DLD 92: The Biggest Boondoggle to Ever Fly

October 1, 2015

Welcome on board the Spruce Goose. Or, as we have been told to call it, the Birch Bitch. Turns out almost 90% of the plane is birch, not spruce. No wonder Howard Hughes found the name derogatory. This week’s episode features a special guest, Luke Fritz, and was recorded in part on the flight deck of the flying boat. Plus, some crazy fun stories about things like Aruba being boring and trying to sleep through an avocado storm. Enjoy!

Roulette Table Layout

Roulette has been the most popular casino games ever sold because it is so an easy task to learn and play. Most gamblers know the basic strategies of how to place a bet and win. This has made it just about the most popular casino games in casinos everywhere. This can be a favorite with many people of most ages and from every walks of life, rendering it a favorite pastime for many of those who elect to visit Las Vegas. There is no doubt that playing roulette is gambling, and like all types of gambling there are particular things you should know before you begin.

roulette table

First, the sort of the roulette table that a person will need is entirely around them. The roulette table that is chosen depends entirely on the preferences of the average person choosing to play. Roulette will come in two types – American and European, both of which are similar, but there are also some differences in the actual game mechanics and layout. For a far more detailed understanding of both American and European roulette table setups let us look at both American and European roulette sets.

Within an American game, the dealer places one white ball in a large red circular tray, called a “clay pigeon” at the center of the table. 카지노 쿠폰 This is known as the” Dealer’s Pocket”. One black ball will undoubtedly be placed in the biggest market of this same area. The colors on the American roulette table layout are simply just the colors on the black ball.

In multi-style roulette games, each player is dealt three hands and each player gets only one chance to make a throw, which can either be a straight or a “clay pigeon” bet. A single-zero wheel can be used and this means that if a ball loses (rolls a single number) it has to be replaced by another ball. A double-zero wheel can be used and is the exact opposite of the American style roulette game. In a two-style game, each player is dealt two hands and each player has two chances to create a throw. The rules because of this type of roulette game will be the same as in a single-zero wheel.

As mentioned above, the wheel can be used to look for the winning numbers. The actual process of choosing the numbers which will win is called the “gamble”. In roulette wheel bets, players must bet money that’s not won within a specified timeframe. The time frame is referred to as the “roll”, and the bets are conducted on pairs of the specific winning numbers.

Following the player has chosen a number, he/she must place a single number that is in the wheel on one side of the wheel. This single number is named the “chop-chop” number. If the chosen number is a winning number, the chip dealer will remove one (1) or all (2) chips from the pot and reveal to the player the number that’s inside the wheel. The chips which were removed are called “matching chips” and the amount of chips that were taken off the pot is referred to as the “matching chip amount”.

The matching chip amounts must all soon add up to exactly the amount of chips that are in the pot. If the chips that are removed from the pot do not add up to the proper level of chips, then either the ball player is required to re-raise the bet (risking another bet) or fold. After the re-raise or fold, a similar thing happens with the second and third numbers in the designated sequence.

The final set of numbers (chop-chops) are the complete bet because they are the highest possible payout. The entire bet would contain forty chips. In a traditional game of Roulette a whole bet would be a straight bet, a wheel bet, or perhaps a three-reel machine. A total bet would be defined as being optimum payout, regardless of whether the other bets in that same frame had been defeated.

Note to self: Bunnies are super cute to watch sprinting across one’s garden, nibbling at rose leaves and foraging amongst the clover.

However. One’s should also make sure one’s garden is not half buried in thick shrubbery that make for excellent hiding places!

ok bunny

Mother Hen was feeling a bit of a fool last night, trying in vain to capture two wiley bunnies with highly attuned escape instincts! My buns ended up sleeping in the garden as we gave up the chase. Both still alive and well this morning, however, and were easily captured. Good thing the fox is on vacation, right?

Thumper headed straight for his store bought food, and Apple to her bowl of store bought lettuce, so I guess captivity may have more to recommend it than was previously thought.

I am only glad my lesson was not learned at the tragic expense of my bunnies’ lives! Black and gray bunnies on dark country lanes are not a good combination, and my nearest streetlight is a half mile away. They would have been goners, for sure.

Bad, bad, bad Momma Hen…

  1. I think I spotted the impostor in the picture but I don’t want to say just in case I’m wrong and you end up with a badly insulted bunny on your hands…or feet…whichever the case may be. Just tell them I think they all look great, and everybody (yourself included) have a great day. : )

Two Words

General/Column 6 Responses

Two words: “Just landed!”

This is the most recent text I’ve received from my twenty-one year old son who is in Europe with friends. Every mother knows the joy that comes with seeing such a text appear on their phone when their college-age child is traveling. Those two words can provide such comfort in knowing your child has arrived at his destination safely.

Or how about “thank you” as you wait to find out if your son received his most recent care package? Those two words let you know he’s likely enjoying the treats you sent and that you can dispose of the tracking slip. “Thank you” is also the text my son sends his grandparents who mail him a bit of spending money each month while he is away at college. These two simple words let them know he appreciates their support.

One of my favorite two word combinations has to be “miss you” which can cause me to beam for nearly a day when they arrive from my son. It’s not so much that I find joy in my son missing me, but that he took time to type those particular two words when guys are so often discouraged from showing their vulnerability.

Here’s another combo I like seeing in text: “really good,” particularly as a response to my question about how his day has gone. It’s not much of a response, but it tells me he is doing well and that I have some good news to look forward to when we finally have the chance to talk.

Texts like “watch this” and “read this” are sent when my son is excited about a recent lecture he’s heard or when he has come across a poem that he just has to share. These two word texts delight me as they give me insight into what my adult child finds interesting, uplifting, or entertaining.

How about “can’t wait” as a response to my question about whether he is looking forward to coming home for a visit? I savor those two words for the entire week before he arrives. Or even two words like “looks awesome” as a response to my sharing a picture with him of something I’ve cooked that I think he would like. A “good idea” text can validate a suggestion I’ve made and allow me to hang on to a remnant of my role as motherly advisor.

If you had asked me three years ago before my son went to college if I would have enjoyed two word texts as much as I do now, I would have rolled my eyes and scoffed. I would have thought that mothers are entitled to far more than simple two-word texts. But something in me has changed.

I appreciate now that as a college student, a volunteer, a part-time employee, a friend, a musician, a fraternity member, and a son, this person I raised is busy and challenged and taking in all that life has to offer. I know that two words afford me a glimpse into those new roles he has taken on. They provide me with an insight into his adult life and those two words, well, they serve as the thread that binds us. Two words can tell me he has taken the time from his schedule to maintain our bond despite his adult status and all that he has to juggle.

What’s my all-time favorite two-word text? It has to be “love you.” I could see those two words a million times over and never tire of them appearing on my phone. Who doesn’t like those two words?

You might think from all this talk about texting that my son and I don’t often talk. You would be right. We don’t get to chat every day. I don’t get to ask him “how was your day?” as he climbs the stairs to his bedroom after school. When I do get to talk to him for more than an hour at a time, our conversations are a potpourri of updates, shared concerns about the world, musings on music, history, art and travel, and reflections on relationships, finances, health and wellness. I have learned over time the difference between these two words: quality and quantity. The quality of our conversations has improved as my son matures and experiences more of the world. The quantity may not be there, but the quality of our conversations makes up for it.

And my two words to those of you who might wince at the incredible brevity of these texts. “It’s enough.” Two words can be enough to reassure us, to enlighten us, and to keep us connected. Advice about those two word texts? Savor them. Save them. Love them.

Lesha Dalton is a logophile, mother, wife, assistant principal, seeker of new definitions, and devoted old-fashioned letter writer. While she is an avid traveler, Lesha still works in the same school district she was born and educated in as a child in San Antonio, Texas.

    I am so taken in by your thoughts and the simplicity of your message. This shows true understanding of your son who lives in a generation of connectedness but not wordiness. You are a Mom who embraces the wonderful man your child has become! Thanks for helping me understand and appreciate my kids too.

    This is such a refreshing piece. It’s nice to read something that looks at the relationship between a parent and children entering adulthood. Sometimes it’s just sweet to have a quick read remind you of the simple things in life.

    Beautiful expression to which I can merely add “Praise God” when they text their latest experience while serving on the Worship Team at Youth Camp! We miss them but release them to fulfill their calling using their God given gifts! Thanks for crying with me when they left and celebrating their growth thru the distance.

    I love the thoughts you have shared here; communicating and connecting through these two-word messages get me through the day with my two adult children as well. Looking forward to the next article!

Yoga versus Pilates | Sally Parkes

Is it a good idea to combine yoga and pilates? Which one is better for you? Yoga and Pilates teacher Sally Parkes explores the differences and the benefits of practicing both.

Yoga Versus Pilates Sally Parkes

As a teacher of both yoga and the Pilates Method, l am often asked “Which is more beneficial, yoga or Pilates?” There is no straight forward answer to this question. It depends on what practitioners want to gain from their practice of course. I have personally found that regular Pilates classes have helped enormously with yoga. Pilates has helped me to improve posture and core strength. It’s also helped me recover well from two pregnancies and births. That is not to say that a regular practice of yoga alone is not effective. I feel an increase in core work and postural awareness may help to propel your practice into new realms.

The development of Pilates

Joseph Pilates devised his exercise system in the early 20th century in an attempt to strengthen his frail body after suffering from rickets and asthma as a child. Pilates taught the system which he later named “Contrology”, to his fellow internees during World War 1 and successfully helped maintain their health during the deadly influenza epidemic in 1918. Following this, Joseph Pilates served as a hospital orderly on the Isle of Man. He worked alongside medical staff with amputee patients, and noticed a remarkable improvement in their strength and overall wellbeing. In 1926 Pilates emigrated to the US, where he opened the first studio in New York. It was very successful and in a short time he developed a client list of, among others, actors and dancers.

Eight limbs, focus and breath

Joseph Pilates believed that in order to achieve happiness, it is essential to gain mastery of your body. The system aims to increase breath awareness. It strengthens and lengthens the muscles, and improves posture and core stability. In the same way that yoga works on eight basic yogic principles, or limbs, so does Pilates. These include concentration, control, breath awareness, precision, integration, tuition, fluidity and centring or core contraction. Apart from other obvious similarities such as the control of the breath and concentration, it is the emphasis on the contraction of the core that mostly unifies these two systems. Both Pilates and yoga practitioners believe that we must gain our control of our breath and core muscles before we can gain the most benefit from our practice.

Exploring the Core

ln some forms of hatha yoga we work strongly with our physical limbs, as though we are drawing energy in towards our centre, or core area, whereas in Pilates we work from our centre and send the energy outwards to our peripheries. This helps to generate heat within the body and strengthen our foundation on which all movement should be built – the core.

On a general level, our core muscles are our transverse abdominus, which is the deepest layer of our abdomen and wraps around our lower torso, acting like a corset; and our pelvic floor, which also acts as a support system. The oblique and lower back muscles are also part of our core and also add to the stabilization of our torso.

Bandhas and energy locks

In yoga, the core is known as the bandhas and in Pilates this area is known as the “powerhouse” or more simply our “centre” . The definition of the word bandha includes: “to bind, catch, shut or close, or to lock”. The latter refers to the locking in of our subtle energy or prana. Research shows that the contraction of the bandhas decreases heart rate, respiration and blood pressure and instils a general sense of relaxation and wellbeing.

There are three bandhas: jalandhara bandha, uddiyana bandha and mula bandha. Jalandhara bandha refers to the compression of the throat. Stretching the back of the neck subtly stimulates the pituitary, pineal glands are subtly affected. The forward flexion compresses and stimulates the thyroid, parathyroid and thymus gland. This gives an overall improvement in the functioning of our nervous system.

Uddiyana bandha has a more obvious link to Pilates in that it refers to the abdominal contraction, and therefore will directly increase our core strength and stability. On a more subtle level, it also compresses the digestive organ, adrenal glands, kidneys and solar plexus. This results in a flow of energy in the abdomen and chest. The use of mula bandha also has a clear link to Pilates as it refers to the pelvic floor contraction and acts as the inner muscular support system for the lower digestive organs. This helps to seal in our prana which uddiyana bandha sends upwards to our subtle energy channels, or nadis, as they are also known.

Subtle energy and physical control

It is clear then that yoga is multi-dimensional as it works to increase our flow of prana very subtly. We can use asanas, breath and bandha as a way to access the subtle energy found within all of us. Pilates, on the other hand, emphasises physical control to gain improved posture and core stability.

Obvious differences

There are other more obvious differences between the two disciplines in that yogis will generally perform each posture once. In Pilates each move is repeated rhythmically resulting in a controlled flow of movement. This makes the two disciplines ideal partners. The risk of injury decreases when we vary our movement patterns. In addition this allows for more effective rest and therefore improved recovery.

Outer stability and inner calm

Joseph Pilates stated that “Physical fitness is the first requisite of happiness”. He believed that if your body is supple and strong, then you can enjoy physical freedom. I believe it can offer us even more than that. Pilates is such a useful tool in which to propel our physical practice of yoga asana. For example, when we no longer feel unsteady in our headstand or revolved triangle, we can move our minds onto the greater task of becoming calm mentally. This leads to both outer and inner freedom, both physically and spiritually.

Sally has been teaching since 1998 and runs teacher training programmes in Hatha, Vinyasa and Pregnancy Yoga. Sally is the author to the Students’ Guide to Yoga Anatomy.

A documentary film crew follows the lives of six New Yorkers as their lives unexpectedly intersect — or at least that's what writer, director, and actor Edward Burns would like you to believe in this comedy-drama that looks at the rocky road of relationships in the Big Apple. After sharing the stories of their earliest sexual experiences with an interviewer, six people are trailed by a cameraman through the course of an average day. Tommy (Edward Burns) is a successful television producer (and unsuccessful novelist) who becomes quickly infatuated when he meets Maria (Rosario Dawson) in a video store. Maria is a teacher at an upscale private school who has just gotten out of a bad marriage with Ben (David Krumholtz), a struggling musician with a day job as a doorman. Ben, on the other hand, finds himself attracted to Ashley (Brittany Murphy) when she waits on his table at a coffee shop. Ashley, as it happens, is involved in an affair with Griffin (Stanley Tucci), a dentist who is chronically unfaithful to his wife Annie (Heather Graham). Annie, a real estate agent, also happens to be friends with Tommy, one of her customers, bringing the circle to a close. Shot in only 16 days, Sidewalks of New York marked a return to (relatively) low-budget filmmaking for Edward Burns, who directed two less-than-successful major studio projects following his breakthrough with the independent feature The Brothers McMullen.

It has been six long weeks since the Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship last thrilled avid audiences at Croft, but the high-octane action will resume next weekend (29/30 July) at Snetterton in Norfolk – with Halfords Yuasa Racing duo Gordon Shedden and Matt Neal ready to continue their title challenge.

Shedden headed into the mid-season break at the top of the points table following an ultra-consistent opening half to the campaign behind the wheel of his Honda Civic Type R. The defending BTCC Champion is looking forward to returning to the circuit where last year, he prevailed in a thrilling, edge-of-the-seat last lap duel for victory with Rob Collard.

Halfords Yuasa Racing team-mate Neal, by contrast, has not always enjoyed the rub of the green over the first five meetings of 2017, but a landmark 60th career triumph at Thruxton, four further rostrum finishes and back-to-back pole positions prove that the most experienced driver on the grid still has plenty of fire in his belly as he – like Shedden – chases a fourth Drivers’ crown.

Gordon Shedden:
“I’m certainly going to Snetterton in a much better position than I did last year, when I was a long way behind in the standings. The flipside to that, obviously, is having to carry maximum ballast and that could mean we are in for a tough couple of meetings over the next few weeks, but as I always say, I’ll take the points in the bag any day. Qualifying and race one at Snetterton are likely to be difficult with the weight so it will probably be a question of playing the long game again, but the Civic Type R was quick there last year and Matt reported positive feedback from the tyre test earlier this month too, which is encouraging. The BTCC is so unpredictable and there are a lot of fast cars out there, and we all know how quickly things can change in this championship. We just need to focus on our own job and make the best of every single opportunity – anything else, we can’t worry about.”

Matt Neal:
“I love the summer break, but it’s always great to go racing again. It’s been enjoyable to have a bit of time off – I went to the British Grand Prix, followed Wimbledon and the Tour de France, caught up with people and even managed to squeeze in a bit of R&R – so I’m feeling refreshed and ready to get back on it now. There’s a lot still to fight for and with what we’ve seen over the opening five events, as many as ten drivers can realistically win the title. I think I’m driving pretty well, but results escaped me a bit during the first half of the season so most of all, I’m hoping for a change of luck over the second half. I think there’s no question that ‘Flash’ and I have the car to do the job – the Civic Type R has been really strong everywhere we’ve been and is a tough act to beat – but with success ballast and other championship regulations that impact upon performance, you just never know how it’s going to go so we’ll see how we get on.”

By 9th August 2015NEWS

The sixth annual Croft Nostalgia Festival revved into life this weekend (8-9 August) with a heady high-octane blend of classic cars, retro racing, militaria, breathtaking aerobatics and its unique retro atmosphere invoking the 40s, 50s and 60s through to the 1970s.

Entering its sixth year in 2015, the BARC and HSCC-run Croft Nostalgia Festival is firmly established as one of the highlights on the sporting and social calendar in the north-east. Blessed with summer sunshine and building on past successes, this year’s event was by far the biggest and best yet, with visitors savouring some spectacular retro racing on the track as well as a feast of evocative displays from bygone eras.

The British Army brought a significant diorama to showcase the tools at their disposal in the current day and age, while independent exhibitors displayed impeccably kept and restored military hardware with rows of combat-spec Jeeps and Land Rovers, to name but a few, flanking the paddock out by the airfield.  An American Sherman tank joined up with other heavy armour on display in a lunchtime manoeuvres display out in the middle of the circuit on Sunday.

Clive Butler, long-time aerobatic specialist, arrived on the circuit’s adjacent airstrip on Saturday before thrilling crowds an hour later with a spellbinding feat of aerobatics in a specialist Cessna – one of only three examples in the country.

Another equally exhilarating display took place on Sunday from a Russian Yak-52, serving as a generous appetiser for the appearance of the mighty Avro Vulcan bomber XH558.

With Falklands veteran Martin Withers at the controls of the only example of this remarkable aircraft still flying today, crowds were treated to slow speed manoeuvres scarcely believable for a plane of its size. As the ’60s bomber made its exit, Withers cranked up the power and unleashed the famous Vulcan howl, a unique thunder that sadly won’t be heard for much longer as it blasts towards the end of its farewell tour with its enforced retirement sadly due at the end of this summer season.

Of course, the weekend’s racing on-track was the closely competed thrill-fest that many have come to expect from HSCC events and especially the Croft Nostalgia Festival.

Out on the circuit the agile Lotus Seven S4 of John Pringle, an invitational entry into this event, was the weekend’s first winner in Historic Road Sports / ‘70s Road Sports for road-legal cars, comfortably fending off the hard-charging Lotus Europa of Jim Dean, who took the class win.

The latter broke free of the pack early on to collect the runner-up laurels leaving the rest of the series’ entries 13 seconds down the road. Charles Barter picked up third in his super baby-blue Datsun 240Z, while Julian Barter, Charles’ son, was right up with Pringle’s Lotus until he pulled off the track as a precaution, mistaking a fuel light for an oil light on the dashboard.

Pringle took victory in race two the following day – this time ahead of Barter Jnr – who had jumped from the back of the grid, with Barter Snr completing the podium.

Then came the first of the classic open-wheelers with the Historic Formula 3. These spritely machines were not far off the design and construction of Formula 1 machines of their time, and certainly looked the part. David Methley, a surprise entry in his own orange Merlyn took the chequered flag first, even after a penultimate-lap spin made a game of it. Peter Thompson in his Brabham couldn’t quite make Methley pay for his mistake.

Similarities to motor sport’s flagship series were clear to see once more as the Formula Juniors took to the track. Jonathan Hughes’ Brabham BT6 finished well ahead of the pack after getting the better of the opening-lap squabble. His fastest tour was an astonishing four seconds ahead of the nearest competition. Sunday’s return race saw Hughes slip to second, 25 seconds behind winner James Murray.

British Formula Ford entries from the ’60s and ’70s strutted their stuff in the Historic Formula Ford Championship, producing some thrilling racing with slicing and dicing in a close pack. The top-two were separated by just a second and the top five by under eight, as Rob Wainwright got the better of Callum Grant to win after four changes of lead between the first four cars early on in the race.

The corresponding race on Sunday afternoon was brought to a halt on lap seven after a coming together at Clervaux. James Buckton was called as winner.

Warren Briggs, in combination with his stunning red Mustang, proved too much for the chasing pack to handle as chaos ensued behind between Hillman Imps, Minis and Lotus Cortinas in the Historic Touring Car Championship. On Sunday though, the Cortina of Tim Davies took an impressive victory after battling throughout the whole race – never were the pair more than a second apart until Briggs missed a gear with a lap to go exiting the hairpin, allowing the Cortina to sneak through.

Mid-way through a glorious Saturday afternoon came the turn of the Formula Ford 2000s after qualifying narrowed down a burgeoning 27-car entry. It was very much a battle between the top two as Andrew Park and Nelson Rowe traded blows, though the former eventually pulled out to keep Rowe at arm’s length.

Park doubled up on Sunday, this time just three-tenths ahead of Tom Smith’s Royale after a cracking 14 laps where Benjamin Tusting and Callum Grant in third also finished within the width of a cigarette paper of each other – crossing the line a tenth apart.

In the Classic Clubmans Championship John Harrison romped home a minute-and-a-half ahead of the pack in his Mallock Mk21, which offered a slight power advantage over the rest of the field. Harrison took race two for the series in similarly comfortable fashion.

A smaller pack of racers followed, with just five taking to the grid for the oddball 500cc Formula 3s competition. The ’40s and ’50s cars were excellent to watch, however, with Peter de la Roche and John Turner finishing as they’d qualified in one and two, a good 30 seconds clear of third.

Sunday’s Historic Sports 2000 pack was also a smaller one, with seven competing. Peter Needham in his Tiga took the lights-to-flag victory.

The Historic Road Sports rounded off Saturday’s racing with a closely-fought contest between two Lotus Elans – Peter Shaw getting the better of John Davison to win. Kevin Kivlochan took the win on Sunday after a battle throughout with Davison, who slipped a gear allowing Kivlochan’s Morgan through.

Circuit Manager, Mike Cantelo hailed the weekend as an unbounded success, and said: “This was by far the biggest and best Croft Nostalgia Festival that we’ve ever put together. What a fantastic weekend and the flypast of the Avro Vulcan was just the icing on the cake.”

Topisms and induced non-associative systems

Kenneth Paul Baclawski and Kenneth Kapp

Vol. 36 (1971), No. 1, 45–54

A triple of bijections (γ;α,β) from one binary system onto another is called an isotopism if the maps transfer the multiplication: (xy)γ = xαyβ. These maps have been used by Albert, Bruck and others in the study of quasigroups and loops. A natural generalization of isotopism is given to a triple of maps called a topism, which transfers just the multiplication, as above, from one binary system into another. It will be shown, (1.7), that a topism from one quasigroup into another is an isotopism if and only if any one of the maps is one-to-one and onto.

Two maps, α,β on a binary system (A,) induce a new binary operation, , defined in the natural fashion x y = xαyβ. The relationship between topic imbeddings and induced systems is studied in §2. It is shown, (2.3), that one groupoid is topically imbeddable in another precisely when it is isomorphic to a subgroupoid of an induced groupoid of the second. Thus, (2.7), two quasigroups are isotopic if and only if one is isomorphic to an induced groupoid of the other.

Finally, the imbeddings of nonassociative binary systems into semigroups and groups are considered. It is shown, (3.1) and (3.2), that groupoids can be imbedded as ideals in semigroups. However, it is seen (3.4) that a groupoid with identity is topically imbeddable in a group precisely when the groupoid is isomorphic to a subsemigroup, with identity, of the given group. From this a generalization, (3.6), of Albert’s Theorem that a loop is isotopic to a group if and only if they are isomorphic is obtained.

A Forgotten Marketing Tool – The Postcard

Pubic uncomfortable is now a a couple of concern each men and ladies. For hygiene reasons alone many individuals choose eradicate unwanted hair in loud office spaces area, hence, the search for the best pubic unpleasant method.

One of the largest pitfalls when working from their home is the fact that life can enroach your activities – simply since you ARE residence. Try to separate 2 and have fixed when you work, and a fixed area find a quote. Work doesn’t need to use over your life, but neither an individual let life interfere with your work.

Don’t be fooled thinking telling fibs will impress that someone special enough to get relationship started. it will turn them apart! Be 홈타이 .

Fairness and ethical behavior goes each way. Due for the fact that online e-books and downloadable software are easy to copy and “keep” while also obtaining a refund, the purchaser kind of has a romantic “burden of honor” as well. I have asked for refunds whenever a product was totally misrepresented and poorly done. In a single instance the recording and audio courses were sold getting “convenient and viewable anytime and anyplace”. Turns out it would be a convenience for the marketer because you had prefer to only them from his site, and you guessed it, the site was very, very S-L-O-W. If I order something costly and you sell me like that, I to help download and OWN this method.

Opt on your more expensive good quality razor rather than a cheap throw away which a lot likely to result in nicks, soreness and razor burns in this sensitive neighborhood.

Walking in integrity means our thoughts; actions and feelings typical aligned, all in accordance all congruent (in agreement). Actively and consciously inhibiting and holding back our thoughts and feelings takes work And can lead to stress, ultimately affecting our immune system often putting us at stake for minor and major diseases.

To start, just send a Flirt or a useful review email message saying Hi–and do issues! You might be surprised how many of our great members complications lack of attention using their online competitors. Not only might you find someone with whom you’re very interested in maintaining contact, but you’ll apt to be making someone’s day.

One more thing–please don’t ignore Incheon Business Trip Massage females. A quick “thanks, but no thanks” note might be so much better than no reply at each. In fact, next time you’re replying to a message on the site, browse new “Thanks but No Thanks” template. It’s a quick way to nicely let someone know you are interested in corresponding.

Avoid showering and since it is hair wet prior to waxing. Hair absorbs the making it soft and fewer likely to stick well on the wax. Tough hair is very simple to pull off.

Don’t hesitate to request a refund if you truly feel the product was misrepresented. Educate that marketer about what you feel was wrong. When don’t improve, they need to give each of their money back. Just don’t be one of those awful people who buys costly product KNOWING they most likely ask with a refund. That is why same as stealing and it unethical. Once we want the benefit and gratification of having the ability to immediately download what we’ve got purchased to continue, cannot bleed the internet merchants arid.

This minimizer writing is going well, following a good rest.

Okay so the mimized class for the ByteDeque class is 25K which is pretty big. Seems most of it is taken up by the code table. I could probably write the native code a bit more compact. I use shorts for everything but I could invent a 1 or 2 byte format. Since these values are unsigned, if the highest bit is set then read another byte. This would reduce the memory requirements because a single class taking up 25K is quite a bunch!

Okay so before and after the constant pool shortening:

So I did not reduce the space much.

Making the hashCode in STRING just be 16-bits gives me:

So I think all the space is being taken up by the minimized instructions because there are a ton of 16-bit values.

I think I need to step away from the minimizer a bit and write a javap utility. This will be something that will integrate with the class format code along with the minimizer code. Definitely it should be made to help me debug the minimized format.

The good thing about suites is that I do not need the vendor and suite name, so I can use my idea to just keep them as hashcodes and such.

In the Boot RAM I am going to make everything actual chunks so it could be freed more easily.

This looks a bit strange, but:

My initial RAM value seems to be seeded with its own address? Maybe the boot RAM loader is wrong or the boot RAM writer?

Okay so the first initializer is that 0x00000004 should not be 4 but it should be the address of the next block. So perhaps the block links are incorrect?

So I also have in the initializer writing 0 (8) + 248 => 248. So 248 should be written to 0x00000004. So a byte is written then the address. And it is read back in the correct order.

Okay so I have confirmed that 248 is written to the first two addresses.

Actually scrolling by I see (m=null, a=00000000, v=8) so somewhere in the bootstrap there is a bad write that is not writing in the correct offset position, so it ends up being replaced.

Definitely saw an error in the static field initializers, it just used the static RAM offset. The values 4 and 8 being written makes sense because those are the values for the offset static fields.

Now the RAM links run longer, so I think it is working.

So I need like actual method indexes and offsets, along with initializing the vtable for classes. So do wonder how I will do this... I could either do it in the initializers at static bootram time (faster) or at VM time. But I think it will be easier to do it at bootram time.

Okay, I do not believe I need an actual vtable for SPECIAL and VIRTUAL invokes. Okay so, here is my logic. Any virtual call will always call the highest virtually replaced method in a class. Now SPECIAL works on constructors and super-classes which are not virtually replaced at all for the most part. So virtual works on the class type of the instance, while special operates on the class type that was specified. It uses the same virtual lookup. It uses the same virtual lookup as normal stuff but it ends at that class instance. Of course this is not the case because. We just want to work on the virtual table of the super class. The only difference being the constructors and such which have slightly different logic. Okay so I got it, maybe. If the class we are targetting is the same... actually forget that. If we are calling an instance initialization method we want to call the exact one. But I am pretty sure I can get away with using the special stuff using only a single table.

Not sure how I want to do vtable initialization. It is a bit complicated! As there are package bounds for package-private and no bounds for private methods. But this is literally the last thing to do.

Okay so I need to load the pool for the target method and that has to be done in the instance code. So the vtable also needs to contain the pointer to the constant pool of the class. So I guess I will need to multiply by two and then add one just to get the pool data. That is really the only way I can think of to get both things at once. However, it could just be in another array and I think that is the simplest really. Once I know the class to load the vtable from I can load the constant pool array as well.
