The international trailer for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, the new David Fincher film starring Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett, has arrived. The film follows the life of Benjamin Button as he ages backwards and lives throughout all the major events of the 20th century. The film looks like a retelling of Forest Gump, but with less of the humor. Oscars for Pitt and Blanchett? We'll see.

Top Ten Stuff 'n' Things - 10/22/07
With CMJ happening in New York this week, that's all the blogs are talking about. Lucky them. Your intrepid, ridiculously-named reporter was not there, I'm just listening to music on the hi-fi, or the lo-fi, as the case may be.
10. The Dream "She Needs My Love" (from Love/Hate out Dec. 11 on Def Jam)
(stream at The Fader)
Hey, it's super-slo-mo choruses! Remember how much I love those? Combine that with Dream's songwriting skills (this is the guy who wrote "Umbrella") and you have a track that veers between sing-along almost-ballad and car stereo-pounding thumper.
9. New Young Pony Club "Get Lucky" (video)
This new wave-y track from the UK combo appeared in my Top Ten a while back already, but this video is so odd, both charming and disconcerting, I felt like it deserved a re-entry:
8. South Rakkas Crew "Crazy Feelings" (from The Mix Up on Mad Decent)
(listen at the Mad Decent site)
First I thought the bassline was from The Other Two's "Selfish," and then the chorus kicked in and I realized, that's the Jacksons. Not the Jackson 5, the Jacksons, Triumph-era. That's the trouble with samples: you suddenly realize you might actually like the original. Aack!
7. Travis Barker vs. Soulja Boy "Crank That"
Yes, this is the drummer from Blink 182 and +44, playing over the still-inescapable "Crank That." While you just want to be annoyed with him, all tattooed and rich and bashing the living bejesus out of his drums to overcompensate for being like 4'11", this is truly, unbelievably awesome.
6. Roisin Murphy "Let Me Know" (from Overpowered on EMI)
The former Moloko lead singer has struck out on her own in a somewhat typical British solo artist style: too pop to be cool, too weird to reach America. Hello, Robbie Williams! It's too bad, because this is glammy, perfectly-executed electro-disco that should be bigger than Madonna, and the video illustrates why: it can make even the most mundane moments of our pathetic lives feel special.
5. Arcade Fire "Poupée de Cire, Poupée de Son" (Serge Gainsbourg cover) (from split 7" with LCD Soundsystem)
(stream at Prefix)
Really, a troupe of monkeys in cowboy hats could cover Serge Gainsbourg and I'd probably like it, but the Fire's francophone heritage makes them slightly more qualified. It's got that patented Arcade Fire intensity, but combined with the Gainsbourgian pop brevity, it makes
well, something different.
4. Various Artists John Digweed BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix (download via BBC Essential Mixes)
While the UK DJ became known in the 90s for progressive trance a la Sasha, he's successfully navigated the changing world of dance music, and his sets feel as cutting-edge as ever. That may be because this playlist relies heavily on German minimalism, but it's put together with such skill that you can hear the crowd go nuts for the subtlest shifts in sonic effects.
3. Emily Jane White "Wild Tigers I Have Known" (from Dark Undercoat on Double Negative out November 6th)
(listen at the Double Negative site)
The Bay Area is, for sure, your home for freak folk. Joanna Newsom, Devendra Banhardt, it's like LSD residue is keeping everybody loopy. This San Franciscan singer-songwriter is acoustic, for sure, but the unpretentious rootsy piano on this track hints at the chill of PJ Harvey way more than the wood nymph spirit of Newsom.
2. Flying White Dots Into the Great Unknown (download the whole album at his site here)
The Brighton, England producer digs deep into the ambient record crates for an album that's purportedly a "mashup soundscape," but since the works that inspired it (say, The KLF's The White Room, The Orb's Adventures Beyond the Ultraworld) were themselves based on winking appropriation, and this is so dreamy and enjoyable, I can't figure out why it shouldn't be on the shelf right next to them.
1. Lil Wayne "Gossip" (live on the BET Hip-Hop Awards, 10/17/07)
When people say rap sucks live, they're often right, but this proves how edge-of-your-seat exhilarating even a straightforward performance can be in the right hands. Wayne even seems a little nervous, or maybe just intent on getting his urgency across: "It rains a lot in my city/Cause my city's cryin,/Cause my city's dyin'." Plus, each time he stops for the Supremes, it's like, wow.

My first Bernina was a 730 record that I bought back in May of 1968. I wore the thing out & replaced it a few years ago with Bernina's 1008, Love my Bernina's. Even my serger is by Bernina.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
My first Bernina was a 730 record that I bought back in May of 1968. I wore the thing out & replaced it a few years ago with Bernina's 1008, Love my Bernina's. Even my serger is by Bernina.
I also have a Bernina and love it. I bought it about 6 months after I started quilting when I realized this was something I would pursue. It was a demo, so I got a good price. I say if the LQS is close to you and you can go to them for guidance/instruction, that is a huge benefit. Check to see if they have any demos for sale.
I have three Berninas, one over 20 yrs old and I love all three. I do agree, you do not want a Bernette. The are not made by Bernina. I wonder if your dealer has a used Bernina?
Berninas are wonderful machines...be sure it is not a Bernette that is a horse of a different color. It is not as good as any Bernina.
The Bernette is total junk. The high price Bernia r really good. They have tons of neat feet. But they r really expensive. My choice would be a Janome. They have the best manuals.
No 1.... Local is good when they teach.....that's worth a lot! 2. I love Bernina's...I bought one in 1982....it's as good as the day I purchased it...Bernina is the only family owned sewing machine company left.... I personally met the President who flew into a local Bernina Dealer in the middle of nowhere from Switzerland....signed the foot petal of my old machine! 3. I have an old Singer, a brand new Bernina, an older Janome and a brand new Janome....love everyone of them....oh and a Babylock 10 needle....I don't put any company down...they all have good machines and they all have lemons..but a good local dealer that offers service is priceless....only read the first 3 posts.....here's wishing you the best on whatever you choose!
"Seeking God's guidance is the key to success... even in daily living when we learn to LISTEN!"
I think my Bernina Dealer said they had someone else build these particular machines and it did not work out for them...if I am wrong someone jump in and tell me! My cousin was looking at one and I called my dealer and asked about them...it's been a couple of years and I'm more forgetful everyday!
"Seeking God's guidance is the key to success... even in daily living when we learn to LISTEN!"
I have a Bernina I bought used, an Aurora 430. I do love it, but it is what I have been sewing on. My guess is that I would love whatever I was sewing on! I do wish the harp space was larger, but it is a great machine. See what is locally available so that you can have service and parts handy for your machine and make sure you like the dealer as well.
I have a couple of Berninas and I can't say enough about them! I love mine and would trade any of them for the world.
Mom to 2 Future Stitchers....Wife to One Great Hubby!
"Once A Phi Sigma Sigma, Always A Phi Sigma Sigma!"
I have been reading the comments on this post, and I agree, I try not to "trash" another brand. Everyone has a reason why they love their machine. So why am I sold on a Berniana? I have been sewing since I was 8 years old for 4-H. I had sewn on many different brands even my mom's top of the line Singer, as she was a singer die-hard. Every last machine I would have to fight with to sew, it was always something, the tension, the bobbin, always something. It was work to just keep the machine happy. I started sewing on my Bernina 930 and I was in heaven. Not a cough, or sneeze from the machine, if there was a problem, it was my fault and I knew exactly what it was. I made the comment to my mom shortly after my purchase, that sewing on her machine after sewing on my Bernina was like going from a Cadillac to a toyota, boy was she mad, but 6 months later she bought a Bernina 930 and was sold on them. As it has been said before, "Nothing sews like a Bernina". If it is truely a Bernina at that price, buy it, you can not go wrong. If you don't buy it but want a new machine, try different machines out, make a list of the features you want and what is you price range. Shopping for a machine is like shopping for anything else, don't be trying on, test driving, or trying out something you can't afford, only try out the ones you can afford, or you wont be happy with anything.

Planner: Calculating the Costs of Disaster Recovery
By Baselinemag | Posted 2006-03-06 Email PrintSaving for a rainy day is a good idea, but thoroughly planning for one could save your business.
Project Overview
Saving for a rainy day is a good idea, but thoroughly planning for one could save your business. As Katrina's devastation of the Gulf Coast proved, a hurricane or other catastrophic event can wipe out hardware, data, telecom, supposedly "airtight" disaster plans and even an entire company.
Fortunately for your midsize professional services firm, this project to address a worst-case disaster will happen only on the whiteboard. Your goal: Hedge your disaster recovery plan's emphasis on prevention with a clear outline of what you will do if those preventive measures are overwhelmed.
The most complete disaster recovery plan is actually a series of what-if scenarios that dictate your response at every step to a wide variety of circumstances, according to Julius Neudorfer, director of network services for North American Access Technologies in Hawthorne, N.Y. "It's like playing Survivor with your company," he says. "You've been dropped onto a desert island: now what?"
To solve the "what," start with the "who," says David Remnitz, a senior director and data recovery expert with FTI Consulting in New York. The well-being of your employees is the first priority, of course, and your emergency response will need to consider that some staff simply will not be available. Plan for a small group of top managers to lead the overall assessment by coordinating information from a dozen specialist teams that will assess the status of facilities, communications, network infrastructure, data, applications and other critical components.
This comprehensive assessment, which should be completed in five days or fewer, will direct the immediate next steps to stabilize your I.T. operations. Quickly reestablishing telecom systems is essential as your technology specialists face weeks of data recovery, application support and hardware installation.
This only-a-drill project will also help you save for that rainy day by outlining worst-case cost scenarios. The return on investment? Making sure you have a business to invest in, come what may.

BOSTON – Residents of Palmer and East Boston, Mass., voted on Election Day to reject proposed casinos in the two towns, but the developers – the Mohegan Tribal Gaming Authority and Suffolk Downs – won't give up without a fight, the Boston Business Journal reported Sunday.
Mohegan has called for a recount of the vote to reject its casino-development project in Palmer, which was quashed by a margin of fewer than 100 votes. Representatives of Mohegan said they are concerned about voting irregularities related to a potentially faulty machine.
Meanwhile, Suffolk Downs must rework its plan to build a casino on the racecourse straddling the East Boston-Revere border, after the project failed to garner support among voters in East Boston.
Both Mohegan and Suffolk Downs face the looming Dec. 31 deadline set by the Massachusetts Gaming Commission to file a formal plan.
Even if a vote recount in Palmer is resolved in Mohegan's favor, the developer may still have to compete with MGM – whose plans for a casino in Springfield received voter approval – for the sole casino license allocated for western Massachusetts, the BBJ said.
For Suffolk Downs to stay in the game, the company must draw up a new plan to position the casino only on the Revere side of the property – where a majority of voters approved the project – and find a new operator to replace Caesars Entertainment, which withdrew after meeting with resistance from the Massachusetts Gaming Commission during the background check.
If Suffolk Downs is able to submit a modified proposal before the deadline, it will compete with Wynn Resorts Ltd. and Foxwoods affiliate Crossroads Massachusetts LLC for the sole Boston-area gaming license.

We have had our server running fine for a good 18 months. One day however the server locked up to the state that I was able to move the mouse and move windows however menus etc wouldn't load. I contacted apple care support and sent off my logs but haven't heard back from them. This ended up happening multiple times and I was able to pinpoint that it was when our backup software (carbon copy cloned) that ran at the time of each crash. Each time it was when it was backing up a file inside the sus directory (software update server directory). I also ran a HD program to check the disk for bad sectors and this again crashed in the same directory. Now I have removed the directory from the backup and the server hasn't crashed. I have stopped the software update service too (before the backups ran). I am worried to why this is happening. All the drives report as fine in disk utility. The backup are running but I don't want it to lock up again for a more important directory. The only way to rectify the crash is to power cycle the server and all services are unresponsive when the crash happened. I also tried starting the mini in target disk mode and using a separate mac to clone the drive. The disk disconnected when I reached the same sus directory. I had to use disk utility to manually remount the drive as it showed as being disconnected (with the error message to go with it). Any help or ideas would be much appreciated. Jonathan
I would suspect that your HDD is going out. Two things, download black magic HDD speed test utility and get an idea of the speed at which your HDD is reading and writing. I recently had a RAID fail. The first indication was that a Windows VM refused to boot because of an IO error, but I passed it off as some windows corruption on the vm's HDD file. Secondly, a scheduled rsync backup was taking a LONGgg time to complete. In my case I had non-raided partitions on each disk, so a couple of minutes in Blackmagic showed me which disk was able to read at 150MBps and which one was only doing 10MBps. Sometimes drives limp to their deaths. If your speed tests are inconclusive, try copying that directory with ditto. Ditto has some pretty nice error handling built in and 'usually' is quite graceful under IO errors when compared to other programs. Open up terminal and type in 'sudo ditto -rsrc -V /path/to/sus/ /tmp/sus/' If the files wizzing by indicate an error, I'd probably replace the drive. (You could try to delete that directory, but I don't know that I would bother)

Whither the Microeconomic Foundations of Macroeconomic Theory ?
The debate on the future of macroeconomic theory is in full swing. Uneasiness about mainstream macroeconomics, and more in particular the ubiquitous DSGE line of research, could already be heard in some circles well before the Credit Crunch and the ensuing economic crisis. This paper argues that the present-day strand of micro-foundations of macroeconomics are the main source of failure of the latter. In section 1 we trace back the history of the call for micro-foundations. Section 2 examines these micro-foundations in more detail. Section 3 deals with the economic crisis and the crisis in (macro)economic theory. In section 4 we try to identify possible alternative approaches and paradigms. We conclude in section 5.

Rice is a C++ interface to Ruby's C API. It provides a type-safe and exception-safe interface in order to make embedding Ruby and writing Ruby extensions with C++ easier. It is similar to Boost.Python in many ways, but also attempts to provide an object-oriented interface to all of the Ruby C API.
What Rice gives you:
The source is hosted on github: http://github.com/jasonroelofs/rice
Bug tracking: http://github.com/jasonroelofs/rice/issues
Mailing List: rice@ (your first email will be used as a subscription request and dropped) libr elist .com
Building it locally from a clone of the repository is as follows:
Rice is known to work on *nix and OSX. Windows is not currently supported.
Rice does not work with any Ruby compiled with the Falcon performans patches as they make changes to some internals which Rice relies on.
Also Rice requires a Ruby built with –enable-shared and will not install properly against a Ruby with only static libraries.
Writing an extension with Rice is very similar to writing an extension with the C API.
The first step is to create an extconf.rb file:
Note that we use mkmf-rice instead of mkmf. This will ensure that the extension will be linked with standard C++ library along with the Rice library, and allow access to the Rice header files.
Next we create our extension and save it to test.cpp:
Note the extern "C" line above. This tells the compiler that the function Init_Test should have C linkage and calling convention. This turns off name mangling so that the Ruby interpreter will be able to find the function (remember that Ruby is written in C, not C++).
So far we haven't put anything into the extension, so it isn't particularly useful. The next step is to define a class so we can add methods to it.
Defining a class in Rice is easy:
This will create a class called Test that inherits from Object. If we wanted to inherit from a different class, we could easily do so:
Note the prefix rb_c on the name of the class. This is a convention that the Ruby interpreter and many extensions tend to use. It signifies that this is a class and not some other type of object. Some other naming conventions that are commonly used:
Also note that we don't include "ruby.h" directly. Rice has a wrapper for ruby.h that handles some compatibility issues across platforms and Ruby versions. Always include Rice headers before including anything that might include "ruby.h".
Now let's add a method to our class:
Here we add a method Test::hello that simply returns the string "Hello, World". The method takes self as an implicit parameter, but isn't used, so we comment it out to prevent a compiler warning.
We could also add an #initialize method to our class:
The initialize method sets an instance variable to the value 42. The number is automatically converted to a Fixnum before doing the assignment.
Note that we're chaining calls on the Class object. Most member functions in Module and Class return a reference to self, so we can chain as many calls as we want to define as many methods as we want.
It's useful to be able to define Ruby classes in a C++ style rather than using the Ruby API directly, but the real power Rice is in wrapping already-defined C++ types.
Let's assume we have the following C++ class that we want to wrap:
This is a C++ version of the Ruby class we just created in the previous section. To wrap it:
This example is similar to the one before, but we use Data_Type<> instead of Class and the template version of define_class() instead of the non-template version. This creates a binding in the Rice library between the Ruby class Test and the C++ class Test, so that we pass member function pointers to define_method() and have conversions be done automatically.
It's possible to write the conversion functions ourself (as we'll see below), but Rice does all the dirty work for us.
Let's look again at our example class:
When we wrote our class, we never wrote a single line of code to convert the std::string returned by hello() into a Ruby type. Neverthless, the conversion works, and when we write:
We get the expected result.
Rice has two template conversion functions to convert between C++ and Ruby types:
Rice has included by default specializations for many of the builtin types. To define your own conversion, you can write a specialization:
The implementation of these functions would, of course, depend on the implementation of Foo.
Take another look at the wrapper we wrote for the Test class:
When we called define_class<Test>, it created a Class for us and automatically registered the new Class with the type system, so that the calls:
work as expected.
The Data_Object class is a wrapper for the Data_Wrap_Struct and the Data_Get_Struct macros in C extensions. It can be used to wrap or unwrap any class that has been assigned to a Data_Type. It inherits from Object, so any member functions we can call on an Object we can also call on a Data_Object:
The Data_Object class can be used to wrap a newly-created object:
or to unwrap an already-created object:
A Data_Object functions like a smart pointer:
Like a VALUE or an Object, data stored in a Data_Object will be marked by the garbage collector as long as the Data_Object is on the stack.
Suppose we added a member function to our example class that throws an exception:
If we were to wrap this function:
and call it from inside Ruby:
we would get an exception. Rice will automatically convert any C++ exception it catches into a Ruby exception. But what if we wanted to use a custom eror message when we convert the exception, or what if we wanted to convert to a different type of exception? We can write this:
The handle_my_exception function need only rethrow the exception as a Rice::Exception:
And what if we want to call Ruby code from C++? These exceptions are also converted:
Internally whenever Rice catches a C++ or a Ruby exception, it converts it to an Exception object. This object will later be re-raised as a Ruby exception when control is returned to the Ruby VM.
Rice uses a similar class called Jump_Tag to handle symbols thrown by Ruby's throw/catch or other non-local jumps from inside the Ruby VM.
You've seen this example:
Rice mimics the Ruby class hierarchy as closely as it can given that C++ is statically typed. In fact, the above code also works for Classes:
Rice provides builtin wrappers for many builtin Ruby types, including:
The Array and Hash types can even be iterated over the same way one would iterate over an STL container:
STL algorithms should also work as expected on Array and Hash containers.
Inheritance is a tricky problem to solve in extensions. This is because wrapper functions for base classes typically don't know how to accept pointers to derived classes. It is possible to write this logic, but the code is nontrivial.
Forunately Rice handles this gracefully:
The second template parameter to define_class indicates that Derived inherits from Base.
Rice does not yet support multiple inheritance, but it is believed that this is possible through the use of mixins.
If you try to create a member function pointer to an overloaded function, you will get an error. So how do we wrap classes that have overloaded functions?
Consider a class that uses this idiom for accessors:
We can wrap this class by using typedefs:
A future version of Rice may provide a simplified interface for this.
Rice provides default conversions for many built-in types. Sometimes, however, the default conversion is not their right conversion. For example, consider a function:
Is x a pointer to a single character or a pointer to the first character of a null-terminated string or a pointer to the first character of an array of char?
Because the second case is the most common use case (a pointer to the first character of a C string), Rice provides a default conversion that treats a char * as a C string. But suppose the above function takes a pointer to a char instead?
If we write this:
It will likely have the wrong behavior.
To avoid this problem, it is necessary to write a wrapper function:
Note that the out parameter is returned from wrap_foo, as Ruby does not have pass-by-variable-reference (it uses pass-by-object-reference).
Future versions of Rice will have a cleaner way of dealing with this.
Going back to our initial C++ class example, lets say that hello() now take a few arguments for what to return, one which has a default value:
As default parameter information is not available through templates, it's necessary to define this in Rice explicitly using Rice::Arg:
The syntax here is simply Arg(nameOfParameter)[ = defaultValue]. The name of the parameter is not important (more for readability, and the future for when/if Ruby gets named parameters), but the value set via operator= must match the type of the given parameter.
These Rice::Arg objects must be in the correct order, and if there are more than one of them they must be surrounded in parentheses, as above, or the compilation will fail.
It may be required to explicitly cast the default argument values to their appropriate types:
With this, Ruby will now know about the default arguments, and this wrapper can be used as expected:
This will also work with Constructors:
As polymorphism is the most important tennant of Object Oriented Programming, it's important that Rice supports polymorphic calls travelling between C++ and Ruby seemlessly. Super calls from Ruby subclasses back into C++ already work, but enabling the other direction requires some extra work. While this isn't something Rice can do on it's own, the Rice::Director class, coupled with Rice::Data_Type::define_director exposes this functionality cleanly.
Like SWIG_Director, Rice::Director is a class that is used to build a proxy class to properly send execution up or down the object heiarchy for that class. Take the following class:
Due to the abstract nature of this class, it will not work at all with Rice in it's current form. Any attempt to do so will cause a compilation error due to this class not being constructable. Even without the pure virtual function, any call to VirtualBase::doWork will stop at the C++ level and will not pass down into any Ruby subclasses.
To properly wrap both of these methods, you'll need to build a proxy class that subclasses Rice::Director along with a few methods:
There is a lot going on here, so we'll go through each part.
First, the class needs to subclass both the virtual class and Rice::Director class.
For Rice::Director to work its magic, every instance of this class needs to have a handle to the Ruby instance of this class as well. The constructor must take a Rice::Object as the first argument, then any other arguments follow and should be passed back to the superclass as needed. The code here is the minimum required for a Rice::Director proxy.
The two methods seen here directly correspond to the two code directions this class opens up. The virtual method is this class's hook into C++'s polymorphism. Any calls that need to be forwarded into Ruby are done as specified here: get the Ruby object for the instance of this class, call Rice::Object::call, and if necessary convert the return value from Ruby back into C++ types.
The default_doWork method will be used as Rice's hookup of calling back up the heirarchy (wrapping is below). This method needs to do one of two things: call up the class heirarchy, as seen here, or call raisePureVirtual() as seen in the processWorker example:
The method raisePureVirtual() exists to allow wrapping a pure virtual method into Ruby but making sure any users of this extension are informed quickly that there's nothing in the C++ to call for the given method.
Once the proxy class is built, it's time to wrap it into Ruby:
The wrapping is the same as is described earlier in this document. Expose the class VirtualBase, and register VirtualBaseProxy as a director proxy of VirtualBase with Rice::Data_Type::define_director, then define methods pointing to the proxy object as necessary.
You must use the Rice::Director proxy class in the Constructor line, this allows proper object construction / destruction of the types in question.
There are times when a library exposes classes that while unrelated are built to be interchangeable across the library. One example of this, taken from the Open Source 3d rendering engine OGRE, are the Degree and Radian classes. When a given method takes a Radian, you're free to pass in a Degree, and vice versa.
Rice cannot automatically figure out if this kind of functionality is possible in a given library but it does have a simple API for defining these relationships: Rice::define_implicit_cast<From, To>().
This support is still being fleshed out and has a few requirements for proper use:
To see a full example of this feature, please check out test/test_Data_Type.cpp.
There are a number of common problems when writing C or C++ extensions for Ruby:
Rice addresses these issues in many ways:
There are a number projects which server similar functions to Rice. Two such popular projects are SWIG and Boost.Python. Rice has some distinct features which set it apart from both of these projects.
Rice is not trying to replace SWIG. Rice is not a generic wrapper interface generator. Rice is a C++ library for interfacing with the Ruby C API. This provides a very natural way for C++ programmers to wrap their C++ code, without having to learn a new domain-specific language. However, there is no reason why SWIG and Rice could not work together; a SWIG module could be written to generate Rice code. Such a module would combine the portability of SWIG with the maintainability of Rice (I have written extensions using both, and I have found Rice extensions to be more maintainable when the interface is constantly changing. Your mileage may vary).
Rice is also not trying to simply be a Ruby version of Boost.Python. Rice does use some of the same template tricks that Boost.Python uses, however there are some important distinctions. First of all, Boost.Python attempts to create a declarative DSL in C++ using templates. Rice is a wrapper around the Ruby C API and attempts to make its interface look like an OO version of the API; this means that class declarations look procedural rather than declarative. Secondly, the Ruby object model is different from the python object model. This is reflected in the interface to Rice; it mimics the Ruby object model at the C++ level. Thirdly, Rice uses Ruby as a code generator; I find this to be much more readable than using the Boost preprocessor library.
Rice originated as a project to interface with C++-based trading software at Automated Trading Desk in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina. The Ruby bindings for Swig were at the time less mature than they are today, and did not suit the needs of the project.
Excruby was written not as a wrapper for the Ruby API, but rather as a set of helper functions and classes for interfacing with the Ruby interpreter in an exception-safe manner. Over the course of five years, the project grew into wrappers for pieces of the API, but the original helper functions remained as part of the public interface.
This created confusion for the users of the library, because there were multiple ways of accomplishing most tasks – directly through the C API, through a low-level wrapper around the C API, and through a high-level abstraction of the lower-level interfaces.
Rice was then born in an attempt to clean up the interface. Rice keeps the lower-level wrappers, but as an implementation detail; the public interface is truly a high-level abstraction around the Ruby C API.
You can embed the Ruby interpter in your application by using the VM class:
If the VM is not initialized from main() – from a callback, for example – then you may need to initialize the stack whenever you use Rice or the Ruby API:
Be aware that initializing the Ruby VM can cause a call to exit() if certain command-line options are specified. This has two implications:

No pain no gain…though I think your sil took that too far. Hope she's ok!
Gorgeous quilt and what a quick finish in time for Christmas!
I really love this quilt! It is so versatile. It looks like a serene Christmas Village with the Christmas fabric.
WOW, I realize there were two of you but I am amazed that the quilt is completed so quickly. I just spent 5 days making a baby quilt ( disappearing 9 patch – easy right ?) from a flannel charm pack and some yardage… washed it and half of the ( charm pack ) seams ripped apart in the wash- the yardage fabrics are fine.
Sooo disappointing. Has this ever happened to you ?
I wonder if contacting the charm pack fabric company would get me any answers or if it would be another waste of time ? -
Cute … looks like ice fishing houses sitting on an iced over lake. (you can tell I live in the cold north … hahahha)
Owweee!! Hope your sister's finger is o.k. This is just the perfect Christmas quilt. Not too Christmasy, just right!!!!
you just had to initiate her properly right?
that is a fantastic Christmas quilt, one that looks like it could hang around after Dec 25th, too 🙂 hope your SIL is ok – I've sewn my finger before, but this sounds much more dramatic than my mishap {i bought a stilletto after my incident, and it is now my fav tool} Happy Christmas Sewing Season! hahaha 🙂
This is gorgeous! Will you share the pattern with us?
Darling. Is there a tutorial in the works? What size is the blovk?
I so wanted to finish a Christmas quilt this year (nope, trying again for next year lol). I have been busy watching you tube videos on FMQ. I think I am going to get brave and do my log cabin myself. LOVE that you have someone to quilt with. No one in my family, or my friends are quilters. They just all want me to make them one lol.
Beautiful quilt. You two are amazing to push through to finish it even with that awful injury! Well done! 🙂
Super cute!! I hope your sister's finger heals quickly. Ouch!!
This is gorgeous! I will purchase this as soon as you publish it. What a great quilt!
So cute! Hope her finger is okay. 🙁

This is one of the cutest quilts I've seen in weeks! I so hope there is a pattern in pdf in the works. It's super cute!!!
Also do you use your regular machine to free motion or do you use a long arm? I'm just starting to get up the courage, but all I have to fmq is my regular machine. What are your feelings on this? A response would be so AWESOME!! -
very cute! and you did it so fast!
YOUCH!!! I hope your sister isn't scared away from FMQ forever! This pattern is adorable; I love the way the houses are clumped in little groups, like a real village or neighborhood. Just lovely!
This is so cute!! I love it! I would love to see it in a pattern in your shop too.
This is so great! I love all the houses and the skyline at the top is just perfect.
Wow- talent galore in your family!! This is awesome
I love it! Won't you consider sharing it in the
2012 Christmas Quilt Show. -
I love this! You two did a great job…except the part about the needle through the finger. I'm coming to realize crochet & knitting might be safer for me. That's after I sliced my finger with my rotary cutter & thinned my hair with my seam ripper (don't run your hand through your hair while still holding seam ripper!) 🙂 Can't imagine a needle through the finger-would pass out for sure!
Good gracious! Pattern to follow?
That is a really cute quilt ~ I love it! I sewed through my fingernail during a jr. high home-ec sewing class. I thought the teacher was going to pass out.
Absolutely ADORABLE! I love the snowy ground and the colors are perfect….Christmasy but not just the normal red and green. I love throwing some aqua/blue into the mix. 🙂
Super cute quilt! Sounds like a fantastic weekend (minus the injury!)
Amanda -
Wow you girls are amazing and that had to be so fun (except for sewing through finger yikes). Great job! Can't wait to try the minky method sometime.
There is only one word to describe this quilt…LOVELY, LOVELY, LOVELY!
Please make this a pattern! Love it! hope the finger is ok.
4 days are you kidding?!?! That's amazing! Mine take weeks to complete and I drag my feet the whole way lol! It looks absolutely wonderful. Way to go you two! This pattern has so many applications, I love it as a Christmas theme. Hope the injury is healing and it didn't scare her away from free motion.
Oh my heck! I love it, I love seeing my sisters house and I love that you whipped it us so fast and shouldn't you make me one for Christmas? It's darling! Poor Finger!
Yup, I would buy this pattern in a snap. Get to work my friend! J/K, I'm glad you enjoyed family time over the holiday and I'm especially glad your sister is feeling better – Ouch!

The Asian fusion restaurant Umami Moto in Brookfield closed for good after its Saturday dinner service and will become a second Charro outpost by midsummer.
The Brookfield Umami Moto, 17800 W. Blue Mound Road, was owned solely by Michael Polaski. The downtown Umami Moto, which remains open, is owned jointly by Polaski, Omar Shaikh and Thomas Wackman.
The three jointly own Charro downtown, which serves Latin-influenced fare, and will own the Brookfield Charro. Shaikh, Wackman and Polaski have formed the SURG Restaurant Group, as Shaikh and Wackman prepare for their first Waukesha County venture.

Smartphones are a dime a dozen, and if the product name of your phone doesn't start with the letter i, you know you are beginning your life as an underdog. That doesn't mean your phone has to live its life in the shadows of the big Apple. In fact, for many business users, Android-based phones are an even better option than the iPhone. One such phone is the HTC Hero, which is offered by Sprint here in the States. This phone offers everything the iPhone does and, in some cases, more.
- Cost: $179.00 USD (with a contract)
- Processor: Qualcomm MSM 7600 @ 528 Mhz
- OS: Android
- Memory: 512MB ROM, 288MB DDR RAM, 2GB microSD memory card.
- Display: 3.2" 320x480 HVGA @ 262K-color TFT LCD touch-sensitive screen.
- Network: Dual Band CDM A2000 1xRTT/1xEVDO/1xEVDO Rev A
- Where to buy: Check out the HTC for retailer information.
Who is the target market?
The HTC Hero is for anyone looking for a solid entry in the Android-based phone market, with a better form factor than the Droid. (Unlike the iPhone and the Droid, the Hero sits perfectly in the hand no matter how you are using it.) The Hero is a phone that allows you to stay in touch while on the go and even using ActiveSync to connect to your companies Exchange server.
What problem does it solve?
The Hero allows you to easily stay connected to both business and social contacts in multiple ways. With an outstanding interface (thanks to the fusion of Android and the HTC Sense UI), the Hero makes using the Android OS a seamless, user-friendly experience.
Standout features
- ActiveSync Exchange support
- Thousands of applications available on the Android Market
- Tethering support
- Easily connect with Google features such as Gmail and Google calendar
- Screen widgets keep information at your immediate fingertips
- 5 Megapixel camera
- Bluetooth 2.0 support
- Replaceable battery
- Check out this HTC Hero photo gallery
The initial impression shouldn't deceive you — this phone is as comfortable to hold as it is to look at.
What's wrong?
There are two major problems with the Hero. The first is the underpowered hardware. No matter how you spin it, the Hero still has hardware that is less than stellar. Even though the Android OS tries to circumvent this by being an efficient OS, the lack of power shows itself now and then. The second issue (which will be resolved soon) is that of battery life. In the 1.56 version (the current firmware), there is an issue with the built-in messaging application not going to sleep when not in use, which significantly drains the battery. HTC has stated that the 2.1 update will resolve this issue. It better, or Hero users may migrate to another hardware.
Competitive products
Bottom line for business
If you are looking for an Android-based smartphone that can connect to Exchange, Google, and just about every other service available, the HTC Hero may be for you. And with the included QuickOffice, your Hero can really be your office on the go. If you do make the plunge, be on the lookout for the updated firmware that is supposed to drop mid-2010.

My 13 month old got hooked up right away. It's a musical DVD with the characters of Sesame Street (my baby doesn't like that show except for the songs). I found this DVD hillarious and my daughter loves it.

The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (NYSE:GS): Current price $132.96
The Volcker rule of the 2010 Dodd-Frank act was supposed to curb risky proprietary trading behavior by big banks, and everyone had reason to believe that Goldman CEO Lloyd Blankfein was playing nice. After all, Blankfein told more than 400 people at an Economic Club lunch in Washington, D.C. that Goldman no longer had any traders who engaged in the behavior.
But according to a Bloomberg report, the bank has skirted regulation and maintains a "secretive" group called Multi-Strategy Investing that bets with as much as $1 billion of the firm's own money. Insiders report that the division operates very much like a hedge fund.

Who was the most impressive driver throughout the Monaco Grand Prix weekend?
See below for my pick of the best drivers in the Monaco Grand Prix.
Review each driver's race weekend in detail below and vote for who you thought was the most impressive driver.
For your consideration
Here are some of the drivers who impressed me during the Monaco Grand Prix weekend:
Sebastian Vettel – Terrific under pressure and eked out extraordinary longevity from his tyres. Both lucky and unlucky with the race stoppage and his slow pit stop.
Fernando Alonso – Tenacious as ever in a sub-par car. Gave away nothing in qualifying, quick off the line, dogged in pursuit of Vettel.
Jenson Button – Made a race of it with an unlikely strategy that came close to working.
Pastor Maldonado – Easily his best F1 performance so far, particularly impressive in qualifying and deserved points. Could have avoided the collision that put him out, though.
Timo Glock – Justifiably pleased with a strong qualifying performance and he clung on to the Lotuses in the race until his car broke.
Compare all the drivers
Review what happened to each driver over the race weekend and compare their performances with their team mates using the links below:
Red Bull: Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber

North Las Vegas City Council members threw a controversial lifeline to underwater homeowners Wednesday, picking up a complex, amended plan aimed at keeping thousands of upside-down borrowers in their homes.
The proposal passed on a 4-1 vote, with Ward 4 Councilman Wade Wagner against it. Under it, the city entered into an advisory services agreement with Mortgage Resolution Partners, or MRP, the San Francisco-based authors of a controversial program that refinances underwater home loans seized through eminent domain.
Nevada's third-largest city becomes the first in the state to offer even a cautious welcome to the effort, one that opponents — including real estate agents, mortgage bankers and title insurers — warn could face a series of challenges in court.
Tweaks to the proposal Wednesday ask MRP to take stock of how many homeowners will be helped by the effort and at what cost to the city.
The amended agreement also lets city leaders opt out of the program at any time before it circles back to City Hall in August, when officials will consider broadening it.
Once in place, the plan allows city officials to seize a bad home loan in much the same way it condemns a blighted property.
The program will see city officials use eminent domain to pay mortgage investors less than face value for a troubled home loan while representatives from MRP restructure the homeowner's debts in a new mortgage backed by the Federal Housing Administration.
The company will charge the city a per loan advisory fee, and both parties will take a cut on the difference between the original bad mortgage and a new, FHA-backed loan resold to third-party mortgage investors.
An estimated 75 percent of North Las Vegas homeowners are still at risk of losing their home. MRP officials suggested that could cost the recession-ravaged city, which teetered on the brink of bankruptcy this time last year, some $50 million in lost property tax revenues.
About 15 percent of the city's 30,000 underwater borrowers qualify for the revised plan, which applies only to private label securities — bundled mortgages not held by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which have been left largely untouched by federal housing refinance efforts.
North Las Vegas homeowner Darrell Whaley, one of those left in the cold by efforts to enroll in more than a dozen federally backed loan modification programs, offered heartfelt support for the program.
Without it, Whaley said, homeowners like him would have nowhere to go.
"I'm over $200,000 upside down in my home," Whaley told council members and a standing-room-only crowd at City Hall. "I can assure you I've looked into every government program, and I would have to default, or I would have to stop making payments in order to qualify.
"There is no government program for me. I need you to take a shot at this."
MRP representatives plan to raise private capital to back the purchase of loans like Whaley's but said they couldn't guarantee the resale of that debt to a third party.
Nevada Bankers Association President Bill Uffelman fears investors won't line up to buy some 4,700 city-acquired loans, leaving unqualified borrowers and other North Las Vegas taxpayers on the hook for thousands of underperforming notes the city can't unload.
He also voiced legal concerns over the move, one he and other plan opponents said could run afoul of state limits on the transfer of eminent domain-acquired property between private parties.
"It's an unconstitutional taking of property rights," Uffelman said Wednesday. "Investors in these mortgages will have standing to sue, so any revenue stream for the city is a long way off."
Those fears spooked Wagner, the only one of five council members willing to voice unqualified opposition to the effort.
"There's a lot of unanswered questions," the Ward 4 councilman said. "But I think the only thing it guarantees is a lot of litigation for a lot of years."
MRP investors, including developer and Greenspun Media Group Chairman Danny Greenspun, have cited court decisions and legal opinions in defense of the program, calling criticism "totally inaccurate" in neighborhood meetings before this week's vote.
Wednesday saw Greenspun express similar confidence in the plan's popularity, suggesting an MRP toehold in North Las Vegas could grow into a launchpad for expansion into Las Vegas, Henderson and the rest of Clark County.
Greenspun said before this week's meeting, "Sure we'll keep going. ... There's no reason we wouldn't take it elsewhere."

How To Eat Camembert Cheese
Camembert Cheese is a buttery, luscious soft French cheese that comes with a thin and edible aromatic rind. Even though, this French cheese is made across the world, the true version is made in Normandy from the fresh milk of cows that graze on soil enriched with apple trees. Knowing how to eat Camembert cheese is a must for every cheese connoisseur.
Though, some cheese lovers get a hint of apple flavor in Camembert cheese, many enjoy its nutty and earthy flavor along with a mild tinge of mold. It is a very complex and robust cheese and can be truly called as the King of French cheeses. The cheese showcases a creamy appeal and salty flavor that makes it different from other cheeses. The chalky white rind from mold adds to the flavor or the ripe Camembert cheese.
Tips To Eat Camembert Cheese
While you can eat Camembert cheese according to your desire, the thumb rule is to serve it at room temperature. Warm it and relish its buttery and salty flavor. The warm cheese is easy to be spread on crackers, making it more enjoyable.
Camembert is the ideal choice for a fine table cheese and makes it a royal addition to the cheese board at a party. You can serve this delicious cheese with berries, melons and grapes. Camembert cheese becomes a seductive choice when eaten with sweet pears and toasted nuts.
Cheese aficionado will love to relish this when paired with the sparkling Champagne or red wines like Beaujolais or Bordeaux. In its hometown, this velvety cheese is paired with the locally produced dry apple brandy called Calvados.
You can enjoy this cheese with or without its white chalky rind. But a cheese lover would prefer to have it with rind. You can eat this cheese with French baguette or just apply it on bread and enjoy it.
Bake Camembert with freshly ground salt and black pepper and thyme leaves and olive oil and eat with toasted garlic.
Don't hesitate if you are trying out Camembert Cheese for the first time. You can use these ideas or try some new combos to have a delightful and enticing experience.

A show about an industrial dispute simply should not be this much fun. That's the view too of the time-and-motion man in the Sleep-Tite pyjama factory, who informs us sternly that "This is a very serious drama: it's about capital and labour." But this is 1950s musicals-land, and any serious points (there are some) come packaged in an irresistible mix of waspish comedy (book by George Abbott and Richard Bissell), droll songs (Richard Adler and Jerry Ross) and exuberant dance – all fabulously delivered in Richard Eyre's affectionate production.
This staging started life at the Chichester Theatre, but expands happily, filling the big West End stage with the clatter and chatter of a shop floor full of sewing machines. The first number, "Racing with the Clock", gives us 1950s American production at full-pelt: a cheery bunch of workers busting a gut to keep up with the growing consumer demand for comfort and elegance in their pyjamas. But there's trouble brewing: the workers want a pay rise, the management is resisting. It's a crisis that will put lovebirds Sid Sorokin, the new superintendent, and Babe Williams, the union rep, in direct conflict.
Their prickly romance is the heart of the show – bringing a whole new meaning to the term industrial relations. But while it's all lightly handled, Eyre's production cannily suggests that this is a musical about a changing America. The production seethes with energy: the whole workforce seems ready to burst a button – if they weren't so busy dancing they might challenge more fundamentally their sweatshop conditions and crooked boss. Both Eyre's direction and Stephen Mear's witty, effervescent choreography draw on the great American musicals of the 1940s, but also hint that rock'n'roll is just around the corner. And while the factory churns out safely unerotic pyjamas, the atmosphere is steamy with lust and sexual frustration. Change is in the air.
The elastic begins to sag slightly in the second half, with a rather meandering sequence leading to Sid finally saving the day. But it's so joyously performed that it is hard to mind. There's fine, detailed work from the cast: Peter Polycarpou and Claire Machin deliver a delightfully daft duet about jealousy, while Alexis Owen-Hobbs sizzles as the sultry secretary. And in the Darcy and Elizabeth-style love affair, Michael Xavier brings a lovely wry style to his character's mix of arrogance and anxiety (duetting with himself on the office Dictaphone) and Joanna Riding combines terrier-like determination with vulnerability. A stylish pyjama case, this one.

Reviews for this host's other properties
It was a beautiful stay in Martha and Peter's house and they really tried to make us feel at home. Both are very warmhearted and always helped us out with some good tips and advice. We had a wonderful room with a big window to the garden. We enjoyed some nice dinners together and for sure we swaped some nice recipes and stories about our travel adventures. :) For people who like the life in a shared house it's a perfect place for them.
Nothing but lovely (and lively), always a helping hand and great people.
We didn't end up staying there as it was not what we expected. More of a share house with lots of young people sharing bathrooms, kitchens etc. Hosts seemed a lovely couple with good rapport with guests but not suitable for a mature couple expecting a quiet guest house. Photos of guest house not quite the same as actual house. Would suit younger people!
Peter and Martha are lovely and very welcoming and Fletcher the dog is so cute. They have done all their best to help us. We had a fantastic Christmas lunch that Martha cooked so well that our feeling was to be in a restaurant. We had some bbq with them outdoor. Their home is very very nice, big, and the zone where they live is very quiet. The metro is near, only 500 mt. We recommend absolutely them, your holiday will be surprising.
We had a great time at Peter and Martha's place.
The house has a good connection to the metro. Hugesdale is the next train station, which is round about 5 - 8 minutes by walk.
One of our best experiences during our stay in Australia. We hope to see them again.

RE:Brewster Flats Hot
I think I showed Nate this but to get to the outer spit you must cross further west toward the actual Paine's Creek mouth. Both Quivett and Paine's spits curve semi-circular to the east like the top halves of letter "C"'s although the inside area of Paine's is much more filled in than Quivett and offers a straight-away crossing point from Saint's Landing.
My point is the top of the "C" is cut by the trench at Paine's, and the spit is the end of the curved bar cut by the trench. To cross it, you need to go far enough west so that there is a blanket of purple algae on the flat, "up-river" from the stream of outgoing flow a significant distance from the hole.
Sunday was an exception, you could probably cross very close to the first cove because the low tide was a minus -1.9 on the bay. In general it is not wise to be out on the outer spit unless (a) you have a extreme low and (b) you are willing to commit 100% to departure when the tide stops running out. At that point if you want to fish part of the incoming, it's possible to make the earliest possible crossing back to the bar directly south of the hole and catch the fish arriving on the flood tide. Also work the high bar back straight and southerly to the shoreline as the water comes in. You end up on the beach a ways off from Paine's BUT you will not be drowned.
Whatever you do, don't wander around off the high points of bars that are contiguous to shore. Extreme low tides mean extreme high tides and the tempted become the trapped in a heartbeat.
I've guided my share of wade trips on Brewster Flats and can bear witness to the perils it imposes on the foolhardy. My advice to you is <b>don't fish the incoming at all without a boat.</b>
With a boat, it's the very best time!
