text: luvphantom Report post Posted October 31, 2008 http://www.kentucky.com/695/story/574352.html RocknRolla': Guy Ritchie delivers, slowly By Roger Moore The Orlando Sentinel How odd is it that it takes Guy Ritchie an hour of screen time to remember how to be Guy Ritchie for his latest gangland-slangland romp, RocknRolla? Pretty bloody odd. The "British Tarantino" has whipped in all the usual Ritchie riches — London gangsters, ruthless foreigners, dishonor among thieves and one pricey plot device. But for the first hour, RocknRolla — which is about Russian mobsters-turned-developers making payoffs to a London mob boss, an accountant arranging robberies, a missing painting, a junkie rocker who has faked his death and the happy-go-goofy villains trapped in the middle of it all — is painfully slow of foot. Ritchie has tossed so much into the salad that every one of his signature monologues — the old-school mob boss (Tom Wilkinson) gives a dissertation on American crayfish, a beefy street hoodlum with a taste for British costume films discusses his appreciation for the painter Whistler — stops the movie cold. Ritchie dawdles that first hour in setting the table for his heroes, "The Wild Bunch" (Gerard Butler and Idris Elba), putting them in jeopardy, but not really. Russians are tricked, a bored accountant (Thandie Newton in bombshell mode) double-crosses, the missing painting turns up with the missing (and supposedly dead) rocker (Toby Kebbell), threats are made, slang is slung. But even if we're "in there like swim wear," the picture cannot get up to speed. Even the motor-mouthed Jeremy Piven, playing a music promoter (opposite Luda cris) seems to be asleep. Butler is charming and tough (his character, "One-two," is homo phobic and embarrassed by it); Wilkinson devours the scenery with relish; Newton vamps inscrutably. The charismatic narrator (Mark Strong), a mob lieutenant, can't keep the stories straight or pick up the tempo. It's as if Ritchie has shoved every cool character he couldn't fit into a movie during the Madonna years into one cluttered film. But then, finally, Ritchie (Snatch; Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels) juggles all the balls into the air, and the picture takes flight. Competing mobs collide, a heist goes wrong, "Virginia killing sticks" are smoked, murderers murder and RocknRolla reminds us of how cool Ritchie was before Madonna doused his fire. Pity he makes us wait so long. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Improvement seen in both current and expected North American business conditions
Source: NEMA
Dec 10, 2010
The Electroindustry Business Confidence Index (EBCI) for current North American business conditions climbed 14.5 points in November, rising to 62.5 from 48 a month ago. With a reading above 50 indicating more panelists than not reporting better conditions than a month ago, and vice-versa, these results show widespread improvement in the business environment across the electroindustry in November, in contrast to the modest deterioration seen in October.
Meanwhile, the EBCI for North American conditions six months in the future rose for the third month in a row. The index reached 75, its highest mark since May 2010, and is up a cumulative 21 points since August 2010. A majority of panelists (54%) expect to see better conditions by May 2011, compared to only 4% expecting worse conditions six months hence.

Herve Leger has long been the king of club-worthy bandage dresses, and they've been cloned a million times by mall brands the world over. But Jonathan Simkhai's spring/summer 2014 collection takes the sexy staple and gives it a chic, much-needed update. There was one particularly appealing number in navy blue with a wrap-around cutout that caught our eye, and an even skimpier peach version that can only be described as drop-dead sexy, but as usual, Simkhai's designs highlight a variety of carefully structured shapes. It's that attention to technique that makes him one of the best young designers out there, in our book.
In this designer's circle of coolly minimalist, pattern-focused trends, the boxy tops and jackets that have dominated the runways don't always leave room for something more suited to a night out. Not that we mind — there are also some intentionally stiff, oversized pieces we'll definitely be rocking once this collection hits the racks. Simkhai's take on those multifaceted, tomboy-ish miniskirts that have been so prevalent lately is also a refreshing and slightly more grown-up way of interpreting the style. Oh, and if you're a fan of stripes, there are plenty of reasons to fall in love here! Hit the slideshow for the good stuff, photographed by our favorite super-Pinner Bonnie Tsang.

MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. – The Georgia College men's basketball program and head coach Terry Sellers have added David Gallagher to the coaching staff as an assistant coach.
Gallagher spent last season as the Assistant Boys Varsity Coach at John Milledge Academy, picking up the honor of Georgia Independent School Association (GISA) All-Star Team Assistant Coach. He helped guide the Trojans to the AAA State Tournament Elite 8. He also served as a middle school football assistant coach.
"Coach Gallagher is an outstanding young coach with a bright future," said Sellers. "We are fortunate to have someone with coach Gallagher's background and experience join our staff."
Prior to the move to Milledgeville, Gallagher was the Head Boys Varsity Basketball Coach at Advanced Math & Science Academy Charter School in Marlborough, Mass. for two seasons. The 2011-12 Worcester County Athletic Conference (WCAC) Coach of the Year, he guided AMSA to a spot in the Central Mass Division III Playoffs.
A 2009 graduate of Auburn University Montgomery, Gallagher was the two-time AUM Male Scholar-Athlete of the Year. He added Southern States Athletic Conference (SSAC) Male Honor Student of the Year in 2009 as well. A member of three NAIA National Tournament Teams in his four years, AUM picked up two conference titles and one conference tournament title with him on the roster.
Gallagher's wife, Tinna, is the Assistant Coach for Bobcat soccer.
The Bobcats battled through the 2012-13 season, a 9-17 year with a 5-14 conference mark. Senior forward Scott Ferguson earned a slot on the All-Peach Belt Conference (PBC) Third Team. Georgia College finished the season third in the PBC in fewest turnovers per game (11.3) and second in defending the three-point shot (.306). Sellers picked up his 200th PBC win this season, his 20th at the helm of Bobcat basketball.
The Georgia College Department of Athletics, two-time winners of the PBC Commissioner's Cup, sponsors 11 varsity athletic programs at the NCAA Division II level. As a Division II program, Bobcat Athletics prides itself on balancing the life of the student-athlete, evidenced by the teams' multiple appearances in post-season competition as well as documented academic success and community-service involvement.

Don't forget to fish fresh water
I have not abandoned writing about freshwater fishing. Normally by mid-summer, the saltwater action has taken precedence. That doesn't mean that the sweetwater action has ceased. According to Rayburn professional guide Will Kirkpatrick, the topwater action is really good. The secret is to be on the water when first light appears in the east. The fish seem to be most active around newly exposed structures and patches of vegetation.
If you are not familiar with either Sam Rayburn or Toledo Bend, don't do the before-daylight thing. Both lakes are from 9 to 10 feet below full pool stage. There are many once submerged stumps, logs and other boat wrecking structure now slightly below the surface. Even a GPS unit will not usually show all of the hazards. If you do head out, be extra alert and take your time.
Once the topwater action stops, then head for the submerged points. Crankbaits in green and Carolina rigged plastics worms have been taking some good bass. There are a good number of Kentucky spotted bass on the sandy points. These fish are fun to catch, but they are too small to keep, for the most part. Every now and then a keeper shows up. Their flesh is really great on the table. It is pure white.
In my opinion, Lake Livingston has been the go-to lake for fish catching. The lake is full and white bass, catfish, and yes, largemouth black bass have been giving anglers plenty of battle time.
Toledo Bend's water level is even lower than on Sam Rayburn. Whenever the lake becomes as low as it has become now, some of the boat launch areas are not useable. I recommend calling around to some of the marinas and be sure that there is sufficient water to launch and run an outboard motor.
Although they aren't as popular as they once were, the bluegills are super active in the reservoir. They are fun to catch on ultra-light tackle and they are a table-fare favorite of many folks. The larger ones may be filleted with the small filets being deep-fried or prepared any way that other fish are. The smaller ones can be scaled, the ribs and intestines removed along with the head and deep fried whole. The flesh will easily slide from the bones and the crispy tail and other fins may be eaten, also. Just avoid getting a bone into your throat.
Catfishing for blue and channel catfish has been good on all three lakes. Lake Livingston has probably been the top producer, but both Rayburn and Toledo Bend are right in there. In fact, the larger blue cats have been more numerous at Toledo Bend's upper areas. Yes, the water is low, but there are hungry catfish in the remainder of the lake.Lake Livingston is one of the places where the blue and channel catfish seem to be hungry almost each and every day. Shad are the most popular bait on this lake. Jugs, noodles and trotlines are super popular catching methods, but rod and reel anglers do extremely well here.
On Sam Rayburn, the better action for catfish has been over submerged brush piles in 18 to 20 feet deep water. Cut bait, live bluegill and commercial bait has all been taking the catfish. Folks after crappie and using shiners for bait are not only taking crappie, but also catfish and white bass.
Rayburn's black bass bite has been an early morning situation. After that, it goes to crank baits and plastics.
On the saltwater scene, the recent rains might not have cured the drought completely. What it did do was make the action in the inland lakes and bays even better, if that is possible. There has also been an influx of speckled trout at the Sabine Jetty, in Lighthouse Cove and at the short rigs off Cameron, La. There are lots of speckled trout inland, but many of them are too small to meet Texas size limits. The fish at the short rigs are larger. The question now is how long will they stay there?
Some of the folks heading offshore are reporting the need to go out past 40 miles in order to find blue water. I'm sure that there are plenty fish in closer than that, but my reports are from 40 miles and further out. There is a good variety of fish out there including some big red snapper, ling and king. The amberjack, tuna, and other blue water species are better farther out.
It has long been my contention that the best way to locate and catch fish is to put a lure or bait in the water. Always watch the weather and avoid getting too hot in doing so.

Pappa al Pomodoro is a thick and hearty tomato based Tuscan soup, thickened with bread. It makes use of the simplest of ingredients- tomatoes, bread, garlic and olive oil- yet it's so rich and full of flavor. This is easily one of the most delicious soups I've tasted in a long time.
I only wish I'd had fresh basil while making the soup as it would have taken the flavors to a whole new level, but it was not too bad even without basil leaves. I did not want to use the dried basil that I had for this recipe.
This soup is the outcome of the recipes I saw here here and here, and is a great way to use up leftover bread.
(For 3-4 servings)
1 14.5 oz can of diced tomatoes (mine also had basil, garlic and oregano)
½ onion, sliced
4-5 cloves of garlic, peeled
3 cups stale bread, cut into cubes (I used the Italian bread that I had)
4 tbsp olive oil
Red pepper flakes
3 cups water or as required
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Spread the cherry tomatoes (no need to halve these), the sliced onions and the garlic cloves on a baking sheet lined with foil. Add 2 tbsp olive oil, salt and pepper. Mix well to coat the vegetables. Bake at 375 degrees F for 25-30 minutes until vegetables are soft and caramelized.
In a large saucepan, add the can of diced tomatoes. Cook for a few minutes and then add the roasted vegetables to it. Season with salt, pepper and red pepper flakes.
Add 2 cups of water, bring to a boil, reduce the heat and then simmer for 20-25 minutes.
Meanwhile, spread the bread cubes on a baking sheet lined with foil. I used the same baking sheet from above, just replaced the foil. Toss the bread cubes around in 2 tbsp olive oil, salt and pepper. Toast for 15-20 minutes at 250 degrees F.
Toss the toasted bread cubes into the soup and mix well. The bread absorbs all the liquid in the soup as it cooks. Add the rest of the water. Mix well and continue to cook for some more time. Adjust the seasoning as required and keep checking and stirring the soup every now and then.
I did not like having large pieces of tomatoes in my soup, so I used my immersion blender and pureed everything just a little bit. Simmer on low-medium heat for another 5-10 minutes till the soup develops a texture similar to that of a thick and creamy porridge. Add more water or stock, if necessary, to achieve desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper. Serve hot.
The soup tastes even better the next day but it becomes very thick, so you would need to add some water or stock (I used milk) to thin it out. Also adjust the salt and pepper. Simmer for a few minutes and serve.
This soup is my entry for No Croutons Required: The Birthday Edition, hosted this month by Holler who is celebrating her birthday the entire month.
Here's a predominantly Italian menu to go with the soup.
Parmesan Popovers
Parmesan cups with mango salsa
Potato gratin
Cannellini beans with cheese and basil
Ricotta and Nutella phyllo shells
Happy Birthday, Holler!

VMware CTO Steve Herrod announced he is leaving his post at VMware as CTO and senior vice president of research and development to join venture capital firm General Catalyst Partners in its Palo Alto office, where he will become a partner and managing director investing in and supporting early-stage enterprise companies.
Herrod, who has been named CTO of the Year by InfoWorld, played a pivotal role in the creation and development of virtualization technology. At VMware, he was instrumental in helping the company build a world-class engineering organization that has created numerous industry-changing virtualization technologies. He was also active in developing VMware's partner ecosystem, patent portfolio, and open source strategy.
[ Also on InfoWorld: 7 of the biggest server virtualization news stories in 2012 | 7 top desktop virtualization stories in 2012 | Track the latest trends in virtualization in InfoWorld's Virtualization Report newsletter. ]
A VMware community fan favorite and one of the more visible, accessible executives at VMware, Herrod will be missed by many after his 11-year tenure with the virtualization giant. The move leaves VMware with big shoes to fill. With his departure, VMware also loses a powerful evangelist for the company's technology.
Reaching out to his community base, Herrod spilled the beans about his departure with a quick tweet to his followers, simply saying: "After 11 awesome years at @VMware, off to a new adventure at General Catalyst (@gcvp). Exciting and emotional!"
This tweet was followed up with emotional responses from Herrod's many followers.
His tweet also took people to what will perhaps be his final post on the VMware "Office of the CTO" corporate blog site, where he announced further details about his departure.
For more than 11 years, I have had the privilege of sharing details about the remarkable products, people, partnerships, and strategies that make up the VMware family. I have shared these via this blog, at our VMworld or vForum events, on twitter, in 1-on-1 discussions, or with my many friends in the VMUG, vExpert, PTAB, and other technical groups. I have enjoyed these interactions immensely and learned so much from my time in this role. And so today it is with both excitement and sadness that I announce my transition from VMware to a new adventure as managing director at General Catalyst, a premier venture capital firm jointly based in Cambridge, Massachusetts and Palo Alto, California.

So I was looking up some really pretty blossom art and I came across a beautiful Asian painting that looked like what I thought was a cherry blossom tree. To my surprise it was an Asian style painting on a plum tree with flowers scattered around. I really liked how it looks so I used the idea to make my own digitally but in a simple format. Today we will tackle the task of learning "how to draw a plum blossom", step by step. The Asian inspired tree design came out looking really pretty. Plum blossoms actually originated in China, but like always beauty spreads and soon the tree was introduced to places like Japan, Korea, Taiwan and Vietnam. The plum blossom is actually a deciduous plant (plants that loose their leaves every season). The flowers or blossoms on a plum tree can range in a variety of colors like white, bright pink, a mild purple, and even a combination of both. So, do these trees actually give off fruit? Why of course they do, they give you plums. So the next time you see a tree that might look like a cherry blossom, look closely because it could just be a plum tree. Have fun drawing a plum blossom folks, I will return in a bit. Peace and enjoy.

....aaaand Wrigley goes dark
Speaking of which - Dodgers/Red Sox World Series.....that would be fun, wouldn't it? Unless the Sox ultimately prevailed, of course. I don't need that kind of fun in my life.
6 comments:
When asked what would happen if the Cubs won the World Series, Dempster jokingly commented,"I'd say the top of the Budweiser building blows off. People storm the field. Huge chunks of ivy are ripped off the walls. Police cars are turned over on Addison, on Waveland, on Sheffield, and you can't walk within a 45-block radius of Wrigley Field because people will be drinking there for seven to 10 days. What a great feeling."[3] He is also known for his Harry Caray impression. Most notably, he announced the Cubs' starting lineup while speaking like Caray before a nationally televised baseball game on Fox Sports.

I was at this party last night and I was talking to a buddy of mine (a big Jays fan) and this chick who said she was a massive Red Sox fan.
I mention that I might want a Red Sox/Dodgers world series. My friend instantly gets pissed and says "fuck that". The chick is all excited... until I mention how Manny will walk into Fenway and Sox fans will hate him and boo him.
I kid you not, tears started welling up in her eyes, "no! no! no! I don't want that!!"
"Well, do you want Manny to hit bombs and help the Dodgers win games?"
"No! I just..."
And she walked away because she couldn't handle the idea of disliking Manny or the Sox losing at his hands.
Sounds like a good time to me.
(unless, like you said, the Red Sox win)

I'm not going to say anything or laugh at Cubs fan. Like the post says, going out like complete bitches was bad enough.
I'm all for Dodgers/Red Sox and I will go out and buy a Dodgers jersey and cheer my ass off for them.
Fuck the Red Sox, fuck Papi, fuck Youk, fuck Pedroia, Jason Bay - you're cool, and fuck Varitek. Oh, and fuck Papelbon, that bitch.

manny winning the world series for the dodgers against the sox would be so fucking fantastic...all this talk about how Manny isn't a professional baseball player is driving me mental
- October 5, 2008 at 9:30 PM
joanna and Co, it probably won't come to that. It would probably be Rays/Phillies! BUT if it is Hollywood VS Beantown THEN the Red Soxs are a shoe-in. Torre is Francona's bitch. Sorry folks, the Rays are the lesser of two eveils because Hollywood would fold like a cheap camera to Boston. But that won't happen BECAUSE the Phillies will win!

Despite a point in mid-week when it looked like the dollar might finally be in for a real correction, the dichotomy of economic performance between the US and most of the rest of the world appears to be growing once again.
The notes from the Federal Markets Open Committee on Wednesday caused a real retracement in the dollar across several currencies, the like of which has not been seen in several months. Over the course of an hour, the pound gained 128 pips against the dollar; AUD gained 91 and the yen 52. The euro managed to gain 89 pips in just over 30 minutes.
Underlining the lack of evidence for a rate rise, communicating that any change in policy would not come as a surprise or ahead of schedule, and forecasting weaker US growth thanks in part to the strong dollar had its desired effect: but not for long.
A combination of bad economic news from Germany, hawkish comments from key Federal Reserve committee members that appeared to contravene Janet Yellen's doctrine, and the continued bullish endeavours of the markets ensured that the dollar started this week in a very similar position to last, as demonstrated by the chart (from IG's global forex trading system) that shows AUD, GBP and EUR retracing gains made on Wednesday October 8 by Sunday 12..
Indeed, those in Australia, the eurozone or the UK could be forgiven for wondering whether the Fed minutes' release actually happened and wasn't dreamt. At 9am on Monday morning, the Australian dollar was just a couple of pips higher than it had been a week before. The pound and euro were both down; only the yen had made a gain against the dollar. The yen's ability to buck the trend of dollar strength in the past couple of weeks has been remarkable, and possibly due to worries over international conflicts and the continuing horror of the Ebola outbreak.
Unless it becomes unmistakably clear that the US will not be the first major economy to instigate a rate rise, it appears that the dollar will continue to grow in the long term. And the markets seem extremely reluctant to pay heed to any other situation.
Pay heed they should, though. There are several other factors that will affect the markets in a major way come 2015. The long period of low interest rates that will shortly come to an end is unprecedented, and its repercussions will be far and wide.
It also became yet clearer last week that economies over most of the world are currently lagging someway behind the US. In a situation perhaps unthinkable at the beginning of the year, Germany is facing recession once more and desperately needs some positive economic news to improve its outlook. Germany underperforming makes the entire eurozone look even weaker, with Italy, France and Spain all written off as saviours for the region.
Of course, for most that will only push the dollar higher, as it becomes the only currency to benefit from higher interest rates. But there are other sides to the story. The US has been here before, with strong dollar runs in both the 80s and 90s eclipsing its current move. Studies have shown that those runs led to a decrease in manufacturing jobs, which in turn led to a suspicion that other economies were taking American jobs off of the back of weaker currencies. With so many other currencies currently in a position to do just that, allowing the dollar to gain even more strength could be problematic for both the Federal Reserve and Barack Obama.
And it isn't just the eurozone that's proving to be weaker than expected in 2014. Growth in key Asian markets has been seen to be slowing markedly faster than expected. Commodity trading is seeing all-time lows for key metals, food and oil. Whilst the dollar's strength is currently a boon to many central banks, if it becomes completely dominant the story may change, and the US could start facing problems. A rate rise would compound the issue: debt is still very much a part of every country's balance sheet, so raising rates could have the duel impact of both drastically increasing the value of the dollar and making other countries debt worse.
That picture becomes even starker in emerging economies, where the capital competition that would arise in the US would hugely undermine growth. Any rate rise in the US would cause an exodus of capital from emerging economies, forcing them to undertake drastic measures to keep investors interested. Not only could that exacerbate many of the issues already underlined, it could also have wider political and social implications that the US will be keen to avoid.
The story that was set out for 2014 – where markets blossomed as confidence, strength and capital returned to economies and equities – has so far failed to materialise. To assume that it will in 2015 is dangerously short sighted, especially as there is a raft of political, economic and market-led issues that do not look likely to be resolved anytime soon.

My wife and I launched into the new year with a renewed effort to get organized and also updated technologically with our budget. We started searching for new apps and soon landed on the Crown Financial site. I had purchased their Money Map software several years ago and was pleased to see that they had a new online Mvelopes tool for online envelope budgeting. We began their free trial and knew this was for us. We entered in our account information, income, set up a budget, and funded envelopes according to that budget. We have access through the Mvelopes app to record every purchase wherever we are to keep track of our monthly spending. We love it!
It is easy to get started but comes with many tools to help. There are great videos about managing your money and a helpful debt center. There is even opportunity to sign up for personal coaching for advice and your personal questions. We wholeheartedly recommend Mvelopes to everyone!
Check out Crown's site for their great financial information and resources from a Christian perspective and Mvelopes in particular for their great money management app.
What are some other apps you have found helpful to manage your money?

GALEP-5 Palm-Size Device Programmer with 48 universal pin drivers and USB port.
Due to its pocket size and power supply independence, the universal programmer GALEP-5 is the ideal solution for development, service, and mobile chip programming. Its high speed allows using it as a production programmer - and with its JTAG debugging capabilities, even as a microcontroller development system. A real universal talent — and this for the lowest price per device in the industry!
GALEP-5 is a universal programmer for devices of the following types: PROM, EPROM, EEPROM, FLASH memory, serial EEPROM, NV-RAM, LPC, FPGA, PLD, EPLD, GAL, PALCE, PIC, Microcontroller (MCU). More than 33,000 devices are currently supported (GALEP-5 device list). If you need a device that's not yet in the list, please use the free Device on Demand Service — Conitec willl implement any programmable device usually within 2 to 4 weeks.
The GALEP-5 device programmer fits into your jacket pocket and weighs less than 200g, compared to 3..4 lbs of bulky competitor products. It is completely powered through the USB bus and does normally not require any additional power supply. Only when the device to be programmed consumes more than 500 mA, which is the case for few old NMOS devices and some microcontrollers, the included power adapter or batteries (6xAAA) can be used.
GALEP-5 is uncompromisingly designed for speed. An internal 200-MIPS ARM9 processor under Embedded Linux handles communication and programming. An FPGA (user-programmable logic) device controls the pin drivers and supports hardware acceleration of the programming algorithms by setting up internal state machines and UARTs. This way, even time-critical devices can be programmed in a speed that could never be reached by pure software. Hardware acceleration makes GALEP-5 one of the fastest device programmers on the market today. For instance, a MB91F467 Fujitsu Microcontroller (8 Mb) needs only 19 seconds for a serial program/verify cycle; 256 Mb NOR Flash (28F256P30) is programmed and verified in 170 seconds. The internal 64 MByte RAM serves as data storage and allows to transfer the data only once for programming multiple devices.
A custom-designed universal pin driver IC guarantees optimal signal quality at the output pins, and allows the small size and low power consumption of all GALEP chip programmers. Each of the 48 pins can generate the following signals:
The switching regulators for the programming voltages are controlled by D/A converters in 100 mV steps. Further D/A converters are used to control the logic levels and the input threshold. For maximum protection of the programmable device, all voltages are permanently monitored by an independent circuit.
The signals for In-System Programming (ISP) can be taken from a separately available ISP adapter or directly from the 48-pin ZIF socket. The help system provides information about the wiring of the target system for all supported components.
The GALEP-5 program runs under Windows 95, 98, ME, NT4, 2000, XP, and Vista. Besides basic functions such as erase, read, program and compare, split and shuffle, it features easy-to-use configuration options for any special functions required by the selected device. The editor supports binary, Intel-Hex, Motorola-S or JEDEC file format. Mass production is supported by providing statistics functions and serial number generation. JTAG Support: Delete, program and verify components with JTAG interface (joint test action group, IEEE Std. 1149.1). The following formats are supported: SVF-Script in XSVF(Xilinx) format; JAM byte code player (ALTERA). Batch mode: Run GALEP-5 from the command line, or implement GALEP commands in your own production software. The programmer can be completely controlled by a set of powerful batch commands. Updates: The software is permanently improved for supporting new components (device list).
With GALEP-5 you can debug all microcontrollers with JTAG interface that are supported by the OpenOCD (On Chip Debugger) software — ARM7, ARM9, XScale, and Cortex-M3 MCUs. The chip to debug is simply put into GALEP's programming socket or connected with GALEP through a cable or ISP adapter (please find details in the OpenOCD documentation). Additionally you can easily define test algorithms for in circuit testing of complete circuit boards (Boundary Scan) for small series production. This way your GALEP-5 becomes a complete development, test and production system!
Prior to each function, GALEP checks the power consumption, correct positioning, and the contacts of all pins of the selected component. This effectively prevents any accidental damage to the component or the programmer.
GALEP-5 programs all components in DIL sockets up to 48 Pins between 300 and 600 MIL (ca. 7.5 to 16 mm) wide, without additional adapters. Universal socket adapters are available for all components with up to 48 pins. Only one adapter per socket is required; few adapters = small system costs! Adapters for components with more than 48 pins are also available. Because the pin number of the programming device is smaller than the pin number of the components, such adapters are specialized. If you have to program components with a high pin number frequently, a GALEP-5D (with up to 240 pin drivers) might be the more effective solution. All GALEP-4 adapters can be used with GALEP-5. Adapters for the following sockets are available: SOIC, SOP, TSOP, SSOP, TSSOP, PLCC, QFP, TQFP, MLF.

Venezuela President Hugo Chávez pictured with a painting
of Simón Bolivar in the background.
Photo: AP
March 28, 2010
In 2007 and 2008, my wife and I traveled to the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela — where Simón Bolivar is revered as a national hero, the country's liberator from Spain. We were, therefore, cautioned never to show disrespect for Bolivar. Hugo Rafael Chávez Frias, the current president of Venezuela, frequently links himself to this legendary figure to gain popular support for his programs both at home and abroad. But who exactly is Simón Bolivar?
Simón Bolivar was born in Caracas, Venezuela in 1783. At age 16, he was sent abroad to continue his education in Spain and France where he was introduced to the progressive works of Rousseau and Voltaire. He married Spaniard Maria Teresa and returned to Venezuela. Unfortunately, Maria Teresa died 8 months later of yellow fever. He never married again but had many lovers, including Manuela Saenz affectionately known as Manuleta, whom he met in 1822 and who was with him until a few days before he died. After Maria Teresa's death, he returned to France and met with the leaders of the French Revolution. Bolivar then traveled to the United States to witness the U.S. after the American Revolution. He returned to Caracas filled with revolutionary ideas and quickly joined pro-independence groups. Bolivar's military career began under Francisco de Miranda. When Miranda was captured by the Spanish in 1812, Bolivar took command.
Over the next decade, Bolivar commanded the independence forces in numerous battles, including the key battle of Carabobo, which brought independence for Venezuela. Bolivar also brought independence from Spanish rule to the entire northwest of South America, creating the Gran Colombia in what today comprises Venezuela, Colombia, Panama, Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia. Because his central government could not govern such a large land mass with its racial and regional differences, his Gran Colombia lasted just a decade. Disillusioned and in bad health, Bolivar resigned the presidency of Gran Colombia in early 1830. He died in December 1830 at age 47, in Santa Marta, Colombia, while on his way to Europe. Ironically, the newly independent Venezuela banned Bolivar from his homeland for twelve years until 1842, when his remains were finally brought from Santa Marta to Caracas and entombed in the "catedral." In 1876, his remains were transferred to the "Panteon Nacional."
During our brief stays in Caracas, Venezuela's capital city, we did a mini-tour of Bolivariana, which began at the Plaza Bolivar. By the way, every Venezuelan city has a Plaza Bolivar. The federal district (Caracas) and the capital cities of Venezuela's twenty-two states such as Merida, Coro, Barinas, Guanare, capital cities we visited, have a statue of Bolivar on a horse. Other major cities have a statue of Bolivar unhorsed, and smaller towns have a bust of Bolivar in their Plaza Bolivar.
We visited Bolivar's birthplace ("Casa Natal de Bolivar"), the Bolivar museum next door where I was asked to remove my cap out of respect ("Museo Bolivariana"), the nearby cathedral where he was baptized and where his wife and family lie, and the "Panteon Nacional" containing his body and those of other eminent Venezuelans.
Last year, we took a road trip along the coast from Cartagena, Colombia to visit Quinta de San Pedro Alejandrino, the hacienda where Bolivar spent his last days before he died. Spaniard Joaquin de Mier, the owner of the hacienda, a supporter of Colombia's independence, invited Bolivar to stay and rest until his departure for Europe. The hacienda grounds contain massive central structure ("Altar de la Patria"), the Museo Bolivariana, and a 22-hectare garden.
Hugo Chavez envisions a modern day "Bolivarian Revolution," a Latin American political block with a socialist bent as an alternative to United States hegemony. Chavez has been generous with his foreign aids to Latin America and the Caribbean in an effort to blunt U.S.-backed economic policies in Latin America. His efforts have garnered some support among the growing number of Latin America's left-leaning governments.
Only time will tell whether Chavez's "Bolivarian Revolution" will succeed. In the meantime, many Venezuelans want Chavez to tend to problems on the home front such as government corruption, inefficiency, and mismanagement; the deteriorating health and education programs; the troubled economy; crime, human rights violations, and media censorship. I join the Venezuelans in their fear that the socialist revolutionary has morphed into a dictator for life.
Did you know that there is a statue of Simón Bolivar on a horse in San Francisco's United Nations Plaza? It is a 1984 "Gift from Venezuela to the People of San Francisco."

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — The two men aboard the international space station pulled off a riskier than usual spacewalk and successfully plugged in a new circuit breaker, drawing cheers and sighs of relief.
As soon as American Mike Fincke and Russian Gennady Padalka learned their second shot at the spacewalking repair had paid off, cries of "hurray!" and "great!" erupted 225 miles (360 kilometers) up. The feeling was mutual down below.
"Great job, you guys," Mission Control radioed.
"We're glad to be able to be of service," Fincke said.
The triumph was especially sweet following last week's failed attempt.
It was a long and potentially dangerous haul to the work site — and back to the hatch after the repairs were made.
Fincke and Padalka had to cross nearly 100 feet (30 meters) to get to the bad circuit breaker — a grueling distance for spacewalkers over difficult terrain. Then they had to pry off the cover for the row of circuit breakers; it was stiff and incredibly hard to move.
Despite the hurdles, the two stayed ahead of schedule the entire time. Flight controllers kept urging them to take their time and be careful; the warnings came more frequently as the men returned from the work site.
Less than six hours after venturing out, the men were safely back inside. "We had a really nice time out there and I think we helped out the space station," Fincke told Mission Control as he heated up a celebratory dinner.
Last week's glitch
Last Thursday, Fincke and Padalka barely made it out the hatch when their spacewalk was aborted, just 14 minutes after it began. An oxygen-flow switch on Fincke's suit did not lock into the proper position and oxygen gushed out of his tank, prompting flight controllers to order the spacewalkers back inside.
NASA was anxious to replace the circuit breaker to restore power to one of the gyroscopes that keep the outpost steady and pointed in the right direction. The circuit breaker stopped working in April, leaving the space station with just two good gyroscopes, the bare minimum.
Thanks to the new circuit breaker, ground controllers were able Thursday to slowly and methodically nudge the third gyroscope, or spinning wheel, back into operation. A fourth gyroscope has been broken for two years but cannot be replaced until space shuttle flights resume.
Risky operation
The spacewalk was riskier than most, in large part because of the ramifications from last year's Columbia accident.
No one was inside to monitor systems during the spacewalk, a situation NASA never tolerated until this year. But with the crew size reduced from three to two because of the grounding of the shuttle fleet, flight controllers had to serve as the so-called third crew member.
Fincke and Padalka also had to use Russian suits not intended for this type of hand-intensive, U.S. repair work. A cooling failure in the space station's American spacesuits a month ago forced the switch to the stiffer, more-pressurized Russian suits.
Within minutes, they removed the old circuit breaker — a rectangular box about the size of a dictionary — and pushed in the spare. Flight controllers immediately ran a series of electrical tests and confirmed that the swap was good.
Longer excursion
Using the Russian suits meant an exit from the much more distant Russian hatch — 80 feet to 100 feet (25 to 30 meters) from the broken circuit breaker — and an excursion over treacherous terrain, including antennas and jagged edges that could tear a spacesuit. The 50-foot (15-meter) extension boom helped close the gap, but the crew still had a considerable amount of hand-over-hand walking to do and an assortment of safety tethers — both Russian and American — to hook and unhook.
The distance was so great that communication blackouts were anticipated; Fincke and Padalka planned to resort to hand signals, if necessary. But the radio links held up fine and the spacewalkers even pulled off a few maintenance chores.
Another first on this spacewalk: Prime responsibility for the job was divided between the two Mission Controls, in Moscow and Houston, depending on what side of the station the astronauts were on at any given moment.
The first shift in control came an hour into the spacewalk and appeared to be seamless. It was obvious to anyone listening in; the conversation abruptly switched from Russian to English. Everything reverted back to Russian, near the end.

The "proof of concept" goal was twofold: one, to see if the costs of production for such animation had dropped to a doable level (they have). Two, to see if the "Arctic Circle" concept itself had any legs. That remains to be determined.
Interestingly, my comment that "the future of static comics on the Internet is limited" in an earlier post sparked some debate. I thought it might. More on this in the next post.
BTW, I'm aiming to have the next Bug Bash up next week. I kind of miss it too.
Bug Bash is a comic strip written and illustrated by Hans Bjordahl. Bug Bash is a comic strip about technology: managing technology, the business of technology. It's about project management and managing projects through the dull world of Rational Rose, use cases, and requirements. Functional requirements, user requirement, functional specifications, design specifications, call it what you want but it's still the bane of project managers. And when you're done with that, you can think about all the fun that comes with timelines, scheduling, estimates (PERT estimation anyone?) and resourcing until Gantt charts are coming out of your ears. Let's not forget the risk management in the software engineering life cycle. Maintaining the project is just as much fun, managing what was initially set out in requirements and trying to keep feature creep / scope creep in check with change management. If any of these words send nightmares to you, the project manager, then this site probably rings true with you. (Who Links Here?)

Subscribe To Breaking Dawn Part 2 Makes $72 Million Friday, But Won't Beat New Moon Updates
I've already subscribed
Breaking Dawn Part 2 could in many ways be the biggest film of the Twilight franchise, what with the enormous battle scene, the many vampires coming in from all over the world to help Bella and Edward, and of course, the "they lived happily ever after" ending. But it won't be the biggest at the box office, at least in its opening weekend. Though Breaking Dawn Part 2 made an estimated $72 million on Friday, it's not likely to be enough to beat the record $142.8 million that the second installment, New Moon, made in 2009.
The question now, according to Deadline, is whether Breaking Dawn Part 2 can slip past the $138.1 million made by Part 1 last year. No matter what the franchise is clearly going out on top, but it's interesting to see Breaking Dawn fail to follow the pattern of the Harry Potter films, in which the final movie in the series made by far the most money.
Luckily for anyone who's not a Twihard, there's a ton of other great stuff out there this weekend, and most of it is doing well-- Skyfall made $12.2 million Friday going into its second weekend, and will have no trouble being #2 for the weekend. Lincoln is also in its second weekend, expanding from 11 to 1,775 theaters, and will come in third with an estimated $20.1 million-- pretty amazing for a two-and-a-half-hour historical drama that's largely about the legislative process. And though there's no report yet about how Anna Karenina is doing in just 16 theaters, that's a great one too if you live in a city where you can check it out.
We'll have a full box office report to you on Sunday, so in the meantime, let us know what you're seeing this weekend!

Are you looking to
lower your BMW with the best suspension possible? Whether you are lowering just
for looks or for the huge performance benefits, we have a KW system to suit your
needs. Coilovers are the best suspension solution as all the parts are crafted
to function together, as opposed to just lowering springs. KW coilovers are
known for their signature colors, individuality, quality, and security. In
addition, KW coilovers are most often the coilovers that allow the most lowering
adjustability compared to other options for your vehicle. Scroll down below
to read more on each Variant and decide which option is best for you!
Available Applications:
BMW E63/E64 and M6
Independently adjustable damping technology -rebound and compression

Why do KW's cost
more than other Coilovers?
The answer
is simple, you get what you pay for when it comes to vehicle suspension. As such
a crucial component of your vehicle, suspension is definitely something you do not
want to cheap out on. KW is known for their reinforced and durable suspension
components. KW's coilovers have been carefully crafted and designed by studying
the flaws of competitors and improving on them. In addition KW coilovers can go
lower than just about any other brand and allow you to set your car to a
"slammed look", "sporty look", or anywhere in between. In the unfortunate event
that anything should happen to your coilovers, KW's warranty backs all their
products from manufacturer's defect.

What are Coilovers?
A coilover suspension basically gives you a matched lowering spring and shock
absorber combination with the added benefit of adjustable ride height and spring
rates through a moveable spring perch or perches. Coilovers are to your car's
advantage by reducing unsprung mass, increasing suspension travel, and allowing
the car to be corner balanced.

by Jim Stiles
(Editor's note: Last year, Jim Stiles wrote a two-part series entitled "Why I never became a Mormon". This is the first in a new series entitled "Why I never became an Anti-Mormon.")
Utah is not like any other state. Some Americans are still not sure Utah is a part of the union, and in its early history, of course, the U.S. Government refused to allow statehood for the land of Deseret.
A "wicked place," some self-righteous Christians complained.
Conversely, there are many Utahns who even today wish they'd stayed out of the USA in the first place.
A few years ago, a friend of mine was chatting with a neighbor, a native born Blandingite, about the woes of the world. The man gazed east to the San Juan Mountains in Colorado and noted gravely, "Yeah, things are a mess out there in America."
For all these decades and years and centuries, Utahns and the rest of the country have maintained an uncertain truce.
It's easy to live in Utah if you are a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Since Brigham Young led his people west from decades of persecution back east and settled in the Great Salt Lake Valley more than 150 years ago, the LDS Church has dominated this state as no religion controls any other.
Today, Mormons still represent a significant majority of the state's residents, they control the political arena, more or less run the schools, and set the moral tone.
Mormons are known around the world for the generosity and support they show each other–in a tight spot, no saint is ever on his or her own. Somebody always has their back.
Whether that same kind of support comes as easy to the down-and-out Gentile next door, however, is a point for debate. I hear stories that go both ways, though most of my own experiences have been positive.
Given their history, an impartial observer might argue that the Mormons have reason enough to instinctively distrust and even dislike the Outsiders, but no one can deny the mutual hostility that sometimes exists–it's like worlds colliding.
One thing is certain, if you are conservative and LDS and you loathe liberals, you've got plenty of company here.
On the other hand, and strangely enough, it's almost as easy to reside here as a virulent ANTI-Mormon. Though their numbers are much smaller, their voices are strong and often their rhetoric is even more strident than their hated adversaries.
If you ask any Anti-Mormon, almost everything that goes wrong here in Utah is the fault of the LDS Church. From social issues to environmental questions, whether the consequence is big or small, it's the "damn Mormons" fault. And if no real sin can be attached to certain aspects of LDS Life, it nonetheless renders itself vulnerable to mockery and ridicule.
From Jell-O to missionaries to sacred garments, nothing is off limits. I've wondered, in fact--- if the Mormons had never stopped in Utah, what would my Anti-Mormon friends have done to entertain themselves?
This has, for many years, left me in a quandary. While I know I'll never join the Church, I've never felt the animosity that some of my friends express so frequently and with such intensity.
Until my recent partial escape to the Plains, Utah was my home for 30 years, since I left Kentucky. I'd forgotten, for better or worse, what was really going on, "out there in America."
When I first arrived, the anti-Mormon sentiment was something I didn't even know existed. I'd experienced the 'rural vs urban' conflict, but the split had never been defined for me by a specific religious denomination.
My previous experiences, going back to my crush on the Ogden Girl from a few years earlier, had been happy ones. I'd always been treated well and though I found parts of the religion difficult to understand or accept, I enjoyed my experiences and admired their conviction and depth of faith.
So when I landed in Moab and walked into the middle of this debate, I was surprised. Mormon Jokes were a dime a dozen. (How many saints does it take a to screw in a light bulb?) Everyone thought the wisecracks were hilarious.
I can't claim I was above the fray either, or that I never indulged in Mormon Bashing myself. Like other young, impressionable male idiots, I often went with the crowd and passed along my share of Mormon Jokes.
When I was a seasonal ranger at Arches, for example, I seemed to routinely clash with hostile Mormon housewives when I tried to explain federal rules and regulations. Surprisingly, their husbands were often more generous to me than their brides. I began to tell the occasional Mormon housewife joke, based on True Life experiences. Still, my heart wasn't in it.
Living for years in Moab, southeast Utah's 'Gentile Den of Iniquity,' it was easy to screen the members of my social circle to only include those people who laughed at my jokes. It was a pretty boring existence.
Still Moab was an oddly diverse town, where the oldtimers and the newcomers clashed but co-existed. I enjoyed the mix, and I appreciated the miners and the ranchers, even if I didn't agree with them. It always felt to me that their lives had somehow been far richer and more interesting than mine was turning out to be.
In the 1990s, Moab began to change. I could see it coming, and I held out the futile hope that maybe we might remain the kind of town that I once dreamed it could be. But it was hopeless.
Greed--- Big Money, real estate developers, "green" carpetbaggers–they all descended on Moab like locusts, looking for the next Nouveau West town to exploit.
In 2002, I faced a dramatic choice—leave Moab or go mad. I left Moab.
I considered my options, some as far away as Australia. But in the end, I decided to take the shortest path possible—55 miles south to Monticello. I would not become a Mormon. I would not join the Anti-Mormon ranks. I would simply be a Non-Mormon in the heart of San Juan County. When I shared my plan with my closest friends, they all offered the same admonition:
"Monticello? The Mormons will eat you alive. You won't last a week."
Neither the idea nor the town was foreign to me. After all, I'd owned some land in San Juan County for years. But I needed a little place in town that had electricity so I could run my computer and printers for The Zephyr.
Avoiding a chip seal job on Main Street one day, I detoured to 300 East and found exactly what I was looking for. The little cottage was owned by Doyle and Marilyn Rowley and was listed by Lex Realty's Bennion Redd, Marilyn's brother.
Bennion Redd was the patriarch of Monticello and one of its most respected citizens. I had known him for years, since my ranger days at Arches when we were required to attend law enforcement refresher course every spring.
Bennion was the federal magistrate in our neck of the woods. He was kind to a fault and always invited us to stop by his Monticello office. His wife had died recently, he explained, and he could use the company. On a couple occasions I stopped by to say hello and realized his invitations were genuine.
(Click here for more on Bennion from Stiles.)
On this day, it was a business visit. I described the property, and he explained that it belonged to his sister and her husband. He called Marilyn and Doyle, and they came down to the office. (Everywhere in Monticello is five minutes away from everything else).
We sat down in Bennion's office, and we haggled for about a minute. Doyle threw out a price. I counter-offered. Doyle came back again. I said okay. And that was that.
We scribbled the price and terms on a piece of paper, and Bennion said he'd draw up the papers. It would take about four weeks. We all shook hands.
The next day, I told a few friends in Moab about my big investment. They were skeptical. "Did you put down earnest money?" (No) "Do you have a contract yet?" (No) "Is anything notarized?" (No) "How do you know they'll abide by the terms you scribbled on a piece of paper?" (We shook hands, I said...they thought THAT was pretty funny.)
Four weeks later, I handed Marilyn and Doyle the down payment check, Bennion drew up the legal work, exactly as we'd planned, and on September 1, I became a Monticello homeowner.
Starting my Monticello Years with Bennion made all the difference.
Next week: Jim meets the neighbors. (Jim Stiles is publisher of the "Canyon Country Zephyr – Planet Earth Edition" now exclusively at www.canyoncountryzephyr.com. Stiles can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.)

Measurements: doctors today, doctors in the past
Visit a doctor today and chances are that he or she will measure your blood pressure, your temperature, your height and weight, your cholesterol levels and many other things. But people didn't always think that such 'quantification' could tell us anything interesting. Until the early modern period, people generally thought that numbers were useful for constructing machines and buildings, but didn't feel that they could answer questions about the 'how?' and 'why?' of natural processes. When Isaac Newton published his work on gravity, many of his contemporaries pointed out that knowing how fast a body falls doesn't actually explain why it falls.
The invention of measuring instruments
Important measuring instruments such as the thermometer and the barometer were developed in the 1500s and 1600s, but they were very inaccurate. Despite this, some early modern doctors began to advocate the use of measurement for 'medical mathematics'. Sanctorius Sanctorius (1561-1636), a physician at the University of Padua, was the first person to put a scale on a thermometer so it could register absolute numbers. He also invented a giant weighing machine. Sanctorius spent much of his adult life in this machine in a long-term self-experiment to determine, among other things, how much weight a human body loses through perspiration. William Harvey also used measurements in his experiments to prove the circulation of blood.
Enlightenment: the numbers debate
During the Enlightenment, scientists argued that numbers were more objective than qualitative descriptions. This argument had a great impact on medical research. Numbers became important both for observing individual patients and for observations on larger groups. Supporters of vaccination, for example, used statistics to show that it diminished the likelihood of catching smallpox.
Developments in measuring in the 1700s
Since the 1700s, physicians have developed ways to measure many features of the human body. We owe the second hand on watches, for instance, to the British physician Sir John Floyer (1649-1734), who used it to time his patients' pulse.
Inaccurate scientists
In the late 1800s, researchers became worried that the active involvement of the scientist could introduce inaccuracy and bias. With this in mind, technicians and scientists such as the French physiologist Etienne-Jules Marey developed 'self-registering' devices. These were instruments designed to produce measurements by themselves, such as Marey's sphygmograph for measuring blood pressure.
More measuring, less individuality
The quantification of the body changed the relationship between doctors and patients. For a long time, physicians had regarded each patient's case as unique. With quantification, scientists in the 1800s began to determine 'normal' ranges for physical features such as temperature and blood pressure. These numbers were supposed to be the same for every healthy person, allowing scientists such as Frenchman Adolphe Quetelet to develop statistical approaches to public health.

HealthFitness added 27 clients in 2011, the Minneapolis-based provider of health, fitness and condition management programs announced. To service those new clients, HealthFitness added 500 employees, bringing its employee total to 5,000.
Employees were added to every department in the organization, with particular emphasis on technology to support evolving product offerings. The company also added professionals in account management, health coaching, chronic care management, health advising, biometric screening and health promotion. The purchase of Focused Health Solutions in early 2011 bolstered HealthFitness' offerings with enhanced technology capabilities and expanded services in condition management, the company says.
"Our success is driven by our people, who have a passion for the work they do," Paul Lotharius, HealthFitness president and CEO, said in a release. "Whether they are working one-on-one to coach a program participant in making lifestyle changes for better health, or working with senior executives in a Fortune 500 corporate office to manage the company's program, they are our face and voice. We have terrific retention at HealthFitness because we believe in what we do."
Nearly 100 job opportunities are open at HealthFitness, the majority of which require a four-year degree or higher, or specialized training. HealthFitness employees who work on-site with the company's clients are located in 42 states.
Growth in HealthFitness' corporate wellness business, which lists one in five Fortune 100 companies as clients, stems from a growing recognition by business leaders of the value of health and wellness benefits among employers, the company says. Almost eight out of 10 employees say their benefits are one of the reasons they work at their company, and that wellness and chronic care management programs contribute to their satisfaction, according to a recent Mercer Workplace Survey.
