Its May 1st and that means Holiday Food Party!! The "holiday" we are celebrating this time is Mother's Day and of COURSE I made something pineapple and coconut. Pineapple Coconut Sweet Rolls to be exact. Like cinnamon rolls, but tropical because, ON BRAND. ha ha!!
I think this is funny that I made this not super easy recipe for my Mother's Day post for the holiday food party because it didn't go exactly as planned…because my kids kept interrupting, Like all day long. I am amazed I got these done in time.
This post for the Holiday Food Party snuck up on us as fast as May 1st has. Most of us were scrambling at last minute to make and photo our recipes. In fact I was out of town over the weekend and had to get up reaaaallllly early on Monday am to make these. Well, to get the sweet roll dough started at least. I thought I was doing good getting it started before my kids were off to school.
But when you have two kids in am schools that have staggered start times and staggered end times and you end up letting your dough rise for like 4 hours instead of one and a half because you are busy running around getting kids from school you get this super high, extra bubbly yeasty dough. Which looks cool, but ends up making for a thinner sweet roll dough than it should be. But that is ok.
When I have kids saying " mommy mommy mommy mommy mommy" every three minutes what ends up happening is the sweet rolls rise a second time for a lot longer than they should. Then when they bake they don't really rise at all. They are all risen out. What was interesting with all my kid inflicted time delays the sweet roll dough ended up being almost like puff pastry. Super light and flaky. Not soft and chewy like typical cinnamon rolls are, but a little more crunch. I actually really liked them this way. So maybe my time delays ended up as a baking mistake turned amazing new recipe technique? Not quite an actual laminated dough but similar texture.
I also douse the rolls in enough icing to hide the fact the the sweet rolls aren't giant and puffy. Normally I test a recipe several times before posting, however with my time crunch and the fact that I have made the sweet roll dough before several times ( usually correctly) I went with it. Plus the filling and icing are super easy. And of course top with toasted coconut.
Filled with crush pineapple that caramelizes in the brown sugar when baking, topped with toasted coconut these pineapple coconut sweet rolls are sure to be a new tropical favorite of the classic cinnamon roll.
Here are all the amazing recipes from the group of us for this Holiday Food Blog Party for Mother's Day. We all made some pretty awesome stuff, like always. Be sure to visit each blog and check out what we all made.

2. German Apple Cake from Magnolia Days

Pineapple Coconut Sweet Rolls
Pineapple Coconut Sweet Rolls Makes 18 rolls
For the Sweet Dough (Adapted from America's Test Kitchen)
- 3/4 C organic canned full fat coconut milk (heated to 110 degrees F)
- 6 Tbsp organic melted butter
- 3 large free range organic eggs, room temp
- 4 1/2 C organic all purpose flour, divided
- 1/4 c granulated organic sugar
- 1 envelope ( 2 1/2 tsp) rapid rise yeast
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 c shredded unsweetened coconut
- 3 Tbsp butter, very soft
- 2/3 c brown sugar
- 3 cups crushed pineapple, drained well
- 4 ounces butter, room temp
- 4 ounces cream cheese, room temp
- 4 ounces canned coconut milk ( full fat)
- 1 tsp coconut extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/3 cup shredded coconut, toasted
- In a medium bowl whisk together the eggs, coconut milk and butter, set aside. Whisk together 4 cups of the flour, sugar, salt and yeast in a stand mixer bowl and then place in stand mixer and attach dough hook.
- Start the mixer on low and slowly pour in the egg mixture. Once it is all combined mix for about 8 minutes or until the dough only sticks to the bottom of the mixing bowl. If the dough is super sticky add flour 1 Tablespoon at a time until its not sticky. You don't want to add too much and dry it out.
- Transfer dough to very lightly floured surface and shape into a ball. Place in a lightly oiled bowl ( you can grease the bowl with melted butter) and wrap snugly with greased plastic wrap. Cover with a towel and place in a warm draft free area to rise. You want it doubled in size, about 1- 1½ hours of rising time.
- Once the dough has risen remove from bowl to a lightly floured surface and gently press or roll to a rectangle about 12x16 inches, it doesn't have to be exact. If you want thinner rolls, roll to about 16x20. Spread with melted butter on the dough except for a 1" strip along one of the long edges of the dough. Sprinkle with brown sugar (using more than the ⅔ c amount if desired) and then top with the crushed pineapple. Roll up the dough starting with the long edge covered in filling and finish rolling at the uncovered edge with that edge down. Gently press and shape into an even cylinder. Cut into 18 one and one half inch pieces. Place into one or two baking pans a few inches apart. Cover with greased plastic wrap ( either oiled or buttered) and let rise again for another hour.
- Preheat oven to 350 Deg. F. Remove the plastic wrap from the rolls and bake for 25-30 min. Remove from the oven to cool
Make the icing
- Using a stand or hand mixer mix together the icing ingredients until well combined. Drizzle over the top of the rolls and sprinkle toasted coconut over the top. Serve warm
- Rolls last up to one week refrigerated. Heat slightly before serving.
For a nice change on the usual cinnamon roll, these pineapple coconut sweet rolls are so good and not overly sweet. I know I would be pretty stoked if my family made these sweet rolls for me on Mother's Day but since I don't expect them to work THAT HARD for me ( just for me to have a massive kitchen mess to clean up later) I might make another batch soon and freeze. They can reheat and that is just fine with me.

While it was heartbreaking to read the comments, I have to agree with what most have said. We are a mockery of Test team.
However, read all the Indian comments. Stuff like we are going to go down to third grade Ranji Trophy Teams and Sehwag is going to score 375 in two sessions!! As if India is some f*cking amazing team! They scored less against NZ last night than we did! And Sehwag scored 2!
Indian arrogance pisses the hell out of me. Who the hell do they think they are? Remember the Roumari border incident a couple of years back when BDR shot 16 BSF soldiers for trespassing our sovereign territory and firing at us, I went to this Indian msg board after that and I was shocked to read the stuff they were writing. Stuff like India should nuke that little piece of sh*t BD into oblivion for having the audacity to kill Indian soldiers... we (India) liberate that piece of sh*t and they show their gratitude by shooting at us, they all deserver to die! I just couldn't believe it. And it was not one or two posts, but hundreds pouring in continuously for weeks. I think India and Pak should nuke each other and do the rest of us a favour!

Hardworking men know that comfortable shoes are key to having a good work day. Without good shoes, everything starts to hurt. This is because the feet are literally the base of the body, and if they are not well-supported and taken care of, neither is the rest of the body. Men's clogs by Alegria are some of the most comfortable, most ergonomic shoes available for the hardworking man. Considering the special design, high-quality materials, and excellent craftsmanship, if there is not a pair of Alegria shoes in your closet, you are missing out!
All Alegria shoes are made with the highest-quality materials, including natural leather, suede, memory foam, latex, and cork. The footbed of each pair of men's clogs are made with a combination of memory foam, cork, and latex to give you a custom fit for your feet every time you put on a pair. If you are one of those who wears specialty orthotics, then you will be pleased to know that all of the men's clogs have removable insoles, so you can wear your orthotics without damaging the shoes. For walking on smooth or slippery surfaces, the bottoms of all Alegria shoes are non-skid, so that you can walk on any surface with confidence. With materials like these, you know the shoes you buy are going to make you happy, and keep you happy for longer than most shoes!
In addition to the high-quality materials the men's clogs are made with, they are also specially designed with healthy walking in mind. The flat undersoles are intended to give you stability while walking and standing, preventing undue stress on your ankles and knees, while the rounded toe box helps maintain proper posture while walking. That design also helps alleviate stress in the ankles, and knees. With these two design features, you'll not only feel more comfortable walking and standing, but you will also notice your entire body feeling better!
If you are style-conscious, fear not! The men's clogs are not only extremely efficient, but they are stylish too! The shoes come in a variety of styles, colors, and materials, so you can find the exact shoe to meet your needs. Whether you're looking for a pair of shoes to wear in the office, on the jobsite, or at home, you will find something in Alegria's selection of men's clogs to catch your eye.

Thanks to a $111,615 grant from the United States Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), the Walters Art Museum has successfully catalogued and digitized more than 600 American paintings, drawings and portrait miniatures for the museum's online collection. Rarely seen works from John Singer Sargent, Mary Cassatt and John La Farge, among others, are now available for download and public use at art.thewalters.org.
In conjunction with this project, our spring focus exhibition, American Artists Abroad, April 19–June 22, will highlight works from our rich collection of American art. "Rather than simply reacting to what they saw, American artists often successfully reinvented themselves through their time abroad without losing sight of their connection to home," said Jo Briggs, assistant curator, 18th and 19th century art. "This exhibition showcases beautiful works collected over more than a century, and now, consistent with the Walters' continuing mission of access and outreach, they are available online for everyone to enjoy."

Armed with early draft grades and plenty of scouting information, NFL Head Coaches head to Mobile Alabama in late January to get (in most cases) their first glance of this years aspiring rookie talent. The Senior Bowl is an invite only event, where those graduating Seniors considered "NFL Ready" have a chance to display their talent. The Senior Bowl is the first time that early draft grade perceptions begin to change. The chosen talent pool provides a unique parity among prospects to separate themselves from the competition.
Colin Kaepernick (Nevada) - At 6'5" Kaepernick has drawn comparisons to a more athletic version of Joe Flacco. Stock has risen as much as anyone during Senior Bowl week. He very well could find himself drafted in the 1st round this April.
Jake Locker (Washington) - A hyped talent that had a generally unimpressive week of Senior Bowl workouts, especially with issues in the pocket. Locker has Aaron Rodgers type rushing ability, but his accuracy and velocity need to improve. Still likely a 1st day selection.
Ricky Stanzi (Iowa) - Under-rated prospect that does a lot of things right, Stanzi possesses ideal size. Might top out as a back-up, but he has potential.
Andy Dalton (TCU) - Not an elusive athlete, but an effective rusher when is forced to leave the pocket. Played in a pro-set offense and is likely the most comfortable playing from the pocket of all the Senior signal callers. Smart player and solid leader.
Greg McElroy (Alabama) - He cracked a bone in his right hand during the game and won't throw for at least two weeks. Solid prospect that could've used this game as a stepping stone after a solid week of stock boosting. Will need to heal up by the combine and impress in workouts.
Christian Ponder (Florida State) - Conflicting reports surrounding Ponder's skill set. Shoulder injuries are a major concern. His two TD passes in the Senior Bowl game earned him MVP honors.
Running Backs
Roy Helu Jr. (Nebraska) - Strong Junior and Senior seasons could have Helu as an intriguing late round prospect. He didn't open any eyes this week, but he still has time.
Daniel Thomas (Kansas State) - Rising prospect pulled out of the Senior Bowl with a hamstring injury. Could end up one of the first 3 RB's selected.
Kendall Hunter (Oklahoma St.) - A 5'9" bowling ball type, Hunter had an impressive week of practice and might have boosted his stock into the 2nd day.
Owen Marecic (Stanford) - A dual threat full back and linebacker in college, Marecic may end up as the top FB off the board this April. Not much fantasy value.
DeMarco Murray (Oklahoma) - Could've really boosted his stock, but ended up with negative rushing yards. He's likely a change of pace back at the next level and will look to impress at the Combine.
Da'Rel Scott (Maryland) - The North's leading rusher with 15 yards scored a TD as well, and has potential.
Anthony Allen (Georgia Tech) - Solid prospect, solid week of practice and solid game performance.
Charles Clay (Tulsa) - This big sized RB (6'3" - 240 lbs) is an accomplished receiver with over 2,500 receiving yards finding the end zone 28 times through the air. An interesting prospect who may not get pigeon-holed as a FB.
Noel Devine (West Virginia) - Smallish type RB in the mold of Dexter McCluster. Lots of collegiate receptions with high yard per carry average. Not particularly powerful but very elusive. Niche type RB that did not improve his stock with 1.1 YPC.
Derrick Locke (Kentucky) - Compact and undersized, but runs very hard and looked solid during the Senior Bowl. Solid third down back potential here.
Bilal Powell (Louisville) - The games leading rusher, Powell is a tough inside runner that could be a touchdown machine in the NFL.
Wide Receivers
Vincent Brown (San Diego State) - Upside is not huge because of just solid speed and average size, but Brown could surprise.
Dwayne Harris (East Carolina) - Shaky week of practice, Harris is going to need to step it up this offseason to resurrect his stock.
Niles Paul (Nebraska) - A hands catcher that, early on, looks to fill the role as an outside or slot receiver.
Austin Pettis (Boise State) - At 6'3" and 200 lbs fits the mold of an NFL X receiver exemplified by great hands and nice speed. We expect Pettis to be a draft season riser as one of the more intriguing prospects.
Dane Sanzenbacher (Ohio State) - Improved each season at Ohio State and showed up well at the Senior Bowl. He led the North team with 5 catches and 62 yards. A solid prospect.
Titus Young (Boise State) - One of the biggest risers during Senior Bowl week. The explosive, deep threat player in the mold of Mike Wallace or DeSean Jackson is said to be able to stop on a dime and beat triple coverage with ease. A true hands catcher has a nice move off the line of scrimmage and a burst of speed to beat DB's deep.
Leonard Hankerson (Miami) - An interesting prospect out of Miami, where we tend to be leery of the talent coming out of Hurricane country. Statistically falls into class of Michael Irvin and Andre Johnson, where he actually broke Irvin's record of 11 receiving TD's in a season with 13 and matched Johnson's record of back to back 800+ receiving yard seasons. Hankerson's had 100 receving yards in the game on 5 catches to take the South Team's MVP honors. This is a player we will be watching closely through Draft Season.
Ronald Johnson (USC) - Did not impress or disappoint this past week which pretty much sums up Johnson's game...he has enough skills to be a deep sleeper this summer, but does not have any standout assets.
Jeremy Kerley (TCU) - Slot receiver that had an excellent week of practice and showed off his versatility. Helping his stock.
Greg Salas (Hawaii) - Solid size and speed, but not elite, Salas did not have a great week of practice. He is typically a sure-handed threat and could still be a 3rd day selection.
Jock Sanders (West Virginia) - Late add to the squad, he has a great name, great speed but may be held back by his size.
Courtney Smith (South Alabama) - Small school prospect with ideal size and the athletic ability to be a game changer. He'll need seasoning at the next level.
Edmund Gates (Abilene Christian) - Extremely raw prospect with blazing speed, Gates is going to need a few years to acclimate to the speed of the NFL.
Tight Ends
Luke Stocker (Tennessee) - A big, powerful tight end that can block well and also catch the ball enough to be a possible fantasy threat.
Lee Smith (Marshall) - Stock on the rise, but more of a blocker than a pass catcher.
Lance Kendricks (Wisconsin) - Could be a tweener, but runs solid routes and can catch
D.J. Williams - An H-back prospect, Williams is very undersized at only 6'1" and 236 lbs. Could he be in for a Dorin Dickerson-like Combine performance?
This time of year is very important for a Dynasty Fantasy Football Player. The Dynasty Rookie Draft is an important way to bring your team to contender status or maintain the Dynasty you have worked so hard to build.

Waukeela Camp for Girls: A Coming of Age Experience
We believe that a summer at Waukeela is a coming of age experience for girls. Beyond all of the amazing activities we offer, we believe that camp truly prepares our campers for life as independent, thoughtful and self-confident young women.
Why Waukeela?
Girls Shine Here
Each and every girl at Waukeela can shine in her own way while at Camp. Whether on the lake, in a production, on the pottery wheel or on the playing field, we give each girl the opportunity to be her best self while she is here. Every girl fits in at Waukeela because every girl is accepted for being herself!
Girls Grow Here
A summer at Waukeela helps our campers learn skills such as independence, leadership and respect. After a summer at Waukeela, your daughter will return with a higher level of confidence in herself, her choices and the way she treats others. Our camp community fosters this growth through a series of age-appropriate challenges and guidance from caring role models.
Girls Meet Lifelong Friends Here
The most important coming of age experience at Waukeela is meeting lifelong friends! Any Waukeela alumnae can tell you that camp friends are the BEST friends you can have. At Waukeela our friendships are gossip and drama-free, meaning that girls make friends in a kind and caring environment where they can be their authentic selves.
Camp Culture
A Culture of Sisterhood
The Waukeela sisterhood means everything to our campers, parents, staff and alumnae. Our culture is centered around building lifelong friendships, encouraging each other, providing our campers with strong role models and having a community where everyone contributes their best self.
A Culture of Growth
At Waukeela our campers have the opportunity to experience failure and success in a safe environment. In an environment where we don't keep score for each failure, but a place where our campers can try and try again. The growth experience at Waukeela is one of a kind! Our campers return home more confident in their abilities and take these new-found successes with them into their everyday lives.
A Culture of Tradition
Since 1922, Waukeela has been a summer camp where girls can be a part of something larger than themselves. The traditions of our camp are ones that our campers and alumnae remember for the rest of their lives! When a new camper joins Waukeela they are immediately brought into our community through the spirit and fun of our traditions.
Camp Philosophy and Value
The philosophy of Waukeela is built around strengthening relationships with ourselves, our community and each other.
Building Relationships
Making and keeping friendships is a central theme of our Waukeela philosophy. Camp friends truly are friends for life and Waukeela girls make long-lasting friendships each summer at Camp. Unlike at school, Waukeela campers get to know girls who are both younger and older than they are. Building both mentor and mentee relationships is a goal of ours at Waukeela each summer.
Building Community
The Waukeela community is extremely special and unique to our summer camp experience. As a community we aim to build each other up, develop skills and experience leadership and growth. We help each other reach our goals and no Waukeela girl succeeds alone.
Building Self
At Waukeela we aim to build a community where every camper is accepted for exactly who she is. Our community is built on respect for each other and a desire to incorporate the Waukeela traditions of sisterhood and personal growth.

Sivaris Garrofon Paella Beans 400 gr.
$ 11.99
Traditional White Lima Beans - A must for an authentic Valencian Paella If you have ever had a true traditional Valencian paella, you would have noticed it included both green beans and flat white beans. These white bean are known as "Garrofón". They are similar to "lima beans". This pack contains 400g (14.10 ounces) of Garrofón. Simply soak the beans overnight in cold water before use. Simply add them with you green beans after the "sofrito" is made just before the stock is added. The amount of beans to use is not critical but try basing it on around 10-20 gr. of dried beans per person.

On Sunday there was a tragic accident that happened in the Royal National Park south of Sydney. A young man was walking with friends and while stopped to get a photo the edge of the cliff that he was on gave way and collapsed underneath him and he fell to his death. That young man was Fabien Ardoin who I had photographed just recently for my tribal inspired series. He was a really warm and open hearted young man that was enjoying all that the world had to offer.
Fabien had been travelling his way around the world for several years and was living in Wollongong, my home town. It's always terribly sad when someone dies young but especially so when you know they were just going to go on to achieve a lot of great things. I only met Fabien for a few hours on the day we did the photo shoot but he was intelligent, articulate, sincere and a pleasure to work with.
I can only imagine the devastation of his poor girlfriend who witnessed the tragedy and his family who were notified by French authorities.
RIP Fabien. It was a pleasure to have met you.

Next Step After the HOXB13 Discovery: A Mouse Model of Familial Prostate Cancer
The exciting discovery (see story) by William Isaacs, Ph.D., and colleagues of a major susceptibility gene for prostate cancer, HOXB13, was Step One. Step Two: A mouse model. "Mouse models have proved invaluable in their ability to provide unprecedented insight into the mechanics of human cancer genes," says Isaacs. "We hypothesize that when a mutated version of HOXB13 is expressed in the mouse prostate, either by itself or in conjunction with an established prostate oncogene, it will promote or accelerate the development of prostate cancer in mice.

Hello everyone,
It's Marta Lapkowska here.
I hope you are doing great.
I am back to you with my new page and full video tutorial.
You can see my creative process step by step.
As you ca see this is very magical page. I wanted to recreate the forest and dreamy scenry from the photo. I added some dry moss, thread to build my page.
I love the colours of Deja Vu paper collection, so soft and elegant. My favourite way of altering the chipboards is to emboss them with white embossing powder.
I hope you will enjoy my creating process. Have fun !

Opening Reception: Friday April 7th 6-9pm (RSVP)
Exhibition Dates: April 7 – 23, 2017
Enlivened by his interest in spacial structures and interconnectivity, Andre Kan's paintings serve as excitable blueprints for a possible reality. Each work depicts the artists' signature imaginative building blocks that converge and begin to build upon each other and strengthening each other towards an ever transforming space. Kan's structures are substantial and complex but not yet anchored – they float suspended in his psychological space. In this way Kan's buildings remain a playful proposition for the viewer not yet tied to a specific place or function. With his dynamic formations, Kan propels us towards an ever optimistic future where new connections and constructions have yet to materialize.
Kan's most recent body of work, 'Levels' sets the stage as an optical course between the viewer and the artist. The works depict architectural interpretations that no longer rely on a single or double vantage point, but rather the multiple view points of a landscape as a whole. Through geometric deciphering- these playful, interconnected structures suggests what possibility means through self discovery, and the stages of questioning the fundamental nature of being and the world that encompasses it.
Andre Kan is a Toronto based painter. Since graduating from the Ontario College of Art & Design University in 2014, he continues his creative pursuits as an Artist, Photographer, Curator, Producer, and Musician. His paintings have been showcased throughout Canada with permanent collections in the U.S and China.

The sentiment was stamped with Jet Black archival onto white CS, sponged lightly with Vintage Photo DI and then a very light coat of embossing ink was added. UTEE was applied, tapped off and heated. That resulted in a partial coat of UTEE and I sponged it liberally with Vintage Photo again resulting in the splotchy look that I enjoy.

Every year, Congress must pass a budget to fund the government for the next year. This congressional requirement has become more complex over the years, but no less important, as the budget decides what federal programs should be funded.

The National PTA's policy agenda outlines the policy priorities National PTA and its constituent associations believe are critical to ensuring all children reach their highest potential.

becausewecare™ compostable bags are made from polymer resin, mainly consisting of cornstarch. They are engineered to provide similar characteristics to that of the regular plastic bag made from non-renewable resources.
Our compostable bags are made with cornstarch, an annually renewable resource, which unlike trees are grown and harvested in a single season. becausewecare™ sources corn from Northern China where the abundance of rainfall means that no irrigation is required, saving energy and water. We only use "third grade" corn, which is not suitable for human or animal consumption.
Because our bioplastics are made with organic plant materials, they break down within 45 days in a compost environment – about the same time as a dry leaf – offering the most practical and eco-friendly solution existing today.
At becausewecare™, even our most resistant bioplastic products take a maximum of 90 days to decompose completely in the right environmental conditions. These bioplastics need moisture, microbes and soil before they start to break down.

TYPO3 Cumulus Flash tag cloud by TYPO3-Macher - die TYPO3 Dienstleister (based on WP Cumulus Flash tag cloud by Roy Tanck) requires Flash Player 9 or better.
Resource-efficient Cities - often called Eco-Cities - ensure that their socio-economic development is significantly decoupled from resource exploitation and ecological impacts. They accomplish this by minimizing the required inputs of all natural and human resources within their area, including water, air, soil, nutrients, minerals, materials, flora and fauna, ecosystem services, and social and financial resources.
Optimizing urban resource management includes saving such resources from being destroyed, overused or polluted, managing them in the most efficient and sustainable way, and contributing to their improved quality, replenishment and restoration.
Productive Cities go beyond improving the efficiency of current or future urban systems, including new cities or new urban developments, with the aim of becoming net productive systems (in ecological, economic and social terms). A
Productive City thus decreases its dependency and extractive burden on international resource chains, as well as its reliance on its peri-urban and regional hinterlands.

While writing code for a "file descriptor" which imposes an array of function pointers, i stumbled over a "problem" which i first thought was an error in sdcc. In order to report the error i simplified the source until it only consisted of these 4 lines:
typedef int (*MyFPtr)(struct Data*); struct Data { int a; }; extern int bar(struct Data* f); MyFPtr foo = bar;
➜ I make a typedef for a function pointer, because function pointers are so awkward in c (though they are a pretty compared to function pointers in c++ ... which resulted in the invention of the data type 'auto' ...)
Then at some point i actually define the struct.
Later i declare a function which matches the typedef.
Finally i try to assign this function to a function pointer variable.
compiling this source resulted in an error for the last line:
/foo-1.c:4: error 78: incompatible types from type 'unsigned-int function ( struct Data generic* fixed) __reentrant fixed' to type 'unsigned-int function ( struct Data generic* fixed) __reentrant fixed' /foo-1.c:5: error 78: incompatible types from type 'unsigned-int function ( struct Data generic* fixed) __reentrant fixed' to type 'unsigned-int function ( struct Data generic* fixed) __reentrant fixed'
btw.: ignore the double error. Error messages in sdcc are always a little bit suboptimal.
This looked as if the compiler had a problem to see that too identical types are identical.
And indeed they aren't.
As i learned from my bug report, the first line implicitly declares a local data type. Local to – yes, i don't know exactly to what. But it's local. And so it's different to the later and globally defined struct.
One suggested solution was:
typedef unsigned int (*T)(struct Data*); extern unsigned int foo(struct Data* f); T bar = foo;
which compiled without error. But this now was actually an error in sdcc: This source is wrong too:
Line 1 and 2 both declare local data types which by that are different. Line 3 shouldn't work. That there was an error could be proved by actually trying to use the function pointer typedef:
typedef unsigned int (*T)(struct Data*); // local data type extern unsigned int foo(struct Data* f); // local data type T bar = foo; // works in sdcc but shouldn't struct Data { unsigned int a; }; int main() { struct Data d = {0}; foo(&d); } // rejected
This lead me to the question:
For what is the implicit declaration of a local data type in a function's argument list good, anyway? I can't think of a real use case. It's near impossible to call such a function. You have to cast the function to a function which accepts the data type you actually have, because you cannot even cast your data to the local data type...
Second, it's just a pitfall: If you declared the data type before the typedef and before the function declaration or definition, then the global data type is used. If you didn't, then a local data type is used. Imagine a local variable a in a function body was local only if there was no global variable a defined before…

Author: Lizi/Monday, March 4, 2013/Categories: Lux
Over the first weekend of February over 100 young people and youth leaders gathered in Northampton for the latest 'Lux' weekend. Focussed on the theme of 'Maiden', they took a closer look at Mary, the mother of God.
Unpacking Catholic teaching, discovering more about devotional experience and taking time to see how Mary directs our glance towards her Son, Jesus at every opportunity.
Over the weekend the young people were led by the NYMO team and volunteers from across our Diocese, many of whom are aged 18-25 years of age, and joined by our speaker Miss Anna Cowell who works in the Diocese of Leeds youth ministry office. To watch her talks please click here and here.
Visiting the Diocesan Shrine at Great Billing was a highlight for those who chose to go; it led one young person to write
'Fr.Damien is so excited about Mary and icons, it's contagious… I am going to ask my priest if our whole parish can visit the shrine!'
As well as dance, drama, sign language, small group discussions, Mass, Reconciliation, Adoration, cheerleading and praise and worship we were joined by Deacon Michael Fleming, the Walsingham Pilgrimage Diocesan Director. He led a workshop encouraging all of us to think about pilgrimage and what it is, as well as looking at why we go on pilgrimage.
In the evening we had a comedy night and were entertained by the Christian comedy duo 'ToozaCrowd'. All of us, young and old, were left crying with laughter and definitely wanting more.
To sum up what the 'Lux' weekend is for anyone who has not been, here are some of the quotes from the young people themselves,
'Lux is a really active weekend that replaces all of your stress with prayer and knowledge about God…it's great!' Natalie, aged 15 from High Wycombe
'Lux teaches you so much about yourself and God… you will never want to leave!' Kate, age 13 from Aylesbury
'Lux is the best opportunity for people our age to really learn about our faith with other young people' Tom, age 15 from Princes Risborough.
Check out our gallery to see some photos from this event.
If you or someone you know are of secondary school age and would like to join the NYMO team for the next 'lux' weekend email firstname.lastname@example.com for more information.

Panasonic Microwave OvenReviewing: Panasonic Slim Line Combi | Rating:
I bought my new Panasonic slim line combi microwave oven two years ago when my last National brand stopped working for no apparent reason. Life without microwave is really difficult now . I wanted a new microwave with added features so I searched internet and ordered from Amazon a new combi microwave. Combi is a new technology it means a microwave with conventional oven and grill functions. My new Panasonic slim line combi microwave oven is white in colour. It is available in three different colours white, silver and black. But because all my kitchen appliance are white in colour so I bought white. The Panasonic slim line combi microwave is very high voltage (950 W) and there are three setting available which are high, medium and low. There is also a very important safety feature, a child lock system. The microwave lock its buttons when press continuously.
I used its traditional Oven for baking fish, pizza and chicken etc and I find no difference. The Panasonic slim line combi microwave oven is very helpful, quick and fast . The microwave produce very slow sound during operation and so I have no worries when my children are sleeping.
Grill function is also very efficient . The Panasonic is a reliable name with good quality. I received a grill, oven dish, cook book with the microwave.
Buttons are soft and easy to press. There is an small screen on the front where time displays and also operational instruction displays.
I like my Panasonic Slim line combi due to all feature in one . The microwave is really big help during Christmas or other occasions . I can cook more dishes at a time without waiting. I find microwave excellent and it heats dishes quickly as compare to my previous microwave due to its 950 W power.

Great "Sugar" Trailer
Posted: January 29th, 2009 by
WorstPreviews.com Staff
Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck, the team behind "Half Nelson," have written and directed "Sugar," a fictional tale based on their research. And today we have the trailer for it, which you can check out by clicking on the link below.
Plot: "Sugar" follows the story of Miguel Santos, a Dominican pitcher struggling to make it to the big leagues and pull himself and his family out of poverty. Playing professionally at the Kansas City Knights baseball academy, Miguel finally gets his break at age 19 when he advances to the United States' minor league system. Miguel travels from his tight knit community in the Dominican Republic to a small town in Iowa where he and a couple of other Latin American teammates are the only Spanish-speaking people in the vicinity. As Miguel struggles with the new language and culture, despite the welcoming efforts of his host family, he is faced with an isolation he never before experienced. When his play on the mound falters, he begins examining more closely the world around him and his place within it, and ultimately questions the single-mindedness of his life's ambition.
Project is described as a dramatic and cautionary account of the baseball scouting machine with a good-natured character at its center. The film is scheduled to hit theaters on
April 3rd
, in limited release.

|He was a handsome man!
There has been a lot of talk over a plan to change the name of Aurangzeb road to Abdul Kalam Road. To many this is another example of Indian history being rewritten by rightists.
Sometimes history needs to be rewritten. We need the honesty and the courage to look back in time through our current lenses and decide if the nation needs to honor someone anymore. And what do we see when we look back?
Aurangzeb was the sixth Mogul emperor in Hindustan, the land beyond the Indus as we have been characterized through history. He was the third son of Emperor Shah Jahan and Begum Mumtaz Mahal (of Taj Mahal fame). He was personable and brave. The education of a Mughal prince of the first blood could not have been complete without a good understanding of the rules of poetry, of music, of art and calligraphy. Aurangzeb moreover was a seasoned general, a good leader of his men and a moral man.
|He was brave (facing a must elephant as a teenager).
And so were they all. That was part of the Mughal allure. This dynasty produced six men who were not just competent rulers managing to keep a diverse country together – that is what a dynasty does – it consistently produced men who were personally talented, brave, intelligent and refined.
And so Aurangzeb was not alone in having "princely" traits. He had tough competition from his three full-brothers – Dara Shukoh and Shah Shuja who were older than him, and Murad Bakhsh who was the baby of the family. They were all courageous, intelligent, talented and good-looking, extremely well educated and bred to be Kings. Shuja and Murad were reputed to be cleverer generals, while the crown prince Dara was the liberal intellectual. Aurangzeb for his part brought in a certain resoluteness. And they all jostled for power.
By anointing his oldest son Dara the heir apparent, Shah Jahan perhaps provided a focal point for the ambitions of his three other sons, who revolted. When the dust settled, Shah Jahan and Murad were in prison, Shuja had been driven into exile and Dara had been captured. The man who had declared all along that kingship was not his aim, Aurangzeb or "hazrat ji" as he was called by his brothers-in-arms, had triumphed.
But so what if Aurangzeb had been treacherous — overthrowing his father and betraying at least one brother? Regular history stuff, we could say. 'Price of power', 'win some, lose some,' 'live by the sword' and all that. But I am not dealing in aphorisms here, I am not here to say, 'Look at this man, he killed his brother!' Indeed worse things have gone on in this world. Instead let me point to how Aurangzeb rationalized his actions. You see Aurangzeb was a moral man — deposing his father and eliminating his brothers required carefully thought out explanations.
He had not coveted power, he claimed. Whatever he did he had done for the righteous cause. Let us hear in his words, what that cause was:
(Extract from Aurangzeb's Letter 1 to Shah Jahan from Adab e Alamgiri)
"As, during the extreme illness of your majesty, the reins of power had dropped from your hands, and the eldest prince, who had not even the resemblance of a mussulmaun, having obtained arbitrary rule and authority, exercised unlimited controul, and revived the customs of infidelity and atheism throughout the empire; thinking it lawful, politic, and just to overthrow his designs, I advanced to these parts. My first battle was with wicked infidels, who had destroyed mosques, and erected on their sites temples to their idols. The second engagement was against the evil-acting atheists; and, as my intention was virtuous, in each, with an inferior force, I became successful, and preserved without a wound."
And so a charge of apostasy was brought against Dara and he was executed.
Prince Dara was inclined towards Sufism and his religious propensities and obvious intellectualism might have alienated him in court but he had been as generous and liberal a prince as could be wished for, and greatly loved by the people. They rioted when they saw him in chains and they surely realised when events panned out as they did, that they had probably written his death warrant by showing their support for him.
In a land where Akbar had stated that 'no man should be interfered with on account of his religion', the first prince of the land, an intellectual and an aesthete, a man popular by all accounts was put to death for heresy. Imagine what this could do to the psyche of a nation. When events play out on the public stage, who wins and who loses becomes important. Aurangzeb came to power in outrageous fashion like King Richard III of England. Unlike Richard III he got away with it, but I cannot believe he did not damage India when he did.
Aurangzeb ordered Dara's headless body to be paraded through the bazaars. I suppose people used apathy to cope with the depression that undoubtedly loomed over them. These are the kind of things that can bring a country down, sway it from the free and joyous path of curious inquiry and set it on a self serving, disengaged course. You distance yourself from the power centre because you do not believe you can influence it, and you understand that it does not care for you.
As Abraham Eraly, the noted historian says, "Dara's promise was of a humane progressive future. When he was executed what was involved was not just the death of a prince but the death of a future."
Having become King, Aurangzeb used the state machinery to decimate his opponents. A charge of murder was made against Prince Murad and the Kazi was instructed that the Shariah law of blood for blood should be enforced. Murad refused to plead his cause— it was lost already — and he was executed.
And it did not stop there. Aurangzeb had come to power on a religious agenda, and he strove to prove all his life that he was the upholder of the faith. He gradually adopted an ascetic lifestyle, shunned ostentation, and moved away from proscribed matters. He disdained Paan chewing, disapproved of drinking and advised women not to wear tight trousers like men. Which was a departure from the tone set by his liberal ancestors, but he also differed from his forbears in the matter of managing his Hindu subjects. He reimposed Jizya, the tax on non Muslims in the face of almost universal opposition from his people and against the specific advice of his ministers. This was not realpolitick or statecraft but the result of Aurangzeb's single minded attachment to his agenda. Of course he destroyed temples too. Only unlike his predecessors he did this in a systematic manner, as an instrument of state policy. Thousands of frankly incendiary remarks and actions are directly attributed to him and the reason I will not sit and quote from his letters or give instances of his actions is because I do not want to set up a Hindu vs. Moslem dialogue. There are enough sites which do so but if you are a student of history look no further than persian.packhum.org. Check out Akham I Alamgiri and the Adab E Alamgiri.
Aurangzeb was a bigot, who applied his bigotry as state policy. He was also soft spoken and gentle, thoughtful in many ways and humble but that is not the point. Aurangzeb felt no kinship with the majority of his people and he tried his hardest to radicalise his country. Enough said. Regarding some of the other points made by his apologists:
- That the Marathas plundered Bengal in 1740 – Agreed. Does that make Aurangzeb a great King?
- That Aurangzeb destroyed less temples than other Mughal rulers. I could not find any credible references for this assertion and the even more outre one that he had actually built temples in Bengal. Aurangzeb followed a rigorous policy of allowing old structures to stand but not allow any new temples to come up. Aurangzeb's letters suggest a sort of temple thirst that I have not seen in Akbar or Jahangir but who knows.
- That music flourished in his time. Yes music flourished but that was despite, not because of Aurangzeb. Patronage for the arts gradually shifted to the provinces – to Oudh Kangra Mysore and Hyderabad, away from the Mughal capital and this shift in focus created additional faultlines along which the empire imploded.
- That Aurangzeb employed more Hindus than other Mughal Kings. Well he should have, as the empire was more entrenched in India by his time. Besides, sources of Uzbeg and Iranian talent had dried up because of Shah Jahan's ill advised war in the Balkh. Aurangzeb was unable to regain Kandahar and feared an Iranian invasion. His land hunger turned inwards and he expanded his empire within the subcontinent – of course he employed more Hindus – he could follow no other course. But even in this matter it is his attitude which is important. He chafed in the circumstances and managed to offend most Hindu groups, in particular the Rajputs like in the case of the famous Ajit Singh-Durgadas incident. As the Rathods and the Sisodias became disaffected, his reliance on the Marathas increased which came with its own set of problems. The following should give you an insight into his mind,
"To employ a Hindu when you can a Musalman is a sin." (Aurangzeb in a letter to his son)
"Do not allow the despicable infidels to repair their old temples"
Daily News of 11/1/1705 "The Emperor…ordered…to demolish the temple of Pandharpur, and to take the butchers of the camp there and slaughter cows in the temple…It was done."
In 1671 Aurangzeb ordered that revenue officers of crown lands could only be Muslims. Because he was unable to fill the positions, he modified the rules to allow half of them to be Hindu.
I cite these instances not to demonise Aurangzeb as partisan - he was a product of his beliefs and of a time where his beliefs had legitimacy. I am trying to counter a rather silly point made by his apologists - that he employed more Hindus than his predecessors. I am merely pointing out that Aurangzeb was not very proud of having a record number of Hindus in his employment. But let us get back to the other arguments on his behalf:

I am merely pointing out that Aurangzeb was not very proud of having a record number of Hindus in his employment. But let us get back to the other arguments on his behalf:
- That Aurangzeb was Hindi. Whatever. When he came to power, his family had been in India for more than hundred years, and he had a rightful claim to Hindidom. But he did not stake that right. To be Hindi was to think of all Hindustan as one's own – regardless of sect. It was not the Indian nation Aurangzeb thought of – like Akbar did when he revoked Jizya, Jahangir does when he writes with such interest and curiosity of Hindu customs. Aurangzeb focused on a narrow Islamic-centric definition of what a Sultan should be, which left him little scope to be "Hindi".
- That the jizya was not discriminatory for its time. Nonsense. It was reinstated one hundred years after it had been abolished by Akbar. The highest of Mughal amirs opposed Aurangzeb on this matter. Soon after the decree there was an earthquake and the amirs who felt it was an omen, again entreated with Aurangzeb. So did Jahanara, his own sister. From time to time there were requests from his officers for exemptions, requests that were routinely rejected by the emperor himself.
- That Brahmins were exempt from jizya. No they were not, the other Hindu castes volunteered to pay jizya for them when Aurangzeb refused to accede to their demand for exemption!
- That the zakat tax on Moslems makes jizya alright. I find the whole argument infuriating. It is like making non Jains go veggie during Paryushan.
- That he was alright for his time. For that time? What are we talking about here? This was fifty years before the Industrial revolution started in earnest and a good four hundred years after the European Renaissance, before the emergence of Nation states in Europe. Aurangzeb was situated at an admirable time where he could have led India forward. Instead of a unifying figure, he turned out to be one of the most divisive sovereigns to have sat on the throne at Delhi.
- That caste Hindus committed atrocities too. Agreed. Is that the only defence for Aurangzeb - that the Hindus deserved it?
Many of my friends do not think about Aurangzeb at all but about the principle of it… They say, enough already, let us move on. Why change Poona to Pune and Madras to Chennai, why say Mumbai when Bombay falls easier from my lips, they ask. It is sometimes wiser to let sleeping dogs lie. I should not bring up Khilji's conquest of Gujarat, or the execution of the Mughal princes at the Khooni Darwarza. Then again, if something long buried has been raked up, it is probably time for an inquest, to set matters right as we see it, here, now.

text: Over the weekend I have finally gotten around to do some cleaning and needed to wipe off the dust on my 27" iMac. I used a 100% cotton industrial cleaning cloth (disposable) to first wipe the layer of dust on the glass but all it did was smear the dust around. Then I decided to moisten the cloths with an alcohol solution and it helped in picking up the dust but I was left with wet streaks. To clean up the wet streaks, I took a moistened cloth to wipe an area then immediately wiped it with a dry cloth. All-in-all, this process took nearly an hour. With that, is there an easier (and preferably inexpensive) solution to cleaning the glass without having to do so much work?

Here are a couple more old school miniatures, Wizards from the 1988 Ral Partha AD&D series. I painted these for a now defunct game store. When the store closed the owner gave the remaining models to me.
I painted these in 1992 and my painting abilities have improved since then.

The male Wizard also 1988 Ral Partha. I painted it to be either an Elf or Half-Elf wizard.
The rear of the model.
I block painted them quickly and would treat the current paint as the base coat if I went back to repaint them.

The spells are found. Your witchy wardrobe picked out. Heck, you are almost ready for the big night. You just need a little something to tell the average passerby that you know the voodoo ways. But what could it be? A normal witch would have a long nose with a wart on it, but one of the perks of being a voodoo priestess is that you can still be beautiful.
Ah, yes! You need some dreadlocks. Ones that say, "yeah, I woke up like this," and actually mean it. This Voodoo Dreads Wig will be perfect for any kind of magical ceremony you have to perform. Turning someone into a zombie? These dreads will stay in place, and not get in your face during an important part of the spell casting process. So, go out there, and start practicing your witchy ways!

2011 Aug 3 - Pre-exposure prophylaxis, or PrEP, is currently being studied as a potential method for a person who is at risk of HIV infection to reduce their risk of becoming infected. It involves taking anti-HIV medications on a regular basis.
Earlier this year, a study called iPrEx, found that an anti-HIV pill (tenofovir + FTC, called Truvada) taken daily reduced the risk of HIV infection when used by men who have sex with men. Surprisingly, a few months later, a study called FEM-PrEP was closed early because daily tenofovir + FTC did not seem to reduce the risk of HIV infection among heterosexual women. Based on the preliminary data, it is not clear why PrEP did not work for women in the FEM-PrEP study.
Preliminary results from two new PrEP studies, known as TDF2 and Partners PrEP, were announced early in July 2011 and additional data were presented at the IAS conference in Rome. Both of these studies suggest that PrEP does work for HIV-negative heterosexual women and men.
The TDF2 study enrolled 1,219 HIV-negative heterosexual men and women from Botswana. Nearly half (46%) of the participants were women.
Half of the participants were asked to take a daily pill (Truvada, containing two anti-HIV drugs: tenofovir + FTC). The other half were asked to take a daily placebo. Participants returned to the study site every month to receive their pills.
During the study, 33 of the participants became infected with HIV. The HIV infections were distributed as follows:
Based on these numbers, participants using tenofovir + FTC were 63% less likely to become infected with HIV than participants using a placebo. This finding was statistically significant.
A separate analysis looked at whether tenofovir + FTC provided similar levels of protection for both men and women. The analysis found that tenofovir + FTC reduced the risk of HIV infection by 80% for men and by 49% for women. Although it appears that PrEP was less protective for women, the study was not large enough to draw firm conclusions about the effectiveness of Truvada by gender.
Adherence to taking a pill every day was relatively high. By counting the number of leftover pills, researchers estimated that the overall adherence rate was approximately 84%.
Daily Truvada was well tolerated. Participants taking Truvada experienced slightly higher rates of nausea, dizziness and vomiting than those taking a placebo. All the reported symptoms were mild.
Only one participant developed drug resistance during the study. This person had acute HIV infection when they enrolled in the study and was therefore HIV-positive when starting PrEP. Of the participants who were HIV-negative when starting PrEP and later became infected, none developed drug resistance.
The Partners PrEP study enrolled 4,758 heterosexual serodiscordant couples (one partner in each couple was HIV-negative and the other positive) in Uganda and Kenya. Nearly 40% of the HIV-negative partners were female. None of the HIV-positive partners were eligible for ART according to their country's treatment guidelines at the time of enrolment.
The HIV-negative partners were assigned to one of three groups: One group was asked to take a tenofovir (Viread) pill daily; one group took a pill containing tenofovir + FTC (Truvada) daily; and one group took a placebo pill daily.
The couples were followed for an average of 1.7 years. A total of 78 of the HIV-negative partners became infected with HIV during this time. The number of HIV infections in each group was as follows:
Overall, tenofovir taken alone reduced the relative risk of HIV infection by 62% and tenofovir + FTC reduced the relative risk of infection by 73%. Both of these findings were statistically significant. Although it seemed that tenofovir + FTC provided more protection than tenofovir alone, this difference in rates of protection was not statistically significant.
A separate analysis was performed to determine if PrEP benefited both genders. The analysis found that PrEP was beneficial for both men and women. Tenofovir alone reduced the risk of infection by 55% among men and 68% among women while the combination of tenofovir + FTC reduced the risk of infection by 83% among men and 62% among women. Unlike the TDF2 study, the Partners PrEP study was large enough for researchers to make definite conclusions about the effectiveness in different genders. All these findings were statistically significant.
In this study, the adherence rate was extremely high: approximately 97%. The adherence rate was assessed by counting the leftover pills that participants returned to the study team. This was higher than the adherence rate observed in other PrEP studies, such as iPrEx and TDF2.
Unlike these other studies, Partners PrEP only enrolled serodiscordant couples who were in stable relationships. It's possible that being in a relationship helped the HIV-negative partner adhere to their pill-taking schedule.
Both PrEP regimens were well-tolerated and did not cause any major side effects. The participants who took anti-HIV drugs reported slightly higher rates of mild nausea and diarrhea than those taking a placebo. These side effects were more commonly reported during the first month after starting PrEP and decreased afterwards. Information on drug resistance has not been released.
Both the TDF2 and Partners PrEP studies strongly suggest that oral PrEP is safe and effective when used by heterosexual men and women. In contrast to the findings from the FEM-PrEP study, both of these studies suggest that PrEP does work for women. Further analysis is needed to explain the FEM-PrEP results.
An ongoing PrEP study, called VOICE, will provide more information about the effectiveness of PrEP among women. This study is enrolling heterosexual women and investigating the use of three different PrEP regimens: (1) daily tenofovir, (2) daily tenofovir + FTC, and (3) daily application of a vaginal gel containing tenofovir.
It is important to note that all participants in these trials, whether they were taking PrEP or a placebo, were provided with a comprehensive package of prevention services. This included risk-reduction counselling, adherence counselling, diagnosis and treatment of sexually transmitted infections, and free male and female condoms. These studies demonstrate how many additional infections are prevented when PrEP is added to a comprehensive approach to HIV prevention. PrEP may be less effective if provided in the absence of these services.
The TDF2 and Partners PrEP studies are ongoing although the provision of a placebo pill has been discontinued. After the release of the preliminary results, all participants were offered the option to remain in the study and use PrEP to reduce their risk of infection. These types of studies are commonly called "roll-over" or "open-label" studies. These studies will provide important information on adherence and risk-taking behaviours among men and women who know that the pills they are taking are effective.
