But what about code that needs to run on Mac OS too?
If your program's single-threaded, you can use getpid(3) instead. This might sound silly, but you might well find that limiting your Mac build to a single thread lets you avoid all kinds of Mac OS pthread woe, and lets you get on with more important stuff. But this won't suit everyone.
If you poke around, you'll see that the Darwin/xgnu kernel actually has a gettid(2) system call. But before you get excited, you'll find that it's completely unrelated to the Linux gettid(2). It returns the "per-thread override identity", which is a uid and gid that a thread might be operating under (like a per-thread setuid(2) kind of facility). No use to us.
If you poke a bit further, you'll find modern kernels have a thread_selfid(2) system call. This gives you the closest equivalent, but the numbers are going to be a lot larger than you're used to on Linux (they're 64-bit integers, and quite high). And this doesn't work on 10.5 or earlier (the system call was first implemented in 10.6).
Speaking of 10.6, there's also a non-portable pthread_threadid_np(3) that turns a pthread_t into a uint64_t. This gives the same values you'd get from thread_selfid(2). Again, this is unsupported in 10.5 and earlier.
So then there's always pthread_self(3). Sure, it returns an opaque type, but you know it's either going to be a thread id itself or, more likely, a pointer to some struct. So cast it to a suitably-sized integer and you're done. You might complain that the numbers are big and unwieldy, but so are your other choices. And at least these ones are portable, not just to old versions of Mac OS but to other OSes too. The values are somewhat useful in gdb(1) too.
The pthread_self(3) pthread_t isn't useful for a managed runtime's thin lock id, but then neither is Linux's gettid(2). If you really need something like that, you're going to have to follow your threads' life cycles and allocate and free ids yourself (either pid style or fd style, depending on whether you value avoiding reuse or smaller values more). So that's another option to consider if you'd like prettier, smaller "thread ids", albeit ones that have no meaning to other tools or parts of the system.
Anyway, here's some example code:
#include <errno.h> #include <iostream> #include <pthread.h> #include <sys/syscall.h> int main() { std::cout << "getpid()=" << getpid() << std::endl; std::cout << "pthread_self()=" << pthread_self() << std::endl; uint64_t tid; pthread_threadid_np(NULL, &tid); std::cout << "pthread_threadid_np()=" << tid << std::endl; std::cout << "syscall(SYS_thread_selfid)=" << syscall(SYS_thread_selfid) << std::endl; return 0; }
And here's some corresponding example output from a 10.7 system:
getpid()=97626 pthread_self()=0x7fff7932e960 pthread_threadid_np()=2750350 syscall(SYS_thread_selfid)=2750350

Airsoft guns are going to be a very hot gift for teenage boys this Christmas, along with all the accessories and tactical gear that go along with them.
Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) November 24, 2012
Cyber Monday sales are upon Airsoft Atlanta this busy weekend. The warehouse crew is actively working through the weekend to securely package and ship orders placed by customers since this past Wednesday. "With UPS closed Thanksgiving and Friday, it delays most of our orders from being shipped until Monday," says Eric Barnes, a salesperson at Airsoft Atlanta. "Airsoft guns are going to be a very hot gift for teenage boys this Christmas, along with all the accessories and tactical gear that go along with them."
Top Christmas airsoft gifts are mostly coming from gun makers such as G&G, a producer of some of the best AEGs. An AEG is an Automatic Electric Gun, or electric rifle, that shoots 6mm plastic BBs. It's powered by a rechargeable battery, so it doesn't take co2 gas, or other expensive refill options. A simple wall outlet and charger is all it takes to make a gun shoot ammo for an entire day. Relatively cheap to operate compared to real guns or paintball markers. Airsoft ammo is also pretty inexpensive, at only $10 for around 4000 rounds. Other well regarded guns this year are from manufacturers such as KWA, Tokyo Marui, and Echo 1.
Another popular airsoft gun style among active players are new sniper rifles. Most of the airsoft sniper rifles are spring powered, requiring no gas or electric power to shoot. They require spring power from pulling the bolt back, the BB being held in place until ready to fire, and then released with a simple trigger pull. Sniper rifles are very fun to play with, along with customizing for use on the field. A lot of airsoft technicians will build custom rifles to their own specifications. With thousands of custom rifle parts available, the possibilities for a variety of rifles are endless.
Tactical gear and other accessories are also going to be very popular this year. NCStar, a manufacturer based out of Los Angeles, just released a new tactical vest made for kids. Until now, all nylon tactical vests have been made for full sized adults, so a children's size is a must-have for younger boys. NCStar also has some popular rifle bags for around $20 that will hold most airsoft guns and carbines. Airsoft Atlanta also specializes in real tactical gear by Mechanix gloves, Condor Tactical, Blackhawk, and many more manufacturers.
Safety for airsoft guns must also be observed this holiday season. Use airsoft products only with parent's supervision, on safe private property, with proper eye protection on at all times. Display and use of airsoft products in public should also be discouraged for legal reasons. Airsoft is a very safe sport if done within confines of a professional field, with adults involved in the game. Airsoft safety masks are suitable for most playing fields, with a full face seal for protection.
Airsoft Atlanta is a highly experienced pro-shop company that offers airsoft guns and ammunition to government agencies and consumer players of the sport. Their website offers a selection of guns and expertise that is perfect for any budget. Attention and care are given to all orders and recommendations based on past experiences for airsoft usage. Airsoft Atlanta is the leader in online airsoft sales, with a large showroom in Georgia, and a website specializing in airsoft parts, airsoft guns, and tactical gear.

The other day I was tidying up my pantry and taking stock of what was there when I came across some fermented black beans. The fermented black beans are salted and fermented soybeans that are commonly used in Chinese cuisine and I had picked them up a while ago to make a number of dishes including a mapo tofu . Upon seeing them, I was reminded that just the other day I had been thinking about doing a dish with a black bean paste and I immediately thought, I wonder if I could make my own black bean paste with these? As it turns out, it is pretty easy to make your own black bean paste at home! The black bean paste consists primarily of the black beans and garlic. The fermented black beans are all dried out and hard so you simmer them in some chicken (or vegetable) broth to soften them up and then you season them with soy sauce and sugar. Finally you thicken everything up with cornstarch until it forms a paste. Of course, the first thing that I did was whip out the jar of my favourite brand of black bean paste to do a side by side comparison and I have to say that I will be making my own black bean paste from now on!
Black Bean Sauce
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 2 tablespoons fermented black beans
- 1 tablespoon garlic (chopped)
- 1/2 cup chicken broth (or vegetable broth)
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- Heat the oil in a pan over medium-high.
- Add the fermented black beans and garlic and saute until fragrant, about 20-30 seconds.
- Add the broth and simmer to reduce to half, about 2-4 minutes.
- Mix the water and cornstarch and then mix it into the sauce along with the soy sauce and sugar and cook until it thickens, about a minute.

Helen Pidd's Book: The Bicycle
Helen Pidd's new Book The Bicycle, published by Penguin, hits the shelves today. Its a great read and ideal if you are thinking about starting out on two wheels but are looking for some advice. Bicycle books can often be somewhat factual verging on dull so Helen's book is real breath of fresh air in that its funny, imaginative and highly relevant to the modern woman. We were at the launch party last night (cycling's schmoozy event of the year!) at London's new Cycling cafe Look Mum no Hands, to raise and toast and wish Helen (pictured) & Penguin all the best with the book.
Pic from the book, featuring our Kitsch Kitchen panniers and the wonderful Pink Jazz YAKKAY.

Expert ReviewBack to Top
The Skinny:
- Made in the USA
- Patented SearMagic grates enhance cooking versatility
- Manufactured by MHP, the company that invented the first gas grill
- 304 stainless steel
Things We Love:
ProFire is an American-made grill with a durable, 304 stainless steel exterior and a double lined hood which protects it from discoloring.
ProFire grills are Modern Home Products' deluxe brand of stainless steel grills. Modern Home Products has an impressive history dating back to 1960 when they introduced the first gas grill. Since then, they've branched out to manufacture multiple grill brands, including ProFire.
ProFire's patented SearMagic cooking grids really take your grilling to the next level, and as a chef, what I love most about ProFire grills. They help prevent most flare-ups that the grill may produce. The SearMagic cooking grates are double sided, with a raised side and a flat side. The raised side is awesome for searing steak, while the flat side works well when it comes to cooking smaller, more delicate items like shrimp or vegetables so they don't fall through the grates. The SearMagic grids do a wonderful job at producing even heat, also produce a nice searing heat, wonderful for steak night!
Within ProFire, you'll find the Deluxe models and Professional models, with the main difference being stylish curved lid on the Deluxe model that I personally love. The Deluxe also comes with interior halogen lights, which really come in handy for nighttime grilling. When it comes to configuration, you have the option to get a hybrid model which adds an infrared burner, but since the SearMagic grids aren't available within the hybrid, I highly recommend the conventional configuration so that you can experience the SearMagic difference! Please note, you can also get the conventional model with stainless steel rod grids, so be sure to select the option that includes SearMagic grids- you won't regret it!
I like that ProFire backs its grills with a lifetime warranty on the stainless steel grill housing, burners & grids, and carries a limited warranty on other parts, including the flavor plates, knobs & ignition system.
ProFire makes a nice line of matching outdoor kitchen equipment and a very popular indoor grill as well.
Things To Consider:
When choosing a model that doesn't include SearMagic cooking grids, ProFire isn't the best in regards to even heat distribution and minimal flare-ups. The SearMagic grids really help improve the grill's cooking performance.
You'll Like This Grill If:
You want take advantage of the SearMagic difference on a 304 grade stainless steel gas grill that's made in the USA and manufactured by MHP, the company that invented the gas grill.

A proxy is "an interface for a service, especially for one that is remote, resource-intensive, or otherwise difficult to use directly". Source: Proxy - Wiktionary.
Environment variables
Some programs (like wget) use environment variables of the form "protocol_proxy" to determine the proxy for a given protocol (e.g. HTTP, FTP, ...).
Below is an example on how to set these variables in a shell:
export http_proxy=http://10.203.0.1:5187/ export ftp_proxy=http://10.203.0.1:5187/
Some programs look for the all caps version of the environment variables.
Alternatively you can automate the toggling of the variables by adding a function to your .bashrc (thanks to Alan Pope)
function proxy(){ echo -n "username:" read -e username echo -n "password:" read -es password export http_proxy="http://$username:$password@proxyserver:8080/" export ftp_proxy="http://$username:$password@proxyserver:8080/" echo -e "\nProxy environment variable set." } function proxyoff(){ unset HTTP_PROXY unset http_proxy unset FTP_PROXY unset ftp_proxy echo -e "\nProxy environment variable removed." }
If you don't need a password then omit it.
Automation with network managers
- NetworkManager can't change the environment variables.
- netcfg is flexible enough to enable per-profile environment variables setting as described in the "Proxy settings" section of the netcfg article.
About libproxy
libproxy (which is available in the extra repository) is an abstraction library which should be used by all applications that want to access a network resource. It still is in development but could lead to a unified and automated handling of proxies in GNU/Linux if widely adopted.
The role of libproxy is to read the proxy settings form different sources and make them available to applications which use the library. The interesting part with libproxy is that it offers an implementation of the Web Proxy Autodiscovery Protocol and an implementation of Proxy Auto-Config that goes with it.
The Template:Codeline binary takes URL(s) as argument(s) and returns the proxy/proxies that could be used to fetch this/these network resource(s).
As of 06/04/2009 libproxy is required by libsoup. It is then indirectly used by the Midori browser.

Erwin Vermont Washington, age 51, has the distinction of being the third United Airlines pilot to be accused of being drunk on the job in the past 13 months. Yesterday, he was literally taken from the cockpit by police at London's Heathrow Airport, given a breathalizer test, which he failed, and carted off to the hoosecow.
When you put it together with an American Airlines pilot who was removed from a plane for being drunk ( also at Heathrow) and the two Delta pilots who were caught with booze in their coffee while going through an airport checkpoint here in the States a couple of years ago, it kind of makes you wonder just how friendly, not to mention safe, those drunken skies are.
True, British law is stricter than American law about what constitutes too much alcohol in the bloodstream, but American pilots are not supposed to be drinking at all before a flight. They should have zero alcohol in the bloodstream. So what is going on here? The American culture of corporate corruption and worship of the almighty dollar seems to have trumped common sense once again.
I lay the blame on the deregulation of airline travel in 1978. Back in the day, the civil aeronautics board had ultimate control over fares, routes, and entry of new carriers into the market. It put safety first and profit second. Deragulation phased it out and gradually exposed American carriers to the pressures of the market. Yes, airline prices fell by more than 40% but airline travel, which had been quite comfortable, became what it is today-- like a ride in a cattlecar. Frankly, I'd rather pay more for a ticket and know that the guys in the cockpit have their wits about them.
I'll tell you one thing. The next time I fly to London it will be on Virgin Atlantic or British Airways. No drunken skies of United or American for me. I'll go with an airline that has some government oversight and some sane safetly regulations.

PARIS — Say it with flowers.
That was the clear message from new designer Raf Simons in his 1950s-tinged haute couture debut for Christian Dior.
When the normally exuberant house first hired the Belgian designer, known for his minimalist and linear style, it raised eyebrows.
But Monday's show will win many over.
He revitalized with panache the curved Dior "flower women" silhouette.
It's what Christian Dior, the man, used to describe his revolutionary 1947 New Look of cinched waists and full skirts that resembled inverted flowers.
One thing's clear: Simons has done his homework.
In the four months since being named creative director, he's delved deep into the house's archives.
The result: a strong show in homage to Dior's love of flowers, but never a servile one.
Simons owned it.
Fifty four diverse looks paraded through several sweet-scented salons, wall-to-wall in myriad multi-colored flowers.
The first pieces were among the strongest.
Simons truncated the New Look, pairing high-waisted A-line mini dresses with contemporary black pants.
These were followed by a series of clean A-line archive pieces in bright reds and pale pink.
Their clean lines with large, hip-level pockets signalled a break from the vivacity of Simons' predecessor, John Galliano.
Dior's been looking for fresh direction ever since Galliano was sacked last year for a drunken anti-Semitic tirade.
This collection shows they've found their man.
Simons aimed to create a new kind of couture. He said it wasn't "just about reaching for a typical satin duchesse, a silk ... but new forms."
And this was certainly fresh territory.
One bright yellow, show-stopping evening dress might have come in silk, but its skin-tight sheer top exposed the model's nipple ring.
Some of the looks in fur didn't quite work, but the misses were outweighed by plays on traditional form.
In a clever touch, Simons transformed the Bar Jacket into a tuxedo-dress, turning its cupped pockets into a Madonna-style conical bra.
Simons' show proves that change is a good thing. Now, Dior could well give Louis Vuitton and Hermes a run for their money.

It's been a busy day or two for online security professionals as they attempt to thwart denial-of-service attacks on the websites of people and businesses perceived as opponents of WikiLeaks. Among those affected have been the websites for PayPal, MasterCard and Visa. Here's a quick overview of the controversy and what has been happening.
For those who are already up to speed, The Sydney Morning Herald has published a fascinating account by an alleged hacker, an Australian whom it does not name, on how the attackers have been operating, using a procedure known as a Low Orbit Ion Cannon (LOIC):
The attacker said it took just 800 computers to take down MasterCard and 1000 to take down Visa.
"Even on an ADSL account, LOIC can develop around 20 million connect requests per hour," he said.
"LOIC is basically a bot and it does the same thing that hacker and cracker botnets do but it's a voluntary botnet, it's people volunteering to have their machine taken over remotely and then the hivemind can direct the attacks."
The man said right now there were around 3000 people running LOIC and attacks would continue until they "feel like they've proven a point".

About the divorce to end all divorces, the cavalier tie-in is they had a huge custody battle over their cavalier (which is of course TOTALLY to be expected ) but the rest is something else!!
Grab a cup of coffee, this is pretty darn entertaining and bizarre. Where do such people come from? Here's the start:
Riveting plot lines and unforgettable scenes ââ¬â enough to fill a miniseries ââ¬â made the recent eleven-day divorce trial of Ray and Deanna Vinson something courthouse observers will be buzzing about for months to come.
There were accusations of misleading the president of the United States and lurid accounts of a bleary-eyed Ray Vinson, flanked by security guards, being rolled out of a Las Vegas hotel in a wheelchair. There was talk of dirt-digging private eyes crisscrossing the nation, a Maplewood cop receiving a bribe and a living-room sofa being tossed into a swimming pool. And, oh yes, there was the spiteful custody battle over Bogey, the couple's beloved Cavalier King Charles Spaniel.

VANCOUVER — It's not quite "wait until next year" for the Vancouver Canucks, unless you're elite prospect Hunter Shinkaruk.
The 19-year-old left-winger is recovering from major hip surgery and will not be back this season no matter how far the Medicine Hat Tigers, his junior team, advance in the Western Hockey League playoffs. So for him it's rehab, to be followed by regular off-season training, to be followed by an attempt to make the big club next fall.
He played just 18 games for the Tigers in 2013-14, a lot of those in pain, but isn't bitter about having almost an entire season pulled from beneath him. The Canucks selected Shinkaruk in the first round, 24th overall, in last June's NHL entry draft.
"I mean, there are a lot worse things than to get hip surgery and recover," Shinkaruk said Wednesday while in Vancouver to see team doctors. "I've kind of told myself, in the days where it sucks not being on the ice, there are people going through a lot worse things in the world than I am. I'm pretty fortunate I've gotten all the support I have."
Shinkaruk was one of the shining stars at last September's training camp and during the pre-season, but didn't last long once he returned to Medicine Hat. His left hip, he later admitted, had been bothering him for some time. He tried to play through it in an effort to make Canada's world junior team and, when that attempt failed, he opted for surgery for a torn labrum. The operation was performed Jan. 7 in Vail, Colo., by noted hip specialist Marc Philippon.
"It's been a little bit weird not playing but I think, for me, my hip had been something that was hurt for a little while," he said. "It's been nice to mentally get past that point. It feels great now. I haven't had any problems with it since the surgery. It's been really nice to just recover and not to have to go through any bumps.
"I've skated but I'm not pushing it too hard. I'm just kind of getting the feel for being back on the ice and doing some light skating. It's really nice knowing that my hip is going to be okay. I've worked really hard and I've had great people to work with and everything has been awesome. I'm really lucky how everything has gone."
There is no doubt in Shinkaruk's mind that he'll be ready for next fall's training camp, which is six months away.
"Yeah, absolutely," he responded. "My mindset is to make sure I'm ready for camp, but I want to make sure I'm taking things slow as well and not pushing it to the point where I could hurt it again."
Shinkaruk spoke to reporters in the Canucks dressing room following the morning skate, while just a few feet away Nicklas Jensen was sitting in his stall taking it in. Jensen has become the newest poster boy for Vancouver's future and the dynamic was not lost on Shinkaruk. If Jensen, the 29th pick in the 2011 draft, was making an impact, why not him, too?
"I'm really good friends with Jens and I talk to him a lot," Shinkaruk said. "I've been texting him since he's been up. He's a great player and it's been good to see him get a few goals here and playing really well."
Plans call for Shinkaruk to return home to Calgary on Thursday and continue his rehab there.
FUTURE WATCH: The Canucks have a pile of prospects in the Ontario Hockey League — Bo Horvat, Dane Fox, Brendan Gaunce, Cole Cassels and Jordan Subban — and some of them were acknowledged Wednesday in an OHL coaches' poll.
The poll was divided into conferences and rated players in 20 different categories. Fox, signed as a free agent earlier this season, was rated No. 1 in the Western Conference as "most dangerous in the goal area" and "best shot." He led the OHL in goals with 64 (in 67 games) and finished second in points with 107 while playing for the Erie Otters.
Horvat, the sole asset gained from the Cory Schneider trade with New Jersey, received the nod as "best on faceoffs" and second best "defensive forward" in the West. Horvat was selected ninth overall last June and completed his regular season with the London Knights with 74 points in 54 games.
Subban, the Canucks' fourth-round pick last June, was chosen third best "offensive defenceman" in the Eastern Conference. A member of the Belleville Bulls, he collected 42 points in 66 games.
Gaunce, the Canucks' first pick in 2012, and Cassels, a third-round choice last year, didn't receive the nod in any of the 20 categories. Gaunce put up 72 points in 65 games split between Belleville and Erie while Cassels had 73 points in 61 games for the Oshawa Generals.
QUOTABLE: "My dad thought I got traded." — Canucks centre Brad Richardson explaining that it was an upper-body injury, not a deal, that caused him to leave a game March 4, the night before the NHL trading deadline.

Before the Model 33 and ASCII code
Some of the earliest telegraph instruments were printing telegraphs, such as the Hughes machine, or indicated letters directly, such as the Wheatstone ABC system. However, they were either slow, or else were complicated and temperamental mechanisms requiring good circuits and constant skilled maintenance. The fundamental idea in all such devices is the maintenance of synchronism between the transmitting and receiving mechanisms. This could be provided by two wires (as in Edison stock tickers), but for practical telegraphy single circuits only were practical.
The breakthrough was made by Baudot in 1874, who used a five-element code transmitted by a sort of piano keyboard and received by a synchronous mechanism (the distributor) that selected the letter to print. This mechanism was refined into the teletype machine that dominated telegraphy in the first half of the twentieth century. The Baudot system first spread through France, and became general worldwide by 1910. Today's Internet is a telegraph network, made possible by semiconductor electronics and other developments, that, together with a digitized telephone network, provides the majority of today's telecommunications. This page will describe the technical features of the classic mechanical teletype apparatus used in the 1950's. General history and later developments will be found elsewhere.
The advantages of a printing telegraph are speed, accuracy, permanence of record and ease of relaying through the use of paper tape. The greatest advantage, however, is in not requiring skilled operators. A teletype sending operator need only know how to type, and a receiving operator only how to tear off the paper from the printer, in distinction to the highly-skilled, highly-paid and highly organized Morse operators. This is the outstanding reason for the dominance of the teletype. The disadvantages are weight and size, power requirements, expensive mechanical maintenance, and the necessity for good circuits, in addition to considerable noise. The modern application of electronics and the elimination of nearly all mechanism overcomes all of these disadvantages. The inkjet printer is much cheaper, lighter and quieter than a mechanical teleprinter!
Teletype used electricity only for signalling. The transmitter opened and closed contacts at specified times that controlled the line, while the receiver used an electromagnet driven by the line to select mechanical settings for printing. Everything else was mechanical. This elaborate and advanced mechanical technology was also seen in mechanical calculators of the time, in watches and engine governors, and in other delicate mechanisms that have now been completely superseded by electronics.
The U.S. Army's standard teletypewriter of the 1950's weighed about 200 pounds. It was 42-1/8" high, 18" wide, and 21-5/16" deep, composed of a keyboard unit, a typing unit, a motor unit, and a base unit, all on a metal table with everything painted green. The keyboard had the keys arranged as on a standard QWERTY typewriter, but in only three rows with 31 keys and a spacebar. There were only capital letters. Keys were provided for LTRS and FIGS shift modes. Each key had the LTRS function below, and the FIGS function above. The top row, for example, had the digits from 1 to 0 above the letters Q to P. Paper, usually rough absorbent yellow paper, was supplied from a roll at the back of the printing unit, and after passing around the platen of the printer, exited at the top, where it could be torn off above the window allowing a view of the printing. The teletypewriter is shown without its cover at the right to give an impression of its mechanical complexity.
The standard speed of transmission of U.S. teletypes was 60 6-character words per minute. This was about twice as fast as a skilled manual operator could send or receive. The transmitting shaft of the teletype ran at such a speed that each revolution corresponded to one character, so the basic speed was 360 rpm. The actual speed was 368.1 rpm, which allowed time for the mechanism driven through a clutch to stop and start for each character. In the U.K., the standard speed was 66 wpm and 404 rpm. The drive motor, geared to the transmitting and receiving shafts through clutches, ran continuously at 2100 rpm, and was closely governed to the desired speed. A tuning fork vibrating at 87.6 Hz was used to check the motor speed by viewing a pattern on the rim of the flywheel through a slit between the tuning fork tines, in the manner of a stroboscope. This is a good example of the mechanical solution of problems that would now be attacked electronically. If there were 25 spots on the flywheel, 35 rps x 25 = 875, so that about five spots would pass in one half-vibration of the tuning fork.
The telegraph line was said to have two states, marking when the circuit was closed, and spacing when it was open, names derived from the original Morse register system. A teletype circuit could be neutral, meaning off-on and independent of polarity (direction of current flow), or else polar, when the two states corresponded to opposite directions of current flow. Practically all commercial circuits were polar, but the U.S. Army used neutral circuits. The modern RS-232 asynchronous communication standard uses polar line circuits. Two teletypewriters were connected in series at each end of the line, so that the same current passed through both, and the line was normally held in a marking state. This gave a half-duplex link, in which either end can transmit, but not at the same time. RS-232, with which you may be familiar from computers, is full duplex, but, of course, requires two wires for this.
The U.S. standard Baudot teletypwriter alphabet is shown at the right. The rightmost bit is transmitted first, the leftmost last. A "1" is mark, a "0" space. The six codes at the bottom of the table are independent of LTRS or FIGS shift, having the same interpretations in either. A special alphabet was devised for weather telegraphs, since weather networks had their own special requirements. This alphabet developed into the ASCII 7-bit alphabet without shifts, since electronic equipment do not need them. The idea, however, is exactly the same.
Transmission is easiest to understand. When a key was pressed, its bottom surface pressed inclined cam surfaces on each of five selector bars so that the bars moved to the left for a mark, and to the right for a space. Further motion then moved a bar that closed the transmitting clutch. Then the transmitting shaft began to rotate, carrying with it six circular cams for the start bit and each of the five data bits. The six pairs of contacts were in parallel across the line. Each cam held its contacts open, allowing them to close during its time slot if they were not held back by a locking bar driven by a selector bar. The start-stop cam normally held the line closed. As the shaft began to rotate, the circuit was opened, which would start the receiver at the other end of the circuit. Then each of the five data bits occupied their time slots. If the selector bar was moved to the right, the contacts were held back so they could not follow the cam, and remained open. Otherwise, the contacts closed. When the shaft had rotated almost one full revolution, the start-stop contacts again closed for an interval of about 1-1/2 data bit times before the shaft came to rest, triggering the clutch to disengage and the transmission shaft to brake to a halt.
Receiving is much more complicated, and only the basic idea can be sketched here. The receiver had a selector magnet energized by the line current. When it dropped out as a start bit (spacing) was received, a clutch was engaged and the receiving shaft began to rotate with the standard speed. The selector magnet then was energized or released during each bit time, which moved selector vanes accordingly. When the printing bail, driven by the motor, was moved, it operated only the selected type head, driving it to print as in a typewriter. There was also a function bail that did whatever else could be done besides printing, such as carriage return, line feed, letters shift and numbers shift. The most interesting part of the receiver from an electrical standpoint was the rangefinder, an adjustment made through a small door on the left of the printer. This adjustment selected the window for the mark-to-space and space-to-mark transitions. With the operator at the other end sending RY signals (these were codes 01010 and 10101), the rangefinder was moved one way until the reception became garbled, and this was repeated moving the other way. A setting halfway between was optimum. This adjustment compensated for distortion in the received signal.
Teletype circuits may be neutral or polar d.c. (direct current), carrier, or radioteletype. An example of the carrier type is the modem link for moving data over a telephone line. A more elaborate example is a microwave relay link, which can multiplex many telegraph circuits on a single UHF carrier. Radioteletype is really a kind of carrier, but a special one that uses a HF link and may be very-long-distance. Microwave relay and HF radioteletype were both available and widely used in the 1950's, but satellite communications and optical fibre networks were not yet in service. I will discuss mainly the traditional d.c. circuits here.
A circuit is called metallic if both conductors are of wire, and ground return if only one conductor is of wire, and the other is formed by a ground connection. The ground return was discovered by Steinheil in 1838, and was a general feature of telegraph circuits from then on. The earth is a very good conductor, and the use of a ground return cuts the resistance of a telegraph circuit in half. What is also of importance to commercial enterprises is that it cuts the wire line cost in half at the same time. Telephone circuits do poorly with ground return circuits, but telegraph circuits can function rather well in many circumstances.
A typical teletypewriter circuit had a current of about 60 mA, and was supplied by 110 VDC sources. Resistances were usually used to adjust the current to the proper value. For short links, 20 mA was suitable, and became a standard.
It is necessary to take a great deal of care to get a good ground return. Unpainted, clean metallic pipes that travel distances underground are a good choice when they exist. If one is not available, a ground has to be made. Usually, a rod is pounded into the ground so that it is in contact with soil moisture below frost level. A ground rod embedded 2 ft may have a resistance of 90Ω, 4 ft 50Ω, and 7 ft 30Ω. The resistance figures only show the effect of deeper penetration. Actual resistances depend on the type of soil. The diameter of the ground rod has little importance. A shallow pit 6" deep can be dug, and the rod pounded in until only about 3" is above ground, to which connection is made with a good clamp. Then the pit is filled with 5 lbs of coarse salt, and water poured on. The ground resistance should decrease as the salty water trickles in. Dry sand, gravel and rocks are impossible to make a good ground in. Rods at least 10 ft apart can be connected in parallel to improve the ground. Ground resistance can be measured by using a line from another station with a good ground and measuring the voltage with a known current (or the current with a known voltage).
A bad ground will cause numerous symptoms. If the ground resistance is too high, it may be impossible to get the required line current with the voltages available. There will be great variations between wet and dry weather that will necessitiate adjustments. If more than one circuit shares the same or neighboring ground rods, there may be crossfire (interference or crosstalk) between different circuits due to coupling in the common ground resistance. Ground return circuits suffer from line leakage (to ground), wet-dry effects (because of insulation resistance and leakage), and induction from power lines, neighboring circuits, and earth currents due to ionospheric effects. All of these disturbances are minimized with a metallic circuit.
A simple teletype circuit is shown at the left. A teletypewriter is represented by its transmitter contacts and its receiver electromagnet. This is exactly like a manual telegraph circuit with key and sounder. The divided battery is a means to lower leakage by keeping the average line voltage as small as possible. Here, one end of the line is at +55 V with respect to earth, while the other is -55 V with respect to earth, so that the average absolute potential difference is half what it would be with a battery at one end of the line only. On the other hand, it is often more economical to keep all the batteries at a central location. The total resistance of line and instruments for a current of 60 mA is 1833Ω with 110 V of battery, neglecting leakage.
A common way to get a good telegraph circuit when a telephone circuit was already available was the simplex the telegraph circuit on the metallic telephone circuit using repeating coils. These were 1:1 transformers with center taps. Teletypewriters could be connected in a normal ground-return circuit between the center taps at the two ends. They would not disturb the telephone circuit, while the telegraph circuit would have the two line wires in parallel, decreasing its resistance. The circuit is shown at the right. The proper operation of this circuit, and all like it, depended on balance between its two sides. Lack of balance would cause interference between the telephone circuit and the telegraph circuit. The line wires had to be transposed at suitable intervals to reduce inductive crosstalk. Nevertheless, the telegraph circuit was available with little extra expense.
Two metallic telephone circuits could provide a metallic telegraph circuit in addition with no extra conductors. This was called a phantom group, which again depended critically on the balance between its components. A phantom teletype circuit is shown at the left. Still another arrangement, the simplexed phantom group, could support 3 telephone circuits and 1 teletype circuit over only four wires. In this case, the teletype circuit is simplexed on the phantom telephone circuit, so that six repeating coils are required. All such circuits required rather good metallic circuits to work properly, but gave lots of circuits with little copper. Phantom circuits were common for telephones as long as pole lines existed.
Charles Wheatstone developed a telegraph transmitter that used a punched paper tape rather than a live operator. This made rapid sending practical (Thomas Edison made many experiments along this line, using a chemical receiver). This developed into the perforator, a device with a keyboard that punched the holes in the tape, and the transmitter distributor that read the tape and transmitted the characters over the line. This separated the typing and the transmission, with several advantages. One was that a message to be sent to several destinations (weather, news, lottery results) had only to be perforated once, and could then be sent as often as desired with no additional work. Also, several perforators could be working in times of heavy traffic, with the messages ready to send when a line became available.
The paper tape was a buff-colored, sturdy heavy paper. There was a longitudinal row of smaller holes for the sprocket wheel that drove the tape, and horizontal rows of up to five larger holes. A hole represented a marking condition of the line. On transmission, contact fingers would make contact through the holes to a conducting surface. These would be selected one by one in the proper time intervals by a rotating shaft as in the usual keyboard transmitter. The low-order bit was on the left, the high-order on the right.
There was also the reperforator, that punched a tape as the message was received over the line. This tape could then be used to forward the message, using any transmitter distributor. Paper tape reduced errors in relaying, a traditional and fertile source of mistakes, to nearly zero.
Paper tape was used for communication with a digital computer, such as the IBM 1620 (a discrete-transistor machine with roughly the capabilities of an Apple II). One typed at a perforator, then fed the tape into a distributor. It was necessary to make multiple passes with the source tape, and then a reperforator fed you the object tape, which you then submitted. This took place in the early 1960's.
The semiconductor device that performs the major functions of a teletypwriter is called a Universal Asynchronous Receiver and Transmitter, or UART. The keyboard and printer are not included, of course, but when added the system will emulate a teletypewriter. A typical UART, the AY3-1015D, can be set for five data bits and 1-1/2 stop bits by tying pin 36 high, and pins 37-38 low. A bit rate of 50 bits/s is established by applying a clock of 800 Hz. A typical bit rate generator, the AY5-8116, produces 800 Hz as its lowest-frequency output with a crystal of 5.0688 MHz. This gives a bit time of 20 ms, about the same as the 22 ms that was once standard. Any actual teletypewriter can probably be adjusted to receive 50 bits/s with little trouble.
Of course, the proper codes must be sent to the UART, and they are not the usual ASCII codes. My Cherry B70-05AB keyboard produces ASCII codes. An EPROM could be used to make the conversion, using the ASCII as the look-up address. This would allow the addition of the key codes peculiar to the teletypewriter (such as FIGS, LTRS). A computer could also handle the conversion easily. Conversion will also be necessary on the printer end, and can be handled the same way.

- Building on the success of transferring data between GNU Radio and multimon using a named pipe, I decided to try the same trick to send real time video from Gstreamer to GNU Radio. It worked!
- Implemented a simple video transmission simulator by sending the video through a GMSK modulator, adding noise, then GMSK demodulator. See recorded video.
- Although the MPEG-TS muxer available in Gstreamer can not deliver CBR, sending the GMSK modulated video to the USRP didn't seem to be a problem.
- Having only one USRP I didn't try to receive and decode the video.
- Successful on the air tests of the DVB setup using a videotestsrc
- Location: OZ7SAT
- Repeated on the air tests at OZ7SAT (to be sure that it wasn't just some sort of random luck)
- Video test source: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2VUZ7H60F68
- Logitech Webcam Pro 9000: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RzIe_IWGvmA
- At Høm for the weekend and only brought one USRP and one laptop
- Created a full duplex transceiver version of the GMSK TX+RX so that I could run both transmitter and receiver using only one USRP and computer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJg2zAd3kRY
- The transceiver was running stable for more than 4.5 hours, see last screenshot.
- With this setup, the video appeared to be more choppy than with the two-computer setup.

Post subject: Fin and rig question for Starboard Rio M
Hi. I am pretty new to windsurfing and of course to this forum. I am living in Norway, so due to that my first season is almost over before it even started. I got myself a Starboard Rio M. (206 liters) with a Severne Synergy 7.3 square meters rig. Until now I have been on water 8 times, but probably only 4 of them has been what can bee called sailing. My present level is now that I can somehow tack and gybe in light conditions. I am able to launch and get back. Been in the harness a few times because I could not hold the rig in any other way due to fatigue. I have never been planning, although I have been out in planning conditions (for other windsurfers). I am able to sail my board without the dagger board down on broad reach, and somehow also able to commit to the harness for a small period of time (30-120 seconds before getting thrown off). I probably am a bit heavy for my board being a total beginner, but I feel safe and comfortable with it anyway. I cant see planning happening this year, but I am dreaming about it for the next season. Some stats:
Me, big pie eater at 122 kg (269 lb), 198 cm. tall (6.5).
Conditions are small chops (10- 40 cm.).
Comfortable doing winds up to 7 ms. (13 knots) if not too gusty. I have been out in 9-10 ms, but then I had a terrible time getting back to launch. Not strong enough for that.
Typical winds that people go out in where I live are between 3-8 ms. I am sailing in a small fjord so I will always land some place if not not able to cope.
My first question is if considering my weight and the board, is the stock fin appropriate for me in the long run? This is fin called a Drake Shallow 410.
I have come to learn that the Serverne Synergy maybe is a very basic rig that might not bee perfect for intermediate progression (whenever that starts to happen). Any inputs on sails and sizes?
Finally, I am NOT by far suggesting that my equipment is holding me back, and I have so far enjoyed every second I have been on the water, even when I struggled with the conditions being a bit overwhelming for me.

Hi Frode,
Keep practicing! It's a long road, but if you've been out 8 times and you haven't given up yet, then you are probably going to make it.
Besides practice, getting some help with "tuning" will make a difference. Have a more experienced sailor help you rig the sail with the proper amount of downhaul and outhaul tension, and have them help you put the harness lines in approximately the right place. The sail will be a lot easier to control when it is tuned properly- it will even feel lighter! Since you are so tall, you will probably want to place the boom as HIGH as possible on the mast, at the top of the cutout. The boom should be between your shoulders and your chin.
Also, getting some lessons or watching some instructional videos will help a lot. In windsurfing, a little learning is more useful than a lot of muscle.
A bigger fin (~50 cm) could help you when you're learning to plane, but it won't make that much difference unless you're also using a bigger sail, which you probably aren't quite ready for yet.
When you are ready for a bigger sail, I have a weight-based windsurfing calculator (see link in my signature) that is pretty useful for finding the right size for various wind conditions.
Good luck!
PS- Maybe you can do some snow or ice windsurfing this winter to practice! Just make sure the ice is thick enough.

Frode, the stock fin (41cm) on the RioM is definitely undersized, especially for a big pie-eater
I own the same board, and put a 56cm fin on last year. The board begins to plane much earlier/easier. Huge difference. I would highly recommend it to you!!

If I only had known ANYTHING before deciding to get myself a board and rif ☺ Your calculator looks like a great tool. Wish I had known about it before I made my purchase. I definitely see that I at some point need a bigger sail, and this is really the time to get it. The season here in Scandinavia is almost over, and some of the shops have clearance. I can for instance get a Severne Convert 8 or 8,5 30 % off. The 8,5 looks like the candidate, although your calculator tells me to go even bigger. However, that might not be necessary because I am also happy slogging around in my non planing style. There are small islands here to sail to. Just love being on the water for the moment. Anyway thanks for your reply. Was up reading your blog which I really liked, until late. A month ago I was just an ordinary Joe (or Ola as we say in Norway), now according to your blog I actually have three legs. Anyway, great stuff on your Blog and again, thank you for the reply.

"Getting there"
I always stop and think twice when I hear that a windsurfer will eventually make it. I think you already made it. Your out on the water, having fun.
Every time you get out you will get a little better. How sweet is that!
Live in the moment, enjoy each and every season, because winter is around the corner.
As far as my thinking goes - you made it already - you are windsurfing.
Rio M and Synergy Rig - fantastic combo for a beginner. Pick up another synergy rig that is smaller though so on the high wind days you can play easier.

Welcome fellow big man!
For now, until you get a few planning runs, I would hold off on spending too much. Is your gear holding you back, keeping you from planing? A little, but you'll have a tougher time with what I'm about to describe until you get the fundamentals down pat.
Eventually you'll want a longer and "racey'er" fin. It will get you up on a plane earlier and also allow you to point higher into the wind when you are planing. Probably one of these or similar in the 54 or 57 cm sizes:
Sail-wise a good twin-cam freeride sail will work well with that set-up. I have a 9.5m Ezzy Lion that works well, you probably want to go a little smaller, say around 8.0.
Essentially what you'll be doing is setting up your Rio like an RSX, which WAS the Olympic class for windsurfing. With that set up you'll have a lot of fun getting ready for your first short board.

jFrode welcome to this great sport !!!
I'm 200 lbs (95Kg?) and 6'3" (190 cm?) and I think all this advice you've been given is good.
But I'd also say, practice, practice, practice. Read and learn and ask questions, they're all good. We've all been just where you are
Next - How far are you from Oslo?
Exactly 3 years ago, I was there visiting my cousins. But as I planned my vacation... I looked up on Google, "windsurfing in Oslo" and I eventually found the "Lysakerfjorden Bretsailingclub". I know that I've spelled this wrong, but it's close enough, you'll figure it out
Anyway, I met many very nice people at their "Club Sailing Beach", and I sailed with them twice. They loaned me some extra gear... and this made my trip, very special indeed. My dad had grown up sailing in the Oslo Fjord, as a kid
The two main guys, I spent time with were, Lars and Jakob. They are totally expert windsurfers and very nice guys that are also the top racers there, and are well known in the club. Tell them Greg in Seattle says "Hi".. we've had emails, they will remember.
Anyway, those guys would be very helpful for you to meet, or even email with. They are very knowledgeable and very practical, and would steer you the right way.
Best of luck to you,
Greg (from Seattle)

How to
Use the Activities
Inquiry Question
The creation of soldiers' homes and grave markers helped honor Civil War veterans and preserve their legacy. The policies created after the war to deal with veteran issues are still in place today. The following activities will help students understand how and why these policies evolved and see their effects in their own communities.
Activity 1: African Americans in the Civil War
Divide your class into three sections assigning each section one of the following activities:
a. Have students research Joshua Dunbar's story, write a biography about his life, and present it to the class.b. Joshua Dunbar had a profound impact on the writings of his son, Paul Laurence Dunbar who wrote The Colored Soldiers, The Unsung Heroes, and Our Martyred Soldiers. Have students study the following excerpts from The Colored Soldiers and then lead a class discussion including some of these questions: When was this written? What was the "status" of African Americans in American society during this time? What message was Dunbar trying to convey? Do you think African American contributions to the Civil War were appreciated? Why or why not?
…They were comrades then and brothers,c. Research the contributions of American-American soldiers to the Civil War and report to the class.
Activity 2: Explore Your Community for Memorials
Activity 3: Local Cemeteries
a. Create a database and status report on the markers and present it to the appropriate caretaker of the cemetery.
b. If you locate an unmarked grave, work to get the grave marked with a headstone. Visit the Veterans Benefits and Services website [www.cem.va.gov/hm.htm] to find information about ordering a marker. Work with your local cemetery to order the marker and maintain it.
c. Research how to clean and care for an historic gravestone or marker. Contact your State Historic Preservation Office and/or the Association for Gravestone Studies to learn what techniques, cleaning solutions and tools are appropriate-and what not to do to avoid damaging the stone. Volunteer to help clean the headstones or help with the grounds upkeep.
Activity 4: A Soldier's Life
Some research sources include:

No one's ready to make an official declaration, but it appears the Texans are going to be closer to full strength for Monday's game against the Patriots.
Cornerback Johnathan Joseph and linebacker Bradie James practiced again Friday, and Joseph said he was "absolutely" ready to play.
"It's a long week. We've still got three more days before we play," Texans coach Gary Kubiak said, via Dale Robertson of the Houston Chronicle. "All the steps have been positive. He did more today than yesterday. The same thing with Bradie. They're heading toward playing, but we've got to be smart with them.
"If they all come out of practice fine tomorrow, they should be ready to go. But's not like they took 100 percent of the snaps today."
Joseph has missed the last two games with a hamstring strain. Getting him back would be a huge boost for a banged up secondary, in a game with significant playoff seeding implications.

The recession has put a damper on the lavish, filled with one-upmanship weddings that swept through the country during the early part of this decade. But now a new trend has come along: the viral wedding video.
As Sadie mentioned yesterday, a Minnesota couple named Jill and Kevin saw their wacky aisle procession (a choreographed dance to Chris Brown's "Forever,") quickly go viral, earning them over a million hits on YouTube, as well as invitations to several high-profile morning news programs, including the Today show.
But Jill and Kevin aren't the first couple to see their wedding go viral: a couple posting a clip from their reception wherein the entire wedding party dances to Thriller has received over nine million hits since 2006, and a couple who surprised their guests by busting out a routine to "Baby Got Back" during their first dance has received over seven million hits since 2007. Yet another couple pulled a similar stunt in 2008, to Flo Rida's "Low." And of course, there are the other wacky wedding stunts, like the "light up wedding dress," and the evolution of a wedding dance, which have brought in tons of hits as well.
All of this makes me wonder if perhaps these elaborate wedding routines are being done for the friends and family of the bride and groom, or, perhaps, if they are being done specifically for viral video purposes. I'm inclined to think it's a little from Column A, a little from Column B: you get to have fun and entertain your friends in person, and then perhaps get a little internet celebrity out of it, to boot. In rough economic times, you may not be able to throw the glitziest wedding, but you can still make your way to the Today show just by posting a clip of your friends being goofy on your wedding day. I suspect we'll be seeing a lot of more of these videos over the next year or so, or at least until the next big wedding fad comes along, which could be refreshing or exhausting, depending on how many people decide to try to make their first dance an internet sensation.

First of all there's Virus Lite, a free demo that lets you play with white blood cells that need to fill up your screen while avoiding viruses. For those who don't like playing with blood there's a Pac-Man Lite version that allows you to try out the first level of this classic. Rock'n'Roll Lite gives you a free chance to try out three levels of the full game. We recently reviewed Rock'n'Roll and gave it a four out of five.

PS: She also makes AMAZING jewelry! Go check out the Splendor Shop.
Grab a button and link up, then go leave some love to encourage others!
One afternoon, after we'd been swimming for a while, we got out of the pool to grab a snack. Mia was fussy so I turned my attention to feed her. I looked up to check in on Bella. In a split second, I realized Bella had walked down the stairs of the pool and into the water without her floaties on. She was kicking her little feet as fast they could go, not able to reach the bottom. Gasping as she struggled to keep her head above water. It felt like my body wouldn't move fast enough to get to her. My mind racing, my mouth yelling out to her, but my body wasn't going fast enough. I jumped in the water and grabbed her. She was shaken up, but fine. I held her and told her it was ok. I wrapped her in a towel and sat her on my lap as she calmed down.
She was quiet.
A few minutes later, she asked me, "Mommy, why didn't Jesus pick me up out of the water?"
I told her he did. Cause mommy was there and saw her quick enough to get her out of the water before anything happened. That her angels were protecting her and helped mommy see her.
Later that night, after I tucked her in bed, she asked me that question again. Wondering why she didn't see Jesus protecting her. I reminded her that her angels and Jesus are always watching over her and keeping her safe, even though she can't see them. That they did save her. Even though it didn't happen the way she thought it should. They did protect her.
I loved that she asked that question. I loved that she challenged what I've always taught her…that God will always be with her and protect her.
She's only 3 years old. She doesn't fully understand the concept that even though we can't always see God in situations, and even though things don't happen the way we think they should, He's there. Protecting us, guiding us, directing and loving us. Always with the best for us in mind.
But I think a lot of us still don't understand that concept. We wonder why bad things happen to good people. We wonder why He doesn't answer a prayer right away or in the way we think He should. We think maybe He's not listening. We wonder, maybe we did something wrong. Something to deserve the bad. The trials. The struggles.
I once had a friend ask me if I thought that what has happened to me, losing my 2 sweet girls at 20 and 24 weeks, was because of something I had done. She wasn't accusing. She wasn't implying. She was honestly seeking answers. Grasping for logic. Why bad things happen to good people.
I was happy she asked me that question. I was happy to tell her what I believed, because it's come from deep conversations with God. Some real searching.
For some reason I think we're quick to place blame. On ourselves. Our actions. Decisions. Whatever it is. We think it must be something we did. We must have deserved it. We pray so hard for a certain outcome. A job. Healing. A baby.
It didn't happen the way we thought it would or when we thought it should. We must not have deserved it.
But I don't think that is true. I think….no I know, that I serve a God who loves us. Who wants only the best for us. I did battle with questions and accusations after I lost our babies. It was almost easier to grasp the first time we lost a baby, Grace Anne. We could believe the Dr.'s term of calling it a "fluke"-- something that just happened with no real apparent reason. We could blame it on chromosomal abnormalities. On her being sick. That was a little easier to take.
But when it happened again, when we lost Faith Marie. That was hard. Heart breaking. Earth shattering. It rocked my world. My ideas, thoughts, and perceptions of everything I'd ever been taught.
I had to ask God some very real questions. And I had to get some real answers. I knew deep down, that it wasn't anything I did. That I didn't deserve any of it. That we live in a fallen world with loss, tragedy and suffering. That there is an enemy who comes to steal, kill and destroy.
I knew these things. But I think God still wanted me to ask the questions. I think he wants us to dig deeper. Not to settle on the cliche's or general answers that we've been taught all of our lives. To challenge them. To challenge Him.
Because thats when our relationships get deeper. Stronger. We have a real, personal understanding of God and who He is. A loving God. Who doesn't do things to us to teach us lessons. Who doesn't take or withhold good things from us. Thats not the God I know and serve. And with that knowledge, I'm OK with not knowing the answers. Not know fully understanding the "why's."
Because in my seeking, I found something more priceless than any answer I could have received.
I hope Bella doesn't settle for the answers I gave her. I hope as she grows, she continues to challenge them. That she matches up the word to them. Seeks and finds them on her own. Because I know that is when she will fully know that even when we don't feel him lifting us up out of our struggles, He's there. And He always will be.

Sunday Brunch: Dill Yorkshire Puddings With Smoked Salmon and Horseradish Cream
How to make the best meal of the week even better.
Editor's note: Each Saturday morning we bring you a Sunday Brunch recipe. Why on Saturday? So you have time to shop and prepare for tomorrow.
Our friends across the pond are responsible for many great culinary contributions—sausage rolls, full breakfasts, tea sandwiches, shepherd's pie—but I can't think about British food without thinking of Yorkshire pudding. For those poor souls who haven't had a good Yorkie, it's very similar to a popover, made by baking a simple batter of egg, flour, and milk in hot fat or oil until puffed and golden. While the most traditional recipes call for cooking the pudding in a pan set beneath a roast to catch the flavorful, meaty drippings, a few key changes make this version a perfect dish for brunch.
First, instead of making one large pudding, here we pour the batter into a muffin tin to produce individually-sized portions that are easier to divide among multiple people. Preheating the muffin tin in a hot oven helps the puddings puff up light and crisp. And to make the Yorkshires a more flavorful pairing for the smoked salmon and horseradish cream, I spike the batter with dill and garlic.
What I love about this brunch is that, with a little planning, it makes an impressive spread in just a few minutes. Both the horseradish cream and the batter can be made a day in advance and refrigerated. All that's left is heating the oven and baking the puddings when you're ready to eat (just be sure to bring the batter out of the fridge while you preheat the oven so that it can come to room temperature).
Once baked, serve the Yorkshire puddings right, away while they're hot and puffed—they tend to deflate quickly as they sit, even over just a couple of minutes. To avoid fallen Yorkies, plate the salmon, horseradish cream and garnishes while you're baking the pudding. That way, they can go straight from the muffin tin to the table with little diddling in between.

PALMER � The Bish family has been cheered in recent days by the possibility that construction workers clearing a huge site for a race track here could unearth more remains of 16-year-old Molly Bish, the Warren lifeguard who disappeared in 2000.
About two dozen of Molly's bones were found in the vicinity of the track in 2003.
The 650-acre car racing and testing complex is being built near the Ware line, off West Ware Road in the Whiskey Hill area.
Magdalene Bish, Molly's mother, said family members hope that a piece of clothing bearing DNA of Molly's presumed murderer could be unearthed.
Up until now, a small piece of her bathing suit is the only other garment that has been found, and with advances in DNA technology, the Bishes hope a "missing link" could be established to lead investigators to a suspect, and ultimately, justice for Molly.
"We're looking for anything that would help give us information," Mrs. Bish said. "It would help give us Molly back."
Last week, Molly's sister, Heather, of West Brookfield, got in touch with Ann Marie Mires, a forensic anthropologist at Anna Maria College in Paxton who has worked with the Molly Bish Center at the school.
Ms. Mires spoke with officials of the Palmer Motorsports Park and the construction company, and they agreed to look carefully for any remains as they worked, Mrs. Bish said.
On Friday, a state police search dog was brought to the property as well, Mrs. Bish said.
"They were very, very conscientious and took it very seriously about what they could come across," Mrs. Bish said. "They also said they'd be very happy and willing to put up a memorial for Molly.
"That pleased our family that they would be so kind," she added.

About the Author
Praise for Cybertraps for Educators
"Educators are not only expected to be experts in content, curriculum, and pedagogy, they are also tasked with meeting the holistic needs of a highly vulnerable population. As a result, the emotional and intellectual interplay that occurs daily between students and educators is laden with professional risks. By utilizing authentic headline-grabbing cases, coupled with expertise leveraged from his vast experience as both an attorney and a computer forensics expert, Frederick Lane communicates an unescapable narrative … the cyber landscape for educators is treacherous, and inattentiveness is indefensible. Provocative … compelling … razor sharp … with solutions that work. This book is a must read." — Dr. Troy R. Hutchings, Research Chair for the College of Education and School of Advanced Studies at the University of Phoenix.
"This book provides the topographic map which teachers need to steer clear of major hazards in the rapidly changing digital landscape. Mr. Lane's sought after expertise remains both illuminating and accessible." — Dr. Glenn S. Lipson, a forensic psychologist and program director of the California School of Forensic Science at Alliant International University.
