RSBS Presents: A Baseball Fan's Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse
Too often we ignore tough questions and refuse to speculate on the "what ifs" we confront as a baseball loving community. You could make a strong case that this happened with the steroid scandal and it is inevitable that baseball will face other equally difficult problems in the future. Luckily, RSBS refuses to sit back and rest on our laurels. We will continue to push for consideration of all the too real issues facing the baseball community.
For instance, isn't it time that we think about what would happen to baseball if the zombie apocalypse broke out? On a geo-political level, Daniel Drezner already addressed the topic and presented several different paradigms. Today, RSBS takes a look at possible MLB specific scenarios.
The Danny Boyle
As players continue to experiment with various PED's and try to avoid detection by using previously unknown substances, we face a very real possibility of infection à la 28 Days Later. It doesn't help our chances that baseball players are already genetic freaks with practically superhuman strength, speed and dexterity. In this scenario we have two avenues of salvation. First, we can hope that security reacts quickly and shuts down the stadium so the zombie baseball players don't escape. Yes, this probably means several thousand dead fans before the problem can be, uh, eradicated but it's a small price to pay to avoid the annihilation of all mankind. The second possibility is that zombification will affect the players' brains to the point that they can be taken down easily with available weaponry like bats, t-shirt cannons and plastic knives.
The George Romero
The second scenario is a more classic zombie approach. If an infected fan were to enter the ballpark, the tight spaces, confined exits and various nooks and crannies present a zombie wonderland. Or house of horrors depending on whether you're playing for the undead or Team Humanity. In this we're once again lucky to have access to a veritable arsenal of zombie killing treasures and, as long as they remain uninfected, the services of trained head smashing machines like Jose Offerman. Let's just hope it doesn't start at Citizen's Bank Park because Chase Utley's batting average suggests he'll be hitting more air than zombie heads.
The Eisenberg-Pegg
Our final scenario draws on contemporary inspiration like Zombieland and Shaun of the Dead. Zombies are generally seen as terror-inducing eaters of brains. But recent popular culture reinterpretations have shown us that it doesn't necessarily have to be that way. For instance, what if a zombie A-Rod stumbled across the mound while Dallas Braden was pitching? Or what if Manny Ramirez became a reanimated corpse? It might even lead to the new catchphrase, "That's just Manny being a zombie." Which would be funny because it was true. Sure, we'd have to keep an eye on the epidemic and make sure it didn't spread. This might even lead to protests against the segregation of zombie baseball players in separate dressing rooms. But I think we can all agree that the comedic potential is definitely there.
Over here at RSBS we're still hoping that the zombie apocalypse stays firmly rooted in the world of film and fiction. In our opinion, Woody Harrelson and Mr. Darcy are much more suited to zombie fighting than we are. But if the day of reckoning does come, you can rest easy in the knowledge that you were prepared. No, don't thank us. It's our job.

Enlarging the pup001 file in XP (NTFS)
Following directions
and using version 1.0.1 Puppy I downloaded the iso and pup001 file and followed the directions and easily expanded the pup001 file from 262,144k to 762,144k using a 512000000 command in the instructions instead of the 128000000 recomended. I see no reason why it would not accept other commands , as long as you have enough hard drive space (and patience-- no % scrolls or hourglass). Then delete the .bak and extra files as necessary to save space..after assuring all files are transfered to their proper directories.. As for updating to the next level of Puppy, I have not tried it yet..
If you need step by step instructions :
1. Download
the pup001.zip from the puppy-1.0.1 directory at :
[ things seem to download much faster from my location
using their FTP than using ibibilo's ]
2. Unzip
into the XP C: drive
3. Burn the iso
from the same sight onto a Fresh CD.
4. Re-boot
the pc with the cd in the drive and the bios set to boot from CD / A / C:
5. Setup
the system as desired
6. Re-boot without
the CD in the drive .. e.g. back to XP
7. Resizing the pup001 filesize in the NTFS formatted drive :
(Check the size by going to Start / Programs / Accessories /
Windows Explorer / My computer / C\:> and look for the
pup001 file....Click - View / Details -)
a> Access the command prompt (e.g. Start / Programs /
Accessories / Curser {there's a reason for the name})
c:\nomatterwhat> cd\
c:> fsutil file createnew pupextra 512000000 {input your
desired expansion size here in bytes}
c:> copy/b pup001 pup001.bak
c:> copy/b pup001+pupextra pup001
c:> exit
8. ShutDown the XP system
, I did a cold boot from here.
9. Re-Boot with the Version 1.0.1 Puppy in the CD
10. Start / Utilities / Resize /root filesystem
11. Press the "Continue" button
--- Puppy will automatically re-boot
12. Done..
You may wish to repeat the process to add more space
for Puppy Unleashed and or other DotPups or PupGet
No credit is due here, I only followed instructions given in the
program and directions within Puppy. I only put it down in
step by step format.. I did this with a virgin XP Pro system
using a 4.2 Gig Hard Drive with 128M ram. I did not even load
the drivers for XP on the system (e.g. audio / vidio / etc...) I
used CD's entirely to do this , not even connected to the Internet
with the PC tested..
You still need the Puppy 1.0.1 Version CD you Burned to boot your system in PuppyLinux. It only saves added applications / files / settings / and expands your capabilities in Puppy while 'scabbing' off the 'TaDa' file system..
I do hope this helps someone , somewhere , sometime . Later,
There are no luggage racks on a Hearse!

A warning also.
In another thread, a couple of people have reported Pup 1.0.2 causing the NTFS filesystem to become corrupted -- they were able to fix it by booting Win XP, but that is NOT GOOD.
This is a 2.6 kernel problem.
Pup 1.0.1 uses 2.4 kernel (with a NTFS patch) and Pup 1.0.3 will also use a 2.4 kernel.
So, don't use 1.0.2, either go back to 1.0.1 or wait for 1.0.3.

You can see the actual file size from Windows.
If you then start puppy you can type the following in a console terminal (rxvt)
df -h
You will see a line similar to the following
/dev/loop1 247.9M 142.4M 92.8M 61% /root
The first number is the actual size of /root.
In puppy /root is stored in Pup001
So the size of /root is the size of your Pup001 file.

Regarding the howto steps posted above for NTFS, see the News page -- for 13th July I think -- steps 10, 11, 12 will not be needed for Puppy 1.0.4.
That is, just resize the file in XP, then boot Puppy. That's it.

There seems to be a
bug in the rc.sysinit script in Puppy 1.0.4.
Here is what I had to do to successfully resize:
1. Resize the pup001 in XP as indicated in step 7 of the first post in this thread.
2. Start puppy using option 3 and selecting not to save to HD
3. Mount the XP partition. e.g.
mount -t ntfs /dev/hda1 /mnt/home
4. Manually rezise the partition inside the pup001 file:
resize2fs -pf /mnt/home/pup001
5. Reboot puppy as regularly. (this time I did not get any error messages)
6. Confirmed the size of /root using de command line:
df -h

Thanks rarsa. Resizing worked fine on my pc several times with PakRat's instructions only. Then along comes 105 and no more resizing. The 'failed' (in red) to resize error came up at boot time. So I swore.
I had resized 104 so I tried doing this again from the downloaded iso. It was no longer possible. I thought it was ntfs corruption so deleted the puppy files and defragged the disk. No 'failed' error at boot but no actual resizing either. I use xp for very little (now that I have a dvd player) so I rebuilt the disk from the xp recovery/install cd. No change in result.
So the disk had had a new image written to it by norton ghost from the cd (not for the first time) but it still had this error. I swore again. Twice.
Followed your instructions and hey presto. Now I can start to remaster 105.

this keeps saying something like:
*** glibc detected *** double free or corruption (!prev): 0x0805ae78 ***
but the errors are fixed on the next boot and everything works fine (and the partition is enlarged)

Will this work for 1.0.5 ?
Also, several places refer to the pup001.zip file on the download site but it is not there.
Need it for 1.0.5 to work on a HP Pavilion set up for WinXP (NTFS).
Thanks! doc
Thanks! David

Art Glass Pendant - Poppy Sakura Art Glass Bead Sterling Silver Pendant - Classic Collection
The pendant was created with one of my unique lampwork glass beads. The glass piece showcases my signature style flowers and the thick coat of clear glass brings the depth of the design to life!
This highly detailed glass pendant was created for my Classic Collection. It would happily accompany any style of outfit, adding the extra sparkle and providing you with a little glass world to contemplate any time of the day!
Size: 40cm - 43cm (adjustable)
~~ Gift Wrapping ~~
All my jewellery comes wrapped up ready to be gifted!
~~ General Info ~~
All metal chain and findings are sterling silver.
Each piece of jewellery is stamped with my 'jewellery maker's stamp' which is obligatory in France when using precious metals. This stamp is unique (each jewellery makers has his own), so only my jewellery is marked by it!
Also, all necklaces and bracelets are signed with my little sterling silver signature tags (see photo).
I create all the glass beads featured in my jewellery one by one. I love to develop and work with multiple glassworking techniques to create 3D nature-related elements, mainly varieties of glass flowers, submerged in thick layers of clear glass to amplify all the tiny details. The flowers and butterflies wouldn't be anything without the colours, which I intensively study all the time to create one magical colour combination after another.
All my glass beads are annealed and cleaned properly and made by me on 1/16 mandrels with CiM, Lauscha, Effetre and Vetrofond glass.

You'd think with all the food that appears on this blog that there would be clouds of flour and aromas of cinnamon wafting throughout my home. But, like everyone, I'm scrambling to find the balance of working, blogging and family life.
One year, I made over 500 cookies before Christmas for friends and family. This year, I was able to pull off a batch of gingerbread and shortbread!
My girls love decorating gingerbread cookies. So one night we spread out all the sprinkles I've collected and tinted some white icing with food coloring. We have cute gingerbread men, gingerbread Dr. Seuss characters, ghoulish ones with missing legs, and ones with more icing and sprinkles than cookie for the sweet tooth in the bunch (my youngest).
So, though our cookie jar isn't overflowing, we have a table that's still sprinkled with dragees, sugar and dried icing. But best of all we have sweet memories.
Recipe for Gingerbread
From Epicurious
Makes about 50 regular-sized gingerbread cookies
6 cups (about) flour
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1½ teaspoons ground cloves
¾ teaspoon salt
11 tablespoon (1 stick plus 3 tablespoons) unsalted butter, room temperature
2/3 cup solid vegetable shortening
1 cup sugar
1 cup mild-flavored (light) molasses
1½ teaspoons grated lemon peel
1 large egg
¼ cup buttermilk
2 teaspoons water
1 teaspoon soda
Whisk 5¼ cups flour, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and salt in a bowl.
Using a stand mixer, blend the butter and shortening. Add sugar, molasses, and lemon peel and beat until smooth. Beat in egg and buttermilk.
Blend 2 teaspoons water with soda. Beat into butter mixture. In two additions, beat in flour mixture. Add more flour, ¼ cup at a time, until the dough feels slightly firm.
Divide dough into three equal disks. Wrap them and chill until firm enough to roll, at least 2 hours. (Can be made 2 days ahead. Keep refrigerated. Soften slightly before rolling out.)
Roll out one disk of dough at a time, between sheets of waxed paper.
Either cut the dough using cookie cutters (or another shape) or press the dough into a heat-resistant shot glass or silicon shot glasses. (See blog post for Gingerbread Cookie Cups.) Chill the dough again before baking. (Cutout cookies can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and keep chilled.)
Preheat oven to 350°F. Bake cookies for 10-12 minutes, turning the pan halfway through the baking time.

Happy New Year everyone! Lets talk about our goals –or let's be more specific- hair goals! We all have something we've been trying far too long to fix with our manes — such as frizz, a tedious morning blow-dry routine, or locks that won't hold curls. Lets make 2017 the year we have or best hair yet; it will boost your confidence and make you feel better than ever!
Use Make Up Primer to Combat Fizz: We're pretty sure you never heard this one before, but it really works! Primer contains silicone, an ingredient commonly used in hair products to create a smooth surface. The Glo∙Minerals Face Primer ($16.99) could be a great option to fight against humidity to keep your hair looking fresh and fab.Did you know that masks are not only for the face: Because hair that touches your shoulders or beyond can be several years old, which means we definitely need to take real care of it. We suggest using moisture-based masks and oils weekly. The Agadir Argan Oil Moisture Masque ($0.59) contains Keratin Protein and provides a sulfate-free anti color fade treatment for long lasting hair color. This moisturizing product provides deep repair to smooth, strengthen, protect for hair that shines. Repairs badly damaged hair from the effect of hot tools and chemical services in just a few treatments.
Meet your new best friend, dry shampoo: Is like magic on a small bottle. Trust us, one of the best ways to extend the blowout without letting your hair turn greasy is to apply dry shampoo to the roots, around the ears, and at the nape of the neck. Then massage it in, brush it down, or blast it with a blow-dryer. Your hair is perfect again.

It's a sad day in all Sims' lives when they lose a loved one. Seth suffers the heartbreak that has come from Holly passing away first. The grim reaper comes by and, as Seth looks on with eyes full of tears, Holly is drawn into an urn. All of her inventory items transfer to Seth because, of all the Sims remaining on the lot, he has the highest relationship score with her. That's the only transfer of items or money, though; unlike previous games, no one gets paid out any insurance money.
Once the death process is complete, Death sometimes hangs out around the house for no real reason. This time, he opts to leave immediately, which is just fine to the grieving Seth. He uses the urn and pulls up a pie menu, writing an epitaph for Holly and mourning her. He can also pick up the urn and take it to the cemetery, giving her a nice burial instead, but he opts to just move the urn to the desk in the bedroom.
While that keeps Holly close, though, that may keep her a bit too close. Holly now has a chance of reappearing as a ghost after 11pm now and then. She scares the bejeezus out of most Sims (those with the Daredevil or Evil trait are immune), but she doesn't actually do anything bad. She'll randomly do actions around the house, though she might wake up one of the other Sims and wind up and ruin their otherwise good night's sleep. Beyond though, any haunting she does is not even remotely destructive.
Days pass, and Seth passes away too. This upsets both sisters, but Fiona especially takes it hard as she doesn't have Shannon's ability to swipe stuff to grieve. Shortly after Seth's death, Fiona gets a call… the science lab down the street has an offer. It seems that death, regardless of reason, is not a permanent state here in Sunset Valley.
Fiona picks up both of her parents' urns and heads on over to the science lab. She's given the option which one to resurrect, and she chooses Seth first. The machine doesn't quite function as she was hoping, but Seth is indeed resurrected… just as a playable ghost! Ghosts who are resurrected remain ghosts by appearance, but they are fully playable like any other Sim. They can have jobs, make money, go shopping, have romances, and make babies. Yes, make babies… and a ghost parent has a chance of making a ghost baby offspring. Scary, huh?
Now that the machine is unlocked at the science lab, the Schultzes can take anyone's remains over there to get resurrected… but it will cost $5000 from now on. The Schultzes have over $15,000 in reserve at this point due in most part to Shannon's efforts to steal everything that isn't nailed down, so Fiona goes ahead and pays the fee. Seth and Holly reunite, and the household is four-strong once more!
Seth and Holly retain everything they had from before, including any fulfilled wishes, Lifetime Happiness Points, superpowers, traits, and skills. However, they lose any job they held, so Seth is no longer a retired astronaut. He gets bored, and he's already been in the military field, so he decides to just stay home and garden. Meanwhile, Holly, retaining all her writing skills, will get a job in the journalism career track. Hey, if you can walk through walls, you can get some great exclusive interviews, huh?
Ghosts will age as normal, although resurrected ghosts can return to their afterlife at anytime using the gravestone in their inventories. Think of it as an instant one-way bus ticket back to where they belong!

Summary and Keywords
Federalism refers to the constitutional and political structure of the United States of America, according to which political power is divided among multiple levels of government: the national level of government (also referred to as the "federal" or "general" government) and that of the states. It is a multilayered system of government that reserves some powers to component entities while also establishing an overarching level of government with a specified domain of authority. The structures of federalism are set forth in the Constitution of the United States, although some related ideas and practices predated the founding period and others have developed since. The balance between federal and state power has shifted throughout U.S. history, with assertions of broad national power meeting challenges from supporters of states' rights and state sovereignty. Federalism is a fundamental value of the American political system, and it has been a controversial political and legal question since the founding period.

EDMONTON, Alberta, Dec. 20 (UPI) -- Drew Miller's goal with less than 5 minutes left in the game Monday lifted the Detroit Red Wings to a 3-2 decision over Edmonton.
With the score tied 2-2 late in the third period, Niklas Lidstrom unleashed a slap shot from the point that Miller tipped past Nikolai Khabibulin with 4:15 remaining, and the Red Wings hung on for their eighth straight win over the Oilers.
Danny Cleary and Jiri Hudler scored and Jimmy Howard turned aside 21-of-23 shots as Detroit improved to 12-3-0 in its last 15 games.
Ryan Jones and Jordan Eberle scored for Edmonton, which lost for the fourth time in seven contests.
Khabibulin finished with 25 saves.

Keys to Success When Launching a Transfer Job
1 : 2
|The front- and rear-mounted transfer system shown here is mounted on a
1500-ton mechanical press, with 256 by 96-in. bed, at Metrican Stamping,
Dickson, TN.
The Right Equipment Combination
A new transfer-automation project begins with careful and proper selection of the right press and style of transfer system. Errors made at this stage can prove very costly. Issues to focus on include understanding the impact of link motion to the transfer automation timing and motion profiles, maximizing the range of motion on the transfer automation, accounting for interferences with other equipment around the press, quick-die-change procedures, and selecting the right style of transfer for the application(s).
Here are some of the differences between the two styles of transfer systems.
• Occupies minimal space around the press, as the equipment mostly is positioned inside the press columns;
• An efficient design allows the system to move less of its own mass than does a front- and rear-mount transfer;
• It has bars running only through the die area, which remains wide open and optimizes accessibility when it comes time to perform die maintenance and adjust the transfer fingers.
A common method for mounting end-of-arm tooling is use of a common plate located on the bars—which includes several fixed finger stations—shown here mounted on the inside face of the transfer rail of a front- and rear-mounted
transfer system.
• The small press window restricts part width;
• Less flexibility with respect to the independent motion of the front-to-back rails;
• Often, the press window must be enlarged, which can add cost to a new press;
• Often not well suited to the retrofit market;
• Can be difficult to adapt for take-over transfer work, possibly requiring significant modifications to the tooling and transfer fingers.
Front- and Rear-mount—Advantages
• Mounts on any style of press, including presses lacking windows;
• Fully independent head control—front rail can run a completely different motion profile to the rear rails;
• Typically has a larger range of motion than a window-mount system, with infinite passline adjustment and no restrictions due to window size;
• Can be easily adapted to accept emergency or takeover work, using bars and fingers from other transfer systems;
• Deflection rates tend to be less than with a window system, because the transfer rails are held at points in the center;
• Robust design capabilities allow heavy payloads to run at maximum rates.
Front- and Rear-mount—Disadvantages
• Takes up more room on the front and rear of a press, which can be a disadvantage with rolling bolsters and during die changes performed with an overhead crane. Longer tracks are needed to ensure that the bolsters extend past the transfer's footprint.
Teamwork, from Start to Finish
A servo-transfer system mounted on this 250-ton gap-frame press automates stamping of deep-drawn components.
All successful projects start with a room full of the key players selected for the project being on the same page. The metalformer should ask the question, "What can go wrong," of the press supplier, transfer source, die shop and the feed-equipment vendor, as well as his own key personnel. This process sets a tone from the start that finger pointing, once the project gets under, will not be tolerated. This is the time to identify early-on any potential problems that might occur, and to account for them. From this meeting should come a set of master task lists and schedules, to be shared with the team and updated throughout the project.
No vendor can work in isolation from the others. High among the concerns of the companies developing the transfer system and tooling are the motion profiles, tooling interference curves, and motion strokes for optimum tool design and transfer performance. Working together, the vendors must avoid any interference from pins, cam drivers, heel blocks, etc. with the finger tooling during the stamping process.
Other key issues to address include transfer-finger designs and clearances for the end-of-arm tooling in the dies. Perform a transfer-interference analysis and run-at-rate analysis to identify, address and rectify any potential issues during the tool-design phase. Waiting until later in the project to perform these studies can prove very costly. The use of internet-based meetings and online design-review tools allows these meetings to occur cost effectively and successfully. This is particularly true for programs where dies are being built offshore.

First-Hand Experience
Says Murray Brooks, president of tooling supplier J.P. Bowman Tool & Die Ltd., in Brantford, Ontario: "Our experience allows us to candidly tell the customer (stamper) that we would like the option of quoting tooling to run in a transfer system. It opens the door to many more opportunities to produce complex stampings compared to running them in progressive dies. We look for opportunities to implement nesting of blanks to optimize material usage; part rotation within the process to allow parts to be contacted in the ram direction, if required, to minimize costly cam requirements; and increase pitch between parts to allow the use of cams for dimensional control. All of these contribute toward reducing piece-part costs with improved quality and repeatability, opportunities that would not otherwise be possible in a progressive-die process.
"Prior to designing and engineering a production transfer-stamping die," Brooks continues, "the primary requirement is for our customer to provide accurate and current CAD information for the transfer system and the stamping press—press stroke, ram speed and specifications related to the integration of the transfer system to the press. In some cases, with a short press stroke there is insufficient daylight between the upper and lower die assemblies to transfer the part at a desired production rate. This may mean that in order to run a particularly deep part at an acceptable production rate, a press with a longer stroke might be preferred. This allows the equipment to engage the transfer of the part from station to station on the up stroke and drop it off on the down stroke, optimizing the strokes per minute and resulting in a smooth transfer motion.
"All of these parameters," Brooks surmises, "allow an experienced tooling source to develop a stamping process that will not only produce the stamped part with optimum quality, but also to successfully transfer the part in the customer's production equipment with a maximum run rate."
The Key to Speed
Optimizing transfer-press productivity requires specification of the right transfer-system parameters, ensuring that the system has the optimum horsepower in its actuators to run the heaviest parts with the largest motion profiles. The stamper must consider not only its current programs but also any future parts that the press might be required to produce, including potential takeover work.
Drive-train selection software—developed over many years using data from previously developed actuators—is a valuable tool used during this process. Due to the specific nature of transfers, customized application software often is used for specifying drive-train parameters. The stamper must provide the transfer source with accurate information regarding payload weights, which must include any other equipment—receivers, accumulators and other ancillary equipment that will add substantial weight to the transfer bars. The transfer source uses this information, combined with the maximum part weights, to size and select the proper motors, gear heads, pulleys, belts and other components that will comprise the drive train.
Proprietary transfer-system design software allows a vendor to address key issues such as transfer-bar deflection and motion profiles, based on the use of link-motion presses or eccentric. For example, if most of the stamped parts have a very aggressive grip stroke, the stamper can achieve higher run rates with a different bar profile.
Do not underestimate the expected run rates by basing specifications on previous experiences running similar parts on older mechanical transfers. Today's servo transfers have much smoother motion and minimal bar deflection, and can therefore achieve very high run rates not considered possible in the past. Any speed concerns should only center on the capabilities of the press or the die.
Let Your Fingers Do the Walking, But Don't Lose Those Parts
When it comes to designing and developing end-of-arm finger tooling, failure to appreciate the importance of this task and the attention to detail required can cause a stamper to pay the price in run rate, equipment downtime and startup time. Some stampings can easily be transferred at high rates using simple and inexpensive shovel-style tooling. Other parts require the use of pneumatic grippers or magnets to stabilize the part when transferring at high rates. Automation such as servo rotation, part ejection, lateral rotation and linear motion can be added to the transfer rails to manipulate the part, which helps the die designer simplify die design and achieve higher run rates. Tooling with quick-release mechanisms will expedite die changes.
Common methods for mounting end-of-arm tooling:
• Fixed tooling—the bars and fingers are changed out and stored on a rack near the press or with the die.
• Receivers placed in incremental locations on the bars where the end effectors are inserted. This setup is most common on large transfer presses with rolling bolsters and two sets of bars, and offers advantages when running a large number of parts and where minimum die-change times are required.
• A common plate located on the bars that includes several fixed finger stations. These plates typically store on racks located near the press.
Each of these mounting setups has advantages and disadvantages related to cost, flexibility, die-change simplicity and efficiency. Factors that affect the selection include the number of parts being run; bolster size—on some small presses, the bars and fingers can be easily handled manually; part complexity; the footprint of the press cell; storage capacity; and any jobs that might come down the pike in the future.

For those who do not enjoy large crowds, cold snowy weather, walking long distances, this truly was a wonderful opportunity. True, I did not have the privilege of meeting with many of my peers, but for this year I at least had this option. Other advantages included a private restroom without lines, a refrigerator stocked with my favorite foods and drinks, no distractions from fellow attendees, a clear view of the action, it was easier to take notes, and warm, sunny weather. Then there were the cost savings of airfare, hotel room, meals out, other transportation, and purchases from the vendor area.
With over 4,200 attendees at the conference, I can only imagine how many of us took advantage of the free offer to view these sessions from wherever we were. The professionalism of the website and live stream viewing was very impressive. They captured a very Techie atmosphere. The only suggestion I have for next year is to offer a double screen view, so one can view the speaker and the digital presentation at the same time. The screen shots often changed before one could read through them. I loved all the men in their blue shirts
On Thursday, February 2:
Jay L. Verkler, "Inventing the Future, as a Community," shared many upcoming projects for familysearch. He shared how the use of google will facilitate research. That cooperation among developing companies will enhance the research experience. There is a need to preserve the data and make it available.
D. Joshua Taylor spoke about, "Do I Trust the Cloud?" For many of us this is a critical issue. It is an evolving tool, which genealogists should embrace. He emphasized that privacy and security protections are being enhanced.
For all of these and other classes except maybe the keynote speakers of each day, one can download the syllabus for free from the website at: http://rootstech.org/
Free is a very good price for the wealth of information provided in these presentations. Next year, I may choose to attend the conference to enjoy the personal connections with so many wonderful genealogy friends. Thank you again, to all those who make this conference available to the genealogy and technology geeks, as they merge to make family history research the wave of the future.

Complex multi-threaded programs often end up a tangle of interconnected objects or threads. If some parts need to be stopped (such as when a user disconnects), things become complicated. Even the orderly stopping of the entire application becomes difficult: Objects keep referencing other objects that don't exist anymore. That's why you sometimes see programs that crash on an attempt to exit.
Java programmers are bound to chime in at this point and say: "Java programs don't crash!" Right. They just throw the unhandled exceptions.
The issue usually lies in the circular connections: Two objects, each with its thread, are referencing each other. If you try to destroy one, another one might reference it and blow up. It's not always that symmetrical, but that's the gist of the problem.
But Java programmers will likely chime in again and say: "The garbage collection takes care of it!" For one thing, the garbage collection means that there are no proper destructors. The finalize() methods may get delayed for an unknown length of time, until the garbage collector decides to do its sweep. Which is not good for the expensive resources like file descriptors. They still have to be freed manually. For another thing, one object's finalize method would find another object already finalized, and might not like it. So even though things are simpler, careful consideration is still needed, and the approach I present in this article might come in useful.
Java has another useful concept -- weak references. A weak reference refers to an object but doesn't prevent this object from being garbage collected if all the normal strong references to it are gone and the system starts running short of memory. If that has happened, the weak reference would contain null. Copying a weak reference to a strong one works as an atomic act of getting a hold on the object. Deleting the strong reference releases the hold.
Consider a small practical example of a system. Consisting of the following objects, each with its own thread:
- The worker object. It performs some operations on some data. The nature of operations is not important here. There may be multiple objects of this kind. For simplicity, let's consider only one but bear in mind there may be more. At some point this thread exits, and the object is destroyed.
- The RPC listener. This object and its thread listen for incoming TCP/IP connections and creates a new thread for each of them.
- The RPC client objects. Each keeps the context for an RPC client that may issue calls to the worker object. These calls happen in the context of the RPC client thread (i.e., they aren't somehow queued for the worker object thread to process). This thread simply calls the methods of the worker object, which somehow synchronize themselves to keep their object consistent. The calls may be used to get the state of the worker or to change its behavior. The RPC client threads don't exit when the worker thread exits. The client may still have some response data buffered to send to the user. Or they may still be useful for doing calls on the other worker objects. Or they may be able to create the new worker objects. There might be a myriad of reasons.
The point here is that the worker object might be "pulled from under" the rest of the objects. And the weak references seem to be a convenient way to implement it.
When the RPC listener gets created, it would be given a weak reference to the worker object. As it creates the client threads, they will be given copies of that weak reference (also weak). Whenever they get a call to process, they would convert the weak reference to a strong one, thus getting a hold on the worker, check if the reference is still valid, and proceed with the call. If the reference is not valid any more, they would return an error code right away. After the call they would release the strong reference, thus releasing the hold. If the worker object gets deleted, it would first go and invalidate all the weak references. If some references are being held, it would have to wait for them to be released first. After that the worker object becomes unaccessible and may be safely destroyed.
This works only as long as the calls are reasonably short. If some call is unbounded in time (such as "wait until the worker enters a certain state"), the RPC client must hold the worker object in some other way and release the reference back to weak before waiting. Otherwise a deadlock would occur.

I wrote about anonymous cyberbullying for The Guardian's Comment Is Free:
Yet all over the web, people operating under the illusion that their identities are thoroughly hidden continue to prove John Gabriel's famous theory of internet behaviour: Normal person + anonymity + audience = total prat.* And too often, particularly when it comes to misogynistic attacks that not only harm women's public reputations but drive them away from participating in online communities, citizens of the internet side with the prats. People become obsessed with hypothetical legal arguments about freedom of speech – even the kind of speech that's never been protected – to the exclusion of looking at a larger, more important question: What kind of internet culture do we want?
And then I wrote about the fake controversy over Michelle Obama wearing shorts over at Broadsheet:
That's right: Michelle Obama wore shorts. In August. To The Grand Canyon. Which is in Arizona. Which is really, really, really hot. And which is also in the United States, where it's been common for women to wear shorts in public for decades. Not seeing the news angle? Neither is any other thinking person, but that didn't stop outlets from the L.A. Times to "The Today Show" from discussing the American people's ostensibly conflicted reaction (unfortunately, most journalists haven't been able to locate an American person willing to express an opinion other than, "Seriously?") or the Huffington Post from asking readers: "Does Michelle Obama have the right to bare legs?" … My favorite part of that poll is that the pro-shorts answer is, "Absolutely! It's so modern!" Shorts. In August. "Modern." Did Peggy Olson sneak in and write that copy? Or Laura Ingalls Wilder, maybe?
Talk about those posts, or anything else your heart desires, in the thread below. 'Cause I am way too lazy to write something new here today as well.
*Gabriel's phrase is, of course, "total fuckwad," but the editor cleaned it up in a delightfully British way for me.

Free online program educates homeowners with water wells
Send a link to a friend
[November 26, 2012]
CHAMPAIGN -- Homeowners in small
communities and rural areas without a public water supply often
don't fully understand how to manage, operate and protect their
private well.
The Private Well Class is a free, step-by-step, online
education program to help well owners understand groundwater basics,
best practices in well care and how to find assistance. It will also
teach well owners how to sample their well, how to interpret sample
results and what they can do to protect their well and source water
from contamination.
The program combines a 10-part online class with live,
interactive webinar events in which the material will be reinforced
and questions answered. Steve Wilson, a groundwater hydrologist with
the Illinois State Water Survey with over 20 years of experience
working with private well owners, will serve as the primary
instructor for the class.
[to top of second column]
The class seeks partners in various sectors to extend the reach
of this initiative and connect with private well owners. State
agencies, local governments and industry professionals alike are
invited to become partners and assist with promoting this free
service. Partners are especially invited to host webinar viewing
events that facilitate questions and answers about local groundwater
For more information, visit the Private Well Class website,
http://www.privatewellclass.org/, or contact

Story highlights
- David Frum says he heard about Paul Ryan pick on Twitter, didn't switch on TV for many hours
- He says cable no longer has corner on breaking news; social media scooping it more and more
- He says cable news must face new reality, get more personality-driven, seek upmarket niche
- Frum: Cable should skip fancy effects, go deep and long in reports, find new relevance
Like many people in the media and political world, I first heard from Twitter the news that Mitt Romney had chosen Paul Ryan as his running mate. The information appeared between 11 p.m. and midnight on a Friday night. The alert was quickly confirmed by multiple news sources on my Twitter feed: TV networks, newspapers, wire services. Like many journalists, I stayed up late that night to write about the decision, filing copy over the next three hours. I was so weary the next morning that I very nearly slept through the broadcast of the actual announcement event in Norfolk, Virginia.
I didn't, quite. And so it was a little less than 12 hours after the breaking of this important political story that I first switched on my TV.
Things move fast in the modern world, so let's cut straight to the point: Cable TV is no longer the place where news breaks, and has not been so for years. Social media have done to cable TV news what cable news, in its day, did to the afternoon editions of big-city papers: shouldered aside its slower and less adaptable predecessor.
In this new world, the distinction between reporters and sources, between media and everybody else, begins to fade away. The correspondent who calls an expert for analysis may find himself on hold while the expert posts her thoughts to her blog for all the world to read. For more than a century, journalists have mediated between knowledge-holders and information consumers. But the Internet is bringing producers and consumers ever more directly into contact, whether the product is steel girders, home mortgages, or breaking news.
What cable news does do, unrivaled, is broadcast images of events to a large global audience. When there's a crowd protesting in Tahrir Square -- or a wildfire raging in southern California -- viewers still turn to cable. Yet how often do such events occur? And how much longer will even that advantage hold? In a world of camera phones, everybody becomes a video journalist. Our images of the violence in Syria all come from locals -- and are available to any media organization that will buy or barter for them.
So what should cable do in such a news environment?
Three things:
1) Accept that the days of "the news is the star" are over. Generic news moves too fast for cable. Nobody will tune to a cable news network unless there is a very compelling reason to tune to that specific network at that particular time. There's only one such reason: "People like to watch the people they like to watch." Everything else is just filler. Like it or not, TV is for personality, not only for information.
2) Go upmarket. Cable news is inescapably a niche market. There are 311 million people in the United States. Even at peak hours, 306 million of them are not watching cable news. At nonpeak hours, 309 million of them are not watching cable news. The 2 million- to 5 million-person cable news audience is made up of unusually smart and curious people, and they should be served appropriate content. The people who can be reached by "dumbing down" TV have already been successfully reached by the Kardashian family.
3) Go deep and long. "'Time, time,' said old King Tut, 'is something I ain't got anything but.'" That funny little poem by Don Marquis also aptly describes cable news. It's got acres and acres of time to fill, 52 minutes an hour, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. As it is, cable news treats that time as a problem to be overcome with sound and visual effects intended to create a feeling (almost always false) of immediacy and urgency. Those effects long ago lost their credibility.
Meanwhile, every day on YouTube some amateur documentarian shows that video can be used to convey ideas and information in interesting and entertaining ways. See the TED lectures, and the Big Think series, and the contrasting videos produced by Paul Ryan for the House budget committee and Austan Goolsbee for the Obama White House. The website SecondDraft.org uses video to correct deceptive reports from the Middle East. The Academy Award-winning documentary "Inside Job" effectively used video to unpack the 2008 financial crisis for a general audience.
Cable TV relishes the confrontation interview. But the public figures that TV wants to interview usually have the poise and practice to sidestep such confrontations. Longer and less confrontational interviews -- such as those Brian Lamb used to do for C-SPAN -- reveal much more than cable TV's mostly misfired attempts at gotcha moments.
In their business-book classic "Barbarians at the Gate," authors Bryan Burrough and John Helyar quote a lament for the Nabisco company. "Some genius invented the Oreo cookie. We're just living off the inheritance." As tough as it is to found a great industry or great company, it is -- in its own way -- even tougher to adapt that industry or company to a new era. It can be done. It has to be done.

You know how it is. You're out on a canyon road, enjoying a nice drive, and then some asshat in a Camaro nearly takes out two cars with an ill-advised pass on a blind curve. This is why we can't have nice things.
This video comes to us from Reddit's r/cars, where redditor humanwire says he got a very quick and nearly disastrous reminder of why he doesn't like to drive Malibu Canyon Road.
He says that as he was driving along, a group of three cars — an M3, a Mazdaspeed3, and a Camaro — came up behind him. Everything seemed fine until the Camaro pulled a Leeroy Jenkins and barreled past his car into the oncoming lane, a move humanwire caught on camera.
A pass that close to a corner is stupid on a good day, and this was even worse because the Camaro nearly hit an oncoming Volvo and that Ford Explorer. I'm amazed he didn't hit anyone. This could have ended so much worse than it did.
I really feel bad for that Explorer driver, who pulled to the side to deal with a completely justifiable freakout. The folks in that Volvo probably felt the same way too.
Hat tip to Carscoops!

Fuse Blocks
Blue Sea Systems 12 Circuit ST-Blade Fuse Block - 5026Item #: 84337
Price: $49.96
Most functions of your RV rely on DC power; that power must be managed. That is where the distribution panels come in. The distribution panel in your RV is a dual function device.
The first function that the distribution panel completes is its job as a fuse box. Much like your fuse box at home, the distribution panel in your RV contains a fuse panel that centralizes all of the dc fuses. Having all of the fuses in one central location simplifies power management as well as diagnosis of any power issues. Most distribution panels come with an easy to read chart with all fuses listed.
The second function of the distribution panel is to house the power converter. The power converter in the distribution panel takes 120 VAC power from your campground and translates it into 12 volt DC power to supply electricity to the distribution panel. The power converter also provides up to 14.6 volts to the main RV battery to facilitate charging of the battery.
Dyers online provides a variety of distribution panels from Parallax Power Supply, Progressive Dynamics and WFCO. The power converters come in both black and brown to fit in with the décor of your RV. In addition to color choices, you have the option to choose from a variety of power requirements. For lower power needs in a small RV we have 12 amp distribution panels as well as 90 amp models for the largest of RVs.
For maximum aesthetic appeal our distribution panels feature main doors that cover the fuse panel and fuse guide. For most models, below the fuse panel door there is a vent where the power converter is located. The power converter generates heat and must be cooled with a fan and therefore needs a vent. Some models of distribution panels are vertically compacted, placing the power converter directly behind the fuse panel. In these models the fan is on the face of the fuse panel and the fuse panel door is vented. If you need a smaller vertical profile, these models from WFCO are the best option.

Harry Hill has announced a new family-fun filled tour kicking off in October coming to Milton Keynes, Aylesbury, Coventry and Oxford.
The award winning comedian will present Harry Hill Kidz Show: How To Be Funny – For Kids!, to mark the release of his brand new kids book in October 2018.
The 11-date tour, jam-packed with laughs for all ages, will kick off at The New Theatre in Oxford on Thursday October 21. This will be followed by a performance at Warwick Arts Centre on Saturday October 23. He comes to Milton Keynes Theatre on Thursday October 28 and Aylesbury Waterside Theatre on Saturday November 3
Harry Hill Kidz Show: How To Be Funny – For Kids!, the first time the revered comedian has taken to the road in five years, ties in with the release of Matt Millz Stands Up, the sequel to Harry's critically lauded kids book, Matt Millz, about the world's youngest comedian who dreams of making it big.
Harry Hill Kidz Show: How To Be Funny – For Kids! will offer hints, tips and anecdotes for children who fancy themselves as a bit of a joker, with the self-styled floppy collared loon Harry Hill on hand to run through his dos and do nots, as well as offering kids the chance to try out their comedy skills.
He said: "I can't tell you how many letters I get from children asking me how you become a stand-up comic, which is partly why I wrote the Matt Millz books. Now I'm taking it to them direct! Brings your jokes and an umbrella – there will be fun!"
Harry Hill is a national treasure who has created some of the most successful TV shows of the last two decades, collecting three BAFTAs, eight British Comedy Awards and a Golden Rose of Montreux along the way. He created the multi award-winning series Harry Hill's TV Burp for ITV, having previously created Harry Hill's Fruit Corner (BBC Radio 4), Harry Hill's Fruit Fancies (BBC2) and the award-winning comedy show Harry Hill (C4).
He is the host of You've Been Framed! (ITV) and recent shows include the award-nominated Harry Hill's Alien Fun Capsule for ITV, and Harry Hill's Tea Time for Sky.
He made seven legendary appearances on The Late Show with David Letterman (CBS), and Harry's last live tour, Sausage Time, took in 40 sell-out dates around the UK. Harry is also a best-selling children's author, and his latest children's book, Matt Millz, was released by Faber in October.

I want to read about floating popup menus that are customized to fit my software (not for a webpage) - in the same manner that Maya does this:
The popup menu should appear on right clicks and I want to know:
When to remove the menu?
How many items are ok to show before the user feels that the menu is to bulky?
How to place the different icons and text buttons for an optimal user experience?
My software can't use keyboard shortcuts - hence the reason to place undo and redo on that menu.
this is a quick sketch of my idea (the mouse cursor is the white in the middle):
I appreciate all hints, links and such that can help me develop this kind of menu....

Seduced by Crimson
Publisher's Summary
There exist those who oppose the Dark Ones: mystics attuned to the earth, the druids. From San Bernadino they come, sending one of their mightiest, their Draige-Uisge. He can shape energy, twist it to harm or heal. But he must have something to bend, and the requisite power can be summoned by one method alone¿and from one source: the beauty Xiao Fei, the Phoenix Tear. Her blood is the key, along with her ecstasy; her union with Patrick means salvation.
Yet in a world of vampires, werewolves and evil untamed, even a kiss can be deadly. Opposition lurks in every shadow, peril in every caress¿and both redemption and oblivion lie in one woman being...seduced by Crimson.

Nothing like as good as the middle three...
This made me really angry! I listen in 1.5 hour chunks, and in the first chunk you get the classic male-rape fantasy - woman forced into sex which is totally mind blowing for her as her traitorous body yearns towards him - shame on this author for promoting such drivel!
Then in the next chunk after she's forgiven him for virtually raping her, they make out in a room full of people. Now maybe they could forget the others but I sure as hell couldn't - it was really uncomfortable and I almost cheered when someone tells then to knock it off - hear hear, say I!
Later, having specifically told us how precious water is in the werewolf tunnels, they make out under the shower - wasting water! Again, maybe they forgot, but I spent the whole time thinking turn the bloody water off!
The ending was flip and this couple never get together just because they want to - there's always the \"we have to save the world through sex\" thing going on. Oh and the heroine is a hemophiliac whose blood heals, and she drips and pours and gushes all over the place, and it's a hell of a long way in before there's any mention of how pale or tired she is.
No, I didn't like this. I'd have chucked the book, but at these prices I feel I have to listen to the bitter end. And with an audio book it's difficult to skip bits!
A disappointment.

Barely minutes after Apple unveiled the iPad Mini, the first tomatoes started flying. Pundits said the iPad Mini is too expensive, it's too small, the screen resolution is pitiful.
None of this will matter. Apple will sell ten gazillion of these things, despite all the naysaying. And in the long run it will be all the more reason for Apple to end up hiding itself inside its walled garden.
Read what other BYTE contributors have to say about the iPad Mini:
I've said before that the short-term success of me-again devices like the iPhone 5 and the new iPads are great for the company and its fans, as long as you don't think too deeply about how it represents a regression for the Cupertino Crusaders. These devices are all entry points into a carefully-manicured walled garden of content, the experience of which has long been Apple's main selling point.
As Android cleans up its act and becomes not just competent, but downright snazzy, and as people become more device agnostic in general, the Apple approach seems increasingly backward. Not because it's still doing it at all--why give up a good thing?--but because it's not also doing anything remotely adventurous in parallel with it. From Apple's point of view, that's fine. It has its market share, gobs of cash, a giant stock value--why torpedo all that when you can just Give The People What They Want?
And by all accounts, people did in fact want a smaller iPad. I know I did. As soon as the announcement broke, I decided a $329 iOS device was well within the realm what I could afford, and so I budgeted accordingly. But what happens when all the useful iterations and form factors of these devices are used up?
What's kept Apple alive despite all the brickbats flung at it, mine included, is how it is not seen as a tech company by its customers. It's a lifestyle company that sells technology, something its competitors either ape incorrectly (Sony) or just plain get wrong (Samsung). That's Apple's line and it plans to stick with it to the bitter end, it seems.
It can't last forever, and for Apple to bank on it unthinkingly without attempting to take at least one bold risk a year is dismaying. Don't tell me a company sitting on that much liquid cash can't afford to lose some of it trying to do something different. Volkswagen realized by the mid-1970s that it couldn't build its business on the back of the Beetle anymore, and so it branched out. Not everything it made was a success, but breaking away from the single iconic thing it was known for helped revitalize the company. Likewise, Apple's big gamble with becoming a lifestyle company paid off, but now it has to follow it up with something other than a new connector on the bottom.
What's worse--and most crucial--is that Apple's own customers won't help it do it. They will gladly buy, in whatever numbers, Apple produces--until a competitor comes along and offers something unheralded. And then those same people will gladly buy the competition, and leave Apple to (sorry, I have to say it) its own devices.
I admire Apple for initially taking a maverick road. But it is doing itself--and its customers--a long-term disservice if it doesn't think about what else to offer other than a smaller or larger version of the same things.
