Well Kristian, it looks to me like your procedure sucks, since it's
failing on two computers. That should tell you something is wrong with
the way you're doing things. This has been going on for over three
weeks. Pick someone you think knows what they're doing and follow their
Running a script is not saving you any time if it fails. Do it without
running a script. There is a difference between running a script and
running script (the program) to make a record of what went on.
In your supfile, I suggest the following changes:
*default host=cvsup.no.FreeBSD.org
Are you actually using this line? Or, are you trying to disguise it so
we're more confused than already and assume you actually know
My apologies about the above comment Kristian. I see that it does exist

Our professor asked us to think of an embedded system design where caches cannot be used to their full advantage. I have been trying to find such a design but could not find one yet. If you know such a design, can you give a few tips?
share|improve this question
Start with what is the "full advantage" (of the cache/a cache); how can that be minimized/degraded? What overhead/requirements does a cache have that is practical on a [larger] CPU but might not be practical on a microcontroller? – user166390 Oct 3 '11 at 20:14
5 Answers 5
Caches exploit the fact data (and code) exhibit locality.
So an embedded system wich does not exhibit locality, will not benefit from a cache.
An embedded system has 1MB of memory and 1kB of cache. If this embedded system is accessing memory with short jumps it will stay long in the same 1kB area of memory, which could be successfully cached. If this embedded system is jumping in different distant places inside this 1MB and does that frequently, then there is no locality and cache will be used badly.
Also note that depending on architecture you can have different caches for data and code, or a single one.
More specific example:
If your embedded system spends most of its time accessing the same data and (e.g.) running in a tight loop that will fit in cache, then you're using cache to a full advantage. If your system is something like a database that will be fetching random data from any memory range, then cache can not be used to it's full advantage. (Because the application is not exhibiting locality of data/code.)
Another, but weird example
Sometimes if you are building safety-critical or mission-critical system, you will want your system to be highly predictable. Caches makes your code execution being very unpredictable, because you can't predict if a certain memory is cached or not, thus you don't know how long it will take to access this memory. Thus if you disable cache it allows you to judge you program's performance more precisely and calculate worst-case execution time. That is why it is common to disable cache in such systems.
share|improve this answer
I want to add that the 1kB does not have to be consecutive. "... jumping in distant places inside this 1MB ..." is confusing. The "distance" between memory locations doesn't matter. What matters is how often the same memory location is accessed. – Michel Oct 4 '11 at 18:41
I do not know what you background is but I suggest to read about what the "volatile" keyword does in the c language.
share|improve this answer
Er... no, that's not what volatile means at all. – Jonathan Grynspan Oct 4 '11 at 2:50
To expand on Jonathan's comment, volatile just tells the compiler to always access the location directly "from memory" and in the same order as in the source code. The compiler does not really know about cache though, which is transparent to the CPU. Special techniques are required to prevent caching. – Theran Oct 4 '11 at 4:16
@RuneFS, volatile ensures that the compiler does its part right, but it doesn't get the whole way there to properly accessing memory mapped hardware. You still have to ensure that the hardware doesn't transparently cache the "memory" access. – Theran Oct 4 '11 at 6:24
volatile has nothing to do with bypassing the cache. All it does is say do not keep this in a register. Normally volatile is used for shared variables and most often hardware access, so it may have a feel that it bypasses the cache. To complete the circle, some other code or individual has to insure that that address goes through the cache if a hardware register/memory is what the pointer/data is after, the compiler has nothing to do with it. All the compiler is supposed to do is not optimize out the read/write from/to the memory/io interface. the compiler is unable to do more on its own – dwelch Oct 5 '11 at 13:56
@dwelch Indeed, special instructions are needed to bypass the cache when needed for memory mapped devices. Volatile is also necessary to not used the "cached" values in registers, but that is another story and not contributing to the question asked, sorry for that. – Michel Oct 5 '11 at 16:45
Think about how a cache works. For example if you want to defeat a cache, depending on the cache, you might try having your often accessed data at 0x10000000, 0x20000000, 0x30000000, 0x40000000, etc. It takes very little data at each location to cause cache thrashing and a significant performance loss.
Another one is that caches generally pull in a "cache line" A single instruction fetch may cause 8 or 16 or more bytes or words to be read. Any situation where on average you use a small percentage of the cache line before it is evicted to bring in another cache line, will make your performance with the cache on go down.
In general you have to first understand your cache, then come up with ways to defeat the performance gain, then think about any real world situations that would cause that. Not all caches are created equal so there is no one good or bad habit or attack that will work for all caches. Same goes for the same cache with different memories behind it or a different processor or memory interface or memory cycles in front of it. You also need to think of the system as a whole.
Perhaps I answered the wrong question. not...full advantage. that is a much simpler question. In what situations does the embedded application have to touch memory beyond the cache (after the initial fill)? Going to main memory wipes out the word full in "full advantage". IMO.
share|improve this answer
Caching does not offer an advantage, and is actually a hindrance, in controlling memory-mapped peripherals. Things like coprocessors, motor controllers, and UARTs often appear as just another memory location in the processor's address space. Instead of simply storing a value, those locations can cause something to happen in the real world when written to or read from.
Cache causes problems for these devices because when software writes to them, the peripheral doesn't immediately see the write. If the cache line never gets flushed, the peripheral may never actually receive a command even after the CPU has sent hundreds of them. If writing 0xf0 to 0x5432 was supposed to cause the #3 spark plug to fire, or the right aileron to tilt down 2 degrees, then the cache will delay or stop that signal and cause the system to fail.
Similarly, the cache can prevent the CPU from getting fresh data from sensors. The CPU reads repeatedly from the address, and cache keeps sending back the value that was there the first time. On the other side of the cache, the sensor waits patiently for a query that will never come, while the software on the CPU frantically adjusts controls that do nothing to correct gauge readings that never change.
share|improve this answer
Nobody uses cache in these cases, so the situations described are so abstract... – pmod Oct 4 '11 at 12:53
In addition to almost complete answer by Halst, I would like to mention one additional case where caches may be far from being an advantage. If you have multiple-core SoC where all cores, of course, have own cache(s) and depending on how program code utilizes these cores - caches can be very ineffective. This may happen if ,for example, due to incorrect design or program specific (e.g. multi-core communication) some data block in RAM is concurrently used by 2 or more cores.

I know it's not takeaways, crisps, chocolates, cakes, microwave meals, fizzy drinks, processed foods (though bit iffy on what actually constitutes processed foods!) I do know that it should include 5 a day fruit/veg, brown rather than white rice/pasta/breads, water, etc. After that I am stuck. Read few threads on diets here (guess IABU to start a new diet thread!) and see discussion that low fat isn't great and full fat would be better, then there is confusion over sugar content of food.
Am I alone in finding it too confusion and not knowing where to start with being healthy. I am overweight by at least 3 stone as is DH and I desperately want our child to have a better understanding and relationship with food than we might have. It seems a minefield though. There I was thinking I would give them the occasional angle delight as a desert as contains lots of milk and I've just read it is crap. Am I destined to be outcast for serving sausage rolls at dd future birthday parties (DH loves them grr) or giving them fizzy drinks occasionally?
I feel embarrassed not to know how to eat well...or rather feel embarrassed that I think eat well,but am realising slowly that I might not be!
Joules68 Fri 03-Jan-14 14:07:20
dropdead speaks sense!
DropDeadThread Fri 03-Jan-14 11:16:05
*eat complex
Mashed or peeled boiled potatoes are not complex carbs.
DropDeadThread Fri 03-Jan-14 11:15:13
But special, most people do not eastcomplex carbs. And most of us are sedentary so have no need for a diet designed to fuel a moving body.
specialsubject Fri 03-Jan-14 11:00:43
the low-carbers often don't know their basic science. Carbohydrate is a scientific term.
you want to have about 40% complex carbs in your diet - slow release for energy. wholemeal bread, pasta, rice, spuds and veg.
you want to minimise the simple carbs which are just sugar. Cakes, biscuits, sweets. Obvious treats.
lots of veg - can't overdose on that. Some fruit (it is sugary but also has vitamins). Some dairy, some protein, a little fat.
no fizzy drinks - toilet cleaner with added sugar. Kids drink milk or water. No diet foods (con), low-fat foods (Con - added sugar; just eat less of the full fat stuff). Minimise the processec crap- ready meals, anything that sells non-refrigerated in Poundland..
don't obsess. Don't fast. Don't skip meals. Don't pay anyone for eating advice.
tinselledUp Fri 03-Jan-14 10:41:59
Portion size wise - if you have smaller plates and bowls you eat less. I've seen that on diet/food programs. We started using the side plate to the dinner set rather than the main plates and its an easy way to keep portion sizes down.
Soup - keeps you full for longer - than the same food not made into soup.
Plus cooked food can be more nutritious than raw food - they looked at cooked vs uncooked carrots and more nutrients came out of cooked.
That was all on some horizon program about food and digestion but dieting. It is difficult cause healthy eating and dieting do seem to get mixed up a lot.
But YANBU - it can seem confusing at times there can seem to be some much information and I'm not sure how true some of it is.
IndridCold Fri 03-Jan-14 10:41:31
Agree that to have a healthy diet you need to avoid processed food and cook from fresh. Forget angel delight as an occasional treat, have banana and (a good brand, dairy) ice cream instead.
I find that supermarket magazines and recipie cards have lots of ideas if you are not a confident cook. Or, failing that invest in The Gospel according to St Delia.
Borntorun25 Fri 03-Jan-14 10:24:25
YANBU to be unsure about it, so many food manufacturers are trying to push low fat/ low sugar/ 'natural' additive versions of food products.
Keep it simple, lots of veg, fresh chicken/ fish/ meat and a carb, eg pasta/rice/bread as the basic meal plan. I really don't enjoy cooking but you can do quick simple meals with above. I mix whole grain pasta and white pasta half and half, they cook in same pan and take same time, we find all whole grain a bit unpalatable but half and half is fine.
I use butter and full fat cheese/ yogurt as they taste much nicer but in small quantities. Don't sweat the low fat/ low sugar options or treats, if your basic diet is simple and fresh a small amount of whatever is fine.
YY to portion control, most of us eat way more than we need.
And don't forget regular exercise, just 30 mins brisk walking a day, even split into smaller bits will make a huge difference. When mine were little we couldn't walk at any great pace so I played tig with them in play parks, I got over the initial embarrassment and they absolutely loved running around with mum trying to catch them. Brilliant workout!
Betrayedbutsurvived Fri 03-Jan-14 10:19:12

In simple terms why certain things are bad. Loads of recipes etc too, and tons of stuff on getting fussy kids and partners on board too.
FortyDoorsToNowhere Fri 03-Jan-14 09:59:14
I am thinking of getting this plate, it should help with portion control.
brettgirl2 Fri 03-Jan-14 09:45:55
Well quite mcpie. I'm not actually overweight though....... so I posted and all of a sudden the focus was switching from healthy diet to weight.
fatlazymummy Fri 03-Jan-14 09:45:18
Well, I am pretty healthy and I tend to follow the NHS diet. Plenty of fruit and veg, some protein,some carbs, and a little fat. Easy on the cakes/sweets/crisps, and no takeaways, alcohol or fizzy drinks (I just don't like these things, but if I did I would have them as a treat.
As for exercise ,as a minimum try and walk a bit more rather than driving everywhere, then find something physical you enjoy and do that for a couple of hours per week.
It's really just basic common sense. Everyone knows that veg is good for us, and deep fried mars bars or large deep pan pizzas are going to make us fat if we eat them every day.
Motherinlawsdung Fri 03-Jan-14 09:42:48
I agree that it's confusing, but there are some simple rules that you can follow which will help. The first is portion control. When I was a child the standard amount of meat per person in a meal was 4 ounces. That is about 110 grams. Contrast that with what people expect to see on their plates now. Fizzy drinks were only for parties, kids drank milk or water the rest of the time and adults drank tea. I don't understand the science but I am convinced that even low fat fizzy drinks are really addictive and fattening. In case I sound like I think the past was better than today I would add that the advantage of living today is the vastly improved range of inexpensive vegetables readily available in cheap supermarkets and ethnic grocers. OP if you reduce portion sizes and sugar consumption, cut out fizzy drinks, and eat loads of veg you will be well on the way to a good diet.
sisterquestion Fri 03-Jan-14 09:30:24
I think a great place to start is Dr. John Briffa's "Escape the Diet Trap". He talks through each food group with all the pros and cons for each. Really worth reading - focus on weight loss AND improving health at same time. He is very critical of diets that help you lose weight but are detrimental to health.
As to start with as others have alluded to - avoid processed foods. Less sugar more protein.
McPie Fri 03-Jan-14 09:28:28
But brettgirl the basis of every weight loss diet should be healthy eating not deprivation like most of the faddy diets around! Fine you lose weight on them but for how long? I would rather follow the plan I am on eating healthily and exercise than cut out/restrict food groups which in my own personal past has caused more harm than good!
hackmum Fri 03-Jan-14 09:28:08
There's a much quoted saying by the food writer Michael Pollan, which is "Eat food, not too much, mostly plants." That's pretty good advice. So, don't overeat - stop eating when you feel full. Avoid processed foods and ready meals. Avoid fizzy drinks altogether because they are full of sugar and have no nutritional value. Eat plenty of fruit but stay away from fruit juice (or at least drink in moderation), because it gives you the downsides of fruit (sugar) without the benefits (roughage). Lots of green leafy vegetables are a good idea.
The Mediterranean diet, with its emphasis on fresh tomatoes and olive oil, seems to get a good press too.
There seems to be a definite trend in medical thinking now away from the idea that fat is bad for you and a lot more emphasis on the harm sugar can do. Traditionally the view has been that the problem with sugar is that it makes you fat and causes dental decay but it now seems that it plays a role in heart disease too. As someone hinted at upthread, one of the main reasons for the obesity crisis has been manufacturers pushing "low-fat" food at consumers that is stuffed with sugar.
BalloonSlayer Fri 03-Jan-14 09:22:47
Skinheadmermaid I understand the point and it's a good one, but I did smile at "and anything your great grandmother wouldn't recognise as food."
In my case that would mean: pasta, sun-dried tomatoes, rocket, coriander, aubergines, avocados and, yes, yogurt grin
My DH doesn't even recognise couscous as food!
brettgirl2 Fri 03-Jan-14 09:15:34
I think it is also confusing to mix up healthy diet with weightloss diet confused.
BrownSauceSandwich Fri 03-Jan-14 09:11:45
Don't feel embarrassed. There are gazillions of intelligent, literate, numerate people in the world who have completely lost their way on healthy eating. Food/eating/weight has become so tangled up with emotional issues. All those news reports telling us that chocolate/wine prevents heart disease/causes cancer/makes you fart/whatever. Quack "nutritionists" telling us that wheat/dairy/fat/carbs are the root of all evil, or promoting magic foods that put right all the damage.
The general consensus is that we should eat moderately of a wide variety of foods. In the UK, dietitian a use the "Eatwell plate"... Google that for a visual representation of a healthy diet. Remember, this is an overall picture... it's fine to go light on fibre or carbs at one meal if you make up for it at the next meal, or the next day. And don't beat yourself up about occasional sausage rolls and fizzy pop. I think it makes for a healthy mindset to teach your kids that no food is the enemy, and no food an illicit ideal.
Skinheadmermaid Fri 03-Jan-14 09:10:25
Brettgirl2 i also love diet coke and my 1-2 cans a day habit didn't stop me from losing weight or keeping it off!
Skinheadmermaid Fri 03-Jan-14 09:09:13
Eat clean. Lean protein, vegetables and wholegrains.
Avoid white bread, pasta, rice and anything your great grandmother wouldn't recognise as food.
For example;
Breakfast- porridge with natural yogurt and small amount of honey
Lunch- diced chicken, salad ( spinich & lettuce ) leaves, sprinkling of seeds, dressing
Dinner- lamb cutlets, small jacket potato with butter (not loads) green beans
Snacks- banana, dice sized piece of cheese
This is a maintenance diet, a weight loss diet would be slightly different.
brettgirl2 Fri 03-Jan-14 09:07:11
Its ridiculously confusing and mn makes it even less clear imo!
- Fat fills you up, sugar makes you crave more sugar. Therefore fat is less likely to make you fat than sugar I think.
- Eat solid fruit/ veg for five portions it is better than fruit juice ( fruit juice/ smoothies as a 'healthy' add on also add on the pounds)
- Portion control, weigh carbs. 50g rice 75g pasta is plenty. Only have one type of carb per meal so no bread on the side, salad with lasagne not chips
- Avoid sweet drinks
- Eat plenty of protein
The way I see it is there is no such thing as a healthy or unhealthy meal the key is balance and variety.
I drink diet coke because I love it biscuit omg what a thing to admit here hmm and eat chocolate/ cake. The dds have a few crisps but its the whole picture.
McPie Fri 03-Jan-14 09:02:57
This plan is an adaptation of the Counterweight programme that the nurse gave me and it gives some good ideas on what a portion size is. I am on 1900 calories and I personally found it easy to fit into my life and I am someone who can't eat wheat at all or much dairy so I exchange them for gluten and dairy free alternatives and it's still worked, 4 stone and counting!
Eggsiseggs Fri 03-Jan-14 08:54:32
YANBU - and well done for saying so.
I get mad at how poor our food education is in this country. It is something to be learnt like everything else - a type of literacy, even.
And the issue is that we have obsessions with low fat and low calorie and so on, which does not necessarily mean 'healthy'.
Love heart sweets are low fat. But not healthy!
People need to be encouraged to think of the nutritional value of things. Then remember that we need a variety, and varying amounts of, fats, carbs, vitamins, etc.
I hope to see at some stage our kids being taught about nutrition, and then how it translates to workable, affordable meals. IMO the link between the two is missing.
No help to you, OP, but I just wanted to applaud you for just saying it! and have a rant
McPie Fri 03-Jan-14 08:51:26
Portion size is a big thing on the plan the nurse gave me and its helped me with my carb intake. I get 9 portions a day and a portion is 25g dried weight pasta or rice, 100g raw potato or a slice of bread. If I free pour pasta then weigh it I always find that I am at least 25g over the 75g I allow for a main meal. I also have 8 portions of fruit and veg to work through so that helps keep me full (as I work my way through 2 clementine's and a banana before I head for the gymsmile )
Cooking from scratch where you can is also far better for you but if you can't then picking something with as few unknown ingredients is better but watch out for the salt and sugar contents.
DropDeadThread Fri 03-Jan-14 08:46:24
It's my impression that what we traditionally thought of as a healthy diet contains way more carbs than is appropriate for the average, pretty sedentary, lifestyle. People move much less than they used to. Carbs are fuel for the body and not much else - a slice of white bread or a portion of mashed potato or a bowl of pasta is basically a sugar fix for your body, which is fine if you're spending your days digging the fields or hand washing clothes. It's unnecessary if you're moving your right index finger a few times an hour. So to me a healthy diet is lots of veg, some unprocessed protein, a little of dairy, nuts and pulses and limited carbs. I don't practise this very successfully grin

title CAD modelling in multidisciplinary design domains
source I. Smith (Ed.), Artificial Intelligence in Structural Engineering, Springer, Berlin, pp.335-347
summary In a multidisciplinary design environment, such as the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) domain, the various designers will have their own views, concepts and representations of design objects, making communication in a CAD environment a complex task. This paper demonstrates that by taking into consideration the concepts of function and purpose such multiple views and representations can be accomodated. The representation of the functional properties of design objects and their purpose is the underlying basis for the formation of different representations and the coordination of these representations. The paper puts forward definitions for function and purpose which allow for the representation of these properties of a design object and for interdisciplinary communication and integration in a CAD environment.

} | 1,188 | Response to the Gerding Candidates’ Forum on Art
Sean Davis
Yes, I’m the candidate that didn’t get on stage, but more importantly I’m a leader in the Alberta Arts District, a member of the artistic community, and a resident of Portland who plans to live and raise my daughter here. The one phrase that highlights the theme last night happened at the very end of the “Candidates Forum for Arts & Culture” at the Gerding Theater, sponsored by the Regional Arts and Culture Council and Portland Center Stage. It rolled off the lips of moderator April Baer like it was almost an afterthought, but it meant everything: “Is Portland’s soul slipping away?”
People from the art community filled every available seat at 4pm on a Tuesday, and this was remarked on by more than one of the candidates on stage. And we should address that: out of the ten candidates running for mayor and the multiple candidates running against Novic and Fritz, only five sat on stage.
Yes, I was on the news talking about how this forum didn’t accurately represent democracy, but what else could I do? I was told that having all the candidates up there would have been cumbersome. Well, sometimes democracy is cumbersome, sometimes democracy is much worse than cumbersome. I know this from experience, but that’s all I’ll say about that.
I want to talk about how RACC and Portland Center Stage, both groups that get funding from our city government, decided which candidates running for city government would be on stage, and how this forum should have been a discussion on how art is, and will be, a vital part of what makes this town so unique, different, and amazing. I honestly believe they wanted to have a sincere discussion about the importance of art while defining our character as a city, and how we can make the art as diverse as the people. The tragedy is that they don’t even realize how they worked against this very idea by organizing the event and only giving voice to affluent, older, white politicians.
Yes, the seats were filled, but there was no more than a small smattering of applause at any one answer. The community was invested but not amused. This forum, which was designed to speak on arts and culture, had exactly one question that really had to do with arts or culture. The rest was about money, policy, and housing.
The one question about art had to do with the last art event each candidate had been a part of. There were a few pandering answers about seeing a play at Portland Center Stage or about how they sent their kid to an acting class, which I dismiss as quickly as when a candidate says Pink Martini is their favorite Portland band. They’re great, don’t get me wrong, but it’s a safe answer. What about The Builders and the Butchers? What about Illmaculate? What about Floater? What about Vinnie Dewayne? What about the Freak Mountain Ramblers, or T.O.A.S.T? No one had been to an art event and they tried to make it as though the reason had something to do with how busy they were campaigning, but that’s the point they’re missing. The forum was all about who would be a champion for the arts. The person who makes art a priority is the one who fits the category.
Listen, I’m campaigning too, and I have a fraction of a fraction of their money, name notoriety, or position, but I still made time to support my friend’s stage rendition of The Yellow Wallpaper at the Coho theater a week ago. The American Legion post I manage is having a reading tomorrow night and on Saturday we’re hosting another event with a Oregon Book Award nominee. And while we’re on that note, I’m a published author, a painter, a playwright, filmmaker, and an honest to God mayoral candidate. My book, The Wax Bullet War, is about coming back from war soul-broke and how art saved my life. I had no voice in this forum and neither did the Portland art community.
Stuart Emmons couldn’t talk on policy and had no practice in the political rhetoric of the other candidates and because of it he looked completely out of his league. This is a shame because I truly believe that he was the one person up there that really would make a difference if given the position. The two mayoral candidates were asked if they’d commit to the arts. Wheeler dodged the question, but Bailey said he’d increase the budget. The mayor of our city only has very few powers the rest of the city council does not and one of them is assigning bureaus. When asked if they would take RACC over from Nick Fish they both dodged the question. When asked how we can keep more artists invested in Portland, both candidates recited their housing policy.
We had an opportunity to have real artists speak about the role of art in Portland’s developing character, and how we could use it to do some good in our communities, but instead we stripped the night away to talking points.
Portland’s soul is slipping away, April.
Portland’s soul started slipping away the moment the artists who live here made this place so great that people from all over the country wanted to move here. Instead of concerning ourselves with our artists’ ability to earn a living wage or pay rent, we allowed ourselves to be more concerned with the money that would come in from people moving here. When we talk about making art a priority, we need to understand that means a priority over money as well. The city will always have a budget crisis. In fact, we made this place a nationally recognized center for art and culture during a budget crisis, so when we have an opportunity to speak for and about art we need to do just that and not turn it into a group of politicians saying, “Yes, it’s important, but how can we pay for it?” We need to realize its importance and decide what we are willing to do in order to promote, encourage, and foster it in our communities. If we can do that, we can keep our soul from slipping away.

} | 871 | Citigroup CEO Jane Fraser’s top challenges, explained
This appeared in The Millennial Source
The pandemic has struck every major bank hard, but the challenges for Citibank could be even greater due to the increased assets that the bank has in credit cards, a type of loan that has seen the greatest risk of loss during the pandemic.
In February, Citigroup’s chief executive officer Michael Corbat will step down after a 37-year career at Citi, the last eight of which he has spent as CEO. Corbat will be replaced by Jane Fraser, who will inherit some of the top challenges that face the bank.
During Corbat’s tenure, the focus was on increasing consistent growth, a goal he achieved by setting the company up to routinely pass stress tests and show an acceptable return on equity. In 2019, Citibank led its competitors in growth, despite being smaller than competitors in almost every metric.
In addition to her clear qualifications as a Cambridge and Harvard graduate, as well as time spent at Goldman Sachs, Fraser will make history as the first woman to lead a major Wall Street bank. But that won’t shield her from the challenges facing Citibank and the other major banks at the current moment.
International volatility
Over the past two years, the international economy has seen a number of volatile challenges, including the trade war between the United States and China, Brexit and the coronavirus pandemic.
Some of these issues, particularly the US/China trade war, have not affected Citigroup as much as they have their competitors. For example, the shift in the soybean trade due to the trade war meant that China turned to South America instead of the US to avoid the Trump administration’s tariffs.
Such issues have indicated a broader problem facing the major banks. Volatility in the international economy can cause problems for banks that don’t have a functioning infrastructure in relevant countries when trade shifts.
Citigroup was fortunate to have an established sector in Argentina and Brazil, but challenges can easily arise if things shift to countries that Citi doesn’t have established networks in.
“When trade corridors shift, not every bank benefits,” says Eric Li, a Coalition trade-finance expert. “It can take years to develop a footprint in a given country or region.”
Future challenges are a real threat to all major banks. For Fraser, the question will be how to increase Citi’s economic stability in a geopolitical economy that is increasingly seen as anything but stable.
For this, however, Fraser’s resume makes her well-equipped. Fraser was born in Scotland, attended universities in two different countries and served as CEO of Citigroup’s Latin America operations, giving her an international perspective that will likely prove valuable in the volatile global market.
In a Citigroup press release, Fraser is quoted as saying, “We will invest in our infrastructure, risk management and controls to ensure that we operate in a safe and sound manner and serve our clients and customers with excellence.”
Citigroup joined JPMorgan Chase and Wells Fargo in releasing more than US$5 billion in loan-loss reserves during the pandemic in a move that indicated confidence in their clients and the ability of the US economy to rebound. While a step in the right direction, the company still reported a 7% loss in net profits year-over-year in the fourth quarter of 2020.
More broadly, the difficulties the coronavirus pandemic has presented to major US banks undermined some of the stability that Citigroup had spent the better part of a decade building. For Fraser, the challenge will be regaining that sense of stability and consistency, while also creating firewalls that protect the company in the event of similar economic recessions in the future.
Correcting failures
In August, Citibank accidentally sent US$900 million to a client’s creditor, rather than the interest payment that was intended to be sent. The ordeal was a disaster, resulting in a US$400 million fine from banking regulators, and raised questions about the means Citibank had in controlling the payments it processed.
Though the situation has settled down somewhat since the court case in December, Jane Fraser will face scrutiny as it relates to the implementation of new policies and protocols going forward.
Despite the challenges she has ahead of her, Fraser has gained the confidence of both her predecessor and the board of directors.
“We believe Jane is the right person to build on Mike’s record and take Citi to the next level,” John C. Dugan, the chair of Citi’s board of directors, said in a press release. “Jane’s ability to think strategically and also operate a business are a unique combination that will serve our company well.”

Help, my boss wants to move to Ruby on Rails
We have several classic ASP websites. Now, my boss & IT guys want to migrate these over to Ruby on Rails. My preference would be to go to ASP.NET MVC. Can anyone help me build a list with arguments why we should stay with MS and move to ASP.NET MVC?
As an example, one of the problems I see is that the designers of Ruby on Rails are reluctant to add any new features -- much to the dismay of the RoR community. So, if you compare that to Microsoft, that would be an easy argument -- I think.
Anything else?

Ruby is an amazing language and you can develop with it fairy quickly. Rails is a MVC design pattern tool kit with a built in ORM. It also has scaffolding which helps you get CRUD pages up fast.
C# is a very good language and has "borrowed" most of Ruby's nice features. With the new release of .Net 4.0, c# is almost 50% lisp so you can develop with it fairly quickly. MS MVC is a MVC design pattern tool kit that is not quite as advanced as Rails but they are getting there. .Net has its own ORM with many more bells and whistles then Rails (which isn't necessarily good). MS MVC does not have scaffolding but unless you are building an internal web app that doesn't need any styles and everyone loves drill down you will be writing your own anyways.
The only real difference is scalability and performance. If you have a small website then RoR will not be a problem, but if you have a site the carries a heavy load you will need to spend quite a bit of time making it scalable. You will have to move to a better ORM mapper (like Merb/DM), make sure you have caching plan and really tune your app.
After that it comes down to preference and skill set. I have built websites using both. I think the Ruby language is very elegant and easier to code then C#, but I find the C# platform provides a very structured and robust tool set. You will also need programmers to code and maintain your sites. Currently it is easier to find developers to hire with "real" experience developing in C# then RoR. Hopefully as RoR gets more popular more developers will get more corporate exposure to RoR.
There is the question of cost. Microsoft tools cost and RoR tools do not. As with all free programs, you get what you pay for. What you don’t pay for in tools you pay for in higher developer salaries or longer development cycles. (Java developers still get paid more then .Net)

The best argument you can use in this case is the learning curve. Not only will there need to be an investment in Ruby skills which in all honesty wopuldn't be too bad but you would need to learn and understand a new runtime.
In my experience learning a new language is never the most difficult part of changing platform, but learning a runtime environment is. Understanding the runtime usually comes with many years of experience rather than books or a course.
This coupled with the fact that you already have developers with Microsoft experience and the development being made in ASP.NET MVC should make it a more convincing argument for staying with the MS platform and technologies.
Of course moving to ASP.NET MVC woiuld typically come with a need for Visual Studio which is no small investment, this can always affect the decision.

Dude trust me, I am so happy for you. If you embrace this change with open arms, I believe you will be better off. I would have loved to be in your shoes. I actually learnt ruby and then rails in my own spare time and I have worked a bit with MVC as well; personally ruby appeals more to me as the syntax is more expressive and compact, and more powerful. While learning ruby I actually cleared allot of my concepts in other languages hence it was a good experience for me. Additionally you will have another technology under your belt. So my suggestion is not to shy away and think with an open mind. | https://www.dofactory.com/topic/1007/help-my-boss-wants-to-move-to-ruby-on-rails.aspx?sort=postdate&order=desc | isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2020-10

American Creole: New Orleans Reunion »»»
In American Creole: New Orleans Reunion, jazz musician Don Vappie finds his sidemen scattered, his flooded-out Mom sleeping on his couch, and his 8-year-old grandson clamoring to join the band. But in the wake of the nation’s biggest natural disaster, where the landscape that gave birth to jazz has been destroyed and Don’s culture and community have been blown to the winds, what’s left to call home?
An established artist in the New Orleans music scene finds his sidemen scattered by Katrina, his flooded-out Mom sleeping on his couch, and his 8-year-old grandson clamoring to join the band. American Creole: New Orleans Reunion takes the audience on a tour of the front lines of a devastated city’s cultural rebirth: offstage, where race is infinitely more nuanced than black or white; backstage, where which instrument you play can be a political statement; and joyously onstage, where the only thing that matters is music, and local legends make it cook.
In the wake of Hurricane Katrina, Don Vappie -- musician, bandleader, Creole -- struggles to find work and his cultural identity in New Orleans. This new documentary premieres on PBS on Thursday, September 7th at 10:00 p.m. EDT, just over a year after the killer storm slammed the Gulf Coast. It follows Don as he tries to keep his band together and bring musicians back to the city. Through his journey, Don begins to question what makes a community, and whether the culture he grew up in can survive not just the storm, but also the social crosscurrents of modern America.
Don has played with Wynton Marsalis, Beausoleil and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band, along with fronting the Creole Jazz Serenaders, who were recently booked at Carnegie Hall. Rich with music, the film features performances by numerous stars of New Orleans jazz, as well as Don’s far-flung, talented family, which includes a cousin who wrote hits with Ray Charles, another who was a band mate to Paul McCartney in Wings, and a third who recorded with Frank Sinatra, Barbra Streisand, Quincy Jones, and others.
While Don was displaced by Katrina for only a month, more than half of his eight sidemen saw their houses destroyed. All were forced to evacuate to distant cities. Don scrambles to keep his band alive by taking what gigs he can. On the road, Don wonders if he would be better off living somewhere else, like New York. But can he really leave New Orleans, his home?
Don’s questions lead him to friends, mentors, and fellow musicians, each affected by Katrina in his or her own way. They offer views on what it means to be from New Orleans and what it means to be a Creole of Color, a racial and cultural mix of African-American, French, Spanish, and Native American ancestry, with a rich history in Louisiana. With even his family members unable to agree, the answers he finds are as varied as the cultures that make up his heritage.
In the city, the major festivals go on, but it’s not enough. If the musicians are going to come back, they need gigs, and if the city is going to come back, it needs its musicians. So Don decides to host a Rent Party and later a musical family reunion, gathering the cream of the local jazz scene and his scattered musician-relatives, because “When the music comes back, everybody’s gonna come back!”
American Creole was produced and directed by the award-winning husband-wife team of Glen Pitre and Michelle Benoit, whose movies (Belizaire the Cajun, The Scoundrel’s Wife), documentaries, books, and museum design have won them an international reputation. In 2002, film critic Roger Ebert acclaimed Pitre “a legendary American regional director.” Milly Vappie and her company Vappielle, Inc., producers of recorded music and cultural programming, are also co-producers along with Côte Blanche Productions with Louisiana Public Broadcasting.
The documentary was made possible by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and by grants from the Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities, the Southern Media Fund, the Louisiana State Arts Council through the Louisiana Division of the Arts, and the New Orleans Musicians’ Clinic Gig Fund, through the .

Demo of pVoice 2.0
[ #11029 ]
Yesterday I was at a meeting in the rehab-center where my daughter attends her therapies to discuss the way things are now, and the therapy-plans for the near future.
It turns out that my daugher herself is doing fine, but all kinds of things regarding assistive stuff like wheelchairs and such are not going well at all. Since she moved from Rotterdam to Groningen (city up north in NL) the people responsible for actually paying for the wheelchairs, her computer and stuff (the local governments of Rotterdam and Groningen) are arguing who is responsible for what and who should pay for what. Needless to say that there is only one person who is suffering from these 'fights'...
Since the divorce I didn't interfere with this at all, since my ex-wife was supposed to take care of it. But after this meeting I see that at the very least she needs a little help. I don't know if I can make a difference here, but I am going to try to arrange something so that while the municipalities of Rotterdam and Groningen keep arguing, my daughter doesn't suffer from it. Stupid governmental rules!
After the meeting I gave a demo of pVoice 2.0 to Krista's speech therapist. It wasn't finished yet (and still isn't), but apart from a few loose ends it was ready to be shown. The original intention was to show it to more people, but the meeting took too long and they had other things to attend already. But the speech therapist was the most important one to show it to. And she was enthousiastic. She liked what she saw and I'm certain that we'll keep in touch on further improvements.
And then the Sponsoring. I've been trying to get some sponsoring for the development of pVoice software for a few weeks now. I've been sending out emails to trustfunds, software and hardware companies, and although most of them refused, ActiveState said 'yes' and gave me a free license of the Perl Development Kit. Needless to say I'm very happy with their sponsorship!
Most of the organizations that had to decline my request didn't decline because they didn't want to, but because I'm doing all of this as a private person. They want to sponsor some foundation or something. I can understand that. Still I'm trying to figure out a way that I can spend more time on this. Every time I speak with therapists I see that they don't have a clue what kinds of technology is available for disabled children to make their life easier. That's a crying shame. Maybe I should commercialize some of my work to make a living out of it and promote all of the wonderful inventions other people and companies have done. I still think basic things like communication (read pVoice) should remain available for free. But maybe I can develop optional components and try to sell those, and maybe other soft- and hardware to institutions like special schools and rehab-centers...
Still...I don't know...

• They want to sponsor some foundation or something.
If your laws are anywhere like those of France, that's understandable. Couldn't you simply create a non-profit they could sponsor and that would in turn pay you to work on pVoice?

} | 477 | Put on every layer of animation (FX layer effect setting)
Often I need guides to go on every frame and it’s a pain to put something on every frame and line it up so the layer does’nt jump when on playback. Here is where this FX setting would come in handy. Just a suggestion. thanks in advance
Unfortunately I did not understand the request. Can you provide a more detailed example?
Ok thanks for considering. When you use an FX setting it effects the whole layer throughout the entire animation. So far you have stroke and believe me that really helps. And you also have display another project. but imagine if you could display the “said” layer throughout the animation. I can see where this could really help you could put a template on a layer add “put on every layer of animation” FX setting and make it disappear as you turn off the layer. it could also be useful for a still background as well.Any help is greatly appreciated thanks in advance.
I understand that e.g. Stroke should be able to address a couple of combined layers but I don’t understand this to be useful in general.
Can you please describe a specific use case about what you want to do and what you think is not possible to achieve easily?
Thanks again Jan for even considering. First of all this has nothing to do with stroke only" FX settings I’m sorry I led you to believe that. "Often when I draw complicated animations I draw templates often certain parts of the template stay the same. Say I was drawing a giant bug and I only needed to animate the arms and legs. Then I could just invoke this option and it would draw my template on every layer. Without it I would have to draw the unanimated parts of the bug cut them out and advance a frame and stamp them one at a time through the animation if I accidentally stamped the layer down in the wrong position when the animation goes on the bug would jump. wouldn’t it be so much easier to have a tool to stamp down the animation on every frame perfectly for me instead? this would also be useful to draw a non changing background as well.
That is what I am suggesting. I hope it helps, thanks in advance.
So the body of the bug should not move through out a range of frames or even over all animation?
Two approaches:
1. create a single image layer:
Its contents is always a single frame only.
2. pick up the body as a brush. When stamping it down with the single dot tool hold Alt + Ctrl (order is important) and stamp it down. It will be stamped to all available frames from here.
Does this help?
I think this would help thank you. | https://community.cosmigo.com/t/put-on-every-layer-of-animation-fx-layer-effect-setting/577 | isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2022-27

} | 680 | Lead the Experience
Why do certain companies, brands, and even people stand out in a world where everyone is basically saying and doing the same thing?
People in my business ask that question a lot. My guess is that people in your business do, too. And for the most part, we all get it wrong. We focus on the tools – like marketing campaigns, social media, and advertising – and ignore the goal – to make customers want to do business with us.
Your potential customers are asking three questions: Why you? Why now? What makes you relevant to my needs and wants today. The answer to these questions communicates your brand and creates your attractiveness in the marketplace.
Your brand is a promise made and a promise delivered. It isn’t your slogan or tag line—those are merely communication tools. Some of the best brands don’t even use a tag line or slogan—think Google or Starbucks.
You deliver the promise when you create an experience. You can own the experience, but the customer owns the perception of the brand. Here are three things you can do to define and deliver an experience that sets you apart:
1. Define the Vision: Be crystal clear on how you want to be known and perceived by the people with whom you want to do business. Dick Mitchell, Managing Principal at the Click Here Agency, says that the first step in creating your brand is to define your truth. Ideally, your vision is the embodiment of that truth expanded and extended to the marketplace. The clearer the vision and the closer to your truth, the more compelling the promise.
2. Be amazing with your execution: Fundamentals are the minimum in today’s competitive world. Being distinctive is the difference – if it adds value. Every true competitor delivers about the same product at about the same quality and about the same level of service and value. To stand out, you must master the fundamentals and be amazing at the things that make you distinctive in the hearts and minds of the customers.
3. Protect and enhance the experience: There are people who return to Disney World every year. That’s because Disney consistently replicates the experience that initially hooked the customer and then enhances it with something new. Past success proves you were right once, and you must re-earn your attention every day.
Here are three examples of a groups and individuals who defined a vision based on their truth; deliver amazing execution; and protect and enhance the customer experience:
1. Zappos. Everyone is talking about Zappos right now and for good reason. You don’t need to know that their tagline is “Powered by Service.” It is evident in every interaction.
2. Chico’s. My wife loves Chico’s because they have a product line and shopping experience that fits her style, sensibilities, and tastes. You won’t see a lot of teenagers or 20-something’s shopping there. That’s not their promise. But if you want age-appropriate, stylish clothing designed for women who want to look their best, check out Chico’s. Say hello to my wife when you see her.
3. Larry Winget. You may know Larry as The Pit Bull of Personal Development® and New York Times best-selling author. I am fortunate to count him as a great friend. He’s also one of a handful of people in my profession who have created a brand that is truly distinctive. The pit bull tag line didn’t create Larry’s brand. It simply and accurately articulated the experience of his audience and fans.
People and businesses have been trying to stand out forever. They tend to focus on what they can do to stand out to the detriment of building an experience that stands out. Don’t get lost in the tools like social media and marketing programs. Make the experience meaningful, and the rest will fall into place. That’s the way you deliver results.

Dan Fogelberg - Same Old Lang Syne (1980)
The Story behind the Song (I copied this from YouTube just in case you didn't go there)
"Same Old Lang Syne" is a song sung by Dan Fogelberg released as a single in 1980. It was also included on his 1981 album The Innocent Age. The song is a narrative ballad told in the first person and tells the story of two long-ago lovers meeting by chance in a supermarket on Christmas Eve. The melody phrase at the beginning of each verse is taken by Fogelberg from Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture. It is now frequently played during the holiday season and is integrated with traditional Christmas songs. The song ends with a soprano saxophone solo by Michael Brecker based on the melody from the original "Auld Lang Syne".
After Fogelberg's death from prostate cancer in 2007, the woman about whom he wrote the song came forward with her story. Her name is Jill Greulich, and she and Fogelberg dated in high school when she was Jill Anderson. As she explained to the Peoria Journal Star in a December 22, 2007 article, they were part of the Woodruff High School class of 1969, but went to different colleges. After college, Jill got married and moved to Chicago, and Dan went to Colorado to pursue music. On December 24, 1976, they were each back in Peoria with their families for Christmas when Jill went out for eggnog and Dan was dispatched to find whipping cream for Irish coffee. The only place open was a convenience store at the top of Abington Hill where they had their encounter, located at 1302 East Frye Avenue. Today, the store is still in business and is now called Short Stop Food Mart. They bought a six pack of beer and drank it in her car for two hours while they talked.
Looking at the lyrics, Jill says there are two inaccuracies: She has green eyes, not blue, and her husband was not an architect - he was a physical education teacher, and it is unlikely Fogelberg knew his profession anyway. Regarding the line, "She would have liked to say she loved the man, but she didn't like to lie," Jill will not talk about it, but she had divorced her husband by the time the song was released. | https://categorian.com/blog/tags/u/Thex/tag/dan+fogelberg | isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2022-27

Things you learn when you live on your own in a different state, are cheap, and can’t have your parents come over to help:
1. Fire extinguishers have to be checked by fire people every so often to make sure they still, ya know, put out fires.
2. Floating shelves are the devil and walls can be too soft to handle stupid screws. Screw screws.
3. WD-40 can apparently fix everything.
4. Staple guns are amazing.
5. You can overfill your car tires with air when you are trying to fill them back up. Apparently you only have to hold the air thing to the tire thing for a second.
6. Popcorn is a totally acceptable dinner at least twice a week.
7. Using a measuring tape and level thing are pretty necessary when hanging stuff.
8. Things can be toasted in the oven if you’re too cheap to buy a toaster. Toasters are pretty irrelevant.
9. Mattresses are expensive, but if you go to mattress firm in Temple you can get free delivery and a date…I think getting my cell phone number off the order form, texting me to see how my mattress feels, and asking if we can chat about it over coffee goes a little above the call of duty…but then again, I am a first time mattress buyer.
10. Toothpaste can do a lot of really handy things.
11. Empty wine bottles make beautiful vases…home decor…another great reason to drink more wine.
12. There are different kinds of oil that can go into your car and putting the wrong one in your car is bad.
13. There are blenders that can make soup. I am now the proud owner of said blender. Soup maker and smoothie maker. Two for one all day.
14. You should put a towel down before you iron on surfaces other than an ironing board.
So these are all the wonderful things I have been learning while living on my own. I am such a functional adult, it truly is amazing. The good news is, my mother will be here next week and she can fix all of the things for me and cook all of the delicious meals. | https://carolinegallogly.wordpress.com/2013/11/ | robots: classic

A Texas land grant led to the formation of Denton County in 1846, and the city incorporated in 1866. Both City and County were named after pioneer and Texas militia captain, John B. Denton. The arrival of a railroad line in the city in 1881 spurred the population. The establishment of the University of North Texas in 1890 and Texas Woman’s University in 1901 distinguished the city from neighboring regions. In addition,, due to the construction of Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, finished in 1974, the city saw more rapid growth. As of 2011, this city was the seventh-fastest growing city with a population over 100,000 in the country.

Chapter 218 – Supreme Youth
Perfect World
Yi, there are Rain Clansmen coming from those mountain peaks. They also rushed here during the first moments! Let’s move quickly!” The ancient Tuoba family’s second price spoke in a low voice.
There were traces of the Rain Clan within the mountains and valleys, almost as if they had the same ideas. This was not a good omen. Currently, everyone knew that the devilish brat had the divine bronze book on him. It was reputed as a priceless treasure, so they all wanted to obtain them.
Other than the great powers that wanted to kill the devilish brat, there was a large group of people who rushed over for the treasure. They competed fiercely as a result in order to obtain the precious book.
En, there are people there as well as Archaic descendants. The situation doesn’t look good…” At this time, the Rain Clan noticed the ancient Tuoba family and the Western Tomb Beast Mountain’s experts.
A group of people rushed forward. Precious artifacts shone, and they stuck close to the ground as they moved through the mountain forest, leaving behind streaks of rainbow light. They bore through the mountain range while leaving behind dazzling and vibrant lights.
This mountain range immediately bustled with activity. Several ancient families left behind prominent footprints as they tried to outdo each other. They all wanted to be the first one to find the little guy.
“It seems like that child is inside this mountain region. Quickly go and inform the master so that our experts can be lead here as quickly as possible!”
There were many cultivators that did not approach this area, and instead turned around. They activated their precious techniques, and after these techniques boosted their bodies, they began to run towards the limits of this great land to inform the experts within their sects.
Immediately, all types of multicolored light sparkled, and precious light danced about. It was as if they were stars as they rushed towards the distance. This mountain range region was bound for great disorder, no longer remaining peaceful.
During this period of time, the powers already began to compete against each other. Was the ancient Tuoba family more powerful or was the Rain Clan? This was crucial because a portion of their main force were sent over, and with so much manpower undergoing the same tasks, it was imperative that they were the first ones to rush into the mountain range depths.
“He’s over there!”
One individual had sharp eyes, finding the little guy extremely quickly. He immediately revealed an excited expression, because this meant generous rewards. After killing him, they could obtain the divine bronze book.
From their perspective, the devilish child was already about to die. He was just like a tiger that lost its fangs, posing absolutely no danger. Even if he wasn’t killed, he would soon breath his last even if left alone.
Sure enough, within the grassland, there was a large expanse of leftover blood, the grassland dyed deep red. It was quite clear that he lost quite a bit of blood, and that his life couldn’t be preserved.
Tuoba family’s people were stirred up. They immediately dispersed and surrounded this forest to prevent him from escaping again.
The Rain Clansmen’s expressions changed. They broke in from the side, because they had to get inside. The treasure was right in front of their eyes, so how could they pass this up?
“He’s still lost in thought when death’s at hand. It seems like ever since he failed to establish the tenth heavenly passage, he sank into a dejection and remorse. The expression you are making is absolutely wonderful!”
Tuoba Family’s sixth prince immediately began to laugh. He seemed rather carefree, but there was still a coldness within his eyes as he stared towards the youth sitting within the mountains.
The others all laughed. There was no better result than this.
Even though the Rain Clansmen were laughing coldly, they still had their teeth clenched, because their hatred for him was just too deep. Just half a month ago, this devilish child destroyed their pure land and unleashed a slaughter, making them truly suffer.
The little guy was truly in a state of stupor. While he sat on top of that rock, he simply couldn’t understand why he didn’t receive some kind of reward. He should have broke some kind of record, right?
While he was fleeing for his life, he heard a few rumors that within the great wastelands, no one had ever established their tenth heavenly passage within the Void God Realm before because it was too dangerous. He should be the only one to have accomplish this, so the stone tablet should have appeared.
“Why?” The devilish brat was rather unhappy, and his large eyes were full of ‘depression’. He kept thinking that something wasn’t right.
He was furious and felt that since the Void God Realm was created through interweaving order and laws, it couldn’t see everything. It might have overlooked something, so he couldn’t hold himself back as he look towards the heavens and shouted, “You still owe me! Owe me the precious book, why aren’t you descending yet?!”
Everyone became stunned. This fellow went crazy. It appeared that after seeing the end of the road, he went mad from anger. Otherwise, how could he spout such nonsense, trying to bargain with the Void God Realm….
“Careful not to be swindled by him! This time, no matter what happens, we cannot let him get away!” The Rain Clan spoke coldly, wanting to be the first person to kill him.
“Your act is pointless. You can play the fool and appear pitiful, but after the failure of establishing the tenth heavenly passage, you don’t even have the qualifications to live anymore. Why don’t you just give up your life while in remorse?” Tuoba family’s second prince laughed coldly as he spoke.
At this time, a scarlet needles appeared between his fingers. It was precisely the Soul Shattering Needle with the potential to destroy destroy both the body and soul. The Tuoba prince did not want to give him any chances, killing him both here and in the real world.
The devilish brat was staring blankly this entire time. Only after he finished venting towards the heavens did he pay attention to them. He looked at them with disdain, as he naturally wouldn’t feel any bit of nervousness or fear.
Many people became furious. A person who was already going to die still dared to act like this? This was simply contempt for them, not even putting them in his eyes.
The people here wanted to rush together, but conflict began to develop between them. Dispute began to occur between the Tuoba family and Rain Clan, because all of them wanted to kill the little guy and seize the precious book.
“Fellow friends, we were the first ones to discover him. Shouldn’t we go by the first come first serve basis?” Tuoba family’s sixth prince spoke as he looked at the Rain Clan expressionlessly.
“There is a great hatred between him and our clan, so how could we not get our revenge? He must be killed by my Clan!” The Rain Clansmen argued and pushed forward.
The two sides immediately confronted each other at this point. Conflicting views appeared, and fighting intent was in the air. They assumed that the little guy was completely without fighting strength, basically like a terrified chunk of meat. As a result, they began to compete with each other.
“How about this. After we kill him, we will discuss how to distribute the bronze precious book on his body.” In the end, an elder from Tuoba family showed his face. He feared that something unforeseen might happen if they wasted time.
These clans weren’t the only ones here. There were others, and they were all quickly closing in. If they argued any longer, then there might be others that might arrive and demand a piece of the reward.
“Fine, then let’s kill him before discussing how to divide the spoils.” A great elder from the Rain Clan replied.
The group of experts began to group up before walking forward. Brilliant multicolored light shone from each of them as killing intent surged from their bodies. At this point, they were finally going to cut down the devilish brat, so there were quite a few people with cold expressions on their faces.
Only, the devilish brat was looking at them with even more contempt. It made those complacent individuals who thought they were harvesting their prey absolutely furious.
What kind of look was that? No matter how you looked at this, it was as if they were being treated like dogs. There wasn’t the slightest bit of nervousness and only apathy; this was too arrogant!
“You know perfectly well that you are going to die, so did you lose your sanity? Let me tell you, even if you want to die, it’ll be difficult! I want to let you understand how terrifying it is to offend my Rain Clan!” An elder shouted.
“How terrifying could that be?” The little guy asked.
“You’re going to wish you were dead!” That person shouted while pointing.
“I hate being pointed at by others.” The little guy had stood up. He raised his hand and raised his finger. Symbols flickered, and with a pu sound, that expert immediately exploded!
“What?” Everyone was completely shocked. What did the youth do to be able to take one’s life with just the raise of a finger?
“It doesn’t matter. He’s already an arrow at the end of its flight. Haven’t you seen how he was acting during that last battle? His inner flame was already burning out.” Someone shouted.
Sigh, the fall of a hero! I never thought that such a divine hero like me would fall here.” The devilish child sighed, and his eyes contained a desolate look.
When everyone heard this, their expressions all changed. Even he himself admitted it out of despair, so what else was there to be concerned about?
“I’m not going to say too much about handing over the bronze book, and don’t want to make things too difficult for you by wasting your time.” An elder spoke.
However, this was not how everyone here thought.
Tuoba sixth price’s eyes flickered and looked towards the second prince beside him. “Second brother, is our bet still on?”
“But of course. Whoever kills him first will receive the other’s potion of merit after returning as well.” After speaking, the second prince walked forward.
However, they did not do the job themselves, but rather allowed the people below them to attack. They were going to attack together and quickly behead the little guy.
At the same time, everyone from Rain Clan made their moves together. Multicolored light erupted and precious techniques filled air as they hacked over.
“A person truly hides behind hundreds of masks during their life! After seeing your shameful performances, I’ve decided to send all of you on your way!” Right at this moment, his expression suddenly because incomparably dangerous, and his body shone with symbols everywhere. His aura was terrifying to the extreme, making people feel a bit shaken.
Everyone felt their souls being affected, as if they were forced to crouch down. It was a type of innate reverence, a bone deep urge to kowtow and bow down.
“What is going on? Is this the divine might of a supreme deity?” An elder cried out with fear.
He once heard that the Western Tomb Beast’s people say that upon establishing the tenth heavenly passage, there would be a type of supreme divine might accompanying it. It made people shaked and even their souls shiver.
A domain formed around the little guy. Golden symbols densely covered this area, as if the divine realm was opened and he had descended before these people.
In that split second, all the people charging over were blown apart into pieces. Within the golden symbols, a rain of blood scattered down and ashes flew outwards; they couldn’t even get closer!
This type of power shook everyone. Every single person felt their souls shake while they were in disbelief.
Everything, including those precious techniques that flew over were broken apart. A rain of light scattered about, as if there were sparkling and translucent petals falling gently with incomparable brilliance.
Within that flourishing divine multicolored light, a single youth stood there. His black hair scattered downwards, and his eyes were bright, possessing a type of unexplainable prestige. It was as if he was a young deity as he walked over, every step widened the divine domain.
“Why did it end up like this? What happened?!”
These people felt their lips trembling and their hair standing up. The fear inside of them reached its peak; how were they supposed to defend against this type of imposing aura?
“Quickly, stop him! Don’t let him come over!” At that moment, everyone fell apart. They turned around to flee.
However, this was completely useless. The little guy’s surroundings flourished, the rain of light flying about. With just a wave, Tuoba family’s sixth prince collapsed before flying over.
Ah, why is it like this?” The sixth prince cried out in fright. He lost control of his body, and was actually flying backwards.
The little guy was like a god, sending him flying over!
Tuoba Clan sixth prince’s arms clawed and his legs kicked about as he struggled fiercely. However, it was all futile. In front of the little guy’s shining body, he was as weak as a young chicken.
Everyone was frightened. The sixth prince was quite powerful and was a rarely seen genius. However, in the end he was still so defenseless. Compared to that youth, he was just like a chicken or puppy!
This was like a difference between a rock and a pearl, like the heaven and earth.
The little guy removed the scarlet divine needle from the sixth prince’s hands . It shot towards the prince’s head like a streak of lightning with decisiveness, quickly taking away his life without wasting any words.
The soul was completely extinguished, so his real body also died!
Ah… No!” Everyone from Tuoba clan shouted loudly. This was difficult to accept; an important genius within the clan died just like that, moreover in such a pointless manner.
With a chi sound, the little guy caught a scarlet divine needle that flew over with his bare hands. It was thrown by the Tuoba family’s second prince. Meanwhile, he also rushed over with a precious artifact.
“Why don’t you come back!”
The little guy shouted with an imposing voice, and a string of golden ripples could be seen coming out of his mouth. It was incomparably terrifying as it quickly expanded. With a hong sound, the precious artifact at the second prince’s feet exploded.
Everyone’s minds began to tremble. Just what kind of force was this? With just a simple shout, he could destroy a precious artifact!
With another wave of his hand, the second prince was also sent flying over. Without even giving them another glance, he directly stuck that scarlet needle into the prince’s forehead. With a pu sound, he passed away and his body disappeared.
Everyone began to tremble and cry out with great fear as they fled in all directions. They were all scattered out as they tried to escape.
It was because every single one of them were terrified, and their bodies were shivering with coldness. It shook even their souls, as if they were being subdued.
“No one can leave!” The little guy spoke. Even though his voice wasn’t loud, there was still a type of terrifying awe. It was as if a deity was casting down his will.
With him at the center, symbols erupted. It was brilliant like a river of stars, and absolutely dazzling, as if countless great stars were colliding together before exploding apart.
Golden symbols hid the sky and covered the earth, engulfing in all directions. It rushed towards everyone, locking down this place.
At this moment, a magical scene appeared. All of the experts were confined within, and time seemed to have stopped as everything froze in place. They still had their original postures as they suspended in the air or stood on the ground.
These people had alarm in their eyes. They were still in their original fleeing positions, and the scene was extremely strange as their movements suddenly stopped.
Only when the little guy released a light shout did this prison free up. However, when the golden symbols exploded, everyone shouted out loudly before howling in grief.
Bodies began to split apart one after another, all of them exploding. They became ashes within this golden rain of light, pulverized by the supreme divine might of the tenth heavenly passage youth.
The little guy didn’t even give them a second look. His entire body circulated with brilliant splendor as he walked out from the mountains. He was going to take a look at the other outstanding individuals.

} | 718 | CHUCK MEAD (BR5-49) By Shaun Mather)
Born Charles Lynn Mead, 22 December 1960, Nevada, Missouri
Anyone familiar with the retro-hillbilly band BR5-49 will know Chuck Mead as the Robert Redford look-a-like who plays lead guitar, shares lead vocal responsibilities and is pretty much the smooth talking front man of the band. He claims that he and Gary Bennett formed a partnership after they met in a bar and had a contest to see who could sing the most Johnny Horton songs - not a bad reason to form a band.
Bennett was singing in Nashville's bar/boot store Robert's Western Wear when he was joined by Mead, who'd also been playing on Lower Broadway, with the Homestead Grays. They formed BR5-49 in 1993, adding Smilin' Jay McDowell on slap-bass, Shaw "Hawshaw" Wilson on drums and Don Herron on fiddle/steel/kitchen sink/penny whistle/comb/pin-that-drops/clogs/two fingers/harmonica/coconut shells (useful for Tennessee Stud) and dobro. They built up a reputation as the city's best/only real country band, playing covers of Hank/Cash/Horton/Moon(who?)/Faron Young etc. They made their money from a tip jar. Their name came from a sketch on Hee Haw. By '95 they were becoming a tourist attraction and late comers had to settle for a view of the band from outside on the street. The place was so packed that even a few Music City Row executives turned up. Surely they were too country! Regardless, they were signed to Arista on October 13, 1995, and immediately recorded a mini-CD, recorded live at Robert's. Made up of originals and covers, it shows the band were raw, but obviously they wanted it this way. They'd insisted when they signed to Arista that they would only record for a major label if they could retain their hillbilly sound - they didn't want to sell out (just yet!).
They toured with the Mavericks and Junior Brown and in late '96 they recorded their first full length album. The album was a critically acclaimed success, with another high quality mix of originals (Even If It's Wrong) and covers (Cherokee Boogie). Country (ha) radio was typically sceptical of playing anything with a hoe-down feel, but the record still managed to enter the top 40. Other highlights of the album included One Long Saturday Night and Lifetime to Prove.
The next album came in 1998, Big Backyard Beat Show, which followed the same format as the others. Another goodie, it featured tracks that were a staple of their live show, like 18 Wheels And A Crow Bar and My Name Is Mudd. With Bennett and Mead still sharing the lead vocal role, their close harmonies had also improved. I know it's Chuck's birthday, but I can't go on without mentioning the musicianship of Herron, whose all-around work is great, but particularly his steel guitar playing.
In '99 they toured the US with the Brian Setzer Orchestra during which they recorded a full live album, Coast To Coast. When Arista's country division went the way of the dodo, the band were on the street. They were picked up by Lucky Dog (Sony) who proceeded to try to make them sound like 90% of country radio. The album This Is BR549 was a real let down. The band now looked like the Beatles, they had a heavy radio-friendly drum beat and the songs seemed far removed from Little Ramona and Sweet Sweet Girl. For some reason they even removed the hyphen from their name. As with the others, the record failed to sell (despite the drop of the hyphen).
After a long quiet spell the writing seemed to be on the wall and it came as no surprise when a split was announced. Bennett and McDowell left and have since been replaced by singer/guitarist Chris Scruggs and bassist Geoff Firebaugh. They band have produced a mini CD for sale at gigs only and appear to be regrouping. They have their hard-country hat back on and hopefully will be back to have another crack at the Nashville empire. And leading the band will be the easy going blond guy with the big smile, the good looks and the tasty guitar licks.

Jameis Winston visiting the Buccaneers today
Brian Spurlock-USA TODAY Sports
Jameis WInston is on his one visit with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers right now, as first reported by Adam Schefter of ESPN. Schefter notes that Winston's visit will be very "Glazer-centric", so it seems Winston will have to convince team ownership that he's the guy they should draft.
The visit will take three days according to Adam Schefter, but Rick Stroud and other local beat writers claim it will take only one day. League rules only allow Winston to spend one day at the team facility, where they can run him through workouts. The team could still meet with Winston outside of the facility, which would be a gray area, per Gil Arcia. So presumably he'll talk to some coaches and other folks outside of the building.
Today will be absolutely crucial for Winston, though, because he has to convince everyone that his off-field issues were just immaturity and that he's grown past that immaturity. Because if the Bucs are going to draft him with the first overall pick, they have to feel they can trust him.
Marcus Mariota is expected to go through a similar visit, presumably later this month. | https://www.bucsnation.com/2015/3/3/8142103/jameis-winston-visiting-the-buccaneers-today | isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2022-40

} | 769 | How to Talk to Your Florist about Your Wedding Flowers
Learn how to talk to your florist about wedding flowers from floral designer Sarah Brysk Cohen in this floral arrangement video from Howcast.
Communication with your florist is an absolute priority, when you're talking about wedding flowers, and certainly designing an entire look for your big day. So I always think that planning for wedding flowers the most important word to think about is collaboration. That it is an interaction between you and your design style and your budget, and all of the things that you want and hope and dream about, and the expertise that your florist can.
So when you get together the idea is that you're going to have a lot of inspiration and maybe you have a lot of ideas. Look, maybe you have no ideas and you're happy to just sort of hand it off to this professional, and have that person do everything. But you know, my favorite way to work with people is that when they come to have me they maybe some images they've pulled from the internet or from magazines or just ideas or visions or things that have inspired them in their own lives. Something maybe that's personal to them, a hobby or a craft or something.
They come to me and they want to incorporate these elements into their wedding or they have an idea about style or palette or feel, and then we start to create a vision together of what their wedding can look like. The expertise that I bring is going to be to know what's in season and to know what's fresh, to know what's available to them in that venue, in that location, what style will look good in that venue, in that location. Also, to be able to be impromptu and to think on my feet.
So a big element of being a wedding florist and trusting your wedding florist, and communicating with your wedding florist is that, the day of or the day before or whenever your wedding florist is getting your flowers for the wedding, there may be things that become unavailable that you had planned. There may be other kinds of snafu's, weather fluctuations, something like that. So to trust that the person that you're working with is going to be able to make a quick decision on their feet, about substituting some important element or working with whatever comes up.
So that's really, really important. I think you know, the qualities of a floral designer that you want to have somebody who certainly has some experience. Maybe they have worked in the venue where you're having your wedding, so they know the lay of the land. Even if they haven't worked in the venue where you're having your wedding, that you see enough images from them to speak to the style that you're interested in having.
So if you have a very traditional, classic wedding that you're interested in having with the flowers, then make sure that they have enough pictures, and maybe you've even seen live. Maybe you've even been to a wedding that they've done, and they did your friend's wedding or your sister's wedding and you thought, "God, those are really gorgeous flowers. This is in a venue and/or in a style that I really love." So you have some experience with their design that makes sense with the design that you're planning.
You know, to be talking to them very openly and honestly about your budget. I always stress this point, and it has to be somebody that you feel very comfortable talking about money with. A big quality for any vendor for a wedding, but certainly for a florist, would be somebody that you can communicate honestly and openly with about anything. That person, throughout the entire time you're working with them; it could be up to a year or more that you're communicating and collaborating with your florist; so that person has to be able to be a good listener.
To be an active listener. To be somebody who can change course, if things change along the way. So these are all factors in thinking about talking to your wedding florist, communicating with that person. Generally, just like you pick any kind of vendor or professional that you work with, really developing a sense of trust. If you feel like they're returning your phone calls, returning your emails, all of the other things about running a business that make you trust somebody, the same thing applies to a wedding florist.

Set 8036
French Knights
Click for larger image
Date Released 2005
Contents 19 figures and 19 horses
Poses 9 poses, 4 horse poses
Material Plastic (Fairly Hard)
Colours Grey
Average Height 25 mm (= 1.8 m)
The fifteenth century was a momentous time for France. By its conclusion she not only incorporated most of the Angevin lands but also Burgundy, Anjou and Brittany - in short she began to resemble the France of today. As in the rest of Europe this was a time of many wars, and although the effectiveness of cavalry was fast declining the mounted knight was still seen as the elite of any army.
As is normal Zvezda practice, they have labelled each figure in this set. Their descriptions, reading left to right on each row, are:
Row 1
1. General
2. Herald
3. Standard Bearer
4. Sword Bearer
Row 2
1. Knight
2. Sword Bearer
3. Knight
4. Mounted Crossbowman
5. Mounted Shooter
Heralds were usually unarmed and their task was to identify liveries, keep records of performance, deliver messages and so on. The figure in this set is not a herald (although he is dressed as one) but a trumpeter, which were again often unarmed but whose task was to convey instructions to the troops. It is notable that only six of the 19 figures in this set are identified as 'knights', the rest being ancillary or 'support' personnel (hand gunners and crossbowmen were never considered knights).
By the early years of the fifteenth century the jupon or surcoat had largely disappeared, and knights were 'harnois-blanc', meaning they wore bare armour. Such is the condition of the knights in this set, which are also wearing the correct style of armour for the century. The great helm too was from an earlier age, and the basinet was also disappearing, although some here seem to wear it still, or at least the successor bicoquet helmet, while others wear a visored sallet. None have shields, which were considered largely redundant now knights were encased in full plate armour, and they were reserved only for the tournament. One knight is holding his sword aloft while the other is armed with a lance, couched under his arm as usual. This lance is 47mm (3.4 metres) long - a just barely respectable length - and has a large pennant towards the point. Given that a whole century is a long time in the evolution of armour, these figures are properly done.
The handgunner and crossbowman are more problematic. They are reasonably attired in helmet and reinforced jacket with leather gloves and boots, and are in fact the same figure with simply a choice of right arm and weapon distinguishing them. Sensibly Zvezda have provided sufficient of these arms to make all six figures either one sort or the other, which is a good idea, and they also come with either a bag of ammunition for the gunner or a bag of bolts and a 'goat's foot' loading device for the bowman, both of which attach to the saddle. The gun is a simple device that is having the match applied manually rather than using a trigger, which suggests it is appropriate for the earlier part of the fifteenth century rather than the later. However the stock is pressed against the shoulder rather than resting on it, so the whole apparatus is basically supported by the left hand, which is precarious indeed. While crossbowmen could move about on horseback like any other part of the army (and crossbowmen were sometiumes used as mounted scouts), firing while dismounted was more common although firing from the saddle was sometimes practiced when the crossbow could be reloaded on horseback. Yet in this set we find just as many crossbowmen and gunners as true knights, all of whom are firing from the saddle. We feel this is a very poor choice for a pose, particularly when there are so few actual knight poses anyway. Worse yet they have not been given a standing mount, so not only would they have all the obvious difficulties of operating while mounted, they could not hope to aim with any precision. In short, we felt these are very inappropriate, particularly for a Western European army like the French.
None of the horses have full housings, which were out of fashion by the fifteenth century, but some do have plate armour - a development that occurred around the middle of the century. The harness and saddlery are correctly done, and it should be noted that the higher rear portion of the saddle is actually done as part of the figure rather than on the horse, which is a good idea. Each figure has been allocated to one specific horse, so there is less room for variety than in most other sets. This is because all the riders have pegs on their legs that are meant to fit in holes in the sides of the horses. This is a common arrangement in larger scale figures, but very rare in 1/72 scale, but since legs were held quite straight (rather than gripping the horse) it must have seemed a sensible move when the figures were designed. In reality however they are a nightmare. As the figure is forced down into the saddle, the pegs naturally bend up, making it almost impossible to persuade them to enter the holes. Frankly we eventually gave up and cut the nuisance pegs off, using them to fill the now unwanted holes in the saddle. A great pity the idea was not thought through.
It may seem tedious to say this, but yet again Zvezda have produced a simply beautiful product. The sculpting is just superb and the detail immaculate, much as we have come to expect from this manufacturer. We found the hole for the lance needed slightly enlarging before it would fit, and we were disappointed that the banner and one of the horse's coverings were engraved with a design, but in general these are a top class example of the sculptor's art. No trace of flash, and where items fitted together, as in the separate arms, the engineering was faultless. Sadly however we felt the design of these figures let them down, with the misguided attempt to fix men to horses and the unwise inclusion of so many gunners and bowmen in a set labelled as 'knights'. When you consider that knights increasingly dismounted to fight in the fifteenth century anyway, we were much disappointed overall by this set.

[Verse One: MURS]
Your shit don't stink
Your ship won't sink
Disapproving gays, but the bitch won't blink
Holier than, greater than thou
Hold it in, I can tell that you're proud
We're not allowed
To feel equal
You don't get down
With real people
We're all so small
In your big world
Go ahead and frown up
And let that lip curl
You got your generating, elevator eyes
Look me up and down like I'm the species you despise
Your arrogance, apparent, you can't wear it inside
Like a character that you don't care enough to hide
You act like you embarrassed by the rest of us guys
When you need oxygen like the rest of the pride
Like the rest of the school
I guess you too cool
Your shit's too hot to drop in our pool
But don't get beached bitch
You got a tummy full of plankton
Ain't nothing but some sea shit
Full of yourself so you float to the top
A human hot air balloon that I'm hopin' to pop
My sharp wit verse your really dull animal
Your cynicism really isn't hard for you to channel so
It's effortless
You're better than the rest of us
I get it
I admit
Why you even waste your breath on us?
Scratching "Oh shit"
[Verse Two: Slug]
Hey wait
You lookin' at me with the whaleface?
Judge and jury tryin' to stay out of a stalemate
Spoken like you know the truth
Stop pretendin'
Check up on yourself
Tell me who you condescending?
That's not special
That's not a rare case
A bunch of assholes
Evolving at a snail's pace
They hold they nose up in the air
Until they open up and share like they know that you care
Yeah, say thanks for the rain on the parade
Make a little hate like it raises up the stakes
I'm not the first to mouth the words that I'm not perfect
But you wouldn't need to curse it if you went and found a purpose
Scratch the itch til your fingernails break
You know it
You felt it
So what your inner realm say?
You smell fake like jail bait and hair spray
Tell me how to fail taste and oh have a great day | http://ohhla.com/anonymous/murs/felt_thr/whalefce.mrs.txt | robots: classic

} | 1,279 | Where is Madison's epicenter? Waverly Place? The Hartley Dodge Memorial building? Lincoln Place? The restaurants and coffee shops where people gather?
Between April 1 and the end of the Little League baseball season, it is Rose dale Field and Dodge Field, where a daily, and nightly, carnival takes place between and outside the lines of the baseball diamonds.
I toil inside the lines, as an assistant coach for a Senior League team, the Rose City Transmission. I wonder what our mascot is? The Cogs? The Gears? The Fluids?
We have quite the crew, with more moving parts than any smooth-running transmission should have, and for anyone who hasn't taken part in the carnival, I suggest you stop by to enjoy the spectacle.
As places to observe human nature go, Dodge Field is right up there. Where else can you see parents encouraging their children, children nodding sagely to their parents, and siblings actually cheering for siblings? Where else can you go for a free show that always makes at least half the people feel good?
Here are the players who populate our team:
There's Nate Taylor, our leadoff hitter and first baseman. Nate's nickname is " Elvis," and like his namesake, he's often surrounded by girls, sometimes, right in the dugout. He sometimes gets distracted. So far, Elvis hasn't begun to toss scarves to his admirers, but last night he wore a curious headband under his baseball hat. Hmmmm.
Nate's brother Matt is a future star, coming out of his big brother's shadow. He is still trying to come to grips with the knowledge that stealing a base isn't a mortal sin. But, he's not afraid, and he's going to be a future star.
John Mathews always has a smile and is as engaging and intelligent a kid as his big brother Brian was when he played for us the past few years. Now Brian is a golfer. Go figure. We always worry about which John will show up to play, the one who's the player we can count on, or the one we can count on to do something strange. It's always interesting.
Andrew de la Flor is a 13-year-old whom we call "Hoover," because he vacuums everything he can reach out at second base, and never stops complaining about his nickname. When threatened with either "Electrolux" or "Orick," however, "Hoover" doesn't sound so bad to him.
Kenny Hughes is no bigger than the bat he uses, but he is still determined to hi t a ball over the fence. I'd settle for the outfield grass. He's about the size I was in seventh grade, and just as quick with an excuse, and a quip. We're not sure whether he'd rather play baseball or lacrosse.
The smart money says it's 3-to-1 Luke Richardson will get hit with the ball before he has a chance to swing at it. He's Murphy's Law on legs. The other night he was hit by a pitch, then, after stealing a couple of bases, he got hit by a throw as he ran home. He never gets cheated on his swings, and has more friends than any other player. And he wants to talk to all of them, even when he's at second base.
Bill McLinden wouldn't swing at the ball last year, and had trouble catching it, too. Now, he pounds the ball with the sweet swing we knew would result in hits. He has a glove the size of Rhode Island now, which the ball finds more and more . He has made himself a reliable outfielder, and it's always fun to see him smiling.
A.J. Rooney, our captain, is tougher than barbed wire and has the attitude we want to clone. With him behind the plate, we're a different, more focused, better team. He's a superduper star off the field, as well as on it, and works harder than anyone to improve.
We knew Joe Negri was going to be a good player when he came up from Little League last year. This year, he's our bulldog, and it's no surprise to find him playing one of four positions.
A week ago, his parents, God bless 'em, even allowed him to not go on a sister's college visit because he wanted to play in an import ant weekend game. I'd have begged for the same chance.
Over the winter, Doug Paetzell underwent a metamorphosis from slow-footed to speedy. Last year, his nickname was "Puffy." This year, it could be "Roadrunner."
He's a neighbor, and I've seen him out in mid-winter, throwing a baseball against his garage. He purely loves the game, and is a player I'll watch on the varsity in two or three years. His lips move, and I know he has something to say, but so quiet as to make me think I need a hearing aid.
The other day, Louis Brown said to me, "I'm a gamer, coach, I don't practice we ll." He listens, learns, improves, which is all we can ask of any player. No matter where we play him, he contributes in many ways, every game. Next year, he'll be a cornerstone.
Dan Germain showed up for our first practice last year with a cast on. He began playing mid-season, and we could see he was a player. He's our center fielder this year, and we're counting on him to become the guy we call "the black hole," where every ball hit eventually gets sucked in. He's not the black hole yet, but more like the gray hole, turning darker with each game. His mom is our most vocal fan, and we all listen for her inventive cheers.
Scotty Hanrahan is another new guy, a kid who can definitely play, and in fact, plays on several other baseball teams in the area. We can't figure out a way to keep him out of the lineup, and he keeps finding new ways to remind us of how valuable he is.
Our coaching philosophy is: we will make mistakes but we'll try not to make them twice, and we won't criticize a player for trying. I think we have more fun than some of the other teams.
Our drafting philosophy, thanks to Bill Doherty, our brilliant first head coach, is: know the parents. Draft kids who are like the parents you like the most. Th e rest we will teach. As I said, "We have more fun than some of the other teams ."
Roger Paetzell, our head coach, and Jim Hanrahan, the other assistant, are parents of kids on the team. My son plays lacrosse. Last week, someone asked me what I get out of coaching.
I managed to keep a straight face, and answered sincerely , "I get to see the kids grow in the greatest atmosphere, and see them make adjustments and learn things that will serve them all their lives. At half-time of lacrosse games at the high school, I can wander over to watch kids I've coached succeeding at a higher level."

Getting the Respect You Want
Recruiting the assistance of men in this culture often proves to be a disappointing experience, so it is logical that many women avoid doing so unless absolutely necessary. Whether a woman is agreeing to allow a man to show her a good time, letting a male partner know she wants an errand or household chore accomplished for her, or even doing business with a serviceman, the low standards for men in this culture usually result in them being less than generous materially and energetically.
The responses men offer to women who express what they want might contain elements of cooperativeness and respect, such as a one word acknowledgement that they still retain their hearing, or even a partial show of interest in the woman’s request while they exhibit preoccupation with something else, but it is often followed by joking excuses for their lack of follow-through on those requests, or mere procrastination for completing the task using unsolicited comments on the woman’s sex appeal, as if she cared to know what their sexual mood was.
This kind of teasing is a mixture of flirting with “the blow off”, which is a way men avoid working on behalf of a woman while trying to disguise their laziness and apathy with cursory flattery, and even that pertaining to their own selfish preoccupation with a woman’s sensual stimulation for them. It is a form of disrespect.
Rather than wasting their energy explaining how disappointing men’s apathy is, a woman often gracefully tolerates a man’s irrelevant sexual comments and leaves him in the dark as to how to gain her genuine interest in him.
This, of course, is justice for him, but not enough justice for her, for there are men who would eagerly compete with such a man for her interests, and that can be used to satisfy her wants and discipline the disrespectful man by rubbing his nose in it. Often, it is not until a man feels he is losing out on the opportunity to get a woman’s attention that he is motivated to treat her the way she wants.
A woman reveals her standards for tolerating male company by making specific requests of them and verbally, as well as sensually, expressing her happiness or disappointment with the responses men exhibit. She is guaranteed to get a man’s attention when she tells them how their behavior changes her perceptions of them, like letting them know that their joking in response to her concerns is their “failing to convince” her that she “can take (them) and (their) skills seriously”; or that their request for her time without the hospitality to offer service to her, like buying her dinner or entertaining her, is really them “not showing sincere interest in” her.
Likewise, she is guaranteed a man’s attention when she avoids a disappointing experience with him to get what she wants from someone other than him. His competitiveness for female attention causes him to take an avid interest in what is attracting hers. That’s why it is in a woman’s best interest to always admit what her interests are and to give her attention to them as well as to the men who contribute to her achievement of them.
So, when a man disregards a woman’s request for his service, or her concerns for a prompt response, or her interests in being shown respect and offered things she enjoys, he loses his opportunity to gain more attention from her. He defaults. At that point, getting what she wants is as simple as by-passing him to find another man who will respond to her request for service with the treatment she likes. When she disregards men who disregard her and lets them see her reward her attention to the man who respected her interests by showing his solid interest in them, she allows other men to regret their delay towards her and gives them motivation to change.
After a few repetitions of this experience, most men reach a state of willingness to exit their comfort zone to regain the woman’s interest in them, often displayed as a plea to let them do something for her at her convenience and a claim that they “don’t want to lose” her. Of course they don’t. Up to this point she’s offered them more than they’ve ever offered her, mostly because of her female character and at least because of her sensual appeal for them. They have a lot to gain from being in her presence.
It is at this point that they are ready to follow and that she can begin to take the lead and tighten her rules for rewards and denial with strict enforcement. She can choose to give them another chance at achieving her desires, or not, but the important thing is that she doesn’t suffer for their lack of readiness and that they learn to respect her for it.

This post is absolutely dead-on. It is very true that a sincere male who properly respects women will plead to serve at her convenience so that he may gain by being in her presence. I certainly know from experience that willingness to follow only comes after sufficient humbling and the surest sign of masculine enlightenment is the desire to accept strict rewards and denial with strict enforcement.

As usual, I loved your post, which I think gives very useful advice for women.
In a nutshell, you seem to be saying to them that they should be clear about what they want, and sexually ignore men who do not leave their comfort zone to please women. I'm sure that if such advice was put into practice by most women in the world, we would see very different male behavior, no doubt.
As you say,
However, as a man, it saddens me that we men might need to be treated as animals (and trained accordingly) for us to serve women.
More importantly, it worries me that men so often recognize their moral obligations towards women only when sex, or at least the promise of it, is thrown into the mix, as you suggest. When that happens, they might change their behavior, but they don't change their minds and hearts, for they're not recognizing any moral obligation; they're merely changing their strategy, "investing" in their own future pleasure by serving the women they're interested in.
In other words, what about the women in whom these men are not sexually interested? Most likely, those women will not get the benefits of male respect. But do they deserve to be respected any less?
Is there any other way women might teach men about male obligations towards females without "bribing" them?

Hi Ms. Christina,
The point that men have low standards is an important one. It is a great example of the creativity and intelligence of this blog. It takes the focus off the controversial idea of domination and submission and raises the question: why do men have such low standards of behavior in relation to the higher standards set by women. It is almost a taboo question. That fact alone makes it clear that our culture is still patriarchal. For if people were to ask it, they would have acknowledge the superiority of women in many respects.
Concomitantly, the move toward a culture with higher standards requires women to hold men to account. That in turn implies that women come into their power by living by their own standards. Insofar as that is the case, she also comes into power in relation to men. It is a formula for female leadership that does not depend on self-acknowledged male submissiveness. All in all, I think this post is brilliant.
Blanche Black said...
It's interesting how men seem to feel comfortable treating themselves as animals when they have access to what they want, such as a lap dance, or exposure to
self-exalting porn, or sex without sexual loyalty, but suddenly become concerned with issues of respect when they are trained as animals to give women something in return.
Your question of changing men’s minds and hearts is a valid one. Usually, a woman has nothing to lose if a man’s mind and heart is insincere in honoring her. A man pays her upfront with his offering of pleasure for her in order to receive the warmth of her attention, and she receives what she wants from that transaction. If he is insincere and his homage ends, she invests her attention elsewhere among other superior male competitors.
By the time a woman invests herself in relationship with a man and makes herself emotionally vulnerable to a man’s mind and heart, or his true perception and opinion of her, she has required him to pass many tests of character by requiring him to delay his own pleasures to give her pleasure first. He either drops out of behavioral devotion to her, or he continues behavioral devotion and begins to experience the emotional and psychological pleasure of male sexual dignity and empathy for another person. Repeated experiences of this phenomenon will transform his mind and heart until his sincerity is won over by the reliability of her guidance for him.
In actuality, all women have the power to inspire men to follow them regardless of a man’s ability to notice a woman’s sensual appeal. Feminine appeal is not merely sensual but social. Women are more generous as friends, more devoted as allies, and harder working at professional relationships than men because they have developed higher standards than men for self-preservation and because they are skilled at empathy for others. Their value as allies and mentors, professionally and socially, currently outweighs that of men, and so men are motivated to work for a woman’s approval simply to maintain access to her emotional and social responsiveness and reliability.
This is why in my article I say that a woman should redirect her social attention elsewhere when a man fails to honor her. "Sexually ignoring men" is not necessary for evoking male cooperation, although regulating sexual rewards can be used at a later time for intimate relationship development.
So bribery is not part of this dynamic, as a woman is not offering anything to a man that he doesn't deserve, or withholding anything that he does. There are no teasing promises for potential sex, although a man might make that association out of his own self-flattery. The rewards of her emotional self-expression, and any pleasure from her visual beauty, are actual rewards in and of themselves.
The only reason that women’s social assets seem less motivational for men than women’s sexual assets do is because women do not often regulate their social rewards according to men’s behavior as much as they regulate their sexual rewards. In this article, I explain how women can regulate their social assets- their responsiveness and social availability towards men- in order to make men’s desperation for women’s social company more noticeable to them so they remember why they need to redouble their efforts at appealing to women.
It is only when a man finds himself in a position where he has to work for something in order to gain it that he actually works for it and begins to appreciate it in mind and heart as a result.

Hi Ms Christina,
As I read through your last response and noticed my own response, I am struck by one thing that underlies everything that you have said here and spoken of in your previous blog posts; and that is your self-confidence in relation to men. A self-confident woman is willing to regulate the social rewards she grants. A self-confident woman is aware that women are superior to men in their social assets.
But, most important, to me, is that as a man I realize that I am facing a woman who can see through me as man because she knows that she holds the upper hand. For some deeply-seated reason that is comforting. It induces in me--and other men I suspect--a kind of reflex of wanting to serve and please and obey. A woman's self-confidence in relation to men creates this powerful, irresistible undertow in a relationship that can be the basis of her ascending to a position of authority. Speaking as one who has felt it, that undertow is its own reward. It creates the paradoxical truth that the male takes as much if not more satisfaction in a woman's legitimated power over him--her authority--as she has.
In your case, Ms. Christina, your confidence in relation to men, is a kind of gift offered to all of us. For that I thank you.

I am wondering where there is, or could be, a brave new world where men can work for and report to women ~ as more of a natural order. I know for sure that my standards and work performance go up when I have a great Female Boss, but this has been all too rare an occurrence in my professional life. Most of the time I’ve had male “bosses” and they usually make my skin crawl.
Thanks for the great post and comments.

Obedient jim,
I often try to envision this myself. There is a book, Femaria, City of Women, by a woman called Supreme Goddess Lorena, which actually plays out and describes such a vision in great detail, (the book is 30 chapters long). Perhaps you have heard of it,
This is the only book I've come across so far that envisions an entire society under female management like this, but if anyone else knows of others I would love to hear from them about it. It's nice to have an array of theories as to how such a social change would come about and look like.
Anonymous said...
I agree but it will be very difficult to train adult men who have many options with women because they will feel free to move on to the next. And if not all women are confident in their superiority it will make it hard for the women who are to train men because men can always find one who isn't.
Maybe men need to be trained early on in the home by their mothers and sisters to serve and respect women, as well as in the schools?
Blanche Black said...
Haven't you heard,Men Love Bitches. They never forget a challenge.
This is about a woman getting what she wants from the man who competes the best. When a woman gets what she wants, who cares what a man does; but the consequences of his poor performance, his experiences losing what he has wanted from a woman while she moves on to get what she wants, make him aware of his vulnerability to loss because of poor performance in the future. He either changes, or he loses her, and any other woman that respects herself.
People see lots of women in the media that have no such standards, or they see "nice" women with lower standards than the self confident woman. What they don't see is the hidden costs and complications that come when a man chooses to pursue women with lower standards, even for temporary relationships.
Women with very low standards do have their way of taking care of themselves and their unmet wants. Some simply don't stay with the man for long, or they have the same low standards for other men besides him and accommodate everyone at the same time- neither of which is flattering. If a man pursues them he is gaining their attention only on a temporary basis, and to get anything more from them would require the equivalent of a bribe, like his wealth or social status. The affection he gets is for what he has, not for him. And, from what I have seen, men tend to resent this- it seems to bother them emotionally, even though they chose that arrangement. You can't get something for nothing.
Women who are "nice" but simply have lower standards than the self-confident woman also have egos, though they hide them. They eventually either realize they are unhappy with the disparity between their treatment of the man and his treatment of them, and then decide to leave him, or they stay and become resentful. And a resentful woman will fight, or disrespect a man behind his back, or find some way to retaliate every time he disrespects and neglects her. His is not a position to be envied.
So, when people think of immediate gains then yes, men can get away with just about anything they like. But the consequences of their actions and their choices are felt over time and change their mind later. These dynamics work justice between women and men over the long-term. Some men catch on quickly and realize they prefer the confident and satisfied woman, while others take a long time to regret their foolish attempts at taking emotional shortcuts.
But all that is their problem. A woman doesn't have to make his problems her problem and try to fix him to get what she wants. A woman only has to move on and find a wiser and more grateful man, and there are many of them out there.
Anonymous said...
You're right Christina. There is a right way and a wrong way to do things. It is too bad some women have to suffer the consequences of our bad behaviour in the short term, but at least justice will prevail in the long run and men will get exactly what they deserve.
I like to think sometimes by treating women well I am also making up, in a small way, for how bad other men treat women, especially historically. Of course, nothing we can do can ever make things up to women. I think we're always indebted to you, from birth alone... let alone everything else.

I think women need need men more than men need women. They need men to appreciate their efforts on their appearance, in the kitchen, in the bedroom, and even as the breadwinner in modern society. It is almost scary how hard a woman will work to please the men in her life when she is complimented, appreciated, and respected. It is far from the one way street you suggest that men are meant to serve women. My experience has been the total opposite. My girlfriends and female friends reciprocate my efforts much more. They prepare meals for me or take me out to eat, they buy me thoughtful gifts. They compliment me and are respectful. They go out of their way to help me even if I don't ask for help. They don't punish or discipline me. I don't think they would even if I asked them to. I am respectful to them and I like to compliment them. I don't argue with them. I listen to them and don't offer my opinions unless I am asked. I take them shopping or fix things on their car or home, but their efforts to please me exceed my efforts 99% of the time. I am not talking about sex because that is mutually pleasurable and beneficial. I like to caress their feet or give them massages because they have beautiful bodies. Truth be told, I think I enjoy it as much as they do. I love to talk with and be close to women. As many men have realized today, they can clean and decorate their own homes, they can prepare delicious meals, they can have satisfying professional and social lives. They don't need to get married, but they still love to be around women.
Blanche Black said...
Lol.. so you've found some young women who give more than you do in your relationship for temporary lack of access to suitors who offer them a better return for their efforts. That is subject to change with time:
"Women, watch out: needy men are on the rise.The stereotypical emotionally-cold men who dread the thought of the ‘ball and chain’ are long gone, writes Radhika Sanghani. Millennial blokes are far needier than the girls they're dating..
"But while the needy man is on the rise – the not-so-needy independent woman is too. Girls don’t ‘need’ boyfriends anymore. We can support ourselves financially, enjoy casual relationships with no stigma and go on as many dates as want, whenever we want (thank you Tinder and OKCupid). We aren't enthralled by the noughties lesson of He's Just Not That Into You like the Sex And The City girls were, because we're the ones who just aren't that into him.
"Women no longer rely on boyfriends to take them on dates or give them security, because they can find it elsewhere. Besides, today’s 20-something women are more focused on climbing up the career ladder and getting a decent salary by the time they’re 30, rather than worrying about how to ‘bag a man’."

I apologize if I upset you Ms. Black. That was not my intention. You are right, of course, it is your blog and you can post or not post any response you like. I hardly think of you as my Mommy. I know that you are a strong, independent, and highly intelligent woman-- much smarter than me. I like to think of you as a teacher and I really like to read your articles. You have given me the motivation to learn about feminist ideals more than any other writer. I know I am an ignorant man. I also know that the best way to change a man's actions is to change his thinking. The logic you use in your blog has started to change my thinking. I want to read as many of your references as I can. Thank you for your wonderful blog, Ms. Black.
Blanche Black said...
Well, I appreciate that. There are a few books in particular that I would recommend. The Macho Paradox, by Jackson Katz, as well as Guyland, by Michael Kimmel, will help give you a cultural context for the behaviors of women in this patriarchal culture. Hopefully this will shed some light on why so many women cater to men in our culture rather than look out for their own benefit.
A few others that you also might enjoy are: The Guy's Guide to Feminism,by Michael Kaufman and Michael Kimmel; They Went Whistling: Women Wayfarers, Warriors, Runaways, and Renegades, by Barbara Holland; The Mercury 13, by Martha Ackmann; also, if you have the stamina, check out Mothers and Daughters of Invention, by Autumn Stanley.
These books demonstrate (with documentation) that strong, genius, pioneering women who developed a good portion, if not the majority, of the technologies contributing to modern civilization have been just about entirely written out of history books by bigoted writers. And none of those women wasted their time working to please men in exchange for compliments.
Happy reading,
Ms. Black

Thank you Ms. Black. I will go to the library today to try and find at least one or two of the books you mentioned. Up to now, most of my reading has been on the internet. I am not smart like you. I can see why any man would jump at the opportunity to serve you. He could learn so much if he is willing to humble his ego and open his mind to your wisdom. I barely know you, but already I see how confident, compassionate, forgiving, and intelligent you are.
You are truly a beautiful woman. I know you will help many other men learn the benefits of Matriarchy, Feminism, and FemDom, just as you are helping me. Thank you again, Ms. Black.

It is amazing how much women can teach a man who is willing to acknowledge their superiority and give them the respect, obedience and support they deserve. A man will be rewarded ten times the service he provides to women.
The training you provide for men is outstanding Ms. Black. I admit that my own behavior was often selfish and negative towards women, but I am slowly changing. I can't encourage you enough.
Blanche Black said...
Thanks for the encouragement. Yes, this is the point of this blog exactly; only men who listen to women are worth the effort to have a relationship with for women. Without genuine two-way communication between partners, which machismo and patriarchal culture try to interrupt by glamorizing close-mindedness towards women, there can be no actually relationship or intimacy. However, I have observed that most men enjoy genuine intimacy with women more than the benefits of macho posturing. It is usually just a matter of them having this experience and revelation for them to change their way of interacting with women so that this is possible.
Ms. Black

Hi Ms. Christina, I learned from your insightful comments on Rosin and Matlack. Yes, there seems to be a lot of neediness and passivity among men these days. My own perception in that this comes from the decline of patriarchy. Young men no longer grow up with the public support of male supremacist norms to use as a crutch for their fragile egos. The result is that many of these men shy away from relationships with strong women for fear they will be hurt. Do you think this can change so that men can realize the deep fulfillment that can come from serving and supporting a strong woman? What needs to happen?
your loyal follower,

A well-loved pope passed away one day, and found himself standing outside the Pearly Gates. St. Peter embraced him, and granted him free access to all parts of Heaven.
'Is there anything your Holiness desires?' The saint asked.
'Well, yes actually. I've always wondered, are there any transcripts of actual conversations between prophets and the Father? I would like to have seen what they said.'
Saint Peter immediately ushered the Pope to the heavenly Pentium and explained how to retrieve ancient documents. St. Peter then left, but returned five minutes later when he heard the Pope screeching at the top of his voice. He went in to see what all the noise was about.
There he found the Pope pointing to the screen and screaming: There's an "R" in it! There's an "R" in it! It's... it's... it's celebrate!' | http://afunnyjoke.co.uk/religiousjokes.php?b=533 | robots: classic

} | 148 | At first glance I thought this phone was called the "fluffer," but thankfully I misread—that instrument looks far too sharp to be involved in any fluffin'. Spied on LG's Flickr, the Flutter could solve all of their problems.
Can you remember the last time you got excited about an LG phone? Apart from the Windows 7 handset, which still hasn't been officially confirmed? An innovative, strange design like the Flutter could solve their problems—or, prove to be their Motorola Aura.
Unfortunately, this creative outpouring didn't come from LG's chief designers—instead, it's a winning design from the "Design The Future" competition held each year since 2008. The details are vague, particularly after being put through the Google Translate rinsing-machine, but it sounds like the winning team received $20,000 for their efforts. I notice they didn't see fit to improve on LG's S-Class UI, mind—or is that the iPhone OS?

Update 2:30 p.m.: Robert Rangel, assistant chief of police for TCU, said in an email the shooting was “not a random act.” The persons involved knew each other and were having an argument that escalated. Fort Worth Police do not believe the suspect is still in the immediate area.
Rangel added that no TCU students or people with any known TCU affiliations were involved.
Fort Worth and TCU police are searching for a suspect in a shooting five blocks from campus, but the university is not on lockdown.
TCU police have increased patrols on campus as Fort Worth Police continue their search of the area, Robert Rangel, assistant chief of police for TCU, said.
A public safety announcement from Rangel stated Fort Worth Police responded to a report of a shooting just south of the university at 9:30 this morning. Rangel wrote the suspect was last seen near the Albertson’s grocery store at West Biddison Street and Alton Road.
“The suspect fled the scene on foot,” Rangel wrote. “[He] is described as a black male, approximately 35 years of age, 5’7″-6’1″, salt and pepper facial hair, last observed wearing a black jacket, gray knit hat and blue jeans.”
Anyone who sees the suspect or knows any additional information about the crime is encouraged to call 911 or TCU PD at 817-257-7777.

“The final group of policies, what I call the “submerged state,” is largely invisible because its benefits are channeled through the tax code and subsidies to private organizations. These include the home-mortgage-interest deduction and the exemption from taxes on employer-provided health and retirement benefits. Using “submerged” benefits is nearly as common as using more visible policies.”

} | 591 | What is Pareve?
Understanding This Yiddish Term Referring to Food and Jewish Law

According to Jewish law, there are certain foods that cannot be eaten, as well as some foods that cannot be eaten together. These kosher foods are divided into three categories: meat, dairy and pareve. Pareve (pronounced PAHR-iv) is the Yiddish term that refers to foods that contain no meat or dairy ingredients. (Parve is the Hebrew term and is pronounced PAHR-vuh.) According to the Jewish dietary laws, or laws of kashrut, whereas meat and milk products may not be cooked or eaten together, pareve foods are considered neutral and may be eaten with either meat or dairy dishes.
Foods That are Pareve
Basically, anything that is not dairy or meat--and has not been prepared with dairy or meat--is considered pareve. All fruits, vegetables, pasta, grains, nuts, beans and legumes, as well as vegetable oils are pareve. Also, beverages such as soft drinks, coffee and tea are pareve. Many candies and sweets are pareve as long as they are labeled as such--even if there isn't dairy in the ingredients, the food may have been produced on dairy equipment, so checking labels is important.
Interestingly, though they are animal products, both eggs and fish are considered pareve as well. (Note that in many Jewish Orthodox circles, while fish and meat may be eaten at the same meal, it is not considered permissible to cook fish and meat together, to serve or consume them from the same plate or to eat them during the same course of a meal.)
Pareve products will have the word "pareve" and a letter U on their label.
Alongside the kosher symbol, you may also see a "D" (for dairy) or "D.E." (dairy equipment), as well as those foods that do not specifically note "meat."
With the exception of fish, pareve foods are inherently vegetarian and dairy-free. Therefore, many consumers with dietary restrictions who do not keep kosher for religious reasons may nevertheless seek out kosher pareve-certified products.
Cooking With Pareve Foods
For those who do keep kosher as a matter of religious conviction, pareve recipes make it easier to build menus around meat or dairy dishes. If you keep kosher you do not eat milk and meat products together (so no cheeseburgers, or steak with mashed potatoes that have dairy), and would, therefore, feature pareve foods with your meat dishes or your dairy meals. People who keep kosher have two sets of dishes, utensils and serving pieces--one for meat and one for dairy--so the two types of food never come in contact with each other in any way. Since pareve is neither meat nor dairy, these foods can be cooked, served and eaten on either the meat or dairy set of plates.
There are also required waiting periods between the consumption of meat and dairy foods, so pareve foods such as fruits, vegetables and nuts are useful for snacking between meals.
Replacing Margarine in Recipes
For many decades -- particularly when it was assumed that all animal fats were unhealthy additions to the diet--kosher cooks embraced pareve stick margarine as a substitute for butter or schmaltz (rendered chicken fat). Now, with the understanding that margarine is generally abundant in dangerous trans-fats, many have healthier pareve alternatives to margarine.
For savory recipes, olive oil or neutral oils such as grapeseed or canola are often favored. Baked goods can pose a greater challenge, as solid fats are often essential for achieving the desired texture. Coconut oil and non-hydrogenated solid shortenings made from palm oil are becoming increasingly popular in kosher recipes as pareve alternatives to margarine as well. | https://www.thespruce.com/what-is-pareve-2121604 | robots: classic

All Rise...
Judge Josh Rode's future is so bright, he's gotta wear...never mind.
The Charge
"You're going to your own funeral?"
"You bet!"
Opening Statement
Shown as a mini-series in England under the title Hereafter, Shades took twelve years and the good folk at Acorn Media to cross the pond. Think Dead Like Me meets As Time Goes By, with half the humor of the former and none of the latter's charm.
Facts of the Case
Mark (Stephen Tompkinson, Wild at Heart) and Maeve (Dervla Kirwan, Ballykissangel) are about as opposite as two people can be. He's stoic, she's chatty. He was happily married, she was single and dating a married man. In fact, the only things they have in common are that they died on the same day, and they seem to be the only ghosts around. They wander London together trying to figure out the rules of their new existence. For instance, no one who met them in life can see them. They can speak to strangers, but the strangers forget the meeting as soon as they leave sight. They can't touch anyone without getting a strong shock, nor does anything they write stay permanent.
It's within the context of these limits that they try to invest their deaths with meaning. Maeve wants to find the driver of the red car that ran her over. Mark just wants to ensure that his family is safe and secure, a tenuous bet since he had run his business into the ground just before he died, leaving them broke.
The Evidence
As one would expect from a British drama, the characters and the acting in Shades are very good. Mark is uptight, at times to the point of aggravation. He's dead, no one he knows will see him, no one he meets will remember him, but he mules at the thought of entering a gay bar to help Maeve's brother. Yet he is still able to adapt to strange situations without batting an eyelash. Mark is a prototypical English man, and Tompkinson gives him a slight dry wit that does more to emphasize his straight-laced nature than infuse him with humor. Maeve matches him and then some as an eternal optimist, despite the difficulties life has presented her. It's only with her continual prompting that Mark does anything but follow his family around all day. Kirwan fills her with so much energy and vigor that it's a wonder Maeve doesn't spontaneously come back to life.
That said, Shades is not a tremendously fantastic show. It has all the right ingredients—good premise, solid cast, real characters—but wrestles with a serious identity issue. It's riddled with moments straight from a Hugh Grant-style comedy, such as when Mark gets stuck in a locked room with a hysterical bride-to-be, or the aforementioned gay bar scene. But then it fails to capitalize, preferring to play each situation as straight drama. The drama is, in turn, undermined by the comedic setup, meaning the show's pathos generally runs about as deep as a tidepool. There are exceptions. Mark's longing hunger to hold his children is very touching and, because of the heights of her emotional peaks, Maeve's saddest moments carry a good deal of weight; when she meets someone who might have been the love of her life, had she any left, her pain is palpable. But moments like these come too far apart to balance the flippant overall feel.
Shade's other problem is a lack of story balance. Each episode contains a challenge for Maeve and Mark, such as finding a baby's mother, or helping an old man with a secret, and they do what they can within their limits. Things go awry as their help has unintended consequences, then everything gets straightened out and resolved. In the meantime, Mark broods over his children and Maeve frets about her cheating boyfriend. But the overarching storyline—why are they ghosts, and what can they do about it?—isn't talked about much until the final episode, when the issue is dumped full force in everyone's collective lap. Since there is no continual musing on the subject, the audience never gets a concrete feel for the characters' goals. This makes it difficult to judge where they are in their journey except by counting the number of discs left to watch.
Still, the characters and generally solid writing make for an enjoyable viewing experience. The limitations imposed by the characters' state gives the writers some interesting challenges when it comes to attempting to resolve the problems the characters come across, and there is genuine emotional value in every episode.
Presented in standard definition 1.78:1 anamorphic widescreen, the transfer is clean of grain or defects, offering fairly deep and balanced colors. The Dolby 2.0 stereo is adequate for a show that is mostly talk. There are no extras.
Closing Statement
Shades is somewhat less than the sum of its parts. It's a fine show, and has a reasonably original premise with likeable characters played by good actors. If it had been able to choose between drama and comedy, it might have been truly great.
The Verdict
Not guilty.

I cannot describe how this happened.while I was listening to some QSO,
something inside burnt and suddenly the audio started to sound awkward
(non-readable) accompanied by a long and continuous "pprrrrrtt" sound.
Fortunately with the headphones my receive is normal.
What parts should be replaced? Anyone who can give me a part number and
