
Microsoft has caused concern for many of its fans and followers - including us here at Windows Phone Central HQ. We'd all like to see "more" from the company when it comes to Windows Phone. The BlackBerry launch could teach the company a thing or two about just how lightly it's backing Windows Phone, or is Microsoft pouring in the required amount of funding and team effort already?
Forum member bilzkh doesn't think so:
"Now look at WP8. At its heart it is a superb OS with the social network integration, lenses integration, augmented reality apps, NFC and Wallet, etc. Then why, why in the name of all that is rational and sensible is MS not pushing each of these elements to the end-user in meaningful ways? Or rather, simply put, why isn't MS putting in the money and commitment behind such an effort?
Why is it that we have to put up with a certain business division 'evaluating' Xbox's value on Windows Phone? Someone at the top needs to put Windows Phone front and center as a key pillar of Microsoft's future in an increasingly 'mobile computing' world, but clearly that isn't happening."
Does this ring any bells with anything you've considered, or do you believe Microsoft is getting most things right so far? Sound your opinion in the "What Microsoft should learn from BlackBerry" thread.

Custom made essay writing services are rampant online these days and nights. Every time I change around it seems like there is a new website selling essays to unsuspecting college or university students surrounding the world. These companies are unethical and doing their customers a serious disservice.
Maintain reading to determine why you ought to never pay money for an essay online.
Where do essay writing services get their essays Although many of these companies would really like you to believe they are creating essays with a qualified team of writers almost all of Custom Essay Writing these socalled essay writing services actually outsource their writing to India and other countries. Think of it someone in New Delhi is getting paid a few bucks an hour to write your college or university newspaper.
Why is it too bad to buy an essay that was produced in another country Besides the clear waste of an possibility to grow intellectually and the apparent waste products of your school expenses an essay written by foreign people is simply not going to indicate the expectations of a college or university writing class in the United States.
Many custom essay writing services will offer you with a finished document that is recycled from previously consisting help other customers. Several of these essays even get reproduced online and become easy for your instructor to catch and dismiss as easy stealing subjects.
As a school writing trainer myself I have found it very easy to identify essays that students either buy online or pay someone else to write. It is not necessarily difficult and often very clear when it happens. I want to urge you to think twice even 3 x about making this problem the next occasion you think about skipping an assignment and finding an essay for sale on the web. Not only are you gonna be tossing away your school education you're also very likely to get discovered

China will maintain its fine-tuning of economic policies in 2013 to ensure stable economic growth, state television quoted Chinese Communist Party chief Xi Jinping as saying on Tuesday.
Addressing a politburo meeting, Xi said the government aimed to stabilise exports as the world's second-largest economy faced both favourable factors and challenges next year.
"We will keep continuity and stability of macro-economy policies, prioritising on making policies more targeted and effective while fine-tuning policies when appropriate," state television cited Xi as telling the meeting.
"China will make more efforts on expanding domestic demand and fostering new consumption growth areas."
The government would keep prices basically stable while strengthening property controls, Xi was quoted as saying.
The government would also deepen economic reforms, including allowing market forces to play a bigger role in setting prices of resource products and expanding value-added tax reforms.
Authorities will also push forward reform of state firms.
China's annual economic growth dipped to 7.4 percent in the third quarter, slowing for seven quarters in a row and leaving the economy on course for its weakest showing since 1999.
The economy has been recovering thanks to a raft of pro-growth policies in recent months, but it faces uncertainties next year from the looming "fiscal cliff" in the United States and Europe's debt crisis.
Under the banner of policy "fine-tuning", China's central bank cut interest rates twice in June and July and lowered banks' reserve requirement ratio (RRR) three times since late 2011, freeing an estimated 1.2 trillion yuan ($193 billion) for boosting loans.
But it has refrained from cutting interest rates or RRR since July, opting to inject short-term cash via its open market operations into money markets - a move that analysts say could underscore its concerns over inflation and property risks.

More: Population, Nature, and What Women Want
|Please contact us for purchasing options.
Hardcover version of More available at Island Press.
For the Worldwatch Institute, human population has always been a sustainability issue. Our earliest writings confirmed a stable balance between population and the environment as an essential ingredient of the equitable and enduring society our mission advances. And over the years we have highlighted the polices needed in all nations to encourage this balance through healthy reproduction, voluntary family planning, gender equality, and the free decisions of women and couples about childbearing.
Since our founding, however, the issues surrounding population have become ever more sensitive and delicate, discouraging many environmentalists and policymakers from taking on the topic. Now, Worldwatch President Robert Engelman, a 16-year veteran of the population and reproductive health field, has broken new ground in his own fresh take on this perennially difficult issue. In More: Population, Nature, and What Women Want, published by Island Press in May 2008, Engelman leads readers on a journey from humanity's first steps on two feet to the 21st century and beyond to explore whether women want more children or more for their children, and how their childbearing intentions have fared in a male-dominated world. The answers he finds not only surprise but offer new hope for real and lasting global sustainability.
Rich in historical detail, contemporary stories, and provocative ideas, More is the keystone of a new initiative at Worldwatch to return population and women's reproductive decision-making to their critical role in the environment, the economy, and human rights.

Please help to improve this article by expanding it.
Windows Prefetch files, introduced in Windows XP, are designed to speed up the application startup process. Prefetch files contain the name of the executable, a Unicode list of DLLs used by that executable, a count of how many times the executable has been run, and a timestamp indicating the last time the program was run. Although Prefetch is present in Windows 2003, by default it is only enabled for boot prefetching. The feature is also found in Windows Vista, where it has been augmented with SuperFetch, ReadyBoot, and ReadyBoost.
Up to 128 Prefetch files are stored in the %SystemRoot%\Prefetch directory [1]. Each file in that directory should contain the name of the application (up to eight (?) characters), a dash, and then an eight character hash of the location from which that application was run, and a .pf extension. The filenames should be all uppercase except for the extension. The format of hashes is not known. A sample filename for md5deep would look like: MD5DEEP.EXE-4F89AB0C.pf. If an application is run from two different locations on the drive (i.e. the user runs C:\md5deep.exe and then C:\Apps\Hashing\md5deep.exe, there will be two different prefetch files in the Prefetch folder.
Both the NTFS timestamps for a Prefetch file and the timestamp embedded in each Prefetch file contain valuable information. The creation date of the file indicates the first time the application was executed. Both the modification date of the file and the embedded timestamp indicate the last time the application was executed.
The timestamp embedded within the Prefetch file is a 64-bit (QWORD) FILETIME object located at offset 0x78 from the beginning of the file on Windows XP.
The run count, or number of times the application has been run, is a 4-byte (DWORD) value located at offset 0x90 from the beginning of the file on Windows XP.

How to set storage blob cache-control Properties by PowerShell script
Setting Cache-Control on Azure Blobs can help reduce bandwidth and improve the performance by preventing consumers from having to continuously download resources.
Cache-Control allows you to specify a relative amount of time to cache data after it is received. It is strongly recommended if you need the control over the completed cache.
We used to set the cache-control property of blob files through azure portal or windows azure storage explore. However, if you want to set the cache-control property for each file in your blob, such method will be a waste of time. Besides, you may also need to change this property overtimes. A better way to do this is creating a C# program using Azure Storage Client assembly and setting it.
However, this blog considers using PowerShell script to do the same work because it's more convenient to change the property. This example is to help us set storage blob cache-control properties by PowerShell script. One thing to be noticed is that we still need to use "Microsoft.WindowsAzure.StorageClient.dll" to access the blobs.
You need to set storage blob cache-control property or easily check cache-control property through PowerShell script.
- PowerShell Version > 3.0
- Windows Azure PowerShell > 1.0.0
#set Properties
$blobRef.Properties.CacheControl = $cacheControlValue
The content of the script is reproduced at below.
- Download and install the latest PowerShell. Then, connect it to your subscription.
Import-AzurePublishSettingsFile -Environment AzureChinaCloud E:\PublishSettings\CIETest03-12-9-2015-credentials.publishsettings
- Set the value of Properties and Metadata
connection info
$StorageName="your storage account name"
$StorageKey="storage Key"
get all the blob under your container
$StorageCtx = New-AzureStorageContext -StorageAccountName $StorageName -StorageAccountKey $StorageKey
$blobs = Get-AzureStorageBlob -Container $ContainerName -Context $StorageCtx
creat CloudBlobClient
Add-Type -Path "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Azure.NET SDK\v2.3\ref\Microsoft.WindowsAzure.StorageClient.dll"
$storageCredentials = New-Object Microsoft.WindowsAzure.StorageCredentialsAccountAndKey -ArgumentList $StorageName,$StorageKey
$blobClient = New-Object Microsoft.WindowsAzure.StorageClient.CloudBlobClient($BlobUri,$storageCredentials)
set Properties and Metadata
$cacheControlValue = "public, max-age=60480"
foreach ($blob in $blobs)
#set Metadata
$blobRef = $blobClient.GetBlobReference($blob.Name)
#set Properties
$blobRef.Properties.CacheControl = $cacheControlValue
} ```
Test result:
- Before running the script: The Cache Control is empty and the METADATA is empty too.
- Run script:
Type Command Get-AzureAccount
The Command Line will provide you with the AzureAccount infomation.
And Then Type Command E:\TSG\readiness\Cognitive Services Readiness\setcachecontrol.ps1
- Result:
The cache Control has been created, And The METADATA
- Before running the script: The Cache Control is empty and the METADATA is empty too.

Priced at $625 per person, per day,* BLISS has reinvented the traditional yacht charter by delivering a flawless combination of luxury, comfort and adventure in some of the world's top yachting destinations.
With BLISS Boutique Yachting you can spend your days exploring deserted lagoons in the Virgin Islands, snorkeling over sunken ruins in Greece or anchoring by a powder white beach in the Seychelles. BLISS private luxury yachts deliver a consistent level of luxury and service that allows you to explore some of the world's greatest destinations in both style and comfort.
To ensure that you and your family experience an unforgettable yachting holiday, all the yachts in the BLISS fleet are less than 24 months old, beautifully equipped and professionally crewed. Within your BLISS yacht you will discover everything from air conditioning to Wi-Fi, cocooned in layers of luxury and comfort.
Many yachting companies will quote an initial charter price for a yacht and then expect you to pay for a combination of crew, food, beverages, linens, fuel, mooring, water toys, Wi-Fi, insurance, airport transfers and local taxes. BLISS Boutique Yachting works differently: we believe in a single price for your yachting holiday that is both transparent and inclusive. Only a single-priced, all-inclusive policy ensures that you know exactly what your yachting holiday will cost before you arrive at your yacht.
From Anyah bath products to curated music, every BLISS yachting experience is a study in singularity. The BLISS Privilege Selection found on your yacht is a collection of hedonistic gourmet products that are hand-selected each week by BLISS personnel in London and Paris and then shipped worldwide to your yacht, ready for your arrival.
BLISS Boutique Yachting has multiple yachts at each of our 33 worldwide destinations, but for ease of use we only list one yacht per location on Sailo. Please contact us to discuss your preferred dates and we can confirm availability.
In this section you will find detailed information and answers to common questions, but please feel free to contact BLISS Boutique Yachting directly if you would like to discuss any special requirements or requests.
Your BLISS Boutique Yachting charter typically starts and ends on a Saturday and your BLISS Boutique Yacht will be ready and available to board from 17:00 on the first day, ready to depart the next morning. However, if your yacht is available earlier in the day, the BLISS team will be happy to welcome you on board beforehand. You charter ends at 09:00 on the last day of your charter which means that your yacht needs to be back at base by late afternoon on the day before your departure (typically Friday).
Ready to welcome you on arrival is our base manager who will make a short introduction, conduct a safety briefing and discuss any last minute requirements. You will then be introduced to your yacht and crew who will help you get settled aboard. Over your first evening's dinner your captain will highlight local sailing areas, choice of evening stops and places of interest so that you can create an itinerary that best suits your style of vacation.
Your uniformed captain and crew are here to ensure that you have a wonderful time on board your BLISS Boutique Yacht. Every BLISS Boutique Yacht accommodates a maximum of six guests in three air-conditioned cabins, each with a double bed made up with fine cotton linens (your crew have their own separate quarters). Every cabin has an en-suite bathroom with toilet and shower along with a selection of ANYAH Eco Spa bath products, robes and slippers.
Unlike yachts that rely on water tanks that can restrict fresh water usage, most BLISS Boutique Yachts have a water maker so you can enjoy as many showers as you wish. Also available on board are hair dryers and clothes steamers.
All BLISS Boutique Yachts have a generator to provide constant 110 or 220-volt AC power in all cabins and the saloon. All of the 110/220-volt AC power outlets can accommodate US, European, British and Australian plugs. In the large main saloon you will find ample seating, a formal dining area and a large LCD television with DVD. A separate music system will interface with your iPod and allow you to enjoy your music via the entertainment system with speakers inside the saloon and on deck. The galley (kitchen) includes a full size fridge, freezer, microwave and a Nespresso coffee maker complete with a selection of capsules.
On board you will also find snorkel gear for adults and children, 2-3 person kayaks and fishing equipment. Your BLISS Boutique Yacht is equipped with a 4G/3G Wi-Fi access point subject to local network availability; coverage is generally good in our sailing areas, but can fade in more secluded locations. Away from the yacht you can generally connect to Wi-Fi at restaurants or cafés. Guests are welcome to bring their own satellite phones.
The price of $625 per day, per person is based on full occupancy of a yacht (6 people) for our BLISS fully-inclusive charter; there is nothing else to pay. The actual rate charged per day for a yacht is $3750 for 1-6 persons. Our minimum charter period is seven nights and we often extend a charter, subject to a yacht's availability.
Our pricing is transparent and inclusive, so unlike most yacht charter companies that charge additional fees for crew, catering, linens, fuel, mooring fees, cruising permits, airport transfers and local taxes, a BLISS Boutique Yachting holiday aims to include just about everything. A fully inclusive price ensures you know exactly what your yachting holiday will cost before you arrive at your destination.
Food and Beverage: breakfast, lunch, afternoon canapés and dinner are included when on board your BLISS yacht. Also included are drinks such as sodas, juices, premium beers and quality local or imported wines.
BLISS Privilege Selection: gourmet teas and preserves from Fortnum & Mason of London, condiments from Fauchon of Paris and hand-made chocolates from Guido Castagna of Italy.
Luxury airport welcome and transfers: included.; if you arrive at a destination before your charter starts we can also arrange to collect you from your local hotel at no charge.
A detailed itinerary will be sent to you when your booking is confirmed. The document will list dates, locations, local BLISS contact information along with holiday tips and suggestions for your destination.

Akshaye Khanna duped, crime branch probing: Official
Mumbai: Bollywood actor Akshaye Khanna claims he was duped of Rs.50 lakh after being promised quick and handsome returns from investments in the commodity market. The crime branch of Mumbai police is investigating the complaint filed by him, a police official confirmed Sunday. The complaint has been lodged at the Malabar Hill police station. "Yes, a complaint was registered at our police station Friday evening by Akshaye Khanna's lawyer. The current status is that the crime branch is investigating the case. Once we get any update, we can speak on that," senior inspector Vinay Bagade told IANS. According to reports, Akshaye has named in his complaint Satyabrata Chakravarty and his wife Sona, president and director, respectively, of Intech Images Private Ltd, who allegedly duped him of Rs.50 lakh, after promising him that they would double it in 45 days after investing it in the commodity market. Son of yesteryear star Vinod Khanna, the 38-year-old is known for films such as Taal, Dil Chahta Hai, Humraaz, Hulchul and Gandhi, My Father. He was last seen in the 2012 release Gali Gali Chor Hai.

Killer Friday the 13th Creations
It's Friday the 13th again, folks, so you know the drill: watch out for broken mirrors, black cats, and homicidal maniacs - especially if you're a hot chick skinny-dipping alone in the woods tonight*. Which reminds me (the homicidal maniac part, I mean, not the hot chick part) here are a few Jason Voorhees goodies for you:
First, Reader John M. whipped these up for his co-workers:
I guess you can never really Wreck a horror cupcake, can you? I mean, the face looks totally freaky, but that's the point. I like how John paired it with all those cheerful sprinkles, too. They say, "Well of course I'm here to kill you, but there's no need to be all gloomy about it!"
And here's a pro's take on the masked murderer:
Creeeeepy. Jane D. found it here, and it's by Antoni and Edward Frys of European Cake Gallery - the same guys who did that amazing Wall-E cake I featured a long time ago. I can't say I'm onboard with a cake that looks like it's about to kill me - I prefer my food happy and non-confrontational, you know? - but I must admit: the irony of slicing into it would be pretty rich.
*Tomorrow night should be fine, though.

- ... Environment issues
- Why can't the MinGW compilers find my project's header files?
- Why don't wide characters work with libstdc++?
- The wide-character parts of the GCC Standard C++ Library (libstdc++) have not yet been fully ported to Windows. Alternatives and discussion on this can be found here.
- Why can't I mix objects from different Compiler Brands or mix objects from different compiler versions of the same compiler brands?
- This issue is not specific to MinGW: many compilers are mutually incompatible.
- How do I remove DOS command windows?
- In the link step add a "-mwindows" switch to the command line.
Compiling Packages
- How do I build a source package I just downloaded?
- The PackageGuide contains a link of packages along with the description of the package and a tutorial for compiling it.
- I didn't modify any configure.in or makefile.in, but the build process still tries to regenerate these files. What should I do?
- You can install automake and autoconf (by installing the msysDTK package for example), or tell make not to regenerate these files by using this hack-make-timestamps.
- How do I create an import library for the DLL I just created?
- How do I create a DLL for Visual Basic to use?
- The Visual Basic DLL tutorial will teach you how to create a DLL with MinGW and a use it with Visual Basic.
- Where do I find a memory leak detector?
- Wu Yongwei's memory leak detector can be found here : http://wyw.dcweb.cn/leakage.htm
- More links may be found here : http://betterlogic.com/roger/?p=1140
- How do I interrupt a program being debugged by GDB with Ctrl-C?
- I've built an Open Source package, containing documentation in manpage format; how do I read it?
- Manpages are a documentation format prevalent on UNIX systems, where a special program called "man" is normally used to read them.
- There is currently no "man" program available for MinGW/MSYS, although one is under development; (you may download a Development Snapshot, if you are prepared to compile it yourself; see the release notes for further information). In the meantime, you can use the "groff" program, available in this mingwPORT, to read manpages. This program is actually used by the "man" program itself, running a command similar to:--
groff -Tascii -pet -mandoc -P-c <manpage-file> | less -irs
To make it more convenient to view manpages, Wu Yongwei has provided these scripts, which implement a rudimentary version of a "man" program, for use with MSYS, or in a cmd.exe window.
Note that you will still need to have "groff" installed, when the full "man" package becomes available, if you wish to use "man" for reading documentation in the manpage format.
- A man page program for Windows and DOS systems is available from http://sourceforge.net/projects/ezwinports/files/
- A man page program based on http://elks.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/elks/elkscmd/sys_utils/man.c?view=log has been ported to MinGW. It will run natively outside of msys or will work in msys. It's been developed as part of the applications that can built with the LM BLD project.
- Another possible option to look into is using StarDict to view manpages. I've used the program to do so on Linux. It might be worth investigating whether there is a way to turn this plugin option on in the Windows port. The stardict-man-plugin should be the piece needed to get manpages displaying. The source for the Windows version appears to have been built with Microsoft Visual Studio not MinGW. Attempting to compile and build with MinGW (and using msys), I needed to patch some things just to get it to compile and build successfully and am still trying to resolve some issues with plugin libraries. If anyone's interested in investigating further, I think this has the potential to make a very nice alternative for reading man pages on Windows.
- One more option that may be useful is mdocml. It's used by BSD systems to replace groff.
- How is MinGW licensed?
- When Colin Peters released the MinGW runtime he placed the source into the PublicDomain. No one owns a copyright (C) to the source because of this. You as a software manufacturer are free to use the MinGW runtime in your proprietary and OpenSource software as you see fit. The only thing you can't do is to claim ownership of the source and use Colin Peters' name, the MinGW name or the name of any of it's contributors in endorsement of any product.
- Please view the MinGW Licensing Terms page for full details.
- How is MSYS licensed?
- From MSYS_LICENSE.rtf:
You may redistribute MSYS in part or in whole as long as you follow the guidelines of redistribution of each license contained within. To be certain that you are being legally compliant, always distribute the source. Distribution of source is your responsibility should you decide to redistribute MSYS. If you distribute MSYS via a web site then you must put a copy of the source for that version of MSYS on your web site as well. If you distribute MSYS via removable media then you must distribute that version of MSYS source with that same type of removable media.
Binaries created from the use of MSYS and of MinGW are not bound by any license found within this package unless you use a library that is itself covered by the GPL license. If you wish to create proprietary software then don't use libiberty.a or any other GPL licensed library. A library licensed with LGPL (Lesser GPL) may be used by proprietary software without GPL infection as special permission within the LGPL has given you this right.
So essentially unless you end up explicitly linking against msys-1.0.dll, programs built in MSYS shell using MSYS tools are not infected with GPL. Compiling and linking inside MSYS shell or using MSYS tools alone does not automatically link against the dll.
- Please view MSYS_LICENSE.rtf for full license text.
MinGW related
- What Languages Are Supported?
- As of summer 2005, MinGW supports C, C++, ObjC, Fortran 77, Ada and Java. And last, but not least Pascal is available as a contributed package (GPC).
- How do I use MinGW with Cygwin?
- For those who would like to use the Cygwin environment for development, yet generate non-Cygwin-dependant executables, a much easier option to "-mno-cygwin" does exist. Simply install Cygwin and the MinGW distribution in separate directories (i.e. "C:\CYGWIN" and "C:\MINGW"), and make sure that the "/bin" subdirectory beneath your MinGW installation comes before Cygwin's "/bin" subdirectory in your PATH environment variable (i.e. "PATH=%PATH%;C:\MINGW\BIN;C:\CYGWIN\BIN"). This will allow you access to all the UNIX tools you want, while ensuring that the instance of GCC used is the MinGW version. %%%
- Bear in mind that within the "/etc/profile" file, Cygwin by default places "/usr/local/bin", "/usr/bin", and "/bin" ahead of your system-level PATH. Therefore, it is not enough to have the MinGW's "/bin" ahead of Cygwin in your Windows path... it must also be set to come first within the Cygwin environment (either by modifying "/etc/profile" or setting it manually).
- Is support provided for COM?
- MinGW has some support for COM programs. Programmers have had much better luck writing COM applications in C than C++. Work is in progress to improve support. Check the MinGW mailing list archives for more details on COM and more links to example files.
- What's the difference between gcc and mingw32-gcc?
- The mingw32-gcc, mingw32-g++, etc. binaries exist as an aid to cross development. They are created in a typical build of gcc. They are therefore distributed as the maintainers of GCC meant them to be. The gcc.exe indicates that the binary produces binaries for a target equal to the build, while the mingw32-gcc binary produces binaries to be executed on the mingw32 target.
- What's the difference between make and mingw32-make?
- The "native" (i.e.: MSVCRT dependent) port of make is lacking in some functionality and has modified functionality due to the lack of POSIX on Win32. There also exists a version of make in the MSYS distribution that is dependent on the MSYS runtime. This port operates more as make was intended to operate and gives less headaches during execution. Based on this, the MinGW developers/maintainers/packagers decided it would be best to rename the native version so that both the "native" version and the MSYS version could be present at the same time without file name collision.
- How can an MSVC program call a MinGW DLL, and vice versa?
- There exists two methods, both described in MSVC_and_MinGW_DLLs.
- How can a JNI DLL be created?
- A tutorial to create a Java Native Interface DLL can be found here: JNI-MinGW-DLL
- Why do I need mingwm10.dll when I distribute my program and can I get rid of it?
- The mingwm10.dll handles memory allocation/dellocation used with exception handling in a threaded environment. If you do not need threads in your application (-mthreads is not used as a compiler switch), you will not have mingwm10.dll added. See http://old.nabble.com/mingwm10.dll-ts8920679.html for details.
MSYS related
- Do I need to use rxvt?
- No. You can use another console program instead of rxvt. If you're using a version of MSYS after version 1.0.10, there's a --norxvt switch in msys.bat to use the standard Windows console instead. You can customize the Windows console, changing font type, font size, screen colors, buffer size, cut and paste and other features using the Properties tab. You could also run an Open Source program such as Console 2 available at Sourceforge.
- My programs don't print output; how do I fix this?
- This is a long standing issue. If your program is not printing to the screen within MSYS, you can try running MSYS with the standard Windows console instead of with rxvt. You'll want a copy of MSYS after version 1.0.10. Add --norxvt to a shortcut that runs msys.bat. This will allow you to run MSYS in a standard Windows console. If your problem is with stdio when using rxvt, you should be able to invoke your programs and see output to the screen while in this mode.
- How do I pass switches with forward slashes to programs under MSYS?
- Please view page Posix path conversion. You can try using a slash as an escape operator. Anywhere a slash would normally appear, try substituting two slashs.
- How do I enter the MsysBuildEnvironment?
- Follow the instructions on MsysShell page
- How do I build an MSYS binary?
- You must be under a MSYS shell and tools environment to compile. Please refer to MSYS dependent for more information.
- How do I compile MSYS?
- Pages MSYS, Build MSYS and MsysFromScratch will get you started.
- Why will the MSYS shell not open on Windows XP Professional x64?
- Follow the instructions on MsysShell page
- How do I create Python extensions?
- As of Python 2.5, the official distribution is built with MS-VC 2003. Python requires that all extensions be built with the same compiler. It is however possible to build such extensions using MinGW with the help of MSYS. Create a file called pydistutils.cfg in your home directory with the following contents.
[build] compiler=mingw32
- Next, use pexports to export the python dll symbols. The library can typically be found under C:\WINDOWS\system32. Use the following command.
pexports /c/WINDOWS/system32/python25.dll >py25.def
- Then, use the following command to build an import library.
dlltool -D python25.dll -d python25.def -l libpython25.a
- Move libpython25.a to /mingw/lib. You may need to add -I"/path/to/python/include" to the gcc command line. You can now build and install the extensions by following standard UNIX instructions under MSYS.
- How do I execute configure scripts?
- Applications using a UNIX-style build process will typically require a shell environment and set of POSIX tools, for executing configure scripts and building the application. The Cygwin environment was once the only choice available to fill this role, although now the MSYS environment offers MinGW developers a more lightweight alternative. The use of both these environments with MinGW is described in MsysShell and MinGWShell. [FIXME] - This is confusing and doesn't describe the question. __EarnieBoyd__ __2006-04-19__
- What is a Makefile and how do I create one?
- A Makefile can be thought of as a script that is processed by a "make" program. It allows large projects with many source files to compile in an automated way, as opposed to needing to compile each file by manually calling the compiler. It also allows for depedency checking, recompiling only modified files by checking timestamps.
- How do I get pkg-config installed?
- The difficulty in getting pkg-config installed is due its circular depency on glib. To install pkg-config, you should first install the GTK-runtime, the installer is found at http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=121075. The pkg-config binary can be obtained from http://www.gtk.org/download-windows.html. Place pkg-config.exe in your MinGW bin directory.
- There are other pkg-config projects that don't have the circular dependency issue. They include:
Porting Issues
- Why doesn't %ll work with printf? How do I print a long long value?
- You should use %I64 instead of %ll when using msvcrt.
- Why can't I print a long double using printf using %Lf?
- How do I use Windows sockets, rather than Unix sockets?
- How do I ConvertVisualStudioWorkspace and projects?
- Why can I read/write text files but not binary files?
- Under DOS/Windows, a file can be opened in either text or binary mode. It seems that the default is text mode. To force using binary mode, you have to pass the O_BINARY flag to open(fd, flags)
- See http://cygwin.com/faq.html under "How is the DOS/Unix CR/LF thing handled?" topic for some info.
- How do I convert build commands for the MS resource compiler into windres commands?
- gcc supports C99; why is this support not completely implemented in MinGW?
- What libraries and tools should I install to help when porting and building Open Source applications on MinGW with msys?
- There's information on some of the standard GNU libraries and tools on the Other Libraries and Tools to use with MinGW page. There's also information on other libraries that can help bridge the gap when porting applications from POSIX systems or trying to build Open Source applications.

HOUSTON -- Calpine Corp. said Thursday that it will buy a natural gas-fired power plant in Texas for about $432 million to boost its presence in a state where the supply of surplus power is shrinking.
Calpine is buying the 800-megawatt plant near Laguna Park in central Texas from Bosque Power Co. LLC. Calpine said it will use cash on hand for the deal, which it expects to close in early November.
It said the price will also include unspecified adjustments, but did not provide an estimate of how that would affect the closing price.
CEO Jack Fusco said acquiring the plant is "consistent with our strategy to boost capacity in Texas as electric demand rises and reserve margins tighten."
The 280-acre facility includes a 250-megawatt unit with one natural-gas turbine that went into operation in 2001 and a 550-megawatt unit with two gas turbines that started running in 2000.
Calpine operates 91 plants that produce power for wholesale customers in 20 states and Canada and is building two more plants.
Calpine shares rose 6 cents to $17.81in morning trading Thursday. They have gained about 8 percent this year.

Cruise Line Private Islandsby Luisa Frey Gaynor, CruiseMates Family Editor | October 6, 2008
Norwegian Cruise Line's Great Stirrup Cay is the northernmost island of the chain of Bahamian islands known as the Berry Islands. The island's history includes visits by Spanish explorers in 1492, British sea captions in the 1600s, plenty 'o pirates in the 17th and 18th centuries, and Federal troops during the Civil War since it was a provisioning spot. In 1977 NCL purchased Great Stirrup Cay and became the first cruise line to have a private "out island" strictly for its passengers' use.
There are two main beaches which host plenty of water sports on their shores. Families can enjoy the paddle boats, snorkeling, floats, sailboats and kayaks. Stingray Vu-boards are also available - these resemble a "boogie board" but have a view panel at the head to see underwater.
For landlubbers, there are volleyball courts and ping pong tables.

If you had told me in 2000 that I could find something to admire about President George W. Bush, I would have been astounded. Yet in 2003, when he traveled in secret to Iraq to share Thanksgiving dinner with the soldiers in the war zone, I greatly admired his action. At the time, there wasn't a visitor to Iraq with more of a target on his back. He was not only absent from his own table on the holiday, he put his life in danger to do it.
Now, in 2012, I am ecstatic that President Barack Obama has been re-elected. I hope that those of you who are feeling disappointed will see the next four years as an opportunity to catch President Obama doing something right as well. He will do plenty that will be judged, and we need to support what is right — and work respectfully to change that with which we disagree.
We need to come together.

Benefit of Fitness Over the Last 30 Years
There has been many alterations in fitness in the last 3 decades. It's human instinct to remember occasions past. That's great but don't forget forget that things change too. This is really true in physical fitness. "Should you choose that which you usually have done, you're going to get the outcomes you've always become" holds true, what when the situation changes? Then what accustomed to work is not a practical and effect method of getting the outcomes that people want. In the following paragraphs I'll outline seven products which have altered in the last 30 approximately years affecting the way you view health, fitness, exercise and what's considered "best". Let us take a look at a few of these alterations in Fitness.
1. Level of activity
This transformation in fitness is fairly apparent. We simply don't move about around we accustomed to 3 decades ago.
Presently, the typical sedentary person residing in a metropolitan setting takes 900-3000 steps each day. Uh… this is a puny number! Within the journal of sports medicine existing literature was pulled together to create an over-all guideline of the items a great number of steps each day could be
The writer Dr. Catrine Tudor-Locke converted different exercise into steps-per-day equivalents. An interest rate of less than 5,000 is classed as sedentary, 5,000 to 7,499 is low active, 7,500 to 9,999 is sort of active 10,000 or even more is active and 12,500 or even more is extremely active. What exactly does 900 make us? Near to dead! Nevertheless its easy to assume. Wake up from, take elevator to carpark, drive vehicle, take elevator to office, sit lower, order junk food, turn back tactic to go back home and return to bed. Simply to note, 1km is all about 1300 steps.
Its become enough where we must intentionally inconvenience ourselves to obtain our level of activity up. Here are a few suggestions (that really show us how pathetic our average activity levels have grown to be).
Park in the far finish from the carpark and walk for your building Rather of shedding the children off while watching school, park a few roads before it and walk them all of those other way… 10,000 is really considered a minimal estimate for kids.
Go across the shopping center or supermarket inside a random. With today's super malls, this can be a big factor!
Go ahead and take stairs rather from the lift or escalator (well should you focus on the 50th floor, maybe climb midway to begin)
Provide the dog an additional a few minutes on his walk (we want it more than him)
Stop emailing colleagues within the same office, rather review and speak with them (shockingly effective thinking about just how much email we send every day!… ideal for team development too)
Take a stroll on your lunch time, walk to obtain your lunch in order to find somewhere to consume your lunch
Wake up and make a move, increase and lower the steps for instance during TV ads (no excuses here!)
Walk towards the corner shop rather of driving or popping in on the way home
Walk to buddies houses rather of driving
Take trains and buses and walk in the stop
Dr. David Bassett studied an Amish community to determine what things were really like previously. This option don't have any cars, no electricity and do hard hard physical work to place food up for grabs. Its like time visit yesteryear. They eat 3 large daily meals with a lot of meat, vegetables and natural starches like taters.
The 98 Amish adults Bassett surveyed used pedometers for any week. The boys averaged 18,000 steps each day. The ladies required typically 14,000 steps.
The boys spent about 10 hrs per week doing heavy work like plowing, shoeing horses, tossing hay bales, and digging. The ladies spent about 3.5 hrs per week at heavy chores. Men spent 55 hrs per week in moderate activity women reported 45 hrs per week of moderate chores like gardening and doing laundry. Wow that's lots of hard physical work. Obtain a pedometer (its only like 20 dollars) and find out the way you fare.
2. Fat Percentages and Weight problems
Level of activity leads us directly on up to now about weight problems. The frightening weight problems rate is among the most apparent alterations in fitness.
The weight problems rate one of the participants in study regarding the Amish population was 4 %, as based on bmi, or Body mass index. The present weight problems rate one of the urban populations is 30% or even more. OK the weight problems percentages really are a frightening factor because weight problems has already been within the "High risk of a lot bad methods to die" category. There's still the overweight category (clearly fat although not striking the medically obese range) to think about. This type of person at a bad risk already!
The entire percentages of overweight obese are actually wild… hitting near to 70% in certain metropolitan areas. Match it up towards the average within the 1980s. 10-15% weight problems in many metropolitan areas. It rose towards the mid 20% in 1995 and it is now at a record high.
3. Diet
OK associated with point no.2 is obviously diet. This really is another apparent alternation in fitness. Its quite simple really. We currently eat more refined foods (white-colored bread, sugar, grain, flour, noodles). In your body these give pretty very similar response – Fat cell function. The only real time we ought to eat these products is instantly after hard training. As possible tell from point no.1, very little associated with a training is happening. But plenty of eating is!
We consume less food fruits, vegetables and meats. We eat more snacks like chips and cookies (that are also refined despite what advertisers claim).
These alterations in fitness are created more troubling because even natural foods today aren't nearly as good for all of us because they was once. Current farming methods make mineral and vitamin content in vegetables and fruit drop about 10-40% with respect to the mineral. Corn given meats don't provide us with nearly as good an omega 6 to omega-3 ratio once we accustomed to receive from grass given and the opportunity creatures. (which means not too many healthy essential fatty acids for all of us)
Not to mention, we're also simply eating calories. The Amish individuals the research in point no.1 ate about 3600 calories/day for males and 2100 calories/day for ladies. Many sedentary people consume that much and much more! How? Well a completely "featured" flavored coffee from beans or Starbucks can equal to 500 calories immediately of caffeine folly.
That's 2 hrs of walking to have an average sized lady.
Keep in mind, calorie quality counts too. 2000 calories of vegetables, meat and healthy fats is infinitely much better than 2000 calories from fried potatoes. Its hard to obtain fat around the first, and extremely difficult to not get fat using the second.
I love this vehicle example. Should you have had a 2million dollar dream vehicle, can you put poor quality or high quality gas in it? High quality obviously! Then so why do many people put poor quality filth to their physiques that are a lot more important compared to vehicle we drive?
4. Games children play
The typical child who matures within an urban atmosphere is really a motor-skill weakling. Like a hobby, I coach youth basketball. Within our talent scouting, I've kids perform a quite simple drill of dribbling out and in and around cones. There are plenty of kids who can't get it done and a few who I believe might fall lower if requested to operate round the cones with no ball! This really is as opposed to yesteryear where kids ran around, chased one another, performed physical games and sports of all types, in which the playground was the middle of fun for youthful kids. This insufficient activity not just causes a general change in fitness for that child in theOrher youth, but includes a profound lengthy term effect too.
Evidently this alternation in fitness is because of a mix of possible factors.
Parents who only consider academic success to become worth pursuing, who only provide a child recognition and praise once they prosper in academic subjects.
Instruction system who also values book understanding above other activities and removes sports and physical eduction classes to place more academic training in.
Poorly trained PE training that do not help a young child develop motor skills within the key early years Busy double-earnings families where fathers have a price to experience using their children (or don't care enough to… money is not everything dads)
The maddening video game addiction situation where virtual existence is much more important than real existence. In my opinion because of this , for the empty basketball courts within my neighbourhood. It was once that teams arranged to experience there. Now only people how old irrrve become (late 20s to 30s) play. No youthful kids what are the more.
But really, what exactly? The problem is when kids stink at sport and exercise, the well-known mental factor of "competence" comes is. To put it simply, generally, we all do what we should are great at. If our next-gen is poor at sport and exercise, they're even less inclined to inflict from it! Which coupled with products one to three, alllow for a deadly health crisis for a lot of countries. Weight problems costs the United kingdom 7.4 billion in national healthcare each year! When we don't help our children, measuring only likely to come to be a larger and larger burden for everyone.
5. Support
This can be a more subtle alternation in fitness. Individuals are communal creatures. We stick to things because there's a supportive community behind us. Even drug and alcoholism rehab centers recognise this. People need support. But social links are becoming less strong. With no, Friendster and MySpace links don't compensate for it.
Inside a more connected but less close world (I understand a lot of people who're only comfortable behind a pc screen and never before a genuine person) there's less support than previously (extended families, communal living, strong friendships inside a neighbourhood etc) and it is difficult to stick to a thing that requires dedication and sacrifice as an workout program. I am not really a sociologist but I do think there's grounds that exercise classes fare better when it comes to membership than individualized training. Many of them undoubtedly are not competitive with great individual coaching. However the social factor does are available in when sustaining a life-style change is involved.
6. Spare Time
This subtle alternation in fitness is fairly obvious. We simply tight on time that people "own". Bosses, social, family along with other commitments make spare time a really precious commodity also it adds difficulty that time is our only non renewable resource. Whenever we decide to exercise or spend some time cooking to help keep the kitchen connoisseur, we're rivaling movies, games, TV along with other things for spare time. We all know that exercise will work for us, however it not just needs to be great for us, it needs to be BETTER within our minds compared to latest episode of desperate housewives, or even the latest video game. This is the issue. We have to prioritize lengthy term health over temporary fun.
7. Training techniques
OK here's where we're succeeding. 3 decades ago the aerobic exercise craze required the civilized world by storm. It is not an excellent training method both when it comes to results, and when it comes to results per unit of your time. Include that that we've such minimal time for you to train, we can not manage to get trained in a sub-optimal way. We all know much more now. Fortunately for all of us, you will find good techniques that smart coaches use to enhance training efficiency and obtain RESULTS despite less training time. A few of these include properly designed strength training programs, interval training workouts and good assessment strategies to determine individual needs. For those who have an instructor like this working for you, you are able to reverse the time and steer clear of becoming among the continuously growing statistic of individuals who's health is headed within the wrong direction. Stay healthy and powerful and best of luck!

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Company Failed to Stop Race- and National Origin-Based Harassment, Then Suspended and Fired Three Employees for Complaining, Federal Agency Charges
GREENSBORO, N.C. – The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) today announced it has filed a lawsuit against Ricoh Americas Corporation for subjecting an African employee and two Hispanic employees to harassment based on their national origin at one of its work sites in Greensboro, N.C. The lawsuit further charged that the African employee was harassed based on his race. The company then suspended and fired the three employees after they made several complaints to Ricoh's managers about the harassment, the EEOC said.
According to the EEOC's complaint, James Nyema-Davies (a black Liberian), Anibal Melendez (a Puerto Rican) and Gustavo Tovar (a Colombian) were subjected to offensive national origin- and race-based harassment, including derogatory comments by the site manager in their location. The harassment was ongoing from approximately June 2006 through October 2009, the EEOC said. On a daily or near-daily basis, the site manager made comments to the three employees such as stating that she "hated Puerto Ricans," that "Hispanics are so stupid," "Colombians are good for nothing except drugs," and that "damn, f-----g Africans . . .ain't worth s--t." The three employees complained about the harassment on multiple occasions between 2007 and 2009, both individually and as a group.
However, Ricoh took no action to stop the harassment, the EEOC said. Around October 30, 2009, the employees were suspended after they made additional complaints to Ricoh's management, during which Melendez mentioned that the employees should file a lawsuit against Ricoh to end the harassment. Approximately three days later, on or about November 2, 2009, Ricoh fired all three employees.
Harassment based on national origin and/or race and retaliation for complaining about it violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The EEOC filed suit in U.S. District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina (EEOC v. Ricoh Americas Corporation, Civil Action No. 1:10-cv-00743), after attempting to reach a pre-litigation settlement with Ricoh. In its suit, the EEOC seeks back pay and compensatory and punitive damages for Nyema-Davies, Melendez, and Tovar. The EEOC also seeks injunctive and non-monetary relief.
"Harassment can come in the form of racial or ethnic slurs, expressions of hatred for racial or ethnic backgrounds and other types of derogatory remarks about a person's race or national origin," said EEOC Regional Attorney Lynette A. Barnes of the agency's Charlotte District Office. "A company is liable for failing to take prompt and effective action to stop its managers from harassing its employees. Employers are likewise liable if employees who complain about employment discrimination are punished because of their complaints."
Ricoh sells and services copiers, fax machines, printers, and related supplies such as paper, toner, and software for the machines. Ricoh also provides on-site administrative services to companies such as mail processing, mail distribution and copier services.
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting discrimination. More information about the EEOC is available on its website at www.eeoc.gov.

An 18th-Century Trades Sampler
a photographic essay by 1999 Colonial Williamsburg Teacher Institute participants
Introduction /
Apothecary /
Blacksmith / Founder /
Harnessmaker /
Printer & Bookbinder / Shoemaker / Silversmith / Wigmaker / Summary
This foundry stands on the site of an 18th-century business operated by William and David Geddy. Their father, James Geddy, Sr. was a gunsmith and founder who taught his sons the trade. The foundry made and repaired a wide variety of items including tools, swords, guns, buttons, and spoons, hardware for carriages, candlesticks and other household goods made primarily from pewter, brass, and bronze.
A founder pours melted metal into molds to create the finished goods rather than hammering metals as a blacksmith does. Pewter was a very widely used metal in the 18th century. It was not cheap, but it was less expensive than silver and was used by all segments of society. A spoon is made by pouring liquid pewter into a permanent brass mold. Pewter is made of tin with copper and antimony added to harden the tin. It melts and pours at a low temperature (650 - 700 degrees.)
A clay or clay and graphite crucible is used for casting metal. The fuel in the forge is either coal or charcoal. Bellows, a leather air pump often made by a harness maker, provides the air that enables the fire to reach the temperatures needed to melt the metal.
Brass, bronze and silver all pour around 2,000 degrees and must be poured into sand molds. Sand is packed over patterns made of wood, metal, clay or plaster. A sand mold is only used once. After the metal is cast the piece must be finished. Most of the time spent in producing goods involved finishing: filing, sanding, and polishing with pumice, tripoli and rouge.
Round objects such as this candlestick were skimmed, filed, sanded and polished on a lathe. The lathe is a machine used to spin an object. Pressing repeatedly on a foot pedal provided power for the lathe. Hand tools pressed against the spinning metal produced the finishing of rough goods.
Diversity of work and in the labor force offered definite advantages to the colonial tradesman. William Geddy employed John Dennis as a journeyman founder. Women frequently worked alongside their husbands, especially in the country where labor was especially scarce. Raw, newly refined metal was not readily available, therefore tradesmen relied on buying up broken or worn out metal goods. These metals came from customers or from other tradesmen. One good source of brass for the Geddy foundry was Alexander Craig, a local harnessmaker. Brass was used to make hardware for harness. Worn or broken pieces were melted down to make new items.
The Geddy foundry is a fine example of the possibilities for success in business in the 18th century. William preserved his father's business, expanded and operated it successfully for over thirty years. He achieved a comfortable level of prosperity and followed the Geddy family tradition of training his own son, William, Jr. in the trade.

Man attacks roommate who drew a penis on his face
ARLINGTON, Va. A Virginia man was arrested after allegedly attacking his roommate for drawing a penis on his face with permanent marker while he was asleep.
Police say the attack happened at about 5.30am on March 23, when James Denham Watson, 31, awoke to find a drawing of male genitalia on his left cheek.
Watson then attacked his roommate, causing extensive facial injuries, reports CBS Washington DC.
Another roommate drove the injured man to Virginia Hospital Center.
Watson is facing charges of malicious wounding. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for June 18.
