OK, so here's what crazy computer geeks come up with when they're bored of just sitting in the subway and staring out of the window.
Web servers usually run on port 80. TCP/UDP ports range from 1 to 65535 (port 0 is reserved). You can run multiple web servers on different ports at the same time... Do you think what I think?
Well, first you need a web server (duh). I decided to use lighttpd, as it's said to be small and memory-efficient (which sounded pretty important given what I was trying to do). Apache would probably not be a good choice here. Mind you, I have not done any benchmarks at all, I'm just guessing...
$ apt-get install lighttpd
Then, I wrote a little shell script containing a loop, which invoked lighttpd on port 1, 2, 3, 4, ..., 65535. That's it ;)
#!/bin/bash TMPDIR=/tmp CONFFILE="server.document-root = \"/var/www/\" index-file.names = ( \"index.html\" )" for ((i = 1; i < 300; i = i + 1)) do echo "+++ Starting web server on port $i" echo $CONFFILE > $TMPDIR/lighttpd.conf echo "server.port = $i" >> $TMPDIR/lighttpd.conf /usr/sbin/lighttpd -f $TMPDIR/lighttpd.conf rm -f $TMPDIR/lighttpd.conf done
I'm sure this can be optimized a lot, but it's sufficient for now, and it works.
You can test any of the web servers by running "
wget http://localhost:3556/" (for example). You can kill them all with
killall lighttpd. If you already run some other daemons on some ports, you cannot start a lighttpd on the same port, so you'll end up with fewer than 65535 servers.
In case you try this on your hardware, make sure you have lots of RAM and lots of swap. Don't run this on production hardware. Feel free to post your experiences in the comments.
I found out about TinEye a few minutes ago. It's a nice little search engine which allows you to find exact copies of a photo or even similar versions of it. You can either upload an image for comparison with their database, or point TinEye to a URL of the image you want to check.
For instance, checkout this this search for my unreasonably popular "Sugar" photo. Or have a look at this list of sample searches.
The site is also used in Wikipedia for detecting the original source of uploaded images.
I know there is some other website which also allows similarity search of images, but I just can't remember the URL. Please leave a comment if you know of other such sites, thanks!
Say you have a bunch of PDFs and you want to know how many pages each of them has. You could of course use some graphical software to display every single PDF and check the page count (xpdf, evince, whatever), but that gets tedious very fast.
So here's (mostly as a reminder for myself) one way to count pages of many PDFs (in the current directory) using pdfinfo from the xpdf-utils package:
$ cat countpdfpages #!/bin/sh for f in *.pdf; do echo -n "$f: " pdfinfo "$f" 2>/dev/null | grep Pages | cut -d ":" -f 2 done
A sample run:
$ ./countpdfpages S71147.pdf: 25 S71226.pdf: 38 S71242-01.pdf: 25 S71258.pdf: 26 S71315.pdf: 35 S72045.pdf: 2
I'm sure there are many other ways to do this, e.g. using pdftk foo.pdf dump_data (in the pdftk package), please leave a comment if you know a simpler way to achieve this. Especially so if you don't need an extra script to do it (i.e. if there's a PDF command line tool which can already count pages in multiple PDFs). Thanks!
I have mentioned the flashrom utility in my blog in the past. This is a small command line tool which allows you to update your BIOS/coreboot/firmware chips without opening the computer and without any special boot procedures.
Yesterday, flashrom 0.9 was finally released. Here's a short passage from the release announcement:
After nine years of development and constant improvement, we have added support for every BIOS flash ROM technology present on x86 mainboards and every flash ROM chip we ever saw in the wild.
Highlights of flashrom include:
Please note that rewriting your flash chip can be dangerous and flashrom developers make no guarantees whatsoever. That said, many users have successfully replaced proprietary tools such as awdflash, amiflash and afudos with flashrom.
Download: flashrom-0.9.0.tar.gz
SVN: svn co svn://coreboot.org/flashrom/trunk flashrom
Debian: apt-get install flashrom
Do yourself a favor and try flashrom next time you want to upgrade your BIOS. No more floppies or bootable CD-ROMs with DOS/Windows binaries or similar crap. Run flashrom conveniently from the Linux command line, or even via SSH or serial console if you want...
I recently got a new (well, refurbished) laptop as a replacement for my old Toshiba A80-117 laptop which has more or less died. It's an IBM/Lenovo T40p laptop (model 2373-CG6), with an Intel Pentim M at 1.5 GHz. I chose this laptop for multiple reasons:
Downsides and missing hardware features (nothing too important, though):
Pretty much all of the hardware works flawlessly out of the box with a recent distro/kernel, see below for details.
Not needed, I simply popped out the 40 GB drive from the T40p and inserted my 160 GB (PATA) drive from my old laptop and that was it. Pretty much everything worked out of the box (see below), even though this is a totally different manufacturer, model, chipset, graphics card, wireless card, and so on. The only exception being (of course) my small Windows partition on that disk, which is now unusable as the drive is on different hardware and Microsoft doesn't like me to do that. Free Software: 1, Microsoft: 0.
Works out of the box using the snd_intel8x0 driver. The hardware is onboard audio in the southbridge (82801DB / ICH4) and uses the Analog Devices AD1981B codec.
Works out of the box using the bluetooth and hci_usb driver. The laptop's Bluetooth device is USB-attached internally and shows up in lsusb as:
$ lsusb Bus 003 Device 004: ID 1668:0441 Actiontec Electronics, Inc. [hex] IBM Integrated Bluetooth II
The device is not enabled per default though (which is a good thing), you can enable it like this:
$ echo enable > /proc/acpi/ibm/bluetooth
Disabling is equally simple:
$ echo disable > /proc/acpi/ibm/bluetooth
After that, you can use hcitool / hciconfig etc. as usual, and/or enable more related stuff with /etc/init.d/bluetooth restart.
Untested, I don't need it.
Untested so far.
Works out of the box.
$ sensors acpitz-virtual-0 Adapter: Virtual device temp1: +51.0°C (crit = +93.0°C) thinkpad-isa-0000 Adapter: ISA adapter fan1: 3698 RPM temp1: +51.0°C temp2: +42.0°C temp3: +32.0°C temp4: +49.0°C temp5: +33.0°C ERROR: Can't get value of subfeature temp6_input: Can't read temp6: +0.0°C temp7: +28.0°C ERROR: Can't get value of subfeature temp8_input: Can't read temp8: +0.0°C
The Intel ICH4-M southbridge in this laptop supports High Performance Event Timers (HPET) which allows for more power savings and thus improved battery life.
$ dmesg | grep -i hpet pci 0000:00:1f.0: Force enabled HPET at 0xfed00000 hpet clockevent registered HPET: 3 timers in total, 0 timers will be used for per-cpu timer hpet0: at MMIO 0xfed00000, IRQs 2, 8, 0 hpet0: 3 comparators, 64-bit 14.318180 MHz counter
You can check with powertop that the number of wakeups-from-idle is drastically reduced (from 70 to less than 10) when adding hpet=force to the kernel command line.
Works out of the box using the e1000 driver.
$ modprobe e1000 Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Driver - version 7.3.20-k2-NAPI Copyright (c) 1999-2006 Intel Corporation.

Works out of the box, both in X as well as in the console using gpm.
Works out of the box, both in X as well as in the console using gpm.
Both work out of the box (on 2.6.26 or 2.6.29 kernels), or at least it used to; I think I'm seeing some hangs upon resume nowadays (Capslock LED is blinking, schreen is blank. I'll investigate.). I'm using the hibernate Debian package. You can explicitly force the usage of either method in /etc/hibernate/hibernate.conf by uncommenting the respective lines.
# TryMethod suspend2.conf TryMethod disk.conf # TryMethod ram.conf
Works out of the box using the ath5k driver. I tested WEP as well as WPA.
Works out of the box using the acpi_cpufreq driver.
$ cpufreq-info analyzing CPU 0: driver: acpi-cpufreq CPUs which need to switch frequency at the same time: 0 hardware limits: 600 MHz - 1.50 GHz available frequency steps: 1.50 GHz, 1.40 GHz, 1.20 GHz, 1000 MHz, 800 MHz, 600 MHz available cpufreq governors: userspace, powersave, ondemand, conservative, performance current policy: frequency should be within 800 MHz and 1.50 GHz. The governor "powersave" may decide which speed to use within this range. current CPU frequency is 800 MHz (asserted by call to hardware). cpufreq stats: 1.50 GHz:69.76%, 1.40 GHz:0.11%, 1.20 GHz:0.13%, 1000 MHz:0.16%, 800 MHz:29.83%, 600 MHz:0.00% (4010)
Use cpufreq-set -g performance if you need full CPU power, cpufreq-set -g powersave otherwise.
Works fine out of the box, tested with beep.
Works out of the box. You can play DVDs or CD-ROMs, and burn CDs (but not DVDs):
$ wodim foo.iso [...] Device type : Removable CD-ROM Version : 0 Response Format: 2 Capabilities : Vendor_info : 'MATSHITA' Identification : 'UJDA745 DVD/CDRW' Revision : '1.02' Device seems to be: Generic mmc2 DVD-ROM. Using generic SCSI-3/mmc CD-R/CD-RW driver (mmc_cdr). Driver flags : MMC-3 SWABAUDIO BURNFREE Supported modes: TAO PACKET SAO SAO/R96P SAO/R96R RAW/R96R
Ejecting a CD-ROM/DVD using the eject command line tool also works fine.
Works out of the box using the radeon driver.
$ xrandr Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1400 x 1050, maximum 1400 x 2048 VGA-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) DVI-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) LVDS connected 1400x1050+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 0mm x 0mm 1400x1050 50.0*+ 1280x800 60.0 1280x768 60.0 1024x768 60.0 800x600 60.3 640x480 59.9 S-video disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
DRI works out of the box with the (mainline, open-source) driver:
$ glxinfo | grep direct direct rendering: Yes
If you attach an external monitor or projector, you can enable it using xrandr as usual:
$ xrandr --output VGA-0 --auto
You can also use a dual-head setup by adding this to your "Screen" section in /etc/X11/xorg.conf:
SubSection "Display" # Virtual 2048 2048 Virtual 1400 2048 EndSubSection
After restarting the X server, you can play with xrandr and move the external screen (VGA-0) "below" the laptop's LCD screen (LVDS) for a simple dual-head setup. The GUI tools arandr or grandr are probably a bit simpler to use than plain command line xrandr.
The maximum size for the "Virtual" line is 2048x2048 if you want to keep DRI enabled (you can use higher values if you don't care about DRI).
Untested so far.
Yes, this model still has an actual parallel port, which is nice as I can use it for random JTAG stuff (e.g. OpenOCD) with several cheapo parallel port JTAG adapters I own.
This laptop has a type II/III PCMCIA slot which works out of the box using the pcmcia and yenta_socket drivers. You can probe/handle PCMCIA cards using the pccardctl tool:
$ pccardctl status Socket 0: no card Socket 1: no card
Works fine, of course. Luckily it's USB 2.0 (not USB 1.1) so I can successfully do high-speed stuff, e.g. watching DVB-T using kaffeine. The only small problem is that there are only two USB ports, more would have been better.
Works fine, of course, it's just a normal PATA drive. You can check if DMA gets properly enabled with hdparm /dev/hda | grep dma.
Works out of the box (Fn + PgUp). This is a tiny, but useful light embedded in the screen, which is helpful if you're working in dark rooms or in trains during the night etc.
What works out of the box: brightness control buttons, audio volume control + mute buttons, thinklight button.
TODO: Access IBM, F3, F4, F5, F7, F12, left/right special keys, Fn+Space.
All of them seem to work fine, including the Bluetooth on/off and Wireless on/off LEDs, as well as the suspend LED.

5/09 in Yankee History
The red-letter day –
1930: In a
game between the Yankees and the Tigers at the Stadium, the outfielders
of both teams make a total of only 2 putouts for an AL
record that has never been equalled. The NL record for outfield idleness
is one
chance (Pittsburgh versus Brooklyn' August 26' 1910). Detroit's George
Uhle strikes out 8 in winning' 5-4' and dropping the Yanks to 7th
place. Henry Johnson (7 innings) and George Pipgras are the New York
On other 9ths of May…
2008: Don't say we didn't warn you… The Yankees recall kei Igawa from AAA Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on May 9, optioning righty reliever Chris Britton to
AAA to make room for the embattled Japanese southpaw. Igawa takes the mound against the Tigers in Comerica Park and allows 6 runs on 11 hits in 3 innings. A spirited
Yankee rally in the 9th falls short in the 6-5 loss.
1999: The Yankees defeat the Mariners 6-1. Reliever Mike Stanton makes his 1st
major league start for New York, ending his major league record streak of 552
consecutive relief appearances prior to his first start. The previous record of
443 was set by Gary Lavelle of the Giants.
The Yankees beat the Rangers 5-3 at the Stadium, with Jesse Barfield
contributing a 2-run homer. For the first time since April 10th' no
Major League games are shutouts' ending a
streak of 29 consecutive days with at least one whitewashing.
For the second night in a row, Yankee pitching surrenders a walkoff
homer to Seattle's Tom Paciorek. The second shot is a 3-run dinger off
Ron Davis giving the Mariners
a 6-5 win over the visiting Bombers.
The previous night' Paciorek led off the 9th with a homer off Rudy May
to give
Seattle a 3-2 win.
1966: At Minneapolis' the 6-20 Yankees edge the Twins' 3-2. Roger Maris' Mickey Mantle and Joe Pepitone' with the
game-winner in the 9th inning' hit homers for New York.
At Cleveland, Pedro Ramos gives up 4 home runs to New York – Tony
Kubek' Mickey Mantle' Joe Pepitone' and Hector Lopez -as the Yanks win
1958: After six straight home rainouts' the Yanks play their first home night
game of the year' against Washington. Mickey Mantle breaks a 2-2 tie in the 3rd
with an inside-the-park solo homer off Pedro Ramos. New York roll to a 9-5 win.
1953: At Fenway, the first place Yanks beat the Red Sox 6-4. Mickey Mantle hits one homer off Bill Werle and is robbed of
another when Jimmy Piersall makes a sensational catch at the Sox bullpen in
right-center field.
Vic Raschi tosses a 5-hitter at Detroit, but the Tigers still set back
the first-place Yankees 4-1' as Bengal hurler Ted Gray matches the
performance of his opposite number. Dick Wakefield's solo homer off
Raschi completes the scoring by the home side.
1944: Joe McCarthy returns to the Yankee dugout after missing much of spring training and the early season due
to illness.
1943: The Yankees take the opening game of a doubleheader with the A's with a 13-1 thrashing behind Spud
Chandler (3-0). Chandler contributes a three-run inside-the-park homer
in the first inning. Roy Weatherly is 5-for-5 with a triple and homer.
His homer is followed by another from Charlie Keller. The A's rebound to
win game 2, 4-3, holding Weatherly hitless.
1940: The
New York press reports the impending sale of the Yankees by the Ruppert
estate to political bigwigs Jim Farley and Jesse Jones.
The Sporting News declares the sale will be for $4 million. The imminent
sale will resurface on the front pages several times during the next
year' but it never happens.
1903: The Boston Americans top the visiting Highlanders 12-5' with a little
help from umpire Bob Caruthers' who tosses out New York pitcher Jesse Tannehill
and second baseman Jimmy Williams for arguing balls and strikes.

Women travelling to Egypt safely
January 2009
I am really keen to take a vacation in Egypt, see the pyramids, and maybe cruise down the nile but have been warned that it is not advisable for a single American women. Is this right? I gather it is more related to unwanted attention from men - even I cover up - rather than anything terrorism linked. I'd like to go, but would welcome some reasurance that it is safe to travel to Egypt as a women! Thanks in advance. Sx
January 2009
Hi, Im an English woman and am travelling to Egypt alone in early March. I have no reservations whatsoever as I visited twice with my (now ex) partner. There are plenty of tourists around and, the same as anywhere, if you use your common sense,t here will be no problem.
January 2009
Suzie, I live in Egypt and the men here are very polite when you say you are not interested then they leave you alone. If you want I and my partner Mohamed can take you anywhere you like you can rent an apartment which is cheaper than staying in a hotel the food is reasonable and the people very nice if you want more information contact me at email@example.com
Take no notice to scaremongers they are only jealous that they haven't got the conviction to come themselves
Take Care
January 2009
I am an Egyptian guy, lived in egypt my entire life, my advise to you is to wear clothes that are not revealing and not wonder around in a non-croweded area, other than that you won't have to worry, the egyptian people are very friendly and helpful, if u need any help u would just howler and people will help u specially if you are in trouble, what u should worry about it is people trying to sell u stuff when u go to the touristic areas.
other than that you will have a blast,
if it was me, I wouldn't trust that Pam person though, if u need a place to stay find a hotel you can look at Shepherd hotel - down town it is cheap and you would find hotels starting 65$ till what ever you need, don't trust person, go for hotels and travel agents
hope that was helpful.
January 2009
Scot and frequent traveller/diver: I have to agree with Shady, Suzie don't trust that Pam item......stick to booked hotels. I would say dress "normally" but actually I would mean dress conservatively.
January 2009
I am also a single young woman from Canada, and I am looking to travel in Egypt in November. I've heard from numerous people who have travelled there, that women must dress conservatively. That means that if you're going in the summer, and its hot, a tank top is ok, but always have a cover up or shall with you. Remember it's primarily an Islamic nation, therefore we must show repsect to their citizens.
I have also heard that some of the men are forward with their comments and advances, but if you respond kindly, you should not have any problems. Although one couple who went, the woman mentioned that showing confidence wouldn't hurt. This makes it harder for them to keep bothering you.
Other than that, I cannot wait to go. Its been a dream of mine to go. Hope you enjoy your trip!
January 2009
Went there last week as a single woman and the unwanted attention ruined it. Every man that I met was perverted and they had no respect for western woman. I'm British from an Indian background, very confident and able to look after myslef. I couldn't go anywhere without being hassled and this was mainly by the resort staff. (the hotel I stayed in was a respectable 5 *) There were times when I was chased on the beach by men that wanted to talk to me even when I made it very clear that I was not interested. They DID NOT take no for an answer. Also when I decided to walk around with a frown on my face I was told that I am stuck up.
I am well travelled and love new cultures but Egypt and the Egyption men have left a bad taste in my mouth and it it not a place I would go to again unless I was travelling with a very intimidating looking partner. There are NO Egyption women there at all and whilst their women are covered up and locked up at home back in their hometowns the men are openly chasing and harrassing western women.A disgusting culture!
January 2009
Hi, we are two Scottish girls who travelled to Egypt in 2006. We found it could be intimidating at times, men would jump in front of you in the street giving inappropriate comments regardless of how conservatively dressed you were. However, this sort of attention certainly wouldn't have changed our minds about visiting. We would highly recommend you take a friend with you though, even with two of us there were times we wished we had a male accompanying us! The most important tip we can give is when visiting tourist-y places always take the guide recommended to you by hotel staff etc, they may cost you a bit in the short term but will keep away so much unwanted attention it is well worth it! Happy travels, Faith and Zoe.
February 2009
Dear Del,
I am Egyptian, and I would like to apologize on behalf of my "brothers" but I would also like to point out that what you have said is a little bit aggressive, you have to respect the culture of the country you are going to and not curse at it.
I still think that you might have made a mistake about ur choice of clothing and would also like you to contact the hotel that you were in and report the staff members that made you feel uncomfortable. and also I will agree with Faith and Zoe, if you have a companion it would have been more easy for you, and I am sure you are very attractive to have ALL the men in Egypt interested in you
sorry again and hope u decide to make another visit that is advised by people who know where to go, you would love Egypt, i suggest you give it another try
February 2009
My name is Maree and I am from Australia...I recently took a trip to Thailand and had a ball, but besides that, I noticed all the locals would recognise you as an aussie straight away and hound you more than I think other races (maybe because we appear to be laid back or just dumb i dont know) ..Is this the case in Egypt? Also, is anyone able to recommend anywhere else to go in Africa, I have been told Swaziland and Botswana?? Maybe a little South of though?
As well as the scenery I would also like to know what the night life is like given im 21 and want to experience both sides.
So anyone who has travelled Africa I would love to hear from you
Thanks Heaps
February 2009
If you loved thailand and you're young and want to party, check out Dahab on Egypt's sinai peninsula.
Another option, you WILL love in a BIG way is the Transkei region of South AFrica. This is the rural and traditional part between Port Elizabeth and Durban. Big hippy scene, stunning beaches, strong backpacker culture.
If you do go to Egypt, hook up with some other travellers quickly. Will make life easier. Then hire a felucca and cruise down the Nile over a few days. Really great experience.
February 2009
I'm a single, middle-aged woman, who is interested in combining a 2-3 week visit to Egypt (the Nile area) and Greece. Can anyone tell me the best time to travel to the region (weather-wise)? I like it warm, but not fall-down-dead hot! Also, any suggestions for budget-minded tour operators would be appreciated. And, thanks to all of you for your opinions and suggestions on single women travelling in the area. Keep the advice coming, please.
February 2009
I am a single south african woman, looking to travel to egypt (red sea) in march. I'm a bit wary of the mixed comments, as i don't particularly want to be harrassed on my holiday. also - can anyone tell me if you are able to obtain a visa before you have actually booked your holiday?
February 2009
Hello, I am thinking of visiting Egypt in a month but have got reservations as well, I have blonde hair and blue eyes and from an early age was told that it would be dangerous travelling to these sort of countries, especially on my own. A lot of my friends have visited Egypt and have loved it, but they have always been in couples. I would like to explore the area I stay at but think I would need to be with someone else and not alone. It is a shame that we have to have these fears, when all we want to do is widen our travelling experiences.
February 2009
Ok, you may think I'm mad. I've "met" an Egyptian man..on facebook. We've been talking for 3 months, he's in his graduating year as a law student and we've really connected. I know it doesn't sound wise to fall in love with someone you've never but we've talked so much on the phone and internet and text messaging. I know you have to be wary and cautious but I do 100% believe him.
Anyway, the reason for this messgae is...
He has can't leave the country because he has to do the compulsory military service when he finishes studying, so the only way to meet is if I go to him.
My dad is terrified of me going to Egypt, he makes it sound like a terrible country and of course doesn't believe the Egyptian man's story. He said if I go there it's only if he comes with me, and only to one of the all inclusive resorts (apparantly, according to my dad, most tourists don't leave the resorts because it's too dangerous). This man lives in Alexandria, is it a safe city to visit? Is my dad's comment of "i would handcuff myself to you" a little extreme? Is there really this much need to worry??????
Me going out there at the moment is the only hope of seeing him and I would take all sensible precautions possible to avoid putting myself in danger.
Pleeeease if anyone can offer any positive advice please do.
March 2009
I am in two minds about visiting Egypt, I really want to go there to relax and get some real hot sun and warm sea, maybe even fly to Cairo and see the pyramids, but the thought of being pulled about by people and hassled is so off-putting I keep holding back from booking my flights. Are there any female travellers that have been there that can advise me on the appropriate dress code, even if just relaxing near the hotel? Is it ok to wear a bikini top, with say, shorts or does it have to be longer trousers and a t'shirt? Is it ok to wear a bikini and go topless by the hotel pools? I just want to ensure being a single woman that I don't upset anyone by being too open.
March 2009
Hey Viv,
In reply to your comments, I would be a bit wary if I was you. Your are engaging with someone over the internet and it can always have some danger attached to it. If the man is a law student and passes out, surely he can visit you afterwards, not sure where you live though. If he has to do his service first then you wouldn't be able to see him for a long tome anyway. You shouldn't just go there on your own and go out and about, I think the resorts are the best place for visitors, especially for single females.
March 2009
hey for all i'm egyptian guy 20 years study information system i'm not gonna take so much about how much egypti is safe and how my folks are so friendly but i would say ask those guys that visited egypt and those who live in egypt how its here...thou i'm kinda into know,hang with forgion folks its really one of hobbies and so if there is someone comen to egypt and need partner i really would like to give my hand and time to hang around and have good,fun time,,,,,as everybody will say this not safe stay away of this guy bla bla well this my e-mail add me we can know each other first and may be we make it thru who know!

March 2009
I have visited Egypt on three occasions. Once with my husband travelling down the Nile, and twice with my sister and daughter. The last time my neice joined us. We stayed at Sharm. Both my daughter and neice are slim with blond hair. We found the Egyptian men polite, and yes they do hassle you to buy their wares, but they are only trying to make a living. A simple La (No) in a pleasant voice usually works. We went out to eat every night and used the local mini bus to travel to the old town. It was an experience all squashed in. Everyone was friendly pointing out landmarks on the way. The girls visited the night clubs with no problems. The security guards watched them back to the hotel ,reporting to me in the morning what time they had arrived back. I think it boils down to the fact that if you are pleasant to people they are pleasant in return.
My friend and I are going to Sharm next week, can`t wait !!!
March 2009
A note to some of the comments above: Keep in mind that mainland Egypt and the Sinai Peninsula are very different. The expected behaviour as well. Sinai is a resort tourist destination, so you will be surrounded by European tourists. The areas are also very different in what you can do. Sinai is for beach resorts, mainland Egypt is for the historical monuments and the Nile.
March 2009
hi i was just readin other peoples comments and i wanted know is it ok to walk around in your bikini top and a short skirt?
also what are the men like? i have heard they are all perverted.
thank you in advance.
Antoinette Mony
March 2009
Yes. Bek. you can walk in the streets wearing bikini & short skirts but for entering the religious places like Churches or Mosques, you shouldnot be dressed like that as a respectable way to these places. I don't know where did you hear that about Egyptian Men. that's absolutely of wrong source.
March 2009
Bek: I am not sure if your question is a serious or not, but in case it is, DO NOT walk the streets of any Egyptian city (I don't know about Sharm) wearing a bikini top and short skirts. It's nothing like Miami or the South of France, and you'll just attract the wrong (and possibly dangerous) kind of attention.
March 2009
I agree with Erika. The more skin you show, the more attention you will attract. The men are not perverted, per se, but most will assume that if you wear bikini and short skirts you are inviting sexual advances.
March 2009
March 2009
Myself and my friend (both 'mature' women) are going alone to Sharm next week.
Many posting are a bit old.... Again, today (March 09) what is the best currency to take? How much do I tip and to whom/when? Finally, have I got it right: no shorts except on beach; wear something 'covering' from room to pool; cover arms always (but presumably not on beach... ) women alone beware...........????
Don't want to pre-judge but some of these emails are a bit scary - particularly to someone who is disabled.
Welcome comments
March 2009
A friend of mine went to Cairo last year and said some men offered her parents money for her sister. Were the men just messing with them because they were tourists or were they actually trying to buy her sister?
March 2009
These comments are both helpful and scary. I'm going to Egypt at the end of march alone. I'm a 24, white, brown haired female. Is it possible to meet fellow travelers there? or will I be wandering the streets being harassed?
Actually, I was wondering what the best way to get to dahab from cairo was. bus, train, plane, caravan?
April 2009
I have just come back from Sharm on my own. I'm English. I take people as I find them and had a great time, found the men very polite, helpful and respectful. It was a few Italians that I found lech's. I did meet an Egyptian man working at my hotel I really like me a lot and talked about wanting to see me in the future and asked me to go over again and stay with him next time. He seemed pretty straight about what he wanted out of life and how the age difference doesn't mean anything to him, I am 15 years older but I really don't look it. His mother is 10 years older than his dad. I know that many people who stayed at this place over the years, have made good comments about him. I think he comes from a good family as one of his parents is a doctor. Everything is screaming at me that don't get involved with an Egyptian man and how can he feel so strongly after only knowing me one week. couldn't stand the hot weather in the summer over there even if I did think about staying there anyway- and I don't know him at all really but he is such a lovely person and I can't stop thinking about him and the fact that I would like to be with him and wonder about going over again but maybe not staying with him but finding somewhere else to stay and see how we feel then. Really I am quite worldly and not an idiot. Then I read things on net about some marrying canadian women to get over to Canada and I think maybe I should forget it. I've not gone away on my own for years and I'd probably meet someone wherever I went anyway. I do find English blokes a bit boring, no passion. Only had a kiss with the bloke but there was more passion in that than anything I've experienced in England for a long time. Not really sure what I'm asking here, but surely its like anywhere and there are some men that are untrustworthy and some not.
Would appreciate some advice.

hi Viv just a bit of advice it is safer to go with another person to Alexandra as it is a very busy. I understand u wanting to meet up with a boy there but be aware of the dangers that r there when r on ur own there, it is not safe. I was there with my husband and found the place not only intimidating but the female waitress dont like western women so for u to go with the boy if u dont know his family,if u r in trouble there will be no help for u, the boy will leave u to fend for urself as justice is hard there. Thiefs galore there. BE VERY CAREFUL. Evie

I met an Egyptian man in February in Sharm and I have been back to see him, he is a lot younger than I am, but we look very good together - and the age difference does not matter to him. I think the age difference would be more likely to be commented upon in England than in Egypt. He wants nothing from me but to be with me - and I trust him. I love the people, they are very friendly, although the culture is sometimes a little hard to understand - but be warned - it is very frustrating trying to conduct a relationship between England and Egypt - the whole process is not for the faint hearted, just trying to carry on a conversation with bad and expensive telephone lines is a pain - especially if your guy does not speak good English. I am learning arabic and trying to understand his religion and he is getting better at English. So what I am trying to say is be a little wary, use common sense, but after all love is the same anywhere in the world, and I love my egyptian guy to bits !!
May 2009
Well ladies - I have travelled in and around Cairo for work ten times in the last years. I am 68, white with brown hair, bright eyes, not overweight. I would find it very, very risky not to say stupid to start any "staying with" an Egyptian man in Egypt. And kisses in the corridors of a hotel would be ridiculous in a moslem country! This is something which would never, ever happen with a decent egyptian woman. Remember that it is a completely different culture where virginity, no sex before marriage, no going out with the other sex etc are items which are respected. Basically kissing and sex outside marriage can only be had with foreign women, who will not be taken seriously anyway. Don't be surprised if you get an infection of some kind or if you will be asked for money to help his family .
Of course you should dress conservatively, no matter your age and no matter where you go. Don't walk around alone, they know exactly how easily we are attracted to their socalled passion and different, exotic way of life. Long skirts, cover your arms, no see-through tops etc and keep your money in a money belt.
The Egytians are very friendly peaople, but don't ruin things for yourself by behaving as if you don't realise that you are in the moslem world. A French female tourist was just killed (in April) when fanatics threw a bomb at tourists in one of the big Mosques where I have walked so often.........

hi, can anyone give me some advice, i met an egyptian lawyer in egypt on the internet last year we have talked used cam to cam home phone texting i want to visit him very much he says he loves me and i love him its been a year now for us and we want to meet face to face very very soon now could someone give me some advice please we want to be together and get married.
May 2009
Go to his town and make sure that you will be allowed to enter his home. See if he's married! Don't accept that you stay in a hotel and he'll come and visit you. In that way he can have at least one moslem wife and five children and you are sitting a hotel sobbing.
And see if he's really a lawyer. It's big fun in moslem countries for men to keep western women interested by promising marriage etc. They are laughing their heads off when they describe to one another how naive these women are. But have a go and keep this forum informed.. Good luck.
May 2009
thanks for your input, but this man has also asked that he will come to me also if i would perfere . I have mentioned to stay at a hotel there but he says he will have a place for me and him only to live and that he will marry me at the airport as soon as i arrive. he has mentioned to me about staying in his home . I have his street address and he has given me his passport # and has aked me so many times for me to have him checked out and he is not married and never been he is 27 years old.but he has give me all his private information. I have met his mom, brother, sister and their kids on cam on internet and have talked to his family. Ive heard a lot about egypt men but i hope he is realy true if not oh well i will get over it. what does anyone think.
May 2009
i also want to visit egypt anyway even if this man is married so realy i still would love to visit this country and see some interesting sights. I will always wonder what if ya know if i dont go and visit and meet him. and see egypt ive always wanted to visit egypt for many years before i started talking to him since last year. so i guess i will find out pretty soon.
May 2009
Hi! I too have fallen in love with an egyptian man, over the internet. I am hoping to go and see him very soon. he is in cairo, in school which is ending in 2 weeks he is hoping to come over here to be with me because we want to get married. egyptian men will make you fall in love with them because of the way they treat women. he says he loves me more then anything. and i believe him and trust him very much. he is teaching me arabic and his culture, and i am teaching him about mine. i couldnt imagine being without him in my life. if anybody is in love with an egyptian man please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com. Thanks
May 2009
when thinking of marrying an Egyptian, Muslim man you have to be aware that you will have to convert to Islam as well.
now I don't know if these cyber love stories are true, but you have to be very careful not to get tricked into marrige just for someone to have a new passport so he can travel and leave Egypt.
May 2009
Hi egypt love, i know how you feel i am very cautious about internet relationships my guy i love him so much. I will be going sometime soon to meet him in person. But is your guy so jealous and possessive of you coz mine sure is.
Mine is also teaching me arabic and i teach him some english but mine is not in school. I want to visit egypt to and the sights for my vacation since i graduated from college last week, MY guy also lives in cairo i think we should chat sometime, my yahoo is email@example.com maybe they might know eachother. feel free to im me on messenger or in this forum. If you dont mind i will add you to my messenger list ok.
May 2009
men are liars!
May 2009
Hi shady, I value your input i know some about muslims and their ways. Mine does want to marry me but doesn't realy matter to him where we live. He loves egypt and i love the united states which if marriage was to take place then it i feel sooner or later would become an conflict between us , then maybe not i dont know. I know he does not seem to be using me to get in the states ive known him for a year now .
And if he wanted to get in the states he could of many many times by other women or friends and i firmley believe he is a lawyer in cairo, he can have many things done.
I just dont like the idea of getting married as soon as i get there at the airport where he will be waiting for me becoz of his beliefs he insists he will not have any relationship with me unless we are married I dont know i guess i will find out soon.
May 2009
I love my Egyptian man with all my heart and could spend the rest of my life by his side always and be proud anywhere i go with him and we want kids together also. We love eachother nothing anyone else could say to me would not stop my heart from loving him and nothing could stop him from loving me. That would be something for me and him to decide its our life.
May 2009
don't get married in the airport
however what you said is true about nothing happening unless you gus are married, and to get married you will have to covert to Islam, so if this what you are ready to do, then go ahead, if you think it's a dead end, the right thing to do is end it b4 it really starts.
May 2009
Egyptian man , why do you say men are liars when you are a man or are you a gentelmen and dont want to see maybe women hurt. Im a very good woman ,i work hard take care of my home put myself through college and have an associates degree in law enforcement and im single im also not a young girl ive been married before. Ad very badly abused by my american husband and almost died many times by his hand. Im now divorced from him looking to have a life with a man that will treat me like a woman instead of a punchin bag.
I dont suppose i should have posted this kind of personal info on here but i did.
May 2009
I have a friend who initially met her current husband online. He is Egyptian, we are American. She flew to see him several times before they were married. They never had any "relations" before marriage as was with his Muslim religion. However, she still has never converted to Muslim and has no intentions of doing so. They have been living here in the US for 3 years now. She is a typical outspoken American woman. He doesn't control her, or act jealous. If anything, he treats her like a princess. She says "she is living the fairy tale". I have been talking to a friend of theirs who still lives in Egypt and he has treated me with nothing but respect and adoration. We have discussed the possibility of marriage in the future, but have agreed that I will always be a Christian, and will not always do as I am told, and will never cover my head or face. He does not have a problem with that. I think each person is an individual. I have friends here from Muslim countries. Some are jealous, protective, and controlling, and some are quite the opposite. You have to go with your instinct, but don't let sweet talk override your common sense. And absolutely, under no circumstances should you get married in the airport. Something is strange there. And I most certainly would not sign anything written in Arabic. Atleast not without having an American attorney translate and interpret it first. If your guy loves you, he will understand, and there will be no rush to do anything such as get married, or sign something immediately upon your arrival. It took my friend 1 1/2 years just to process the paperwork to get her husband her from Egypt. Something is wrong with the airport guy.
May 2009
I think Sage77 here just put a guide line
and I agree with every part, I am an Egyptian guy and what I hate is when a few uneducated selfish few just ruin it for all, and then Egyptians get a bad reputation.
Egypt's constitution is mostly reflected upon with Islam, therefore there is no way a Christian lady could marry a Muslim guy (and vice versa) with out the christian party converting, unless they leave the country and get the paper work done else where.
so I really hope those guys are true, and really i would like everthing to go well, Egyptians are very very kind people, loving and for Egyptians, family is one of the most important things.
just keep us posted
and like sage said, no signing NADA!!
and an American attorny is a brilliant idea
good luck girls, wish you all the best.
May 2009
Here are two great websites I just found regarding marriage & womens rights in Egypt.
I hope this helps!
May 2009
Shady...if you truly were Egyptian, then you would no that what you are saying is VERY incorrect...a muslim man can marry a non muslim woman without her having to convert...forum members, the proof is out there, just google it! I know this for a fact, as does every single person who has lived on this side of the world for a while or a person who has some knowledge of Islam would know (not to mention that I know muslim men personally are married to non muslim women who have not converted). So please do not mislead or speak of issues that you are unsure of.

Banned Books Read-In Brings Censorship to Light
Passages Read from 'Harry Potter' and 'Huck Finn' to 'Decameron' and 'The Day No Pigs Would Die'
October 2, 2012
Patti Kinsinger, reference librarian, reads from Sherman Alexie's "Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian."
More than three-dozen Wilmington College students, faculty and staff stopped by Watson Library Monday (Oct. 1) to read, listen, contemplate and enjoy homemade desserts at the annual Banned Books Read-in.
Books that have been censored by some local school or library boards somewhere in the United States received center stage as persons read passages to illustrate freedom of thought as an American value.
The event was held in conjunction with the National Library Association's 30th anniversary observance of Banned Books Week.
Gloria Flaherty, emeritus professor of education, hosted the event — and provided the treats.
Jean Mulhern, director of the library, said Flaherty described why certain books have been challenged in spite of their overriding merits and teachable moments.
"She cautioned us to always respect the individual parent's or reader's choice not to read a particular book, but never to allow that choice to be denied to others," Mulhern said.
This year's event featured readings from such perennial classics as To Kill a Mockingbird and Huck Finn, but also included The Day No Pigs Would Die, Decameron, Our Bodies – Ourselves, A Wrinkle in Time, Leaves of Grass, the Harry Potter series, Lord of the Rings and Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian.
Watson Library staff complemented the Read-in with a dramatic poster and book display.

One of those nights
1. My iron had died. The lights were still lit but it was not heating up. This is the THIRD Black and Decker iron that has done this the past 3 years. The first two I had replaced by B&D because I'd had them such a short amount of time. (This involves a crazy story for another day.) So by the time I got this one I've been extra careful with it - only plugged it in a surge protector, etc. Has anyone else had this problem??
2. Then I realized that the outer borders on these blocks were a different shade of white! (I'm not sure if you can tell in the picture or not.) I hadn't noticed it in the bright daylight, but in the evening it was glaringly apparent. And since I was making this for the store where I work, there was no way I could leave it. So, out came the seam-ripper. So much for being productive.
16 comments:
oh, that stinks! Yes, you can tell that those are 2 different whites. : (ReplyDelete
I have a Rowenta iron that is at least 7 yrs old - I highly recommend it. It is a bit pricey, but I think it's worth it if it lasts so long.
Oh no! That must have been disappointing. I can tell in the pic that there is a very slight difference.ReplyDelete
That is too bad! I loathe "unsewing". It drives me crazy!ReplyDelete
Don't you hate that? I'll be sewing along and I'm like "hey, this is going really easy" then I realize something is totally messed up.ReplyDelete
Oh no, but I like the two different whites. The same thing happened to me when I made my wonky log cabin quilt and I just left it like that.ReplyDelete
I didn't see the whites right away, but when I looked I did see it. Rats!ReplyDelete
I did the same thing a couple of months ago...somehow some Kona snow got mixed in with Kona white...and so I had to spend an hour with the seam ripper taking several pieces out and replacing them! It's so frustrating to make those kind of mistakes!ReplyDelete
There must have been something in the air because my iron went out on Thursday too! I can't live without my iron. We have all been wrinkled and no projects are getting done in the mean time.ReplyDelete
I was thinking of getting the Rowenta from Costco. It's funny that Consumer Reports likes the B & D and gives it high marks for durability.
Oh I totally feel for you! All you can do is put on a fun chick flick and rip away. Good luck!ReplyDelete
That's frustrating! Sometimes I wish my iron would die so I could get another one. LOLReplyDelete
Oh no. I know all about those nights... I hope that you are making progress.ReplyDelete
I'm so sorry to hear that Amy! I hate unpicking, but I sure spend a ot of time doing it. :)ReplyDelete
I got a rowenta iron on sale at Target and love it! It is so much better than the other irons I've had. I think costco has one in stock for about $50 right now.
Oh Amy, I am so sorry! What a pain to have to unpick all of that. I bought a Rowenta iron a while back and it has worked like a dream for me. It was a little bit more money but it has been worth it.ReplyDelete
oh no!! Seam ripping is definitely not on my "favorite things to do" list! Good luck!ReplyDelete
Well then...if it must be ripped hope you have a seam ripper you really like. So sorry...true bummer!ReplyDelete
Bummer!! Those sort of things happen just when you get going! Did you find a new iron yet?? Hope so :)ReplyDelete

Nationwide alerts customers to £42m in forgotten cash
Sunday 28 October 2007
Nationwide building society, the UK's second-largest savings provider, wants to reunite customers with money held in dormant accounts.
Approximately £42m is held with the society that the rightful owners have either forgotten about or don't know exists. An account is deemed dormant by Nationwide if there has been no transaction on it in the past 15 years.
As a first step in making people aware of neglected assets, the society will be sending out 24,000 letters to the last known address of dormant account holders. Furthermore, Nationwide said it would be appointing a search agent to trace customers with whom contact has been lost.
"By contacting Nationwide members who have not transacted on their banking or savings account for over 15 years, we hope to increase the number of people reunited with lost or forgotten money," said Stuart Bernau, the society's executive director.
Last year, the Halifax began a similar scheme. So far, customers have claimed around £6m from dormant accounts.
Meanwhile, the Government is to launch the unclaimed assets scheme in 2009. Under this initiative, money in dormant accounts held with UK banks and building societies will be transferred to good causes, although the rightful owners will still be able to claim their cash.

Control backyard clutter with sheds and other storage
Made from resin, steel or wood, sheds offer sizable storage options for your backyard. Manufacturers produce these storage solutions with size constraints in mind. The smallest backyard sheds only measure about 10 feet while the larger sizes require the availability of a space measuring about 12 feet by 16 feet. Do not let smaller sizes fool you. With the help of clever storage accessories, you can get at least 205 cubic feet of storage space out of the smaller sheds. On the other hand, the largest sheds yield an average of 2,527 cubic feet of storage space. Outdoor sheds are perfect to store, not only those unmarked boxes from when you first moved, but also large lawn equipment, like riding mowers, and other lawn equipment.
Choose a shed that blends into the backyard. A patio storage shed is tall and fits neatly into a corner of your patio. There it can hold tall gardening instruments and the broom you use to sweep the patio. A utility shed fits against the back wall of your property and holds your lawnmower and wheelbarrow. A large storage building becomes a focal point in the landscape. You would not be the first homeowner to decorate the area around it with ornamental flowerbeds and a small stone footpath for maximum visual appeal.
While you are neatly putting away the bulky gardening tools in a shed, consider grouping your outdoor furniture underneath one of the many gazebos that Sears offers. Measuring between 10 feet by 10 feet or 13 feet by 13 feet, these aesthetically pleasing structures provide sun shelter as well as protection against a light rain. Some models come with sheer curtains to keep out mosquitoes at night. Others also feature built-in lights for ambiance after dark. When you group your chaise lounge chairs and bistro set underneath a gazebo, the seating arrangements naturally blend into the landscape as a focal point.
Rely on the space provided by so many greenhouses to store your potting shed accessories as well as plants. Depending on the size of the greenhouse, there will be ample shelf space to store soil, pots, small gardening hand tools and seeds. Erect a temporary structure if you only intend to raise a few plants from seeds this season. If you anticipate raising plants for a number of seasons, set up a more permanent greenhouse that can withstand rain, wind and snow. For the shortest term solution, consider the movable patio plant stand with the poly cover. It lets you protect a select group of small plants from the elements until they are ready for planting.
Augment the available storage space of any product with outdoor storage accessories. Tool hooks and brackets keep tools with long handles organized. Corner shelves hold smaller stackable items. Loft storage shelves add usable space to the area just below your shed's roof.
We carry a wide variety of sheds, gazebos, greenhouses and outdoor storage accessories. There is no need to suffer the ill effects of a cluttered backyard. Buy one or more sheds, add additional storage products and set up everything this afternoon. By the end of the week, you will have finished organizing your backyard.

Black outbuildings that act as truncated garages line the path leading to the main house defined by white masonry boxed in by two bookends of sorts. Inside, exposed timber columns lend a natural aesthetic to the design while also establishing long sight lines, and extensive glazing ensures that both morning and evening light reaches the open plan interior.
A fireplace in the living area provides warmth during winter nights and creates a connection to the outdoor chimney terrace. By far our favorite feature of this colossal home, however, which steps down toward the lake in tandem with the natural slope, is the sod-topped sauna. An extension of the main house, the small white block has a green roof and a minimalist interior that promotes ultimate relaxation.
Although the footprint is larger than we like to see for a family residence, this family has minimized landscaping and clear cutting, thereby preserving this special space for generations to come.

yesterday in the Vimuttimagga I read
"The walker in hate who has keen faculties, being one endowed with
wisdom, should practise the (meditation of the) special sphere. Thus should

Sadly "special sphere" is neither used a second time in the book nor defined - does anyone know what is meant by it?

New data from the federal government show, for example, that the cost of a joint replacement can range from $5,304 in Ada, Okla., to $223,373 in Monterey, Calif.
The data, collected by Medicare from more than 3,000 U.S. hospitals, contains some good news about prices in Maryland and Virginia.
The Washington Post crunched the state-by-state numbers for 10 common hospital procedures and issues -- including major lower joint replacements, heart failure and pneumonia -- and found average prices in Maryland the lowest in the nation.
The Post's interactive graphic comparing state averages also shows the average price in Virginia is lower than national averages in all cases.
In D.C., the average prices for those hospital procedures match or exceed national averages in seven of 10 cases.

I've worn Prada Amber for the past several years and never tire of the scent. It is subtle, but very sexy. I don't like flowery perfume and this is not at all flowery..the undertones of patchouli and sandalwood are really nice. I think it's well worth the price!!

Prada Amber is a very sophisticated scent. A perfect mixture of fragrant oils, patchouli and sandalwood. It also works for men ...I get a lot of compliments when I wear this. I wear a sun lotion I mix with patchouli oil during the day and layer Prada Amber over it -it lasts for many hours and I can enjoy it myself!!

I usually buy the Body Lotion because when I use it I have the scent coming out all day long. It's great and I always get the question..."what fragrance are you wearing"??

I started wearing this fragrance when I bought the body lotion. It was very fresh, flowery but not too pungent or too sweet. I decided to try the Eau de Parfume. I really like it! There is a pretty, clean note to it but nothing too green with just enough warmth to give it some character. The sweetness is just one facet of many and it wears well for about 5-6 hours.
