It's time to look at the implementation of the core ibs. Let's examine the build_system_generator.py script that contains most of the object model, the DependencyAnalyzer.py module that contains the dependency analyzer, and the various project templates.
Let's start with the main function. Its job is to parse command-line arguments and hand them over to the generate_build_files() function. There is currently only one command-line argument -- root_dir. The root_dir is the directory that contains ibs and the source tree. It defaults to the parent directory, which works if you run it from the ibs directory (where the script is located). In addition, the save_projects argument is passed. If it's True, the generated build files are saved. If it's False, the build files are generated but not saved, which is useful during development and debugging.
def main(argv): """Parse command-line arguments and call generate_build_files() """ import getopt optionSpec = ['root_dir='] save_project_files = True root_dir = os.path.join(script_dir, '..') try: opts, args = getopt.gnu_getopt(argv, '', optionSpec) except Exception, e: print "Error parsing command line: %s" % e usage() if len(args) > 0: usage() for (option, val) in opts: if option == '--root_dir': root_dir = val # Convenience. Allows use of "~" in pathnames and other things. root_dir = os.path.abspath(os.path.normpath(os.path.expanduser(root_dir))) generate_build_files(root_dir, save_project_files) if __name__=='__main__': main(sys.argv[1:])
The generate_build_files() function calls its nested get_platform() function to figure out what platform it is running on (using the Python "platform" standard library module). Based on the platform, it decides what build system to target (Visual C++ 2008 or NetBeans 6). In your build system you may want to employ different logic to determine the target build system or pass it from the outside as a command-line argument.
After the target build system has been determined, the appropriate helper module is instantiated. All the helper modules reside in the 'helpers' subdirectory and are named <build system>_helper.py. For example, the Visual C++ 2008 helper is "ibs/helpers/VC_2008_helper.py". Future articles will take a closer look at these helper modules and drill into specific build systems. This article stays at the generic build-system level.
The proper helper is imported dynamically via the __import__ statement. This is a useful Pythonic technique to implement plug-ins. Note that additional target build systems can be easily added by moving the build system selection code outside and by simply adding more helper modules for the new build systems.
The next step is to select the project template's directory. The project templates for each build system reside in a sub-dir of 'project_templates' and are named after the build system. For example, the NetBeans 6 templates dir is: "ibs/project_templates/NetBeans_6".
A helper module is instantiated using an unusual syntax:
helper = getattr(helper_module, 'Helper')(templates_dir)
The getattr() call gets the Helper attribute from the current helper module. Every helper module contains a class called Helper that implements the helper interface. Then, the retrieved Helper class, which also doubles as a factory function/constructor, is invoked with the templates dir as an argument, resulting in an instantiated Helper object.
The helper is used to create a Generator object g. Several generator methods are now invoked in a sequence: generate_projects(), save_projects(), and generate_workspace_files().
def generate_build_files(root_dir, save_project_files): def get_platform(): arch = platform.architecture()[0][:2] operating_system = platform.system().lower() processor = platform.processor() if operating_system == 'darwin' and arch == '32' and processor == 'i386': return 'darwin86' elif operating_system == 'linux': return 'linux' + arch elif operating_system == 'windows': return 'win' + arch else: raise Exception('Unsupported platform: ' + platform.platform()) title() # Dynamically import the build system specific helper module p = get_platform() build_system = 'VC_2008' if p.startswith('win') else 'NetBeans_6' helper_name = build_system + '_helper' sys_path = sys.path[:] sys.path.insert(0, os.path.join(script_dir, 'helpers')) helper_module = __import__(helper_name) templates_dir = os.path.join(script_dir, 'project_templates', build_system) # Instantiate the Helper class helper = getattr(helper_module, 'Helper')(templates_dir) g = Generator(root_dir, p, helper) g.generate_projects() g.save_projects(save_project_files) g.generate_workspace_files()
Let's examine the Generator class. The constructor stores the root_dir, the platform, and the helper module. The helper module is used to execute all the steps that require specific build-system knowledge. This is sort of a Strategy pattern, if you will. The final line calls the internal _populate_project_list() method.
def __init__(self, root_dir, platform, helper): self.root_dir = root_dir self.libs_dir = os.path.join(root_dir, 'src/hw') self.platform = platform self.helper = helper self.ignore = helper.get_ignore_string() self.projects = {} self._populate_project_list()
The _populate_project_list() method gets the template objects for various project types from the helper (this is build-system-specific) and create a mapping between each top-level directory (hw, dlls, apps, and test) and its template object.
Then it starts drilling down the source tree starting from each top-level dir (aka parent dir) using the os.walk() function. It ignores .svn directories and sub-dirs that contain the special helper.skip_dir string. For each found sub-dir, a Project object is created and added to the project's list. This process demonstrates the flexibility of the build system generator. You can freely add new projects as long as they belong to one of the known project types and reside under the proper parent dir.
def _populate_project_list(self): """Populate the list of projects to be generated """ title() # Map project parent directories to templates static_lib_template = self.helper.get_templates('static_lib') dynamic_lib_template = self.helper.get_templates('dynamic_lib') program_template = self.helper.get_templates('program') mapping = dict(hw=static_lib_template, dlls=dynamic_lib_template, apps=program_template, test=program_template) skip_dir = self.helper.skip_dir for parent_dir, templates in mapping.items(): title(parent_dir) for project_dir, s, files in os.walk(os.path.join(source_dir, parent_dir)): # Treat only sub-directories directly under the parent dir # as projects (except .svn or skip_dir) if '.svn' in project_dir or \ (skip_dir and skip_dir in project_dir) or \ os.path.basename(os.path.dirname(project_dir)) != parent_dir: continue assert not project_dir in self.projects #print project_dir project = Project(project_dir) project.generated = False project.templates = copy.deepcopy(templates) self.projects[project.path] = project
Now let's take a look at the Project class -- a simple container to hold the project information. The most exciting thing it does is call the DependencyAnalyzer to get its dependencies and sort them.
class Project(object): """The project class stores all build information of a single project A project has a name, a directory, a list of project templates and dependencies (other projects) that must be built before the project itself. """ def __init__(self, path): self.path = path self.name = os.path.basename(path) self.templates = {} dependencies = \ DependencyAnalyzer.get_project_dependencies(path, 'hw', [source_dir]) self.dependencies = sorted(dependencies)
What's next? Generating the build files for all the projects. This is done by the Generator's generate_project(), which iterates over all the projects and builds them one after the other by calling _generate_project():
def generate_projects(self): title() for p in self.projects.values(): self._generate_project(p)
But what about the dependency graph? The projects are built in the order they were inserted into the list. In fact, the _generate_project() method is a pretty smart cookie and it builds all its dependencies before embarking on building the project it was asked to build. This method does the heavy lifting, so I'll review it piece by piece. First, it determines if the project was already generated. project.generated is a Boolean attribute initialized to False; when _generate_project() is called for the first time on a project, it is set to True. The check ensures that a given project will only be generated once. This is necessary because any given project may be a dependency of multiple projects.
def _generate_project(self, project): title(additional=os.path.basename(project.path)) if project.generated: return project.generated = True
In the next stage, all the source and header files associated with a project are collected. This process is build-system-specific, so the helper is invoked to perform it. If the project has no source files or header files, there is nothing to do and it bails out. Then the path separators (either \ or /) are replaced with the helper's separator character.
# Collect source and header files project.header_files, project.source_files = self.helper.collect_files(project.path) # Bail out on projects with no source and/or header files if project.header_files == [] and project.source_files == []: return # Make sure the paths are correct project.source_files = self._fix_path_separators(project.source_files) project.header_files = self._fix_path_separators(project.header_files)
The next stage ensures all the dependencies have been generated and iterates over them. If a dependency project hasn't been generated yet, the _generate_project() method is invoked recursively to generate it. The code doesn't detect circular dependencies at the moment, but it will not get stuck in an infinite loop because of the "generated" check. This is more an issue of code hygiene and might point to other bugs.
# Make sure all the dependencies are in the project list for d in project.dependencies: assert d in self.projects dependencies = [self.projects[d] for d in project.dependencies] # Make sure all dependencies have been generated # This is recursive. It terminates as long as we have no circular # dependencies # @todo detect circular dependency for dep in dependencies: if dep.generated: continue self._generate_project(dep)
Finally, the project itself is generated. This means iterating over the project templates (there may be multiple build files per project, each with its own template), asking the helper to prepare a substitution dictionary based on various project parameters, its source and header files, and its dependencies list, and then applying the substitution dictionary to the template. The end result is that each template object now contains a textual build file.
# Generate the project build files by creating a substitution dict # and applying it to each template file h = self.helper for t in project.templates: #print t.relative_path d = h.prepare_substitution_dict(project.name, t.template_type, t.template_file, project.path, self.libs_dir, dependencies, project.source_files, project.header_files, self.platform) d['Name'] = project.name d['name'] = project.name.lower() d['Platform'] = self.platform t.substitution_dict = d t.apply()
The ultimate goal of the project generation is to apply the substitution dictionary with all its values to the template object. Let's see how it works using the Template class. The __init__() method stores all the information, reads its template file, and stores it as a string. The apply() method uses Python's string.Template object to actually perform the substitution. We will examine what a template file looks like in the next installment.
class Template(object): """The template class has a template file and a substitution dict Applying the substitution dict to template file results in a final build file """ def __init__(self, template_file, relative_path, template_type): """ @param template_file - absolute filename of the template file @param relative_path - relative path of this build file from the project dir @param template_type - static_lib, dynamic_lib or program """ self.template_file = template_file self.relative_path = relative_path self.template_type = template_type self.template_text = open(template_file).read() self.substitution_dict = {} self.build_file = '' def apply(self): # Generate A build file from a template file # (using PEP-292 string.Template substitution) # convert the template_text to string in case its unicode # (VisualStudio .vcproj files) t = string.Template(str(self.template_text)) self.build_file = t.substitute(self.substitution_dict)</code>
All the projects have been generated and the template objects contain all the generated build files. It's time to save the files via the Generator's save_projects() method. The method iterates over all the projects and within each project, it iterates over all the templates. It compares the generated build file against the exiting build file (if one exists), and if it's different and the save argument is True, it writes the new/modified build file.
def save_projects(self, save): title() for p in self.projects.values(): # Save build file only if modified for t in p.templates: modified = False filename = os.path.join(p.path, t.relative_path) if '%s' in filename: filename = filename % p.name if os.path.exists(filename): text = open(filename).read() else: text = None modified = True if text is not None: if t.build_file != text: modified = True # Save build file file if necessary and different if modified and save: parent_dir = os.path.dirname(filename) if not os.path.exists(parent_dir): os.makedirs(parent_dir) open(filename, 'w').write(t.build_file)
If save is False and the build file was modified, the method goes into debugging mode and compares the existing build file against the generated file line by line and prints the results. This functionality is a lifesaver when developing generation code for a new build system. You will see it in action when I discuss the specific build systems in future articles.
# Check generated file if modified and not save: dirname, basename = os.path.split(filename) gen_filename = os.path.join(dirname, 'gen.' + basename) open(gen_filename, 'w').write(t.build_file) real_lines = open(filename).readlines() gen_lines = open(gen_filename).readlines() if real_lines != gen_lines: assert len(real_lines) == len(gen_lines) for i in range(min(len(real_lines), len(gen_lines))): if real_lines[i] != gen_lines[i]: print i print "'%s'" % real_lines[i] print "'%s'" % gen_lines[i] print if sorted(real_lines) != sorted (gen_lines): print filename print assert False
Last but not least is generation of the workspace files. A workspace is just a collection of projects. It's called a Solution in Visual Studio and project group. It may or may not be trivial depending on the particular build system. The helper is doing all the work here.
def generate_workspace_files(self): title() self.helper.generate_workspace_files('hello_world', source_dir, self.projects)
As you can see, the generic build system has a lot of logic that can be used to generate build files for any build system. The specific work for each build system is nicely encapsulated in the helper modules.

Space Shuttle Endeavour launch set for 16 May
NASA managers have set the liftoff of Space Shuttle Endeavour for 16 May at 14:56 CEST (12:56 GMT). The date was announced at a news briefing on Monday at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
On Friday, NASA managers extended the length of the STS-134 mission to the International Space Station from 14 days to 16 days.
Engineers at the Kennedy Space Center are continuing work to resolve the problem with a heater circuit in Endeavour's hydraulic system that resulted in the launch postponement from 29 April.
They determined the failure was inside an 'aft load control assembly' – is a switchbox in the Shuttle's aft compartment – and possibly its associated electrical wiring.
Although the root cause of the failure in the switchbox has not been found, technicians are replacing hardware that could have caused the problem. The faulty box was replaced last Wednesday, and a test of nine Shuttle systems powered by the new box is under way.
The Shuttle has three Auxiliary Power Units (APUs) that provide hydraulic power to steer the vehicle during ascent and entry. The fuel lines on each APU have two heater circuits that prevent the hydrazine from freezing while the Shuttle is in space.
NASA rules require all APUs and heater circuits to be operational for launch. On Endeavour's first launch attempt, one of the two heaters for APU-1's fuel line did not work. Engineers confirmed the circuit in the original switchbox that directed power to the heaters had shorted out.
Managers reviewed the STS-134 mission timeline and determined that the Shuttle crew can accomplish all of their objectives even with the departure of three Station astronauts.
According to current plan, ESA astronaut Paolo Nespoli and two colleagues will return to Earth on 23 May aboard their Soyuz spacecraft, while Endeavour is still docked to the Station.

Everyone (in the UK at least) must know of Neon, the seven-year-old boy who has a brain tumour, medulloblastoma, and of Neon's mother, Sally Roberts, who is fighting for her son not to have radiotherapy and chemotherapy because of the danger, she says, of adverse side effects which could damage his brain and destroy his quality of life.
The Daily Mail, today, put it this way:
Cancer boy Neon WILL have radiotherapy against his mother's wishes after High Court ruling.
- Mr Justice Bodey said he was worried Sally Roberts judgement had 'gone awry'
- Mrs Roberts had tried to claim her son should have alternative treatment to radiotherapy
- Experts brand her alternatives 'completely unethical'
- She conceded that her argument is 'weak' under questioning
I don't intend to take sides on this issue (although you can probably guess which side I might be on). But if you are wondering if Mrs Roberts has a case, here is the abstract from a 2003 study about the long-term effects on survivors of exactly the treatment a judge has decided her son must have:
Macedoni-Luksic M, Jereb B, Todorovski L. Long-term sequelae in children treated for brain tumors: impairments, disability, and handicap. Pediatr Hematol Oncol. 2003; 20: 89-101.
Sixty-one long-term survivors, treated for brain tumors in childhood, were evaluated in term of neurological impairments, disability, and handicap.
Thirty-eight patients (pts) (62%) had at least one impairment.
Visual impairment was detected in 14 pts (24%), associated with recurrence (p = .012).
34r pts (56%) had motor impairment, associated with sex (female) in irradiated patients;
13 (21%) had epilepsy, associated with supratentorial tumor site (p = .001).
The same number of patients had brain atrophy; risk factors were hydrocephalus at diagnosis and perioperative complications.
16 pts (30%) had IQ score < 80, associated with young age at first treatment (p = .006) and recurrence (p = .043).
27 out of 61 of our patients (44%) were disabled: 12 mildly, 14 moderately, and 1 severely.
Epilepsy was the most important risk factor for disability.
Cognitive impairment, motor impairment, and epilepsy were associated with employment (43%);
Cognitive impairment was also associated with education.
So is Mrs Roberts right to be worried about her son's having conventional treatment? Has her judgement 'gone awry'? You decide.

Making that possible is Mircohinge Insert Technology. The new insert has two unique components that have been molded together for optimal performance and feel. First, the hinges on the Microhinge plate flex and rebound at impact to create topspin and get the ball rolling more quickly. Second, a Thermoplastic Elastomer Inner Layer provides the soft feel that Odyssey putters have been known for through the years. O-Works putters also feature new and improved Versa Alignment Technology, which helps players set up and align properly, while several tour-proven shapes give players the options they need to fit their eye and their stroke. The Odyssey Red Jailbird putter is a mallet design with a signature Odyssey shape, and its red finish was inspired by feedback from Tour professionals.

In 1987, Paul Verhoeven's futuristic crime thriller "RoboCop" made its mark with equal parts over-the-top violence and cynical, prescient satire. Now director Jose Padilha's remake has updated the cybernetic cop's story with references to the hot-button issue of drone warfare and the director's own spin on the de rigueur gunfire and pyrotechnics (this time with a PG-13 rating instead of R). According to most film critics, however, the new "RoboCop" can't match the visceral impact of the original.
The Times' Betsy Sharkey writes, "In the 27 years since 'RoboCop' first rocked the movie world, much has happened and apparently the filmmakers behind this year's remake didn't get the memo. A straight-up old-school bot-man morph isn't quite so spectacular with 'Transformers,' 'Terminators,' 'Avatar' and all-things Xbox over-populating the action landscape."
The new "Robocop," Sharkey adds, "isn't going for the biting satire of Paul Verhoeven's 1987 original, or its extreme violence. The sci-fi side hasn't evolved much. And the thrill? Well, most of the thrill is gone." That said, the reboot does have some things going for it, Sharkey says, including solid performances by leading man Joel Kinnaman and supporting players Michael Keaton, Gary Oldman and Abbie Cornish.
USA Today's Claudia Puig bemoans the new film's "bland story, murky cinematography and frenetic special effects," adding, "The 1987 original was a smart satire of American culture. Though this 'Robo' reboot resonates to some degree with its depiction of military drone strikes, the film sidesteps deeper questions about the intersection of technology, law enforcement and politics." The film opens promisingly, Puig says, "But too soon, any sense of fun gives way to mind-numbing explosions."
In a more positive review, Manohla Dargis of the New York Times calls the film "a nicely cast, respectable remake," one that "also mixes in tears with the bullets." Of Brazilian director Padilha, Dargis writes, "he handles the smaller-scale action scenes in 'RoboCop' competently, if unremarkably, and the closer he gets to the actors, the better." The larger-scale scenes, however, are "bludgeoning" and "enervating."
The Boston Globe's Ty Burr says that although the original film "was plenty ahead of its time," the remake "is content to just be of its time." For the most part, it's "rehashed business as usual: An acceptable, muscle-bound B-movie whose handful of fresh plot twists are drowned out by gunfire and dull action choreography. It has a great supporting cast, a flavorless lead actor, and some notions about free will that aren't nearly as original or well-developed as screenwriter Joshua Zetumer thinks. But the film doesn't embarrass itself or dishonor its predecessor."
Ann Hornaday of the Washington Post writes, "the 'RoboCop' of today manages to meet expectations without exceeding them." The film follows "the most recognizable contours" of the original while "dispensing with the most hard-edged violence and gore." Kinnaman plays his role "with convincing melancholy and conviction," and the supporting cast "conveys both the gravitas and parodic humor that intertwine through 'RoboCop's' singular DNA."
But, she says, "For all its playfulness, the new 'RoboCop' can't help but lack the novelty of the original's jolting mixture of dumb-smart irony and visceral pulp."
The new "RoboCop" does have its supporters, though, including the San Francisco Chronicle's Mick LaSalle, who offers a rave. He writes, "'RoboCop' is no canned remake of the 1987 action film. It's a reimagining that responds to everything that has changed in American life over the past 27 years, addressing new threats and exploiting new anxieties. It's not a somber movie, but it's dead serious in its intent, using fantasy to present audiences with a cautionary glimpse of where modern life may be heading."

The odds of finding mention of your ancestor in a printed biography are better than you might imagine. Many small towns printed centennial books or booklets, which often mentioned early settlers in the region. It is also common to find a county history chock-full of biographies. That's the good news.
The bad news is many of these books are not indexed; those that are may not be accurate. However, the time you spend leafing through a county history isn't lost time—you'll learn a lot about what life was like for your family.
I've found anything from tidbits to full-blown biographies of my ancestors in county and town histories—I bet you can too. A word of caution though: Don't believe everything you read. The biography of one of my Civil War ancestors tells about his illustrious service with a Union regiment formed in Tennessee. It fails to mention (not a surprise) that he belonged to a Illinois regiment early in the war and had deserted.
A favorite source for finding county biographies is my local Family History Center. A second is an online site that has catalogued inventory from hundreds of used bookstores: the Advanced Book Exchange at www.abebooks.com. If you use this source, just type in the name of the town or county as a keyword and see what comes up.
For example, I typed in Shelby County, Ind. Four books came up in the results list. One was a person's biography, one an atlas, one a plat book and the last was a county history from 1822 to 1876. The history cost $150—more than I want to pay. But because I know it exists, I have the option of trying to find it locally, or getting online to a Shelby County mailing list (to find county mailing lists go to RootsWeb.com and click on the link to mailing lists) and ask if someone will go to the local library to do a look-up for me. I could also call the Shelby County Historical Society and ask for help.
What other sources are there for tracking down biographies?

This is not a speech you typically see a politician give.
During a session of parliament, Australian PM Julia Gillard gave a stern drubbing to Tony Abbott of the opposition party, calling him a hypocrite and a misogynist for various comments he has made throughout his career.
The whole thing seems to have been prompted by Abbott's comments about a scandal involving the Aussie Speaker of the House, who is resigning over lurid text messages.
Anyway, watch the video ... certainly not like anything you'd see in U.S. politics. In addition to the intensity of the speech (which really picks up at the 3 minute mark), you can really see Abbott get increasingly uncomfortable as the speech goes on. He starts by smiling at the charges of being sexist to appearing deeply uncomfortable.

Hi Think Atheist,
You shall probably notice that I will be posting a lot more on this site, and many of my posts wont be directly connected to atheism. Its nice to have a bit more variety on the forum. Anyway...
Some of you may or may not be aware of this, but I am studying Digital Multimedia in collage. A huge part of that is learning JavaScript (especially for the web design side of the course). While taking advantage of my college's recourses, I have purchased a book on the Kindle store called "JavaScript: Just the Basics". Now while it is a very good book on understanding the core of the language, I feel that I could probably do with a text that focuses more on tutorials and step by step exercises in order to learn JavaScript.
If any of you could suggest some texts for me, that would be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance guys.

First of all, don't use that logo it is the Java logo altered to say "Javascript," Java and Javascript are two very different languages.
I'd recommend getting a treehouse (http://teamtreehouse.com) account and using their tutorials. I'd definitely do the HTML and CSS courses before Javascript. Its a little pricey, but I believe you can try some course out before signing up.
I've always found that just coming up with something to build and then figuring out how to build was the easiest way for me to learn.
Once you get comfortable writing JS, if you want to actually be able to write good, application quality javascript, you should at least read Javascript: The Good Parts by Douglas Crockford.
Very good point, I was aware that Java and Javascript are very different from each other. I updated the discussion image with something a little more relevant.
I will definitely be having a look at TeamTreeHouse. And your book suggestion is very much appreciated too, I'm going to get myself a copy of that.
Thank you so much Eric, I appreciate it so much.
You might find this useful for other subjects. All the books are free and they don't spam you.
When looking for example code, I often encounter the w3schools tutorials.
Should I ever decide to delve into it, I'll keep that warning in mind. Thanks (way in advance).
It could be far far worse.
The worst of all worlds are those really ancient languages like FORTRAN and original BASIC that don't require declarations (though "implicit none" in FORTRAN will cure the disease); if you commit a typo you've just created a new variable and if it's sufficiently subtle then you wonder why the hell your stuff doesn't work. I knew someone who spent literally days searching for a bug in a BASIC program that turned out to be typing P1 once where he wanted PI. And his display made 1 and capital I look virtually identical. BASIC just thought to itself, "OK here's a new variable named P1. Not sure what type it is and you didn't bother to initialize it, but OK, here you go."
We lost an unmanned spacecraft once because instead of DO 10 I = 1,50 someone typed DO 10 I = 1.50 (or something very similar) in FORTRAN. The first loops 50 times over all of the statements from there forward to the one thats' numbered 10 in columns 2-7 of the code (usually but not always a "continue" statement), the second declares a variable named DO10I and sets it to 1.5. Oops. (Yeah FORTRAN ignores spaces. ALL spaces!)
Yeah, in javascript you can lose track of a result by typing myvar instead of myVar - had that happen several times. Not requiring declarations is just suicidal, in my opinion.
In other words, when I said "It could be far far worse" I should have been saying "It IS far far worse?"
This is me running away from this so-called language as fast as I can.
Yes, very good advice. I'll be checking that out
I've been a server-side programmer for about 20 years, but about a year and a half ago I started working with client-side technologies, mainly JavaScript and jQuery, and I can say without a doubt, JavaScript is the hottest programming language in the Known Universe! No matter how much time you spend becoming proficient in JS, you won't regret it. Honestly, I regret waiting so long to jump into JavaScript and I've made a lot of money writing server code in my career.

On Monday night former Dire Straits frontman Mark Knopfler and Emmylou Harris brought their current tour to the Orpheum Theater in Minneapolis. The tour promotes the good new Knopfler/Harris recording, "All the Roadrunning". Following a similarly fast-paced opening in Europe, the current jaunt is itself a classic bit of roadrunning, covering dates from Toronto (June 19) to Berkeley (June 30) with two nights off. It can't be much fun.
Having come for Emmylou, I was disappointed by the show. Emmylou is more than a sideman in Knopfler's performing outfit, but this was Knopfler's show. Although Emmylou looked ravishing, the sound mix muffled and brutalized her voice, especially in the first half of the show. Having seen Emmylou when she last came through town in 2002 in her Spyboy configuration (a transcendent show documented on her live recording of the same name), the contrast was striking.
Walking into the Orpheum, I was greeted by Power Line reader Derek Brigham. Derek came to hear Knopfler, and he liked the show. I held off writing about it because I didn't have anything positive to say. Derek, however, has a good and accurate account that is brightened by a photo display of Emmylou: "Random thoughts from a concert." Although Derek enjoyed the show more than I did, I agree entirely with his demographic analysis of the audience (ouch!).

Humph's Original Septet are back at Ronnie's!The show will compered by the comedian and writer Barry Cryer
The Humph band are the original band of the much loved British trumpeter, broadcaster, comedy host and oddly progressive swing veteran, who sadly died in 2008.
Line up confirmed: Tony Fisher – tpt; Jimmy Hastings – Alto sax, clt & flute; Robert Fowler – Tenor sax, baritone sax & clt; Ray Wordsworth – Trombone; Adrian Macintosh – Drums; Ted Beament – Piano & John Rees-Jones – Bass
In January 2008, Humphrey Lyttelton celebrated sixty years as a bandleader, leading a band which he ranked as one of the very best of his career. It's hallmark is versatility, reflected in a repertoire which extends from early traditional to modern by way of Ellington and Basie.
The band's range is also shown by the cast-list of artists whom it has accompanied on disc or in special presentations over the years, among them instrumentalists Buck Clayton and Buddy Tate and singers Jimmy Rushing, Big Joe Turner, Marie Knight, Elkie Brooks, Helen Shapiro and Stacey Kent. Perhaps surprising is an appearance on a CD by the esoteric pop group Radiohead.
The band has had many distinguished arrangers, including Kenny Graham, Buck Clayton, Eddie Harvey and Pete Strange, whom Humph introduced on-stage as 'our staff arranger'. Not to be forgotten are Humph's own compositions, of which he recorded well over two hundred, including 'the medley of his hit', Bad Penny Blues.
It's little surprise that the prevailing reaction from audiences was 'We never thought a jazz concert could have such variety!'
The most important ingredients are, of course, the musicians, all stars in their own right!
Tony Fisher – Trumpet
With over 60 years in music, Tony has done it all. Starting as a child prodigy on stage, aged 14 playing Harry James 'Trumpet Blues'. He then went on to work with almost every band, including the great Ted Heath, becoming the most in demand studio player doing hundreds of recordings and TV shows – Morcambe and Wise, The Two Ronnies and 25 years of the Parkinson Show.
Jazzwise, he worked with Tubby Hayes, Johnny Dankworth and the Kenny Clarke/Francy Boland Band. In 1993 he became leader of the Bert Kaempfert Orchestra and was greatly honoured when asked to join the Humphrey Lyttelton Band in 2008 after Humph's death.
Robert Fowler – Tenor Sax, Baritone Sax and Clarinet
Robert began his musical career in Bristol , while he was studying graphic design. Work with a variety of local bands, often sitting in with visiting solo stars of the calibre of Danny Moss and Roy Williams, eventually put the design career on hold when he became a popular attraction in his own right.
Over recent years, he has played regularly with the Humphrey Lyttelton band, deputizing variously for Kathy Stobart, Jimmy Hastings and Karen Sharp. After a long wait of almost Gordon Brown proportions and the departure of Karen for fresh pastures, he has become a full-time member, bringing with him enormous experience in bands ranging from the Pasadena Roof Orchestra through the swinging Back to Basie Orchestra to the adventurous Alan Barnes Octet.
On whichever instrument he chooses to pick up, he has shown himself a show-stopper!
Jimmy Hastings – Alto Sax, Soprano Sax, Clarinet and Flute
Jimmy auditioned for Humphrey Lyttelton's band when Tony Coe left in the early Sixties. Then primarily a tenor saxist, he had to borrow Tony's alto for the audition, which may be why he wasn't immediately accepted
Since then he has become one of the most respected musicians on the British scene, in demand for session work and jazz assignments in top bands. He finally joined the band in the mid-Nineties.
Humph said, 'Thirty-odd years may seem like a long time to mull over an audition, but one doesn't rush into these things!' Jimmy's versatility is now a prime asset
Ray Wordsworth – Trombone
Born in Rotherham, by the age of ten Ray was playing trombone with the Rawmarsh Brass Band and, at fourteen, gigging with a local jazz band.
It's little wonder that he turned professional on leaving school and began a career which took him from work with Joe Daniels, Sid Phillips, Ken Mackintosh and other name bands to the Principal Trombone chair in the BBC Radio Orchestra.
His route into the Humph band in 2004 took in bands from Freddie Randall to Stan Tracey and studio work has equipped him with a bagful of stellar names from Sinatra downwards. All of which can be summed up in two words – talent and experience.
Adrian Macintosh – Drums
Adrian moved to London from York in 1966 where he became much in demand backing visiting American musicians and working in established British bands.
He has been a member of the Humphrey Lyttelton Band since 1982 and he continues to promote Humph's music and ideals.
His interest in small group work came to fruition with the formation of Trio Time, a truly collective group that is continually developing its style and has led to three successful CDs.
He is an active member of the Musicians' Union representing jazz players and since Humph's death is involved with the Humph Trust.
John Rees-Jones – Double Bass
Classically trained as a cellist, John toured and recorded as such with Keith Tippet's Centipede and subsequently appeared with Yehudi Menuhin and Peter Pears. He moved over to double bass and bass guitar in the late 1970s.
A list of those with whom he has worked in jazz and also theatre music would constitute a show-business encyclopaedia.
He has also found time to act as visiting teacher of jazz double bass and bass guitar at Eton College.
Now, after deputising frequently with Humphrey Lyttelton's band, he brings his vast experience to it on a permanent basis.
Ted Beament – Piano
Self-taught in his youth, he studied with bassist and teacher Peter Ind. In his own words, he sidled into, rather than burst upon, the London jazz scene.
For many years he did gigs with his own trio and with other freelance groups, reaching a point when many top international musicians were happy to have him supporting them. He is also a superb and sensitive accompanist.
When he joined the Humph band in early 1995, it was his first-ever job with a regular working band; an extraordinary fact which he puts down to being a 'late-developer'!

Your needs, goals and circumstances are unique, and they require the individualized attention of your financial professional.
"Tax-efficient distributions" refers to options where a portion of the distribution is a return of cost basis and thus excludable from taxes.
What is a variable annuity?
A variable annuity is a tax-deferred financial product designed to allow investors to invest for growth potential and provide income for retirement or other long-term life goals. In essence, an annuity is a contractual agreement in which payment(s) are made to an insurance company, which agrees to pay out income or a lump sum amount at a later date. Variable annuities are subject to market risk including loss of principal. There are fees and charges associated with a variable annuity contract, which include, but are not limited to, operations charges, sales and withdrawal charges and administrative fees. The withdrawal charge declines from 6% to 3% over five years for Investment Edge. Earnings are taxable as ordinary income when distributed and may be subject to an additional 10% federal tax if withdrawn before age 59 1/2.
This content is not a complete description of all material provisions of the variable annuity contract. Please click here for the Investment Edge prospectus. The prospectus contains more complete information, including investment objectives, risks, charges, expenses, limitations and restrictions.
There are certain contract limitations and restrictions associated with an Investment Edge contract. For costs and complete details of coverage, speak to your financial professional/insurance licensed registered representative. Certain types of contracts, features and benefits may not be available in all jurisdictions. AXA Equitable offers other variable annuity contracts with different fees, charges and features.
If you are purchasing an annuity contract to fund an Individual Retirement Account (IRA) or employer sponsored retirement plan, you should be aware that such annuities do not provide tax-deferral benefits beyond those already provided by the Internal Revenue Code. Before purchasing one of these annuities, you should consider whether its features and benefits beyond tax deferral meet your needs and goals. You may also want to consider the relative features and benefits of these annuities with any other investments that you may use in connection with your retirement plan or arrangement.
Not every contract is available through the same selling broker/dealer.

Charoset–The Star of The Seder Table
Unlike the other elements of the seder plate; roasted egg, bitter herbs, shank bone, parsley and matzo, charoset is the true stand-out. This is one dish where you can let your create juices and personal taste preferences really soar.
Most of us think of charoset, which symbolizes the brick and mortar made by Jews when they were slaves in Egypt, as a simple mixture of apples, walnuts and wine. This is indeed, the traditional Ashkenazi recipe. But given that I am half Sephardic, I have a special yearning for the recipes that include more exotic ingredients such as dates, nuts, ginger and more. In my opinion, these recipes represent a fun opportunity for some real gourmet flair on the seder plate and table.
What I truly appreciate about charoset is that this one small item can bring exciting new flavors as well as history and ethnicity to a meal that tends to be so traditional. Certainly it opens doors for other interesting recipes—and conversation!
Below are some recipes that I am considering for the first seder, this Monday. All are from the outstanding Hadassah Jewish Holiday Cookbook. I plan to make atleast 2 of them and will double or triple recipes so that we can enjoy these healthful holiday treats all week long!
Do you have any favorite charoset recipes? Please post them as a comment to this blog so everyone can share them.
Happy Passover and let's always remember the sweetness of freedom. We can only hope that someday, everyone will be free.

This is the conversation that occured a few weeks ago when I bought the Clarins Eyebrow Kit at Boots.
"Hi I'd like buy your Eyebrow Kit."
"The what?"
"The Eyebrow Kit"
"Oh. That's what I thought you said."
"Yeah but no one every asks for it so I was surprised. No one. Ever. Asks for it. Ever. Haven't sold one for years."
"I see."
"I'll have to search for it"
Yes, I was perplexed but I wanted my damn Boots points.
So, with that confidence in mind I present you my aged Clarins Eyebrow Palette:
This palette is supposed to pretty much have everything you need for fabulous eye brows:
It's a pretty big kit. I would use this daily and I would take it on holiday or for a weekend but I would never ever carry this with me day to day – I'm not that dedicated to brows (I prefer a Brow Ink and Gel to carry round).
In the palette is 3 brow powders, black, brown and blonde. The three shades should cover nearly all skintones or you can mix them together or graduate the colours. There's also a brow wax, a base for the eyelids and a spoolie, applicator and tweezers.
Missing anything? If I was really fussy, scissors.
I piece of plastic on top of the palette makes everything easy to follow. There's also a huge mirror:
Here is the palette:
It's pretty neutral and will work for most skintones.
The brow powder is a hard texture and not too pigmented – this is a good thing for a brow powder imo because it just keeps things natural and makes it harder to mess up!
The powder:
Before (please excuse the lashes and hair band!):
After – I used the wax, the powder over my eyelid, and the medium and light brow powders near the front of the brow and the dark near the ends. I trimmed longer brows too. I blended in the powder – I am really happy with the result!
So despite my (and the sales assistants!) doubts, I have to say this is a great eyebrow kit. The powders are just the right texture and I like the wax and base eyeshadow too. The spoolie is nice and firm, good for blending, and the applicator brush is ok and the tweezers are pretty rubbish – they don't get small hairs but it's better than nothing.
The palette is a little MASSIVE – I have other palettes with brow powders and wax that are far more compact, but still, it's a good one to use at home.
I paid £29.50 for this from Boots, but you can buy it anywhere where there is a Clarins counter.
Do you use a brow kit?

Author Notes: I love food inspiration, as it often leads to something delicious. Inspired by EmilyC's winning Crispy Cream-Braised Potatoes and Fennel, last Tuesday night I made a one-pot dinner of braised pork chops, fennel and new potatoes. Seasoned with cinnamon, whole allspice, ginger, garlic and cooked in sparkling apple cider, I added a little cream at the end for a satisfying meal, redolent with flavors of the season (well, at least where most of you are, since it is still hot and summery here in Hawaii). The next day, when this contest was announced, I knew I had to translate my one pot meal into a stuffed pork roast. I knew I wanted to brine the pork in a cider mixture, and adapted Judy Rodger's basic pork brine from her Zuni Café cookbook to start. My first stuffing attempt involved quinoa, fennel, calvados and dried apricots; while tasty, I wanted something that would stay put in the loin when sliced and did not want to add egg to the stuffing mix. Back to the drawing board. Then, thanks to a brilliant suggestion from hardlikearmour, I decided to try adding squash to the fennel and from there the addition of curry and pistachios seemed appropriate, to contrast and mingle with the autumnal flavors of apple and spice in the pork.
While I usually shy away from recipes with an inordinate number of steps, I hope you do not let that deter you from this recipe. As long as you plan, the work takes care of itself, with the brining and drying of the roast. The stuffing comes together quickly, and slicing the pork loin open is easier that you might think (this was my first experience); just make sure you are not rushed as you cut (not that you should ever be rushed with a sharp knife!). The addition of braised or sauteed greens would round out the meal nicely.
Food52 Review: This is a showstopper of an entrée. Gingerroot has you brine pork loin in sparkling cider, sugar, cinnamon, and ginger. After the meat is butterflied, it's stuffed with a savory squash and fennel mixture, roasted, and then finished with a creamy pan sauce. What really makes this dish exceptional are a number of small, but thoughtful touches. The stuffing really sings with the unexpected addition of curry powder and crunchy pistachios. The sugary cider brine lends sweet and fruity notes to the rich pork. The pan sauce builds on the brine ingredients, but is infused with an indulgent splash of cream and Calvados. This dish would be a lovely centerpiece for a Christmas or New Year's dinner. There are several components to this dish, but most do not require active kitchen time, and some (such as the stuffing) could be made in advance. My family -- even my six-year-old -- all raved about this dish. I can't wait to make it again. - cookinginvictoria —cookinginvictoria
Serves: 4-5
For cider brine and pork
teaspoon whole allspice
teaspoon fennel seed
ounces sparkling apple cider (Martinelli's)
cinnamon sticks, broken in half
one-inch coins of fresh ginger, about ¼ inch thick
clove of garlic, peeled and smashed with the back of a knife
bay leaves
cups water
tablespoons sugar
tablespoons table salt
2 1/2
pounds boneless center cut pork loin roast, with fat on the top side– (you want a short, about 6-7 inches long, and wide, about 4-5 inches, piece)
scrubbed new potatoes (1 ½ - 2 inches across), depending on how many people you are serving, I planned four per person
Olive oil
tablespoons Calvados (apple brandy)
Reserved 1 t minced ginger (from stuffing, see below)
tablespoon unsalted butter
Sparkling apple cider, as needed for basting and pan sauce
Water or stock as needed
sparkling apple cider as needed, for basting and pan sauce
cup heavy cream
For Curried stuffing
1 1/2
tablespoons unsalted butter
cup minced onion
cup diced (1/4 inch) fennel (trimmed and cored)
cup diced (1/4 inch) butternut squash – I used a small squash with a long skinny neck and diced peeled slices of the neck
clove of garlic, minced
teaspoons minced fresh ginger, divided (reserve 1 t for pan sauce)
teaspoon good quality curry powder
tablespoons calvados
Up to ¼-cup sparkling apple cider
cup roasted, unsalted pistachios, shelled
For cider brine and pork
- Gently crush allspice and fennel until fragrant using a mortar and pestle. Combine crushed spices, sparkling cider, cinnamon sticks, ginger and garlic in a small saucepan. Crush bay leaves between your fingers and add them to the pot. Bring to a simmer, cook for one minute, cover and remove from heat. Allow mixture to steep for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine water, sugar and salt in a gallon sized Ziploc bag. Pinch the bottom of the bag to help the sugar and salt dissolve. Nest bag in a mixing bowl that is only slightly larger, so that the bag will stand up when sealed.
- Add steeped cider to the Ziploc bag, gently pressing on the bag to combine. Mixture should be room temperature. Rinse your pork loin and pat it dry, then add it to the brine mixture, squeeze out the air and seal. Refrigerate for 20-24 hours.
- Rinse your brined pork loin and pat dry. Discard brine. Place pork back into the bowl and let it dry out in the refrigerator for one hour. While the pork is drying out, make your stuffing.
- After your pork has dried out, you are ready to stuff it, but first, preheat your oven to 350° F.
- Place pork roast on a large cutting board, fat side up. Insert a sharp knife, parallel to cutting board, about ½ inch from the bottom of the roast. Slice evenly across the loin, stopping about ½ inch from the end. Open the flap and repeat once more until loin is an even ½-inch thickness throughout when laid out. If necessary, you can even out the thickness of the loin by covering with plastic wrap and pounding with a meat mallet.
- Stuff the loin by evenly spreading curried fennel-squash mixture over pork, leaving a ½-inch border open on all sides. Sprinkle reserved pistachios evenly across loin, gently pressing them into the stuffing. Starting at the short end, roll carefully and tightly, tucking in stuffing with your finger as necessary. Tie loin with kitchen twine at one-inch intervals. I found it easiest to start tying in the center and working out. You should end up with your fat side facing up, at the top of the loin.
- Place new potatoes in your roasting pan. Coat potatoes with a glug or two of olive oil and a sprinkle of salt; place rack over potatoes. Position tied loin on rack, cover top with a glug of olive oil and transfer to oven (rack in the middle). At 25 minutes, baste your pork with a mixture of 1-2 tablespoons of sparkling cider plus 1 Tablespoon of water. After 55 minutes, start checking the internal temperature of the roast, by inserting a meat thermometer in the thickest part of the loin. Roast until the internal temperature is 150°. Crank your oven up to broil and brown and crisp up the top, about 3 minutes. Remove pork from oven, place on a cutting board and tent with foil. Allow roast to rest for 10-15 minutes.
- While pork is resting, make a quick pan sauce. Remove potatoes from roasting pan and place on serving platter. Place roasting pan on stovetop over medium-low heat. Deglaze pan with 2 T of calvados, scraping up any caramelized bits from the bottom of your pan with a wooden spoon. Add1/2 T of butter, reserved teaspoon of ginger, and small amounts of sparkling apple cider and/or water and/or stock as needed to make a sauce (will be on the thin side). Taste and adjust as necessary. Finally add a quarter cup of heavy cream, stir to combine. Strain pan sauce through a sieve into a small bowl.
- Slice pork, removing twine as you cut. Transfer to serving platter, serve with potatoes and pan sauce. Enjoy!
For Curried stuffing
- Melt butter over medium heat in a Dutch oven or large sauté pan with a lid. Once butter begins to brown, add onions. Cook for about a minute, until fragrant, stirring to coat and prevent burning. Add squash, fennel, garlic, ginger and curry powder, stirring to mix. Add calvados, cover and turn down heat. Cook for 10-12 minutes, until squash and fennel are tender and soft but not mushy.
- Remove about ½ cup of mixture and set aside in a bowl. Transfer remaining mixture to a blender and pulse, adding sparkling apple cider a tablespoon at a time. You want the mixture to be chunky, not a smooth puree. Add reserved mixture and repeat, pulsing and adding sparkling cider as needed. Place mixture in a bowl, and set aside to cool until pork has finished drying and you are ready to stuff (if you are making stuffing ahead of time, place bowl in refrigerator until ready to stuff).
- Toast pistachios in a dry skillet for 5 minutes. Cool and coarsely chop. Set aside in a small bowl.
