Hello, I have bought the Keil development tool for mcb2148 and I'm trying to compile the HID client example that comes with it... However using borland c++ 6 I get lots of error messages. If anyone knows how to solve this please leave me a note. Thanks Doug
I don't want to take the trouble to port the code to another development platform, but if it has much meaning for you, these are the point.
- The code is written for MS VC++ with MFC - The code requires HID and SetupDi- header files and library
I've heard recent C++ builder supports MFC, but not sure. Ask it on this forum,
borland.public.cppbuilder.ms_compatibility http://groups.google.com/group/borland.public.cppbuilder.ms_compatibility/topics As of HID and SetupDi- header files and library, Officially, these files are included in WinDDK. Free WinDDK (Server 2k3 SP1 DDK) is downloaded from MS
"DDK - Windows Driver Development Kit" from MS WHDC http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/DevTools/ddk/default.mspx Find "Download the Windows Server 2003 SP1 DDK [236 MB ISO file]" link
On the Intel Press site for the book, "USB Design by Example", you'll find an excerpt of HID files from Win2K DDK. :-)
FromDDK.zip http://www.intel.com/intelpress/usb/examples/ZipFiles/FromDDK.htm
Tsuneo, these are the errors I get... Do you know what could cause this?
D:\WINDDK\3790.1830\inc\mfc42\afxres.rc(152) : error RC2135 : file not found: res\help.cur D:\WINDDK\3790.1830\inc\mfc42\afxres.rc(171) : error RC2135 : file not found: res\3dcheck.bmp D:\WINDDK\3790.1830\inc\mfc42\afxres.rc(194) : error RC2135 : file not found: res\minifwnd.bmp D:\WINDDK\3790.1830\inc\mfc42\afxres.rc(199) : error RC2135 : file not found: res\ntcheck.bmp D:\WINDDK\3790.1830\inc\mfc42\afxres.rc(200) : error RC2135 : file not found: res\95check.bmp
Now, what could the probable causes be that a compiler fails to find files? Care to take a guess?
- That you don't have any files with that name on your hard drive? - That you have the files, but that you haven't instructed the tool to process that specific directory? - That you have the files, but have specified any access rights that forbidds the compiler from accessing them (not too common problem on Win32 machines)
So, time for you to start figuring out why you get these error messages, since we can not guess what files you have in your machine or where they are stored or where you have allowed the compiler to search...
I have the files on my machine. But I don't know where to include .bmp files. I have tried putting them on the folders that are included on the vc++ directories but that didn't work.
I figured it out, the /res folder didn't exist on the mfc so I created it and put the files there. It worked sorry about bugging you guys... and thanks !
You seem to get into the porting trouble of MFC (Microsoft Foundation Class). I think it is the waste of your valuable time. Rather, split out the example code into building blocks, and ignore the GUI and framework of MFC.
The essential blocks for USB handling are, - The SetupDi-APIs are used to specify the device, and to get the device handle. - USB communication is done over this device handle, using File I/O, CreateFile - ReadFile - WriteFile - CloseHandle.
These code are stereotype one, and they works either in MSVC or C++ builder without modification, because these code use just the Windows APIs directly. Plug these blocks into the framework and GUI of C++ builder.
Blind porting doesn't bring you any understanding of USB handling.
I think the same can be said of any example code - not just USB!
Tsuneo, I've done just what you told me to. I'm using 64 bytes repots just like you've explained on another post. Still I don't get outreports from my application. What could be the cause of this? Any ideas on what sort of test should I do?
I wonder if this specific example doesn't work with vc++ 2008 express edition. Maybe it was compiled with some earlier version of the software, but all I know is that it doesn't work, the closest I've got for the example were linker errors.
"I wonder if this specific example doesn't work with vc++ 2008 express edition."
Unfortunately, Express edition doesn't support MFC. Just .Net FrameWork.
My C++ Builder v5 - which is pretty old now - supports MFC...
Ok I'll tell you guys what I have done so far... Since where I work people are experienced with BC++ I have to use the compiler to make my application. With that said what I did was, there's a tool on the BC called "Visual C++ project conversion utility" so I used it on the HID example code from Keil. So I got an application that works fine for HID. But here comes the problem, I followed Tsuneo steps to make 64 bits in and out reports, on the arm everything works fine. I've got a sniffer looking at the packages that were being exchanged and I only get in reports. Out reports dont work with my application. How do I know that? I wrote code on the arm so it would set a led when outreport was received, then I used my sniffer to send out reports and the led was set.
To my knowledge, the Express edition doesn't have support for MFC. It was at least missing in a previous version of the Express edition that I looked at.
Bummer huh, subscription of the standard version costs something like U$1200. Also I can't get Tsuneo's idea of separating the software into blocks to work on bcb 6 with 64 byte reports, using 8 bit report works fine.
Does anybody know a software to test my win application? Not a sniffer but something that would emulate the hid device?
"Does anybody know a software to test my win application?"
Win application? Do you mean something like HID device emulator?
For HID device test, this app will work.
On Ms.Axelson's "The HID Page", SimpleHIDWrite http://www.lvr.com/files/SimpleHIDWrite3.zip
"Also I can't get Tsuneo's idea of separating the software into blocks to work on bcb 6 with 64 byte reports, using 8 bit report works fine."
8 bit report? Isn't it 8 byte report?
Anyway, start with the working one. What do you change from the "8 bit" report to 64 byte one, the device side and the host side.
On the device I did exacly what you've said on another thread and on the host I changed the report sizes to 64 bytes.
I'd like to document everything I did to get the HID Client to build, all in one spot.
I have installed * Visual C++ 6.0 * Visual Studio C++ 2005 Express Edition * Windows WDK, my version is 6001.18002.
For my case, both versions of Visual C++ DID need to be installed. ================================ 1. INSTALL WINDOWS WDK To start off with, you need to download the Windows Driver Kit - WDK (formerly known as the DDK).
Follow the instructions under "show/hide steps." http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/DevTools/WDK/WDKpkg.mspx?lc=1033
Unless you enjoy burning one-time-use CD's, install UltraISO to extract the ISO file. Install to the default directory for simplicity. ================================ 2. INSTALL VISUAL STUDIO C++ EXPRESS EDITION. This should be free off the internet. ================================ 3. Open up the C:\Keil\ARM\Utilities\HID_Client\HIDClient.sln file. This will automatically open up the project in Visual Studio. ================================ 4. Now you need to add some new include paths. In Visual Studio, select Tools->Options->Projects and Solutions -> VC++ Directories. Under the "Show directories for:", select include files, then you'll need to add:
C:\WinDDK\6001.18002\inc\ddk C:\WinDDK\6001.18002\inc\api C:\WinDDK\6001.18002\inc\mfc42
Under "library files," you'll need to add:
C:\WinDDK\6001.18002\lib\atl\i386 C:\WinDDK\6001.18002\lib\mfc\i386 C:\WinDDK\6001.18002\lib\wxp\i386 C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\MFC\Lib
The last one is a Visual C++ 6.0 path. ================================ 5. Copy some resource files. I needed to copy some contents of the following VC++ path into my project directory
copy C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\MFC\Include\Res\*.* c:\Keil\ARM\Utilities\HID_Client\res
================================ 6. Build and execute. ================================ Good luck.

UC Berkeley's mission control 01 June 2001
Once in orbit, the satellite comes under UC Berkeley's control, with commands uplinked and data downlinked through a 36-foot (11 meters) radio dish perched in the wooded hills above UC Berkeley. From mission control in the nearby Space Sciences Laboratory, HESSI mission operators will monitor the automatic pointing of the satellite toward the sun, deployment of the four solar panels, and the spin-up of the satellite to about 15 revolutions per minute.
Once power is being supplied from the solar panels to onboard batteries, the operators will start the onboard cooler to get the germanium detectors down to 75 Kelvin (324 degrees below zero Fahrenheit or 198 degrees below zero Celsius). This will take several days, but is necessary before any flare observations can be made. The nine germanium detectors represent the largest and most advanced array of germanium detectors ever flown in space.
Because hard X-rays and gamma rays cannot be focused like visible light gamma rays can pass right through the spacecraft HESSI uses a novel technique to produce pictures of flares. Pairs of grids, each etched from dense materials that block gamma rays and hard X-rays, are aligned to let radiation from only a small portion of the sun pass through to the detector. As the satellite spins along an axis pointing at the sun, nine of these grid pairs create a moving light show on the germanium detectors.
The information is sent back to Earth, where computers translate the data into pictures of the flare every second or so. It is also possible to obtain the energy spectrum of the hard X-rays and gamma-rays at each location in the pictures.
Information is stored on the spacecraft and sent to the ground whenever the satellite passes over Berkeley, about every 90 minutes for about a third of the day. The HESSI team has enlisted the help of radio antennas in Europe and the eastern United States to download data during very active periods when several large flares may fill the onboard memory before it can be emptied during the Berkeley passes. The team hopes to detect upwards of a hundred gamma-ray flares, more than a thousand X-ray flares, and perhaps 10,000 microflares during the two- to three-year duration of the mission.
Lin and his scientific team will compare the X-ray and gamma-ray images from HESSI with pictures from other solar observing satellites at different wavelengths to probe the mechanism of flare formation. The data will be made freely available online within hours of receipt at the ground station.

K2 lifelike
I recently purchased this deck after riding a k2 happy hour for the past year. For me, the lifelike provides superior handling and maneuverability. In fact, it has become my number 1.
I consider myself still a novice, riding 1-2 times a week on groomers. I would recommend to any rider looking for a cost efficient solution that is durable and fun to ride.

Great buy
Awesome board. Great price. Very good for all mountain and free ride. It is softer than other flatline boards to allow more versatility but still stiff enough to carve a pumpkin in the ice
Love this K2
I bought this to go out to Vail and it was a sick ride. Base is fast and the twin shape is easy to mess around with. Really a versatile board that can do a lot of things with little effort.
K2 Lifelike Review
I have thoroughly enjoyed my K2 Lifelike snowboard. It is a great board for my intermediate skill level and all types of boarding. I would recommend it for beginner to intermediate riders.
Lifelike Snowboard
Great board. Easy to ride and cruise the entire hill.
K2 Review
Great board! Not as much flex as I was thinking, but allows for good maneuverability. Had to get used to the no rocker, but powered out of the turns nicely. This board is very fast with its sintered base. I was outrunning everyone! Cant wait to ride again!!
K2 Lifelike
Great board so far. I've only ridden it once, but I like it. It is very light and carves great. It is taking a little while to adjust from my smaller terrain board to the larger 161 size. The only down side is that Ive already got a few nicks on the edges after just one ride.
Great, light board
This board is extremely light and gives the feeling of nothing being under your feet. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because I like to go down the mountain fast in a straight line every now and again and this board is great for that but can give you a bumpy ride. I would say that is because the board is so light and is more of a park board overall. Again, very light, lots of pop, and definitely a very comfortable ride overall.
Excellent Beginner Board
I've been riding for over 10 years, read most reviews that said this was a good expert board.. would have to disagree. All around quality good board, with the right amount of flex to hit the park and freeride, but the edges look like they belong on the first board I ever rode. Would like a little sharper edge for harder cuts, but still a pretty decent ride.
Very stifff
It's a great board mind you, just extremely stiff. If I could I would trade for something a lite more flexible.
Looks great, Haven't tried it yet
Your videos and customer service helped. Board looks great! First fresh day off work taking off to test it out.

Would this be a good board for me? I am a beginner and don't do much freestyle, mostly mountain. I do want to do more freestyle and learn to ride switch better though. I am 5'10" 180-185 lbs. Thanks!
Best Answer: This board its very friendly. I used to ride only bigger mountain boards, but wanted something a little smaller and more geared for freestyle. This board can do it all! Very well balanced, even though this is my first season on it it's already become by favorite board. love it way more then my older K2 Darkstar and Burton Custom. I ride a 149 at 5'8 175lbs
Will this work with my Ride LX bindings?
Best Answer: Yes they will. Bindings and mounting pattern are 4x4.

I'm a beginner, i've only gone a couple times, i did pretty poorly the first two times with the mountain rental boards a 155 and 157. Last time i went i rented a 160 burton from a local ski shop and had a much easier time turning, carving, everything. I'm 6'1" 170, long legs. Wondering what size board would be best for me, considering this board, the k2 brigade, k2 illusion. What size board, and is there any one in particular would you say would be best suited for me?
Best Answer: You're going to like either one of those boards. If your gravitating towards all mountain get a 160ish, park go 157. I have the lifelike in 161 for hauling ass through chunder, the pow days, and big jump lines. I'm your hight but a little lighter. I'd honestly go with the cheapest board and put the savings into boots because you have no idea what to compare it too and will love whatever your on. In the next season or two buy another one with a little more perspective on your style of riding :) And buy with confidence, K2's rip. I've had 4 of them through the past 16 years and none of em sucked. And good call picking the flat camber boards, they're not noodles for carving, but not too stiff for buttering like traditional camber.
**If you have a narrow foot look at Northwave for boots. And stay away from burton binders, heel drag city and good luck getting parts from them when they fall apart after 5 rides without shipping them in under warranty @&$holes.

Any chance this board which is a couple years old will go more on discount like some of the 2013 Ride boards have additional 20% in cart? Would be an easy purchase if so.
What size board should I be looking at? I'm 5'7", so initially I was thinking 155... but my weight is ~195lb, which makes me think I need to be looking at 161. Appreciate the help, not sure if it matters, I'm in a size 10.5 Burton boot and looking at GNU Street bindings. I'm primarily on the groomed trails of Killington and prefer the long cruising runs, so stability is important with the speed, but I don't want to give up responsiveness either.
I have Burton Custom bindings purchased in like 2004 on a Burton Indie 158 snowboard (same year). Will those bindings work with this board? I don't believe i have any other attachments, inserts, or adapters other than what's currently on the board now. I'm 5'9" about 180 lbs and am intermediate-advanced. Don't really venture into the park, but do like trees & bumps and spend most of my time on blacks and blues. I have size 10 Solomon Dialogue boots. Will this be a good setup? Thanks!

Stephen Thomas Erlewine
Most critics and pop music trainspotters didn't give Creed's 1997 debut My Own Prison much credit upon its release, even though it wound up going multi-platinum. At the time, they seemed like one of many heavy post-grunge guitar outfits -- especially to the disinterested observers who tend to name genres and classify bands. So, when the group unleashed their second album, Human Clay, in 1999, the industry, critics, and record collectors alike were stunned, positively stunned, when it entered the charts at number one, then stayed in the upper reaches of the charts for months on end. Nobody could figure out why this group managed to not just survive, but thrive when such fellow travelers as Our Lady Peace fell by the wayside. After all, at the time, not only were post-grunge bands dying, but so were such grunge heavyweights as Pearl Jam and Soundgarden's Chris Cornell. Listening to Human Clay doesn't really reveal any insights, either, since it is hard rock rooted firmly in the Seattle vein, complete with really big riffs and intensely introspective lyrics. Then, a realization sets in: Unlike their influences -- from Pearl Jam and Alice in Chains to Stone Temple Pilots -- Creed is happy to be a rock band. Their music may not be particularly joyous and they may even favor foreboding, heavy riffs, but they're not trying to stretch into political causes or worldbeat like Pearl Jam; they're not reveling in dark psychedelia like Soundgarden; nor are they attempting a glam Abbey Road like Stone Temple Pilots. Creed is a straightforward grunge and hard rock band, embracing everything that goes along with that, and doing it pretty well. They might not have as strong an identity as their forefathers, but they're not faceless, especially in the late '90s, an era when most popular hard rock is either rap-rock, industrial-tinged, or plain out thuggish (at times, of course, it's all three). Creed has more class than that and they write relatively solid riffs and hooks. It may not be the kind of thing that knocks out critics or grunge purists, but it does deliver for anyone looking for direct, grunge-flavored hard rock. Within that realm, the band does mix things up a bit -- it's not all mid-tempo sludge, for there are also ballads and some high-octane, up-tempo rockers -- and that makes Human Clay a stronger, better-paced record than its predecessor, which wasn't bad either. It's hard to tell on the basis of these two records if Creed has staying power. However, Human Clay does make it clear that there is an audience for post-grunge hard rock, as long as it's delivered without pretension and as long as it meets the audience's desire for straight-ahead, hard-hitting music. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi

I have happily had solar panels on my home since 2012. I wanted a source of electricity that did not add to the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
The small system of 13 panels on my roof generates enough electricity to offset about 75 % of my annual use. Belmont Light was very helpful during the installation, allowing me to connect to the Belmont electric system so when I am not generating enough electricity I can get power from the grid and when I produce more than I need it goes back into the grid to be used by another Belmont customer. The system is seamless and works perfectly. Also Belmont Light�s program of �net metering�, which allows me to use each kilowatt I generate to offset a kilowatt I am consuming, means that within 10 years I can pay off the cost of my system. This may not be a great investment return but I do eventually break even, all the while using carbon-free electricity.
This may all change.
Belmont's Municipal Light Advisory Board (MLAB) has proposed to change the net metering policy, forcing me to sell all the electricity I generate to Belmont Light at about $.06/kilowatt-hour (kWh) and buy it back from them at about $.19/kWh. There are three other municipal light departments in Massachusetts that have this policy and, not surprisingly, those communities have almost no residential solar arrays.
If you would like to see more homes in town generating carbon-free electricity, reducing demand on Belmont�s electric grid, and reducing Belmont's carbon footprint you can do two things:
Express your opinion to MLAB by going to the
Take Action
section on the
homepage; and
Attend a public meeting on
September 18th
where the proposed policy change will be discussed�(time and place TBA � call 617-993-2600 if not announced on the Town website).
Thanks to Roger Wrubel, TMM Precinct 5 for these thoughts on residential solar.

"We change lives one dance at a time."
Luther College Dance Marathon is a student organization on campus that strives to provide a community of emotional and financial support for the children of Children's Miracle Network Hospitals. Dance Marathon is a national fundraising program of CMN centered around the celebration of the lives and struggles of children with serious, and terminal illnesses. Throughout the year each LCDM member gets to know an incredible child (our "miracle kids") while fundraising for the University of Iowa Children's Hospital, a CMN hospital.
The year in activities includes multiple fundraising opportunities, the chance to be apart of a "morale" group that is led by a student captain, and the privilege of meeting and loving these incredible, incredible children. LCDM will culminate on April 18 with our second ever Dance Marathon in the Regents Center, a 12-hour event that is equal parts rave, inspirational talk, and party. It is tradition at these events that attendees do not sit for the entire event, as a sign of solidarity FOR THE KIDS. During the event our CMN kids and their families will present, dance, and play as we celebrate just how far they have come. The event culminates in the final hour with the "big reveal" of our fundraising total. We are excited to announce that our initial fundraising goal is $47,555. We hope to be joined in this goal by 555 Dancers are you up to the challenge?
"Luther College Dance Marathon is a community that supports the financial and emotional well-being of local Children's Miracle Network families, while refining the unique strengths of the student leaders through joyful stewardship and service."

2007 Terrabianca 'Scassino' Chianti Classico
Avg. Rating:
There are still a few gold nuggets left from the epic '07 vintage. Robert Parker's Wine Advocate wrote that Scassino 'is soft, warm and generous. This is a beautiful, poised Chianti that captures the warmth of the vintage in its fat, juicy fruit.' Redolent of red berries and warm Tuscan earth, this will appeal to fans of an Italian flavor profile with modern lines. Grab some of these before the last of the '07's ride off into the sunset.

Rig Hauling Hazardous Materials Rolls in New Mexico
LAS CRUCES, N.M. (AP) -- Interstate 10 west of here was closed for several hours while emergency workers cleaned up two accidents, including the crash of a tractor-trailer that was hauling explosives and flammable liquid.
The eastbound lanes were opened before dawn Thursday, but the westbound lanes remained closed. Motorists were diverted to a frontage road.
The first accident happened around 2:30 p.m. Wednesday when the driver of the tractor-trailer told police he swerved to avoid an erratic driver and lost control. The truck driver, Martin Guzman, 34, of Corpus Christi, Texas, and passenger Charles Gibson, 39, of Houston were treated for minor injuries, police said.
As emergency workers sought to determine the nature of the rig's contents, a line of vehicles backed up in the westbound lanes. At about 3 p.m., a van driven by Ruth Maxey, 83, of Deming, crashed into a tractor-trailer that was slowing down.
Maxey told police she was trying to pass the truck when the front corner of her van struck the rear of the semi's trailer. The van then spun around and collided with the front of the semi, causing the minivan to roll onto its top.
State police spokesman Lt. Jimmy Glascock said the passenger, Marion Maxey, 86, later died of his injuries.
The rig involved in the first accident was carrying 580 pounds of explosives, 1,350 pounds of flammable liquid and 3,780 pounds of flammable gas, police said. The combination caused police to close the area.
The Las Cruces Fire Department hazardous materials team and Dona Ana County emergency operation center were on standby as state police and bomb teams from White Sands Missile Range and Fort Bliss worked to remove the flammable materials from the trailer.

Hi everyone, I'm new to TW, but this is my second Toyota (first was a '95 4Runner 4x4, solid vehicle w/175k, and no major problems). My 09 tacoma (have had for about 3 weeks) has a stereo problem. While driving, especially on a bumpy road, the stereo will turn off and/or the face light will turn on and off. Not too good w/ stereos but this sounds like an electrical problem. Also, I have the six speakers w/ a subwoofer, shouldnt I have a JBL stereo head, because I don't? Kinda bought the vehicle in a hurry and didnt get too caught up w/ details like that since I needed it for work. I would just go to a dealership, but I don't have time for them to take my truck away for 1/2 a day or more; I guess I might have to wait 'till I'm home. Just wanted some feedback, anything will help...thanks!
btw, really happy so far w/ the 09. Its covered in mud with paper plates, how many of you can say that ;^) Great site you have here, but it makes me paranoid while driving, constantly listening for problems i've read on here!

Oil question: Compressor vs Air Tool Oil?
I'm a new air owner and am confused by one thing (so far):
Is there a difference between "Compressor Oil" and Air Tool Oil? I thought I was buying the later when I re-read the bottle and found out it was the former. Can Compressor oil be used as air tool oil or is there some property that makes it different, like viscosity or additives? I don't know if I need to return the compressor oil to the store....
Thanks for your help!

3x3 Determinants - Concept
Norm Prokup
Norm Prokup
Cornell University
PhD. in Mathematics
Norm was 4th at the 2004 USA Weightlifting Nationals! He still trains and competes occasionally, despite his busy schedule.
Methods for computing a 3x3 determinant are important and are used when defining the cross product. Finding a 3x3 determinant is not as computationally heavy as finding the determinant of a larger square matrix. However, finding this determinant is more complicated than finding a 2x2 determinant. Using methods for simplifying determinants through row operations can make finding the 3x3 determinant much simpler.
Computing a 2 by 2 determinant is pretty easy I'm going to assume you already know that. I want to show you how to compute a 3 by 3 determinant. Now this is a little more complicated so the first thing I have to do is talk about the minor of an element so when we look at this determinant all of these numbers are called elements of the determinant. The minor of the element 6, this element, is the determinant that we get when we cross out the row and the column that 6 is is sitting in so the resulting determinant is 1,-1 5,3 okay and that determinant is 3 minus -5 which is 8 so the minor of element 6 is 8. Now we could do that for any other element that we have here we could it do for 10, again we cross out the row and the column that 10 is in and that creates a determinant always a 2 by 2 right when you're starting with the 3 by 3 and the minor this one is going to be 2,-1 -4,3 and we get 6-4 or 2 so this process of finding of calculating the minors of a 3 by 3 determinant is vital to actually calculating a 3 by 3 determinant this is how it's done.
You pick a row, I'll start by doing the first row and you calculate the minors associated with each value in that row so say 6 times the minor associated with 6 which is 1, -1, 5, 3 this determinant and then 10 times the minor associated with 10 is 2, -1, -4, 3 and then finally the last one in this row this top row -5 times and then the minor associated with -5 would be this guy 2, 1, -4, 5.
Now very important, the signs. When you calculate a determinant you have to alternate signs, the first one corresponding with this entry here is going to be positive then negative then positive so you have to put a minus sign here and a plus sign here, that's very important so positive negative positive and then it's 6 times this determinant we already calculated that to be 8 minus 10 times this determinant which we already calculated to be 2 plus -5 is -5 times and now this determinant is 10 minus -4 10+4 14 okay so let's see what we get here, we got 48-20-70 so that's 48-90 -42 so the 3 by 3 determinant is -42.
Again the process is basically, I started with the top row then I took each of these values 6, 10,-5 and I found its minor right? This is the minor for 6 and I add them up only I use opposite signs I start with a plus then I go minus then go plus and I'll give some more specicifics in a future lesson about how you do that when you expand along a row other than the first row.

I am very fun and outgoing person who loves to traveling and adventures in life.
Currently I am living, working and studying in London, but have no idea where life is going to lead me after I finish my studies. I study fashion, so it is a big passion of mine. Also I love chocolate, food in general music, theatre, going to movies and visiting different cultural events.
My dream destination would be Maldives, however for now I can not afford it I try to visit as many places possible in Europe.
My motto for life at the moment is to follow my dreams no matter what, so that is what I am trying to do!

Research roundup
16 October 2002
Grant to support technology for first quantum computer The work will allow a team of chemists, physicists, and engineers to determine the best solid-state materials from which to build the high-speed processors, which are able to perform millions or billions of calculations simultaneously. From there, says project leader K. Birgitta Whaley, professor of chemistry, the research will lead to testing of materials that can be used to build quantum nanoprocessors. Those futuristic machines will one day be a thousand times smaller than today's silicon-based microprocessors, and able to calculate hundreds or thousands of quantum bits (qubits) at the same time. "We'd like to exploit condensed matter, since engineers have had so much success making solid-state devices that are everywhere today — the chips in cell phones, computers and even washing machines," adds Michael F. Crommie, associate professor of physics. "We want to create comparable devices taking advantage of quantum mechanical effects." Over the next five years, the researchers will also be able to evaluate new techniques needed to control and measure qubits on the scale of atoms, Crommie says. Among the techniques to be evaluated are ultra-low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopes, which can pick up and move single atoms on the surface of a material, and superconducting quantum interference devices, or SQUIDS, which are sensitive enough to measure magnetic activity in the brain. Economists pessimistic about recovery Kenneth Rosen, chair of the Fisher Center for Real Estate and Urban Economics at the Haas School, and his co-author Amanda Bishop, say the current economic environment has several characteristics of previous recessions, and calculate the odds of a full-blown recession in late 2002 and 2003 at 60 percent. (The 40-percent chance of an ongoing slow recovery hinges on continued consumer spending.) In "Another Leg Down: Risk Factors That Could Push the Economy Back Into a Full Blown Recession," the authors note the potential impact of a number of other risk factors, such as a volatile stock market, badly bruised technology and telecom sectors, and corporate-accounting scandals and corporate fraud. Their findings are based on current trends that cause consumers to reduce their spending, including the stock-market correction; corporate America's second-round layoffs; high private-sector debt; a potential corporate-credit crunch; geopolitical events; and a continuing slump in capital spending. At the same time, Rosen and Bishop say, a few forces are stimulating the economy: extremely low interest rates, a surge in defense spending, and year-over-year increases in industrial production. Berkeley joins bioterrorism network The new Center for Infectious Disease Preparedness is being set up with funds from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in collaboration with the Association of Schools of Public Health. Berkeley and three other new centers — at the University of Michigan, University of Oklahoma, and University of South Carolina — will join 15 others funded in February as part of the Bush administation's $2.9-billion bioterrorism initiative. "The weaknesses of the nation's public-health infrastructure were made clear in last year's anthrax attacks," says Dr. Arthur Reingold, professor and head of epidemiology in the School of Public Health and lead investigator of the grant. To remedy that situation, researchers will work closely with state and local health officials in California and Nevada, as well as with the California Highway Patrol, to identify high-priority training needs and coordinate their efforts with the other academic centers for public-health preparedness around the country. Pre-K teachers working in a two-tier system "Inside the Classroom: A Study of Staffing and Stability in State-Funded Prekindergarten Programs" compares staff qualifications, stability, turnover rates, and compensation in state-funded prekindergarten programs in California and four other states. The substantial differences found in qualifications and compensation reflect clear evidence, the report says, of the development of "a two-tier system of prekindergarten education" in the four studied states offering both publicly and privately operated programs. From 1991 to 1999, pre-K enrollment in the U.S. increased from 250,000 to 750,000 children. Meanwhile, the overall child-care and early-education system, of which prekindergarten is a part, has been experiencing a major staffing crisis, with annual turnover rates reaching 30 percent. "In many state-funded pre-K programs, high turnover fueled by low wages seriously jeopardizes their capacity to attract teachers with higher qualifications," says senior researcher Marcy Whitebook of Berkeley's Institute of Industrial Relations. "This is a problem because we know that teachers' compensation and consistency make a huge difference in children's ability to learn." NSF awards $13 million to modernize software systems The project will be based at the Center for Hybrid and Embedded Software Systems (CHESS), founded and directed by Sastry, and will be a major part of the Berkeley-based Center for Information Technology Research in the Interest of Society (CITRIS). |

(Cover) - EN Movies - Director Robert Rodriguez thinks he and actor Antonio Banderas should reunite professionally soon.
The filmmaker worked with Antonio on Desperado in 1995 and Once Upon a Time in Mexico in 2003, the sequels to his 1992 breakout independent film El Mariachi.
Antonio did a small cameo role in Robert�s upcoming action feature Machete Kills.
The pair realised how much they missed working with each other while filming Machete Kills and Robert would love to work with Antonio again as soon as possible.
"We forgot about how much fun we've had together," Robert told MTV News.
"We decided we have to do something. We want to do another El Mariachi movie at some point. We always said we would, but [we'd shoot it] much later when he's older and rounder.
"We have to figure something else out, because he's in better shape now than he ever was.�
In celebration of his debut of El Mariachi at the Sundance Film Festival two decades ago, Robert hosted a special screening of his breakthrough feature at this year�s event.

News from Around the Farm World - Aug. 21, 2013
Salad mix production halted after stomach bug reports
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — A Mexico processing facility voluntarily suspended production of salad mix that's been linked to the outbreak of a stomach bug in Iowa and Nebraska, a California company announced last week.
Salinas, California-based Taylor Farms said its Mexican branch, Taylor Farms de Mexico, will not resume production and shipping of any salad mix as well as lettuce and other salad mix components without approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Production stopped Aug. 9 and has been shifted to domestic crops and processing facilities in the United States.
Company officials said the suspension, which is expected to last several weeks, allows Taylor Farms de Mexico to assist federal authorities in their investigation into the cyclosporiasis outbreak, a stomach illness that has sickened more than 500 people in 18 states.
The outbreak in Iowa and Nebraska has been linked to salad mix served at local Olive Garden and Red Lobster restaurants that were supplied by the plant in Mexico. The cases have not been linked to the other states.
Processing facilities in California, Colorado, Texas, Tennessee, Florida and Maryland will take over the salad mix production. Broccoli products that are not being investigated will continue to be produced at the Mexico facility, which is about 180 miles north of Mexico City in San Miguel de Allende.
Iowa farms still face electrical inspections, says board
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — The Iowa Electrical Examining Board won't exempt farm buildings from mandatory electrical inspections.
The Des Moines Register said the board voted 8-3 Thursday to reject a proposal that would have generally exempted farm buildings. The proposal was aimed at resolving issues stemming from a court ruling that the board exceeded its authority by requiring inspections on most electrical installations on farms.
Some critics say the inspections are a power grab by the board and they overburden farmers. Other farmers and their supporters say poorly installed electrical wiring creates safety hazards. On Thursday the board set a task force to seek a compromise to present to the legislature.
Great weather helps record crowd at Indiana State Fair
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. — Consistently sunny skies and below-normal temperatures coupled with new exhibits and popular promotions helped the Indiana State Fair set a new total attendance record, according to Andy Klotz, Indiana Fair Commission PR director.
The 157th edition of the fair, which wrapped up Sunday, attracted 978,296 people through the gates – 4,394 more visitors than the previous record of 973,902 in 2009 and a 15 percent increase from last year's total of 853,941.
With less than an inch of rain and an average temperature of 84 degrees during the fair, visitors were quite comfortable throughout the event. Next year's Indiana State Fair will run Aug. 1-17.
Lee County residents sue over proposed wind farm
DIXON, Ill. (AP) — Dozens of Lee County residents have filed a lawsuit against the County Board and an energy company in an effort to stop construction of a wind farm.
The (Dixon) Telegraph reported the lawsuit was filed Aug. 14 by almost 60 residents of the north-central Illinois county.
The suit names the county board and Mainstream Renewable Power. The Ireland-based company wants to build the 53-turbine Green River Wind Farm.
The project was approved by the County Board in May, overruling a zoning board recommendation that they reject it. The suit asks the court to stop the project and void its permits.
Plaintiffs say the wind farm is incompatible with surrounding residential and agricultural uses and say they fear it would hurt property values, create noise and disturb wildlife.
Officials confirm gray wolf was killed in Kentucky
FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — The Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources said federal officials have confirmed that a gray wolf was killed in Kentucky earlier this year.
The agency said wolves have been gone from Kentucky since the mid-1800s, so it's a mystery how the federally endangered animal ended up in Hart County near Munfordville in March. Hart County resident James Troyer shot the animal while hunting for predators on his family's farm.
Troyer said at first he thought he shot a coyote, but when he got a closer look, the animal looked more like a wolf. Since wolves haven't been seen in the state in more than a century, biologists were skeptical but recent results from DNA testing proved the animal was a wolf.

Aromatics Prices Take a Tumble9:52 AM MDT | June 21, 2012 | Lindsey Bewley Gulf Coast aromatics were weak and weaker, with spot benzene slumping 15 cts/gal. Toluene tumbled 25 cts/gal and mixed xylenes plunged 45 cts/gal, or 11.5%. In Europe spot benzene took a pounding, with traders reporting a rare triple-digit one-week plunge of $100/m.t. In contrast to the Gulf coast, European tolene and xylenes were able to hold the line, players say. After a big tumble last week, there were only minor adjustments noted in styrene, with sellers shaving $20/m.t. off their highest offers...

COLUMBIA - MU swimmers Colleen Gordon and Bennett Clark were in Indianapolis, Ind., Saturday, competing in the final day of the ConocoPhillips USA Swimming National Championship, the final course of Nationals before the 2008 Olympic Team Trials in swimming.
Gordon, a freshman from Missouri City, TX, whose personal best times in the 100 free (51.02) and 200 free (1.48.38) rank close to the Tigers' all-time top five, achieved a new career best in the 1500 free. The time, 17.02.76, placed her in 26th. Missouri coach Brian Hoffer says that Gordon is extremely versatile, and he expects that her sophomore season will yield excellent results.
Junior Bennett Clark of St. Louis made a top-24 finish at last year's Nationals meet in the 50 free, and was in the same event this year. He holds MU's school record in the 100 free and 800 free relay, and is a 2008 Olympic Trials Qualifier. In the finals Saturday night, Clark found himself clocking a new lifetime best of 23.40, and his second 24th-place showing. This has placed Clark among the nation's strongest sprinters.
"The team performed at a high level," Hoffer said. "Bennett continues to become one of the best sprinters in the country. I'm also very pleased with Colleen and her lifetime best swim."
According to the organizers' press release, the event drew more than 1,000 swimmers, including top U.S. Olympians.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Reports of Toews' exit premature?
Past predictions have been wrong
Vic Toews must be loving this.
Twice in the past two weeks, news reports indicated Manitoba's senior MP and regional cabinet minister would retire from politics. Both times, despite lots of "sources say" confirmation, no retirement announcement was made.
Those who know Toews -- and his compulsive contempt for journalists -- can only imagine the 60-year-old veteran politician sitting somewhere this past weekend with a look of complete satisfaction on his face as some of the country's top journalists struggle to nail down his retirement.
With a federal cabinet shuffle all but assured next week, all signs continue to suggest Toews will step aside. He is not the only Tory on the way out; Marjorie LeBreton, government leader in the Senate, and ministers Ted Menzies and Keith Ashfield have indicated they are leaving politics. Reports last Friday were firm that Toews would also announce he would not run for re-election. Typically, that would result in his being dropped from cabinet.
Is Toews' exit a foregone conclusion? Several times over the past few years, media reports have had Toews either retiring or being dropped from cabinet. Each time, it turned out the journalists were wrong. If we assume the back channels of political gossip are finally right, then perhaps it's time to look back at Toews and his career and determine how he will be remembered.
Toews is, in his own ways, one of the most colourful ministers ever to represent Manitoba in a federal cabinet. That is not to say he has been the most effective or the most popular; there have been other ministers more beloved or with better resumés. However, he is certainly among the most interesting.
Paraguayan-born, Manitoba-bred and educated, Toews has had, by any standard, a great career: prosecutor, provincial MLA and cabinet minister, MP and federal cabinet minister. He is an elegant public speaker and deft at retail politics. However, Toews is also the source of great contradiction and irony, qualities that have added to his mystique.
As a hardcore conservative, he has celebrated the virtues of capitalism and decried the burden of big government. And yet, he has been a public servant his entire professional life and upon retirement, will draw two public-sector pensions.
He is a staunch law-and-order advocate, and has used postings as both justice and public safety minister to emphasize strong, sometimes extreme, views on the Criminal Code, corrections and national security. And yet, Toews suffered the indignity of a conviction for violating provincial election-finance laws.
Toews had been a fierce critic of the vagaries and patronage influences in the judicial appointment process. And yet, in 2008, he applied for a federal judicial appointment in Manitoba prior to resigning his seat or cabinet post. When the plan went public, Toews withdrew his application.
All those ironies taken into consideration, how then should we judge the Toews era of federal politics in Manitoba?
Toews is as tough as they come. Opponents know him as unyielding in his party loyalty and sharp of tongue. Journalists, especially those who were the subject of biting, if somewhat unintelligible, middle-of-the-night email rants, know he does not suffer criticism well.
Perhaps that's why he has been, at times, the object of such derision. Contempt for Toews culminated in Vikileaks, where intimate details of his divorce were published far and wide in an anonymous Twitter attack. Toews got support from many after that attack, although many others suggested Toews, always quick with a nasty retort, was only getting what he deserved.
Cabinet ministers in Liberal governments who served as provincial power brokers before Toews measured their success on how much federal largesse they could secure for the home province. Toews did not succumb to that weakness. In fact, he became infamous for suppressing demands for largesse, or rebuking those who he felt got more than they actually deserved.
The Canadian Museum for Human Rights is a good case in point. A cause for several Liberal regional ministers, Toews disowned the project early on, serving the role of dispassionate bystander rather than vehement opponent. Later in the gestation of the project, when cost overruns required additional federal financing, Toews went from bystander to opponent, even advocating the project, nearing completion, should be abandoned.
Not everyone thinks the museum is a good cause, and no doubt Toews is a hero to those naysayers. The fact is the museum will open despite his neglect and, later, opposition. It's hard to see that as a badge of honour.
This week is the latest cliffhanger in the Toews retirement vigil. Up to now, he has frustrated all efforts to correctly predict his departure. Sooner or later, the laws of probability dictate one of us will get it right.
Although one has to wonder if Toews would stay on just to spite those who are spreading word of his demise.
All we know about Vic Toews leads us to one indisputable conclusion.
You bet he would.
