Perfect paired.
This kit contains two panels for ideal results. Use the diffuser panel to diffuse harsh overhead light. Fill in unwanted shadows with the second reflective panel.
Choosing color.
All skin tones are not the same, so your reflector color shouldn't be either. This complete kit offers a variety of reflective surface colors which allow you to choose the perfect color for your lighting situation.
- Silver offers cool tones and specular highlights while adding "punch" to images,
- Gold provides warm tones ideal for fair-skinned subjects,
- White (2 stop diffusion panel) reflects light while providing neutral color,
- Sunlight gives a subtle and natural warming effect,
- Black subtracts or "pulls away" light; or blocks light off completely
Shadows be gone.
Many times, when photographing a subject outdoors, harsh overhead sunlight causes heavy shadows to appear on the face. These can quickly and easily be controlled by placing one of the included diffusers between the subject and the sun. Use the one-stop diffusion panel early morning when the sun is not as strong. For harsh overhead, direct sunlight, switch to the 2-stop panel which offers even greater diffusion.
Eliminate reflections.
Placing the diffuser between a reflective surface and your light source will soften unwanted highlights and harsh reflected light.
Simple set up.
The reflectors included in this kit open and close effortlessly in seconds. They can easily be handheld.
Ideal for outdoor photographers.
Take anywhere by simply throwing in your gear bag, Westcott reflectors are lightweight and fold down to roughly 1/3 their open size. They even come with their own storage case.
Built to last.
Double-riveted spring steel frames are made with the highest quality materials and come with a lifetime warranty. (Compare this to many hand-clamped styles currently on the market that will wear down over time.)

With a career spanning more than 4 decades and numerous appearances in the charts and the music award circuit, Grammy Hall Of Fame inductee, Patti LaBelle sealed her fate as one of the great American Divas.
Patti LaBelle started singing at church and later formed Patti Labelle and the Bluebelles, later know as LaBelle. Patti and her group enjoyed many chart hits during their 15 years together including their number one, gold selling single Lady Marmalade. 1977 brought the split of LaBelle and with that Patti embarked on her solo career with Epic Records. Her self-titled, debut solo album, produced by the legendary David Rubinson, soared to #16 in the R&B charts and gained a top 100 spot in the pop charts reaching #62.
Patti LaBelle's incredible vocal talent is easily evident on the track You Are My Friend, Cowritten by Patti and dedicated to her son, a song which she still performs to this day and is a firm fan favourite. Patti Labelle also features her top 40 R&B single, the string-laden upbeat, Joy To Have Your Love and the funk guitar driven cover of, Funky Music (Sho Nuff Turn's Me On).
Originally released on Epic Records, BBR is proud to present this newly re-mastered and re-packaged expanded edition of Patti LaBelle's, Patti Labelle complete with extensive liner notes featuring an interview with David Rubinson and added bonus content.

The three shells used in the toilets even confused poor ol' Sylvester, how were they used?
Take the 2-minute tour
Movies & TV Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for movie and tv enthusiasts. It's 100% free, no registration required.
From Wikipedia: By 2032, toilet paper has fallen out of use; a set of three seashells is provided in every toilet stall. Though their method of use is left unexplained in the movie, Stallone later suggested a possible method in an interview as told to him by one of the film's writers involving extraction with two and scraping with one. |
This is the page with the interview to Stallone where the question of the questions was originally answered. We all say thank you Louis Saucedo from Dallas, Texas for having asked it exactly that day. Here is also a small screenshot for posterity. |

Vip: The Mad World of Virgil Partch by Jonathan Barli - Photoset Preview | |
Written by Mike Baehr | Filed under Virgil Partch, previews, new releases, Jonathan Barli | 17 Oct 2013 8:43 PM |
"[Virgil Partch] was among a half-dozen or so cartoonists who had an absolutely distinctive style ... He was in a class by himself." — Chuck Jones
"I wanted to become a professional cartoonist because of Virgil Partch. Cartoons were all sort of the same [at the time], and suddenly this man came along, drawing both eyes on one side of the face and pointed noses and lines that continued in a roll ... he was sensational! Virgil Partch was a big discovery for me." — Sergio Aragonés
"Virgil Partch was one of the most influential cartoonists of his day. And through natural continuum, still is. He was one of those individuals who devise new approaches and realizations for all of us. His graphic sense and style were highly individual, as was his humor and the design of his pictures ... the height of comedic art. Vip was the V.I.P.!" — Arnold Roth

IPC Eligibility Code Form - Nordic Skiing
For the list of current IPC licensed nordic athletes, please check the IPC Classification Masterlist
The International Paralympic Committee (IPC) has launched an online database application that was developed in partnership with Atos Origin. The application is called the IPC Sport Data Management System (SDMS). The general functionality of the online application includes the following:
- Captures athlete biographies, eligibility data (nationality, classification, etc.), results, potential records;
- Provides U.S. Paralympics with online reports and data for its respective athletes;
- Calculates world and regional rankings, records and other reports (e.g. classification master lists)
NOTE: Only licensed athletes will be eligible to have their results submitted for consideration on the IPC world and regional ranking lists as well as for world and regional record applications. Please note that athletes who are not licensed will not be eligible for the National Team nor will you be eligible to be classified at an IPC Event.The IPC license is valid from the time of application through the end of that season. The license will expire on June 30th and must be renewed to carry over to the next season.
Athlete's who have been IPC licensed in previous years and need to renew the license, please complete the following:
Submit License fee of $85 USD before September 30th. On October 1st, the fee for previously licensed athletes changes to $120 USD. Submit the following VISAcredit card information by calling Sherrice Fox at 719-866-3353 or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
- Credit card number
- Credit card expiration date
- Credit card Sec Code on the back of the card
- Name on the credit card
Athlete's who have not been licensed must complete the following four steps.
1. Scan and email a completed and signed IPC Eligibility Code Form (must have original signature-no electronic signatures will be accepted). Print the form (click the link on the top of this page to download the form), fill-in the information, sign the form, scan the document and email it to firstname.lastname@example.com.
2. Email a copy of your passport. The IPC requires a passport or passport card as proof of citizenship. Scan the informational page of your passport (the one with your photo), save it as a PDF and email it to email@example.com. Please do not fax as it will not come through clearly.
3. Email a recent headshot photo (photos MUST: have a white or light blue background, not include headgear, dark glasses and hair bands on the athlete and have the head of the athlete looking face-on). Using a digital camera, have someone take a picture of you against a white or light blue wall and email the photo email@example.com. Please do not fax as it will not come through clearly.
4. Submit License fee of $85 USD. Submit the following VISA credit card information by calling Sherrice Fox at 719-866-3353 or by email at email@example.com.
- Credit card number
- Credit card expiration date
- Credit card Sec Code on the back of the card
- Name on the credit card
If you do not have access to a scanner, you can mail the information to:
USOC-Paralympic Division,
Attn: Sherrice Fox
One Olympic Plaza,
Colorado Springs, CO 80909.
If you are paying the fee by check or money order, the payment should be made payable to: USOC-Paralympic Division.
The SDMS will issue a unique athlete identification number, which will remain with the athlete through his/her sport career. Additionally, for each season the athlete will be assigned a unique season license number. Please allow 48 hours for the license to be active on the IPC Masterlist.
The International Classification status will be listed as N (New) for athletes who have never completed an IPC International Classification evaluation. New athletes will be placed into the system as the highest number for the corresponding classification category. For example, an alpine skiing athlete with a spinal cord injury will be listed as a LW12 if they have never been through a classification. The classification number will be updated in the system along with the classification status after the athlete completes an approved National or International classification evaluation.
If you have any questions, please call or email Sherrice Fox at 719-866-3353 or firstname.lastname@example.com

Basic Information
Name: Lust
Nickname: "Solaris", "The Ultimate Spear", "Lust the Lascivious"
Gender: Female
Age: 23 (by looks)
Clan: Dark Release User
Lust wears a skin tight dark maroon or dark green dress that goes from the top of her breasts all the way down to her ankles. She wears matching gloves with a red line running at the seam of the gloves that also attaches to the dress at times. Lust also wears matching boots that are said to go up to her knees under the dress. Her curly long brown hair reaches down towards her back with bangs covering part of her face. Her eyes are a light brown color and she also has a tattoo on her sternum, just above her breasts.
Lust is very aggressive towards her enemy's, say how she thinks that they are frail, predictable and generally stupid. To her friends and villagers, she is almost like a mother figure to the younger ones and a reliable ally to those who are in need. She tries to also be seductive towards her enemies to try and distract them or to throw them off guard in order to fulfill her missions. Whenever she is not fighting or away from other people, she ends up doing the oddest things like creating new clothes for her to wear.

Background Info.
History:Lust was born in Kirigakure with her six other siblings and her father. Her father named each of his children after the 7 deadly sins. She was the only girl amongst the six other children and the only one with weird squares on her left hand so it was hard for her to herself amongst her siblings.
Her father had each of the siblings go to the ninja academy when they were of age, but didn't like seeing Lust go there. He didn't want her to get harmed in any way possible because of the squares on her hand. Lust thought it was stupid of him to think that since she could take care of herself. When she reached the age of 10, she graduated from the ninja academy and had formed a team with her brothers Gluttony and Envy. They took their missions seriously and always came back successfully.
However, one day, Lust was cleaning the house while her siblings and her father were out doing things in the village. When she went to go and clean her father's room, she saw several scrolls on the floor that had Lust's name on it. Curious, she read the scroll which explained why she had the squares on her hand. It said that Lust has the ability to wield Dark release, a special kekki genkei that Lust had never even heard of before. Later that night, she asked her father what dark release was and he explained it all to her. Interested, she asked her father if she could leave the village to find a trainer to teach her dark release. He let her go and she set off to different parts of the world at the age of 21.
One year later, She stumbled upon a village in need of new villagers. That village was called Amegakure and being a bit tired from all the walking she thought she could rest there for a while. When she got there though, there was alot of other people enjoying the new village and it looked insanely fun to her. She then met a man named Nagato.. who could teach Dark release. She asked him to teach her Dark Release and he took her in as a student. Lust spent nearly 3 weeks learning Dark release from Nagato..and had mastered it completely. She then decided that it was a great idea to stay in the village for a while until she needed to move on from Ame.

Stand up comedian Avi Liberman will perform in Edwards on Sunday. Liberman was born in Israel, raised in Texas, went to college in New York, and now lives in Los Angeles, which is to say his life experiences inform his comedy style. He describes his style as a "winning combination of life experiences and topical issues told through a varied blend of characters and voices with worldwide expertise."
Liberman is a favorite in comedy clubs across the U.S. and Israel.
He'll perform on Sunday at 6:30 p.m. at a private home in Edwards. The evening is presented by the Chabad Jewish Center.
"Avi is hilarious! We're celebrating Jewish life here in the Vail Valley, and what better way than with huge laughs and delicious food," said Rabbi Dovid Mintz, one of the event organizers.
Liberman has performed stand-up comedy on CBS's Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, on Comedy Central's Premium Blend, Make Me Laugh, as well as NBC's Friday Night. His acting credits include Dave's World on CBS, Boston Common on NBC and Andytown U.S.A. on Comedy Central. He can be seen regularly on E! as a frequent guest on their very popular countdown series.
Since 2001, Liberman has performed widely acclaimed stand-up comedy tours in Israel, donating all of the proceeds to a charity. The successful "Comedy For Koby" tour is now a bi-annual event, benefitting the Koby Mandell Foundation.

@droidhacker & @DeepDayze:
What the fuck, guys, did you even read the quoted text? It defines "open standards" as technologies that are (a) free to implement and use and (b) formalized by committees that are open to outside participation.
According to this definition, HTML is an open standard, whereas H.264 or DirectX aren't. OpenGL falls into a gray zone, as it contains a few parts that are not free to implement.
How the hell does this translate to that stuff you said?

Hi Alicia, pleasure to meet you.
I'm Julie and I'm an alcoholic. I've been in and out of AA since I was 24, but only have been sober 8 months now. It's been a long life hard life for me and I wish I'd have stuck to it from the beginning instead of taking, what I thought, was the easier, softer way.
I know that when I first came around I truly couldn't identify with people who had to drink in the morning, had DUI's, lost their homes, family, jobs, etc. Things weren't THAT bad for me.
I wish, instead of comparing how bad their drinking was compared to mine, that I would have tried to identify with their feelings. You see, when someone shares how thet felt throughout their life I can most certainly identify.
I never remember a time in my life when I felt comfortable in my own skin. I ALWAYS felt like the "outsider" in my family and within the circle of my friends. I never felt "good enough" or that I fit in anywhere. I lived with these feelings by drinking them away because it didn't hurt as much when I drank.
I am a very angry person and I can hold a grudge like no other. I finally got tired of feeling like I felt and drinking just wasn't working for me anymore.
No one could figure out for me whether or not I was an alcoholic. In fact, folks were telling me I was before I decided I was and that just made me mad.
Slowly but surely I'm learning to live comfortably in my own skin without drinking.
Keep coming back,

Isn't this filesystem supposed to have a lot of CoW features without actually being Cow? Does anyone know?
Phoronix: Tux3 Will Likely Soon Be Added To The Linux Kernel
The Tux3 file-system has been in development since 2008 but it looks like in the next kernel release or two we will likely see it merged into the mainline Linux kernel...
Isn't this filesystem supposed to have a lot of CoW features without actually being Cow? Does anyone know?
Daniel Phillips, author of Tux3 got some interesting idea, namely shardmap.
Did you/he mean file systems?"hardened more than some other operating systems"
I think we all know what those unnamed file systems he was talking about are.
I can't wait to try Tux3 when it is officially upstream! I want to run it on root
What is the purpose of this filesystem? Is it better than Ext3/4?
(source: http://tux3.org/ )Tux3 is a write-anywhere, atomic commit, btree-based versioning filesystem. It is the spiritual and moral successor of Tux2, the most famous filesystem that was never released. The main purpose of Tux3 is to embody Daniel Phillips's new ideas on storage data versioning. The secondary goal is to provide a more efficient snapshotting and replication method for the Zumastor NAS project, and a tertiary goal is to be better than ZFS.
(source: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?pag...tem&px=MTY0NTA )The performance results shared by Tux3 say that the performance is on-par with EXT4 and XFS, with sometimes being even faster.
Others might have more information.
As a high level overview, I'd say it intends to try and replace ext4 as a filesystem for general use. It tries to remain lightweight while adding many new features of modern FS's that would be tough to tack onto ext4 without a redesign. I don't think it will compete with btrfs, which has more features but is also much more heavyweight.
If being better than ZFS is a tertiary goal, then by extension it sounds like it would be competing with btrfs (which is a direct competitor to ZFS).
From a practical point of view, btrfs is significant because it has COW and snapshots. If Tux3 can provide those without sacrificing performance (btrfs generally performs somewhat worse than ext4 if you use snapshots, especially for things like browsers and VMs), then it could steal a lot of btrfs' market share.

My oh my, what a tasty bird this was! I had a frozen chicken that I thawed for a few days in the fridge and plopped it whole into the crockpot. I did make a whole chicken earlier in the year, that was delicious, but this guy had an awesome moist, lemony garlic flavor that made my knees go a bit weak.
And it was so easy!
The Ingredients.
--one thawed and skinned whole chicken. It wasn't as gross for me this time! yay! But I'm not pregnant, so if you are and are prone to pukeage, be forewarned...
--head of garlic
--2 lemons (yeah, those are lemons. I tried to find yellow ones, and even went outside at 3:30am (I had insomnia) with a flashlight to find riper ones, and nearly scared the neighbors cat bald, but could only find green guys. They still tasted okay.)
--salt and pepper
--a bunch of fresh rosemary (this is from my mom's garden. hi, mom! thanks for the rosemary!)
The Directions.
After you skin the chicken and keep from puking, rub it inside and out with a bunch of salt and pepper.
Plop it into the crockpot.
Peel your garlic and shove a bunch of the whole cloves into the bird cavity and throw some more on top and around the chicken.
Slice the lemon and put slices on top, around, and inside the bird
Wash the rosemary and do the same. If you are using dried rosemary, use a good amount---probably 2-3T of dried herbs.
Your chicken should look a bit like this:
cook on low for 8-10 hours. I put this on at 4am, and had it for lunch at noon. Then I took a 2hr nap!
The Verdict:
This is a moist, delicious chicken that is company-worthy. It will fall apart when you take it out of the crock if you cook it as long as I did. If you would like a fancier presentation, keep an eye on it and check the doneness after 6 or 7 hours, then carefully remove with large tongs.
Keep the garlic to serve alongside with some rice or potatoes and some fresh vegetables.

That's why the New York Jets' second-year quarterback went through the "painful" process of watching every one of his 21 interceptions and four lost fumbles in 2013 over and over again during offseason film review. He readily admits he didn't take care of the ball well enough as a rookie, and it's why the team signed Michael Vick to compete for the starting job this year.
Still, Smith is confident the job is his to loose, and that his growth through experience will ultimately help him prevail as the starter.
"Knowing that I am going to take every action possible to get better and to come in to this season as a better player (gives me confidence)," Smith said on the first day of the team's offseason program Monday. "Having a second season in (offensive coordinator) Marty (Mornhinweg's) system, (being with quarterbacks) coach David Lee (for a second season) and with Rex (Ryan) as the head coach is going to do wonders, not just for myself but everyone on the offense.
"Obviously it is going to come down to production on the field. I just believe that with the experience that I have gained and with the direction that we were heading in as an offense and where I see myself as a second-year player, I just believe that I am more than capable of being the starter."
Smith was thrust into the starting job as a rookie when his training camp battle with Mark Sanchez fizzled with Sanchez ultimately missing the entire season. Smith went on to throw 12 touchdowns against 21 interceptions, and the playbook was eventually dialed back as Smith and an underwhelming supporting cast struggled to move the ball through the air.
The Jets signed Vick to provide veteran competition. The two have met several times during the offseason, and Smith claims he has no problem with the competition brought in by general manager John Idzik.
"I'm all for competition," said Smith. "I am going to compete no matter who (the team brings) in. I think we got a good guy in Mike, who brings something extra to the table as far as veteran leadership into our quarterback room.
"As well as a guy with tremendous capabilities that we all - him, myself and Matt Simms - can compete with one another as well as learn from one another. It should be fun in our quarterback room."
Vick has experience in the NFL and in the offensive system the Jets run. Smith claims he's ready to learn from Vick, while also proving he deserves to be behind center come Week 1.
"I respect what Michael said, but I understand that there's a competition and honestly, it comes down to what we do on the field," said Smith. "You (can talk about it) in these interviews, but it really comes down to what we do on the field and that's really what I look forward to.
"I look forward to competing with a guy like Mike because I know he has been a starter in this league and is capable at the age that he is. He still runs fast, he still throws it accurately and with great velocity. He is a very smart quarterback in my opinion and as long as we continue to get better, it's going to make our team better."

Metro is the build system for Funtoo Linux and Gentoo Linux stages. It automates the bootstrapping process.
This tutorial will take you through installing, setting up and running Metro.
How Metro Works
You may be wondering how Metro creates its first stage tarball. As you may have guessed, Metro cannot create a stage tarball out of thin air. To build a new stage tarball, Metro must use an existing, older stage tarball called a "seed" stage. This "seed" stage typically is used as the build environment for creating the stage we want.
Metro can use two kinds of seed stages. Traditionally, Metro has used a stage3 as a seed stage. This stage3 is then used to build a new stage1, which in turn is used to build a new stage2, and then a new stage3. This is generally the most reliable way to build Gentoo Linux or Funtoo Linux, so it's the recommended approach.
After switching metro builds to Funtoo profile, Gentoo stages are no longer provided!
Seeds and Build Isolation
Another important concept to mention here is something called build isolation. Because Metro creates an isolated build environment, and the build environment is explicitly defined using existing, tangible entities -- a seed stage and a portage snapshot -- you will get consistent, repeatable results. In other words, the same seed stage, portage snapshot and build instructions will generate an essentially identical result, even if you perform the build a month later on someone else's workstation.
Local Build
Say you wanted to build a new pentium4 stage3 tarball. The recommended method of doing this would be to grab an existing pentium4 stage3 tarball to use as your seed stage. Metro will be told to use this existing pentium4 stage3 to build a new stage1 for the same pentium4. For this process, the generic pentium4 stage3 would provide the build environment for creating our new stage1. Then, the new stage1 would serve as the build environment for creating the new pentium4 stage2. And the new pentium4 stage2 would serve as the build environment for creating the new pentium4 stage3.
In the Metro terminology this is called a local build, which means a stage3 of a given architecture is used to seed a brand new build of the same architecture. Incidentally this will be the first exercise we are going to perform in this tutorial.
A week later, you may want to build a brand new pentium4 stage3 tarball. Rather than starting from the original pentium4 stage3 again, you'd probably configure Metro to use the most-recently-built pentium4 stage3 as the seed. Metro has built-in functionality to make this easy, allowing it to easily find and track the most recent stage3 seed available.
Remote Build
Metro can also perform remote build, where a stage3 of a different, but binary compatible, architecture is used as a seed to build a different architecture stage3. Consequentiality the second exercise we are going to perform in this tutorial will be to build a core2 32bit stage3 tarball from the pentium4 stage3 tarball we have just built.
TODO: add caveats about what archs can be seeded and what can be not (maybe a table?)
Tailored Build
Last, it's also worthy noting that both in local and remote builds, Metro can be configured to add and/or remove individual packages to the final tarball. Let's say you can't live without app-misc/screen, at the end of this tutorial, we will show how to have your tailored stage3 to include it.
Installing Metro
recommended and supported method is to use the Git repository of Metro. First ensure you remove the dev-util/metro package if you had installed it:
# emerge -aC dev-util/metro
Then ensure that dev-vcs/git and dev-python/boto installed on your system:
# emerge dev-vcs/git # emerge dev-python/boto
Next, clone the master git repository as follows:
# install -d /root/git # cd /root/git # git clone git://github.com/funtoo/metro.git # ln -s /root/git/metro /usr/lib/metro # ln -s /root/git/metro/metro /usr/bin/metro
You will now have a directory called /root/git/metro that contains all the Metro source code. Installation complete!
Configuring Metro
Daniel Robbins maintains Metro, so it comes pre-configured to successfully build both Gentoo Linux and Funtoo Linux releases. Before reading farther, you might want to customize some basic settings like the number of concurrent jobs to fit your hardware's capabilities or the directory to use for produced stage archives. This is accomplished by editing /root/git/metro/etc/metro.conf which is the Metro's master configuration file. The [path/mirror] section defines where Metro will look for things it needs and also dump things it creates. As initially configured, Metro is set up to build Funtoo Linux and Gentoo Linux stage tarballs and place them in the /home/mirror/linux directory:
# Mirror Paths - where to find required files and where to put created files [section path/mirror] : /home/mirror/linux
If you want to change the location of your mirror on disk, then edit the /home/mirror/linux line (which defines the path/mirror variable) to point to another directory.
For the purpose of the following steps, set an environment variable:
(~) # export METRO_MIRROR=/home/mirror/linux
Of course, set the environment variable to whatever location you used in the configuration file.
Arch and Subarch
In the following example we are creating a pentium4 stage 3 compiled for x86-32bit binary compatibility. Pentium4 is a subarch of the x86-32bit architecture. Once you have metro installed you may find a full list of each subarch in your /usr/lib/metro/subarch directory each subarch will have the file extension .spec Example:
# ls /usr/lib/metro/subarch/ amd64-k10.spec athlon-tbird.spec generic_32.spec native_32.spec pentium-mmx.spec amd64-k8_32.spec athlon-xp.spec generic_64.spec native_64.spec pentium-m.spec amd64-k8.spec atom_32.spec generic_sparcv9.spec niagara2.spec pentiumpro.spec amd64-k8+sse3_32.spec atom_64.spec geode.spec niagara.spec pentium.spec amd64-k8+sse3.spec btver1_64.spec i486.spec nocona.spec prescott.spec armv7a.spec btver1.spec i686.spec opteron_64.spec ultrasparc3.spec athlon-4.spec core2_32.spec k6-2.spec pentium2.spec ultrasparc.spec athlon-mp.spec core2_64.spec k6-3.spec pentium3.spec xen-pentium4+sse3_64.spec athlon.spec corei7.spec k6.spec pentium4.spec xen-pentium4+sse3.spec
For an example list of Architectures, take a look at the directory listing on the Funtoo-Current Mirror.
First stages build (local build)
To get this all started, we need to bootstrap the process by downloading an initial seed stage3 to use for building and place it in its proper location in /home/mirror/linux, so that Metro can find it. We will also need to create some special "control" files in /home/mirror/linux, which will allow Metro to understand how it is supposed to proceed.
Step 0: Optional Quick Copy of Portage Tree
There is a quick step you can perform to avoid having Metro re-clone the entire Portage tree. Perform this as root:
# cd /usr/portage; git checkout origin/master # install -d /var/tmp/metro/cache/cloned-repositories # cat /root/git/metro/etc/builds/funtoo-current/build.conf | grep name name: portage-mini-2011 # cp -a /usr/portage /var/tmp/metro/cache/cloned-repositories/ports-2012 # cd /usr/portage; git checkout funtoo.org
Step 1: Set up pentium4 repository (local build)
Assuming we're following the basic steps outlined in the previous section, and building an unstable funtoo (funtoo-current) build for the pentium4, using a generic pentium4 stage3 as a seed stage, then here the first set of steps we'd perform:
(~) # install -d "${METRO_MIRROR}/funtoo-current/x86-32bit/pentium4" (~) # cd "${METRO_MIRROR}/funtoo-current/x86-32bit/pentium4" (/home/mirror/linux/funtoo-current/x86-32bit/pentium4) # install -d 2011-12-13 (/home/mirror/linux/funtoo-current/x86-32bit/pentium4) # cd 2011-12-13 (/home/mirror/linux/funtoo-current/x86-32bit/pentium4/2011-12-13) # wget -c http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/funtoo/funtoo-current/x86-32bit/pentium4/2011-12-13/stage3-pentium4-funtoo-current-2011-12-13.tar.xz (/home/mirror/linux/funtoo-current/x86-32bit/pentium4/2011-12-13) # cd .. (/home/mirror/linux/funtoo-current/x86-32bit/pentium4) # install -d .control/version (/home/mirror/linux/funtoo-current/x86-32bit/pentium4) # echo "2011-12-13" > .control/version/stage3 (/home/mirror/linux/funtoo-current/x86-32bit/pentium4) # install -d .control/strategy (/home/mirror/linux/funtoo-current/x86-32bit/pentium4) # echo "local" > .control/strategy/build (/home/mirror/linux/funtoo-current/x86-32bit/pentium4) # echo "stage3" > .control/strategy/seed
OK, let's review the steps above. First, we create the directory "${METRO_MIRROR}/funtoo-current/x86-32bit/pentium4", which is where Metro will expect to find unstable funtoo-current pentium4 builds -- it is configured to look here by default. Then we create a specially-named directory to house our seed x86 stage3. Again, by default, Metro expects the directory to be named this way. We enter this directory, and download our seed x86 stage3 from funtoo.org. Note that the 2010-12-24 version stamp matches. Make sure that your directory name matches the stage3 name too. Everything has been set up to match Metro's default filesystem layout.
Next, we go back to the "${METRO_MIRROR}/funtoo-current/x86-32bit/pentium4" directory, and inside it, we create a .control directory. This directory and its subdirectories contain special files that Metro references to determine certain aspects of its behavior. The .control/version/stage3 file is used by Metro to track the most recently-built stage3 for this particular build and subarch. Metro will automatically update this file with a new version stamp after it successfully builds a new stage3. But because Metro didn't actually build this stage3, we need to set up the .control/version/stage3 file manually. This will allow Metro to find our downloaded stage3 when we set up our pentium4 build to use it as a seed. Also note that Metro will create a similar .control/version/stage1 file after it successfully builds an pentium4 funtoo-current stage1.
We also set up .control/strategy/build and .control/strategy/seed files with values of local and stage3 respectively. These files define the building strategy Metro will use when we build pentium4 funtoo-current stages. With a build strategy of local, Metro will source its seed stage from funtoo-current pentium4, the current directory. And with a seed strategy of stage3, Metro will use a stage3 as a seed, and use this seed to build a new stage1, stage2 and stage3.
Step 2: Building the pentium4 stages
Incidentally, if all you wanted to do at this point was to build a new pentium4 funtoo-current stage1/2/3 (plus openvz and vserver templates). You would begin the process by typing:
# cd /root/git/metro # scripts/ezbuild.sh funtoo-current pentium4
If you have a slow machine, it could take several hours to be completed because several "heavy" components like gcc or glibc have to be recompiled in each stage. Once a stage has been successfully completed, it is placed in the "${METRO_MIRROR}/funtoo-current/x32-bit/pentium4/YYYY-MM-DD" subdirectory, where YYYY-MM-DD is today's date at the time the ezbuild.sh script was started or the date you put on the ezscript.sh command line.
Step 3: The next build
At this point, you now have a new pentium4 stage3. If you'd like, you can reconfigure Metro to use the most recently-built pentium4 stage3 as a seed for any pentium4 builds. To do this, simply type:
# echo "local" > /home/mirror/linux/funtoo-current/x86-32bit/pentium4/.control/strategy/build
Now, Metro will use the most recentpentium4 stage3 as a seed. The .control/remote files you created will be ignored by Metro, since it's no longer going to perform a remote build.
Building for another binary compatible architecture (remote build)
As written above, Metro is able to perform remote build building different architecture stage3 from a binary compatible seeding stage3 (e.g. using a pentium4 stage3 to seed a Intel Core2 32bits stage3).
In the Metro terminology this is called a remote build (a stage 3 of a different, but binary compatible, architecture is used as a seed). What's not compatible? You can't use a Sparc architecture to generate an x86 or ARM based stage and vice-versa. If you use a 32bit stage then you don't want to seed a 64bit build from it. Be sure that you are using a stage from the same architecture that you are trying to seed. Check Funtoo-current FTP Mirror for a stage that is from the same Architecture that you will be building.
Step 1: Set up Core_2 32bit repository
In this example, we're going to use this pentium4 funtoo-current stage3 to seed a new Core_2 32bit funtoo-current build. To get that done, we need to set up the pentium4 build directory as follows:
# cd "${METRO_MIRROR}/funtoo-current/x86-32bit" # install -d core2_32 # cd core2_32 # install -d .control/strategy # echo "remote" > .control/strategy/build # echo "stage3" > .control/strategy/seed # install -d .control/remote # echo "funtoo-current" > .control/remote/build # echo "pentium4" > .control/remote/subarch
The steps we follow are similar to those we performed for a local build to set up our pentium4 directory for local build. However, note the differences. We didn't download a stage, because we are going to use the pentium4 stage to build a new Core_2 32bit stage. We also didn't create the .control/version/stage{1,3} files because Metro will create them for us after it successfully builds a new stage1 and stage3. We are still using a stage3 seed strategy, but we've set the build strategy to remote, which means that we're going to use a seed stage that's not from this particular subdirectory. Where are we going to get it from? The .control/remote directory contains this information, and lets Metro know that it should look for its seed stage3 in the "${METRO_MIRROR}/home/mirror/linux/funtoo-current/x86-32bit/pentium4" directory. Which one will it grab? You guessed it -- the most recently built stage3 (since our seed strategy was set to stage3) that has the version stamp of 2010-12-24, as recorded in "${METRO_MIRROR}/funtoo-current/x86-32bit/pentium4/.control/version/stage3". Now you can see how all those control files come together to direct Metro to do the right thing.
Step 2: Building the Core_2 32bit stages
Now, you could start building your new Core_2 32bit stage1/2/3 (plus openvz and vserver templates) by typing the following:
# /root/git/metro/scripts/ezbuild.sh funtoo-current core2_32
In that case, the produced stages are placed in the "${METRO_MIRROR}/funtoo-current/x32-bit/core2_32/YYYY-MM-DD" subdirectory.
Step 3: The Next Build
At this point, you now have a new Core_2 32bit stage3. If you'd like, you can reconfigure Metro to use the most recently-built Core_2 32bit stage3 as a seed for any new Core_2 32bit builds.
In the Metro terminology this is called a local build (a stage 3 of a a given architecture is used to seed a brand new build of the same architecture).
To do this, simply type:
# echo "local" > /home/mirror/linux/funtoo-current/x86-32bit/core2_32/.control/strategy/build
Now, Metro will use the most recent Core_2 32bit stage3 as a seed. The .control/remote files you created will be ignored by Metro, since it's no longer going to perform a remote build.
Build your own tailored stage3
Metro can be easily configured for building custom stage3 by including additional packages. Notice that including packages with heavy dependencies such as gnome, kde, xorg-server is not recommended (not tested so far).

Border management
Fighting terrorism and transnational crime through effective border management.
In our increasingly globalized world, it is easier for people and goods to cross international borders than ever before. Criminals are exploiting this progress to cross borders more freely and commit serious crimes.
Effective border security is therefore an essential aspect of combating transnational crime.
At INTERPOL, we offer a range of tools and services which can help member countries enhance their border security procedures and integrate their border security efforts with those of their neighbours.
We coordinate operational activities, offer training opportunities and cultivate partnerships with international organizations in order to ensure the safety and security of all national borders.
INTERPOL Integrated Border Management Task Force
To centralize our border security efforts, we have created the INTERPOL Integrated Border Management Task Force.
Comprising representatives of the relevant INTERPOL departments, the task force serves as a central point of contact and coordination for international border security and management activities, bringing all efforts under the oversight of a single entity.
The task force leads and coordinates INTERPOL initiatives involving border security. It is responsible for:
- Planning and coordinating border security management policy;
- Enhancing the capacity of border security in member countries;
- Developing partnerships with international organization and the private sector;
- Allocating operational resources to border security initiatives.

Using the ATI 8.26.18 drivers, it had no problem with the automatic installation option, and instantly recognized the ATI Radeon Mobility X1400 with 128MB of dedicated video memory. I have yet to try out the new IBM/Lenovo display switching with the atieventsd, however, that will come shortly. The T60 was using the 2.6.17 kernel with the 8.26.18 drivers.

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used as credit towards that service with that business for an additional three months.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher as credit towards a bungy jump, for another three months.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

Japanese Acupuncture - A Clinical Guide (9780912111421)
Publisher: Paradigm Publications
Binding: Paperback
This text is a practical guide to the tools, skills, and techniques common to all acupuncture practice with an emphasis on those that are uniquely or creatively Japanese. It is clear, direct, and completely illustrated with high resolution close-up photography. The instructions are simple and concise so they may be easily applied to the practice of any acupuncture tradition.
Beginning with traditional needling techniques, the text covers filiform needling, supplementation and drainage, needle with moxa - all with several approaches. Moxibustion is covered to an equally great extent and detail, as are instruments, intradermal needles, press tack needles and spheres.
In addition to highly specialized Japanese techniques such as shonishinpo (treatment techniques for children) and the Manaka wooden hammer and needle technique, therapies like cupping that are used throughout Asia are described in full detail. This book is more than just a fine collection of practical instruction. The introduction provides context through a brief but very accessible tour of modern Japanese training and practice that includes a highly useful guide to root treatment. Each of the techniques is also made more valuable by the description of treatment protocols with proven histories of successful clinical application.
