Swarms of Asian hornets which have already killed six in France could be on their way to Britain, experts have warned.
Southern parts of England are likely to be among the first hit by the invasive non-native species, which may be able to cross the Channel from France.
The hornet arrived in France in 2005 and could reach England soon, according to the House of Commons Environmental Audit Committee (ECA) report on invasive, non-native species.
Queens are typically up to 30mm long, whereas worker bees grow up to 25mm. They have an entirely dark brown or black velvety body, bordered with a fine yellow band.
The hornets have a toxic sting which can potentially cause anaphylactic shock and kidney failure. The "highly aggressive" hornets are a predatory species and pose a significant threat to other native bees, wasps and pollinators.
The ECA report discussed the Asian hornet as part of a new blacklist of invasive alien species being drawn up in order to limit environmental and ecological damage across Europe.
The Non-native Species Secretariat (NNSS) is helping the Environment Agency and Natural England to develop Rapid Response Plans for species, as well as contingency plans for the arrival of the Asian Hornet, according to the report.
Britain has already implemented an alerting system for the Asian hornet. Those who believe they may have spotted the species are asked to email pictures and details of the sighting to the NNSS.
On its website, the British Beekeepers Association has warned anyone who finds an active hornet's nest not to provoke or disturb it "under any circumstances".
A spokeswoman from the Department of Food, Environment and Rural Affairs (Defra) said after the ECA report was released: "This report recognises we have the most advanced approach across Europe in tackling the threat of invasive non-native species, helping identify and prevent the spread of plants and animals that don't belong here.
"Through targeted surveillance, working with industry, voluntary groups and the public as well as strict controls at the border, we are able to take swift action on the ground, including eradication, or if not possible, containment.
"We keep our approach under review and are working with European partners on measures to strengthen the response across borders."Reuse content

Find a solution. The payment system on my current project interacts with a third party tax vendor, and this vendor needs a unique id from our system for each transaction. This id needs to be unique for our entire organization - at least for the account created. At some point, a decision was made to just use the integer autoincrement id column from our order table as this unique id. This decision blatantly coupled the autoincrement id column of a per environment db table to an external third party system. I am sure there was a reason to do this at the time, although I don't know what it was. Without knowing the circumstances, I can't be upset with those that made the decision. I can however be upset that it was never fixed. Instead it was 'managed.' I think you can follow along here where this is going.
So, for all of our dev, test, and release environments (about 25 with dev machines) we need to have a unique order id when placing a test order - of which we do a lot! Any time an order is submitted, if there is a duplicate order id, the request fails and we get a semi cryptic exception, the client says something bad happened, and you can try again.
This ended up spawning the following:
This is absolutely insane, and I had to FIGHT to get this fixed. Oh, and telling someone using the system to "just push submit a couple more times to see if a new id works" should never be business as usual.
But I win my battles by attrition apparently. There was only one person left that thinks this is somehow ok and was willing to fight me on it this time, but I won. No more ADD. His argument was "ok, we can fix it, but not by using guids. We can set up prefix and suffixes per environment in config and tie in build numbers, blah blah blah. This is just an INTERNAL problem." He continued to tell me that the financial department needs to look up these transactions and investigate them, etc, etc, and sometimes you have to just tell people to deal with crappy software and push the button again and ignore the errors in the log. He proceeds to tell me I am trying to solve a problem which is internal only and has nothing to do with the business, and by making the proposed change I am involving the business and will freak people out when they see a guid appended to the order id and separated by an underscore.
Again I am dumbfounded and ready to strangle and maim. While I agree that guids are ugly, this mentality is the reason teams and projects fail - the fear of collaboration and the fear of being wrong. This problem is indeed a business problem. It was always a business problem, as we are wasting resources and time managing a problem that could be fixed in a day. I can't even begin to calculate the time and money wasted on this poor implementation. With no other evidence I could easily say this stopped being an internal problem the moment we coupled the details of our internal systems to a third party vendor service.
Moreover, I actually walked down the hall and TALKED to the finance dept and people who do the work. They have never in fact investigated any single transaction, but would like to be able to search on the order id, rather than type or copy a guid into the vendor's application. I agree and this is a completely logical request, so I go back to my desk, log in to the vendor's system, and verify that the search is intelligent. When I type the order id into the search field and hit enter I am returned the correct records even with the appended Guid. The guid is saved into a separate ExternalReferenceId column, and hidden from every part of the application - it will never be seen except for in the vendor's system, and then it can be ignored. No receipts or summaries changed in any fashion. I verified everyone was ok with the change, and 6 hours later our system was rid of this dependency.
No more managing ranges of numbers, no need to manage environment based prefix/suffix combos in config files, no need for a new employee to spend 3 hours troubleshooting a known but not relayed issue, no need for anyone to have to remember this when prepping a new employee, no need to make unsupported claims about the needs of others without talking to them, no need for builds to get and reseed new databases, no need to ignore and not translate known cryptic messages, and most importanly, no need to lose faith and undermine the morale of all using the system by telling them to just 'hit the button again' and see if it works.
I am not purporting that this was the best or only solution, but it was a solution that didn't create more waste and in which everyone had a say. Software is built by people for people. Losing sight of this is a losing situation for all. All problems are business problems. Solve them.
Yeah, so I haven't posted for over a month. I have excuses though: I had a new release go out the door at work, studied for and bombed a midterm, discovered Dexter, mostly finished a bathroom remodel, and was sent to an Azure training workshop in Redmond. It has been a crazy month. I guess I can always blame Willy, but that is just a copout.
I flew into Seattle three weeks ago, and I was supposed to drive down to Vancouver, WA, and visit a friend of mine who had recently moved out there. When I arrived, it was of course nasty rainy, and decided to not make the trip, as I had to study for a midterm and get some work done on the release we were working on for that following Thursday. I called him up to cancel, and turns out he hadn't actually arrived in town yet, and was still in fact driving the UHaul accross Idaho - this seemed great to me since although I wouldn't see my friend, I wouldn't feel that bad because he wasn't there yet. Then I received a text a few minutes after the conversation - "Goonies never say release and school."
You see, the other reason I was visiting him was to drive to Astoria, Oregon - home to the Goonies and the only state in the lower 48 I haven't visited west of the Mississippi, (and the only others are in the opposite corner in New England). I've always wanted to see where they filmed the Goonies, and it is Astoria, so I figured why not kill three birds with one stone and take a drive this trip. And then I decided to bail. By the time I received this text, it was almost 1pm, and I was at the hotel in Redmond. The likelihood of being there again any time soon was not good, so I said F*@# It! and headed out the door. Three hours later I was enjoying a frosty beverage at the very cool Rogue Brewery pub on pier 39 in Astoria debating my strategy for plundering Willy's treasure. After I finished my tasty stout, I continued my tour around Astoria, climbed the column, checked out the town, and was headed over the bridge up the coast on my way back to Seattle. The sun finally came out and I had a wonderful afternoon.
And I bombed my final. Not due to the road trip. It was in fact all of about 8 hours start to finish and I was back at the hotel by 9pm. No, I failed my test because I couldn't remember fairly basic algebra. As my very bright and talented Iraqi professor tells us in during class, "Math is like a bag of tricks, and the more tricks you have, the more you can do." Well, my bag is really quite empty these days. I haven't felt quite this dumb in a long time, and I was a Math minor! Granted I have not had a math class in nearly 12 years, but when I started the Master's program, I didn't think I would have a problem. Well, I have run through some new exercises trying to help my wife through her Math Accuplacer, (she is going back for her Master's in Education), and now that she has passed that, I will be running through her "Teach Yourself Algebra Visually" book front to back to play remedial ed. Talk about a humbling experience. Sheesh. Pulled out my calc books as well. It is going to be a fun summer...
- Don't tell them you can get five developers in India of the same quality or better for one of their salaries...
- Don't tell them that the recent exit of talent is a "net positive," especially if you have not had much direct contact with the team (two or more degrees of separation)...
- Don't remain silent. Don't ignore their concerns because you think you know everything - we know you are wise to be where you are and we know you have reasons. Please give feedback rather than say nothing. Please attempt to help your team understand your decisions - transparency is key to trust...
- Don't tell them "4 Weeks!$!%# I used to be a programmer and I bet I could do it in 2!"...
- Don't tell them object oriented programming is a bunch of hullabalhooey and is largely unnecessary. (If they are working in oo languages anyway)...
- Don't make ridiculously [false] general statements without qualification - i.e. "well, we cancelled retrospectives because no one thought they were valuable." Please take action when 15 people appear before you claiming the opposite of your statement...
- Don't tell your senior staff who the right candidates for new hires are without listening to the people doing the work. Don't tell your team to hire the most techically qualified senior devs available, even if they are not team players nor will ever share the team's principles. Don't tell them that this is ok as long as they will write their code as an api that you can just consume and never have to actually interact with the developer...
...Or don't pretend you are Agile. Or that you have the faintest clue.
Working agreements are simply a set of protocols for how a development team will behave. I like when a team explicitly defines and posts working agreements in a common area. Not everybody does - I've seen decent teams that think it is too fluffy, and gets into "personal issues" which tech people tend to ignore. I have also seen once good teams descend into madness because they couldn't deal with personal issues or resolve even the simplest conflicts.
I think all teams should have a defined set as a backup, and I think they aid in many areas:
The first time I used working agreements was when I was on a team for a new project where the team was formed from the individuals of three different legacy subsystems. The systems were in different technologies, and the backgrounds of the developers was very different. We could not come up with many things that everyone could agree on, but we started with 4 agreements, and we were off and running and almost immediately the team had an identity - albeit small - but better than non-existent. At each subsequent retrospective we would check in to make sure the set was still applicable, and update accordingly. When I left we had about 10 agreements in place, which was definitely progress.
I am currently in a situation where I am trying to get my team to establish a set, which I think will help us for three reasons:
Without further adieu, here is a list of where I like to start with possible agreements. Of course, the set of agreements is never set in stone, and should be revisited at every retrospective to make sure it is still in line with the team. These are neither comprehensive nor prescriptive and are highly contextual - also, they are in no particular order. One last note - from my experience if you don't post them where everyone can see them, they will be of limited value.
My preferred minimum set of agreements:
I also like to have the following:
What agreements do you like to have in place?
Every so often I'll start a new position and upon arrival find that it is very difficult to get the entire system running locally on my machine. I am not talking insane enterprise systems even - the last two positions have been fairly similar in architecture, consisting of 2-3 web sites, 2-3 databases, a set of services, and a couple of queues. This isn't terribly large. There is usually out of date documentation on how to get the system running locally, but some times not even that. This does not bode well for the first day warm fuzzy, and generally is foreshadowing the state of their deployment and CI practices. Flat out - I think it is an essential practice for developers to use their own sandbox while developing. This is nothing new, but seems to be overlooked continually. This practice has many benefits, including minimal time between code and test, isolated testing, and easy debugging if required, not too mention all the developers on the team generally understand more of the sytem when this is easy to do and practiced. When I see that this is easy to do, I also get the feeling that someone actually thought about the architecture in terms of how they were going to test it. To run a local sandbox, this would mean coding and testing against all components locally - all sites, services, and databases. On my current team, everyone has done this at some point in time, but only about half do it consistently. The reason for this, and at most shops, is that it can be a daunting task to keep a local environment in check. To do this effectively, all code bases must be kept up to date, compiled and deployed locally at will, and all config settings must be set to run locally. All data repositories must be scripted and quick to deploy, and not necessarily required in my opinion, but nice to have, is a nice set of accurate seed data. (I'll post on that topic separately.) This is how I choose to work, and is not how everyone needs to work, but I think if you try it you will not want to work any other way. In the spirit of eliminating waste and to aid in making this always possible, I create local build scripts that will allow instant get latest and compile on all local code bases, a method of runnning the sites and services instantly, and a solution for the nightmare of config management (specifically .NET app and web config files when dealing with many environments). The config management post will have to wait another couple of weeks, but here is the first entry in this series. Local Build ScriptsI create a set of build scripts that anyone on the team can use - of course the dependency exists that all paths are local from a source root. Since I mostly work in .NET, mine are created using MSBuild and I provide a set of batch files as runners (you can use powershell if you prefer). You may kick them off from the command line using msbuild, with your favorite hotkey or command-line runner, or by clicking on the batch files. I use SlickRun as my command line runner, so this is the method I choose, and around which I built what I currently consider my optimal solution (which of course changes twice a year or so). For example, if I want to get latest on the WPF client for our current product and build it, all I have to do is hit Windows Key + W, then type "build client" into the window, and voila, done. To start the client, all I have to do is hit Windows Key + W, and type "run client" into the window. Now I have a freshly compiled version of the latest source running on my desktop without ever opening Visual Studio. Then I just continue testing my service code change, or whatever it was I was doing. About the build scriptsEach build script will get latest for its source, and its dependencies, i.e. Tools, Library, common, etc. where needed. The default build is incremental, and the source is not cleaned - output folders remain for each subsequent build. I have the option to 'rebuild,' which simply means nuke everything and get a completely fresh copy and build from scratch. Each build is captured in its own log file created in a sub folder ".\Logs" should any debugging or errors be encountered. The build window will also remain open waiting for the user to 'press any key' to exit, so no quick close with errors. As for the scripts, I include one each for each solution which represents a major component (i.e. website, service, db, etc.), and one for each database deployment, and one full script, which will get latest on everything and build the entire system. I usually only run the latter as incremental, but can do a full rebuild - this is where you want to get a refill on the coffee. In the spirit of CI I tend to run the latter at least twice a day as well. Also, in the latter, I tend to not deploy dbs by default, just get latest and run an incremental build for expediency's sake. Using the build runnersThere are at least four ways to run the builds:1. MSBuild from command-line2. Batch file from command-line3. Batch files from explorer4. Command Utilities
MSBuild from command-lineYou can always run MSBuild from the command-line on the project file, which is just annoying but useful, and you will have to add your own logger if desired. The default target and param set-up will work just fine by calling the project directly without any additional command line params. Batch file from command-lineYou may also just run any of the batch files from te command line. In addition to a batch file for each project, I created a master build batch file which will run any of builds by accepting the project name as a parameter. The master batch file is BuildLocal.bat. Call this file passing the name of the build file to run, excluding extensions. i.e.">BuildLocal.bat client" will run client.build.proj with logging. Batch files from explorer or hotkey appDouble click the individual runners for a build. You cannot use the master with this method, but must click on the build you want to run. i.e. Clicking on Runners\BuildClient.bat will get latest and build the client. If you are using a hotkey app or command-line runner app which does not support parameterization, you can assign these files as the target. i.e. My keyboard has 5 hotkeys, and I could assign the hotkey "1" to the BuildClient.bat, and all I would have to do is hit the "1" key. There is only a target which will be run when the key is executed. Command Runner UtilitiesUse a command-line runner which allows passing params - these are like the built in Windows runner (Windows Key + R), but with more power. I use SlickRun. SlickRun starts anytime I press "Windows Key + W." I use this to run just about everything on my pc - you can get more info at their site. SlickRun supports "magic words," which are simply defined shortcuts for executing something. I set up a magic word, "build" which when run calls the bat file "Runners\BuildLocal.bat" which also takes a single parameter, which is the name of the build file up to the ".build.proj" extension. So, typing "build client" will run the "build" magic word using "client" as its param, which in turn just executes the BuildLocal.bat file passing the value "client" as described in option 2 above. This is just faster. CaveatsI am not capturing the output from the tfs get operation to fail immediately if there are conflicts. I plan on adding a feature that will detect this issue, then attempt to auto-resolve the conflicts, and then fail if they cannot be auto-resolved. I generally only run into this with configs, which we'll deal with shortly, and when there is crazy refactoring involved - and then it is on check-in, so we are already in Visual Studio. I also have a script I use that will blow away my local copy of source (full source clean) and then gets a fresh copy from source. I will do this if I am getting conflicts on a project in which I have not worked for a while. Next up -> Running the applications locally without Visual Studio. Coming Soon -> Local config management (Actually, all config management)

So we lost our dev manager back in December. We have been slowly trying to find a replacement, and have seen some good candidates. One good thing about this is that how often is one in this glorious position where you have the ability to choose your direct superior? (Or at least provide insight into the process.) In this event, what kind of questions do you ask someone to make sure you want them to be your boss for the next few years? What qualities do you want the candidate to have - what would you want to get out of the relationship in terms of coaching and guidance? What kind of manger do you *think* you would, or at least try, to be?
I'd like to know why she chose management. I'd like to know what she thinks about the industry and how she arrived at her current mindset. I'd like to know what her management style is and why it is so? Who was the worst boss she has ever had, why was the boss so terrible and how has she avoided the same pitfalls? I'd like to know what she thought was absolutely the worst idea and then came to find out it wasn't such a bad idea having walked in their shoes for a while. At the same time I'd like to know who she admires and how she tries to emulate that person.
I'd like to know what kind of team she wants to manage? If she was a dev again, what kind of team would she want to be on? Are they the same? I'd want her to describe the worst person she had ever worked with, what she disliked about that person, and what she learned from their mistakes.
I'd like to know if she plans on developing at any time and how much knowledge she wants of the system. Will she veto design decisions, and if so, based on what? I'd want to know how she feels about slack. I'd like to know what she thinks about taking on technical debt, who has the responsibility for taking it on, and how she plans to pay it down once accepted. I'd want to know her thoughts on the importance of project vision and how she would attempt to manage divergent visions when encountered.
What are her feelings on Agile and practices therein? What is her approach to testing? How about lean thinking - does she understand and apply lean principles (eliminate waste, create knowledge, build quality in, defer commitment, optimize the whole, deliver fast, and respect people)? How does she describe the team roles (if using scrum), product owner and scrummaster in particular. What are her thoughts on a self organizing team? What working agreements would she subscribe to?
I'd like to know how she would describe the perfect sprint and release - what that even means to her - and some examples if it has ever happened. I'd like to know the same about her worst failures - what could have been done differently and how they worked to make sure it didn't happen again. I'd like to know what format she prefers for retrospectives and the value she sees or does not see in them. I'd like to know what she is doing to actively improve herself and how she pushes her teams to do the same.
We also just shed the majority of our team - all through quitting - no layoffs. I'll save that story for another post, but I guess I'd add the following to the interview: How would she stop people from wanting to leave their position? How would she attempt to motivate a team which is flailing? How would she deal with massive turnover? How would she start trying to grow a new team? What is her idea of an ideal candidate? How would she attempt to grow trust amongst the team? And of course, the milllion dollar question - what is her approach for integrating an offshore team?
When she doesn't know the answer, what does she do? What is she doing for her own personal development? Does she blog? Does she actively follow any blogs, journals, or newsletters, and if so - whose? What was the last book she read having anything to do with her professional career?
Of course, I think many of the above questions are not her responsibility at all. I think the onus lies on the team for most of the above, but the team needs guidance and coaching. I think that hearing answers to the above should provide great insight into the candidate's thoughts and abilities. My ideal candidate would probably not have answers to all of these questions, and if she did, I hope those answers were highly contextual. I would love her to say she doesn't know but would be glad to look for answers with the team. After all, that is what it is all about right - inspect and adapt?
What would you look for?
So this weekend I was dropping off yet another round of stuff at the local ARC thrift store, and not getting much time to myself these days, I decided to stop in for a few minutes. Not only did I find a gently used Melissa and Doug double-sided easel for my girls, I scored what appears to be an unopened Domain Driven Design by Eric Evans in pristine condition for $6.99!
While I have read the distilled version available in pdf form from InfoQ, I have always wanted to dive into the full version and see what nuggets of wisdom I missed. And now I can. Lucky me!
I simply couldn't bring myself to title this blog entry "Hello World." You will have noticed however that after fighting the temptation I gave in to at least saying it in the first sentence. I wonder how many first blogs are titled hello world by developers. I suppose the reason I don't want to use the phrase is that it seems so cheap to just type it. There is a certain sensuality seeing the words output to the screen or written to a file while trying out a new language or technology that typing 11 key strokes just does not deliver. Regardless, the spirit of the phrase is what I want to celebrate here: the anticipation of discovery and the joy of learning something new.
This blog is serving a few different purposes for me. I want to:
So before we start this journey, a few words about me. I moved to Denver in 2004 from Chicago. Prior to the move I worked on mostly small web sites and software prototypes for small businesses. I also did quite a bit of tech support and sys admin work, not to mention bartending, catering, and managing coffee shops and outdoor retail stores. The move to Denver really was the start of my technical career, but all my previous work travelled with me in the form of human factors - usability, teamwork, and management practices. I have had the good (and bad) fortune to work at 8 companies [including 6 startups] and on about 20 different projects since I moved to Denver. The projects have operated under the guise of many different methodologies including RUP, good old waterfall, and various flavors of Agile. I have participated in both successes and failures, and some successes where the companies still failed. I say good fortune regardless of the failures because I have met some extremely talented people and have learned more than I would have ever expected by seeing what not to do. While all of the startups (and a couple of the bigger players) are now gone, the relationships remain, as well as an abundance of material to write about. Even setting up this blog today I outlined the first 16 entries.
When it comes to creating software, I am all about getting things done - but in a clean, collaborative, and well tested manner. Philosophically and in practice I am definitely an agilist and consider myself a burgeoning software craftsman. When it gets down to it, I absolutely love what I do. There are not many careers where you can get paid to solve puzzles all day. In this blog I am going to write about agile practices, teams, and my idea of great software. I will explore issues we are facing every day and problems I am working through. I am hoping to place a great deal of emphasis on what it is to be a great team, as this is the most important thing I have arrived at thus far. Great teams deliver great software. This rings true every time - the only successes I have witnessed all started with a great team.
As of right now, I am committed to writing at least one entry a week. Hopefully I will deliver more right out of the gate, but I am a full time software engineer at a shrink wrapped multimedia publishing software company, I am pursuing my MS in Computer Science, and when not working I am usually chasing my amazing 23 month old twin daughters - so we shall see how it goes. I hope you enjoy reading this, and I will try and deliver great content for discussion.
My name is Josh Maletz, and I am an agile software engineer living and working in Denver, CO.

Wisconsin's Joel Stave expected to miss rest of the season
|Joel Stave is looked at by trainers after breaking his collarbone. (US Presswire)
Wisconsin coach Bret Bielema confirmed that freshman quarterback Joel Stave suffered a broken collarbone against Michigan State on Saturday. Stave is expected to miss the rest of the season.
Stave suffered the injury on the second play of the second half when he was sacked by Michigan State's William Gholston. The Badgers led Michigan State 7-3 at the time, but the offense managed only 29 yards of total offense after Stave left the game and lost 16-13 in overtime.
Danny O'Brien, the transfer from Maryland who began the season as Wisconsin's starter, replaced Stave during the game. That doesn't mean O'Brien, a junior, will start Wisconsin's next game against Indiana on Nov. 10.
With the Badgers on a bye this week, Bielema said O'Brien and senior Curt Phillips will split time with the first team in practice this week.

Are you often bothered by those "annoying someone", who always poke their nose into your secret contacts and messages? If you hate peepers, and want to get rid of hackers or any "annoying someone", this app is designed just for you—Tiger Messenger.
The entrance interface is designed as a normal calculator of iPhone. It is a brilliant disguise, and no one would ever doubt it. Just type in your password with any combination of numbers and calculation notations to enter (as long as the sum is your password number), and you can start the app.
Within Tiger Messenger, you can switch to secure mode and normal mode easily. Under normal mode, all the protected contacts and messages would not appear. As for contacts, Tiger Messenger would auto-import all the contacts from iPhone. You don't need to enter contacts one by one.
Also, it provides free chat and file sending function, as well as invisible function. However, the coolest thing is that you can set expire time for the message you sent, if the recipient does not open it before expired, the message would self-destruct. It can make sure that your secrets would not be discovered by someone else, pretty cool, huh? Just try it out!

Tropical Fish Keeping - Aquarium fish care and resources (http://www.tropicalfishkeeping.com/forum.php)
- Freshwater Aquarium Equipment (http://www.tropicalfishkeeping.com/freshwater-aquarium-equipment/)
- - Air Pump (http://www.tropicalfishkeeping.com/freshwater-aquarium-equipment/air-pump-9697/)
Air Pump
I like air. My current pump isn't cutting it.
I was thinking about getting this beast:
Super Luft Pump
The Coralife Super Luft Pump produces a high-pressure output perfect for protein skimmers, ozone/oxygen reactors and other high-pressure/high-flow devices. Also suitable for limewood and other airstones, foam filters, corner filters, under-gravel filters, and air-driven ornaments, especially in deep-water applications. Each pump includes an adjustable 4-outlet metal valve, vibration-dampening rubber base for quiet operation, heavy duty, powder-coated aluminum housing and a one year limited warranty.
I can't this in any local stores to hear it. I don't want to get a loud pump. Has anyone seen or heard of this pump before?
Well that one should run pretty much any tanks air you need and then some. I know someone who has a similar one, I will see if I can find out what the model is, and he has never complained about it being loud.
That would be great!! Thanks!

For all those who will be attending... I think a lot of us will be especially interested in your impressions of Red Wine Audio's new version of their Corvina HPA. I understand it will have both single-ended output and balanced output - to improve it's peformance with both low impedence and high impedence phones.
It will reportedly be especially great with Audeze and HiFiMan phones driven out of the balanced output.
I'm particularly interested in how it drives "new version" Senn HD580 / 600 / 650's / 800's, as well as Grados, ATH's and Denon's.

Send Rem to the Dentist
$2,775 of $2,775 goal
I am making this page for a good friend of mine who is always generous with everything that she has, though that is not much. She has had severe tooth pain for a year now and has been taking Ibuprofen every day since November, which is extremely dangerous for her liver and only helps a little bit, but the pain is too severe for her to handle without it. Well, she finally found a low cost dentist who would give her an exam for cheap so she could find out everything that was wrong and get an estimate of the cost.
When she walked out of the
dentist's office with the verdict and the estimated cost, which was over
$4,000, she sobbed uncontrollably. She found out that she has two
severe infections, a root canal that is so extreme it will require small
gum surgery to remove some of her gums, four of her wisdom teeth need to
be extracted and one will require surgery to dig it out of the bone, she
needs six cavities filled, and she needs a deep cleaning that will
require them to numb her entire mouth because her pain levels are so
The total that she was given is over $4,000, and that does NOT include the medicine that she needs to cure the infection, the numbing, or the pain medication that she will need afterwards.
Rem works a minimum wage job and $4,000 is half of what she makes in a year. She has no health insurance and even low income and sliding scale dentists can not make her dental work affordable.
Looking at
her smile you wouldn't think that anything is wrong. Knowing her and how
generous she is with everything that she has, you wouldn't believe that
she needs someone to take the time out to be generous to her. She
touches the lives of people who meet her, she truly does.
So please, please. Anything that you have, even if it is just a dollar, WILL make a difference! She is even applying for credit cards (although getting rejected due to not having enough credit history) and facing major debt because she cannot take the pain any longer.
ALL of the money raised will go directly to paying for these bills. She can post bills, receipts, and photos as she goes through the process of fixing her teeth.
I can't thank you all enough for your help, I really don't know how I would've done this without you. There's just no way I can think of that is a sufficient way to say thank you, the amount of generosity I've been shown is incredible. I plan to pay it forward, every cent, no matter how long it takes.
Thank you to everyone who helped, either by donating or signal boosting or just sharing some kind words. It all helped so much, thank you!
This is a video that Rem made, explaining her situation and thanking those who spread the word and those who donate.
"I'm not expecting anyone to help, I'm just hoping that there are people who will," she said.
"I am going to post updates regularly...I will post pictures of receipts and paperwork and anything that I can to show that this is what this money's going for because I'm not trying to abuse anyone's help."
If you cannot donate, please help by spreading the word! And thank you to those who have donated. Your contributions, big and small, are all so appreciated, you have no idea! Five dollars may not seem like a lot, but in the grand scheme of things it does make a difference and we appreciate everything. Don't feel that your amount is less appreciated, because that is not the case! Again, thank you all.

Fittings: The Last Freak Show - the new piece from Graeae, the UK's leading theatre company for disabled people - reclaims this least politically correct genre of entertainment (and one of the most controversial features of disability history) for its own subversive ends. Alive with raunchy, taboo-shattering wit, the piece challenges the able-bodied to "glimpse your perfect world in the mirror of our imperfections", while exuberantly unsettling such neat category distinctions.
With an implied swipe at those giant "body beautiful" figures that will symbolise the human race in the Dome at Greenwich, Fittings is set in a tent on the eve of the millennium, a date which allows it to be the ultimate freak show in more senses than one. Performed with huge flair, the characters are shown as struggling against the tide of history.
How can such entertainments survive in a world where, on the one hand (as the script puts it) "You can get midget porn and people fucking amputees on the Net" (to say nothing of watching Jerry Springer) and on the other, genetic engineering threatens the self-respect of the disabled by screening out, as undesirable, their potential successes. As the chimes of midnight strike, and the company reflect on whether the Virgin Mary, mother of the last, somewhat freaky millennial baby, would have had a scan and termination if they had been "available to her", the mood is highly ambivalent.
The decision to tour the piece in a tent arose, the cast told me, from the desire to spread the company's nets wider than the reliably liberal- minded ghetto audiences to whom they normally play. When we met, they had just had the educative experience of mounting the show at the Glastonbury Festival where the price of admission was included in the cost of the overall ticket. This resulted in stoned punters wandering in and out - some disappointed that it wasn't a "real" freak show ("which is ironic because, of course, it is a real freak show", laughs Robson), others hovering outside in scandalised disbelief that such events were still legal - but most compelled to stay by the mordant games the show plays with our impulse towards voyeurism and Schadenfreude. This coming Friday, Fittings pitches camp at the Edinburgh Festival for a run at the Pleasance.
The performers talk of how the disabled live in "a one-way mirror world". Walking down a street, there's the doubly estranging sensation that everyone is watching you and yet no one is prepared to catch your eye. Hence, as one of the characters declares in the piece, a post-modern freak show is, ironically enough, the safest context these days for a freak. The public would gawp even if they hadn't paid for the privilege, so why not dictate the terms of their voyeurism? The show floats the traffic-reversing concept of the "Medusa stare". "I maybe ugly, but I'm not stupid," argues the birdwoman, "and I know what people come here for. They don't come to look at me, they come for me to look at them. It's the Medusa stare. They want to survive it."
The idea of freaks exploiting the power of their position rather than themselves being exploited may seem a bit of a paradox to people whose perceptions have been formed by the heartrending story of poor, abused John Merrick, the eponymous Elephant Man. "But while we were researching the history of these shows," reveals Garry Robson, "we discovered that star freaks were, in fact, often major players in the entertainment industry, calling the shots and commanding massive sums. Many retired as very wealthy people to specially established freak communities." Two of these Victorian- era superstars - Chang and Eng Bunker, the original Siamese twins - are invoked in the show. Joined at the stomach, though very much not of one mind (Chang was a teetotaller, while Eng adored his beer and fags, which led to murderous fights), the pair became a major attraction in Barnham's circus, and amassed a fortune by going independent. Marrying a pair of sisters on whom they fathered a dozen kids, they divided their week between neighbouring ranches.
Dramatist Mike Kenny won the Writers' Guild best play award for Stuck, his drama for teenagers about the twins. It was this piece, plus the fact that he had worked with Graeae's artistic director Jenny Sealey before, that led to his being brought in to develop and author the very funny and near-the-knuckle script for Fittings. The experience of writing Stuck was enormously helpful, Kenny reveals. For example, his original intention with that play had been to write about the dual sides of the personality, to use disability as a metaphor in precisely the way that is caustically mocked by the characters in Fittings.
Another thing he learned about was form. Instead of pretending that you can tell such a mind-boggling real-life story straight, he put it in the mouth of a bearded lady who really wants to be talking about herself, and uses the twins to smuggle in her own preoccupation. That character was, in a sense, a surrogate for Kenny and an honest acknowledgement of our impulse to project ourselves on to any situation. "The process tends to become the play in my work," he laughed.
This spirit gives Fittings a marvellously free-wheeling and uncensored feel: it takes on board objections and contradictions as it goes along, bringing out the animosities between the freaks and baiting the audience in teasingly provocative numbers such as "Schadenfreude" - a ditty which cheekily turns the tables on voyeuristic smugness in the final verse: "We have never ending stocks/ Leave when you like, there are no locks/ You won't offend us./ Look at me, I've got two cocks./ Whoops, I think I've just enjoyed a/ Little bit of Schadenfreude."
As one of the lines in the song points out, there's no single word that means the opposite of this feeling. Turn the concept of Schadenfreude inside out, and you come up with something that could perhaps be distinguished as a covetous and unmerited identification with the place of others. Do the disabled also find themselves on the receiving end of that? To roars of delighted laughter from the cast, I find that I've launched into a shamefaced confession, recalling how, as an industriously self-pitying child, I consciously envied people with disabilities. How I wished that I had some clearly defined physical handicap that I could get moral credit for, instead of a diffuse sense of grievance that rules out Brownie points.
An amused Garry Robson reassures me that I'm not on my own where this syndrome is concerned. "When we were researching Fittings, we came across an article about a guy who wears callipers at the weekend for that very reason. He likes the attention, the focus and the fuss... The Man Who Pretends to be a Crip". It sounds like a play. Indeed, with the insight it would afford into those areas of human nature which are thrown into relief at the tricky points of contact between the abled and disabled world, it sounds like prime material for Graeae.

Over the past three years, the Homegirl Café has experienced significant growth and success, with more than 40 young men and women now employed as trainees or as leaders in the café and urban farms. As our employees recognize their strengths and gain experience, many move to "trainer" positions where they are supervisors and mentors for our trainees. There are currently twelve of these female leads in the café. Retention in the café has been consistently over 70%, compared to a 75% recidivism rate for most young offenders in California, and several young men and women have moved to outside employment. The café and its training program, led by Chef Pati Zarate and managers Erika Cuellar and Shannon Smith, have become a model for Homeboy's other social enterprises.
Homegirl Café has adopted a motto that applies not only to the high quality food that we serve, but also to our approach to mentoring young women as they work toward a better life: "Grow. Prep. Serve."
Through education about the origins of fresh food, organic food production, composting and local food, we empower our trainees to seek healthy food resources in their own communities as well as encourage their friends and families to join them. As we continue to grow, we look to new initiatives that will strengthen the café and the young people who work within it

8 eggs
2 Tbsp thickened cream
1/2 tsp truffle oil
1 Tbsp unsalted butter
1 bunch asparagus
4 Tbsp ricotta
1 Tbsp chives, finely chopped
Toast, to serve
Salt and white pepper
In a bowl, whisk together eggs, cream and truffle oil and season.
To prepare the asparagus, bend the base until it snaps at its natural breaking point. If you have a mandolin, shave the asparagus from the base upwards, leaving the tip intact. Alternatively, place the asparagus on the edge of a chopping board and use a vegetable peeler to shave it. Make sure to keep the handle off the edge of the board, so you can shave down nice and low.
Heat a large non stock saucepan to medium and melt butter. Cook the asparagus for 30 seconds, stirring constantly, add the egg mix. Continue to cook, stirring, until the eggs are just set, then remove from heat and stir in ricotta.
Serve immediately with toasted bread, and top with freshly chopped chives.

I.es remained to the end a fiercely loyal fan of the San Antonio Spurs, LSU Tigers, and the Houston Astros. A devoted husband and excep- [email protected] Harvey C. Bradney Harvey C. Bradney, dedicated husband, family man and retired soldier, passed away in New Braunfels, on Dec. 29,2010. He was 84 years old, Mr. Bradney was bom on Nov. 24,1926 in Gould, Arkansas, and was the oldest son of Harvey Clartmce^d Frances Bradney. He graduated from Lake Village High School before enlisting in the United States Army in 1946. tional father, he was the first to sacrifice for the benefit of his one true love, Connie Coxe Brooks, and their six children. I he loved he shared with them will forever remain in their hearts. The son of Lester Morton Brooks and Harriet Talbot Brooks, I^s (Buddy) was born on Feb. 20, 1924 in New Orleans, La. on top of this grandmother's dining room table. He was the second of two children, his sister, Anna Rita, was 5 years older. Very close to his sister and his parents all his life, he was blessed with a large extended New Orleans family rich with great aunts, uncles and cousins too numerous to count. Les attended Jesuit High School in New Orleans, served in World War II in the Army Air Corp., and graduated from LSU in the school of Petroleum Geology in 1948. He worked in the petroleum exploration for 38 years. His career began in New Orleans working for the Texaco Oil Company, but after four short years he moved to the El Paso Natural Gas Company in El Paso, Texas. A devoted son of New Orleans', in 1960 he did the unexpected and unheard of that time. He left the city of his birth and moved to the Company's headquarters in El Paso. He would remain with El Paso until his retirement having spanned the globe with his search for oil from the Gulf Coast of the U.S. to Peru to Ecuador to Australia to Pakistan. He met the love of his life at LSU, Connie Coxe, a young coed studying journalism. In 1948, they married 18 months after their first date and soon began having a slew of children — six in all. Les' work would take the family to live in El Paso, Texas, Paris, France back to El Paso and finally for only the youngest child, Midland, Texas. Ever the explorer, in work and in play, in the 1960s he took advantage of living in Europe. He gathered his family of eight into a small European sedan and set out to discover the cultural riches of Switzerland, the Loire Valley, Madrid and Italy. In 1986, Les retired in Midland, Texas. Two years later they moved to Canyon Lake. They bought a house with a view of the lake, a boat, and never again did they lack for company. In Canyon Lake, Les and Connie became active members in St. Thomas Catholic Church and soon found a wonderful church family, especially with those who were daily communicants. Les joined the choir, having been part of the choirs in El Paso and Midland. He became a Eucharist minister. As his own physical ability began to wane, he grew more empathetic to the plight of those who could noti leave their homes. He very much enjoyed bringing the Eucharist to those who were shut in. Many times, he would stay long after giving them communion and simply visit with them. Ihere was hardly a Sunday morning when he wasn't picking up a parishioner for Mass. As a member for many years and president of the Lion's Club in 1989, he was passionate about their mission to help the blind. For fun, Les loved bridge, golf and watching professional football. He was a consummate bridge player, enjoying online bridge on the Internet. In his later years, he embraced technology accessing stock reports online and communicating via e-mail. Les was always willing to learn. Les' life was full and richly blessed. What we will remember most of I,es is his love of life, his generosity of spirit and most importantly, his unfailing belief in the reality of Christ's love. We will never forget him. He is survived by his wife of 62 years, Connie Coxe Brooks, their children Richard Brooks and his wife Nora, Anna Roed-er and her husband, Ron, Donna Archer and her husband Tom, Lester Brooks III and his wife Giulia, James Brooks and his wife Barbara and Mary Sallman and her husband Steve. His grandchildren and their families include Catherine and Dean Giuffre, Carolyn Brooks, David Brooks, John Roeder, Cecilia and Chris Farmer, Thomas and Heather Archer, Charlie Archer, Allyson Archer, Madeleine Brooks, Joss McK-ernan, Rory and Angela McK-ernan, Warner Sallman and Mary Alice Sallman.

During his distinguished military career, Mr. Bradney rose to the rank of Chief Warrant Officer 4 and was a veteran of the Korean War. In 1950, then Sergeant Bradney was awarded the Silver Star for gallantry during the conflict. Mr. Bradney retired from the U.S. Army in 1972, after more than 26 years of service. His civilian career took him to such places as Los Angeles, Lake Tahoe and finally Texas, where he lived in El Paso, Alpine and for the last ten years, New Braunfels. He enjoyed traveling, good conversation, golf and a Wild Ttirkey with his friends. Mr. Bradney is survived by his wife Marguriette Bradney of New Braunfels, brother Marvin Bradney and wife Betty of Charlottesville, Virginia, and sisters Harvetta Bradney of Montrose, Arkansas, and Elizabeth Irish of Dexter, Missouri.

More Paris Puzzles
Paul Craig Roberts
Some people who are not inclined to believe the official story of the Paris attack are troubled by the question why Muslim suicide bombers would blow themselves up for a false flag attack. The answer to this question is very simple. But first we should dispose of the question whether suicide bombers did blow themselves up. Is this something that we know, or is it part of the story that we are told? For example, we were told that during 9/11 passengers in hijacked airliners used their cell phones to call relatives, but experts have testified that the technology of the time did not permit cell phone calls from airliners at those altitudes.
To dispose of the question whether we have or do not have any real evidence that suicide bombers blew themselves up, I will assume that they did.
So we have suicide bombers blowing themselves up.
Now turn to the question that troubles some doubters: Why would suicide bombers blow themselves up for the sake of a false flag attack?
As I said, the answer is simple: Why assume that the suicide bombers knew who was organizing the attack? There seems to be abundant evidence that ISIL is a US creation, one that is still dependent on US active or passive support—thus the conflict between Putin and Washington over attacking ISIL. ISIL seems to be what Washington used to overthrow the government in Libya and afterward was sent by Washington to Syria to overthrow Assad. Obviously, Washington has ISIL infiltrated. Washington has long proven is ability to use Islamic extremists. As Washington used them in Afghanistan against the Soviets and in Libya and Syria against independent governments, Washington used them in Paris. By my last count, the FBI on 150 occasions has successfully deceived people into participating into FBI orchestrated "terror plots."
Now let us move to some bigger questions. Why do terrorists attack ordinary innocent people who have neither awareness of "their" government's actions or control over them? The victims of 9/11 were not the neocons and members of the Washington establishment, whose policies in the Middle East justified attacks on their persons. Ditto for the Boston Marathon Bombing, and ditto for the Paris attacks. Innocents were the victims, not those who have taken Muslim lives.
Historically, terror attacks are not on the innocent but on the rulers and those who are guilty. For example, it was the Archduke of Austria/Hungary who was assassinated by the Serbian terrorist, not ordinary people blown up or shot down in a street cafe.
It is interesting that terrorists attacks attributed to Muslims only fall upon ordinary people, not upon the political elites who oppress the Muslims. In past years on several occasions I have remarked in my columns on the total vulnerability of the neoconservatives to assassination. Yet there has been not a single attack by terrortists on a neocon life, and the neocons are the source of the violence that Washington has unleashed on the Muslim world. The neocons walk around without threat free as birds.
How believeable is it that Muslim terrorists take their ire out on innocents when the President of France himself, who has sent military forces to murder Muslims, was sitting in the attacked stadium and could easily have been eliminated by a suicide bomber?
Now let us turn to questions of identification of the alleged "Paris terrorists." Is it realistic to suppose that the millions of refugees from Washington and its European vassals' wars in the Middle East have passports? Were these millions of refugees expecting to be driven by White Civilization's Bombs out of their countries and thus had prepared themselves with passports in order to flee?
Did they write on their passport applications that they were going to be visiting Europe?
Was the beleaguered country, their homeland, under full military assault, able to process all these millions of passports?
What sort of dumbshit Western media goes along with the passport story — a media well paid to lie for Washington's hegemony and crimes?
One final question for skeptics. Where are the photographs of the terrorists during their terrorizing? Surrounding the scenes of violence there were not only abundant security cameras, but also hundreds, even thousands, of people with cell phones that have cameras. With all of these photos, how is it possible that the authorities do not know if some terrorists escaped, and if so, who they are and what they look like? Why are the authorities relying on fake passports for photos of the terrorists?
Terrorism has been unleashed in the Western World, and it is the terrorism of Western governments against Western peoples.

Patch v1
r=wtc. When I looked at the code closely, I found that this
patch isn't necessary because when the crmf_init_encoder_callback_arg
call in crmf_encode_popoprivkey fails, derTemp.data has been set to

the side effect of a function on failure. But this means we don't
need to check this patch in on the NSS_3_11_BRANCH.
Since the severity of this bug has been lowered to "code
cleanup to improve maintainability", it should not block
any bug. I also suggest that we just check it in on the
