I won't give an official rating here as I altered the recipe a fair bit BUT let me say this was an EXCELLENT drink. Instead of lime juice/sugar I used Lime Cordial and instead of Triple Sec I used Cointreau...... turned out wonderful!
Really enjoyed . . . used a tad more cranberry juice, other than that followed your recipe. Made for ZWT 5! Thanks Rita for sharing!
Wow! This was really, really good! DH, when he encountered the light pink color, said he could never imagine liking a cosmo. However, he admitted within the privacy of our home that this was really good! I'm keeping this recipe and will definitely make it again. Not too sweet, not too tart, just perfect. Very smooth. Thanks, Rita! Made for ZWT5.

I came up with this analogy to explain my problem with religion to my mother, people have a hard time getting angry and upset when your talking about cute little dogs.
I like some dogs, I dont own one but I can appreciate why people do. Some like to have them for security reasons, protect the house and family. Others feel its important to get one for their kids so they can learn to be gentle and responsible from feeding and walking the dog. I personally love it when you take the kids to the park and someones dog runs up unleashed to lick, paw, and terrify your children. When they come to get the dog of course they say its harmless, then since they feel the dog introduced itself they decide to stay and talk to you about it. Other people take it even further buying little purses and taking the dog everywhere with them, into stores and other peoples houses. They say it wouldnt be fair to leave the dog alone at home, and its for the dogs benefit, although said dog dressed in a hot pink sweater and hat in the matching pink purse looking more like an accessory than mans best friend might disagree. Probably the majority of us have encountered that friend or family member that brings the dog to the barbeque and lets it run around wild, poop everywhere and does nothing but extol on the benefits of having one and how much better his breed is than everyone elses. Basically forcing it on you and your family, so you leave the barbeque exhausted. Last but not least is the person who gets a dog, leashes it in the back yard ignores it for the most part except when its beneficial to them. Makes you wonder why they got one in the first place. As I said I like dogs, dont mind petting one now and again and I admit they are cute. Its hard not to walk by a pet store and fall for those big brown eyes. However I am not about to buy one and take it home. For those of you who do decide to adopt one, please keep it on a leash.

I don't understand why people say a whole bin of apples is bad just because one peice is rotten. It only takes one bad apple to make a whole group look bad. The people that can't look beyond the rotten apple and see that there is good in the bunch are simply prejudice.
Posted 05 March 2008 - 05:48 AM
false logic: if you only come across 'bad apples' (or if theyre the only ones screaming at you ), why would you have to always point out that there are 'good ones' as well when debating with them? should be a given in civilized conversation...

Roll Cloud over Canyon Texas 1-20131104
At about 7:30 in the morning on November 4, just as we were departing from our motel in Canyon, Texas for our drive to Albuquerque, this roll cloud suddenly appeared on the northern horizon, The sky was otherwise perfectly blue, and the cloud stretched as far as the eye could see to both the east and west horizon. It moved towards us remarkably fast, and passed directly over us, heading southward. As we drove westward along I-40 about 30 minutes later we could still see it all the way across the sky, eventually joining the southern horizon and disappearing. We noted no unusual wind or temperature change.
A roll cloud is a low, horizontal, tube-shaped, and relatively rare type of arcus cloud. They differ from shelf clouds by being completely detached from other cloud features. Roll clouds usually appear to be "rolling" about a horizontal axis. They are a solitary wave called a soliton, which is a wave that has a single crest and moves without changing speed or shape. One of the most famous frequent occurrences is the Morning Glory cloud in Queensland, Australia, [caused by] mesoscale circulation associated with sea breezes that develop over the Cape York Peninsula and the Gulf of Carpentaria. However, similar features can be created by downdrafts from thunderstorms and are not exclusively associated with coastal regions. Ref: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arcus_cloud

Berlusconi Seeks IMF Monitoring as Rebels Threaten Revamp
Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi requested international surveillance of his bid to cut the euro-region's second-biggest debt, as his fraying coalition threatens Italian efforts to erect a wall against Europe's debt crisis.
Berlusconi's government asked the International Monetary Fund to periodically assess its debt-reduction progress, while rejecting an offer for financial assistance from the Washington-based lender, he told a press conference today at the Group of 20 summit in Cannes, France.
"It hasn't been imposed, it was requested," Berlusconi said. The IMF will carry out quarterly "certifications" of the euro region's third-largest economy, he said, adding that the current sell-off of Italian debt is "a temporary trend" even as the nation's borrowing costs surged to a new euro-era record.
Berlusconi is coming under mounting pressure at home and abroad as Italy struggles to avoid succumbing to the sovereign-debt crisis. His efforts suffered a setback yesterday when at least two lawmakers defected to the opposition. As many as eight other members of his coalition have called for a change of government, threatening his majority in Parliament, Corriere della Sera reported today.
Record Yield
Italy's 10-year borrowing costs are nearing the 7 percent level that forced Greece, Ireland and Portugal to seek bailouts. The yield on the nation's benchmark 10-year bond surged to a euro-era record of 6.404 percent, the highest since the creation of the single currency, before falling to 6.358 percent as of 5:15 p.m. in Rome.
"If the current Greek tragedy is not to turn into an Italian tragedy, with far more serious and far-reaching consequences for the euro zone, Berlusconi must resign immediately," Marc Ostwald, a fixed-income strategist at Monument Securities Ltd. in London, said in an e-mail. The premier may end up "remembered as the architect of Italy's descent into an economic inferno."
Managing Director Christine Lagarde said that a monitoring team from the IMF will be in Italy before the end of the month. Speaking at a news conference in Cannes, she also said that the IMF didn't offer financing to Italy. Berlusconi had said Italy refused an offer because it "doesn't need those funds."
Bolstering Credibility
Italy invited the IMF to monitor implementation of its austerity measures in order to bolster their credibility, European Commission President Jose Barroso told reporters in Cannes after the G-20 summit. "Greece had a systemic effect, so it was important for Italy to show that they are really committed to implementing the agreements they made," he said.
Italy's "initiation to IMF" is "an example of the steady confidence-building measures that need to take place in order for us to get back on track," U.S. President Barack Obama told reporters in Cannes. "The market is feeling skittish right now" about Italy, he added.
The European Central Bank bought Italian government bonds today, according to two people familiar with the transactions, who declined to be identified as the deals are confidential. The Frankfurt-based ECB has been buying Italian and Spanish bonds since Aug. 8 in a bid to stem surging borrowing costs.
ECB Backstop
ECB President Mario Draghi said at a press conference in Frankfurt yesterday that the bond-purchase program is "temporary," adding that "it's in a sense pointless to think that sovereign-bond rates could be steadily brought down by outer, external intervention."
Draghi, a former Bank of Italy governor, said "the first and foremost responsibility with maintaining financial stability and orderly financial conditions lies with national economic policies." Italy has pledged about 100 billion euros ($137 billion) in austerity measures since July in a bid to reduce debt of 1.9 trillion euros, or about 120 percent of economic output, the second-biggest in the region after Greece.
Berlusconi, who reiterated that he won't step down, said it will be "almost obligatory" to hold a confidence vote in Parliament later this month on economic-growth and austerity measures promised to the European Union last week. The premier, 75, last faced a confidence vote on Oct. 14, when his government survived with 316 votes in the 630-seat Chamber of Deputies.
Test Vote
The next test of his majority will come when the lower house votes to rubberstamp the 2010 budget report early next week. The government lost the initial routine vote on the report last month, sparking calls for the premier to step down.
"Should the government fail to reach the majority, we expect President Napolitano to ask Berlusconi to step down and to start some consultations to form a technical government that would eventually speed up the reforms process that Italy is currently required to implement," Annalisa Piazza, an economist at Newedge Group in London, said by phone.
President Giorgio Napolitano this week urged the government to immediately implement the economic measures, which were pledged in a letter sent by Berlusconi to the EU. Napolitano has been consulting with opposition leaders this week in a bid to seek the broadest possible support for the overhaul, parts of which are opposed by the Northern League, Berlusconi's key coalition partner.
In a late-night meeting on Nov. 2, the Cabinet only agreed on a limited package of the measures to include as amendments in a spending bill to be voted on by Nov. 15. The moves include a plan to accelerate 60 billion euros in asset sales, liberalize closed professions and boost infrastructure investment, Il Sole 24 Ore newspaper reported.
Foreign Minister Franco Frattini, speaking in an interview today on Sky TG24, said the ruling majority can be broadened to other political forces. Berlusconi said rebel lawmakers will return to the fold because deserting the governing coalition is a "betrayal of the country," adding that he alone is capable of governing Italy at such a critical juncture.
"As I sat at the table of talks here at the G-20, I asked myself: Who else could represent Italy if I weren't here?"

A more elegant, (and cheaper) option is to simply buy a shorter front sight.
This will make the rifle shoot HIGHER and you can lower the rear sight down closer to the receiver.
The Skinner front sight looks nice, and you can cut it down.
The process is to adjust the rear sight down closer to the receiver, but leave a little lee-way.
Then file the new front sight down until it gets close to centering the target.
Once it's where you want it, clean up the sight to make sure the top is square and even, cold blue the filed area, then use the rear sight to do the final targeting.

Well I am in. Here is a picture of my daughters shooting for the first time. We are shooting my dad's 39A that he gave me and it was the first rifle I ever shot. This picture was taken a year ago when the girls were 3 and 5 years old and were already going dove and coyote hunting with me every chance I gave them.
I know we should have had eye and ear protection but were were shooting Colibris out of the rifle and there is no report that can harm their ears (I think).
What a joy to teach my girls on the same special rifle that I learned to shoot with.

Don't ever misplace that picture! Years from now you will treasure it, I promise. I wouldn't trade the photos of my two sons for anything. They are now 23 and 20 years old. Grown men, but their Daddy and Mama still think of them as babies. Norman Rockwell couldn't have made a better picture than you've got there.

Thanks, dfariswheel. I've actually tried the shortest front sight I could find, but I could look into that again.
I have to agree that what I described above wouldn't be very elegant... but I don't think I would mind, at least not much. If it was too ugly I would go ahead and remove the Williams base, I guess.

Looks like to me with MchgnMike's arrival at the club, we got three new member (two younger, admittedly, but just think of them as Annie Oakley's in the making ...)
Great photo, dude. Welcome.
D'wheel, I hope you're teaching a Gunsmith 101 class somewhere. Just a basic class on how to troubleshoot, modify, maintain {insert gun models here}. If not, you should be. You've got so much knowledge to offer ... thanks for sharing it here.
Sometimes, when I think of the collective amount of information about 39s hovering around this club, I shiver a bit (in a good way) and see a potential encyclopedia, a 39wiki, of sorts. Kinda like this one, but ... um, 25 - 30X more complete ...

Unless you bought the rifle new, you might want to check the front sight ramp.
These are sometimes changed by a previous owners for some reason.
In any event, you can also buy lower or higher ramps to help targeting.
THAT's what it's all about.
Most Dad's are out on the golf course or in some bar with their buddies.
Guess who's kids will have the best memories of the Old Man, and will think of him every time they pick up that Marlin?
I'm a retired Master watchmaker/gunsmith.
Now I pass on the knowledge here.
Yesterday, I took my restored 1950 Model 39-A to my buddies new backyard shooting range.
This is the first time I've shot it at 50 yards, and my eyes are now bad enough, I can't focus on the front sight.
I did well, but quickly fell apart with blurry eyes.
However, after getting sighted in at 50 yards, off the sand bags and before the eye problems got to me, I managed a 3 shot group that I covered with a dime.
Not bad for an old rifle that saw a lot of kids using it over the years.

Thanks again, dfariswheel. I bought the rifle new back in October and besides the Williams everything is stock. A lower ramp is an option I hadn't considered, I will explore that.
Also, I echo the sentiment that Nem gave above regarding your input on THR. Thanks for all your insight both in this club and throughout the board.

Thanks for the positive words on the girls.
My dad loves telling friends about his grand-daughters and that they go hunting with me. He really loves when they ask how many years till they start shooting? He laughs and tells them they have already started, a year ago.
People today cannot accept that guns and kids can be a good thing. I just have to keep reminding them.
I love shooting that rifle. I shoot turtles on the tanks, I shoot dragon flies, marshmallos floating down the river, rocks that I toss in the air, golf balls across the quary, and brass and shells left over from other guns.
I remember sitting on the bank of the Brazos river shooting marshmallows and ritz crackers. My buddy and I shot 3/4 of a full .30 caliber ammo can in an afternoon. That is mykind of shooting.

About as close as I've ever come to shooting things floating down the river is shooting writing spiders in the middle of their web from about 30 feet away. I hate those things! I guess if you've been shooting since you were knee-high to a grasshopper, shooting moving targets is second nature. My father, God rest his soul, would not allow my brother nor I to shoot anything, even a BB gun when we were growing up. I can do pretty good as long as the target is sitting still. If it is moving I need a shotgun to hit it, and then I'm not really all that good. Any pointers on how to get better with a moving target and a .22?

Yes, soot a lot and do not shoot at target too far away to the point you get discouraged. Also when throwing stuff in the air to shoot geography and back ground needs to be considered. I shoot in a gravel pit that has a hill/mountain background.
I try to shoot the target just as or just after it hits the apex of the throw. That is when the target's movement is consistant and it's slowest. Start with a large coffee can and toss it up about 6'-10' in the air. Since it is so big you can actually hit it and hear it hit. After you start hitting it multiple times per throw you can move to a smaller can and keep shooting smaller targets as you get better. This is how Ed McGivern shows you how to do it with revolver in his book "Fast and Fancy Revolver Shooting". This book is must read.
I use the sights but I have shot the gun so much it is natural. When I shoot rimfire it is a slow day when I only shoot a brick. Nothing can help to shoot arial targets more than just trigger time and plinking.

Thanks to dfariswheel, I now know that the Golden 39A I have on layaway was born in 1964. Hoping to pick it up soon and get it to the range for some good 'ol plinkin'. It will fit well with my Marlin 336CS 30-30 lever gun.

Some of my best days were spend shoot gars in a Mississippi River diversion channel.
These are huge ditch-like channels or rivers that are used to divert Mississippi River flood waters to other rivers.
These are as big a a normal river.
Gars are the Gar Fish also known as an "Alligator Gar". They're nasty looking things with a long toothed bill like a salt water saw fish.
The record size was 279 pounds, but most are around 3 feet or so.
There was a big decommissioned old bridge over this particular channel and me a my best bud spent summer days on the bridge shooting gars as they came up to the surface.
THIS was a real sport, since the gars don't stay up long and are the same nasty brown/green color the water is.
You had to shoot fast before they sounded again.
I used a Ruger 10/22, but my buddy had a Marlin 39-A he'd bought as his first gun, and he was deadly with it.
Where I tended to fire 2 or 3 shot bursts, he was quick enough to nail them with single shots.
He always used Outer's Graphite grease on the action.
After all these years of use and the supposed "honing action" of the graphite grease, his Marlin seems to operate itself it's so smooth.

Interesting to read tales of plinking from days past. Thanks to all for sharing those. More please.
I've got a few tales, also, but I'll offer those another day.
For now, a question:
I've already started looking for a supply. So far, I'm finding references to Outer's Graphite Grease, but no suppliers that are selling it by that name right now. Instead, I'm finding things like "GUNSLICK® LUBRICANT Vern Dale's original graphite-based lubricant still the best for keeping firearms working slick." Probably pretty much the same, but ...
I'm going to look around town for some.

The actual name of the stuff is "Gunslick Graphite Grease".
It comes in a tiny silver tube, or at least used to.
The instructions said to rub some on then wipe off the excess.
My buddy just applied a little and left it there.
He lubed the front face of the hammer, the entire bolt, except for the outside, the hammer notches and the tip of the trigger, the top of the lever where it contacts the bolt, and the "triangle" area of the bolt which operates the cartridge stop.
In other words, anywhere there's metal rubbing on metal.
This "honing" action doesn't happen quickly, it takes lots of use, but the Marlin gets smoother as you use it, grease or no grease.

Fantastic pic!
I am really envious. I have been in the sandbox all this year and have really been missing spending time with my little one.
I have full intentions of taking my daughter out and doing the same thing as shown in the photo. Cherish your time with them. Being away is miserable and makes me appreciate every hour I can spend with my little girl.
Again, Great Pic

39a Blues
Well the new extractor is in, and it appears to be working well, after I, came back from the shop, I, went in to the back yard and, ran about a dozen rounds of Remington throw it. Nice not having to take a cleaning rod and, knock out the fired case. As soon as I go to Wally World Ill try some of the Federal that my rifle started to have the trouble with. I would go to the range today but for some reason my mom would like to see me, so yet another week without going to the range. Thats ok I, only have two ARs that need there scope sighted and, a Glock 17 that hasnt been shot yet.
Honest officer this is my only log book.
The only use of a handgun is to get you from where you are, to where your rifle is.

NIB 39a With Scratches - Is there a quality issue with new Marlins?
Hi, I am new to THR and it was the posts regarding the 39 that got me here.
I have always wanted a lever action .22 since I was a kid and the time never seemed right to spend the money. Until now, that is.
I have priced ordering a new one locally and the local gun shops are looking to get about $450 to order one. I have been keeping an eye out on the auction forums for a good used one and have not come across one in good condition that makes buying used....sight unseen....worth the risk.
I live about 30 miles from a national outdoor retailer and was surprised to find they had two in stock, both NIB. OK so they wanted $10 more for theirs than the local gun stores will order one for, but I could take one home and that prompted me to take a ride to their store.
The guncounter salesman brought both boxes out from the back and I watched as he broke the initial inventory seal on one of the boxes so I suspect neither rifle had received much handling, if any.
I was disappointed to find minor handling scratches/nicks on the top of both receivers and one had beautiful wood, but the finish on the wood was blotched in several places. I picked the best one (non-blotched wood) and handed them my money. I was even more disappointed to find three to four scratches running down the length of the bottom of the barrel, from the front of forearm to about an inch from the muzzle when I was cleaning the gun after returning home with it. All of these scratches were through the bluing so it went right back to the store.
They were very helpful and pulled the other 39a out of the back and guess what; it had the same type of scratches on its barrel when we looked at it closely in good light. They gave me my money back and kept their 39a.
I had a similar experinece with another national sporting goods chain...didn't buy a rifle there though...where I inspected four different rifles (two Rugers and two Brownings) and all of the rifles had either scratches or blemishes in the bluing.
When I had my first experience, I chalked it up to them perhaps buying 'seconds' and decided I would not bother shopping there anymore, but when it happened with another national store, it gave me reason to reconsider my judgement.
Does anyone have a similar experience or am I the only one?
Is there a market for 'seconds' in the firearms industry where damaged goods are sold at a discount and left up to the retailer to determine whether to mark them as 'seconds' or is it considered standard practice to sell firearms as new even when they are far from perfect? I know I would be haggling with someone trying to sell a used firearm with these types of blemishes and don't feel I should bear the brunt of devaluation when the blemishes are the result of someone else's mishandling. Caveat Emptor clearly applies.
Are my standards too high to expect a 'perfect' rifle when it takes $450-$500 to take one of these .22s home or has the term new in box changed to include some very apparent handling scratches?
Thanks to all for considering my situation and for your comments.

Get the Skinny! This is just part of the article. Want the complete story, plus a host of other cutting-edge articles to make your job easier? Login or sign up!
It's that first moment when spring transforms into summer—the sky appears bluer and brighter than the days before, and the sun is more commanding and radiant, its warm rays wrapping blissfully around the skin. As the outdoors once again becomes a
playground filled with laughter and optimism, a new energy is felt, sparking a brighter look for the season. And as the warming days fade seamlessly into pleasant evenings, offering illustrious sunsets, it's clear that finally summer has begun.
In a different light
As lighting changes from winter's gray skies and fashion shifts to fewer layers, makeup calls for a fresh, new approach, as well. Tan complexions can appear ashy and mask-like with winter's foundation choices, and the deep, rich, opaque jewel tones of fall may appear painted and heavy in summer's bright light. So, when partnering colors with the lightweight materials of summer—from sheer linens and flowing summer silks to cotton poplin—there is a need for translucency and luminance to be reflected in makeup in order for the look to be properly balanced.
Protecting the skin and neutralizing the complexion is the first step to a great summer look. Whether using a tinted moisturizer or mineral foundation, the daily must-have of sunscreen should contain no lower than an SPF 15, which will help with daily, casual
protection. For extended outdoor activities, a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF 30 is one of the best ways to protect the skin.
In neutralizing skin tone, a foundation shade may be required with a touch more yellow pigment, especially if the effects of the sun have caused more redness to appear in the skin. Naturally, clients are recommended to shy away from baking in the sun for hours; however, many professional recommendations still go avoided in this regard, so the expression, "Fake it—don't bake it," definitely applies here. And this is also where a bronzer becomes an essential summer item, with its ability to help give the illusion of a tan or minimize ashy-ness when experiencing those in-between summer skin tones.
Working further with summer skin, it is possible that tan complexions can appear thick or lackluster if not cared for properly, so adapting to a new skin care program for the season is essential. And choosing the correct finish for foundation is key to complementing the look, as oilier skin types will naturally have more shine to their skin and feel more comfortable with a matte finish, whereas normal to dry skin types will benefit more from a natural radiant finish, which adds luminosity.
A ray of light
Traditionally, makeup for the eyes, cheeks and lips in warm spectrum shades of gold, peach and bronze pair well with a summer theme. Also, hues in the cool spectrum of blues, pinks and purples complement them as contrasting colors that create a more dramatic look against tan skin.
All skin tones naturally contain yellow, orange, red and blue pigments, and therefore, combining warm and cool tones can look balanced. However, it can be tricky at times to apply and wear the contrasting hues if the colors are not paired correctly. Complementary shades can neutralize each other and lose their purpose, so remember these color rules: Green neutralizes red, yellow cancels pink, and blue mutes orange.
Mixing warms and cools
In combining these summer-friendly hues in makeup, there are a few focus points. For a radiant summer look in the eyes, keep the base and eye contour shadows in the same spectrum—peach and bronze, for example. Then accent the eyelids or apply an expressive eye liner in a color from the opposite spectrum, such as blue or purple.
To give a healthy glow to the cheeks, use bronzer around the frame of the face to bring warmth, and dip into a hue in the cool spectrum to add dimension to the apples of the cheeks, using perhaps a pink or plum shade.
Lips can get the perfect summer touch by pairing a warm tone lip color for the base shade with a cool tone for the top coat. Sheer gloss can be used to balance, as well, tying the look together.
Summer shades
The following two makeup plans detail a sweet, summer-inspired look to wear when the weather gets warmer. The Summer Radiance look provides full-on makeup options, creating a complete summer makeup plan that is great for work, a night on the town or any other special occasion. The Summer Lite look takes just the essential summer makeup highlights and mixes them with the shades of the season for a plan that is fresh, quick and easy.
Summer Radiance. This look pairs summer's warm and cool tones for a refreshing, joyful face.
1. Press a matte peach shadow under the eyebrow as a base shade using an eye shadow brush.
2. Glide a medium golden brown shadow over the eye contour area, using an angled eye shadow brush to create dimension.
3. For a wash of color, press a shimmering,
soft pink shadow across the eyelid using an eye shadow brush, then blend the color over all the shadows with a soft blending brush, diffusing where the shadows begin, meet and end.
4. Line along the top lash line with the medium golden brown shadow for a soft summer look. Softly smudge the shade along the bottom lash line using a small eye liner brush, and then finish with mascara.
5. Use an angled blush brush to glide a golden bronzer along the cheekbones and temples to bring warmth to the complexion.
6. Smile and apply a medium pink blush on the apples of the cheeks using an angled blush brush, creating a soft touch of color.
7. Stain lips with a soft, tawny-colored lipstick, and define them with a coordinating lip definer. Follow that with a sheer, shimmering pink gloss for added radiance.
Summer Lite. Follow these step to create the perfect quick summer makeup look.

Fall 2016 textbook list
The Fall 2016 ECE textbook list is available online for students.
Current Prerequisites & Course Offering
For current prerequisites for a particular course, and to view course offerings for a particular semester, see the Virginia Tech Course Timetables.
ECE 4550 Real-Time Systems (3C)
Theory, algorithmic and protocol concepts, mechanisms, and implementations of real-time computer systems. Introduction to real-time systems, real-time scheduling, real-time synchronization, real-time operating system kernels, and real-time programming languages. Design and analysis of real-time resource management algorithms (e.g., scheduling, synchronization), their implementations in production operating system kernels, experimental studies of those implementations, and real-time application development.
What is the reason for this course?
Real-time computing is an important sub-discipline of computer engineering with significant applications in a number of domains including industrial automation (process control and discrete manufacturing), defense, avionics, and telecommunications. A solid foundation in real-time computing is highly useful for a computer engineer, especially for those focusing on embedded systems, as many (but not all) embedded systems are time-critical. Courses in embedded systems usually cover basic concepts of real-time computing, but not with the depth that is envisioned in this course. Another benefit of the course is the exposure to operating system kernel internals. Since the course has a systems focus with a particular emphasis on PREEMPT_RT, students will learn how to program the Linux kernel, debug kernel code, implement new, or modify existing kernel subsystems, especially the scheduling subsystem, how to performance-optimize kernel subsystems by exploiting various time/space tradeoffs, and will build experience in working with a large-scale open-source project. Besides learning how to write real-time OS kernel modules, this skillset is highly desirable for writing software for embedded, general-purpose OS, and virtualization environments.
Design Technical Elective for CPE; Technical Elective for EE. Typically offered: Spring. Program Area: Computers.
Prerequisites: C- or better in 4534 or CS 3214.
Why are these prerequisites or corequisites required?
Knowledge of concurrency, in particular, understanding of concurrency abstractions (e.g., threads, processes) their synchronization techniques (e.g., mutual exclusion locks), and mechanisms to cope with deadlocks. This material is covered in the course prerequisite of 4534 or CS 3214.
Department Syllabus Information:Major Measurable Learning Objectives:
- Describe real-time systems and how real-time resource management algorithms and mechanisms (e.g., scheduling, synchronization) enable satisfaction of application timing constraints.
- Conduct real-time schedulability analysis.
- Design, analyze, and implement real-time scheduling algorithms and real-time synchronization protocols in operating system kernels.
- Write, modify, and debug operating system kernel subsystems including the scheduling subsystem.
|Course Topics
|1. Introduction to real-time systems
|2. Real-time scheduling: uniprocessor scheduling
|3. Real-time scheduling: multiprocessor/multicore scheduling
|4. Real-time synchronization: uniprocessor protocols
|5. Real-time synchronization: multiprocessor/multicore protcols
|6. Time/utility function real-time resource management
|7. Real-time operating system kernel design
|8. Real-time programming languages

Hey, I'm Esther!
Charlotte, North Carolina, United States · Member since December 2011
It feels awkward to talk about myself, but I can talk about what I like. One of my favorite things is to connect with others through creating something together. It can be as simple as a meal or photograph. It can also be a trip, event, project or play. You get the idea. I love meeting new people and experiencing new places. Learning and exploring make life interesting. I like to explore visual media and how things work, including society. Maybe all these things are why design is compelling for me.

Is progress being made in bridging the gap between the contracting community and the program community? Is the Office of Management and Budget's Mythbusters campaign having an impact on the government's communications with industry? To explore those and other questions related to the federal acquisition workforce, the Procurement Round Table, a nonprofit organization of former senior leaders in federal acquisition, convened an informal discussion with executives from multiple agencies. In a previous column, we reported on challenges in the work environment. Here, we want to share some of the comments about the relationships between contracting officers and the program managers they support and between government and industry.
The people sitting at the intersection of the contracting world and the program world are the contracting officer's representatives (CORs). They have the critical role of serving as liaison between contracting officers and contractors, which is central to good contract management.
However, the consensus among senior acquisition professionals was that not much progress has been made in elevating the importance of the COR's role, or in ensuring that individuals who take it on are well trained. As one executive said, "People become CORs because somebody has to do it. No one is hired to be a COR. It is considered a collateral duty and [treated as] a nuisance."
Just as troubling were the communication gaps we heard about. One participant said: "There is not enough communication between the COR and the [contracting officer]. CORs do not view themselves as an integral part of the contract management portion of the contract." These problems have been exacerbated in wartime. Another executive noted: "In Iraq and Afghanistan, there were 170,000 contractors. CORs were tapped on the shoulder, took the two-week course online and then were 'experts.'"
Industry loves the Mythbusters campaign, but there is a very real question about how much the government side is changing its behavior.
By failing to train CORs and recognize the importance of their work, government and industry run the risk of not being appropriately aligned to achieve mission outcomes. Furthermore, errors can occur in basic contract management functions.
Demonstrating that change can happen, one agency executive reported on progress in improving communication between contracting personnel and the program offices they serve, which occurred as a result of dedicated leadership from acquisition executives and strong support from other senior agency officials. However, the overall picture was one of only marginal improvement in that area.
Regarding communication between government and industry, the picture was no better. The purpose of OMB's Mythbusters campaign is to help government officials understand that the rules do not prohibit meaningful communication with industry and that programs will have better outcomes if all parties communicate early and often. But when we asked if the campaign was making a difference, we heard skepticism.
"Industry loves the Mythbusters campaign, but there is a very real question about how much the government side is changing its behavior." Virtually all the participants in our discussion indicated approval of the message but made it clear that only limited progress has been made.
One executive voiced the concern that the threat of intense oversight could cause government employees to avoid communication with industry. Another person said adding language to the Federal Acquisition Regulation could help integrate Mythbusters into the daily procurement process. However, the risk/reward equation does not appear to have tilted enough to encourage federal acquisition employees to increase their communication with industry.
In sum, although some progress has been made, much work remains if we are to change the culture of communication both within the government and between the government and industry.

What contracting officer representatives really think is needed to fix contract management.
This just shows the failures if procurement leadership at setting the direction for changing their respective organizations. In these times of austere budgets, the need to reduce contracts, and really find innovative ways to save money without sacrificing quality or performance, communications between industry and government are needed now more than ever. Discussions between government and industry should focus on realistic and affordable requirements as early in the procurement process as necessary, but that message is being thwarted by government legal counsel who claim it is unethical or improper, and institutional resistance to change and risk aversion. I often integrate the "MythBusters" campaign and lessons into the acquisition and program management students I teach, but the blank stares or the "we can't do that" comments are discouraging to say the least.

Patient Comments: Peptic Ulcer - Causes
In your opinion, what was the cause of a peptic ulcer in you, a friend, or relative?
Comment from: PEACHES, 65-74 Female (Patient) Published: March 25
I had been taking one or two ibuprofen every night at bedtime for a year. I never read labels. This is what the doctors say caused my bleeding ulcers but some of my family members had kept me in a hysterical state of upset and anger all that time.
Comment from: chelsea b., 45-54 Male (Patient) Published: January 16
The cause of my peptic ulcers was due to my use of aspirin.
Comment from: fires11, 55-64 Female (Patient) Published: May 29
I have had to take aspirin on a regular basis. After trying many different meds for headaches, the aspirin is the only thing that helped. Unfortunately, I have developed duodenal ulcers with nausea and abdominal pain.

Jurors in the Isaac Turnbaugh murder trial heard from Turnbaugh on videotape Tuesday.
On the tape, Turnbaugh denied killing Declan Lyons, saying he considered Lyons a "really good buddy."
Turnbaugh is charged with shooting Lyons outside the Waitsfield Pizza Restaurant, where they both worked, two years ago.
Turnbaugh's friends have testified he told them he shot Lyons, but defense attorneys say Turnbaugh is mentally ill and made a false confession.

While Jim Dolan spends much of his time running Cablevision as CEO, he is also chairman of Madison Square Garden, a separate public company which owns the New York Knicks, the New York Rangers, Radio City Music Hall and MSG Network, one of the industry's most expensive regional sports networks. The conflicts Dolan faces in running both companies were spotlighted on Cablevision's fourth-quarter earnings call.
Mediacom Broadband increased its average monthly revenue per video subscriber by $14.27 in 2012, according to parent Mediacom Communications Corp.

Cablevision lost 50,000 video, 10,000 voice and 5,000 high-speed Internet subscribers in the fourth quarter, with the MSO blaming the subscriber losses and a 44 percent drop in cash flow on the impact of Hurricane Sandy.
Shares in AMC Networks dropped more than 12 percent Tuesday morning after it posted $15 million in net income for the fourth quarter, down $14 million compared to this time last year.
As Charter Communications prepares to convert its cable systems to an all-digital platform, the nation's fourth largest MSO may be thinking about switching to a new brand for its digital cable product, along the lines of Cablevision's Optimum or Comcast's Xfinity TV brands.

Making these for the second time right now. They're super yummy! Made them with less berries per the comments and they turn out awesome. Just sweet enough but substantial and fiber-rific!
Mine made about 20 muffins and they burned on the bottom. They did taste great, i'd make them again just lower the heat.
It called for too much blueberries. I also used used anise extract to add a little extra taste. They turned out good. Next time less blueberries, probably half.
These were VERY tasty! I was looking for something somewhat more healthy for an on the go breakfast! I used frozen blueberries which made the color funky, but did not effect the taste, and only 1 cup...I cannot imagine using the whole amount...way too much I would imagine. I also used the almond extract. I was afraid the 1T baking powder was a typo, but the batter filled the muffin cups nearly to the top for 12 and they did NOT ooze all over so that pleased me VERY much. The texture is wonderful! I will be making these again!
These are delicious, but we found that they're just too full of blueberries even for my blueberry-loving family. I weighed my berries and used 12 oz. like called for and I think next time I will halve the amount.
Awesome muffins. We added some mashed banana the second time and they were very good both ways. Yummy!
Loved these muffins. The kids will eat anything with blueberries & the bran will add a little fiber to their diets. Thanks.
EXCELLENT muffins! I made these last night, at one and froze the rest for breakfasts and lunches this fall. Used mostly whole wheat flour and I also replaced the margarine with applesauce. Turned out graet!!

The EPA has revealed all-new fuel-economy labels designed to help car and truck buyers determine new vehicle efficiency and operating costs in a world of burgeoning propulsion choices.The redesigned labels are expected to provide the public with information on fuel economy, energy use, fuel costs and pollution. They are roughly split into three design groups to help buyers compare energy use and cost between conventional fossil-fuel-powered and new-technology vehicles that use electricity and clean fuels. The three groups are:
Major design elements of each label include:
Automakers may voluntarily adopt new fuel-economy labels for 2012-model-year vehicles. Starting with 2013 model year, the labels will be required.
Diesel vehicle
E85 ethanol label that compares E85 driving range to using gasoline
Compressed natural gas vehicle like the GMC Savana van with fuel economy displayed in MPGe
Parallel (blended) plug-in hybrid vehicle like the Toyota Prius Plug-in or PHEV Ram 1500
Series (range-extending) plug-in hybrid like the Chevrolet Volt
Full electric vehicle like the Nissan Leaf
Hydrogen fuel-cell vehicle like the Honda FCX Clarity

I am hoping to use this theme http://www.kriesi.at/themes/enfold/portfolio/portfolio-2-column/
and in it use the NEXTGEN simple slideshow. My client has 350 images displayed via a simple slideshow on her old site that she wants to transfer to her new site.
My questions:
1) does the slideshow have a preloadeder that can be tuned off?
2) the idea is to -bulk- place all the images in one folder and just randomly let it run, is that possible with this gallery?
3) will it work in any well coded theme using the short code?
Thanks you in advance for your reply,

I had tendonitis quite a few years ago in my left foot and Saturday morning as I was running home from a 5 mile run (I had just done 4.5 the night before....I know I should have waited longer) I started getting some discomfort starting from my little pinky toe, down the outside of my right foot up into my ankle. It wasn't so bad that I had to stop, but luckily I was less than a 1/2 mile away from home. It immediately reminded me of the feeling I had years ago with tendonitis in my left foot. I've not made any change in my running routine, other than starting speedwork 1 day a week a few weeks ago. I'm thinking maybe my shoes are breaking down and that's what caused it? I did the math and I think my shoes have around 270 miles on them already even though I only bought them in May this year. I really didn't want to buy new shoes this late in the running season (I'm being cheap) but I don't want to further injure myself. I wanted to do a 5k in about a week....how many days do I realistially need to take off? I did run 3 miles last night just to test it out.....it was a little tight while I was running, but not so bad that I needed to stop or anything; just achy during the evening (but my dear hubby gave it a foot massage which helped!

Ask regular commuters in Amarillo about the worst Interstate 40 and Interstate 27 on-ramps in town, and the answers are all over the map.
Conversations with commuters, Amarillo Texas Department of Transportation engineers and Amarillo Police Sgt. Randy TenBrink resulted in a check of crashes at seven intersections from 2002 to 2006.
How we chose them
Texas Department of Transportation engineers expressed concerns about the Interstate 40 ramps between Paramount/Julian and Wolflin to the west and Georgia to the east because of their "braided" design.
Drivers entering eastbound I-40 from Paramount/Julian or Wolflin are routed high in the air, over the eastbound exit ramp to Georgia, and encounter tight merge space once they reach I-40 traffic lanes.
The same on-ramp immediately came to TenBrink's mind as a trouble spot.
On the opposite side of the highway, drivers entering westbound I-40 from Georgia are quickly dumped into traffic via a short curvy on-ramp threaded through the overpass-style westbound exit ramp to Paramount/Julian.
TxDOT has been eyeing the configuration of some of the Interstate 27 ramps selected, due to increased traffic on the highway and its layout.
I-27's angled swath across Georgia and Southwest 45th, for example, resulted in short on- and off-ramps between intersections considerably less than a mile apart, TxDOT Planner David Miller said.
What we found
For this investigation, the Globe-News focused on crash figures from 2005 at the seven I-40 and I-27 on-ramps surveyed. I-40 construction in 2006 could have influenced increased crashes at those ramps, resulting in a twofold increase over 2005 in total wrecks at the seven ramps.
Fifty crashes occurred at the seven entrance ramps in 2006, compared with 24 at those ramps in 2005, 33 in 2004, 12 in 2003, and 16 in 2002.
More than 90 percent of the on-ramp wrecks in the five-year period were rear-enders, with the remainder either sideswipes or head-on crashes into fixed objects, such as guardrails.
Alcohol played a role in just four of the crashes overall - all in 2006.
Ten crashes in the five-year span involved on-ramp drivers traveling at excessive speeds.

Q2612A Toner Ink Cartridge in North York Toronto Canada
Q2612A Toner Ink Cartridge in North York Toronto Canada
Among the various Q2612A brands, you will find that Canon Q2612A Printer Ink Cartridges are quite reasonable in term of price. The costlier printer ink cartridges would be the ones used to perform specialist tasks like printing pictures of photographic quality. For such kinds of work, in order to obtain work of the best quality, you must use the paper corresponding to the same value. The quality of the printing is superb, although to be clear, when you look at the top brands, the quality is virtually the same although pricing will vary quite a bit from one brand to the next.
In order to buy Canon Q2612A printer ink cartridges, all you need to do is paying a visit to stores like Precision Toner and Trigger Express dealing with computer supplies, office supplies, and, not to forget, online stores. At certain places of such types, you would be noticing that buying such Q2612A printer ink cartridges at discounted rates is possible. For finding such buys of great values, you need to visit the stores on the days when every sale is known to have found.
History of Canon
Canon began in the form of a company comprising of a few employees. Everyone had a burning passion of taking the company ahead. This company soon came to be known as a reputable camera-maker. It is, at present, an international multimedia corporation. The origins of its successes, however, have remained unchanged: passion of the early years as well as technological expertise accumulated for sixty years. Canon continues to utilize its technologies for benefiting people as its main objective is that of turning out to be a company which is adored by people all through the world.
Starting from cameras, Canon has moved on to manufacture business machines, printers, ink cartridges, toners, mask liner, copying machine, floppy disk drive, Japanese-language word processor, CVC video system, and many more.
First, you need to purchase these types of Q2612A printer Ink cartridges corresponding to the version of printer had by you. The easiest way of seeing the kind of Canon Printer Ink cartridges required by you is that of looking for your printer's model number.
Instruction manual pertaining to canon Q2612A Printer ink Cartridge can also be looked in to. From sources like these you would be able of finding the appropriate printer number corresponding to the replacement cartridge. After having found the correct kind of Canon Printer Ink cartridges, pay attention to their prices. If you happen to buy a number of Ink Cartridges at the same time, you might end up paying less, i.e. every cartridge would cost a bit less if bought along with other cartridges.
It is our experience that spending sometime online to look for discounted prices as well as remanufactured Q2612A cartridges can save you sizeable money i.e. in our office buying remanufactured brands in bulk (10 cartridges) came back to the same price as buying 4 manufacturers brands and the shipping was free.
