Well, they bisected the commit and found the bug having entered the tree on May 22. According to the thread on lkml the bug has now been fixed!
Nothing to see here, move along.
At least we made >10k views and lots of $$$ for phoronix. Maybe they should hire a kernel or xorg developer to provide insider info for better quality articles.
Why not bind the kernel tracker to handle these automatically?
Something like:
if regression found & over x %, wait y days, if still there, bisect, and email whoever is to blame.
opt-in is probably better than opt-out.
I'll just add that it should include positive regressions as well; I know I would like to have an email saying my patch increased XYZ by 15% ;)
Michael, now after the bug was fixed...any improvement noted by Phoromatic yet?
So, where's the offending commit pinpointed? I'm not even a kernel developer, and I would have been interested in reading the attached changelog.Quote:
As we have already shown before, using the Phoronix Test Suite and its components we can also narrow down to the individual commit(s) that introduced these serious performance issues by layering the Phoronix Test Suite's automated support atop the git-bisect command to automatically traverse the tree and perform tests at each step of the process. We may do so again in this instance -- time or incentive permitting -- to track down this newest problem. Alternatively, you can too since the Phoronix Test Suite is indeed open-source. It is already can be as simple as installing a kernel prior to 2010-05-20, a post-2010-05-22 kernel, and then running a command like phoronix-test-suite benchmark hmmer.
Also, finding such commit would have made much more impact, specially if sent to mailing list -- "so there I have this commit, when I merge it applications X, Y and Z are 50% slower. Explain that to me.".
The answer to that can't be "Ubuntu's bloatness is to blame".

Now available in discrete multi-channel surround SACD as well as the CD recording!
Paavo Järvi, one of the most sought after conductors of his generation, will become the twelfth music director of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra in September 2001.
The 37-year old Järvi has been called "one of the young Turks of conducting," and has earned praise from critics on both sides of the Atlantic. Recently, a London critic wrote that "one of the great conducting careers of the 21st century is now, unquestionably, underway."
This is Jä:rvi's recording debut both with the Cincinnati Symphony and with Telarc. Berlioz's Symphonie fantastique and Love Scene from Romeo et Juliette comprised the first program that the maestro conducted in Cincinnati after being named the music director designate of the orchestra. In a concert review, the Cincinnati Enquirer called the performance "electrifying...Mr. Järvi's dynamics were wide-ranging; every accent and crescendo was etched in bold relief. He propelled the music with incisive rhythmic control..."
Symphonie fantastique embodies the spirit of Romanticism in its huge emotional landscape, ranging from obsessive passion to frenzied demonic nightmares. In February 1830, Berlioz wrote to his sister that he was "about to commence my grand symphony...in which the development of my infernal passion [for actress Harriet Smithson] will be depicted." The young composer had pursued Harriet single-mindedly after seeing her perform in Shakepeare's Hamlet and Romeo and Juliet, but she had ignored his passionate overtures and rebuffed him. It was in a spirit of bitter, unrequited love that Symphonie fantastique was created. Berlioz provided an explicit program to accompany the work, which details the progression of his doomed romance from passion to despair.
The Love Scene from Romeo et Juliette, a musical representation of the play's famous balcony scene, was claimed by Berlioz to be his favorite among his own compositions. It is taken from another large work, a "dramatic symphony" for chorus, soloists, and orchestra. The work was composed during a happier time for Berlioz—he had been given a handsome sum of money by the famed Niccolo Paganini, a great admirer of his compositions—and was able to pay off his debts. Berlioz conducted the successful premiere in 1839 in Paris, only distressed by the fact that Paganini was unable to attend and never heard the work he had helped to promote.
Born in Tallin, Estonia, Paavo Järvi moved to the United States at age 17, and studied conducting at the Curtis Institute of Music, as well as at the Los Angeles Philharmonic Institute with Leonard Bernstein.
Mr. Järvi has held the post of Principal Guest Conductor with both the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic and the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra. He has had an impressive list of conducting engagements with orchestras around the world, including the New York Philharmonic, Berlin Philharmonic, London Philharmonic, San Francisco Symphony, Philadelphia Orchestra, and many others.
Upcoming recording projects for Paavo Järvi and the Cincinnati Symphony on Telarc will include the music of Tubin and Stravinsky.

Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
A Thousand Splendid Suns is a breathtaking story set against the volatile events of Afghanistan's last thirty years -- from the Soviet invasion to the reign of the Taliban to post-Taliban rebuilding -- that puts the violence, fear, hope and faith of this country in intimate, human terms. It is a tale of two generations of characters brought jarringly together by the tragic sweep of war, where personal lives -- the struggle to survive, raise a family, find happiness -- are inextricable from the history playing out around them.
Propelled by the same storytelling instinct that made The Kite Runner a beloved classic, A Thousand Splendid Suns is at once a remarkable chronicle of three decades of Afghan history and a deeply moving account of family and friendship. It is a striking, heart-wrenching novel of an unforgiving time, an unlikely friendship, and an indestructible love -- a stunning accomplishment.
We wanted to spread the word on the book as widely, and as soon, as we could. See below for an exclusive excerpt from A Thousand Splendid Suns and early reviews of the book from some of our top customer reviewers.--The Editors
|An Exclusive Excerpt from A Thousand Splendid Suns
|Early Buzz from Amazon.com Top Reviewers
Joanna Daneman: "His style is deceptively simple and clear, the characters drawn deftly and swiftly, his themes elemental and huge. This is a brilliant writer and I look forward to more of his work." Read Joanna Daneman's review
Seth J. Frantzman: "Khaled Hosseini has done it again with 'A Thousand Splendid Sons', presenting a new, dashing and dark tale of two generations of women trapped in a loveless marriage, bracketed by great events." Read Seth J. Frantzman's review
Donald Mitchell: "Khaled Hosseini has succeeded in capturing many important historical and contemporary themes in a way that will make your heart ache again and again. Why will your reaction be so strong? It's because you'll identify closely with the suffering of almost all the characters, a reaction that's very rare to a modern novel." Read Donald Mitchell's review
Lawrance M. Bernabo: "All things considered, following up on a successful first novel is probably harder than coming up with the original effort and Hosseini could have rested on his laurels in the manner of Harper Lee, but as "A Thousand Splendid Suns" amply proves, this native of Kabul has more stories to tell about the land of Afghanistan." Read Lawrance M. Bernabo's review
Amanda Richards: "There are parts of this book that will have grown men surreptitiously blotting the tears that are on the verge of overflowing their ducts, and by the time you get to the middle, you won't be able to put it down. Hosseini's simple but richly descriptive prose makes for an engrossing read, and in my opinion, "A Thousand Splendid Suns" is among the best I have ever read. This is definitely not one to be missed." Read Amanda Richards's review
N. Durham: "All that being said, "A Thousand Splendid Suns" is a bit more enjoyable than Hosseini's previous "The Kite Runner", and once again he manages to give we readers another glimpse of a world that we know little about but frequently condemn and discard. However, if you were one of the many that for some reason absolutely loved "The Kite Runner", chances are that you'll love this as well." Read N. Durham's review
John Kwok: "Khaled Hosseini's "A Thousand Splendid Suns" is a genuine instant literary classic, and one destined to be remembered as one of 2007's best novels. It should be compared favorably to such legendary Russian novels like "War and Peace" and "Doctor Zhivago"." Read John Kwok's review
Thomas Duff: "Normally I'm more of an action-adventure type reader when it comes to novels and recreational reading. But I was given the chance to read A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini (author of The Kite Runner), so I decided to try something out of my normal genre. I am *so* glad I did. This is a stunning and moving novel of life and love in Afghanistan over a 30 year period." Read Thomas Duff's review
Charles Ashbacher: "This book manages to simultaneously capture the history of Afghanistan over the last thirty years and how women are treated in conservative Islamic societies.... In many ways it is a sad book, your heart goes out to these two women in their hopeless struggle to have a decent life with a brutal man in an unforgiving, intolerant society." Read Charles Ashbacher's review
W. Boudville: "Hosseini presents a piognant view into the recent tortured decades of the Afghan experience. From the 1970s, under a king, to the Soviet takeover, to the years of resistance. And then the rise and fall of the Taliban. An American reader will recognise many of the main political events. But to many Americans, Afghanistan and its peoples and religion remain an opaque and troubling mystery." Read W. Boudville's review
Mark Baker: "I tend to read plot heavy books, so this character study was a definite change of pace for me. I found the first half slow going at times, mainly because I knew where the story was going. Once I got into the second half, things really picked up. The ending was very bittersweet. I couldn't think of a better way to end it." Read Mark Baker's review
Grady Harp: "Hosseini takes us behind those walls for forty some years of Afghanistan's bloody history and while he does not spare us any of the descriptions of the terror that continues to besiege that country, he does offer us a story that speaks so tenderly about the fragile beauty of love and devotion and lasting impression people make on people." Read Grady Harp's review
Robert P. Beveridge: "When I was actively reading it, the pages kept turning, and more than once I found myself foregoing food or sleep temporarily to get in just one more chapter. When I had put it down, however, I felt no particular compulsion to pick it back up again. It's a good book, and a relatively well-written one, but it's not a great book. Enjoyable without leaving a lasting impression." Read Robert P. Beveridge's review
B. Marold: "While the events in Afghanistan and the wider world create a familiar framework for the stories of these two women, it is nothing more than a framework. The warp and weft of everyday life, and the interaction of the two women and their close relatives is the heartbeat of the story." Read B. Marold's review
Daniel Jolley: "Khaled Hosseini has written a majestic, sweeping, emotionally powerful story that provides the reader with a most telling window into Afghan society over the past thirty-odd years. It's also a moving story of friendship and sacrifice, giving Western readers a rare glimpse into the suffering and mistreatment of Afghan women that began long before the Taliban came to power."

Cincinnati, OH — The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility, a national not-for-profit organization funded by distillers dedicated to fighting drunk driving and underage drinking, brought a life-saving lesson to students at Mason High School today. Brandon Silveria, a young man who was involved in an alcohol-related crash at age 17 just before his high school prom, and his father, Tony, spoke to students about the importance of "making the right choice" about alcohol — and if students are under the age of 21 — the only responsible decision is not to drink.
The Foundation worked with the World Association of Alcohol Beverage
Industries (WAABI) to bring the presentation to the Greater Cincinnati
area, and together the organizations will distribute "Brandon Tells His
Story," a 28-minute video that tells the story of Brandon Silveria's
crash and his recovery, to high school principals in Greater
Cincinnati. In addition to the video distribution, the Silverias
visited Princeton High and Hamilton High yesterday, and they will
continue to St. Bernard High after the presentation at Mason this
Last year (2003) 75 youths under the age of 21 were killed in alcohol-related traffic crashes in Ohio, and there were 33 deaths among 15-20 year old drinking drivers, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
"The good news is that over the past 20 years, the number of underage drinkers has decreased. For example, underage drinking among high school seniors has declined 29% proportionally from 70% in 1982 to 50% in 2001, according to government surveys. I'm pleased to work with WAABI to bring our life-saving message to Greater Cincinnati," said Jay Hibbard of The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility. "During our visit, we hope to raise awareness about this serious problem, and by doing so, save lives in Ohio."
During the program, Silveria told students his wrenching story of how as a high school student he had everything a teenager could want — a job, girlfriend and plans for the future — until he had a few drinks at a party and chose to drive home. After falling asleep at the wheel, crossing the centerline and crashing into a tree, Brandon was left in a coma for three months and spent several years in rehabilitation. Silveria was so badly injured that basic motor functions such as walking, talking and swallowing had to be re-learned. He has permanent brain injury and suffers from dangerous seizures. Brandon's presentations continue to receive standing ovations from students across the country.
"What you become depends on the choices that you make," said Brandon Silveria. "When I was seventeen, I had a job and a girlfriend. Because of my crash, I lost both of them. My hope is that by sharing my experiences with other young people, I can prevent others from being hurt or killed."
Through educational efforts such as the Silveria lecture and video program, The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility educates students across the country about the hazards of underage drinking and driving. Since Brandon and his father Tony have become spokespeople for The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility, they have addressed well over one million high school students nationwide and have been featured on such television programs as "Rescue 911," NBC's "Today," and "Leeza."
Dan Teague added, "As the President of the Tri State chapter of WAABI, it is my duty to do my part to educate our community about the dangers of underage drinking. The Brandon Silveria lecture program is excellent in that students walk into the auditorium, assuming their hour will be spent like any other assembly. It is amazing to see the students take in every word Brandon says; you can hear a pin drop when Brandon is at the podium. He is an amazing young man, and I am glad our organizations have partnered to bring his story to the greater Cincinnati area."
To request a free copy of "Brandon Tells His Story" or for more information on the Silveria program call (800) 431-4499. The 30-minute video, which won an award from the American Medical Association, is accompanied by supporting curriculum materials and can be used with large or small groups of teens.

|MPAA accused of hiring a hacker
|Source: CNet News.com - Posted by Efren J. Belizario
A lawsuit filed Wednesday accuses the Motion Picture Association of America of hiring a hacker to steal information from a company that the MPAA has accused of helping copyright violators.
The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court for the Central District of California by Torrentspy.com parent Valence Media, doesn't identify the man the company says was approached by an MPAA executive. But the suit calls the man a former associate of one of the plaintiffs and alleges that he was asked to retrieve private information on Torrentspy.com, a search engine that directs people to download links.

4. Legolas
Taking up his watch, Legolas stepped out onto the rock that allowed him to see all the land about their camp. While he maintained vigilance of his surroundings, after a time, his mind meandered back to a thought that had been niggling at him throughout the day. Something had begun to surface before he was interrupted by duties to the Fellowship. Where had his thoughts been?
Oh, yes. Lórien. And Imladris. And Mirkwood. Mirkwood was the only realm of Elves so beset by darkness. How was it Elrond and Celeborn and Galadriel were able to protect their realms so effortlessly? He did not understand. His father was a powerful elf. What could he lack?
Ah, that was where his thoughts had been headed. Perhaps the lords of Imladris and Lothlórien were aided somehow. Could it be a special aspect of the land that enabled them to repel Orcs or shielded their land from the creatures? Was the land more powerful than that of the Greenwood?
No, Legolas knew it was far more likely that their aid came to them from another source: the Elven Rings. All were powerful enough to wield a Ring and not be controlled by It. He'd always been certain Mithrandir held one. Another he had surmised was in Elrond's possession. Of the third he had been less sure.
Until now.
All that he had seen and felt while in Lothlórien now made sense, as parts of a puzzle he had only begun to try to solve suddenly fell into place. He was sure now how it was these elves maintained peace in their realms. They wore Rings of Power.
A flare of anger swept through him. How dare they? How dare they wear a Ring of Power, protecting their realms and their people from harm, while watching the elves of Mirkwood fight for their survival? All these centuries of struggle, so many lost lives. Why had not King Thranduil been given a Ring of Power? Surely he had a greater need for one than the others did. They had been stalked and killed by Orcs and deadly spiders for hundreds of years. And yet it did not have to be so!
A thought flitted across his mind then. Still taking shape, the nascent thought held an idea, a vision of possibility, for his land, for his people. And it held desire.
As Legolas stood on watch at the shores of the Anduin, his mind drifted to his homeland. Gradually, the vision in his mind changed. He saw his forest free of spiders, Orcs, and wargs. He saw his land flourishing and his palace shining as the jewel of the Wood. The trees no longer chanted a sorrowful song. Elves walked freely without fear; they were safe and at peace. They held feasts, where his friends and family were always by his side. The elves showed their gratitude towards Legolas for bringing this peace to the Greenwood by planting trees, bringing him gifts of metalwork and even jewels bought from the dwarves. His people pledged their loyalty to him, as did Elves of other realms. In return, he kept them all safe. He kept them all free. He kept them all.
Legolas was jolted from his reverie by those last thoughts, once again seeing the waters of the Anduin flowing past them as it made its way south. From where had such thoughts come? He held no desire to control the elves of Mirkwood or have the fealty of all Elves. He certainly had no desire for Dwarven jewels and trinkets. All that he desired was that Mirkwood be free. He would do anything to attain that. Anything. Perhaps taking control was necessary. At least then he could be sure they were all safe. No one would have to die.
As he toiled on the journey towards Mordor, his people might even now be falling to the pressing darkness of Dol Guldur. With the One Ring, he could make his land safe. Of course, he did not need the Ring; he did not desire It. But he could bring to his father the tool to free their land and recompense their years of battle. Bringing home the Ring would enable them to free their people. It was the most fitting course of action.
He was wrenched from his musings once more, this time seeing before him the hobbit Frodo looking back at him with fear-filled eyes. At first confused, horror gradually stole over him as he slowly realized what he was doing. Frodo's terror was for him - and his hands that were wrapped around Frodo's neck and the Ring. As his face slowly turned red then blue, Legolas suddenly felt a sharp pain to his head, and then he ceased to think of anything at all.
When he once again regained his senses, he found himself lying on the ground, looking up at Aragorn. Puzzled, he tried to rise, but Aragorn stopped him with a strong hand on his chest. "What happened?" the elf asked warily.
"What do you remember?" Aragorn replied somewhat sternly.
Legolas frowned in confusion. Aragorn looked at him with anxiety and anger, emotions he had not seen in his friend's eyes, not toward him. There was fear there, too, and perhaps a hint of disappointment. Wondering what he could have done to cause Aragorn's reaction, he became tense and felt a shiver of his own fear in response. He thought back... he was looking for something. He needed something - something for his father? It was important... it was precious. Suddenly his idle musings and what they propelled him to do came rushing back to him and he looked at Aragorn with a gasp. He swallowed before asking in no more than a whisper, "What have I done?"
"What do you remember?" Aragorn repeated firmly.
Legolas looked away in shame, afraid that his memories were all too accurate. He swallowed forcibly again, and murmured, "I tried to take It." Unable to confront the eyes of his friend, he shielded his face with an arm. "Did I hurt him?" he said more loudly, more anxious to know of Frodo's well-being than to discover whatever desire had previously gripped him. Hearing nothing, he turned back to face Aragorn.
Aragorn nodded slowly, confirming the elf's fears. Again Legolas tried to rise. "I must see him."
"No," Aragorn said, his unyielding hand holding him in place.
"Is he...?" Legolas could not finish the question for fear of the answer.
"I do not know yet. Boromir and Gimli are sitting with him. We will have to wait."
Legolas began panting, as full awareness of his actions came over him. "Like a snake It crept upon me, Aragorn, perfectly camouflaged in Its surroundings. I never saw that It had sunk Its teeth into me, until..." He faded off his defense, knowing it was useless.
Overwhelmed with his horror and shame, Legolas tried to scurry back towards the woods. Aragorn grabbed him from behind and wrapped his arms around him to keep him from fleeing. "I must get away, Aragorn!" the elf cried out desperately. "I must get away from the voice..."
"No! You cannot run from It! Peace, Legolas! Be still!"
"No! Let me go! I cannot stay-"
Aragorn held him more securely and waited for his surrender. "You can run all the way to Mirkwood, but you will not be free of It," Aragorn said quietly. "You must master your desire. You must learn what weakness the Ring found and fortify against It."
Legolas struggled now with no intent of escape. When he finally sagged in defeat against Aragorn, the Ranger continued. "The Ring speaks to all of us, Legolas. Now, tell me. What did It say to you?"
Legolas squeezed his eyes tightly against the memory of the alluring words. He pulled away from Aragorn, but the man held him tighter, prompting him again to answer. "That... that it ought not to be," he whispered reluctantly. "It ought not to be that my father was never given a Ring to succor our lands. While so many of our people die to protect them, the Elves of Lothlórien and Imladris enjoy their freedom. If my father held a Ring of Power, our people would not have to die."
Aragorn was silent for a moment. Legolas was unaware of the indignation that crept into his voice as he returned to the seductive thoughts the Ring had aroused in him, revealing to Aragorn how the Ring had slipped under Legolas's defenses. "What did the Ring show you? Did It show you a peaceful Mirkwood? A picture of serenity in the Greenwood? What did you see?"
Quietly, in small bursts of words he forced from his mouth, Legolas described his vision. "I saw my father, victorious against the Orcs and spiders. I was - he... we had peace. All was good."
"I hear the words you do not say. You do not see, Legolas, that by the time you had reached Mirkwood with the Ring in your possession, you would have decided that you were more suited to wield It than your father was. Indeed, you would have sought to rule Mirkwood and perhaps beyond.
"And what would become of Mirkwood, if you brought the Ring to your father? Do you not think Sauron would pursue It? Once he learned where It resided, he would descend upon Mirkwood with a force she has yet to face. You might see your father standing among you victorious, but though he might vanquish Sauron, he would stand amidst the bodies of your people, for all would perish. And your father would stand among you, his face filled with love - as he gazed upon his Ring. For he would no longer be the father you knew. No one can wield a Ring and be unchanged by It.
"Hear me now, Legolas. What the voice of the Ring failed to remind you of was the price for the freedom that the Elves of Lothlórien and Rivendell now enjoy. What do you think will become of those lands once we complete our journey and the Ring is destroyed?"
Legolas looked up, his gaze wandering to the forest around them, contemplating that question for the first time. What did it matter what happened to their lands? He would save Mirkwood and not concern himself with them.
Aragorn's words interrupted his wandering thoughts. "How have the Elves of Mirkwood managed to survive thus far against the darkness from the South?"
He needed no time to consider his answer. "By fighting day after day! And dying each day. That is how we have survived!"
"Yes!" Aragorn interrupted. "Fighting each day, with your own strength. Now I ask again. What will happen to the lands of Imladris and Lothlórien when we succeed in our Quest?" Legolas looked at him questioningly. "They will no longer have the Rings of Power to safeguard them. The outer world will encroach upon them. The lands will not remain as they are. They will fade, Legolas, and many of the Elves will sail. Even if we succeed, Lothlórien will no longer be the tranquil sanctuary it now is, and Imladris will become as any other wood in the forest, because their strength will be destroyed with the One Ring.
"Now, what do you suppose will be the fate of Mirkwood when the Ring is destroyed?"
As he pondered the question, a new sense of determination came over Legolas. Their hard-won strength would still be theirs. "We will be free of the darkness of Dol Guldur. Mirkwood will flourish and earn its true name, Greenwood the Great, once more." He hoped that when Aragorn looked upon him now, he saw once again his friend.
"Precisely. Mirkwood will survive, and your people will continue, with nothing but your own strength to aid you. And that will be your salvation." He looked more closely at Legolas and released some of his hold on him. "It found the only crack in your armor, Legolas: your love of your people. Remember who you are and It cannot seduce you again." Aragorn tested the elf by easing his hold on him once more. Legolas only sagged further as if in exhaustion.
"What must I do now? I cannot remain. I threaten Frodo with my very presence."
"You must remain. We need you, your bow, and your strength. Furthermore, to release you does not assure anyone's safety, not even yours. And I would rather I knew where you were and how you fared in the near future."
Legolas's heart grieved the loss of his friend's trust. "If you wish it, I shall stay. The rest of the Company, however, may not stand with you."
"I would say that is a matter for Frodo to decide."
Legolas's eyes widened and he quickly looked back to Aragorn. "I cannot -" he closed his eyes. "I cannot ask his forgiveness."
"But it is his to give, if he wishes," Aragorn said.
"And if he will not?"
"Then we will both accept his decision and alter our plans accordingly. But I would hear Frodo's word on this first, so let us see how he fares."
Legolas allowed himself to be pulled to his feet. With shame and fear, he approached the Company. An echo of the Ring's palaver made him shiver as he pushed the memory away. He had truly believed he would have been taking the Ring to save his people. Instead, he would have brought ruin to Mirkwood. Through his weakness, Sauron would have spread Darkness over all of Middle-earth.
Frodo might forgive him as Aragorn believed, and perhaps in time so would the rest of the Company, but his own forgiveness would be much harder to earn.

LOVE IT! The minute I got these, I loved them. The fit is perfection, and the material is so soft and stretchy--It almost feels like I'm wearing leggings! I actually went back and bought every 678 ankle jean there was! haha! November 14, 2013
Love This Item! I have several pairs of the skinny jeans, but the one thing that I really love about this pant is the style and material. The pant fits true to size, and, of course, can be dressed up/down. Awesome pant! July 28, 2013
Perfect ankle pants Loved the color and the fit. I have worn these with patterned tops and high heels. A great pair to wear whether day or night, spring or summer! July 25, 2013
Great find! I've been searching for ankle pants/capris for months and am so happy I tried these on! I'm on the shorter side (5'3), and also have short legs, but these fit me perfectly! I was daring and tried this vibrant color and have received endless compliments. These are light weight and great for the summer when you aren't in the mood for shorts. The color matches nearly every shirt in my closet. The size fits perfect to my normal size, so I would recommend getting your "normal" jean size. I also love the cute zippers near the ankles - easy to roll up! These were a great buy and I'm about to purchase the same in another color I love them so much! June 18, 2013
Great Denim! These are very flattering! I've tried on several other stores colored denim jeans and these are by far, the best fit and quality. They are soft, comfortable, and the zipper gives them a fun twist. I am 5'5 so these were a little longer on me than the model but fit really well. I highly recommend these jeans. June 18, 2013
Awesome pants! I ordered these online and was skeptical of the fit and color. When I got these in the mail, they were awesome! The fit is great and the color is true to the color online. I am 5'3 and wear a size 0. June 17, 2013
Love these pants They are super comfortable and the color is so fun! June 14, 2013
Perfect Fit!!! These capris hit me in exactly the right spot to flatter my legs. I am tall and have runners calves so it's hard to find a good capri. I will be buying more.Really soft and wearable. You can dress them up or wear them casual. Love them!! June 10, 2013

What color is this?
Q:A lot of your items are a slightly different color once they arrive than what they look like online. A description of the color, even as simple as coral, pink, navy would be helpful to make sure that the item is what I want and I won't end up returning them.

well, I don't understand your problem: you're getting the source code of the URL with the "getSourceFromUrl()"-method, that you can find here: http://code.huypv.net/2010/12/j2me-g...ml-source.html
and next you are searching for the part you want to find (check, that it is only available one time in the source code using your PC browser). This means, creating a substring from "begin of needed part" to "end of needed part".
now you need to remove all HTML tags from this code, and here I'm giving you the code I use for this:
(this method is built for up to 50 HTML tags in the source part, it is possible to modify it and use "while (note.indexOf("<") != -1)" instead of "for(...)", then also removing the if and else in the while...)Code://Remove HTML-Tags for (int i = 0; i < 50; i ++) { int beginTag = 0; int endTag = 0; if (note.indexOf("<") != -1) { beginTag = note.indexOf("<"); if (note.indexOf(">") != -1) { endTag = note.indexOf(">"); if (beginTag == 0) note = note.substring(endTag+1,note.length()); else note = note.substring(0,beginTag) + note.substring(endTag+1,note.length()); } } else { i = 50; } }
"note" is the substring you found before... and here you go...
I have my Html String http://pastebin.com/2VY4ZU5C ,from this i want to extract the Description Value in j2me,After Extraction my out put should look like? can any one help me?
President Pranab pay great tributes to Motilal Nehru on occasion of 150th birth anniversary. Pranab said institutions evolved by leaders like him should be strengthened instead of being destroyed.  He listed his achievements like his role in evolving of Public Accounts Committee and protecting independence of Legislature from the influence of the Executive by establishing a separate cadre for the Central Legislative Assembly, now Parliament. Calling himself a student of history, he said Motilal's Swaraj Party acted as a disciplined assault force in the Legislative Assembly and he was credited with evolving the system of a Public Accounts Committee which is now one of the most effective watchdogs over executive in matters of money and finance. Mukherjee also received the first set of coins and postal stamps released at the function to commemorate the event.
Have you applied thesuggestion?Code:while (note.indexOf("<") != -1)
Hi wizard and schumi,
thanks for reply,
yes,i have applied the while logic too,i got my description after parsing(the URL http://www.teluguone.com/news/conten...-20-17680.html) and removing html tags like this output http://pastebin.com/TXFyvhZE
Here my Logic which is used to get above Description(output):
String readUrl = ReadUrl.readUrl(URL);
int divIndex = readUrl.indexOf("
");
divIndex = readUrl.indexOf(">", divIndex);
int endDivIndex = readUrl.indexOf("
", divIndex);
content = readUrl.substring(divIndex + 1, endDivIndex);
//System.out.println("Content" + content);
while (content.indexOf("<") != -1){
int beginTag;
int endTag;
beginTag =content.indexOf("<");
endTag = content.indexOf(">");
if (beginTag == 0) {
content = content.substring(endTag +
1, content.length());
else {
content =content.substring(0, beginTag) + content.substring(endTag
+ 1, content.length());
String description = replace(content, """, "\"");
description = replace(description, " ", "");
description = replace(description, "'", "'");
description = replace(description, "'", "'");
description = replace(description, """, "\"");
description = replace(description, """, "\"");
description = replace(description, "–", "-");
description = replace(description, "&", "&");
System.out.println("Out" + description);

Yes, this output is correct for this attempt of removing tags.
The problem what you see comes from the XML comment in the document, the . Since this simple mechanism checks for < and > pairs, the extra < in the , and adjust the lengthsBecause of the identical structure of the two loops, you can of course extract the whole thing into a method if you like.Code:while (content.indexOf(""); if (beginTag == 0) { content = content.substring(endTag + 3, content.length()); } else { content =content.substring(0, beginTag) + content.substring(endTag + 3, content.length()); } } while (content.indexOf("<") != -1) { int beginTag = content.indexOf("<"); int endTag = content.indexOf(">"); if (beginTag == 0) { content = content.substring(endTag + 1, content.length()); } else { content =content.substring(0, beginTag) + content.substring(endTag + 1, content.length()); } }
Hi Wizard,
Thanks for your reply..

MPA Student Council
Applications for the integrated approach to the MPA are accepted for fall semesters only. Here are the steps McCombs students will need to complete to apply to this unique BBA + MPA program.
1. Preregister as usual in the spring for a full load of fall semester classes. If admitted into the integrated MPA, students will be instructed as to which specific accounting courses should be added during the regular add/drop period.
2. Make sure you meet the following criteria:
3. Complete the following prerequisites:
NOTE: Priority in admissions decisions will be given to applicants who have completed program prerequisites by the application deadline. Admission may be restricted by the availability of instructional resources.
4. Complete and submit your online application by June 1 (the application will be available by April 1). Recommendation letters are not required. You do not need to wait until spring grades are available to apply because these grades will be verified during the summer.
5. Submit your statement of purpose essay within the online application:
"Describe your interest in the Master in Professional Accounting program and explain how it will assist you in achieving your goals."
"Describe your interest in the Master in Professional Accounting program and explain how it will assist you in achieving your goals."
6. Upload your resume in the application system. Your resume should be saved in one of the following formats: (.doc, .docx, .xls, .xlsx, .pdf, .txt).
7. Wait for the decision. Admissions decisions typically are released in late June or early July. Applicants will be notified via e-mail once the decision has been posted.
For International Applicants:
English skills are essential for success in the MPA program, and your official scores for either the Internet-based TOEFL or IELTS must be on your UT record prior to the application deadline (even if you were allowed to waive the TOEFL or IELTS for admission to UT Austin).
Applicants from countries recognized by the GIAC as English-only speaking countries are allowed to waive this requirement. Our preferred minimum for the TOEFL is 105 overall, with a minimum of 24 for each individual section, or minimum band scores of 7.5 for the IELTS. If your previously-submitted test scores do not accurately reflect your current English proficiency, we strongly recommend that you retake the test and increase your scores.

UNH prof's book nominated for $50g prize: Eliga Gould a finalist for George Washington Book Prize
Tuesday, February 26, 2013
DURHAM — To understand the American Revolution, professor Eliga Gould argues it's important to first study what happened to another group of colonists in the New World — the Acadians.
A new look at America's birth
Some historians like to jump around from one topic to the next, but Gould has spent most of his career focused on the American Revolution.
America on the global stage
In his book, Gould argues Americans tend to downplay the role foreign powers played in the formation of the country. Gould said he takes issue with the notion that Americans made their own history solely on their own terms.
