GPU accelerations allows PhotoZoom Pro 5 to not only use the computer's processor but also its graphics card's chip, to create image enlargements with the S-Spline Max resize method. As a result, PhotoZoom Pro 5 will be able to process images up to five times faster than the previous version of PhotoZoom Pro 4 (depending on the hardware configuration).
New! Create your own resize profiles and speed up workflow

Creating a team and sustaining its performance feels more like taking a journey than building a machine. To work together, just as in a real journey, your team needs a common map to the territory.
The popular Drexler/Sibbet Team Performance Model™ provides team leaders and members with a clear framework for developing teams, building leadership skills and implementing practices that create successful teams, creating a springboard for high performance. It also allows teams to identify and address blocks to achieving high performance.
The Model is the foundation of the Drexler/Sibbet/Forrester Team Performance System, a widely used suite of tools for creating and sustaining team performance. Developed by Allan Drexler, Russ Forrester and the founder of The Grove Consultants International, David Sibbet, components of the System include, in addition to the Model, the Team Performance Indicator, Team Leader Guide and a host of support materials and guides.
Forrester/Drexler Team Performance IndicatorA Self-Scoring Assessment based on the Drexler/Sibbet Team Performance Model™!
The Team Performance Indicator is our popular self-scoring questionnaire, which provides a fantastic way to assess how your team is doing in regard to each of the seven stages of the Drexler/Sibbet Team Performance Model and gives an opportunity to consider whether and how the team wants to change.
The Indicator consists of 21 items that define some critical aspect of team performance such as "Our team goals" or "The results we produce." The individual results of the indicator provide valuable information to a team for gaining new insight on the similarities and differences each member has regarding the stages they are in and where there is convergence around the need to change. The indicator is also a catalyst in creating effective communication around issues blocking the team. As the issues become clear there is a call to action to eliminate the roadblocks getting in the team's way.
When the assessments have been completed the team leader or consultant has a visual (and quantifiable) report on the current team view. This report becomes a baseline to check progress after a series of actions have been implemented to resolve issues.
For full details, click here
Team Performance OverviewsThe Team Performance Abstract and the Team Performance Model Overview are excellent ways to orient a team to the Model. The Team Performance Wall Poster can be used as a visual talking piece while you explain the stages of team development.
For an experiential learning of the Model, have the team use the Team Performance Puzzle to see if they can figure out the stages of team performance before they are introduced to the Model.
Resources for Teams Team Leader GuideBased on years of research and refinement using the Drexler/Sibbet Team Performance Model™ (TPM), The Grove is proud to offer our popular Team Performance—Creating and Sustaining Results team leader guide. The new Team Leader Guide—Strategies and Practices contains a self-guided orientation to the roles and responsibilities of team leaders focused on getting results with their teams. Team Startup—Creating Gameplans for Success is an ideal manual for a team that wants to move toward its goals quickly and effectively. Team Performance—Creating and Sustaining Results is an excellent resource for a team leader or a team that wants over 100 field-tested team activities in one place. The Team Themes Card Deck can be used in a variety of ways to help a team examine its purpose, the competencies it has or needs and even its blind spots.
Starter Sets of Tools The Team Start-Up Kit compiles a series of Graphic Guides and introductory material on the Team Performance Model to help a team decide on priorities, roles and key strategies. The Team Action Planning Kit and Comprehensive Team Performance Kit compiles all the tools a team would need to first understand the Team Performance Model and then create an action plan to move forward

Naguib Mahfouz was born in Cairo in 1911 and began writing when he was seventeen. A student of philosophy and an avid reader, his works range from reimaginings of ancient myths to subtle commentaries on contemporary Egyptian politics and culture. Over a career that lasted more than five decades, he wrote 33 novels, 13 short story anthologies, numerous plays, and 30 screenplays. Of his many works, most famous is The Cairo Trilogy, consisting of Palace Walk (1956), Palace of Desire (1957), and Sugar Street (1957), which focuses on a Cairo family through three generations, from 1917 until 1952. In 1988, he became the first writer in Arabic to be awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. He died in August 2006.

Battlefield Play4Free / Community Discussion / Suggestions / New radio messages
New radio messages
22-04-2011, 03:31 PM | Post: #1Nektroys
Hey guys,I'm Nektroys and in this topic I'm going to show you my ideas:new radio messages.
We should have more messages in the radio,plus an option to turn the russian radio message into an english message in russian accent (just like in Battlefield BC2).
I suggest the following messages:
-"Cover me!" or "Gimme cover" (Idea made by Hmmmmmmm)
-"Go,go,go!" or "Advance!"
-"Let's stick togheter,team!" or "Stick togheter"
-"Get in the vehicle,hurry!" or "Get in!"
-"Take cover!" or "Hide!"
-"Follow me"
-"Negative" or "No,sir"
-"Thank you" or "Thanks" (Idea made by Gandler)
-"No problem" or "Don't mention it" (Idea change request by Alec_Mason)
-"Get out" or "Let's get outta here,hurry!"
-"I'm cleaning the area" or "I'm flanking around" (Idea made by X-Life)
-"Team,fall back!" or "Fall back,guys!" (Idea made by BurnHunter)
-"Bail out,now!" (Idea made by MajorVictory)
-"I'm returning to base to repair the vehicle,over" (Idea made by SSMitsuru)
-"Jump off!Use the parachute!Go!" (Idea made by SSMitsuru)
-"The area's clear" (Idea made by Mainfold)
-"Hey!Get down!Get down!" (Idea made by Cmdr_Shaffer)
-"I need reinforcements,NOW!" or "Hey,I need some help here" (Idea made by PorscheLover)
-"I will fix your ride,just a minute" (Engineers only) (Idea made by strangers123)
-"Ammo here,take it" (Assault's only) (Idea made by strangers123)
-"First aid kit is here,come and heal your wounds" (Medics only) (Idea made by strangers123)
-"Enemy RPG spotted!" (Idea made by G7R1)
-"Changing magazines" or "I'm reloading" (Idea made by Johnny3Tears)
-"Enemy spotted near flag ..."(Idea made by Omega-ZeroEMD)
-"Enemy spotted on the rooftop!Get him!" (Idea made by G7R1)
-"Watch out!Grenade!" or "Take cover!Enemy grenade!" (Idea made by Ime34)
-"Enemy down" (not everytime you kill someone,it will be in the message list.)
-"Enemy armor neutralized" or "Enemy tank destroyed" (Idea made by xXxMOOxXx)
-"Let me pass" or "Get outta my way!" (Idea made by K.Marcello)
-"Taking heavy fire,need assistance" or "I'm outnumbered!Help here!" (Idea made by Mr.BlackFire007)
-"Hold your fire,hold your fire" or "Stop shooting,now" (Idea made by Mr.BlackFire007)
-"Fire in the hole!" (everytime you throw a grenade,or if you throw many grenades in a row,you will shout it once) (Idea made by Mr.BlackFire007)

While the suggestions are worthwhile, my guess is that most of these messages would be ignored by your team until there is some in-game rewards (i.e.: extra XP) for working together.(This post was last modified: 22-04-2011 06:16 PM by TurtleJumper.)

For example: Radio command should sound like this "Bypass enemy"
Some times need this command to suppress campers from sides, like Medic's with their medkits in hard taken positions

Thanks a lot - Made mistake... in word.
23-04-2011, 01:30 AM | Post: #14Nektroys
To you guys above...i guess the voice command for that would be "I'm cleaning the area" or "I'm flanking around".But I guess this one isn't so much needed as the ones I posted in the topic.If I change my opinion I will publish it,X-Life.
EDIT:After looking at your drawing which was trying to represent the situation on the radio,I changed ideas.I will publish it as an idea and put your copyright into it

Huh?You mean "do a crossed fire on the enemy" is flanking the enemy?No,flanking is a kind of action that consists of making you escape from the heavy fire and kill the enemies from behind,advancing through an alternative route =)
I guess by posting in my topic you are signing to it =) I'm putting your name.

One would think it wouldn't be too hard to implement the time-tested "Commo-rose" from BF2, or something similar. The current system is just so inefficient; definitely leaves something to be desired.

Chocolate Chunk and Pecan Cookies
Chocolate chunk cookies are one of my favorite treats. When I was at the grocery store on the weekend I noticed a new brand of chocolate chip cookies. The package advertised two main selling points: 1. They were made with real butter. 2. They had more chocolate than any other ingredient. The cookies sounded pretty good and I was immediately craving chocolate chip cookies. I was almost thinking about getting them but I quickly realized that I would have much more fun making them myself.
They recipe that I normally use for chocolate chip cookies already had real butter and more chocolate than any other ingredient so I was set to go. But, I wanted to play around a bit and I had recently seen a few chocolate chunk cookie recipes that called for pecans. I though that the pecans would add a nice flavour to the cookies but I was in the mood for the texture of a plain chocolate chip cookie. I decided to try pulsing the pecans in the food processor so that they would give the flavour without changing the texture too much.
The cookies turned out really good! I of course could not resist trying them while they were still warm from the oven. They were nice and soft and gooey on the inside and a touch crispy on the outside. They pecans added a nice yet subtle flavour that I enjoyed. I placed some of the cookies in the fridge after they cooled as I like the texture of the cool chocolate in a chocolate chunk cookie.
1/2 cup butter (softened)
1/2 cup brown sugar (packed)
1/2 cup white sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/8 cup all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup dark chocolate chunks
1/2 cup pecans (chopped or coarsely ground)
1. Cream the butter and sugar in a bowl.
2. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract.
3. Mix the flour, baking soda and salt in another bowl.
4. Mix the dry ingredients into the wet.
5. Mix in the chocolate and the pecans.
6. Place the dough onto a cookie sheet one table spoon at a time.
7. Bake in a 350F preheated oven for 8-10 minutes.

November 21st, 2008
I don't know about you all, but since it is the ending of the semester I have been feeling some stress. I think a lot of it is dealing with the semester winding down; I have some major projects due in my Writing 124 class and my Art 131 class. I have a writing portfolio due on the 25th and my art portfolio on the 24th or 26th. Plus any tests and family holiday engagements happening adds to it.
I haven't really been much of a Thanksgiving person. I enjoy being able to get together with my family, but it all depends on how it follows through. I love my family and I try to love them as much as I am able, but we don't always see eye to eye. I try to be in touch, calls aren't returned, and then possible drama may follow. It is silly to me because I would hope that there would be an understanding with how busy I have been with school. What do you do though? Family will be family and you can always hope for the best since you can't choose who they are.
Anyways, is anyone going to see John Legend? I am excited for you! I would love to go chill out listening to him charm his way through the airwaves live. I don't know why I get into him so much, but there is something about listening to his music that can make you think and/or relax. Then on the other side of music that I love, I was sad that I missed the Nine Inch Nails concert recently because the tickets sold out fast. I know! Polar opposites of anything in the musical realm, right? It is funny to me how eclectic my musical tastes are.
I keep on trucking through this semester no matter how frustrating, exciting, or difficult it seems. I just get so stressed out trying to figure out what classes I need next semester while I am trying to finish up the current one. I know there are plenty of people feeling that right now so I am not alone. It is definitely hard! Especially since after going to school for the Web Design curriculum and deciding to switch over to the Environmental Technology one. I finally made the decision to switch because it looks that I am able get a job with a two-year degree in Environmental Technology than with my Web Design. Don't get me wrong though; I LOVED all of my classes in the Web Design curriculum. Even the programming ones! My inner environmentalist also assisted in the switch over. It should all play out well. It is hard to make major decisions when there are so many interests I have.
I hope that everyone has a good holiday. Take care of yourselves and happy studying!

PetPet Park is a 2D browser based virtual world geared towards kids. Nickelodeon and Neopets have teamed up to bring us this cartoony mini-game filled game. Players must dress up their PetPet, feed it, and keep it well entertained by playing minigames like battleship, bowling, and many others.
Publisher: Nickelodeon, Viacom
Playerbase: Medium
Graphics: Low
Type: MMO
EXP Rate: Slow
PvP: N/A
Filesize: N/A
Pros: +Dozens of mini games. -Varied environments, 20 zones thus far. +Great background music and sound effects.
Cons: -Limited customization options, only 6 PetPets. -Many features are not accessible without payment.
PetPet Park Overview
PetPet Park is a 'spinoff' of the popular Neopets site. The game is centered around petpets, which, in the original Neopets, wew pets players assigned to their pets. In PetPet Park, these once minor characters take on an important role and serve as avatars which players control as they explore the virtual world. Like its predessor, PetPet Park offers colorful visuals and gameplay consisting mainly of mini games. There are currently 20 areas for players to explore but plenty of room left on the map for more. Instantly travel between regions and earn money by playing minigames to purchase new clothes, accessories, and other items for your petpet! There are currently 6 petpet types to chose from:
Dipni - Timid, easily startled fish-like petpets that are affectionate and
inquisitive. Dipnis make gurgling noises when happy.
Oukin - A birdlike petpet that is normally calm but makes a shriek when in danger.
Pinixy - A squirrel-like petpet with a bushy tail and large furry ears. Pinixies are full of energy and enjoy physical activity.
Hifflo - As the name suggests, Hifflos are miniaturized hippos. These petpets like to relax and enjoy music.
Drym - Mischievous petpets who enjoy digging for shiny objects and borrowing through snow.
Kassegat - A catlike petpet with high intelligence that is native to jungle areas. These clever creatures enjoy fruit.

What happens in Vegas ... may be protected by the FMLA
Blog Entry:
January 29, 2013 4:30 AM | Author: SUSAN KEATING ANDERSON, ESQ.
Susan Keating Anderson Esq
Susan Keating Anderson
is a labor and employment attorney at
Walter & Haverfield LLP
. She provides general counsel to both public and private employers on a variety of workplace matters and human resources issues.
At the end of last year, in one of the more interesting opinions of 2012, a federal judge upheld an employee's right to take Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) leave to care for her mother during a recreational trip to Las Vegas.
The employee, Beverly Ballard, was a swimming instructor. Her mother, who had been diagnosed with end-stage congestive heart failure, won a trip to Las Vegas through the Fairy Godmother Foundation. Despite the fact that Ballard's employer denied her request for leave, Ballard accompanied her mother on the trip and was subsequently terminated for taking unauthorized time off. Ballard sued, claiming that the employer interfered with her ability to take FMLA leave to care for her mother.
At issue was whether or not Ballard qualified for FMLA leave to care for her parent. There was no question that Ballard met the threshold eligibility requirements of FMLA based on her length of employment and number of service hours. Ballard also argued, and the court accepted as true, that she was her mother's primary care giver, which included Ballard preparing her mother's meals, administering her mother's insulin shots and medicine, tending to her mother's other medical needs, bathing her, transporting her, and providing emotional support.
This case is unique, however, because the purpose of the trip was not for her mother to seek medical treatment. In the past, courts have typically dismissed FMLA lawsuits involving trips when the family member being cared for was not seeking treatment at a remote location. Ballard's attorney, however, argued that since she was still providing care to her mother in Las Vegas, even though she was on a purely recreational trip, the trip was one which qualified Ballard for leave.
The FMLA, which was enacted in 1993, was created to entitle eligible employees of covered
employers to take unpaid, job-protected leave for specified family and medical reasons with continuation of group health insurance coverage.
In prior cases, courts have mandated that caregiver leave under the FMLA should either be at home or part of in-patient treatment. Bucking this trend, the judge in the Ballard case ruled that it didn't matter where the employee provided care as long as she was, in fact, providing care. It's important to note that this case is now being appealed, so we will have to wait to see if this court's opinion holds. In the meantime, this opinion opens the door to a possible onslaught of lawsuits in which employees may seek to "stretch" the limits of FMLA to include caregiver-related activities not traditionally covered by the FMLA.
So what should employers do now?
• Start by reviewing current FMLA policies and procedures and make sure they reflect the current state of the law (but remember, the Ballard case is under appeal and not settled law at this point.)
• Train all supervisory employees – even if they are not charged with the responsibility of administering FMLA – on how to respond to requests for FMLA leave and other types of leave that might trigger FMLA coverage. Sometimes an uninformed supervisor can create problems by not handling a request properly or in a timely manner. Leave FMLA decisions to the experts.
• HR professionals and other employees charged with administering FMLA must take care to follow the notice and certification protocol so that an employer is in as best of a position as possible if a denial of leave is being contemplated.
• If an employee's request contains sparse details, don't simply deny the request and assume the problem will go away. Employers can benefit from proactive HR professionals who work with employees to ensure all requests are timely addressed and that all appropriate information is available when determining whether a request is covered by the FMLA.
• Whether or not an employee's request appears to qualify at the outset, be sure to create a paper trail that supports your decision to approve or deny the leave, as the case may be.
• This may go without saying, but do not try to interfere with an employee's taking of FMLA or other leave as a pretext for terminating employees with performance issues. Be certain to follow the same policies and procedures equally for all employees. If an employee has performance issues, those issues should be addressed separate and apart from the FMLA process.
• Choose your battles wisely. Even in those cases where you might well have the law on your side, there may be value in creating goodwill among your employees by allowing them to take leave where they may not otherwise be eligible for FMLA leave. In the Ballard case, for example, the employee's mother was dying. This may not have been the time to take a hard-line approach. Look at the big picture and weigh all risks and benefits, tangible and intangible, of the final decision. This is not to say that FMLA leave should be granted when there is a clear basis for denial, but thinking outside the box and affording the employee, for instance, a short unpaid leave, may ultimately allow an employer to avoid litigation and generate goodwill among its employees.
• Finally, before denying any borderline FMLA leave requests, consult with legal counsel to make sure you are as protected as possible.

The current open source driver standards seem to be aimed at the knee of the curve, where they're sufficiently complex to allow writing "fairly performant" without becoming "twice as complex for a small increase in performance". Seems like a good compromise, but it's important to understand that it *is* a compromise.
As an example, the open source drivers have a relatively large amount of common code and a relatively small amount of HW-specific code but if you want to get that last 20% of potential performance you generally need to move the line up and have substantially more of the driver stack being hardware-specific. That makes the driver code larger and more complex, which in turn makes it a lot harder for potential developers to contribute.

Graphics driver development community seems to be growing at roughly the same pace as the general Linux developer community, with roughly the same mix of commercial and volunteer developers.
Take a read through http://go.linuxfoundation.org/who-writes-linux-2012 - starting to see a number of graphics developers showing up in the "top contributors" list.
Linux started out with fairly basic implementations of all the major functions, then over the years different subsystems were gradually replaced with more complex but more featureful and higher performing implementations. That's the same pattern we are seeing with graphics -- UMS gets replaced with KMS, shader translators get replaced with shader compilers, classic Mesa HW layer gets replaced with Gallium3D layer, layers get blended together for performance (eg Intel plans to use GLSL IR in the graphics HW layer) etc...
That seems like the right approach to me, but it is not consistent with "open source drivers running faster than proprietary drivers in the first couple of years" which is what everyone except the developers seemed to expect. Now I guess the popular sentiment is "things aren't moving as fast as I hoped so open source drivers are always going to suck", which is just as wrong.

and we get 10-20% performance with the Llano because amd sell these GPUs with there CPUs directly to the customer and no "LOL-OEM-LOL" is there to protect us from AMD's make fun on open-source customers LOL!
amd should really stop to sell APUs to customers directly then maybe the performance increase from 10-20% to 45-50%
i'll take you seriously again if the products AMD sell directly to consumers are on the same performance level than the products from the LOL-OEM-LOL companies.
i can only recommend to buy INTEL if someone don't wanna spend expensive money on a LOL-OEM-LOL graphic card product.
Bridgman really makes a difference between OEM-Board manufacturer buying chips from AMD and a consumer buying chips from AMD.
and he think the board -manufacturer don't care about linux and AMD do really care about Linux LOL!!
and in the reality the board-manufacturer cards make 45-50% speed and the chips amd selling directly to consumers make 10-20% speed.
thats a big Joke! and even more a joke if you understand how Bridgman's rhetoric works!
read this book then you understand how bridgman works:"The Art of Being Right: 38 Ways to Win an Argument" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Art_of_Being_Right
its magic you are not a AMD customer anymore if you buy your AMD chip hardware from a OEM or Bord-Manufacturer only because the OEM's and Board-Manufacturers buy the chips from AMD and sell it to you LOL! ..
Magic artifice "The Art of Being Right"!
now you understand the sick way of thinking.

when i access RDA when i click something something else gets clicked on the phone. There is delta in both X and Y position. For instance when i click comething in the right bottom corner of the phone, the actual tap on real device occures much much much closer to the middle of the phone. It happens on every Nokia Lumia available.
The actual clicking point on real device is always above and to the left of my mouse cursor.
This is quite insane as you can test anyhing ralated to app bar in Windows Phone applications.
I it just on my machine?
Can i fix it somehow?

ATP-based detection of microbial cells represents a key application of luciferase/luciferin bioluminescence assay. Conventional methods require two steps: application of a lysis reagent to release microbial ATP, followed by a detection reagent to elicit bioluminescence. We have developed an assay that combines the lytic reagent with luciferase/luciferin, thus allowing sensitivedetection of microbial cells in a single-step. The assay system utilizes a thermostable luciferase to enable extraction of ATP from bacterial cells and to support a stable "glow-type" luminescent signal. In addition, we developed a formulation to achieve rapid and efficient extraction of ATP from a variety of microbial cells. The combination of these two essential elements enabled the design of a homogeneous single-reagent system (BacTiter-Glo™ Reagent) for performing ATP assays on cultured cells.

Get Your Financial Life in Order
As a new year begins, we typically have the best intentions -- to lose weight, get fit, and get organized. We even make a stab at it the first week of January. But soon, we throw up our hands in a fit of despair over how large the project seems to be, give it up and resort to our familiar sloppy ways.
This year, though, ditch the despair. Resolve to make progress by setting small, achievable objectives. Eat whole grain cereal with berries, and dump the doughnuts. Skip a little tv, and start walking a few minutes a day. Visit the Y and learn to use one piece of equipment. Take stock of your financial fitness, then map out a plan to improve your position.
How to take stock? Start with a book or two.
New York Times columnist Jane Bryant Quinn has written the bible of personal finance, "Making the Most of Your Money Now", especially helpful to those with little experience managing money. This comprehensive guide may look like heavy going but it is clearly written and easy to understand with separate sections on mortgages, insurance, saving for retirement, investing, estate planning, and wills. Consumers Union calls this the best personal finance book on the market.
In "The 1-2-3- Money Plan: the three most important steps to saving and spending smart", Gregory Karp offers simple instructions on how to assess your personal financial situation and then provides motivating advice on how to spend less and save more. He also advises about improving credit, defending against identity theft, and selecting appropriate savings and investment vehicles.
What Kids Need to Know
These days, children need to know more about money than their parents did at the same age, and it is up to their parents to teach them. With these helps, it is much less daunting a task to explain money concepts to kids.
In "Raising Money Smart Kids: what they need to know about money and how to tell them", Janet Bodnar uses real-life examples from her Kiplinger Personal Finance "Money Smart Kids" column to create cures for the grocery-cart "gimmies," plus guidance on how to set up a simple allowance system that works, help kids learn the virtues of working for pay, and how to turn kids onto saving and investing.
Neale S. Godfrey's "Money Still Doesn't Grow on Trees" discusses how to help your teen choose his first car, the right bank, a safe credit card, a clothing budget, or a summer job, helps determine how much your child should work during high school and college, explains where, when, and how to leave a proper tip, find bargains, dress properly for an interview, and includes quizzes and worksheets for you and your teen to plan a stable financial future.
Managing On Your Own
Once you have completed school, have joined the work force, and are no longer dependent on your parents, you need advice targeted to this new life stage.
"The Wall Street Journal Guide to Starting Your Financial Life" by Karen Blumenthal offers practical advice about tackling everyday issues like cell-phone plans and pet ownership, how to establish good credit, whether to buy or rent, what kinds of health coverage you need, how to approach big decisions such as investing, buying a car or house, managing an inheritance.
Another helpful title is Beth Kobliner's "Get A Financial Life: personal finance in your twenties and thirties".
Preparing for Retirement
Regardless of your age or stage in life, you should be planning to finance retirement, whether it is 5 or 35 years in the offing, and the sooner you start, the better.
"The AARP Retirement Survival Guide: how to make smart financial decisions in good times and bad" by Julie Jason presents information you can put to good use now, especially on health care and finances. Jason reviews the state of retirement 2009 with full consideration of the current economy. She examines the basics (such as the infamous What's your number? discussion), outlines how to approach retirement income products as well as the stock market, and approaches to taxes and to potential advisors. She analyzes CDs, reverse mortgages, annuities, and guaranteed minimum benefits (in the forms of withdrawal and income benefits), tax-deferred accounts, and warns about sales scams to avoid.
Investment adviser Charles Farrell simplifies retirement savings in "Your Money Ratios: 8 simple tools for financial security". He developed a series of simple formulas for core areas of personal finance (savings, debt, investments, and insurance) to help readers understand what they need to be saving based on age and household income, while reducing the irrational emotion often involved. Formulas reveal how much to save each year (12% of salary under age 45, 15% thereafter), how much to contribute to 401(k)s and IRAs, when to invest in real estate, how much education debt to carry, how to balance debt, how to calculate investment power and how to find a financial adviser for those situations that require extra help. This is a good book for those starting out, to learn the variety and magnitude of expenses one will confront along life's journey. Obviously, the further along life's earnings path one is, the less the chance one will have to seamlessly adjust to achieve the recommended ratios and amounts.
General Organization
Everyone should consult Melanie Cullen's "Get It Together: Organize Your Records So Your Family Won't Have To". We don't like to think of the inevitable time when we can't continue to manage our affairs, but we should plan for it in consideration of the emotional and intellectual burden we don't want to inflict on those who follow us. Cullen provides a thorough list of all the information we should collect, and includes forms that can be copied and completed for recording details of bank accounts, property, insurance, taxes, business affairs, last letter and more. This is so eminently practical that it would be very appropriate to own your personal copy or give a family member.
Let this be the year you get financially fit.
Handy tip: Get bored walking? Listen to a book using portable audio (Playaways or downloadable to your Ipod or mp3 player) and get caught up in a good story that carries you along to your goal. For a list of titles available, visit us at www.tcplweb.org or call 988-2541. Have a happy, fit 2010!

The Irish Brigade is perhaps the best known military unit of the Civil War, and their tragic sacrifice has endured as a powerful symbol of bloodshed that marked the nation's deadliest conflict.
The Battle of Fredericksburg, fought on December 13, 1862, led to massive Irish casualties. Attacking the stone wall in front of the Sunken Road, the brigade of 1,600 soldiers were cut to 263 in a matter of minutes.
According to Fredericksburg.com, on Sunday the commemoration of the Battle of Fredericksburg began with a reminder of the valor of The Irish Brigade.
Families, historians, Irish dignitaries and Irish–Americans ancestors gathered on the Rappahannock to re-dedicate the monument honoring the Irish immigrants who fought the South on that soil.
Taking part were an Irish Defence Forces honor guard; National Park Service historian Frank O'Reilly; Ralph Victory of the Embassy of Ireland, representative of Irish Ambassador Michael Collins; the brigade's descendant unit in the U.S. military and members of the 69th Infantry Veterans' Corps.
Read more Irish history stories here
'What they did on the streets of Fredericksburg did make them Americans so every soldier on this battlefield became a piece of the Irish Brigade as well,' O'Reilly said at the ceremony.
According to Fredericksburg.com, the Irish Brigade's descendant, the New York Army National Guard's 1st Battalion, 69th Infantry, sent 75 soldiers to join in the commemoration on Sunday. They rededicated the Irish Brigade monument alongside the Irish Defense Forces members.
Captain John H. Donovan of the 69th New York, who was blinded in one eye in combat at Malvern Hill near Richmond in July 1862, recounted the Battle of Fredericksburg for Northern readers on Jan. 3, 1863 in an statement reproduced in Fredericksburg.com.
'What the government intend to do with the remnant of the brigade I know not,' he wrote, in an account published in the New York Irish–American paper.'I can only say that as an 'Irish Brigade' it has 'fought its last battle.' Could the spirits of its honoured and immortal dead, whose rude graves spot the soil of Virginia and Maryland, but have the privilege or power to look down upon the future of this Republic, they can now tell whether or not the cause for which they have offered up their lives is to perish.'

Today, I put up the project on github instead my own git server, so that could hopefully entice more curious developers.
you may get some code, loader etc insight from the old emulators http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SheepShaver
"SheepShaver is a MacOS run-time environment for BeOS and Linux that allows you to run classic MacOS applications inside the BeOS/Linux multitasking environment. This means that both BeOS/Linux and MacOS applications can run at the same time (usually in a window on the BeOS/Linux desktop) and data can be exchanged between them. If you are using a PowerPC-based system, applications will run at native speed (i.e. with no emulation involved). There is also a built-in PowerPC emulator for non-PowerPC systems."
"Supported systems
SheepShaver runs with varying degree of functionality on the following systems:
- Unix with X11 (Linux i386/x86_64/ppc, NetBSD 2.x, FreeBSD 3.x)
- Mac OS X (PowerPC and Intel)
- Windows NT/2000/XP
- BeOS R4/R5 (PowerPC)"
"Some of SheepShaver's features
- Runs MacOS 7.5.2 thru 9.0.4. MacOS X as a guest is not supported."
people seem to be still patching it.
you might even find something useful here too use if your after the older API's etc

They have already implemented the Mach ports as a kernel modification.
In theory, there is no reason why you couldn't implement Darwin binary compatibility using the same method that Solaris / Sys V compatibility was achieved with Linux.
Perhaps creating a mailing list / forum for this project would be helpful seeing as there is bound to be interest from others on developing this further.
I've always wondered why no OS X app compatibility was done for Linux, seeing as the base API (OpenStep) is both public and implemented as OSS (GNUstep), all the loader bits are available via Darwin. All that is missing is re-implementing Apple's proprietary services (Quartz / DisplayServer)
- The additional amount work.
- The syscall interface is not the official ABI. There is no point in keeping it. They may choose to randomly renumber their syscall numbers without breaking anything. Because libc is the ABI for the syscalls. Linux emulation in FreeBSD is a completely different matter, these systems are much more alike.
- Mach syscalls are crap and we're better off emulating them in userspace where feasible. I'm getting remarkably better performance when emulating some of them in userspace, because those calls just don't belong into the kernel (thread synchronization primitives).
- Ease of installation. No need to patch the kernel, check for the right kernel version or anything.
- Ease of development. Without any doubt. Even the fact that I need to use plain C for kernel development is very limiting.
- Ease of getting the product released. Going through reviews of the kernel code may be useful, but it also means I can't easily distribute any experimental hackish code to the users.
When mentioning NetBSD's Darwin emulation, note that their code was highly experimental. A better part of IOKit was just dummy code and while browsing some of their Mach Ports code I got the feeling that they misunderstood certain aspects of this feature. And I'm not surprised. I have the feeling that no-one except for Apple's and GNU Hurd's developers knows how to use these :-D
My biggest worry though is the state of GNUstep. Once I started writing various tests, I started finding bugs immediately in stuff you'd expect to be stable and proven by now. It's quite bad, worse than I thought. Half of the OS X apps I've tested don't start because GNUstep can't even load the NIB (UI definition) file properly. I got me to the point of thinking whether it wouldn't be better in long term to implement Cocoa on top of something stable like Qt: that way we wouldn't have to worry about that many implementation details, slowly work through all the APIs and then replace GNUstep.
Of course, such an endeavor needs human resources and I don't have these.

That being said, I doubt anyone will really care if a Steambox is going to use blob or free drivers, considering Steam itself is locked down and proprietary already.

There are two people in this world the naysayers and the doers. You my friend are a naysayer, and judging by your posts you always will be. Its just sad really.
modular, open, and portable could this be THE mini-pc?

Gotta hand it to Michael. His post-Seattle rattle was all legit and on the mark.
Some of the noise being made here on this subject (and their numbers are, thankfully, few) sounds remarkably like that of a dictator without a sufficiently large fan club. In common parlance they are oftentimes referred to as "wackos and nut jobs". I fear them with power, because they haven't demonstrated temperance with the "you're either with us or you're against us" stand on using proprietary drivers. Such hard-line stances are rarely appropriate.
