I need to do a poster, 8m width by 3.7m height, consisting of photographic elements that will be seen from varying distances. I've talked to the printer and they can do it at 150ppi's.
The issue here is how to work it. Using this calculator I've came to:
poster measurements
= 47244px vs 21850px
memory requirements
memory required = (number of pixels in image ) X (number of bytes per pixel )
47244 x 21850 x 3 (24 bits) = 3096844200 bytes = 3GB
And I'm working on a 3GB computer that, understandingly has to page some information to virtual memory, so it would take some time, however it keeps crashing.
How do professionals work this out?

Senator: Race is part of criticism of Obama health law
A Democratic senator this week said something publicly that many backers of President Obama say privately: Criticism of the health care law is in part racial.
"I'll be able to dig up some e-mails that make part of the Affordable Care Act that doesn't look good — especially from people who made up their mind that they don't want it to work because they don't like the president," said Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-West Va.
"Maybe he's of the wrong color, something of that sort," added Rockefeller, chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee. "I've seen a lot of that and I know a lot of that to be true."
Rockefeller's comments Wednesday drew criticism from committee Republican Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, who described efforts to "play the race card" as "very offensive."
Johnson said he doesn't object to the health care law "because of the race of the president. I objected to this because it is an assault on our freedom. Mr. Chairman, I have to admit I have a great deal of respect for you and I'm the only one in the room and I found it very offensive that you would basically imply that I'm a racist because I opposed this law."
National Journal transcribed the exchange between the two senators:
"Johnson added: 'Please don't assume. Don't make implications of what I'm thinking and what I would support. You have no idea.'
"Rockefeller replied: 'I actually do, you know. God help you.'
"Johnson: 'No, senator, God help you for implying I'm a racist.'
"Rockefeller: 'I did not imply you're a racist.'
"Rockefeller then veered into another topic before adjourning the hearing."

- 2mm Turquoise
- Gold Plated Bronze or Sterling Silver
- Sterling Silver posts.
- Sold as a pair
Please keep in mind that all of our stones are natural and therefore vary in color from each other. We pick the prettiest colors available, but please understand that we may not be able to offer the exact stone colors that are photographed.
All jewelry is handmade to order, please allow 1-4 weeks for delivery.
We're here to help you find your ring size. We have options for finding your measurement, ensuring the right fit in a way that's easiest for you.
Ring Sizing
We suggest ordering a plastic sizer to get a good idea of the best size for your finger.
Necklace Sizing
All of our necklaces are available in specific chain lengths, which can be found in the description of the one you have in mind. All necklaces come with either spring ring clasp or lobster clasp. All 20" chains will have a 16" and 18" stationed jump ring to allow the necklace to be worn at either lengths. Necklace chain length cannot be customized. To determine how the necklace will fit, we suggest using a string cut to the same length, and tying it around your neck to see how the length looks on you.
Bracelet Sizing
Our cuffs are designed to fit an average 6" wrist. If your wrists are smaller, the cuff will fit a bit more loosely. You can slightly tighten it by hand in order to adjust it to the fit you prefer -- but remember, metal is not flexible, so you can't do that over and over or it can snap.
All Studio Grun jewelry is 100% gold plated over brass (earrings are with sterling silver ear posts beneath the gold plate) and use gold filled chains. We use a much thicker gold plate than the industry standard, and once the pieces are plated, a clear protective finish is added to increase its longevity.
Here are a few helpful care tips to keep your jewelry looking its best:
- Remove your jewelry when applying sprays, perfumes, oils, lotions, showering, exercising and swimming.
- To store, keep your pieces in a jewelry box or ziploc when not being worn. This prevents light and oxygen from tarnishing and oxidization.
Gold Plating:
Studio Grun is proudly nickel free and our gold plated jewelry should hold it's plating for years if the wearer takes proper care of the piece. That means no lotion, oils and perfume as mentioned above.
- With gold plated rings, be sure to remove them when washing your hands, using any products, and using household chemicals.
- When doing any activities that add additional friction to your hands, such as gardening, using work out equipment, sports, we recommend removing your rings.
*Please note, we do offer re-plating services with a re-plating fee.
Gold Filled:
Studio Grun uses gold filled chain on all necklace styles and earring threaders. Gold filled is an actual layer of gold-pressure bonded to another metal. Gold filled is not to be confused with gold plating and for that reason it is slightly more expensive than plated or vermeil jewelry, but should not be confused with solid gold jewelry.
Ethiopian opals are porous, which cause them to be very sensitive - please do not wear your opal jewelry during physical activities, using any household cleaners, showering and swimming. Opals are very soft and delicate and require a bit more attention and care than the majority of the stones we use (ie, black onyx).
- Please avoid submerging opals from water (ie, showers, pool, beach, sweat from athletic activities)
- Store your opal jewelry in a sealed plastic bag to protect it from humidity.
Bronze may darken with wear, depending on body chemistry and oils. To avoid a dark patina, please avoid getting your jewelry wet. We suggest a cleaner like "Jax" to restore your piece to it's original luster.
Sterling Silver:
Silver tarnishes a bit quicker. If you consistently wear your silver jewelry, it will prevent any patina. We suggest a jewelry polishing cloth to restore your piece back to it's shine.
Be sure to follow these guidelines & it will help preserve the finish on your SG pieces.
Isaias Update: There has been a widespread power outages caused by Isaias on the east coast, it seems to have affected shipments. The storm took out power in many cities where restoration could take days and to expect multi day shipping delays.

What causes low milk production?
Occasionally, a delay in the time when milk "comes in" turns into an ongoing problem with low milk production. Sometimes, a mother has been producing sufficient amounts of milk, and then milk production slowly, or quite suddenly, decreases. Before worrying too much about your milk production, know that there are a few normal things that happen when breastfeeding. First, about a few weeks to a month after birth, a nursing mother's breasts will feel softer and seem smaller than before. This is normal and does not mean the milk supply is too low for baby's needs. Also, every so often a baby will increase how often he or she nurses in order to increase the mother's milk supply. This is called "cluster feeding." It is also normal and does not indicate a problem with a mother's supply. True milk supply problems may usually cause a baby to show signs of hunger, fussiness, or poor weight gain.
Some of the conditions associated with a delay in milk "coming in' may also have an ongoing effect on milk production, including:
Conditions from delivery of a baby, such as Caesarean delivery, premature birth, stress during birth, and certain medicines
Severe postpartum hemorrhage (excessive bleeding)
Retained placental fragments
Thyroid conditions, diabetes, or obesity
Previous breast surgery that cut some of the nerves, milk-making tissue, or milk ducts
Other factors can also lead to insufficient milk production. Maternal smoking and alcohol consumption has been shown to result in less milk. Some medicines and herbal preparations can also decrease milk production. Hormonal forms of birth control, especially any containing estrogen, have been found to have a big impact on milk production. However, some mothers report a drop in milk production even after receiving or taking a progestin-only contraceptive during the first 4 to 8 weeks after delivery (postpartum). Milk production may also decrease if you nurse or pump less often than you did before, get sick, are stressed, or become pregnant again.
If insufficient milk production seems to be a problem, yet the baby seems to be sucking effectively, your healthcare provider or certified lactation consultant (IBCLC) may recommend the following:
Increase the number of breastfeedings or breast pumpings to 10 to 12 times in 24 hours.
Increase the amount of skin-to-skin contact you have with your baby. Take off your shirt and baby's shirt and place your baby on your chest with a sheet or shirt over both of you.
Review your health history with your healthcare provider or lactation consultant. This may help to discover if a health condition, treatment, or medicine is interfering with milk production.
You also may want to:
Pump your breasts for several minutes after breastfeeding.
Consider renting a hospital-grade pump if you think you'll need to pump for a prolonged period of time.
Ask your healthcare provider or a certified lactation consultant (IBCLC) about taking a galactogogue. This is a medicine or an herbal preparation found to have a positive effect on milk production.
Think positive. Although insufficient milk production usually can be reversed, any amount of milk you produce is valuable for your baby.

I find it hard to believe it's been over two months since I posted here. Time seems to be flying in a way that I have trouble processing.
Today, the girls are home from school -- the second day of a stuffy cold -- but they are outside in the mildest weather of the year playing with a neighbor. I should be making them stay in and away from other kids, especially given the very dramatic ways they both arose today. I've been there, as a kid, not feeling my best and wanting to stay home. The air will be good for them, a little bit of sweat too.
And yes, they're going back to school tomorrow.
I have nearly finished The Sign of Jonas, and started the Kathleen Norris book Acedia & Me, but both are currently collecting dust as I once again return to my textbook. The lymphatic system reigns.
I spent the good part of December finishing up a nursing school application and some financial aid stuff. There were three applications in full. One school told me my GREs were too old, and so I'd have to retake them to be considered. I can't type here what I said to that bit of info. Another school has already said no to me, and I'm waiting for my third to tell me what my plans will entail this fall.
I might just have a really clean house, and time to fill with computer work. I've been trying to settle into the possibility that nursing school is not in the cards this fall, because I don't want to get my hopes up.
I've been working rather hard for over 2 years fulfilling these prerequisites, so it stings a bit to encounter a roadblock to my self-imposed schedule.
This was my plan! To be in school full-time this fall! It was going to be perfect, with both the kids in school full-time, and me too!
I'm not sure what this all means.
Though I'm not sure about all that 'everything happens for a reason' stuff, it's a bit heartening to think that my way has been stymied for something better. At least, that's what will take me through the disappointment. I'll find out in March.
There is a single bright side to my failure to gain nursing school entry. I will take the summer off from classes. No Microbiology Monday-Thursday for 12 weeks, because there'd be no need to try to stuff it in. I could take it in the Fall and regroup, and try to figure out what's next. There are a few more school possibilities for future applications, but I'd really have to weigh time requirements/benefits.
I'm just kind of spilling here, and thinking out loud.
It just kind of sucks to put in the time and be told no.

Pure pleasure…
It makes me feel good to see two brothers together…
Pierre Lagasse and Stanislas Lagasse circa 1905
I did a little touching-up on Pierre's face.
Pierre Lagasse and Stanislas Lagasse circa 1905
Click to move closer…
Sandy sent me this picture…
Sandy and I have talked a lot about Pierre Lagacé aka Pierre Lagasse and Stanislas Lagacé aka Dennis Lagasse.
Pierre was born in August 1844 and his brother Stanislas in August 1842.
Pierre is Sandy's great-great-grandfather and Stanislas is my great-grandfather. She thinks this picture was taken between 1904 and 1914. I think it's more 1905-1906, but I won't start an argument with my third cousin once removed.
Sandy sent me this message with this picture.
Hi Pierre
Looking through the tin photos again and I think we have Pierre (1844) and Stanislas (1842) on a bench. Tell me what you think. I think it is them. But I am running it by you also. Dated about 1904-1914
They look younger.
By this photo it shows that my Pierre and Stanislas were close and they look relaxed with each other. And Stanislas is smoking.
Enjoy the photo
Enjoy I did, and I did recognized the two. Stanislas is smoking a cigar…
I've never smoked in my life.

The Attorney-General's department has released a discussion paper seeking public input on whether Australia should have mandatory data breach notification laws.
The discussion paper emerges while debate about the department's proposed data retention regime – under which carriers and ISPs would be required to hold data about their customers' communication for two years – rages on.
It comes in response to recommendations by the Australian Law Reform Commission that the Privacy Act be amended to require companies to notify the public when a breach takes place. Australia's Privacy Commissioner, Tim Pilgrim, yesterday told the Australian Financial Review he was concerned at the rising number of un-notified breaches in Australia.
Not yet posted on the AG's Website, the paper is available from Crikey, here (PDF).
The discussion paper canvasses whether a notification law is required; what the triggers should be for a notification (for example, what likely harm from a data breach is required to demand public notification); who should decide whether notification is needed (for example, whether the notification decision should be delegated to the Privacy Commissioner); the contents and time-frame of notifications; possible penalties; and which organizations should be covered.
It will probably come as no surprise to readers that the paper also asks whether law enforcement should get exemptions.
Submissions are open until 30 November, 2012, and should be sent to firstname.lastname@example.com. ®

These are high times for Alanis Morissette. It's a weak line, but it works. As you know, Alanis is enjoying a 7 ep arc on Weeds (please say you watch Weeds, please say you watch Weeds and not the other bullsh-t) after wrapping a successful 2 year run with Flavours of Entanglement, is supposed to star in a film adapted from Radio Free Albemuth, is happy and healthy, is involved with a non celebrity, and looks better than she ever has. Alanis just celebrated her 35th birthday last month.
This is Alanis at LAX over the weekend. As you can see, she's not freaking out over the paps like Scarlett Johansson. Please. Alanis is too good for that diva princess Ryan Reynolds.
Have you seen her indie film parody with Alicia Silverstone on Funny or Die?
Love it. Love her.
And of course, just for fun, Alanis's My Humps. A classic.

Military Training Manual: The 'Healthy, White, Heterosexual, Christian Male Receives Many Unearned Advantages'
Oct. 31, 2013 8:30pm Liz Klimas
A manual used for diversity training for the military describes white males as having an "unfair advantage" compared to other races, and encourages troops to "support the leadership of people of color."
The 637-page manual — the Equal Opportunity Advisor Student Guide published by the Defense Equal Opportunity Management Institute — was obtained by Fox News and contains information cautioning against the "white male club."
Patrick Air Force Base (Image source: Rusty Clark/Flickr)
DEOMI offers seven military Equal Opportunity courses as well as civilian trainings. Fox News commentator Todd Starnes reported an Equal Opportunity officer, who was not identified, provided him a copy of the manual used at Florida's Patrick Air Force Base after the officer became concerned about its content:"I'm participating in teaching things that are not true," the instructor told me. He asked not to be identified because he feared reprisals."Simply put, a healthy, white, heterosexual, Christian male receives many unearned advantages of social privilege, whereas a black, homosexual, atheist female in poor health receives many unearned disadvantages of social privilege," a statement in the manual read.
"I should not be in a position to do that," he said. "It violates Constitutional principles, but it also violates my conscience. And I'm not going to do it – not going to do it."
A section in the manual called "Power and Privilege" describes whites as an "empowered group."
The military document advised personnel to "assume racism is everywhere, every day" and "notice code words for race." They are instructed to "understand and learn from the history of whiteness and racism."
Revelation 15:1
And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvellous, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is filled up the wrath of God.

Damned social engineering. A quick drive through enlisted housing will show you what their objective is.

The Decemberists have been on hiatus for quite a while — so long that the non-Colin Meloy members of the band have their own group, Black Prairie. We love these musicians together, and that's why we picked their session from 2011's The King Is Dead to feature on Vintage Cafe. At the time of its release, the album was celebrated as a return to straight-ahead folk-rock, and not as thematic a record as The Crane Wife or The Hazards Of Love.

This week, I've asked Bishop John Dooher, our South Regional Bishop, to write on our important bicentennial faith formation initiative: ARISE Together in Christ.
However, before I share Bishop Dooher's reflection with you, I would like to make note of one event.
As many of you may know, the long awaited move of our central administrative offices has finally arrived.
Last week, in preparation for the move and as a way of saying goodbye to Brighton, a place that has been so important to many over the years, we have celebrated a closing Mass at St. John's Seminary. The cross from the Brighton chapel was taken to the Pastoral Center's temporary chapel, which we are using until the permanent chapel is completed.
Today was the first day that most of our employees reported to the new Pastoral Center in Braintree for orientation, training and unpacking. Our plan is to have all our offices up and running by Monday.
Our Vicar General, Father Richard Erikson, celebrated daily Mass and many of the staff were present.
Afterwards, I added a few word of welcome and then spent some time chatting with everyone in our new dining facility, Elena's Cafe.
We are, of course, very grateful to Tom Flatley whose generosity and love for the Church made it possible for us to have this wonderful new venue.
The new Pastoral Center will allow us to bring together all of our offices — the education office, the tribunal, the Propagation of the Faith and all the other administrative offices in a wonderful new facility that has many meeting rooms and classrooms, and plenty of parking.
The move is certainly a monumental task and we are very grateful for the work of Kevin Kiley and so many others who have been involved in the logistics of the move.
Kevin Kiley
Moving the entire operation of this archdiocese is a rather daunting task, but they have taken to it with great energy.
It is my hope that the new Pastoral Center will enhance our ability to serve the parishes and the people of the archdiocese with greater efficiency. It will also allow the different offices of the archdiocese to work in closer collaboration with their focus on the priorities of our mission: to spread the faith, to promote family life, and the gospel of life. In a word, to serve our parishes.
With that, I give you Bishop Dooher:

These are special days for the Church in Boston. This past April 8th marked the two hundredth anniversary of the founding of the diocese of Boston by Pope Pius VII. Cardinal Seán has called us to a year of looking back in thanksgiving and looking forward with renewed faith, hope and love as we move through the "Arise Together in Christ" Program. For the greater part of a year we have been coming together to form a renewed community of laity and priesthood which will reach out to the alienated Catholic, and to evangelize ourselves and our communities.
"Arise in Christ" is three-year parish-centered process of spiritual renewal and evangelization that enables us to deepen our faith, develop a closer relationship with Christ, to grow as a faith community that reaches out in service.
There is a natural connection between celebrating our history and entering into a time of spiritual renewal. One looks to the past, recognizing what courage, faith and determination was required to sink the roots of the Church so deeply in this new world. The other tries to reinvigorate that same faith, courage and determination to continue the mission of the Church in our time with all the complexities and challenges that make up our culture today. Our present and future is rooted in our history and the great legacy of faith which empowers us still. Yet I think many recognize that there is a need or hunger in us as individuals, parishes and as an archdiocese for that something more that only comes with deeper faith, hope, love and prayer. We need to arise, to come alive in Christ; to a new sense of discipleship, of being called to by God, empowered by the Spirit. "Arise in Christ" is a spiritual renewal prepared particularly for our Archdiocese.
Early in the development stages Cardinal Seán appointed Mrs. MaryAnn McLaughlin of the Office for Worship and Spiritual Life as director of the Arise effort and me as the Episcopal Liaison.
MaryAnn leads and ARISE training session
MaryAnn is well known and trusted by laity, religious and priests for her work in parish Missions, Retreats and Spiritual Direction. I was so very pleased that she would accept this responsibility. Also, I have been so impressed with the staff of Renew International who has worked with such dedication in preparing this program. They have listened to our needs, our hopes and dreams for renewal. They have directed listening sessions, Internet surveys, presented informational sessions and with their direction we have launched the program with training for those who will implement "Arise in Christ" in the local parish.
There have been workshops held in the regions of the archdiocese for reaching out to parishioners, for training of Liturgy teams, evangelization strategies, everything needed to assist the parish teams. Between 1,400 and 1,600 lay people have attended these workshops. This alone is a great testimony to the hunger and dedication of our laity.
There is great confidence knowing that the Renew Team will be with us in every step of this journey.
I invite the readers of this blog to reflect on our present day spiritual needs in the context of one small but very important parts of our history. Those most keenly aware of the history of the Church in America tell us that there were two founding's of the Church in New England. The first founding was in the missionary work of French priests ministering to French settlers from Canada and especially to Native Americans. This was a challenging time! Catholics and particularly priests were looked upon with great suspicion. On June 17, 1700 a law was passes by the Massachusetts house that stated that after September 10th of that same year "….no priest could be legally present as a priest in Massachusetts territory". The punishment was perpetual imprisonment and if escaped and recaptured, death. (The History of the Archdiocese of Boston by Lord, Sexton and Harrington, Sheed and Ward, 1944.) But the work of evangelization continued and the presence of Catholics grew.
Some 92 years later a new seed fell on the good ground of New England in the person of Rev. Francis Anthony Matignon who would labor with great zeal until his death in 1818.
Father Matignon
Father Matignon, the first diocesan priest of New England, was 39 years old. He was a man of great holiness and humility. He was a zealous evangelizer, a healer, community builder, one who was able to dispel the prejudice that had marked much of the earlier history of New England.
Father Matignon had been a student at the Sorbonne and received a Doctorate in Sacred Scripture. He taught at the prestigious theological college at Navarre where he was confessor to students of that institution and students from other schools. One of the latter was a young man by the name of John Cheverus, later his coworker and first bishop of the Diocese of Boston. This was a time great upheaval in France. The French Revolutionary Government required a particular oath allegiance from clergy.
Bishop Cheverus
Theological schools were closed and like many others, Father Matignon for reasons of conscience fled his native land. A few years later he would challenge the young Father Cheverus to join him in evangelizing this new world whose Catholic population was slowly but steadily growing. Together these two dedicated priests covered all of New England. By their holy example, they softened the anti-Catholicism of many and strengthened the faith life of the growing immigrant Catholic communities.
Father Matignon died on September 19, 1818 on the 40th anniversary of his ordination and was first buried in the Old Granary Burial Ground in Boston. Soon after his remains were transferred to the newly acquired plot which became St. Augustine Cemetery in South Boston. The white marble slab is now in the wall of the cemetery chapel. There we read a few lines of a lengthy newspaper article written by the Protestant editor:
"Far from the sepulcher of his fathers, rests the ashes of the good and great Doctor Matignon; but his grave is not as among strangers for it was watered by the tears of an affectionate flock, and his memory is cherished by all who value learning, honour genius or love devotion"
As a young priest stationed at St. Augustine parish, I first read these words in 1974 and put them to memory. In some way through our efforts of renewal, which is the "Arise in Christ" Program, we continue to cherish the memory of all those who have gone before us in building up the Body of Christ, which is the Archdiocese. They may be our parents, friends, grandparents, those faithful family members and parishioners, religious and priests who brought us to Christ. We cherish them all as we renew our Church.
All in the Archdiocese are invited to come together as a renewed community of laity and clergy, to welcome back those who may have distanced themselves from the Church and to spread the good new of Jesus Christ by our daily lives. This is an opportunity for us renew our faith lives, to renew and energize our parishes together.
Hundreds of parishioners across the archdiocese have been meeting to discuss the program, to make suggestions for its content. At this time more that half of the parishes in the archdiocese have been actively working together in the training sessions for reaching out, liturgy training and leadership training all across the archdiocese.
What do I hope for in this process? For myself, for our parishes, for our people; I hope for a greater sense of being called to remember and continue the mission of Jesus Christ as he proclaimed it in Luke's Gospel. Standing in the synagogue of his home town of Nazareth and reading from the from the scroll of Isaiah; Jesus proclaimed his mission: to bring glad tidings to the poor, liberty to captives, recovery to the blind, freedom for the oppressed, to proclaim a time acceptable to the Lord. The mission of Jesus is the mission of the Church, is the mission of all who are baptized in his name.
It is a call, the call to holiness, to be lived out in all sorts of ways: married and single, parents and children, neighbors, co-workers, parishioners, citizens as individuals and as communities. Sometimes when we come face to face with the stark reality of what the call from God entails we might want to run away. Sometimes my first thoughts are:
What?…… Who? …….Who, me? ……Why?…….Why me?
There is a painting by the late sixteenth century painter, Caravaggio which hangs in the Church of St. Louis de France in Rome.
The painting entitled "The Call of Matthew" depicts Matthew the tax collector, dressed in the style of Caravaggio's time, leaning over the counting house table. Beside him is a figure also leaning over the table with one hand reaching towards the many coins waiting to be counted. Among other characters is a teenager who is dressed in the finest clothing of closing days of the sixteenth century, looking very self satisfied and perhaps a bit bored. At the door standing in the garments of first century Judea is Jesus and behind him Peter. Jesus is pointing at Matthew with is finger like that of the Creator reaching to Adam in the Sistine Chapel ceiling. Looking back at Matthew you are aware that, while he is looking a Jesus standing in the doorway, he has one hand protecting the coins from the figure reaching towards the table, the other points to himself. There is an expression on Matthew's face expressing disbelief that can only be understood as: "Who, me?"
My hope is that as Matthew left all to follow Christ, that we may hear the call in this time of remembering and ARISE in Christ.

A prequel to The Jungle Book, this live-action kids' film follows the young wild boy Mowgli (Jamie Williams) as he's pursued through the late 19th century Indian jungle by a variety of "civilized" men, each seeking him for their own nefarious purposes. When Mowgli is spotted by the passengers on a train, Harrison (Bill Campbell), an employee of P.T. Barnum, immediately orders his underlings to capture the kid, who will make a first-rate sideshow attraction for his boss. Joining the hunt for Mowgli is Buldeo (Gulshan Grover), a local nobleman who is secretly Mowgli's uncle and wants the boy dead so that he can inherit his brother's vast fortune. Also on the hunt is Chuchundra (David Paul Francis) and his trained monkey, and the evil tracker Karait (Dyrk Ashton), who has trained a giant python to locate whatever prey its master chooses. Trying to evade the determined hunting party with the help of his animal pals like the bear Baloo and the panther Bagheera, Mowgli stumbles upon a great lost city in the jungle, where the mad King Murphy (Roddy McDowall) rules over a monkey empire and becomes Mowgli's unlikely ally. ~ Karl Williams, Rovi

Kokanee Crankworx Unleashes Ultimate All-Mountain Challenge With Canadian Open Enduro Saturday, August 15, 2009
Kokanee Crankworx's big, new event for 2009 is the ultimate all-mountain challenge designed to ensure the all-mountain rider reigns supreme. The Canadian Open Enduro will let 'er rip on Saturday, August 15 on a course where gravity will alternatively help and hinder the racer.
"This race is the ultimate test for the all-mountain rider," says Seb Fremont, Summer Events Coordinator. "The course is being designed with significant input from some of the world's best crosscountry, freeride, downhill and enduro riders. We have consulted with riders including Jason Moeschler, Brian Lopes, Mark Weir, Andreas Hestler, Richie Schley and local ripper Matt Ryan to create a course that provides a stage for riders of various backgrounds and skills to compete on. The winner will be the rider with the most complete package of skills and fitness."
The Canadian Open Enduro is a one run, mass start race based on individual categories and Kokanee Crankworx organizers expect to see downhillers mixing it up with crosscountry riders. The course will begin at the top of the Garbanzo Express and will drop 3,800 vertical feet to finish in Whistler Village. What separates the Canadian Open Enduro from a traditional downhill event is the course will be interspersed with short, energy-sapping, pedaling sections set to add another 400-600 vertical feet to the race. The fastest race times are expected to be in the 25 minute range. The course has not been finalized yet so riders are encouraged to stay tuned to the Crankworx website for more details on the course layout.
"While we expect the perfect bike for this race will be a 140-150mm travel all mountain bike, we would not be surprised to see 20lb crosscountry bikes duking it out with 38+lb downhill rigs with 200mm travel," says Fremont. "That's the beauty of this event, based on their individual strengths every rider can, and will, approach it differently."
Although race organizers are still waiting on final confirmations in the pro category, it is expected the $6,000 cash prize purse will attract some the world's best in this emerging event concept. Registration is now open for the event in the amateur and professional categories with cash or prizing up for grabs.

I am sort of ashamed to admit it, but I'm the sort of person who recently pointed my husband to this New York Times story and this Daily Mail (UK) story, and told him that if I should ever be comatose, he should not jump with glee and pull the plug, but instead try giving me Ambien.
Jokes aside, advance directives are things I think about fairly frequently, and yet… I've done squat about it. Like many of us – relatively young and relatively healthy people – I assume that I have a reasonable amount of time before such things become absolutely necessary. Which is why it so reassuring to read this AMED News story about some states giving physicians' online access to an Advance Directives directory. According to the story, Virginia will now allow physicians to access advanced directives of patients online, without having to request the patients' families or care providers.
I dug up Virginia's advanced directives website. Turns out you have to fill out an online form where you specify who acts as your primary agent and is authorized to take decisions on your behalf. You can also specify if and how long you want treatments of any sort to continue if anything untoward should happen.
I'm trying to think of how physician access to advance directives can be a bad thing, but I can't see doctors willfully misusing this info. Maybe I've just been blessed to have been taken care of by some really decent doctors on the rare occasions that I've been sick. Maybe I don't know enough rogue doctors.
But the one deterrent I see here with Virginia's current implementation is that the patient identification is based on parameters such as name, phone number and address. I'm not saying it will happen, but I can totally imagine a situation where a wrong John Smith's directives are accessed and followed, to the detriment of the actual John Smith. No, it's not a stretch. If John Smith and his son, John Smith Jr. share the same physical address and phone number (think landline), you can easily visualize the sorts of problems that are just one medical misstep away from happening.
I guess what I'm saying is that I don't expect doctors to willfully misuse the information, but I do believe that accidental mistakes can happen. For this reason, I believe we have to start thinking in terms of a Patient ID, which will not only be useful for things like advanced directives, but also for ease of identification and data portability. It makes sense why John wants a True Patient Identifier.
All that said, if you're a lucky resident of Virginia, Idaho, Montana or West Virginia, please go fill out your state's advanced directive form. From what I'm seeing of Virginia's forms, it's relatively straightforward.
I wonder if EHR vendors with presences in these states will start pulling in advanced directive information into their EHR software for easy access by physicians. If it's not automatically pulled in for the doctor, it is likely that some advanced directives will be missed. I wonder what other outside services could be pulled into the EHR automatically in the future as well.

Prepare to be amazed.
It is the year 1514 and you are resident in a town in south west France where you might work as a carpenter. Your house and your work room has no electricity, no running water, and no glass in the windows. You cannot read and write beyond the marks you use on wood in your work. There are no books in your house and book shops don't exist. There are no pictures in your house. Your world is largely bereft of lettered information and graphic images.
Only the church and the nobles have access to such things with the church institutions having a near monopoly of non-craft knowledge and a virtual monopoly of books and their production. The church, the aristocracy and the odd rich merchant have pictures on the walls of their rooms. But the only ones you see are inside the church you go to every Sunday, instructive scenes from the bible, a book you have never seen nor touched.
Then one Sunday your priest says that certain of the congregation can go on a pilgrimage to the capital city of the region, Auch, where there is a cathedral which has the the most fabled thing you will ever see in your entire life, something that blazes with intensity, something that will change your life for ever, an exalted thing of the highest holiness. Are you willing to go? Yes, you say.
You travel in a group to Auch, a small city built on a promontory above a river, the centre of which is the Sainte Marie cathedral with its two immense square towers between which you enter. The group enters the church, with the people crossing themselves in front of the altar, and pass to the left side of the nave, and walk down between the nave and the gloriously embellished and richly decorated side chapels to a passage that runs right round the eastern end of the church, between the buttressed external wall and the walled-off high altar and choir stalls.
As you approach this wide passageway with bays between enormous columns soaring immense heights up to the vaulted ceiling, you see that each bay is in fact a window, a window filled with something that makes your soul sing, your eyes dazzled, your mind knocked back with awe, with wonder, with exaltation.
Because right there, in front of you and soaring fifty feet high, in a brilliant intensity of extravagant colour, are scenes from the bible, with people you could meet in everyday life, wearing clothes of colours as bright as fire; reds, greens, blues, gold and silver hues that are ablaze with extraordinary, with searing, intensity. They are realer than real; the sun's light streams through them and into your eyes, painting retinal images you have never-before imagined.
Your eyes rise up towards the pointed arch at the of the top of the windows with scenes from heaven between the stone mullions, and down again, and across to the next window and the next. You have simply seen nothing, ever, in your entire life, to match the enormity of the impact of your first vision of the stained glass windows of Auch cathedral.
These 18 windows were built between 1507 and 1513, and survive to day, wondrous examples of renaissance stained glass that delivered the brilliance, the lustrous coloured intensity of projected 35mm slides, to sixteenth century peasants whose everyday graphic experience would have been outline pictures drawn in mud with a pointed stick. Imagine the reaction of stone age peoples on being shown a technicolor movie, the heart-stopping shock that you would experience on seeing such things.
The stained glass windows of Auch have survived for 500 years; being both image and archive in the same form. The technological lead of the Catholic Church in terms of graphic communications to ordinary people in the year of our Lord 1513 was at an extraordinary height, a fantastic and monumental advance on anything that had gone before. It has likely never had such a lead since. These windows represent a high point and stood alone in that part of France for hundreds of years.
Then came printing, colour printing, photography, colour photography, and digital cameras, and now there are millions of images in the digital world of these windows. What confidence do we have that any one of these digital images will be visible to a human eye five hundred years hence?
The archive problem is one of format. As soon as we store images in digital, not analogue, form then the storing and reading mechanism's life becomes a concern as does the durability of the digital format itself.
We are coming towards a realisation that we need a few digital file formats, few enough and capable enough that we can store the information we want in them, and then just keeping on copying the files from one reading and writing format to another as time passes: from tape to CD, to DVD, to BluRay, to SATA disk, to SAS disk, to …. well, we don't care; it can go to the cloud and the cloud service suppliers can store the bits on whatever device they want, just so long as we can read and write our TIFFs and JPEGs.
Then in five hundred years time, in a thousand years time, trillions of pictures of the Auch windows will be stored and accessible in the cloud. But not one of them, not even one part of them, against the graphic rich background of our everyday environment, will have the jaw-dropping impact of people seeing them for the very first time in 1514, and realising that humans could do wondrous things for themselves. Truly, information storage can be a marvellous thing. ®

Iran Moves to Roll Back Rights Won by Women
By NAZILA FATHI
TEHRAN - The hard-liners who won Iran's parliamentary elections last February have focused on women's rights in their efforts to reverse some of the reforms carried out under the moderate president, Mohammad Khatami.
After the legislative session began in June, the 290-member Parliament, including all 12 of the women, abruptly rejected proposals to expand the inheritance right of Iranian women and to adopt the United Nations convention that bans discrimination against women. They also backed away from previous efforts to make "gender equality" a goal of the country's next four-year development plan.
Instead, the new Parliament has called for placing more restrictions on women's attire and on their social freedoms.
Since the 1979 Islamic revolution, women have been forced to cover their heads and wear long, loose coats in public. But many had defied the restrictions since Mr. Khatami's election in 1997 and started wearing tighter and more colorful coats and showing more hair.
In recent months, though, newspapers have reported that scores of women have been arrested in Tehran, the capital, and around the country because they were wearing what the authorities considered to be un-Islamic dress.
Members of Parliament have called for segregating men and women at universities and for other limits on women's activities. Hard-liners have held protests to call for a crackdown on freedoms for women and have contended that women ridicule religious sanctities by violating the dress code.
The previous Parliament, dominated by reformists, embraced more legal rights for women and - despite opposition by hard-liners - expanded women's right to divorce and child custody.
Eshrat Shaegh, a conservative woman who has a seminary education and who is one of the women elected to Parliament in the sweep by hard-liners, wrote a letter to Mr. Khatami in July that called for an end to the mixing of unmarried young men and women in public places.
"How do you intend to resolve problems by allowing half-nude women to mingle and party with men who dress like women?" she asked in her letter, referring to women who in the hard-liners' view show too much hair and men who wear colorful clothes.
Abolhassan Davoudi, director of the office that deals with Iranian cinema, was arrested this week and had a heart attack while in custody. He was accused of allowing women who were not properly covered to attend a meeting at his offices. But some political analysts here believe that the hard-liners will ultimately not succeed.
"It is very obvious that the new Parliament would like to impose a strict model of covering for women, but they will not succeed," said Ahmad Zeidabadi, a political scientist and journalist in Tehran. "The more they put pressure, the more they get a reaction because people simply do not think such restrictions can solve their more basic needs."
Imposing restrictions on women's dress has been a barometer - showing how far the authorities are willing to go to allow social freedom and give more rights to women.
Nearly two-thirds of Iran's population is under 30, and more than 60 percent of university students are women. Women have become more vocal, and they demand equal rights. They want jobs and more legal rights within the family structure.
"The general trend in this country is moving towards reforms," said Haleh Anvari a political analyst in Tehran. "These restrictions are like putting a little stone in front of a huge storm that is going for reform," she added, referring to efforts made by the new Parliament.
Women who have been pressing for expanded rights, however, were infuriated when in August a 16-year-old girl, Atefeh Rajabi, was hanged for adultery in the northern city of Neka while the man with whom she was accused of having a sexual relationship received 100 lashes. Amnesty International said the young woman was not thought to be mentally competent.
Women also reacted when Fatimeh Aliya, a hard-line member of Parliament, suggested that polygamy was a way to improve the lot of poor women. Iranian law allows men to marry up to four permanent wives and an unlimited number of temporary wives. But polygamy is despised by most people here, and those who engage in polygamy usually practice it secretly.
"Polygamy eventually serves the interests of women," Ms. Aliya was quoted as saying in newspaper reports. "No woman can emotionally accept another woman in her life, but if she puts herself in the shoes of a woman who needs support then she can accept the idea."
A former member of Parliament, reacting to her comment, suggested that perhaps Ms. Aliya's husband should be encouraged to lead the way.
Most of the women in the hard-line camp who serve in Parliament are members of a women's group called the Zeinab Society. Ms. Aliya said the group received its financing from Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the feminist magazine Zanan reported.
Unlike women in the previous Parliament, who became known for their outspokenness and bravery, the new hard-line members have sought to keep a low profile. They have not accepted positions on the presiding board, and they drew a curtain around themselves in Parliament's dining area so that they would not be seen by their male colleagues.
"Giving women noneconomic and nonpolitical positions in Parliament commissions illustrates the ideal society the conservatives favor," Zanan wrote in an editorial last month. "They prefer that women remain in these sections."

Taking the first major step toward a significant tax hike this year, the House on Monday night approved $500 million in new revenue from increases in the state's gas, cigarette and business taxes in an attempt to solidify the finances of the state's transportation system and invest in local road repair projects.
Taking the first major step toward a significant tax hike this year, the House on Monday night approved $500 million in new revenue from increases in the state's gas, cigarette and business taxes in an attempt to solidify the finances of the state's transportation system and invest in local road repair projects.
The House voted 97-55 just before midnight to approve the tax package that would raise the state's gas tax by 3-cents, increase the per-pack cigarette tax by $1 and impose new taxes on utility companies, software services and out-of-state corporations doing business in Massachusetts.
The margin of support for House Speaker Robert DeLeo's plan, however, fell eight votes short of the two-thirds needed to override a threatened veto from Gov. Deval Patrick.
Opposition to the bill came from both sides of the debate, including liberal Democrats who support more revenue and fiscally conservative Democrats and Republicans that don't want to support new taxes. Advocates speculated throughout the day about where the vote would land and how DeLeo might try to swing votes to his side should it come to that.
"I am proud of today's House vote for a carefully calibrated revenue package that allows us to fund our transportation system without placing excessive burden on taxpayers. With this vote, we address the needs of business and commuters who rely upon our transportation system in a way that encourages economic growth while minimizing the pain on families and employers," DeLeo said in a statement after the vote.
The focus of the tax debate now shifts to the Senate where the Senate Ways and Means Committee on Tuesday is expected to release a revised version of the House-backed transportation financing proposal, hewing closely to the parameters of the $500 million target agreed to by House and Senate leaders last week.
The Senate bill, according to advocates and sources within the Senate, however, is expected to contain reforms and other changes that may require the two branches to reconcile the bills, a step that would delay the proposal from reaching the governor's desk.
The Senate intends to takes up its bill on Thursday, and advocates for increased funding say there could be solid bloc of Democrats ready to vote against the proposal.
Gov. Patrick has promised to veto the bill if it arrives in its current form, calling it a "pretend fix" to years of underinvestment in transportation. Patrick has expressed his hope to negotiate a compromise with the Legislature somewhere in the middle of his $1.9 billion transportation and education plan, and the $500 million plan passed by the House.
"Tonight's vote is the first step in the legislative process. Governor Patrick said today that this does not have to be simply a choice between the House plan and his original proposal. While he does not support the bill as currently drafted, the Governor remains committed to finding common ground on a plan that creates growth and opportunity across the Commonwealth," said Jesse Mermell, communications director for the governor.
Second Assistant Majority Leader Kathi-Anne Reinstein (D-Revere) after the bill passed called it a "responsible package" that avoided toll and fare hikes. She said the bill had "overwhelming support."
"We had a good vote and it shows our members supporting helping our transportation system and helping our ratepayers and taxpayers by not overburdening them with taxes they can't afford," she said.
Rep. Carl Sciortino, a Medford Democrat who has pushed for more revenue, said he worries lawmakers are missing an opportunity to make lasting long-term investments in transportation.
"I hope the sizeable block of no votes would encourage our leaders to take a deep breath and go back to the table," Sciortino said.
Republican offered amendments striking the sales tax on software services, the utilities exemption, the gas tax and indexing the gas tax to inflation, proposals that were all rejected.
After the vote, Jones said the Republicans had managed to work in a few "lesser amendments," but said the caucus had been unable to change any of the major facets of the bill.
During the debate, Jones warned the majority, "You're going to look foolish" for voting in favor of an amendment to study the idea of exempting municipalities from the gas tax –an idea that has been raised for nearly two decades, he said – while earlier voting against a proposal to study the entire $500 million tax package.
"That is a microcosm of what is wrong," Jones said after the final vote, referring to the study amendments.
Jones said eliminating the utilities tax exemption, which would impact NStar and National Grid by charging them a corporate tax rate of 8 percent instead of 6.5 percent, would be passed on to consumers. The amendment to retain the exemption was rejected 44-102.
"It will be convenient because you'll say blame NStar, blame National Grid. But blame yourself. You're doing it to your constituents and ratepayers," Jones said.
Kulik, in defense of the provision that will generate $48 million in new taxes, called the utility exemption an "antiquated and outdated" tax break intended to encourage utilities to bring electricity to rural parts of the state that were not served years ago.
Several amendments that found new ways to raise or cut taxes were ruled out of order during the course of the debate, but other proposals to eliminate specific tax increases found bipartisan support while still falling short.
Rep. Marc Lombardo (R-Billerica) proposed to scrap the tobacco tax increases because he said they would amount to a "stimulus" for New Hampshire where a pack of cigarettes would be that much cheaper. His amendment won the support of 19 Democrats.
"We're counting on them not to quit to the tune of $150 million," said Assistant Minority Leader George Peterson (R-Grafton), disputing the notion that the tax is intended to encourage smokers to quit.
Another Republican-led amendment to scrap the proposed tax on computer design service was backed by 26 Democrats.
The House also voted 46-103 against striking the gas tax increase. Peterson argued that increasing the gas tax by three cents may seem like a small tax, but will increase the cost of delivering goods hurting truck drivers or the small business that will pay increased delivery fees for products.
Also falling short with 53 votes in favor to 95 opposed was Rep. Paul Frost's effort to block the indexing of the gas tax to inflation, which the Auburn Republican and others suggested was a shirking of legislator's duties to allow the gas tax to increase on its own without future Legislative approval.
Straus said the plan was intended to preserve the purchasing power of the gas tax, which has not been increased since 1991, by tying it to economic indicators instead of political forces.
When the debate on the bill opened, about 11 hours earlier, Straus said he was unsure of the prospects of the plan that is too costly for many lawmakers and not bountiful enough for others.
"Will the center hold, so to speak? I don't know. I don't know," Straus said.
The fluid nature of the debate in both branches, including alliances forming between Republicans and liberal Democrats who both might like to see this bill fail for different reasons, has made handicapping the outcome difficult for even veterans of Beacon Hill political fights.
"There are no reliable sources now, because nobody knows," a legislator said Monday afternoon about the prospects for the bill as it advances. The legislator said the idea that House leadership would be unable to pass a tax bill larger than "$500 million" if it wanted is ludicrous.
"Speakers have tremendous powers of persuasion," the legislator said.

Toshiba has taken the wraps off a 7in version of its Thrive tablet.
Due out in the US in December - Toshiba UK has yet to respond to our request for local availability and pricing details - the Thrive 7 sports a 1280 x 800 resolution touchscreen, SRS Labs-powered sound system and an Nvidia Tegra 2 processor running Android 3.2.
Toshiba said it will offer the tablet in two configurations: 16GB and 32GB.
Alas, like the 10in Thrive, which went on sale in the US in July - and is now available over here as the more dully named AT100 - the 7in version is on the chunky side. It's 12mm thick, rather more than the likes of the Apple iPad 2 and the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7, 8.9 and 10.1.
Earlier this month at the IFA consumer electronics show, Toshiba unveiled the AT200 - aka the Excite - a 10in tablet that's just 7.7mm thick. Out in Q4, it looks set to be the thinnest tablet on the market. ®

Re: New to SAM4L/Atmel Studio 6, question regarding C++ and
Incidentally I did search the forum for "C++" but the search engine would not allow me to do that... it chopped off the "++" leaving only the C and then told me I had to have at least three characters. Tried enclosing it in quotes, no joy. Tried "C++ example projects" and it chopped off the ++ and returned no hits. I'll need to practice with the search engine and see what is allowed and what is not.

Happy Chap Goh Mei or 元宵节快乐! Chap Goh Mei (literary translates to 15 nights) marks the last day of Chinese New Year celebration. I served Mala steamboat for an early Chap Goh Mei celebration. I used packet mala paste and because of the spiciness of this soup base, no dipping sauce is required.
I found a smart way to reduce washing dishes! That is to put all the ingredients into these two containers!! If I put all the ingredients into individual bowls or plates, imagine how many dishes I have to wash. Since we have been eating lots of seafood and meat during the Chinese New Year, I wanted something light with more fresh mushrooms, fish and vegetarian based ingredients. Fish fillets, DoDo fish balls, fried fish rolls, pork balls, baby corns, scallion.
