A Trip to the Sawmill
David Frane_ToTT
The main mill building is where logs are turned into boards. There is also a planing mill, offices, and buildings that house the machinery for debarking logs and grinding bark and waste material into mulch. This photo was taken on a foggy March morning; the fog rolled in off the Pacific Ocean which is maybe 200 yards away.
This is one of two log decks, large flat areas where logs are stockpiled. Big Creek owns some timberland but only enough to provide maybe 10% of the company's needs. Most of the logs come from private landowners—who are paid based on the expected yield from each log delivered.
Those small white tags you saw on the logs in the previous photo are bar code labels that contain information about where the logs came from, who the logs came from, and other information of use to the mill.
Whenever possible, logs are debarked prior to being sawn because when trees are felled and dragged they become caked with dirt and grit, which greatly shortens the life of the blades used to turn them into lumber. These logs (which have already lost some of their bark) are waiting to be run through the debarker.
Here a log enters the debarker. It has been through once and is being run through a second time. The debarking machine is a giant ring with rotating cutter blades inside. The ring adjusts to fit different diameter logs, though some of the logs that come to the mill are too big to fit through the machine.
Logs enter the mill via a platform called the live deck—live because of a chain-drive mechanism that allows it to move and sort logs (video here). The operator stands at a control panel inside the shed and by moving the chains one direction or the other is able to position logs so they can fed into one of two openings in the wall of the mill. Each opening leads to a different saw; one set up for quick cutting of low-value logs and the other set up for careful milling of high-value logs.
This is the pony rig (video here), the smaller of the two band saws in the mill (the other is called the head rig—video here) Sitting at controls inside the cab the sawyer (video here) feeds logs onto the rig, rolls them into the desired position, and then cuts them in the manner of his choosing. It's an important job and requires experience and judgment to get the highest yield—not just in board feet, but in value—out of each log.
The log comes out of the band saw rig as a series of wide boards and is sent to the edger for ripping. It's the edgerman's job to position the boards (video here) and set the blades inside the saw to rip nominal width pieces. Like the sawyer, he must optimize value by producing long lengths in desirable widths with the least amount of sapwood, knots, and other defects. The edgerman can position the blades on the fly and uses laser beams to see where they will hit the board.
This is the inside of an edger; the blades can be positioned anywhere along the splined drive shaft and can be adjusted on the fly through the use of hydraulic cylinders. The closely spaced blades on the right side of the shaft are fixed, and are set up to rip 2-by out of a thicker piece. The blades on the left are the ones the operator is adjusting in the previous photo and video.
Five 2x4s plus some thinner pieces (mill run boards) are coming out of the gang rip saw (video here). The piece that went in was approximately 3 1/2 inches thick by 9 inches wide.
When pieces come out of the edger they land on a transfer table that conveys them to the trim saw that will cut them to length (video here).
The saw contains a series of blades spaced 24 inches apart. The trimmerman decides which blades are up and which are down in the cutting position—and so, how long each piece will be. Like the sawyer and edgerman before him, he optimizes value by cutting around the worst defects and producing desirable length pieces.
Grading is the final step before the lumber leaves this particular building. The grader takes a quick look at each board and puts a grade mark on it in chalk (video here). This is another highly skilled job. My tour guide pointed at a board that to this carpenter's eyes looked perfectly normal and said "See this cross-grain crack? That's why it's a lower grade". I looked again and could barely see it. He said the grader can easily see that kind of defect—it's a gimme.
After grading, boards are sent out of the building on the green chain, a chain conveyor about 200 feet long (video here). Workers stand along either side and pull boards off and sort them into piles—based on their grade mark and length. From there boards go to the planing mill, or to air-dry if they to be sold rough-sawn.
This is the planing mill. I didn't go in because it was not being run that day. My bad—I should have gone in and looked at the machines. Well, maybe that's the excuse for another visit.
Big Creek does not have a kiln. They sell lumber air-dry and green. The lumber in this part of the yard is green. The logs up the hill are being stored on the northern-most log deck.
The silver building on the right contains grinding machinery, which grinds all of the bark, sawdust, and offcuts from the mill and makes them into a mulch mix. The mulch is conveyed to overhead bulk bins—the green structure to the left of the truck—and from there dropped into the open top of a semi-trailer.
Here I am in the sharpening room—checking out the largest band saw blades I have ever seen. These are dull and waiting to sharpened. If necessary, they will be re-tipped. Re-tipping means re-grinding the gullets and using a machine to weld on new Stellite tips. Stellite is an alloy similar to carbide; it's tougher but not quite as hard.
The next step is to sharpen the blade by grinding all edges of the newly installed tips. These are the grinding machines. Blades start out 13 1/2 inches wide and get narrower with each sharpening. By the time Big Creek is done with these blades they'll be about 9 inches wide. Blades typically last around two years.
I noticed this strange looking hammer at one of the stations in the sharpening room. I don't know if it was made this way or someone ground it to this shape. Evidently, the saw sharpener uses this hammer while re-tensioning blades—which flattens and stretches the metal to make them run true.
Maintenance and repairs are done in-house. This is part of a much larger maintenance shop filled with mechanic's tools, parts and supplies, and equipment for cutting and welding.
There is also a machine shop—for machining parts that would be hard to buy.
More material here—plus the CAT 950 log loader used to haul logs around.
Bonus photo: This is the view from the parking lot. The hill in the distance is part of Big Basin Redwoods State Park. The low area in front of it is where Waddell Creek flows into the Pacific. Big Creek Lumber's original mill was several miles up that creek; it moved to its current location in 1964.
I was talking to a contractor and somehow the conversation turned to the lumber yards in the town where he lives, Santa Cruz, California. He told me that one of them, Big Creek Lumber, has its own sawmill. The mill processes redwood and is located in Davenport, a small town about 20 miles up the coast from Santa Cruz. I said I'd always wanted to see the inside of a sawmill so he put me in touch with someone he knew at the company and we set up a visit. The following week I made the two-hour drive to Davenport and was met by my tour guide, Alex Walker, the operations manager of Big Creek Lumber's mill. Before we got started Walker gave me the following overview of the company.
Big Creek Lumber was founded in 1946 by members of the McCrary family. Their original mill was located several miles up nearby Waddell Creek Canyon. In 1964 they moved the operation to its current location next to Highway 1 and overlooking the Pacific Ocean. It's a privately owned business and is now being run by the third generation of the family. Between 50 and 60 people work in the mill, which produces 70-100 thousand board-feet of lumber per day. Some of the lumber is distributed through the company's five retail lumber yards; the rest is sold to other lumber yards around the state. Some of the logs processed at the mill come from company's own forestland, but most are supplied by private landowners. Big Creek Lumber was an early practitioner of selective harvesting : Instead of clear-cutting or taking out all the best trees, they take individual trees from throughout the forest and leave the largest most significant trees alone. The company's forestry department manages the process; done properly it leads to a forest with trees of varying age from which timber can be continuously harvested (maybe every 15 years) for an indefinite period of time.

I've just managed to get out all vital information (functions and returntypes, and comments (javadoc) from the openjdk-6 sources.
They are now all displaying using classes in package org.fife.ui.autocomplete.
I just wonder about how to return the function with their paramaters when user selects a function (or field) on the AutoComplete Listbox?
I mean... i don't want the function (as described in Listbox (with it's returntype at the end) but the function in how it is coded with,

It's maybe easyer than i think?

Shell said the expansion will increase the plant's production capacity of alcohol ethoxylate. The investment comes at a time when the traditionally strong Asian petrochemical industry is seeing margins squeezed by a resurgence in investment in US petrochemical plants based on cheaper shale.
By JACOB GRONHOLT-PEDERSEN
SINGAPORE -- Royal
Dutch Shell on Tuesday announced plans to expand its
petrochemical plant in Singapore to meet rising Asian demand
for specialized chemicals used in detergents and personal care
The investment comes at a time when the traditionally strong
Asian petrochemical industry is seeing margins squeezed by a
resurgence in investment in US petrochemical plants based on
cheaper shale.
Shell said the expansion will increase the plant's
production capacity of alcohol ethoxylate -- mainly used in
detergents and personal care items like shampoo and body wash
-- to 180,000 metric tpy from 40,000 tons.
It didn't provide any financial details, but said all
recently announced projects to upgrade its Singapore
plant will be completed in 2014.
The investment will also allow it to more than triple the
production of high-purity ethylene oxide, which is mainly
processed into ethoxylates, and build a pipeline grid to ship
the chemicals to next-door customers.
"The key driver for this is the move by consumers from
laundry powder and soap bars to liquid detergent and liquid
soaps, especially in major markets like China, India and Southeast Asia," Graham
van't Hoff, executive vice president at Shell Chemicals, told
The company expects demand for alcohol ethoxylates in Asia
to grow by 6-7% annually over the next five years.
Shell recently announced plans to boost Singapore production
capacity of olefins and aromatics -- used to make plastic
products and paint -- as well as polyols, used to make
high-quality foams for the furniture and automotive
In Asia, the petrochemical industry mainly uses
oil-based feedstock, so companies are now
looking anxiously at peers in the US, where the surge of cheap
shale gas has revived the chemical business.
Asian producers are also being pressured by large
investments in refining and petrochemical plants in
the Middle East.
As a result, Mr. van't Hoff said, petrochemicals produced from oil
"will tend to be less competitive than those made of Middle
Eastern or North American gas. But as you get further down the
[value] chain, some of the economics start to shift."
Last year Shell said it plans to build a $2 billion
petrochemical plant in Pennsylvania to draw from the region's
massive deposits of natural gas found in shale rock, but hasn't
yet made a final investment decision.
"We are seeking a balance between investing where the feedstock is and where the consumers
are. And given what we've already got on the ground here [in
Singapore], continuing to invest in the downstream makes good
sense for us."
The feedstock will come from Shell's own
petrochemical plant in Singapore,
which has a production capacity of 800,000 tpy of ethylene
and is integrated with the company's largest fully-owned oil refinery with a capacity of 500,000

Eye of the tiger
Ang Lee takes audiences on a fantastic voyage
By Tim Pompey 11/29/2012
Life of Pi
Directed by Ang Lee
Starring: Vibish Sivakumar,
Irrfan Khan, Rafe Spall
Rated PG for emotional thematic content throughout, and some scary action sequences and peril
2 hrs. 7 mins.
Get ready for a wild ride in a small boat with a boy and a tiger lost in the middle of the ocean. If this sounds surrealistic, it is, and yet it remains closely connected to the real world. In fact, this is a film where magic and reality intermingle in such profound ways, you can't tell the difference.
Pi's director, Ang Lee, is one of those film gurus who knows no boundaries. His movies range from comic book action pics (The Hulk) to martial arts gymnastics (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon) and the Oscar-winning Brokeback Mountain.
In this case, however, he has built something much larger and more thoughtful than any of his previous films. It's a global story about life, death, enemies and the search for God. It's a film that contrasts the confines of a small dinghy with the enormous landscape of an ocean, a film that crosses continents to explore the roots of faith and religion. For Lee, it's his cinematic magnum opus.
It begins in Toronto, Canada, where a writer (Rafe Spall) hears a strange story about Pi Patel (Irrfan Khan) and wants to interview him. When they meet at Pi's house, Pi begins to recount how, as a teenager, he survived being marooned in a small boat in the Pacific Ocean for nearly eight months.
The story starts quietly, almost blandly, as Pi tells the writer about his boyhood in India. His father owned a zoo. His mother was a botanist. Except for his odd conversions to Islam, Catholicism and Hinduism, his upbringing was fairly normal. That is, until political upheaval in India pushed his father to move the family to Canada.
After the family and all their zoo animals boarded a Japanese freighter for the long voyage, the boat sank in a monster storm. Everyone on board died except for the teenage Pi (Vibish Sivakumar) and three of the animals: a zebra, a hyena and, much to the young Pi's dismay, a full-grown tiger named Richard Parker.
This is the essence of the story. On a large ocean in a small boat, a boy and a tiger who are mortal enemies must learn to coexist. While the story may have meanings on so many different levels, most assuredly it is about man and nature — different species, different perspectives — forced to share life together. Living itself comes down to sharing and respecting space.
While this is a story of survival, it's the vision of director Lee that makes the screen shimmer with light, water and life teeming beneath the ocean. From the blue sky to the enormous ocean storms, from the phosphorescent shimmer of jellyfish to the snarling jaws and sharp claws of the tiger, Lee has created a canvas so vivid it will take your breath away.
You might assume that, at least in part, this is a nature story, and that would be true; but in this case, Lee has shown nature's true colors. Nature is untamed, frightening and often difficult to endure. The ocean shows no mercy. The tiger is never tamed.
But this is also a movie about the relationship between nature, humans and God. Pi, a young man with an insatiable spiritual curiosity, must become brutal to assure his own survival. Yet, as his situation becomes extremely dire, he cannot escape the question that taunts him: Where is his merciful God and why is this happening to him?
With a wonderful cast, great visuals and a thought-provoking soundtrack, Life of Pi is epic in every sense and then some — particularly if you're willing to watch it in 3D. For those who enjoy the full gamut of international movie magic, Lee has provided for your viewing pleasure a full palette.

I am writing an essay on Political Correctness currently, and striving to find a word fitting this description. I want to say that something wasn't nice, but it wasn't breaking the law. It wasn't legally wrong. But, in the sight of people around me, it was illegal, disallowed, inappropriate, taboo. But after then, I proceeded to say something else that was actually "legally illegal". What is a term that would replace the words in the quotation marks?
Here is an example:
It's recess, and there's joking everywhere. Then someone cracks a joke at someone else. Everyone laughs. The person whom the joke is against laughs as well, then shouts,"You Jew!" What he said was actually prosecutable. It was "legally illegal" I need a term/adjective fitting this description

I have just finished my second shoot using the NN5. I want to discuss a limitation of the NN5. I think it is better to consider this a limitation rather than a criticism. I assume that this would apply equally to the NN3. The limitation I am speaking of is that the NN may not be a good choice for long exposures. It does not help minimize vibration and may in fact amplify it.
The shoot was made from the summit of a small mountain on an island in San Francisco bay. Wind was light but steady. I shot from late afternoon around 6:30 until early night 9:30. I wanted to get daylight, sunset and blue-hour panoramas. The daylight and Sunset shots were fine. The daylight and sunset exposures were all 125th or shorter.
However the blue-hour shots were 3 second exposures and the results were disappointing. The shots not only showed some general Äúnon-directionalÄù fuzziness which I attributed to the wind and atmospheric distortion of the light but also some definite linear vibration. I believe that the linear vibration is attributable to the vibration of the shutter traveling as a wave back and forth through the two arms of the NN. Looking at the NN design it seems obvious that vibration might be amplified by its structure. This same distortion appeared consistently in all of the 30+ exposures I made using a 3 second exposure. Of course I used all of the normal tricks to reduce vibration such as mirror lock up and 10 second shutter delay. Since no similar distortion appeared in the shorter exposures I believe that the exposures were shorter than the wave frequency of the NN.
In retrospect I wish I had used my conventional ball head. Almost all of the important features in the image were 2-7 miles away and so parallax would not be an issue.
I would like to say otherwise that the NN seems to do a good job with shorter exposures. I had no difficulty in setting it up and determining the right settings for my camera and lens.
I would recommend it to other photographers with the caveat that it may not be the best choice for long exposures.

Greetings masked terrorist, Take notice of the article it states: "The evidence will be presented in a court of law and a judge (a real one not a masked lunatic) will render a verdict".

Steubenvilleman - it is useless these days.The HS article comments have become on par with blog. No more intelligent debates or actual laying a good argument out. The trollers are here to throw their unchecked accusations and opinions as if they are judge, jury, and, ah em, as stated on CNN - executioner. Got to love the gullibility though of those that believe everything they read on the internet. We should all start selling beach front property by the river to them.

Throw these punks in a pit with the girls family. Then throw everyone else who helped cover up the culture of rape that is steubenville. Then throw in steubenvilleman just for the*****of it. Smiles no trial needed. Justice is blind we are not. Be afraid.

The people who are making themselves look like total fools, if not worse, are not the people posting facts online, but the people who are out there protesting the arrest of these kids.
If you are in the least bit interested in logic, maybe you will decide to read the facts as presented by your own local TV crew and stated by your own coaches, teachers, students and others who, despite not caring a bit about the victim, can't identify a single thing that has been presented by anyone that does not point to the crime being committed exactly as the witnesses stated and the tweets and videos and images support.
The whining losers of Steubenville care NOTHING about this girl. They are all full of support for two boys who likely sexually assaulted a girl who was passed out.
Question: is there a single gentleman in the county? Is there a single true Christian in your town? Is there anyone that can do anything other than blame the "other" for what your kids did?
Sick, sad town.

Hey "wantedtoknow"....You preech a good story about fairness and christianity, but did you notice your own words? "They are all full of support for two boys who likely sexually assaulted a girl who was passed out." Wow....Talk about judge and jury!!! I would not want to see you on any type of jury. You seem to ignore the fact that many residents have daughters and they DO very much care about the girl. And you talk about people looking like fools......Think about it.

@ steubenvilleconconesrape....your comment about me defending rapists is blatantly wrong. I do not condone rapist. I do condone every Americans right to due process. You come across as a 48 badge boyscout but you remind me of someone who would rather have a good old fashion lynching. I would suggest that we let the law deal with ALL who were involved and let justice take it's course. Of all the people who have posted on this subject, you are the most blantantly ingnorant poster so far. Congrats.

I dont really care what you think. This isn't about me or you but I am man enough to admit when i make a mistake. I confused steubenvillemans post with yours. I dont mean to infringe on anyones free speech but he is an idiot. Throwing around terms like terrorist is irresponsible and just plain stupid. These people are just trying to get the truth out about a brutal gang rape of an unconcious minor female. Once again my bad about the harsh comment pleasethink but it was aimed at that******(or maybe just a troll perhaps) steubenvilleman.

Which approach do you usually take when a majority (5 of 6) of users can easily complete a task during usability testing while one user fails? I cannot really describe the task exactly but it would be great to know a general approach that you have used and which was useful. As far as I know the user experiencing the problem wasn't in any particular way different from other users so I cannot just throw out the result as an outlier.
Is your question "Should we go ahead and ship the product with a 17% failure rate?" If so, and if you're sure there are no weird extenuating circumstances that compromised the integrity of the test itself, here are the factors I would weigh:
For each of these questions, it should be pretty clear whether a 17% failure rate is acceptable or not.
If your question is "How can I get useful information out of his failure?", then I'd focus some energy on determining why he failed. Does he fundamentally misunderstand the way you've structured data? Did he see a cue that wasn't really a cue, and it sent him in the wrong direction?
If you can get that information by interviewing him, that might be a good route to take. If you can't interview him for whatever reason, try testing some more people that you can interview. With a 17% failure rate, it shouldn't take too long to replicate the results. And if you can't replicate them, then your failure rate is actually much lower than 17% -- and therefore a lot smaller problem.
Of course, once you figure out what sent your user astray, you can go about fixing the actual problem.
Most usability tests are not science. They are there to inform your design process and hunt for bugs. If that sixth user had not had a problem your test would have failed, not succeeded (as you seem to think). You are not testing whether your application is user-friendly, the premise of a usability test is that it isn't, and you want to find out why. The five "successes" are where your test went wrong.
As for the consequences for the parts of your design that you did test, they are obviously relatively sound. If the test was conducted properly, you will have some indication of where the sixth user struggled, and what they were thinking.
The trick here is to improve your design without changing the main flow. For instance, when struggling, 80% of users may scan the menus when looking for a way to solve a task, where 20% will try the context menu or the icons. If the task has an entry in the menu bar you've got the 80% covered, but you'll need to find a way to help the 20%. Consider rethinking the context menu, or adding icons to the toolbar. Perhaps you can change the labels in the toolbar slightly to add more scent. It really depends on the specifics of the task.
The point is, you find a way to help the 20% without hurting the 80%.
Q - Usability results: 5 users fly through UI, 1 user fails. What to do?
Ans - Test more people. 6 users isn't really enough unless you are getting the exact same result with all of them.
I would have thought normal usability test would capture users that respond/interact differently to the user interface, especially if it is not obviously intuitive. Of course, it is possible to set up a test to get the results that you want, but the objective is really to try and reveal any oversight or unanticipated behaviour that you were not able to account for in your original design.
In my experience, failures in UI testing gives me ideas about how to modify or adjust the design to cater for the potential frustrating for the user, or provide clues about where more guidance can be provided. Depending on the level of detail that you are capturing, it is well worth documenting the breakpoints and use that as input for your next design or test.
The failures often provide more information than the successes!
I don't know your exact task but I know that some things will always resound with a minority of users. This is more research than testing but if you asked 10 users is they write reviews for a purchases (as opposed to 'would they' which gives skewed results) then it's normal for no one to say they do. This is because only about 1 in 100 tend to do that kind of activity (higher for some psychographic groups).
It may be down to specialist knowledge that people either know or not, like the universal share icon (a bloby < sign) with the majority do not understand or some other element.
I would explore more if it was a complete failure. 6 users gives you a rough idea of how things are working but never gives absolute results - 10 is tends to work well for user testing but for user research I've conducted 50 contextual interviews on one project and was still finding out more about my group of users.

The Andromeda Galaxy is tens of thousands of light years in diameter. That suggests that the most distant stars in the Andromeda galaxy is up to tens of thousands of years "behind" in their orbit around the galaxy, compared to the closest stars. Have anybody generated pictures of the galaxy, which shows the approximate real position of stars? Is this effect visible when looking at the Andromeda galaxy through an amateur telescope?
M31 is actually something like 141,000 light-years in diameter (there has been some variation in our understanding of its size, but 141K is good compromise). M31 is 2.54 million light-years from us. The rotational speed of stars near the edge of the galaxy's disk is in the vicinity of 200 km/sec.
Given all that, in one year a star in the vicinity of the outer edge of the galaxy's disk is going to traverse 6.3 x 109 km. At 2.54 x 106 light-years away, the apparent movement of such a star in the course of a year is going to be about 1.5 x 10-8 degrees, or 0.000054 arcseconds.
The Keck Telescopes in Hawaii, one of the most powerful telescopes in the world, has an angular resolution of 0.04 arcseconds.
As you can see, the best telescope in the world cannot distinguish any change of position of any star at that distance over the course of a year. It would take about 740 years before such a star would move far enough for a telescope with the angular resolution of the Keck to distinguish any movement at all.
So, it isn't visible through an amateur telescope either.

Goal.com cartoonist Omar Momani gives us his unique take on the football news of the dayArsene Wenger has faced heavy criticism over his reluctance to spend money on new signings at Arsenal, and even his compliment towards Napoli forward Edinson Cavani was laced with his own financial conscience.
"Cavani is a player that I like," Wenger confessed in Thursday's press conference before quickly adding: "What is for sure is that he costs a lot of money."
Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis has revealed that a bid of €55 million [£46m] for the striker has previously been rejected - will Wenger try his luck? Er... don't bank on it.

I just read that Broadcom has open-sourced their wireless adapter drivers and was curious if this would have any affect on my Dell XPS M1330 which sometimes has flaky wifi.
You can use
In the line starting with
The Ubuntu help page for the Dell XPS M1330 suggests it's an intel wifi chipset.
But the lspci shows up a broadcom device:
Admittedly that says it's an ethernet adapter but it's not uncommon to have multi-purpose chipsets in these things. So... I'm not sure.
If you're not too squeamish, you could take the panel off that's covering up the card on the back. Dell does a good job of making cards like that pretty accessible.
My wife has a Dell Studio 17 and the wireless went out, so I replaced the card. It says right on the card that it's an Intel.
Oh! and don't break anything...and don't blame me if you do...and all that disclaimer stuff. :)
AFAIK, the open-sourced drivers will only be available for new Broadcom cards, so it probably will not support older cards, such as the notorious BCM4311.
The currently supported firmwares are BCM4313, BCM43224, BCM43225.
Open a terminal
At the $ prompt, type:
That command will list your PCI devices and the grep statement will list any Broadcom devices from that list. If you have a Broadcom device, your output will look something like this:

Noisebridge China Trip
My contract manufacturer for TV-B-Gone and TripGlasses and Trippy RGB Waves kits (and a few other things) has a plant in Shanghai and a plant in Ji Ning (about half way between Shanghai and Beijing) (both are SEZs -- Special Economic Zones).
Mike Zhao, an American who lives in San Rafael, but born in Shanghai, is the head of the contract manufacturer, called Etonnet. He's also a total geek, and goes to Maker Faire, and has been to Noisebridge. He's going to Shanghai and Ji Ning starting 20-October-2009, and asked me if I'd like to go, and asked if other NB people (and/or others) would like to go check out the manufacturing scene and China. Mike will return on the 27th, but I think it would be cool if the rest of us go to Beijing for a few days and check out a bit of China-ness there, as well as visit with some hacker-types at Beijing university. We will return on 3-November-2009.
To give a little taste of what it might be like:
A few months ago, Bunny, who manufactures Chumby in China, organized a trip to China to show interested people the manufacturing scene (and China). Evil Mad Scientist went along: Evil Mad Scientist Schenzhen trip
The cost will be very reasonable, as these things go, and the bulk of the cost would be the plane tickets to and from China. At the moment, a round trip ticket costs $694 (SFO to Shanghai, and then Beijing to SFO). When I went last time, nice hotel rooms were about $15 per night in the part of Shanghai I stayed in, and the total cost for me besides the plane ticket was about $350.
Note: We will need to limit the trip to the first 5 people other than me and Mike to buy their tickets, since we only have one large van to take us around once we get to China.
If you are interested, please add your name, below.
People interested in going to China from 20-October-2009 through 3-November-2009:
You do not need to be a member of Noisebridge to go on this trip.
The trip is limited to 5 people other than Mitch, so the first 5 people on this list (after Mitch) who buy their plane tickets will be able to join us:
Mitch Altman
David Yao
David Kelso
Christoph Maier
Jimmie Rodgers
Eric Boyd

Travel preparations
How to purchase an airplane ticket for $694 (if there are any of these remaining)
If you want to go on this trip, I would recommend buying your airplane ticket ASAP, since these cheap seats might not be available after today. Other seats may be available for $900 on other Airlines, such as Northwest Airlines. But it would be nicer if we all flew in together to Shanghai on the same plane.
(as of 9/25, cost for these flights now $793 Jtfoote 11:58, 25 September 2009 (PDT))
Here is the itinerary for my $693.50 ticket:
Leave SFO: Tuesday, October 20, 2009, 1:15pm
Arrive Shanghai (PVG): Wednesday October 21, 8:55pm
Leave Beijing (PEK): Tuesday, November 3, 2009, 11:55am
Arrive SFO: Tuesday, November 3, 10:00am
NOTE: we arrive in Shanghai, but return from Beijing
(as of 9/25, cost for these flights now $793 J Jtfoote 11:58, 25 September 2009 (PDT))
Here's how Mitch got his plane tickets for $693.50:
- go to Kayak.com
- Click on the "Multi-city" radio-button.
- Fill in the first two lines like this:
- From: SFO To: PVG Leave: 10/20/09 Time: Anytime
- From: PEK To: SFO Leave: 11/03/09 Time: Anytime
- Click the "Search" button.
- If cheap seats are still available, the first item on the resulting screen (after a few false screens are possibly displayed first) will be the flight from Asiana Airlines for $694.
- Click on "select", which is underneath "$694". You can use Orbitz or CheapTickets or Expedia to purchase the tickets (Kayak does not charge anything). I used CheapTickets. Click the "Go" button.
- You are redirected to the site of your choice, where you can purchase the ticket.
Orbitz spake thusly to Christoph:

How to get a visa for going to China
To go to China, you need to have a visa!
To get a visa, you need to have a passport.
Your passport needs to have at least 6 months before expiration.
Getting a visa from the San Francisco Consulate
For this trip, a one time entry tourist visa will do. (Make sure you say that you are going as a tourist, otherwise it is a pain!)
The Consulate General of the People's Republic of China in San Francisco is at Geary Expressway and Laguna.
If you have Simplified Chinese for Adobe Acrobat installed, you can download a form from the Chinese consulate general website, and bring it in to their consulate office (If you don't have Simplified Chinese for Adobe Acrobat, the form won't print, but the consulate has paper versions of the form).
They also want a real photograph for the form. A color printout on regular paper won't do. The consulate information desk person can take 4 passport photos for $10.
Their visa office is a little uphill on Geary towards Geary Court. When you walk in, you have to pass a metal detector, where you're checked for stuff like Swiss Army knives and digital cameras.
You need to take a number (which isn't totally obvious), and when they call you, you walk up to the displayed teller window and give them your filled out paperwork (what you downloaded from their website or filled in while you were waiting) and your passport (which they keep for a while - the more you pay them, the shorter you have to wait, but it's at least one day), and you may also need to bring a printout for your plane ticket (seems to be optional, Christoph got his visa without the ticket).
If you're a foreigner, they want a copy of your Green Card (or probably the other visa that will get you admitted back into the US and A). There's a photocopier in the office, for a quarter a copy.
You go back some days later, and they give you your passport with the visa pasted in, after you pay them with check or credit card, no cash. You don't even have to pick a number this time.
Their hours are usually weekdays 9-12, 13-15, but they have some non-obvious holidays (for 2009), so check them out on the website.
Again, be sure to apply for a single entry tourist visa. Other visa are more expensive and more painful to get.

body is null when launching app from local iframe.
Can't launch Ext 4.1 from local iframe…
I am using Ext inside a line of business system that provides me an html page for creating user interfaces. However, the architecture of this application is as such that when you open one of these pages it actually brings the file down to the local disk and launches it in an embedded Internet Explorer browser.
At first I wanted to just launch my app from the page directly but due to browser security issues and cross domain access Ext would not load. I do wish there was a way around this if the app does not use AJAX or any of the AJAX components in Ext. Anyway, I got around then by simple placing a full screen iframe on the page and launched my app in there. This is a pain but I am use to it now. It works just fine in Ext 4.0.7. However now that I have upgraded to 4.1 to take advantage of a few of the other fixes this no longer works. I am getting the:

Consider matrices $Y\in\mathbb{R}^{n\times n}$ and $X\in\mathbb{R}^{n\times m}$ where $m\geq n$. $X$ is unknown but $Y=XX'$, which implies that $Y$ is positive definite (I see no reason why this couldn't alternately be expressed as a positive semi-definite problem with $Y=X'X$, a different $Y\in\mathbb{R}^{m\times m}$ would still be known).
What the easiest method to find $X$? I was thinking of minimizing the Frobenius norm, but wasn't sure if there was some relatively straightforward thing that I'm missing.

How To Become A Patient
We can evaluate whether or not you or your child requires orthodontic treatment and the best time to begin any needed treatment during a screening visit. This is a brief, cursory examination of the teeth, jaws and mouth. There is no charge for the screening. After the screening, insurance coverage and financial options will be discussed with you.
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that every child be screened by an orthodontist by the age of seven. Often this early intervention results in less costly and less comprehensive treatment requirements.
To obtain information about scheduling an orthodontic screening appointment, call 314-977-8363 or email us at email@example.com.
Please complete the Orthodontic Patient Registration and Health History Form before making your appointment.
Endodontics or Periodontics
Generally a referral from a physician or dentist is required for these services. This can be arranged by phone.
To schedule an endodontic or periodontic appointment, call 314-977-8381 or email us at email@example.com.
If interpretive services will be needed, please let us know when scheduling an appointment.

People who only think of Everlast in connection with his rowdy rap music start with House of Pain, or later with La Coka Nostra, might be surprised to learn he's playing now with just an acoustic guitar and keyboards, singing a rootsy kind of soul.
But it makes a lot of sense when you hear that the man's prime musical and songwriting influences were Bill Withers, Neil Young, and Tom Waits.
Everlast headlines The Sinclair in Cambridge Saturday night. (The Sinclair is located at 52 Church St., Harvard Square, Cambridge. This is an 18-plus show, and tickets are $20 in advance or $25 day of show. Check www.sinclaircambridge.com, or call 617-547-5200 for more information.)
"Outside of being an MC, those three guys were the center of my creative ambitions," said Everlast, who was born Erik Francis Schrody. The idea of groundbreaking songsmiths like that trio being big influences on him makes sense, for his own work has always been richly detailed, specific, and presented intelligently and with good perspective. That just makes it all the more stunning that he eschews actually writing his lyrics down.
"I write in pictures, not specific words," said Everlast. "Even when I was rapping, I would never physically write it down--I just see my songs as picture albums in my mind. If I was to try and connect them all to words, they'd become two-dimensional to me, and lose any of the emotion. I craft them as I go along, and that helps keep them three-dimensional in my mind."
"I don't get them out in any conventional way," Everlast added. "Lyrics form, like from the nucleus of an atom, and pretty soon all the protons and neutrons start gravitating around it. I work off a visual image, and let that feeling surround me."
Everlast had released a solo album two years before House of Pain's 1992 debut went multi-platinum and made them international stars. But the trio imploded by '96, and shortly after that Everlast himself had a major health scare with a heart attack. Returning to his original musical sources, Everlast's next solo album marked a major comeback, as '98's "Whitey Ford Sings the Blues" sold over three million copies, and contained the hugely popular single "What It's Like." The follow-up album "Eat at Whitey's" two years later was not such a massive hit, but eventually it did go gold also.
Everlast began delving more into a country-tinged style of acoustic music, and veering further away from rap, with 2004's "White Trash Beautiful." But by 2006, he was rejoining his old House of Pain cohorts, DJ Lethal and Danny Boy, to form La Coka Nostra. That collaborative effort led to the 2009 album "A Brand You can Trust," but Everlast had to leave that group in 2012, when his then three-year old daughter was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis. Everlast's last three albums have been released on his own Martyr Inc label, including last year's "The Life Acoustic."
"Most of the songs on the last album are old songs," said Everlast. "I've taken them back to their original stages, and tried to see how the context changes."
Some of the standout cuts include "Today," where the singer's gruff baritone seems to be commentating on contemporary life, and offering bits of wisdom, and "Weakness," where he encounters a heartbreakingly beautiful-but-flawed woman on the street. Everlast still has an uncanny knack for instantly memorable couplets, like this one from that latter song, as the woman tells him stories: "She made me cry, I told some jokes, She looked right in my eyes, And told me love is nothing but a cruel hoax.."
"I had written 'Today' soon after I had a near-death experience," Everlast noted. "The meaning of it has changed for me, twenty years later, and that is what makes it so interesting to do again--how you interpret it is up to every person. 'Weakness' is just about a lady I saw on the street, and in all her disheveled homelessness, she was still strikingly beautiful, and I thought about what her story must be."
There's a warm and loose vibe to the record, as if many songs were first takes. With the whole band just including Everlast on guitar and Brian Velasco on keyboards, who'll be with him Saturday, there are obviously no overdubs or fancy electronics. It is organic and affecting music.
"We did do several takes on a lot of the songs, but everything was done live in the studio," Everlast explained. "It is a totally different aesthetic working with groups, where things have to be written out and people have to know their parts--a totally different beast. La Coka Nostra for example, was a group dynamic, where with Brian, I can switch it up at any moment and he can just go with me."
Just since his early days of stardom, the musical industry has changed radically, so that a multi-platinum artist like himself is now releasing music on his own small label, and the days of huge sales are waning for everyone in every genre.
"In my era you sold records, and also bought records," Everlast, 44, laughed. "Now if you just go gold, you're a god. I have definitely sat up and asked myself--'am I the old guy now?' We need more creative ways to get music out to the people, and it costs money to make records, but this is what I chose to do for a living. It's kind of crazy that now we put out music to build interest for our tours, where it used to be the other way around."
"Touring is where music is at right now," said Everlast. "I will always maintain, you cannot download a show experience--you have to be there. But when you get to town, you have to get the people to want to come out and hear you."
There were always probably 15 million aspiring musicians in the nation," Everlast pointed out. "But before the internet, you didn't have to see and hear all of them. The record labels and such served to sift through the crap, but today it is all out there on a more or less equal platform. They all want to be rich and famous, but most of them don't want to work at it. I admit I never wanted a job myself, but I ended up with one of the hardest ones imaginable, because I'm harder on myself when I'm trying to create something than any boss could ever be."
Everlast says he's getting ready to put together another volume of 'The Life Acoustic," so Saturday's show might include some new tunes, as well as a smattering of his previous works.
"Basically, thinking I'd have to try and run through all of it would be delusional," he said. "But I'll play my favorite songs, and what I assume are some of the audience's favorite songs."
We mentioned that the song on the last album, "Stay," with his deepest baritone used to stunning effect over the acoustic guitar, has such a depth of emotional ambivalence and wistful regret, it could be a Kris Kristofferson song.
"I'm a great admirer of Kris Kristofferson's songwriting," said Everlast. "That song is kind of an amalgamation of all the relationships I had, where I had a tendency to get naive women and try to open up the world to them. But it became a Catch-22, because once I helped make them strong, and you expose yourself, they would be calling me out on my own stuff. I could make them strong, but I couldn't make them stay."
Critical reactions to the new sound?
"I never care what people think," said Everlast. "If I ever paused to consider what people think, like reviews, if you believe the good ones, you must believe the bad ones too, right? That would hinder me in my creative process. How can you create properly and freely, if you wonder what people think? I just want to show off songs I think are worth a good listen. I never finished a song I considered a throwaway"

How does atherosclerosis cause disease?
There are two ways atherosclerosis causes disease; 1) atherosclerosis can limit the ability of the narrowed arteries to increase delivery of blood and oxygen to tissues during periods of increased oxygen demand such as during exertion, or 2) complete obstruction of an artery by a thrombus or embolus (thrombus and embolus are forms of blood clots; see below) resulting in tissue necrosis (death of tissue). Exertional angina and intermittent claudication are two examples of insufficient delivery of blood and oxygen to meet tissue demand; whereas strokes and heart attacks are examples of death of tissue caused by complete artery obstruction by blood clots.
There are many similarities between coronary artery diseases (atherosclerosis involving the arteries of the heart) and peripheral artery disease, and the two conditions may coexist in the same individual. For example, patients with exertional angina typically have no symptoms at rest. But during exertion the critically narrowed coronary arteries are incapable of increasing blood and oxygen delivery to meet the increased oxygen needs of the heart muscles. Lack of blood and oxygen causes chest pain (exertional angina). Exertional angina typically subsides when the patient rests. In patients with intermittent claudication, the narrowed arteries in the lower extremities (for example, a narrowed artery at the groin) cannot increase blood and oxygen delivery to the calf muscles during walking. These patients experience pain in the calf muscles that will only subside after resting.
Patients with unstable angina have critically narrowed coronary arteries that cannot deliver enough blood and oxygen to the heart muscle even at rest. These patients have chest pain at rest and are at imminent risk of developing heart attacks. Patients with severe artery occlusion in the legs can develop rest pain (usually in the feet). Rest pain represents such severe occlusion that there is insufficient blood supply to the feet even at rest. They are at risk of developing foot ulcers and gangrene.
When the arteries are narrowed as a result of atherosclerosis, blood tends to clot in the narrowed areas, forming a so-called thrombus (plural thrombi). Sometimes pieces of the thrombi break off and travel in the bloodstream until they are trapped in a narrower point in the artery beyond which they cannot pass. A thrombus or piece of thrombus that travels to another point is called an embolus. Thrombi and emboli can cause sudden and complete artery blockage, leading to tissue necrosis (death of tissue).
For example, complete blockage of a coronary artery by a thrombus causes heart attack, while complete blockage of a carotid or cerebral artery causes ischemic stroke. Emboli originating from atherosclerosis in the aorta (the main artery delivering blood to the body) can obstruct small arteries in the feet, resulting in painful and blue (cyanotic) toes, foot ulcers, and even gangrene.
What are collaterals?
Sometimes, despite the presence of a severe blockage in an artery, the involved area does not become painful or ischemic due to the presence of collateral vessels. Collateral circulation means that the particular area is supplied by more than one artery to an extent that blockage of a single vessel does not result in a severe degree of ischemia. Collateral circulation can develop over time to help provide oxygenated blood to an area where an artery is narrowed. Doctors believe that regular supervised exercise can stimulate the growth and development of collateral circulation and relieve symptoms of intermittent claudication.

I use Git on my development and I find it to be reliable so I wonder what is the reason Automattic choose to use SVN for WordPress?
More then likely it is personal preference. Some people like the workflow introduced by SVN, and some just don't like the distributed model of Git. Some like the way commits, branches, tags etc are handled in one revision control over another.
It could also be that they where using SVN before Git was stable enough and they don't want to go through and switch.
Why fix something that isn't broken?
I really don't think there is a good answer you are going to get on this board, unless someone from Automattic is here. There isn't a right or wrong answer in picking version control systems.
WordPress moved to Subversion in 2003. Git (as a project) was started in 2005.
Absent Doc Brown's flux capacitor coming to fruition, I think the reasons for SVN over Git are rather obvious.
(Hint: they rhyme with "fistory", "finertia" and "forganizational fomentum")
This question is hard to answer by me (and probably anybody else), because I did not made that decision. So you must ask the person who decided to use subversion for the WordPress project to find out more in specific. I don't know the name of the person who made the decision, so sorry for not being very helpful.

Rated 5 out of 5 by A_Pabbs from I own 7 pairs I have this shoe in burgandy, black, brown, cream (higher heel) and gray (higher heel). I LOVE THEM. Typically my shoes cause my feet or back to hurt but these are literally more comfortable than my tennis shoes. They are smart looking for work but yet fun to wear out with a pair of jeans. My only complaint is that the burgandy scuffs a bit but once I found a polish to cover I'm set. I started buying backups when they go on sale which is why I have more than one pair of many colors! I am a Rockport convert thanks to this pair of shoes and now own several different styles! I do wish they come in narrow but I can deal with putting in heel pads.

Rated 3 out of 5 by LuvShoes from Shoes too big and too small at the same time I love the style of this shoe - it was exactly what I was looking for - but I should have listened to the other reviews. I bought the size I always wear in Rockport. My heel kept slipping out. That could have been remedied with a heel gripper. But the toe box on this shoe is way too narrow and tight. I had them on a few minutes in my house and had red marks across the top of my foot. On the positive side, the foot bed is very comfortable - my heels and the balls of my feet were cushioned and comfortable. I just wish the top was as comfortable as the bottom. I'm very sad about this but they are being returned.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Shoegal from Way too narrow I wish Rockport would do these shoes in w and ww. I have back problems and wide feet. These are gorgeous shoes and a great height that give the platform look, but I felt like Cinderella stepsister trying to put on the glass sister. Please Rockport, think about all the gals out here who need w and ww and make more of your very comfortable looking shoes (and people tell me how comfortable they are) in these widths. I would be your best customer!!

Rated 1 out of 5 by Teresa from Love the shoe style, but very, very uncomfortable. I purchased 2pr of the Juliet shoe in black and 1 pr of the Janae in black to go with a new uniform we have for work. The heel of the shoes around the back of my foot is so sloppy it doesn't stay on my foot. I've added the gel heel inserts - 3 per shoe- but that only makes the shoe shorter. They still won't stay on my foot. I've had friends try them and they have found them equally uncomfortable. They are definately not what I expected from Rockport. I'm sick that I've invested so much money in them.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Moxy from Gorgeous shoe, just not for me. I saw these shoes and loved the look of them. I tried them on in my normal size, but had to go down a size because my feet kept flipping out of the shoe. The smaller size fit my foot, but the leather was tight. My foot felt cramped and uncomfortable. I tried breaking them in for a few days and even tried stretching the leather, but ended up having to bring them back. :-( Bummer!

Rated 4 out of 5 by flightattendant from Great Shoe I am a flight attendant and bought these. Our feet tend to swell after standing for hours. I bought a size larger than usual. Although the heel is large (I need a AA heel) the shoe fits fantastic. Very comfortable. I am not a one size fits me in all shoes gal. I always try them on first. Wish Rockport (and other companies) would go back to the "old" days and make a AA heel.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Business Mommy from A half-size too big The first time I slipped into these shoes my heels slipped out when I walked, but after I inserted heel grippers they were tolerable. I would have returned for a half-size small, which might have been perfect in a wide-width, but it was a Christmas gift with a return only policy and I wanted these shoes so badly, I will tolerate a little heel slippage.

How should I store tick data? For example, if I have an IB trading account, how should I download and store the tick data directly to my computer? Which software should I use?
Using IBrokers from R is going to be the easiest route. A quick example of capturing data to disk would be:
This will send CSV style output to disk. Additionally the data can be stored in xts objects within the loop which can be appended to/filled to provide a constant in-memory object to use for analytics. Objects can be shared with many tools - including using the RBerkeley package on CRAN to share objects with other programs with Berkeley DB bindings. This latter approach, if managed intelligently is very, very fast.
Given the symbol limit of IB (100 concurrent more or less) and the 250ms updates - R can typically handle all of this without breaking a sweat (i.e. the JVM running IB's TWS or even IBGateway client is likely to be far surpassing the R/IBrokers process in terms of CPU usage).
You can even extend the syntax above to record more than one symbol by passing a list of Contracts, increasing the number on the eWrapper, and making sure you have a suitable list of files to write to.
In terms of something closer to long-term storage/access, the packages Josh referred to (mmap and indexing) are also very useful. I've given talks with some basic options data examples that are 3-4GB in size without derived columns (12GB total), and I can pull using R-style subsetting syntax any subset I need nearly instantly. e.g. finding 90k+ contracts for AAPL in 2009 (out of 70MM rows) took tens of milliseconds. All without keeping anything in RAM, and all running on a laptop with 2GB of RAM.
I'll likely get some more presentation material for the latter packages put together soon, and will be giving some talk(s) at the upcoming R/Finance conference in Chicago. I am also planning on some public workshops through lemnica related to R and IB for 2011.
What do you want to do with the tick data later? Run analytics? You can save tick data to a flat file for all the software cares, but that would be really slow to access later.
Instead, you should ideally save the data:
There are number of column-oriented databases, though no production quality ones are open-source at the moment. You can try the non-commercial version of q/kdb+ to see what you think of it, though it's a huge learning curve if you aren't used to it already.
Something else to think about when storing tick data is the physical medium. Ideally you'll want:
If you're planning on analyzing the data later in R, you should take a look at the indexing and mmap packages. Though, as @chrisaycock said, you'll need to save the data in a column-oriented, binary format.
If you're downloading the IB data with R, using IBrokers, you can write your own eWrapper to store the data in whatever format you want.
I am using just a filesystem to store raw tick data. I am using protocol buffers to easily allow multiple languages to consume the data. Part of the reason is that I am moving more stuff onto Amazon's EC2 to use their GPU compute instances and storing data in blobs allows for easy integration with S3. I would love a proper column store put right now this has worked well with low development overhead.
We have also tuned our workloads to get around these constraints. Data is typically worked on for minutes or hours after it is retrieved. We are doing pure algo development and don't have (or need) low latency access in a UI.
I am planning on using a complex event processing platform such as Esper or StreamBase to handle the incoming tick data to generate buy/sell events. The tick data would also be be forwarded through a queue (0MQ or RabbitMQ) to be written to a datastore (file or SQL database). By doing so, I have the data necessary to backtest or analyze in R or MATLAB, while still being able to act on the data "real-time". It seems that, depending on transaction volumes and frequency, that a SQL database may become a bottleneck if you want to act on data near real-time since using a SQL database would require that you pick a trigger or a time period to generate a query.
IB does not offer tick data. They consolidate their data every 0.3 seconds or so.
If you want to store your data temporarily for import into another system later on, then just store it as a CSV file.
Personally I use IQFeed to download tick data into SQL Server which I then use to run analyses on. When I need to run multiple test runs on the same data, I store the data locally into a file that I just read directly into memory.
At AlgoTrader we also use Esper to store all arriving Tick Data in a local Esper Named Window. After a predefined interval, the latest Tick Data snapshot is written to both the filesystem and the database. The actual persistence is done in a separate thread by using Esper Threading. Currently we use MySql but you could just as well use some NoSQL Database (like MongoDB).
Have a look how this is done at our Open Source Page
The Algorithmic Trading Platform AlgoTrader is also available as a Commercial Version
Disclosure: I work for AlgoTrader
If you have an IB account, you can use their API to request market data and save to a flat file. That being said, IB does not offer true tick data, it is filtered and you may want to consider a different data feed if you need true tick data.

Comments about REN Radiance Perfection Serum, 1.02 oz:
I use this in the morning, under my sunscreen or REN BB cream. It goes on easily, you don't need much. It can feel sticky until it's dry, just a minute or so, and then it feels like it's tightening my skin, lifting it. In a GOOD way. I have seen some lightening of sun damage patches on my forehead, but as I also use their bio-retinoid cream I'm not sure exactly how much is due to which product. Regardless, I am ordering more.

Comments about REN Radiance Perfection Serum, 1.02 oz:
I like the Ren products--I use one of the nighttime anti-aging creams and it didn't irritate my skin. So I thought I'd give this a shot for day time. But really, I felt it was just expensive nice-smelling serum. My skin has some scarring from acne and bigger pore, occasional breakouts. I didn't notice an improvement in the skin, but it didn't make my skin worse, either. So, really maybe if you have normal/good skin or dry maybe it's moisturizing? Honestly, I don't really know what it does! But the rest of the brand is pretty good...

A friend of a friend told me that he was traveling through Asia. Then once he ordered a meal in a restaurant. He couldn't understand what it was. So he first got a good stock. Afterwards a waiter brought a turtle that was placed in the hot soup. Obviously, the turtle got very scared and defecated and urinated into the soup. Then the turtle was removed from the soup and the meal was finished. My personal opinion on this meal doesn't matter here. I'm just curious if this story could be true and if, how the meal is called and where you would have to go to get it.
After quite a bit of research, I wonder whether this isn't some sort of weird combination of stories.
Turtle soup exists. That's not under debate. For this you need to go to China or the US, especially in Louisiana.
Now most commonly, turtle soup in China is made with soft-shelled turtles. This is important, because they can urinate through their mouths when dipped in water!!
Now given that a lot of animals are prone to wetting themselves when frightened, then it would stand to reason that if instead of cooking the turtle, you dipped it in the water, it might well pee /poop in the water....
One other less sanitary means of doing it is demonstrated on this link, although it's not particularly kind to the turtle.

When using a bike on a road in the UK, is it ever legal not to have separate brakes on the front and back wheels?

Yes. A fixed wheel does not need two, it needs only one (on the non-fixed, presumably the front, wheel).
Two separate and independent bracking systems, one per wheel, are required, but as the CTC say
Note also that, when sold, European regulations dictate that it should be left-hand rear, right-hand front.
Not too sure on the legal standing on actually using the bike on the road - I think it extends to retailers legally having to sell bikes with brakes, and a bell too I seem to remember.
