Alongside Daniels' daft penguin, ostrich, caterpillar and cat are more serious approaches: Jean-Luc Benard's zoo project, Lu Jeffrey's close-crops of farm animals, which reveal just a fleeting limb or hoof, and Tim Flach's dramatic black-and-white studies of more ferocious breeds (lions and panthers). Even Jack Daniels sometimes earns his danger money: 'I was setting up a shot of an eagle owl in Scotland and was peering to get a good look into its yellow eyes when it suddenly went for my face. It missed, but I learnt to keep my camera in front of my face.'

NEW YORK -- Roger Clemens arrived at Yankee Stadium a little too late to see the dustup.
Josh Phelps slid hard into Kenji Johjima, throwing an arm into the Seattle catcher while scoring the first run in New York's 5-0 victory over the Mariners on Sunday.
Jarrod Washburn hit Phelps in the back with the first pitch to him in the sixth inning, and umpires warned both dugouts for the second time in three days. Yankees reliever Scott Proctor followed with an inside pitch to Yuniesky Betancourt with none on and two outs in the seventh. Betancourt pointed his bat toward the mound, catcher Wil Nieves grabbed him, and the benches and bullpens emptied -- but no punches were thrown. Proctor and Yankees manager Joe Torre were ejected.
Clemens announced his return during the seventh-inning stretch, speaking to fans from the owner's box as a crowd of 52,553 at Yankee Stadium and hundreds of thousands watching on television looked on.
Phelps singled leading off the fifth and advanced when Washburn (2-3) walked Johnny Damon with two outs. Phelps, whose left arm hit Johjima's left shoulder, said he was running hard on Derek Jeter's single to beat a throw from center fielder Ichiro Suzuki and put the Yankees ahead.
"I was determined to do whatever I had to do to score that run," Phelps said. "I had to be aggressive, and that's what I did. I'm rounding third base and I know he can throw with the best in baseball. You don't have time to think it over. I saw him squatting down like he was going to receive the throw. I'm not going to let him just tag me out."
Phelps appeared to have a clear path to the plate without making contact with the catcher.
"I was kind of surprised because I had the plate open for Phelps to run right through it," Johjima said through a translator. "Maybe he was a little excited because he had a base hit."
Betancourt thought Proctor's pitch to him was out of line. Proctor wouldn't go into details when asked if he expected to be fined or suspended.
"What happens, happens," he said.
Because he was ejected, Torre didn't get to see how his players reacted when they learned -- along with the fans -- that Clemens had rejoined the Yankees.
"I missed the fun of the whole thing, didn't get a chance to witness it," Torre said.
Before Clemens' announcement, Darrell Rasner pitched the way the Rocket hopes to.
Rasner (1-1) threw first-pitch strikes to 15 of his first 18 batters and 17 of 22 overall. He struck out four and walked two in 5 2/3 innings, combining with four relievers on a four-hitter in New York's first shutout of the season.
Rasner was brought up from the minors to make the start, and the Yankees had planned to send him right back down. After the game, Torre said the Yankees would wait until Monday to make a roster move to open a roster spot for Matt DeSalvo, scheduled to start the series finale.
Hideki Matsui got his 2,000th professional hit as the Yankees won for the fifth time in six games after losing eight of nine. The sixth-inning hit originally was scored an error on left fielder Raul Ibanez, who allowed the fly ball to drop on the sunny afternoon, but later was changed to a double. It gave Matsui has 1,390 hits in Japan's Central League and 610 more with the Yankees, gaining him entry to the Golden Players Club for Japanese players with 200 wins, 250 saves or 2,000 hits.
"Matsui and I were joking on the bench, which one of our 2,000th hits was worse, his or mine?" Jeter said. "At least I had to run for mine, a little dribbler to third base. His was a ball the outfielder lost in the sun and it just fell in."
- Washburn gave up three runs and seven hits in 5 1/3 innings.
- Bobby Abreu also hit an RBI single in the fifth, and Nieves added a run-scoring grounder in the sixth. New York added a pair of unearned runs in the seventh when Abreu hit a run-scoring double off Chris Reitsma and scored on Matsui's single. The runs were unearned because of a throwing error by Adrian Beltre on Jeter's leadoff grounder to third.

2004 Corton Charlemagne Louis Jadot
Cs (12x75cl)
Cs (12x75cl)
0 immediate, 1 marketplace
Average critic rating : 93.0 points
A background touch of pain grillé highlights green apple and spiced pear aromas that precede massively rich, intense and sleekly muscled full-bodied flavors that display almost painfully pungent minerality and a strikingly punchy finish. This isn't quite as classy as the very best in the range but this is a huge wine that retains near perfect balance. I've had some genuinely great vintages of this appellation chez Jadot and the 2004 could challenge them. Allen Meadows, Burghound, Jul01,2006.
Half bottle. Oxidised with a bruised apple character leading to dried-out fruit on the nose. Palate is also oxidised with caramelised / Madeirised notes that suggest some contact with warm temps. Lisa Perrotti-Brown, In Asia # 0310, Mar 2010
Louis Jadot: The Importance
Maison Louis Jadot is highly commended by Robert Parker, who calls them "probably the best run negociant firm in Burgundy" and writes that "one can be almost certain that a Jadot wine from Burgundy, from whatever part of their enormous spectrum of wines, including those of villages level, will possess clarity of flavour and a site-specific distinction." Antonio Galloni and Allen Meadows also regularly give top scores to Jadot.
Due to Burgundy's intracacies, Premier Cru and Grand Cru wines from Louis Jadot are no less rare or sought after than their counterparts from smaller growers, meanwhile the quality tends to be much more reliable because of the scale of their operation and their extraordinary range of terroirs and climats combined with expert winemaking and vineyard management.
Louis Jadot: The Insight
Robert Parker says that "it is hard to single out individual stars in the illustrious Jadot nebula, but their long- keeping Pinot Noir from the monopole Beaune Clos des Ursules (part of the Vignes Franches premier cru) is something of a flagship, and the Jadot Musigny and Jadot Chevalier -Montrachet Les Demoiselles frequently represent the summits of Jadot artistry." This last wine has also wowed Allen Meadows, who calls it "without question a reference standard example of a great Chevalier. The purity, elegance and sheer beauty of this wine is frankly difficult to adequately describe as words just don't seem up to the task."
Counting Grands Crus alone, Jadot have Chardonnay plantings in Corton Charlemagne, Corton Grèves and Corton Pougets as well as Le Montrachet, Chevalier Montrachet, Bâtard-Montrachet, Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet and Criots-Bâtard-Montrachet making some of the finest white Burgundies on the market. The Grand Cru list of reds is no less impressive, featuring Bonnes-Mares, Chambertin, Chambertin-Clos de Bèze, Charmes-Chambertin, Chapelle-Chambertin, Mazis-Chambertin, Laticières-Chambertin, Griotte-Chambertin, Clos de la Roche, Clos de Vougeot, Clos Saint-Denis, Echezeaux, Grands Echezeaux, Musigny, Richebourg and Romanée-Saint-Vivant.
According to Robert Parker: "there is no Jadot house style, save for rich, well-delineated, structured wines that stand the test of time." The incredible range of quality wines produced by Jadot in every kind of cru is best understood in the words of the legendary technical director Jacques Lardière: "There are so many great wines made in the less well-known villages, and if people want to find great value and great wines, it is very, very possible if they will look beyond the most famous appellations. All it takes is a little imagination. Look at the hill of Corton for instance- we have Corton Pougets, Corton "Grèves and a Corton rouge that are all fantastic wines – deep, structured and beautiful expressions of their underlying terroir. Or look at a wine like the Savigny-lès-Beaune Clos des Guettes or Pommard "Rugiens – just great wines year in and year out!"
Louis Jadot: The Background
Jacques Lardière retired in December 2012 but then almost immediately got back to work setting up the Résonance in Williamette Valley, Oregon. The current face of the winery Frédéric Barnier worked alongside Lardière for several years before taking over, just as a generation ago Lardière himself apprenticed under the renowned André Gagey.
Skills have been handed down at Jadot since 1826, when the Domaine was established as one of the earliest Burgundy negociants. After the Second World War, the domaine benefitted from investment by American importer Kobrand. This partnership was negotiated by Rudoph C. Kopf, who founded the prestigious wine importing company in 1944 and headquartered its offices in the Empire State Building. Kopf already commanded the respect of the American market, having set up the fine wine department at New York City's iconic department store Macy's. Kobrand helped Jadot to continue acquiring prestigious Burgundy domaines, some of which are still referenced on labels today, such as Duc de Magenta, Gagey, Ferret and the recently successful Château des Jacques in Beaujolais.

Dentistry allows me to serve and care for the well-being of others in a way that I know really makes a difference. I am not only able to contribute to making brighter smiles but improving the quality of lives, as better oral health leads to greater overall bodily health for my patients. My patients and their families make each day interesting for me. There are stories and anecdotes, and laughs. Real friendships form, between my patients and myself, and there is always something to learn from each of them. For me, it is great being a part of a team and working together with others on a common mission. The patients here come first. The office is warm and inviting but also fun. You can tell that people are happy to see us and their genuine smiles mean the world to us. This really is the greatest profession in which to be involved and the best people with whom to work. We do hope you will choose us to care for your and your family's smile needs.Read more

Thank you once again for opening your condo to our family.The condo was all you sad it would be and more. Ninoska and the entire staff were very accommodating and pleasant. They helped us to find excellent dining options as well as activities on the island. Bernadette served as an outstanding host. Her kindness, efficiency, and housekeeping skills were superb.
We had an awesome time in St.Marten and hope to visit again in the near future. when that time comes, we would like to contact you and rent the condo again if it is available.

The photographs don't do this property justice. Overlooking the sea, with a view of St. Bart's, everything was as advertised. We had a wonderful week in St. Maarten/St. Martin. Oyster Pond is located right on the border between the Dutch and French sides of the island, a 10-15 minute drive to Phillipsburg and a 20 minute drive from all the restaurants in Grand Case. We also enjoyed visiting the local creperie and enjoyed meals at Big Fish, Mr. Busby's, and Beau-Beau's. This condo is well-maintained and the owners appear to be conscientious and available. There is a current seaweed problem on the beaches found on the entire Atlantic side of the island (yes, even on Orient Beach), but hopefully that is temporary. There was ample parking on the property, even if you did occasionally have to park some distance from the unit due to high season volume. Overall, a wonderful experience; we hope to return some day.
We were fortunate to stay a third time at this wonerful and beautiful place. Very comfortable apartment with daily sight seeing view. Anyone who considers to visit St. Martin this is the place to stay and do not doubt you will enjoy it every moment!
This review is a long overdue.
My wife and I had the pleasure of staying in this wonderful apartment yet again this past spring. I do realize that the host was dealing with personal health issues in her family but yet was in full communication at all times helping us with many facets of our trip as she did the first time.
I also want to thank her as I personally got very sick in the evening before our flight and we had to change departure dates to one day later. We contacted her in the very early morning and she was outstanding in permitting us to stay an extra day without any charge.
I can't say enough about this host and this great property. She has been outstanding to deal with both times we have ventured to St. Maarten.
We can't wait to go back someday.
My family & I stayed at this condo for three nights in mid-April 2015 and had an awesome time! The rooftop deck is incredible - we loved it and spent most of our time there. The hot tub/dipping pool was very nice. I hesitate to call it a hot tub because it did not really get hot enough for that, but it was still very enjoyable. The pool also has a swim/wave feature but it was not working. The view from the roof top deck (as well as from all balconies) is spectacular - out over the ocean with the islands in the distance and over the pool. We also used the BBQ grill twice and it was cool to be able to stay on the roof to cook & eat. The rooftop deck also had a refrigerator which was convenient, plenty of places to sit/lay, as well as multiple tables to eat/drink.
Regarding the condo, it was very nice, in excellent condition, and very clean. My son enjoyed the clean "pine" smell in the condo. The condo is in the very new section of Oyster Bay Beach Resort so everything in the condo is new. My son slept on the foldout couch and he thought it was comfortable - as much as a regular bed. We appreciated that the resort provided a large package of tools to us when we checked in so we had plenty of beach towels for the entire stay. The kitchen had everything we needed and the bathrooms were large and had enough hot water for all three of us to shower. The televisions had many American channels which was also nice and the wifi in the unit worked pretty well, even on the rooftop (although a weak signal).
We hope to return one day!
Joined by another couple, we enjoyed 5 fabulous nights at the OBBR in late April 2014.
The condo was perfectly suited for 2 couples. The bedrooms were quite large and the bedding/ mattresses were hotel quality. The kitchen was fully stocked with all of the utensils and dinnerware you could ask for. The bathrooms were more than adequate and linens/towels were plentiful.
The location was great. Easy to cab to Grand Case, Orient Beach or Philipsburg for dinner/ beach.
But lets face it..the selling point of this condo is the rooftop pool/kitchen. The roof was completely private day,... and night, and you had great views of St. Barts on even the cloudiest of days. The pictures do not do the rooftop pool justice. You could easily get your sun up there all day while enjoying your own beverages from the kitchen.
Irene was very attentive to all of our requests prior to landing. She replied almost always on the same day and was extremely easy to work with. We could not have been happier with her service.
A great place to stay and we someday hope to be back! Thanks so much Irene. This review was easy to write.
We spent 10 days with another couple in St. Martin using this condo as our home base. The location was excellent. It was a quick trip to any part of the island (I advise having a car). Orient Bay was 15 min. to the north, Philipsburg about 15 min. to the south. Plus the location kept us away from the cruise ship traffic. Dawn beach was nice and not real busy. We were able to get 4 beach chairs together every day. Restaurants on site and within walking distance were all good. Drive around the bay to the french side to Dinghy Dock, it was one of our favorites. The roof top deck with hot tub / lap pool was awesome. Great view and totally private. The condo was perfect for 2 couples but would be comfortable for 6 very easily. Unit was clean and the staff at Oyster Bay Resort was very accommodating with any request we had. Irene, one of the owners, was very pleasant to work with. Thanks Irene.
Secluded but accessible beach resort on the Dutch/French border of St. Maarten. Enjoy casinos and gaming on the Dutch side, fantastic dining and white sand beaches (clothes optional) on the French side. Adjacent to Oyster Bay Marina and mile-long Dawn Beach, with dozens of restaurants within a five minute drive. Ferry to St. Barths from marina, hiking in nature reserve, para-sailing and ocean sports within 15 minutes drive. Windward side location provides refreshing sea breezes while protected beaches provide great sun bathing and swimming. Perfect!

The genius of Jim Henson took many forms over the years, from the educationally driven Sesame Street to the frantic pace of the sketch show-inspired The Muppet Show to the musical, lesson-teaching Fraggle Rock. To some degree, all of Henson's shows hold appeal across the age spectrum, but Fraggle Rock strikes that balance between kid-friendly and fun for the adults the best.
Sesame Street is pretty much strictly for the young ones with its simple educational lessons and The Muppet Show can skew a little older, with its guest celebrities probably meaningless to kids and wit that likely goes over their heads. But Fraggle Rock is different. The simple morals can easily be understood and the songs are infectious. It's difficult to imagine any kid not enjoying the show. As an adult though, it's not hard to watch five or six episodes in one sitting, regardless of whether or not there are kids around. I marvel at the fact that I forget I am watching puppets every time I watch a Henson production – the construction of the Muppets and the enthusiasm of their operators make the experience far transcendent above that of a mere puppet show.
Fraggle Rock ran for five seasons on HBO from 1983-1987, and amassed a total of 96 episodes over the course of the run. The Complete Series Collection includes every one of those episodes plus a slew of bonus features on 20 discs. Seasons four and five, both half the length of a regular season, have been combined and are represented here solely as season four.
There has been widespread criticism across the Internet about the Fraggle Rock Complete Series Collection, and at this point, all the complaining seems completely warranted. The first three seasons have already seen separate DVD releases, but the fourth season (in reality, four and five) is only available as part of the complete series. As of now, there have been no announcements about a standalone season four release. Naturally, most people who have purchased three separate seasons already would not want to buy or be able to afford a complete series set that's going to cost them close to $100. For completists, there is no issue, but to not even offer a separate season four release for everyone else is unacceptable.
Yes, this places the shadow of a huge caveat over the rest of this review, but the set deserves to be judged apart from this information.
The Fraggle Rock Complete Series Collection is an outstanding set; whether you remember the show from your childhood or are looking forward to introducing a new generation to the show, it's perfect. I look forward to sharing Fraggle Rock with my children someday. At the rate children's programming appears to be devolving, this DVD set may be a very necessary resource by that time. The quality of the episodes speaks for itself, and the morals that deal with common childhood issues like fear, responsibility, friendship, and selfishness are integrated nicely among the fun songs and silly Fraggles.
The Complete Series Collection is packaged in a binder with a plastic front made to look like a piece of Fraggle Rock. The front certainly looks nice, although the thin plastic feels rather flimsy – this probably isn't a set you'd want kids handling if they're not careful. Inside the three-ring binder, the discs are packaged in cardboard pages. Two discs are inserted into sleeves on one page, while the reverse page shows episode information. It's not the sturdiest way to hold the discs – quite a few slipped out during shipping – but for a set this size, it sure is an efficient use of space. Included with the set is an illustrated map of the Fraggle universe.
On the special features front, the set doesn't disappoint, carrying over all the special features from the individual season sets and adding a number of new ones. For each season, there is a disc of special features, and each one is loaded with interviews from all of the principal actors and many crew members. Several promos from the original run on HBO are spread across several discs. There are many in-depth making-of featurettes focusing on different elements of the production, the highlight being a nearly hour-long documentary hosted by Henson himself. The final special features disc includes excerpts from the last day of shooting and the wrap party for cast and crew.
If it weren't for the lack of a separate season four set, I would give an unreserved recommendation for the Fraggle Rock Complete Series Collection. As it stands, Lionsgate Studios and Hit Entertainment have made a big mistake by only making the final season available in this set.Powered by Sidelines

Criminal (2016) WEB-DL 720p [850MB]
Download Criminal (2016) WEB-DL 720p [850MB]
When industrialist-turned-anarchist Xavier Heimdahl arranges for his associate Jan Stroop- a hacker known as 'the Dutchman'- to create a wormhole program that would allow the owner to bypass all computer codes protecting the world's nuclear defence codes, the Dutchman panics and attempts to hand his secret over to the CIA. He makes contact with London-based agent Bill Pope, but although Pope is able to get the Dutchman to a safehouse and recover the money to pay him for his services, he is caught by Heimdahl's men and tortured to death before he can tell anyone where he hid the Dutchman.
Desperate to find the Dutchman, Pope's CIA supervisor Quaker Wells contacts Dr. Mahal Franks, who has developed a treatment that could theoretically plant the memory patterns of a dead man onto a living one. Keeping Pope's brain stimulated to preserve its knowledge, Franks requests that convict Jericho Stewart be the subject of the procedure, as Stewart's criminal behaviour is the result of childhood brain trauma leaving him with an underdeveloped frontal lobe, hindering his emotional development and impulse control, that they can use to 'graft' Pope's knowledge into Stewart's mind.
While the process initially appears unsuccessful, Jericho is able to escape custody while being transferred after the operation, faking his death and heading to Pope's house, where he ties Pope's wife Jillian to her bed and gags her mouth with duct tape, is able to disable the house alarms and delay an investigation of the silent alarm which Jillian manages to activate. As time goes on, he experiences memory flashes of Pope's past, but all he can determine is that the bag of money was hidden behind a shelf of books relating to George Orwell, without identifying where it or the Dutchman are kept.
The CIA becoming increasingly anxious to find the Dutchman when they learn that he is now planning to sell the program to the Russians, believing that the CIA have betrayed him. Fortunately, they are able to find Jericho after he contacts Dr. Franks for medication using Pope's CIA codes, Franks' questioning confirming that Jericho is developing emotions as well as drawing on Pope's experience. As Jericho attempts to retrace the route Pope took to hide the Dutchman, Heimdahl creates a distraction at the airport that draws Quaker's attention, allowing Heimdahl's henchwoman Elsa to try and capture Jericho, killing his CIA guards before Jericho escapes by driving off a bridge.

The same might be said of Quaglino's, Sir Terence Conran's astronomically priced gastrodome in St James's. After an agreeable private viewing at the Royal Academy summer exhibition hosted by brokers BZW, a select group repaired to the restaurant. In furnace-like temperatures, the party was kept waiting for 45 minutes for its pre-booked table before being ushered in. This hold-up - although common enough after the restaurant's opening - should have been particularly embarrassing for Sir Terence, as the great man was dining there himself at the time. We can assume he did not suffer similar treatment.
In a move that some may say should be encouraged, a group of accountants threw themselves off a cliff yesterday. Eight partners from Ernst & Young abseiled blindfold down Symonds Yat, a beauty spot overlooking the River Wye near Monmouth. The descent was in aid of the Royal National Institute for the Blind.
The accountants, who all wore their suits for the descent, were led by Peter Jenkins, the firm's top VAT partner. All got down safely to be rewarded, I understand, with a bottle of particularly good brandy.
They know how to keep it in the family at Provincial, the insurance group based in Kendal, Cumbria. With the appointment of the 34-year-old Alexander Scott as its new chairman, the insurer has maintained its unbroken family line for the best part of a century. Scott junior, who joined as a director five years ago, is the great grandson of Sir James Scott, who founded the Provincial in 1903, and the son of Peter Scott, who was also a chairman. Alexander takes over the reins from Tim Shakerly who, in spite of having the wrong surname, managed to hang on to the top job for 17 years. But then he did marry into the family.
Brendan le Morvan, Midland Bank's long-serving head of corporate communications, is going out in style. The popular PR man, who leaves the bank today after 30 years' service, is having three leaving bashes. Farewell drinks yesterday for the press will be followed today by no doubt a lengthy lunch for his department. On Monday he is due to hold a larger party for all his Midland colleagues. His future concerns are more domestic. 'I'm baby-sitting for my grand-daughter for the next fortnight,' he said.

Oh Donna -
You do make me smile! What she isn't telling you is I work at the women's
prison in an office but tons of restrictions! Inmates have more rights!
Cone flowers are from seed out "there". Bee balm Alan bought me from the
Graymont nursery I told you about! Turtle head is from you - the one I
declared dead - maybe we should rename it Resurrected turtle head! Hot
lips....ready when you are! When we do your mom's flowers? All 3 of those
are in the front perennial garden. Bee balm is about to move to the back
and some in front. It is too close to the street and Alan's mower is
endangering it? That and the "busy" neighbor who has nothing to do but wait
till I have a weed grow 4 inches high - calls village hall to report us!
WE do miss our darling Barney - golden retriever/yellow lab mix did leave a
major void but his gardening skills were....help dig and than when it is
planted - dig it back up and eat it! That is the reason for so many of the
"ditch lily"! Those were his favorite stealth area! Like a 95 pound dog
can be stealth! LOL I have started the majority of the back garden in the
perimeter security run he created. Little stinker would even check the
gates to see that they were locked and secured. He didn't want out just
didn't want anyone sneaking in on him!
Sorry rambling!
Everyone - really thanks loads...I will be busy checking all these sites and
changing the names to be more accurate!
Oh - seeds or whatever...yes...would love anything to help fill the yard -
there is an area at least 50 foot by approximately 75 to cover? Now that

O.C. gas prices pass $4, expected higher
Orange County gas prices punched past the $4 mark this week, climbing fast on a trajectory that industry watchers said would keep going up.
A gallon of regular unleaded was selling here for an average of about $4.02 on Tuesday, the highest price since early November. That was up more than a cent from the day before and up more than a quarter from last week, according to AAA's daily Fuel Gauge Report.
The run-up in gas prices has hit Southern California especially hard. Refineries here have taken down production units for maintenance as they prepare for the summer rush, analysts said. That has created enough supply uncertainty for investors, betting on risk, to bid up the price.
Northern California hasn't had as heavy a maintenance cycle at its refineries, said Denton Cinquegrana, the executive editor of the Oil Price Information Service. On Tuesday, drivers in San Francisco could buy gas for about a dime less than those in Santa Ana.
Pump prices have surged nationwide in recent days; the national average of $3.52 on Monday was the highest on record for the day, according to AAA. It pointed to higher crude oil prices and a "rubber-banding" effect in the middle of the country, where prices had fallen and now are snapping back.
The wholesale prices of gasoline – usually a good indicator of where prices at the pump are going – had shot up but seemed to level off some in recent days. Even if that holds, though, the wholesale price suggests that pump prices could reach $4.10 shortly, AAA spokeswoman Marie Montgomery said.
Gas prices usually rise during the spring and peak shortly before the Memorial Day holiday. Cinquegrana said he "wouldn't be shocked" if the Orange County price hits $4.25 between now and then.

I'm getting a lot of crashes since a few days (the switch to comm-central?) when quitting, or restarting the app. I mostly noticed them when updating to a new nightly. I submitted crash reports for most of them, e.g.
The stack contains MOZ_gdk_display_close as called from toolkit/xre/nsAppRunner.cpp:2399. So either my Gtk libs (gtk+-2.12.8) are broken or the checkin of Bug 417163 (that I see last changed that line) caused something bad. In the topcrashers I see many more crashes with just a hex signature, maybe some others also refer to similar crashes (or they are all mine), but I can't search, because the server is broken.
I updated to the newest available Gtk+ version that I could find for my distro (Gentoo, gtk+-2.12.9-r2) but it crashed again, e.g.

confirm problem
OK with this patch I at finally confirmed that the problem is the same as solved on OpenSolaris. With the patch I don't get a shutdown crash any my Linux system anymore.
So, either we leak (as in bug 403706) or we crash, both is bad. ;-)
Boying Lu: you found out (in bug 449371) about this callback on OpenSolaris. Is there something one can do automatically to find out if this callback was registered? Like, do certain X variables or versions do that?
The crash occurs here on a Gentoo Linux running libXinerama 1.0.2. This is a laptop with only one screen (it even has Option "Xinerama" "off" in xorg.conf), but it of course does have a port to plug in another one. On a SuSE Linux workstation with only one screen it does not crash. libXinerama there is coming from the xorg-x11-libs package (version 7.3-64.1).
I hope someone can deduce something from that. I'm happy to test any suggestions...

I don't know if there is any automatical way. I suggest you to read the Xinerama
related source code.
I think a quick check is removing PR_UnLoadLibrary() of the patch of the bug 449371 and make a build. Run the build to see if it crashes or not.

Yes, that's what I already did before CCing you. See comment 5 or attachment 350311 [details] [diff] [review]. It seems that on Linux one can have at least two configurations, one that crashes and one that doesn't...
I built and run the latest firefox on my ubuntu 8.10 box. But I don't see the problem.
Peter, can you tell me your build configuration and Xinerama library version? Thanks
Xinerama here is "libXinerama 1.0.2", also see comment 6.
The build that I tested most recently has the following .mozconfig:
ac_add_options --enable-application=suite
ac_add_options --enable-optimize
ac_add_options --disable-debug
ac_add_options --disable-tests
ac_add_options --disable-updater
ac_add_options --enable-codesighs
Except the --disabler-updater this should be identical to the official SM nightlies.
I added some more debugging to nsScreenManagerGtk.cpp and see that _XnrmIsActive returns true and numScreens is queried by _XnrmQueryScreens as 1. Adding a call to XineramaQueryVersion I get major=1 minor=1, despite the package system telling me that it's libXinerama 1.0.2.
Aha! On the OpenSuSE system where the program does not crash, I see that numScreens=0! Perhaps that can be used to test if we should unload or not?
Created attachment 350955 [details] [diff] [review]
possible workaround (with debug output)
The actual change is to use the original reported number of screens in ~nsScreenManagerGtk() when checking if we want to unload. But I left the debugging stuff in for now.
On the problematic Gentoo system it says here:
nsScreenManagerGtk :: Init(): _XnrmIsActive = true!
nsScreenManagerGtk :: Init(): version=1.1
nsScreenManagerGtk :: Init(): numScreens=1
mCachedScreenArray.Count()=1, nNumScreens=1
not unloading mXineramalib=0x428cb100
while on the OpenSuSE system I get only
nsScreenManagerGtk :: Init(): numScreens=0
mCachedScreenArray.Count()=1, nNumScreens=0
unloading mXineramalib=0xf2a52de0
Boying Lu, could you test this patch on your Ubuntu system and maybe on Solaris, too?

Yes. the patch works on both Solaris and Ubuntu.

cleaned up patch
OK, great, thanks. So this is ready to be reviewed, now without debugging stuff.
dbaron, as this code comes from you originally, I thought you might want to take a look. :-)
(In reply to comment #14)
> Yes. the patch works on both Solaris and Ubuntu.
can't wait it in trunk :-)
Why not just make the member variable "PRBool mXineramaIsActive"? That would seem a good bit clearer.
Created attachment 351205 [details] [diff] [review]

Yes, indeed. That also removes the weirdness of having two similarly named variables.

Comment on attachment 351205 [details] [diff] [review]
better solution
Pushed to mozilla-1.9.1:
After the fix of bug 477959, I start to see this bug again on Solaris/SPARC with Xsun.
With Xsun, _XnrmIsActive returns false.
I guess in this situation we still should not call PR_Unload().
(Bug 477959 hides this issue, since number is uninitiated in this case)
I don't know if it is Xsun only problem.
I don't have another environment that Xinerame extension is available but _XnrmIsActive returns false.
If so, we should not do PR_Unload() if _XnrmIsActive is ever called.
The easiest way is to remove all these code, because _XnrmIsActive is always called if Xinerama library is loaded. (unless the function pointer is null)
Created attachment 364486 [details] [diff] [review]
I forgot to remove mXineramaIsActive from the header file.
Comment on attachment 364486 [details] [diff] [review]
r=dbaron if you also remove mXineramaIsActive from nsScreenManagerGtk.h
Created attachment 366518 [details] [diff] [review]
patch for 1.9.1 branch
This would prevent a random crash on quit with Xsun on Solaris and perhaps other platforms.

I'm in awe of what great educators do on a daily basis — inspire kids to learn and feed their curiosity. With so much on their plate, they still push themselves to do more with mountains of obstacles stacked against them.
Take, for instance, the reader who recently sent me a note.
I am a middle level educator that thought he was on top of the technology wave. I use web-based tools like Google docs and Moodle, have my kids computing daily, and have a Promethean board going all day long. Recently, my principal (who is also on the tech wagon) encouraged me to follow some Twitter feeds. The incredible mass of people that are looking way beyond the next 6 months has me reeling! I'm excited, giddy, and as eager as a puppy to dive into this stuff. Problem is that I don't know exactly where to start.
In reading your article about what won't be in schools ten years from now, I found great thoughts. Now I want to know how to make them happen. Are there places I can turn to see what is going on in classrooms more advanced technology-wise than mine? For instance, I can almost see how we can personalize learning for all in one to one computing setups, but is anyone doing that? I know I can figure it out, but I'm pretty busy, here. Any chance you can point me in some directions?
I've been wondering that myself. For educators who want to dig in, where do they start? The vast amounts of information can be overwhelming. Is there a central repository that guides busy teachers step-by-step?
Unfortunately, no.
Eric Sheninger, the principal of New Milford High School in Bergen County, New Jersey, who up until two years ago, was completely unplugged from web 2.0, says his learning curve was steep. "You have to start small," Sheninger said. "There are so many different tools. Just take it one step at a time."
Here's a start:
- Powerful Learning Practice (PLP) is a professional networking site for teachers, and apart from moral support, they offer specific ways to dive in. In fact, this post is called "Some Tips for Getting Started" written by a teacher in Oslo, Norway, shows that it doesn't matter where you live or teach — the world is tightly connected.
- Larry Ferlazzo's useful list of websites and resources for teachers.
- Edutopia's thriving community is categorized by grades and subjects, so teachers can easily find like-minded peers and ask for advice.
- Start your own social community online or follow one, such as Educators PLN or Classroom 2.0.
I'd love to hear from other educators who recently embarked on the path to transforming their teaching practice. What was your first step?
