Constantine and Skip are true New Orleanians, having known each other since they were just wee little New Orleanians in elementary school, making their way through high school, doing their own things as adults, and then finding themselves right back together after a number of years. And lemme tell ya, these two are some characters!
Skip said, "I've know Constantine since we were in grammar school, played football in high school and then the story ends. Everyone goes off doing this thing called life and then this thing happened in New Orleans. I forget, what's it called? Oh yeah, Katrina."
He continued, "I had lived in London for many years and became known as the hot dog guy, providing hot dogs for baseball and softball, and also putting hot dog stands in pubs. Katrina comes and goes and I'm the 'King of Hot Dogs' in the United Kingdom. I came back to New Orleans and started reconnecting with people. One day, I did these dogs for a Tulane baseball game. I'm talking about opening a hot dog business one minute, and the next minute, Constantine and I are actually doing it with absolutely no idea whether it was going to work at all."
Well, did it work! On opening day, the Dat Doggers found themselves with a line all the way down the block. Dat Dog's first location was across the street from their current one…a little hole in the wall with enough room for about three people. But now, they're in some swanky new digs right across the street…plenty of inside and outside seating to sit and enjoy your favorite dog.
Constantine said, "When I went places, I would ask people, 'Do you like eating hot dogs?' and you'd be surprised how many people came up with a smile. It was like a secret society. And so it made sense. Truthfully, we really don't sell hot dogs. Instead, we actually sell properly encased meats, which are frankfurters or sausages. I like to think that what we do is quality product and quality service that keeps people coming back."
And quality product and service indeed! Don't get it twisted, Dat Dog is not your typical fast food place. "We are a restaurant that is a family place, a community place," Constantine said. "We believe in being part of the neighborhood. And hopefully, we are setting an example for other people."
Dat Dog favorites include the traditional beef wiener, and the alligator and crawfish sausage. And for the vegetarians, they've got you covered with a veggie dog (spicy chipotle, black bean, and veggie patty).
So how does it work at Dat Dog? First, you gotta pick your dog, then pick your toppings… andouille sauce, guacamole, hummus, jalapenos, olive salad, sauerkraut, wasabi, among others. "If you get it wrong, we'll tell you like, 'Don't put sauerkraut on a crawfish sausage.' Otherwise, proceed at own risk," said Skip. Couple that with the toasted sourdough bun and some chili cheese fries and we're pretty sure you might slap the person sitting next to you!
We can attest to the fact that there's no dog like Dat Dog! In the words of Dat Dog, "Put a smile on your face!"

let's play pretend
MONDAY yells at you for resting and enjoying yourself on Sunday.
"The New York Times isn't worth your TIME." I want to argue back, but I put my little head down and get right into the mental line. Leaving me at the end of the day with a headache, a shoulder ache, a (self-induced) heartache, and the ache list could go on. but why? so what: it's just an ache or seven. they will go away soon enough. but...
it's raining, again.
back on a budget, again.
microsoft excel training, again.
a blank canvas, again.
let's play pretend.
my sunday self, says:
pretend all you want.
wear that pretty green dress.
play a little bit (always).
my monday self disagrees.
well guess what Monday,
i don't care what you say.
i say:
let's pretend the whole week is sunday.
let's make that true.

VIDEO: Sharing the Road With Snow Plow Trucks
It's official: Boston has set a record for the most snowfall recorded in a 30-day period.
Over the past 30 days, the city has recorded more than 69 inches of snow, shattering the previous record of 58.8 inches from Jan. 9 to Feb. 7 in 1978.
So it's only fitting that this week's safety tip is about sharing the road safely with snow plow trucks. You might want to pass this advice along to fleet drivers as a friendly reminder.
The Massachusetts Department of Transportation offers these tips:
To take a quiz on sharing the road with snow plows, click here. To watch a video from KWWL Channel 7 in Iowa, click on the link or photo below the headline. The state has seen an unsettling spike in collisions involving snow plow trucks this year.
This is a great reminder for all fleet drivers that deal with winter weather conditions. When plows are traveling toward your fleet vehicle, it's also a good idea to shift as far away from the center of the road as you can (as long is it's safe).
Determine the actual cost of owning and running a vehicle in your fleet. Compare vehicles by class and model.

Is it in the mailservers outbound queue? /var/spool/mqueue/.. There are host of commands (depending on your MTA) to tell you if a message is in your outbound queue. For sendmail the following works: sendmail -bp You can also look at the logs for both Mailman and the MTA to see where the message is currently in the system. The mailman queues are in: /usr/local/mailman/qfiles/.. If you have stopped the Mailmanctl daemon from running then you can delete the msg.db and msg.pck files for a message without any harm. ====== Unless you move at super-sonic speeds you are not going to intercept the message before Mailman has processed it (unless we're talking about a really big list or a truly ancient mail server), so more than likely you will be dealing with the MTA on the box.

Synopsis: When Sarah wakes up dead at the Mall of America, she learns that not only was she murdered, her killer is still on the loose.
When you're sixteen, you have your whole life ahead of you. Unless you're Sarah. Not to give anything away, but . . . she's dead. Murdered, in fact. Sarah's murder is shocking because she couldn't be any more average. No enemies. No risky behavior. She's just the girl on the sidelines.
It looks like her afterlife, on the other hand, will be pretty exciting. Sarah has woken up dead at the Mall of America—where the universe sends teens who are murdered—and with the help of her death coach, she must learn to move on or she could meet a fate totally worse than death: becoming a mall walker. As she tries to finish her unfinished business alongside her fellow dead teens, Sarah falls hard for a cute boy named Nick. And she discovers an uncanny ability to haunt the living. While she has no idea who killed her, or why, someone she loves is in grave danger. Sarah can't lose focus or she'll be doomed to relive her final moments again and again forever. But can she live with herself if she doesn't make her death matter?
If you are looking for a YA title that will have you clapping and laughing and flipping pages through the night… I Woke Up Dead at the Mall is for you. It's been a long time since I've read a book as charming and original as this one. NOTHING IS LIKE THIS BOOK. If you aren't already reading this book then RUN don't walk to the nearest bookstore and buy it. Now.
The moment I read the blurb about this book, I knew it was going to be a fun read. What I didn't know was that this book would be at once witty and delightful and achingly lovely on every single page. Every now and then a novel comes along that really reminds me of all the things I LOVE about YA literature. The romance that is just present enough to make you swoon without making you roll your eyes, the plot that actually surprises you, and prose that is gorgeous enough to keep you a bit starry-eyed as you read. This is that novel.
The Mall.
Or, as they say in this book… The afterlife. As the title implies, the afterlife as we see it here, takes place in a mall. Or, rather, malls across the world. Apparently, everyone who has unfinished business wakes up at a mall, where they have to learn to let go of their earthly problems and move on to their next lives. It's a little absurd to think that the dead are congregating at malls around the world, but it also makes a weird kind of sense. Those who are murdered in New York City go to The Mall of America, because it's the only mall large enough to hold all of them apparently (isn't that a happy thought).
I loved the imagery of dead zombie mall-walkers, forced to spend eternity walking the mall and reliving their deaths until they muster up the will to face their past and move on to the next life. It's just such a clever idea. That's an image that sticks with you.
The Ghosts.
Sarah is extremely believable and likable from the very first paragraph. She wakes up and is kind of like, "Are you serious? THIS is what death feels like?" Which is what I think I would say if I woke up dead in The Mall of America. I thought he voice really jumped off the page – it was like reading a letter from a close friend. I felt like I knew her immediately, and I really enjoyed her wry sense of humor and witty commentary. First person doesn't always work, but she was a very compelling narrator, and I got swept up in the story without missing a beat. Plus, she has major SASS, which is something I appreciate in a YA heroine.
The supporting cast was also a selling point here. Even Lacey and Declan, both of whom I thought would be annoying and hard to like when they were first introduced, won me over by the end.
The Romance.
Nick if a dreamboat for sure, and while it is a little like instalove, it didn't bother me because I think all bets are off when you meet a guy in a support group for the dead – especially if you never got the chance to be in love while you were alive. They've got some mad chemistry, and I liked that even though they clearly are becoming a thing, that doesn't stop them from looking after their own families over each other. I like when people make their own decisions while falling in love – love doesn't have to change everything, and it's unrealistic to change all of your plans and priorities around the second you meet a guy. Luckily Nick and Sarah both have unfinished business that they have to attend to, and they really support each other in trying to tie up their earthly loose ends.
God? The Big Giant Head? 42?
Basically the only thing I didn't really love in this book was the God-like being. I felt like "The BOY (Boss Of You)" as it/they/he/she is called was a little too out there. It was the biggest detraction from the overall charm of this story, and I would have liked a clearer picture of who is pulling all the strings and why they/it/he/she makes certain decisions. Like, what makes the universe actually tick? This was left pretty unclear, and that bothered me like a gnat that just won't stop buzzing around in your ear.
This is definitely a book that falls on the quirky side of the YA spectrum, which is in my wheelhouse. I think there will be people who might be disappointed that there isn't more in the way of explanations or backstory about the afterlife (especially about the BOY), but that didn't bother me. This was a very character-driven book, so I didn't need a ton of world-building, and in fact, I think any more world-building might have bogged this story down. I loved how light and fun this read was, and I wouldn't have wanted it any other way.
I Woke Up Dead at the Mall is a fantastical-contemporary-romance with a dash of magical realism; which is apparently a combination that works very well if you're Judy Sheehan. I'm going to be the first in line to buy her next YA book!
Rating: 5/5 stars

Today I am finally showing you some of my sewing room makeover ideas! It has been a fun project to do with my granddaughter and we have enjoyed seeing it all come together! But we would get part of it done and cleaned and organized and then we would make pillows, pillows and more pillows...so we would have to clean up that mess and then I quilted my Americana quilt in between times and had to clean that all up! This room definitely gets used!So here is a wide view of my sewing room. This is a big, long bonus room that is above the garage. I love that I have room to lay my quilts out on the floor when measuring for binding or just to lay the blocks out to see what it looks like. This is a big open room and I have plenty of room to spread out in!This is the before picture. I mostly just organized and decorated this room. These pictures are from the entrance as you would walk into this room. I bought a door rack from the container store to put all of my books for quilt patterns, bag patterns and the big book on the bottom rack is all stitchery patterns! The wooden box in the bottom right corner holds all of my embroidery floss! Each one of those little bags has a different color in them! My granddaughter and I had to re-organize several of the colors and put them back in place…they are all numerical. I moved my mannequin from down in my kitchen to this corner in my sewing room. My granddaughter put a new apron on her and added ribbons to the hat! So cute! I found the antique can at Hobby Lobby and it is going to house all of my mom's old buttons!I found these two basket stands and ladder and we filled them with all of the quilt kits that I have not made yet…I know it is a little embarrassing! I have a lot of work to do! I keep telling myself that I cannot buy anymore quilt kits until I have finished up a few of these…now I just need to listen to myself. :) The little portable Brother sewing machine in the top right picture is where everyone who comes to sew with me sits! They have their own little work station.This is where the bulk of the work gets done in my sewing room. Some of the sewing room ideas for this makeover are, that I have a high cutting table with two mats on it and two rulers. I have my scraps of fabric organized by color in the two cubicles on each side of this table, with the threads organized by color on the top of one of the cupboards. My sewing machine in the top right picture is an OLD Bernina Industrial sewing machine. It works so good that right now I would never give it up! It is an industrial machine…so it goes very fast! No one really likes to sew on it but me! :) And the picture in the middle is my Handi Quilter 16 long arm quilting machine! I am loving this machine, even though I feel like I am still learning on it! (There is a sneak peek of the Americana quilt that my friend and I are making!)Here is where the fun part comes in…I painted the window alcoves a delicious butter yellow and we accented with the red and grey! I have two window seats and they have never been decorated…so now they are and they make me very happy! The red and yellow quilt is one that a dear friend, Bev, taught me how to make. It was is a pieced quilt that she taught a group of us how to make . We made a couple of blocks a month and they are all different. I hung a fun red and yellow apron on the wall with a doorknob hanger. The table in the bottom right houses my light box. This is where I trace all my patterns for stitching and for quilt appliques. I just traced another one of my blocks of the month, it is so nice to trace, cut and iron all in the same space! I found this cute banner at the craft store and the fun chalkboard. My granddaughter wrote this fun message on it.Here is my other window alcove. I found this darling red sign and a fun red basket shelf. I then added my fun vinyl saying above the window and with all the fun pillows this is just a super happy place!To finish off the decor for my sewing room, I had to add a few quilts. The one on the bottom two pictures are a quilt that I made when I was only about 11 or 12 years old! We learned how to cross stitch in primary and we made a fun sampler pillow. Well, I had my stitching done in just a matter of days, so my mom took me down to the fabric store and we bought a kit that had stamped quilt squares! I cross stitched half of the squares and my mom sewed the other half! Then she made it into this quilt and hand quilted it for me! I used it a lot when I first got married and some of the edges are really worn. I need to see if I can restore it back to the original state! I have very fond memories of this quilt and it has a lot of love in it! The quilt on the top is one that my sister made me after our mom passed away. It has all of her scraps in it! It also is very precious to me and means a lot. This fun little antique sewing machine decoration sits on the top of my book shelf. It is a reminder to me that sewing has gone on through all the ages and that it can bring people together and you can create many precious memories while you are sewing. I am so grateful that I had a mother that taught me how to sew. She made me unpick it, if I did it wrong and do it over and that is how I learned a lot of my sewing skills. I hope that I have passed this on to my daughter and hopefully now I can pass it on to my granddaughters!
Now that I have my own little "Happy Place" that I can sew, quilt, and create lots of great memories…my husband might not ever be able to find me! :)
Do you have your own little happy place? It might be your kitchen, a reading nook, or perhaps an outdoor room. I hope that you can find a little space that makes you happy and that you can share that happiness with someone you love.

Starseed/Lightworker DNA Activation Attunement with the Language of Light
- City: Hanahan
- State: South Carolina
- Country: United States
- Zip/Postal Code: 29410
- Website: https://www.EvaMarquez.org
- Listed: November 13, 2017 10:00 am
- Expires: 25 days, 20 hours
The Starseed/Lightworker DNA Activation Attunement is an attunement that can be passed in person or at distance while talking on the phone or via Skype. Eva will activate your unique Starseed DNA. This activation will assist in the awakening of your natural abilities that resonate with your star nation (your galactic origin – yes you have the same ability as they do) so that you may connect with your galactic guides from your home planet – your star nation and embark on exciting journey of spiritual growth.
This attunement includes:
- Energy work combined with the Language of Light and crystals grid. (The Language of Light combines all the languages from the universe in thought energy forms. It is the language of the Gods. Rev. Eva remembers the spoken form of the Language of Light. Each sound carries an incredible amount of energy, color, geometric shapes and light coded messages.)
- Cutting of Cords and other energy links that take away your energy and vitality.
- Releasing of energy that no longer serves you in positive way.
- Reconnection of your basic Axiatonal grid with Earth, yourself and your home world.
- Opening and activation of Earth and Soul Star Portals to connect with the center of the Earth – Atlantis and the Universe and beings of Light.
- CHAKRA – cleansing, rebalancing and activation.
- Activation of DNA.
Chakras are our spiritual batteries. We have 7 basic chakras. Their energy extends horizontally and merges into an astonishing glow of rainbow when energy is healthy.
We have 12 basic meridians in our physical body + 2 meridians covering our "nervous system" and "sensing system" – those are Central and Governing meridians. In total, energy healers work with 14 meridians. Meridians are energy pathways in the body that supply energy to and from at least one organ. These energy pathways are important for our physical health and have great importance in our physical body evolution – changes – change of DNA, returning back to your original blue print – please know that this is a gradual process. Meridians energy runs vertically in our body and each pathway carries its color – same like chakras. These are 14 vertical energy lines. 7 meridians energy originate (extend) from the center of the Earth and 7 meridians originate (extend) from the Universe – your home world. This DNA activation interweaves horizontal chakra energy (spiritual) and vertical meridian energy (physical) together in infinite patterns to create energy "clicks". Once the horizontal and vertical energy is connected – your original DNA can flow through these "energy highways"
Light code body activation – Raising Vibrations – Service in person or over the phone include spoken guidance so that you may soul travel beyond the Stargate and visit your home world, sense the energy of your home world and connect with your guide. Eva will guide you as she speaks and will assist you to make a connection. Many of Eva's clients are able to experience this phenomena.
More about the attunement:
We live in an exciting time of occurring energy changes and energy transformations. Your need to develop your psychic ability or healing ability is not a coincidence, neither a whim of the moment. You may experience a strong desire, which sometimes you may not even be able to comprehend, to progress spiritually and reconnect with the unseen for a reason.
The knowledge of higher dimensions and sacred teachings is encrypted in our DNA. New frequencies are coming into our planet and affecting our everyday life. We are beginning to realize that we are not alone in the Universe and that if we can hold and vibrate Love and Light vibrations we become one with the Universe.
This attunement will assist you to fully awaken your psychic abilities that may lay dormant for now or are just awakening. After this attunement your body will go through transformations on all planes. You will experience a level of awakening of your senses and a vast increase in your intuition, and expansion of your psychic and healing abilities. You will feel a need to use and hone your natural abilities. You will be able to hold higher frequencies in your body which will assist you to connect with your guides and assist you to discover your higher purpose in your life. You will grow and progress in your earth life, in your earth body, into the higher dimensions. You may experience a sudden opening or gentle awakening of your abilities. Each of us is different, and it depends on your level of experience and readiness, how much and how rapidly you will accelerate into the higher dimensions. My guides would like to mention that each person who is intrigued to take this attunement have their own reason in doing so, and will benefit to their highest purpose. All body energy changes and activations are based on a free will, you cannot get this attunement for someone you love without their agreement or knowledge.
This activation process was channeled by Eva from her guides "The Lights of the Universe" to assist humans in occurring transformation and to progress into higher dimensions. "Lights of the Universe" are a group of guides – loving extraterrestrial beings that originate from the Pleiades, Sirius and Orion star systems. They are beings of light energy who are interested in helping us evolve to a higher dimension.
After the Attunement:
You may experience temporary discomfort as your body will go through a detoxification period both physically and spiritually. On the physical level you may experience flu like symptoms, sweating, dizziness, tiredness, diarrhea. You also may feel very thirsty so drinking lots of water will help flush unhealthy toxins out of the body. On the spiritual level waves of sadness or feelings of elevation may take turns. As the spiritual body detoxifies you may experience crying, laughing, sneezing, etc. You may also experience changes in your sleeping pattern, experiencing vivid dreams and visitations in dreams, and expansion in your psychic and healing abilities. You will also feel drawn to and start meeting people who are on the same path as you and have similar abilities and interests. You may start to dislike your old friends and may start searching for new ones – friends who will understand you. You may also become interested in a totally different occupation then the one you currently have.
How to further develop your abilities:
- Connect with your Guides and keep communicating with them.
- Practice mediations on a regular basis.
- Honor your feelings and follow your callings.
- Write a journal of your experiences. Note each different sensation, vision, noise, etc. you experience and see if there is a repeating pattern so you can learn from them and begin to understand what you are sensing/seeing/hearing, etc.
- Keep a dream journal. As soon as you wake up write down your dreams before you forget them. They may make more sense to you than you think.
- Read, research and educate yourself on topics you are passionate about. It just may be your calling:)

Revision as of 14:18, 21 November 2012
This is a list of Pokémon that includes all Pokémon that can legitimately have their Hidden Abilities.
Introduced in Generation V, Hidden Abilities are Abilities that are obtained a different way than regular ones, and are usually somewhat more difficult to get. Not all Pokémon have a Hidden Ability that differs from their regular one though, and not all Pokémon can legally have their Hidden Ability.
Pokémon with Hidden Abilities are usually not encountered in-game. Instead, they are generally found from the Pokémon Dream World. However, there are several other ways of obtaining certain Pokémon with Hidden Abilities without befriending them from the Pokémon Dream World, such as events, Pokémon Global Link promotions, and several in-game methods. As for breeding, if a female Pokémon with a Hidden Ability breeds with a male Pokémon in a compatible Egg Group, the offspring will have a 60% chance of also having the Hidden Ability; the Ability cannot be passed on if Ditto is a parent.
For this list, note that Pokémon that are obtainable through the Pokémon Global Link but do not have Hidden Abilities or evolutionary relatives (such as Castform) will not be listed. While Metapod, Flygon, Starly, and other similar Pokémon do not have a Hidden Ability that differs from the regular Ability, at least one of their evolutionary relatives do have one; therefore, they are included on this list. If only one gender is possible while the species itself can be either gender (as is the case of promotions), gender will be specified; the incapability of passing a Hidden Ability through breeding will be noted with an asterisk. Levels will also be specified if the Pokémon is obtainable at a level that is not level 10 if not obtained from a Hidden Grotto.
Generation V Pokémon cannot be found in the Pokémon Dream World except when using an account connected to Pokémon Black 2 or White 2.

Print Hut were in need of an upgrade to their website to join the fast-paced digital age! They wanted overall site improvement from performance to mobile friendliness as well as improved UX.
- Redesign current website with modern performances
- Design bespoke graphics for page header banners
- Redevelop the infrastructure for individual product quote forms
- Build site on a CMS for clients to easily manage
The Groundwork
We had been working with Print Hut for a few months prior to these discussions which meant we had a good understanding of their brand and how they worked. Their enigmatic head honcho would need a site which would adapt to his industrious needs which prompted us to look at building a solid framework which would withstand any future demands.
The Blueprint
Print Hut had access to a wealth of images and our wireframes would exemplify this with image galleries as the source of the page layouts. Our designers wanted to compliment the photos with spacious areas for text. Our graphic designer also set to work on creating large bespoke banners which would tell the story of what Print Hut was all about.
The Build
Guiding the user through the Print Hut streets towards requesting a quote was key to the crafting our developers were working on. Each product needed a specific form and building this infrastructure for specific quotes would be key to the success of the site.
The Result
We transformed the Print Hut website into a modern and unique-looking platform which has been adapting effortlessly to the site's consequent growth since going live.

At Austin Organs Inc., we promise not only that our work is of the highest standard and that our organs sound clean, clear, and distinctive, but we go an extra step to say that our instruments endure. Service-folk will happily attest to the reliability and ease of servicing most Austin installations, and that our organs, even those from the 1890's, are supported by new or equivalent replacement parts and support directly from our factory.
The tonal design of an Austin organ is deeply rooted in the English Tradition. With that said, the "American Classic" style has been a strong force in the development of what we are proud to call our own signature sound. Our tonal design concept is that an organ should be able to play music of nearly any period, bereft of the limitations imposed by constraining an organ to a single national school of tonal design. This is an idealistic approach, of course, but with this concept as a goal, we are emboldened to keep our designs versatile and eclectic. We believe that balance is absolutely key. We take particular pride in building organs with singing, warm choruses, all the voices of which have to be combined and carefully voiced so that they form a cohesive ensemble.
Mechanically, the Austin Universal Airchest design can accommodate nearly any installation limitation. The design is intuitive: chambers that might barely fit a modest two-manual design of a competitor may very well fit a rather generous three manual organ with our system. Furthermore, every new organ is built to be serviceable such that the pipework can be easily accessed for routine tuning. It is because of these considerations that organists and church committees consistently attest to the many advantages of an Austin Organ.

State-Space Approaches for Modelling Reduction of Pilot Symbol Assisted Modulation and their Impact on the Channel Estimation
This paper outlines the use of a balance truncation algorithm to design low order Infinite Impulse Response (IIR) interpolator for pilot symbol assisted modulation. A state space model is developed to optimize filter coefficients. The proposed design for the filter has a frequency response is quite stable. This approach is highly beneficial for systems employing fading channel estimation. A comparison is given for the achieved results to that with ideal case. In a world of dramatic changing technology, people need more and more requirements to communicate and get connected with each other and facilitate their life.

Blue Heron, 24 April 2017, Chamblee, GA
I spent about fifteen minutes following a blue heron around a pond near my office this morning and making video clips, which I edited in iMovie. This is the finished product.
There's been at least one, maybe multiple herons visiting the pond here for several years, but I'm not certain this is the same one I've encountered other times I took pictures or video. I believe there are at least two, maybe more, but they're never here at the same time.
Blue Heron, Chamblee, GA, 13 April 2017
Some video of a blue heron hanging out at a pond in Chamblee, GA. I was using the zoom, but I still managed to get about five or six feet away while making the video.
I'm not sure if this is the same heron I normally see here. There's a creek not far away, which is probably where it's headed at the end.
There are also ducks and geese in the pond. The geese are mainly new this year, though there has been a gaggle of them hanging around the nearby Sam's Club parking lot for a number of years. The swans have not been seen this year, so maybe these geese have taken their place for now.

Frank Langella has had an accomplished stage career and a modestly successful one in films. But while his star turn on Broadway in "Dracula" transformed him into a matinee idol for a brief period, and he has won three Tonys and worked consistently ever since, Mr. Langella never became a major film star and never achieved the kind of immortality bestowed on many of the luminaries who glide through his terrific new memoir, amusingly titled "Dropped Names."
This may have been a piece of inordinate good luck, you come to feel after dipping into the book. For Mr. Langella's encounters with a glittering roster of famous names are often shot through with a haunting sense of melancholy, a sensitive awareness of the cruel exigencies of great public acclaim, which is almost always transitory.
Raised in Bayonne, N.J., Mr. Langella was drawn to the "comforting glow" of the spotlight when his diminutive size as a sixth grader won him a walk-on as an elf in a school pageant. Soon he was closeting himself in his room, listening raptly and endlessly to John Gielgud reciting Clarence's speech from "Richard III," desperately trying to obliterate his Jersey accent.
His uncommonly eloquent book is enjoyable for the panoply of great names who turn up as his colleagues, friends and acquaintances: the roster includes Jacqueline Kennedy, Laurence Olivier, Bette Davis and Rita Hayworth. But the memoir is more notable, and moving, for its keen awareness of the harsh emotional price many performers pay to earn their turn on the stage.
As he writes, "In the less forgiving light of cold reality, I have lived my life as many actors have: available and waiting, and often in a sort of emotional wilderness, feeling alone and apart."
Mr. Langella, 74, is clearly capable of the kind of insight into his own fears and foibles that is often absent from the memoirs of celebrities, but one refreshing aspect of "Dropped Names" is its outward focus. This is a true memoir, or rather a collection of memoirs. The word has been corrupted these days to mean essentially the recounting of anything traumatic or even vaguely interesting that happened to the author, but it used to be more commonly used to describe recollections of famous figures: other people.
That's precisely how Mr. Langella employs it. The book is divided into brief, easily digestible chapters, each devoted to a single individual. The cast of characters appears, in a witty touch, "in order of disappearance," which is to say demise, beginning with Marilyn Monroe and concluding with Bunny Mellon, the 101-year-old socialite and hostess whose friendship gave Mr. Langella access to the thrilling glow of the Kennedys of Camelot during their brief, tragic reign.
That almost all of the portraits in the book are of people now dead allows Mr. Langella to write of them with a candor rare in celebrity memoirs. A natural raconteur, he seems to fit precisely Henry James's famous description of the novelist as one "on whom nothing is lost."
In 1962 Mr. Langella was a young, aspiring actor who would occasionally come home to his modest walkup on 61st Street to find an unconscious man in the building's vestibule. It was Montgomery Clift, in the terrible grip of inner demons that "caused this lovely actor to curl up in an abandoned hallway, not his own, rather than turn a corner and suffer in his empty house." Mr. Langella knew Clift lived in a town house on the next block and would help him home, once cradling Clift in his arms until he handed him over to his housekeeper.
As an 18-year-old apprentice playing in stock with Dolores del Rio, the silent-film star, Mr. Langella shows us a glimpse of a woman who sweeps from the comfort of her Rolls-Royce almost directly onto the stage, just in time for the curtain, then returns just the way she came, her presence as evanescent and magnetic as that of a ghost when the show is over.
When Mr. Langella was a Broadway star in "Dracula," he received a backstage visit from Richard Burton on the day Burton was nominated for his sixth Oscar, for "Equus." Mr. Langella had been apprised to have a bottle of Scotch on hand, and Burton proceeded to drain it, telling endless tales of past glories and the greats he had known as the hours crawled by, interspersed with long selections of Dylan Thomas's poetry.
"There sat a man approximately 52 years of age," Mr. Langella writes, "looking 10 years older, dressed in black mink, with heavily applied pancake, under a tortured, balding helmet of jet black dyed hair, grandly reciting tiresome poetry." Burton didn't win the Oscar that year, or ever, Mr. Langella sadly notes.
In his recollections of Deborah Kerr, with whom he performed on Broadway in Edward Albee's "Seascape" — and whom, he confesses, he treated rudely in his youthful egoism — he tells a similar story: of dancing together to "Shall We Dance" as she grows giddy and teary-eyed. Suddenly she blurts out that she's received six nominations, "and I never won!" (This elegant actress used a familiar expletive before the word nominations, Mr. Langella writes.)
Not all of the reminiscences are tinctured by sadness, although Mr. Langella often worked with or met great stars after the heady days of their careers had waned and their eyes seemed permanently trained on the rearview mirror. (His description of his brief affair with Hayworth during the filming of a movie late in her career, when she was already exhibiting the signs of Alzheimer's disease, is perhaps the most wrenching.)
Noël Coward is portrayed as the familiar, brilliant wit and charming seducer, whose invitation Mr. Langella declines. Mr. Langella's companionable rapport with Alan Bates, with whom he acted in "Fortune's Fool" on Broadway shortly before Bates's death, brings alive Bates's warmth and humor in bright, vivid strokes. And there are deliciously funny quotations sprinkled throughout, as when he recalls Maureen Stapleton's saying about working with Lauren Bacall, "I stay out of her way till they feed her."
Even when Mr. Langella is writing with an unusual frankness about great actors displaying their human frailties, the overriding note is one of compassion and fellow feeling. In the book's last chapter he comes to the conclusion that there are spiritual compensations for the fragile comforts of the acting life.
"The wilderness in which I wandered as a young boy, believing myself forever lost, never to reach a destination," he writes, "I have now come to believe is precisely the place to be. There is no lasting comfort, it seems to me, in the safe landing. Better to stay in flight, take the next bus, relinquish control, trust in happenstance and embrace impermanence."
Perhaps few of us would choose to walk the permanent tightrope of the actor's life, but Mr. Langella, seen on Broadway this season in "Man and Boy," continues to remain aloft, and from the intelligence and clear-sightedness he evinces in his book, he still has perfect balance too.
A critic's notebook article on Saturday about "Dropped Names," a memoir by the actor Frank Langella, referred incorrectly to one of the people he writes about. Bunny Mellon, the philanthropist and socialite, is alive; it is not the case that "all the portraits in the book are of people now dead."

ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) is an open industry specification that defines a flexible and extensible interface for computer power management and related control operations. In general, the interface enables and supports power management through improved hardware and operating system coordination. ACPI allows the operating system to control the power states of many ACPI-supported hardware components, and/or to pass information to and from some hardware components.
The ACPI Specification describes how a system vendor can use General Purpose Events (GPEs) to inform the operating system that some event occurred, such as a laptop lid being closed or a thermal alert. Typically, a hardware device issues a notification to a hardware register, which in turn surfaces the GPE event. The hardware register is represented to the operating system by a software object commonly called a "GPE block." A GPE block is a logical construct that represents a set of GPE pins on the hardware register. The hardware signals that are connected to those pins are arbitrary in nature (within some guidelines outlined by the ACPI specification). The operating system sees the GPE block as containing two register sets: one to control whether or not a particular pin is enabled, and another to determine if a particular pin is asserted. If the operating system detects that a pin is both enabled and asserted, then it runs an ACPI control method associated with the pin to handle the event. Until now, an ACPI-compliant system supported only a single GPE block. Moreover, the one supported GPE block had a fixed location in I/O space, which is a limited resource in most modern computing systems.
More specifically, the ACPI 1.0 specification provides that 0, 1, or 2 GPE hardware registers can be present in the system, with each GPE hardware register having a different I/O base address. Most operating system developers treat those GPE hardware registers as one "logical" device (the GPE block). The hardware registers that form a GPE block (in ACPI Version 1.0 parlance) share the same address space. That is, if Pin XX is defined for use by GPE0 (the 1st GPE hardware register in the ACPI 1.0 specification), then that same Pin XX cannot be used by GPE1 (the 2nd GPE hardware register in the ACPI 1.0 specification). For these reasons, operating system and computing system developers have been limited to a single logical GPE block, or two GPE hardware registers.
As modern computing systems become more complex, the limitation of one GPE block has proved to be a nuisance to the design and creation of larger computing systems having physically separated hardware components. In short, if a system vendor builds a large computer by connecting four smaller computers, and where each smaller computer has its own GPE block device, then complicated wiring would be required to represent the large computer within the ACPI namespace having only a single GPE block device. For instance, the system vendor may have run the signals from the GPE block devices in each of the smaller computers together to give the illusion that there was a single GPE block device within the large computer. The problems with that solution include that the address space defined by a GPE Block device is finite. A GPE Block can support from 0 to 256 signals. So, for a truly large computer which might have more than 256 signals, it would probably not be possible to wire up all the signals to appear to come from a single GPE block. Sharing signals is possible in some instances but impossible in others and would introduce yet more expensive circuitry to the system. Thus, until now, there has been no way to include multiple GPE block devices in a single computing system.
Briefly described, the present invention provides for multiple GPE blocks (in addition to the GPE block device defined in the ACPI Specification Version 1.0) by creating a device entry in the ACPI namespace, and using a _CRS object to describe the system resources consumed by the device. The GPE block device may then access associated hardware devices through a well known mechanism (either I/O or Memory Mapped accesses). By creating additional GPE block devices within the ACPI namespace, general purpose events may be delivered using more traditional hardware interrupt mechanisms than with existing systems (e.g., wiring GPE blocks together). Moreover, by creating GPE block devices as devices in the ACPI namespace, they may be dynamically loaded or unloaded from the namespace. In addition, the GPE block devices may be moved from one location within the namespace to another location within the namespace.
These and various other features and advantages, which characterize the present invention, will be apparent from a reading of the following detailed description in conjunction with the associated drawings.
Exemplary Operating Environment
Moreover, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the invention may be practiced with other computer system configurations, including hand-held devices, multi-processor systems, microprocessor-based or programmable consumer electronics, network PCs, minicomputers, mainframe computers and the like. The invention may also be practiced in distributed computing environments where tasks are performed by remote processing devices that are linked through a communications network. In a distributed computing environment, program modules may be located in both local and remote memory storage devices.
With reference to
The personal computer 20 may further include a hard disk drive 27 for reading from and writing to a hard disk, not shown, a magnetic disk drive 28 for reading from or writing to a removable magnetic disk 29, and an optical disk drive 30 for reading from or writing to a removable optical disk 31 such as a CD-ROM or other optical media. The hard disk drive 27, magnetic disk drive 28, and optical disk drive 30 are connected to the system bus 23 by a hard disk drive interface 32, a magnetic disk drive interface 33, and an optical drive interface 34, respectively. The drives and their associated computer-readable media provide non-volatile storage of computer readable instructions, data structures, program modules and other data for the personal computer 20. Although the exemplary environment described herein employs a hard disk, a removable magnetic disk 29 and a removable optical disk 31, it should be appreciated by those skilled in the art that other types of computer readable media which can store data that is accessible by a computer, such as magnetic cassettes, flash memory cards, digital video disks, Bernoulli cartridges, random access memories (RAMs), read-only memories (ROMs) and the like may also be used in the exemplary operating environment.

The computer 20 includes a file system 36 associated with or included within the operating system 35, such as the Windows NT� File System (NTFS), one or more application programs 37, other program modules 38 and program data 39. A user may enter commands and information into the personal computer 20 through input devices such as a keyboard 40 and pointing device 42. Other input devices (not shown) may include a microphone, joystick, game pad, satellite dish, scanner or the like. These and other input devices are often connected to the processing unit 21 through a serial port interface 46 that is coupled to the system bus, but may be connected by other interfaces, such as a parallel port, game port or universal serial bus (USB). A monitor 47 or other type of display device is also connected to the system bus 23 via an interface, such as a video adapter 48. In addition to the monitor 47, personal computers typically include other peripheral output devices (not shown), such as speakers and printers.
The personal computer 20 may operate in a networked environment using logical connections to one or more remote computers, such as a remote computer 49. The remote computer 49 may be another personal computer, a server, a router, a network PC, a peer device or other common network node, and typically includes many or all of the elements described above relative to the personal computer 20, although only a memory storage device 50 has been illustrated in
When used in a LAN networking environment, the personal computer 20 is connected to the local network 51 through a network interface or adapter 53. When used in a WAN networking environment, the personal computer 20 typically includes a modem 54 or other means for establishing communications over the wide area network 52, such as the Internet. The modem 54, which may be internal or external, is connected to the system bus 23 via the serial port interface 46. In a networked environment, program modules depicted relative to the personal computer 20, or portions thereof, may be stored in the remote memory storage device. It will be appreciated that the network connections shown are exemplary and other means of establishing a communications link between the computers may be used.
While the present invention is primarily described with respect to the Windows� 2000 operating system, those skilled in the art will appreciate that other operating systems and/or file systems may implement and benefit from the present invention.
Illustrative Configuration Management System
Referring to
Each GPE block contains a status register 80 S, 81 s and an enable register 80 E, 81 E. The hardware devices are connected (via a host bridge 84, 85) to the status registers of the GPE blocks 80, 81. Each hardware device signals general purpose events to the system by sending a power management event signal (PME#) to the status register of its associated GPE block 80, 81. The ACPI driver 64 (described below) owns the general-purpose event registers 80 S, 80 E, and other than the hardware device signaling the input pins of the Status register 80 S, 81 S, the register bits are only manipulated by the ACPI driver 64. Thus, the ACPI driver 64 manages the bits in the GPE blocks 80, 81 directly, although the source of those events is not directly known and is connected to the system by control methods.
Two GPE blocks 80, 81 are shown in
Turning to
As shown, the application programs 37 may interface with a kernel 62, which is a part of the operating system 35, generally via application programming interface (API) calls or the like. The kernel 62 can be generally considered as one or more software modules that are responsible for performing many operating system functions. One such function is passing information between the application programs 37 and the lower level components of the ACPI system 60, such as the ACPI driver 64 (described below) and various device drivers (e.g., device driver 66).
The kernel 37 also interfaces with Operating System Power Management (OSPM) system code 68. The OSPM system code 68 comprises one or more software modules that may be a part of the operating system 35 and that may be used to modify the behavior of certain components of the computer system 20, typically to conserve power in accordance with pre-configured power conservation settings. As is generally known, the various device drivers 66 interface with and generally control the hardware installed in the computer system 20. A driver communicates with other drivers and the operating system components (e.g., an I/O manager), for example in the Windows� 2000 (and Windows NT�) operating systems, by passing I/O request packets, or IRPs.
In general, the ACPI driver 64 is a module that controls the functioning of much of the ACPI system 60. The ACPI driver 64 may be supplied as part of the operating system 35 or as a separate component. In the described system, the ACPI driver 64 is loaded during system start-up at the base of a tree of devices, where it acts as an interface between the operating system 35 and the BIOS 26. The responsibilities of the ACPI driver 64 include support for plug and play (PnP) and, in keeping with the present invention as described below, power management. The ACPI driver 64 is responsible for initiating and maintaining the ACPI system 60, such as by populating an ACPI namespace 70 (represented in
The ACPI driver 64 makes use of several components when performing the functions of the ACPI system 60. One component is the ACPI BIOS 72, which refers to the portion of system firmware that is compatible with the ACPI specification. Generally stated, the ACPI BIOS 72 is part of the code that boots the machine (similar to the BIOS present in most conventional computer systems) and implements interfaces for power and configuration operations, such as sleep, wake, and some restart operations. The ACPI BIOS 72 contains definition blocks used to construct ACPI Tables 74, as is described in greater detail below. Note that although the BIOS 26 and the ACPI BIOS 72 are illustrated as separate components in
The ACPI Tables 74, generally known as Differentiated Definition Blocks (DDBs), are composed of as few as one, but may have more than one, definition block that contains data and/or control methods. The definition blocks are written in an interpreted language called ACPI Machine Language (AML), the interpretation of which is performed by an AML interpreter 76 within the ACPI driver 64. Generally, each set of data and/or control methods defines and provides access to a respective hardware device. The tables include header data structures that contain information about what the block contains, for example, whether it is a Differentiated System Description Table (DSDT) or a Secondary System Descriptor Table (SSDT). Each table (SSDT or DSDT) contains only one Definition Block. One such definition block, known as a Differentiated System Description Table (DSDT) describes the base computer system, that is, the DSDT contains a Differentiated Definition Block (DDB), which describes the root system. Often, the DSDT includes a root (or legacy) GPE block device and may include others. Alternatively, although not preferred, all or some GPE blocks may be included in SSDTs. Other definition blocks may be provided to describe additional ACPI devices, such as additional GPE block devices.
As mentioned, the definition blocks may contain control methods. A "control method" is a software module that defines how the ACPI system 60 performs a hardware-related task. For example, the ACPI system 60 may invoke a control method to read the temperature of a thermal zone, change the device power state of a modem, and so forth. Control methods are written in AML, are stored in the definition blocks within the ACPI BIOS 72, and are loaded into the ACPI namespace 70 (
In accordance with this implementation of the invention, the ACPI tables 74 include AML code to construct GPE block devices when inserted into the ACPI namespace 70, a root or legacy GPE block device and one or more additional GPE block devices. State information about the GPE blocks is stored in some data structure or memory location, for example in a device extension associated with the GPE block or even in the context field of a callback function. Where the state information is stored is a design consideration and may be implemented in any functional way.
As any additional GPE block devices that are described in the ACPI tables 74 are loaded in the ACPI namespace 70, they may be added to a global list identifying the GPE block devices. The following is one sample of ASL code that may be included in the ACPI tables and used to create an additional GPE block device:
// ASL example of a non-root GPE block
Device (\_SB.PCI0.ISA0.GPE1) {
Name (_HID, "ACPI0006")
Name (_UID, 2)
Name (_CRS, Buffer( ) {
IO (Decodel6, FC00, FC00, 1, 2,) // Status register at FC00-FC01
IO (Decodel6, FC02, FC02, 1, 2,) // Enable register at FC02-FC03

{ . . . }
Method (_E13)
{ . . . }

{ . . . }
Method (_SRS)
{ . . . }
Shown in
Several control methods may be loaded in the ACPI namespace in connection with various objects, including the methods run on detection of wakeup events in the \_GPE namespace. For example, as shown in
In accordance with this particular implementation of the present invention, the hardware register (GPE block) 80 defined in the ACPI Specification Version 1.0 is continued, and, in addition, support for multiple hardware registers is also supported. Thus, a machine vendor can add additional GPE hardware registers (e.g., more than a single GPE block) to a system and then expose those additional GPE registers to the operating system by adding them as GPE block devices to the ACPI namespace 70. When more than one GPE block is included in a computing machine, one may be identified as the traditional or legacy GPE block that is expected in accordance with the ACPI Specification Version 1.0. In this way, the operating system can identify which GPE block, if any, is required to boot the computer. That is, by keeping the ACPI Specification Version 1.0 method of describing a GPE block, the operating system guarantees that one GPE Block will always be active. This could be important in getting a system to boot. For example, the ACPI embedded controller requires a GPE block device to be loaded to execute properly, and in turn, the ACPI driver requires access to the embedded controller to properly determine the configuration of the machine.
The legacy GPE block is illustrated in
As mentioned above, ACPI tables 74 are added to define new GPE block devices having the following characteristics. First, a table associated with a device having a hardware ID that indicates the device is a GPE block is created. Typically, a table may use the _HID object to define the device's hardware ID. As is known to those skilled in the art, the _HID object is used to supply the operating system with the device's Plug and Play Hardware ID. When describing a platform, use of any _HID objects is optional. However, a _HID object must be used to describe any device that will be enumerated by the ACPI driver 64. The ACPI driver 64 only enumerates a device when no bus enumerator can detect the device ID. For example, devices on an ISA bus are enumerated by the ACPI driver. In one embodiment, the hardware ID "ACPI0006" may be used to indicate a new GPE block.
Next, the GPE block device (as defined in the ACPI tables 74) should include a _CRS object to describe which resources are used to access the GPE block, except that a single GPE block device (e.g., GPE0) omits the _CRS object to identify itself as the legacy GPE block device. To represent the GPE block associated with the FADT, a GPE block device only includes the ACPI0006 device in the tree, without any _CRS, _PRS, _SRS, or other GPE-specific methods. Any GPE block device that does not represent the legacy GPE block device contains the _Lxx, _Exx, _CRS, _PRS, or _SRS methods required for that block. To uniquely identify which GPE device is the legacy GPE block device, the operating system picks the first GPE block device having a hardware ID of ACPI0006 and without a _CRS.
The _CRS object evaluates to a byte stream that describes the system resources currently allocated to the GPE block device 91. The resource data is provided as a series of data structures, with each of the resource data structures having a unique tag or identifier. The resource descriptor data structures specify the standard PC system resources, such as memory address ranges, I/O ports, interrupts, and DMA channels.
A device having the above description may be used to specify a GPE block to handle hardware-surfaced events. For instance, optional methods can be added under the GPE block device 91 to handle different hardware-surfaced events. In the described example, the method _L12 may be used to handle a level-triggered event generated by the keyboard. Similarly, the method _E13 may be used to handle an edge-triggered event surfaced by the mouse. Any number or combination of methods may be used in accordance with the teachings of the present invention.
Also, optionally, a _PRS object may be used to specify the GPE block device's 91 possible resource settings, and a _SRS control method to set the device's settings to those possible resource settings. In this way, the GPE block device 91 may be programmed to resource settings other than the original resource settings.
The GPE block devices described in the context of the present invention each have their own unique address space, unlike the GPE hardware registers described in the ACPI 1.0 Specification. Thus, in accordance with the invention, if Pin XX is used by one GPE block, that Pin XX could also be used by another GPE Block in the system (including those as defined in the ACPI 1.0 Specification).
The benefits realized by the present invention are many. For example, the present invention allows multiple GPE Blocks to be present within a computer, which has, before now, not been possible. In addition, the present invention allows GPE block devices to use Memory Mapped accesses, which were not supported in the ACPI 1.0 Specification. Since I/O address space is more limited then the Memory Address space, particularly in large machines, this makes it easier to design such a system. In addition, more standard interrupt mechanisms may be used to surface signals generated by hardware components because the present invention eliminates the need for complex wiring to represent multiple GPE blocks as a single hardware device to the ACPI system. And moreover, the present invention allows the GPE block device to be relocatable in memory. This gives the operating system the flexibility of placing the GPE Block Device at some address that maximizes system resource availability.
At block 94, the ACPI system loads the ACPI tables that include differentiated definition blocks defining the several ACPI-compliant components of the computing system. Loading those ACPI tables causes the ACPI driver to begin the enumeration of the devices in the ACPI Namespace. At block 95, the ACPI driver begins to build ACPI device extensions for the ACPI namespace objects that were enumerated at block 94.
At decision block 96, a determination is made whether a current ACPI device is a GPE block device. If not, the process returns to block 95 until a device extension indicating a GPE block device is encountered. At that point, the process proceeds to decision block 97, where a determination is made whether the GPE block device contains a "_CRS" object. The absence of that object indicates that the GPE block is the root GPE block, and, therefore, at block 98, the device extension created for that device is replaced with the one pointed to by the RootGPEExtension. The replaced device extension can safely be destroyed. Finally, at block 99, the device extension for the current GPE block device is added to the GPE List. The process then terminates.
The above specification, examples and data provide a complete description of the manufacture and use of the composition of the invention. Since many embodiments of the invention can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, the invention resides in the claims hereinafter appended.
