We've all been in a toxic relationship at some point or another. Perhaps you are in one now. So how do we deal with toxic relationships, those that involve negative, pessimistic people that trip us up? Cyndi Dale, author of the new Beyond Soul Mates, explains that the change must come from within us before we can combat our toxic relationships.

In more traditional cultures, the "wise one" is a central figure, advising all who seek answers. Today, this diverse role has been spread across a team of specialists: lawyers, doctors, public officials. This may not be the best model, however; Dr. Stewart Bitkoff, author of A Commuter's Guide to Enlightenment, explains how we can recapture our independence and spirituality by becoming our own wise one.

MIDDLETOWN - With the support of a generous gift from Walden Savings Bank, SUNY Orange will conduct a yearlong "Global Initiative: Africa" program that will foster exploration of the history, culture, politics, music and social issues throughout Africa.
This year's focus on Africa marks the fifth Global Initiative organized by the College since 2007. Previous Global Initiative programs examined Latin America, sustainability, Asia and global health.
Walden Savings Bank's sponsorship of Global Initiative: Africa is part of a recent three-year, $30,000 pledge by the bank to the College. The bank's gift will underwrite additional College programs, yet to be determined, in future years. This is the second generous commitment by the Board of Directors of Walden Savings Bank to the SUNY Orange Foundation's "Defining Moments" capital campaign. In 2007 the bank made a pledge of $25,000.
Coordinated through SUNY Orange's Global Studies Department, Global Initiative is a College-wide interdisciplinary focus on a topic of global importance. Each Global Initiative seeks to expand students' horizons, bring academic departments together in collaboration and infuse a global perspective on the College's curriculum. It is also intended to incorporate the community-at-large into the discussions.
A sampling of Global Initiative: Africa events planned for the Fall semester includes a discussion on the African Middle Stone Age; a presentation on competition by the United States and China in Africa; an African History Day; an investigation into bio-diversity in Africa; a look at novelist Harvey Swados, writer Chinua Achebe and the Nigerian-Biafran War; and a performance of the Kofi and Sankofa Drum and Dance Ensemble.

Pretty sure that's not true, I've accidently bought a pair online in women's size and it was small as hell
post #5761 of 6996
1/17/12 at 7:22pm
I was going to ask the same question about the men and womens being the same shoe since I can't find a 6.5 in the dessert boots. I might have to pick up another pair in the Original BW. The Bushacres don't really seem like leather, plus the pics of the originals just look better.
Can anyone confirm if the Bushacres are leather?
Footlocker has womens sizes for about 60$ didn't look at mens sorry
Guys Im not sure if I should go with a 9 or 9.5 in DBs. They both fit but the 9 is a bit tight in the front. My heels seem to lift as I walk with either size but i think this is normal. The size 9 also takes quite a bit longer to put on my foot.
Which size should I go with? It's leather not suede

All-In-One Computerized Scheduling Will Make Airports Greener And More Efficient
A new computerized approach to airport operations is being developed that will reduce delays, speed up baggage handling and decrease pollution.
The project is funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) and led by researchers at The University of Nottingham.
The research work aims to computerize and co-ordinate four key areas of airport operations: scheduling of aeroplanes taking-off and landing, gate assignment and baggage handling. The end result will be a prototype search engine capable of analyzing the many billions of possible scheduling combinations so as to provide the best advice to the controllers, who decide where in the airport to send planes.Currently these four aspects of airport operations are, in most cases, organized manually by highly skilled staff making decisions based on observations, reports and their experience. Furthermore, each activity is run in isolation from the others, which allows the potential for any difficulties in operations in one area to affect another. This can lead to delays snowballing.
As well as enhancing the experience for passengers, crucially, the improvements in scheduling will reduce pollution by minimizing the time planes are on the ground with engines running. This could save thousands of liters of aviation fuel every year, a vital improvement given the growth in air travel predicted in the coming years.
A consortium of researchers from four universities are involved in the project, assisted by Manchester and Zurich Airports which will provide crucial advice and expertise from the user's point of view.
The project will see development of computational models for each of the four airport operations which, ultimately, will be run on regular PCs. Key to the research will be examining how to run them all together to streamline overall operations.
Principal investigator on the project and Dean of the Faculty of Science at The University of Nottingham, Professor Edmund Burke, says the limitations of the current systems are widely acknowledged: "Many people in the industry recognize that automating just one of these aspects could improve the efficient running of airport operations, so integrating all four would be a huge step forward."
"We'll be developing a computer system that will work its way through the many billions of permutations created daily in each of these operations, to provide a much higher level of computer-aided decision support than is currently available," says Burke. This will provide the best possible advice to runway controllers and other airport staff to inform their decisions regarding where planes and baggage are moved to.
Among the crucial issues being tackled is the matter of how long an aeroplane needs for preparation on the ground before take off. This has to include enough time for the passenger safety briefing, which is a legal requirement, and for the engines to warm up. If sent to the runway without incorporating enough time for these activities, it will mean a delay at the runway before take off. This can lead to unnecessary congestion on the runway, aircraft unnecessarily using up fuel while waiting for take off, and, potentially, delays to other flights.
Burke adds that the involvement of the two airports will also provide invaluable assistance to the multi-disciplinary team of scientists and engineers: "Working closely with Manchester and Zurich airports will ensure access to real world expertise that should help us achieve the best possible result."
The academic team in the consortium consists of representatives from: The University of Nottingham, University of Salford, Loughborough University and University of Liverpool.

A laser was a directed-energy technology utilizing a beam of light, with all wavelengths equal and all particles in phase with one another. Due to this, the photon's motion was almost parallel, which allowed the beam to travel over a great distance with very little increase of the beam's square area, and therefore with little loss of energy per area. The word "laser" is an acronym for Light Amplification by the Stimulated Emission of Radiation. Lasers had a variety of uses in medicine, computers, mining, and power generation, such as fusion reactors.
Examples Edit
In 1996, both Rain Robinson and Porter mistook phaser weapons for lasers. (VOY: "Future's End", "Future's End, Part II")
Some of the first lasers constructed operated by passing light through natural crystals. These "ancient lasers" then achieved a necessary excitation and emitted a laser beam. Rubindium crystals were capable of producing a laser beam, even with only a low source of light. (TOS: "Patterns of Force")
An industrial laser cannon was used by the laborers of the Orpheus Mining colony on Luna in 2155. (ENT: "Demons")
A laser beacon was part of the Starfleet equipment issued aboard the USS Enterprise. Lieutenant Vincent DeSalle used the laser beacon to attempt to signal the ship visually from the surface of Gothos. (TOS: "The Squire of Gothos")
A nanopulse laser was an exotic piece of equipment owned by Andromedan androids who aided Harry Mudd in capturing the Enterprise. (TOS: "I, Mudd")
A tri-laser connector was a type of Eymorg tool used by Doctor McCoy when he reconnected Spock's brain in 2269. (TOS: "Spock's Brain")
Laser weapons also existed, such as the advanced laser pistols and laser cannons used by Starfleet in the 2250s, and the high-energy X-ray lasers mounted aboard Talarian warships. (TOS: "The Cage"; TNG: "Suddenly Human")
According to Lt. Sulu in 2269, the laser weapons the Federation possessed were a more advanced model than the laser setting of the Slaver weapon, and their laser had been more powerful for the last century. (TAS: "The Slaver Weapon")
The Atlec used laser weapons on their ships and once targeted them on the Enterprise-D in an attempt to acquire the Straleb Jewel of Thesia and Thadiun Okona. Picard noted that such lasers would not even penetrate their navigation shields. (TNG: "The Outrageous Okona")
When Chief Miles O'Brien introduced the game of darts at Quark's Bar, Grill, Gaming House and Holosuite Arcade, Quark failed to understand its appeal because it did not include anything like lasers or holograms. (DS9: "Visionary")
In the Julian Bashir, Secret Agent holoprogram, Hippocrates Noah deployed earthquake-causing lasers around the Earth. (DS9: "Our Man Bashir")
Pulse lasers were used as weapons by the Lysian Central Command. Like other laser devices, pulse lasers were not considered very powerful by 24th century Federation standards. (TNG: "Conundrum")
Zefram Cochrane told Commander Riker that he had a hangover either from the whiskey he drank or because of Riker's laser beam, referring to the phaser he'd been stunned with earlier. (Star Trek: First Contact)
Laser technology |
Tools: autosuture • bone-knitting laser • laser beacon • laser drill • laser scalpel • laser scanner • laser torch • laser welder • microscope laser • miniature laser • nanopulse laser • tri-laser connector |
Weapons: Artonian laser • cutting beam • laser cannon • laser detonator • laser pistol • pulse laser • x-ray laser |
Other: laser fusion initiator • laser micrometer • LIDAR • optic nerve laser welding • laser pulse system |
References Edit
Apocrypha Edit
The McDonald's video communicator comic "Votec's Freedom" suggests that Starfleet continued to refine laser technology into the 2270s, as Spock cuts a prisoner's chains with his "new ultra laser."
James Blish's conversion of "Patterns of Force" to prose form in Star Trek 12 had Kirk explain to Isak that crystalline rubindium-based laser cutting torches were not weapons, as they had extremely short ranges. Since the Star Fleet Medical Reference Manual lists rubindium as being radioactive, laser cutting torches based upon it can also be presumed to have short useful life expectancies and therefore to be useless as weapons, as prolonged usage would quickly decrystallize the rubindium in the laser element.

Canadian bacon makes a great accompaniment.
Leave a Review
I make this for breakfast Christmas morning. They ask for it every year. I don't alter the recipe. The mixture is sweet enough so I like using plain french bread.
Used only a tablespoon of cointreau. It was delicious. Never thought the combination would work.
This is quite possibly the best french toast I've ever made. Absolutely fantastic! I was going to use brioche as other reviewers did, but couldn't find any at my grocery store. Went with a nice crusty Italian bread instead and it turned out great.
Horrible. I used the full 1/4th cup of Grand Marnier and it was overpowering. All I could taste was an alcohol after taste. Probably the worst french toast I have ever made. I would try a minimal amount of alcohol and use orange juice next time. What a shame I was looking forward to this recipe since it has so many great reviews.
These were good if you like sweet breakfasts. You can definitely taste the orange flavor. Not bad at all.
Excellent! I make this at least a couple of times a year and often for Christmas morning. I cut the sugar in 1/2 and use a fruit & nut bread such as cranberry & walnut. Friends even request it when they are staying over.
Delicious! easy and fast.The whole house was filled with the most marvelous smell .
Why waste your time looking at another brunch recipe? Stop surfing the web and get into your kitchen. This recipe will make you famous. Your taste buds alone will want autographs!
Very simple, very good. I get the best results when I make it the night before and let it soak. The zing added by the orange plays very well with a mixed berry sauce that I also found on Epicurious(Challah French Toast with Berry Sauce).
And Canadian bacon does make a perfect addition!

Question: "How long was Jesus on the cross?"
"So also the chief priests, with the scribes and elders, mocked him, saying, 'He saved others; he cannot save himself. He is the King of Israel; let him come down now from the cross, and we will believe in him. He trusts in God; let God deliver him now, if he desires him. For he said, "I am the Son of God."'" (Matthew 27:41-43). Crucifixion was the method the ancient Roman Empire used to carry out the death penalty for those found guilty of a capital offense.
The Jewish theocrats, in order to eliminate Jesus and maintain their power, devised a plan to convince Roman authorities that Jesus must be killed (Mark 14:1; cf. John 19:12; 19:15). The Jewish leaders accused Christ of encouraging rebellion and proclaiming Himself as King. This is how Jesus ended up on a Roman cross rather than being stoned to death, the ancient Jewish method of execution.
Crucifixion was designed not only to kill but to dissuade others from criminal actions. Victims of crucifixion were to be humiliated, often left to hang completely naked. The cross carried a stigma, and Jewish Law said it brought a curse (Galatians 3:13; 5:11). The term excruciating literally means "out of crucifying"; crucifixion was an "excruciating" way to die because it was a very slow and painful means to death. Depending on the circumstance, some people could live for days after being nailed to a cross.
"And they crucified him and divided his garments among them, casting lots for them, to decide what each should take. And it was the third hour when they crucified him. And the inscription of the charge against him read, 'The King of the Jews'" (Mark 15:24-26). Christ's crucifixion began at 9:00 A.M., according to Mark (based on the Jewish method of calculating time). John said it was "about the sixth hour" when Pilate sentenced Jesus (John 19:14), which means John used the Roman method of calculating time (which counted the hours from midnight), so John's "sixth hour" would have been 6:00 A.M.
"Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour" (Matthew 27:45). The sixth hour (noon) until the ninth hour (3:00 P.M.) was Jesus' final three hours on the cross. At the end of that time, "Jesus cried out again with a loud voice and yielded up his spirit" (Matthew 27:50). Jesus had been on the cross from approximately 9:00 A.M. until 3:00 P.M., a total of six hours. Notice the language used in Matthew 27:50: "yielded up his spirit." Christ voluntarily gave His life as an act of His will; no one took it from Him (John 10:17-18). Oh, the riches and depths of His grace and mercy!

Mumford & Sons step up to the Palladium
Talk about a rapid rise. It was only six months ago that the English quartet Mumford & Sons was playing the Troubadour just ahead of the stateside arrival of their excellent debut, Sigh No More.
Now, after having sold out two nights at the Music Box (formerly the Fonda Theatre in Hollywood) in June and currently scoring regular airplay on Star 98 and the like with its single "Little Lion Man," the group -- whose frontman, Marcus Mumford (pictured), was actually born in Anaheim -- has stepped up to an even larger venue: the Hollywood Palladium, where the band plays Oct. 18.
Mt. Desolation and King Charles will open. Tickets, $25, go on sale Friday at 10 a.m.
That Sufjan Stevens show at the Wiltern (Oct. 23) that I mentioned just the other day? Yeah, as expected, it's going on sale pronto: Friday at 10 a.m. Also, the just-announced Gogol Bordello show won't be at Nokia Theatre but at the considerably smaller Club Nokia, across the plaza at L.A. Live. (That makes more sense.) It's still on Oct. 13, though. Tickets, $35, are on sale Saturday at 10 a.m.
More at Club Nokia: Djavan performs Nov. 5, $40-$85, on sale Saturday at 10 a.m. ... The AP Tour, featuring Bring Me the Horizon, August Burns Red, Emarosa, Polar Bear Club and This Is Hell, arrives Oct. 29, $17 in advance, $20 for VIP or day of show, also on sale Saturday at 10 a.m. (and that bill plays Oct. 28 at the Fox Theater in Pomona, $17 in advance, $22.50 day of show, on sale at the same time) ... and the T-Pain show slated for Aug. 25 has been canceled, with refunds available at point of purchase.
Somali-Canadian world-beat and hip-hop star K'naan, of "Wavin' Flag" fame," will make his O.C. debut on Oct. 26 at House of Blues Anaheim, with Paper Tongues opening, $17.50-$42.50. Also coming to the Mouse House: Mike Posner with Far East Movement, Stephen Jerzak, 2AM Club and more, Sept. 13, $22.50 ... Elefante, Sept. 25, $22.50-$45 ... the English Beat with Bad Manners, Oct. 29, $17.50-$37.50 ... Senses Fail with Bayside, Nov. 6, $16.50-$42.50 ... and Sepultura, Jan. 12, $22.50-$57.50. All of those are on sale Friday at 10 a.m., except for Senses Fail and Sepultura, which are on sale Thursday at 10 a.m.
Two of those gigs also play House of Blues Sunset Strip: Elefante on Sept. 24, $22.50 (on sale Friday at 10 a.m.), and Sepultura on Jan. 14, $25-$57.50 (on sale Tuesday at 10 a.m.). Also at the club: Four Year Strong with Comeback Kid and the Wonder Years, Oct. 22, $15 in advance, $17.50 day of show (on sale Saturday at 10 a.m.) ... and Bad Manners, in a headlining set, Sept. 5, price tba (on sale Tuesday at 10 a.m.)
Portugal. The Man will return to play Oct. 30 at L.A.'s El Rey Theatre, with White Denim and HoneyChild, $22. Also at the club: Australian brother-sister duo Angus & Julia Stone, Oct. 5, $20 ... and a fully seated evening with Japanese composer Ryuchi Sakamoto, Nov. 5, $40. All of those go on sale Saturday at 10 a.m.
And coming to the Music Box in Hollywood: Junip, featuring Jose Gonzalez, Elias Aray and Tobias Winterkorn, with opening act Sharon Van Etten, Nov. 14, $20, on sale now.

Jenise wrote:Gary, it has been interesting to watch Vancouver BC adjust to the legalization of BYOB. An initial fear of revenue loss and confusion over what to charge or even deciding if they would allow it eventually gave way to each understanding what the traffic would bear for their particular venue and, in some cases, increased traffic because of it. Restaurant prices for wine were ridiculously high and actually discouraged anyone with a wine cellar and who didn't have movie star budgets from dining out as often as they would if they could enjoy both the food they wanted to eat and the wine they wanted to drink at an affordable price. You'll probably see the same there.
Thomas G wrote:$30 to $35 seems pretty expensive, lots of NYC restaurants have corkage priced in that range or higher. In Pittsburgh it's typically $15 to $20 and most licensed establishments allow corkage except some chains.
How high are wine list markups?

Cyanide & Happiness Rejects TV Deal, Turns to Kickstarter
Cyanide & Happiness won't be coming to a television near you.
The creators behind the popular webcomic announced that they walked away from a potential deal with a cable network to turn their webcomic into a television show, MediaBistro reports.
Kris Wilson told readers that he and the other Cyanide & Happiness creators had been approached about a TV show twice before, but walked away "due to rights and creative control issues."
"We're starting to realize that TV as an industry just isn't compatible with what we want to do with our animation: deliver it conveniently to a global audience, something we've been doing all along with our comics these past years," Wilson wrote. "That's just the nature of television versus the Internet, I suppose."
The third and latest deal fell through for similar reasons.
Other YouTube channels have made the leap from the Internet to the small screen. Pop culture commentator KalebNation got his own deal for a show in October 2011, and Nickelodeon gave Fred Figglehorn his own show, and he starred in two made-for-TV-movies for the network.
Epic Meal Time shot a TV pilot for G4 earlier last year, and a TV version of the Annoying Orange now airs on Cartoon Network. The sisters who commentated on Ray J's junk in the Kim Kardashian sex tape also got a one-hour special from OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network.
However, Wilson and company still want to bring a Cyanide & Happiness Show to the web. The creators plan to launch a Kickstarter campaign to raise money for production. Wilson feels that the entertainment industry is changing and soon the Internet will be the main way people watch programming, and C&H fans are likely already on the cutting edge.
"The Internet is already the largest network, available when you think about it," Wilson wrote. "Why go anywhere else?"
Fellow web content creator and Vlogbrother John Green showed his support for the creators and revealed that he and his brother Hank have run into similar problems when approached about bringing their YouTube channel to television.
Every time we've ever talked to a cable TV network, we ask, "So who will own this thing?" And they say, "Us." And we're like, "Yeah. No."

Reply to: | Meaning of my Name by Vasheest |
There is a very old Indoeuropean root which in the vedic language had forms in vas/uS which meant to shine, be bright and good. vasu from that meant very good or very rich, riches, or desirable objects. vasiSTha, sometimes vashiSTha, is the superlative of that, though rarely connected with a different root vas which meant to love in the very carnal sense.vashiSTha was the name of a very famous holy man who appears in mythology very often. For example, he was the owner of the cow nandinI, the daughter of surabhi, who was called kAmadhenu, or the wish-granting cow. Through her, he could get any thing one desired, and was, therefore vashiSTha. The vedic mythology puts him on opposite sides to the other major sage visvAmitra, so much so that many have taken the descriptions as allegorical of two branches of vedic people fighting for supremacy in India, the resident vashiSThas and the approaching visvAmitras. He is said to be the son of Mitra and Varuna by the apsarAs and is the family priest of various major lines of kings. When the big bear was renamed as seven sages, he was counted as one of them; he is also mentioned as a progenitor in the myths that peopled the world.
The name has been common throughout the ages, and in modern Indian languages, has changed pronounciation slightly.

I'd like some recommendations, please. I'd like it to be closed over ear. It'll be used for movies, music and casual gaming like RPGs, FPSs or random indie games. The music I listen to are usually: electronica, rock, classical, jazz, and alternative. I don't have an amp, but I am maybe looking to get one for my PC in the future. That said, I'd like a pair of cans that are pretty good even without one. And, the budget is preferably under $300. Thank you guys!

Better to be wrongly called an islamophobe today, than a dhimmi tomorrow.
Pact of Umar
After the rapid expansion of the Muslim dominion in the 7th century, Muslims leaders were required to work out a way of dealing with Non-Muslims, who remained in the majority in many areas for centuries. The solution was to develop the notion of the "dhimma", or "protected person". The Dhimmi were required to pay an extra tax, but usually they were unmolested. This compares well with the treatment meted out to non-Christians in Christian Europe. The Pact of Umar is supposed to have been the peace accord offered by the Caliph Umar to the Christians of Syria, a "pact" which formed the patter of later interaction.
We heard from 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Ghanam [died 78/697] as follows: When Umar ibn al-Khattab, may God be pleased with him, accorded a peace to the Christians of Syria, we wrote to him as follows:
In the name of God, the Merciful and Compassionate. This is a letter to the servant of God Umar [ibn al-Khattab], Commander of the Faithful, from the Christians of such-and-such a city. When you came against us, we asked you for safe-conduct (aman) for ourselves, our descendants, our property, and the people of our community, and we undertook the following obligations toward you:
We shall not build, in our cities or in their neighborhood, new monasteries, Churches, convents, or monks' cells, nor shall we repair, by day or by night, such of them as fall in ruins or are situated in the quarters of the Muslims.
We shall keep our gates wide open for passersby and travelers. We shall give board and lodging to all Muslims who pass our way for three days.
We shall not give shelter in our churches or in our dwellings to any spy, nor bide him from the Muslims.
We shall not teach the Qur'an to our children.
We shall not manifest our religion publicly nor convert anyone to it. We shall not prevent any of our kin from entering Islam if they wish it.
We shall show respect toward the Muslims, and we shall rise from our seats when they wish to sit.
We shall not seek to resemble the Muslims by imitating any of their garments, the qalansuwa, the turban, footwear, or the parting of the hair. We shall not speak as they do, nor shall we adopt their kunyas.
We shall not mount on saddles, nor shall we gird swords nor bear any kind of arms nor carry them on our- persons.
We shall not engrave Arabic inscriptions on our seals.
We shall not sell fermented drinks.
We shall clip the fronts of our heads.
We shall always dress in the same way wherever we may be, and we shall bind the zunar round our waists
We shall not display our crosses or our books in the roads or markets of the Muslims. We shall use only clappers in our churches very softly. We shall not raise our voices when following our dead. We shall not show lights on any of the roads of the Muslims or in their markets. We shall not bury our dead near the Muslims.
We shall not take slaves who have beenallotted to Muslims.
We shall not build houses overtopping the houses of the Muslims.
(When I brought the letter to Umar, may God be pleased with him, he added, "We shall not strike a Muslim.")
We accept these conditions for ourselves and for the people of our community, and in return we receive safe-conduct.
If we in any way violate these undertakings for which we ourselves stand surety, we forfeit our covenant [dhimma], and we become liable to the penalties for contumacy and sedition.
Umar ibn al-Khittab replied: Sign what they ask, but add two clauses and impose them in addition to those which they have undertaken. They are:
"They shall not buy anyone made prisoner by the Muslims," and
"Whoever strikes a Muslim with deliberate intent shall forfeit the protection of this pact."
from Al-Turtushi, Siraj al-Muluk, pp. 229-230.

Not too long ago, Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw explained he had found the perfect husband for Lara Croft: Jason Voorhees. They both have way too many sequels all following a default plot, they both murder a lot and spend a lot of time underground, but most of all: none of them will ever just die. In that light, I suggest another husband for Miss Croft: Darl McBride. Instant update: Darl McBride responds. See inside.

The Galaxy FilesSystem Toolkit (GFT) allows developers to create user-level file-system extensions that are viewable through Windows Explorer. While the toolkit itself is constructed using C++ COM/ATL code, extension developers can program in higher-level strongly-typed, garbage-collected languages such as C# and Java. Thus, the Toolkit eases the development of user-level file-systems on the Windows platform. The GFT has been used with a Java file-system extension to create a Windows Explorer interface to NFS version 2 fileservers. Other examples of possible extensions include:
The Toolkit is a Windows Shell NameSpace Extension (NSE) which communicates to your custom code (the extension) via a proxy and stub pair. For a view of this, see Figure 1. The Toolkit manages a part of the Shell namespace, e.g., the Windows path "C:\Custom", and converts all Windows Explorer operations on this namespace into the appropriate method invocations on your file-system extension. For example, when a file is dragged-n-dropped onto the folder "C:\Custom", the Toolkit will first invoke CreateFile and then a series of Write calls on your extension.
The rest of this document describes the steps necessary to install the Toolkit and to create a simple extension. Section 2 covers the steps needed to install the Toolkit, while the bulk of the document, Section 3, will guide you through the creation of a sample extension in C#. Known issues and limitations are listed in Section 4, and Acknowledgements are given in Section 5.
To begin, download either the Toolkit source code or the binary installer package from the website. C# programmers will install from the source, since the source zip file contains the necessary interfaces and sample code. Java developers will typically install the GFT using the binary installer, since this procedure does not require Visual Studio.
The GFT can be installed from a Visual Studio solution file and the source code, using the following steps:
Installing from the binary involves the following steps:
At this point, you should have the Galaxy namespace extension (NSE) installed, and a sample C# Mirroring FileSystem extension running.
To explore this Mirror FileSystem, start a Windows Explorer process (Windows Key + E) and navigate to "My Computer". You should notice a new system folder called "Galaxy". Browsing to this folder should reveal two files: COPYING.txt and Subfolder. You can open the text file (the GNU GPL) and also open the Subfolder folder, as well as open the JPG file contained in the Subfolder folder. (These files are mirrors of the files contained in the folder, Test, which was distributed with the source or installed along with the binary, depending on your method of installation.)
You can try copying files to and from the Galaxy file-system, with the caveat that multiple selections are not yet supported. (In other words, you can copy entire folders, but you cannot highlight and copy two or more files at the same time.) Other caveats are listed in Section 4.
To create your own C# file-system extension, you will need to perform two steps:
In this tutorial, we will create a dummy read-only file-system extension called "RandomFileSystem", which will display random text files which are each filled with random text.
First, startup Visual Studio (or your personal IDE) and open the CSharpFileSystem solution file. Now, create a new class in the CSharpFileSystem namespace, which inherits from CSharpFileSystem.FileSystem. We will call this new class "RandomFileSystem". Give the default constructor a single integer argument which specifies how many files to display per folder.
Your code should look like the following:
using System; using System.Diagnostics; using System.IO; namespace CSharpFileSystem f ///  /// Summary description for RandomFileSystem. ///  public class RandomFileSystem : FileSystem { int myNumFiles; public RandomFileSystem(int i) { myNumFiles=i; } } }
Now, we need to implement the nine methods of the FileSystem abstract class. In each of the following sections, we will implement a method and discuss the implementation details. In the methods where we do not provide an implementation, we still return a success code of true; Galaxy's error handling is not yet robust, and thus a false return value is likely to cause a failed assertion.
This command is used for extensibility, and it allows the namespace extension to pass an arbitrary command string to your file-system. Currently, the only command that is passed is "trace", which gets passed when the user selects "Trace" from the context menu (by right clicking). We can safely ignore this, and so we give a dummy implementation:
public override bool Command(string command string) { if (command string.ToLower().Equals("trace")) { Debug.WriteLine("We should log our trace files to a log file here."); return true; } else { return false; }
This method is used for a fast-path copy so that the Galaxy namespace extension can pass filenames (instead of file contents) when it wants to copy a file to your file system. Since this is an optimization, we will ignore this method and provide the following debugging implementation (Note: You must fully-qualify the FileInfo class since Galaxy defines a FileInfo class as well):
public override bool CopyFile(string windows src, string galaxy dst) { System.IO.FileInfo fi = new System.IO.FileInfo(windows src); Debug.WriteLine("The Galaxy NSE wants to copy a file of length"+ fi.Length+" to our filesystem"); return true; }
Since we are implementing a random read-only file system, the CreateDirectory call is a null operation in our implementation.
Use the following code to implement this method:
public override bool CreateDirectory(string path) { Debug.WriteLine("We would normally create a directory with the path" + path + " at this point"); return true; }
The same goes for the create file command, so use the following code here:
public override bool CreateFile(string path) { Debug.WriteLine("We should create a 0¡length file with the name " + path + " here"); return true; }
Again, since our RandomFileSystem is read only, use the following code for delete:
public override bool Delete(string path) { Debug.WriteLine("We are being asked to delete the file "+path); return true; }
Here, we need to create a random set of files and return them. We will make use of the myNumFiles field to help us choose how many files to return. We choose each odd numbered file to be a text file, while each even-numbered file returned is a folder (i.e., a directory). Each text file is given a random FileSize from 0 to 1023 bytes. This size will be displayed in Windows Explorer, and also used by Galaxy: whenever the file is opened or copied, only the first FileSize bytes will be read.
Folders are given a size of 0, and whenever a folder is opened in Windows Explorer, this ListFiles method will be called on that path name. (Note: While we fill in all of the fields, only the FileName, FileSize, and FolderFlag are currently used by Galaxy.)
public override FileInfo[] ListFiles(string path) { Random rnd = new Random(); int num files to return = rnd.Next(myNumFiles); FileInfo[] ret = new FileInfo[num files to return]; for (int i=0;i<num files to return;i++) f ret[i] = new FileInfo(); ret[i].CreateTime = DateTime.Now; // not currently used ret[i].LastAccessTime = DateTime.Now; // not currently used ret[i].LastModifiedTime = DateTime.Now; // not currently used ret[i].FilePath = "Empty path field"; // not currently used ret[i].FolderFlag = (i%2 == 0); // even numbered files are folders if (ret[i].FolderFlag) f ret[i].FileName = ""+i; ret[i].Size = 0; } else { ret[i].Size = rnd.Next(1024); // files can be up to 1k in size ret[i].FileName = i+".txt"; // non¡folders are text files } } return ret; }
The Read method is called whenever a file in Galaxy is copied to Windows, or when a Galaxy file is opened. Since we are implementing a simple read-only random file system, we will return a random string of bytes for the read call (taking care to return only the specified number of bytes). Note that we do not keep the file size consistent across calls, and simply create a new file size in this call. Also, we make sure not to return more bytes than Windows Explorer is asking for (count), and we only return data when the offset into the file is equal to 0 (i.e., normally, the first read call).
public override byte[] Read(string path, int offset, int count) { Random rnd = new Random(); // files can be up to 1k in size int max file size; if (offset > 0) { // only return data the first time we are asked max file size = 0; } else { max file size = rnd.Next(1024); }// only return up to 'count' bytes int file size = Math.Min(max file size,count); byte[] ret = new byte[file size]; for (int i=0;i<ret.Length;i++) { ret[i] = (byte)('a'+ rnd.Next(26)); } return (ret); }
The Stat method is called by Galaxy to get file information whenever files are copied from Galaxy to Windows. We will parse the path name to determine if we are being asked for a file with a name containing the string ".txt". If it does, then we know that the path refers to a file. Otherwise, the path refers to a folder. (Since we control all file names, we can be sure that folders do not contain the string ".txt")
Note that we do not take special care to preserve consistent file sizes: the file size returned from this method is random, and is probably different from the file size returned from the ListFiles method.
public override FileInfo Stat(string path) { FileInfo fi = new FileInfo(); fi.CreateTime = DateTime.Now; // not currently used fi.LastAccessTime = DateTime.Now; // not currently used fi.LastModifiedTime = DateTime.Now; // not currently used Random rnd = new Random(); // parse the path into file and directory parts int index = path.LastIndexOf("/"); string filename = path.Substring(index+1); string filepath = path.Substring(0,index); if (filename.IndexOf(".txt")!=(¡1)) { // this must be a file fi.FolderFlag = false; } else { // this must be a folder fi.FolderFlag = true; } fi.FileName = filename; // keep the same filename fi.FilePath = filepath; // not currently used if (fi.FolderFlag) { fi.Size = 0; } else { fi.Size = rnd.Next(1024); // files can be up to 1k in size } return (fi); }
Since we are implementing a read-only file system, we ignore this method and provide a simple implementation:
public override int Write(string path, int offset, int count, byte[] buffer) { Debug.WriteLine("Explorer wants to write "+ count+" bytes into a file called "+ path+" at byte offset "+offset); return count; // pretend that we wrote all of the bytes }
A complete listing of the random file system is available with the source Zip file.
Now, we will modify the driver file Driver.cs to create our new file-system extension. Change the line (roughly line 50):
FileServer s = new FileServer(int.Parse(args[0]), new FileSystems.Mirror.MirrorFileSystem(args[1]) );
FileServer s = new FileServer(int.Parse(args[0]), new RandomFileSystem(int.Parse(args[1])));
Note that we are passing the second command line argument to the RandomFileSystem constructor as an integer. So, let's now change this command line parameter to a proper value. Select the CSharpFileSystem project, then select Properties. Change the command line params under "Configuration Properties, Debugging, Start Options, Command Line Arguments" from "8052 ../../Test" to "8052 10". This should allow up to 10 files per folder in our new random file-system. Apply the change, and click "OK". Now, build the code and start our new random file-system by hitting "F5".
Navigate to the Galaxy file system using Windows Explorer, and verify that the random file system works. You may get what seems like strange behavior (zero files, the number of files keep changing, the content of each file changes) but this is how the RandomFileSystem works! You can copy files from the RandomFileSystem, but take care when copying folders: you have a very good chance of exceeding the maximum path length of 260 characters since the depth of any folder is a random variable with unbounded expectation.
As a next step, you can read through the MirrorFileSystem file system contained in FileSystems.MirrorFileSystem.cs in the source code bundle. This is a more complete file system example which mirrors a specified folder of the local Windows file system. Be sure to change the command line arguments of the CSharpFileSystem project back to their original form.
Since, for the MirrorFileSystem, the second command line argument specifies which folder to mirror, you are free to change this to any folder that you choose. For example, you can change the command line arguments to "8052 C:\Windows" if you would like. (The first argument, 8052, specifies which port the File Server will listen to and must match the port used by the Galaxy namespace extension.)
While basic file operations are implemented (e.g., cut-and-paste, drag-n-drop), there are some limitations in the NSE which should be fixed in future releases. These limitations for Galaxy v1.0 are listed below:
The task of learning COM and the NSE interfaces was made easier by the contribution of several whom we would like to acknowledge here. First, the articles published by Pascal Hurni, Nemanja Trifunovic, Henk Devos, and Michael Dunn on the CodeProject.com website were invaluable in bringing us up to speed on namespace extensions and COM programming in the Windows environment.
The GPL'd code from Pascal Hurni on the CodeProject website and the GPL'd Amiga Disk File namespace extension by Bjarke Viksoe formed the basis for our GFT toolkit. Finally, all of the users who frequent the newsgroup microsoft.public.platformsdk.shell and, in particular, Jim Barry were helpful in finding subtle bugs in our implementation.

Great list!
But I see your "Up" and change it for a "WALL-E" and your "Sophie's Choice" for "Out of Africa" hehehe.
Oh and my guiltiest pleasure tearjerker of all time has got to be "Stepmom", you've no idea how it kills me. - 12:03 AM
- Luke said...
Shoot! And WALL-E was nearly in it (and I actually prefer it to Up) but the "married life" sequence was too hard to pass up... and I definitely considered Stepmom but felt it would be too embarrassing to admit it put me in that state. Little did I know... :)
- Andrew: Encore Entertainment said...
I'm tearing up just looking at the blessed list. He He.I think I'd trade Sophie's Choice or Bridges... for Kramer vs Kramer. I don't know, always gets me. Dead Man Walking - definitely a movie I cried for [that was LAST YEAR]. And On Golden Pond isn't sad, but it's still so bleak - in a good way. Great list.

Definitly agree with Away From Her.

Awful name, but it's a promising piece of technology. So promising, in fact, that the boss of Valve was on-hand to pat it on the proverbial back. Advertisement With the studio developing Portal 2 with the "Sandy Bridge" specifically in mind, Valve boss Gabe Newell took to the stage at the Consumer Electronic Show and said "It's a real game changer for us. This allows for a console like experience on the PC."What he likely means is that the chip, which is so powerful it combines a regular processor's functionality with that of a graphics card, goes a long way towards doing away with PC hardware specifications. If you've got a Sandy Bridge (God I hope the product's final name is less creepy to type), it's hoped that you'll be able to drop in a game and play without having to worry about your CPU, GPU, etc, just like console owners can do.
