Shaping TV Comedy and American Culture
Interest Level: Grade 6 - Grade 12
In 1975 Saturday Night Live came out of the gate swinging, with a daring, bold, and rebellious vibe that was new to television back then. With a cast of comedic actors known as the Not Ready for Prime Time Players, television producer Lorne Michaels launched a style of live television comedy that appealed specifically to young viewers with a taste for questioning authority—and that style stood the test of time. From hilarious characters—the Conehead family, Wayne Campbell, the Spartan cheerleaders, the Target Lady, and Stefon—to impressions of US presidents and politicians performed with spot-on precision, the late-night comedy show has shaped American comedy for four decades.
With millions of loyal fans across a wide range of viewership demographics, Saturday Night Live has made a significant impact on American culture. It introduced catchphrases such as "Well, isn't that special?" and "More cowbell!" It influenced public opinion through satirical political sketches and news commentary. It provided rich material for box office hits such as The Blues Brothers and Wayne's World. It created megastars out of dozens of comedians. And in the process, the show earned an impressive roster of accolades including thirty-six Primetime Emmy Awards, a Peabody Award, and three Writers Guild of America Awards. It's been ranked as one of the greatest shows of all time and has been inducted into the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) Broadcasting Hall of Fame. Discover how the SNL brand of raucous humor has stayed meaningful and fresh over the years and continues to draw audiences today.

"This book would be very useful for pop culture studies."―Library Media Connection

They say dying is easy; it's comedy that's hard. And writing about comedy is hard as well. Kaplan does a fine job of detailing the history of the iconic TV show Saturday Night Live, introducing some of the cast's biggest stars over the eras. But chronicling their finest bits—Eddie Murphy's Mister Rogers' Neighborhood, Dana Carvey's Church Lady, Tiny Fey as Sarah Palin—doesn't work very well, especially for those readers who've never seen them. However, there are other things this book does very well: explaining the show's social and political impact; introducing the controversies regarding the show's slowness in hiring writers and performers of color (and the perception of the show as a 'boys' club'); and showing how a weekly live television show comes together. The book contains plenty of great photographs that may entice readers to find old clips of memorable moments on YouTube. A bibliography, a quiz, and a list of SNL writers who went on to other things (Al Franken, U.S. senator) concludes.

I'm often asked how you could possibly do agile software development given a fixed budget. The good news is that, yes, in many cases, it is in fact possible to work under these sorts of restrictions and still be agile. Because your budget isn't the only potential restriction you may face, this presentation will help you frame those kind of projects and explain potential caveats you may encounter during the project.

This repository contains the Nim compiler, Nim's stdlib, tools and documentation.
For more information about Nim, including downloads and documentation for
the latest release, check out [Nim's website][nim-site].

* The [forum][nim-forum] - the best place to ask questions and to discuss Nim.
* [#nim IRC Channel (Freenode)][nim-irc] - a place to discuss Nim in real-time.
  Also where most development decisions get made.
* [Gitter][nim-gitter] - an additional place to discuss Nim in real-time. There
  is a bridge between Gitter and the IRC channel.
* [Stack Overflow][nim-stackoverflow] - a popular Q/A site for programming related
  topics that includes posts about Nim.
* [Github Wiki][nim-wiki] - Misc user-contributed content.

## Compiling
The compiler currently officially supports the following platform and
architecture combinations:

  * Windows (Windows XP or greater) - x86 and x86_64
  * Linux (most, if not all, distributions) - x86, x86_64, ppc64 and armv6l
  * Mac OS X (10.04 or greater) - x86, x86_64 and ppc64

More platforms are supported, however they are not tested regularly and they
may not be as stable as the above-listed platforms.

Compiling the Nim compiler is quite straightforward if you follow these steps:

First, the C source of an older version of the Nim compiler is needed to
bootstrap the latest version because the Nim compiler itself is written in the
Nim programming language. Those C sources are available within the
[``nim-lang/csources``][csources-repo] repository.

Next, to build from source you will need:

  * A C compiler such as ``gcc`` 3.x/later or an alternative such as ``clang``,
    ``Visual C++`` or ``Intel C++``. It is recommended to use ``gcc`` 3.x or
    later.
  * Either ``git`` or ``wget`` to download the needed source repositories.
  * The ``build-essential`` package when using ``gcc`` on Ubuntu (and likely
    other distros as well).

Then, if you are on a \*nix system or Windows, the following steps should compile
Nim from source using ``gcc``, ``git`` and the ``koch`` build tool (in the place
of ``sh build.sh`` you should substitute ``build.bat`` on x86 Windows or
``build64.bat`` on x86_64 Windows):

```
git clone https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim.git
cd Nim
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/nim-lang/csources.git
cd csources
sh build.sh
cd ../
bin/nim c koch
./koch boot -d:release
```

Finally, once you have finished the build steps (on Windows, Mac or Linux) you
should add the ``bin`` directory to your PATH.

## Koch
``koch`` is the build tool used to build various parts of Nim and to generate
documentation and the website, among other things. The ``koch`` tool can also
be used to run the Nim test suite.

Assuming that you added Nim's ``bin`` directory to your PATH, you may execute
the tests using ``./koch tests``. The tests take a while to run, but you
can run a subset of tests by specifying a category (for example
``./koch tests cat async``).

For more information on the ``koch`` build tool please see the documentation
within the [doc/koch.rst](doc/koch.rst) file.

## Nimble
``nimble`` is Nim's package manager and it can be acquired from the
[``nim-lang/nimble``][nimble-repo] repository. Assuming that you added Nim's
``bin`` directory to your PATH, you may install Nimble from source by running
``koch nimble`` within the root of the cloned repository.

We welcome all contributions to Nim regardless of how small or large
they are. Everything from spelling fixes to new modules to be included in the
standard library are welcomed and appreciated. Before you start contributing,
you should familiarize yourself with the following repository structure:

* ``bin/``, ``build/`` - these directories are empty, but are used when Nim is built.
* ``compiler/`` - the compiler source code. Also includes nimfix, and plugins within
  ``compiler/nimfix`` and ``compiler/plugins`` respectively.
* ``nimsuggest`` - the nimsuggest tool that previously lived in the [``nim-lang/nimsuggest``][nimsuggest-repo] repository.
* ``config/`` - the configuration for the compiler and documentation generator.
* ``doc/`` - the documentation files in reStructuredText format.
* ``lib/`` - the standard library, including:
    * ``pure/`` - modules in the standard library written in pure Nim.
    * ``impure/`` - modules in the standard library written in pure Nim with
    dependencies written in other languages.
    * ``wrappers/`` - modules which wrap dependencies written in other languages.
* ``tests/`` - contains categorized tests for the compiler and standard library.
* ``tools/`` - the tools including ``niminst`` and ``nimweb`` (mostly invoked via
  ``koch``).
* ``web/`` - [the Nim website][nim-site].
* ``koch.nim`` - tool used to bootstrap Nim, generate C sources, build the website,
  and generate the documentation.

If you are not familiar with making a pull request using GitHub and/or git, please
read [this guide][pull-request-instructions].

Ideally you should make sure that all tests pass before submitting a pull request.
However, if you are short on time, you can just run the tests specific to your
changes by only running the corresponding categories of tests. Travis CI verifies
that all tests pass before allowing the pull request to be accepted, so only
running specific tests should be harmless.
Integration tests should go in ``tests/untestable``.

If you're looking for ways to contribute, please look at our [issue tracker][nim-issues].
There are always plenty of issues labelled [``Easy``][nim-issues-easy]; these should
be a good starting point for an initial contribution to Nim.

You can also help with the development of Nim by making donations. Donations can be
made using:

* [Open Collective](https://opencollective.com/nim)
* [Bountysource][nim-bountysource]
* [Bitcoin][nim-bitcoin]

If you have any questions feel free to submit a question on the
[Nim forum][nim-forum], or via IRC on [the \#nim channel][nim-irc].

An authority on the twentieth-century philosopher Martin Buber (1878-1965), Paul Mendes-Flohr offers the first major biography in English in thirty years of this seminal modern Jewish thinker. The book is organized around several key moments, such as his sudden abandonment by his mother when he was a child of three, a foundational trauma that, Mendes-Flohr shows, left an enduring mark on Buber's inner life, attuning him to the fragility of human relations and the need to nurture them with what he would call a "dialogical attentiveness."
Buber's philosophical and theological writings, most famously I and Thou, made significant contributions to religious and Jewish thought, philosophical anthropology, biblical studies, political theory, and Zionism. In this accessible new biography, Mendes-Flohr situates Buber's life and legacy in the intellectual and cultural life of German Jewry as well as in the broader European intellectual life of the first half of the twentieth century.

Last November we welcomed a cat into our family. Actually, "welcome" may be too kind a word. But –whatever — bottom line is: we now have a cat. Our dog Moe of course, was there first and it's his turf. But he did attempt a friendly welcome to the new animal. I think he really wanted to be friends, or at least he seemed willing to sniff out the possibilities. But the cat would have none of it. She made it very clear . . . with her teeth and with a frightening guttural hissing sound . . . that she and the dog, at best, would have a parallel existence in the house. They would NOT be friends. If Moe kept his distance, they could co-exist, but nothing more. Moe has not forgotten that message. And he knows how to avoid trouble.
So he does not go near the cat. Now Moe loves popcorn and he would leap any obstacle and move heaven and earth to get to a kernel of popcorn tossed his direction. But if it lands near the cat – no, thanks. He will not take the risk. The other day we heard him crying in the basement and wondered what could have had him trapped down there. And then we discovered that the cat was sleeping on the steps and he was not about to cross her path. Moe instinctively knows how to guard his own safety.
In our Gospel for today, Jesus is warned about a fox, King Herod, who wants to kill Jesus. It is suggested that he stays out of Herod's way and avoid a confrontation which was probably wise advice, even if it did come from the Pharisees. But it was advice Jesus didn't need because has never been too concerned about his personal safety.
King Herod is really not someone to dismiss so easily. At the time of our Gospel reading, he has already shown himself capable of cruel violence; he is the one who ordered John the Baptist's head served up to him on a platter. Herod's father was the one who commanded that all the baby boys in Bethlehem be slaughtered. The Herods have the weight of Roman authority on their side to support their evil schemes. So when King Herod speaks, armed guards march off to accomplish the bloody task. No, Herod is not to be sneezed at.
So where does Jesus get this courage to face off with Herod? How can he be so brave to step into a place where he will get bit . . . and even killed? Jesus is driven by his mission: to heal – to save – to love – to die. "I will drive out demons and heal people today and tomorrow and on the third day I will reach my goal. I must keep going today and tomorrow and next day for surely no prophet can die outside Jerusalem." Jesus will "keep going" – no matter what the threats to his person — until he has given all he has – until he reaches the cross.
If Jesus had been concerned about his safety, he would not have left heaven to begin with. Instead, he embraced complete vulnerability. Scripture says he emptied himself. That's what he went to Jerusalem to do! That's why he wasn't afraid of Herod.
Jesus words in our Gospel today about a possible run-in with Herod are recorded only by the evangelist Luke. And as you might expect, Luke is the only one who reports what happened when Jesus met up with King Herod! If you think Jesus is looking for a fight when he calls Herod a fox or if you expect that Jesus is going to tell Herod off, you be surprised by what actually happened.
Fast forward a few chapters in Luke and we read:
When Herod saw Jesus, he was greatly pleased, because for a long time he had been wanting to see him. From what he had heard about him, he hoped to see him perform a sign of some sort. 9 He plied him with many questions, but Jesus gave him no answer. 10 The chief priests and the teachers of the law were standing there, vehemently accusing him. 11 Then Herod and his soldiers ridiculed and mocked him. Dressing him in an elegant robe, they sent him back to Pilate.
Jesus gave no answer? This was his chance to put Herod in his place! To defend himself! To reveal his true nature! To do a miracle! At least to speak up. That's what WE would have done, perhaps, if we'd had the courage.
But in his silence we see a man so courageous that he was not afraid to let it all go on our behalf. He was so unconcerned for his own safety and so completely wrapped up in what he must do for us that he went all the way.
There is a British comedy called "Keeping Up Appearances" about an English lady named Hyacinth who is constantly concerned for herself and how others perceive her which leads to all kinds of funny situations. She and her long-suffering husband Richard go out on a drive one day in the country looking for ancient Iron Age ruins – something all her friends have done. Hyacinth has her brochure telling them what to look for and she has her husband up in a tree trying to get a better look. But Richard is afraid of heights and is really struggling. He finally calls down to her, "I feel extremely unsafe." "Oh Richard," she says. "Here we are in the pursuit of history. And all you can think about is your safety."
It's a toss-up as to who looks for more foolish in that scene. But there's no question that we who are so obsessed with avoiding risk, protecting our reputation, trying to look good, defending ourselves, standing up for our rights are doing the exact opposite of what Jesus did and what he calls us to do.
Jesus said, "I cannot leave those I love in their brokenness." We say, "If would be safer for me to leave things as they are."
Jesus said, "I will give my life for them." We say, "It would be more prudent for me to hold back a little."
Jesus said, "I will go to Jerusalem and die for them." We say, "It would be better for me to stay in my comfort zone."
Jesus went to the cross – that's where his courage took him. And He wants to gather us under the shadow of that cross. His arms are stretched out . . . like wings. He wants us to find freedom there – freedom to take the risks of love. He wants us to find our salvation there – salvation from self-centered living. He offers a safety there – not the kind that caters to self, but the kind that promises life with him.
That's the point of our gathering here together. To huddle under the cross and to find our courage – the courage to empty ourselves. That's why he gathers us here around himself here at this table, so that we can find our way and follow him all the way.

Poor Moe!


Google reader is an amazing web-based feed reading application. One of it's most outstanding features is the ability to archive feeds, and show you posts from the feed regardless of when you subscribe. You see, normally, RSS and ATOM feeds only contain the 10-30 of the most recently posted items, but since Google Reader stores all the posts from the subscribed feeds, they're (usually) all available if you keep scrolling down in the interface.
This makes it an awesome feed caching and archival tool. However, not many people are aware that you can actually extract the data back out, in one mega standard ATOM file.
…where FEED_URL is the address of the feed and NUMBER_OF_ITEMS the number of posts to extract.
For example, http://www.google.com/reader/atom/feed/http://feeds.feedburner.com/blogspot/MKuf?r=n&n=100 should return the latest 100 posts from the Official Google Blog as an ATOM/XML file.
It took several minutes for Chris to calm me down, obviously, this was very uncool. Even now, I am still confused as to how and why an excellent actor like Jewel could have a website which a) looks worse then a teenage girls MySpace page and b) doesn't have an RSS feed. 5 minutes and I would have a blogger blog publishing to her website looking smick, easy to update and feeds for all to burn.
Bah. I almost wished I'd never found the site in the first place.
Did I Write That Adapter?
I've been running the latest build of Touchstone on my home workstation for over 2 days continuously now, with no errors. Its good to know that it seems most of the fu**ups features people have been reporting are actually a fault with the Adapters and not the core, and while this is a bitter-sweet victory, overall, I have been very happy with this outcome.
Chris and I have always worked very hard to get this developed as quickly as possible (while still maintaining some form of "life") but recently we've really been burning the candle at both ends to get the major public build which will go to everyone on the mailing list (…so if your not on it). We are very close and it's getting hard to keep the lid on the present when we are so excited about the future plans for client-side attention management deliverables.
I really hope Chris announces *some* of these ideas soon, because I think I'm going to explode!
Also, don't forget to checkout www.areyoupayingattention.com, the Touchstone Community website (also available from the "forums" link on the top of the page),a collaboration point for developers and users of Touchstone to discuss things they love, hate and want to see in future releases of Touchstone.
The alpha requests for the next round of testing are streaming in (now a list of many hundreds) and since Chris and I have had a good night's sleep for the first time in a long while, it seems appropriate that I share with you folks what's happened over the past several days. I guess you could say we've been inspired by Leeroy Jenkins.
The last release of Touchstone was pretty much a proof of concept. A one piece application that read RSS feed items, processed them and displayed them in a news ticker. Not very exciting.
This new version will introduce key architectural pieces that will make it possible for 3rd parties to develop input and output adapters for the Attention Management Engine.
Already we have received SDK requests from early adopters who get our approach in a way that has surprised and delighted us. They understand the potential of connecting multiple data sources with multiple outputs using a caching and relevance power plant in the middle.
Sure, out-of-the-box we will have the Feed Reader and a News Ticker and a System Tray alert and maybe even a Cursor Trail alert… but the real innovation begins when our development friends get their hands on the SDK.
While I work on finishing off all this low-level under-the-covers stuff, Chris has been working on polishing the interface. This new version of Touchstone will feel like a more professional application ready for prime time.
It really is true… 20% of the work takes 80% of the time.
What's My Server Doing Anyway?
While sitting at my workstation, working away (and listening to Alex Barnett's PodCast on Attention and OPML) – I realized that my system uptime screensaver for my Windows Server 2003 x64 Edition Server was doing many things I want to know about, behind an otherwise black screensaver.
It got me thinking another PERFECT job for Touchstone.
There are RSS, ATOM feeds and other things going on (such as the current state of my Azureus downloads, sever up time and load etc) and Touchstone provides the ultimate engine to bring these together as a screensaver visualisation!
I can imagine, in the near future, LCD screens scattered around a house, streaming attention information to a person based on their current physical location (if I'm in the kitchen I might want to see feeds related to food and current events, while in my living room, my wall is showing me productivity and work related items).
With the ever decreasing price of LCDs and the power of Touchstone, the on-going effect of an attention engine could be greater then we ever imagined.
Continuing our current topic of distributed network load sharing (a.k.a Bit Torrent) I was thinking about another way to divert the bandwidth load of syndication feeds even more. It's possible through the TouchStone architecture to develop a syndication adapter which, by using a centralised tracking server, spreads the load of syndication feeds across other TouchStone clients. This method is quite handy, because it actually moves the data off the web servers completely. Obviously the idea needs fleshing out, and we're not about to integrate it ourselves (unless someone else wants in and wants to do it), but its handy idea which has a number of useful applications. Also, I was thinking about another fair easier option – shared feeds. An adapter which allows you to share the RSS feeds as your updated, so your buddies can get the feed off you instead of the actual web server. Very exciting stuff.
Alpha not far away, guys – in fact thanks to the assistance of a good mate of mine (the StormWarden) who managed to crack a C# AppBar class and get the ticker docking properly. He also added to this by creating types of docks, so you can limit the docking to "Top and Bottom", "Left and Right", or "All Sides". Naturally you can set visualizations to always "float".
Bi-Directional RSS – Something Chris and I were discussing in our deluded states last night: It occurred to me that the TouchStone outputs do not have to be restricted to the users screen. I think that the possibility of bi-directional RSS is a great idea, and it's quite exciting because the TouchStone architecture completely accommodates this idea. TouchStone Server…might be a future side project for unilaterally dissecting, prioritizing and parsing RSS feeds and output them in a number of ways, including back into RSS. Imagine a TouchStone UI which can administer 1000's of RSS feeds (and other content sources) and filter them for an entire household. RSS alone takes enormous bandwidth – so it would save time and resources (not to mention precious bandwidth) if a UI were developed to determine which household members want which content and using that same UI as an adapter to another TouchStone Core, on another machine. Bi-directional RSS makes this even more powerful again, allowing people to post and reply to content as it is streamed to them live.
According to Site Meter stats the average reader spends 96 seconds reading the average blog. Do our bosses know this?
I know this isn't really anything to get excited about, but I have to say that I'm really excited about us getting ranked 1 and 2 on Google. I think I really want to get ranked 1 for "rss gadget" but I guess we have to start somewhere.
I also had an argument with a person I work closely with (in the real world – as opposed to the 'TouchStone' world I seem to have found myself in recently) about the intrinsic value of blogs and other personalised content on the web. They were claiming that blogging is just as bad as the old days of the internet when every second person had a dodgy website made from Word saying "Under Construction" or "this is my website and i have 2 cats and a dog".
I disagree with this. Passionately! I argued the virtues of blogging and RSS. Blogging is the long tail of publishing. And on the internet, nothing is as important as the long tail. If you think something – and write it down – then the odds are other people in the world feel the same way. It's a way for us to connect to other people we otherwise never would/could.


As we celebrate Book Day and the Children's Book Council of Australia awards, it is important to reflect on the value of reading. What are the benefits?
Walking through the Junior School after lunch is an eye-opener for visitors to St John's. The Drop Everything and Read (DEAR) program has become a permanent and integral part of our reading program. All students from Kindergarten to Year 6 enjoy 20 minutes of personal or shared reading time each day. This practice of stillness and focus is a learnt skill and our Kindergarten and Year 1 learners are starting to display these behaviours as their reading skills improve.
There are those who would question the value of such a program if they have a limited view of what makes a 'reader.' Our classrooms have children who love reading and actually look forward to this relaxing and calm part of their day. The benefits of silent reading are well known, ranging from increased attention span, to improvements in vocabulary, fluency and accuracy. What is less understood is the promotion of risk taking, empathy and self-esteem. Children who read for pleasure are likely to perform significantly better in the classroom than their peers who rarely read, according to a recent report published by the University of London's Institute of Education.
• Make a bedtime story something to look forward to.
• Join a local library.
• Read books on different topics and find themes that interest your kids.
• Play word and word association games.
• Talk with your child: it builds communication skills, vocabulary and increases confidence.
This year, St John's Year 5/6 students participated for the second time in a fun and engaging literacy competition for schools called Word Mania.
Last year, 105,000 students from 1,300 schools around Australia participated in Literacy Planet Word Mania, and built more than 43 million words. This online game is an exciting way to engage students in developing their literacy skills and is based on one of the websites most popular online exercises. Students are given an interactive digital board of 15 randomly generated letter tiles, and three minutes to create as many words as they can. It's a race against the countdown that involves various literacy skills: phonemes, morphemes, spelling, word recognition, and vocabulary and word knowledge.
On Friday August 18 at 2:30 pm in the NEGS Assembly Hall, St John's Junior School handed over a cheque for $1,500 to Mr Bill Wheeler, Chairman and Founder of cancer charity Tour de Rocks.
The spirit of giving is a large part of the St John's education and integral to the school's overall Wellbeing program. Every year the Junior School participate in the annual Tour de Rocks event to make a difference to fight cancer.
This year the Tour de St John's event was a huge success. Boys and girls from Transition to Year 6 were able to ride, run or scoot laps of the road, tennis court or turning circle for sponsorship. A circuit of 0.7km per lap made it very challenging for the senior riders. After thirty minutes of frantic riding and some very red faces, all students could proudly say that they tried their very best. The donation total was impressive, with a sum of $1500 being donated to Tour de Rocks.
The remaining funds are being utilised to build a shelter for the student's bikes in the playground and to create a Maker Space an exciting STEM initiative aimed at enhancing the opportunities for students to build, explore and experiment with materials.
Thank you to everyone who supported our inaugural pie drive! Big thanks to Moxon's for supporting our school and an enormous thank you to the brilliant pie drive skills of Jodi McAlary. Look out for new resources and equipment at St John's.
St John's students and staff are very much enjoying our gymnastics sessions on Fridays and PE Dance unit. We have also continued our focus on daily fitness for all girls and boys from Kindergarten to Year 6. These sessions are conducted at 8:45 am every day in Term 3. The development of fundamental movement skills is very important in the physical development of a child.
When a child is confident and competent with these skills, they can develop sport-specific and complex movement skills that allow them to enjoy sport and physical activity. Most importantly, having a firm grasp of the fundamental movement skills and being physically literate leads a child to enjoy a long life of physical activity.
Students are asked to bring sports shoes to assist their running, jumping and stretching.
On Wednesdays and Fridays the students have a circuit program or can select to run cross-country, skip or ride their bike. This hive of activity has assisted our students to complete their lessons with focus and engagement.
K – 6 Basketball (Monday afternoons). Aussie Hoops training is considered a development program and includes skills sessions.
Teams will be determined by the number of interested students so look out for a note in your child's bag.

Good Morning! Thank you for stopping by. The sketch is up at Tuesday Morning Sketches and it's a fun one! Our sponsor this week is our very own Patti and she's offering a fun day for a prize. Head on over to the blog for details.
My card features the September Fall Kit by Hero Arts. This was such a good deal I just couldn't pass it up. Fall is my favorite time of year and I really miss the colors of season - I say that every year.
This kit came with stamps,dies, inks and embellishments. It also came with a few pieces of card stock, the orange is also featured, and I used the ribbon that bound the whole kit together.
I absolutely love the sentiment stamps - that handwritten brush stroke is beautiful.
Thank you for stopping by and we'll see you at the TMS blog.
Good Morning! Thank you for stopping by. The sketch is up at Tuesday Morning Sketches and I really love this one. I really love our sponsor, too. Our sponsor this week is Pink and Main and Michelle just released this past week the most adorable Christmas stamps and dies. I couldn't help myself, I ordered the second she posted them!
My card features hOWLidays stamps and dies and Merry Christmas Script dies.
My card features papers from the Heidi Swapp and I brought in some additional dies by Fun Stampers Journey.
And I even decorated the inside!
I do hope you join us - you'll have a lot of fun and there's a $15 shopping voucher as a prize!
Good Morning! Thank you so much for stopping by! The sketch is up at Tuesday Morning Sketches and this is a really fun one by Debbie. It's another one of those sketches that will go in your go-to folder.
Our sponsor this week is Crafty Sentiments and my card is featuring an adorable image called Fifi Cupcake. This was fun for a Fall birthday card.
My card is a Natural White base (Neenah) and the sentiment is from a chocolate brown card stock and a pretty plaid orange card stock. I used a die and sentiment from Pink & Main. This is a very clean and simple card and I think is a great card to give to anyone on your list.
Please head on over to the TMS blog and check out the DT designs - they did a phenomenal job like always! Have a great Monday.
Good morning! Thank you for stopping by. The sketch is up at Tuesday Morning Sketches and this week we're sponsored by DRS Designs Stamps. I'm excited that I got to use some of my favorite stamps by DRS Designs. My card today features Medium Daisy and Three Butterflies.
I know this isn't really meant to be a Gerbera daisy, but hey, layer two of them together and why not turn one lovely bloom into another lovely bloom. Gerbera daisies are most favorite in the daisy family. I love the colors I used - not so hot about the markers themselves though. I used Spectrum Noir markers and they are messy! I felt I had no control. But I made lemonade and the overall result I am pleased with.
I stamped the butterflies twice, colored them with my Copic markers and then fussy cut them out. My card also features paper by Colorbok.
Please be sure to check out the other team member's designs. They are sure to inspire. Now head on over to the TMS blog. I'll see you there!
Good Morning friends! Thank you so much for stopping by. I do appreciate your visit. The sketch is up at Tuesday Morning Sketches and I do really like this one. Simple elements that is perfect for any style card.
Our sponsor this week is A Day for Daisies and my card features an image called Spring Flower Hair. I hope I have that right. I still don't have my computer at my new house, so I'm sort of posting everything based on memory and hoping I get it right. I had to borrow a friends iPad and then that didn't work so well, so I'm using my son's computer, which thankfully he got set up today.
My card also features this really cool pocket card die that I got from Fun Stampers Journey. Of course after I got it they announced that it was being retired. But instead of moping about it, I finally pulled it out and actually used it. I does have two pockets, one behind the solid middle piece and one in front of it. It's perfect for a special note and a gift card.
I hope my card inspires you to join us and please be sure to visit the DT as they really deserve your love. Have a great week!
Hello! The sketch is up at Tuesday Morning Sketches and it's a great one by Debbie. Our sponsor is Di's Digis so my card features a $1 digi I purchased from her store - Sprinkles.
My card also features Sweet dies/sentiments from Pink & Main! I'm also using up some old paper, too.
Short and sweet post this time around - I need to keep working on packing. Be sure to come by and join us at TMS and visit the DT.
Good Morning TMS friends. I hope you're week is off to a great start. The sketch is up at Tuesday Morning Sketches and this one is by Patti. I love this sketch - this one, if you take it quite literally, gives you so much opportunity to use ribbons and embellishments from your stash. My card is quite literal, but I am happy with the results.
My card features Spellbinders dies. The foliage die, I used the fern leaf. I actually cute them out of my background ivory piece. Using a stencil brush and 2 shades of distress inks, I colored them softly. Then adhered the whole piece to a scrap of copy paper. I am loving the inlaid technique. I then stamped my greeting with Oatmeal Cookie (FSJ) ink and then embossed it. I added some beautiful olive green ribbon. For the focal image, I covered a piece of black card stock with Scor-Tape (sheet) and then die cut the butterfly. Then I used opal foil (ThermoWeb). I didn't even think about how sheer this foil was, but foiling black card stock with it just made it so dramatic!
Check out this butterfly! I finished it off with pewter colored pearls. I think that is the most stunning butterfly ever.
Please head on over to the TMS blog and join us! And be sure to leave some love for my amazing design team.
Good Morning! Thank you for stopping by. The newest sketch is up at Tuesday Morning Sketches and this one is by Debbie. It's fantastic. I had so much fun playing with it. Our sponsor this week is DRS Designs.
My card featuring paper piecing today. I decided I wanted to just play and piece my whole card, so I am letting my amazing Design Team show off DRS Design stamps while I indulge in other paper crafting mediums.
And is this not stinkin' cute! Well, it really is. I am using a piecing pattern Stinkin' Cute Paper Piecings. I got the design from the Silhouette Online Store, but her store features these adorable patterns that I'm sure will work on other popular electronic cutters.
The balloon and sentiment is also from a card kit that I got on the Silhouette Online store. I enlarged the balloon so that is covered 2/3 of the base. I embossed a panel with clouds embossing folder by Darice and then mounted this beyond words adorable birthday turtle over that. I love this card and will be perfect for my cousin's grandson when his birthday rolls around. Leo loves turtles!
I hope you enjoy looking at my card as much as I do. Please join us at the Tuesday Morning Sketches blog, too. Have a great day!
Hi friends! Thank you for stopping by. The sketch is up at Tuesday Morning Sketches and this one is by Patti. It's a great sketch with so much design possibility. Our challenge is sponsored by Oddball Art Co (Etsy). These are great images for the eclectic and artsy palettes. My card features Newsprint Flowers.
My card also features the Hero Arts Prayers (stamp and die) set available at Simon Says Stamp. This is a benefit stamp set where 25% of the profits is donated to Lasting Hearts - a fundraiser to help parents who have lost a child due to miscarriage.
The base is a lovely navy blue. I punched out my sentiment using the Word Window punch (SU!) and I also die cut the prayers. I then embossed this panel using the chevron dots embossing folder. I adhered the cream colored background to the base and then in-laid the sentiment (I didn't want the dots going through the words) and also in-laid the prayers die cut. It was a little tedious to put the cream inside pieces, but overall, worth the effort.
Please join us over at the TMS blog to play along. We'd love to see what you create! Have a great Monday.
Good morning! Thank you for stopping by. The sketch is up at Tuesday Morning Sketches and it's a really easy one. Simple elements that can be moved, rotated, flipped - whatever your creative heart desires.
Our sponsor this week is Bugaboo Digital Stamps. My card features Friendship Roses. Now this image I sized down pretty small. It loses a lot of detail. It's quite lovely and could be a whole card front by itself.
I wanted a victorian feel to this card and I think the colors are perfect for that! I pulled out some old paper from Basic Grey. I already had the base made from another card that I didn't like very much. So I pulled it apart and used it for this card. I also had some key and lock pieces cut from a die sitting on my table so I decided they'd work nicely, too. They didn't photograph well because they are cut from glitter cardstock and I didn't think to rotate the card a bit so that the glitter could catch the light. Overall, I think I got the vintage feel, but next time, I'll keep the image larger.
Thank you so much for stopping by. Please come join us and don't forget to visit the design team.
Good Morning! Thank you for stopping by. The sketch is up at Tuesday Morning Sketches and I think you'll have fun with this.
Our sponsor is this week is All Dressed Up and my card features their freebie butterfly image that can be found here on their blog.
I wasn't able to capture the sparkle on those butterflies - but they sure look pretty in real life. My card features papers from the Cafe Mediterranean matstack, the circle dies are from Fun Stampers Journey and embellished simply with a stapler.
Please head on over to the TMS blog to join us! We'd love to see you what you create.
The card challenge at CAS-ual Fridays said to use flowers and the color challenge at Color Throwdown said to use kraft, green and cream.
My card features the Vintage Rose (build-a-rose) stamp set by Altenew, stencil I got on Blitsy, Old Paper Distress Stain, Hello die by Pink & Main. The sentiment I cut out from Ivory Coast card stock and from kraft card stock. I then layered the two slightly off so that it created a bit of a drop shadow.
This is a really simple card and would be an easy one to mass produce. I also made my own stamp tool that is reminiscent of the MISTI tool - which I will never own (unless gifted to me). The mini one alone is $50. I could do a lot of damage with $50 then to spend it on just one tool. Watch this video, and you'll see how you can make one yourself for under $8. You can get the supplies here.
Thank you for your visit - I hope you enjoyed what I had to share today.
Good Morning! Thank you so much for stopping by! The sketch is up at Tuesday Morning Sketches, this one is inspired by Jessi and it's so much fun. So versatile as you'll see on the blog - the DT line up is FANTASTIC!! Maybe Jessi will feel well enough to post the card that inspired the sketch.
I'm sponsoring this week, I have a fun embellishment kit from Freckled Fawn to give to one lucky winner!
Purple may be my favorite color but I can't photograph it to save my life. This card looks better on my camera than it does on the computer screen. It is simple and trust me, in real life, it's adorable! I am featuring paper from my stash - once again Latte by DCWV (thanks Jenee for reminding me I have this great stack), The tag is a die I purchased on clearance at Ellen Hutson, it's by Paper Smooches. The stamp is ATC stamp Rose Garden by Fun Stampers Journey. I colored the image using Fun Stampers Journey True Color Fusion inks (Limeade Splash and Pretty Pansy) with Fusion Blender. I have a lot to learn about this stuff, but I'm not unhappy with the results. Then I just finished it off with a double loop bow with purple seam binding that I've had in my stash.
Easy note card that would be quick to mass produce, too.
Head on over to the TMS blog and join us! See you there!
Hello! Thank you for stopping by! The latest sketch is up at Tuesday Morning Sketches, brought to you by Debbie to inspire you. It certainly did me. I kept my card very simple because it's for a friend mine. He's celebrating his 25th birthday and I find keeping masculine cards simple works the best for me.
Our sponsor this week is Di's Digis and she's offering a $12 voucher for the prize.
My card features a wonderful stamp set from MFT stamps that they retired years ago. It's called Flower Silhouette and it came with a matching die. I did extend the stem by cutting the flower out twice, removing the bloom and just using the stem.
Last week, Jenee made a card using paper from the Latte stack by DCWV and it reminded me that I have a lot of the left and I haven't used it in awhile. The color palette is perfect for a guy card.
The border is also from MFT stamps and I believe retired. The labels I have no idea who they're by. They came with the magnetic platform I bought years ago and never used. I eventually gave that to my sister.
I do hope to see you over at Tuesday Morning Sketches. Have a great week! Happy Easter.
Good Morning! How are you? I'm glad you stopped by. My week seemed to be a continuation of last week - no weekend. It was busy to say the least. MA dance competition was on Saturday. We were at that school by 6:30 Saturday morning and didn't leave until 10:00 that night. Hollyanne performed her solo and did very well. I couldn't be more proud of my daughter!
The sketch is up at Tuesday Morning Sketches and it's a fun one. At least I think so! I'm not sure what I had in mind when I created it - so it was a little challenge for me, but in the end, I'm pretty happy with my card. This week's sponsor is Craftin' Desert Divas. I love their images so much, I just had to purchase one to play with.
My card features Loveliest Little Banner Bear. I should have printed this digi a little bigger, but like I said, overall I'm still happy with it. I am using papers from the paper stack I'm using for my personal planner.
The sentiment is an svg that I got on the Silhouette online store. I cut it 5 times and glued them together for dimension. The white letters sort of got lost so I colored the sentiment with 3 shades of Copics in an ombray effect, then covered the letters with Crystal Effects. I like how this turned out. So shiny!
Please head on over to TMS and join us... say hello to our two DT members, too. See you there!

Q: Kotlin coroutines: concurrent execution throttling Imagine we are reading messages from a message queue and on receive pushing them for processing into a threadpool. There are limited number of threads, so if all the threads are busy, we'll have natural backpressure.
How this can be solved in Kotlin coroutine world? If we'll create a coroutine for each incoming message, we can very fast end up with Out of memory errors (e.g if each task requires to load some data from DB) and other issues.
Are there any mechanisms or patterns to solve this problem?

A: One way to solve the issue, is to create a Channel and send your data onto it. Other threads can put a consumeEach on the channel to receive data from it. The channel's capacity can be tweaked to your threading needs.
Fan-out and Fan-in examples in the coroutines docs can be helpful too.

These technical XC boots have been designed for strength and optimum protection with a new impact responsive smart layer between the leg and the outer shell. This Shoc smart layer is composed of impact responsive material containing free form molecules that remain supple & flexible when not under pressure. These molecules articulate and lock together when impacted forming a hard protective barrier. The shear force is dissipated and thus shields the horses leg. Shoc molecules then return to a flexible state thereafter.
The outer MicroFlex cage mesh offers lightweight protection with 360° air ventilation - permitting exchange of air over its entire surface area whilst galloping, reducing tendon temperature.
Offering cutting edge shock absorption, tendon support & flexible PU strike guards. These new StealthAir Shoc's have established a new standard in cross-country protection.

The City has created the Wellness Accountability Program, which is an employee incentive program designed to help our employee stakeholders adopt and maintain healthy behaviors as a way of life. It aims to increase stakeholders' awareness of their own health status and it provides education and resources to help them stay healthy, get healthy, or live better with an existing illness.
The Wellness Accountability Program does not impose a one-size-fits-all approach. It allows employees to select the programs and activities that are best suited for their needs, while earning medical premium contribution incentives along the way. By linking employee health insurance contributions to wellness program participation, we are integrating our employee wellness efforts into our health care cost containment efforts.
The Human Resources department has resources to assist employees in understanding the Wellness Accountability Program.

Q: Overhead of DLL I have a quite basic question.

*

*When a library is used only by a single process. Should I keep it as a static library?

*If I use the library as a DLL, but only a single process uses it. **What will be the overhead?*

A: There are two overheads to a DLL. First as the DLL is loaded into memory the internal addresses must be fixed for the actual address that the DLL is loaded at, versus the addresses assumed by the linker. This can be minimized by re-basing the DLLs. The second overhead is when the program and DLL are loaded, as the program calls into the DLL have the addresses of the functions filled in. These overheads are generally negligible except for very large programs and DLLs.
If this is a real concern you can use delay-loaded DLLs which only get loaded as they are called. If the DLL is never used, for example it implements a very uncommon function, then it never gets loaded at all. The downside is that there's a short delay the first time the DLL is called.
I like to use statically linked libraries, not to decrease the overhead but to minimize the hassle of having to keep the DLL with the program.

A: Imported functions have no more overhead than virtual functions.

A: There is almost no overhead to having a separate DLL. Basically, the first call to a function exported from a DLL will run a tiny stub that fixes up the function addresses so that subsequent calls are performed via a single jump through a jump table. The way CPUs work, this extra indirection is practically free.
The main "overhead" is actually an opportunity cost, not an "overhead" per-se. That is, modern compilers can do something called "whole program optimization" in which the entire module (.exe or .dll) is compiled and optimized at once, at link time. This means the compiler can do things like adjust calling conventions, inline functions and so on across all .cpp files in the whole program, rather than just within a single .cpp file.
This can result in fairly nice performance boost, for certain kinds of applications. But of course, whole program optimization cannot happen across DLL boundaries.

Stench of death lingers on Philippine island
Frustration at rescue efforts mounts along with body bags in city of Tacloban, ravaged by Typhoon Haiyan.
Wayne Hay
Tacloban, Philippines – There's no easing into this situation when you arrive at what's left of Tacloban Airport. You're immediately faced with evidence of the destructive power of the storm.
The terminal building is standing, but only just. The control tower has no windows, but inside the staff manage to carefully manoeuvre the many military and civilian planes still landing and taking off.
Just off to the side of the carpark, you are hit with the first smell of death. A rotting corpse lies unclaimed, yet already placed inside a body bag.
There are scenes of utter desperation each day at the airport as thousands of people come to try to catch a plane out, eager to escape the misery of what Typhoon Haiyan inflicted upon them.
But there are only so many places available on the Philippine and US military flights and when the last one leaves for the day, those who've missed out face another night sleeping in the remains of the terminal building, which has huge holes in the roof. Among them children, pregnant women, the injured, sick, and elderly.
When the heavily-guarded gates to the tarmac close for the last time at night, some vent their frustration at the soldiers, screaming at the guards to give them one last chance, some holding up babies to try to elicit some sympathy.
Inside the airport grounds, there is media and military camped in tents, surrounded by twisted metal, machinery and slabs of concrete that were all shunted around by the surge of water that came ashore on Friday.
Decaying bodies
The airport is something of a safe area, guarded by police and soldiers, as the security situation on the streets of the city deteriorates.
It's been set up as a makeshift command centre, but no one seems to be in command.
Aside from the important job of getting people out, there doesn't appear to be a lot of emphasis on relief work for those who choose to stay.
There are plenty of flights delivering aid to the airport, but not much of it seems to be going to the people who need it. Coordination appears to be severely lacking.
Venturing outside the airport, it's not difficult to see why so many people are trying to escape.
The entire area is in disarray.
There are bodies on the streets, some left uncovered, decaying in the hot sun and tropical downpours. Others have been draped with material or roofing iron, and some have even been given the dignity of having their names written on whatever they've been covered with, to help with the identification process.
The collection of bodies has been painstakingly slow.
Mass graves
Those which have been collected and identified are being taken to mass graves.
After a few days, the survivors seem to have become accustomed to seeing the bloated, disfigured corpses lying in their streets, as children walk nonchalantly past. They have no choice.
But the smell is something they will never get used to.
There is now a stench that is hanging over large parts of this area. As I write this, sitting outside my tent beside the airport tarmac, the wind has changed direction and the smell of the body in the carpark is filling the air.
The streets and alleys of Tacloban city and surrounding areas are piled high with debris. Large trucks and cars were tossed about by the waves which caught everyone by surprise.
Wooden houses have been completely decimated and have been reduced to piles of splintered timber. More substantial structures fared little better.
Lack of aid
Some of the walls may be standing, but more often than not, roofs were torn off by the wind that gusted in excess of 300 kilometres an hour.
Apart from local people picking through debris, there's no one searching for the missing who are presumably still buried or were swept out to sea. There is very little clearing of rubble going on and crucially, very little distribution of food and water.
In our travels around the area, we've seen a few government health workers doing basic medical treatments, two military trucks handing out water and no non-governmental organisations.
There are some soldiers and police doing security work, but clearly not enough as looting is still a big problem and people are becoming increasingly scared about intruders coming into their homes at night-time.
But what they are most frustrated about is the lack of aid from the outside.
They feel as if they've been forgotten about and I get the sense that the humanitarian situation is about to deteriorate even further.

My wife's company, Novartis, does an amazing job every year with Bring Your Child to Work Day, they put a lot of resources and manpower into creating an informative and fun day for the kids. This year the focus was on how products are imagined, marketed, and brought to a store near you. People from all different parts of the company spoke to the children and explained what their department did and why it was important to the process. After each "talk" the kids performed different tasks with the goal of producing a cookie that they could sell at the end of the day.
All of the proceeds from the cookie sales are being donated to our JDRF chapter so the last talk of the day was from me and Arden. We explained the difference between type I and type 2 diabetes, gave an overview of the JDRF and had a hands-on look at Arden's OmniPod insulin pump and her DexCom CGM. Insulet was kind enough to send me some non working or dummy OmniPods so that the kids could try them on if they wanted to.
The day was a wonderful success raising $1,100 for the JDRF, an amount that will be matched by Novartis 100% for a grand total of $2,200!
One of the best parts of the day was watching the kids work so hard on their cookie ideas, boxes and then seeing the hustle they all showed selling the cookies. It was while they were selling that I began to really notice all of the OmniPods on their arms and I have to admit that it was a very warming experience to see the children so enthusiastic and excepting of it. If I had enough pods I think every kid in the room would have been wearing one.
Arden and her team sold chocolate chip cookies and their marketing hook was that they had a celebrity endorsement, if you look closely at the boxes you'll see, "Arden's Favorite Cookies" on the sides.
Big thanks to Novartis, my lovely wife Kelly for suggesting that the JDRF would be a great place to send the funds collected and Insulet for sending the pods for the kids to wear.
I explained to the children that advocacy and awareness is what people with type I need the most from them and that I hoped they would tell someone about the good work that they did. I was very proud of all of them for the attention, effort and concern that they displayed throughout the day... it was a great experiance for everyone!

Even when organised neatly into projects, it can sometimes be hard to remember exactly where a particular piece of code or comment is. To help with this, the IDE has a search function that can look through all of your code as well as file and project names.
Searches are done using the search page, which can be launched from the shortcuts menu.
Initially, the search page will just have some search controls. You can start a search using the button, or by pressing enter once you've typed a query.
Searches will look for the entire phrase, appearing exactly as typed, anywhere in the name of a project, a file or in the content of a file. Results will appear incrementally as they are found, and will be categorised by where they were found.

Q: Should I enable the Snow Leopard Firewall? Snow Leopard has in its Security Panel a Firewall option, which is off by default. That means (according to the help message there) that all incoming connections to the computer are allowed.
Can/should I turn it on? What kind of applications would that break?
Conversely, am I at risk at an Internet cafe when I do not turn the firewall on (assuming that all sharing features are disabled either way)?
Also, what about outgoing connections, can they be filtered, too?

A: I'd suggest turning it on regardless of what it "breaks". You can tell if one of your apps is being blocked and quickly make an exception for it easily. The firewall can filter incoming and outgoing connections, depending on how you want it configured. For more advanced configuration, grab a copy of Waterroof (a frontend for ipfw). Better safe than sorry.

A: I just want to re-emphasise what John T commented on - it is off by default because there are no shared services by default. Therefore if you have changed the default settings and have services with ports open, then I would always turn the firewall on. Note that there is more than one firewall, the one accessible through system prefs is an application-centric one, but there is an additional ipfw based one which, as John T mentions, is configurable using Waterroof, or they have a simpler NoobProof GUI too (you can hack at it using the terminal if so inclined).
I would also recommend an outgoing connection firewall like Little Snitch, as the Application firewall and ipfw are traditionally incoming-only firewalls. Not sure if you can hack ipfw to do reliable outbound checking...

Holiday bonus: No charge to visit Davenport art center through January 6th
An eastern Iowa art museum is offering free admission for the next week as a holiday treat for its visitors.
Tim Schiffer, executive director of the Figge Art Museum in Davenport, says compared to last year, three times more people have visited the museum since a special exhibit on French Moderns opened in October.
"We had all the high schools from Iowa City, the art and French students, come, so we've had over 1,700 people come for our docent tours from schools, colleges and lots of community groups like PEO chapters and people with their antique collecting groups have come," Schiffer says. "It's just been really fun."
The exhibit called "French Moderns: Monet to Matisse, 1850 to 1950" features 60 works of art that are part of a traveling exhibit from the Brooklyn Museum in New York.
He says some venues charge an extra fee, up to $10 above the regular admission price, just to see the special exhibit, but that wasn't the case in Davenport.
"The people who funded it, who created the endowment to fund the show and our sponsors, the idea was to make it accessible," Schiffer says. "We've had our regular Free Thursdays and Free Senior Days and Family Days. This is the kicker at the end, the dessert, to make it free to everyone."
The free admission runs through January 6th, which is also the final day for the exhibit. Schiffer predicts an upcoming exhibit featuring Tiffany glass will also be very popular for the Davenport institution.
