"FRANCE" France by pedroswift
France Travel Guide: 60,468 reviews and 167,813 photos
photo above: Pont Canal Briare - Eiffel involved in design
France is the Number One tourist destination in the world.
75 million plus visitors can?t be wrong?
As an inhabitant of the New World, I find France so fascinating. I?m drawn back every other year to get another taste of the enigma of France and the French.
Enigma? .......Enigma = something that baffles understanding.
When in France, I?m constantly bombarded by questions.
I visit the Dordogne & note the farmer next door heading out into the fields with a shovel each morning at the same time. Stupidly, I ask, ?Is he truffle hunting?? No. He does not have internal plumbing in his house. There is no toilet. His mission is very basic. This... In a country that produces the Airbus!?
Napoleon, son of an obscure Italian speaking official in Corsica becomes Emperor of France (& a lot more). How can this happen?
Anyway, I?m hooked and am constantly thinking about my next visit.
Where to go next? What aspects to research? The natural beauty, the turbulent history, the culture.
The photo above is taken on the approaches to the canal crossing the Loire River at Briare. For a Primer on Canal Cruising in France.see my Bourgogne Page.
One thing I try to do in preparation for my holidays is to immerse myself in France and the French before I leave home.
We check the weather in Paris on a daily basis. (other places as well). Celebrate the French National Days. Bastille Day especially. Each July, we avidly watch the TV coverage of the Tour de France for glimpses of the countryside.
Language: Out comes the French Course for Beginners. Learn some French - tip#251!!!
TV programmes. SBS our ethnic channel often has French orientated stuff like Rick Stein's Midi Barge Trip & French Regional cooking on Global Village etc
Movies: Off to the video shop to get some French Movies
Reading: My Reading List
French History Link
Always on the look out for new books on France or French Canal Cruising seeing we do go boating in France .
Eating: We dine out at local French Restaurants.
Out come my French Cook Books to make some typical dishes and my Patricia Wells ?Food Lovers Guide? books get thumbed some more.
Can you read a French Carte(menu)?? Link to printable Glossary of French/English Food Terminology
Drinking: More wines of France get drunk. If Wine tastings of French or French styles are held locally, we go.
Music: Bizet, Ravel etal get played more often while dining. French Radio stations play in background while at computer or Madeleine Peyroux is playing in the car. I now have four albums thanks to GuyExParis's recommendation. Check out Paul's France pages....top stuff.
Best piece of advice on France picked up via VT.
Beausoleil's recommendation that I get a copy of Ina Caro's: "The Road from the Past: Traveling Through History in France".
It's a must for anyone visiting chateaux in France.
Caro's book concentrates on five regions of France: Provence, Languedoc, The Dordogne, The Loire Valley and The Ile-de-France. Improve your understanding of the history of France and the influences dictating the choice of building styles in a book that is far from being a musty tome on history. It has contemporary references, personal anecdotes of touristy experiences as well as well researched historical stuff. I purchased our copy from a book store in Texas via the web and I've read it through once and refer to it often as well. My wife has read it from cover to cover twice before we revisited the Loire in 2008 and says she is very glad that she did so.
We also have Ina Caro's "Paris to the Past....Travelling through French History by Train" - 25 day trips from Paris to THE places of Historical significance.
Check the Reading List in travelogue below for more.
Doing Road Trips in France? Check out Mandatory Equipment to be carried in the car while driving in France. in transport tips below.
Driving in France for those used to right-hand drive vehicles & driving on the left plus road map advice and Parking info in "Travelogues" located down the page. click "next" to find travelogues 6 , 7 & 8.
Internet Cafes (usually feature the word "Cyber" in their name or advertising: check for a list & bookmark
Tips: Hope I can keep my lowly contributions in this page generic. ie Logically post-able under title "France" rather than specific to a place listed under regional headings.
Think of France (other than Paris) and what do you think of?? What elements make the place different from boring suburbia at home?
For me the number one icon is the baguette. Even in the smallest of rural villages not big enough to support a boulangerie, baguettes are available via a bakers van. Since the Revolutionary puppeteers attributed the words "Let them eat cake" to Marie Antoinette, one can not get between a Frenchman and his bagette without getting the chop!

Hi Peter, thanks for adding that useful cycling tip. Several years ago in Paris I was given a reflective vest which I still wear every night when I'm on my bike. It says Tous � V�lo! on the back.
Good page though I am NOT a Francophile. Could never even think about eating horse ( I love horses and like to see mine alive- - in fact after reading about it I think it's time to become a vegetarian).
Bonjour Peter, I should put my tip about wine prices at "dangers & warnings" but as you know you can buy many wines at less than 5 ? but not in Beaune! I liked your local customs tips. Very well observed.
Love your opening pic Peter!! And very interesting tips. I saved your lingo one :o) Didn't know about the horse burgers though....amazing what you learn here on vt :o) Cheers, Ann.
Great to meet an Francophile:-)I go every year. I feel at home there.Perhaps I was French in another life?? D. p.s. I collect photos of 'hand' door knockers and street water hydrants!
A great page! I have to look for plastic buckets next time I'm in a Cora. So far I've bought lots of things in France, but no plastic buckets. Mostly it's food, of course.
If you want to visit all the 'Cheval Blanc' you'd better consider to stay here for several years - there must be indeed one in each village (i know one with TWO of them)

PatterNodes is a tool for creating graphical patterns, animations, gradients, or illustrations based on repetitions. This is done by defining a sequence of steps, a recipe of sorts, that describes the pattern. Each pattern element or operation is represented by a little panel called a node, and the nodes are then linked by connections drawn between them. As the nodes can be freely combined and connected, this gives you a very flexible and powerful interface.
While this interface requires a different way of thinking, it also offers a lot of benefits compared to traditional Illustrator-type editors. Most importantly

- Greatly improved memory management
- Fixes some more bugs with scaling in graphics previews

Constitution Day Materials in the Monroe Library
Constitution Day: A Digital Exhibit
Constitution Day 2015
Image from The National Archives
Constitution Day commemorates the formation and signing of the U.S. Constitution by thirty-nine brave men on September 17, 1787, and recognizes all who are born in the U.S. or who by naturalization have become citizens.
From the Library of Congress Constitution Day website:
The members of the Constitutional Convention signed the United States Constitution on September 17, 1787 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The Constitutional Convention convened in response to dissatisfaction with the Articles of Confederation and the need for a strong centralized government. After four months of secret debate and many compromises, the proposed Constitution was submitted to the states for approval. Although the vote was close in some states, the Constitution was eventually ratified and the new Federal government came into existence in 1789. The Constitution established the U.S. government as it exists today.

Quickshots – Minecraft sky dimension confirmed
A future update will bring a "sky dimension" to Minecraft, joining Hell and, you know, the one you normally walk around in.
Notch tweeted a series of images of an experimental "sky dimension" for Minecraft yesterday.
It seems he was just messing about, but after the images drew attention from PC Gamer among others, the developer confirmed the addition.
"And because PC Gamer made such a big deal of the sky dimension, I guess I'll have to finish it. Consider it confirmed," he said.
Thanks, That VideoGame Blog.

An Assessment of Livestock Production Potential in Pakistan: Implications for Livestock Sector Policy
About two third of the farming community in Pakistan consists of small farmers who are characterised by small land holdings (less than 5 hectares) and by several factors that influence their productive potential and income generating capacity [Pakistan (1998)]. Livestock farming is an integral part of rural smallholders and has a vast untapped potential for productivity increase and income generation. Livestock holdings by the small farmers constitute a significant portion of the farm incomes. Small farmers and landless livestock producers derive around 10–25 percent of their incomes from this sub-sector.1 There have been and, largely, still are two primary purposes of raising livestock: (1) to meet the dietary needs of the rural and urban populace for milk and meat consumption; and (2) to fullfil the work performance requirements of the farm. Large ruminants receive more attention because of their capacity to perform both of the above functions. About 50 percent of the red meat supply in the country comes from large ruminants, yet beef production is not considered a separate specialised production activity. Rather it is treated as a by-product from animals kept for dairying and draught purposes. Most breeds of the large ruminants in Pakistan are famous for either milk production or draught power with hardly any beef breed. Therefore, the entire livestock production system revolves around milk production activity. Livestock raising is closely integrated with crop production system partly because fodder production is a part of the crop rotation cycle and also because crop by-products and wastes are utilised by the livestock sector. In other words, all ruminant production systems depend heavily on crop residues, fodder grown on the farm and/or rangelands, wastelands and fallow lands.

Liverpool ace Philippe Coutinho is rapidly proving to be one of the signings of the season, with a string of impressive performances under his belt since arriving from Inter in January.
And the emergence of a video starring the Brazilian holds a clue as to where his silky footwork come from.
The 20-year-old honed his skills on the futsal courts back in his homeland, taking up the fast-paced mini-balled game as a six-year-old and playing it until the age of 11 before he moved onto the pitch.
Take a look for yourself as a young Coutinho shows off his flair in the video.

All disasters are bad. I agree with TRL's view we sometimes overlook the less-favored parts of the world, especially if they're not historically, culturally, or economically linked to our own home country. So I can understand why someone might get the impression Japan got a bloated amount of attention after their disaster. For instance, I recall hearing next to nothing about Cyclone Nargis when it hit in 2008, despite it being one of the deadliest cyclones recorded (same can be said of Sichuan and Kashmir quakes).
I can also understand why pointing this out might ruffle Enzo and Mystique's feathers a bit. Certainly, any place in need deserves our help and attention and we shouldn't scoff at others attempts to help, however minor. It's an undeniable point, however, regardless which side of the fence you're standing on, that well-off countries like Japan and the US (9/11, Katrina) get perhaps an undeserved degree of attention compared to less-fortunate sectors of the globe. That doesn't mean we should lessen our attempts to help places like Japan, on the contrary we could always do more. What it does say, to me, though, is we really need to be a bit more egalitarian in our efforts to help nations following disaster. That much, I think anyone can agree on.

You tend to help the people you feel more connected to - that's just basic human behavior. Giving someone a hard time for helping people they have more connection to? I'm not really following the point and its a bit hard not to think there's just a bit of grouchy balloon-bursting going on here
I have to say.... as an engineer I think nuclear power is a tech that *could* work but that it will *never* work because the thing is run by people either too incompetent or too greedy to do it right. They certainly don't do their cost-benefit and risk assessment analyses worth a squat or maybe they just ignore the results from the "wack engineers who don't understand the big picture" ... the "big picture" usually turns out to be "my wallet needs to be fatter" of course...
... and I kind of understand the intent of TRL and Jinto, I just think the thread stepped into a 'hard to articulate' verbal minefield.

There's almost certainly lots of things in the floating debris mattress.... I'll be surprised if the Japanese don't perform some sort of cursory examination of the mess. Heck, the *fishing nets* are worth going after (they cost a fortune and are often salvaged).

I have a friend, who is a member of the poor side of his family.
He and his mom are often, left out and dealt with harshly because they are from the poor side.
His cousins, are from the wealthy side of the family... they together will go at extreme lengths to help each other.
When it came time for my friend to go to college... the wealthier side of family didn't want to take him in as he had to come to their side of the world to live.
He had to eventually struggle and go it on his own.
His cousin, was immediately taken in by the same family that rejected my friend.
They say... that even among family... the poor members are sometimes scorned.

And yes, I realize that the public well is not inexhaustible, and I also feel that governments of all levels MUST try to pick and choose their spending carefully. For instance, 2011 saw a record number of FEMA disaster declarations throughout the US. However, a number of those declarations were somewhat questionable, as exemplified in the beginning of this article with Vermont's flooding in June versus the much more significant damage from Hurricane Irene just a few months later. There was also all the declarations for heavy snow at the start of the year versus the major tornadoes last spring and Texas' punishing drought and wildfires. Hindsight is always 20/20 of course, but especially in a time of strained finances, governments of all levels should always try to remember a true "rainy day".
But again, we still cannot throw out the baby with the bathwater. Going back to earthquakes, already a lot of fuss is being made about the replacement of the Alaskan Way freeway viaduct in Seattle. They say it'll become a "white elephant project" like Boston's Big Dig...but consider that some of the faultlines around Seattle are very similar to the one that broke off Japan, and some evidence suggests quakes on the scale of the Tohoku disaster have happened there in past. Meanwhile that viaduct is not ready for such a disaster. So replacement of the viaduct, like reconstruction of Japan's tsunami defenses, is an expensive yet necessary investment to be made in America's infrastructure (especially considering that the road runs right by Seattle's busy port and carries a lot of cargo).
As for the issue of corruption in the construction efforts... Yes, I know it's easier said than done, and perhaps I'm being way too naive about some types of people in the public and private sectors, but surely there must be some people with senses of ethics in Japan's government-construction company liaisons, as well as in the Washington State Department of Transportation. With the Japanese government currently carrying out large PR campaigns to boost the country's safe image and bring back tourist money after the quake, taking a harder line against Yakuza influence in reconstruction programs can't be a bad thing in improving their image. If anything, the corruption and incompetence in the Big Dig and New Orleans should be held up as examples of what NOT to do. Again, we can't afford to throw out the baby with the bathwater. The people of the devastated towns can't live in "temporary" barracks forever, and if the Alaskan Way is left to collapse in the inevitable major earthquake, the results will be much more tragic.

IMO, the real problem is with the societal control with "Japanese values", etc. Sure as they keep morality of the society on track, though being too hardcore about it isn't going to lead things anywhere.
I guess the only thing we can do is to watch the yen, since the Japanese are pretty confident about their currency; and that signifies the economy mover as a whole.

What has happened is that Japan has run out of great leaders.
How many Heisei period Prime Ministers has Japan had to the date of this post ?
2 of whom had less that 70 days in office.
Bad boy Koizumi Junichiro is the longest serving of all... and well he had relatively good results... but since Zumi-san left office... in 2006 there have been 6 Prime Ministers in less than 6 years !!!!
No developed nation can progress beyond stagnation with such rapidly changing leadership.
Political growth, Political will, is essential for the other aspects of any nation to grow.

DOTHAN, Ala. (AP) - The money troubles of Indiana pilot and financial manager Marcus Schrenker are getting worse now that an Alabama judge has ordered him to pay $12 million in a lawsuit.
A judge awarded the judgment Thursday to a Dothan man who sued after purchasing an airplane from Schrenker, who is accused of staging a plane crash in an attempt to fake his own death.
Barnett Hudson filed suit claiming Schrenker sold him a damaged airplane in 2002. Schrenker wrote a letter in December saying he was broke and wouldn't defend himself.
Schrenker was facing more than $9 million in court judgments and potential penalties when authorities say he bailed out of his plane over Alabama last month and let it crash to make it appear he was dead.

The material is very soft, very comfortable during my runs in colder temperatures. I would have liked the 3 stripes branding on the sleeves, like the other "Response" tops, because the overall design looks very generic, especially from the front. ... read more
I bought this hoodie for my husband and within a few weeks it had developed lots of bobbles especially on the cuffs. He hasn't worn it that much and it has been washed as per instructions. Very disappointing as it looks and fits great. ... read more
The quality of this hoodie is terrible. My husband has worn this hoodie 3 times and noticed that it has started to peel. He carried my baby bag and where the strap was its peeling. We did like the hoodie but the material is soft and poor quality so it's not worth it ... read more
As some have pointed it is tight fitting. At least one other reviewer pointed out that he could have gone up 2 sizes. That's actually a good thing. I ordered both medium and large. My normal size is medium but I went with the large. Not because the shoulders fit better, there really isn't a lot of difference in that respect. But there is noticeable difference in the chest stomach and waist. Both the medium and large fit fine, but I wanted to a straighter look through the torso, so that's why the large. Initially, I was perplexed at how similar the shoulders fit. Some of that is due to stretch, some due to design, but either case, I like the fit option choices it affords the buyer. Feels and looks great too! I use it for both running and the gym. ... read more
Decent basic, nothing revolutionary. Probably doesn't need the thumbholes, but cuffs can always be folded back to get the extra length out of the way. Hood crosses over in front, which actually does make it more comfortable, surprisingly, as I suppose the tension of the seam isn't concentrated right at the base of the throat as in most hoodies. My main concern was that it wouldn't get all munged up from wear--all bobbled and piled--as I had a Climawarm basic hoodie earlier this year that came apart like tissue paper. This one hasn't but the nice sheen of the fabric fluffs up pretty quick, which is sort of crazy for a simple hoodie costing as much as this. Also, this hoodie isn't Climawarm as the description says: It's Climalite. Also fits a touch short I find. All in all, it's an OK hoodie. ... read more
Really warm to wear, I only wore that and my Base Layer when it was in the minus outside and I stayed perfectly warm. The thumb holes and stripes on the hood are a great extra, my only small complaint about it would be the hood seems a little to long, but I easily got over that ... read more
This PrimeKnit shirt is pretty dang great. It gives a tight fit around the arms and through the lower torso, which, being a slimmer male, has been a problem. Also, smell doesn't stick to it! It's such a good material that it can be washed just with water for a quick fix or by hand to get the smell completely out. ... read more
Always expected good quality products from adidas. Love the fitting. Very comfortable and keeps you warm. Like the holes on the sleeve to put your thumbs through. I also like the hood as it comes all the way in front on to your forehead. Worth the price too. £20-25. ... read more
I'm a bit new to performance sportswear so when it arrived I thought it was way to light and thin to be of much use, but how wrong was I! It fit perfect, snug but not too tight and with a nice amount of stretch when you move. The material feels thinner than I expected but actually in use its perfect, it holds the heat so you stay nice and warm but you don't overheat. I will probably get another at some point in a different color. ... read more
The response icon hoodie is what i expected in terms of quality and warmth. My only criticism is its length which even for a large is perhaps a bit short to the point whereby it rides up my waist when i'm cycling. An extra large would have been too big across the shoulders, so perhaps something for the designers to look at at? Also, the hood is excessively large to the point where it obscures my eyes if it fails forward too much and I have to keep pulling it back. But, in terms of fit and general quality I am pleased with it. ... read more
Had my eye on this top for ages but finally got it in the sale. Very comfy material that is stretchy and very soft against the skin. Really pleased with the fit as although it is quite fitted it doesn't feel too tight. Love the loud colour as well. Another quality product from Adidas. ... read more
Bought this for my son for Christmas and he loves it. And while it looks great on, it is all bobbly around the cuffs already after a couple of wears. I've always been impressed with the quality of Adidas clothing but am very disappointed with this hoodie. ... read more
The quality of this product is absolutely fantastic. The shape & material is just right. From the moment I first put it on it was so comfortable. Adidas have got a winner here & I will be definitely purchasing anothet top in a different colour. Great for lounging or casual wear. Love it. ... read more
This was purchased as a gift for my son and my son was delighted. Great fit with a really nice feel. Soft to the touch, light to wear and quality finish. My son is seasoned Adidas user - this has become a firm fave already. Would recommend. ... read more
Bought this hoodie for football, to wear for the warm up. The material is light and quality is good. The stripes are on the hood which is different and cool. Also the thumb holes on sleeves are unique. I am a medium usually, due to my broad shoulders, and thought I would buy a large to fit loose and make sure the sleeves are long enough for the thumb holes. This hoodie fits slim, as a running hoodie should and fits me perfectly. Not loose. I am a 42" chest and a 34" waist. A great price for a different quirky hoodie. ... read more
The slightly tighter fit of this top means it goes well underneath a hoodie as well as being able to lift sweat off the skin very quickly. The material is extremely soft and comfortable and definitely worth the extra cost! ... read more

Post-op symptoms with Total Hip Replacement
Posted in the Hip Replacement Forum

#23 Dec 6, 2011
Many of the issues you've described are similiar complaints that my mother endures, too.(her THR was in 2009)
One thing to consider; my mother's surgeon explained that her symptoms were back/spine related, NOT a defect of the implant or surgical procedure. My mother DID walk for years by placing the majority of her weight onto the hip that didn't cause pain, this threw-out her normal body/spine alignment, muscles surrounding the back, etc. The shifting of weight caused spinal disks to become compressed and pain resulting from this has caused many of the issues you spoke of in your post. It's just something to consider. I do so hope you can find some pain relief; a THR is a very difficult procedure and recovery process! Sending you hugs and best wishes!
#24 Dec 13, 2011
The most crucial part of the hip implant procedure is the post operation because if the patient won't be extra careful and won't follow the necessary advise of the doctor such as medications. Tendency it will get affected and fail. http://www.depuypinnaclelawsuit.com/recall
#25 Jul 24, 2012
My husband at age 36 had two hip replacements done in 1994. On Feb. 29th 2012 he went in to have the right one done again. On March 24th he had to have a revision because it dislocated twice. He then took a staph infection in the joint. On April 7th he had a cleaning of the joint and a picc line inserted. He took an antibiotic IV once a day. On May 9th he went in and had the hip removed and the antibiotic ceramic spacer installed. IV antibiotics 4 times a day. On june 27th the bloodtests showed no infection so he was put on oral antibiotics 4 times a day instead of the IV. On July 16th 2012 he went in to have the spacer removed and the cultures inside the leg was also negative for infection. A new hip implant was inserted. A special bandage was placed on the incision that had antibiotics and silver. It is not to be changed until he sees the surgeon on a follow up visit. Still taking the oral antibiotics 4 times a day. July 23rd he came down with thrush! He has severe swelling of the leg and he believes it is infected again. He can't put weight on it. He goes to the dr on Thurs the 26th...
#26 Oct 4, 2012
Post operation care is considered as the most crucial because if the patient is not following what the doctor say, tendency is, they are at risk getting infected and their surgery might become a failure, check www.depuyhiprecallcenter.com for more information.
#27 Oct 5, 2012
After surgery, there is always a period of continued swelling, pain and discomfort around the operated area and that is normal as long as it decreases as time goes by until it eventually disappears. What you should be worried about is if the implant inserted in your body is a faulty or defective one like in this case: http://www.strykerhiprecall.us/
#28 Mar 22, 2013
Post-op symptoms usually indicate serious problems. However, we can never be 100% sure. I've read somewhere that age, sex, bone structure, and the type of hip device used, are determining factors of problems related to hip replacement. You need all the information you can find. So, I'll throw this in, http://www.rotlaw.com/stryker-abg-rejuvenate . It contains info on some of the possible side effects associated with hip replacement, mainly metal-on-metal hip devices. maybe it can help you find what you are looking for. Good luck!
#29 Mar 23, 2013
Well, I am just here to say that my husbands right hip is now ok despite everything that he went thru. On Nov 26th 2012 he went back in to have the left one replaced. We thought all went well. 3 weeks later he went for a post op visit and got a copy of his x-ray only to find out that the doctor had fractured the femur bone when doing the revision! There were two metal bands put inplace. However, the discharge papers told him to full weight. Well, today is March 23rd 2013 and my husband is still in pain and has a hard time waling without the assistantance of a cane. He is 55 yrs old. Will he ever fully recover from these hip implant revisions? Only time will tell. May God bless anyone going into this type of procedure!
#30 Jun 6, 2013
Hi My dad, age 70, just had a THR. Same symptoms as your mom and they cannot figure out anything to help it or what is causing it. did they ever find out why your mom had those symptoms? Is she better now? Trying to come up with anything that might help my dad. Thanks!

mish,believe it or not im having the same medical issues also,the hot sweats etc.im wondering its because of the hip replacement.
#34 Aug 29, 2013
I had my surgery in May this year and i still have muscle pain in my thigh, almost constant, which prevents me from going for long walks. I also experience what i call 'hot flashes' although more subtle than the ones i remember having post menopause. I was wondering about that too not knowing if it is normal or not, i am also very fatigued 50% of the time...not sure if this normal either but for now i blame it on the muscle pain and not being able to fully exercise. I am giving the recovery another 2 months or so. I think it just takes time for the body and we all recover at a different pace..

Had thr in Jan 2013, several washouts and vacuum dressing to clear infection. Eventually in August hip was replaced with a spacer and intensive antibiotics. I had a 2nd revision in October but am daily losing copious "old blood" is this normal?

I am six months post op from total hip replacement and still feel like I am sitting on a lump. Thoughts anyone? I am having my second hip replacement Friday.

It's been almost 3 weeks since my hip replacement, all was going well til last week when I became nauseous and no appetite, my dr said if it continues go to a gastro dr.. Stopped my raxabin hoping that is what is causing my nauseous feeling..
#40 Jun 13, 2015
Yes, I had anterior hip replacement 1 month ago and have all those symptoms. Its crazy. It can be 77 in the house and I have to put on a sweatshirt. Its the nausea that is really bothering me day and night now. I can't figure out any particular foods that are causing it.

#42 Jun 16, 2015
Hi Sally, so sorry to hear that you are having all these issues after your surgery. I had none of those and since my Bilateral THR's in Nov. of 2014 I'm doing just Great !! I sure hope they can figure out what's causing this so you don't have to go through this much longer. Take Care !
#43 Jun 17, 2015
Hi Clare, good to hear you are doing so well. I too had bilateral thr in 2014 (Feb), and we have a house on Pence Lake in Deerbrook - I think I mentioned this to you before. Anyway, I hope you continue to do well. Do you actually live in Antigo, or nearby?-I may have asked you this before. Anyway, I am doing just fine as well. In fact, I am having to watch my weight even harder because I have an appetite again since all the horrible pain is gone. It's actually difficult to remember what the pain was like now. Really the only reminders that I have had the surgery are the scars (which I wish would fade a little faster) and when my husband or granddaughters call me bionic. Oh well, bionic is certainly better than crippled!

This company is finished if they still keep on having 200-300 VPs. Here is an idea to Cadence's clueless BOD- o Fire some of those 200-300 useless VPso Fire the extra-ordinarily talentless managers, marketing team and the TAMs. Do the above two to save needless overhead.
I agree strongly. Cadence needs to flatten its organization dramatically. Way too much political infighting and not enough focus. The development groups need to be aligned with the corporate goals. Way too many silos going their own way and the result is no real innovation for way too many years. Their focus has been on sub micron design and that is a shrinking base.They need good relationships with the foundries. I have a friend who works at a major foundry who says that Mentor, Synopsys, and Magma are true partners while Cadence is always trying to extract more money out of them. ie, Cadences treats their partnership programs as a revenue source rather than a true partnership. This arrogant attitude is costing Cadence.
eda2booz, you've got a start on a good idea, but I'd take it1 step further, fire the whole damned board of directors forallowing this company to be totally mismanaged. You can nothave 200-300 VP's without the approval of the BOD. Therefore, as is the case in any engineering problem you haveto define the problem first before you can solve it and I submit that the real crux of the issue is the BOD. Hence,fire them immediately and you have a chance at resurrectingthis company.
The major problem is a lack of competitive products at Cadence. Marketing or sales is not to blame they merely spin and cut deals to make up for a lack of technology. If Cadence products were leading edge the situation would be very different. As to the VPs they need to clean house based on performance and not politics.
Do not forget each VP has an admin serving him/her.
No idea where you got the 200-300 number from. Cadence has never had that many VPs. Currently there are less than 90, I believe.
Jeez guys - VP is just a title; stop being so bitter about it. MENT hardly has any VPs, CDNS has ~90 - just means that MENT is more selective about what the VP title means.Of the 90 VPs, there are exec VP's, corporate VPs, senior VP, and ordinary VPs. Just think of most of them as middle management - the real VP's are the exec and senior, perhaps some corporate. Ordinary VPs are the equivalent of Directors at other companies.Sure they should look at eliminating management overhead & poor performers but personally I don't care what the title is.

Is there ever a situation when ASM just isn't low-level enough? After all, assembler still has to be assembled. Has anyone ever written a program in binary? I'm just wondering if there's ever a theoretical reason why doing so might be practical or even if it's possible on modern computers.
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.
Historical reason: You are running a machine that requires its boot code to be toggled in on the front panel. (And yes, this was done. Regularly in the first couple of generation of machines.)
Not-what-you-were-looking-for modern reason: When you are writing an assembler you have to figure out the process.
Back in 1997 I used to do this on TI-83 calculators when I was at school and didn't have access to a link cable.
Normally at that time, you would just write an assembly program, use TASM to build it, and then transfer it to the calculator via a link cable. But if I was bored and wanted to put something small together, I had memorized enough of the byte instructions to be able to type them in for certain things.
Side Note Of course this was fun if there was a bug in the program, because it could easily corrupt the entire calculator's RAM. So then you would have to hold down the ON button and/or remove the AAA batteries and hope that was enough to restore the calc (sans any programs that were in memory). Otherwise to do a hard reset, you would have to use a screwdriver to unscrew a special backup battery. Good times...
You got it — if no [dis]assembler is available. I've been in firmware hacking situations where I spent enough time looking at raw PowerPC instruction streams to be able to recognize and hand-assemble a few kinds of instructions. (I ended up porting a disassembler: http://homepage.mac.com/potswa/source/DisDave.sit, if you can manage to install it.)
Some ISAs are much simpler than others. RISCs follow simple formats and it's easy to orient yourself because instructions are typically the same length and aligned to word boundaries. x86-64, on the other hand, is full of variable-length encodings and prefix codes.
In FPGA projects or when custom circuitry is involved, it is very common to devise some kind of instruction stream and hand-encode it in binary.
When you're hacking binary formats by hand, as A Whirlwind Tutorial on Creating Really Teensy ELF Executables for Linux does.
Dynamic code generation:
If you have a very simple problem to solve, and performance is important it is often a good idea to analyze the problem-space and generate a specialized function on the fly to solve the problem.
One practical example: High performance math with sparse matrices.
This often involves multiplying arrays of numbers, thousands to millions of times. Since lots of the matrix elements may be zero or one you can save a significant amount of time if you remove all of the trivial multiplications.
To do this a little code-generator can analyze the matrices and generate the machine code for the matrix arithmetic on the fly. How to to this can range from using a JIT library (or built-in language feature) to very simple schemes.
For the sparse matrix multiplications case you may get great performance by just gluing pre-built code snippets for the different cases together. This can be done in 50 lines of C-code.
When I was in training during my Navy days, (some time around 1986) we has a computer that we were given to learn electronics troubleshooting, not programming troubleshooting, that was programmed by entering binary information into the front of the computer, and we had to tell the instructor what they broke in the machine based on the results as well as troubleshooting of the hardware. As far as I know there might still be one of those machines around.
I wish I could find my source code for it, I actually wrote a simulator of the machine and a compile for the language for the machine. It was amazing how much work you could get done with 1024 bytes of memory! :)
Even if you find yourself skipping the assembler and going straight to machine code, you won't be using binary, but hex instead.
In school, I had to patch code in-memory using a debugger without the benefit of an assembler. While entertaining, this is a skill with virtually no value outside of embedded systems debugging.
Also, consider that opcode mnemonics used in assembly should have a 1:1 correspondence with actual opcodes (thus the term "mnemonic"), so you won't be able to do anything by pounding out machine code by hand that you couldn't do in assembly. The assembler's role is to convert mnemonics to opcodes (also determining which version of a specific instruction should be used - immediate vs indirect MOVs, for instance), labels to addresses, and similar tasks.
It's good to know what's going on inside of the assembler, but this will almost never come up unless you're looking for a bug in an assembler, hacking an embedded gadget or MacGyvering your way out of a really, really weird situation.
In a post apocalyptic world where all keyboards and monitors have been destroyed and the only way to program tetris into your computer is through toggles on your front-panel, yes.
But seriously why would anyone want to do such a thing?
Edit: obviously there are people out there designing processors that have to program in binary, until they can get an assembler running on their processors, but they are a very small group of people.
I recall reading that Woz wrote the first Apple BASIC (Apple I? Apple II?) in machine language. Before they had storage devices, you needed to enter hex codes in the monitor.
I didn't have any assembler to my eight bit Atari, so I wrote the machine code directly. To start the code from BASIC you either write the code as decimal data bytes or as a string. (Yes, you could actually write code in a string, the only character code from the 256 that you couldn't type in was 155 - the code for return. Luckily there is no 6502 machine code instruction with that value, so it was only a problem when a branch happened to be 101 bytes backwards (-101 = 155).)
I still remember a common piece of code to start a timer:
In recent years I have attended some size optimisation assembly competitions. Eventhough most of the code is assembly, you still have to know exactly which instructions the assembler produces so that you know how many bytes they are. Also, sometimes you use tricks like having some bytes be used both as data and as code, or having some bytes being different instructions depending on whether you enter the first byte or enter in the middle of an instruction. Then you write instructions as data bytes in the middle of the assembly code.
There are a few times you benefit from working with raw machine code, not just assembly language. For example, consider sending a binary file via email, but with an email program that didn't know how to decode attachments. At one time, a few people wrote small programs that could decode the rest of an attachment, but everything in the program was a printable character. So, you decode your attachment, you'd save the body of the email as
For another example, years ago on Fidonet there was a rather simple challenge: write a program that simply prints out a number that increments each time it's run -- but (the part that made it tricky) it's not allowed to use any external files or other storage to do the job. To keep this from getting too boring, it was also a code-golf kind of thing, though the measured size was executable bytes, not source code. Quite a few of the entries to this challenge used self-modifying code that depended heavily on exactly how instructions were encoded and such.
Looking for a second, I see I still have the source code to one of my attempts:
I'd better quit now, before I'm responsible for anybody have apoplectic fits (hoping I'm not too late...)
It used to be not too uncommon to go from binary to assembler to understand a dump.
But not using assembler? I can't think of any reason. Assembler is already programming the bare metal. It's only benefit is to enable the use of labels such as "add" for the actual (binary) instruction. etc.
Well, you might use hex to program some basic bootload instructions in a RAM or a ROM instead of using an assembler, if you were the chip developer. I've done so for a softcore I wrote.
Realistically, after you've done that, the next step is to write a basic assembler in Perl or something.
If you're creating an interpreter. Perhaps you have the interpreter completed, but not the parser. You could test out the interpreter by writing the to-be-interpreted program in pure binary.
Hazing ritual for new team member.
A really cool example is this famous polyglot, which is a valid DOS .COM file among other things because the ASCII in its source code doubles as binary x86 instructions! http://ideology.com.au/polyglot/polyglot.txt
More boring examples...
Many processors implement ISA instructions as sequences of more primitive micro-instructions (basically collections of datapath control signals) which are "microcoded" in a microcode ROM.
For a simple enough processor, you might write microcode directly in binary rather than assembling it from a mnemonic language. Or if you're reverse engineering a processor, you might not know its micro-instruction set and just have to guess at the format of micro-instructions... in which case you're probably also working in binary. Either way this is lower level than assembly language.
Sometimes code for old processors like the 6502 used undocumented instructions which didn't have official mnemonics, so you had to write binary values rather than assembly instructions.
For a college project I had to design a simplified microcontroller in VHDL (a hardware description language). To test it, I wrote an extremely simple program in binary, because it was the most convenient way to feed the program into the simulated microcontroller.

I'm trying to sign an XPI on linux (no gui) using the NSS cert db (cert8.db and key3.db) i copied from another server of mine, on which I can sign XPI's just fine.
On the new box I can sign with a brand new test certificate ok, but when i try to use the old cert db, it complains with:

Certutil lists the cert im trying to use with a * and the CA is present in there as well.
Is this cert db transferable between computers like this? Or are there any other files I have to setup?

NEW YORK Microsoft Corp reported its first quarterly loss as a public company on Thursday as it took a previously announced hit for writing down the value of its ailing online unit, but held up better than expected in the face of stagnant computer sales.
Excluding the multibillion-dollar write-down, which was signaled earlier this month, and factoring in some deferred Windows revenue, the world's largest software company actually exceeded Wall Street's expectations, boosting its shares in after-market trading.
After several years of stumbling behind mobile and Internet trailblazers Apple Inc and Google Inc, and a decade-long static share price, some expectation is building that Microsoft can re-establish itself as a tech leader with its new, touch-friendly Windows 8 system, due out on October 26, and an accompanying tablet of its own design.
"Considering the macro backdrop, these numbers are very good," said Trip Chowdhry, an analyst at Global Equities Research. "There's a lot of anticipation for the next Microsoft products. They are regaining credibility with enterprises."
"It looks good, given the dicey economic environment and the weakness we already know about in PCs," said Brendan Barnicle, an analyst at Pacific Crest Securities.
The company reported a net loss of $492 million, or 6 cents per share for its fiscal fourth quarter, compared with a profit of $5.87 billion, or 69 cents per share, in the year-ago quarter.
The loss was expected after Microsoft said earlier this month that it would take a $6.2 billion write-down for the value of its online unit after an ill-fated acquisition five years ago.
Microsoft has not suffered a quarterly loss since going public in 1986.
Revenue rose 4 percent to $18 billion, helped by strong growth in its Office unit, but dampened by slowing computer sales featuring its flagship Windows operating system. Global PC sales, which have been stagnant for the last two years, fell 0.1 percent last quarter, according to tech research firms Gartner and IDC.
Microsoft deferred $540 million of Windows revenue in the quarter due to an upgrade discount it is offering customers who buy machines running Windows 7 before the launch of Windows 8 in October.
Excluding the write-down, but factoring in that deferred revenue, Microsoft said it earned 67 cents per share in the quarter. On that basis, Wall Street expected profit of 62 cents per share, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
Quarterly sales, cut by the deferred Windows revenue, were slightly below analysts' average forecast of $18.1 billion.
Excluding the deferred revenue, the company's flagship Windows unit posted only a 1 percent drop in sales, which was better than some analysts had expected in the uncertain economy.
Microsoft's shares rose 2.5 percent in post-market trading after closing at $30.67 on Nasdaq.
The stock is up 10 percent so far this year, compared to a 14 percent gain in the tech-heavy Nasdaq. But it has remained locked around the $30 level, which it has not exceeded for any prolonged period since the tech stock boom 12 years ago.

By Scott Malone
BOSTON (Reuters) - The first week of accused mob boss James "Whitey" Bulger's trial transported jurors back to an era when machine-gun-toting gangsters shot associates who talked too much in telephone booths and buried bodies under bridges.
It was powerful stuff, but even more telling was testimony from John "The Executioner" Martorano - the first of Bulger's top lieutenants to take the stand against his former boss - and others that showed how the culture of secrecy that allowed such gangs to operate has collapsed.
Martorano, as well as several low-level bookmakers who had paid tribute to Bulger's feared "Winter Hill" crime gang in the 1970s, '80s and '90s, readily discussed how the gang operated, with a core of thugs demanding money from bookies and drug dealers in exchange for enforcing debt collections.
Bulger, 83, and Martorano, 72, looked like the senior citizens they are in Boston's waterfront federal court building. The accused gang leader has lost the shock of light-colored hair that had earned him the nickname "Whitey." Martorano had to use two pairs of glasses, one to look at the lawyers and another to review evidence.
Speaking in a low, gravelly voice, Martorano nonchalantly described a dozen murders that involved Bulger, from successful hits on rivals for power to the accidental shooting of a teenage girl, which briefly caused him to consider shooting himself.
Both Bulger and Martorano - as well as fellow gang members Stephen "The Rifleman" Flemmi and Kevin Weeks, who are due to testify later in what is expected to be a three- to four-month trial - are relics of a bygone age of crime, observers said.
"These guys are throwbacks, they are dinosaurs. I don't think we could look at anyone today and say, 'He's just like Whitey,'" said Howard Abadinsky, professor of criminal justice at St. John's University in New York.
These days, the public is likely to know these characters mostly through Hollywood. Bulger's story inspired Martin Scorsese's 2006 Academy Award-winning film "The Departed."
Bulger fled Boston after a 1994 tip from a corrupt FBI official that arrest was imminent and spent 16 years as a fugitive before law enforcement caught him, hiding out in a seaside apartment in Santa Monica, California, on June 22, 2011.
He has pleaded not guilty to all charges, including racketeering, extortion and 19 murders he is accused up committing or ordering. He faces life in prison if convicted.
Martorano confessed to 20 murders but served just 12 years in prison, while Weeks served just five years after admitting to helping Bulger commit that many killings. Each man received a lighter sentence because he agreed to testify against Bulger.
A readiness to kill helped the gang cover its tracks for years, said Michael Kendall, a partner at the Boston law firm McDermott Will & Emery and a former federal prosecutor who investigated some of Bulger's associates.
"Martorano was a very talented murderer. He knew how to do it, he knew how to control the number of people who saw it," Kendall said. "He wasn't going to do time for most if any of these murders because they couldn't prove them."
Boston police knew the gang's skill in cleaning up after itself. After Diane Sussman was wounded in a botched hit in March 1973, officials advised her to leave the city.
"The people who machine-gunned down the car probably did not want me as a witness," she recalled on the witness stand Thursday.
But the tightly disciplined organization Bulger had built broke down after he fled and his former cronies learned the boss had cooperated with the FBI. The degree to which that breached the gangster's code could be seen in how strongly his lawyer denied that Bulger had been an informant.
"James Bulger is of Irish descent, and the worst thing an Irish person could do was become an informant," J.W. Carney, Bulger's lead attorney, said in his opening statements. Bulger paid the FBI for information but never provided any of his own, Carney said.
Another one of Bulger's victims, who was also wounded in March 1973, when the gang attacked a car he was riding in, killing the driver, proved the exception at the trial.
Ralph DeMasi, recently released from prison after serving 21-1/2 years for a conviction related to a planned armed-car robbery, refused to testify until ordered by the court to speak.
He said he knew nothing about many of the people prosecutors asked him about, including a rival gang leader Bulger is accused of killing. But when asked about other inmates who won lighter sentences by cooperating with authorities, DeMasi opened up.
"You kill 20 people, go testify against somebody, you can walk," DeMasi said. "You have people walking out there now that are serial murders. It's how the system works."
In addition to the shattering of the illusion of trust, another factor led to the collapse of old-style ethnic gangs, experts said. As the immigrant groups they recruited from became more integrated into American society, young people from those backgrounds found better lives outside crime.
"Smart Jewish, Irish and Italian kids don't need to be gangsters to make money," said Kendall, the former prosecutor. "It absolutely is a cycle. "They make far more money in legitimate lives."

What is meta?
- Any Stack Exchange user can ask a question
- The community provides support, votes on ideas, and reports bugs
- Your voice helps shape the way Stack Exchange operates
We record the OpenID identifier (which is a URL almost always), and optionally record an email address and personal name if they are provided. Email and name aren't required, so an OpenID provider that doesn't collect (or send) them will still be accepted.
