England, Durham Diocese, Marriage Bonds and Allegations (FamilySearch Historical Records)
|This article describes a collection of historical records available at FamilySearch.org.
Access the records: England, Durham Diocese, Marriage Bonds & Allegations, 1692-1900 .
Record Description
Allegations are handwritten documents. Later allegations are handwritten on preprinted pages. Most of the originals have now been compiled and bound in volumes. The majority of the original marriage allegations have been preserved. While most are in the custody of the diocese, others may be found in the records of the Vicar General and the faculty office of the Archbishop of Canterbury; most are now in the county records office.
The Bishop of Durham's transcripts of marriage bonds and allegations for Allertonshire Peculiar includes the following Yorkshire parishes:
- Birkby
- Cowesby
- Hutton Bonville
- Leake
- Nether Silton
- North Otterington
- Osmotherly
- Thornton-le-Street

A marriage allegation is a sworn statement filed often by the marriage participants in connection with their license application. It is a statement that there is no known reason that the marriage should not take place. Marriage licences could be granted by the Archbishop of Canterbury, bishops, and archdeacons or their surrogates within their respective jurisdictions. The original allegations and bonds were held by the various church officials. Most were later transferred to county record offices. Many of the records are now published by the respective dioceses. The majority of English people would have been married by banns, not by licence, and so would not have a marriage allegation. However, from the early 16th century, those able to pay the fee would avoid the reading of public banns and obtain a licence, since many families did not like the thought of public objection to their intended marriage. Dissenters (other faiths) were obliged to marry in the Church of England but obtained a licence to marry.
For further information, see Marriage Allegations, Bonds and Licences in England and Wales.
The Durham collection represent allegations or applications made to the diocesan chancellor or surrogate application may have been made to the Archbishop's of York or Canterbury as the two provinces within the Church of England. In the case of Canterbury allegations, the licence issued was valid throughout England.
Two people made the allegation (application) to designated officers of either the diocesan chancellor or surrogate or the Archbishop's of York or Canterbury. Bridegrooms may make an allegation or have two friends do so on their behalf. Each allegation requires two bondsmen who would stand as surety in case any impediment to marriage is later discovered. Underage spouses required parental consent as part of the allegation.
The licences were issued to the bridegroom and have generally not survived. The allegations and bonds are found at diocesan or record office and here, forming this collection.
Both the Canterbury Vicar-General's and Faculty Office records are held at the Lambeth Palace library, the residence of the Archbishop of Canterbury, and can be seen by appointment with the librarian. Printed indexes of these were published by the Harleian Society. The Society of Genealogists also owns a collection of abstracts and indexes and has published a guide to them.
Records in this collection cover the years 1692 to 1900.
These records were created as part of the ecclesiastical process of ensuring that no lawful impediment to marriage existed, that persons of other faiths required to marry in the Church of England had a system to do so, and that an alternative was offered to those who did wish public banns to be read. The licence was normally obtained from the chancellor or surrogate of the diocese in which one of the parties lived and in which the marriage was intended to be celebrated, but application could be made to the Vicar-General of the Archbishop of the province. If the parties lived in different diocese, they had to apply to the Vicar-General. If they lived in different provinces they had to apply to the Master of Faculties of the Archbishop of Canterbury.
The record was used by the marriage official as evidence that the bride and groom were eligible to be married.
The information included in a marriage allegation is sometimes unreliable; fictitious names are not unknown! Generally if the bridegroom and a friend made the allegation the information is reliable; in the case of application by two "friends" a degree of caution may be indicated. It was often the case that families of nobility would have others handle the license application on their behalf. The use of fictitious bondsmen names is encountered but usually the parties to the marriage are accurate unless secretive marriage was being sought for pregnancy or another reason.
The Allegation or application is only an intention to marry and just as a banns book entry may not result in actual marriage the license does not imply actual marriage.

The key genealogical facts found in the Marriage Allegation Records may include the following information:
- Names of the marriage partners
- Ages of the marriage partners
- Occupations of the marriage partners
- Marital statuses (whether single or widowed)

How to Use the Record
To search the collection, select "Browse through images" on the initial collection page ⇒ Select the Year ⇒ Select the Durham University Reference Number which takes you to the images.
Look at the images one by one comparing the information with what you already know about your ancestors to determine which one is your ancestor. You may need to compare the information about more than one person to make this determination.
For people whose ancestors married by license, the allegation could be a valuable research tool. The allegation can help define family relationships and residences as well as personal information such as age and occupation. You can use the residence information for the bride and groom to look for their baptisms and to identify the children of this couple. The ages can help you calculate an approximate year of birth.
To begin your search, you must know the name of a marriage partner. If no index is available, you must know the jurisdiction where the allegation was filed and an approximate marriage date.
The following suggestions can help you find marriage allegation records for your ancestors:
- Make sure you are searching in the right jurisdiction.
- Check for indexes that will make your search easier.
- When searching through the records, look for others with the same surname; they may be related.
- Look for allegations of parents and earlier generations in the same jurisdiction.
- Look for allegations of children in the same jurisdiction.

Sexuality education and health services top agenda at meeting of regional experts in Botswana
Experts and policy-makers from East and Southern African nations will meet in Gaborone, Botswana, on July 30 and 31, to review the findings of a new report on the difficulties facing adolescents and young people in relation to health and sexuality education. The meeting, convened by UNAIDS and UNESCO, will be opened by Salma Kikwete, the First Lady of Tanzania.
With an estimated 52 young people infected with HIV every hour, East and Southern Africa remain the epicenter of the global HIV epidemic. Education and access to information services are considered among the most effective tools for addressing this situation.
Scheduled for publication in early October, the report, "Young People Today, Ready for Tomorrow?", presents data from the 21 countries in the region, covering health and the social status of adolescents and young people, access to education, HIV knowledge, HIV and unintended pregnancy prevalence and key gender and human rights indicators. It reviews sexuality education, sexual and reproductive health services, and gender, rights and contextual issues, and makes a number of recommendations on addressing gaps in these areas.
Participants at the Gaborone meeting, including experts and policy makers in education, sexual reproductive health and rights, HIV and development, will review the findings and discuss their implications.
Their conclusions will contribute to the preparation of a "Ministerial Commitment" for region-wide action to improve provision of sexuality education and health services for young people. This "Commitment" is due to be endorsed and launched on 7 December at a conference of education and health ministers from the concerned countries."The need for a commitment is unquestionable," said Sheila Tlou, Chair of the Gaborone meeting and Director of UNAIDS Regional Support Team for Eastern and Southern Africa. "Young people still face challenges around teenage pregnancy, gender-based violence and high fertility rates, not to mention HIV. Young people themselves are agitating for a reinvigorated response to their needs. Our young people are right. We simply cannot afford to continue with business as usual."

To have your anal region completely violated in a "back 40" location in Texas. These southern attacks usually involve Midwestern Yankee business men who truly believe the Civil war is over.
Upon returning from a business trip to Texas, my roommate Steve was walking very bull-legged. I asked him, "What the hell happened to you?" He said, "While under the spell of a southern girl's accent, her brothers took me out to the back 40 and Longhorned me!" "Damn Steve, I told you not to mess with Texas!"

Welcome to my blog and the place where I will post my photos and musings from my life as an ultrarunner. My nickname "Shining" was given to me by a group of very special students after I finished my first 100-miler, the Massanutten Mountain Trails 100. They were the inspiration that enabled me to finish this awesome race, and I try to live each day with a "shining" attitude!
Sunday, November 2, 2008
Masochists 2008
My first 50 miler was the Mountain Masochist 50 mile in 2003. It was my second ultra and I was woefully under prepared, but I loved it and met a good friend as I was coming out of the infamous Loop: Ryan Henry. On that day Ryan was a 29-year-old ultra veteran who ran with me to the finish and put up with my whining and whimpering...and we have been trail buddies ever since.
As much as I love the race, Masochist was NOT in my recovery plan from Grindstone, so yesterday Ryan and I met at the Masochist finish line and ran back to mile 41, hoping to see the front runners and enjoy the beautiful weather on the trail. We were not disappointed: we managed to see the top 30 runners, take some great photos, and get in a hard (for me) 20-mile training run in a beautiful place. Good times, Ryan!
We saw tough performances by the top guys and a gutsy run by David Horton---his first run at Masochist since the first year of the race, 26 years ago, I believe. Many folks were having a tough day on the course due to some warm temperatures, and Horton was not happy when we saw him in Forest Valley, a horrendous leafy climb off an old section of the AT. But he hammered to the finish line strong and happy, surrounded by his family and crew, Jen Pharr Davis, who is fresh off her record-setting AT thru-hike.
Clark Zealand, the new RD of Masochsist, was at the finish to greet each runner, and he did an extra cool thing with the results this year: they included splits from certain aid stations as well as the runner's previous Masochist race times. And I was sorry to miss many folks who came in after 11 hours---my camera's batteries died. But just before that happened, I caught these two tough women, Kerry Owens and Rebekah Trittipoe, on film as they were finishing their fifth Beast Series run,
and I did manage to get these great pics!

Blue full net saree
Added Feb 14, 2013
Bangalore, India
My outfit for my cousins wedding. I made the blouse, underskirt and the pouch. The blouse is fully lined with pre-washed cotton, the blouse fabric came withe saree, and i am not able to figure out what fabric it is. Some sort of blend, silk and polyester??? I made a back open blouse for the first time. the front portion is cut on bias. the buttons on the back are fabric covered beads, i added two hooks for added strength. bras straps with snap fasteners. Blouse is a pain to get into by myself but i can still manage by putting all the buttons from front and turning it all the way to the back so that the opening goes to the back. Then slipping one arm at a time n squeezing myself into it. Easier if somebody helps by putting the buttons threw the loops for me ;-). The tucks are a bit off in the blouse but wearable(will correct it soon) The underskirt i made with satin, cut on bias with one triangular piece in the centre front bottom. Since the saree is full net i wanted to hide the underskirt tie in the front below the pleats. I chose the lighter shade of blue from the top half of the saree so that the color difference is visible. hope that ws the right choice, I think if I chose the darker shade the saree being net, and the lighter shade on top would not have been visible. The pouch i made by cutting circles n attaching the embroidered border. For the base I inserted a circle cutout and made little pockets which i dont think are functional(got the idea from some item i saw somewhere on the internet). I made it to be reversible, silver on the outside and dark blue on the inside with satin lined little pockets, but the little pockets stick out so i will have to use the silver on the outside. I still have to add few thingys to the end of the pouch drawstrings. I used leftover material from the blouse and underskirt to made the pouch. Because net sarees are tricky to wear,I also stitched the pleats, front Pleats I stitched few inches vertically down and the pleats that go over the shoulder are hand tacked to keep them together. then i pin it to the blouse at the desired length.
Material Notes
satin, polyester, blend

That's an amazing saree. Is buttoning the blouse toward the side commonly done, or was that an adjustment you made? I really like it, makes it an interesting back neckline.

Ashley Greene: The Bombshell
An Eyeful Dress, briefs, Dolce & Gabbana; Necklace, James Colarusso
You know her from
The Twilight Movies
Look for her next in
The Apparition
The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn—Part 1*GLAMOUR: You have a truckload of experience with the Twilight films, but you are also just getting started. It's kind of funny, right?
ASHLEY GREENE: I still am extremely green in some ways. And so each time I work on a character, it is very exciting, very scary.
GLAMOUR: What about your new movie, Butter? Are you funny in it? I mean, it's about people who carve butter competitively!
ASHLEY GREENE: I am unintentionally funny in it. Yeah—butter carving in Iowa. It's a thing there. They make masterpieces.
GLAMOUR: How do you define the rest of your career after being part of this huge Twilight phenomenon so early on?
ASHLEY GREENE: It is difficult because people look at you as that character. I want to play a role of a 24-year-old woman, not 17-year-old girls. So I have picked a couple of films like Butter to show that. And it's perfectly fine not to do anything for a year if I don't find the right thing.
GLAMOUR: To have a career like yours, you have to be professional. You have to be in control.
ASHLEY GREENE: You have to try. I am certainly not perfect. I don't think you should try to be perfect for anyone. When you come to terms with that, then you're OK.
GLAMOUR: So what about messy Hollywood, like the partying and drugs?
ASHLEY GREENE: I keep to the ground rules. I'm not going to get drunk at a bar. There are younger girls who look up to me. So I do my best not to stray too far.
GLAMOUR: Let's just talk about life offscreen. Tell me about your charity work.
ASHLEY GREENE: I work with a charity called Donate My Dress. It's got chapters all over the country where you can donate special-occasion dresses. Prom is a big deal when you're 15 years old, and it enables girls who don't have the money to come in and choose something special.
GLAMOUR: That's lovely. Your parents must be so proud.
ASHLEY GREENE: The only thing they ever wanted was for me to do what I wanted to. They are very proud because it's a hard thing to not let Hollywood change you.
GLAMOUR: Have you always been a hard worker?
ASHLEY GREENE: Oh, man, I have had so many jobs. I always wanted to work, earn my own money. When I was 14, I convinced a dry-cleaning company to hire me. I was working to buy the things that I wanted.
GLAMOUR: Where did the acting come from?
ASHLEY GREENE: I started in modeling. [At first] I wanted to be a lawyer. I realized I don't really want to be a lawyer. I want to play a lawyer. Thank God I figured that out.
GLAMOUR: How many girls from Florida or anywhere go to a modeling convention in New York and become a movie star?
ASHLEY GREENE: I'm a big believer in "everything happens for a reason." I'm not saying it wasn't hard. I lived off Lean Cuisine and had no furniture and shared a bedroom with a girl for a year. I ran up my credit card. But every time I thought, I'm going to fail, something happened that kept me here.
GLAMOUR: Let's talk about love and relationships. Like where is your super-foxy boyfriend right now?
ASHLEY GREENE: Superstud.
GLAMOUR: Superstud! Was it love at first sight?
ASHLEY GREENE: A friendship developed first, and that's the most important thing for me. If you are going to be with someone all the time, they need to be your best friend.
GLAMOUR: What are your boundaries in a relationship?
ASHLEY GREENE: You need to be able to talk about the difficult things. I don't want us to talk about our ex-boyfriends or ex- girlfriends. The past is the past. As long as it's not a mass-murderer past! You're with the person who you're with as they are now.
GLAMOUR: When I typed A-S-H into Google—just A-S-H—your name was the first to come up. Seriously! What about that?
ASHLEY GREENE: Really?! That's exciting!
GLAMOUR: Ashley Greene, small-town girl with a big-town dream…
ASHLEY GREENE: I think that I have got a lot more to do. But I am comfortable in this spot. There are always bigger dreams.

COVINGTON, La. — Evamor, an alkaline water with the highest natural pH among domestic brands, today announced a distribution agreement with Crescent Crown Distributing Co., Inc. Crescent Crown will deliver Evamor to retail, convenience and on-premise channels in Louisiana.
Crescent Crown becomes a powerful distribution partner for Evamor and immediately will expand availability in the brand's home state of Louisiana.
"This agreement with Crescent Crown provides Evamor with substantial opportunity to expand distribution in our backyard," said Evamor President Bo Reily. "We have partnered with an influential distributor that has passion for premium and local products like Evamor."
With a natural pH level of 8.8, Evamor is quickly gaining awareness with consumers who enjoy great-tasting water with unique functional benefits.
"Crescent Crown is pleased to partner with Evamor water in the southern Louisiana market. We are looking forward to representing this product that is both premium and functional," said Crescent Crown President James R. Moffett, Jr.
Starting out thousands of years ago in the foothills of the Appalachians, Evamor water is filtered by nature ending up in a protected artesian aquifer, half a mile underground. The aquifer's mineral composition and pressure over time have infused the water with its naturally high alkaline properties.
About Crescent Crown Distributing, LLC
Crescent Crown Distributing is a full-service, direct store delivery distributor of premium alcoholic and non-alcohol beverages delivering over 26 million cases annually throughout their distribution territories, making them one of the top ten largest beer distributors in the country.
About Evamor Alkaline Artesian Water
Evamor Products, LLC. is a privately held company based in Covington, La. and is a subsidiary of Wm. B. Reily & Company, Inc.
About Evamor pH levels
The natural artesian source of Evamor can fluctuate with a pH between 8.8 and 9.1. Because Evamor follows all Federal, State and local laws and regulations, the lowest pH measurement is stated on the label.

Kroger (NYSE:KR) agreed Tuesday to acquire fellow U.S. grocery chain Harris Teeter Supermarkets (NYSE:HTSI) for about $2.5 billion, a move that will further expand Kroger's footprint along the East Coast.

Harris Teeter, which operates 200 high-end grocery stores, has been exploring a possible sale for months. It reportedly received an offer from private equity firm Cerberus Capital Management, which led the group that bought five grocery chains from Supervalu (NYSE:SVU) early this year.
Shareholders will get $49.38 a share, a 34% premium over Harris Teeter's stock price on Jan. 18 when it was first reported that the company was exploring options.
Kroger said it will finance the acquisition with debt and intends to assume Harris Teeter's outstanding debt of about $100 million.
Harris Teeter shares were trading at $49.13, a 1.26% gain, in early morning trading. Kroger was up 2.3% at $37.02.
The deal is Kroger's largest since purchasing Fred Meyer in 1999 for $13 billion and will increase Kroger's portfolio of stores by 10%. Harris Teeter stores, which stretch along the Atlantic coast from Florida to Delaware, will add to Kroger's mid-Atlantic region.
The combined company will operate a total of 2,631 supermarkets in 34 states and the District of Columbia. Harris Teeter management will continue to operate its stores.
On a conference call Tuesday morning, Kroger CFO Mike Schlotman said the company doesn't expect to close any stores. He added that Kroger could delay entering new markets to focus on integration.
"Harris Teeter is an exceptional company with a great brand, friendly and talented associates, and attractive store formats in vibrant markets run by a first-class management team," David B. Dillon, Kroger's Chairman and CEO, said in a statement. "We look forward to bringing together the best of Kroger and Harris Teeter while continuing to operate and grow the Harris Teeter brands."
Kroger's acquisition comes at a time when traditional grocery stores are facing more competition from Wal-Mart (NYSE:WMT), Target (NYSE:TGT) and other retailers that expanded to add grocery sections.
Over the last decade, Kroger has reduced its prices to more closely align itself with cheaper competition. The move weighed on profit margins but kept shoppers from going to other supermarkets.
The supermarket operator has also added premium items like expensive cheese to stores in affluent markets in an attempt to take shoppers away from higher-end chains like Whole Foods Market (NYSE:WFM).
Kroger reported last month a 9.6% increase in first-quarter earnings, while sales rose to $30.04 billion.
Harris Teeter's second-quarter profit climbed 8.7%, and revenue for fiscal year 2012 checked in at $4.5 billion.
Kroger expects the addition of Harris Teeter to add between six cents and nine cents to its per-share earnings in the first full year after the merger.

Confession or forced confession in Round Lake Park woman's slaying?
A Wisconsin man was broke and so desperate to get his car out of storage that he robbed a Check N' Go in Waukegan and shot the Round Lake Park store clerk to avoid getting caught, prosecutors said in court Tuesday morning.
However, the defense attorneys for Montago Suggs said there is no evidence linking him to the 2007 murder, and that Suggs only confessed to the crime to end an interrogation that lasted four days.
"(Prosecutors) are going to have to overcome the burden of proof and show that he committed a crime at the Check N' Go," Keith Grant, chief of special defense for the Lake County public defender's office, said during his opening statement. "They won't be able to."
Suggs, now 29, is on trial on first-degree murder charges after he was accused of killing Melinda Morrell, 23, at the store on the 1100 block of Green Bay Road on May 21, 2007.
Assistant State's Attorney Eric Kalata said Suggs needed money to get his car out of storage after it was impounded by Winthrop Harbor police the morning of the murder.
After trying to raise money by panhandling immediately after his arrest on a driving on a suspended license charge, Suggs made his way to Waukegan where he stole a car, obtained a gun, then entered the Check N' Go and confronted Morrell, Kalata said.
After taking $2,000 in cash from the register, Suggs told Morrell to lie on her stomach in the rear of the store near the security camera videotape machine, then shot her in the back of the head. Suggs destroyed the videotape before fleeing, Kalata said.
Morrell's body was discovered by a customer about 5:15 p.m. that day, Kalata said. Members of the Lake County Task Force were called in to investigate.
They determined the murder took place during a robbery, $2,000 was missing from the cash register, and a shell casing from the weapon that killed Morrell was left at the scene.
"He would have got away with it, too, except he made one fatal mistake," Kalata said. "He got greedy."
About five days later, Suggs entered the Ma and Pa's Country Store on the 3700 block of Green Bay Road in Beach Park and forced the lone store clerk to lie on the ground while he took cash out of the register, Kalata said.
When he tried to fire the gun at the clerk's head, the gun "clicked" and the clerk went after Suggs, Kalata said.
Suggs ran out of the building -- dropping the gun after slipping on wet pavement -- and hopped into his Lincoln Town Car to flee to Wisconsin. An alert Lake County sheriff's deputy saw Suggs' vehicle, gave chase, and eventually caught him in the woods just over the state line, Kalata said.
Suggs confessed to the store robbery after the first day of questioning, Kalata said, but task force detectives began asking questions about the Morrell murder.
Grant said Suggs eventually confessed to the murder but only because he was coerced into doing so after four days of interrogation. He confessed when it became evident police would not stop the interrogation until they heard what they wanted, Grant said.
"Montego knew the only thing that would end the interrogation would be confessing," Grant said.
Suggs remains held in Lake County jail without bail.

WHEN CLAY Mitchell and his father Wade made the leap to assisted steering technology in 2000, they upped the ante by asking that the real-time kinematic (RTK) signal correction system they installed do double duty.
In addition to providing RTK signal correction, they wanted the same radio system to be the backbone of a two-way wireless system to beam the Internet to farm equipment in the field. They also wanted the system to be able to monitor field equipment from afar, as well as remotely control their grain-handling system.
After a fair amount of trial and error with two different RTK-capable radio systems, today the Mitchells can send and receive e-mails, stay abreast of the markets and monitor and control their grain-handling system from the tractor, sprayer or combine cab.
"We knew that some of the radios used for RTK could be configured for communicating back and forth, but typically they aren't used this way," Clay Mitchell says. "We took the [radio] components we had and are getting more use out of them. There are a lot of nuances to make it work. It can be a bit challenging."
Setting up the system, and its multiple capabilities, was a tall order. The 2,400-acre operation is spread over a six-mile by 10-mile area in rolling country near Buckingham in southeastern Iowa. The Mitchells use a combination of 17 radios, including a base station, a fixed repeater and three mobile repeaters in three trucks to beam the RTK signal to areas of the farm that are more challenging to reach because of the topography.
The number of radios the Mitchells employ is dictated by RTK needs. Not all the radios are needed for the Internet portion of the system to be effective.
"The more radios we have, the more robust the RTK," Mitchell says. "The reliability of the RTK system gets better and better."
System backbone
The backbone of the Mitchells' radio network is based on the Safari Mobile Network system from NavCom Technology (www.navcomtech.com), a subsidiary of John Deere. Designed primarily for private wireless communications networks for business and industry, it also has the capability of relaying RTK correction signals. The system has multiple radio channels that provide both the relatively slow data rate typically used for RTK signals and higher speeds suitable for high-speed Internet — in this case, 512 kilobits per second (kbps). The system operates in the 2.4-GHz spectrum also used by fixed wireless Internet service providers, home wireless computer networks and Wi-Fi "hot spots."
The Mitchells have a base station radio on a tower located toward one end of the farm and a repeater on a grain leg toward the other end, about five miles away. In combination with mobile repeaters, the system provides seamless roaming between nodes, much like radio systems used for cellular telephone networks.
The RTK portion of the system delivers correction signals to both John Deere and Trimble assisted steering systems in the Mitchells' combine, two tractors and self-propelled sprayer, and implement steering systems on the planter and fertilizer applicator.
The Mitchells access the Internet in various implements with laptop computers, as well as with a PC-based sprayer monitor, manufactured by KEE Technologies, in their sprayer.
Connection payoffs
The Mitchells harness their private wireless network to stay abreast of the markets and the weather and to conduct farm-related business via e-mail. The network also allows them to monitor and control their grain-handling system via the Internet from the field and to monitor the status of spraying operations.
"Pulling information into the tractor cab helps us farm more efficiently," Mitchell says. "People have had the image with autosteer that you might be in the tractor watching movies. This is not the direction this is going."
Assisted steering, and the wireless network, allow the Mitchells to bring capabilities typically tied to the farm office into the field. "Being able to watch the weather radar during planting makes a huge difference," Mitchell says. Because the farm is relatively spread out, monitoring the progress of scattered rain showers allows him to continue planting by alerting him to fields that aren't receiving rain.
Efficiencies gained this way, as well as extended workdays and other assisted steering benefits, allow the Mitchells to rely on a single 12-row planter for their 2,400 acres.
The network also speeds machinery repairs and improves their weed-control program. "If I have a breakdown, I can order a part online or see if the dealer has it," Mitchell says. "I can look at herbicide labels to answer questions that come up when I am spraying. And it often is easier to get support via e-mail instead of the telephone."
The Mitchells have focused special attention on using the wireless network to enhance their ability to monitor spraying, harvest and grain-handling operations.
Numerous sensors added to their self-propelled sprayer allow Wade, for example, to remotely monitor Clay's location with the sprayer and how full the tank is. This allows him to time trips with the nurse tank. Other sensors show field speed, the real-time application rate, the boom height, whether a spray nozzle is clogged and other functions. These data can be monitored by anyone on their network, including the sprayer operator, and are automatically recorded on a computer.
During harvest, the network boosts efficiency by allowing the combine operator and others with access to their network to monitor and control their grain drying and storage setup from afar. The Web-based system continuously captures dryer temperatures, grain moisture content, and grain bin temperatures and moisture levels. Augers also can be switched remotely through the network.
The major network-based addition to the combine is a Web camera, which is pointed from behind the operator to the head, and can be monitored via the network. "The Web cam is nice for safety reasons," Mitchell says.
Costs vs. benefits
The Mitchells estimate that the cost of their dual-duty wireless network was about $100,000. RTK-related expenses were a big chunk of that.
Individual Safari Mobile Network system base station, repeater and remote radios used in the Mitchell network sell for $2,500 to $5,000 each, according to Jalal Alisobhani, director of communication products for NavCom Technology.
"The Mitchells are getting a lot of additional capability for only a little more money above the cost of a dedicated RTK radio system," he says. "Our vision is that this real-time connectivity is something that will be coming to farms."
But he acknowledges that the market is in its infancy. The Safari Network is a key enabling technology, "but because it is just one piece and not a complete end-to-end solution, it takes the kind of forward thinking that the Mitchells and other early adopters have brought to the table to pave the way for acceptance of real-time farming and Internet access in the broader farming market," Alisobhani says.
For their part, the Mitchells say their double-duty radio system is well worth the investment. Since 2000, what were formerly three farms operated by family members is now run as a single entity. Because of RTK-corrected assisted steering, the Mitchells use a single 12-row planter and tractor, instead of three of each as in the past or a 16-row or 24-row planter common for operations their size. There have been other equipment efficiencies as well.
The Mitchells have instituted controlled-traffic no-till and strip-till systems that have allowed them to cut out primary tillage, reduce other costs and increase yields. The controlled traffic system, which allows them to concentrate wheel traffic on less than 20% of their ground, wouldn't be possible without RTK-corrected assisted steering.
"We do better financially with RTK-corrected autosteering and the radio system than we would without these systems," Mitchell says. "Yields are higher and machinery costs are lower. It allows better utilization of machines.
"This system is expensive, but it is still cheap relative to the savings," he adds. "A new tractor costs $250,000. The electronics behind our system is just a little over $100,000."

The Old Curiosity Shop (Version 2)
Unabridged Audiobook
Written By: Charles Dickens
Narrated By: Mil Nicholson
Publisher: LibriVox
Date: August 2016
Duration: 24 hours 12 minutes
Written in the years 1840 to 1841, when Dickens was twenty-eight years old, this is a 'Road' tale in the very best tradition. Little Nell Trent and her Grandfather are the main characters, who secretly set off from their home under cover of night, to escape the wicked dwarf Quilp. Pursued across England, their adventures lead them through poverty stricken city areas where several destitute people offer them aid on their way, into the countryside where they meet the strange, colorful, and sometimes menacing characters for which Dickens is so well known. Grandfather's mind begins to wander, and he leans even more for help on Nell, who herself is feeling ill and weak. Eventually they reach a safe pasture with a kind gentleman and think their troubles may be over, but heart-breaking tragedy strikes. (Summary by Mil Nicholson)

On tonight's "Late Show," on CBS, television host David Letterman announced that he will retire in 2015.
During the taping of tonight's show, Letterman told CBS president and CEO Leslie Moonves that he will step down as host of his late-night talk show when his current contract expires.
"The man who owns this network, Leslie Moonves, he and I have had a relationship for years and years and years, and we have had this conversation in the past," Letterman told the audience, "and we agreed that we would work together on this circumstance and the timing of this circumstance. And I phoned him just before the program and I said, 'Leslie, it's been great, you've been great, and the network has been great, but I'm retiring.'
"I just want to reiterate my thanks for the support from the network, all of the people who have worked here, all of the people in the theater, all of the people on the staff, everybody at home, thank you very much," Letterman continued.
"What this means now," he quipped, "is that Paul (Shaffer, longtime Letterman bandleader) and I can be married."
"We don't have the timetable for this precisely down — I think it will be at least a year or so, but sometime in the not too distant future, 2015 for the love of God, in fact, Paul and I will be wrapping things up," he told the audience in the Ed Sullivan Theater.
CBS' Moonves was even more complimentary about the often-prickly Letterman.
"When Dave decided on a one-year extension for his most recent contract, we knew this day was getting closer, but that doesn't make the moment any less poignant for us," the CBS executive said in a statement. "For 21 years, David Letterman has graced our network's air in late night with wit, gravitas and brilliance unique in the history of our medium. During that time, Dave has given television audiences thousands of hours of comedic entertainment, the sharpest interviews in late night, and brilliant moments of candor and perspective around national events. He's also managed to keep many celebrities, politicians and executives on their toes — including me."
Moonves continued: "There is only one David Letterman. His greatness will always be remembered here, and he will certainly sit among the pantheon of this business. On a personal note, it's been a privilege to get to know Dave and to enjoy a terrific relationship. It's going to be tough to say goodbye. Fortunately, we won't have to do that for another year or so. Until then, we look forward to celebrating Dave's remarkable show and incredible talents."
Letterman has hosted "The Late Show" on CBS since 1993, prior to which he hosted NBC's "Late Night" from 1982 to 1992.
Letterman turns 67 next week. He has the longest tenure of any late-night talk show host in U.S. television history, nearing 32 years since he created "Late Night" at NBC in 1982. He hosted that show through 1992, and in 1993 created CBS' "The Late Show," which he has hosted ever since.
Both shows have been nominated for a total of 108 Emmy Awards, winning eight. Letterman received Kennedy Center honors in 2012.
Leno retired from "The Tonight Show" earlier this year, making way for "Late Night" host Jimmy Fallon to take over the NBC institution.
But in an interview with Howard Stern in January, Letterman said that Leno's departure would have no impact on how much longer he might stay as host of "Late Show."
"I would do it forever if it were up to me," said Letterman, before adding a wry aside: "Sometimes, it isn't up to me."
With the late-night landscape now settling at NBC, Who Replaces Letterman becomes the new guessing game. In the wings as a likely heir: Craig Ferguson, host of "The Late Late Show," which follows Letterman.

Spet. 20, 2005 - After battling to a 0-0 tie for almost 58 minutes the Austin Peay Lady Governors scored what proved to be the winning goal in a 1-0 road victory over the Lipscomb Lady Bisons.
Lady Bisons soccer coach Jenger Parrish was pleased with the effort of her team on the humid and warm Tuesday evening.
"Overall, front-to-back, it was a much better game for us," Parrish said. "We finally got the effort we wanted from everyone that stepped on the field. The players on the sidelines were into the game. They were up on their feet, cheering and encouraging the players on the field.
"It was a complete team effort which is something we have been missing all season. It's nice to walk away from the field knowing that it didn't go our way, but that we have it what we had."
Defender Adonia Bivins scored the winning goal from about 15 yards out after getting the ball from forward Erica Dengler at 57:58 The shot went low to the right corner and went in the net past the outstretched arms of Lipscomb goalkeeper Bethany Copeland.
Austin Peay spent most of the first half in the Lady Bisons half of the field. Despite the pressure, the Lady Bisons held firm for most of the game.
"We played so much defense in the first half that we didn't want to give up something simple," Parrish said. "Obviously, our forte is not scoring goals so we didn't want to push too hard and give up something silly. We would rather go for a 1-0 win than have to rely on scoring two goals to win.
"Our game plan in the second half was pretty much the same. We wanted to stay solid defensively. We wanted to counter and push when we could. And if it was still tied late in the game we would start pushing more."
Austin Peay made 20 shots, eight shots on goal. Bivins led the way with four shots, three shots on goal.
The Lady Bisons managed four shots, with forward Jessica Jordan and midfielder Melissa Chambers each credited with one shot on goal.
Copeland made seven saves for the Lady Bisons. Goalkeeper Sarah Broadbent earned the shutout for Austin Peay with two saves.
"We played with a lot more heart in this game," Parrish said. "It is nice to see them do some of the things we know that they can do."
Austin Peay raised its record to 3-4-1. The Lady Bisons are 0-7-1.

Dreamings-Aboriginal Healing Didjeridu- Cassette
Sale Price:
This item can not be gift wrapped.
Indigenous art form creates a bridge to the world of healing. Music Therapist, percussionist and didjeridu master, Will Seachnasaigh, has lived among the Yolgnu people of Australia's Northwest Territory, studying the ways in which this ancient culture uses music for healing and meditation. The didjeridu, one of the oldest instruments known to humankind, is made from a simple eucalyptus branch hollowed out by termites. The aboriginal Yolgnu are capable of using this haunting horn to put both the player and listener into a deep and meditative healing state. The indigenous musicians who evolved this art used music to create a bridge between the ordinary world and the Dreamtime, a spiritual dimension of being, where the cosmos is given shape and meaning. In the Dreamtime a connection to nature and one's own basic instincts is the source of healing. Each composition on this unique hybrid recording uses didjeridu with specific pitches accompanied by other instrumentation (including Taiko Drums, Water Gongs, Flutes and Fretless Bass) to call forth "musical archetypes" which conjure up the Dreamtime. The tones and rhythms are based upon modern medical understandings about sound's potential for enhancing health and well being.

Stover for Power—Not Just Biofuels
In mid-July, right around the time the area's corn crop was beginning to mature and farmers could start looking ahead to the season's harvest, a number of ethanol producers, farmers and researchers gathered for a daylong meeting at the University of Minnesota to discuss ways to best use the aftermath of the harvest. Corn stover has long been pegged as a potential feedstock for cellulosic ethanol, but this group focused instead on a more immediate application—energy generation. An increasing number of studies are showing that in order for farmers to maintain high yields of corn, some of the remaining stover will need to be removed from the fields. For corn-based ethanol plants this represents an opportunity to displace at least some of their fossil fuel consumption with a renewable resource readily available from their existing corn suppliers. Researchers also believe that it represents an opportunity for new partnerships in the power generation sector.
Power Island
Gasification of biomass is not a new technology. It's relatively easy to install and has been used effectively for generations to produce heat and power for varying-size facilities. While it's not as widely deployed in the U.S., countries across Europe and Japan often install combined heat-and-power (CHP) systems to operate their facilities. The reason for this, of course, is that those countries do not possess the same abundant supplies of cheap fossil fuels as can be found in the U.S. When every strategic move can be boiled down to dollars and cents, it just makes economic sense for U.S. facilities, including ethanol plants, to use the cheapest fuel available to them. In 2008, when natural gas prices soared to painful levels, gasification of biomass was an attractive option for ethanol producers seeking to reduce the cost of their highest input after corn. But in the past couple years, natural gas has regained the lead as the most affordable, widely available fuel for U.S. ethanol producers. As a result, the few producers who had installed biomass gasification systems in 2008-'09 idled their equipment and switched back to the cheaper option. During the conference at the University of Minnesota, researchers proposed a new strategy for ethanol producers to use renewable resources such as corn stover to power their facilities and still profit. They believe that by partnering with entities that have an appetite for short-term losses, ethanol producers can afford to gasify enough corn stover to power their plants and be electricity producers as well.
Wind as an Example
University of Minnesota extension production economist Doug Tiffany is part of a group of renewable energy researchers who analyzed technologies to gasify biomass for steam and electricity generation at ethanol plants. They identified technologies and possible feedstock options fairly quickly, including corn stover, syrup and distillers grains. Many ethanol plants already have power islands that house the power generation units for the facility that could be updated to also produce electricity for sale back to the grid. But the researchers soon found the difficult part of this concept would be to make the improved power island an economic benefit for the ethanol plant. They also needed to find a way to finance the construction of these new islands. They found their inspiration in the wind.
Wind power projects are notoriously expensive to construct and require years of operation to repay the investment. Therefore, those projects require hefty investments up front from parties who have an appetite for tax losses. Power island projects using stover at ethanol plants are expected to experience similar situations regarding up-front capital and sustained losses. Because ethanol plants generally are smaller companies with a group of owners who cannot utilize long-term paper losses, Tiffany suggests modeling corn stover power islands after wind projects by bringing in partners who take on the losses and also have the experience and capability to handle the day-to-day business of power supply contracts. The power island can be siphoned off from the ethanol plant and function as its own entity, allowing the plant to use waste heat produced from the gasification of biomass to power its operations, but protecting its owners from the inherent first few years of loss. "Here's a distinct business and it would have some opportunities for depreciation and use of provisions in the tax code and might be in a better position to negotiate with power companies than an ethanol plant itself," Tiffany explains. "It may be attractive to investors and it may be more attractive to bankers if they're dealing with investors who own the power island. And it may be a very good deal for the ethanol plants themselves, especially if they're rewarded for ethanol that uses steam that came from biomass or electricity that came from biomass."
Major electric companies are an obvious choice to partner with for such a project. Companies such as Florida Power & Light Co. and Xcel Energy Inc. have invested in wind projects and have enough passive income from other operations that can be shielded from taxes by showing losses on renewable energy projects, such as wind. Oftentimes, these companies participate in wind projects by taking a 99 percent share of the valuation of equipment and earnings for the first 10 years, which are the years of largest losses, according to Tiffany. After the first decade, majority ownership flips back to the land owners.
Aside from the tax benefits, power companies may be interested in partnering to produce this form of renewable energy as a way to meet environmental standards. Energy policy in the U.S. is currently fragmented. Some states have initiated renewable energy standards and many expect that a future nationwide energy standard will include requirements for renewable energy generation. Also, companies currently investing in renewable energy stand to benefit from the positive publicity of being an early adopter of this technology. Additionally, ethanol plant power islands serve as a more reliable source of electricity than wind projects, which often produce power only about 35 percent of the time, Tiffany says. "This could run 95 percent of the time. We'd only be stopping the generation of power for repairs and times of the year when there isn't quite as much demand," he says. "In that way, this would be power that would be more attractive for power companies to manage. That's why we were attracted to this whole concept. These ethanol plants are running basically year-round. They have a constant demand for steam or thermal energy and they could be using biomass and be a reliable source of renewable energy. This is a perfect marriage. The ethanol plant and the power island essentially need each other. The power island needs to have a place to discharge the heat and drying the distillers grains or doing some cooking at the ethanol plant is a way to use that heat. The corn stover is out there. We need to see some businesses get organized, the farmers themselves, and say they can be contracted to bring in this biomass. That still has to happen, but what we're trying to do is to jump ahead a little bit and determine how some of these things might come together."
Tiffany says that while power companies are certainly prime partner targets for ethanol plant power generation projects, he's also seeing increased interest from municipalities in smaller communities that might be willing to take some losses in order to become part owners of their own reliable power supply. A power island at a 50 MMgy ethanol plant could produce up to 25 megawatts of electricity, enough to service up to 25,000 people, he says. And with ethanol plants already located in rural areas, partnering with those smaller municipalities is an option that makes good sense. A handful of ethanol plants have done this already, but are using natural gas to power the generators and capturing waste heat for process heat.
Simple Economics
Vance Morey, professor of bioproducts and biosystems at the University of Minnesota, admits that ethanol producers are not likely to switch from natural gas to biomass as long as natural gas prices stay low. Not unless they entertain the option of becoming electricity producers as well as users. "The key is the ability to generate electricity and get more efficiency out of the process," he says. "There are two things that I think will make that happen: if the price of natural gas goes up biomass starts to get more attractive, and if we eventually go to some type of carbon credits and low-carbon electricity."
Chippewa Valley Ethanol Co. LLLP in Benson, Minn., was one of the first ethanol plants to adopt biomass gasification when it installed a gasifier at its 48 MMgy plant in 2008. But plant engineer Andy Zurn says the monetization of carbon played a secondary role in the plant's decision to utilize area biomass. "Value for low carbon ethanol is icing on the cake," he says. "Our primary focus is hedging against the cost of natural gas. If the economics relative to natural gas make sense, we'll run the gasifier and spend those energy dollars in our local community. The carbon markets, if they come along, that's gravy."
CVEC installed a Frontline Bioenergy gasifier in 2008 and used it to fire corncobs for cogeneration in 2008 and 2009. The first year's harvest was a small, grassroots production, Zurn says, but in 2009, the operation was expanded to include more farmers and more acres. With the help of a 50-50 funding promise from the USDA's Biomass Crop Assistance Program, CVEC agreed to pay farmers $80 per ton for their cobs, a generous offering in order to convince first-time cob harvesters that participation would be worth their effort. Area farmers signed up and made good on their end of the bargain, but when it came time to pay, BCAP's funding was cut and it backed out of the project. "We went to get our money from BCAP and they said they weren't funding it," Zurn says. "CVEC already had an agreement with these farmers. We already had the corn cobs." CVEC settled on paying farmers $60 per ton for the cobs—$20 less than the farmers expected, but $20 more per ton than CVEC had originally planned on contributing—in order to make up at least somewhat for the federal government's failure. Rightly, CVEC is leery of participating in any future BCAP projects and would likely pay farmers outright for their cobs in future harvests. "If you don't trust that it's going to be there for you, why are you going to do all the work to set up and get the whole logistics supply chain arranged?" Zurn says. "It fooled us once in 2009. We're not going to play that game again."
Despite the less-than-expected pay-out, Zurn says Minnesota farmers would likely participate in cob harvests again. "These farmers are businessmen," he says. If there's additional money to create a new supply stream, which is corn cobs in our world, and it doesn't hurt their business, it just makes good business sense." But CVEC doesn't plan on asking for cobs again until the economics of fuel sources demands it. The plant is set up to switch between biomass and natural gas pretty simply and the biomass gasifier has been shut off since gas prices took a nosedive two years ago. CVEC doesn't currently possess the capability to produce additional electricity for a power partner and the low cost of natural gas doesn't justify the use of cobs to displace fossil fuel right now, Zurn says. In the future, if the plant expands its gasification abilities and entertains the option of becoming a renewable energy generator, switching fuel sources to respond to the lowest cost would be less of an option. Power purchase agreements may require a specific feedstock to be used and deviating from that protocol could void the contract. CVEC may be interested in producing excess power in the future, Zurn says, but that would likely happen only after the plant has met its own power needs for a couple of years and ensured that its system is up to par.
Cellulosic Considerations
University of Minnesota researchers believe that of the three gasification options most readily available at ethanol plants—distillers grains, syrup and corn stover—stover is hands down the best candidate for energy production. But is that still the case when considering stover as a feedstock source for cellulosic ethanol production? How do the two compare?
Morey and Tiffany say that using corn stover as an energy source could provide ethanol producers with some needed experience in handling the biomass. "We wouldn't use nearly as much of it as would be needed for cellulosic ethanol, but this would be the time for us to learn the lessons on how to put together businesses and maybe removal rates and enforce all these things," Tiffany says.
"Some people have some experience collecting stover for feed or livestock bedding, but not large amounts," Morey adds. "I think developing this is a way of getting more people producing stover and starting to develop the technologies and markets for that. It's an interim step." Producers seem to agree with this approach as well. Poet LLC used some of the stover it collected in Iowa last year to feed the gasifier at its 100 MMgy plant in Chancellor, S.D. In August, Poet entered into a project focused on establishing energy grass sources near the Chancellor plant and said it plans to gasify the grasses while scientists perfect the complicated task of producing cellulosic ethanol from them.
Zurn says CVEC isn't really worried about potential feedstock competition from cellulosic producers. "Cellulosic ethanol is coming along so slow and there's a variety of different uphill battles for the cellulosic folks," he says. "We recognize there will be more demand for biomass, but will it be five years from now? Ten years from now? We think that if we can get the local biomass supply system set up, there's probably going to be room for all of us. The whole ethanol world is stacked up against the fossil fuel world. If fossil fuels are dirt cheap, renewable energy is going to be pretty hard pressed without any incentives."

A lot of Open Source development is done for free -- which sounds nice, but developers need to make a living too in order to support themselves & their families. Most any form of development takes a substantial amount of time, so it is always a balancing act between finding employment, keeping overseeing management happy, & making progress on both Open Source interests as well as work which generates income. Finding balance amongst all of these opposing forces is a hard & constant dance. It is not uncommon to short some tasks in order to get others done more quickly. These are the realities of software development everywhere.
The point you should take from this is that the development process is complicated & hazy at best. It is difficult to impossible to know in advance how much time any piece of work will take to complete, & some will do certain tasks more quickly than others.
Does the OpenBSD project require developers to make commitments to what work they will complete? I don't know. From a project management standpoint, I suspect Theo tries to stay on top of anticipated goals along with actual progress made, however, I doubt that any agreement made with individual developers is legally binding. Do developers change jobs while still being official project developers with commit status? I'm sure the answer is yes. Changing jobs is a fact of the industry. Does this change how much time developers can provide to the OpenBSD project? Yes.
So, what is different about Conformal? I don't know other than that a number of experienced OpenBSD project developers have gone to work there, & as a result have left the project altogether. I am sure Theo is not pleased with the number of people leaving, & he is openly voicing displeasure. Could these developers have worked for Conformal AND still be OpenBSD developers?
This question is even harder to answer, & I certainly do not know all details. What you should take away from reading the misc@ thread is that there are some very strong personalities involved who are OpenBSD developers. This is true of most development efforts. Some of those who have broken away to start Conformal also have strong personalities. Currently the two sides disagree, & each has a position they believe is correct. Maybe one is more correct than the other, I don't know.
As we have attempted to elude to here, the differences are large enough between people with sufficiently strong personalities that resolution is not going to happen quickly if ever. I also believe the situation is complicated enough to make labeling as "unethical" far too simplistic a response. We don't know everything involved, & we aren't likely to ever know all the details. Being outsiders, it really isn't any of our business to probe any further other than read what is publicly stated.
All any of us can say with certainty is that it is an unfortunately event for both sides. Nothing more.
Many thanks to the forum regulars who put time and effort into helping others solve their problems.
Sir ocicat , thank you so much for the interesting post.Yes they are great men ! who can deny this ?
Theo disapproved -not of the fork itself- but of the way it has been done : underhand.
As a simple OpenBSD user/enthusiast, I consider Theo on top of those great men. I first saw him on a Business Channel talking to Howard Green who was astonished at him being the first project leader who's not motivated by money .. dialectically then,what could have motivated Theo and Team all these years ?? the backdoor incident & how Theo reponded to it shew something about it.Some men are not for sale.They can sell the world for an ideal.
And we have to support those to preserve that ideal.
I'm only comparing numbers. But the fact remains that OpenBSD while great for firewalls or routers is really marginalized in some aspects by advancing technologies.
If you have a 1TB disk and install OpenBSD then you likely will have a lot of wasted disk because OpenBSD will not add virtualization such as FreeBSD Jails or Solaris Zones. Theo can rant all he wants that virtualization leads to vulnerabilities and therefore he refuses to incorporate it. But looking at the numbers, AIX and FreeBSD have virtualization in the base OS and by the numbers it doesn't matter.
OpenBSD may also have a web server in the base install, but it is Apache 1.3. Does it really matter that the Apache code has been audited and may have had some code changes for it to be in the base install, since that version is mostly a relic?
They claim only two remote holes in the base install, which is great, but as outlined in two cases above, once the server adds additional software such as a newer Apache or something else, those claims become less relevant. And what they do for security, which at one time may have been cutting edge (ProPolice, W^X), other OS's have adopted them too.
It is my firewall and mail server, but to continue making such claims while refusing to merge newer technologies what does it matter given that others have statistically no more vulnerabilities but offer more flexibility?
Many thanks to the forum regulars who put time and effort into helping others solve their problems.
who's still using 4.9 or earlier ??
It does not matter, it does show that OpenBSD has got the same vulnerability as others, nothing special about OpenBSD's security policy here

Granted, the same thing is there on the FreeBSD release packages, but you at least have the option with ports or tracking -stable.
Angry hackers are always invited to discover *more* security holes and express their moral right to help advance IT and Sec , or their human right to undermine a reputation .. :-)
Many forget the size of the project and just want it to provide full security+bleeding edge tech+all that every soul would want :
" You can have anything you waaaaant ,
You can drift you can dream even walk on water anything you want .. "
(What do you want from me , Pink Floyd)
Until then , OpenBSD is what it claims to be : FFS , Free/Functional/Secure.
Nonetheless, OpenBSD does still have unique security features that others don't. For instance, it has several extra malloc() options and other memory protections that are extremely helpful at flushing out bugs. I once tried to run some NetBSD code (encryption code, no less!) on OpenBSD, but it crashed instantly. There were several double free()s and reads past the end of buffers, yet the program ran without complaint on NetBSD. I sent the fixes upstream, of course ☺
Many thanks to the forum regulars who put time and effort into helping others solve their problems.
But does that mean that Linux is more secure then OpenBSD?

Joyelle West, Vermont Wedding Photographer, is available for travel throughout the State of Vermont. This Vermont wedding in the Green Mountains featured a bold color palette of pinks, yellows, and oranges. The ceremony, set against the backdrop of the mountains, was juxtaposed by the reception which featured more vibrant pops of color with bold patterns. Overall, the theme was a fun blend of rustic natural elements with modern decor.

The primary aim of this book is to give as much information about English authors, including American and Colonial writers, as the prescribed limits will admit. An attempt has been made to enhance the interest by introducing such details as tend to illustrate the characters and circumstances of the authors and the manner in which they passed through the world.

What Corruption Looks Like: 87% Of Congressional Reps Supporting Comcast/NBC Merger Got Money From Comcast
from the how-government-work-gets-done dept
Now, this is not to say that those 84 are corrupt. But, as Larry Lessig has pointed out, whether or not there is actual corruption here obscures the point that it certainly looks corrupt, and certainly decreases citizens' willingness to trust that their government is acting in the interests of the people they're supposed to represent.
If anything, this brings more support to the idea that if our elected officials are going to accept large donations from companies and then legislate in their interests, it would make sense to require those elected officials to wear patches indicating who's funding them, a la Nascar uniforms.

Allardyce dismisses Arsenal links with Diame
West Ham manager Sam Allardyce has dismissed speculation that midfielder Mohamed Diame could be set for a move to Arsenal in January.
Diame, who only joined the Hammers in the summer, has a clause in his contract allowing him to leave for £3.5 million during the current transfer window.
That price, coupled with Diame's impressive form during the first half of the season, had led to reports that Arsenal could make a move for the player - but Allardyce has not heard anything from counterpart Arsene Wenger.
"You are always worried about losing players but we have not had a bid from Arsenal for Mo Diame," Allardyce said. "I can't see where he would fit into their side."
West Ham are hoping to add to their squad rather than subtract from it in January, although an initial move for Blackburn's Martin Olsson has not progressed in recent days.
Allardyce added: "We have not made any further bids for Martin Olsson."

Death Results from Outbreak of Antibiotic-Resistant Salmonella
Statement of CSPI Staff Attorney Sarah Klein
Nearly 80 consumers are sick and one has died from a dangerous strain of antibiotic-resistantSalmonella Heidelberg linked to ground turkey products. These strains of Salmonella increase the risk that consumers will face life-threatening illnesses. Infected individuals face longer illnesses, hospitalizations, and more severe consequences.
The Center for Science in the Public Interest petitioned the U.S. Department of Agriculture in May to declare this and three other strains that have caused outbreaks and recalls as "adulterants" under the law. That would trigger new testing for those strains and make it less likely that contaminated products reach consumers.
USDA has a responsibility to move proactively to prevent outbreaks, rather than just responding to them once they occur. Both a USDA declaration of adulteration and government and industry testing for Salmonella should be utilized to address this problem. Furthermore, the Food and Drug Administration could help by stopping the use of antibiotics in healthy farm animals. That would reduce the growth of bacteria resistant to antibiotics used in human medicine.

Feb. 18, 2009
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Celebrating their final regular-season home game donning the Cardinal and Gray, MIT's senior tri-captains each delivered electrifying performances as the Engineers raced past Clark, 97-89. Billy Johnson scorched the nets en route to a career-high 40 points, while Bradley Gampel and Jimmy Bartolotta added monster double-doubles to cement the No. 2 seed for MIT in the NEWMAC Tournament.
Johnson scored 24 in the first half before closing the night as the fourth player in team history to reach 40 in a single game. Bartolotta added 22 points and grabbed a game-high 15 rebounds, while Gampel dropped in a career-high 18 and a game-best 11 assists. Gampel's final dish of the contest set a new single-season record for the Engineers.
MIT (17-8, 8-4) jumped out to a 12-3 lead three minutes into the action as Johnson converted three straight attempts from three-point range. The Engineers kept it going from the outside early, with their first seven field goals all going for three.
Senior Mark Alexander authored a strong effort and made sure the Cougars (10-14, 4-7) stayed in contention despite MIT's hot touch on the offensive end. Alexander scored seven of Clark's first 12 points, while he sank a pair of free throws with 15 minutes left to slice the deficit to two. Although Clark pulled within one field goal on several occasions, the Engineers never relinquished the advantage.
Bartolotta scored his first points of the game with 7:41 remaining in the half to give MIT its biggest lead of the game up to that point at 36-24. A three by Bartolotta stretched the deficit to 16 (46-30) with 2:55 on the clock, while buckets by Chris LoPiano and Brian Vayda reduced the margin to 11. With less than 10 seconds remaining in the half, Alexander killed the crowd with a deep three from the wing, but Gampel's desperation three at the buzzer from 25 feet banked in off the glass, and MIT led 51-40 at the break.
The frenetic pace carried over into the second half where Clark scored the first five points to pull within six. Bartolotta answered with six consecutive points of his own, while MIT slowly swelled the advantage during the middle part of the frame. Johnson's jumper in the paint with 8:15 remaining yielded Tech's biggest lead of the night at 76-56.
Although MIT appeared in control, the Cougars clawed back behind Alexander and Vayda. The Engineers maintained a double-digit lead for most of the way, but three free throws by Byron Roberts and a jumper by Drew Billington closed the gap to 87-80 with 2:13 to go. After a pair of free throws by Travis Tucker, a Roberts three lowered the deficit to six. Unfortunately, that was close as Clark would get as MIT sealed the win at the line.
Alexander paced five Clark players in double figures with 24 points. Vayda continued his outstanding rookie campaign with 15 points, 13 rebounds, and a game-high three steals while Peter Normandin added 16 points and seven boards. Roberts closed with 14 points and LoPiano chipped in 11. Thirteen different players saw action for Clark, which outscored MIT's bench, 23-10.
