I was recently told that the solution to all (most) problems with unintended latches during VHDL synthesis is to put whatever the problematic signal is in a record.
This seems like it's a little bit too good to be true, but I'm not that experienced with VHDL so there could be something else that I'm not considering.
Should I put all my signals in records?

New Seahawks Gear? Football's Regular Season is Almost Here
For you true Seahawks fans, did you ever imagine a day when you would find Seahawks Super Bowl gear on clearance? I remember losing to the Miami Dolphins in the 1999 AFC playoff wild card game, then seeing the Hawks finally make it to the Super Bowl in 2005 -- only to suffer a painful loss to the Steelers in a poorly officiated game. Seattle finally won the Big Game last year, but in a big way it's still hard to imagine Hawks Super Bowl gear on the clearance rack.
To my surprise that day came this weekend. The hats the players wore when they won the Super Bowl were reduced to $9.99 at Just Sports inside the Valley Mall.

Unum in an Age of Yo
Published: February 4, 1996
(Page 2 of 3)
Precisely because Latin is seldom required anymore, Latin teachers must make their classes livelier to attract students. This means Ms. Polsky's version, not Mr. Petula's. "I think that the fact that it's necessary to project yourself to survive," mused Mr. Gascoyne, the retired state expert, "means that those who can't do it don't survive, and those who do look great."
As of last year, 19 of the city's public high schools and a smattering of junior highs offered Latin. Some are like the Bronx High School of Science, with its brand-new language lab. The students stare at computer screens and communicate via headsets like so many NASA engineers.
But some of the schools that offer Latin are modest, like the Manhattan Center for Science and Math, an oldish, giant square brick building at East 116th Street and the Harlem River. Joyce Linton teaches in Room 160, a first-floor cavern with bare wood floors and no technology more complicated than the light bulbs.
She goes to Freshman Orientation to lobby students to take Latin; most are black or Hispanic, and there are a few Asians.
Ms. Linton took over the four-year-old Latin program last year, after its founder, Kenneth Allen, died. The program, Ms. Linton says, started against the wishes of the staff. Why go for frills when you're struggling for the basics?
Mr. Allen was intent on teaching Latin, but also on avoiding the Jenney method, the standard up until a decade ago. That's when new textbooks pioneered in England and Scotland were imported. He ended up buying them out of his own pocket. They had the requisite "kickiness," treating Latin like French or Spanish, doing less translation into English in favor of doing more communicating in Latin: reading, speaking, listening, writing, and understanding parts of the culture. No one can learn Latin without significant amounts of rote memorization, but these books added pretty color pictures, cute little dialogues, and word games to pinpoint the Latin roots of English words.
Teaching the new way brings up points that weren't so clear in the old days. For instance, how multicultural Latin actually was: the empire included Gaul, Spain, Africa, and there were long periods of peaceful coexistence between political and ethnic groups whose common ground was Latin.
And it also brings out the flaws of Latin society, like limited schooling for girls, and the dependence on slaves. "They're curious about slavery," Ms. Linton says of her students. But as far as connecting to American slavery, "it doesn't really come up. I think they understood that slaves were part of the spoils of war."
The students may greet each other in the hall with "Salve!" (SAL-vay) but they remain regular teen-agers. Acting out a dialogue, a student playing a slave girl flings herself flirtatiously into another character's arms. "Hey-hey-hey, that wasn't in the script!" another student laughs.
The struggle to keep Latin in the schools is hard-fought, but you would be hard-pressed to find an academic who thought his immortal soul was at stake in the fight. Not so a subset of tradition-oriented Catholics.
It has been a long time since the old cliches about the Catholic Mass have been true: the priest praying silently, his back to the people; the choirs singing glorious monody and polyphony; the chants of "Dominus vobiscum" (The Lord be with you) and "Ita Missa est" (The Mass is ended).
Those were all parts of the Tridentine Mass, which dates to the sixth century and was made official by the Council of Trent in the 16th. And it was the Tridentine Mass that disappeared in the wake of Vatican II, a revamping of the Catholic Church in the mid-60's. In its place came the Novus Ordo (New Order) Mass, meant to more up-to-date, more accessible. And meant to be said in the vernacular.
For many Catholics, the changes were long overdue. Not for David Lane.
Mr. Lane lives in Woodside, Queens, and edits the trade publication Optometry Today. For him, the changes meant more than lousy modern folk songs replacing the sacred works of musical geniuses. No, the problem lay deeper. The Novus Ordo verged on Protestant heresy, soft-pedaling the consecration of bread and wine and their transformation into the flesh and blood of the Savior. "I grew up in the 50's, and to me," he says, "it was a time of things falling apart. But not the church, not the Latin Mass.
"The church," he says, "was the untouched bride of Christ. And when it was, in my estimation, violated, I was disgusted."
But these days, Mr. Lane goes to church every day, and he is especially devoted to doing so on Saturdays and Sundays. On those days, he -- in the company of several hundred traditionalist Catholics -- can attend his beloved Latin Mass again at one of several churches. That's because, in 1988, when Pope John Paul II announced the excommunication of a French traditionalist leader, Marcel Lefebvre, he also recommended that the Latin Mass be allowed to return to every diocese, so that those tempted to follow Lefebvre might find a reason to stay. And when Mr. Lane heard that, he began to lobby John Cardinal O'Connor for a local Latin Mass -- which he got in time for Easter of 1989.

- The teacher asks everyone in the class to demonstrate something exciting. When Johnny's turn came, he walked to the blackboard and drew a small dot. "What's that?" the teacher asked, puzzled. "It's a period." – "Well, I see that, but what's exciting about a period?" – "Darned if I know, but this morning my sister said she missed one… Dad had a heart attack, mom fainted, and the guy next door shot himself."

The strange beast depicted above washed up on a beach in Montauk, New York a few days back.
Since then, the creature has earned the nickname "The Montauk Monster" and left half the Internet speculating what exactly it is.
Is it a new turtle species that has been beaten with the ugly stick? A product of some government experiment gone horribly awry? Or, is it merely a publicity stunt being used to promote an upcoming film?
Time to join the on-going speculation. If bio-whizzes can't figure it out, no one can.
Further info: HERE
There are too many speculations currently. Most of them are saying that the 'creature' seems to be a dead decomposed-raccoon, a dead decomposed-dog and some even said that it is a dead sea turtle without its shell! Two vital options are left out here; HOAX and BULLSHIT!
Personally, I can't say a crap about the image above as I believe, I have to 'see it in order to believe it'. Whatever it may be, may it rest in peace!
Alright guys, in a few days time, you shall be expecting a forwarded email by a bunch of 15 years old Friendster sluts titled "Weird creature found in CHENNAI, INDIA". Or some of our kids even tend to be more unique and creative, in such a way that they might even add some bunch of valuable information in the end of the email message. "Either you forward this email to 10 person or expect the dead creature to haunt you tonight"!
To those kids, bak kata pepatah orang tua, "GOOGLE IT YOU IDIOT!". Well, initially, I did googled about this "Montauk Monster" and it came out to be a hoax for some, to be a dead this and that for some and to be a nicely-done photoshopped image for some.
For further information, visit the link given above. All hail the Montauk Monster!

Why the website designing process is essential to make on the web?
More secure approach is twofold permissive email, that will receive a confirmation letter after user registration, only click on the link in the confirmation letter after the message was officially included in the Responsive web design e-mail list.This prevents a lot of people use fake e-mail address or the wrong e-mail address.We must give users a reason to take the initiative to register.The reason may be free tutorials, can be industry reports, etc. can be coupons.As more and more sites, allowing users to leave an e-mail more and more difficult.
To facilitate the users registered to join the mailing list, the proposed form only ask the name and e-mail address, do not ask some other important information such as gender, work unit, telephone and so on, the more simple and easier to convince people to register.A user comes to your site, it may be looking for information, there may be something to buy, there may be around.Users first come to your site can generate sales ratio is very low.
You must see your site several times, familiar, a sense of trust, it is easy to buy something from your site, or make you want any action he performed.Most users do not come to your website to buy something, leave it to leave, after once again come to your site the chance is very low.To attract users to leave e-mail address, it is the best way to remind them after your existence.
It was found that a user visits your site after 7, the possibility to buy things before they reach a relatively high level of stability.So it should be repeatedly reminded by e-mail users to the benefits of your website, product, or send some useful information.Application software can make this whole process is very simple and fully automated.
What makes the website look attractive and usable to work with expert web designers?
As a long-tail words, to do something simple, ranking it should be good.Actually or someone would deliberately do "Wenzhou Chamber of Commerce," such words.The word is from Shanghai Wei Ya-off seen in, Shanghai Wei Ya teachers are respected my blog author.How to make money from the site web designers Melbourne are still troubling webmasters and SEO, it is strongly recommended to see a teacher Wei Ya blog.There is no SEO techniques, but you can see a lot of network operators wonderful reports on tips and other experiences make money online.
Wenzhou Chamber of Commerce, the word comes from the lighting team in a keyword promotion.Wei Ya lighting is a core of dozens of blog writers a team, provide blog marketing services for other companies.Blog writers roughly program is for customer ten keywords writing articles, published in his blog and on other forums, blog platform, Space, industry website.Then measure performance based on the emergence of the situation on the Google, Yahoo, three major search engines in the first three pages of the ten key words blog post.
See Wei Ya teachers believe that the term designated president of Chamber of Commerce senior vice president of the world, that there are some ideas.And service experiments conducted by a team lit blog, I find it very interesting, but there are some places worth discussing.Obviously Wei Ya teachers SEO quite appreciate and value, but Wei Ya teachers know blog marketing and search engine optimization lit a misunderstanding between the team.
As far as I have seen cases of lighting team, in fact, search engines and search engine optimization has little relationship, but Wei Ya teachers and the lighting team mistakenly think their blog marketing practice, the end result is to appear in search engines rankings.Standard they measure service effectiveness is to see the search engine rankings, this measure seems to me to be wrong.

It's not everyday you see a dragon.
But that's exactly what some people saw Thursday at Wollaston Beach in Quincy.
The Animal Rescue League of Boston said it rescued a bearded dragon, a type of lizard, at about 2:30 p.m. Thursday after fielding a number of calls about the reptile being spotted atop a wall near the beach.
The reptile was unharmed and was being sent to the Animal Rescue League of Boston's shelter in Dedham, said Ami Bowen, a spokeswoman for the animal-welfare organization.
Bearded dragons are not indigenous to Massachusetts, but they are a popular type of pet. The dragon originates in Australia.
"We can't know for sure, but given the location we found it, it probably wasn't a pet that escaped its home," Bowen said. "Somebody abandoned him. It was probably someone's pet at some point."
Bowen said the rescue league got a call from someone at Wollaston Beach who saw the bearded dragon atop a wall. Later, someone else spotted the lizard and tweeted about it, prompting several more people to call the rescue league, Bowen said.
"A lot of people noticed and did the right thing by calling the Animal Rescue League," she said.

"This is the first time I've used Tiny Prints. It was hard to decide with all the beautiful design choices. I was very pleased with the quality of the paper and the printing. It seems a little more expensive than some sites but I felt with the rapid service and quality product it was worth it."
"I've used tiny prints for the past 6 years and they are the best quality and best options of any card company I've found. Very satisfied"
"We use Tiny Prints every year for our holiday cards and every year we get rave reviews from our family and friends; this year being no different. Tiny Prints gives us the best selection of designs to choose from, no matter if we decide to do a traditional card one year or vintage the next. It's my favorite site to buy cards from and the quality is exceptional!"
"The card was great quality and adapted to our photo brilliantly. I liked that it added a touch of holiday snow and had different options for greeting."
"This turned out really beautiful and was incredibly easy to create. I went with the unique cut out design and the blue/green coloring as it matched family pictures we had taken earlier in the year. I also was grateful for the option to write a message on the back, as it allowed me to include an update for family and friends on our Christmas card. Overall, I was extremely happy with the quality of the card - just wished it wasn't quite so expensive!"

• Tom Spurgeon runs an email from an anonymous publishing executive responding to some of the complaints about Diamond Comic Distributors in the wake of the new threshold: "Diamond is a business affected by a down economy just like anyone. Are they obligated to keep laying off employees, so that they can continue to list shitty comics?"
• Despite a recession that's affecting all aspects of the publishing industry, Amazon.com saw sales rise 18 percent in the fourth quarter of 2008, compared to the same period in 2007. Net sales were up $6.7 billion.
• Citing rising production costs and declining subscriber and advertising bases, F&W Media has pulled the plug on the gaming magazine Scrye. The April issue will be the last.
I was at a con with Jeph and other web comics creators in Massachusetts last summer, and much of what he writes parallels the discussions we were having as I was selling books and he was selling T-Shirts. He sold more shirts than I did books… and he did a panel on this with Randall Munroe (xkcd) and other web cartoonists as they talked about making money doing a web comic – merch, merch, merch… There was a general sense of amusement with the "old guard" who still don't "get it", esp. as all the panelists were making a living with their work…

Today's Quote, Via Jonathan Swift: 'It Is Useless To Attempt To Reason A Man Out Of A Thing He Was Never Reasoned Into'
The great English satirist Jonathan Swift (1667-1745) was, of course, not thinking of climate science deniers when he wrote:
It is useless to attempt to reason a man out of a thing he was never reasoned into.
This is of a kind with the Upton Sinclair quote, "It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it!"
And this is not entirely dissimilar to the quote widely attributed to Mark Twain (as Al Gore does in An Inconvenient Truth): "It ain't what you don't know that gets you into trouble. It's what you know for sure that just ain't so." But there appears to be no actual evidence Twain ever said it or something close to it. Who actually said it first remains something of a mystery.
Finally, and only partially unrelated, we have my favorite Swift quote, which I use to begin the discussion of the figure of speech "Enigma" in my book Language Intelligence: Lessons on persuasion from Jesus, Shakespeare, Lincoln, and Lady Gaga:
There are certain common privileges of a writer, the benefit whereof, I hope, there will be no reason to doubt; particularly, that where I am not understood, it shall be concluded, that something very useful and profound is couched underneath; and again, that whatever word or sentence is printed in a different character, shall be judged to contain something extraordinary either of wit or sublime.
I do hope you will hold me to that same standard!
10 Responses to Today's Quote, Via Jonathan Swift: 'It Is Useless To Attempt To Reason A Man Out Of A Thing He Was Never Reasoned Into'
Correction: the great IRISH satirist, Jonathan Swift…………..
Hi Joe,
Is a post on projected uv ray capacity on the Earth's surface doable in today's cultures? Possibly a post on the likelyhood of underground lifestyles by the year 2022?
certainly you wouldn't want to do a post on it if you know you have to completely deceive for the post to be acceptable.
I have rarely encountered a Rightwinger who uses reason. It simply refutes so many of their most beloved canards that it provokes outbreaks of individual and group hysteria amongst them. They much prefer magical thinking dictated by ideological rigidity, of course. Denial of the facts because they cannot be forced into the ideological straitjacket, indubitably appeals. Pavlovian reflexive response to noxious stimuli, the worst being losing a rational debate with the hated Leftists, the even more despised 'Greenies' or even a less deluded fellow Rightwinger. Amongst the more gifted, casuistry and crude sophistry are much admired, as are diversionary rhetorical flourishes. Of course, very quickly it descends into abuse and invective, but that's their nature, as immutable as the lead in their intellectual and spiritual saddle-bags.
I wish I could hold all your commentators to that standard Joe, myself included, but…ME
But I think Twain did say: "Faith is believing what you know ain't so."
What a relief. I am seldom understood. Now I know that something useful and profound is couched…
A quote that cuts both ways….
"A point of view can be a dangerous luxury when substituted for insight and understanding."
Marshall McLuhan – The Guttenberg Galaxy
"I believe because it IS absurd." –Anthony Watts
I don't know if he was the first to say it (and I doubt that he was) but I remember Will Rogers saying something very like that possible Mark Twain quote.

Today, we sign on to ideals of the Declaration
Published: Monday, July 4, 2005 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, July 3, 2005 at 11:33 p.m.
The issue: Fourth of July.
We suggest: Take note of what it is to be an American.
On a hot July day 229 years ago in Philadelphia, members of the Second Continential Congress took a bold and enduring action, approving a Declaration of Independence from England and the rule of King George III. It proved to be a momentous step in the history of mankind.
Today, July 4, we celebrate this event, the birth of a new nation unlike any that had ever existed before. From the action of these 56 brave men sprung an ideal of life that still inspires us and other peoples around the world today.
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." Thomas Jefferson wrote those words as he drafted the Declaration over the course of 17 days. Today these phrases are the most-sacred gospel of democracy, but in 1776 they were a profound break with the accepted manner of governing and living. It marked the beginning of the end of the age of monarchy and royalty and aristocracy and feudalism and peasants.
Today each of us enjoys the fruits derived from the gamble the Founding Fathers made. Their belief that each of us is equal is the basis of opportunity that inspires us to work, to be creative, to achieve, to build, to innovate, to make life better for ourselves and our families. In the United States, an individual is limited only by his or her willingness to use their talents to the fullest. We are a free people. But this simple ideal unleashes human potential. It is the reason our nation, with only about 5 percent of the world's population, is an economic, military and cultural superpower.
The Declaration tells us that "a tyrant is unfit to be the ruler of a free people" and that governments derive "their just powers from the consent of the governed." These words are truths, but they are truths we must guard and defend. History shows us that human nature is such that those who gain power often are reluctant to give it up. There have been tyrants throughout history to this day, when we still have bizarre egomaniacs such as where Kim Jong-Il in North Korea, a dictator who is the son of a dictator, who seeks recognition on the world stage through nuclear-power ambitions while the people he rules starve to the point repeatedly of eating grass and leaves to survive, according to reports of those who have managed to flee.
That is a way of life unfathomable to most Americans. For that we must thank our Founding Fathers -- and all those Americans who succeeded them and stood firm, too, to the ideals that they bet their lives on in 1776. All of these patriots essentially have done as the Declaration signers did: "We mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor."
We reconfirm this pact with them and ourselves each Fourth of July. Let us do it again today on this holiday: Fly your flag, thank veterans and the members of our military and their families who have shouldered sacrifices at this moment on our behalf. Enjoy your family today. Celebrate with them and friends. Take in the community fireworks show tonight. Above all, recognize, honor and give thanks for this special way of life that we have the privilege to enjoy. It is good to be an American.

A California man was arrested Thursday on drug possession charges after a state trooper found more than 100 pounds of marijuana during a traffic stop near Bushland.
Shortly before 10 a.m., a Department of Public Safety trooper pulled over a 2010 Volkswagen traveling eastbound on Interstate 40 for a traffic violation. During the traffic stop, the trooper searched the vehicle and found 100 vacuum-sealed bundles of marijuana in the trunk.
The driver, David A. Goodwin, 32, of San Diego, Calif., was placed under arrest on a second-degree felony charge of marijuana possession and booked into the Potter County jail. A second-degree felony is punishable by 2 to 20 years in prison.
The drugs, valued at more than $485,000, allegedly were being transported from San Diego to Monroeville, Pa., authorities said.

Hey all-
Sorry for the multiple postings. A few more questions in addition to my other post:
1. I installed P2 but the most recent posting breaks with about half a page of white space between the top and the bottom. (This doesn't happen in Prologue.) Any ideas on what I may have done wrong? I tried completely fresh installs but I don't know what happened. :(
2. I actually like the header of Prologue better than P2. Is there a way to switch them or will it mess things up?
3. Is it possible to delete all of the buttons/options at the top (status update/blog/etc.)? I don't need them for one of my projects.
4. Any way to limit the character count?
5. This is minor, but when I click "logout" it says "You are now logged out" twice. Is that something with P2?
Any help would be appreciated. :)
Thanks and best wishes,

Irvin Mayfield & the New Orleans Jazz Orchestra
The 16-piece NOJO is only one of myriad projects trumpeter and composer Irvin Mayfield has immersed himself in, but it's unique in single-handedly covering the broad sweep of New Orleans musical history. Founded by Mayfield in 2002 precisely to ensure the survival of that heritage, the NOJO has become even more vital in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. In response to the storm, Mayfield, whose father drowned during Katrina, wrote a piece for the NOJO called "All the Saints," whose emotional debut drew 1,200 people in one of the city's first post-hurricane public gatherings. In performances dubbed "Do You Know What It Means," the NOJO covers the Crescent City gamut from early Louis Armstrong jazz to blues, gospel, Caribbean influences, second-line parade rhythms, and the raucous call-and-response and street rhythms of the Mardi Gras Indians. Leading the way is Mayfield, a wonderful player steeped in the city's rich trumpet legacy, who also leads his own quintet (which will play the Dakota in March). With percussionist Bill Summers, Mayfield co-founded the deliciously cross-cultural Los Hombres Calientes. He's also an official New Orleans cultural ambassador and is involved on numerous boards and commissions working on the city's revival. If you do know what it means to miss New Orleans, you'll know this is not to be missed.
