Yeah it's a shame XBLIG hasn't grown bigger, I still suspect i'd sell more than Ouya though, be interested to see some sales figures.
That's not quite right, when MS put the last uprising (apart from Diehard Dungeon, the twats) on the main dash I sold more copies than the launch week of QRTH-PHYL. Not crazy breakout Humble Bundle retire type numbers but it wasn't nothing. I'm still thinking about putting another game out on XBLIG, it's still the only console+controller open app store.
I actually did all the audio on a ZX Spectrum audio chip, 3 channels of noise, square wave and an envelope controller thing, plus some effects and editing after record. I think the respawn noise is some processing on a currah microspeech though which was emulated cos I don't have one.
Thanks for the nice comments about qrth-phy, seems like people seem to get it.
I think I read Sidescroller is the game the character from Shooter is playing in his spaceship as he travels back to earth.
Thanks! Maybe it might work to launch at 80 then put the price up to 240 later? Kind of like Super Meat Boy launching with a sale. It's hard to do price experiments because every change of price has a 3 month lock in.
It is. FortressCraft selling tons too. I wish I never started Leave Home at 240, I'm pretty sure it would have done more than 3X better at 80. It's 80 or bust on XBLIG.
Looks cool, any plans for non nintendo platforms (steam, xblig, iOS)?
Could Apple announce a home console at E3?
The remote that comes with apple TV already has four directions and two buttons: Could be redesigned so it could be held sideways ala the wii-mote. Maybe stick some accelerometers in there? Make a dedicated app store. Bring the spec up to ipad2 level. Thousands of 59p (and free) games? Lots of the indie stuff that goes to XBLA/PSN? Rip-offs of all the Wii software?
Ben Bradley is in Sheffield, working on the cool looking Substream: http://www.benbradley.com/ Proteus is wonderful but playing it just makes me want more stuff to do in the world. Hopefully updates will add more.
Lemmy and Binky worked on Privates with Zombie Cow before this. Looking forward to this.
Oh yeah I hope so. P2P boards are so crappy. Wouldn't be surprised if they focused the next XNA update on kinect tho.
Super Crossfire for PC/Mac/iOS I believe.

Vail School District builds tiny home community for struggling teachers
Linda Williams' Reports
VAIL, Ariz. (KSAZ) - The community of Vail, Arizona has come up with a unique approach to their teacher pay problem, and it involves downsizing.
Sydney Scharer knows her math and teaches it passionately to 5th graders at an Elementary in the Vail School District in southeastern Arizona. But if you do the math, she and many young teachers can't afford to live in the community they teach in.
"That's impossible to do on a teacher's salary," said Scharer.
A fairly new teacher here makes $38,000 a year. Median home prices in Vail, over $260,000. Renting doesn't add up either at $1,200 a month.
The Vail School District knows this is a huge problem.
"Housing, affordable housing, especially for our younger teachers, is an issue and barrier and we're struggling to attract teachers and struggling to retain teachers," said John Carruth, Assistant Superintendent.
At a meeting last may, they did some brainstorming.
"Somebody said what about tiny houses and we kind of chuckled and then we said wait a minute what about tiny houses," said Carruth.
After gauging there was interest from dozens of school employees like Scharer, the district launched the project on five acres of land the district already owned in Vail.
They retain ownership of the property and lease home sites to district employees who buy or rent homes. They've put $200,000 into infrastructure.
Last July Scharer moved into the first tiny house completed by builder Luxtiny Homes.
"It really amazed me when I walked in how big it felt," said Scharer.
Scharer lives here with her fiancee and two dogs. It's two by four construction, fully insulated, 400 square feet, 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom with a kitchen area that leads into a living area.
"There's a lot of tiny house jokes," said Scharer. "One of the parents is like field trip to the tiny house. I'm like yeah you'd have to take them in one at a time."
But no one is laughing when they hear what she pays for rent...$550. With utilities and a fee to the district, Scharer pays less than $700 a month total for housing. She is now having a tiny home built next door which she will by. The price is in the mid 60s and the mortgage will be about the same as her rent now.
The plan right now is to build 23 more houses like this in the tiny home community for teachers. There is some pushback from people who say is this really the best way to deal with the teacher salary crunch, by asking teachers to downsize their lifestyle.
"I think in Arizona we are making some progress in the right direction in regard to education funding but for people like Sydney, they need help today, they need something today," said Carruth. "They can't wait so this is our way of offering them a different path."
A different path, a better path for Sydney Scharer. A young teacher who is saving for the future, has her dream job, will soon be surrounded by a community of teachers, and despite her square footage, she's living large.
"I don't call it a tiny house, I call it a small luxury home," said Scharer. "I have full size appliances, I have a big closet, I have a washer and dryer, I have every sort of appliance. I have cable and internet and AC, I have a huge porch. I don't have a tiny house, I have a home."

Q: Print screen with GWT I want to print a html page generated by GWT. I am using Window.print().
But when print is invoked only one page is printed.
Is there a way to print all pages?

A: We were able to print complete page by creating new window and adding inner html of current page to it and then executing print on it.
A class which provides the same functionality is shared at google code.

But when print is invoked only one page is printed.

Are you sure that this is a GWT's problem? The problem maybe  is in browser or in printer's configuration. Try to check this options.

Narrated by: Daniel Houle
In terms of geopolitics, perhaps the most seminal event of the Middle Ages was the successful Ottoman siege of Constantinople in 1453. The city had been an imperial capital as far back as the fourth century, when Constantine the Great shifted the power center of the Roman Empire there, effectively establishing two almost equally powerful halves of antiquity's greatest empire. Constantinople would continue to serve as the capital of the Byzantine Empire even after the Western half of the Roman Empire collapsed in the late fifth century.

Narrated by: Museum Audiobooks cast
Three of the world's great religions originated in the Middle East: Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. Before that, religion in ancient Babylonia and Egypt had a history of thousands of years. In Egypt, religious practice centered on the pharaohs who acted as intermediaries between their people and the gods. They were obligated to sustain the deities through rituals and offerings so that they could maintain Ma'at, the order of the cosmos. The state dedicated enormous resources to maintaining religious rituals and to the construction of temples.

A widely popular but also feared maverick operator, he helped to establish the Islamic Republic as a major force in the Middle East, with interventions in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, and Yemen.

In the West Bank, he met families struggling to lead normal lives amidst political turmoil and had a surreal encounter with the world's oldest and smallest religious sect.

Simona Halep Defeats Serena Williams To Win First Wimbledon Title
Simona Halep (photo credit: AFP)
Romanian tennis player Simona Halep on Saturday defeated Serena Williams at the Wimbledon final Saturday to win her maiden title.
The 27-year-old's 6-2 6-2 victory makes her the first Romanian to win a singles title at the All England Club and added to the French Open crown she claimed last summer.
This is the third time since Williams' return last spring from the birth of her daughter that she has been one victory away from finally equalling Margaret Court's all-time record for slam singles titles.
But, as she had against Angelique Kerber here 12 months ago and Naomi Osaka in New York, Williams once again fell short, seemingly unable to put thoughts of history out of her mind.
Enormous credit, though, must go to Halep, who showed herself to be not just one of tennis' great defenders, chasing down everything Williams could throw at her, but also a strong attacking force.
The Duchesses of Cambridge and Sussex had front row seats in the Royal Box, the latter desperately hoping to see her close friend Williams have her moment.
But it was Halep's day, the Romanian needing just 56 minutes to race to victory, dropping to her knees when Williams' final forehand hit the net.

Stairway to Heaven: Life and Death in the Visions of Salvador Dalí
Wednesday, Jan. 20 - Monday, Feb. 8, 2021
Recurring daily
Time: 10:00:00 to 16:00:00
Biggs Museum of American Art
406 Federal St.
Price: $10.00, Seniors $8.00
Stairway to Heaven: Life and Death in the Visions of Salvador Dalí Illustrations for Les Chants de Maldoror and The Divine Comedy December 4, 2020 – February 8, 2021 Salvador Dalí (1904-1989) is among the most recognized and eccentric artists of the 20th century. He layered the surreal imagery of his "paranoiac-critical method" onto hundreds of artworks, including paintings, theatrical designs, films, architecture, sculptures, jewelry and fine art prints, such as those featured in Life and Death in the Visions of Salvador Dalí. Created for two publications, the artworks in this exhibition signal two distinct periods in Dalí's career: the hedonism of his youth and the redemption he sought later in life. These two sets of artworks also signal his transition from Surrealism to Mysticism, which can be seen in this exhibition through his unwavering technical mastery in printmaking and draftsmanship. With nearly 150 individual artworks on view, this exhibition provides an expansive selection to interpret Dalí's dream-like subjects. Dalí was born and academically trained in Spain. Instead of finishing his education, the burgeoning artist went to Paris where he was surrounded by modern painters such as Pablo Picasso, René Magritte and Joan Miró. However, his romantic painting style and fine draftsmanship, as well as his unusual tactics of attracting attention, gained him a home with the growing Surrealist movement of the 1920s. His technical skill and his audacious self-promotion cemented his popularity. This early and shocking imagery was later replaced with ethereal and religious subjects that further endeared an ever-widening patron base to his mystical subjects. Under the influence of intimate friends and poets such as Federico García Lorca and André Breton, Dalí became equally infatuated with the sadistic and amoral subjects of the Surrealist icon, the Count of Lutréamont (pseudonym of the French Uruguayan romantic poet Isidore Lucien Ducasse). Dalí was soon asked to supply illustrations for a reprinting of the Count of Lutréamont's epic poem, Les Chants de Maldoror (1868-9). The artist created 44 original intaglio prints for the publication. Less illustrations of the Maldoror narrative, Dalí's prints are more like the early paintings that he was creating at this time – a personal reflection into his own mental health and dramatic lifestyle. This was among his earliest book projects; however, Dalí would supply artworks for dozens of publications in his lifetime, including Shakespearean plays, Alice in Wonderland and The Divine Comedy, to name a few. Dalí originally began illustrating The Divine Comedy as a commission by the Italian state with papal approval, to commemorate the 700-year anniversary of the birth of its author, the poet Dante Alighieri. Due to Dalí's Spanish heritage and early blasphemous attitude, his agreement to illustrate this centrally important biblical Italian text fell through. Instead, he personally oversaw the creation of woodblock prints replicating all 100 of the watercolors he produced for the project. From an astounding 3,500 individually carved printing blocks, the series of prints was produced over four long years. The result was a portfolio of 100 fine art prints corresponding to The Divine Comedy and among the most expensive books ever produced.

The gisaeng—often referred to as kisaeng—were highly-trained artist women in ancient Korea who entertained men with music, conversation, and poetry in much the same way as Japanese geisha. Highly skilled gisaeng served in the royal court, while others worked in the homes of the "yangban"—or scholar-officials. Some gisaeng were trained in other fields as well such as nursing though lower-ranked gisaeng also served as prostitutes.
Technically, the gisaeng were members of the "cheonmin" or slave class as most officially belonged to the government, which registered them. Any daughters born to gisaeng were required to become gisaeng in turn.
The gisaeng were also known as "flowers that speak poetry." They likely originated in the Goryeo Kingdom from 935 to 1394 and continued to exist in different regional variations through the Joseon era of 1394 through 1910.
Following the mass displacement that happened to start the Goryeo Kingdom—the fall of the Later Three Kingdoms—many nomadic tribes formed in early Korea, scarring the first king of Goryeo with their sheer number and the potential for civil war. As a result, Taejo, the first king, ordered that these traveling groups—called Baekje—be enslaved to work for the kingdom instead.
The term gisaeng was first mentioned in the 11th century, though, so it may have taken a while for scholars in the capital to begin reappropriating these slave-nomads as artisans and prostitutes. Still, many believe their first use was more for tradable skills like sewing, music, and medicine.
During the reign of Myeongjong from 1170 to 1179, the increased number of gisaeng living and working in the city forced the king to begin taking a census of their presence and activities. This also brought with it the formation of the first schools for these performers, which were called gyobangs. Women who attended these schools were enslaved exclusively as high-end court entertainers, their expertise often being used to amuse visiting dignitaries and the ruling class alike.
In the later Joseon era, the gisaeng continued to prosper despite general apathy toward their plight from the ruling class. Perhaps because of the sheer power these women had established under Goryeo rule or perhaps because of the new Joseon rulers fearing dignitaries' carnal transgressions in the absence of gisaengs, they maintained their right to perform in ceremonies and within the courts throughout the era.
However, the last king of the Joseon Kingdom and first emperor of the newly established Empire of Korea, Gojong, abolished the social status of the gisaeng and slavery altogether when he took the throne as part of the Gabo Reform of 1895.
Still to this day, gisaeng lives on in the teachings of gyobangs which encourage women, not as slaves but as artisans, to carry on the sacred, time-honored tradition of Korean dance and art.

His Royal Highness The Crown Prince And Senior Minister At The Prime Minister's Office Addresses The Opening Ceremony of The ASEAN Business Awards 2021
His Royal Highness Prince Haji Al-Muhtadee Billah ibni His Majesty Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah Mu'izzaddin Waddaulah, the Crown Prince and Senior Minister at the Prime Minister's Office delivered a sabda at the Opening Session of the ASEAN Business Awards (ABA) 2021 in Brunei Darussalam via video recording.
His Royal Highness in the sabda said the COVID-19 pandemic has evolved rapidly from a health emergency to a global economic crisis, and has negatively impacted the private sector. Nevertheless, the region has been showing signs of economic recovery in 2021, and the private sector has played a fundamental role in supporting the region's efforts.
His Royal Highness stressed the importance of strengthening the collaboration between the public and private sectors to pursue a sustainable recovery from the pandemic. His Royal Highness added that the public and private sectors will undoubtedly help identify economic opportunities and relevant actions to further support the businesses in developing a strong foundation and explore new innovative ways to do business.
His Royal Highness highlighted that programmes such as the ASEAN Business Roundtables, ASEAN Business and Investment Summit and the ASEAN Business Awards shows great things can be achieved when government and the private sector work hand in hand.
His Royal Highness further stated that rapid technological advancement is reshaping our economic environment. Therefore the private sector, in particular the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), must effectively adapt in today's globalised digital economy by upgrading their capacities, as well as by tapping into new markets abroad.
In closing the sabda, His Royal Highness congratulated this year's award winners, not just for their resiliency in facing challenges brought about by the pandemic but also efforts in areas such as Sustainability, Skills Development and Women Entrepreneurs. His Royal Highness applauds sponsorships received from corporate; for dedicating their income for social purposes which they will be recognized by the Brunei Special Award for Emerging Social Enterprises. His Royal Highness looked forward to the continuous collaboration between the private and public sectors to achieve a more dynamic, sustainable and competitive environment.
ABA is a premier annual ceremony held to honour outstanding businesses in Southeast Asia for their achievements in sustainable growth rates and significant contributions to the prosperity of the region's economy. The awards ceremony provides a strategic approach for businesses to enhance their visibility so they could continue advancing their creative spirit in a time of constantly changing situations. At the same time, businesses also have the opportunity to expand their networks within the ASEAN region and on the global business community stage.

The runes do have six different colors and symbols of the Futhark, a early germanic alphabet. A rune can only be placed next to runes of the same color or symbol. The more neighbors a rune has, the more points you will get.

Q: Java - как получить информацию из HTML-страницы Пишу приложение на Java, связанное с парсингом исходного кода страницы. Вопрос заключается в следующем. Пытаюсь парсить исходный код следующим образом:
Document doc = Jsoup.connect("http://example.com/").get();

Парсится нормально. Но(!) смотрю полученый исходный код - там не все блоки. К примеру, в браузере с помощью "Исследовать элемент" я этот блок и всё, что в нем есть вижу, а в полученом исходном коде с помощью Jsoup этого блока нет. Собственно, вопрос: как парсить весь исходный код целиком?

A: Вероятнее всего желаемый элемент создается при помощи JavaScript кода запускаемым браузером и/или с помощью дополнительных API запросов. JSoup - это не браузер и в нем нет JavaScript движка. В doc Вы получаете исходный "статический" HTML.
Вариантов решить эту проблему несколько:

*

*автоматизировать настоящий браузер через selenium, открыть желаемую страницу в selenium-powered браузере, дать ему выполнить свою работу по загрузке страницы и пропарсить нужные данные; далее либо получить исходный код страницы через getPageSource() и отдать это JSoup на парсинг, либо продолжить спользовать selenium webdriver API

*инспектировать, как загружается и формируется страница (с помощью browser developer tools), если браузер делает дополнительные реквесты, повторить их в своем Java коде

Также иногда бывает, что нужные данные уже присутствуют в HTML, но только в другом месте. Например, иногда в script тегах - тоже проверьте это.


We're looking for a Strategic Programme Manager to lead on our physical activity programme to collate existing research evidence, insight, learning and practical experiences while working alongside people with arthritis and musculoskeletal conditions to enable us to determine the best way of tackling barriers and build opportunities to increase activity levels so that people with arthritis are able to lead full and active lives.
If you have the drive, adaptability, confidence appraising research evidence and excellent interpersonal skills to help define, develop and ensure the effective management of our cross-organisational project in support of our physical activity strategy, then we'd like to hear from you!
As our Strategic Programme Manager you will report to the Director of Policy, Health and Social Care Improvement. You will synthesise and derive recommendations from the insight that sits across the charity (beneficiary, supporter and market insights) alongside evidence from research, published guidelines and existing physical activity programmes. Based upon this analysis, the postholder will propose a practical, impactful and sustainable programme of activity that will enable Versus Arthritis to support people with arthritis and musculoskeletal conditions to improve their health through increased physical activity.
This role will suit a candidate able to evaluate evidence and opportunity and use this to develop consensus amongst beneficiaries and stakeholders and define an impactful and sustainable programme of activity. Your analysis, drive, inter-personal skills, creative problem-solving and confidence will be used to help define, develop and plan for a long-term programme of activity.
Significant experience of planning, managing, delivering and evaluating a range of projects.
Experience working with multiple stakeholders, in complex organisations, to deliver large-scale and/or national programmes of work.
A sophisticated understanding of the charity sector, and the dynamics around business decision making, change and strategic planning.
Ability to influence, negotiate and persuade others in a wide setting including senior leaders in the organisation, external stakeholders and internal colleagues.
Email your completed application by midnight on Sunday 31 March.
Second interviews are planned for Tuesday 16 April in London.
We are Versus Arthritis. We are volunteers, healthcare professionals, researchers and friends, all doing everything we can to push back against arthritis. We're reaching out to everybody with the information and support they need, funding vital research and changing the way society sees arthritis. Together we'll keep running, researching, influencing, volunteering, advising, chatting, baking, listening. We won't stop until no-one has to tolerate living with the pain, fatigue and isolation of arthritis.
Read more about what we do, working for us and what we offer.

Clothesline Fresh in the 80's was best. Downhill since then. . New Downy all stinks like vitamins too. Weird B 12 aroma.
If you want to make a new scent, fine. But the new "original" scent is gross. My clothes smell like those pine tree things that you buy at the gas station. I guess I'll be switching brands.

Routes and Roots of American History
"Art among a religious race produces relics; among a military one, trophies; among a commercial one, articles of trade." ~ Henry Fuseli
Culture and religion has been at the root of American civilization. In Frederick, Maryland there are a wealth of attractions including roads and byways that hold great interest for visitors to this area who wish to understand the founding principles and history of our country. The National Scenic Byway, a 38 mile stretch of land from Frederick County to the Catoctin Mountains is dubbed the Hallowed Ground. Many soldiers fighting for our country's independence lost their lives along this route.
Attractions that collectively represent the beginnings of trade, politics, culture and spirituality throughout our country's history can be found throughout this region. To name a few:
The National Shrine of Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton – dedicated to the first canonized Saint.
The C & O Canal (Chesapeake and Ohio) explores the history of shipping.
The Shifferstadt Architectural Museum highlights the finest examples of German colonial architecture.
The Barbara Fritchie House commemorates the author of the poem that described waving the American flag in the face of the Confederate Army.
Weinberg Centerof the Arts houses the original Wurlitzer pipe organ.
Visit the All Saint Street Neighborhood – the center of commerce and entertainment during the latter part of the 19th century for African Americans.
America's replica of the famous Grotto of Lourdes in France is represented at the National Shrine Grotto of Our Lady of the Lourdes at Mount St. Mary's University.
The John Hanson House, the Ramsey House and the Roger Brooke Taney House all hold significance in some aspect of early American history by those that occupied them or visited them.
Battlefields of Gettysburg and Antietam are located close by.
We have only touched lightly on a place that the National Trust for Historic Preservation has named as a Great American Main Street community. There are so many things to see and do. The designation as a 2010 Top Arts Destination by American Style Magazine only strengthens this small city's position as one of America's Dozen Distinctive Destinations.
To obtain a travel packet of information on this region, visit www.fredericktourism.org. I hope some of the readers of this blogsite have the opportunity to visit this area. It was a fulfilling trip and I would like to return again to take in more of the sites and scenes.

Artfully Restoring America
"The only thing that can save the world is the reclaiming of the awareness of the world." ~ Allen Ginsberg
Several days ago, I returned to a town that I had not visited in almost twenty years. I was blown away by the change that has taken place in what used to be a run-down town filled with uncared for historic Federal Style buildings in the heart of the Civil War heritage Area.Frederick, amid the rolling hills and abundant farmland of Frederick County, Maryland has become a charming and vibrant community that has been designated as one of America's Dozen Distinctive Destinations and as a Preserve America Community http://bit.ly/pwZygfy. It was named a 2010 Top Arts Destinations by American Style Magazine http://bit.ly/aj5eGd in the Small Cities category.
At the center of it all, are now vibrant shops, charming restaurants, and Federal style buildings that have been salvaged, restored, and renewed. Great testimony for the argument that rather than building new, America should be reclaiming spaces and places to bring life back into existing towns and cities.
I took a walking tour of the city, strolling along the beautifully restored area of town along side the Carroll Creek, an estuary of the MonocacyRiver. I came across the Delaplaine Visual Arts Education Center www.delaplaine.org and looked in on three exhibits that I thoroughly enjoyed.
It is fair time in Frederick! In the upper hall way of the brick cannery building reclaimed as Art Space, was an exhibit of black and white photos that brought back nostalgic memories of State Fairs. A second exhibit, a National Juried Quilt Exhibit was one the best selections of Art Quilts that I have seen. Few quilts were of the ilk that you see on Grandmother's beds and it was interesting to see how the names of the quilts were carried out in the artistic creation of the quilts.
The third exhibit – Painting with Thread by Joanne Bast http://bit.ly/qfKBx6 were canvases that had been so densely stitched with thread that they created fiber paintings of iconic Chesapeake Bay scenes, charming homes or gardens, and in street scenes of other places. One of my favorites appeared to be perhaps a village in Italy.
The Delaplaine Visual Arts Education Center was just the start of my afternoon tour of Frederick. Major support for this vibrant, restored Art Space is provided by the Delaplaine Foundation, the Ausherman Family Foundation, www.fredericktourism.org and the Maryland State Arts Council.
Join me next time for more of my travels through Frederick. In a new millennium, this town is finding success in artistically fulfilling their vision, of a vibrant community through heart and spirit.

Q: Report filter on 1-to-many joined tables I have a report that shows maintenance information for medical instruments. The selection criteria are based on several tables and fields. I needed to change the criteria, but results were not as expected. I managed to find the cause, but do not know what to do to get to the wanted situation.
So basically the problem is as follows:
I have 2 tables that are linked:
* Equipment (information related to a specific instrument eg EqmId)
* ObjectFeature (information related to a specific feature eg ObjfEqmId, ObjfId, ObjfYesno)
An equipment can have 0, 1 or many ObjectFeatures, and the tables are linked via
Equipment.EqmId -> ObjectFeature.ObjfEqmId with a left-outer join.
The problem I have is that i want to filter out al EqmId's where (ObjfId="64" and ObjfYesno=1). I do not want to see these EqmId's in the final list.
In my current setup, I have only removed the ObjfId="64" lines, but since an EqmId can have multiple features, it still is present in the list...
In my original report Equipment is my main table, so I need a way to filter this table before I do further filtering and joining.
I find myself limited in the selection formula, and thought of using a SQL command on the database. But I can't get my head around how to do this.
How and where should I do the filtering?

Q: libpcap on iOS ,the pcap_next() always return null I am a beginner of iOS and my design of graduation is to develope a app that can capture packets on iOS.
I use the libpcap library .My iPhone is JB and I can already run app as root. More specificly,I can get my net_interface :en0,but I can't capture any packet.The pcap_next() always return null.
this is my code :
-(IBAction)capture:(id)sender{
    char error_content[PCAP_ERRBUF_SIZE];
    char *net_interface=NULL;
    net_interface=pcap_lookupdev(error_content);
    NSString *devstr = [[NSString alloc] initWithUTF8String:net_interface];
    text1.text=devstr;

    pcap_t *pcap_handle;
    pcap_handle = pcap_open_live(net_interface, BUFSIZ, 0, 2, error_content);

    struct pcap_pkthdr packet_capture;
    const u_char *packet_flag;
    packet_flag= pcap_next(pcap_handle, &packet_capture);
    if (!packet_flag) {
        text2.text=@"capture failed";
    }
    else{
       NSString *length =[[NSString alloc]initWithFormat:@"the length of packet is         %d",packet_capture.len];
       text2.text=length;
       [length release];
    }
       pcap_close(pcap_handle);
    }
@end

If someone have the similar exp about it or know how to solve it,I would be much grateful if you can contact me via liangweidarth@gmail.com .

A: packet_flag= pcap_next(pcap_handle, &packet_capture);
if (!packet_flag) {
    text2.text=@"capture failed";
}

To quote the pcap_next() man page:

pcap_next() returns a pointer to the packet data on success, and returns NULL if  an  error occured, or if no packets were read from a live capture (if, for example, they were discarded because they didn't pass the packet filter, or if, on platforms that support a read timeout that starts before any packets arrive, the timeout expires before any packets arrive, or if the file descriptor for the capture device is in non-blocking mode and no packets were available to be read), or if no more  packets are available in a ``savefile.''  Unfortunately, there is no way to determine whether an error occured or not.

iOS, like OS X, is built atop a 4.4-Lite-derived OS, and uses BPF; BPF is a packet that supports a read timeout that starts before any packets arrive and, given that you specified 2 as the timeout argument to pcap_open_live(), the timeout is 2 milliseconds, so, if no packet arrives within 2 milliseconds after you call pcap_next(), pcap_next() will return NULL.
You made the right choice by using pcap_loop().  pcap_next() is not a very good API; pcap_next_ex() is better, as are pcap_dispatch() and pcap_loop().


Labor takes a vacation every February in Bal Harbour when the executive council of the AFL-CIO meets on the beach to do business, enjoy the balmy weather and spend a few dollars in South Florida.
The labor federation, for the first time in 34 years, may not hit the beach. It doesn't like the non-union contractor that the Sheraton Bal Harbour hired for a year-long project to renovate the hotel.
The winter meeting brings the top leadership of the 33 member unions of the AFL-CIO to South Florida. It tends to throw a spotlight on labor issues in Florida, which is sometimes indifferent to the union agenda.
With about 500 guests, the meeting is among the larger annual events at the hotel.
Rene Schmitt, resident manager of the Sheraton Bal Harbour said no decision has been announced. "We're still confident they're coming," he said.
Rex Hardesty, an AFL-CIO spokesman, said a story in The Wall Street Journal saying the union had called off the mid-February visit is premature. "There is still a possibility we may come," he said.
A decision is expected after AFL-CIO meetings in Washington, D.C., this week and next week, Schmitt said.
Local construction unions have picketed the 735-room hotel because a non- union general contractor was hired for the renovation, but Schmitt said the disagreement has been settled.
"We do not have any open grievances," he said.
Said Hardesty: "It's a very complicated picture. There certainly has been some concern by the building trades unions down there about what the Sheraton chain has done."
