01/08/14 Club Memory Has Expanded
Club Memory is a stigma-free social club for people with early-stage Alzheimer's, Mild Cognitive Impairment or other forms of dementia, and their spouses, partners and care partners. Based on the memory café model popular in Europe, this club began with a small group of people coming together in Sibley's cafeteria in September 2011. Since its inception, Club Memory has continued to grow exponentially, in response to members' and community needs, with membership growing from 10 to over 120 members in just two years.
In 2012, Club Memory formed a partnership with Metropolitan Memorial United Methodist Church (MMUMC) and now holds its twice monthly meetings in MMUMC's stunning Great Hall. The Great Hall is a large, beautifully lit room that easily accommodates the 30 to 50 members. At regular meetings, which take place on the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of each month, members enjoy light refreshments and coffee while engaging in independent activities such as board games, puzzles, sing-alongs, trivia and challenges, sharing of resources and conversing. At Club Memory, conversation, camaraderie and even laughter among peers who truly understand each other open the doorway to living life to its fullest in the face of a dementia diagnosis.
In addition to the twice monthly meetings, social and cultural events are coordinated for Club Memory members as an optional weekly outing. Events have included lunching at local restaurants like the Irish Inn at Glen Echo, touring local museums such as the Hillwood and the Kreeger, going on photography tours to the D.C. Botanic Gardens and enjoying guided tours of places like Lincoln's Cottage and the National Arboretum. Club Memory also offers a support group for people with a diagnosis of dementia. Support groups meet twice per month just prior to Club Memory's regular meetings at MMUMC.
If you or someone you care about has been diagnosed with early-stage Alzheimer's, Mild Cognitive Impairment or any other form of dementia, know that there is hope and support for you and your family. Please contact Ashley Nunn or Marti Bailey at 202-364-7602 to learn more about Club Memory.

Hmm stability or lack of?... Previews of minimised windows on other virtual desktops... Oh whoops forgot I already had this with Kwin (FTW)...
Phoronix: Compiz 0.9.5 Has Arrived
Sam Spilsbury has just tagged Compiz 0.9.5 for release as the latest development milestone for this compositing window manager...
Hmm stability or lack of?... Previews of minimised windows on other virtual desktops... Oh whoops forgot I already had this with Kwin (FTW)...
Kwin is only good if you like KDE ~ while i think KDE is decent, i also think that the K desktop is bloatware. ( i actually won't install a single KDE app on my systems, because of this )..
compiz is fairly stable these days, and runs with a variety of desktops, including gnome, e17, awesome, kde, etc... in the end i think Compiz is much more flexible, and is much more customizable. It's also the closest that the Linux Desktop has to a 'standard' for compositing. (being as most desktops can use it) Although i am not a Ubuntu user - i am happy to see Canonical pump some money and energy into the project. it would be a sad Linux Desktop experience if i could only use kwin or Mutter.
especially since Kwin is essentially a compiz clone and mutter is nothing to write home about.
Compiz is more universal than kwin and works fine in KDE, but for KDE users kwin is probably the best option. It's integration is superior, it has many fine features and for many people it's fast. Try installing some gnome app in KDE, so you'll see what bloatware is. However, it's hard to imagine KDE and Gnome using the same dependencies.
Informed comment then!
I've tried both the newest Kwin and Compiz 0.9.4. Compiz may offer more effects but with my ATI HD4xxxM card it's totally unstable. Kwin may have slower effects - but at least they work (minimised window previews is still not fully supported in Compiz 0.9.4)! What is the use of window previews when they don't work for windows on different desktops... I don't want wobbly windows, window animations, etc. - I just want the useful stuff!
Don't get me wrong. I'm no fanboi for KDE (all the themes look the same). I always use AWN+Gnomenu (in both my Gnome & KDE desktops). Would just like to see Compiz reach a functional parity...
For someone interested in developing C/C++ applications the Qt libraries have to get my vote (excellent standard IDE, documentation and extensive C++ libraries and advantages of - strict type checking, polymorphism, etc.). I've still got to investigate the Gtk 3.xx stuff - hope it's a lot better than the Gtk 2.xx libraries (no standard IDE, written in standard C without the C++ type/argument checking advantages).
i agree on Kwin being the way to go for KDE for sure. i was more pointing out that compiz runs everywhere, you can even use it as standalone.
about bloat gnome vs. kde ~ it'd still have to disagree. whenever i have run KDE (4.6 the last time), there is double the processes running, and significantly more memory in use on average. I like some of the KDE apps, but they are all so integrated into KDE that unless you plan on using KDE, they seem pointless to install ~ unless you want to be running (essentially 2 DEs at the same time), but obviously there are exceptions suh as Kdenlive... and aside from core gnome-apps most of the apps i use are GTK , and don't have much dependencies to gnome, necessarily (ie: GTK doesn't = gnome)
Last edited by ninez; 07-14-2011 at 06:04 PM.
Hmmm. Like I said I was definitely only complaining about Compiz stability!
A recent experiment to run KDE on my flatmates desktop machine sent the graphics card (a bog standard 6200 LE type thing) into thermal meltdown. I turned off all KWin desktop effects. Kwin continued to give some minor screen artifacts and melt down the graphics card...
ouch, that doesn't sound good.
well, certain plugins in compiz (sometimes in combination) can cause instability. but i know on both my machines, compiz is quite stable. So, i think you have to choose plugins wisely. but much like any compositing DE in linux, the odd card/driver just doesn't work that well. - I think this is true of compiz, kwin and gnome shell/mutter. (in fact, i know it is, from using forums).
i hear about bugs in compiz, like windows disappearing and such. but i never seem to be affected by them.
i did have compiz break maybe a month ago, but it was from a bad commit (that was accidental). One of the issues with compiz though, is obviously because there is so many plugins and settings, it is possible to make it very unstable or exhibit *undesired* behaviors. but i think once you know that and set it up the way you like it. those problems go away (unless it's a hardware problem).
i think over the next year, compiz will become much more stable, now that unit tests are in place.. smspillaz, and the other developers are putting a lot of energy into fixing long standing problems in compiz, like not being able to test and debug it easily. which i think have probably plagued it's development.

Even Washington is interested in Blue Bay Center, says speaker "The Blue Bay Healing Center has caught people's interest all the way to the White House. There was spirit in the paper [that the grant request was written on]." Those are the words of Cathleen Brooks who, along with Anna Whiung-Sorrell, director of the Tribes' alcohol program, spent four evenings last week explaining a dream to whoever would listen at dinner meetings from Elmo to Arlee. The dream is a world without the pain of alcoholism. Here on the Flathead, the dream is in the hearts of many people, who will be pooling their resources at the Blue Bay Healing Center (BBHC) northeast of Poison. Brooks, who is the founder of the nationwide Children of Alcohlics organization and a fourth-generation alcoholic herself, told audiences in Elmo, Pablo, St. Ignatius and Arlee, that the Tribes' grant request to fund the healing center ranked fifth in a field of thou- sands received this year in Washington, D.C. Part of the grant's attraction, she said, was that it said the people of the Flathead Reservation wanted to begin healing themselves using local resources. The grant didn't have a lot of clinical words and concepts in it, just sincerity and spirit. It wasn't a matter of saying, 'We need this much money to help others', but rather, 'We'll start with ourselves and help that healing to spread until it touches everyone on the Reser-(Continues on page two) © 00 in Z ONO °o p 2 o Uncertified election results......................

WineAccess Travel Log
Read stories from the world's greatest wine trails.
Marsanne, the most widely planted white grape of the northern Rhone Valley, has a long history-- not in single varietal bottlings, but rather as a blending grape. In Hermitage, Marsanne is blended with Roussane to produce the white wine of the appellation; in our opinion, white Hermitage is one of the most overlooked great wines of the world. Incidentally, along with Roussane, up to 15% of Marsanne can be added to the red wines of Hermitage under AOC regulations. For a stellar example of white Hermitage, try Chave's Hermitage Blanc.
Apart from these origins in the Rhone, Marsanne plantings have expanded in Australia, so much that now 80% of the world's Marsanne is grown there. The grape was first planted in Australia in 1860, and while most of these original vines are gone, the wines in the vineyard of Chateau Tahbilk, in Victoria, are among the oldest in the world, dating to 1927.
A number of challenges in viticulture stand in the way of single varietal Marsanne exploding in popularity. The grape is highly sensitive to extreme temperatures: when the climate is too warm, Marsanne is short on acidity, limiting its ability to age well; when climate is too cool, the wines tend to be neutral and uninteresting. One strategy employed by winemakers is to harvest Marsanne just before it hits full ripeness, in order to retain some acidity.
When Marsanne is bottled on its own, expect a light straw colored wine that is rich in body, with hints of spice, melon and pear. Noteworthy new world producers of the grape include the aforementioned Chateau Tahbilk as well as Tablas Creek in Paso Robles, California. But, ultimately, for the best expression of this grape, even blended, stay in the northern Rhone.
Pair Marsanne and its related blends with shellfish and seafood.

This product is very nice looking. It's nice that it can be plugged in to the wall as well as be on battery. The only flaw in it is the piece that holds the watch is not adjustable. My husbands watch was larger than the piece put in the middle so it would shift around while it turned. This was noisy and annoying. To alleviate this, we stuck the cleaning cloth that came with it just underneath the watch which made it fit snug on to the holder. This product should come with piece being adjustable. Maybe it does on other models???
Very quiet, great product. Quality and look is well made-love it.
when I opened the box, it suprised me, beautiful hard wood finishing, and very clean design, easy plug in and turn on, very quite , works very good, really good purchase
This item was exactly what I wanted. Looks nice sitting on the night stand. He has had it about a month and I works perfectly.
Product arrived within a week of ordering, well packaged. Watch winder came with two bracelet cushions, a small and large. Simple operation and very quiet.
I bought this for one of my husbands Seikos that I didn't know needed a watch winder when I bought the watch. This unit is very well made, the color is beautiful, and is extremely quiet. You cannot hear it turning at nite, even tho it sits on the night stand right next to the bed. For the price, you won't find a better one around.

Subject |
Republic of Texas Annexations Land Politics & government Families Correspondence |
Description | Correspondence from Jas. B. Tartt to Elijah Price, 1844 re: family matters, politics, annexation, farming, financial concerns. |
Date | 1844-04-05 |
Identifier | A26, Box1, Folder2 |

Collection Link | http://library.sfasu.edu/findingaids/?p=collections/controlcard&id=374 |
Biographical Note | Elijah Price was born in Martin County, North Carolina on September 9, 1791. On December 11, 1821 he married Temperance ("Tempe") Thomas of Stantonsburg, North Carolina. They remained in North Carolina until 1830, at which time they moved to Lawrence County, Alabama. They also lived in Sumter County, where Price served as a State Representative in the Alabama Legislature. In 1841 the Price family moved to Texas, staying for a while in Polk (then Liberty) County, then later settling on a large plantation near San Augustine. Price was a Mason, an Odd Fellow, and a member of Christ Episcopal Church. He died in San Augustine on November 17, 1852, leaving his widow to continue running the plantation until her death about 1859. There were ten children in the Price family, and the plantation was sold after Tempe died. (Price, William Hall and Mackenzie, Ann Price, Price Family Record, 1976; Crocket, G. L., Two Centuries in East Texas, Dallas: Southwest Press, 1932) |
Scope and Content Note | William F. Price Collection, 1837-1867 Most of the collection consists of papers of Elijah and Temperence Price, but there are also papers relating to the Blount & Price mercantile business, George Fulton Crocket and his family, and S[tephen] W[illiam] Blount & Co., all of San Augustine. Crocket and Blount, along with Travis Gustavus Broocks and Mathew Cartwright, jointly operated a steam mill near San Augustine which appears to have had facilities for sawing lumber and grinding grain. The papers include correspondence; financial records relating to cotton; personal and business bills, accounts, and receipts; and legal papers. The bills and accounts give details about consumer purchases such as clothing, fabrics, food, household items, medical expenses, school books, and music. Letterheads on the business stationery are decorated with ships, lighthouses, and covered wagons. A genealogy including some of this line of the Price family is available in "Price Family Record" compiled by William Hall Price and Anne Price Mackenzie (1976). William F. Price was the grandson of Elijah and Tempe Price. |

Transcript | Mobile AL, April 5th 1844 E. Price Esquire Dear Sir, I received your favor of the 17th of February a few weeks past and was happy to learn from it you were better satisfied with your country than you had been at first. I hope you and your adopted country will both prosper. Much is now being said in the United States about annexing Texas to the Union, and so far as President Tyler and his cabinet, and President Houston and his cabinet are concerned, the Treaty is already agreed on. Much confidence is expressed by many of the leading journals in the South (both Whig and Democrat) that the Treaty will be confirmed by the Senate, but I am firmly convinced that it will not at this time, if it ever does. I wish to caution you against making any purchase of property based on any such calculation, for men are now ready to go to Texas for the purpose of speculating in real estate, on the prospect of its being annexed to the U.S. John C. Calhoun is now Secretary of State under Mr. Tyler and is a warm friend for annexation, but Mr. Benton is said to be against at this time, and this question is likely to disturb political parties. On this account it will be laid over by the Senate until after the Presidential election, for both parties are afraid of it. It is now believed that Mr. Clay's election is as certain as any future event to be determined by men; if he should succeed, his influence, I have no doubt, would be in favor of Texas. I called on Mr. W. J. Steele and showed him your letter and he said he would write you. A. B. Thomas has moved to Mississippi near where Warren B. Barnes is. I do not know his post office. Aunt Susan Thomas, you will have learnt before this, is dead. Morison Thomas has lost two of his children this past winter, and most of his family have suffered much from sickness. Willie Ruffin died about two weeks ago. Doctor Blake Little is married to Mrs. Jones, widow of Blake Jones. Times have improved here very much in the last year and things are looking quite cheerful again to most people, but there are many like myself who have no means to do anything with. They are trying to get situations to do business for them to make enough to keep soul and body together. Cotton has declined some but we are getting from 6 to 9 in sound funds, which is fifty percent better than last year. Our last news from Liverpool is not quite so good and it has depressed the market in the U.S., but I think we shall get better prices another year, as trade is in a very healthy condition throughout the world. My health is very good and I am heavier than I have been in twenty five years. I know of nothing more of special interest to write you, so far as I know your old friends in Sumter are well, and I hope this may find you and family in good health and cheer. Give my respects to cousin Temperance and other members of your family, and be assured of my continued esteem. Yours, etc. Jas B. Tartt |

This test is done by a doctor who specializes in performing and interpreting imaging tests (radiologist) or by an ultrasound technologist (sonographer) who is supervised by a radiologist. It is done in an ultrasound room in a hospital or doctor's office.
You will need to take off any jewelry that might interfere with the ultrasound scan. You will need to take off all or most of your clothes, depending on which area is examined (you may be allowed to keep on your underwear if it does not interfere with the test). You will be given a cloth or paper covering to use during the test.
You will lie on your back (or on your side) on a padded exam table. Warmed gel will be spread on your abdomen (or back) to improve the quality of the sound waves. A small handheld unit called a transducer is pressed against your abdomen.
You may be asked to change positions so more scans can be done. For a kidney ultrasound, you may be asked to lie on your stomach.
You need to lie very still while the ultrasound scan is being done. You may be asked to take a breath and hold it for several seconds during the scanning. This lets the sonographer see organs and structures, such as the bile ducts, more clearly because they are not moving. Holding your breath also temporarily pushes the liver and spleen lower into the belly so they are not hidden by the lower ribs, which makes it harder for the sonographer to see them clearly.
Abdominal ultrasound usually takes 30 to 60 minutes.
You may be asked to wait until the radiologist has reviewed the information. The radiologist may want to do more ultrasound views of some areas of your abdomen.
The gel may feel cold when it is put on your skin unless it is first warmed to body temperature. You will feel light pressure from the transducer as it passes over your abdomen. The ultrasound usually is not uncomfortable. But if the test is being done to check damage from a recent injury, the slight pressure of the transducer may be somewhat painful. You will not hear or feel the sound waves.
There are no known risks from having an abdominal ultrasound test.
An abdominal ultrasound uses reflected sound waves to produce a picture of the organs and other structures in the abdomen.
The size and shape of the abdominal organs appear normal. The liver, spleen, and pancreas appear normal in size and texture. No abnormal growths are seen. No fluid is found in the abdomen.
The diameter of the aorta is normal, and no aneurysms are seen.
The thickness of the gallbladder wall is normal. The size of the bile ducts between the gallbladder and the small intestine is normal. No gallstones are seen.
The kidneys appear as sharply outlined bean-shaped organs. No kidney stones are seen. No blockage to the system draining the kidneys is present.
An organ may appear abnormal because of inflammation, infection, or other diseases. An organ may be smaller than normal because of an old injury or past inflammation. An organ may be pushed out of its normal location because of an abnormal growth pressing against it. An abnormal growth (such as a tumor) may be seen in an organ. Fluid in the abdominal cavity (ascites) may be seen.
The aorta is enlarged, or an aneurysm is seen.
The liver may appear abnormal, which may point to liver disease (such as cirrhosis or cancer).
The walls of the gallbladder may be thickened, or fluid may be present around the gallbladder, which may point to inflammation. The bile ducts may be enlarged because of blockage (from a gallstone or an abnormal growth in the pancreas). Gallstones may be seen inside the gallbladder.
The kidneys or the tubes that drain the kidneys (ureters) may be enlarged because of urine that is not draining properly. Kidney stones are seen within the kidneys (not all stones can be seen with ultrasound).
An area of infection (abscess) or a fluid-filled cyst may appear as a round, hollow structure inside an organ. The spleen may be ruptured (if an injury to the abdomen has occurred).
Reasons you may not be able to have the test or why the results may not be helpful include:

After a disappointing start to the 2012 Olympics for Australia, Sally Pearson gave her fellow Aussies something to cheer for Tuesday by setting a new Olympic record on her way to gold in the women's 100-meter hurdles.
Right behind her were two of the Americans in the field, although the most talked about of the three, Lolo Jones, finished out of medal contention in fourth place.
Pearson ran a 12.35, breaking the previous Olympic record of 12.37 seconds set by Joanna Hayes of United States at 2004's Athens Olympics. Silver and bronze medals were captured by the U.S.A.'s Dawn Harper (12.37) and Kellie Wells (12.48).
The gold medal for Pearson was the fourth gold medal of the 2012 Olympics so far for Australia, which has not won any other medals in London.
Jones just squeaked into the finals Tuesday, posting the second-slowest qualifying time in semifinals with a time of 12.71. On the flip side, Pearson was the favorite going into the final, posting the fastest time in the semifinal heats -- and in the world this years -- with 12.39 seconds.
During the 2008 Beijing Games, Jones was an inch too low and clipped the ninth hurdle in the 100-meter final, finishing seventh after leading the entire race. Her fall allowed Harper the gold and Pearson the silver in 2008. Canada's Priscilla Lopes-Schliep, who failed to qualify for the 2012 Olympics, earned bronze in 2008.
Since 2008, Jones has fought through injuries and it looked unlikely at one point that she would even qualify for the London Games. Jones finished third at the U.S. Olympic trials in late June, behind Harper and Wells.
Although Pearson is the new Olympic record-holder in the event, the world record still belongs to Bulgaria's Yordanka Donkova, who ran a 12.21 at the Bulgarian Championship in August 1988.

Another overrated wrestler currently working for WWE. Worked briefly as Skip Sheffield as a member of the Nexus, but was written off television due to injury. He then started working under the crappy meathead gimmick who bullies smaller guys. He botches a lot, and nearly broke Daniel Bryan's collarbone when botching a spot on a table, and instead slammed Bryan on the floor. It just disgusts me that WWE would approve of a redundant gimmick and keep a safety hazard like him in a wrestling ring.

In Top Form
Creating a spectacular countertop design sometimes requires a counter-intuitive approach. Whether it's mixing and matching the unexpected, taking a countertop material and using it in a different application or adding a unique edge treatment, the best countertop projects are often the ones that bring something different to the table.
Of course it's important to meet clients' aesthetic and functional demands, but sometimes the addition of something out of the ordinary is what really makes the design.
Kirsten McElwaine, owner of Kirsten's Kitchens in West Chester, PA, explains: "The keys to a dynamic countertop application are color, texture, proportion and the 'wow' factor. The unexpected is always a winner."
Bobby Leatherwood, who along with his two sons owns and designs for the Canyon Lake, TX-based Picassa Crete, notes that edge treatments are equally important in getting that "wow" effect. The kitchen and bath design firm owner and manufacturer of the Old World Stone Countertop System (made from manufactured limestone), states: "We look at colors in the immediate areas and then the design of the entire room. The hardest part is to design which edge fits the home, and what type of stone look to achieve."
Of course, performance and ease-of-maintenance remain important considerations, and today's consumers seem to gravitate toward products that are as functional and "health conscious" as they are beautiful.
Mix and Match
The mixing and matching of materials remains a hot trend for several reasons. First of all, this allows consumers to create an eclectic look, personalizing their spaces with both the material choices and the placement of those materials.
Mixing and matching materials also helps to use color, either sparingly or boldly, as well as create texture and balance. It can create different surfaces for different purposes. And, mixing and matching countertop materials allows consumers to benefit from being able to enjoy high-end materials, even if they are working on a tight budget.
"Today there is so much integration of different materials," says Tom Trzcinski, CMKBD and principal of Trzcinski Design Group Kitchen & Bath Concepts in Pittsburgh, PA. "We're seeing a lot of stone being combined with elevated glass – that type of thing is being done quite a bit," he notes.
Sometimes, one surface will be used to add high drama, while the other surfaces play a supporting role. Other times, several lower-profile countertop choices are combined to create a clean and streamlined look. However, whether it's one material or several, natural materials and hues remain a hot trend.
Trzcinski notes that, in some cases, this can create challenges. For instance, he frequently deals with clients' desire to use wood surfaces because of their warm, natural feel, yet he needs to also consider the durability factor. "This is especially true around lavatories," he says.
He recounts a recent master bath project where he addressed this issue. "It was a contemporary bath where we had almost an 8" or 9" band across the front of the cabinetry. We wanted to design it to look like it was a big block of wood, but we inset quartz into the top of it to give it a durable finish," he says. "Aesthetically, the color tone of the quartz was the same as the wood, and we used vessel bowls to give it the durability and the look we wanted."
Another project he worked on featured integrated glass built into the countertop. He states: "We glued the edge of the glass right into the surface of the stone. It was all at the same level, but you could see the difference naturally where the glass ended and the stone was situated. It was all melded together so all we had to do was just smooth it out."
McElwaine also cites a recent kitchen project that mixed and matched natural materials. She took a 4"-thick edge grain Burmese teak countertop with built-in knife slots from Grothouse Lumber and overlapped it with granite to add functionality and convenience for the client during food preparation.
Interestingly, McElwaine says that a teak butcher block was initially not even on her client's wish list, "but once I showed her a sample and told her about the characteristics of wood, she was sold.
"Wood also adds warmth to any kitchen. It helps to balance the stainless steel and polished surfaces that it is typically sharing space with," she says.
"Ultimately, I think the thickness of the countertop makes it unique, and by overlapping the granite, it gives the piece a very finished look," she continues. "It also lowers the butcher block a bit, making it easier to chop on."
Healthy Choices
While aesthetics are usually the first consideration when clients look at countertop materials, a growing trend has seen a greater focus on products that are viewed as healthy choices, as well as options that are eco-friendly and durable.
"Safety issues such as anti-bacterial qualities and stain-resistance are often topics of discussion. I want my clients to know they can really use their kitchens without having to worry about harming [the countertop]," McElwaine says.
Leatherwood agrees: "People are also more educated in matters of health and disinfectants. There is a growing awareness of what materials might be viewed as being potentially dangerous. That is why we only use sealers that are chemical resistant and stain resistant."
The trend toward healthier materials also ties into the growing interest in environmentally friendly countertop choices.
As Elizabeth Spengler, ASID and president/CEO of Dorado Designs in Oro Valley, AZ, notes: "There are countertops made from recycled paper held together with eco-friendly resins that are used in laboratories and are a healthy option for residential use."
Holly Marie Peterson, AKBD, CAPS of Lifestyle Kitchen Studio in East Grand Rapids, MI, points out: "No longer does 'green' need to scream 'sterile construction materials' or rustic earthy materials. Instead, it can fit seamlessly into any design theme."
Ultimately, though, it is how well the countertop matches what the client envisions that determines a project's success.
As Spengler explains: "Countertops can take an ordinary kitchen to an extraordinary place by simply thinking outside the box!"
Island Appeal
With so many striking countertop options, islands remain a great way to showcase these materials. McElwaine sees two-tiered islands still in demand, although she believes that standard, single-height island countertops are capable of providing adequate seating for those who have less space to work with.
But Barbara K. Wade, kitchen designer for Custom Kitchens by Design in La Plata, MD, says: "I think kitchens are much larger than they used to be, so incorporating larger, multi-leveled islands is becoming the standard."
Peterson agrees that islands have become a key focal point, making them ideal for showing off unique countertop materials.
"It's an opportunity to customize the kitchen to the client's lifestyle, on any budget, too," she says. "Designing different heights, materials and spaces can change an island from a simple work surface and storage area to a multi-tasking center for entertainment, display and functional spaces."
"Lately, we've also noticed a trend in countertops becoming larger in size than the old traditional countertop using a small bar above the main countertop," Leatherwood adds. "In some cases, we've actually removed the bar from several remodel jobs and extended the countertop out to create a larger, more usable surface."
Edgy Design
When Bobby Leatherwood was asked to transform a "plain and dull" kitchen into one with a dynamic, Old World style, he decided to get a bit edgy.
Leatherwood explains: "We'd recently completed a custom island. My sons and I came up with the idea of building a long narrow island with an Old World stone countertop. So we designed a base cabinet with an open front facing the kitchen sink. We thought since we had built a long and narrow island cabinet, we should design a different top other than a long narrow square. We came up with a design with round corners with one side that overhangs 12" and doubles as a bar top."
He notes that he and his sons decided to create a curve on the bar side, with the other side kept straight. To add a unique look, he says: "We chose a natural stone edge we designed ourselves. Now the kitchen ties into the living room with the same wood flooring, and it meshes well with the entire scheme."
Light and Bright
Of course a countertop design is only as beautiful as the way it is displayed. So when Wade's client asked her to spotlight the countertop material in a recent kitchen project, she took the request quite literally.
She explains: "One of the main challenges was that the client wanted to display the material of the countertop in other places besides the countertop in order to backlight the product."
The client had selected Brown Agate Concetto by CaesarStone, which was coordinated with the Chamois from Corian's Private Collection. Wade notes: "Some of the semi-precious stones in the Concetto Collection are breathtakingly translucent, so we wanted to accent that characteristic. We solved this challenge by using the material as a backsplash rather than a countertop and backlit the stone."
This approach, combined with the light golden beige and lighter sand veins featured in the Corian product, created a one-of-a-kind look, she says.
The backsplash blended well with the warm brown tones of the cabinets as well as the darker stains on the adjacent Great Room furniture, tying the look together.
"In the island of this design, a sink is incorporated, so we included a custom sink grid in the Corian material to allow for water drainage directly into the sink. We also strategically placed the Concetto stone in a location that makes it a focal point from the Great Room," she points out.
She concludes: "In my opinion, this project represents a growing trend of being extremely imaginative with materials and the placement of those materials. I think, going forward, kitchen and bath designers will see more clients exploring options with materials used for countertop surfaces as well as incorporating these materials elsewhere."

SPRINGFIELD — Motorcycle riders could go straight on red under a proposal rumbling through the General Assembly.
In action Wednesday, the Illinois Senate voted 43-12 in favor of allowing the driver of a motorcycle to proceed through a red light which fails to turn green within a "reasonable period of time."
Motorcycle rights groups say motorcycle riders can sometimes get stuck at a red light for several light cycles because the lighter weight of the two-wheel vehicles won't trigger sensors that cause stoplights to change at some intersections.
A number of senators who ride motorcycles said getting stuck at red lights equipped with the sensors is not uncommon.
"I ride a motorcycle, so I have been there before," said state Sen. Gary Forby, D-Benton, who sponsored the legislation.

Pharmaceutical crime
A major threat to public health
Pharmaceutical crime involves the manufacture, trade and distribution of fake, stolen or illicit medicines and medical devices. It encompasses the counterfeiting and falsification of medical products, their packaging and associated documentation, as well as theft, fraud, illicit diversion, smuggling, trafficking, the illegal trade of medical products and the money laundering associated with it.
We are seeing a significant increase in the manufacture, trade and distribution of counterfeit, stolen and illicit medicines and medical devices. Patients across the world put their health, even life, at risk by unknowingly consuming fake drugs or genuine drugs that have been doctored, badly stored or that have expired.
Illicit drugs can contain the wrong dose of active ingredient, or none at all, or a different ingredient. They are associated with a number of dangers and, at worst, can result in heart attack, coma or death.
The fight against counterfeit medicines is crucial in order to ensure the quality of products in circulation and to protect public health on a global scale.
The increasing prevalence of counterfeit and illicit goods has been compounded by the rise in Internet trade, where they can be bought easily, cheaply and without a prescription. It is impossible to quantify the extent of the problem, but in some areas of Asia, Africa and Latin America counterfeit medical goods can form up to 30% of the market.
The problem of organized crime
Organized criminal networks are attracted by the huge profits to be made through pharmaceutical crime. They operate across national borders in activities that include the import, export, manufacture and distribution of counterfeit and illicit medicines. Coordinated and cross-sector action on an international level is therefore vital in order to identify, investigate and prosecute the criminals behind these crimes.
An INTERPOL analytical report examines the links between pharmaceutical crime and organized crime. Download the public version of the report (published in July 2014).
INTERPOL's response
At INTERPOL, we are tackling this major problem in three main ways:
- Coordinating operations in the field to disrupt transnational criminal networks;
- Delivering training in order to build the skills and knowledge of all those agencies involved in the fight against pharmaceutical crime;
- Building partnerships across a variety of sectors.

Pro Tip to Watch for Profile Scams
When a profile smells fishy, simply grab a phrase of text that sounds odd and Google it with quotes such as this one:
"I am not an angry person, and I am not interested in someone that is. Having past events shape your life is one thing, carrying the past as a burden that sits heavily upon your shoulders is not the way I view life."
If the exact wording appears on multiple profiles throughout the web, it's clearly suspect and you should avoid emailing them and report the profile to Catholic Match.
Please, before some rule-bound person tells me I should not be pasting text from a Catholic Match profile into this forum window, be aware that I did not do that. The above mentioned text was copied from http://www.scamwarners.com
What I'm posting here is helpful so that people remain vigilant against dating scams. The technique is quite obvious to me but might not be so obvious to others.

Familiar foes Greinke, Miley meet again
Aces battle to open third series meeting between rivals in LA
It's time for D-backs-Dodgers, part three.
The season is less than 20 games old, but this will already be the third time these National League West rivals will meet.
"It seems like it," Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said on seemingly playing the D-backs every series. "Right now they've been scuffling and I hope we can keep them down a few more games."
That there have been so many games played against each other has certainly worked in the Dodgers' favor as they sport a perfect 5-0 mark against Arizona.
The two teams kicked off the Major League season against each other March 22 and 23 in Sydney, Australia. The Dodgers then visited Chase Field last weekend and swept the three-game series.
"They're a good team," D-backs pitcher Brandon McCarthy said. "We know it's a team that we can beat, we just need to start playing the way we're capable of. If we pitch better, if we do the things that we need to do, it's a competitive series and we're a team that can hang with them. If we go out and keep making mistakes that we've made and keep doing the things we've been doing, then we're set up for more of the same."
"They played very well, they pitched very well and they swung the bats very well," D-backs manager Kirk Gibson said after the final game of the series. "They are playing good right now, and you got to tip your cap to them."
One player the D-backs are not looking forward to seeing again is first baseman Adrian Gonzalez.
Last weekend against the D-backs, Gonzalez was a one-man wrecking ball, going 7-for-13 with a double, three homers and 10 RBIs.
Zack Greinke will get the start in the opener. It will be his second straight outing against the D-backs, and he certainly hopes it goes as well as the first.
In that game, Greinke allowed just one run and did not walk a batter while fanning eight in 5 1/3 innings.
The Dodgers are coming off a series in which they they got three solid starts from Josh Beckett, Paul Maholm and Hyun-Jin Ryu. Arizona should be glad it doesn't face Ryu, who has 19 consecutive scoreless innings against it.
"We hope the starting pitching gives us some momentum," Mattingly said. "We get good outings and get the bullpen regulated the way we want."
Wade Miley, who started the season opener against the Dodgers and also squared off against Greinke last time, will start for the D-backs.
Miley has been the closest thing the D-backs have had to an ace this year, but he has yet to figure out a way to beat the Dodgers. In his first outing of the year against them, he allowed three runs in five innings. Last time out, he gave up five in five innings.
D-backs: Time to battle
There has been a lot of frustration in the Arizona clubhouse over the team's sluggish start, but Gibson has been pleased with the effort his team has put forth.
"I'll never give in to the 'we can't do it,'" Gibson said. "I'm not a quitter. We're not quitters."
Dodgers: Ramirez a game-day decision
Dodgers shortstop Hanley Ramirez, struck on the back of the left hand by a Ryan Vogelsong fastball Wednesday night, missed Thursday's series finale in San Francisco, but was hopeful he'd be able to play Friday.
Mattingly said Ramirez wasn't even available to pinch-hit against the Giants because his hand was too painful to grip a bat.
Ramirez has a .294 lifetime average with a home run against Miley.
Worth noting:
• The Dodgers are 74-63 against the D-backs at Dodger Stadium.
• The D-backs were 10-9 against the Dodgers last year, but it was a tale of two halves. Arizona won seven of the first nine games between the two last year, with Los Angeles turning it around and winning seven of the final 10.
• This is the beginning of a 10-game homestand for the Dodgers, who will also take on the Phillies and Rockies.
• Gonzalez has a 12-game hitting streak for the Dodgers.

Lawmakers in New York's lower house approved a new package of strict gun regulations intended to fortify the state's assault weapons ban, limit the number of bullets in magazines and strengthen rules that keep the mentally ill from owning firearms.
The measure had already been approved by the GOP-controlled Senate the day before and Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed the bill less than an hour later.
The law is the nation's first gun control bill since a massacre in Newtown, Conn., where a gunman killed 27 people, including 20 children.
The Democratic-controlled Assembly approved the measure Tuesday by a 104-43 vote, a week after Cuomo spelled out the tough new gun control proposals in his annual State of the State address.
Cuomo, a first-term Democratic governor, called for a tightening of the state's assault weapons ban, background checks for people who purchase guns in private transactions and more restrictions on high-capacity magazines.
The tentative deal would include a statewide gun registry and add a uniform licensing standard across the state, altering the current system, in which each county or municipality sets a standard.
Residents would also be restricted to purchasing ammunition magazines that carry seven bullets, rather than 10.
It remains unclear what effect the measure will have on the state's already stringent approach to gun control.
"The changes in New York are largely cosmetic," said CNN legal analyst Paul Callan, who described existing regulations as "the toughest gun laws in the United States."
"The one change that arguably will have the greatest impact is the amendment to Kendra's Law, which will permit closer monitoring of the mentally ill," he said.
That 1999 law grants New York judges the authority to require residents to undergo psychiatric treatment if they meet certain criteria.
The proposed measures would extend Kendra's Law through 2017, expand outpatient treatment from six months to a year and require reviews before such treatment is allowed to expire.
New York's mental health professionals would also be governed by a new set of rules that would require them to report their patients to the state should the patients exhibit behavior suggesting they could be harmful to themselves or others.
"We're opening up an unprecedented window into what goes on in the therapy room," said Dr. Paul S. Appelbaum, director of the Division of Law, Ethics, and Psychiatry at the Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons.
"It would effect a major change in the usual presumptions of confidentiality."
The bill would also create mandatory life sentences for anyone who murders certain first responders, a provision that comes after two firefighters were killed in an ambush as they battled a blaze in upstate New York.
The vote coincides with a series of recommendations put together by Vice President Joe Biden meant to address the nation's gun violence.
Lawmakers in at least 10 other states are reviewing some form of new gun regulations in the new year.

Chapter 9, "Troubleshooting The WebLogic Tuxedo Connector," provides Oracle WebLogic Tuxedo Connector troubleshooting information.
The Oracle corporate Web site provides all documentation for WebLogic Server and Tuxedo.
For more information about Java and Java CORBA applications, refer to the following sources:
The OMG Web Site at http://www.omg.org/
The Java site at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/index.html
The Oracle WebLogic Tuxedo Connector provides interoperability between WebLogic Server applications and Tuxedo services. The connector allows WebLogic Server clients to invoke Tuxedo services and Tuxedo clients to invoke WebLogic Server Enterprise Java Beans (EJBs) in response to a service request.
The Oracle WebLogic Tuxedo Connector enables you to develop and support applications interoperating WebLogic Server and Tuxedo by using a Java Application-to-Transaction Monitor Interface (JATMI) similar to the Tuxedo ATMI. The Oracle WebLogic Tuxedo Connector tBridge functionality provides Tuxedo /Q and JMS advanced messaging services.
The Oracle WebLogic Tuxedo Connector provides the following bi-directional interoperability:
Ability to call WebLogic Server applications from Tuxedo applications and vice versa.
Ability to integrate WebLogic Server applications into existing Tuxedo environments.
Transaction support.
Ability to provide interoperability between CORBA Java and CORBA C++ server applications.
Ability to provide interoperability between Remote Method Invocation (RMI) over Internet Inter-ORB Protocol (IIOP) applications and Tuxedo CORBA remote objects.
Ability to use WebLogic Integration to manage workflow across Tuxedo ATMI services.
Ability to define multiple connections between WebLogic Server and Tuxedo.
The Oracle WebLogic Tuxedo Connector includes the following key administration features:
Simple implementation. The Oracle WebLogic Tuxedo Connector does not require modification of existing Tuxedo application code.
Existing Tuxedo clients call WebLogic Server EJBs through the Oracle WebLogic Tuxedo Connector.
New or modified WebLogic Server clients call Tuxedo services through Oracle WebLogic Tuxedo Connector.
Bi-directional security propagation, including domain and ACL security.
Domain-level failover and fallback.
Advanced messaging services provided by Tuxedo /Q and JMS.
Interoperability with mainframes and other legacy applications using eLink.
Oracle WebLogic Tuxedo Connector has the following limitations:
Support for runtime MBean exists, so the configuration can be modified after deployment. There is an exception in tBridge. Both tBridge Globals and tBridge Redirect changes will not be in effect until WTC is undeployed and redeployed.
Does not support inbound TGIOP in clustered environments.
Oracle WebLogic Tuxedo Connector does not support Tuxedo 6.5 running on OS/390 platform.
The Oracle WebLogic Tuxedo Connector is not a replacement for Jolt. It differs from Jolt in the following ways:
Oracle WebLogic Tuxedo Connector offers a similar but different API than Jolt.
Jolt enables the development of generic Java clients and other Web server applications that the Oracle WebLogic Tuxedo Connector does not.
Jolt does not provide a mechanism for an integrated WebLogic Server-Tuxedo transaction.
Users should use Jolt as a solution instead of the Oracle WebLogic Tuxedo Connector when a generic Java client or other Web server application is required and WebLogic Server is not part of the solution.
For the most accurate and current information regarding platform support, see the Oracle Fusion Middleware Supported System Configurations page at http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ias/files/fusion_certification.html

titile: Failed to obtain or reinitialize VMemBuf. possibly running out of swap space. have been getting these errors on file uploads to litespeed webserver 4.1.4. its happened three times so far, several days between incidents. haven't been able to work out what causes it. once it starts happening it seems to happen to everyone if the upload is above a certain size (i haven't worked out what size exactly). restarting litespeed solves the problem. /tmp has plenty of space and /tmp/lshttpd's permissions appear to be fine
please refer: http://www.litespeedtech.com/support/forum/showthread.php?t=5284 see if /tmp/lshttpd/swap related?
i found that last week when looking into the first occurrence but it didnt seem to help /tmp/lshttpd/swap's permissions are ok. owned by lsws, the same user as litespeed is running as. there are no other errors in any log files at the same time of each error. the upload is not even attempted by the browser, a connection reset error is seen in the browser instantly. as restarting lsws fixes the bug it also seems to suggest its not a file permission error.
the problem has happened again. 6 hours of errors over night preventing all file uploads to our sites. i've rolled back to 4.1.3
just now I experienced same issue it's 4.0.20. lsphp 5.1.2 with Server API : LiteSpeed 4.10 so it's not likely an issue between 4.1.3 and 4.1.4 I did a change in php.ini: upload_tmp_dir = /tmp (it's not set before.) and restarted lsws. my test shows upload 1M file was ok, but failed for a 1.8M file. maybe restart lsws resolved the issue as you observed. just put more info here.
upload_tmp_dir is not set in my php.ini either. sys_get_temp_dir() returns /tmp should i set it anyway? /tmp has 4.2gig free. according to graphs it got as low as 3.9gig yesterday. restarting lsws means that the problem goes away for some time. seems to come back on its own for no reason. for example, I just uploaded a 10mb file with no problem. while it was uploading I could see /tmp/phpnMUhZ6 getting filled.
This problem has returned again today. Strange that only yesterday I upgraded to lsws 4.1.10. any suggestion as to what might be the cause?
does it happen once just after upgrade, or does it happen times(can check the error log) after upgrade ?
I don't know what triggered it last time (perhaps an upgrade that I had forgotten), but this time it seems it probably was the upgrade that caused it. It happened on every website accepting file uploads until i ran "lswsctrl restart". so far for the last 2 days no error has been reported.
I have similar experience on another website. if it happens again, please report it here to trace it.
Hi NiteWave, it has happened again. Discovered by users attempting to upload 7mb video files. Smaller file uploads worked, but larger ones didn't (I didnt troubleshoot far enough to find the largest size possible) logs report lsws was restarted automatically at 5am, only 9 hours before the first errors were reported. restarting lsws seemed to be the only solution again. i checked lsws's log file for any other errors however there are no other error level reports before it (just a bunch of php errors or 404s)
could be running out of space in swap directory. move http://www.litespeedtech.com/docs/webserver/config/general/#swappingDir to a partition with enough free disk space.
after the last problem i stopped lsws completely, made sure no processes were running, and started it fresh. no problem yet (its been over a week) could it be that the graceful restart after an upgrade isnt doing things properly.
it's kind of hard-tracing issues ... it may due to other bug fixes in 4.1.11(e.g. memory-leak etc) which fix the issue as well. let's assume 4.1.11 has no such issue any more -- if still happen, please re-open this thread.
same issue Hello, same issue here: Failed to obtain or reinitialize VMemBuf. possibly running out of swap space. and Failed to create temp file with mkstemp(): No such file or directory disk of course has giga and giga of space. LSWS 4.1.11 Waiting for your reply Regards
can you do what suggested in previous post: 1.force-reinstall 4.1.11 to latest version 2.stop lsws completely, then start it, not restart gracefully use #/usr/local/lsws/bin/lswsctrl stop and / or #killall litespeed to stop it completely. and use #pstree -p | grep litespeed to check if no litespeed process is running this will only cause down time within 1 minute. then start litespeed. if still happen, please continue reporting here.
It's not fixed. Many customers complain on this new version about: 1) upload that can reach maximum 1mbit, 2) all wordpress permalink do not work anymore 3) this error I think that 's ALL related to same issue. Waiting for your reply Regards

The interactive Codex Atlanticus - digital working models of Leonardo Da Vinci's inventions
September 5, 2006 The term "renaissance man" implies an extraordinary breadth of expertise and capability and no person epitomises the well-rounded concept than painter, inventor, sculptor, architect, anatomist, engineer, geometer and musician Leonardo da Vinci. That he was a master of several of these disciplines and hundreds of years ahead of his time in some makes him without equal. All of which makes this announcement incredibly exciting as there's now a compelling new way to engage with Leonardo's remarkable work, at least in the area of invention. Innovative Italian media company Leonardo3 has created a digital version of the Codex Atlanticus – an interactive book containing more than 100 of Da Vinci's most fascinating manuscript pages. The pages can be "turned" and it's possible to zoom in on Leonardo's sketches, and the inventor's secret messages and notes, many of which can't be deciphered with the naked eye. For example, zooming in on Leonardo's design for a military fortress shows his secret plan for a subterranean tunnel that allowed for escape if the fortress walls were breached. Enigmatic notes and sketches can also be discovered by "flipping" the pages over and looking at them from the back. More than 50 3-D machine models spring from the images on the pages as well, allowing the viewer to interact with the machines and understand how the designs work. Guests can view Leonardo's design for a naval cannon from all sides and actually fire this artillery, seeing how its opposing cannons were designed to absorb the force of firing and keep the boat on course. Ideal as a gift for the gifted and special people in your life, the price is as remarkable as the contents – you can buy it on-line for just UER25.90 (US$33).

Border Patrol under scrutiny for deadly force
Wednesday - 11/14/2012, 7:30pm EST
By BRIAN SKOLOFF
Associated Press
NOGALES, Ariz. (AP) - A pair of Mexican drug smugglers in camouflage pants, bundles of marijuana strapped to their backs, scaled a 25 foot-high fence in the middle of the night, slipped quietly into the United States and dashed into the darkness.
U.S. Border Patrol agents and local police gave chase on foot _ from bushes to behind homes, then back to the fence.
The conflict escalated. Authorities say they were being pelted with rocks. An agent responded by aiming a gun into Mexico and firing multiple shots at the assailant, killing a 16-year-old boy whose family says was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.
The Oct. 10 shooting has prompted renewed outcry over the Border Patrol's use-of-force policies and angered human rights activists and Mexican officials who believe the incident has become part of a disturbing trend along the border _ gunning down rock-throwers rather than using non-lethal weapons.
The Department of Homeland Security Office of Inspector General has launched a probe of the agency's policies, the first such broad look at the tactics of an organization with 18,500 agents deployed to the Southwest region alone. The Mexican government has pleaded with the U.S. to change its ways. And the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights has questioned the excessive use of force by Border Patrol.
At least 16 people have been killed by agents along the Mexico border since 2010, eight in cases where federal authorities said they were being attacked with rocks, said Vicki Gaubeca, director of the ACLU's Regional Center for Border Rights in Las Cruces, N.M.
The Border Patrol says sometimes lethal force is necessary: Its agents were assaulted with rocks 249 times in the 2012 fiscal year, causing injuries ranging from minor abrasions to major head contusions.
It is a common occurrence along the border for rocks to be thrown from Mexico at agents in the U.S. by people trying to distract them from making arrests or merely to harass them _ particularly in areas that are heavily trafficked by drug smugglers and illegal immigrants.
Still, Gaubeca balks at what she and others deem the unequal "use of force to use a bullet against a rock."
"There has not been a single death of a Border Patrol agent caused by a rock," she said. "Why aren't they doing something to protect their agents, like giving them helmets and shields?"
The Border Patrol has declined to discuss its use of lethal force policy, but notes agents may protect themselves and their colleagues when their lives are threatened, and rocks are considered deadly weapons.
Kent Lundgren, chairman of the National Association of Former Border Patrol Officers, recalled a time in the 1970s when he was hit in the head while patrolling the border near El Paso, Texas.
"It put me on my knees," Lundgren said. "Had that rock caught me in the temple, it would have been lethal, I have no doubt."
It is extremely rare for U.S. border authorities to face criminal charges for deaths or injuries to migrants. In April, federal prosecutors said there was insufficient evidence to pursue charges against a Border Patrol agent in the 2010 shooting death of a 15-year-old Mexican in Texas.
In 2008, a case was dismissed against a Border Patrol agent facing a murder charge after two mistrials. Witnesses testified the agent shot a man without provocation but defense attorneys contended the Mexican migrant tried to hit the agent with a rock.
Mexican families have filed multiple wrongful death lawsuits, and the U.S. government, while admitting no wrongdoing, has paid out hundreds of thousands of dollars. Last year, the family of the illegal immigrant killed by the agent whose murder case was dismissed reached an $850,000 settlement. The agent remains employed by Border Patrol.
Even the Mexican government has asked for a change in policy, to no avail, though Border Patrol points out that Mexico has put up no barriers in its country and does little to stop the rock throwers.
"We have insisted to the United States government by multiple channels and at all levels that it is indispensable they revise and adjust Border Patrol's standard operating procedures," Mexico's Foreign Ministry said in a written statement.
Elsewhere around the world, lethal force is often a last resort in such cases. Israeli police, for instance, typically use rubber bullets, water cannons and tear gas to disperse rock-throwers.
"There is no such crowd incident that will occur where the Israeli police will use live fire unless it's a critical situation where warning shots have to be fired in the air," said Israeli police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld.

So FreeBSD is, as always, faster than the Linux guys.
Phoronix: LLVM's Clang Is Finally The FreeBSD x86 Compiler
After talking about FreeBSD's transition to Clang as the default C/C++ compiler rather than GCC, the move has finally happened where for x86/x86_64 systems the LLVM-based compiler has replaced GCC...
So FreeBSD is, as always, faster than the Linux guys.
Why should it?
I would like to see a benchmark (also on Linux) with with normal compiler settings (-O2 or -Os ... . flags binary distributions are using).
Most of the GCC vs. clang benchmarks on this site are totally useless, because only a few people in the world compile their software with those unstable flags (-O3 -march=native -ffast-math, ...).
It would be nice to see how the compilers perform on more common flags, like -O2 and -Os without CPU-specific optimizations.
