VMS has had getnameinfo and getaddrinfo since ages, but we haven't been enabling them in the core configuration process. When I do so, a couple of test failures show up in Socket which I've fixed in the attached patch. getaddrinfo.t test 18. This test expects a single result for the lookup of service=80/family=AF_INET/socktype=STREAM, but we were getting two results, one for IPPROTO_TCP and another for IPPROTO_SCTP. Specifying a protocol of IPPROTO_TCP explicitly on input restricts us to one result and should be pretty safe as it's already in use elsewhere in the test script. The call to getaddrinfo with host=localhost/service=ftp/flags=AI_NUMERICHOST/socktype=SOCK_STREAM succeeded but was expected to fail. This smells like an actual bug in the VMS implementation. It kinda looks like they special-cased "localhost" so it's treated exactly like 127.0.0.1 and it considers the host numeric even when it's not. We could reasonably skip this test on VMS, but what I did instead was made it use "cpan.perl.org" instead of "localhost", which produces the expected failure. In getnameinfo.t, calling getnameinfo for a service that does not have a service name registered fails unless you specify NI_NUMERICSERV. It seems some implementations infer NI_NUMERICSERV when there is no service name, and the Linux man page even documents that behavior, but I can't find anything in the standard requiring it and the VMS implementation doesn't do it. So I add NI_NUMERICSERV explicitly to the flags for those cases where we fail to look up a service name. That gets all tests passing (also checked on OS X as well as VMS). Show quoted text

Here is my weekly Cricut Circle entry! I forced myself not to mat the picture, and originally I was going to use a title and journal but I don't think it needs it. Although I hit on the 3 requirement (pink, lace, jewels) it still needs something, I just don't know what…I'll have to think on it for awhile.

Circle Weekly Entry: French Manor Cart
This is my first ever entry for any contest…and the picture just doesn't do it justice. I have black bazzill cardstock, the mirror and corner are both from French Manor and I have beads for lights. The mirror and design are a shimmery silver and the lighter color around the mirror is a soft lavender.

The Old and The New
Last Week:
Spent time with extended family...nice.
Purchased tickets to go to Utah.
Enjoyed a light spattering of rain today - first of the season!
Completed training to volunteer at the animal shelter! Lots of fun!!
Upcoming Week:
The week is empty - let's not confuse it with the possibility of quiet. No, not true, BUT nothing out of the ordinary. Typical driving here, there, and everywhere!

I want to resurrect some of my hobbies and my future dreams...everything has been put on hiatus since Ace came along last October. I've never pretended to be one of those moms that can handle fifty things at once and will suck it up and take their kids everywhere with them. No, I'm not one of those. I hole up at home and focus on surviving the new chaos on a sleep deprived lifestyle.
Now that my babe is almost a year old, it's time to carve out some time for myself, especially since my hubby is dying to play music again. The problem is, I've only dabbled in scrapbooking the past couple years - I used to know everything about everything, and now I'm so far behind. Their are tools and "stuff" that I just have no idea what they are and what they do. I'm so behind the learning curve, it's not even funny.
So, what to do, what to do...spend a butt load of money - buy the Cricut Imagine, try to attend a swarm in Utah (last time I was in Utah was for a CKU many many years ago). What's a swarm? No idea. what goes on? No idea. But, what better way to relearn everything....just jump in and give it a go!

My house has never been broken into (knock on wood) but my grandma's house has. I was actually there when she found out.ReplyDelete

I'm thankful that hasn't happened to me. It sounds so scary... and I wouldn't know how to feel after that. Chile is not dangerous. And 10 years ago it was really safe! No crazy crimes. Right now things are getting bad, but still I feel safe at my house.ReplyDeleteReplies
You're so lucky that you've never had to experience it. It made me feel scared, invaded and paranoid. It really isn't a pleasant feeling. I hope that it's not something that many people have to experience.Delete
I'm glad you feel safe. I hope that feeling remains forever and ever!
Thanks Melissa!
Thank god that has never happened to me, touch wood but I can only imagine how it feels. It must feel so strange to have to go back but I'm glad that everyone(including the cat) is safe. Be careful S! xx NikitaReplyDelete

This is tough. Robber is one of the most violating crimes. For someone to come in and forcefully steal all you've worked for is very hurtful. I'm glad your family is safe. I haven't experienced robbery but i have family members who have.ReplyDelete
Wow, I hope everything is ok. I got a real shock when I saw the title!ReplyDelete
I'm so glad you and your family are safe. So sorry this happened to you though. That's very scary.ReplyDelete
Oh my! I'm sorry to hear this happened. I'm happy to hear that nobody got hurt. It's so unfortunate that crimes like this happen all around the world.ReplyDelete
-Leta | The Nerdy Me
I'm happy that you weren't there and anybody from your family got hurt!ReplyDelete
Robbery is not usual in Spain, but in my village, sometimes has happened because there are a lot of second residences of people from cities and the thief know there would be valuable things. Other kind of crimes happens, too, but sporadic cases, we should think that is a safe country (but unfortunately, due the terrorist attack in Barcelona last week I'm still wooried :( ...)Replies
Me too, C! It could have been so much worse which makes me grateful that all my family and pets were okay.Delete
I'm very happy for you, that crime is sporadic where you live and not an everyday eventuality like it is here.
No where is safe either when it comes to terrorism from what it looks like; Just be aware of your surroundings at all times and try to stay safe, C! Terrorism is very scary!
I can remember that my house was broken into when I was 6 years old in Nigeria, and it's one of the terrible incidents that send chills down my spine whenever I remember it. I'm happy no one was hurt too because my Neighbour's dad was killed that day.ReplyDelete
My boyfriend is South African and his family have emigrated to the uk (hence how we met). I've lived in the same tiny village my whole life. He found moving out here and our rural attitudes to security very stressful to start with and I can see why! South Africa's crime rate is seriously scary. Really glad to hear your family are ok and everything that was taken is easy to replace! XReplyDeleteReplies
Where in South Africa is your boyfriend from?Delete
Yeah, I can imagine how he must of felt! We're not used to having low (or no) fences, no electric fences or alarms! I'd find that very stressful, too! I hope he's adjusted better now and is more at ease.
Luckily, everything they took is replaceable. That's something to be grateful for!
Thanks Amber!
To be honest,I at first didn't think of South Africa as a place of crime up until I went on my Caribbean Christmas Cruise(alliteration,hehe)last year, where the ship's sort of jewellery seller(I don't know what the profession is exactly called) mentioned crimes committed in the country. Sorry to hear that your grandmother wasn't so lucky and I hope she retrieved all the items which were stolen.ReplyDelete

My boyfriends student house was almost robbed once while we were in it! We were literally all asleep in the house when his housemate who lived in the room by the front door heard footsteps. Knowing we had all gone to bed he got up to have a look. Scared the guy who ran past him out the door. He only managed to grab an ipad that he later ditched knowing find my iphone could probably track him down.ReplyDelete
But the whole thing freaked me out for ages. Knowing we were just up stairs while this man was downstairs. And fast asleep just completely oblivious. It's a really horrible feeling knowing some stranger has been in your home.

Amblin' Alameda: The Aliens Are Among Us
Amblin' Alameda: The Aliens Are Among Us
I can't be the only one who has noticed this disturbing set of occurrences but, if I am, consider this a sounding of the alarm. The Aliens are among us and they are taking over. I can tell this from the commercials on TV - more and more of the ads are in a language I do not understand. It sounds like English but contains words and references to things I know nothing about, things having to do with hand-held devices shown in the hands of smiling, very young people, communicating their alien desires to each other.
I am moved to write, to cry out, to shout from the rooftops because the commercials are proliferating - from communication devices to autos equipped with heaven knows what gadgets, because I certainly don't. They use acronyms as though everyone understands them. Everyone being their fellow aliens.
Somehow the aliens all appear to be young, late teens or twenty-somethings communicating in tweet-speak or some such. WTF (where's the futon?) OMG (outside my garage?) and other such insidious references. When I was young, all the aliens were old and wrinkled and made no sense at all. Now the tables have been turned, and the only ones who know what's going on are young and fresh-faced and walking around with tablets in their hands, eyes glued to screens and thumbs dancing over them. Thumbs, I might point out, that are smaller and more agile than the thumbs on my hands.
I just don't know how I missed the headlines. You'd think that when our world is being taken over by a totally alien species there would be some uproar but the old people are naively complicit in the revolution. Whenever we (the old people) have a problem with our computer or our cell phone or our tablet, what do we do? We look around for the nearest young-looking alien creature to come and fix it. And fix it they do. But to whose benefit?
It may be too late already. I'll have to finish this later, after my sweetie's 10-year-old granddaughter comes by to "clean up" my computer.
Perhaps I worry needlessly, but if not, we're all doomed. Start learning Martian now.

When I hear that stupid name, "Yahoo!" I immediately think of all the second-rate web services to which it is attached, chief amongst them being "Yahoo Groups". Sadly, certain bits of audio kit that I use have their user forums on this strictly second-rate service, and it is a real problem.
PS: Is anyone as stupid as Jerry Yang? How many businessmen can boast of having made a decision as bad as Yang did by declining Steve Ballmer's $45.5bn?
Serves him right.

La Bohème | Notes on Living
Surely he has borne our infirmities and carried our sorrows'
–Isaiah 53.4
Art is common, and so is death. But the combination of the two tells us something different about life each time, for it moves us to ponder the realities of human fragility more deeply, and to contemplate the possibility that fragility is the portal of strength of a different nature.
Puccini's La Bohème is one of the crowning works of the operatic repertoire. Unlike the stream of parallel narratives of jealousy, betrayal, revenge and murder that pervade most of the classics, La Bohème is atypically moving because it is infused with the return to the eternity of truth.
Having been away, a pilgrim on the ways of love, Mimì returns a dying woman to the base of the stairwell of Rodolfo's home. Knowing this is the end of her life, she comes to the threshold of the one who has guarded the preciousness of their love. The winter is passed, and spring returns. It is as if the difficult part of her life is passing conversely with the chilling darkness of what lies ahead.
She lies there, in the grips of a final sickness, reminiscing the origins of this innocent love. The paradox is palpable. Their life of hardship and privation becomes the prequel to peace. All the poverty, the jealousy, the search of love, is brought together in a profound moment of sincerity that transcends the human and aspires to eternity. If human love is the veiled glimpse of divinity, then the elements are all here, and in the right order: supplication, discovery, total trust, fruitful generosity, agony, and peace.
Mimì makes a kind of final confession
Have they gone? I pretended
to sleep because I wanted to be
left alone with you.
I have many things I want
to tell you, well only one,
but it's huge as the ocean,
as deep and infinite as the sea…
She remembers the first encounter with Rodolfo, and how then he held her cold stiff hands. All jealousy vanishes, and initial innocence returns center stage.
Musetta, who is cast as Mimì's rival in life and love, stands on the side and gives away her earrings to pay a doctor, to buy Mimi a fur cuff to warm her hands at this final hour.
Rodolfo sings in piercing disbelief that death might come to claim Mimi. He holds her frigid body, and weeps as she sings back his first words to her. Paradoxically, he sings of sunrise.
And then we hear the angelic last words from one who reminds them all of the eternity of love, and that perfection of friendship we call charity — that desire of the another's happiness
You are crying? I am fine…
Why are you crying like this?
As this epic veiled commentary on eternity unfolds, even the self-assured cry for help. Musetta sets aside her flamboyant ways to pray as perhaps she never has before
Blessed Madonna,
Please have mercy on
this poor little soul,
so she does not have to die…
…and that she will recover.
Holy Virgin, I am
unworthy of forgiveness,
while instead Mimì is an
angel from heaven.
In the helpless waste of life — that existential and material poverty that seems to surround her death, Mimì is provided for. They place the muff on her hands, the fire is still burning, and warmth covers her as though for the first time. She sighs in peace.
I am fine.
And yet, she dies.
So no, she was not fine — in the purely physical sense of 'fine'. But that is not the full story.
The power of innocence, if preserved and effectively communicated in artistic expression, gives us lessons from death beds that are unlike many others. For one, the reality of death is bilateral: it is an experience divided between torment and peace, or united when there is peace in torment. No clearer is this than in those closing lyrics uttered with shrill beauty by one of opera's great leading women, who moves us to to see that death is not an end, but the departure from veiled images to the truth of things.
But it is clear that however masterfully rendered the human drama might be, it is grace that plays the leading role here. When all seems to be lost, intercession wins over jealousy, generosity over poverty, grace over despair, innocence over the darkness of human agony — and love deepens as truth is revealed.
None of the brutality of death disappears; it is all as harsh as ever, and there is no saccharine pretension of peace. But the sting of death is consumed in the warmth of that final moment. Light begins to shine through the window, flooding the misery of that place with radiance, as Mimì's soul departs the world. It is the purity of that light that betrays the final purity of that soul — of hope's victory in that soul.
Only as he sees the piercing ray and thinks her asleep, does Rodolfo turn around to realize her death. In this order, the luminosity of hope precedes the searing agony of Rodolfo's grief. The shadows lift and the light blazes. The strength of eternal beatitude, and its claim on death, remains undefeated.
We are left transfixed, because the horror of so visceral a parting is stunningly beautiful.
And we ask how, just how can this be?
Surely he has borne our infirmities and carried our sorrows'
–Isaiah 53.4
The prophetic words of Isaiah leave nothing to the imagination or to chance. There is infirmity. And there is sorrow. Wrenching infirmity, and agonizing sorrow. And yet there is also One who as God came in the flesh to bear it, so that our human fragility is elevated beyond incapacity, and beyond despair.
The parting pains are indeed unbearable, and the varied forms of human suffering — the daily deaths and the final ones — steal life away. But not all of it. Should we begin to live with this expectant hope, then, like St, Paul, we would live true to that expectation of beatitude — 'We ourselves, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait for adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies. (cf. Romans 8.23)'.
The paradox of hope is not that it magically makes us immune to our fragility — sparing us pain — but rather, that hope makes infirmity bearable, and agony livable. We suffer from a saccharine trivialization of hope that does not stand the test of real agony, and so often self-destructs. Real hope is rooted in the strength of the One Isaiah prophesied — The Christ, who, unlike us, has power over life, and over death.
It is this hope that asks permission to enter the modern tormented heart — this hope that fuses torment to peace, even as death nears. And it is Christ who prepares us for a greater love — prepares us for the final act of the opera of our lives. His grace prepares us to die — and not just to die, but to die as He did, victorious. Because a death we are not prepared for, a death that is apart from the hope of life, is not worth dying.
Should we receive this hope, we might hear uttered that shattering cry, that salvific prophesy as the curtain falls
You are fine…
Why are you crying like this?
And others might turn to see a stunning peace.
And seeing, perhaps believe.
And believing, live.
Because if He bears our sorrows not, who could? Who could!

The value of Preschool Ballet
This blog will look at why it's important for you to see value in your child's pre-ballet and beginning ballet classes.
You have LOTS of options for extracurricular activities these days, even for pre-school aged children and younger! While at a young age, most extracurricular activities provide a lot of the same benefits to children (social interaction, following instructions, etc.), but our preschool ballet programme is designed to offer something a little extra special
- We run our preschool sessions on a theme – The Nutcracker or Cinderella or the Enchanted Forest and so we hold short, 5-10 minute parent observations at the end of every block of sessions
- Each new theme will include a small parent information pack with our objectives – including what your child will be working on in class as well as one or two activities you can practice with your child at home. This allows you to have some fun dance time together at home and also let you see the progress your child is making.
- It may seem like there isn't a lot of technique – but this is by design. They will learn all the basics for their age and appropriate dance level, and we gradually introduce the correct terms and develop their technique once we have the basics – we don't want any overwhelm!
- It is more than just becoming a ballet dancer. Children a learning so much more than helps them OUTSIDE of ballet: interacting with other children, making friends, taking turns, following instructions, and working hard toward a goal, just to name a few.
- We have themed sticker charts and certificates for students at the end of each session – so you can see what they have achieved and also lets our amazing students show their progress. It gives them something to be proud of.
So why not book a place on our next course – January will see us follow the classical ballet Cinderella – 2pm Mondays at Church of the Ascension
Ballet Benefits for Pre-schoolers!
Most of us started dancing simply because we loved it. But did you know ballet provides more benefits to children than just joy of movement?
Our Monday Preschool Ballet class (2pm at Church of the Ascension, Kenton) is not only full of fun but has some fantastic benefits for your children!
- Ballet classes will stretch a child's imagination as they dance the roles of different characters in ballet class. Ballet is telling stories through movement – which is why our preschool classes are based on some classic Ballets and full of story and movement.
- Ballet keeps children moving, which is important and beneficial to the growth and development of their bodies. It helps them to stay active, release extra energy, improve muscle development, core strength and balance, flexibility and joint mobility. It also increases cardiovascular and overall health.
- It relieves stress. Yes, even young children can be stressed. Dance boosts endorphins and has a meditative quality. It's even been called "moving meditation"! (Adults – you can come dance away the stress to with our dance fitness classes!)
- Dancing doesn't just exercise the body; it also exercises the brain! Ballet classes use a lot of classical music, as well as some popular tracks and nursery rhymes. This mix of music challenges the brain and improves memory and interpretation
- Ballet is good for self-esteem and confidence. Aside from learning new skills and improving their ability – the small achievements we celebrate each week are a great way to encourage your child to continue to work and develop each week
- Even small children begin to learn self-discipline as they learn to follow directions and to try their best in class. From waiting their turn for demonstration, to teamwork, and positioning – all of these small parts of class encourage this strong sense of discipline.
- It's fun! Children get to act out roles as they are dancing. Who doesn't want to be a fairy, a prince, a Nutcracker or forest animals!
Why let your child dance?
Dance classes are not just about the kicks, turns, and routines. They have so many more benefits for your child than just the obvious "be a better dancer". I recently read the book 'Partnering Dance and Education' by Judith Lynne Hanna. Though written in 1999 – it still has some important points that are relevant today.
Why learning dance is valuable
- Dance aids the development of "kinesthetic intelligence" – what is that you may ask. Basically it is the capacity to manipulate or handle objects well, and use a variety of physical skills. Being able to move better and with more freedom and skill is a benefit we all should welcome.
- It creates opportunities for self-expression and communication – it helps with their emotional development, and gives them an outlet for emotions when words cannot.
- It teaches creativity, problem solving, risk taking, making judgements outside of "normal life" and higher order thinking. It's thinking outside the box, being open to new ideas and thought – from problem solving as a pre-schooler to helping with exam essays in key stage 3.
- It fosters an individual's ability to better interpret interpersonal nonverbal communication. To read peoples body language, to understand emotions without being told – developing their empathy.
- It develops a respect for other cultures and times – be it classical ballet or modern hip hop, African dance or interpretive contemporary. It teaches appreciation of all things, even if its not "their cup of tea!"
- It enhances their quality of life – mental, physical and emotionally, not just when they are dancing, but the health and enjoyment it has provided long term.
- Its good physical exercise – it gets them moving from a young age, it teaches them to appreciate their health and their bodies, a good school will instill the values of not just rehearsal but nutrition and rest.

RIGA - The World Federation of Free Latvians (WFFL) is urging the Latvian government and the inter-ministerial coordination center to halt any covert attempts to consolidate the positions of Russian as the second state language of Latvia and in the country's education system, including in Latvia's universities and colleges, the WFFL representative in Latvia, Janis Andersons, told LETA. The WFFL and its board chairman, Janis Kukainis, have sent a letter to the inter-ministerial coordination center regarding the pending National Development Plan for 2014-2020, informed Andersons.
In the letter, the WFFL and Kukainis express their appreciation of the fact that such an all-embracing plan has been drafted, which provides a vision of where Latvia's development should be aimed at in the next eight years.
The territory of Latvia is the only place where the Latvian nation has sufficient critical mass for the preservation and development of the Latvian language and culture, and if Latvians fail to sustain their presence in their own country, there will be no Latvian nation. Therefore, the WFFL requests the authors of the document to clearly define the main goal of the existence of the state of Latvia at the very beginning thereof, not on page 31.
At the moment, the National Development Plan's chapter on education says that the teaching process is done in several languages in Latvia, which helps make young people competitive in the international labor market. Further on, the document says that studies in universities and colleges of Latvia are conducted in several languages, and that higher education has become a highly-demanded commodity of Latvia, especially in the Eastern region and CIS countries.
The WFFL believes that the document should unequivocally state that the official European Union languages are meant here, or else the document will 'de facto' legalize bilingualism in Latvia's education system and in the country as a whole.
The WFFL also believes that demographic problems must be given priority in the National Development Plan; at the moment, the document's complex system of family support does not seem to be convincing enough in order to improve the demographic situation in Latvia.
Finally, the WFFL believes that the document should clearly state that Latvia's defense spending will reach 2 percent of gross domestic product by 2020.
Britain warns on Russian interference
Ofcom, the British regulatory and competition authority for the broadcasting, telecommunications and postal industries, has warned Russian TV channels REN TV Baltic and Mir Baltic, both registered in Britain, for airing commercials that urged residents in Latvia to sign a petition demanding that Russian be given the status of an official language in Latvia.
The Latvian Central Election Commission turned to Ofcom after the two TV channels broadcast such commercials in November 2011. The commercials showed the logo of the Central Election Commission and its Web site and said, in Russian: "Visit www.cvk.lv [Election Commission's Web site] to find the nearest poll where you can sign the petition demanding that Russian be given the status of a second official language in Latvia!"
The Election Commission informed Ofcom that the two TV channels had therefore violated the British laws, which prohibit the airing of political advertisements.
Responding to Ofcom's request for additional information, Baltic Media Alliance Limited, (BMA) the holding company that includes REN TV Baltic and Mir Baltic, admitted that it had itself produced the commercials, but said that the videos were "a social message" that had nothing to do with politics.
Ofcom nevertheless established a number of violations on the part of BMA by airing the commercials on the REN TV Baltic and Mir Baltic channels.
Ofcom concluded that the use of the Election Commission's logo could have misled the viewers into believing that the commercials were supported or ordered by the commission, and that the commercials did not attempt to fairly represent all opinions. On the contrary, the videos were biased as they clearly supported the petition demanding the status of an official language for Russian.
As a result, Ofcom warned that there would be sanctions in case of repeat violations by BMA.

No. 12 Virginia Tech, No. 23 N.C State set for ACC tussle
After missing out on an upset of No. 3 Virginia on Tuesday night, No. 23 North Carolina State will try its luck with the Atlantic Coast Conference's other team from the Commonwealth on Saturday.
The Wolfpack host No. 12 Virginia Tech at PNC Arena in Raleigh, each team seeking to burnish its NCAA Tournament resume.
N.C. State (16-5, 4-4) came close to dumping Virginia, wiping out a 14-point second-half deficit and then missing on a chance to force a second overtime. Markell Johnson drew a three-shot foul in the final second, but missed the first foul shot and made the final two. The Cavaliers won 66-65.
"I told the team after the game it's OK to be disappointed," Wolfpack coach Kevin Keatts said. "Certainly, I thought we fought our hearts out."
The result continued a win-lose pattern for N.C. State since the start of conference play. The loss also got a particularly tough part of the schedule off to a less-than-desirable beginning. After Saturday's game, N.C. State has a trip to ninth-ranked North Carolina on Feb. 5.
Devon Daniels, who scored 10 points for the Wolfpack against Virginia, said the team was close to turning the loss into a win.
"There's no moral victories," he said. "But that just tells us we're right there. If we can clean up a few things ... we can win the game."
While N.C. State was playing the what-if game, the Hokies (17-3, 6-2) had no such concerns Wednesday night in Miami. With sophomore Nickeil Alexander-Walker tying a season high with 25 points, Tech closed within a game of the conference lead by dusting Miami 82-70 in Coral Gables.
At this point, the Hokies are playing for a double bye in the conference tournament and a potential top four seed in the NCAA Tournament. The presence of Alexander-Walker, who added six steals, five assists and four rebounds while canning three 3-pointers, gives them a star who can get a bucket any time they need one.
"I think he is a really good player," Tech coach Buzz Williams said. "We are grateful that he's here. He's an unbelievable kid and is very important to our team. At times, I thought he played incredibly well tonight."
Alexander-Walker leads the Hokies with 17.9 points per game, hitting 54.1 percent from the field and 41.8 percent from the 3-point line. Point guard Justin Robinson adds 14.4 points and 5.5 assists, while Ahmed Hill (13.6 ppg) and post Kerry Blackshear Jr. (12.7) also score in double figures.
Virginia Tech is one of the top shooting teams in the country, hitting 42.6 of its 3-point shots and 50.2 percent of its shots overall. It also converts 76 percent of its foul shots and averages 17.1 assists per game.
The Wolfpack aren't quite as efficient offensively but score more points per game than the Hokies, ringing up 84.4 per game, which ranked 14th nationally through Thursday's games. Virginia Tech is averaging 78.8 points per game.

AP Racing Front Black 4 Piston Radi-CAL Brake Kit System, Slotted Rotors (355x32mm) by STILLEN
Ships for free in the 48 states
- Front Kit
- Black 4-Piston Calipers
- Slotted Rotors
- 2-Piece 355x32mm (14"x1.3") Rotors
Choosing the best brake kit for your Subaru Impreza WRX just became extremely easy, with the introduction of the next generation of braking performance; The AP Racing Radi-CAL Brake System by STILLEN.
This show-quality setup will catch anyone's eye, and has the performance to back it up. AP Racing has been dominating the highest level of motorsports for over 50 years, such as Formula 1, NASCAR Sprint Cup, ALMS, World Rally Championship (WRC) and many others.. and most importantly winning. Now you can benefit from this brake technology on your Subaru Impreza WRX, and have the braking confidence formerly available only to top motorsport teams.
The AP Racing designed Radi-CAL calipers are FORGED versus the major competitor's cast calipers. These FORGED calipers are 25% lighter and 20% stronger than cast calipers of the same size in the same performance category. The entire Radi-CAL system was created from the Radi-CAL system designed by AP Racing for Formula 1 and NASCAR.
Taking this born-from-motorsports technology, STILLEN Engineers utilize AP Racing Rotors and the new AP Racing Forged Radi-CAL 4-piston calipers for the front specifically for the 2015 Subaru Impreza WRX. All of the mounting hats and brackets are designed and made in-house at STILLEN's machine shop, using the latest technology in CNC Lathe and Mill machining. Caliper configuration, pad selection and proper rotor sizing are all chosen for the Subaru Impreza WRX to produce maximum braking performance, with a striking look no enthusiast could miss.
Not all brake systems are created equal. In fact, most big brake kits aren't really suited towards heavy track use either. While they usually increase thermal capacity and may solve small fading issues, they generally aren't optimized for hardcore track use. Essex set out to design a couple of brake packages that can take anything thrown at them...and then some.
Everything needed for easy installation is in the box to install the STILLEN manufactured AP Racing Subaru Impreza WRX Radi-CAL Big Brake Kit.
- AP-Racing Radi-CAL Forged Calipers (available in Red or Black)
- AP Racing High Performance Rotors (available in J-Hook, Slotted or Cross-Drilled/Slotted patterns)
- High Performance Brake Pads
- Billet Aluminum Rotor Mounting Hats and Full-Floating Hardware (pre-assembled for easy installation)
- Braided Stainless Steel Brake Lines with Correct Conversion Fittings
- Complete Installation Instructions
Welcome to the best brake kit upgrade system available for the Subaru Impreza WRX.. the AP Racing Radi-CAL Brake Kit by STILLEN.

The work on the new, so far untitled, Four Stories Tall album is well under way. We have 10 songs that we plan on putting on the new album. All of the songs have their basic tracks recorded; some are almost ready for release.
We all grew up buying albums, we grew up listening to albums, most Prog Bands still release albums. But, we realize that the way people buy/download and listen to Music is changing. Most people don't buy/download and listen to Music in the album format any more. So, this time around we're going to take a new approach -we'll be releasing the songs as they are completed. We hope that this gradual release of the album will keep our friends and fans involved and interested.
We're very excited to now have Phil Bush on Guitar. He's an excellent fit, a great Guitar Player, and a hell of a great guy. The new album will contain tracks with Mark Turner, as well as Phil, on Guitar.
FST is looking forward to a fun and productive 2017.
Peace and Love!

While I adore things like the Disney series I did a few years ago, they just aren't practical for daily lunches. Most days are much more simple than that. The post below? This is a more-typical lunch that is still quite cute without crazy amounts of work or special tools to make, just one cute cookie cutter and a few cute food picks.
This lunch features a chicken salad sandwich on whole wheat, topped with a panda cheese cutout. This one is made with a CutezCute cutter, a favorite of mine. Dollar stores, craft stores, etc, have tons of cute, inexpensive cutters.
To the right, there are veggie straws and strawberries/raspberries, accented with a couple of panda food picks. Check out cupcake picks at the dollar stores or craft stores also for ones that match your favorite lunch themes.
How long did this take? Only an extra 30 seconds, if that, to cut out the panda and add the food picks. Finding the panda picks probably took me longer, but I own a scary amount of decorative picks.
Not pictured, lunch included yogurt and an apple for snacks, but those did not have pandas on them.

Suspension of CDC flu tracking raises concern
Robert Roos
CIDRAP News
Oct 11, 2013
With the influenza season approaching and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC's) flu surveillance program suspended by the government shutdown, the lack of national flu data is starting to cause some worries.
The CDC's weekly flu activity report, FluView, is missing today for the second week in a row. That means there's no report on where flu cases are picking up, what strains are circulating, whether they match the strains in the vaccine, and whether they are sensitive to available antiviral drugs, among other things.
CDC officials announced on Oct 1, when the shutdown began, that they would not be monitoring flu activity during the hiatus. "Due to the lapse in government funding, regular updates to the CDC Influenza web site, including the weekly FluView report and updates to guidance for clinicians, will not be possible," says a statement on the CDC's Flu Activity and Surveillance Web page.
"CDC will not be routinely analyzing surveillance data nor testing laboratory specimens submitted as part of routine surveillance. Support for outbreak investigations and response to public queries regarding influenza circulation and prevention will be limited during this time."
That doesn't mean the agency has stopped all of its flu-related efforts. CDC spokesman Tom Skinner told CIDRAP News today, "CDC continues to provide limited support for respiratory disease/influenza outbreak investigations, and emergency processing of influenza laboratory samples for potential pandemic strains, to comply with International Health Regulations [IHR]."

I've been photographing him every 3 months for his milestone session, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months and finally one year old. We did his first birthday session with a cake smash! He did so good!

Have you experienced bigotry or discrimination in the United States due to your atheism? The Openly Secular project wants to hear from you!
Here's the press release that was posted today on the Secular Student Alliance website:
SSA Joins "Openly Secular" Coalition With Goal of Fighting Discrimination
New Coalition Formed to Highlight and Overcome Discrimination Against Nonreligious & Atheists
Group Calls Itself "Openly Secular";
Makes Call To Action for Victims to Share Their Stories
Columbus, Ohio – The Secular Student Alliance has partnered with a coalition of secular groups to form a new organization called Openly Secular. The goal is to highlight and overcome discrimination in America.
Atheists and other nonreligious people not only face discrimination on a regular basis, but the prejudice often goes unrecognized because it can be socially acceptable to distrust those outside the majority religious faith. A Gallup poll in 2012 found almost half of Americans would vote against a well-qualified presidential candidate from their party, if that person was an atheist.
"Our mission is to is to eliminate discrimination and increase acceptance by getting atheists, freethinkers, agnostics, humanists and all nonreligious people to be open about their beliefs," said Todd Stiefel, Chair for the Openly Secular coalition and founder of the Stiefel Freethought Foundation. "By being open about our beliefs and values, we can show that we, like all people, are worthy of love and kindness undeterred by religious differences."
"After I spoke openly about being an atheist, I lost many friends and was threatened with rape and death. My own representative publicly called me an 'evil little thing.' All of this, simply because I did not believe in God," said student activist Jessica Ahlquist, who successfully sued her public high school in 2012 to remove a religious prayer banner from the auditorium. "But this experience has not discouraged me. Today, I hold my head high as a proud, secular American."
Other cases of discrimination against people who are nonreligious have gotten limited media attention, including a high school student kicked out of his own home, a man who lost child custody rights, and two women who were denied U.S. citizenship. U.S. Representative Barney Frank came out as gay 26 years before he felt comfortable being an open atheist, and then, only after leaving office. Each of these cases underscores the need for new momentum.
Openly Secular is headed by leaders from the Richard Dawkins Foundation for Reason and Science, the Secular Coalition for America, the Secular Student Alliance and the Stiefel Freethought Foundation. They are joined by a group of over 20 prominent national partner organizations from the secular movement. Openly Secular hopes to engage both nonbelievers and believers in a dialogue about acceptance, love and equality.
The coalition is now looking to expand to bring in religious and civil liberties groups as allies mutually interested in ending discrimination. Openly Secular has launched a new online outlet for people to share their own stories of discrimination. There's a form at this link: secular.org/stories.
"We want to live in a world where there are no social costs for being nonreligious, where families and communities remain whole even when some have moved away from religion," said Robyn Blumner of the Richard Dawkins Foundation.

When you decide to pursue bankruptcy, one of the first things you'll probably be thinking is "which kind of bankruptcy is right for me? Should I go for a chapter 7, chapter 11, or a chapter 13 bankruptcy attorney?" While Chapter 7 bankruptcy is ideal for individual debtors, chapter 11 and 13 bankruptcies are more open for businesses and/or partnerships. They work better for groups dealing with bankruptcy. However, it might be confusing as to which is best for your specific business/partnership. Should we choose a chapter 11, or a chapter 13? Since the two are so similar, RLC would like to take a moment to explain the key differences between the chapter 11 and 13 bankruptcies. After reading this, you might have a better idea of what kind of bankruptcy will be best for you.
When it comes to what the two chapters have in common, both allow you to keep your business alive. They provide you the chance to restructure your finances in a way that settles debts while retaining your essential business property. This is part of what makes them so attractive. They also allow you to cease obligations that you are unable to pay within the plan (depending on certain negotiations). This is part of how the chapters relieve stress for the businesses. However, the choice between the two chapters starts with their differences.
Unlike Chapter 13, most businesses, big or small, can file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. This includes anyone from individuals to joint ventures and LLCs. When it comes to finances, Chapter 11 has no limit on the amount of debt or income you have. This is one of the main reasons it is popular among other forms of bankruptcy.
While Chapter 11 proceedings can be long and complicated, Chapter 13's approval process is much faster. However, it is only allowed for people/businesses within a certain range of debt. It is also meant for large-moderately sized businesses. Chapter 13 Bankruptcy also allows you to keep all of your assets. That includes both exempt and non-exempt assets. In return, you pay for your debts through a regular repayment plan. The repayment plan can be for all or some of your total debt (this is based on your negotiations).
There are many decisions to face in the midst of bankruptcy. The decisions can seem overwhelming and impossible to comprehend. But the right decisions become clearer with the right bankruptcy attorney. And RLC's Tate Russack carries the experience of both a chapter 11 and a chapter 13 bankruptcy attorney. Therefore, he will be able to advise you on which chapter would be best for you. For more information on our chapter 7, chapter 11, and chapter 13 bankruptcy attorney services, please feel free to contact RLC here. RLC is here guide you to a better financial future.

(PIX 11) — Rory Halperin, editor of Time Out New York Kids, has many ways to help parents keep their children occupied and happy during the summer months. Her many activity suggestions include public pools and free outdoor concerts. All of her activities are conveniently located in NYC and are very affordable.
Free Summer Activities:
Tons of free activities, including mini golf, art workshops, special festivals—upcoming ones include Come Out and Play Festival (7/13), City of Water Day (7/20) and the awesome Fete Paradiso (a vintage carnival ride festival) which starts on July 6 and last all summer (Admission is free but rides cost money)
Free outdoor concerts: / Madison Square Park Kids Concerts
There's tons of free concerts for families. Some of the big ones are SummerStage Family Days (Global Family Day takes place July 7 in Central Park) and the weekly Madison Square Kids Concerts, which include some of the best names in children music for a special series of free outdoor entertainment for kids and their families. Catch KBC Kids (6/27) and Big Bang Boom (7/2).
Free outdoor films: / Syfy Movies With A View.
From East River State Park to the Intrepid, the city is full of outdoor movies for families. One of our favorite series: Syfy Movies With A View. Set against a spectacular view of lower Manhattan, this outdoor movie mainstay at Brooklyn Bridge Park's Pier 1 seems to garner a larger following with each passing year. That being the case, be sure to arrive early to beat the massive crowds—you'll stay entertained with pre-movie sets by local DJs as well as a short film. While this is not a strictly family-friendly series (many flicks are rated R), this year's more kid-friendly picks include Ferris Bueller's Day Off (July 11), Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (July 25), Roman Holiday (Aug 8), Rocky (Aug 15) and Vertigo (Aug 22). Music starts at6pm, movies begin at sundown.
City pools: / Brooklyn Bridge Park pop-up pool
They open on Thursday, June 27—all free! We're big fans of Brooklyn Bridge Park pop-up pool (which opened in the summer of 2012). They have a new lemonade stand this summer. The pool offers families a free and fun way to cool off but also one of the best views in the city—plus the option of morning kids' swimming lessons during the week. Slated to remain in the park through 2017, the swimming hole is 30 by 50 feet and 3.5 feet deep and holds a maximum of 60 people, so keeping an eye on the littlest swimmers will be easy. After a dip, families can dry off on one of the lounge chairs dotting the artificial sand beach while marveling at their proximity to the Brooklyn Bridge.
Free festivals: / River Fish Celebration
There are so many free family festivals this summer, starting with this weekend's River Fish Celebration on the Hudson River. Explore the marine life swimming in the Hudson River at this day dedicated to fishing and community. Borrow a pole or bring your own and spend the afternoon waiting for a bite; then, dive into the river-related games and activities.
Free theater! / Making Books Sing's My City Park
This original musical stars a few eco–conscious puppets. My City Park tells the story of Milo, a civic–minded youngster who sets out to save his favorite park from being torn down and replaced with—you guessed it—a massive shopping mall. Following the free summer tour in various public libraries throughout the five boroughs, Making Books Sing plans to continue bringing My City Park to city kids via schools and community centers.

|Mary Kay - Graduation - 1962
My grandparents Frank Stewart Johnson and Helen Marian Gage were married in 1939 and by January 1946, they had had five children. My father was the oldest and the only son (b. 1940) and then four daughters followed: Shirley in 1941, Anne in 1942, Mary Kay in 1944 and Frances in 1946. The longest distance between children was between Anne and Mary Kay – and while it might not seem that significant to most…it was definitive gap. I'm sure when they were small that it must have felt like Dad, Shirley and Anne were almost "the three musketeers!" My grandparents had moved to North Dakota when they had married and their first three children were born there. They came out to Idaho in early 1943 in the dead of winter. I have often thought that it must have been difficult for my great grandmother not to get her hands on her first three grandchildren until they were a bit older. Grandma Gage got to take care of those three grandchildren when their mother went to the hospital in Moscow, ID and had Mary Kay. I'm sure it was a special occasion when Grandma Marian could present her newborn daughter to her mother.

In many ways, Mary Kay was the most adventurous of her family. She alone traveled outside of the Pacific Northwest as she joined the Air Force and later the National Guard. She had experiences and met people that her siblings never had. I don't think that her life was easy and like most of us, she made some good and bad choices. I know that towards the end of her life, her family became even more important to her. Mary Kay enjoyed camping and fishing and made a point to come up to Idaho to go camping with her sister up on the Lochsa at Powell Ranger Station. I don't think that she had missed many of the bi-annual family reunions during the past 20 years and it was extremely important to her to not miss the one this past summer.
Despite being very weak and showing the ravages of cancer treatment, Mary Kay sat at a table with her children and grandchildren surrounding her. I think that I will always think of the expression of peace and pride that I saw on her face. In my mind's eye, I think that I will remember Aunt Mary Kay sitting in her chair out by her Motor Home enjoying her morning coffee and the loving attention of her dog talking to each family member as they walked past. Mornings on Hatter Creek were like that during family reunions – it was those quiet times when we would meet each other on our way to somewhere else. I would like to think that Mary Kay was welcomed by her beloved parents and grandparents and when we have our next family reunion, she will join the others looking down with peace and pride at their family. Mary Kay was a beloved mother, grandmother, sister, cousin, and niece to the many members of a large family, and she will be missed and well-remembered.

The shirt said Hard Rock, but the music was anything but. Hunched over a piano, his back to the Staten Island waterfront, Michael Mignemi swayed gently as he played Pachelbel's Canon. As the sound filled the breezeway, people heading toward the ferry terminal veered off slowly to him.
Mr. Mignemi makes a living playing his keyboard outside a deli on Victory Boulevard. But this week he played for love alone at the St. George ferry terminal, serenading commuters, coaxing smiles, nods and compliments. He was playing one of some 60 pianos that have set up around the city as part of "Play Me I'm Yours."
Thursday was Mr. Mignemi's second self-styled engagement at the terminal.
For about half an hour, he held court, going through a repertoire that went from "Return to Sorrento" to "The Entertainer." At one point, he broke into "My Heart Will Go On" — the theme from "Titanic" — though if anyone about to board the ferry was nervous, they did not betray it. Read more…

Many things happened to Somalia and to Somalis over the years and there is not room enough in this article to cover even only the most interesting of them.
By trying hard to exemplify the nexus between the average people and their own government I would like to share with the readers ordinary stories from ordinary citizens.
Last week I visited the town of Jazira, the real one not the series of restaurants along the Lido Beach of Mogadishu. That was my very first time riding the rough roads from Mogadishu and seeing the Italian saline and coastal town of Jazira. My first impression was of total peace. There were no soldiers in uniform, no barriers of sands protecting from potential explosion, and no gunshots to disperse the jamming traffic. The white Mosque in the middle of the town seemed to be in perfect symmetry with the surrounding homes barely tightfitting on the major sways of the rocky terrain.
The beach was full of dried seaweed and several small fishing boats were anchored. In the middle of the turquoise-blue sea, the Sheikh Mohamed atoll with its little white mosque was standing toll and white as the ever-lasting witness of the town.
I went to visit Uluma, an 80 something years old lady who just lost her mum, she lived all her life there with her daughter and her grand and great-grand children. The Ashun, the mooye and the burjiko stood in their small area of the cooking area. Refreshment and a lunch of fish, vegetable and soor were offered. Nothing genetically modified. And at night there was always the sugary tea and ambulo with sesame oil. Life is simple here and it has been like that for centuries. The town got no hospital, no police station and one privately run school.
I asked myself what is the nexus between Ulumo's family in Jazira town and the Federal Government of Somalia? Do they need a government at all? Is Ulumo's family missing out anything?
Again I raise the question whether there is a nexus between Fardousa and the Somali Federal Government? What impact if any such government has on her daily life?
My 3rd tale relates to Aw Maow, he works as a veteran car mechanic who had his glorious days as an expert of engine modification. He is now on his late 60's and he needs to still earn to make a living for his family since pension benefit is out of question. I asked him whether he got an ID card that would enable him to pass through the checkpoints when coming to his work place. He answered that he has no a 'governmental' ID and that it is creating a real problem when he drives because he is an ordinary person with no connection with the government. However, he seemed quite happy to rather suffer the humiliation of being turned down at the checkpoints than being identified as a 'government's worker and risk his own life and limbs.
Is that right that ordinary people should dread any connection with their own government?
For those who can read between the lines, Mohamed's account of his daily life may be a bittersweet pill to digest. He is a 23 years tuc-tuc driver who never had a formal education because his parents couldn't afford it. While I loudly complain about my back suffering the nasty pumps of the rough road, he says joyfully that the next road will be better. I asked him whether he pays tax on his vehicle to the Mogadishu Municipally. He quickly made some calculation and offered a more comprehensive answer. If each tuc-tuc pays $15 per month of almost 20,000 tuc-tuc in Mogadishu, the Municipality would have an earning of $3,600.000 (three million six hundred) per year that could cover the road repairs.
At my strong criticism of this missed opportunity, Mohamed calmly reminded me that I could afford to criticize this government because I had information to compare to from the good old days before the civil war or when we had a functioning state. Apparently such memories don't exist for his generation. He said 'this is the best government so far with its corruption, political wrangling and lack of urban planning. At least there is a rough road and the tuc-tuc that allow us to earn a daily living.'
Every question that each story has raised leaves us to ponder and to be evaluated against the fundamental responsibilities of the government to serve and protect its citizens.
Ulumo, Fardousa, Aw Maow and Mohamed's rights as citizens living under a legitimate government are far from being delivered. Their incredible resilience, their sense of self-initiation, their generosity, and their unbelievable survival skills are making their lives bearable even if their basic needs of security, food, health, education, employment and shelter, are almost nonexistent. As ordinary people, they do their daily business with little expectations from their government and without questioning about their entitlements. The never ending hope is: one-day security and social justice will be achieved.
The wanting point is this: how long before this government will be able to discharge its duties towards its own citizens and allow ordinary people who dread its politics and actions to have their rights and appropriate spaces.
