To run or debug programs with the IDE, you must set up a launch configuration to define which programs to launch, the command-line options to use, and what values to use for environment variables. The configurations also define which special tools to run with your program (e.g. the Code Coverage tool, the Application Profiler, Kernel Logging, and the Memory Analysis tool).
The IDE saves your launch configurations so you can quickly reproduce the particular execution conditions of a setup you've done before, no matter how complicated.
Each launch configuration specifies a single program running on a single target. If you want to run your program on a different target, you can copy and modify an existing launch configuration. And you can use the same configuration for both running and debugging your program, provided that your options are the same.
If you're connecting to your target machine by IP, select this configuration (even if your host machine is also your target). You'll have full debugger control and can use the Application Profiler, Memory Analysis, Code Coverage, Mudflap, APS Options, and Kernel Logging tools. tools. Your target must be running qconn. Typically, You'll likely be using this type of launch configuration.
If you're developing non-QNX C/C++ programs, you may create a C/C++ Attach Local Application launch configuration to attach gdb to the locally running process. You don't need to use qconn; the IDE launches your program through gdb.
If you're developing non-QNX C/C++ projects, you may create a C/C++ Local launch configuration. You don't need to use qconn; the IDE launches your program through gdb.
If your program produced a dump file (via the dumper utility) when it faulted, you can examine the state of your program by loading it into the postmortem debugger. This option is available only when you select Debug. When you debug, you're prompted to select a dump file.
If you're connecting to your target machine by IP, select this configuration to connect to a remote process that is already running. This option let's you use the Application Profiler tool for profiling. Your target must be running qconn.
If you can access your target only via a serial connection, select this configuration. Rather than use qconn, the IDE uses the serial capabilities of gdb and pdebug directly. This option is available only when you select Debug.
Let's you run multiple applications at the same time or in sequential order. By default, it runs in the mode that you selected when launching the application, and the IDE launches the applications in the order that they appear in the Launches list. You can specify a different target for each application; however, you must identify the target separately in each individual launch configuration for the applications you include in the list.
If you wish to run a PhAB application, follow the steps for creating a C/C++ QNX QConn (IP) launch configuration.
The main difference between the C/C++ QNX QConn (IP) launch configurations and the other types is that the C/C++ QNX QConn (IP) type supports the runtime analysis tools (QNX System Profiler and the QNX Memory Trace).
The Run and Debug menu items appear in the C/C++ perspective by default, but they may not appear in all perspectives. You'll need the Run-->Run… menu item to set up a launch configuration.
From the main menu, select Window-->Customize Perspective.
Select the Launch checkbox in the Available command groups list if it is not currently selected for you.
In the C/C++ Projects or Navigator view, select your project.
Typically, if you're connecting to your target via IP, you can select C/C++ QNX QConn (IP). If not, see the "Types of launch configurations" section in this chapter before deciding.
You can't create a local debug session with the QNX GDB Debugger. This debugger is available only on qconn for postmortem debugging.
Fill in the details in the various tabs. For details about each tab, see the "Setting execution options" section in this chapter.
When you configure a program to run, you should also configure it to debug as well.
There are fewer options for running programs than for debugging.
From the main menu, select Run-->Run Configurations… (or, click the Run icon and select Run… from the dropdown menu).
When you're done, click Run.
Instead of running under the control of a debugger, your program simply runs.
The IDE also lets you run a program without creating a launch configuration, but the program's output doesn't appear in the Console view.
In the Target File System Navigator view, right-click your file and select Run. When the dialog appears, click OK. Your program runs.
From the main menu, select Run-->Debug… or Run-->Run….
In the left pane, select the launch configuration you created when you first ran or debugged your program.
If you have a program that you launch frequently, you can add it to the Debug or Run dropdown menu so you can launch it quickly.
To use this method, you must have selected Display in favorites when you first created your launch configuration. If you didn't, edit the Display in favorites menu option under the Common tab. See "Setting execution options" in this chapter.
Run: From the main menu, select Run-->Run History to show a submenu of the recent history of launch configurations launched in Run mode.
Run: Click the dropdown menu ( ) part of the run menu button set ( ).
Debug: From the main menu, select Run-->Debug History to show a submenu of the recent history of launch configurations launched in Debug mode.
Debug: Click the dropdown menu ( ) part of the debug menu button set ( ).
Select your launch configuration from the list of favorites.
Press F11 or click the dropdown button ( ) beside the Debug or Run icon, then select your launch configuration.
All of these tabs appear when you select the C/C++ QNX QConn (IP) type of launch configuration; only some tabs appear when you select the other types.
The Main tab in the Launch Configuration dialog.
Type the name of the project that contains the executable you want to launch. You may also locate a project by clicking Browse…. You can create or edit launch configurations only for open projects.
Type the relative path of the executable's project directory (e.g. x86/o/Test1_x86). For QNX projects, an executable with a suffix of _g indicates it was compiled for debugging. You may also locate an available executable by clicking Search Project….
Lets you specify the priority and scheduling for threads. Each thread can be given a priority and will be able to access the CPU based on that priority. If a low-priority thread and a high-priority thread both want to run, then the high-priority thread will be the one that gets to run. If a low-priority thread is currently running and then a high-priority thread suddenly wants to run, then the high-priority thread will take over the CPU and run, thereby preempting the low-priority thread.
SCHED_FIFO — a thread is allowed to consume CPU for as long as it wants. This means that if that thread is performing a very long mathematical calculation, and no other thread of a higher priority is ready, that thread could potentially run forever. If another thread has the same priority, it is locked out as well.
SCHED_OTHER — provides a limit on the execution time of a thread within a given period of time.
SCHED_RR — is identical to SCHED_FIFO, except that the thread will not run forever if there's another thread at the same priority; it runs only for a system-defined timeslice.
If you want the IDE to create a "pseudo terminal" on the target that sends terminal output to the Console view on a line-by-line basis, then deselect (uncheck) the Use terminal emulation on target option. To use terminal emulation, your target must be running the devc-pty manager.
If you want to filter out platforms that don't match your selected executable, then set the Filter targets based on C/C++ Application selection on. For example, if you've chosen a program compiled for PowerPC, you'll see only PowerPC targets and offline targets.
Select a target from the available list. If you haven't created a target, click Add New Target. For more information about creating a target, see the Common Wizards Reference chapter.
If you're creating a C/C++ QNX PDebug (Serial) launch configuration, then you'll see the Stop in main option, which is selected by default. This means that after you start the debugger, it stops in main() and waits for your input.
For serial debugging, make sure that the pseudo-terminal communications manager (devc-pty) is running on your target.
Here you can specify the serial port (e.g. COM1 for Windows hosts) and the baud rate, which you select from the dropdown list.
This tab lets you specify the arguments your program uses and the directory where it runs.
The Arguments tab in the Launch Configurations dialog.
Enter the arguments that you want to pass on the command line. For example, if you want to send the equivalent of myProgram -v -L 7, type -v -L 7 in this field. You can put -v and -L 7 on separate lines because the IDE automatically strings the entire contents together.
The option Use default working directory is set on by default. This means the executable runs in the /tmp directory on your target. If you turn off this option, you can click Browse… to locate a different directory.
The Environment tab lets you set the environment variables and values to use when the program launches. For example, if you want to set the environment variable named PHOTON to the value /dev/photon_2 when you run your program, use this tab. Click New to add an environment variable.
The Environments tab in the Launch Configurations dialog.
The Upload tab lets you tell the IDE whether to transfer an executable from the host machine to the target. You use this tab if libraries have to be uploaded every time an application runs.
The Upload tab in the Launch Configurations dialog.
You also have the option of not downloading any shared libraries to your target.
Send the executable to the target every time you run or debug.
Make the IDE use the existing version of the executable on the target. If you select this option, you'll need to specify a Remote directory for the executable.
Show the remote directory of /tmp on your target. You can also click Browse… to locate a directory. Since the IDE doesn't know the location of your shared library paths, you must specify the directory containing any libraries.
Remove the debug information from the executable being uploaded to the target.
Make your executable's filename unique (by appending a number) during each download session.
Transfer a shared library from the host machine to the target.
Select the shared libraries your program needs from the list.
Shows the local path to the library.
Shows the remote directory of the library on your target.
Remove debug information before downloading. By default, the Strip debug information before uploading option is selected. Deselect this option if you don't want the IDE to strip the executable you're uploading to your target.
Attempts to automatically find the required libraries.
Open a dialog to look in your workspace for libraries.
Add a new shared library path to the list.
Remove the selected shared library path from the list.
Remove files that the IDE downloaded after each session. If you don't want the IDE to "clean up" after itself, then deselect this option.
The Debugger tab lets you configure how your debugger works. To debug your application, you must use executables that are compiled for debugging. These executables contain additional debug information that let the debugger make direct associations between the source code and binaries generated from the source.
The Debugger tab in the Launch Configurations dialog.
The settings in the Debugger tab affect your executable only when you debug it, not when you run it.
The debugger dropdown list includes the available debuggers for the selected launch-configuration type. The list also varies depending on whether you're debugging a remote or a local target.
By default, this option is selected and the default location is main(). If you deselect it, the program runs until you interrupt it manually, or until it encounters a breakpoint.
Enable these options if you want the system to track every variable and register as you step through your program. Disable the Variables option to manually select individual variables to work with in the Variables view in the debugger (see the Debugging Your Programs chapter). Disabling the Registers option works the same way for the Registers view.
If you choose to track all the variables or registers, your program's performance may decrease.
For GDB, select Verbose console mode to see all of the commands sent to GDB, and all of the responses returned from GDB.
Set breakpoints if you have many files with the same base name in the project. When file names are identical but their paths are different, setting this option ensures that breakpoints are set for the appropriate file, as expected.
The Main tab and Shared libraries tabs let you specify specific options for the debugger that you selected.
Specify a file for running gdb using the -command option (see the Utilities Reference ).
You can use the pane to select specific libraries or use the Auto button to have the IDE attempt to select your libraries.
See all of the commands sent to GDB, and all of the responses returned from GDB.
Watch line-by-line stepping of library functions in the C/C++ editor. You may want to deselect this option if your target doesn't have much memory; the library symbols consume RAM on the target.
Set breakpoints if you have many files with the same base name in the project.
Choose this option if you want the debugger to break automatically when a shared library or DLL is loaded or unloaded.
The Source tab lets you specify where the debugger should look for source files. By default, the debugger uses the source from your project in your workspace, but you can specify source from other locations (e.g. from a central repository).
The Source tab in the Launch Configurations dialog.
On the Source tab, click Add…. The Add Source Location dialog appears.
An absolute path to a file in the local file system.
A directory in the local file system. If you wish to add source from outside your workspace, select the File System Directory path type, and click OK. Type the path to your source in the Select location directory field, or use the Browse button to locate your source.
A project in the workspace.
All projects in the workspace. If you wish to add source from your workspace, select the Workspace path type, or from a specific folder select Workspace Folder and then click OK.
A folder in the workspace.
If you want to specify a mapping between directories, choose the Associate with option and enter the directory in the available field. For example, if your program was built in the C:/source1 directory and the source is available in the C:/source2 directory, enter C:/source2 in the first field and associate it with C:/source1 using the second field.
If you want the IDE to recurse through the subdirectories to find the source, then select the Search subfolders option.
After you click OK, you can remove or modify a source path by selecting a source lookup path from the list, and then clicking Remove or Edit.
To change the order of source lookup paths by selecting a type, and then clicking Up or Down. To search for duplicates in your source locations, select the Search for duplicate source files on the path checkbox.
Click Finish. The IDE adds the new source location.
The Common tab lets you define where the launch configuration is stored, how you access it, and what perspective you change to when you launch.
The Common tab in the Launch Configurations dialog.
When you create a launch configuration, the IDE saves it as a .launch file. If you select Local, the IDE stores the configuration in one of its own plugin directories. If you select Shared file, you can save it in a location you specify (such as in your project). Saving as a shared file lets you commit the .launch file to source control, such as CVS or Subversion, which allows others to run the program using the same configuration.
Saves the launch configuration locally.
Specifies the path of, or browse to, a workspace to store the launch configuration file, and be able to commit it to CVS.
Add configuration name to Run, Debug, or Profile menus for easy selection. You can have your launch configuration displayed when you click the Run, Debug, or Profile dropdown menus in the toolbar. To do so, check the Run, Debug, or Profile options under the Display in favorites menu heading.
Specify the encoding scheme to use for console output.
Check to assign a console view to receive the output.
Specify the file name to save the output.
Specifies the path of, or browse to, a workspace to store the output file.
Specifies the path of, or browse to, a file system directory to store the output file.
Select variables by name to include in the output file.
Select to append the output. Deselect this option to recreate the file each time.
Select this option to launch configuration in background mode. This option is enabled by default, letting the IDE launch applications in the background so that you can continue to use the IDE while waiting for a large application to be transferred to the target.
The Tools tab in the Launch Configurations dialog.
Lets you count how many times functions are called, who called which functions, and so on. For more information about this tool, see the Profiling Your Application chapter.
Lets you track memory errors. For more information about this tool, see the Finding Memory Errors chapter.
Lets you perform a system wide profile to monitor all processes that execute on a specific set of CPUs.
Lets you add paths to shared library references.
Lets you measure what parts of your program have run, and what parts still need to be tested. For more information about this tool, see the Code Coverage chapter.
If you want the IDE to open the appropriate perspective for the tool during the launch, then check Switch to this tool's perspective on launch.

Lee Hsien Yang's role in the run up to the next general elections
For the second time in three months, former presidential candidate Dr Tan Cheng Bock met Mr Lee Hsien Yang for breakfast in a neigbourhood market on a weekend.
Two points came to mind when I saw reports of the walkabout.
First, why is Lee Hsien Yang joining Dr Tan on his walkabouts?
Didn't Hsien Yang declare that he was not interested in politics and that he just wanted to fulfill his father's last wishes in demolishing the house. A closure he said. Why is he renting himself out to Dr Tan for his walkabouts then? At this rate, it won't be long before he turns up for a Hong Lim park event.
Second, why did Dr Tan ask Lee Hsien Yang to join him at Teck Ghee instead of his other walkabouts?
Lee Hsien Yang did not come with Dr Tan when Dr Tan was having his 'meal' in Chong Pang, where he coincidentally also met with Shanmugam last month.
Why specifically Teck Ghee? – Unlike Hsien Loong, who have been working in the Teck Ghee Constituency (as part of the Ang Mo Kio GRC) for nearly four decades, Hsien Yang was hardly on the ground. In fact, not many people can even remember what he did for the community before the Oxley Saga came to light, other than increasing his share overnight in the will
Did Dr Tan bring Hsien Yang along because he wanted to appeal to the late Lee Kuan Yew supporters? If this is the case, who then is explicitly exploiting LKY's name to pursue a personal vendetta.
What is Lee Hsien Yang's role in the next general elections?
Is he sponsoring Dr Tan political campaign? Or is he making himself available for any opposition to use his name and align themselves with his interest, against Hsien Loong? He claims that his family is being prosecuted, but he turns up for meals with Dr Tan like he enjoys the publicity, knowing full well that his presence will attract both local and international media speculation.
From a laymans perspective, its obvious that the LEE family fued has spilled over to politics. But its not a beginning of a new dawn for Singapore. Hsien Yang is determined to get back at Hsien Loong, he is using these opposition politicians and the next general election to do it.
F*** Singaporeans and their causes.

Customers get unmatched security with Windows Server and SQL Server workloads in Azure
By Arpan Shah General Manager, Microsoft Azure
Customers such as Allscripts, Chevron, J.B. Hunt, and thousands of others are migrating their important workloads to Azure where they find unmatched security. While understanding cloud security is initially a concern to many, after digging in, customers often tell us the security posture they can set up within Azure is easier to implement and far more comprehensive than what they can provide for in other environments.
Azure delivers multiple layers of security, from the secure foundation in our physical datacenters, to our operational practices, to engineering processes that follow industry standard Mitre guidelines. On top of that, customers can choose from a variety of self-service security services that work for both Azure and on-premises workloads. We employ more than 3,500 cybersecurity professionals and spend $1 billion annually on security to help protect, detect, and respond to threats – delivering security operations that work 24x7x365 for our customers.
Let's look at some examples of how Azure delivers unmatched security for your Windows Server and SQL Server workloads.
The broadest built-in protections across hybrid environments with Azure Security Center
Customers can get the broadest built-in protection available across both cloud and on-premises through Azure Security Center. This includes security recommendations for virtual machines, storage, networking, databases, identity, application services, and IOT – all from a single integrated dashboard.
Azure Security Center leverages the Microsoft Intelligent Security Graph, which collects more than 6.5 trillion signals daily from Microsoft services such as Xbox, Dynamics 365, Office 365, Azure, and our broad partner ecosystem. With Azure Security Center, customers can easily install an agent on Windows Server and get detailed recommendations on which best practices to implement such as installing end-point protection and the latest patches. It also comes with all the capabilities of Microsoft Defender ATP built in. As a result, you get to tap into our industry-leading threat protection to protect your Windows Server and SQL Server workloads.
Further, Azure Security Center integration will soon be available through Windows Admin Center, a modern Windows Server management solution being used to manage millions of instances today. With a few clicks, you will soon be able secure your Windows Server instances on-premises directly from Windows Admin Center.
Unique platform-level security and governance
Azure's consistent policy platform makes it easier for you to apply security policies faster across your Windows Server and SQL Server workloads. For every workload you run in Azure, you can easily define a set of security policies and apply them uniformly across your subscriptions or management groups at scale. Using Azure Blueprints, you can literally create a new subscription with all the security settings you need in a few clicks. All of this is possible because Azure has a unique underlying resource management foundation, giving you the confidence that your Windows Server and SQL Server workloads are compliant by design. Best of all, Azure Governance capabilities are available at no additional charge.
Built-in, AI driven Security Information and Event Management (SIEM)
Customers often use SIEM to bring together threat protection information from across the enterprise to enable advanced hunting and threat mitigation. Azure Sentinel is a cloud-native SIEM with built-in AI that enables you to focus on the important threats rather than low fidelity signals. It helps reduce noise drastically—we have seen a reduction of up to 90 percent in alert fatigue from early adopters. It also lets you combine signals from your Windows Server and SQL Server workloads on Azure with all of your other assets including Office 365, on-premises applications, and firewalls to get ahead of bad actors and mitigate threats.
Industry leading confidential computing capabilities
Azure confidential computing offers encryption of data while in use, a protection that has been missing from both on-premises datacenters and public clouds. For certain workloads, it is important to ensure the data is not transparent while it is processed in the CPU. Azure brings this capability through hardware-based enclaves built on top of Intel SGX extensions in the Azure DC series of virtual machines. Microsoft, as the cloud operator, cannot access the data or compute resources inside a secure enclave. Confidential computing also opens up new scenarios like secure block-chain or multi-party machine learning where the data is shared between two parties, but neither has access to the other party's data due to the secure enclaves. In addition, we have enhanced the Always Encrypted feature in SQL Server 2019 to support secure enclaves and you can build your own applications using this technology with our open SDK.
Unique database security monitoring for your cloud SQL
We use our experience from monitoring more than one million databases over the past few years to offer Advanced Data Security for SQL Database and SQL Server VMs. It includes two key components – vulnerability assessment and Advanced Threat Detection. Vulnerability assessment scans your databases so you can discover, track, and remediate potential database vulnerabilities. Advanced Threat Detection continuously monitors your database for suspicious activities like SQL injection and provides alerts on anomalous database access patterns. Threat alerts and reports from vulnerability assessments also appear in the Azure Security Center threats dashboard.
Free security updates for Windows Server and SQL Server 2008
We understand that customers are still running workloads on SQL Server and Windows Server 2008 and 2008 R2. These versions are approaching end of support in July 2019 and January 2020 respectively. You can automatically get three additional years of free Extended Security Updates if you simply migrate your 2008 and 2008 R2 instances to Azure to ensure they are protected. You can plan your upgrades to newer versions once they are in Azure. Additionally, for SQL Server, you can migrate legacy SQL Server workloads to Azure SQL Database Managed Instances. With this fully managed, version-less service your organization will not face end of support deadlines again.
Get started with Azure for unmatched security in the cloud
We can help you with the training and best practices you need to set up the most powerful protection for your Windows Server and SQL Server workloads in the cloud.
To learn even more best practices on how to take advantage of the built-in tools in Azure to protect your workloads, contact the team at Ocean Computer.

Trinidad and Tobago Olympic Committee president in spat with Commonwealth Games hierachy
by admin | Jul 24, 2014
Brian Lewis – President Trinidad and Tobago Olympic Committee (TTOC)
Trinidad and Tobago Olympic Committee (TTOC) President Brian Lewis has strongly criticised the Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF) for giving the impression that eight countries had "bungled and forgotten" to enter athletes for Glasgow 2014.
But Commonwealth Games Federation officials have since refused to retract their claims.
Speaking after the conclusion of the General Assembly meeting yesterday, Games Federation President Prince Imran and chief executive Mike Hooper each reiterated that the countries should have met the deadline of June 11, and that such behaviour will result in sanctions in the future.
Trinidad and Tobago was one of eight countries named as submitting athlete entries after the deadline. The other countries were Jamaica, Bahamas, Australia, Ghana, Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda.
The Games Federation revealed on Monday that special dispensation had been granted to some 48 athletes from these countries to ensure they did not miss their events.
Prince Imran – CGF President
This waiving of the deadline was accompanied by a stern warning from CGF President Prince Imran, who revealed the governing body was considering imposing sanctions in the future, against "those Commonwealth Games Associations who fail to meet important deadlines that impact on the Games' operations and their own athletes".
The Games governing body claimed that holding National Championships after the deadline was not a good enough excuse, and national organisations should have communicated to make sure they were held earlier.
But TTOC President Lewis, who also heads the Caribbean country's Commonwealth Games delegation, has hit back, lambasting what he called the "regrettable and disappointing assertions made by the CGF President", which are according to Lewis "certainly not in keeping with the Commonwealth Games brand positioning as the 'Friendly Games' nor the sport value of fair play".
Lewis said "The President of the CGF and the chief executive, Mike Hooper, are well aware of the totality of the facts. "They are well informed or ought to be that the June 11 deadline presented an intractable problem to some Commonwealth Games Associations such as Trinidad and Tobago, since the selection process for athletics is the National Track and Field Championships scheduled for the third weekend in June, Lewis stated.
"Trinidad and Tobago wasn't the only country facing this challenge," he reiterated.
Lewis explained Trinidad and Tobago had unsuccessfully attempted to extend the deadline to a later date in line with International Association of Athletics Federations and Olympic final deadlines for entries.
And he pointed out that in an effort to work within the June 11 deadline, TT were hard pressed to get the final track and field team 100 per cent accurate.
Lewis insisted that the suggestion that the countries had "bungled and forgotten" their entries is regrettable.
"I would not speculate as to the motives behind such alleged declarations coming from the President of the CGF," Lewis declared.
And he added "We are confident that our efforts to ensure that our best available track and field team will participate at Glasgow 2014 is a reflection of our support and abiding respect for the people of Scotland and organisers of Glasgow 2014 and the values, mission and purpose of the Commonwealth Games and the CGF."
Lewis continued by saying: "The Commonwealth Games is struggling to retain its relevance and importance on the global sporting calendar. Glasgow 2014, he concluded, represents an opportunity to highlight the Games in a positive and dynamic light."


jammu, July 17: Former chief minister and Peoples Democratic Party president Mehbooba Mufti has been caught on "wrong foot" by stating that more Salaudhins and Yasin Maliks would be born if New Delhi tries to break her party.
Viresh Shandilya, spokesman Shree Hindu Takht and President Anti-Terrorist Front India has filed a sedition case in the court of Chief Judicial Magistrate Ambala under sections 121, 124 A and 153 of Indian Penal Code against the PDP chief. The complainant has pleaded that if Mehbooba was not tried under these sections, then "a day is not far when the country that is India would be deprived of J&K and the entire nation will be jeopardised when the terrorist activities increase."
An analyst while talking to Early Times said that PDP losing power has infuriated the former Chief Minister. "She had not expected that BJP would pull the plug so suddenly. Even when she was ruling the state she left no stone unturned to appease the separatists and their bosses sitting in Pakistan," he said, adding, "Kashmir based politicians have developed a habit of preaching secessionism when they are out of power."
He said that Mehbooba Mufti seems to have forgotten that she held the all important office of Chief Minister for more than two years. "By threatening the country she has crossed the line," the analyst added.
"Mainstream politicians, including the PDP President, need to act in a matured way. They can't sail in tow boats. They have to choose between separatism and mainstream politics. On many occasions all the Indian leaders have made it clear that Kashmir is no issue and J&K is an integral part of India. Despite Centre's position being clear PDP leaders keep on harping about Kashmir and role of the separatists. They need to mend their ways and fall in line. If they don't do it then they should get ready to face the sedition cases. Shandliya has made a beginning others too can follow the suit," said a Kashmir watcher.
Shnadliya has pleaded that Mehbooba has given a call to militants to take the Kashmir in their own hands. "The accused may be summoned, tried and punished under the aforesaid sections so that the country may not suffer," the complaint reads.
A politician said that BJP made a big mistake by entering into an alliance with the PDP. "Despite remaining in power for more than three years BJP leaders from J&K did not make an attempt to make Mehbooba Mufti understand that she cannot be soft towards separatists and terrorists. They just kept dancing to the tunes of PDP," he added.

Q: Angularjs directive with function two way bound falling into infinite loop I'm trying to create a custom directive to use a <select> combo with data in it. This directive has a change function being passed through, and using ng-change in the template. The function it calls is in the parent's scope, not in the isolated directive scope. For instance:
app.directive('selectDirective', function() {
    return {
        templateUrl: 'templates/myTemplate.html',
        restrict: 'E',
        require: 'ngModel',

        scope: {
            change: '=',
        }
        ...
    }

This directive is called like this: <selectDirective change="myFunction()">
As you can see, I'm using two way binding (=) in order to define functions in the parent's scope. It has to be this way because I update other <select>s when this function gets called. Notice that, within the parent's function I use the directive model to retrieve its id.
My problem is that once the parent's function is called, it falls into an infinite loop and I can't figure a way out. Any ideas?

A: Resolved the problem by wrapping the function with $timeout service. It adds the function into a queue and executes once angular is ready so the model is also synchronized.

If WSDOT gets its way, they'll be granting $750,000 to King County Metro Transit to start building a bike share network in King County. The Puget Sound Bike Share would set up bike stations, along with helmet and food opportunities, throughout Seattle and other key urban areas in King County. Don't get too excited, though. The program's executive director says they'll ultimately need $3.7M to launch Phase I, so the $750,000 would be a nice start but there's a ways to go. [PSBJ]

The game was originally supposed to be released in February, but the team has since made the decision to delay the game so that they have more time to polish it up while still maintaining a healthy work-life balance. Considering how prevalent crunch culture has been in the video games industry, this definitely seems like the best decision for all parties involved.
The game is set to be released for consoles and PC on May 19, 2022.

Another glorious day in Maui. I am sitting alone on the beach watching the sunset and feeling eternally grateful for the beautiful day I had.
We had a very leisurely morning which started with coffee in bed. Thanks Wade :-). Followed by a long walk on the beach. Breakfast was a simple bowl of cereal and then I went outside to work on my blog. I have to admit it is a little difficult to sit down and work when the ocean is calling my name, but once I'm actually doing it I'm good.
I worked until lunch (ham sandwiches for us and KD which the kids cooked for themselves earlier), and then we made our way across the island to do a little shopping and go Zip Lining.
The company we chose was Maui Zipline which runs out of The Maui Tropical Plantation. We had signed up for the five zip tour (they also offer an eight zip tour). The facility was easy to find, clean and well run. Check in was quick and within no time we were being given the safety demo.
I liked that the group was small. Only eleven guests and three guides. The guides were great, very friendly, funny and totally open to being filmed and shared on Instagram. Thanks Kate.
We did have a great time, for me it was very much about doing this with my family. That being said the Ziplines themselves were disappointing. We didn't zip across a jungle canopy or drop into a cenote as we have done before. There were no mile high mile long lines and the scenery was pretty much the same throughout as their five lines were all together in a space about an acre in size.
If you are looking for a family friendly Zipline adventure, one that is suitable for kids age five to about twelve (or older if they are nervous) then this is the tour for you. However if, like me, you are an adrenalin junky then you will be bored. The pace wasn't fast enough and the lines not nearly scary enough.
This is a great company with wonderful staff in a nice location. More suited to younger families than thrill seekers.


home > topics > microsoft access / vba > questions > wincheckmultipleinstances not working ac2010.
I have found that users sometimes minimize my application, and then later, start it "again" thus starting a new instance of the program.
I want to prevent this from happening.
Frontend is a MDE file.
Backend is mdb file on shared network drive.
I found this code at http://access.mvps.org/access/api/api0041.htm.
The problem is I can't get it to work, the sMyCaption variable is set to "" thus it doesn't really matter what happens in the rest of the code. I have tried and tried to understand the API calls, but I am getting nowhere and my head starts to hurt! I would appreciate it if anyone with more API skills then me, can spot what might go wrong.
' that the above credit is included unchanged.
If the users have their own copy of the FE then it might be easier simply to check the size of the LDB file. Painless and reliable.
I did consider that, but I believe if the access application exits in error, that the .ldb file is left behind, and not cleaned up. How would you handle that?
I made a very subtle change in the Entry Level Function which really was not necessary.
if the access application exits in error, that the .ldb file is left behind, and not cleaned up. How would you handle that?
Just as you would normally. Delete the file, then everything works normally again. You wouldn't expect everything to work perfectly when you had spurious files around.
PS. This seems to me to be a perfect illustration of the KISS concept.
@ adezii, Are you getting a non empty string value in sMyCaption? And what version of access are you using? I cant help but wonder if this is in someway related to me using Ac2010 and the code simply breaks in 2010.
@NeoPa How would you detect whether the a existing .ldb is the result of a bad exit (crash) or the result of the app allready being in use? I suppose I could try to kill it and catch the error if it is in use, but that also seems a bit crude, and file errors often seem to have poor performance/response times in my experience.
That question relies on knowing if multiple users have their own front-ends. If so, then the very existence of the file means that the user has it open already. If not, then it becomes more complicated and some parsing of the LDB file data may be required.
Are you getting a non empty string value in sMyCaption? And what version of access are you using? I cant help but wonder if this is in someway related to me using Ac2010 and the code simply breaks in 2010.
Sorry, but I forgot to mention that I am using Access 2002. I'm sending you my Demo Version for the Definitive Test. Open a 2nd Instance of the Demo, then click the Command Button - the Code should work fine.

Syria the Latest Case of US 'Stumbling' Into War
Washington D.C. (FAIR) – A recent headline in The Atlantic (6/9/17) earnestly pondered if the US was "Getting Sucked Into More War in Syria." "Even as Washington potentially stumbles into war…" was how the article's discussion began.
One of the most common tropes in US media is that the US military always goes to war reluctantly—and, if there are negative consequences, like civilian deaths, it's simply a matter of bumbling around without much plan or purpose.
This framing serves to flatter two sensibilities: one right and one vaguely left. It satisfies the right-wing nationalist idea that America only goes to war because it's compelled to by forces outside of its own control; the reluctant warrior, the gentle giant who will only attack when provoked to do so. But it also plays to a nominally liberal, hipster notion that the US military is actually incompetent and boobish, and is generally bad at war-making.
This is expressed most clearly in the idea that the US is "drawn into" war despite its otherwise unwarlike intentions. "Will US Be Drawn Further Into Syrian Civil War?" asked Fox News (4/7/17). "How America Could Stumble Into War With Iran," disclosed The Atlantic (2/9/17), "What It Would Take to Pull the US Into a War in Asia," speculated Quartz (4/29/17). "Trump could easily get us sucked into Afghanistan again," Slate predicted (5/11/17). The US is "stumbling into a wider war" in Syria, the New York Times editorial board (5/2/15) warned. "A Flexing Contest in Syria May Trap the US in an Endless Conflict," Vice News (6/19/17) added.
Image Credit: Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting
"Sliding," "stumbling," "sucked into," "dragged into," "drawn into": The US is always reluctantly—and without a plan—falling backward into bombing and occupying. The US didn't enter the conflict in Syria in September 2014 deliberately; it was forced into it by outside actors. The US didn't arm and fund anti-Assad rebels for four years to the tune of $1 billion a year as part of a broader strategy for the region; it did so as a result of some unknown geopolitical dark matter.
Syria especially evokes the media's "reluctantly sucked into war" narrative. Four times in the past month, the Trump administration has attacked pro-regime forces in Syria, and in all four instances they've claimed "self-defense." All four times, media accepted this justification without question (e.g., Reuters, 6/19/17), despite not a single instance of "self-defense" attacks occurring under two-and-a-half years of the Obama administration fighting in Syria. (The one time Obama directly attacked Syrian government forces, the US claimed it was an accident.)
Why the sudden uptick in "self-defense"? Could it be because, as with the bombing of ISIS (and nearby civilians), Trump has given a green light to his generals to adopt an itchy trigger finger? Could it be Trump and Secretary of Defense James Mattis, who has a decades-long grudge against Iran, want to blow up Iranian drones and kill Iranian troops? No such questions are entertained, much less interrogated. The US's entirely defensive posture in Syria is presented as fact and serves as the premise for discussion.
Related: Trump Continues A Self-Destructive U.S. Policy In Syria
When US empire isn't reluctant, it's benevolent. "Initially motivated by humanitarian impulse," Foreign Policy's Emile Simpson (6/21/17) insisted, "the United States and its Western allies achieved regime change in Libya and attempted it in Syria, by backing rebels in each case."
"At least in recent decades, American presidents who took military action have been driven by the desire to promote freedom and democracy," the New York Times editorial board (2/7/17) swooned.
"Every American president since at least the 1970s," Washington Post's Philip Rucker (5/2/17) declared, "has used his office to champion human rights and democratic values around the world." Interpreting US policymakers' motives is permitted, so long as the conclusion is never critical.
In contrast, foreign policy actions by Russia are painted in diabolical and near-omnipotent terms. "Is Putin's Master Plan Only Beginning?" worried Vanity Fair (12/28/16). "Putin's Aim Is to Make This the Russian Century," insists Time magazine (10/1/16).
Related: Russia Will Consider US Aircraft In Syria For What They Are: Hostile Forces
Russia isn't "drawn into" Crimea; it has a secret "Crimea takeover plot" (BBC, 3/9/15). Putin doesn't "stumble into" Syria; he has a "Long-Term Strategy" there (Foreign Affairs, 3/15/16). Military adventurism by other countries is part of a well-planned agenda, while US intervention is at best reluctant, and at worst bumfuzzled—Barney Fife with 8,000 Abrams tanks and 19 aircraft carriers.
Even liberals talk about war in this agency-free manner. Jon Stewart was fond of saying, for example, that the Iraq war was a "mistake"—implying a degree of "aw shucks" mucking up, rather than a years-long plan by ideologues in the government to assert US hegemony in the Middle East.
War, of course, isn't a "mistake." Nor, unless your country is invaded, is it carried out against one's will. The act of marshalling tens of thousands of troops, scores of ships, hundreds of aircraft, and coordinating the mechanisms of soft and covert power by State and CIA officials, are deliberate acts by conscious, very powerful actors.
Media shouldn't make broad, conspiratorial assumptions as to what the bigger designs are. But neither are they under any obligation to buy into this mythology that US foreign policy is an improvised peace mission carried out by good-hearted bureaucrats, who only engage in war because they're "sucked into" doing so.

Although it's really hard to give a score to e-liquid flavors, we all loved the new flavor from Mad Hatter, although the name is ridiculously long! The I Love Blue Raspberry Candy eJuice has a sweet lemonade and raspberry taste thats subtle enough not to be sickly when you vape all day. So yes in our opinion it's classed as an all day vape juice. If you fancy a refreshing change from your boring reliable flavor, then this is going to refresh your pallet and wake up those taste buds! Good job Mad Hatter!
Sat in the baking sunshine in one of the most amazing settings on earth, Venice, with only the clouds above being from an airplane or me! Yep, that's right, I'm vaping! The sweltering heat has me slightly nervous as I have read that people are suffering from third-degree burns after their e cig batteries have exploded. Now I am not one for worrying about things like this as the likelihood of my 3-year-old battery exploding, which are in my new Smok ProColor 225W mod, are very low but it did get me thinking that this might somehow be a scare tactic to get us hooked on those nasty cigarettes again. With every puff, I take from my top bit, apparently called a TFV8 Big Baby Tank, I feel the battery getting warmer. Good job I have an ice-cold beer to place it next to just at arm's length to be on the safe side. It wasn't normal for me to be willing to sacrifice a beer in this way but better safe than sorry.
Walking around the beautiful city of Venice was like being taken back in time. Not hundreds of years, just 5 years. Many people from across the globe walking around smoking actual real cigarettes. With every shop, I was dragged into to look at that with an extortionate price tag on I kept my eye out for e-liquids. There were so many shops and not one single vape shop. It was a good job I packed enough to see me through the duration of my holiday ensuring I had enough spare in case that volcano went off again and all the flights were grounded like what happened in 2010.
Venice is a city that is like no other, apart from not being able to get vaping supplies easily, it has no road network and everything is moved by boat. Should that made up thing that they keep changing the name of actually happen, 'climate change', these guys are already ahead of the game? They have more boats there than London has taxis. As we move around the city doing the tourist thing, we visit some amazing buildings which will wow anyone. Modern architecture is like they have run out of ideas. Take the Shard in London. Someone sat there for a few months trying to design an inspirational landmark and realizing that they have no imagination they break a window to use the glass as a way of ending their life. They look down at the shard of glass and think oh that will be cool to make a building. It is ugly and ruins the landscape of London. People have a fear of being accused of copying other people's work. There is a reason these historic buildings are still standing and have the wow factor. Stop trying to be all hip and down with the youngsters and design buildings that are like the older ones with all the mod cons.
There was a glass factory in Venice which I felt like going to sabotage them if they had any input in creating the glass bottles for any e-liquid company. Fortunately, I had forgotten all about this when I tried to visit the factory. As I wasn't in a group of more than 10, I was ushered away like a peasant.
Imagine being out on a safari with bumpy roads full of potholes, some large enough to consume a house. You will be getting thrown around the vehicle like a rag doll. So, if you were to have a glass bottle in your pocket or backpack full of your favorite e-liquid and this smashes, not only will you turn into a beast that wants to wrestle all the animals you see as they have caused you to be without your vape but you will have e-liquid all over your leg or inside your backpack. Yes, it will smell nice and maybe you will be lucky to have escaped bleeding to death hoping the shards of glass haven't punctured your vital organs. As you can tell, I am not a fan of the glass bottle unless it contains vodka.
Back in my hotel room, I decide that now is the time to try this new funky looking bottle of e-liquid. Having managed to transport it to Italy safely without any leaks, I remove the lid and gave it a sniff. If it doesn't pass the sniff test then it would be poured down the toilet. As I looked at the name thinking, 'oh for goodness sake what the hell is a blue raspberry?', I was taken back. The smell was sweet and instantly made me want to drink it. Luckily, I could remind myself that drinking the liquid would probably turn me into a mutant. The bottle reminded me of those heroes in a half shell and the toxic ooze. They mutated after being covered in it so I had to be on the safe side and ensure there was no spillage.
I topped up my top bit (tank) which I managed to do without spilling it on the bed sheets and having to listen to the wife moan about it for the next few days/weeks/months…. I laid back on my bed and pressed play on my tablet. I only had a few episodes of Blindspot left to watch. As I filled my room with a cloud hoping that the smoke alarm wouldn't go off which would result in a 100 Euro fine, I was blessed with a smooth and wonderful flavor. I have no idea what the flavor was but I liked it, kinda like a lemonade raspberry taste. My tongue was tingling and my senses were in deep joy. My room not only looked like a nightclub but also smelt so sweet.
This flavor has really impressed me and would be one that I could vape all day, even though I'm not mad on sweet flavors. You do need a pretty good e-cig to get the most out of this e-juice. The bottle is great, easy to refill most tanks without any spills, in fact as I use it more and more I am becoming fastly addicted to it. Definitely going to buy some more of this one! Happy vaping Y'all!

3- Research Center for Health Sciences, Hamadan University of Medical Sciences, Hamadan, Iran.
Background and Objectives: Breakfast, the first meal of the day, provides children and adolescents with adequate nutrients. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of an educational intervention to increase breakfast consumption among high school students in Hamadan based on the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB).
Materials and Methods: This quasi-experimental study was performed on 140 high school students (70 in the intervention group, 70 in the control group), selected by random sampling method. Data were collected using a self-report questionnaire containing items on demographic characteristics, and constructs of the TPB. In both groups, the questionnaires were filled out through interviews before and two months after the intervention. Participants in the intervention group received three sessions of training based on the constructs of the TPB. Data were analyzed in SPSS-19 using inferential statistics, such as the independent t-test, paired t-test and chi-square test.
Results: The findings showed that the mean score of the constructs of the TPB (attitude toward the behavior, perceived behavior control and behavioral intention) in the intervention group did not significantly change after the intervention.
Conclusion: Based on the results of this study, it is necessary that training programs for increasing breakfast consumption be conducted for longer periods and using other theories.

Transformations features music created from and inspired by rhythms and tonal patterns of existing material.
Stolen Rhythm (2009) by Cheryl Frances-Hoad / Franz Joseph Haydn
This Haydn-inspired piece was commissioned by pianist Matthew Schellhorn as part of his Homage to Haydn on the 200th anniversary of the composer's death. The piece is based on the third movement (Finale) of Haydn's Sonata in Eb, Hob XVI:45, chosen for its "boundless energy and wit". Except for the occasional note shifted by an eighth or sixteenth and the odd 11/16 bar, in which the composer had removed one sixteenth note from the 3/4 bar, the rhythmic content follows exactly that of Haydn's sonata movement. The harmonic and melodic content derives from various transmutations of the notes B-A-D-D-G, a translation of H-A-Y-D-N (where B=H as in German, and with D and G replacing otherwise unplayable letters). The composition was selected as best piece in the Solo/Duo Instrumental category at the BASCA British Composer Awards 2010.
Practicing Haydn (Piano Sonata in Eb, Hob XVI:45 Finale) (2013) by Elaine Chew, Peter Child, Lina Viste Grønli
Based on Haydn's Piano Sonata in Eb, Hob XVI:45 Finale, this is a collaborative work between artist Lina Viste Grønli, composer Peter Child, and pianist Elaine Chew. Based upon an idea developed by Grønli and Child, this composition for solo piano is a transcription of Chew practicing the last movement of Haydn's sonata for the first time. The practice session has been meticulously transcribed by Child, leaving the repetitions, errors, halts and interruptions, to create a new performable score that refracts Haydn's original music. Practicing Haydn was created for Lina Viste Grønli's first major solo art show at the Kunsthall Stavanger to coincide with the venue's grand opening.
Intermezzo – for Pedja (2015) by Jonathan Berger
Intermezzo was written for Pedja Muzijevic's Haydn Dialogues, a concert based on four Haydn sonatas interspersed with contemporary compositions, at the Banff Centre in February 2016. The composer writes, "The day I started writing Intermezzo I overheard an exuberant toddler trying to tell her mother a story. In her excitement she kept getting lost in describing details and losing the point of the story. I was struck by the precious hesitations in her speech and the charming backslides in her narrative, both of which inspired the quirky sharp turns, and unexpected sudden shifts of gear in the music. Intermezzo comprises a set of seven vignettes (to be precise, actually six and a half given the unresolved conclusion). Though sequentially disjointed, these segments intentionally violate local expectations while tenuously attempting to maintain a narrative. Intermezzo is dedicated with deepest affection to Pedja Muzijevic."
Three morphed pieces from J.S. Bach's "A Little Notebook for Anna Magdalena" and three morphed pieces from Kabelevsky's "30 and 24 Pieces for Children" (2016) by Dorien Herremans and Elaine Chew
(US première)
These "morphed" pieces of Bach and Kabalevsky were generated by MorpheuS, an optimization-based system that uses recurrent patterns and tension profiles from template pieces as constraints in the music generation process. Each piece is presented here as it was created by the system. MorpheuS takes as input an original piece of music, and then performs pattern detection, and computes a tonal tension profile. It then uses a variable neighborhood search metaheuristic to iteratively replace the pitches of the original piece with random ones, while preserving repetition patterns, until they approximately fit the tension profile of the original piece. MorpheuS was Dorien Herreman's H2020 Marie Skłodowska-Curie Individual Fellowship project at the Centre for Digital Music at Queen Mary University of London.
Arrhythmia Suite (2017-2018) by Elaine Chew, Ashwin Krishna, Daniel Soberanes, Matthew Ybarra, Michele Orini, Pier Lambiase
I. 161122 VT before during after ECG (after Holst's Mars from The Planets)
II. 161102 VT4 before after UNI (after Chopin's Ballade No. 2)
(World première)
The idea for the pieces originated from Chew's earlier experiments to notate abnormal heart rhythms and to set them to music that mirrored the rhythms to highlight the parallels between music and abnormal heart rhythms. The rhythms for these pieces are transcribed from electrocardiographic recordings of ventricular tachycardia (VT) episodes, including segments before and after the VT episode. In the recording labeled 161122, VT is induced with short bursts of fast pacing and stopped with anti-tachycardia pacing. The rhythms generated are reminiscent of Holst's Mars from The Planets, hence the piece is composed from fragments of Holst's piece. In the recording marked 161102, VT starts and stops without electrical stimulation; irregularities in the pulse originate from the heart's own electrical activity. The sporadic premature beats in this recording formed a lilting pulse similar to that in Chopin's Ballade No. 2; thus, this piece was created from a collage of parts of Chopin's piece. The ECG sequences were excerpted by Orini from recordings of Lambiase's electrophysiology procedures at the Barts Heart Centre. Soberanes extracted the relevant waveform features; the rhythms of 161122 were transcribed by Krishna and that of 161102 by Ybarra, and Chew made the collages as part of a summer fellowship at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study.

I'm a hermit. Is it okay to be a hermit? I like to go for walks, and I certainly get enough Vitamin D by pulling weeds in the yard and hanging out at soccer practice, but if I had a choice I'd prefer to hang out at home in my jammies.
It's too bad WebVan went under. It'd be great to have milk, bananas, and orange juice delivered (why is it we're ALWAYS out of those things?).
And don't forget to bring fresh coffee.
There you go: that's a business venture to get behind! Breakfast delivery for lazy busy moms.
Or you could just load up the crockpot. it's probably easier.
Use a 6 quart slow cooker and spray the insert with cooking spray. Dump the still-frozen hashbrowns into the pot. In a mixing bowl, whip together the eggs and milk and stir in your cut up veggies, meat, and cheese.
Don't season right now, because your meat and veggies will have whatever flavor they had when they were first cooked (and ham and corned beef tend to have a lot of salt taste already), but instead season at the table. Pour this mixture on top of the hashbrowns.
Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours (it's exactly 7 in my elume) or on high for about 3-4. If you've never cooked breakfast overnight in your cooker, opt for the low end of the cooking time. You can always let it cook on high if it's not quite done in the morning, or let it happily sit on warm until you're wide awake and ready for breakfast.
This is a GREAT way to use up extra food from having company over or food left from holiday dinners. I know some of you are uncomfortable not having an exact recipe to follow, and I get it. I really do.
I promise though, that there is little room for error when crockpotting. If you like the ingredients going in, they'll taste good mixed in a casserole. If you can't stand asparagus, please don't use it! Use what tastes good TO YOU.
I know, I know. I sound like SUCH a mom...!
Absolutely you can be a hermit. And thanks for a recipe that includes hashbrowns. I've got some in the freezer I don't know what to do with.
I purposely left out almond because it's so sweet and I think it'd give the eggs a funky flavor.
but hey, if you normally use almond milk in eggs, go for it.
a tip for cooking at night...open the windows and leave a fan on, and hope your kitchen is far enough away from your bedroom. We often take the crockpot with us camping with hookups and will make a breakfast casserole, but in the trailer it was really hard to sleep with it cooking all night-I was sooo hungry! DH thought of putting it in the bathroom with the door closed and the fan running so the delicious smell blew away. It worked! And it is soooo cool to wake up to breakfast already made when you're on vacation.
A person could serve this for dinner, and call it "crustless quiche."
I have the same problem as Michelle! I made pulled pork overnight a couple weeks ago and woke up starving at 2 a.m. because of the delicious barbecue aroma. Thanks for all the recipes Stephanie. You rock!
I have a solution for those that wake up in the night smelling the food. That used to be me...and instead of making me hungry, it made me nauseous- like I had eaten the whole crockpot of food already.
Put it in the garage. Seriously.
You are my hero, Stephanie. For real. Breakfast is my absolute FAVORITE meal of the day. I could honestly eat breakfast from sun up to sundown. At least once a week in my house we have 'breakfast for dinner' and this seems like a fun new option for my clean out the pantry/being lazy night of slow cooking!
And I adore being a hermit so not having to go out to pick up a pizza or chinese makes this recipe even better!!
i always cook my food outside on my back patio- I don't like smelling food at night, in fact i don't really like smelling it all day either- by the time dinner rolls around i'm sick of it!
Oh, how I miss WebVan!
As autumn cools us down I have pulled out my crockpot once again and am thrilled to be back checking your blog. I hope your baby is doing well.
Glad to know that I am not the only hermit-wannabe out there LOL! This looks wonderful, I will definately give it a try...we love a good breakfast and I love using the crockpot, so perfect combo!
crockpot lady, i love you. waking up to a crock pot full of breakfast goodness???
just finished 3 months working all kinds of crazy hours, and will be on the road for a month straight later this fall...your recipes are going to enable some serious nesting/hermiting at chez moi pre-trip.
I saw a new line of McCormick's slow cooker seasoning packets at the grocery store today and wondered if you or your readers have tried them yet. Are they any good?
I am a hermit, too. Most mornings I work out, take a shower, then put on my pj's. Life is nice that way.
I agree totally that there's room for error when CrockPotting. And, I'm on board with no almond milk with eggs. Ugh. Rice milk is pretty neutral. I think it would well in your recipe.
Has anyone tried this with a combination of eggs and egg whites only instead of 8 eggs including yolks? Wondering if that would be okay or too rubbery. I'm trying to cut back on all that tasty cholesterol.


Starting out as a drummer, Colorado producer Paul Brandt aka Paul Basic joined a band with Derek Vincent Smith (Pretty Lights) and Michal Menert in high school before they each moved on to pursue solo production work. In fall 2011 Paul released his debut EP 'The Mirror' on Pretty Lights Music which features a gritty, nostalgic sound blending dusty samples, grainy synths, biting bass and thick drums – a combination that earned him an integral place within the PLM movement.
Paul's follow-up LP 'Transient Horizons' is a more refined delivery of his dark, heavy beats and shows a unique range of mood and musicality. The album features collaborations with Pretty Lights, Michal Menert, and Trophy Beats. Available now for free download from Pretty Lights Music.

How to Find Out if Your Member of Congress Is A Legitimate Candidate for Senate
Senator Al Franken (D-MN) has been the target of an onslaught of negative criticism from Republicans for his handling of the sexual harassment allegations against him.
Now that the sexual misconduct allegations have surfaced, Republicans are attempting to smear his legacy as a progressive and even a moderate.
It seems that a number of GOP senators, who are known to be progressive and moderate, have already announced their intention to run for Senate, though not all of them are expected to run.
The most high profile of these is Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR), who announced his intention to challenge Sen. Bernie Sanders in 2020.
Cotton has not announced whether he plans to run, and he is not expected to seek a sixth term in the Senate.
Sen. Marco Rubio (R – FL), who has been a staunch defender of President Donald Trump throughout the political crisis, has not been mentioned by name either, but he has been one of the most vocal critics of President Trump.
Senator Mike Lee (R – UT), another Republican senator who has not declared his intention, has also not announced his plans, though he has endorsed Sen. Cory Gardner (R, CO) in 2020, and has been endorsed by former Sen. Bob Casey (D, PA).
Sen. John McCain (R–AZ) has also been absent from the headlines for a number the reasons listed above.
The list of senators who have not announced their intentions is long, but there are some notable exceptions.
Sen.-elect Patrick Leahy (D – VT), who is the first member of the Republican majority to announce he will run for office, has said that he is considering running for the seat.
Leahy has said he would be open to running for a fourth term, though the senator himself has not commented on whether he will do so.
Sen.(R-VT), who served as president of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) during the 2016 campaign, is a former candidate for Vermont's governor.
He has not said whether he is planning to run or whether he would run for a sixth Senate term.
The only senator who notched up a term in Congress as a Democrat is Sen.(D-VA), who was appointed to the U.S. Senate by President George W. Bush in 2006.
He served in the role until 2008 when he left office.
Sen(D-WV), who also served as a senator from the state of Washington, is one of only a few Republican senators to have served as governor or as president.
He was elected governor of Virginia in 2020 and re-elected in 2022.
He also served in Congress for eight years.
Sen Bernie Sanders (I-VT) has not yet announced whether or not he will seek a fourth Senate term, but the Vermont senator has said it is "not off the table."
Sen(R-MS), who currently serves as the chairman of the Senate Budget Committee, is another Republican who has yet to announce his intentions for a future Senate term or whether or when he will be seeking a sixth.
Sen, who currently sits on the Senate Finance Committee, announced last year that he was seeking re-election in 2020 for a second term.
Sen Marco Rubio(R -FL), who serves on the Ways and Means Committee, has yet again not announced which way he will vote on a number issues, but is expected to vote against the Republican health care bill.
Sen Lindsey Graham (R — SC), who chairs the Senate Armed Services Committee, was a member of President George H.W. Bush's administration from 2001 to 2006.
In 2010, he became the first senator to be confirmed for reelection to the Senate, and currently serves on its Intelligence and Homeland Security Committees.
Sen Mark Kirk (R—IL), who will soon be a senator for Illinois, has been on the record as saying that he will not seek reelection to his seat in 2018.
In a speech to the conservative Heritage Foundation, Kirk said that his decision to seek reelection would be based on a "concrete set of priorities."
Sen Marco Gutierrez (D — FL), a member from Florida, has stated that he would not run for re-enchantment, and is expected not to announce any plans for a run.
Sen Tim Scott (R)— who is a member on the Armed Services and Foreign Relations Committees— has not stated whether he intends to run in 2020 or for another term in 2018, but it is expected that he may.
Sen Ron Johnson (R) of Wisconsin has not made any public announcements about his political ambitions, and his office has not responded to inquiries about whether he has considered running for another Senate term in 2020 if he decides to do so in 2020 after retiring.
Sen John Barrasso (R—-WY)— who served on the Intelligence Committee during the Bush Administration, and served as the chief deputy to President George HW Bush, has made no public announcements regarding his future plans.
Sen James Lankford (R––OK)—

Which Senate lawmakers will be on the losing end of a potential federal stimulus bill?


It's been a while since my last pancake post, we better fix that with some delicious blueberry pancakes. Yum!
These lightly sweet and fluffy pancakes, perfectly balanced with juicy, sweet-tart blueberries, are a real winner for any weekend brunch. What's more, the batter yields a fluffier pancake the longer it sits, so throw together the batter, and as it waits, you can prepare the remainder of the meal. Perfect!
With a mixture of whole wheat and all purpose flour, these pancakes are both light and hearty, and the fiber from both the blueberries and the whole wheat will keep you fueled all morning long.
Enjoy these topped with maple syrup, a pat of melted butter, or even this blueberry sauce and enjoy!
What is your favorite kind of pancake? Let me know below!
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, salt, cinnamon, baking powder and sugar.
In a small bowl, beat together egg, vanilla, melted butter and milk.
Stir milk mixture into flour mixture.
Spray skillet lightly with cooking spray or grease lightly with additional butter.
Pour the batter onto the skillet, using about 1/4 cup for each pancake.
Flip pancakes once top is bubbly and bottom is lightly golden brown.
Repeat with remaining batter and serve hot.
When I first saw the photo I thought "Wow, those are so thick!" I didn't know it was the resting time that caused it.
My mother-in-law just gave me a pancake pan to take with me to the north. I have to send you a photo of it, it's perfect pancake sized and cracked me up when I saw it. I guess now I'll need to try these pancakes.
That's awesome, I can't wait to see a picture. I have my favorite pancake pan, too. Though I don't think it was sold specifically as a "pancake pan."
Yes,the resting time is key as it allows the baking powder to do its thing and make everything rise nice and fluffy.
