♠ Leggings ♠ Foot Traffic ♠ Halloween ♠ Sheer To Waist ♠ Cosplay
There is something almost irresistible about metallics and we just couldn't say no to these leggings in silver, gold and black... whether they light up your night out or are the perfect accessory for your costume, we think these are a good value for the shimmer.
Label says these fit 5'0'-5'8" and 100-160 pounds.
These are pretty low-rise, especially if you're taller or curvier. We found that if you let them "warm up" (wear them a bit) they comfortably fit 40 inch hips and 26 inch thighs, with 16 inches of stretch in the cuff. As you wear them and wear them in, a little of the metallic sheen wears off, but they still shimmer!
Additional Info: Made in Korea.
Fiber Content: 97% polyester, 3% spandex
Machine wash cold on delicate, line dry.
Label: Foot Traffic
Are you sold out in your store as well as online? Please respond ASAP! I need to get a pair tomorrow!
I just got the Extraordinarily Longer Thigh Highs and loved them so much that I immediately had to tell you about it. I, of course, love all the socks I order from you, but these are my favorite!! They are not only long enough for my mutant legs, they are also the softest, most lovely thigh highs I have ever worn! I love them so hard.

Understanding NFC Data Exchange Format (NDEF) messages
This article explains the structure of a NDEF message with simple uniform resource identifier (URI) that describes web page address.
Most NFC tags are passive elements those store data for reader (for NFC enabled mobile phones) in NDEF (NFC Data Exchange Format) format. When we touch our phones with any NFC forum enabled tags, actually we read the NDEF message by our application. Those happen via NFC application to protocol stack then low level driver and finally the radio frequency (RF) parts to retrieve data from tags.
In this article, we try to explain the structure of NDEF message with simple uniform resource identifier (URI) to describe web page address. We provide an example Qt mobility application that can be used to test it.
NDEF message and NDEF record
The NFC Data Exchange Format (NDEF) specification defines a message encapsulation format to exchange information, e.g. between an NFC Forum Device and another NFC Forum Device or an NFC Forum Tag. NDEF is a lightweight, binary message format that can be used to encapsulate one or more application-defined payloads of arbitrary type and size into a single message.
An NDEF message is composed of one or more NDEF records. There can be multiple records in a NDEF message. Basically NDEF message is array of NDEF records. How many records we can encapsulate in a NDEF message that depends on our application and the tag type. For our analysis purposes we use only one NDEF records. This NDEF record stores http://nokia.com. Following figure shows the general view of NDEF message[1][2].
When we communicate with our NFC reader devices (mobile phones) to read or write data to NFC tag we read basically (for example http: //nokia . com) the following hexa code.
03 0e d1 01 0a 55 03 6e 6f 6b 69 61 2e 63 6f 6d fe
- 03 - This is one byte that defines the type of record this is. An NDEF record is represented by the hex byte 03, with Qt mobility API we don't provide this, those are added for us.
- 0e - This is one byte that tells the reader how many bytes are in the payload. With Qt mobility API we don't provide this, those are added for us by platform.
- d1 - NDEF records are variable length records with a common format illustrated in the figure below.
d1 is binary code (11010001)
In our case:
- MB = 1 (message Begin is true means this is first record in the NDEF message)
- ME = 1 (Message end, means it is last record in the NDEF message, if it is 0 that tells application that more records are ahead)
- CF = 0 (means this is not chunked message, An NDEF message can contain zero or more chunked payloads. Each chunked payload is encoded as an initial record chunk followed by zero or more middle record chunks and finally by a terminating record chunk, in our case we simplify our record as not chunked)
- SR = 1 (SR stands for short record, if set, that the payload length field is a single octet.This short record layout is intended for compact encapsulation of small payloads which will fit within PAYLOAD fields of size ranging between 0 to 255 octets.)
- IL = 0(IL stands for identification length, if set, that the ID_LENGTH field is present in the header as a single octet. If the IL flag is zero, the ID_LENGTH field is omitted from the record header and the ID field is also omitted from the record)
- TNF = 001(The TNF field value indicates the structure of the value of the TYPE field. The value 0x01 (NFC Forum well-known type) indicates that the TYPE field contains a value that follows the RTD type name format defined in the NFC Forum RTD specification)
- 01 (Type Length) - The TYPE_LENGTH field is an unsigned 8-bit integer that specifies the length in octets of the TYPE field. The TYPE_LENGTH field is always zero for certain values of the TNF field.
- 0A (Pay load Length) - The PAYLOAD_LENGTH field is an unsigned integer that specifies the length in octets of the PAYLOAD field (the application payload). The size of the PAYLOAD_LENGTH field is determined by the value of the SR flag
- 55 (type The value of the TYPE field is an identifier describing the type of the payload, The URI record type ("U") )
- 03 - 0x03 URI identifier ("http://")
- Pay Load - The rest of the string in UTF-8 (nokia.com)
- FE Terminator byte. This is final byte added by platform.

Thread: The Grammar Query Thread!
September 4th, 2002, 11:44 PM #46
You read a published book, e.g. Robert Jordan, there are a few errors every chapter. And that probably after its been edited ten times between author and publisher.
A writer has a responsibility to be good at english (or the language the MS is in), but that's going too far.
What they are saying is they only want someone of great caliber, don't even bother everyone else. A good way to save time, sure. A good way to miss some rough gems that only needed a little polishing, definitely.
September 5th, 2002, 12:12 AM #47
And talk about envelope overdose at at Stone Dragon Press.
September 5th, 2002, 07:58 AM #48
By no means all publishers demand perfect grammar. Plenty understand that grammar is forever evolving. Grammar is only useful in as far as it makes writing make sense. While that is clearly very important, you can't hold to every nuance of grammar as a hard and fast rule because people don't think, speak or even necessarily read that way. After all, we all use prepositions at the beginning of sentences, do we not? If you take grammar as set in stone, you can't do that. And that's just for starters.
I think publishers have every right to expect a submission to demonstrate awareness of sentence and phrase construction. They have no right to expect utterly error free work or use that as an excuse to reject submissions.
I always remember an English teacher of mine reminding us always to use grammar as guidelines, not rules and quoting us this line...
'Bad grammar? That is something up with which I will not put.'
September 5th, 2002, 11:36 AM #49
I agree completely, NOM. Error free is a lot to ask. What could possibly be in the mind of the editor of Stone Dragon? He even jokes about the fact that he is 'anal' in the FAQ section. I can only assume that he is not really looking for many authors to publish these days, and perhaps he thinks that his stringent requirements (to be polite) will limit the number of submissions he receives. I am certain that they will!!
We all strive to write as well as we are able to. Correct grammar and punctuation is essential at some point. But does it make sense for an editor to expect it at the submission point? I suppose that there are so many manuscripts being submitted that all the publishers are looking for practical standards in order to justify discarding the majority of them. The life of the author gets more and more difficult, as if it were not difficult enough already!
September 5th, 2002, 01:14 PM #50
These quotes are interesting, because I was going to ask about prepositions at the end of sentences.
'Bad grammar? That is something up with which I will not put.'
"We all strive to write as well as we are able to."
I know that one is not supposed to end with a prepostition, but the rules seem to be much more relaxed than they once were. Except in dialog, I try to be careful about this, but I have seen sentences ending in 'of' 'for' and 'to' in several published novels. I'm just curious about what anyone else might think...
September 5th, 2002, 01:38 PM #51
Sometimes sentences just sound better if the rules are bent just a little. Sentences seem to have an internal symmetry, and I often end them with prepositions in order to maintain what feels to me to be the right balance. I could be wrong, but 'poetic license' does extend to prose in some cases I hope.
September 5th, 2002, 06:01 PM #52
I obviously used that sentence to point out a particular absurdity in grammar and I think you are right to be careful (except as you so rightly say, in dialogue where all the rules can and should go right out of the window because people, by and large, do not speak pure grammar).
The rule of thumb I use is, does it sound right when you read it back in your head or out loud. Or does applying the rule actually make the sentence clunky and difficult to read? Not a perfect yardstick, I admit but the first person that has to be happy with your writing is you and not the guy who wrote the rules of grammar...
By the way, GQ, I hope so too!
September 5th, 2002, 09:19 PM #53
I just finished reading a book called "The First Five Pages" by Noah Lukeman. Lukeman works for a publishing company, and he reviews many of the manuscripts that end up on the "slush pile". The book discusses what editors will use an excuse to discard a manuscript within the first five pages. It is an excellent book. The topics range from grammer, to style, to narrative voice, to word choice. I highly recommend it for anyone for whom trying to get published is something up with which they are willing to put.
September 6th, 2002, 12:00 PM #54
Of course proper grammar is always important, but I think that perfect grammar is less important, and sometimes is actually a hindrance, in a work of fiction. Especially in dialogue--making all your characters speak like university professors will have a ridiculous effect. Fiction should flow naturally, and should sound like a story being told, not like somebody's thesis.
Don't get me wrong, blatantly wrong grammar and incorrect spelling I can't stand, I just feel that the rules should be relaxed when it comes to fiction. Perfect grammar should be reserved for essays and such.
September 10th, 2002, 01:55 AM #55
The Valdez'/Valdez's question prompted me to look up possessive apostrophes in Strunk and White. My copy, published in 1979 (so, granted, the rules have possibly changed), states that --'s is proper usage in all cases (Charles or Jane) unless the noun is an Ancient Proper name (Isis', Jesus', Moses', etc). Hmm. Not what I remember being taught.
Could someone with an updated Strunk and White double check that for me?
September 10th, 2002, 09:56 AM #56
Mine says the same thing, Jenn--I don't think the book has been updated since 1979, because I just got this one 3 or 4 years ago and it says "copyright 1979" in the front.
But it says "Moses' Law" and "Isis' Temple" are commonly replaced with "the Law of Moses" and "the Temple of Isis."
I wonder who made the distinction between ancient names and modern ones? It seems weird to me.
I'm also not sure why it says another exeption are forms like "for conscience' sake" or "for righteousness' sake." I don't know why you wouldn't put an s there. Go figure.
Everything else in the book makes sense to me though.
September 10th, 2002, 11:36 PM #57
I think grammar can sometimes be a synonym for pedantics.
Many times whilst/ while (there's another one) writing using Word, I find that nasty little green line underlining my work, sometimes even as I'm typing it.
It can really bug me. It's like having a know-it-all grammar expert looking over your shoulder, nagging you constantly.
(It red-lined me for pedantics BTW, talk about irony!)
I agree with a lot of the arguements from Miriamele on the lines that grammar isn't that fundamental for fiction or character dialogue as it bears little resemblance to language in the real world.
Colloquial terminology especially, breaks all sorts of rules, but it's the way we speak, so it's legitimate language.
Perhaps Stone Dragon Press can't afford too many proof reader and are merely being pratical (interesting Freudian slip there), but if a great piece of work passes them by and ends up elsewhere...
the way the cookie crumbles, that is.

In my linguistic class we talked lots about language and what happens to it when people aren't willing to allow it to change. Language will die.
Miriamele: I just looked up the 's dealy-who in my Little Brown Handbook (every da*n thing you ever wanted to know about formatting and a helluvalot more ). They say the same thing: to use 's even following James, charles, etc.
They expanded the explanation re exceptions: names with more than one s/z sound within them (explaining the Isis', Moses', and Jesus' examples). Also, the s is dropped after names followed by a word beginning in 's'.
Makes more sense, I think, than Strunk & White made of it.
September 12th, 2002, 06:42 PM #59
First thing I ever do when I upgrade word is turn off the grammar checker... you can hardly read your own words for green squiggles. I've been tempted to turn off the spelling checker too but instead I now just add heaps of character names, places etc to the dictionary. That does the trick just as well.

I'm curious now. What is considered the definitive source to consult for English usage amongst writers and editors? My fairly old source on that matter regarding apostrophes IIRC says that an apostrophe with an "s" can be used for proper names with one or two syllables but proper names with three or more syllables should go without the "s".

Steak Tenderloin in a Green Peppercorn Sauce
They had some beef tenderloin on at a good price when I was at the market and I picked some up. The only question was what to do with it. I remembered enjoying a peppercorn steak at a restaurant a long time ago and I decided that I wanted to try making it at home. I was not sure exactly how they did it as I remembered some of the peppercorns being hard like I had expected but some of them were also soft. A quick search on the web led me to the discovery of green peppercorns in brine which was just what I was looking for. I was all set, I had some freshly cracked peppercorns to crust the steak and some brined green peppercorns for a sauce to go on it. I really like simple meat and pan sauce recipes like this as they are quick, easy and always tasty and this peppercorn steak was no exception. I got a nice sear on the outside of the steak but the inside was still medium rare, just the way I like it. The peppercorn crust was nice and crunchy and provided a great contrast in texture to the juicy steak within. I could have reduced the green peppercorn sauce a bit more but I was too hungry to wait and it turned out great anyways. The green peppercorns had a texture that I really enjoyed and the sauce was nice and tasty. I served the peppercorn steak with an onion gratin and some parmesan breadcrumbs coated green beans. (More to come on them later.)
1 tablespoon mixed peppercorns (roughly crushed)
2 steaks
salt to taste
1 tablespoon oil
1 tablespoon butter
1 shallot (chopped)
2 tablespoons brandy
1 tablespoon green peppercorns in brine
1/2 cup beef broth
2 tablespoons heavy cream
1 teaspoon dijon mustard
1. Press the steaks into the peppercorns to coat and season with salt.
2. Heat the oil in a pan.
3. Sear the steaks on high heat on both sides for about 2-4 minutes and set aside.
4. Melt the butter in the pan.
5. Add the shallots and saute until tender, about 4 minutes.
6. Add the brandy and deglaze the pan.
7. Add the peppercorns, beef stock, heavy cream and mustard and simmer to reduce by half.
8. Remove from heat and mix in any juices collected under the steaks.

There's some kind of squabbling going on between microsoft, adobe and Mac. Adobe seems to be purposely messingup OS/X by making cruddy player and ignoring linux X_64. All in the name of immortality. THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!!
Phoronix: Adobe Flash 10.1 Beta 3 Comes w/o 64-bit Linux
Adobe's Mike Melanson has updated the Adobe Penguin.SWF blog for Linux users and it's not an update on his Linux video acceleration rant, but rather to announce that Flash Player 10.1 Beta 3 has been released. As has been the case with Adobe for a while now, the Linux Flash version has been updated in tandem with the Windows and Mac OS X builds...
There's some kind of squabbling going on between microsoft, adobe and Mac. Adobe seems to be purposely messingup OS/X by making cruddy player and ignoring linux X_64. All in the name of immortality. THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!!
Who cares. We've got nspluginwrapper.
Hm, I really don't know how such a big company can make such a cruel mistake.
I really think that if it goes on like this and no company thinks further than "How do I earn money" we'll be struck in 32 bit still a very long time...
HTML 5 - Video Tag : http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/issues/7
"reluctantly come to the conclusion that we have no way to get consensus on this issue. In particular, I am not aware of any codec that every browser vendor is willing to implement and that video publishers are interested in using to publish their videos. "
It's sad. I can understand that video websites like youtube couldn't convert all their videos to ogg for example and there would be a long time running flash / html 5 video... But what I cannot understand is that companies still play like in the kindergarden and don't want to come to an unique solution. What has happened with HTML 5 video tag, is the same as with 32 bit : Adobe: no flash player 64-bit. Mozilla: no prebuilt 64-bit binaries. and so on...
Companies seem to be less and less the motor of evolution...
I just installed this on 64-bit Firefox 3.6 (nspluginwrapper accepts it and it works.) It's actually a nice update. Many bugs fixed. Flash elements (buttons etc) don't seem to get stuck anymore and Zynga Poker (Facebook and other sites have this) now actually works like in Windows.
This one looks like it got attention for those annoying Linux bugs. Never thought I'd say this, but thanks Adobe, lol :P
I don't have volume buttons on my keyboard, so no idea :P
So google switching to OGG. Not going to happen.
That's the most serious problem right after the reptilian aliens from Aldebaran controlling the world's governments if you ask me.

Osho,Modern Christians are making desperate attempts to save their religion from its primitive, superstitious past - and from the fundamentalists!
For example, a modernist in the Church of England believes, it is said, in a God who works through evolutionary processes only, does not doubt the existence of Jesus Christ, but would not lose his faith if it were to be proved that Jesus never existed, and claims to believe in the supernatural, but not in the miraculous. His Jesus did not perform miracles and was not born of a virgin. The tomb was not empty. Ethics are more important to the modernist than doctrine.
Down the same path is traveling our old friend, the Bishop of Durham, who got into trouble for his comments last year about the virgin birth and resurrection. He was recently quoted as saying, "Either God does not exist or else he must establish his own existence."
Is the resurrection of Christianity any more likely than that of a Jesus Christ himself?
The resurrection of Jesus Christ may be possible, but not the resurrection of Christianity.
In fact Jesus never died on the cross. It takes at least forty-eight hours for a person to die on the Jewish cross; and there have been known cases where people have existed almost six days on the cross without dying. Because Jesus was taken down from the cross after only six hours, there is no possibility of his dying on the cross. It was a conspiracy between a rich sympathizer of Jesus and Pontius Pilate to crucify Jesus as late as possible on Friday - because on Saturday, Jews stop everything; their Sabbath does not allow any act. By the evening of Friday everything stops.
The arrangement was that Jesus would be crucified late in the afternoon, so before sunset he would be brought down. He might have been unconscious because so much blood had flowed out of the body, but he was not dead. Then he would be kept in a cave, and before the Sabbath ended and the Jews hung him again, his body would be stolen by his followers. The tomb was found empty, and Jesus was removed from Judea as quickly as possible. As he again became healthy and healed, he moved to India and he lived a long life - one hundred and twelve years - in Kashmir.
It is a coincidence, but a beautiful coincidence, that Moses died in Kashmir and Jesus also died in Kashmir. I have been to the graves of both. The graves are ample proof, because those are the only two graves that are not pointing towards Mecca. Mohammedans make their graves with the head pointing towards Mecca, so in the whole world all the graves of Mohammedans point towards Mecca, and Kashmir is Mohammedan.

Taoist Tai Chi: An Introductory Class (+)
Vancouver Campus, 12th Floor
Offered by the Taoist Tai Chi Society of Canada – Pacific Region, Taoist Tai Chi is a great way to reduce stress, increase strength and flexibility and improve circulation, balance and posture.
This class is free. RSVP is required to firstname.lastname@example.com by Monday Sept. 15
The Taoist Tai Chi Society is a volunteer run, registered charitable organization that offers instruction in Taoist Tai Chi™ internal arts, which includes a 108-move Tai Chi set and other related internal arts.
Taoist Tai Chi™ internal arts are specifically aimed at cultivating health and vitality and were developed by Master Moy Lin-shin, a Taoist monk. Master Moy synthesized the wisdom he learned during more than 50 years of training in meditation, qigong, Tai Chi and other arts into the practices taught by the Society and its sister organizations.
Fung Loy Kok Taoist Tai Chi was founded in Toronto in 1970, with the first classes in British Columbia taking place in 1976. In the Pacific Region, they have now grown to include communities across the province, including the Lower Mainland, Vancouver Island and many parts of the interior.
Art for Global Health: (+)
Chicago Campus
The Institute on Social Exclusion (ISE) is collaborating with Northwestern University School of Medicine, Project Cure, and the Chicago Global Health Alliance toward building a partnership with mental and physical health providers in Liberia, West Africa.
Our mental health and medical team will be part of a select group of academic/clinical professionals that are building capacity within Liberia, which will ensure the sustainability of their physical and mental health care system. Our efforts are timely as Liberia is one of the African countries that is dealing with the Ebola outbreak, as this has exposed the gaps in the current health care system. The ISE is leading the mental health assessment phase of the project, and we are using this to inform development of a global framework for population mental health.
Come enjoy a cocktail, art from nationally recognized and local artists, music and great company. There will be a silent auction, a live auction, and raffle to benefit our work in Liberia. Tickets cost $50 and can be purchased online. To purchase ticekts or donate, visit http://chiglobalhealth.com/gala/.
Proceeds support Liberia's medical & psychological care.

Rudolf Dreikurs' Legacy for the Adler School: Presented by Dr. Eva Dreikurs Ferguson (+)
Chicago Campus, Community Hall
Rudolf Dreikurs founded the Alfred Adler Institute (soon to be Adler University) with the conviction that the health of the individual and the community are intertwined. Dr. Eva Dreikurs Ferguson, the daughter of Rudolf Dreikurs, will highlight the basics of Adlerian Psychology as taught by Rudolf Dreikurs.
Regardless of one's orientation, when faculty have a full understanding of the foundational principles and methods on which the school was founded, the heritage of the school will be assured. Moreover, understanding of Adler-Dreikurs psychology enables faculty members to compare and contrast Adler-Dreikurs theory and methods with one's own psychological views.
Every person in attendance will receive a copy of Adlerian Theory: An Introduction written by Dr. Eva Dreikurs Ferguson, which highlights the foundations of Adlerian Psychology.
Dr. Dreikurs Ferguson earned her Ph.D. from Northwestern University. She is a professor at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville and a Visiting Scholar at University of California Berkeley. Dr. Dreikurs Ferguson wrote two motivation textbooks. The latest is a 2000
book called Motivation and published by Oxford University Press. She wrote a book Discipline Without Tears (Dreikurs, Cassel, & Ferguson), Wiley, 2004, and Adlerian Theory, published by the Adler School (latest date is 2014). Dr. Dreikurs Ferguson also has published articles in motivation, cognition, culture, and Adlerian Psychology.
She is a Life Member of AAAS, a Fellow of APA, a Founding Fellow of APS, a member of the Psychonomic Society and of Sigma Xi. Finally Dr. Dreikurs Ferguson is Chair of ICASSI (the International Committee of Adlerian Summer Schools and Institutes) and Honorary President of IAIP (International Association of Individual Psychology).

American Ted Ligety won the second gold medal of his career Wednesday by besting the competition in the giant slalom.
French skiers took the other two podium spots, with Steve Missillier taking silver and Alexis Pinturault winning bronze.
Of the other Americans in the event, Tim Jitloff finished 15th, Jared Goldberg was 19th and Bode Miller was 20th.
Miller, who won bronze in the super-G on Sunday for his sixth Olympic medal, tweaked his surgically repaird knee during the event and withdrew from this weekend's slalom competition, the last of his events at the Sochi Games.
Miller, who at 36 became the oldest medalist in Olympic alpine skiing history with his super-G performance, hasn't indicated whether he plans to retire from the Olympics after Sochi.
Wednesday's medal for Ligety was his first of the Sochi Games after finishing 12th in the super combined and 14th in the super-G.
Ligety, a 29-year-old Park City, Utah, native, came up big in his Olympic debut in 2006, winning gold in the super combined. He also competed in the giant slalom and the slalom in Turin, but failed to complete either event.
He failed to medal in 2010 in Vancouver, but later became the first man since 1968 to win three gold medals at a single world championships, topping the super-G, giant slalom and super combined in 2013.
That giant slalom world championship was the second of his career, after his first in 2011, and he also can lay claim to four World Cup championships in that event.
In fact, of his 21 World Cup event victories, all but one came in the giant slalom, with the one remaining coming in the super combined just last month in Wengen, Switzerland.
Ligety came into the Olympics No. 3 in the 2014 World Cup giant slalom standings, having earned three victories and a third-place finish in six events so far.

Hot Cheesy Crab, Spinach and Artichoke Dip
When I was looking for crab recipes I came across the concept of a hot crab dip and since I had some left over crab I decided to try making one. I found a bunch of recipes but none of them felt just right so I took what I liked from each of them and ended up with this one. I don't think you can go wrong with a base of cream cheese and sour cream. Add a bunch of of cheese and it only gets better. I really couldn't make a dip without some green so I added some spinach and green onions. Of course we cannot forget the star of the show, the crab. The dipped turned out to be really amazing! It was nice and warm and gooey and creamy and tasty. The crab added that extra bit of flavour and a texture that just sent it over the edge. I will definitely be making this again!
1 tablespoon butter
2 cloves garlic (chopped)
1/4 cup white wine
1 cup baby spinach (packed)
4 ounces cream cheese (room temperature)
1/2 cup sour cream
chili sauce to taste
salt and pepper to taste
1/4 parmigiano reggiano (grated)
1/2 cup mozzarella (grated)
1/2 cup cheddar (grated)
1 cup artichoke hearts (chopped)
1 cup crab (chopped)
2 green onions (chopped)
1. Melt the butter in a pan over medium heat, add the garlic and saute until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
2. Add the white wine and spinach and heat until the spinach wilts, about 1-2 minutes.
3. Process the spinach, cream cheese, sour cream, chili sauce, salt and pepper in a food processor until nice and mixed.
4. Mix everything, place the mixture into a baking dish bake in a preheated 350F oven until bubbling and golden brown on top, about 20-30 minutes.
Slow Cooker: Implement steps 1-3, mix everything, place it in the slow cooker and cook until the cheese is nice and melted about 1-2 hours on high or 2-4 hours on low.

Sorry about that, I don't know why I wrote copyright when I meant trademark. I do know that you cannot loose your copyright so I simply blame this error to fatigue.Quote:
This is how trademarks work.
Back to patents however, if the court treats you differently because you haven't enforced your patent before then that is cause for appeal. It is a long tradition among patent holders to not enforce their patents until they see widespread usage (due to people feeling confident since the patents has never been enforced) and then strike out of nowhere and start to litigate. If I'm not mistaken, MP3 was such a case.
Lodsys is another example, they have only started to litigate this year if I'm not mistaken even though their oldest patent was filed in 1997.
Regardless of where you are registered a court can still order you illegal in the US meaning all US mirrors has to be closed down. What loss if any that would be to Debian I don't know.Quote:
Debian as a project on its own is not registered anywhere (it's not a legal entity) AFAIK, but SPI (which provides services to them, like handling their finances to some degree) is registered in the US as a non-profit. In theory Debian does not have to care, but individual developers and SPI might be vulnerable to lawsuits (even if I doubt SPI can be held legally responsible for anything Debian does, a lawsuit by a company with lots of cash could force them into bankruptcy, meanwhile blocking (or stealing away) important Debian projects fundings...).
But we also has to remember that patent law does not only apply to the distribution, all users of Debian is also a target for litigation if Debian haven't licensed the patent in such a way that it's users are covered. There was a company a few years ago that had patents against MSSQL and they never sued Microsoft, instead they sued a few companies that they knew used MSSQL.
They could only go after users of which they know they use S3TC compression algorithms.
I.e. only users who
- use runtime compression (as opposed to making precompressed textures with nvcompress or Compressonator)
- use software rendering with runtime decompression (e.g. llvmpipe with S3TC input)
- happen to encounter a software fallback path
Whether someone does, is near impossible to find out unless they tell on their own...
This is different from e.g. using MSSQL, which e.g. may appear visibly on error message pages.
It might be sufficient to have the S3TC enabled software installed.
Come on, let's be realistic. How likely is it for an average Joe to get caught running, say, VDrift with S3TC enabled? He (or someone willing to enable him) could even set up an encrypted S3TC runner that contains all the encumbered code. It's not like IP enforcement is easy or cheap anyway. What will they do, go after average Linux gamers?
Besides, I don't think major distributions have to take huge risks to enable this. Just provide a dialog box with a big warning and a download link, much like Gentoo handles fetch restrictions. The encumbered software itself could easily be hosted by somebody else, somewhere else.
If FOSS people aren't giving them a hard time, then who is? Also, like I previously said, remember this isn't only about S3TC: in many cases it's really unclear whether some piece of code infringes on patents.
But that makes the distribution liable for "enabling their users to use the patent without a license" and that will probably be seen as illegal by a court.Quote:
Besides, I don't think major distributions have to take huge risks to enable this. Just provide a dialog box with a big warning and a download link, much like Gentoo handles fetch restrictions. The encumbered software itself could easily be hosted by somebody else, somewhere else.
They can freely choose when and who to sue at any time. Even if they knew that you used the patent they can sue you 19 years later and claim damages due to 19 years of you using the patent without paying a license.Quote:
Actually it does if they dont sue and know about the 'infringing'.
Add to that that sometime in the future probably even individual users will be targeted, the patent trolls like Lodsys consists only of layers so for them to litigate in court is completely free of charge, while you have to pay your lawyer a substantial amount of money meaning that you will more likely pay a settlement than bring the case to court (this is how the entertainment industry earns money from (supposedly) file sharers).

These sound like excellent proposals to me. It's just a stupid thing to keep delaying a release because one of the many new features isn't ready but it is being developed in the git master.
Phoronix: Proposed Process Changes For X Server 1.8
While the X.Org developers are responsible for a lot of critical code and much of it is quite old and massive, they are often challenged by hitting a release on time and often face multiple release schedules before coming close to delivering a new X Server / X.Org release. Just take a look at X.Org 7.4 Finally Released, X.Org 7.5 Released...
These sound like excellent proposals to me. It's just a stupid thing to keep delaying a release because one of the many new features isn't ready but it is being developed in the git master.
Kudos to Mr. Hutterer for grabbing this massive, raging bull by the horns.
I'm shocked something like this wasn't proposed sooner. Those look like rather obvious things.
This way Xorg, KDE , GNOME would have the same 6 month release cycle... If only those would be synced to happen at the same time ... Would be so nice...
Yeah and if only all features took as long to be written and if only all coders wrote code as fast and... Oh, wait, it's impossible in practice?
Peter does exactly that, and that's a good thing.
There has to be a sliding schedule, with the bottom of the stack releasing first, then the one next up. After an xorg release, the KDE/GNOME devs want some time to test their code against the new xorg before releasing. After the KDE/GNOME-Releases, the distros want some testing before shipping. etc
but all that is only important if you care about half-yearly time-based distro releases. I personally don't (gentoo), but many do.
I love this proposal. I think it adapts terribly well to the nature of free software building; both for the effects on the project itself and for the effects on the rest of the projects that depend on it.
So, I think this idea should be not only implemented at X.org but also copied by other free software projects.
I think chaos can be tamed on the free software ecosystem thanks to this techniques. And if we achieve that, a resonance effect will emerge producing a wave of freedom that will smash window panes all across Microsoft offices. FUCK YES!
This means that for (e.g.) Ubuntu 10.10 development to be started by May, apps should be in beta by May. And for apps development to be started by February, its components should be in beta by February. And so on.
Well, probably real life is more complex than that, but I think that if it makes sense conceptually, we should be able to manage ourselves to make it happen.

Many colleges are breaking the law by not properly investigating alleged sexual assaults on campus, according to a report released Wednesday by Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.)
The report, based on a survey of more than 300 colleges nationwide, found that one in five institutions allowed their athletic departments to have some oversight of cases involving student athletes. Worse, the survey found that more than 40 percent of colleges nationwide hadn't conducted a single sexual assault investigation in the last five years.
The latter stat, McCaskill said, "means they're saying that there have been zero incidents of sexual assault on their campuses in the last five years. That is hard to believe."
Gender was not the reason former partner Ellen Pao was passed over for a promotion at prominent venture capital firm Kleiner, Perkins, Caufield and Byers, a California jury in Silicon Valley declared Friday. After the verdict was read, however, the jury was sent back to deliberate on one of the four claims, which did not have the necessary majority of at least nine jurors to constitute an official decision — the jurors had ruled eight to four in favor of Kleiner.
Pao's suit asked for $16 million in lost wages and future earnings, in addition to a potential $144 million in punitive damages.
Ecologist and GMO advocate Patrick Moore wants to set the record straight about a recent WHO report that classified glyphosate, which is found in Roundup and other weed-killers, as "probably carcinogenic" to humans.
Moore appeared on French news channel Canal+ to explain that Roundup isn't dangerous, telling the Canal+ reporter that "you can drink a whole quart of it and it won't hurt you."
Understandably, the reporter's response is, "You want to drink some?" Moore quickly declines the offer, saying that he won't drink it because "I'm not stupid," though he does add that he knows it is "not dangerous to humans." Check out the interview in the video below. —Meghan DeMaria
Correction: This article originally referred to Patrick Moore as a Monsanto lobbyist. In a statement written after this article was published, Monsanto said Moore "is not and has never been a paid lobbyist for Monsanto." This article has since been corrected. We regret the error.
On Friday afternoon, NASA launched a two-man crew for a one-year space mission on the International Space Station. The pair includes Scott Kelly, an American astronaut, and Mikhail Kornienko, a Russain cosmonaut.
The journey will be especially notable because Kelly's identical twin brother, Mark, is staying on Earth. Mark will undergo genetic studies while his brother is in space, and scientists will use data from both twins to further explore how the body changes while in space for longer periods of time.
The mission is also a test for future trips to Mars, where astronauts could stay in orbit for 500 days or more.
Physical attacks, drug deals, and bathroom sex are what Zephyrhills High School administrators are trying to put an end to, but students and parents aren't pleased with a new policy that requires students to be escorted to the bathroom.
"We're in high school; we shouldn't be babysat. We should be able to go to the bathroom," one student told WFTS.
But Zephyrhills High principal Andrew Frelick explained that students have also been spreading feces in the bathroom, fighting in the hallways, and stealing when left unchaperoned. In the face of backlash to the new rule, AOL reports that the policy has been changed slightly, and now only students with disciplinary or academic issues will require an escort.
AMC's long-discussed Walking Dead spin-off finally has an official title. The new TV show will be called Fear The Walking Dead — a title that provides a helpful contrast to all those non-scary zombies in the original series.
Few details about Fear the Walking Dead are known, but inside sources say the show is set in Los Angeles at the beginning of the zombie outbreak. Its story is not expected to overlap with the original The Walking Dead, which is set to air its season five finale on Sunday.
Fear The Walking Dead is expected to premiere late this summer. AMC has already ordered two seasons, because come on, this zombie craze is never going to fade, right?
A New York state high school celebrating National Foreign Language Week caused an uproar when a student recited the Pledge of Allegiance in Arabic. Student Andrew Zink said reciting the pledge in different languages was meant to show that "what makes you American is not the language you speak, but the ideas you believe in." But the district superintendent publicly apologized, saying the use of Arabic "divided the school in half."
Being hassled at the airport by TSA is a nuisance every traveler wants to avoid — and now a "secret behavior checklist" released by The Intercept may help passengers do just that.
Screening of Passengers by Observation Techniques, or SPOT, is the program used by TSA officers to spot suspicious-looking characters. Individuals who exhibit certain characteristics such as "excessive throat clearing" and "exaggerated yawning" earn a point or two toward their ranking of likely-terrorist. Conversely, points are deducted if you're a member of a family or if you're of a more advanced age.
Other factors on the 92-point checklist that might cause TSA to pay special attention to you at the airport include "face pale from recent shaving of beard," "unusual items," and "fast eye blink rate."
The SPOT program has repeatedly come under fire by critics who question the effectiveness of behavior detection and those who say the program could lead to racial profiling. In 2013, a Government Accountability Office report found that evidence did not support whether the SPOT techniques were effective in identifying "persons who may pose a risk to aviation security."

Requires the date command. This also works with some other comics. Here's a bash script that displays daily Garfield, Id, and Andy Capp:
Not perl but shorter.
This script creates date based backups of the files. It copies the files to the same place the original ones are but with an additional extension that is the timestamp of the copy on the following format: YearMonthDay-HourMinuteSecond
A shell function using perl to easily convert Unix-time to text.
Put in in your ~/.bashrc or equivalent.
Tested on Linux / Solaris Bourne, bash and zsh. using perl 5.6 and higher.
(Does not require GNU date like some other commands)
this works on Solaris, so not better than the "only-GNU"-tool :-(
I think, there is no one-liner for this, that will work on all *nix-es
Only shows files with actual changes to text (excluding whitespace). Useful if you've messed up permissions or transferred in files from windows or something like that, so that you can get a list of changed files, and clean up the rest.
Use `zless` to read the content of your *rss.gz file:
zless commandlinefu-contribs-backup-2009-08-10-07.40.39.rss.gz
A quick and simple way of outputting the start and end date of a certificate, you can simply use 'openssl x509 -in xxxxxx.crt -noout -enddate' to output the end date (ex. notAfter=Feb 01 11:30:32 2009 GMT) and with the date command you format the output to an ISO format.
For the start date use the switch -startdate and for end date use -enddate.
This command displays a clock on your terminal which updates the time every second. Press Ctrl-C to exit.
A couple of variants:
A little bit bigger text:
watch -t -n1 "date +%T|figlet -f big"
You can try other figlet fonts, too.
Big sideways characters:
watch -n 1 -t '/usr/games/banner -w 30 $(date +%M:%S)'
This requires a particular version of banner and a 40-line terminal or you can adjust the width ("30" here).
Quick and easy way of validating a date format of yyyy-mm-dd and returning a boolean, the regex can easily be upgraded to handle "in betweens" for mm dd or to validate other types of strings, ex. ip address.
Boolean output could easily be piped into a condition for a more complete one-liner.
Not a discovery but a useful one nontheless.
In the above example date format is 'yyyymmdd'. For other possible formats see 'man date'.
This command can be also very convenient when aliased to some meaningful name:
alias mkdd='mkdir $(date +%Y%m%d)'
The British Government entering in the Gregorian era.
This example, for example, produces the output, "Fri Feb 13 15:26:30 EST 2009"
Echos the number of seconds from the current time till the specified time (Example in command is (2**31-1)) aka the Unix epoch. Just replace that number with the specified date (in seconds past Jan. 1st 1970) and it will return the seconds.
NOTE: Only works in bash
An improved version of http://www.commandlinefu.com/commands/view/1772/simple-countdown-from-a-given-date that uses Perl to pretty-print the output. Note that the GNU-style '--no-title' option has been replaced by its one-letter counterpart '-t'.

They see me rollin'.. They hatin'
Phoronix: NVIDIA 310.14: OpenGL 4.3, Threaded Optimizations
NVIDIA pushed out their first Linux graphics driver beta in the 310.xx series on Monday. The NVIDIA 310.14 driver supports OpenGL 4.3, brings threaded OpenGL performance optimizations, and many other new features. The NVIDIA 310.14 Beta for Linux is an exciting release!..
They see me rollin'.. They hatin'
I guess the opensource zealots thing was kinda true in the end.
Nvidia might be unable to implement Optimus through DMA-BUF though due to legal issues, regardless of zealotry etc.
Glad to see improvements on the driver though.
Hopefully Catalyst 12.9 will have some good improvements too.
I even recall thinking to myself "why did Nvidia invent VDPAU which has such severe issues with moving windows" now I know it was just a bug in their driver.
PS: to test VDPAU I used smplayer since neither gstreamer/Totem, nor VLC use it, at least not by default and I heard VLC's usage of VDPAU if enabled is not efficient.
Last edited by mark45; 10-15-2012 at 04:34 PM.
Wasn't nvidia supposed to have this for years? Or is it only now coming to linux, having been on windows for long?
Yes, threaded optimizations have been supported under Windows for a while now.

... haven't been to enough comics events in Seattle lately, I'm participating in this at Hugo House tonight:
The Hugo House InPrint Series presents:
Why Publish With an Independent or Small Press?
An Evening with Northwest Independent Press Publishers
Tuesday, April 15th, 2008, 7:00 - 9:00
Richard Hugo House, 1634 11th Ave. Seattle
Admission $3 members/$5 non-members
Why Publish With an Independent or Small Press?
The Northwest features a handful of excellent independent press publishers who are producing interesting work and attracting positive critical attention and awards.
Tonight editors and publishers from several publishers will be on hand to explain the advantages of publishing with an independent small press and how to go about it. Our speakers will cover the editing and business side of small press, from queries and pitches to editorial preferences and distribution.
Small press publishers can serve audiences that aren't normally served by larger publishers who can only publish very commercial work, allowing them to get away from publishing only work that appeals to the largest common denominator of readers. Once books have been published and received positive reviews, they often attract the attention of larger publishers for broader distribution. All of your questions will be answered and you'll come away with valuable information and contacts for publishing.

Looking for Car Speakers?Start shopping
Crutchfield's Honda Civic
Items installed:
- Sony Xplod CDX-MP450X CD receiver with MP3 playback
- Polk Audio dX3055 5-1/4" component system — front kick panels
- Polk Audio dX9 6"x9" speakers — rear deck
- Q-Logic QL-K6005B44 Q-Form kick panel enclosure
- Sony XM-1505SX 5-channel amplifier (40 watts x 4 + 150 x 1)
- StreetWires 8-gauge amp wiring kit
- Rockford Fosgate Punch RFZ2410 4-ohm subwoofers
- Q-Logic QLH-1.0010dx Dual 10" Hatchback box
Sony CD receiver runs the show from the dash
We chose the Sony CDX-MP450X CD receiver to go in the dash of the 2000 Civic. This versatile receiver features a fold-down detachable face, a superb AM/FM tuner, and the ability to play MP3 files that have been recorded on CD-Rs or CD-RWs. Since there's no subwoofer in this system, Sony's D-Bass is a crucial feature, offering three-step bass enhancement for maximum low-frequency impact without affecting the mids and highs.
Q-Logic's kick panel enclosures create a rockin' front soundstage
Q-Logic makes the QL-K6005B44 Q-Form specifically for 1996-2000 Honda Civics. This rugged plastic kick panel enclosure replaces the factory kick panel (down by the driver's and passenger's feet), has openings for a 5-1/4" woofer and tweeter, and is color-matched to the Honda interior. (For more on why kick panel enclosures are a great idea, see our article on imaging.)
Polk Audio speakers bring the tunes to life
We chose Polk Audio's dX3055 5-1/4" component system with its polymer composite woofers and 1" silk dome tweeters to provide the front soundstage in the Civic. We installed Polk Audio's dX9 6"x9" speakers on the rear deck — their 3-way design provides plenty of musical detail for back seat listeners. In the Civic's quiet interior, the powerful imaging of the Polk dX components won't be lost to road noise, and the bass from the dX 6"x9"s should be more then enough for most listeners.
Sony XM-1505SX amp works multi-channel magic in the trunk
We mounted Sony's Xplod XM-1505SX multi-channel amp in the Civic's trunk, with four channels of 40 watts RMS to power the front and rear speakers — and a 150-watt subwoofer channel for future system expansion. The StreetWires 8-gauge amp wiring kit provided power and signal connections.
This combination of components produces a clean, full-range sound with strong imaging and plenty of low-end punch for the Civic's quiet interior. And the extra channel on the Sony amp makes it a breeze to add a subwoofer at a later date.
All at once, or one step at a time
Keep in mind that you don't have to purchase and install a system like this all at once. The beauty of creating a car stereo system is that you can do it one step at a time. In fact, we plan to beef up the bass in our Civic with a pair of Rockford Fosgate 10" subs in a Q-logic hatchback box. With the subs wired in parallel to the amp's subwoofer channels, we should have enough bass to get the mirror's shaking.
If you have no installation experience, try replacing your speakers first — it will give you a taste of dismantling and reassembling your vehicle. Have fun out there!
This 2000 Honda Civic looks good outside, sounds great inside.
Sony's versatile XplodCD receiver makes a great system controller with a rotary control knob and wireless remote, the ability to play MP3 CDs, and the tone-shaping power of D-Bass.
The Polk Audio 5-1/4" component system installs seamlessly in the Q-Logic kick panel enclosure, creating a powerful front soundstage in the Civic.
Left: The Civic's naked rear deck, the Polk Audio 6"x9" speakers, and Crutchfield's MasterSheet™ installation instructions.
Right: The Polks are ready to rock in the reinstalled rear deck.
The Sony Xplod 5-channel amplifier pushes 40 watts RMS to each of the front and rear speakers — with a spare 150 watts ready for subwoofer action.
