YONEKAWA RYU (KUMIKO).
Manuscript on paper, written throughout in one fine hand, not titled but concerned throughout with...
Two illus. in the text & several genji mon linear patterns. 83 folding leaves plus a few blanks. Oblong 8vo (135 x 300 mm.), orig. silk-brocade covered wrappers, new stitching. [Japan: mid-Edo].
This fine manuscript contains descriptions of an unusually large number of kumiko incense games, grouped in novel ways, of the Yonekawa school of incense, active throughout the Edo period. The Yonekawa ryu school was a branch of the Shino ryu school. Many royal and daimyo (feudal lord) families supported the Yonekawa ryu, including Empress Consort Masako (1607-78), second wife of the cultured Emperor Go-Mizunoo.
The anonymous author provides detailed instructions on how to create the proper ambience for the incense ceremony. The host must provide an environment free of other scents. Therefore, only a certain kind of neutral candle wax is used, a careful choice is made of confectionaries that would not give off conflicting odors, no alcohol is served, etc. More

A most interesting manuscript, which appears to be unpublished. The Shino school of incense ceremony was established in the Muromachi period and still exists today. The founder of the school, Shino Soshin (1443-1537), is considered the originator of kodo ("the way of the incense"), a ritual appreciation of fragrances practiced in small groups and following specific performance schemes. As part of kodo, games of incense appreciation (kumiko)... More

[Japan]: Author's Prefaces dated 1699 & 1709; Postfaces by Nobutomo Ban dated 1813 & 1841.
A most interesting and attractively illustrated manuscript. In the late 17th century, the brother of Kotaku Hosoi, Chimei (d. ca. 1697), a samurai in service to the Koriyama fiefdom, visited the Nara area and was saddened by the disrepair of the many mausoleums, tombs, and tumuli of former emperors.

Nijuasobi. Yochienho [or] Yochienho nijuasobi [Kindergarten Manual: Twenty Different Types of Toys].
Twenty fine woodcut illus. in the text. .5 (title-page, printed on red paper & pasted onto inside of front wrapper), 18 folding leaves. 8vo, orig. blue semi-stiff boards, orig. block-printed title label on upper cover, new stitching. Tokyo: Aoyama, 1879.
First edition of the book that first introduced the educational theories of Friedrich Wilhelm August Froebel (1782-1852), educational reformer, into Japan. They remain today an important part of the educational policies for young children. Froebel was the founder of the concept of "kindergarten," a standardized institution that rapidly spread throughout Europe, North America, Korea, and Japan.
Froebel's educational reforms were introduced into Japan by a disciple, Clara Zitelmann, who moved to Japan in 1876 and became head teacher of the kindergarten at the Tokyo Women's Normal School (today's Ochanomizu University). This was the first public kindergarten established by the government. As she spoke no Japanese, she communicated through the school's principal, Shinzo Seki (1843-80), who thoroughly embraced Froebel's concepts. Seki had lived in England for some years, and the two shared their common language of English. More

Ten cards (181 x 50 mm.), all preserved in the orig. folded color-printed wrapper, entitled on upper panel Furyu e tanzaku [Elegantly Illustrated Tanzaku Cards]. [Japan: Meiji Era].
Ten erotic cards, issued together, each in the tanzaku ban format, and accompanied by their original color-printed wrapper. Tanzaku cards were popular in the Meiji era (1868-1912); see Rosina Buckland's "Erotic Art of the Meiji Era (1868-1912)" in Timothy Clark et al., eds., Shunga. Sex and Pleasure in Japanese Art (British Museum: 2013), pp. 454-55.

EROTIC SCROLL.
Picture scroll on paper, with ten erotic paintings, with ample use of metallic pigments &...
Scroll (300 x 4150 mm.), with pale green silk borders & endpapers, wooden core roller. [Japan]: n.d. but probably early Edo.
This is a fine example of an erotic scroll, anonymously painted as usual but with great skill. The scroll contains ten scenes of men (sometimes samurai) and women engaged in various sexual activities. Two of the scenes are threesomes, one of which shows a young samurai copulating with two older women. The hairstyles of both the women and men are typical of the pleasure courts of the early Edo period.
Erotic paintings in Japan have a long tradition, established well before the Edo period. "Many aspects regarding the production of early paintings with sexual content — when, where and by whom they were made, how they were appreciated — are still obscure…There was apparently a radical change in the form of erotic handscrolls from around 1600 onwards when paintings with a sequence of twelve [our example has ten] erotic scenes became common…Each scene in handscrolls of this type does not normally show any clear relationship with the adjacent scenes, nor is there usually any development, other than presenting a variety of couplings and sexual techniques. Each group of copulating figures exists within its own enclosed space, set against a plain or simply decorated background, as if functioning as an example of a possible sexual position… More

First edition of this fascinating shunga book; there is no copy in WorldCat. The artist of this work, using the pen name "Ikkyokusai maromaru," is Kunimaro Utagawa (active 1850-75), who was a pupil of Kunisada Utagawa.
The story is a most interesting parody of the life of Asahina Saburo Yoshihide, the legendary Japanese warrior of the early 13th century. Asahina had superhuman strength, which he... More

First edition of this rare shunga book; it is an example of kaidaibon (book with new title). It is based on the Ehon kontan makura [Illustrated Pillow Book from the Heart] of 1783, which, in turn, is a "parody of the ancient Chinese legend of The Dream at Handan (J.

Several dozen manuscripts in various formats, incl. long folded sheets, stitched pamphlets, sewn volumes, and letters. Japan: ca. 1853-63.
A substantial group of documents revealing internal, high-level debates and discussions in response to Commodore Perry's landings and later controversies that arose as Western powers established a foothold in Japan. This is an exceptional collection, filled with top-secret information on government intrigues as the Japanese state responded to aggressive foreign expansion and dissenting groups within the government urging top-to-bottom reforms.
The manuscripts touch upon pivotal events in Japan's history: More
EARLY FOREIGN ENCOUNTERS.
A group of drawings & Japanese internal government communiqués on foreign incursions.
Three large folded sheets & two lengthy letters with their original manuscript envelopes. Japan: ca. 1822-31.
An exceptional collection of documents on two consequential early Western visits to Japan in the 1820s: the first landing of the Saracen at Uraga and the Takarajima incident. During this period, accounts of these incursions were kept top-secret as matters of Japanese national security. Pre-Commodore Perry materials, such as ours, are extremely scarce. This collection also contains well-rendered drawings of foreigners and their ships. The letters sent by government officials speak to the widespread anxiety throughout the country in the face of much more frequent... More

Black ink & washes of different colors. Japan: late Edo.
A finely executed panoramic map, in scroll format, of the shores of the western portion of Boso Peninsula and the Chiba region's coastline, which leads into Tokyo Bay. We believe this map was created as part of Japan's preparations against foreign invaders. In the 1830s and 40s, on several occasions, nations like Russia, Britain, and the United States tried to reconnoiter this area and establish diplomatic relations with the Japanese, only to be forcefully turned away. The coastline depicted in this map was vital to Edo's security because local officials could... More

Elon Musk wants to change how he funds his Twitter takeover so it's less risky and he's directly responsible for less of it
0 Comment May 13, 2022 Uncategorized
Elon Musk.
Andrew Kelly/Reuters
Elon Musk is attempting to get preferred equity financing for his Twitter takeover, Bloomberg reported Thursday.
The Tesla chief has secured investors to take up much of his margin loan already, and he's looking to get more backing.
Prior to the refinancing, the Twitter deal hinged on the stability of Tesla's stock, which Musk had staked as collateral.
Elon Musk is attempting to restructure how he finances his $44 billion Twitter takeover to eliminate the need for a margin loan backed by some of his Tesla stock, Bloomberg reported Thursday.
According to the report, Musk's advisors, led by Morgan Stanley, are trying to get investors to put up $6 billion in preferred equity financing. This would help reduce Musk's own exposure to the deal, and reduce the risk in the event that Tesla's stock — his collateral for the margin loan — drops.
Initially, Musk had moved to prepare a $12.5 billion margin loan for his takeover bid, but equity commitments from investors including Larry Ellison and Sequoia Capital helped slash that number in half to $6.25 billion.
Now, sources tell Bloomberg that the Tesla chief has secured commitments for another $1 billion in equity and could still pull in more funding.
If he can draw enough new money to back his bid, Musk may be able to eliminate the margin loan altogether.
Investors and observers had grown worried that a potential decline in Tesla stock would force Musk to shelve the Twitter bid if he got hit with a margin call and was forced to put up more of his own cash. Musk had pledged some of his shares of the electric car company to secure billions of dollars in loans from various banks to get the deal done, as well as $20 billion of his own money.
Musk would have had to pull more money from his own coffers if Tesla's stock fell below $740, according to Bloomberg calculations. The more the stock fell, the more of his own money Musk would have to put up.
Musk tweeted early Friday that his bid for the social media company was "on hold", before later reiterating that he's still committed to the acquisition.
With shares of Twitter plunging as much as 25% Friday, Wedbush's Dan Ives called it a "circus show."
Ives said it's possible the deal gets renegotiated at a lower price, or he could possibly decide to pay the $1 billion break up fee and simply walk away.

Instrumental Music → Instrumental Recordings → Improbable Encounters
Improbable Encounters
Improbable Encounters is a 2-disc collection of varied works by composer Joseph Klein, spanning a period of nearly 30 years and covering genres as diverse as solo, orchestral, intermedia, theater, text-based, and electroacoustic works. Klein's music reflects an ongoing interest in processes drawn from such sources as fractal geometry, chaos, and systems theory, often inspired by natural phenomena. His works frequently incorporate theatrical elements, whether as a component of the extra-musical references or as an organic outgrowth of the musical narrative itself. Literature is another important influence on Klein's work, with recent compositions based on the writings of Franz Kafka, Elias Canetti, Alice Fulton, W.S. Merwin, Milan Kundera, and John Ashbery, among others. Klein is on the faculty of the University of North Texas, where he has served as chair of the Composition Division since 1999.
Among the solo works included on Disc 1 (CD) of Improbable Encounters is a collection of nine pieces based on surreal character studies by the Bulgarian-born writer Elias Canetti (1905-1994), composed for a wide variety of (often unusual) instruments. Featured performers include three of Klein's faculty colleagues at UNT (Elizabeth McNutt, piccolo; Christopher Deane, percussion; Felix Olschofka, violin), as well as other distinguished performers from around the world: German-based flutist Helen Bledsoe (on works for bass flute and ocarina); French glass harmonica specialist Thomas Bloch; Dutch bass saxophonist Andreas van Zoelen; Chinese-based guitarist Joseph Mirandilla; and James Rodgers, contrabassoonist with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra. Closing the CD is a concerto for soprano saxophone and chamber orchestra, Pathways: Interior Shadows, featuring UNT saxophonist Eric Nestler and the Nova Ensemble, conducted by the composer.
Disc 2 (DVD) features five works that include theatrical, intermedia, and spatialized sonic elements utilizing 5.1 surround sound. Goblin Market, composed with the assistance of a grant from the NEA for the intrepid trombonist William Bootz, is a tour de force that requires the performer to negotiate the entire range of the tenor and alto trombones (including notes that don't even technically exist on those instruments), as well as "prepared euphonium"—an instrument modified with rubber tubes and noise-making devices, and festooned in flashing Christmas tree lights. Among the theatrical demands of the work, Bootz plays his instruments scurrying around the stage, squatting in a corner, and even lying on the floor. Accompanying Bootz is the equally-game Douglas Reed, performing exclusively inside a piano with a collection of paraphernalia, including balloons, chains, plectra, bows, mallets, and a variety of music boxes.
Written for the Los Angeles-based guitar duo of Matthew Elgart and Peter Yates, IcarUS At thE caBARet VolLtairE may be characterized as a self-reflexive caricature of the inherently theatrical nature of musical performance itself. The combination of exaggerated physical gestures, extended performance techniques, and absurd spoken passages, contrasted with the guitarists' deadpan delivery, result in a work of unabashed drollery. The Elgart-Yates Duo has performed the work to acclaim over fifty times throughout the United States and Europe since its premiere in 1985, including the 1988 Gaudeamus MusicWeek in Amsterdam, where the work received an Honorable Mention for the Gaudeamus Prize competition.
Two text-based works with multi-channel computer music, Three Poems from Felt and Cornell Set, feature the work of distinguished American poet Alice Fulton and four of her former students from the Creative Writing Program at Cornell University. Rounding out the DVD is Leviathan, based on a poem by W.S. Merwin and featuring vocalist Wes Moore and bass trombonist Jeremiah Stones. The intermedia components of this work include multi-channel computer music, live processing of the voice and trombone, video projections, and theatrical lighting.

Susana Garabatos Rodríguez, (Vigo, Pontevedra, 8 de marzo de 1979), es una ex-nadadora gallega. Compitió en los Juegos Olímpicos de 1996 en Atlanta.

Trayectoria
Comenzó a nadar en su colegio, el Rosalía de Castro, hasta que se fijó en ella el entrenador del Real Club Náutico de Vigo. Como miembro de este club, en el que nadaron también sus tres hermanos, se proclamó en 1991 subcampeona de España júnior en los 100 metros libres y al año siguiente ganó un oro en el Meeting de Luxemburgo, en su primera participación internacional con la selección española. En 1993 marchó a Málaga, para prepararse en un centro de alto rendimiento. En 1995 quedó quinta en el Campeonato de Europa, en la prueba de 4x100 metros libres.

En 1996, con 17 años, se convirtió en la primera nadadora gallega femenina en participar en unos Juegos Olímpicos. Lo hizo en la prueba de 4x100 estilo libre, junto a Blanca Cerón, Fátima Madrid y Claudia Franco, finalizando en la 14ª posición. Tras los Juegos tuvo unos años de menos rendimiento, aunque volvió a competir internacionalmente, y en 2004 dejó la competición.

As you may know I'm a new comer at the Chit Chat Café and I've been in Japan for just a year now. So here is my first message and my first question… I hope you can give me a hand!
New Year's Eve is over and so is the Sapporo's snow festival and Otaru's candlelight festival. On the top of that, you, lucky guys, got plenty of chocolates and cookies for Valentine's day… So I'm asking you : what's next in Sapporo?
Here is what I've heard: next month will start with the Hinamatsuri or Girl's Day. Walking around town lately, I've noticed that few shops are already displaying the traditional set of dolls on a red carpet! To be honest, I don't really know about this special day but the name… so I hope you can put me in the picture at our next chatting session!
Also, I've heard that following Valentines day will be a so called "White day" where us, lucky girls, will be receiving our share of chocolates! Such a great idea indeed! Actually, in France, as in Ireland and New Zealand, on Valentine's day couples exchange presents. Commonly, guys buy ladies flowers and ladies buy guys chocolates. Then, when evening comes, restaurants get crowed as lots of couples choose to have a romantic dinner.
Anyway, it seems that in Japan, March is the month of ladies! I'm, therefore, looking forward to it!
However, when CCC asked me to write something for this blog, as part of my brainstorming process, I began to look for inspiration among the minutiae of my daily life. The other day it finally came to me as I was examining the cardboard packaging for the electric heater I bought recently: 外来語, specifically katakana words.
As I progress in my Japanese language studies, two things become apparent: first, that things keep getting harder, not easier; second, the exception to the former being borrowed words in katakana--something that has always been rather easy, and I find the more Japanese I learn, the easier katakana becomes for me to understand.
That isn't true for all students of Japanese, as many of my English-speaking friends loathe katakana, and tend to not do well when encountering it, be it in a quiz or in everyday life. Even native-English speakers seem to have difficulty. But by far, it's the only thing I seem to be good at as a student.
Admittedly, the first year or so of my studies weren't easy in general, but katakana was always intriguing: the often stark physical shapes of the characters; its parallel existence with the other phonetic alphabet, hiragana; and merely how the Japanese use it to approximate the pronunciation of foreign words and languages…I still giggle sometimes when I hear a common English word pronounced using katakana syllables, it often sounds "cute" to me, not unlike hearing young children as they try to mimic something their parents say or that they hear on television.
So what word was it that prompted my inspiration? ストーブ. At least in America, a stove is a large kitchen appliance we use for cooking. Here in Japan, that machine's equivalence seems to be split between two smaller devices: オーブン and ガスレンジ. I suppose in generations preceding my grandparents, when wood-burning stoves were a common way to heat a domicile, the definition fits neatly for both languages, but in modern times, the connotation for American English is completely different. These differences are especially interesting for me.
Likewise, contracted words are fascinating. These are usually what frustrate us foreigners the most when learning Japanese, at least in regard to learning and using katakana vocabulary. Examples include: リモコン、マスコミ、ファミレス、パトカー、カーナビ、etc. and are abbreviations for remote control, mass communications, family restaurant, patrol car (police), and car navigation. With no context or understanding of the original words being combined, it is nearly impossible for us to guess the meaning. Often, even with a bit of context, it can be difficult, though as I mentioned earlier, the more I study, the better at guessing I become.
I could list countless more examples, but this blog entry is probably already a bit long. What do you think, is 外来語 difficult for Japanese as well? As you study English and improve your vocabulary, how do the meanings of borrowed words compare for you; is it easy to grasp the similarities, or are the differences confusing?
I'd love to talk with you about it sometime, so stop by the cafe and let's chat!
If you have never been to France, I really recommend you to visit this country.
There are so many things to do and see there.
At first, I suggest you to spend a few days in Paris.
There are a lot of museums, nice architectures and parks.
Also the Castles along the Loire river are very beautiful.
The second place that I recommend is Bordeaux which is my hometown.
Not only Bordeaux is famous for its delicious wines but also for its traditional architectures. Bordeaux has recently been renewed.
You can visit downtown by a futuristic electric train or just walk along the Garonne river's sides walk streets.
Each area has its own traditional food. For example The "Bretagne" is famous for crepes whereas "Arcachon" is famous for Oysters.
If you like going to the beach, the south-west and south coast are very good places.
The "Dune du Pyla", are the Highest Dune of Europe. The view is magnificent and the sand very thin.
Marseille or Nice are beautiful cities located near the Mediterranean sea.
There are beautiful, relaxing and warm places.
Hello, Chit Chatters! How are you?
It has been very cold lately. The best season for the Snow Festival and the season of flu also. So be sure to wear something warm!
Recently, I talked with some of you about Russian and Japanese superstitions. I mentioned little Russian creature or spirit called "Domovoi" who used to protect house. Sorry I could not provide you more information, cause I did not know where he came from and so on. But I did a little research and want to share my new knowledge with all of you.
Domovoi was first mentioned as a house spirit in Slavic folklore, so he has quite a long history. Traditionally, every house is said to have the domovoi. He does not do any harm unless he is not satisfied by an owner's keep of household and the way of speaking (Domovoi does not like profane language).
He is usually described as fat, small and bearded man. According to some stories my grandma told me, Domovoi sometimes could take on the appearance of current owner of the house. There are creepy stories of spectators seeing the owner of the house out in the yard while in fact the real owner was asleep in bed. Though all the stories sound scary, as I mentioned above, Domovoi is not harmful for house owners who show him their respect.
My grandma always leaves sugar and candies on the table overnight to please Domovoi, because she believes that he can be noisy during the night if he is hungry. She also knows how to attract Domovoi or let him go with you in the cause you are planning to move. You have to go outside of house wearing your best clothing and say special words (do not remember words exactly).
Though Domovoi is a part of Russian culture, nowadays, people do not believe in it as past generations used to. Everyone knows who Domovoi is, but majority takes it for granted that Domovoi is just a part of a heavy imagination.
Do you have your house spirits in Japan also? Please, tell me if you do when we will meet the next time in CCC!
Enjoy Snow Festival and 雪あかり!


I want to become a doctor because I want to change people's lives and make discoveries in medicine. As a FUTURE Student, I was able to further develop and learn new skills that are relevant to the practice of medicine via hands-on research in the King Lab. I made connections with professors and other students who have the same career goal as me. I am thankful for the opportunities this program has opened up for me in the future.
During the summer of 2017, I had the opportunity to work with Dr. Jennifer King (https://www.ursinus.edu/live/profiles/670-jennifer-king) and my mentor Sarah Dolan '18. Our lab is studying HAND, or HIV Associated Neurocognitive Disorders. Cell processes are typically maintained by phagocytic activity and the cytoskeleton. If the protein levels are altered, then it would lead to alterations in the phagocytic activity. During the summer, we cultured, revived, maintained, and isolated protein from primary and secondary microglial cells. We then studied the protein levels via Western Blot analysis. The proteins of interest were LIMK-1, CFL-1, and GAPDH.
We have the opportunity to present our research at the 47th Society for Neuroscience Annual Conference on November 13th in Washington, D.C. This conference advances the understanding of the nervous system by bringing scientists together from various backgrounds with the intention of developing treatments or even a cure for diseases. For more information about this conference, go to https://www.sfn.org/annual-meeting/neuroscience-2017.

Last month, Kenneth Yeager was murdered by the Evans po-lice, after he allegedly pointed a gun out of his car window, during a "standoff" outside of the Double Clutch Cafe. Four pigs fired a barrage at Yeager, hitting him three times. The fatal bullet struck Yeager in the face/head, as the confrontation came to an end around 6 a.m.
Today, those murderin' pigs were (unsurprisingly) cleared of any wrongdoing and will face no punishment whatsoever. When they murdered Yeager, the po-lice were apparently under the impression that "their lives were in danger." If the pigs felt fear for their lives, imagine how Mr. Yeager must have felt, given that there were pigs from at least seven departments, including Weld County Sheriffs and a SWAT team. What strikes me as surprising, however, is that Yeager was shot in the head. Now, I don't know bout yall, but I can't imagine having the time to place such a precise shot in the morning twilight, if I felt like my life was actually threatened. I suppose shooting Yeager in the head may have been unintentional but it seems much more likely that the trained murderers had Yeager in their sights for hours and finally got the chance to exercise their itchy trigger fingers. Deadly force is the norm, not the exception.
Evans is a town bordering Greeley to the South. The other day the SWAT team killed Kenneth Yeager, a 60 year old Veteran, who suffered from PTSD ever since his discharge. Mr. Yeager got into an altercation with staff in a truck stop and was told to leave. The Greeley Tribune reports that, "He may have fired shots at the cafe, and police were called again. SWAT teams officers tried to talk Yeager out of his car in the parking lot for more than two hours. Then, he pointed his gun at the police, and he was shot and killed." Firstly, I don't believe anything the police say so I discount anything related to their claims. Secondly, why the hell could this not have been handled in a way that did not result in a man being killed. I understand that this fella may have had some crazy in him, however that should not be a death warrant. Mr. Yeager survived Vietnam, but unfortunately perished by the hands of Colorado Police.

Q: What do I need to do to pass value as attribute from angular template to directive? I have a directive that looks like this:
<g-map-locations center={{myLocation}} zoom="4" id="map" class="map"></g-map-locations>

The zoom-value is used in angular to set the zoom for a google map:
attrs.zoom = zoom
setMapOptions: function(center, zoom){
    var mapOptions = {
    zoom: zoom,
    center: center
    }
    return mapOptions;
},

google maps complain that setZoom: is not a number, though it works i do
zoom = 4

Can I tell angular to pass the value as a number or convert it in the directive somehow?

A: HTML attributes are passed in as strings, save for when they are passed in as scoped objects and parsed. The easiest solution, in my view, would be to parse the the number as integer:
setMapOptions: function(center, zoom){
    var mapOptions = {
        zoom: parseInt(zoom, 10),
        center: center
    }
    return mapOptions;
}

Pest fear for orchardists over imports
Brad ThompsonThe West Australian
Tue, 30 July 2013 8:04AM
Stone-fruit growers have warned of a major biosecurity threat as peaches from the US go on sale in WA for the first time.
The growers said the peaches they expect in the WA market from today and planned imports of nectarines had the potential to introduce a highly destructive fruit fly.
The Federal Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry opened the door on July 18 for the imports after holding up approval for three years because of concerns about the presence in the US of the Asian fruit fly drosophila suzukii.
Eight consignments have arrived in Australia after the US agreed to extra safeguards against the pest, which cost strawberry growers in California about $300 million in 2008, the year it was found there.
After the Federal approval, the Department of Agriculture and Food WA cleared the way for imports on the basis that quarantine measures included methyl bromide fumigation.
The US imports will mean consumers in WA can eat peaches and nectarines during winter when they are out of season for local growers.
Hills Orchard Improvement Group spokesman Brett DelSimone said stone-fruit growers feared the worst if suzukii fly got a foothold.
The industry is fighting Mediterranean fruit fly, or medfly, which destroyed up to 50 per cent of crops in the Perth Hills last season and is a serious pest in the South West.
Mr DelSimone said the suzukii fly had the potential to make medfly look like a minor problem.
"It is far more aggressive and reproduces more quickly, which is why we are so worried," he said.
Local grape growers have collected samples of Californian table grapes for independent testing.
The grapes were on sale in WA for the first time last week despite industry fears about pests and diseases, including fungal pathogen phomopis viticola, which growers fear could devastate vineyards.
Table Grapes WA president Roger Fahl said grapes appeared to be "breaking down" in some cases.
"We expected nothing less on this fruit because many of us go to the US every other year and see the production practices," he said.

Q: Coreaudio render callback in monotouch Ok --- am I soooo close to releasing my audio analysis application and I found an issue with monotouch using core audio. Monotouch actually has binding for core audio / remote io and a sample written was by Miguel that works nicely. That works great 99% of the time. The problem arrises where I think the "stop the world" garbage collector occurs during a render callback in coreaudio. At that point we are in managed code so I can thinking that the render callback is not going to return until the gc is finished. As a result, about 1 out of every 160 frames is dropped (approx every 2 to 4 seconds).
So I have three options without the wisdom to know which is a waste of time.
Write the code audio render callback (and all the other core audio interface code) in c. Then I could pinvoke to get the samples as fast as my managed code can analyze it. This would avoid dropped frames even if I get paused for 20 ms. My main question is can I do this with monotouch? Will the core audio callback function get stopped by the gc if it is completely unmanaged? I could then have an unmanaged circular queue that I pinvoke to read data as necessary.
Just tune the gc in some way to be less efficient but with less time of the world paused. If it was always under 5 ms we would probably be safe. I don't know how to do this in xamarin studio. Is it just a bunch of linker options or something?
Use another API. I've tried the input queue API but the latency was terrible. Is there a middle ground?
I know CoreAudio is awesome and all that, but have to admit the Android port of this app was about 100x faster in this area to develop for my needs.

A: Apple DTS recommends not even using generic Objective C methods in short duration Core Audio callbacks, only deterministic straight C (maybe static dispatch C++).  Any dynamic dispatch or memory management can potentially cause audio underflow.  So unless you can turn off, or guaranteed deterministically bound, all GC and other memory management inside the Monotouch runtime (doubtful) it's probably not appropriate for real-time callbacks.
That's the cost of low latency audio, especially on older hardware.

Q: VSS to TFS migration question\clarification
"Team Foundation source control does
not support sharing, therefore, the
converter cannot migrate the share
links between shared files. You may
have to reorganize files that are
shared files across projects. During
migration, shared files are migrated
by creating a version in the
destination folder by using the same
content as the version of the file at
the time when you started sharing.
From then onwards, the changes that
were made to the shared file are
replicated to both locations."
Quotation taken from: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms400771(VS.80).aspx

Does the above statement mean that if i have a shared file shared in 3 different VSS projects, when the migration is complete, there will be four individaul files all at the latest version?
Thanks
Ant

A:
there will be four individaul files all at the latest version?

Yes.
Sharing as VSS allows is, but current practice, regarded as a dangerous approach: to confirm that a change works in all shared cases one needs to checkin and get. But that means a potentially erroneous update has been placed into version control.
Good practice: replace sharing with files with a single file that each use references directly or indirectly (eg. via a shared library).

Local Chef Mixes Science With Food
by Anneli Star Josselin Rufus
Nicknamed "Eco-Chef" thanks to his Master's degree in ecology from San Francisco State University, scientist-turned-gourmand Aaron French has helmed the kitchen at Albany's Sunny Side Café since it opened five years ago -- and now he's also head chef at Downtown Berkeley's new Sunny Side, which opened last month.
The Albany café, that town's first officially certified green restaurant, has won the "Best Breakfast/Brunch" category twice in the Express' annual Best of the East Bay competitions, along with wins in the "Best Portions" and "Best New Restaurant" categories.
One of French's food-science convergences occurred when he developed over fifty different pancake recipes, then analyzed the correlations between them to devise what he calls "the Pancake Pyramid," which -- as he puts it -- "used the concepts of Multivariate Analysis to create a sectional array of pancake types: Soft and Fluffy, Firm and Dense, Smooth and Silky. The Pancake Pyramid is a useful teaching tool, because it simply explains the different axis of pancake recipe formation."
French's first volume, The Bay Area Homegrown Cookbook, is set for a 2011 release. Also a contributing editor at Fungi Magazine -- where his articles feature recipes such as the spring '09 issue's "Tequila Morel Mushrooms Over Pasta Orecchiette in Hedgehog Mushroom Romanesco" -- French grew up on a Sacramento-area farm, then later traveled the world as a tropical ecologist, studying rare species and investigating how birds and monkeys help to re-seed and thus re-grow rainforests. This passion continues at the Berkeley Sunny Side, whose menus feature organic, sustainable, and certified-humane ingredients as well as a tiny globe-shaped icon denoting low-carbon-emission items.
