Do you do any testing with shoulda? after banging my head over rspec for the past few days i decided to give it a try but there is not much instruction out there. I bet this cast would have gotten me stick with rspec for a few more days if id seen it earlier. :-p
It should probably be noted that it's not ideal to just get every passed in action in the last macro. Instead, one might use something like the following:
Good stuff. :) The RSpec RDoc on matchers is very confusing but your screencast is very easy to understand.
Awesome, custom rspec matchers for Moonshine are in my backlog. You just saved me a lot of time :).
Thank you very much.
Does your it_should_require_admin_for_actions test what you want it to?
In articles_controller_spec.rb, you wrote out 5 it blocks that test the actions using get, post, put, and delete, but it_should_require_admin_for_actions only runs get on each of the actions. Doesn't it need to run the correct verb on each action, or does it work the way it is?
@Clemens, @erik, good eye, and thank you for pointing this out. I have not found any downside to using "get" at all times for testing this authentication before filter. However the solution Clements gave seems like a great way to handle this issue.
As a new person to tests and RSpec I have a problem getting my head around one thing:
How do the tests you write get integrated back into the code of the application? And how do methods like login_as_admin get used in the application?
If I'm writing code to make tests easier, shouldn't that code also make coding the application easier?
As always awesome reailscast.
I'm going into Rspec+Cucumber and so on right now and those last episodes are really useful.
Hope you are going to make some more on the topic.
Have a good 1 buddy.
As usual another great screencast, thanks Ryan.
I am especially enjoying all your recent screencasts dedicated to testing as I felt I needed some extra help on this often underestimated aspect of programming.
I really appreciate your work. It helps me to improve my skills in Rails. Thanks a lot.
thanks! thanks! thanks!
At 3:07 on line 5 in the block 'action' changes to 'actual' - don't really see this as a problem, was just weird - thought I was seeing things till I wound it back.
Great episode as usual.
I'm a little foggy on why it_should_require_admin_for_actions needs to be a class method. Is it because you're using it to generate it-blocks?

Don`t understand what do this code
it "#{action} action should require admin" do
get action, :id => 1
Very senk!
Thanks! Recently I've been reading the RSpec beta book from Pragmatic Programmers, and it was not too much clear for me. Now I think I've finally understood how this works.

Beloved Berlin Wall (film)
Directed by German filmmaker Peter Timm, Beloved Berlin Wall is a lighthearted romantic comedy that provides a refreshing setting compared to the usual American offerings.
Set in 1989, the time of the Berlin Wall - which had divided the German city since 1961 - the story focuses on East German border guard Sascha (Maxim Mehmet).
He falls in love with a West German woman, Franzi (Felicitas Woll), who has just moved into a flat near his security tower.
But their 'love at first sight' romance blossoms too easily. While Franzi is on a cross-border shopping trip, she gets in trouble. Sascha is there to save her. The two then start to communicate across the wall - using binoculars, body language and notepads - which ends with a date in the East.
Yet their relationship arouses the suspicions of the Stasi, the East German state security service: they're sure Franzi is a spy ...
Despite the use of the true-to-life setting of the Berlin Wall, the movie lacks a focal point. It fails to convince as either a historical piece or a love story; the romance is far too predictable and the wall's existence used merely as a marketing device.
But if you want a simple, warm-hearted movie to help pass a cold winter's night, Sascha and Franzi's love story is perfect.

Joint Statement: BANGLADESH: Government must act to protect Women Human Rights Defenders in Chittagong Hill Tracts
News Source : Joint Statement: BANGLADESH: Government must act to protect Women Human Rights Defenders in Chittagong Hill Tracts
Government of Bangladesh must act to protect Women Human Rights Defenders in Chittagong Hill Tracts
Government of Bangladesh must act to protect Women Human Rights Defenders in Chittagong Hill Tracts
The Women Human Rights Defenders International Coalition (WHRDIC) condemns the violent attack on woman human rights defender Hana Shams Ahmed allegedly by the Bangalee Somo Odhikar Andolon (BSOA) group and is alarmed by the failure of police to provide protection despite known, repeated threats.
On August 25th, 2014, Hana Shams Ahmed, a vocal advocate for women's human rights and Coordinator of the International Chittagong Hill Tracts Commission (CHTC), arrived with a female friend on a personal visit in Bandarban. At around 6:30 pm when they were returning to their hotel from Shailopropat Tourist Spot in a shared taxi, 8-10 people, led by BSOA leader HM Samrat, seized the taxi, pulled out two other passengers and physically assaulted Hana and her friend, striking their faces and backs. According to Hana, the Detective Branch police who were ordered to provide her security were accompanying her all day; however, they disappeared during the time of the violent attack. The attackers stopped and left the two women after the group leader saw a local motorcyclist who recognised them.
Hana Shams Ahmed has been a vocal advocate for women's rights. The CHTC recently published a report on violence against indigenous women and girls in Chittagong Hill Tracts that found that impunity has been the single most important factor contributing to increased incidents of sexual and gender based violence in the CHT. Hana has also been active in the campaign for Kalpana Chakma, an indigenous women's rights activist who was abducted from her home in CHT in June 1996, allegedly by members of the Bangladesh Army.
The Coalition notes with concern that this violent attack is part of a trend of increasing attacks on WHRDs due to the failure of authorities to take effective legal actions to protect human rights activists. CHTC members have been repeatedly targeted with intimidation and violence for carrying out their human rights work. Last month committee members of the CHTC were also attacked.
We call on the Government of Bangladesh to:
1. Conduct an immediate and transparent investigation into the attack on Hana Shams Ahmed and bring all those responsible to justice;
2. Ensure the physical and psychological protection of the staff of CHTC and provide security to ensure they can continue their human rights work without constraint; and
3. Respect and protect human rights defenders and ensure they are able to conduct their legitimate work without fear of physical and psychological violence throughout Bangladesh.

|Reviews for My Gilded Life
| Covante chapter 13 . 5/12/2013
"but toward the end of her books Rowling hadn't had ANY heroes left to her series! She'd tarnished them all to the point that by the end there wasn't one you could honestly respect. And, well, that destroyed all of the enjoyment many of her fans had in her universe."
Neville and Luna never had their characters impinged. Luna is never heroic but, depending on how you view her particular brand of crazy and her timidnes towards bullies, she could be considered admirable. She never does anything dishonorable at any rate. After Hermione slips a bit and targets a murderer with his wand on her with a Silencio in OotP she takes a nose dive in H-BP and hits bottom in DH with this disgustingly pathetic display, "You'd prefer a bunch of sentient beings didn't die? Oh you're so thoughtful and compassionate Ronald! SWOON!" That was the 2nd most disappointing moment for a strong female in literature ever. Only eclipsed by Elizabeth Bennet deciding that if she got to be the Mistress of Pemberley then maybe Darcy wasn't so bad after all.
Neville though, well that guy comes through for us to fan away the dreadful miasma of antiheroes and fallen stars. First year he tries to stop the trio from losing Gryffindor even more points, he fails of course (nothing got in the way of a determined Hermione back then), but he tries. He's not a particularly talented or forceful character and he knows it, however he's always ready to stand up in defense of others even if he has trouble doing it for himself. And in DH he's really come into his own. He's at Hogwarts running the DA underground, jumping in front of Crucios for ickle firsties, keeping the heat on himself to a degree that he looks like he's just been dragging Grawp across the continent, coordinating supply chains and making sure that the students who need to hide won't be found. He's the first one out to face Voldemort after Harry comes back dead and he does it with his chin up and back straight. He finishes the task that was assigned to him and lops Nagini's head off. Neville may not be the most talented wizard but he's far and away the best person and the only unimpeachably respectable character in the entire series.
| Covante chapter 5 . 5/11/2013
I keep my laptop next to my bed, and used to keep a notebook there, so I don't have to get up to write things down if they strike me while in bed. I always have the best ideas right after waking up but only partially and ending up in that lucid dream sort of state. It's nearly impossible to remember anything the moment I get up though.
| Covante chapter 4 . 5/11/2013
Dumbledore wasn't the first person to show Harry kindness, Hagrid was. He took him away from the Dursleys, told him about being a wizard and introduced him to the whole new world, gave him the key to his vault, bought him ice cream, and gave him his first birthday present which became his most steadfast and reliable companion. He also disparaged Slytherins and one of the first things Harry hears him say is how he won't tolerate a bad word against Albus Dumbledore when Vernon says he won't "Pay for some crackpot old fool to teach him magic tricks."
There had to be a reason Hagrid the Groundskeeper was sent instead of someone more professional and better able to blend like McGonagall. The facts that he's the most ardent Dumbledore supporter you'll find and presents a rather intimidating image when he chooses to aren't insignifant; the facts that he gets to dovetail his fetch and carry mission with the stone and that it's a nice full circle since Hagrid was the one to carry him to the Dursley's are. (Personally the moment he admits to having delivered me to the Dursleys I'm instantly suspicious, ala Brutal Harry.) He also shows up right at midnight for some reason and is able to track them to that island somehow. Why wouldn't he wait until morning? If Hagrid is well-mannered enough to know it's polite to offer tea to guests bisiting his hut then he's well-mannered enough to know making a midnight visit is rude. Yet he doesn't let that stop him from knocking the door in.

So. I've got to ask: murder but not breaking tenants set out in PoGP?
Other than that little conundrum, I like your dialogue fairly well, but sometimes the long speeches get a bit unnatural-sounding.
Keep up the good work!

Most most excellent.

...I don't know whether to be offended at the Russian part (since I'm half Russian) or praise your writing genius. Oh yeah, majority wins, you are a great author, and writer, and I didn't even realize Rowling's loopholes until you pointed them out, so thanks for that, too.
Also, and I'm sure many would agree, I'd like to read a sequel, if you have the time and motivation to write one, of course. Is the self-insert going to ever go back to his world? And what happened to the real Gilderoy Lockhart, anyway? I'm also interested in the muggle world's reaction to manga. Only if you want to, I don't want to annoy you with requests or anything, it IS your story after all.
| taxzombie chapter 8 . 1/21/2013
Concerning your rant, IMNSHO, your rant concerning Snape was spot on. For that matter the rest of your rants in this chapter pretty much mirror my on opinions concerning Rowlings works, especially the last two, to use the term loosely, books. More like hard bound TP.
Your dart board analogy could be used for more then just pairings as any resemblance to a real plot for Half Blood Ponce and Dead Horrible seems to fit that more then anything else.
I truly enjoy fanfiction, much more so then the original material. I do thank her for creating this world where so many have wandered. Granted, the majority of the wanderers seemed to have managed to find the tar pits; or worse. But there are enough well written and interesting fics to make the search worth the mire one falls into now and again.
A lot of folks seem to think that SI's are beneath them. I ask, why? If a story is interesting, or fun read, who cares if the author is wondering around on the pages as one of the characters. Hell, the authors are there anyway, whether they insert themselves as a character or not. Simply in the telling of the tale, the author is inserting their thoughts, thier ideas, thier beliefs.
In a way an SI could even be considered a more honest storytelling, after all you know up front what the author is thinks about some things.
I've enjoyed your other tales and am enjoying rereading this. I do hope to see new material from you. It is always a pleasure when I do.

Awesome story! _
| Kythorian chapter 14 . 1/12/2013
Well, there are a lot of problems that generally pop up in self-inserts, most of which you thankfully avoided...one you didn't avoid was that they tend to be rather preachy. The author uses them to give long winded rants about what they didn't like about the story rather than actually spend their time telling their own story. You both did this, and then went and made it worse by doing the same, except with your religious views. Which was especially awkward because you would have your character go from going on a psychotic murdering rampage to talking about how religious he is and how he would rather die than violate his morals in the same chapter. It was just weird.
And you cant really say he was just killing people who deserved to die. Maybe that is true, but the way he went about it, it was total luck that the only people killed were death eaters. Malfoy could have just as easily been having some publicity charity stunt with all the children from st. mungo's in attendance when Harry came barging in on a basilisk as a death eater reunion. As you said in this story, it is intentions that count, and your char's intentions pretty much seemed to come down to 'lets go kill lots of people, most of whom are probably guilty'. Ok, so he was suffering from the built up craziness from several different things at that point, but even long before that, he murdered Dudley. It was one thing to kill the adult Dursley's (sort of), but Dudley was pretty much just a schoolyard bully. Not to mention an ELEVEN YEAR OLD child.
Then you have your char turn around and spend chapters talking about how evil Dumbledore is for putting Harry through a lot of admittedly pretty awful things leading up to his death. And yet your char is willing to do basically equal evil for what HE sees as the 'greater good'. Whats the difference? Other than that your char's 'greater good' happens to include the good of the protagonist of the story he is in while Dumbledore's doesn't? Morally speaking, that shouldn't matter.
The whole thing just has far too much ranting on your views of the books and thinly veiled criticism of how JKR should have written them, and worse, you are not even consistent because you have your char turn around and do a lot of things just as bad as what you criticize from other cannon characters. And THEN have him talk about how important religion and sticking to his morals are and ranting about THAT. Not to mention that you seemed to consider sleeping with someone before marriage a far greater sin than murdering large numbers of people. It was just kind of strange.
But in spite of that, it was still one of the best self-inserts I have ever read. As a sub-genre in fanfiction, they tend to be fairly awful as a group. But if you can ignore the issues i listed above, the actual plot of this story was quite good.
| Kythorian chapter 13 . 1/12/2013
this took a sudden and odd twist in this chapter...oh well
| Lemrinth chapter 14 . 1/11/2013
Wow! I love this story! Especially how realistically you explained how he did it and why.
| Mortimer Grimm chapter 7 . 1/8/2013
This Character Filibuster was preachy and unappealing. The standard of writing is also lower than the rest of the story - one would think you just used the whole chapter just to preach - even the few opposing opinions are practically strawmen, like Hermione's. Far lower writing quality than the rest of the story.
| griffindells chapter 14 . 12/31/2012
so will there be a sequel? pleeeeaaasey please say yes
| newbie456 chapter 14 . 12/30/2012
you write good story, a little confusing perhaps but good nonetheless.
| Ragdain chapter 7 . 11/30/2012
You have a good story, unfortunately I don't read anything that openly discusses religion, politics, or culture not pertinent to the fan-fiction on principle alone. Having said that yours is actually one of the better self inserts I have read and i commend you on a job well done but I have to break it off here.

I am new to C and having trouble with the program below. It asks people if they are well or not and displays a message accordingly. So far I have tried using
strcmp and
strncmp and none returns a positive value for
if, all skip to the
else statement. Can any one point to me where I am going wrong as the syntax seems fine to me.
#include "stdafx.h"
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
int main()
char well[3];
printf("Hello, are you well today? (Yes/No) ");
scanf_s ("%s",well);
if (!strcmp(well,"Yes")){
printf("Glad to hear it, so am I\n");
printf("Sorry to hear that, I hope your day gets better\n");
return 0;
Many thanks to all for all the answers unfortunately none of them seem to work. Assigning a 4 to take account of the null makes no difference. Invoking scanf rather then scanf_s results in an access violation (which is odd as the rest of the program uses plain scanf. Adding a '4' parameter to scanf_s also makes no difference. Really tearing my hair out here I'm happy to accommodate the null at the end of the line but the program won't seem to recognise it.

When i used them the first time in Tenerife I was not happy and complained. They asked me to try them again and gave me a discount for doing so. Used them last week to ferry 10 adults to and from Alicante airport and it was perfect. Collected immediately at arrivals and picked up on time when leaving to return to airport. Can't ask for much more and I will definitley use again.

Athenian Rice With Feta Cheese
Total Time
Prep 20 mins
Cook 25 mins
Posted for ZWT II 2006-Greece. I found this recipe on RecipeRewards.com, and find that posting any recipes found elsewhere here gives me better nutritional values than the sites I get them off of. Loving Zaar!!! *** Note*** to soften sun-dried tomatoes, place in 1/3 cup boiling water; stir to coat. Let stand 10 minutes; drain water.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup red onion, chopped
- 1 red bell pepper, seeded deveined and chopped
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 3 cups cooked rice
- 1⁄2 cup sun-dried tomato, softened (see above note)
- 1 (4 1/2 ounce) can black olives, sliced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons dried oregano leaves
- 1⁄2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1⁄4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- fresh oregano (to garnish)
- Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add onion, red pepper and garlic; cook and stir until onion is tender.
- Stir in rice, tomatoes, olives, parsley and oregano; heat thoroughly.
- Remove from heat; add cheese, lemon juice and black pepper; stir until well blended.
- Garnish with oregano. Serve immediately.
Most Helpful
This was a bit dry (perhaps becaused I decreased the oil a bit) but otherwise really tasty. BF enjoyed it too. I halved the recipe but wished I made the whole thing. I did not soften the sun-dried tomatoes as I like them chewy, and I used Greek kalamata olives. I could definitely see adding more garlic too. The rice stuck to the pan so if you want an easy clean up and don't care too much about the extra calories, I suggest you use more oil. Thanks very much for this recipe!
I really enjoyed the flavours in this recipe. Like Kittencal I increased the amount of garlic used, and I also used all fresh oregano. Yum!
This recipe was chosen for the Zaar World Tour Game, and I am happy that I did choose it, this is a wonderful rice recipe with ingredients that blend together well, I did increase the garlic to 2 tablespoons and also the olive oil and oregano, and also increased the feta and used lots of black pepper! thank you for sharing this recipe Charbear!...Kitten:)

Saturday's Brandon Rios-Richard Abril bout has one always-attractive element at its very core: bad blood. The fighters had a brief, salty exchange (punctuated by a few shoves and slaps) during a Miami press conference to announce a fight originally scheduled to pit Rios (29-0-1, 22 KOs) against former featherweight champ Yuriorkis Gamboa. Abril (17-2-1, 8 KOs) used Gamboa's absence at the event to make a case for a fight against Rios by challenging him during their brief faceoff, and when Gamboa withdrew from the proposed match, the stage was set for Rios-Abril.
On Saturday at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, as part of an HBO PPV split-site doubleheader, Rios (who hails from Oxnard, Calif.) will attempt to regain the lightweight crown he lost on the scales last December when he couldn't make weight before his fight against John Murray. For his part, Cuba's Abril will seek to validate his interim title in the biggest fight of his career. The styles seem to mesh well; Rios is the active, in-fighting bulldog, and Abril is the wild swinger with a difficult two-fisted attack, which could throw off Rios' game and turn the fight into an interesting matchup.
With the stage set, here are five keys to victory for Abril:
Loop 'n' hook
Get the address right
Stay at midrange
Say hello to Bob
Six is the new three

Whenever you begin to notice the signs of pests within your office, you may believe the issue is something you can handle all on your own. However, there are circumstances in which it definitely pays to engage the services of professionals in the world of pest control. These individuals have the skills, training and equipment to address the situation much faster and more effectively than you ever could. The truth is that for some situations, hiring a team of professionals really is the only method of ridding the premises of pests once and for all.
Video credit: ASAP Pest Control based in Central Florida
Any time pests infiltrate the office, your biggest priority is eradicating them immediately. Not only do pests create a general nuisance in your place of work, they can also be rather destructive, in the case of mice or even termites. The key is to tackle the problem as promptly as possible so that you can move on with business.
Should you make the decision to engage a team of professionals, it makes sense to invite prospective technicians to your office in order to discuss your company's needs. Numerous options may exist when it comes to solving the pest issues, so it is wise to discuss the pros and cons of each. You should also make certain to request detailed cost information related to all of the pest elimination options presented to you so that you can make an smart decision on how to proceed.
Enlisting the help of professionals is a great way to relieve yourself of the hassle of acquiring all sorts of chemicals and tools in order to stop the pests in their tracks. You may purchase all sorts of items only to realize you need more. Ultimately, it is easier to allow the professionals to do their job and clear all pests from your office.
It is not always easy to identify the places in your work space where pests are living and breeding. Professionals, on the other hand, have a comprehensive understanding of how pests hide and how to root them out effectively. It may take a team of professionals a single day to remove them all, whereas you might need a great deal longer to do the same job.
Consider what you like to do with your spare time and decide if pest eradication is something you would enjoy. If so, there may not be a need for professionals. However, if you would prefer to leave the task to those better equipped to handle your infestation, find a reputable firm in your area and let them explain their process.
There are pest control companies that offer ongoing service contracts which only require a call from you in order for a visit to be arranged. If your pest control needs tend to change with the seasons, you may benefit from an arrangement of this type.
None of us are interested in working with pests in the office. Whenever you notice the signs of pests nearby, swift action should be taken to mitigate the problem. Consult with friends and family to find the best pest control company to suit your needs and your budget. Once you identify that firm, schedule an appointment and begin the process of eradication. The relief you are sure to feel is immeasurable.

Reflections on the lectionary readings by pastors, preachers, and biblical scholars
Photo by Mary Harrsch
Each Monday we publish Sunday's Coming, an email-only post on the upcoming readings, written by our current Living by the Word columnist.
Email Address
1 Corinthians 15:1-11, Luke 5:1-11
It's too soon in Luke or the new year for an Easter story. Still, any time we're working the night shift with Jesus, we must be prepared for an outbreak of Easter. We witness what it's like to be astounded by a death-defying Jesus, moved from failure and scarcity to life and triumph. It's wonderful.
Luke 4:14-21; 1 Corinthians 12:12-31a
The opening scene of Jesus' public ministry left no doubt: a commitment to Jesus involves a commitment to build communities of peace and justice. But first comes the calling.
Psalm 36:5-10; Isaiah 62:1-5; John 2:1-11
Even the Messiah had to adjust his schedule when events took a surprising turn. The story of Jesus' coming-out event as told by John demonstrates his spiritual flexibility.
Isaiah 60:1-6; Psalm 72:1-7, 10-14; Ephesians 3:1-12; Matthew 2:1-12
Because we know almost nothing about the wise men, our imaginations take wing. If we were brought up in the Christian faith, these characters have ridden across our minds and hearts ever since we were taken to our first Sunday school pageant.
Isaiah 43:1-7; Luke 3:15-17, 21-22
Names are sacred words by which we are individualized. Jesus, in baptism, received a new name. So do his followers. Baptism also sets each of us apart as a particular kind of person—one owned by God. Those who have been baptized are called to live out the meaning of this remarkable reality.

MUSIC; A Music So Demanding That It Sets You Free
By MATTHIAS KRIESBERG
Published: December 8, 2002
NOWHERE is it written that a composer who challenges the presumptions of the avant-garde can only choose to imitate the past.
While the big new-music story of the 1980's in America may have been the migration from ''uptown'' to ''midtown'' (let's leave the downtown crowd out of this), there were also composers establishing base camps far from the aesthetics defined by Manhattan neighborhoods. Some of them created idioms that were radical in their premises yet part of the continuum of music stretching from plainchant through the Second Viennese School.
There is hardly a more vivid example than Brian Ferneyhough, whose music -- suffused with coloristic detail and unequivocally atonal -- is being presented this week in two programs in New York: seminal solo works performed by the Ensemble Sospeso at the Tenri Cultural Institute on Thursday and chamber music featuring some of the same soloists at Weill Recital Hall on Saturday.
Mr. Ferneyhough (pronounced FUR-nee-ho), 59, lived in England until he was 25, then moved to the Continent, where he found a warmer reception for his developing musical ideas. In 1987, having achieved considerable prominence in Europe, he took on a substantial change of environment, accepting a professorship at the University of California, San Diego; two years ago he moved to Stanford.
His scores are not grist for sight-reading; in fact, they might induce vertigo in an unwary player. A typical measure presents barely perceptible calibrations of intonation and rhythm, a broad spectrum of registers, dynamics and modes of articulation, detailed phrasing instructions and a smattering of grace notes, all within a few seconds. (In the case of ensemble works, multiply the above.)
This is surely the reason his music has seldom been heard in New York. It is a fact of life that our most accomplished new-music performers are much in demand, and if they want to stay in the game, to say nothing of earning a living, they are hard pressed to devote six months to learning a work. But in the long view, Mr. Ferneyhough is on rather solid ground. After all, how many years does it take really to learn Liszt's B minor Sonata?
''I didn't set out to write difficult music,'' Mr. Ferneyhough said recently from Palo Alto, Calif. ''I was interested in music that mediates: between the notated score and the listening experience, between our perception of time and a sense of pulse, between our inner self and the world outside.'' He envisioned the performer as an extension of the piece itself, he explained, so the goal was ''not virtuosity but a sort of honesty, authenticity, the exhibition of his or her own limitations.''
''I write for people who are on this spiritual quest,'' he added.
Not surprisingly, when Mr. Ferneyhough wrote his first such scores, he did not immediately find performers ready, willing and able. But a 1970 work for solo flute captured the attention of the French new-music flutist Pierre-Yves Artaud. ''He actually understood,'' Mr. Ferneyhough said. (The work, ''Cassandra's Dream Song,'' now practically a conservatory piece in Europe, may be heard on a new Bridge CD of Mr. Ferneyhough's flute music in a sensational performance by Kolbeinn Bjarnason.)
''The notation produces a psychological effect on the player that creates an ecstatic energy,'' said Rand Steiger, a composer who has long championed Mr. Ferneyhough's music in America and is conducting the concert on Saturday.
The Ensemble Sospeso's concertmaster, Mark Menzies, who will perform in both concerts, agreed. ''The music is strangely liberating,'' he said. ''It changes the concept of what it means to master a phrase, for there is an infinite depth to perfection. The individuality of the player must come forward.''
Indeed, this music is absorbingly intense. Do not put it in your car stereo. I did once in San Diego; I was about to cruise through a red light when I was suddenly deterred by the incredulous faces of two motorcycle patrolmen. (Driving under the influence of Ferneyhough is probably not an acceptable defense, even in California.)
The relationship between a score and a performance is, in the best case, both decisive and mysterious. Beethoven's scores, for example, are surely precise, yet they invite -- compel, actually -- a performer to interpret the music, not execute it. Over hundreds of years composers have become increasingly specific in their notations. Once new modes of expression become part of the common musical vocabulary, composers have more choices, and at the same time they must ensure against ambiguity.
But as scores became more specific, the vital attribute of interpretation diminished. Composers often valued accuracy above all. Performers became increasingly focused, justifiably, on getting it right. A counterintuitive but undeniable result of Mr. Ferneyhough's approach, with an immense wealth of detail cascading on a player, is in fact to restore and reinvigorate the balance that historically existed between music as a theoretical set of instructions and music as a living, unrepeatable entity.

I made the vegetable rice mix, however I didn't have vegetable bouillon so I used chicken bouillon instead. I left out the salt because bouillon is already so salty. I also added 1/4 teaspoon chiptle powder per one cup of rice. I'll definitely make more of these to have on hand and for gifts. Penzeys is a good source for all the dried vegetable flakes.
I made the lemon-dill rice mix and it went wonderfully with grilled fish. I did not have the bouillon powder and decided to cook the rice in chicken broth. Since chicken bouillon typically has salt, I think that 1 teaspoon salt would be to much for my taste. I did reduce the salt to 1/2 teaspoon even with the broth and it was plenty. I look forward to trying the others.
Fun recipe to make. I've only tried one so far, the Onion Rice Mix, and it was very good. I'm giving some away, but keeping one of each to try for myself. Thanks, echo.
ive made the onion rice mix and its good , ive dried the peppers and used stre bought cumin and parsey for spanish rice good rices to have

I purchased a BullZ Audio BCAP 2.2 Farad Car Digital Power Capacitor #350408275011 from an Ebay store. I tested the capacitor when I received it to see that it was in fact a 2.2 Farad. It was only 0.1 Farad. I had to pay $10 return shipping to get a replacement. The second one was no better. The Ebay store refunded my money and said keep the bad part. I believe ALL of the BullZ Audio capacitors are junk. I have worked in the field of electronics for several decades. It would be very easy to make junk and sell it to the kids that use them in their car stereo systems. I doubt if anyone else tests them. I needed to know the value because I was going to use it for an electronic project. If you have one test it. If you don't have one don't buy one.

Negotiating on the Edge: North Korean Negotiating Behavior / Edition 1by Scott Snyder
Pub. Date: 11/28/1999
Publisher: United States Institute of Peace Press (USIP Press)
The ordeal of negotiating with North Koreans during the Cold War has left the impression of a "crazy" and "bizarre" diplomacy, of negotiators who insult and provoke their Western counterparts while fabricating crises and fomenting discord. As Negotiating on the Edge reveals, however, there is not only a method to this "madness" but also an ongoing shift toward a less provocative negotiating style.
Drawing on interviews with an eminent cast of U.S. officials and marshalling extensive research on North Korea past and present, Scott Snyder traces the historical and cultural roots of North Korea's negotiating behavior and exposes the full range of tactics in its diplomatic arsenal. He explains why North Koreans behave as they do, and he argues that there is, in fact, an internal logic to what often seems to be outrageous conduct.
Finally, Snyder explores how economic desperation and the end of the Cold War have forced North Korea to modify its negotiating style and objectives. Focusing on the U.S. negotiating experience with North Korea in the 1990s, Snyder also deals comparatively with recent South Korean and multilateral attempts to engage Pyongyang.

Police believe missing Iowa girls still alive
Search expanding beyond Iowa
Investigators say they have evidence that leads them to believe two Iowa cousins who vanished last week are still alive.
FBI spokeswoman Sandy Breault said Saturday that authorities strongly believe 10-year-old Lyric Cook-Morrissey and 8-year-old Elizabeth Collins have not been killed.
She refused to say what led authorities to that conclusion, but told reporters that investigators are expanding their search beyond Iowa.
The announcement came a day after authorities said they believe the girls were abducted.
The girls vanished July 13 while riding their bikes near Meyers Lake in the northeast Iowa town of Evansdale. Their bikes were later found on a path near the lake.
Breault says investigators are interviewing �persons of interest� in the case, whom she declined to identify.

I am interested in finding if producer-consumer problem when there are multiple produce and multiple consumer be solved without using assignment i.e., using functional style of programming? How?
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
I am interested in finding if producer-consumer problem when there are multiple produce and multiple consumer be solved without using assignment i.e., using functional style of programming? How?
Yes, you can do it quite nicely with message passing in Concurrent ML. Don't be put off by the age of the system; John Reppy's book and papers are excellent guides to the topic. Beautiful stuff!
Having multiple threads necessarily requires impure (non-functional) actions. Pure functional programming considers your application to be the evaluation of a function. The concept of concurrently evaluating two things and passing data between them is not meaningful within this framework.
Although one can evaluate multiple parts of a function in parallel, as in Haskell's
Yes. Check out functional reactive programming (FRP), which is related to Concurrent ML (Norman's suggestion) but is purely functional. The semantics of FRP is highly "concurrent" while having a simple, precise, deterministic, functional semantic model (functions of time).
Edit: I quoted "concurrent" here, because I do not mean the usual operational (implementation-oriented) notion of concurrency, which is imperative and non-deterministic, thus impeding practical & dependably correct reasoning.
All of the implementations I've seen of producer-consumer in SML were forced to rely on
There are many way to solve this; each has different drawbacks.
For example, the "put" could spawn a new thread each time. That way, you wouldn't need a buffer at all. If lots of requests come in, you spawn lots of threads until your CPU is more busy with switching between threads than actually executing them. But this just moves the problem from your code into the OS: At a certain point, you always have to synchronize access to a variable in memory. The OS must maintain a list of threads and access to this list must be synchronized.
Either you want to limit the number of threads (then a "put" must be able to read the variable while threads might terminate at the same time and decrement it -> again synchronized access). Or you risk running out of resources because you have too many threads.
You could post a message when "put" is called and the consumers could listen to the message. But that's only a complex way to implement "wait" for threads. And you need a way to make sure that only a single consumer gets the message. Again, you'll need some synchronized data structure.
So in the end, it's not really the assignment, which is the problem, but concurrent access to a single variable and no matter how you try, for any implementation of produce-consumer, you must be able to do this (or the whole will be single threaded).

Skip to comments.Miller Beer Ad Agency Has Connections To MoveOn.Org
Posted on 09/26/2007 11:26:45 AM PDT by toddlintown
Miller Beer has a connection to MoveOn.org: Most of MoveOns commercials are made by experienced operatives at a left-wing advertising firm in Santa Monica, California.
The firm of Zimmerman & Markman occupies a small suite of offices in a four-story building a few blocks from the beach. Bill Zimmerman, the agencys strategist, has a PhD in psychology and got his start in politics registering black voters in Mississippi in 1962. He worked with Jane Fonda on anti-Vietnam War mobilization and has played a role in drug decriminalization campaigns. Pacy Markman, the agencys copywriter, had a long career in commercial advertising (he wrote the indelible slogan Miller Lite: everything you always wanted in a beer, and less)...
(Excerpt) Read more at beerinfood.wordpress.com ...
First homos in San Fran, and now this.
Their beer sucks anyways!
Uh - it sounds like they just use the same advertising agency. So their ad agency has connections to moveon ... so what? I'm sure a few of the moveon wackos even drink Miller Beer ... and probably Coca Cola, too.
I don't see the problem here.
Miller Beer: Stall tapping good!
Good for you. This blogger worked quickly in getting the info about the Miller Ad agency out.
Apparently not as much as their constomers.
a beer copywriter ,, now that's a job for me. ;-)
I can't live without my Miller High Life though!!!
In all seriousness, that's the nastiest crap in the world.
Well, p!ss and sh!t do go together...
Craig: "I drink Miller, but I am not Gay!"
So what? This is as much of a stretch as the libscum saying Fred litigated for terrorists because his firm took the Lybian bombers as clients. Too remote to matter.
(Hint: Ad agencies have lots of clients. Some of them might even disagree about some stuff.)
Big time!
More Coors Light...unless they're bad guys too.
Same here, but more for the fact that their product is swill than anything else.
I stopped drinking Miller Beer in the 1970s. It tasted like nasty then.
How many other layers of connections should I sift through before I determine if a company is OK to do business with?
Should I boycott a company who once leased a space from a company that previously used an ad agency that employed a guy who voted democrat?
Zimmerman and Markman's client list is the who's who of leftist slim, go the their site and check out their client list.
Nope. They are women.
If Kurt Busch didn't have enough problems already.....
Bill Zimmerman, the agencys strategist... worked with Jane Fonda on anti-Vietnam War mobilization and has played a role in drug decriminalization campaigns...
bad juju for sure.. lol .. when it rains.. it pours.. that's racin' (well,, sort of)
I like my beer cold my TV loud and my homosexuals flaming. Homer Simpson.
That's really graphic when you follow it through to consumption. :)~
Maybe because you're kind of NEW here.....ANY ad agency or ANY company that does business with MOVEON.org is DIRTY.
Peroni Nastro Azzurro
Pilsner Urquell
I don't think Jack Daniels will be sponsoring any panty parties.
That is quite a (Collectivist) list.
One of the good things about the private sector, what is left of it, is that the owners of a business can decide what kind of clients they wish to represent. Ethical practitioners can draw the line on gambling, alcohold, all kinds of client categories. Same with the ads they produce -- the owners and management have control over what is proposed or sold to the client.
It's not just about the money, except for people with no ethics.
Very fine (albeit somewhat inconsistent) beer. Good info.
It fits their sissy beer image.
Miller Lite in the loafers.
If that is all there was to the connection, then agreed. Did you see the story about Miller supporting the Gay version of the Last Supper? I'm sure someone here can find that and provide a reference faster than I can, but I read it this morning on FR somewhere. The Miller Ad was at the bottom of the picture.
We have a winner!
Miller Beer also promotes the illegal immigration protests against Americans (Chicago, IL)
>> Maybe because youre kind of NEW here.....
No need to condescend, slick. I've been here since September of 1998 (under a different handle) ...
... which, if I'm not mistaken, is roughly SEVEN YEARS longer than you have. Generally speaking, I don't appreciate being talked down to, newbie.
>> ANY ad agency or ANY company that does business with MOVEON.org is DIRTY.
OK - no argument here. However, I certainly wouldn't make the leap that anyone that does business with an ad agency that does business with moveon is necessarily dirty. That seems like a HUGE logical leap. There is NO evidence that Miller was even aware that the agency did business with moveon ...
This connection is just too shaky to get into a tizzy about.
Markman, himself openly gay, said Equality for All is way ahead of the other political coalitions his firm has worked with in the past.
The company has experience winning LGBT initiative fights and other issues at the ballot box, from Pacy Markman's early efforts to defeat the homophobic Briggs initiative in 1978 to the firm's leadership on Proposition 215, which legalized medical marijuana in California in 1996.
Zimmerman & Markman is widely regarded in the progressive community for its highly creative political advertising
MoveOn accounts for roughly half the business of their seven-member company; the rest of their time is spent on various initiative campaigns. Their successes include passage ofOregon's physician-assisted suicide law, Arizona's campaign-finance overhaul and last year's California measure hiking taxes on those making more than $1 million to expand mental health programs and help the homeless. Their list of clients, past and present, reads like the pages of a left-wing telephone directory: the American Civil Liberties Union, Greenpeace, the Hollywood Women's Political Committee, People for the American Way. It seems that even the Democratic Party, with its fitful feints to the middle, is not entirely to their taste.
Zimmerman says. ''We're progressives who support the Democratic Party because it's the best vehicle for achieving the kind of political power that could get us to where we want to go.
Zimmerman has managed or been the lead media consultant in more than 75 ballot initiatives in 13 states. In 2003 and 2004, he served as campaign manager for the MoveOn.org Voter Fund, while Zimmerman & Markman created and produced most of the advertising the organization sponsored.
"Our firm has used highly emotional and memorable advertising to help pass some of the most controversial initiatives in the nation, including physician-assisted suicide twice in Oregon, medical marijuana in seven states, drug treatment instead of incarceration in California, state-funded political campaigns in Arizona, civil asset forfeiture reform in Oregon and Utah."
"Pacy Markman and I work only for clients we personally support. We're not rich, but we sleep well at night."
"That the political pendulum will soon swing back away from right-wing Republicans and religious charlatans.
>> I'm sure someone here can find that and provide a reference faster than I can, but I read it this morning on FR somewhere. The Miller Ad was at the bottom of the picture.
I read it - it certainly wasn't flattering to Miller. I do wonder if Miller knew of the content of the ad, or was just a sponsor of the event (i.e. perhaps they just provided beer sales to a bunch of gay freakos - certainly not a crime against Christianity - and unknowingly got their logo on a flier that they didn't necessarily approve of).
Either way, I think we'd be making a HUGE leap to assume that concurrent users of an advertising agency have any actual connection whatsoever.
"Miller also has some brands under its tent you may not be aware belong to them including:"
I'm a beer columnist, author, lecturer and consultant.
I'm very aware of the beer industry.
I don't drink the stuff, it's either Budd, the latest cheap stuff on sale, or home brewed beer.
But I'll never allow anyone to bring it on my property again.
Call it fag beer. The rumor will spread.
In defense of Miller, I think I have figured out why they want to market to homos. If you are a bar owner and run a straight bar your best nights are Friday and Saturday, maybe Sunday if you have a sporst following. If you run a gay bar, you never have a down day. Hanging in bars and hitting on each other is what gays do. They don't have families to take care of. It is the life of Peter Pan - they never grow up. From the bar owners and Miller's point of view gays are money. All that being said, Miller beer sucks (maybe why the queers like it). Sorry to hear they controll Pilsner Urquell, good beer.
Never again for me!
Miller's been overtly courting the homo market for years.
In a 1988 Wall Street Journal article, a Miller spokesman begged off on the idea of the brewery concentrating heavily on the gay market. Miller is now, however, open in its marketing to gays. In a sense, old Frederick Millers brewery has come out of the closet, but initially tripped over the threshold when it did. As recently as 1999, the brewery ran into problems with this approach.
There was little question what group of beer drinkers Miller was targeting with its ad featuring a shirtless muscle man. The spot was supposed to air on a cable program in San Francisco and feature a Barechest Men calendar for sale, the proceeds going to a local AIDS-funding group. The combination of Miller sponsoring a photo calendar of beefy hunks and indirectly raising funds for AIDS victims was too much for some straights in the San Francisco community. After loads of protests by conservative groups, the thirty-second ad was pulled. A Miller spokesman tried to lay the idea for the commercial at the feet of a local advertising agency and not at the door of the brewerys Milwaukee headquarters. The idea of courting gays while possibly disenfranchising the much larger market of straight beer drinkers made Miller back off from openly advertising gay-themed commercials and ads for the next few years, except in gay publications.
However, maybe in a reflection of political correctness (and an almost stagnant growth in beer sales), a Miller commercial from 2001 had two women sitting at a bar, obviously on the prowl for some man-meat. In the TV spot, one girl has the bartender send a beer over to a man sitting alone. As he starts to acknowledge the drink, the women spot a better looking man behind him and have the female bartender go back and grab the beer from the poor slob who was about to sip on the bottle. Sorry chief! she says as she pulls the bottle from his hand and passes it over to the girls newest interest. Seconds later, another hunk joins the single man who is enjoying his free beer. Jackpot! one of the girls says, but she almost falls off her stool when the two men hold hands. Well, one girl declares, at least hes not married.
The Coors family who owns Coors supports the 2nd Amendment: http://www.davekopel.com/2A/Mags/Key-Second-Amendment-Races-2004.htm (search for Coors). They are rock-solid on gun rights and most other conservative issues.
I thought FR didn't allow multiple nics...
That sounds like a pretty good market strategy but even gays don't like the clown gays at this "fair" according to stealth sources on FR who live in the area.
Well lets see, Miller supports gay orgy parades, they add their label to insults against Christians, support illegal aliens flooding across the border. I think the connection to Move-on is quite clear; The company is run by a leftist moonbat!.
It is interesting that they were the only "normal" company listed at the bottom of the ad. It doesn't matter too much to me anyway since I don't drink Miller anything. If they want to sell to the gay boys, fine, but I think there is more of a connection.
