Product description
The islands off Ireland's west coast form a rich cultural landscape, the result of a unique combination of the forces of nature and humankind. This photographic collection, infused with warmth, spans almost fifty years. It celebrates the islanders and their environment, and reflects on disappearing traditions and values in the face of materialism and pop culture. The work portrays the islanders' spirit of perseverance in the face of adversity, their humanity and dignity, their wit and humour.

Think "Full Metal Jacket" restaged as an Asian ghost movie, and you'll be halfway to "R-Point," a fresh spin on the Korean horror genre after a summer which saw the usual haunted-schoolgirl template reach burnout. Vietnam War-set hokum about a band of South Korean soldiers spooked and sliced in a remote jungle setting drew a healthy 2 million admissions in early fall on the back of heavy promo, and looks likely to haunt Western genre distribs' catalogs as well.In summer 1972, strange radio transmissions are received from soldiers of Battalion 53 — soldiers who were thought to be dead six months earlier. Traumatized Choi Tae-in (Gam Woo-seong, commanding), still recovering in the hospital from a battle in which he was the only survivor, is sent with a platoon of hicks, nuts and psychos to investigate the source of the radio signals, a Bermuda Triangle-like area known as R-Point. Supposedly based on a true story — which is not, in fact, the case — pic follows the motley group for five days as they're shot at by mysteriously invisible Viet Cong, hole up in a decaying mansion, and slowly realize the mansion is haunted by people massacred by Chinese 100 years earlier. One by one, members of the group go down. Frosh helmer Gong Su-chang certainly has the scripting background for such material: His earlier pics include Vietnam war drama "White Badge," the Korean re-make of "The Ring" and serial-killer psychodrama "Tell Me Something." Thoroughly generic story lacks any real complexity or surprising pay-off, but is highly focused and helmed in a crisp style, with only a slight flabbiness in its mid-section. Climactic scenes inside the mansion have an emotional intensity that shows the influence of producer Jang Yun-hyeon, who also helmed "Tell Me Something." Cambodian locations double OK for Vietnam, and the sprawling mansion — an abandoned French colonial building from the 1920s — makes an atmospheric extra character in the story. (Interiors were later seamlessly recreated in a studio back home for reshoots.) Visual effects are sparingly used but fine. Title, never explained, comes from a novel by Hwang Suk-yeong ("A Tower"), that Gong admired.

Fictive interaction and the conversation frame: An overview
Esther Pascual
In this talk I will define the notion of fictive interaction as the use of the conversation frame in order to structure cognition, discourse, and grammar (Pascual 2002, 2006b, 2014). I discuss how thought (e.g. talking to oneself) and the conceptualization of experience (e.g. "A good walk is the answer to headache") are partly modeled by the pattern of conversation, and present the kinds of fictive interaction for different functions and on different levels: (i) the discourse (e.g. overt monologues structured as dialogues), and (ii) the language system and its use, at different grammatical levels: (iii) the inter-sentence ("Any questions? Call us"); (iv) the sentence ("Why bother?"); (v) the clause ("They felt, augh!"); (vi) the phrase ("the attitude of yes, I can"); (vii) the word ("forget-me-nots"); and (viii) the morpheme ("Idontknowsexual").
I also provide a list of its defining characteristics (conversational features, non-actual and non-token interpretation, metonymy), and explain what makes this ubiquitous phenomenon, widespread across languages, discourse genres, and sociolinguistic groups, worth studying, and what its theoretical implications are. In the talk I will provide an overview of earlier work on fictive interaction by myself and others, and briefly refer to talks to be presented at the workshop.
Fictive Interaction in The Daily Show with Jon Stewart
Paula Rebelo Fonseca and Pilar Alonso Rodríguez
The Daily Show with Jon Stewart is an American late night satirical news program that uses a number discourse conventions to mock political actors and obtain a humorous reaction from the audience (Baym 2005). In this paper, we analyze how the host widely uses a cognitive strategy to do this, fictive interaction (Pascual 2002, 2006) within a Cognitive Linguistics perspective (Fauconnier and Turner 1998). The episode about the first debate of the 2012 US presidential election was chosen due to the numerous fictive interactions that occur between Jon Stewart and President Barack Obama. This fictivity is used to present the host's opinions, beliefs and perspectives camouflaged in humor in order to show viewers that the President could and should have done better.
Generic integration templates for fictive communication
Mark Turner and Cristóbal Pagán Cánovas
In this talk we seek to show that the human mind can create blended discourse, or fictive communication, because it is able to do advanced conceptual blending. Thanks to advanced blending, human beings can integrate unrelated experiences and concepts into new mental wholes with novel properties. We analyze how instances of fictive communication are made possible by generic templates for conceptual blending. Fictive communication is a blending pattern combining several generic templates, most of which were not originated in relation to discourse. Fictive communication inherits the whole structure of fictive interaction, which involves fictivity, compression patterns, and an interaction frame that includes counterfactuality. Complex, classic blended joint attention is added, and the interaction frame selected is the one for communication.
Pragmaticalization of fictive questions to focus constructions in Catalan Sign Language
Maria Josep Jarque & Esther Pascual
This paper deals with the multifunctional use of the question-answer sequence, which constitutes a prototypical conversational and intersubjective structure, in Catalan Sign Language. In a large number of languages, spoken and signed, polar and content questions, and their subsequent answers, is used for the expression of non-information-seeking functions, namely topicality, conditionality, focus, connection, and relativization. Specifically, we examine fictive questions to express focus in own-data from informational and opinion TV and vlogs addressed to the Catalan Sign Language community and produced by native signers. The analysis shows that this sequence has been grammaticalized and constitutes the unmarked or by-default option to encode these linguistic functions. We argue that the pattern is a highly schematic symbolic unit and that the specific linguistic constructions, which are instances of fictive interaction, form a complex network.
Who's reading? Rhetorical questions as intersubjective mixed viewpoint constructions in an Old Chinese Text
Mingjian Xiang
This paper deals with rhetorical questions in the entire Zhuangzi. This text is highly interactionally structured, with a large number of non-information seeking questions, such as rhetorical questions used for rhetorical purposes (Xiang & Pascual 2014). Rhetorical questions have interrogative syntax, but the illocutionary force of a strong assertion of the opposite polarity from what is presented as being 'asked' (Sadock 1974; Han 2002). As in English, yes-no questions in Classical Chinese can be used as rhetorical questions in certain contexts, lacking grammatical marking and thus being entirely context-dependent. Moreover, there are eight different grammatical indicators (particles, pronouns and lexical items) of rhetorical question usage in Old Chinese texts (Pulleyblank 1995). These are distinguished according to the positive and/or negative polarity of the answer expected. For instance, they may also indicate whether the rhetorical question in general appear with an adjective or is used adverbially (e.g. "You haven't had it in yourself yet, how can you expect to care for the behaviors of a tyrant?", ch. 4 Wang 1999: 49) or whether the rhetorical question is used to present either a comment (e.g. "'But that's all that can be said for it. How would you succeed in making a new man of him?", ch. 4 Graham [1981] 2001: 68) or a comparison (e.g. "Even the sages cannot resist the temptations of gains and fames; so how can you?', ch. 2 Wang 1999: 51).\
My corpus search suggests that there are 405 instances of rhetorical questions in the entirely Zhuangzi text (Xiang & Pascual 2014).These questions should produce either affirmative or negative answers in the reader's mind, thereby involving a fictive type of interaction with the addressee (cf. Pascual 2002, 2006a, 2014). I regard rhetorical questions as intersubjective constructions (Verhagen 2005, 2008), which do not just involve a conceptual blend of question and assertion but also a viewpoint blend (Dancygier & Sweetser 2012) of the assumed reader's perspective and that of the writer's. Moreover, there are also multiple viewpoint blending chains in Zhuangzi when a rhetorical question is produced by a character in the text (e.g. a talking shrine oak tree), which is meant to be conceptually integrated with the writer (Xiang forth.).
'Ta-daa!": The fictive comic. Imaginative storytelling with aphasia.
Christine Versluis
Ron (age 31) is an aphasic speaker. Since he had a stroke his capacity to use language is limited. Particularly he has a slow rate of speech, word-finding difficulties, and his utterances lack grammatical elaboration and function words. I present Ron's personal story about the event of his stroke, which shows a highly strategic use of interactive structure. I explore the assumption that his story is actually structured like a comic with FI-structures setting up a sequence of fictive frames. This strategy enables Ron to represent an evaluative perspective and conceptualize the past event on a fairly abstract level despite his aphasic condition.
On discourse-motivated 'sorries': Fictive apologies in English, Hungarian, and Romanian
Gusztav Demeter
Traditional approaches to the study of conversation implied that all participants are present in the interaction. Such approaches viewed the conversation as face-to-face interaction (Goffman 1959) based on turn-taking (Sacks, Schegloff, and Jefferson 1974), with participants speaking one at a time. However, cognitive approaches to discourse have shown that participants are not always actual, but can also be virtual (Langacker 1999), and can therefore participate in fictive interactions (Pascual 2002, 2006). In line with such approaches, speech acts can also occur in fictive interactions as fictive speech acts (Pascual 2002; Demeter 2011; Pascual 2014). This presentation discusses the forms and functions of fictive apologies as a manifestation of fictive interaction with examples from three languages: English, Hungarian, and Romanian.
The analysis is carried out from a usage-based perspective with examples from several corpora containing both spoken and written discourse. In terms of form, fictive apologies are instantiations of a construction containing an explicit expression of apology and a noun of address, which marks the fictive interaction in the conversation frame and a role shift from bystander or audience to addressee. To illustrate the phenomenon of a fictive apology, consider this example from an editorial on environmental issues published before a world climate conference in 2009: "Hansen and his team have shown that we could actually burn most of the oil in our wells (but sorry Canada, not the tar sands)" (Davies 2008). In this example, the apology is addressed to Canada, which is not an actual participant in the conversation between the writer and the reader, but rather a fictive one. In turn, the reader becomes what Goffman (1963) termed a bystander. Both the pragmatic offense and the apology are therefore fictive, as well. Fictive apologies perform multiple functions, such as disagreement, irony, refusal, accusation, humorous insult, and empathy. This presentation reports on the first extended study of fictive apologies that contributes to a more integrated account of the conversation frame.
Renata Geld. Wednesday, 18 March 2015, 4:00-5:30pm. Crawford Hall, room 618. Title: Multimodality in second-language offline processing. Renata Geld is a professor in the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences at the University of Zagreb.
Abstract: Learning implies engagement. Even though there are two rather distinct types of learning – implicit and explicit – it is literally impossible to acquire the conceptual complexity behind a particular word without a certain degree of conscious attention being directed to its properties and relations. The issue of engagement becomes even more significant if we know that retention of what has been learnt is greatly affected by the depth of processing that takes place while learning. Marketing experts seem to have learnt this fact very well. A great number of images selected to advertise new products or services have moved to engaging interplay between the visual and the verbal that tricks potential consumers into thinking, relating, re-thinking, making sense, guessing, inferring. The process is generally based on compressed blends (Turner 2006), which transforms knowledge into structures suitable to human-scale understanding. The ultimate goal, at least its first step, is long-term retention. However, this kind of wise cognitive manipulation, unfortunately, does not happen too often in other areas of life. For example, foreign language textbooks are loaded with images whose main purpose is to attract students' attention, which significantly contributes to the affective side of their learning. However, does it help cognitively? Students often remember an attractive photo of a beach on the Pacific Coast but still fail to remember the vocabulary introduced on the same page in the unit. We suggest that one of the reasons why this happens is lack of meaningful and motivated semantic anchoring and reinforcement. The images selected fail to provoke and support the analysis of the conceptual structure and content provided in the text; in other words, they are not conducible to compression. This is especially evident in teaching demanding linguistic structures such as particle-verb constructions or tenses. Still, research into cognitive learning strategies has shown that experienced language learners activate a variety of processes and develop various abilities that mirror general cognitive processes described as aspects of construal within the cognitive linguistic theoretical framework (Geld and Letica Krevelj 2011, Geld and Maldonado 2011). In other words, learners' strategic construal often goes beyond what we have called "verbal and visual paraphrase" and instantiates cognitively motivated links, both within the structure in question and between the structure and its pictorial representation. We argue that this realization can be included into textbooks by employing the emic approach, based on a corpus of student-provided illustrations of figurative senses of phrasal verbs.

Abstract: A participant in any scene of communication is embodied, and so has a viewpoint. An individual person is in a particular spot, in a particular time, with a particular perceptual focus and attention. If I say, "I can help you now with that by looking here," what I have said is unintelligible unless you understand something about my viewpoint, and accordingly what I might mean by "I," "you," "now," "that," and "here," words that could mean many different things in different situations, depending on the viewpoint of the person who says them. All languages have many expressions for expressing viewpoint, but they also have plenty of expressions for expressing blends of viewpoint. "I will come to your party" takes the "I" from the viewpoint of the speaker but the "come" from the viewpoint of the addressee. Literary texts frequently use pyrotechnic constructions of blended viewpoint. This talk will present types of blended viewpoint in language, literature, and media.
This event is sponsored by the Department of Classics and the World Literature Colloquium and is free and open to the public.

This blog covers everything except sports and gardening, unless we find a really good link about using dead professional bowlers for mulch. The author is a StarTribune columnist, has been passing off fiction and hyperbole as insight since 1997, has run his own website since the Jurassic era of AOL, and was online when today's college sophomores were a year away from being born. So get off his lawn.
More to the point, was Furby spying a thing? No. But we'll get to that in a moment.
WEB A piece about web design trends that need to be dropped included a link to the Hipster Logo Design Guide, which is marvelous. In a just world it would have killed that trend graveyard-dead, but there are still clients who want them. You know, these:
One of the trends the author doesn't like was the Long Shadow trend. Was that ever a thing? You know, a thing. The use of the word "Thing" to indicate manifestation or popularity made me believe this headline wasn't a typo:
Surely this was the next generation of slang. Man, that's so thing.
This funky-monkey site site also has an iWatch roundup, giving you the latest news of something that does not exist and for all we know will never exist. It's like the Apple TV, except a bit less vaporous. The Apple TV was the item industry analysts said the company had to make, because it A) gave them something to write about, and B) let them opine about how the lack on AppleTV meant the company no longer innovated, even though there was nothing innovative about an Apple TV. Also, there is an Apple TV, and it's called the AppleTV.
Anyway, here's a new concept by Mark Bell, as seen on Behance:
It's pretty, but good luck hitting those icons.
There are some things the device could do well - time, for example. It's amusing how millions of people stopped wearing watches because their phones had the time on the lockscreeen, and you could take it out like a pocket watch. (I'm still amazed no one sold vests and iPhone chains so you could complete the 19th-century cliche.) The device could also tell you the weather and display texts, which will lead to more fractured conversations: if your phone gives a twitch or a buzz in your pocket while you're talking to someone, you can ignore it, but if your wrist tingles in the middle of a conversation it will be impossible not to look at it. Take someone from 1958 and drop them in a hip cafe in 2016 after everyone's wearing a smart watch, and he'd wonder why everyone is looking at their watch every few minutes. Is everyone bored and impatient with the person to whom they're talking?
But it's this that makes me laugh.
I saw that movie on iMax 3D. Never once wished I could see it again at the 3/8" X 1/12" aspect ratio.
HISTORY Have researchers discovered the lost tomb of Alexander the Great?
A team of archaeologists and historians from the Polish Center of Archaeology, that were conducting some research in the crypt of an ancient christian church, have revealed a mausoleum made of marble and gold that could well be the long lost tomb of Alexander III of Macedon, who went down in history as Alexander the Great.
Before you raise your hand and say "it doesn't matter, the tomb would be empty, the body having been moved to Venice centuries ago," let us consider another story from the site:
There's also a story about Ghandi's loincloth selling for millions of dollars at an auction.
Dr Penelope Davies, a historian with the University of Texas believes that the rise of concrete as a building material may have weakened ancient Rome's entire political system as Consul Pompey and Julius Caesar began "thinking like kings".
The real reason behind the downfall of the Roman Empire might not have been lead contaminating in the water, which is the most popular theory, but the use of concrete as a building material.
Even after the correction, it's still nonsense. Egyptian Pyramids and temples were for a small stratum of the population; Roman bridges and aqueducts were for everyone, and the great civic buildings of Rome were for public functions - ceremonial, bureaucratic, commercial. Rome rose because of concrete.
Votd Some people have a deplorable definition of "prank."

OK, you were right, Dad
Now that people call me Father, I'm beginning to appreciate the trouble I made for my dad when I was young. I'm not talking about any spectacular rebellion. But, like a lot of young guys, I bristled at the idea that anyone should have authority over me.
Repent and Believe
Repentance and belief: these are not two unrelated ideas. The more we indulge our sinful thoughts and desires, the more difficult it is to sustain a life of faith. We no longer see reality as it is. We become blinded by the motes and beams we've allowed to impair us.
Leading up to Lent
Lent is a great gift of our tradition. It's forty days when we get God's help to change the things we most need to change. Make the most of it.
What are we waiting for?
One of the symptoms of our fallen nature is an itch — a dissatisfaction with the way things are. It's a restlessness that makes us want to move on, to do something else or go somewhere different. But our impulsive, random changes don't fix the problem.
History's restless heart
"You have made us for yourself, O Lord, and our hearts are restless till they rest in you." So said Saint Augustine, who was a man of many gifts, but more sins. He was at the same time a spiritual seeker and a spiritual slacker.
How to Make It in the Movies
Want to know how to make it to the top in show business?
I know, I know what you're thinking: I'm a priest! How should I know?
It's about time
"Live in the moment!" It's useful advice. I hear it a lot when I'm worrying or over-planning. Maybe you do, too.

Staff Reporter
NEW DELHI: The Delhi High Court on Wednesday pulled up the Sanskriti School management here for exercising discrimination against students belonging to economically weaker sections of society in admissions.
A Division Bench of the Court comprising Justice A.P. Shah and Justice S. Muralidhar castigated the school management when its counsel submitted that it was running an evening school for poor children.
"Why such a discrimination? You are not doing any charity. It is the public money as the school is being run by government funding," the Bench observed.
The Bench later asked the school management to submit to it the criteria for admission of children and the basis on which it had reserved seats for poor students.
The Bench has been hearing a suo motu petition on the basis of media reports about the school getting Central grants since 2006.
The reports alleged that the school management despite getting Central funds did not give admission to children belonging to economically weaker sections of society.

HELP! Leaves Drooping (Madagascar Dragon Tree) Dracaena marginata
I noticed something weird on my beautiful Madagascar Dragon Tree. I heard it is normal for older foliage to dry and drop. I am just confused about the drooping behaviour of new leaves. They are not as erect as the older ones. What could be wrong. It is water when the soil is dry an inch or 2 and is kept in the living room where it gets indirect filtered sunlight. Temperature is 28-30 Celsius.
Is your Dragon Tree kept in the corner?
DT's need some humidity. They are also Spider Mite magnets, moreso if air is too dry.
Check for webs or white patches.
Although they don't require 8 hours of direct sun, DT's prefer bright light/medium sun.
If it was my plant, I'd first check for insects. Then take it to the shower or sink and spray all parts of leaves/stems. Test soil. If it feels dry water thoroughly.
What size is its pot? What type of soil is it in?
Sometimes, older growth droops, but new growth should stand erect. It's very pale, which tells me 1. insects, 2. lack of light, 3. lack of nutricion.
How old is the soil? Does it get fertilized? Toni
hopefulauthor, my dragon tree is in a far corner of the living room. Light comes from kitchen window. I did not place it near the window since there is too much sun and temperature exceeding 105F in this region. I checked for insects, none so far. The soil is a week old and I was given NPK vitamins/food to be used every month. I do mist it daily, although its been in this place for one month almost since its a new plant. Should I change the position to someplace brighter?
If you're sure there's no insects, yes, I'd place in brighter light.
What size is its pot? If the soil is old, you should consider repotting..If roots aren't filling its previous pot, remove the plant, add new soil, and plant back in the same container.
105F IS hot..do you have another window? Too hot and the plant will die.
Can you summer your DT outdoors in a shady spot?
Also, do you have a picture of entire plant and pot?
Your DT needs trimming.
Using sharp scissors, remove brown edges. Leave about 1/8th of the brown on. For the few leaves that have brown tips, you can either cut off entirely or shape nearest the ends.
Here's its needs:
Well-draining or succulent soil
Bright light..
Soil should dry between waterings
Fertilize once a month, with an All-Purpose plant food, throughout growing seasons.
Daily mistings and/or weekly or monthly shower
Pot size..1-2" larger than rootball
Where do you live? Toni
Thanks for your response Toni. I live in Bahrain which is in middle-east. I cannot put it outdoor, as I live in an apartment and there is no shade, it is very hot here in summer, it will fry. I have attached full size pictures and you can see how happy the Dumb cane is. When it was potted, the pot was 2 inches larger than the walls. Is it alright to take the plant besides a window for a few hours and then have it back anywhere in the house. Can I use fluorescent (energy saving) light during the day for the plant?
Definitely not enough light! Dumbcanes and DT's are worlds apart in their culture requirements, so if ones happy in a particular environment, the other one probably won't be. You'd be better off taking you're chances at the window, frankly. You can train a small fan on it to help cool it down.
Or, you can always give the DT away and find another plant thats more suited to the environment you can provide it. Any number of succulents would really appreciate that window!
Good luck!
Okay. What if I put it 1-2 feet besides east window in bedroom that also has air conditioner with temperature indoor around 18-20C. i.e. 64-68F. Moreover, should the window be open for sunlight or filter sunlight through glass would be enough. Plus will this plant (recover) get better that I have?
You should be able to put it relatively close to the east window, if not directly in front of it. It is a pretty adaptable plant and I've found that as long as it's close to a window it should be ok. The light through the glass is just fine. No sense in wasting electricity by having the A/C running while a window's open!
This plant will indeed recover. It will take some time, and what is brown now won't be green again. But it will eventually be ok given enough light. As Toni said, fertilize it once a month, especially if you plant to give it strong light. And do keep an eye out especially for spider mites in that dry heat! Though they can also get nasty mealy infestations. I personally disagree with the misting suggestion since theres no benefit to be had. It will cool the plant for only a few minutes in that high heat, and the water that does evaporate will not stay by the plant to humidify it. If you plan to spray it once every 10 minutes, THEN you might see a benefit, otherwise its a wasted time. However, it won't hurt anything to spray once or twice a day, so if it makes you feel better, spray away!
I placed it near the window and gets sunlight on the eastern side through the window glass. however, i must understand what kind of fertilizer is used. I was only given something called NPK which is in solid form to be used once a month. I dont know if that is what is required or something more.

Re: BigSheets not working2013-03-22T22:45:56Z in response to SystemAdminThis error occurs when the BigSheets back-end derby database is inaccessible, usually because the derby server has been shut down. Can you please verify that the derby network server has been started? If you ssh into the web console server you can start the derby service via the command: start.sh derby. You can also try to inspect why the derby server may have stopped unexpectedly by looking at derby's log file at /var/ibm/biginsights/derby/derby.log

The Big Parade
... we went into town (Waseca) where there was a County Band Competition It began with a street parade. We lined up with hundreds of others and watched as classic cars - corvets, mustangs etc - old fire engines, cars carrying the 'queens', and 10 college bands with their drum majors and the girls that threw their flags and danced. Some of them were very polished - I thought the best was the one that used the Mary Poppins music complete with Sweeps, chimneys, umbrellas ...

Cross Compiling Qt
On of the great aspects of Qt is that it is cross platform. Not only across desktops, but also across devices. The Qt make tool, qmake, can be configured to cross compile for different architectures using different compilers and different settings. How to do all this is reasonably straight forward, but you need to know how to get started.
When you've downloaded and extracted Qt you find yourself facing a configure script with loads of options. Trying to get control of them all can feel overwhelming the first time, so it is good to know what is about to happen.
When you run configure, the build tool, qmake, is built, containing the configuration. This has the implication that you can have multiple qmake binaries for different build targets. QMake is then used to build Qt for the target.
Qt is built from a set of modules, which are separate libraries. This means that you do not have to decide on which modules to use when configuring. Instead, just build everything and make the decision later (using the QT variable in your project file - this is outside the scope of this article). The same applies to plugins (database drivers, image formats, etc).
What is important is if you want to build Qt static or dynamic, if you want to use platform libs for various features (libjpeg, zlib, libpng, etc). Another important, and not so straight forward, configuration option is the compiler to use. This is controlled by what is known as an mkspec - a make specification.
Qt comes with quite a few prepared mkspecs, but it is not uncommon to tweak them a little. They are all kept in the mkspec subdirectory of Qt, with another subdirectory for embedded targets called qws. The spec consists of the files qmake.conf and qplatformdefs.h. The latter is pretty easy to reuse between Linuxes. It defines a number of structures and functions for the underlaying system. The former, qmake.conf, tells qmake how to compile.
Once having found the file, reading it is pretty straight forward. For instance, the QMAKE_CXX variable should list the C++ compiler to use, QMAKE_CXXFLAGS lists the flags to use when invoking the C++ compiler, and so on.
Having all this in place, simply use the -xplatform to specify the spec to use. This argument uses the mkspec directory as base, so to use the $(QTDIR)/mkspec/qws/linux-arm-g++ specify -xplatform qws/linux-arm-g++.
Finally, adding the arguments -nomake demos and -nomake examples can save quite a lot of time.

software. On-line, he is known as e8johan.
Unknown option -xplatform
When using Qt Creator under Ubuntu, the option '-xplatform' is unknown (full description can be found at http://www.richelbilderbeek.nl/CppQtCrosscompileToWindowsExample5.htm):
Starting: "/usr/bin/qmake-qt4" /home/richel/qtsdk-2010.04/bin/Projects/Website/CppQtCrosscompileToWindowsExample5/CppQtCrosscompileToWindowsExample5.pro -r -spec linux-g++ CONFIG+=debug -xplatform win32-g++
***Unknown option -xplatform
What am I missing?
Configure, not qmake
Hi, -xplatform is an argument to be given to the configure script of Qt, not to qmake.
Johan Thelin is a consultant working with Qt, embedded and free
software. On-line, he is known as e8johan.
Cross-compiling is not as simple as selecting something from a combobox (yet). This IMHO exciting article gives me the feeling that we're nearly there: one needs only a cross-platform compiler (like mingw) and to modify the Qt/qmake project file. Too bad, the article hasn't been detailed enough for me to get it working. I really look forward to a complete example!

Situated in the heart of sultanehmet, right behind the blue mosque, this hotel was a key highlight of our Istanbul vacation. The breakfast is good and the service very prompt.

The title says it all about my experience at this great hotel. AZIZ went above and beyond to make sure I hit all the perfect spots and even recommended his favorite places to eat. I was also able to shop for my Turkish lamps and received them in a week!! AMAZING!! Perfect location in the old city to be within...
stayed here for three nights - the hotel decor is just lovely, with a lot of attention to detail.

Hotel is located greatly, 2 min walk from Blue Mosque with windows on Hippodrome ancient walls. Place is quiet at day and night.

Many reviews of this hotel would tell you that firstly, the location is a winner and secondly, the prices are competitive.
But the unique selling point of this hotel is definitely the staff. A personal heartfelt thank you to Mr. Aziz & team. Mr. Aziz, sir, you are just simply awesome and if I ever own a hotel, I'd buy...
Hotel is located in a good place in Istanbul with walking distance to Aiga Sofia and Blue Mosque. Stuff were really polite and friendly, the receptionists gave us lots of information on check in day, and always were nice to us. Even invited us for some coffee or tea at nights. Last but not least, it has a good Turkish...
I visited Istanbul for the first time during New Year for 4 days with a group of friends. The hotel manager (Aziz) was extremely professional, and helped to book taxis, day trips, restaurants and gave us advice on where to visit in the town. We even received help when one of our colleagues was taken ill during the stay.
One of the best hotels i' ve ever stayed! Nice and clean rooms with comfortable beds, very good breakfast with amazing view from the breakfast room. Very professional and helpful staff. Really close to main attractions (Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Topkapi), walking distance to Kapali Carsi. I wish i could stay more days!

An especially wet, cool June turned violent last Monday when hailstorms swept through Delaware County, making what has been a difficult growing season even harder.
The hail fell across a wide area and several towns. The stones were largest, perhaps, in Hamden, where Richard Giles and Holley White-Giles have operated Lucky Dog farm for the last nine years.
"It was ferocious," says Richard Giles. "It blew and raged for 30 minutes and pretty much sawed everything down." He doesn't recall his 55 acres receiving quite so much punishment before—from the sky, at least.
Highmount — More than 100 invited guests gathered at the legendary Galli-Curci Mansion in Highmount to hear the house's current resident, Idith Meshulam Korman, play a piano recital celebrating the environment in nature-themed works by Schumann, Ravel, Messiaen and Cage.
The recital, held late in the afternoon on May 23, was a benefit for the local environmental community group, the Catskill Heritage Alliance (CHA), a member of the Save The Mountain coalition of groups opposing the private commercial resort proposed for Belleayre Mountain.

Margaretville —The Northern Catskills Occu-pational Center in Grand Gorge and staff at Margaretville Hospital are again teaming up for an innovative program that gives students a firsthand glimpse into the health care world.
Dr. Jennifer Constable, a chiropractic doctor with a practice in Hamden, will give a presentation on women's health at the Andes Public Library, 242 Main Street (Route 28) on Thursday, June 18 at 6:30 p.m. The talk will cover myths and truths about women's health, review how the body works, and explain the technique of nutrition response testing.

NPR's business starts with living wills for banks.
The nation's biggest banks are getting ready to file plans with the government for how they would unwind their assets if they were to fail. The plans are called living wills. Regulators want to avoid the type of damage the collapse of Lehman Brothers had on the financial system. Big banks have a July 1st deadline to submit their living wills to the Federal Reserve and FDIC. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

In celebration of International Women's Day (Mar 8th) and National Women's History Month, the Echo Chamber presented its annual "Beautiful Sounds of Women…Around the World" special. And what a fantastic list of women we had on this year's show. In Dr. StrangeDub's half of the program we traveled on very rootical ground…much of it being the fertile grround of Jamaica. This half of the show included the sweet sounds of Rita Marley, Susan Cadogan, Dreadlocks Faye, Marcia Griffiths, Judy Mowatt, Dawn Penn, Kalilah Rose, Jah9, Toian, Etana, Ruffi-Ann, Lydia & Shema (of L&S SymfHoney), Cherine, The Angel (of 60 Channels), SXtheMadArtist, O. De Lanzac, Andrea Parker, Jazzmin Tutum (with Zion Train), Hollie Cook, Jaqee, Masia One (with Dubtonic Kru), Ammoye, Trudy TruDiva, Kirsty Rock (of Trumystic), PJ Higgins (with Jah Wobble), and Brenna MacCrimmon (with Baba Zula). Also in the doctor's set, we were honored to play an excerpt from an exclusive mix (featuring an extended remix of the Wailers "Exodus") from renowned DJ Eli Rojas performed live at Ibiza this year.
After the half, DJ Baby Swiss abandoned the ground game, going to the air with Easy Star's "Great Gig in the Sky" (sung by Kirsty Rock), and then taking it even higher with some really sweet weed courtesy of Soom T & Disrupt (to wit, "Weed Is Sweeter"). Flying right past the end zone with us was Little Dragon, a perfect excuse to deliver a well-in-advance heads-up: singer Yukimi Nagano is bringing her crew of musical fire-breathers to Mpls.'s First Avenue Mainroom Thur. May 29th, and Mr. Swiss describes himself as, and I quote, "pumped!" Should be a hot one… and speaking of heat, which rises, we kept right on gaining altitude as we sailed high over the nosebleed seats listening to Eddi Reader (with Little Tempo), Marianne LeFort (with Moon Hop), The Selecter, Ranking Ann, Ill:Esha, Lisa Carbon and more. By the time Swiss reprised his go-to "Kyary Perfume Perfume" mix-up, we were orbiting the moon…
New songs, old favorites & music about chickens!
No show. Preempted by International Women's Day programming.
Today we had an interview with Irish accordionist, Paddy O'Brien. Paddy talked and played a few tunes celebrating has St. Patrick's Day concert at Hosmer Library on 14 March 2 PM.
This was an expanded edition of Good 'N Country due to my friend Willie Dominguez having to leave a half-hour early to tend to personal business. A rare 2 1/2 hour show for us. We hope you enjoyed it!

The IRS has established rules for divorce cases that give dependent children to the custodial parent. Custody is defined as the parent with whom the child spends the most nights, or whose home they claim as their residence if away visiting or at school. In the case of a perfectly equal number of nights spent with both parents, custody is granted to the parent with the highest adjusted gross income. Child support is not a factor in determining custody. If a legal question arises as to who should be the custodial parent, the most recent custody agreement or divorce decree will be honored.
Does a Divorce Decree Supersede Claiming a Dependent on my Taxes?
A divorce can make it difficult to determine which parent may claim children as dependents. In most cases, the IRS states that the custodial parent may claim the child, regardless of any child support arrangement. The custodial parent may, however, give up the right to a dependent, either through the divorce decree or through mutual agreement. In either case, a decree or other arrangement may not necessarily supersede the law.
Standard Dependent Rules
The custodial parent may give up a claim to a dependent either through the divorce decree and child custody agreement or through IRS Form 8332. In this case, the parent claiming the dependent must attach the form or the appropriate sections of the divorce documentation. If documentation is used, it must contain the custodial parent's Social Security number and a statement that the noncustodial parent may claim dependents. The document must be signed and dated by the custodial parent and should list the names of the dependent children as well as the years for which the agreement is effective. Documentation that does not fulfill these requirements will not be acceptable and cannot trump the standard rules.
Deductions and Credits
The parent claiming the child as a dependent may take advantage of the following exemptions, deductions and credits: Head of Household filing status, the child exemption, earned income and child tax credits, dependent care credit, and income exclusion of dependent care benefits.
As of 2012, custodial parents may revoke the claim release granted through a Form 8332 or other documentation at any time. For this reason, many experts advise that a current version of the Form 8332 accompany taxes each year.
