Chocolate donuts with crushed Oreo cookies baked right in, then topped with a vanilla glaze and more Oreos. For the kid in all of us.
Sometimes, there's nothing better than an Oreo. Well, except for when you take a bunch of Oreos, crush them up, and put them inside chocolate donuts.
And then top those donuts with a thick vanilla frosting and more crushed Oreos.
Are you drooling yet?
When I was little, Rebe and I loved to watch The Parent Trap. In fact, in the years following its debut, I was constantly told that I looked like Lindsay Lohan. In fact, I got told I looked like Lindsay Lohan all the way through college. But by then, every single person would follow up with "but, I mean, before she became a drug addict and all."
In fact, one time I was out in Brazil and a group of Brazilians thought I was Lindsay Lohan. They proceeded to call me "Leensee" the whole night and took pictures with me.
Tangent. Onto the real story.
So Rebe and I loved to watch The Parent Trap. And there's that one scene where American Lindsay gives English Lindsay an Oreo. And English Lindsay says how she normally eats them with peanut butter. And then American Lindsay is like "So do I!"
So the second we saw this scene Rebe and I were all about trying this mysterious combo. And from then on, we were obsessed. We would eat Oreos and peanut butter almost every night.
Now, I know there is no peanut butter in this recipe. Rather, I am telling the story of my love affair with Oreos. They're just perfect. I love theeem.
And because I can't recreate Oreos nearly as well as the original recipe, I prefer to find fun ways to bake with them. Case in point: these magnificent donuts.
They're soft, yet dense enough from the crushed Oreos to create an almost cakey brownie texture. The glaze has a small amount of cream cheese, which gives it a great tang and offsets the chocolate beautifully. And there are Oreos both in and on top of the donut.
Though donuts are typically a breakfast food, these are too good not to be eaten at all times of day. In fact, I had one for dessert last night.
And because we don't want to be too gluttonous, these Oreo donuts are baked, not fried! So they weigh in at a remarkable 130 calories each, before being topped with the vanilla glaze. OK, now it can't get any better.
Oreo Donuts
For the donuts
- 3/4 cup flour
- 1/3 cup cocoa powder
- 1/3 cup light brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons vinegar, white or cider
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 oreos, crushed finely
- donut pan
For the frosting
- 1 ounce cream cheese, softened
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 oreos, crushed finely, for sprinkling
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a standard sized donut pan and set aside.
- In a large bowl, mix together flour, cocoa powder, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk egg, milk, vegetable oil, vinegar, and vanilla extract. Add the wet ingredients to the dry, whisking to combine. Gently fold in the crushed Oreos.
- Transfer mixture into a pastry bag or large ziplock with a hole cut into the corner. Pipe batter into donut molds, filling ⅔ of the way up the molds. Bake for 10 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the donut comes out clean. Allow to cool 10 minutes before frosting.
- While the donuts are cooling, make the frosting. Combine all ingredients in a small bowl, whisking until smooth. The consistency should be thick but still thin enough to form ribbons when you scoop it from the bowl and back down. Dip each donut into the frosting and top with more crushed Oreos. Devour.

Dear SOAP-JMS Editors, Could it be possible to allow EXI characterisation (see http://www.w3.org/TR/exi/) in the message body §2.4 as well ? Using EXI makes sense in a JMS context for any mission critical system where latency has to be kept at a the minimum. EXI would also help a lot : - keeping XML processing CPU overhead low (message inspection for active routing for instance) - handling & streaming of huge attachement (base64bin saved as octet binary set for instance) - etc Regards, JB BUGEAUDReceived on Tuesday, 9 November 2010 10:53:39 UTC

The San Francisco mayor's race clearly needs Ed Lee. Not necessarily because he's the best man for the job — you can make up your own mind about that — but to inject a much-needed dose of energy.
C.W. Nevius San Francisco Chronicle
Thursday night's "forum" among six candidates was such a snooze that even the participants admitted that they all sounded pretty much the same.
"We do sound similar at times," said Michela Alioto-Pier, "and tonight we sound very similar."
Moderator Phil Matier finally asked what it would take to change the tone in a race where ranked-choice voting makes everyone try to be as nice and non-confrontational as possible.
"Just wait until Ed Lee gets here," interjected Joanna Rees.
It was a stripped-down event, which was odd since candidate Tony Hall was miffed that he wasn't invited. State Sen. Leland Yee was invited but did not attend. Supervisor John Avalos was expected, but was a no-show. He said he was never contacted for an invite.
That left six participants: City Attorney Dennis Herrera, Alioto-Pier, Rees, Board of Supervisors President David Chiu, Assessor Phil Ting and Bevan Dufty.
Frankly, getting sparks out of that group isn't easy. It's not that they are dull personally, but they don't have many areas of disagreement.
But they also went out of their way to accommodate each other. When offered a chance to ask questions to each other, the group avoided zingers and lobbed up mostly softballs.
The Lee candidacy loomed over the event and not just because the organizers, the police and fire unions, unaccountably put an "Ed Lee" place card on the table. Did they really think he was going to show up before he announced?
There were some amusing takes on his entrance in the race, including the nicely snarky comment by Rees, "If he wants to go back on his word, fine. Instead of running against eight City Hall insiders, make it nine."
And then there was Dufty who cryptically offered that "the entrance of Mayor Lee liberates me somewhat." He certainly seemed liberated, sounding loose, relaxed, and funny.
Dufty had the line of the night when the candidates were asked what question they would like to ask Lee.
"Can I be your number two?" Dufty said.

Find information about Del Mar College summer session, registering in a technical training program, and taking free practice tests online. Which college degrees give you the best chances of finding employment after graduation? Some students select a major because it may be valuable in the workplace. Other students choose their major simply because they enjoy the subject material. As the Del Mar College admissions office has to analyze many applications, your goal is to stand out in a good way. Admissions application dates vary for summer session students, so check your application status with the admission's office to request a list of major requirements, and an updated schedule of summer classes. You should apply to several schools as back-up choices, as well as more competitive first-tier colleges. Placement testing as well as information concerning summer session dates may be posted on the student services website.
Admissions officers seek to learn how a given applicant thinks, and what kind of person they are. The most popular college major is business administration, split evenly between men and women. On the other hand, men make up the majority of computer science and engineering majors. For women, the fields of education, English and liberal arts dominate the list. If you choose, online education gives you the opportunity to take difficult courses that won't show up on your transcript. Alternatively, you may be able to complete online credits for a grade. Every class is recorded and stored on a remote server, allowing students to replay difficult sections as many times as needed.
Online Courses - MOOCs
Technical training programs are a low-cost alternative to attending a regular four-year university, and you can earn good money as a highly-skilled, technical specialist. By taking some of your required degree courses online, you may be able to graduate a semester early, thus saving money on tuition. If you're currently employed, you can take online courses in your free time to advance your career. Massive Open Online Courses are known as MOOCs, utilizing interactive platforms such as Blackboard, and mobile apps. Udemy is a startup with backing from the founders of Groupon. Similarly, Khan Academy now offers free lecture videos served through YouTube. Then there's Coursera, a competing software platform, with millions of enrolled students from around the world. Finally, MIT announced that their open courseware platform (OCW) will be available at no cost.
Online Tests - Free Practice!This section offers practice tests in several engineering subject areas. Each of the following multiple-choice tests has 10 questions to work on. No sign-up required, just straight to the test.
Admissions ProcessMost colleges accept either the SAT or ACT, and have formulas for converting raw test scores. Colleges use these standardized tests because there are substantial differences in curricula, grading, and difficulty among US high schools. SAT test questions can be trickier and harder to decipher, while ACT questions are longer on average. On average, over half of students retaking the SAT saw improvements in their scores. Further, Advanced Placement exams are offered in a variety of physical sciences, offering you college credit for honors-level classes that you have taken while still in high school. Test yourself with practice exams online, before visiting the College Board website to register to take your actual AP Tests.
Public universities are more likely to evaluate applicants based on grades and test scores alone, while private universities tend to be more holistic. High school grades are the most important factor in gaining admission to the college of your choice. An ideal academic record is one of increasingly better grades, in courses of progressive difficulty. About half of colleges use a waiting list, and many community colleges have agreements with four-year universities, so that the transfer of credits is ensured.
Financial Aid InformationGovernment scholarships and grants, combined with private scholarships, only account for a third of total college aid. Loans, earnings, and savings make up the remaining two-thirds. It costs nothing to apply for financial aid, so just do it. In fact, millions of students that would have qualified for some financial aid were late in submitting required forms, so they were passed over. The official FAFSA website is www.fafsa.ed.gov and is free. The earliest that the FAFSA form can be filled out is January of a student's senior year.
Academic scholarships are highly competitive, and are usually awarded either by the admissions office, or individual academic departments. Most private loan programs are tied to one or more financial indexes, such as the BBA LIBOR Rate, plus an overhead charge. Federal Direct Student Loans are funded by the US Treasury. Alternatively, student credit cards may seem like a good short-term solution, but the interest rates are high, and credit cards often carry an annual fee. FastWeb.com is one of the leading scholarship services online. Some scholarships have a bond requirement. Recipients may be required to work for a specified period of time or to work in rural or remote areas.

Re: Heroin addiction vs. FAS
I have not yet cared for a baby with FAE but I did have a little girl from birth that was heavily exposed to Heroin the first half of the pregnancy then the drug Methadone (to treat Heroin addiction) the latter half. She spent the first 6 wks of her life in withdrawal in a hospital - using Morphine. It went well.
At a year old now I can say she's a very happy baby developing normally, however she is very intense - in everything she does. She's intensly happy, intensly sad and intensly angry. I've never seen a baby so angry (she's been that way since birth). I have taken care of many babies in my lifetime and she is definitely drug affected. I think she will be okay, with the right parenting, but she could prove to be difficult to raise (just my guess). I am still in her life and always will be so it will be interesting to see how she does as she gets older.
She is very lovable - just super intense with everything.

Re: Heroin addiction vs. FAS
We're foster and adoptive parents and from our experience the children with prenatal drug exposure do MUCH better than the ones with FAS. Actually, none of our drug affected children have really been affected long-term and most didn't even have the typical withdrawl symptoms either. FAS causes brain damage and life long issues.
I have no doubt in my mind that my oldest 2 children have FAE (fetal alcohol effects). We couldn't get a formal diagnosis because we don't have proof that birth mom drank during pregnancy. But they both have all of the facial features, ADHD and one of them has learning disabilities. And life is pretty challenging because my kids struggle with boundaries, social skills, they are gullible and just "don't get it" a lot of the time.
But I also want to say that even if a child doesn't have the clear cut symtoms of FAS doesn't mean they weren't exposed to alcohol and may have some permanent damage. We've been to conferences on FAS/FAE and they have said MANY more people are affected than we'll ever know. NO amount of alcohol is safe in pregnancy. It only takes one binge drinking episode before a woman even realizes she's pregnant to cause damage. And-if a person is using heroin or other drugs, the chances of them using alcohol with them is probably pretty high.

Re: Heroin addiction vs. FAS
Does anyone know anything specific about cocaine/crack use age in pregnancy? Especially early on - like in the first 3 months? Just an adoption situation I read about and wanted to know what you ladies knew? Also, how does marijuana use affect the fetus? Just thinking ahead to when we have to fill out our adoption profile (even if it's month's down the road)...How does smoking affect the infant and later in life? Thanks for your input...I guess I may be yet again hi-jacking someone else's post, but it's good info. here...you ladies are so knowledgeable!

Re: Heroin addiction vs. FAS
I am certainly not a doctor but according to my research:
We were totally ok with marijuana use. From merck.com
Whether use of marijuana during pregnancy can harm the fetus is unclear. The main component of marijuana, tetrahydrocannabinol, can cross the placenta and thus may affect the fetus. However, marijuana does not appear to increase the risk of birth defects or to slow the growth of the fetus. Marijuana does not cause behavioral problems in the newborn unless it is used heavily during pregnancy.
From my research, they are now finding that all the "crack babies" we heard about in the 80's and 90's had symptoms that continued throughout their lives because the children stayed in bad environments which would have affected their development whether or not their mother used crack/cocaine during pregnancy. On our application, we said that we would discuss this issue, as well as meth use, "as needed".
There may be some more qualified mamas on here who can help more but wanted to share my experience.

Commissioner Roger Goodell will be a "busy" man during the 2010 NFL Annual Meeting this week
I still cannot fathom how anyone can think that nothing goes on in the National Football League after the Super Bowl and before the regular season begins in September. Sure there is not any on-field game action after the Super Bowl, but everyone always needs to remember, "The NFL Never Sleeps". To accentuate that point, every fan should have their eyes focused on Orlando, Florida – of all places — this week. No there will not be more Super Bowl champion New Orleans Saints players celebrating at Disney World. The event that will take center stage is the 2010 NFL Annual Meeting from March 21st to March 24th.
The annual league meeting, which is basically a three-day conference for NFL powerbrokers, definitely deserves attention. As "hot" topics from possible competition rule changes to labor relations to overtime rules will be all discussed in great detail. The headliner at the annual league meeting will be NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, who will address the owners on Monday morning with the state of the league and most importantly you can expect him to be talking about labor relations between the NFL and its players.
Even though the owners and players are definitely not seeing eye-to-eye right now on several items, specifically a player payout of 60% of revenues according to the owners. Hopefully Goodell and DeMaurice Smith, head of the NFL Players' Association, can hammer out a new deal for "the good of game" before the current CBA expires in March 2011. Fox Sports analyst Jimmy Johnson was right when he said of a possible lockout in 2011, "I think there's too much money at stake. Everybody involved, owners, players, everybody understands it's in everybody's best interest to get a new CBA done".
Other topics that are sure to be discussed in hotel board rooms and lobby are listed below. But remember, any vote needs at least 24 of the 32 NFL owners to be in agreement.
Sudden Death Rules – Ever since the New Orleans Saints defeated the Minnesota Vikings 31-28 in overtime of the 2009 NFC Championship Game. With the game-winning points coming via a field goal on the Saints' first possession after winning the coin toss, everyone wants to talk OT. "In the last four or five years, sometimes we have not proposed anything [to change the overtime format] because we've thought, 'Well, if it's not going to get enough votes, let's not propose it,' " Atlanta Falcons president McKay said during a conference call with reporters. "This year I think we came back with the idea that we need to go back and look at it because the statistics are so compelling and we need to get the discussion going again."
According to McKay, between 1974 and 1993 the team that won the overtime coin toss won the game 46.8 percent of the time, and the team that lost the coin toss won the game 46.8 percent of the time. Since 1994, McKay said, the team that won the overtime coin toss won the game 59.8 percent of the time, while the team that lost the coin toss won the game only 38.5 percent of the time. Of course the competition committee is blaming the increase in coin-toss teams winning in OT on my "favorite" players, field goal kickers, saying are more accurate than ever — made 84.5% of overall field goal attempts in '08..
Here is the new overtime plan that will need to be discussed:
- Proposing a rule on the modification of the sudden death procedure in overtime for the playoffs, and Super Bowl, but not the regular season. There will be an opportunity to possess in the event the first team with the ball does not score a touchdown.
- The club that gets the opening possession of overtime could win the game by scoring a touchdown. If that team gets a field goal, the other club would get a possession and would have a chance to win with a touchdown or tie with a field goal. If that team gets a tying field goal, the game would be sudden death from then on. If neither team scores on its first possession of overtime, the game would proceed on a sudden-death basis.
Player safety rules – The league owners are going to discuss a number of recommendations and rules proposals around "protecting" players. The main rules that will surely cause the most discussion will probably be around protecting a defenseless player.
a) More rules for protecting "defenseless" receivers — Giving additional protection to the receiver even after the receiver has caught the ball. Possible rule change could protect the receiver until he has an opportunity to defend himself from hits to the head by defenders launching upwards towards his head.
b) Long Snappers protected — Protecting long snappers more on field goal tries and punts. Proposing that no one can line up within the frame of the body of the snapper to try to give him an opportunity to get his head up and get himself protected.
c) No Helmet Rule — Proposing a rule that creates the ball being dead if a runner loses or has his helmet come off during a play, which is a college rule they've had and used. The league watched tape where there are instances where players are running in the field of play without their helmet. In our mind their mind it was not a safe situation.
d) Possibly more unnecessary roughness legislation – Not only the defenseless player legislation will be looked at, the league is looking into other in-game unnecessary roughness situations. I have heard as many as possibly seven other playing rules. Some of them are smaller and others will be based on last year's play.
e) Ball hitting a scoreboard revisited — One bigger rule that will be looked at further is the 2009 "dead" ball rules established last year after the Cowboys Stadium pre-season punting situation. In case you didn't know, the Cowboys have a huge scoreboard that is 90 Feet above the playing field that was hit in warm-ups and during a preseason game. So before the start of the 2009 Regular season "Dead Ball" rules were put in place, but luckily during the regular season no punts hit the score board.
f) Dead ball fouls to be looked into — On the offense, currently dead ball fouls do not have the ability to carry over to the second half and/or overtime from the fourth quarter – See Flozelle Adams' incident from 2009 where he was able to play in the 2nd half even after some mischief before halftime. The league is proposing that those could be carried over on offense and defense too.
g) Instant replay on last play – The league is proposing a rule a rule change for instant replay with respect to the game clock on the last play. This was put in for the 2009 playoffs and the NFL wants to review the rule and possibly clean it up.
Windows and Curtains to be discussed – With newer stadiums like the ones in Dallas and Indianapolis having retractable roofs, windows, and curtains, the league wants to talk about how to handle stadium configuration (i.e. Interior Design). The NFL wants to standardize all that language to match up with the retractable roof policy already in place. So home teams with windows and curtains will need to declare in their game configuration 90 minutes before the start of play.
Possible new numbers for defenders –The league will look at the rule on player uniform numbering systems to possibly expand the opportunity for players to wear different numbers. The NFL seems to be acknowledging the fact that more teams are playing a 3-4 defense and you can have players who end up being both defensive ends and linebackers (ex. Philadelphia Eagles DE/OLB Trent Cole wears No. 58). However the NFL better look out as their league may soon look like college football, where defensive players can wear more creative numbers –- Former Miami Hurricanes linebacker Jessie Armstead wearing No. 1 in college for the "U". And who could not remember the ill-fated fight by Brian "The Boz" Bosworth trying to wear his fabled Oklahoma No. 44 in the NFL for the Seattle Seahawks.
More rules to the 10-second rule – The current 10‑second runoff situation via instant replay will be discussed. Inside the last minute when a call on the field is reviewed and reversed and there should be a running clock, the league wants to standardize a 10‑second runoff.
Fans can also expect at the 2010 league meeting, positions on the Competition Committee to be filled and more discussion around NFL bylaws and resolutions plus announcements of some high-profile early-season games.

A very disappointing turnout numerically especially as Mikael D'Haguenet was engaged to run here yesterday. VOLER LA VEDETTE finished third behind Hurricane Fly and Solwhit in this a year ago with Mourad just behind. She has proved herself at every level winning eleven races to date and made a very nice comeback in a Grade 2 at Navan. Mourad undoubtedly improved as the season progressed though his best form has come over slightly further and Colm Murphy's mare could just do him for pace. The Real Article has won a pair of Grade 2's over the minimum trip recently and though meeting much better opposition it's possible he could be even better over today's extra half-mile. County Hurdle winner Final Approach is sure to win good races this season but this looks just too tough.
Final Approach (10-3) 5th of 10, 10l behind Thousand Stars (10-7) at Auteuil(FR) 3m 1f hdl G1 (1) sft in Jun.
Mikael D'haguenet (FR) 7-4fav (11-5) Settled behind leaders, 5th halfway, headway in close 4th 3 out, soon challenged, ridden and disputed approaching 2 out where slight mistake, no extra in 2nd before last, kept on same pace, lost 2nd run-in, 3rd of 8, 7l behind Voler La Vedette (11-3) at Navan 2m 4f hdl G2 (1) in Nov.
Mourad (IRE) (10-7) 4th of 10, 8l behind Thousand Stars (10-7) at Auteuil(FR) 3m 1f hdl G1 (1) sft in Jun.
The Real Article (IRE) 5-4fav (11-8) Tracked leaders in 3rd, slight mistake 4 out, pushed along in close 4th 2 out, ridden to challenge between horses last, kept on well under pressure to lead closing stages, won at Down Royal 2m hdl G2 (1) sft in Nov beating Kalann (10-13) by 1 1/4l, 5 ran.
Voler La Vedette (IRE) 2-1 (11-3) Held up in rear, headway into close 3rd entering straight, challenged after 3 out, led approaching 2 out, asserted before last, pushed out run-in, comfortably, won at Navan 2m 4f hdl G2 (1) in Nov beating Fully Funded (11-7) by 3 1/2l, 8 ran.

note Jenda
If the block does not have a statement it belongs to then of course the opening curly will be the first and only thing on a line. Which is yet another reason not to put the ones that do belong to a statement on the beginning of a line. I'd rather know whether something is the body of a loop or other control structure or a bare block introduced to limit the scope of some variables. And if I ever need to comment out the whole block, I'll need to comment out the statement as well.

As for statements broken into multiple lines ... you may use different level of identation. Say two spaces for multiline statements and four for blocks. I do not find the need, I do not write that many multiline statements, those I do usually do not start with statements that have a block, and if they do I'll indent them somewhat line this:
  while (some very very complex condition ) { ... ... }

Advancing Web Authoring and App Development
by Antoine Quint
Related link: http://www.w3.org/2004/04/webapps-cdf-ws/
The W3C is organizing a workshop on Web Applications and Compount Documents. Some of you may breathe loudly in relief and think "finally!" and some of you may well just wonder what the hell this is for!
This workshop is about two individual topics that could benefit from a general thought process from interested parties in the community. As you probably know, the W3C has recommended quite a few bitching specifications aiming at solving different problematics for authoring contents for the World Wide Web which quite rapidly also became building blocks for developing Web Applications: HTML then XHTML, SMIL, SVG, XForms, etc. Add to this specs like CSS, XSLT, XML Schemas, XBL, etc.
Ideally, all these specifications, with the help of their XML foundations, were leaving the door open for mutual integration with the concept of namespaces which should let you solve multiple document authoring problematics with the right technology all within a single document. This works pretty well when a mixed-namespace document is consumed by a processor that will probably not render the document and only look up the XML structure and data.
However, in practice, it has been found that the rules for integration were often under-defined if defined at all in the context of rendering this type of document, say when a human being opens the said document in a web browser. For instance, how can you reconcile different rendering models, event flows, etc? This all is made more difficult by the hope that all this negociation should be done in a magical, transparent manner to the consumer of the document.
Another issue too is that when authors find a way to hack up the right bits and bolts into one document, they probably take different approaches to the development of a Web Application, and maybe it would be desirable to have a common framework or approach. I won't list more issues here as there are really quite a few of them and I'm sure that a lot of you here have enough background in authoring both documents and applications for the WWW to know most of these.
So this workshop is a good opportunity to get the ball rolling and defining the real hot topics and use cases and ultimately the requirements and maybe even W3C recommendations for what the XML-on-the-client Web should turn out to be. Better still, you get the chance to share your views as this workshop is open to the public. Time to speak up and make a valuable contribution from your valuable experience.
Does it sound like the right time for such a workshop? Do you think the W3C can/should help in these matters?

Author's Note: In the show we see Charon as something of a grumpy disgusting thing, but to be honest neither Hercules nor Xena are very kind to him. He also appears to have the same taste in songs as Iolaus, so I was wondering what would happen when Iolaus' son met Charon. The name of his son is as far as I know not known, and I therfore picked what I found suitable.
Warning: The warning is placed here for vinsmouse, who wanted a spew warning here, claiming it might be a bad idea to drink while reading the funnier parts. So please keep in mind that drinking any kind of beverage while reading this, might be hazzard'ous to the health of your screen.
Disclaimer: I do not own Hercules the Legendary Journey, I make no money and boy does that make it hard to keep the computer with power… No permanent harm will come to Iolaus but a bit of Alcmene's attention and a big bowl of chicken soup might not be amiss at the end of it… In this case the river Styx will likely remain unafected...
Will You Be My Friend?
Aelus paused as he entered the cave, he had been scared up to that point, very scared. The last thing he remembered was being sick and in his father's arms. There had been a sickness in the village and he had known it was a bad one. One of his friends had died at the very start and his father had tried to comfort him by assuring him that Hades was not a bad God. He had made the Elysian fields so that the children would be happy.
Then several others died, old mostly, and children and he had known that if you got sick you probably would die, so when he first started feeling like he was ill he cried. He had cried and had tried to keep it from his father but he had known. He had never been able to keep anything from his father. He had picked him up, wrapped him in a blanket and then had taken him to the healer.
His father wouldn't leave him after that, not for anything and even though he was sick he felt comforted if just a little miserable. No one could fight like his father, he had seen him fight bad men in the village, he could fight better than anyone, well, except uncle Hercules, maybe.
After all his father was Hercules' best friend, he was Iolaus the hero, and he could do anything, Aelus was sure of that.
He hadn't really been scared until he realized his father was sick too. Then he was scared that maybe his father would die. He didn't think much about dying himself, because if his father died he'd rather be dead too he thought. He didn't remember his mother very much, she had died when his little brother was born. It was an awful long time ago, he remembered his little brother, a little. He had lived almost a year and he had loved him a lot. Mostly he remembered how sad his father had been and how he had wished then that he could do something, just anything to make the sadness go away.
It had been strange with them trying to comfort each other and he had been worried he wasn't really helping his father at all. For a long time it seemed like his father was always tired and always sad, though never really so that Aelus saw it. It was just when he came into the forge or the house really quiet like that he could see his father with tears on his cheeks.
He had asked his uncle about it, if there was anything he could do. Uncle Hercules knew everything and he always seemed to be able to make his father smile, only not always just then. He had been worried he was the one who made his father sad so he had asked his uncle if he could stay with them so his dad could be happy again.
It was the only time he had seen his uncle weep.
Uncle Hercules had explained it all to him, and he had said that right then nothing in the whole world meant more to his father than he did. Uncle Hercules was good at explaining things like that, and it had helped him to understand.
That night he had waited until his dad was asleep, then he had gone to his bed and crawled in beside him, even if he was really way too big to do that. Uncle Hercules was right though, the closer he stayed to his father the less sad he seemed to be.
That was why he was sad now, because he had had to go and his father had not. He didn't want his father to die, but he didn't want him to be sad either.
He hadn't really been scared when he realized he was dying, that he was dead, because then he still felt his father's arms around him. He had felt the awful heat and he had known that for his father to be that hot he was sick too, very sick. He had wished that his grandmother was there, Alcmene wasn't really his grandmother, but she said she was in every way that counted. She knew what to do when someone was sick and she always seemed to make you better really quick. She had done it with him and he had seen her make his dad better to. Though he always complained about the teas he had to drink.
He had thought for a while that maybe they would both die, but now he was here all alone and he was a little scared. Not very much, after all, he still wanted his dad to be proud of him.
Slowly walking forward he suddenly stopped in surprise. He could hear a man singing and it was a song he had heard his dad sing many times. Uncle Hercules kept telling him it wasn't a good song for him to hear, so his dad never really sang it for him, he just did it at times without realizing it and since Aelus liked hearing it he never told him. Uncle Hercules said it was bawdy, it was about a girl who could drink it all in one go, though he wasn't sure what that meant. That was the bad thing when you weren't supposed to hear something, you couldn't really ask about it.
He listened carefully, wondering if his father had died after all, but it didn't sound quite like him. It was the same song, but not his voice and he was sure he'd know his father's voice, even if they were both dead.
Then as he walked closer he saw a small man, he looked a little scary at first, with a dark hood and his face all white and funny. His hand looked funny too, but he knew about soldiers who were hurt in the wars, they could look funny and scary like that but his dad had told him they were still mostly good men. There were some who weren't good, but they probably had never been good to start with.
"Hi," he stated shyly as he approached him.
"Hmm, what you doing sneaking up on a fellow like that?" the man snorted. ¨
"Sorry," he apologized. "I didn't mean to, but it's a little scary here."
"Hmm, I don't know about that," he shook his head. "I suppose you want to cross? Everyone wants to cross, don't they?" he chuckled and he nodded.
"Yeah, I guess I had better. I kinda think I died," he admitted.
"Oh, you died alright, if you're here you died," he grinned. "What did you do kid? Muck about with something, huh?"
"No, I got sick, dad too, but I don't think he's dead yet," he added hopefully. "I hope not, but if I am I guess I had better cross, if it wouldn't be too much trouble?"
"Do you have the fare?" Charon asked, a little confused by a child who didn't appear to be scared of him.
"Yeah," he held out the coins that had been in his hand. Idly he wondered if it was Uncle Hercules or his grandmother who had seen to it. His dad was so sick he wondered if he had been able to, but then his dad had never cared about how tired he was when Aelus needed something so maybe he had anyway. It made him feel warm inside to think that even now his father was helping him. He shuddered a little though, for as Charon reached to pluck the coins from his small hand he felt how cold his larger hand was.
"Who makes you work here?" he wanted to know. "Dad says Hades is the God of the other side, does he make you work here?"
"Of course he does, who'd you think did it, Aphrodite?" he demanded in mirth.
"I think he's a silly God," Aelus decided. "Can't he give you mittens? Your hands are cold, dad always makes me wear mittens if it's cold, are you much cold?"
"What, mittens, why?" Charon frowned. "What are you talking about kid?"
"I was just worried you were cold," he explained with an open and concerned expression that nearly made the boatman take a step back.
"You're dead, you're not supposed to be worried if I'm cold," Charon told him firmly. "What are you worrying about it anyway? Most kids are only worried I'll eat them or something. That's all they've got to think about Charon, he's ugly so he got to eat kids."
"That's silly," Aelus giggled. "You're not ugly, dad says a hydra is ugly and you look nothing like a hydra."
"And your dad has seen a hydra, huh?" he snorted. "Who is he anyway, Hercules?" he laughed at his own joke as they got into the boat.
"No," Aelus giggled. "That's Uncle Hercules, dad is his best friend, Iolaus. He's a hero," he added proudly.
"Your uncle is Hercules?" Charon was taken aback, he knew Hercules, and he knew Iolaus, it was hard to forget a man who'd crossed only to then un-cross. He wasn't sure what else to call it. Zeus had turned back time because Hercules demanded it, and Iolaus had no longer been dead, or something like that. It had all been so very confusing and annoying, and this was apparently his kid. Well, he wasn't sure if he was surprised. The kid wasn't like any other kid he had met, but then his father was a little unusual to. Rather, very unusual.
"Yeah," Aelus nodded. "But not many believe it," he added with a sad sigh. "They say I tell fibs, but I don't. Dad says it's very important that you never fib."
"Yeah, I guess it is," it was not something the ferryman ever had to think about, but for some reason he didn't want to disappoint the kid. Normally he didn't like children, they wept and wailed the whole time. This one was sad, but had the heart of a brave man, of a hero.
"Well, you're going to a better place now kid," he promised him. "Hades is gonna put you in the Elysian fields for sure, it's a nice place there."
"I guess, it'll be nice to see mom again, and my baby brother, but I hope I get to have some friends too," he decided.
"You'll have friends kid," Charon stated firmly, quick kid like that was bound to make friends.
"Yeah, I think I got one already," Aelus giggled.
"Who?" that took him by surprise.
"You, unless you don't want to be my friend?" he added worriedly.
"You're going to the Elysian fields," Charon snorted. "Why'd you want to be friends with me for?" No one had ever wanted to before. Hades was okay for a boss, but he sure was no friend, and no one he had ever taken across before had wanted to be his friend, some loathed him, some were scared of him and others just wanted to brag about what great warriors they had been. No one was ever friendly. He had long since figured out that he'd spend all his time doing his job and nothing else.
"Why wouldn't I want to be your friend?" Aelus wanted to know. "Hey, I can even teach you the rest of the song you were singing, please?"
"That's not a song for a kid, how'd you know it?" he demanded, pausing on the oar for a moment.
"My dad sings songs like that all the time, when he thinks I don't hear," he smiled triumphantly. "I know it, and I can teach it to you." To prove his point he started singing and Charon had to smile. A bawdy soldiers song sung in the clear ringing voice of an innocent child, now that was something you didn't hear every day.
"Sure kid, I'll be your friend," he grinned. The kid wouldn't remember it, not once he sat foot in the Elysian Fields. Yet it would be nice to imagine even for a moment that he would have someone who came to see him, who liked him.
"Great," the kid shone up. "I'm Aelus."
"Charon," he held out his hand, and was surprised when Aelus grasped his forearm in a warrior's handshake. The kid had spunk, lots of it. Then again, if he was the son of Iolaus he shouldn't be surprised.
By the time they had crossed the kid had told him all about his father, had admitted how scared he was that his father would die too, and bragged about all his adventures. Charon had to his own surprised assured him that he didn't think his father would die. Iolaus was a strong man, it wasn't very likely. He was a hero of the kind that the world needed yet, and the pride in Aelus eyes when he spoke of him had been amazing.
As dark and gloomy as the river was his smile had really lit it up, and before he left he'd shook his hand again and promised to be back and see him soon.
Charon tried not to think too much about that. He had a job to do, and no time to indulge himself in such nonsense as friendship with a kid. No, the kid, Aelus would forget about it as soon as he saw his mother in the Elysian Fields, he'd make friends there and run around playing, and Charon would feel better knowing it.
Time didn't have much meaning to him, all he did was waiting for the customers, then ferry them over and wait for the next time. Then as the old lady got out of the boat he heard the voice of a child and he looked back to the other side of the river, wondering if the next one had arrived already.
"Hi Charon," Aelus came bounding over towards him. "You were right, it's really nice there, I like it."
"What, Aelus?" Charon could only gawk in surprise. He had never expected to see the boy again, and he felt all strange from having been proven wrong. He simply didn't know any words for the warmth that was spreading inside of him.
"Yeah, sorry I took so long, Mommy didn't want to let me go anywhere at first," he giggled. "It's so great to see her, but she doesn't really know she's dead. Hades said it was easier for her that way. I asked him if I couldn't go see you, I think he was a little funny," he admitted with a whisper and a giggle. "He didn't seem to understand what I wanted at first, but then he said I could. And he told me Dad is getting better again."
"Yeah, that's, uh good," he nodded, still not quite having been able to collect himself.
"Yeah," he nodded. "Boy, I wish you could meet my dad, I bet you'd like him."
"I bet I would," it probably wouldn't be the best idea to tell the kid his father had already been dead once.
"You didn't think I'd come huh?" Aelus asked with an understanding unusual for his age.
"Nah," he shook his head. "Bright kid like you, why'd you wanna care about old Charon?"
"Hades said that too, kinda," he pouted. "I thought it was silly. You were so nice, really nice. Come now, I have to go back to Mommy soon. Do you want to play a game? I thought I was gonna bring you a cookie, but Mommy can't cook at all." He giggled again. "She burns everything now too, and it always tastes funny, but I know a new game, it's really funny, do you want to play?"
"Sure, why not?" If someone else came they could just wait for a few minutes, right now he had something more important to do than to wait for dead people. He was going to play a game with the first friend he had ever had…
The End
The river Styx was not affected by this fanfic, but suddenly customers of the ferryman may have to wait before they can cross…
Please Review, the Cricket is hungry….

Find the perfect fishing rod for any stream, lake, or ocean at Overstock.com. If you're new to the sport, look for a convenient rod/reel combo; alternatively, select a bare rod and mount your favorite spinning reel. For safe carrying, choose a rod that comes with a matching carrying case for maximum protection in a vehicle or during the trek to the river. With a wide selection of fishing rod styles, you can find surf rods to use on the seaside, fly rods for effortless stream fishing, and standard spin rods for versatile use. Specialty models, such as catfish rods and trolling rods, provide the condition-specific design you need for effective angling. Shop from a wide range of popular brands, including Shakespeare, Fenwick, Daiwa, Okuma, and Lamiglas, to find the rod that best suits your fishing style.
I have the full line of Okuma Nomad Travel Rods because did kot know which ones to choose for a recent trip to Baja Mexico. Brought the 7' M/MH, 7' L/ML Boat Casting Rods and 7' H/MH inshore bait caster loaded into one of the travel rod cases and caught Football Yellowfin, Yellowtail on Salas yo/yo jigs and bait to 35lbs, Dorado to 25lbs, Calico Bass to 8lbs. Rods perform like one piece rods with a progressive flex action and plenty of backbone at the butt. Double rod tips are a nice touch but found I didn't bother to switch tips. Used 40 to 50lb mono tops on 55 to 65lb braid. Connection is the "European" spigot ferrule and for those that don't know about rod building that is a superior ferrule connection system than the one that 99% of the multipiece rods you see built and you will see a lot of ignorant reviewers complaining of that connection. The only complaint with the rods is that the very nice looking and high quality Alps reel seat is designed for the older larger reels such as Penn 4/0 senators or Internationals with larger reel seat foots and wider spaced reel seat brackets as the feet on the newer smaller reels such as Accurate Valiants 400 and 500's, Shimano Talica 12ii and Avet Raptors sxj's do not fit tight /snug into the reel seat rings and therefore the reel feet need to be shimmed with tape. Furthermore, to add to this issue the aluminum reel seat although very nice looking is a triangle shape making it too wide for the spacing for the reel seat brackets on the reels to fit onto the reel seat so I needed to remove the bracket posts from the reels. Too bad Okuma still uses these seats on the Okuma Nomad and does not change over to the cheaper but more functional graphite/composite reel seats used on the single tip Okuma Nomad Express line of travel rods or use a narrower round Aluminum reel seat that will allow using a reel bracket. I like the action on the Nomad series rods and the optional tip more than the Nomad Express rods as the Express are slightly more stiffer farther out towards the tip

Blowin' in the wind
Sydney Morning Herald
Page Tools
Plain sailing ... the Sun Odyssey 49s head up the east coast.
Photo: Andrea Francolini
Related articles
Destination: New South Wales Australia
Theme: Beaches & Islands
Many a city slicker dreams about sailing into the sunset, writes David Lockwood.
Cruising under sail has lost none of its appeal, but early winter, with all this global warming going on, is not the ideal time to make a quick exodus from Sydney. The wind is fickle and prone to fizzle by midday.
Becalmed, you are left motor-sailing. When the sails eventually fill, it's entirely possible that the east Australian current will have sent you backwards. It happens in northbound winter yacht races all the time.
So we heed the advice of the yachting agent Ron Jacobs, who has done 18 Sydney to Hobart races and, just as importantly, 28 Sydney to Mooloolaba races since he began offshore racing in 1975. His advice is to leave in the early morning and motor for the wide blue yonder, where a convection wind will be drawn from the cool land to the warm ocean.
Rosy cheeked and numb thumbed, we fumble with the lines before steaming out of Sydney Harbour. Thanks to climate change, the ocean is 20 degrees and its pull is profound. Just beyond the Heads we hit the cruising highway: 15 knots of south-westerly wind, a gentle following swell and crisp winter skies stretching north along the headlands to Avoca, beyond which my imagination takes over.
The Dacron sails are sent aloft with the help of an electric winch - one of the many must-have conveniences of the modern era - and our brace of cruising yachts heel in unison before Sydney's sandstone cliffs. We begin with a beam reach for New Zealand - okay, Bondi - at a fast clip of
8.5 knots, before gybing and cruising at a similar speed north.
The fantasy of many a city slicker, cruising sailing is starting to take over from racing, according to those at the front line. The reason is that you can go it alone or with your family, without needing to muster a full crew. Judging by sales of new cruising yachts, many of us harbour dreams of sailing off into the sunset one day.
But we're a far cry from those tough nuts of the Joshua Slocum era. Besides fair winds and following seas, the modern cruising sailor demands a comfortable, seaworthy and easily sailed yacht with all the conveniences and comforts of home. Yachts just like the two new 16-metre vessels from the French maker Jeanneau that we're sailing today. Made for the cruising life, the vessels sport the same hull and similar rigs but different deck plans. And in their own way each can accommodate an adventurous owner with itchy feet.
The Jeanneau 49 Deck Saloon provides an escape for Sydney sailors and good mates Scott Keogh and Steve Jeffress. When the cruising bug bites, the intrepid pair down tools and set sail for a new anchorage somewhere. These spur-of-the-moment cruises dictate that their yacht, Kanggandi, is always provisioned. For ease of handling it has push-button controls.
"We never quite know where we will end up," says Jeffress. "We won't return to the harbour until Monday morning. I'll take a hot shower aboard, slip into a change of clothes, and start the workaday week feeling liberated and mentally charged. Next year we'll hit the Queensland coast and then we'll go further afield. Who knows where it will take us."
The key feature of the avant garde Deck Saloon is its raised-deck profile with distinctive eagle-eyed windows that direct light inside much like an atrium. With plush seating, teak joinery and an entertainment system, the sophisticated saloon wouldn't be out of place during the cocktail hour.
Accommodation comprises three double cabins, and there are two bathrooms, each with long, hot showers. As with all good cruising yachts, there is big fresh-water capacity, generous refrigeration and vast storage, including a cavernous sail locker in the bow.
Besides an electric halyard winch, the owners fitted a bowthruster to assist with marina parking. Their Raymarine electronics include radar and a television feed to the cockpit so they can watch the cricket while cruising. The motor was upgraded to a 75-kilowatt Yanmar to get to places when the wind doesn't co-operate.
Its sister ship, a Sun Odyssey 49 called Latitude, is the pride of a Sydney professional about to embark on a three-month odyssey to the Queensland islands with his young family. The former charterer, who wants to be known only as John, sails with his wife and three children aged one, seven and eight. His yacht has a flush deck, three cabins and two heads, but the highlight is a full-length
galley in a more traditional, child-friendly saloon.
Having looked at a tonne of second-hand boats, John decided he didn't want a slow cruising yacht. The Sun Odyssey and the Deck Saloon have the same hull from the French naval architect Philippe Briand, who claims to have designed more than 10,000 yachts plying the seven seas today. And they aren't all slugs: the record-breaking Mari-Cha III is one of the quickest super-yachts in the world.
"I was looking for a performance cruiser that sails well, that is strong and well made, big enough to spread out aboard without being in each other's pockets, but not so big that we couldn't find a berth at a marina up the coast. I also wanted a great finish," says John, adding that safety is a big concern with a family.
"Offshore, I put the kids in harnesses and lifejackets. Mostly they stay in the cockpit. The little fella, the one-year-old, is always clipped in and harnessed onboard. The other two kids might go below to play games when offshore, when not spotting dolphins or helping helm the yacht. When we head north this time we will school them onboard, having worked with the teachers on the curriculum beforehand."
While the family has ranged to Port Stephens, hooking a marlin on a trolled line along the way, Queensland is firmly in their sights come August when the winter winds are really blowing. The trip has been planned using, among other resources, the excellent NSW and Queensland cruising guides by the lifelong cruising sailor and author Alan Lucas (they're available from good boating bookstores).
John plans to complete the coastal legs with close friends before meeting up with his family in Mooloolaba. They will then cruise inside Fraser Island through Hervey Bay, out to Lady Musgrave Island, Fitzroy and Polmaise reefs, the Keppels and the Percy Island group, and then onto the Whitsundays for a few weeks.
"I like cruising for the head space. It gets you away from everything. And I love the concept of using a natural resource, the wind, to go places. It's a challenge, especially with three kids, but it's a common interest we all share."
Jeanneau's Sun Odyssey 49 Deck Saloon costs from $617,270 with a 75-kilowatt Yanmar engine and the Sun Odyssey 49 costs $518,993 with a 56-kilowatt Yanmar motor. Contact Performance Boating, Church Point, phone 9979 9755. If you haven't the wherewithal to buy your own boat, try a luxury charter aboard a yacht from Port Douglas to Lizard Island.

text: I'm a beginner in this field and was hoping somebody could answer some questions that I have. I live in England. I have recently bought the Collins Field Guide by Courtecuisse&Duhem. Why can't I find Chicken-of-the-woods (Laetiporus Sulphireus) in Courtecuisse? Is this species the same as Hen-of-the-woods (Grifola Frondosa)? Similarly with the Cauliflower Fungus (Sparassis Crispa); does this species have another name? Is it common for species to have more than one Latin name? When describing gills, what is the difference between 'adnate' and 'free'? I found a 'new' species yesterday which I'm pretty confident is a Russula. I also have a 'Green Guide' book showing just 150 species. >From this I would identify it as a Russula Atropurpurea (Black-and- purple Russula) but this species is not in Courtecuisse. Instead there is a whole sub-sect called Atropurpureae, none of which seems quite right. The smaller ones were domed and the larger ones had the classic Russula funnel shape. About as tall as they were broad. White Stipe covered in vertical 'scars', felt firm but inside was moist and crisp when squashed. White gills ran straight from edge of cap then stopped neatly at top of stipe. A few gills started at edge of cap but stopped before reaching the stem but most were complete. Spores looked very pale. Cap thick and firm. Deep pink with darker (black?) centre. One very wet example had had its colour leached out and was a pale pink. They were growing over several square meteres of ground on grass under an oak. Any ideas on how to pin down the ID on this one? Thanks for any help, ideas or advise.

I was under the impression that sleeping advances time by 6 hours but I recently discovered that the 3 characters have different sleeping times. Michael sleeps for 6 hours, Franklin sleeps for 8 hours, and Trevor sleeps for 12 hours.
I was trying to do the last knife flight I needed with a jet and it was difficult to see anything because it was dusk and a heavy fog had rolled in throughout the city leaving me blind so I shot over to Trev's safehouse out in bumpkin county, ditched the jet and saved twice.
It was 11pm when I got there so I figured 2 x 6 hour sleeps would get me to midday and I would have a clear view for the last knife flight, when I walked out it was dark and I wondered why.
I made note of the time and slept again and noticed 12 hours had passed not 6, I reloaded my first playthrough save and slept as Trevor to make sure it wasn't just a glitch with my current save and it was also 12 hours.
I then checked Michael and Franklin's sleep cycles and found that Michael sleeps for 6 hours and Franklin sleeps for 8 hours.
This info could be useful for stock fluctuations (advancing time quicker to see profit/loss), wearing the Epsilon robes for 10 days (not sure, Michael may change clothes when sleeping as Trevor), day/night quick change for missions or video montage requirements, or quick weekly income deposits if desperate for $$$.
Trevor sleeps for 12 hours, not 6.

Nice find , i was wandering about sleep times today as when i saved as Trevor it didn't seem to be 6 hours as you would expect, but never thought of actually testing to see how many hours he sleeps. And i also slept as Franklin and noticed it was a little more than 6 hours (but thought i'd maybe added it up wrong lol).
I'll remember that for the next time i want to advance time with the character i'm using.
Posted 15 October 2013 - 08:27 AM
Michael has a lot of inner demons. He has a lazy stoner son (not judging) and a potentially self-destructing daughter. Not to mention the ex-stripper wife. He sleeps 6 hours because, as most of us know, time is money.
Franklin starts off in his aunt's place until he gets his upgrade. He smokes marijuana and, judging by the character switch cut-scenes, he drinks. This gives Franklin a much more relaxed and easy life. 8 hours of blissful sleep.
Trevor. Oh Trevor. A man of many issues. The drinking. Huffing gasoline from a dirty sock on his porch. Skull forking a teddy. Waking up with little or no recollection of the night before. This is typical of many people in his situation. Methamphetamine is a helluva nasty drug. I'd sleep for 12hrs straight after a 6-day meth (or any narcotic substance) binge.
Also bear in mind that the campaign takes place over months. I didn't understand why Trevor's hair grew at first until I opened my mind a little more. Hopefully this will add a slightly different point of view on the sleeping for you.

Next: Frame Registers, Previous: Exception Handling, Up: Stack and Calling
GCC will check that stack references are within the boundaries of the stack, if the -fstack-check is specified, in one of three ways:
STACK_CHECK_BUILTIN macro is nonzero, GCC
will assume that you have arranged for stack checking to be done at
appropriate places in the configuration files, e.g., in
TARGET_ASM_FUNCTION_PROLOGUE. GCC will do not other special
STACK_CHECK_BUILTIN is zero and you defined a named pattern
check_stack in your md file, GCC will call that
pattern with one argument which is the address to compare the stack
value against. You must arrange for this pattern to report an error if
the stack pointer is out of range.
Normally, you will use the default values of these macros, so GCC will use the third approach.
A nonzero value if stack checking is done by the configuration files in a machine-dependent manner. You should define this macro if stack checking is require by the ABI of your machine or if you would like to have to stack checking in some more efficient way than GCC's portable approach. The default value of this macro is zero.
An integer representing the interval at which GCC must generate stack probe instructions. You will normally define this macro to be no larger than the size of the "guard pages" at the end of a stack area. The default value of 4096 is suitable for most systems.
A integer which is nonzero if GCC should perform the stack probe as a load instruction and zero if GCC should use a store instruction. The default is zero, which is the most efficient choice on most systems.
The number of bytes of stack needed to recover from a stack overflow, for languages where such a recovery is supported. The default value of 75 words should be adequate for most machines.
The maximum size of a stack frame, in bytes. GCC will generate probe instructions in non-leaf functions to ensure at least this many bytes of stack are available. If a stack frame is larger than this size, stack checking will not be reliable and GCC will issue a warning. The default is chosen so that GCC only generates one instruction on most systems. You should normally not change the default value of this macro.
GCC uses this value to generate the above warning message. It represents the amount of fixed frame used by a function, not including space for any callee-saved registers, temporaries and user variables. You need only specify an upper bound for this amount and will normally use the default of four words.

It's the GPL or nothing.Larry, you are wrong.The license _IS_ the GPL. There's no issue about that. The GPL rules apply100%.But a license only covers what it _can_ cover - derived works. The factthat Linux is under the GPL simply _cannot_matter_ to a user program, ifthe author can show that the user program is not a derived work.And the linux/COPYING addition is not an addition to the license itself(indeed, it cannot be, since the GPL itself is a copyrighted work, and soby copyright law you aren't allowed to just take it and change it).No, the note at the top of the copying file is something totallydifferent: it's basically a statement to the effect that the copyrightholder recognizes that there are limits to a derived work, and spells outone such limit that he would never contest in court.See? It's neither a license nor a contract, but it actually does havelegal meaning: look up the legal meaning of "estoppel" (google "define:"is qutie good). Trust me, it's got _tons_ of legal precedent.

As the July start of the drawdown of U.S. troops in Afghanistan nears, the pressure is growing for President Obama to decide how many, and how soon.
Depending on the day, we're told the pace is still uncertain; that the numbers will be significant; that the commitment must continue.
This comes, notes William Bennett, a former education secretary and drug czar, as a majority of Americans don't support the war. Writing for CNN, Bennett argues that there are many important reasons to stay there, among them the need to prevent al Qaida from having a nation in which to base itself, train, and export its violent jihad. But he also recalls Abraham Lincoln's observation that "public opinion is everything," and calls for an "urgent" national conversation about the war to gain consensus.
Since the killing of Osama bin Laden there have been increasing calls for the U.S. to get out of Afghanistan by those who say that nation building was not the point of this war in the first place.
Writing at The Hill, Anne Penketh, Penketh, program director of the British American Security Information Council, lists a concise five reasons why Obama should pull out of Afghanistan, now, noting that Osama bin Laden is dead, al Qaida is all but gone there, the war is unaffordable and unwinnable militarily, and the American people don't want it anymore.
What do you think? Stay the course? Leave? Something else? And do you agree with Bennett, that public opinion matters here? If it did, wouldn't we already be out of Afghanistan?
