Accelerating X with Gallium
21 comments:
arent you allowed to undress at the docter?
- September 1, 2009 at 9:31 PM
Is this in any way related to previously mentioned xf86-video-modesetting driver?
- September 1, 2009 at 9:39 PM
How does this fit with Intel's vision to not support EXA at all, but only UXA?
- September 1, 2009 at 9:39 PM

@anonymous 1: depends on the doctor. dentists make it difficult.
@Roger: yes, xf86-video-modesetting essentially became the the Xorg state tracker.
@anonymous 2: It doesn't relate. Exa does everything we need and there's just no benefit to UXA from the Gallium state tracker perspective.

Hey that's great news, if you're ever up in Edinburgh I'll buy you a pint
On the EXA / UXA issue I thought it was the same API but implemented using GEM to make it more efficient
I'm guessing if the Xorg tracker is using the gallium drivers they'll automatically use TTM or GEM anyway.
Am I right?
- September 1, 2009 at 10:00 PM
Following FireBurn's comment, how does Gallium relate to TTM and GEM?
- September 1, 2009 at 11:03 PM
Awesome, I guess. But having just upgraded from Debian Lenny KDE 3.5 to Debian Squeeze KDE 4.2 I realize I don't want acceleration I want buffering. And not the kind of buffering that was promised for Qt 4 to make the solid window dragging as smooth as Mac OS 8. No, I want static image buffering of contents of windows and menus I may click on in VRAM, as I am looking at an empty grey square for a second as I close a menu. Yes, I'm on such a slow computer that I turned off animated scrolling in konqueror to make it snappy.
Yes, perhaps I should get a faster computer even though videos play fine and complain that the Nokia N900 is a slow old cow and that 'we' realy want a 2000 dollar KDE phone. But no, I would rather have a passive video card with 8 GB of 'slow' VRAM which contains prerenders of all the menus and a perhaps even double rendering of window contents, half a pixel down, so I can have smooth scrolling better then the nineties. It would scroll as smooth as PAL-tv. Is it not awesome how readably smooth a newsticker can be compared to X on linux to make stutter free text pass by.
(A new computer would end up the same; instead of stuttering my mp3 while i browse, it would stutter my video streaming while browsing without adblocking. I know Debian has a fair sceduler, fairly interupting everything as things get maxed out. In fact Debian features cooperative multitasking, as I was shown the other day; my mouse pointer was locked in a copy drag operation even as i switched desktops, but as I switched sessions everything was fine, yet the other session remains deadlocked even as i can move the mouse to another window it remains locked in its previous task, that is effectively the same as coopertative multitasking of the nineties, here today on linux.)
Anyway I'm not blaming you, I'm just ranting. I just want big buffering, can you do PNG compression on the fly and have like everything buffered in VRAM? I have given up on a responsive system, having a limited budget and a big pipe means I will forever be maxed out by people who want to impress people who have a faster machine then me. I just want a snappy no motion system with prerendered 3D or SVG card games which actually move bitmaps or pngs arround. Oh KDE games I love you. Wait this should be an ode to Zack, please give me some PNG buffering and kick some X people straight with your smarts.

Someone direly needs to write a Great Big Glossary Of Newfangled Graphics Awesomeness. Methinks.
As far as I understand things:
- Gallium3D is a driver architecture which basically lets you write a driver for a given piece of hardware once, and, in theory, it'll automatically accelerate all of the APIs ("state trackers") and operating/windowing systems ("winsys") for which support has also been added to Gallium3D. So rather than writing X*Y*Z drivers -- one for each combination of hardware, OS, and API -- you only have to write X+Y+Z (if you think of the state trackers and winsyses as sort of drivers for the APIs and OSes). It also makes writing the drivers easier by abstracting graphics hardware in a nicer way.
- TTM is a memory manager for graphics cards written by Tungsten Graphics. A memory manager is a necessary prerequisite to making Gallium work (but also has benefits on its own, afaik).
- GEM is a memory manager for Intel graphics cards written by Intel because they thought TTM was too complicated. GEM has been merged into the Linux kernel.
- Some drivers expose the GEM API but implement it internally using TTM.
- EXA is an acceleration API for X which accelerates the difficult compositing of stuff but not the trivial simple things like drawing lines.
- UXA does what EXA does but in a different GEM-related way than EXA which I forget.
And then there's KMS and DRI2 and DRM and DDX and all the rest...
Zack: What happens when multiple state trackers make use of the driver/hardware at the same time? I assume things have been designed to handle that nicely?
- September 1, 2009 at 11:33 PM
And then a year later comes Google with their super fast and lightweight Chrome OS on top of DirectFB and everyone dumps X and its extensions industry for DirectFB.
- September 2, 2009 at 12:22 AM
It is a good time to be Linux user, wit news like this =)
- September 2, 2009 at 12:26 AM
- Zack said...
@FireBurn: right, correct. The winsys part of Gallium is responsible for handling that and it can use any memory manager.
@Mike: It doesn't really relate - it simply requires a memory manager, be it GEM, TTM or something else.
@Anonymous: Technically both Qt and modern X do that. Qt4 has what's called a window surface - a pixmap for the entire window, which is simply being blitted. While X does the same for every top-level if the Composite extension is used. So it's a bit hard to say what's the problem for you.
@Illissius: They use different contexts. Gallium works in a multi-threaded, multiple-contexts environment. It's just that on Linux we don't schedule them that nicely, but that will come too.
@cl333r: See, now you should get a doctor to look at that - you seem to be talking out of your ass.
- September 2, 2009 at 1:34 AM
- ssokolow said...
@Anonymous: Your mouse locks up in a drag-and-drop operation because of how stuff like that is implemented.
As far as I know, when you start dragging, the mouse is acquired exclusively by the application beginning the drag. (I could be wrong)
It's the input-handling equivalent of cooperative multitasking. (You were correct in equating the two)
The simplest workaround is to set either AllowDeactivateGrabs or AllowClosedownGrabs in the ServerFlags section of your xorg.conf and then hit the key combo when you find yourself in that situation. (See the xorg.conf(5) manpage for details)
They're only not enabled by default because it allows unauthorized users to bypass screensaver/locker apps unless they use a specially-written API.

- Fabio said...
Two question:
1) I'm specifically saying here X11 because after implementing Exa we'll move to accelerating Xv, which will give us a nice set of ops which are accelerated in a typical X application.
What about the G3DVL layer already available in mesa? Why another implementation?
2) Why not dropping EXA and modify Xorg to directly use the Gallium language? I.e.:
doing now: Standard Xorg <- EXA language -> Xorg state tracker <- Gallium language -> Gallium driver
proposed: Modified Xorg <- Gallium language -> Gallium driver
Could this be implemented? Could dropping the EXA layer give better performance and/or eliminate (eventual) EXA limitation?
- September 2, 2009 at 9:07 AM
- Zack said...
@Fabio: The first question doesn't follow from the quote at all so I can't answer it. Now if you had asked "will you use g3dvl?" that would a) make sense, b) allow me to answer with something along the lines "after implementing exa, i'll look at the options and will make a decision. if i can reduce the amount of code i need to write by reusing g3dvl, then that's what will happen".
The second question: currently it'd simply be a marginal win (if at all) that wouldn't be worth the work required to get it.

- bestouff said...
When does it work ?
- September 2, 2009 at 2:29 PM
- Remm said...
Yes, I have to agree the release readiness question is relevant at this point ;)
- September 2, 2009 at 9:35 PM
- Zack said...
@bestouff and Remm: yes, there is a hard set schedule. Exa acceleration has to be usable in three weeks (so by about 18th). Xv four weeks after that (by about 16th next month). Then it's a question of whether you have a Gallium driver and if not how long will it take to write one for your card, unfortunately I can't answer that question.
- September 2, 2009 at 11:43 PM
- bestouff said...
Wow .. an X11 project with a hard set schedule ! Refreshingly good to hear.
Thanks a lot Zack.
- September 3, 2009 at 7:14 AM
@Zack. I had to smile when I read cl333r rambling about some hypothetic GoogleOS based on DirectFB. I'm using that, right now. DirectFB i mean, not that Googlething ;-) It was a mess to get right, in some ways it stays messy, but in my opinion it was worth it. Because I side with the other Anonymous here, regarding new systems. Pentium III@933 Mhz, 512 MB Ram, i815 Chipsetgraphics with additional 4MB VRAM/TextureRam/SideportMemory nowadays in the AGP-Slot.

Would this also work with Wayland?

The impact of climate change on investing
Head of Responsible Investment, Rick Stathers, asks three questions about how climate change may affect your investments.
Climate change target
Six years ago governments committed to limiting global warming to no more than 2°C above pre-industrial temperatures. Temperatures beyond this level, scientists believe, threaten catastrophic climate change.
In the next 40-50 years the world's economy needs to achieve carbon neutrality. This will have a significant impact on the investment industry.
As a result investors need to ask themselves three questions regarding climate change and their portfolios:
What are our assumptions about GDP?
Assumptions about valuations need to be considered in light of climate change.
There is much debate about how climate change will impact future economic growth and whether it is accounted for in GDP growth forecasts.
What are our assumptions about stocks with specific exposure?
Fossil fuel stocks are valued on their carbon assets but in order to limit global warming, research suggests that we can only burn one-fifth of these fossil fuel reserves.
There is also the potential impact on agriculture from extreme temperatures and on the valuation of companies with exposure to agriculture.
What impact will climate change have across a portfolio?
We need to consider the impact of climate change across the whole global economy including companies' carbon targets and the carbon footprint of a portfolio as a whole.

South Sudan
Earth : Africa : Central Africa : South Sudan
South Sudan is a country in Africa. Formerly a breakaway region of Sudan, it became an independent country on 9 July 2011 after a referendum was held in January that year. It borders Sudan, Ethiopia, Uganda, Kenya, Democratic Republic of the Congo, and the Central African Republic.
South Sudan had been home of semi-nomadic cattle herding peoples for most of history. Its formal ownership has changed hands from the Egyptians, Ottomans, British and Sudanese. After half a century of ethno-religious conflict South Sudan legally seceded from Sudan on 9 July 2011.
Since South Sudan is located near the Equator in the tropics, much of its landscape consists of tropical rainforest. South Sudan also has extensive swamp and grassland regions.
The White Nile, a main tributary of the Nile River, also passes through the country.
The highest point in South Sudan is Kinyeti at 10,456 feet (3,187 m).
South Sudanese culture varies by ethnicity. Zande, a Bantu people, will have very different language, legend and dance from the Shilluk, a Nilotic people.
Other destinations
English and Arabic (Juba Arabic) are the official languages and lingua francas of South Sudan, they are used in business, education and cross ethnic communication. Of the traditional languages Dinka is the most widely spoken language closely followed by Nuer. Jur Modo, Bari, Chollo/Shilluk, and Zande are also spoken there.
Most traditional languages are non-standard macro-languages, variations in dialect and accent are significant so universal intelligibility should not be assumed.
Get in
As South Sudan achieved independence only recently, the immigration rules are still subject to change. They have however instituted proper visas in your passport now, instead of the travel permits that were formerly used. The visas are issued for $100 at all border crossings and Juba International Airport. The length of the visas issued seems to vary randomly between 1 and 6 months. An invitation letter may be required depending on which official is at the desk on your day of arrival. The process can take 3 hours. If you do not have a local contact with official connections, it would be safer to get a visa before arriving in the country.
By plane
Most airlines flying into Juba depart from Cairo (Egypt), Addis Ababa (Ethiopia), Entebbe (Uganda) or Nairobi (Kenya) Khartoum (Sudan) to/from where you should be able to manage flights to Europe, Asia or the Americas. Flydubai has flights from Dubai to Juba.
Get around
Safaris to Boma National Park and Nimule National Park. See the parks by 4x4 vehicle or aircraft. See the greatest migration of mammals on the earth.
Most South Sudanese is very similar to Sudanese cuisine. Restaurants for both international and local cuisine can be found in Juba and other major city centers.
BBC restaurant Aweil. Downtown Aweil is the BBC restaurant, very popular especially around lunch time. Arabic menu, staff speak Arabic. Various soups with bread. Try the fish and chips (chips is not exactly what you expect but nevertheless nice). Small prices but also small portions. Evening time there is less choice and less quality.
The drinking/purchasing age of alcoholic beverages is 18.
In the towns of South Sudan such as Rumbek and Juba, Kenyan and Ugandan beers are starting to appear in bars at inflated cross-border prices.
Fresh fruit juices are available throughout Sudan. One of the local juices is "aradeab"(tamarind).
Stay safe
Starting in August 2012, Sudan and South Sudan have been fighting along the border of the two countries and traveling to the Sudan-South Sudan border is very dangerous and highly discouraged! Please be very careful while you are traveling in this area, so you do not get injured or killed. DO NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT going across the gated and secured border into Sudan. This is highly dangerous as well. Updated October 2012, due to continued violent disruptions journalist permits honored by Sudan are sporadically recognized as sufficient identification in South Sudan. Bribing is a possibility, but does not guarantee entry into South Sudan. Islamist groups such as Janjaweed also intermittently operate in the country
As with all countries a respect for the native culture is essential. Due to the multi-ethnic demography of South Sudan some people might take offense to being mistaken for others. It is best not assume a person speaks a particular language or hold particular custom which is representative of another ethnic groups.
Get out

Day's worst: The oral surgeon using dirty needles
A dental surgeon who state health officials say routinely reused sedation syringes was an easy choice for the day's worst bit of news.
The gross breach of health standards has put state health officials in the position of seeking out thousands of Stephen Stein's surgical patients, asking them to get tested for HIV and hepatitis.
The dentist practiced in offices in Highlands Ranch and Cherry Creek, and authorities are focusing on reaching patients who received sedation medications from September 1999 to June 2011.
It's a disturbing situation that is bound to create anxiety for patients. We certainly hope that no health problems resulting from the syringe use are detected for any of them. But even difficult conditions such as HIV and hepatitis are better controlled if they are treated sooner rather than later. So, as worrisome as it might be, get tested if you think you may have been exposed.

Winter sports got rolling this past week at San Juan High School. Both the boys and girls basketball teams played their first games on Tuesday night. The Lady Broncos hit the road to travel to Whitehorse, while the boys hosted Shiprock, N.M.
Coach Justin Moon's Lady Bronco squad picked up a win, 66-40. One concern facing the Lady Broncos this basketball season is the lack of a proven scorer. Those fears were silenced, at least for now, as the Broncos used a balanced attack and team effort on their way to picking up the win.
San Juan wasted no time jumping out to an early 10-point lead after the first quarter, 14-4.
In the second quarter, the Broncos added another 14 points while the Raiders doubled their first quarter points, scoring eight, resulting in a 28-12 Bronco lead at the half.
In the third quarter it was more of the same with San Juan exploding for 20 points to Whitehorse's 14. Heading into the final quarter, the Broncos led 48-26. Trailing by 22, the Raiders kept fighting, adding another 14 points to their total, but the Lady Broncos were just too much as they added another 18 points in the quarter and secured the win 66-40.
Coach Moon is pleased with his team's performance, saying, "Tuesday night vs. Whitehorse was a team effort. All 12 girls had chances to score and all 12 girls contributed. We were very balanced scoring. We do need to improve our free throw percentage and also defensively."
Moon then added, "The girls showed the character of this team by never giving up on plays, and by supporting each other all night."
Heidi Hiatt led all scorers with 16 points; she also added three steals, two rebounds and had one three-point field goal.
She is followed in scoring by Emily Royer, Rashee Morris and Sarah Morley who each chipped in 10 points. Royer also had four steals and three rebounds, while Morris added two steals and two rebounds as well as two three pointers and Morley pulled down eight rebounds.
Whitehorse is paced by Yvette Whitehorse and Raphaela Filfred, who each had 13 points for the Raiders.
San Juan's next game is scheduled for Wednesday, December 4 against Green River at 7:30 p.m.
On Friday, December 6 at 7:30 p.m. the Lady Broncos host Whitehorse.
On Tuesday, December 10 they head north to take on Monticello. That game has a 7 p.m. tipoff time.
San Juan's boys didn't fair quite as well as the girls did, as they dropped their season opener to Shiprock, N.M. 79-69.
Both teams came out in the first quarter and traded baskets for the better part of the period. When the whistle blew to signal the end of the first, San Juan trailed 17-16.
The lead would go back and forth throughout the second quarter. Shiprock outscored San Juan again and took a 35-32 lead to the locker room.
In the third quarter, the Chieftains opened up their lead, outscoring the Broncos 27-16, and headed into the final stanza with a 14-point lead, 62-48.
San Juan would battle back in the fourth quarter, pulling within five on two different occasions. Shiprock responded every time San Juan made a run. The Broncos played tough down to the wire, scoring 21 points in the fourth while holding Shiprock to 17 points.
Ultimately it wasn't enough to overcome the Chieftain's big third quarter and the Broncos lost by a final of 79-69.
San Juan was led by juniors DiQuan Lopez and Max Morley, who combined for 33 points. Lopez had 18, while Morley added 15.
Seniors Terrance Tate and Tyrell Pemberton chipped in nine and eight points, respectively.
Off the bench, the Broncos got solid minutes and contributions from freshman Jordan Blake and sophomore Caleb Pugh, who scored seven and six points in the loss. Lopez also led the Broncos in rebounds with 12, and steals with five.
The Broncos next play on the road against Aztec, NM on Tuesday, December 4 at 7 p.m. They hit the road again on December 6-7 when they head to Gunnison, UT for the Bulldog Invitational. Their opponent and time of their first game is TBD at print.
On Tuesday, December 10 San Juan remains on the road, traveling to Whitehorse. Tipoff for that game is set for 7 p.m.

Our Story
The Ambassadors' words stuck. After conducting research and meeting with international relations experts, government officials, academics, and agricultural experts, it became apparent that there was a critical need for farm equipment and technical expertise in developing countries.
Our focus is on partnering with agricultural communities via established farming cooperatives, local government /tribal officials, or both - in order to define the emerging and long-term agricultural and development needs that can be addressed, then providing the tools that can empower farmers and the community to build a foundation for economic improvement, stability, and security, one community at a time, one farm at a time.
TractorShare has successfully executed three programs.
In Haiti, we provided a tractor and farm implements to support farming operations in the northern part of the country. After the devastating earthquake, food production is more important than ever, as the numbers of displaced persons in need of food remains very high.
As our second program, we responded to the devastating earthquake and provided an industrial tractor to the Haitian Volunteer Firefighters Association.
Our current focus, our third program, supports the indigenous farmers and families of the Apatun Farming Cooperative in the Yucatan State of Mexico. With your help, we are just getting started!

The Town of Columbia was incorporated in 1892. Among those signing the petition to incorporate as a town in King County were blacksmiths, carpenters, wood choppers, engineers, merchants, sign painters, book-keepers, bricklayers, surveyors, laborers and conductors. At the election on December 28, 1892, 47 voted for incorporation and 12 against. A five-member Town Council was established, with each member serving two-year terms. The Town of Columbia also had a Board of Health, created in 1893, which was composed of three Council members appointed by the mayor. The volunteer fire department, known as the Columbia Volunteer Fire Company, was established in March 1902.
The City of Columbia, like Seattle and other small cities in the area at the time, struggled with the transition from a rural environment to a more urban one. The issues presented themselves in terms of building an infrastructure, such as a water system, sewers and roads, but also in terms of social issues. In November 1903, a petition was presented asking for an ordinance "prohibiting stock from running at large." A committee was appointed to draft an ordinance and it was presented the following month. At that time, a petition with 69 signatures was submitted protesting the ordinance. Council considered the protest, but passed the ordinance 8 to 2.
In addition to petitions for sewer, lights, and water, petitions for the improvements of streets, especially Ferdinand Street, are frequent in the records of the City of Columbia. These four girls, names not known, are standing on Ferdinand Street, a half a block east of Rainier. The planked road is in the background. - Rainier Valley Historical Society, 93.001.404
The small town of Columbia struggled with the issues of growth and building an infrastructure to support the town's population. Complaints and petitions for a water system, improved streets, and a sewer system were common. A letter from Marshal B. B. Burbank describes many of the issues facing citizens.
Columbia achieved "city" status in 1905 when its population reached the required total of 1500. The mayor, W.W. Phalen, called a special election and the public voted in favor of "city" status. Mayor Phalen's annual address to the City Council, reflecting on the year 1905, enumerated needed improvements for the new city, including grading, planking, a sewerage system, water supply, lighting facilities, a telephone plan, and parks and recreation facilities.
Mayor Phalen's address for the year 1906 stressed the need to stop "all waste however small it may be." Phalen expressed disappointment that a chemical engine was purchased for the Fire Department "which falls so short in doing the work required of it." And he noted, "We believe in securing all necessary fire equipments and a thoroughly drilled fire company, but we all believe that a company should be made up of young men who have that get-there and stay ambition which is so lacking in older men."
Phalen enthusiastically supported of annexation to the City of Seattle. He wrote in his 1906 address, "I believe it is the wish of the people and this council that we should call a special election at the earliest possible date, for the purpose of giving to the people, the opportunity of voting to become a part of one of the most up-to-date, enterprising and progressive cities in the world."
The vote on annexation on March 5, 1907, was 109 to 3 in favor of annexation. Columbia became part of the 12th Ward in the City.

Man behind the numbers: Peyton Manning named Sporting News' 2013 NFL offensive player of the year
Peyton Manning is Sporting News' 2013 offensive player of the year. The Denver Broncos' quarterback, as expected, dominated the votes in a poll of more than 500 NFL players, coaches and executives to determine the winner.
MORE: SN's NFL All-Pro Team | Defensive Player of the Year | Rookie of the Year | Comeback Player
Manning helped the Broncos' offense put together a record-breaking season on their way to Super Bowl XLVIII:
--His 55 touchdown passes trumped the mark Tom Brady set in 2007 (50)
--His 5,477 passing yards was one better than what Drew Brees did in 2011
--He had nine four-TD games, breaking his own record of six in 2004.
--He had 15 two-TD and four 400-yard games, tying the accomplishments of Dan Marino in 1984.
--The Broncos had the highest-scoring season in NFL history (606 points, 76 touchdowns), surpassing what the Patriots did in 2007 (589 points, 75 TDs).
--They also threw for a single-season best 293 first downs, bettering how many the Saints converted by passing in 2011 (280)
Based on those eye-popping statistics, even in what's a full-blown passing league, Manning just enjoyed the best passing regular season in NFL history. Now he will try to cap it in the playoffs, going for his second Super Bowl victory in three chances. A win over the Seattle Seahawks would put Manning closer to consideration as the best quarterback of all time.
The best of the rest, based on the voting:
2. Jamaal Charles, running back, Kansas City Chiefs
3. Tom Brady, quarterback, New England Patriots
4. LeSean McCoy, running back, Philadelphia Eagles
5. Russell Wilson, quarterback, Seattle Seahawks
6. Drew Brees, quarterback, New Orleans Saints
7. Cam Newton, quarterback, Carolina Panthers

Minka & Derek holiday in Paris
They confirmed their split in August. By October he was back in South Beach with her and a reconciliation was inevitable. Click here. Then Charlie's Angels was cancelled, eliminating one reason, maybe the only reason, for them to be apart. So here are Minka Kelly and Derek Jeter over the holiday in Paris and in love.
Have you seen Derek Jeter 3K on HBO? You know how tight Derek keeps his sh-t right? And there's Minka, all over the documentary, in his family box, getting on so well with his parents, holding babies of relatives, smiling big...and allowed to speak! Several times! And he talks about her too! Like in an affectionate, teasing way about how baseball-ignorant she was when they first started dating. I'm just saying, as I noted back when they split, that I don't think she was dumped. In fact, I don't think anyone's ever been closer than Minka has. I wonder if Minka might have some game herself.
Certainly more game than those girls who received a signed baseball in the limo at the end of the night which... I mean I LOVED that story. Click here if you missed it. Come on, now. When you go home like that with a professional athlete, it's not a proposal you expect at the end of the night, is it?
So Minka gets Jeter and Jeter gets Minka and they want us to know now and, well, given how private Jeter is, I wonder how I missed it that she went to fame school with Blake Lively.

classic rock
Classic rock was originally conceived as a radio station programming format which evolved from the album oriented rock (AOR) format in the early-1980s. In the United States, this rock music format now features a large playlist of songs ranging from the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s and early 1990s, with some stations including a limited number of current releases. The classic rock stations recreate the sound of Album Oriented Rock (AOR) stations of the 60s-90s (although usually with a much more limited playlist) and appeal mainly to adults Read more on Last.fm.

Time to brush up on your German and check out the December 2012 issue (volume 307) of Germany's Rock Hard magazine. Blind Guardian is featured on the cover and inside one will find an eight page interview celebrating the band's 25th anniversary.
The whole band answers questions about the past and future and even some secrets. Rare band photos are also included where one can get a good laugh out of André's tight checkered pants and Hani's afro-like hair. 🙂
See the video below for more information about the issue. (more…)

I have integrated emacs into most parts of my daily workflow. In a typical day I might need to:
- Open the files and/or directories I use most frequently
- Interact with a database using db mode
- call up a bunch of sql templates using skeleton mode
- kick off a C++ build with a keystroke
- extract and pretty print xml from logfiles
- Maintain my TODO/Notes list with orgmode
Some of these I have aliases for in my shell already.
A number of database GUIs have template functionality built-in or I could probably substitute the sql templates with scripts if I was sufficiently creative with the command line args.
And if I kept my TODO/Notes list in a wiki, it might be generally useful to the rest of my team.
Yes, thinking about it, I could live without Emacs. But life would be much less pleasant.

Today Eating Italy goes to Puglia! I'm so happy to share this interview with you and introduce you to my very good friend, Claudia Parisi who is from one of my favorite regions in Italy - Puglia! I met Claudia on my very first trip to Puglia, and on my first day in Lecce. She, of all the ladies I met way back then, is one of the most knowledgeable and passionate about the food of her region and I give her most of the credit for my love of Puglia and especially its food.
Claudia and I inside an ancient dolmen
We have spent time togehter on every of my many visits to Puglia. She was there when I first learned about lampasconi and what a frantoio ipogeo was. And, she's been there on my numerous visits back, introducing me to other food loving Pugliese, explaining the history and little stories behind many dishes and places in the region. Her passion for her region, its traditions and its food is absolutely contagious. Claudia is also very VERY discerning when it comes to quality. I can always trust her recommendations on a dish and an eatery. She has worked in the tourism business as a guide, group leader and also as manager of a few bed and breakfasts in Lecce. You can meet Claudia as she will be our local guide on the Food Lover's Culinary Journey in Puglia (next trip is October 5-13, 2014 - we have only 4 spaces left!) and you can follow her on Twitter (@ClaudiaParisi1) and where she tweets many amazing shots of Salento.
In today's interview, Claudia, a Lecce native, shares her tips and gives us a little background about the food and its traditions in Puglia, but specifically in Lecce and Salento - the most southern province of Puglia, right at the very tip of the heel. Lecce is the capital of Salento. I especially love how poetically she's described her terra and its food....
1) How did your passion for food and wine come about? What was the first dish you made?
When I was young I used to watch my mother cooking. She cooks very well and I learned a lot from her. My first dish was "Parmigiana" made with fried eggplant slices, fresh tomato sauce, lots of basil and parmesan. I started appreciating wine just a few years ago, when I met my friend Andrea who has a enoteca (wine bar) in Lecce, Mamma Elvira. He introduced me to many of our local wines. My favorite Pugliese wine is Negramaro.
2) In general (we'll get to the food next) what do you love most about Lecce and Salento?
I love my land (mia terra) because it is still pristine. If you take a stroll or drive in Salento you can see the never-ending stretch of our wonderful and ancient olive groves with the red earth below them. As we in Salento are on our own little peninsula in the heel of Italy, you will certainly and all of a sudden arrive at the sea, one that is completely transparent and showing off all the colors of its extraordinary vegatation. This Mediterranean blue is, in some places, completely enchanting. When lying on any of our many beautiful beaches, you'll have this Mediterranean blue in front of you and the cicadas singing in the trees behind you. Il mare mio (my sea) is the most beautiful of all beause it is MINE and has been since birth and I love him especially for the tranquility he gives me when I look at him.
Lecce is most beautiful at sunset when the old buildings, made with our local stone Pietra Leccese, take on a warm golden yellow color. The best moment (il momento più bello) to explore and discover Lecce is at dawn, when the city is deserted and you can walk undisturbed throughout the streets, gazing upon its ancients alleys and baroque buildings.
The tradition of using less expensive flour for our pasta still exists. We still make pasta by hand at home: orecchiette, sagne 'ncannulate, maritati (a pasta combination of orecchiette and handmade maccheroni). They can be made with wheat flour but you will also see them made with grano arso (burnt wheat flour) and barley flour, which was less expensive then wheat flour. [People who were too poor to buy wheat flour are said to have foraged the just burnt wheat fields or baking ovens for the the burnt grain (grano arso) that remained. They took it and made flour and then pasta with it.]
Even the desserts are influenced by our long ago rulers, mainly from the Eastern world. In fact, the predominant ingredients in the sweets are honey, almonds and cinnamon.
Taste as much of the food of our region as you can; rustico, pasticciotto, cotognata Leccese (quince jelly), pittule, lampasconi, handmade pasta dishes, taralli, ciceri & tria, and lots more. Spring, early Summer and Fall are the best times to truly enjoy Salento and its cuisine.
Do not to miss sagne 'ncannulate or orecchiette, home made pasta with fresh tomato sauce, lots of basil and cacioricotta (fresh cheese) on the top.
Don't miss melanzane ripiene (stuffed eggplant), la parmigiana (Eggplant Parmigiana), burrata (beggers' purses of mozzarella cheese stuffed with cream), and taieddra (a primo piatto of rice, mussels, and potatoes).
Be sure to try our "street food: il rustico and pasticciotto (Pasticciotto is the typical Salentino dessert you can never find in other Italian regions).
If I want to eat well at a more upscale restaurant in Lecce, I go to Corte dei Pandolfi. They serve modern cuisine with fresh local products.
Another place I like is Mamma Elvira, both the enoteca and the casual eatery. It is the best eatery and wine shop where you can taste the freshest local products produced well and in a casual atmosphere and you can sample hundreds of local wines. International atmosphere. Good aperitivo and Andrea, the owner, is very knowledgable and eager to discuss Pugliese wines.
Pescheria con Cottura, also in Lecce offers a new concept for eating fresh fish in a friendly and informal setting.
La Scarpetta - For a good pizza and main courses. Internal garden, very cute.
And around Lecce I would suggest Lemi, in Tricase, a few kilometers far from Lecce, on the sea. Creative mediterranean cuisine made with local products and a good wine list.
Sagra de Lu Porcu Meu - At the end of October, roast pork is celebrated in Muro Leccese and Ortelle. In the past, this was a farmers' tradition.
8) What dish is your signature dish, or cavallo di battaglia, as they would say in Italy?
I don't know..I'm not sure I have a "cavallo di battaglia." I just cook with passion every time I cook. I think passion is the best ingredient to make your dish "the best ever." My friends do always ask me to make torta pasticciotto and my crostata con marmellata with my homemade orange or mandarin marmelade. The oranges and mandarin are buonissime and picked right from my trees.
9) What would your ideal "best ever" food lover's day in or around Lecce look like?
I would wake up early in the morning, and while everyone else is sleeping, have an Italian breakfast in one of the cafes or bars in the historic center. Then I would go to visit the little towns of the Grecia Salentina where traditions are still very strong and then to the coast and to Otranto and its beaches. The thing I love to eat is eggplant parmigiana, but I would also want to remember the flavor of the sea with an aperitivo and a crostini with the pulp of ricci from Porto Badisco. Then a beautiful plate of spaghetti with mussels accompanied with the best rosè pugliese! At the end of the meal, I must have a pasticciotto and the best coffee. In the evening, I would return to Lecce for an aperitivo at dusk, once again astonished by the honey color of Leccese stone as the sun sets upon it.

Freshman Katie Sheehan
Final Stats
NORTH DARTMOUTH, MA- The University of Massachusetts Dartmouth women's cross country team finished third of five teams at the Little East Conference Championships and fourth of 13 teams at the New England Alliance Championships, while the men finished fourth of six teams at the LEC Championships and seventh of 14 teams Alliance Championships at the UMass Dartmouth Athletic Complex Saturday.
The women scored 63 points in the LEC meet and 108 in the Alliance meet. Keene State finished first in both championships. The men scored 106 points in the LEC meet and 182 in the Alliance meet, with Southern Maine finishing first in both meets.
For the women, freshman Katie Sheehan (Scituate, MA/Scituate HS) led the way once more, finishing fifth in the LEC with a time of 19:17 for the 5000 meter race. Junior Courtney Testa (Hopkinton, MA/Hopkinton HS) was 10th in 19:35, senior Meaghan Bohigian (Barre, MA/Quabbin Regional HS) finished 11th in 19:45, freshman Samantha Roderigues (Somerset, MA/Somerset HS) was 24th in 20:45, senior Stacey Dybel (Littleton, MA/Notre Dame Academy) finished 26th in 20:48, senior Megan Oliveira (Somerset, MA/Somerset HS) was 20th in 20:52, freshman Carolyn Cornell (Abington, MA/Cardinal Spellman HS) was 38th, in 21:21, and freshman Renee Laurencelle (Tyngsboro, MA/Tyngsboro HS) was 45th in 22:26.
For the men, freshman Ben Girard (Manchester, MA/Manchester Essex HS) was 17th in 26:38 for the five mile course. Freshman Scott Bernazzani (Abington, MA/Cardinal Spellman HS) was 22nd in 27:20, sophomore Zach Switaj (Tamworth, NH/Kennett Regional HS) was 24th in 27:21, freshman Eric Karstunen (Pembroke, MA/Pembroke HS) was 35th in 28:15, freshman Matt Ferro (Halifax, MA/Silver Lake HS)was 28th in 28:54, sophomore Chris Jordan (Taunton, MA/Taunton HS) was 41st in 29:18, and freshman David Yumping (Brockton, MA/Brockton HS) was 49th in 30:04.
"We finished right where I thought we would, our men and women had some good performances," said UMass Dartmouth Head Coach Jon Hird. "Both teams competed really well. Katie Sheehan will be the third straight Rookie of the Year coming from UMass Dartmouth, she's been a really pleasant surprise. Courtney Testa and Meagan Bohigian turned in very solid, senior-like performances, and the three of them gave us a strong 1-2-3 punch up front. Sam Rodrigues ran a good, solid race, and Stacey Dybel may have run the best race of her college career. We wanted our split from one to five to be under two minutes, and it was 1:31."
"The weather turned bad just as the men's race went off, and they ran under trying conditions," said Hird. "Ben Girard ran the type of solid race we have come to expect. Zach Switaj ran very well, as did Scott Bernazzani. Eric Karstunen was solid, as was our fifth runner, Matt Ferro."
The Corsairs will return to action at the Eastern College Athletic Conference Championships next Saturday.

There are some things you just don't talk about, and the crowning of the next king is one of them. It would be "impolite" to start planning a coronation while the existing monarch is still alive, I was told last week by one of those who may be involved when the time comes. Quite right, too. As the Queen prepares to celebrate the 60th anniversary of her Coronation on June 2 1953, it is to be hoped that she will go on and on. But that's not to say that those concerned have neglected to think about what might come next.
The Sunday Telegraph has learned of a major shift in attitude within the leadership of the Church, towards allowing the representatives of other faiths to participate in a coronation service for the first time. This would be a dramatic break with tradition, as the coronation has been an exclusively Christian event for 1,000 years. In the past, any such move was strongly opposed by the Church of England. There is now, however, a recognition that the next coronation will have to reflect the spiritual diversity of modern Britain in some way.
The ethnic and cultural make-up of the country has changed greatly since 1953, when the ceremony reflected the long-established notion of Britain as a nation under one God. Sixty years later, Her Majesty reigns over a nation with many gods. There are still 33 million people who call themselves Christian (including Roman Catholics, who were not represented in the service in 1953). There are also 2.7 million Muslims, 817,000 Hindus and 263,000 Jews, and many others.
In view of this, The Sunday Telegraph understands that Church leaders have accepted the need to be "hospitable" to other faiths within the service. They believe this will have to happen, although it must be done very carefully.
There is no question of a multi-faith service in which all gods are considered equal. The sacred central acts of the coronation must remain intact, and the service entirely Christian – but within that framework it should be possible to "recognise" other faiths, perhaps by allowing their representatives to take part in symbolic acts, such as the lighting of candles.
There was horror in some Christian circles seven years ago when it was reported that the Prince of Wales might like a multi-faith service to follow his coronation ceremony, with prayers and readings by Muslims, Sikhs and Jews. "We should not pander to political correctness," said one member of the General Synod, the Church's governing body.
The official response of the Church of England in 2006 was to put out a statement reminding everyone that this was an exclusively Anglican service and the Archbishop of Canterbury would be responsible for writing it, as he had been since 1066.
After that came a lockdown, which continues today. A spokesman for the Church said yesterday that it would not discuss any plans for a future coronation.
Privately, however, senior figures accept the need to change. One guidance paper produced for parish priests who wish to allow people of other faiths to participate in a Christian service suggests that they are asked to carry out an act such as lighting a candle, placing a stone or planting a seed, rather than praying out loud. It also suggests they read a passage that expresses common values, rather than from their own sacred texts.
The inclusion of any such acts in a coronation service would be a major break with the past, says Dr Robert Morris of the Constitution Unit at University College, London. "Essentially, the last Coronation was a straight rerun of what had gone before, over the centuries. It was an Anglican Christian service. No Popery allowed, etc. The only alteration was that the Moderator of the Church of Scotland was allowed to come on and present a Bible to the Queen. That was a big thing in 1953. The Archbishop of Canterbury refused to give space to any of the other churches, let alone faiths. So they have a long way to go."
Some of the language of the ceremony is laid down in law, such as the Coronation Oath Act of 1689, which says the monarch must swear to uphold the Protestant faith. However, the Archbishop of Canterbury's website says "the form and order of the service are ancient in origin but not immutable".
The new Archbishop, the Most Rev Justin Welby, showed his willingness to tweak tradition in March when he changed his enthronement at Canterbury Cathedral into an inauguration without many people noticing. He will write the service when the time comes, but not without help.
The Dean of Westminster, Dr John Hall, has the right to instruct the Sovereign in relation to the coronation, which will take place under his roof at Westminster Abbey. The Dean attracted criticism seven years ago when he broke ranks to suggest that something might be done in the service itself, saying: "The coronation service needs to find the right way of including people of other faiths." He was not available for comment this week, but the Abbey has hosted many multi-faith services.
In 1953, Britain was still putting itself back together again. In a country emerging from the darkness of war, here was a spectacle to inspire people and show that Britain could still be Great. A service designed to reassure that all was as it should be: Church, Crown and State working together under the strong direction of the Christian God.
The central acts of the coronation cannot be changed without changing the law but there was a lot of pomp and ceremony in the three-hour service of 1953 that may be left out in the name of austerity.
"The coronation itself can't be the same sort of spectacle it was in 1953," says Dr Morris. "We haven't got enough soldiers to line the route, let alone bandsmen. That was the last imperial coronation."
There will be no chance of closing Westminster Abbey for five months to prepare for the ceremony, as they did in 1953. The loss of income from visitors would be far too great. Instead of 8,000 people cramming into the Abbey, the capacity will be 2,000.
The television audience will be vast. The need to represent the beliefs and aspirations of people beyond Britain will be pressing, as Commonwealth leaders consider whether to allow the new king to lead them. The debate about why we are doing this, how much it costs and what the monarch is for, will be fierce.
There will be, says Dr Morris, a case for simplifying the Christian ceremony and supplementing it with other events. "There is a question of how the monarch should be seen to relate ceremonially, not only to his Anglican subjects, but also the rest of the population. There is a case for considering a series of essentially secular ceremonies, in which the monarch shows himself for acclamation to the rest of the population."
It would also put great strain on the ties between Church, State and Crown, some of which have snapped or are snapping already. To the Church, however, there is another precious dimension to the coronation. One senior figure described it to me this week as an ordination, an act of setting someone apart for a sacred purpose.
Unusually, perhaps, in terms of her predecessors, Queen Elizabeth came to her Coronation as a woman of deep personal faith. That continues to be the case, although she is certainly not uncomfortable in multi-faith services. It was Her Majesty who reminded the Church of England in a remarkable speech last year that it is not just there to serve Christians.
"Its role is not to defend Anglicanism to the exclusion of other religions," she said. "Instead, the Church has a duty to protect the free practice of all faiths in this country."
That belief is shared by Prince Charles, whether or not he really intends to be known as Defender of Faith per se
– as has been reported – or Defender of the Faith, as and when he becomes Supreme Governor of the Church of England.
His official website was revamped last year to include a section for Frequently Asked Questions, which says: "Contrary to some press reports claiming that the Prince wants to hold a multi-faith coronation when he becomes king, His Royal Highness has not been involved in any discussions or planning for the next coronation, and is very unlikely to give any consideration to the coronation during the present reign."
He is not alone in maintaining a discreet silence, which is right and proper. But neither would the Prince be alone if he sometimes offered up a prayer, privately, for strength and wisdom in dealing with what is to come.

Timberwolves cruise past 76ers 126-95
PHILADELPHIA — Nikola Pekovic had to chuckle on the bench as fans held a pair of gigantic cutouts of his head right over him.
His Minnesota teammates were certainly amused, laughing at the trio of Pekovic heads.
"When you look at the heads, then you hold it up to close to him, they're actually the same size," Kevin Love said, smiling.
The T-Wolves could afford some levity after a romp on a night when the basket had to look as large as one of those oversized heads.
Love scored 16 of his 26 points in a dominant third quarter and Pekovic had 16 points and 14 rebounds to lead the Minnesota Timberwolves to a 126-95 win over the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday night.
Minnesota made 16 of 26 3-pointers (62 percent) to put this one away in a hurry and moved back to .500 (17-17). Kevin Martin scored 18 points and Corey Brewer had 15 to help the Timberwolves win for the fourth time in six games.
Thaddeus Young scored 20 points for the Sixers, who entered the night having won the final four games of a six-game road trip.
The Timberwolves ended any threat of Philadelphia extending its streak by the second quarter. They led by 16 at the half and Love hit a pair of 3s in the third to build a 31-point lead.
The Timberwolves had seven players score in double figures.
The undersized Sixers simply had no answer for the Love and Pekovic underneath, or in Love's case from beyond the arc. Young, named before the game the Eastern Conference player of the week, gamely tried to shut down the potent duo, with no luck.
Love and the Timberwolves turned the game into a blowout in the third. He hit his first 3 for a 24-point lead, converted a three-point play for a 25-point lead, then nailed another 3 late in the quarter to make it 96-71.
The Sixers showed why they are one of the worst 3-point defending teams in the league. Love hit four, Martin had three and the Timberwolves hit 13 of 20 through the first three quarters. That was more than enough to finish off the Sixers.
The Sixers were riding a season-best four-game winning streak, capped by a win at Portland. Perhaps fatigued from the lengthy road trip, they were never much of a factor after the first quarter. Minnesota closed the first half on a 24-8 run, with Brewer and Love hitting game-changing 3s.
"They were playing good basketball, but Coach mentioned a couple of times that it's always tough coming back from a long road trip like that, so they might be a little complacent, a little lackadaisical," Love said. "We just felt they were a little tired being gone so long. We tried to take advantage of that, and I felt we did."
There's no break in the schedule for the Sixers. They play Tuesday at Cleveland and back-to-back home games Friday and Saturday.
"I've never seen a schedule like this coming back from a West Coast trip," said center Spencer Hawes. "It's not like we're just getting to stay home."
The already sparse crowd, still reeling from the Eagles' early postseason loss, fled for the exits by the fourth. The final quarter had the feel of a preseason game — which the Sixers surely wish it was. A.J. Price and Robbie Hummel connected on consecutive 3s in the final minute for the final 3s for a team that was shooting only 34 percent. Ricky Rubio had eight assists and Minnesota held a 53-40 rebounding edge.
"Just a really solid win for us," coach Rick Adelman said. "We came out at the start of the game and played well all the way through. We did a pretty good job of keeping them in the half court and passed the ball and shot the ball well."
James Anderson had 14 points, and Michael Carter-Williams and Evan Turner each scored 13 points for the Sixers.
"We've just got to bounce back," Turner said.
NOTES: Timberwolves F Luc Mbah a Moute sat out with a strained groin. … 76ers G Tony Wroten was inactive with the flu. … The game between the San Antonio Spurs and Timberwolves originally scheduled to be played in Mexico City on Dec. 4 will now be played in Minnesota on April 8.

Wig Care Tips - Synthetic Hair Wig
- Holding the wig by the part area, use a wide-tooth comb to gently comb the hair to remove any tangling.
- When combing the hair, always start at the bottom and work your way to the top, combing small sections of the hair with downward strokes until all of the hair has been combed and detangled.
- Drench the wig with a solution of lukewarm water and a deep cleansing shampoo or a wig shampoo. Use only lukewarm water.
- Use a brush to work additional shampoo into the hair using the same combing technique that was used initially to comb the hair. Start at the bottom of the hair and work your way up to the top, brushing small sections of the hair with downward strokes. Do not scrub the hair.
- Rinse the hair in the direction of the hair from root to end with flowing water until all of the shampoo is removed.
- Use a brush to work a detangling conditioner into the hair in the same manner as in Step 3.
- Rinse the hair in the same manner as in Step 4 with cold water until the water coming off the hair is clear and all of the conditioner is removed.
- Gently pat the hair with a towel.
- Once finished with the combing, hang the wig or place it on a wig stand and allow the wig to dry naturally.
- When the wig is completely dry, use a brush or a pick comb to create the desired style.

ONEONTA, N.Y. -- The Harvard women's water polo team fell Saturday evening to No. 11 Hartwick, 15-8. The Crimson sinks to 11-10 on the year and 0-1 in the CWPA Northern Division. The Hawks move to 19-4 overall and 1-0 in the conference.
Harvard hung with Hartwick in the first quarter, trailing by just a goal at the first intermission. The Hawks increased their lead to four goals as the Crimson fell behind 10-6 at halftime. Hartwick buckled down defensively in the second half, allowing Harvard to score two goals. The Hawks outscored the Crimson in the second half 5-2 to cruise to victory.
Devan Kennifer lead Harvard in scoring with five goals while also drawing five kick outs. Roxanne Pinto, Shannon Purcell and Patricia Smith all tallied a single score against the Hawks. Between the posts, Laurel McCarthy turned aside four shots.
The Crimson will host Northern Division foe Brown in its next contest. Harvard will face the Bears April 14 at Blodgett Pool.

Wedding day:
Sept. 2, 2012
The bride:
Julie Straus-Harris, 32, grew up in Potomac. She is a law clerk in the Baltimore chambers of Judge Diana Gribbon Motz of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit. Her late father, Dr. Stephen E. Straus, was the director of the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda. Her mother, Barbara E. Straus, retired as the assistant to the principal at Charles E. Smith Jewish Day School in Rockville.
The groom:
Adam Harris, 38, grew up in Detroit. He is an assistant public defender for the state of Maryland in Rockville. His mother, Judy Harris, is a writer and lives outside Cleveland. His father, Ira Harris, is a defense attorney in Detroit. His stepmother is Kay Harris and his stepfather is Alan Lipson.
Their story:
Julie and Adam met through his stepsister, Deena Roth, who was involved in a Jewish community organization in Washington, D.C.
"She was keeping an eye out for single Jewish women in that group, and she thought that Julie was a good pick, and she was right," says Adam.
The couple went on their first date in August 2010 and became engaged this past February 2012 when Adam proposed during a weekend vacation to Miami.
"I persuaded her during a storm to come outside on the boardwalk along the beach at night and that's where and when I proposed," he says.
The ring:
Adam worked with his cousin, Ronnie Fink, a jeweler in Michigan, to design Julie's platinum engagement ring — a round cut solitaire diamond in a half-bezel setting
The place:
About 200 guests attended the traditional Jewish ceremony and reception, which took place at the bride's childhood home in Potomac. Margo Fischer, of Bright Occasions in Silver Spring, coordinated the event.
"We wanted to find a way to bring my dad into the wedding," says Julie. "This is the house he loved and where he passed away. I feel closer to him when I'm there."
In lieu of a bridal party, the couple had family members escort them down the aisle and stand under the chuppah with them. Rabbis Joel Tessler and Joel Roth officiated.
Her dress:
The bride wore a strapless satin Anna Maier Ulla-Maija gown with a sweetheart neckline and natural waist from Hitched in Georgetown. To this "somethng new," she added something old (Adam's grandmother's gold bracelet and her grandmother's pearl necklace); something borrowed (her friend's pearl earrings); and something blue (strapless navy sandals from the Ann Taylor wedding collection).
The wedding featured a variety of flowers in various shades of yellow arranged by florist Nick Perez of Multiflor in Fairfax, Va. The bride carried a bouquet of white flowers.
Personal touch:
Julie and Adam honored their lost loved ones during the ring exchange portion of the ceremony.
"The ring she gave me was her father's wedding band," explains Adam. "And the ring I gave her belonged to my grandmother, who died this past summer."
Instead of the customary wedding cake, the couple served birthday cake for the bride's grandmother, who turned 87 on Sept. 2. They also served petits fours and fruit.
Flavorful favors:
Inspired by a trip to the state of Washington last August, the couple gave guests small jars of blackberry jam.
"We came across some blackberry bushes by the side of the road, and we plucked some," says Adam. "Her mom suggested we give away jam as favors, so we picked blackberries at a place in Montgomery County."
The Baltimore-based band Zemer Orchestra played traditional Jewish wedding music — and even "Happy Birthday" for the bride's grandmother.
"We wanted a live band that was well-versed in Jewish wedding music and could play a lively set, as well as American dance music so everyone could participate," Julie says. "They played the traditional hora, and we danced around in a circle. They were excellent and did a great job with all the music. People danced the whole night."

Ahead Of The Bell: Unemployment Benefits
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The number of people seeking unemployment benefits likely fell for third straight week, a hopeful sign for the struggling job market.
Economists forecast that weekly applications dipped last week to a seasonally adjusted 400,000 from 402,000 in the previous week, according to a survey by FactSet.
The report will be released at 8:30 a.m. Thursday.
Applications are slowly declining and have fallen in four out of the past six weeks. That suggests layoffs are easing.
But applications need to fall consistently below 375,000 to signal sustainable job growth. They haven't been below that level since February. Applications have been above 400,000 for all but two weeks since March.
The economy is growing modestly but not by enough to encourage much hiring.
Last week, the government said the economy expanded at a 2.5 percent annual pace in the July-September quarter, the best quarterly growth in a year.
That's strong enough to calm fears of another recession. Still, growth would have to be nearly twice as high - consistently - to make a major dent in the unemployment rate, which has been stuck near 9 percent for more than two years.
The figures come a day before the government releases its October jobs report. Analysts expect employers added 100,000 net jobs, nearly the same as the 103,000 added in September. The unemployment rate is expected to stay at 9.1 percent for a fourth straight month.
Employers have added an average of only 72,000 jobs per month in the past five months. That's far below the 100,000 per month needed to keep up with population growth. And it's down from an average of 180,000 in the first four months of this year.
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said Wednesday that growth is likely to be "frustratingly slow," after the Fed sharply lowered its economic projections for the next two years.
The Fed now says the economy will likely expand no more than 1.7 percent for all of 2011. That's down from its June forecast of 2.7 percent to 2.9 percent. And it predicted growth of only 2.5 percent to 2.9 percent next year. In June, the Fed estimated growth of 3.3 percent to 3.7 percent in 2012.
The Fed said it doesn't expect the unemployment rate to be any lower this year. And it sees unemployment averaging 8.6 percent by the end of next year. In June, it had predicted unemployment would drop in 2012 to as low as 7.8 percent.

Full Day
Yesterday was an interesting day, to say the least.
Happ was scratched from his next start this weekend against the Mets . . . He was one of three pitchers to see the doctor in Philly . . . Eyre came down with an ailing elbow . . . Pedro pitched great . . . Phillies had just seven hits . . . Five were solo homers, making it 10 of last 11 with the bases empty . . . Three homers came in the seventh inning and gave the Phillies a lead of more than one run (4-2) for the first time since Aug. 30 . . . Ibanez broke out with three hits, two being homers . . . Team became the 12th to have four players with 30 or more homers in a season . . . Chase stole his 20th consecutive base . . . Charlie brought in Brad for the ninth and then lifted him . . . Madson got a two-out save throwing six pitches, all strikes . . . Charlie won his 432nd game, passing Jim Fregosi for fourth place on the team's all-time list for games won by a manager . . . The win ended a five-game losing streak on the road and kept the division lead at six with 26 more games to go.
In games started by Pedro and Cliff, the Phillies are 11-2. That's pretty impressive.
Today, Escalona and Tracy were added to the roster. Sergio gives them another lefty in the pen. J. C. got a cortisone shot in his pitching arm and will be shut down for a couple of days. In Sergio's last four appearances at Reading, eight of his last 16 outs came on strikeouts.
Tracy is a veteran left-handed power bat, giving Charlie another option off the bench. Stairs hasn't had a hit since July 11.
Minor League Notes
Both Reading and Lakewood begin their playoffs tonight. Results are posted on MiLB.com.

MilfHunter Wicked lines
Levi and I are cruising around and we are talking about this Hot MILF friend of his. He says that she's married and in town from the UK. So, we roll up to the house and there she is in a smoking hot orange bikini. As we walk up we realize that she's on the phone with her husband! Levi starts messing with her and eating her pussy out. Meanwhile she's trying desperately not to moan. She finally hangs up and she's introduced to me as Stephanie Moretti. What a fine piece of ass she is. Levi then takes her into the gazebo and rails the fuck out of this chick and unloads all over her face and tits.

Mican, how do I join a group like the Wild Wild West or Liberal Lodge?
Thanks for the thumbs up! I don't understand all this yet but I'm working on it.
... I think if I were able to start over, I would probably offer a slightly different variation. I really want to challenge the idea of Christmas as it is currently practiced by society being a purely Christian holiday, among other integration. I would probably argue the "secular" reasoning a bit different, in that there are some plausible secular motivations for keeping the current holiday. (sort of a second step to the first point). .. A few other things, mostly in re-arranging how the points are communicated, as I think I could have done a better job Anyway.. I'll give it some thought and let you know prior to a reboot.. I had thought about starting a new thread, as it was a substantial sub plot to the thread topic (directly related of course).
NP, after all these years I still have to work on form. I really need to start keeping a kind of response outline because trying to go back and summarize 3 -4 pages of responses, and confirm what has indeed been supported or not.. it's impossible, well maybe just a whole lot of work. Then, I tend to take too big a bite and post 5 or 6 sub arguments. Anyway, we are still a work in progress.
There were too many car commercials. It was like "buy a car".. "buy a car" .. "Buy a car!". It's just poor formatting.
Thanks for the rep. Whether sincere or merely an olive branch, it was a kind gesture.
Thanks for the rep... I needed a leisurely topic.
Glad u like my capital punishment post.
actually.. I'm confused by the edit.. just respond to my post as it is.
I see you edited your post.... sorry I will edit mine to reflect some things I missed.
