- 2. Stir in corn. Simmer, uncovered, for 3 minutes or until chicken juices run clear. Sprinkle cheese over chicken. Serve with sour cream. Yield: 2 servings.

3. In busy anchorages they are better for the ecosystem of the sea floor.
4. In busy anchorages they allow for more boats with less swing room. Imagine if those moorings suddenly changed over to anchors, there would be even less room available.
5. A well maintained mooring is safer than an anchor.
The cons of moorings so far:
1. Transients who prefer to anchor are sometimes inconvenienced. They may even have to contribute a few dollars to the local economy.
So, you've saved for years to afford to cruise a while, and find that you can just do it; if you don't have to spend a lot of money every day just to tie up for the night. After all, the ocean belongs to all of us, right?
Let's look at the alternatives to anchoring. IF I can find a slip near where I want to stop; $3.00 - $4.00 per foot, per night! (I don't earn that much in one day.) How about renting a mooring for the night,($35.00) ? Call on the radio, "harbor master, harbor master, harbor master" any moorings available? "Sorry, all the rental moorings are taken. The rest are privately owned." Happened to us several times.
Anchoring is free. We will spend our available money anyway in the local economy, at stores, museums, food and entertainment.
For those thinking of cruising the same areas; I suggest you invest in good anchors and lots of chain.

text: Formula One: Doubts linger over Raikkonen injury on Oct 3, 2013 @ 12:39 PMFerrari-bound Kimi Raikkonen gave little away Thursday about the state of his bad back, likely to fuel speculation ahead of the Korean Grand Prix that he is struggling with the injury.The famously terse Lotus driver raced to third two weeks ago under the lights in Singapore, but there had been concerns beforehand that he might not even make the race because of the long-standing injury. The former world champion, 33, suffered the injury in a testing crash in 2001."I wouldn't be here if I wouldn't be racing," he told reporters at the Yeongam circuit. "It would be a bit pointless to come here if I didn't think that I would race."Obviously tomorrow we'll see. Right now it's OK. It's always difficult to say until you drive, but I think it should be fine."Once we try it tomorrow, I'll know more. Like I said already at the last race, this wasn't the first time and I'm sure it won't be the last time."It's something that I've been dealing with for a long time."The Finn, who has slipped to fourth in the world championship with six races left, said in Singapore that he was effectively racing for free because he had not been given his full salary from Lotus.The team later admitted a "cash flow" meant they were behind in their payments.Raikkonen refused Thursday to say if he had now got all his money, and also dismissed talk about his high-profile move to Ferrari next year."Not really, I don't need to comment on those things. People try to write a lot of things about it," he said, asked if he had received his money.And asked if Ferrari would be able to close the gap on the rampaging Red Bulls next season, he said: "I don't know. I'll try to finish this year and then see what happens."Practice for the Korean Grand Prix begins Friday.pst/jah

TO ALL YOUNG MEN THAT LOVE. by Robert Herrick I COULD wish you all who love, That ye could your thoughts remove From your mistresses, and be Wisely wanton, like to me. I could wish you dispossessed Of that fiend that mars your rest, And with tapers comes to fright Your weak senses in the night. I could wish you all who fry Cold as ice, or cool as I ; But if flames best like ye, then, Much good do 't ye, gentlemen. I a merry heart will keep, While you wring your hands and weep.

Housemade garlic ranch dressing is better than the bottled stuff. This creamy dressing is super simple to make and doesn't contain "modified food starch" or "artificial flavors," it's all natural. Drizzle your garlic ranch dressing over your salad, use it as a dipping sauce for your chicken fingers, or spread it on bread for your sandwich.
3/4 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup buttermilk
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
3/4 teaspoon onion powder
1 garlic clove finely chopped
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon lemon juice
Salt to taste
Freshly-ground black pepper to taste

Ultra Hate
IN THE CONSTANTLY evolving landscape of downtown San Jose, yet more changes are in the works. The spot that used to be Katie Bloom's has finally found a new tenant, Tandoori 3 Restaurant, which, gauging by the blueprints, looks to be pretty slick.
On another front, just in time for summer, the proprietors of Mission Ale House are set to open a new retro-tiki bar called Smoke in the old Kleidon's building at Post and San Pedro. On one hand, they're destroying the dive bar history of the placebefore Kleidon's, it was Cat's Alley, the Dugout, a dive hotel, a liquor store and a few card rooms dating back to the 1930s. The joint promises to be a unique place with hand-carved tiki statues, a full-blown patio outside and drinks served in pineapples, just like the Tonga Room in San Francisco, but hopefully not as cheesy. And, best of all, they claim it will not be another ridiculous "ultra lounge."
Speaking of "ultra lounges," one of these nauseating establishments just happens to pick and choose who they admit to the club under the guise of saying you must wear a "collared shirt" to get in. Yes, that's what the chaps at the front door said after refusing me admittance. Did it matter that half of the folks inside the place weren't wearing collared shirts? Or course not. I understand that an upscale place would enforce a dress code to filter out the riff raff, but a "collared shirt?" I mean, doesn't every shirt have a collar? That's where your freakin' neck goes through, doesn't it?
To be honest, these places are a scab on downtown San Jose and they only add to the class war that's already going on among the clubs. You have the dive bars, the counterculture folks, the live music venuesthe unique placesbutting heads against the current infestation of shiny homogeneous lounges. So I have something to suggest to potential owners of any new said "ultra lounge" that won't let me in. In my 17 years of experience living and/or hanging out downtown, I can say this: If there exists a mass clientele who desire an "ultra lounge," they'll go to the Vault. It's a classy place that's already there. They beat you guys to the whole idea, you freakin' nincompoops. Give it up! Get lost!
And then you have the SoFA district. What was once home to the rockingest scene in all of the South Baybefore high rents and property owners with different agendas destroyed it allwill now feature a new club where F/X, the Usual and Spy used to be. What's the venue going to be next? You guessed it: An ultra lounge. Ugh.
In the circles of club owners who build these plastic dungeons, you always hear horrendous marketing strategies like, "We're going to bring a little bit of L.A. and South Beach to San Jose." Well, guess what, pal? A significant portion of downtown folks hate L.A. and South Beach. If transparent pseudo-hipster meatheads want to pay seven bucks for a Heineken, they should move to the Sunset Strip or Miami and do it. Such a ludicrous attitude is antithetical to everything downtown San Jose should aspire to be.
As always, I don't speak for everyone, but I remember the time when the alternative music scene single-handedly led to the next phase of downtown revitalization and nobody anywhere cared about multistory dance clubs, thumping disco atrocities, fake boobs and ultra lounges.
Maybe I'm just old and jaded and I can't accept the changing times. That's a fair criticism. Touché. But when this particular ultra lounge wouldn't let me in over a "collared shirt" fantasy, it just spoke volumes. HeyI was hanging out downtown before most of these cologne-soaked clods could spell the words "ultra lounge."
In fact, these pseudo-upscale dumps should really be called Über Lounges, as many local bartenders have put it. Zieg Heil!

The Singer Building at Liberty Street and Broadway in Manhattan, New York, was an office building completed in 1908 as the headquarters of the Singer Manufacturing Company. The building's architect, Ernest Flagg, was a supporter of height limitations and restrictive zoning, and showed his solution to tall-building crowding with the Singer's set-back design. The 12-story base of the building filled an entire blockfront, while the tower above was relatively narrow. |

| TheWarpath.net Interviews Matt Bowen (part 2) Here is part 2 of our two part interview with former safety Matt Bowen Players 1. In the past week we've heard 2 prominent, starting players kind of 'call out management' by saying the problems start with ownership and we don't have the right personnel. When players start to speak out like this, does it resonate with management where they will start to take heed and reassess things? Whenever players start to call out the front office, there is obviously and issue inside the facility. The players see a front office that is not meeting the demands of the locker room...and it usually signals a season that is in trouble. 2. What makes a good locker room leader? I have felt that a good locker room leader is a true pro: studies the game, is prepared both mentally and physically, plays hurt, and doesn't just do it with fake words--they get it done on Sundays no matter what the circumstance is. For the Skins, those leaders are being tested right now with all of the adversity surrounding that team. They have to keep the players together and get some wins. 3. Our 2nd year receivers are still struggling, while other young receivers around the league seem to be shining. It appears that they are lacking in some basic fundamentals-route running, getting separation-what is your assessment of Kelly, Davis and Thomas at this point. And can you talk about the role of a position coach. It appears that they would teach fundamentals, but shouldn't an NFL player know these fundamentals already? Thomas and Kelly have been a disappointment, and that does fall some on the coaches, but it also shows signs that they haven't matured enough to grasp the pro game. There is a lot more than Sundays. You have to prepare for 16 weeks of game action, and from what I see, they don't get it yet. If they were drafted on the second day, they would probably have been cut, or on the verge of getting released. Their draft spot is protecting them right now, but even that runs out when you don't see production. 4. Are the Redskins misusing Brian Orakpo playing him at SAM? I think Orakpo is a talent, but he is too undersized to play DE on first and second downs. It will take time, but he will develop into a solid Sam Backer in this league. 5. Is Laron Landry better suited to play FS or SS? like Landry at FS because of his range. He may be more involved at the SS position, but he will make more plays at FS and also prevent the big play. That is huge at this level. In my opinion, he is one of the better safeties in the league. Big talent. 6. Do players in the secondary, either from a corner's or safety's perspective, prefer to play off WRs and give a cushion? Or do you find that players prefer to play up to the line? We notice Blache's corners playing off receivers quite often and many fans get frustrated because it seemingly allows WRs a clean release and an opportunity to gain four yards or so before initial contact. Perhaps you can speak to the advantages of playing off? There are advantages to playing press and off-man, just as there are disadvantages. It all depends on the scheme. If the scheme asks you to play off, then you do. If it calls for press, then you press. The Skins have corners with talent to do both. But, off-man is hard at this level. Bowen's playing days 1. What was your "Welcome to the NFL" moment? My welcome to the NFL moment was training camp as a rookie in St. Louis. We had joint practices with the Titans, and Eddie George physically welcomed me during an inside run drill. I don't think he broke stride as he ran over me in the hole. I knew I wasn;t in college anymore after that. 2. Can you talk a little bit about playing for Steve Spurrier and Joe Gibbs. What were their styles? I loved playing for both Steve and Joe. Both, obviously had different styles. Gibbs was more business like than Steve, but I really enjoyed Spurrier. It was an honor to play for Gibbs, but I didn't like seeing Spurrier leave. I was a big fan of him, and I thought he truly cared about his players in a league that is all business. 3. A former player indicated recently that Snyder treated players one way when they won and another way when they lost. Can you talk a little bit about what it was like to play under Snyder? Dan is great. He is sometimes too passionate about this team, but he treated the players with respect, and how can you not like a guy who pays you to play football? He gets a bad rap, and maybe he can do some things different in terms of putting this team together, but he is a good man. 4. You played in a major market with a high-profile owner in Washington than wrapped up your career in almost the complete opposite scenario in Buffalo. How was it different as a player? Loved the media attention of Washington, and the NFC East in general, but Buffalo is a great town also. One thing about the NFL, no matter where you play, you are the center of attention. DC is a great spot. 5. Can you tell us a little bit about what Sean Taylor was like as a teammate? Sean Taylor was one of the best pure football players I ever saw, and one of the biggest playmakers in the game. It was a tragedy and I loved playing with the guy. Someone you could always count on to come out and play on Sundays. 6. Who were your favorite teammates in your NFL career (including with the Redskins)? I played with a lot of great guys and great players. Favre, Marshall Faulk, Kurt Warner, etc... lots of great, great players. In DC, I loved sharing a huddle with LaVar Arrington and Marcus Washington. Those guys made the game fun. Marcus would recite lines from "Old School" in the huddle on game days... classic. 7. If you had one play or moment from your NFL career that you could play in a continual loop in heaven, what would it be? One play, well, one game for sure... the 4th quarter comeback down in Texas Stadium when Mark hit Santana on those two TDs. Favorite game of all time. As for a play, I picked off Tom Brady when I was a Packer. Yes, the ball was tipped, but I don't have to tell anyone that, right?

| Re: TheWarpath.net Interviews Matt Bowen (part 2) nice work. Thanks! I also found the wr comments interesting, but his Lavar & MW comment also points out something this team lacks - charisma & enthusiasm. MW was an energizing player & a leader. Say what you will about Lavar, for all his freelancing, he still made big plays & gave the game some excitement. |

| Re: TheWarpath.net Interviews Matt Bowen (part 2) I love pecan pie. Interesting that he believes the Orakpo to LB is the right move when most of us here disagree with it. He does have a point, we need to be patient. 'Rak is an extremely talented player and should make the transition successfully.

| Re: TheWarpath.net Interviews Matt Bowen (part 2) Pecan pie doesnt do any thing for me. Chocolate pudding pie with an oreo crust and cool whip topping. The Kelly and Thomas comments didnt see that coming but I gues will see next year with a new coach good article.

About battery cycles
Use of your Mac notebook battery accrues in the form of charge cycles. A charge cycle means using all of the battery's power, but that doesn't necessarily mean a single charge. For instance, you could use your notebook for an hour or more one day, using half its charge, and then recharge it fully. If you did the same thing the next day, it would count as one charge cycle, not two, so it may take several days to complete a cycle.
Batteries have a limited amount of charge cycles before they are considered to be consumed. Once consumed, a replacement battery is recommended. You can use your battery after it reaches its maximum cycle count, but you may notice a reduction in your battery life. Knowing how many charge cycles are on your battery and how many are left can help you determine when a battery replacement is required. For optimal performance, replace your battery when you reach the maximum cycle count.
Follow these steps to access information about your Mac notebook battery including the cycle count:
- Your first step will vary depending on which version of Mac OS X you are using:
- OS X Snow Leopard v10.6.8 or earlier: Open Apple System Profiler by choosing "About this Mac" from the Apple () menu. Then, click More Info.
- OS X Lion v10.7 or later: Open System Information by choosing "About this Mac" from the Apple () menu. Click System Report.
- Click Power in the Contents list (under the Hardware section as shown below).
- The current cycle count is listed under the Battery Information section.
The above example shows System Report and a battery with six cycles on it.
Identify your computer
Cycle count limit will vary based on your Apple computer. For assistance identifying your Mac notebook, use the Tech Specs page or the linked articles below for assistance.
Cycle count limits
See the table below to see the cycle count limit for your computer's battery. The battery is considered consumed once it reaches the limit.

SF on TV | |
In January, Dollhouse ends, Heroes, Fringe,
and Smallville return. Since Dollhouse is ending,
the writers are free to send it out with a bang. Smallville, on the
other hand, would be ending with a whimper -- except it's not ending. As for Heroes,
not many people are watching, but I like it, and it is the best-selling tv series on BluRay, so
it may be around for quite a while, in one medium or another. When the next episode will
air, following January 11, has not been announced.
Saturday, January 2
Monday, January 4
Friday, January 8
Monday, January 11
Thursday, January 14
Friday, January 15
Friday, January 22
Friday, January 29
Defying Gravity, the excellent sf show nobody watched, comes to DVD
on January 19, with never-aired episodes. Lost returns in
February. FlashForward won't be back until March, to give the writers time
to figure out where all the viewers went. Stargate Universe returns in April.

This place makes it clear that they don't have dedicated gluten space, and that's ok for us as we have gluten sensitivities in our family, not celiac--but they claim they have gluten free rolls and breads as alternative options. I confirmed this with the waitress when we sat down--she said yes. Then I ordered a burger and she said they only have sandwich bread, not rolls. And it's an extra $2.50 charge! Who puts a burger on sandwich bread?? Even the "pre-dinner bread" was cut up slices of sandwich bread. She seemed confused at best. No gf options on kids menu at all. We would not come back, especially with the other local gf options that are here to choose from. Go down the road to Food For Thought. You'll be happier!
Excellent gluten free menu. There were so many choices. Awesome service. We came for late lunch and it was nice and quiet. Went again and it was ok second time.
Fantastic food and service! Our waiter John made wonderful suggestions and was very attentive. They had a full GF menu and I was excited to see more than just salads! I had the salmon which was moist and delicious! Highly recommend!
Thay do have a nice GF menue. I had salmon, sweet potato razoto, vary good. But the waitress tryed to serve me wheat rolls and didn't have GF rolls. She had limited training on GF.
Extensive gluten free menu and the best gluten free hamburger bun I've ever tasted!

Gretings to All!
This morning on the radio there has been a discussion of the upcming movie entitled "Buffalo Soldier" starring Joaquin Phoenix. The radio host (activist) is urging everyone to protest this movie for the way the name "Buffalo Soldier" is linked to a negative movie. I read reviews on line and the tag line of the movie is "Steal All You Can Steal." The basic story is about an Army clerk who runs a sideline in black market heroin and arms dealing. I could find nothing that links the movie to Buffalo Soldiers-so why are they using a term that has been historically associated with African Americans to describe a movie about Army corruption? I wanted to pass this info on!! I want to write a letter protest but I'm not sure where to direct my protest. Does anyone have any suggestions? The radio host may have given an address but I was in and out of the car and I may have missed it.

More than a month after Grambling fired Doug Williams, interim coach George Ragsdale finally admitted publicly that the coaching change has had a major effect on the Tigers' season.
It's not exactly earth-shattering news, but it gives some context as to why Grambling is headed for one of its worst seasons in school history.
When asked Monday what the major reason for the 0-7 start to the season was, Ragsdale responded with "the change we made" and compared it to a child going through a divorce. ...

Wish You Were Here by Leslie Simon - Music
A snarky, fact-filled look at the people and places that made the indie/punk scene what it is today
The American underground music scene is exploding everywhere â not just in New York City and L.A. (although we've got those cities covered too!):
In Washington, D.C. . . . Ian MacKaye and Fugazi inspired the straightedge culture, which had kids everywhere drawing black X's on their hands in magic marker.
In Omaha, Nebraska . . . A young Conor Oberst, aka Bright Eyes, started writing and performing gut-wrenching love songs at the tender age of thirteen.
On Long Island, New York . . . Taking Back Sunday and Brand New battled for emo supremacy and the fragile hearts of a million teenage girls.
From the coauthor of the cult-worthy Everybody Hurts: An Essential Guide to Emo Culture comes Wish You Were Here â a combination travel guide and tortured history covering everything from what constitutes proper rock critic etiquette in Minneapolis to why pop-punk bands in Chicago have so much suburban angst, to how freegans in the Bay Area can feed themselves on a budget that would make frugal Rachael Ray's face blush.

Erico Verissimo
Erico Verissimo | |
Born | Cruz Alta |
December 17, 1905
Died | November 28, 1975 Porto Alegre |
(aged 69)
Occupation | novelist, short story writer |
Nationality | Brazilian |
Period | 1933-1975 |
Literary movement | Modernist |
Children | Luís Fernando Veríssimo |
Erico Verissimo[1] (December 17, 1905 – November 28, 1975) was an important Brazilian writer, born in the State of Rio Grande do Sul. His father, Sebastião Veríssimo da Fonseca, heir of a rich family in Cruz Alta, Rio Grande do Sul, met financial ruin during his son's youth. Veríssimo worked in a pharmacy before obtaining a job at Editora Globo, a book publisher, where he translated and released works of writers like Aldous Huxley. During the Second World War, he went to the United States. This period of his life was recorded in some of his books, including: Gato Preto em Campo de Neve ("Black Cat in a Snow Field"), A Volta do Gato Preto ("The Return of the Black Cat"), and História da Literatura Brasileira ("History of Brazilian Literature"), which contains some of his lectures at UCLA. His epic O Tempo e o Vento ("The Time and the Wind'") became one of the great masterpieces of the Brazilian novel, alongside Os Sertões by Euclides da Cunha, and Grande Sertão: Veredas by Guimarães Rosa.
Four of Veríssimo's works, Time and the Wind, Night, Mexico, and His Excellency, the Ambassador, were translated into the English language by Linton Lomas Barrett.
He was the father of another famous writer of Rio Grande do Sul, Luis Fernando Veríssimo.
Érico Veríssimo was the son of Sebastião Veríssimo da Fonseca and Abegahy Lopes Veríssimo. He was born into a wealthy family that went bankrupt, and consequentially didn't manage to complete secondary school because of the need to work.
Veríssimo settled in Cruz Alta as the owner of a drugstore, but was unsuccessful. He then moved to Porto Alegre in 1930, willing to live solely by selling his writing. There he began to live around writers of renown, such as Mário Quintana, Augusto Meyer, Guilhermino César and others. In the following year, he was hired to occupy the position of secretary of edition of the Revista do Globo, of which he would become editor in 1933. He then undertook the whole editorial project at Editora Globo, propelling its nationwide fame.
He published his first work, Fantoches ("Puppets"), in 1932, with a sequence of short stories, mostly in the form of short plays. The following year, he saw his first great success with the romance Clarissa.
Veríssimo married in 1931 to Mafalda Volpe and had two children, Luis Fernando Veríssimo, also a writer, and Clarissa.
In 1943 he moved with his family to the United States, where he gave lessons on Brazilian Literature in the University of Berkeley, until 1945. Between 1953 and 1956 he was director of the Department of Cultural Affairs of the Organization of American States, in Washington, D.C.. From these trips and from the stay in the US, two books originated: Gato Preto em Campo de Neve ("Black Cat in a Snow Field") in 1941, and A Volta do Gato Preto ("The Return of the Black Cat") in 1947.
His historical trilogy O Tempo e o Vento ("The Time and the Wind") is considered as his greatest work, written in the period of 1949-1961, from which arose primordial characters such as Ana Terra and Capitão Rodrigo that went on to become popular amongst his readers.
In 1965 Veríssimo published the romance O Senhor Embaixador ("His Excellency, the Ambassador"), in which he reflected upon the deviations of Latin America.
In the romance Incidente em Antares ("Incident in Antares"), written in 1971, he traces a parallel with Brazilian politics with the use of fantasy, with the rebellion of corpses during a strike of the gravekeepers, in the fictitious city of Antares.
After suffering from a heart attack in 1975, Veríssimo was unable to complete the second volume of his autobiography entitled Solo de Clarineta ("Clarinet Solo"), which was intended to be a trilogy, apart from a romance which would be entitled A Hora do Sétimo Anjo ("The Hour of the Seventh Angel").
His works have been compiled in three different occasions:
- Obras de Erico Verissimo ("Works of Érico Veríssimo") – 1956 (17 volumes)
- Obras completas ("Complete Works") – 1961 (10 volumes)
- Ficção completa ("Complete Fiction")– 1966 (5 volumes)
Érico Veríssimo's books have been translated to German, Spanish, Finnish, French, Dutch, Hungarian, Indonesian, English, Italian, Japanese, Norwegian, Romanian, Russian and Czech.

Being a Capricorn of course I had to try this, because of the mixture sounded interesting. I love it, it's very good. At first I was afraid because of the coconut but it all fits well together. Now I'm going to try a few more signs …

AirPlay + room correction on Linux
Hi all, over the last couple weeks I've been putting together a music system based on the idea of doing AirPlay + room correction for listening to music in my apartment. I'm still digging through the wisdom in these forums but I think it's far enough along that the configuration might be interesting to some people here. Essentially I've got a Linux netbook with a M-Audio USB audio interface on my network running Shairport (AirPlay emulation) + Brutefir (room correction). All of this goes through an amp to a pair of Infinity RS-IIIbs and the result sounds pretty good to my ears.
End result: From an iPhone or iTunes you can play music over the network and it comes out of the speakers room corrected and sounding nice. I've put the configs online in case they are useful to someone else: https://github.com/choongng/Music-Box In the meantime if anyone else has set up a similar system I'd be interested in hearing how it works and what hardware you used. |

Can you give some details on specs of your computer and amount of processor load you see on it while running brutefir?
I'm hoping to try brutefir on a ARM based board but not sure how well it will take the processor intensive tasks. Boards that I am interested in are beagle bone (I have one of these already) and raspberry pi. |

It's a little 2-core Atom Samsung netbook ("Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU N570 @ 1.66GHz"). CPU usage is pretty low, top reports 96-98% idle. I'm not sure what that would translate to on another CPU as Brutefir looks like it's using SSE on x86. I'm not sure to what extent you can get Brutefir to use NEON (from a quick search it looks like fftw supports it) but you could probably get it to work. For little ARM boxes you might also look at TP-Link (Welcome to TP-LINK), those are cheap and will run OpenWRT. Shairport uses about as much CPU as Brutefir.

Honestly, that CPU looks so idle as if no DRC was underway. These figures would suggest the 400MHz TPLinks could perhaps handle the load which so far seemed impossible to me. Please could you profile your running processes a bit - brutefir CPU load, etc. Thanks a lot for sharing your configs on github, great help for others.

Here's top output. I would be very interested in how this stuff runs on ARM as that would simplify the setup quite a bit and on cheaper hardware.

I'll test later this week on 700MHz (TI AM3358 ARM Cortex-A8) beaglebone.
To start with I'll just try to replicate choongng's configuration as closely as possible and see how it goes. Will be back in a few days with success/failure/questions! My first question is to confirm my understanding of the role of the DRC software, it just creates the filters that are implemented by brutefir correct? So if I can get playback software and jack and brutefir running then test performance we're set? Shairport is an optional extra imo, may test it later, in my final system I will probably use mpd to achieve similar outcome. Does anyone have any benchmarking suggestions or req that may be quicker to implement and get running? I guess nothing will beat just running it. |

Correct, DRC is only needed to generate the filters and could be run on another machine. If you're using USB audio you could probably do the whole filter generation process on a PC and just copy the resulting filters over. For the purposes of testing performance you can run Brutefir against audio in a file and skip the ALSA + JACK configuration work.

I also use Brutefir for active xover & drc... So your thread is really interesting :-) My music sources are analog sound card input and also mpd for my NAS music library. I connect the sources onto Brutefir by using JACK: Code:

I have succesfully tested shairport over an ALSA sound card. But I dont know how to send the shairport audio onto JACK in order to be processed into Brutefir as per my "JACK+Brutefir Box" configuration. Any help please? Thx |

Hi again,
I have found the solution because it was well documented into https://github.com/choongng/Music-Bo...aster/asoundrc So, my PC based xover+drc is now serving as an Airport Express to my iPad/IPhone. These are the figures: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3500+ 1Gb RAM Gentoo jackd 1.9.7 Brutefir running 6 x 64Ktap (2 drc + 4 two way xover) shairport ~57% CPU load Other system that I have built is: MiniITX ATOM Intel D525MW RAM 2GB Fanless Debian Echoaudio Gina3G sound card jackd 1.9.8 Brutefir running 10 x 64Ktap (2 subsonic + 2 drc + 6 three way xover) ~28% CPU load |

Brute FIR on Beaglebone
Just found this thread .. very interesting.
Did anyone run BruteFIR on beaglebone .. I would be interested how much it consumes. I know that the use of Neon instruction set can bring a lot - we have recently brought down the CPU consumption for a resample algorithm from appr. 30-40% down to 5% ! Did anybody try on Beaglebone ? cu thomas |

Boise Police Arrest Bicyclist After Finding Drugs
Boise, Idaho ( KMVT-TV / KTWT-TV ) - Boise Police have arrested a resident on drug charges after he was spotted riding a bicycle without the required reflector or light. At about 1:50 am early this Friday morning, a Boise Police officer patrolling near Five Mile and West McMillan Road, spotted a bicycle rider northbound without a rear reflector or headlight. The officer stopped the cyclist about the equipment violation.
The man initially identified himself with a name that turned out false. When police searched a bag he was carrying officers found a powder that turned out to be Methamphetamine. The officer also found several hypodermic needles, a plastic bag of marijuana and additional drug paraphernalia. When the man was taken to the jail, his real name was confirmed. Turns out he had three outstanding warrants for his arrest. Police identified the suspect as Russell Carl Patterson, 51 of Boise. He was charged with possession of a controlled substance-Meth, possession of marijuana, providing false information to police, a bicycle equipment violation in addition to his 2 warrant parole violations and failure to appear warrant. |

The online play is pretty standard, allowing 16 players to do battle across a wide variety of maps, while playing several types of games. My favorite is called Search and Destroy (seeing a pattern?), in which one team must defend key points from their bomb wielding opponents. Unlike many assault-type games, there are two points instead of one, so your team must keep moving from one point to the other, lest they lose one of the points. The maps are well designed, with most of them taken directly from the single player game, offering an interesting mix of locales, from a bombed out city to dark, labrynthine sewers. It's not as good as the PC game, but then again, what is?
GoldenEye: Rogue Agent
Another game that had the crushing weight of expectation on its shoulders was this one, which shared its name with the Nintendo 64 shooter that redefined console shooters in the 90s. While the game has received mostly lukewarm reviews, most critics agree that the best part of the affair comes when you take your game online, doing battle with up to 8 eight players over Live. There are over 20 maps at your disposal, and you have a dizzying array of options to tweak and change until you have the exact game you want to play.
If, at any point, you get sick of simply killing your foes with guns and grenades, you can utilize some of the environmental death traps that can be found on most of the levels. These add quite a bit of strategy to the proceedings, as you must decide whether it makes more sense to lay in wait or go after your enemies. Though you might be able to crush them under a huge piston or open a trap door beneath them, dropping them to their deaths, there's also a greater chance of them getting the drop on you before you can do your worst. While it seems like a gimmicky gameplay addition, there is actually quite a bit of strategy involved, and the variety of deathtraps will keep everything feeling fresh.
OK, so there's a good chance that none of these games will knock Halo 2 off of its lofty perch anytime soon, but they deserve your attention just as much as the next game. There are plenty of other great online enabled shooters out there, too, games like Rainbow Six 3: Black Arrow, TRON 2.0: Killer App, and Star Wars Battlefront, ensuring that gamers will have more than a few chances to blow away their buddies this holiday season.
[My So-Called Live is written by Will Tuttle, whose itchy trigger finger has gotten him in trouble on more than one occasion.]

Birdie Tebbetts had a long and successful career as a back-up catcher from 1936 through 1952, missing just a few years in the middle for World War II, but the reason he is an All-Time Indian is for his second career that started in 1954. The Indians did buy his contract for his final two seasons, where he put up the limited offensive statistics listed above. After retiring from his playing career, Tebbetts joined the Cincinnati Redlegs in 1954 as manager, where he stayed through 1958, accumulating a record of 372-357.
In 1963, Tebbetts took over the helm for the Cleveland Indians. The team had been struggling since their last trip to the World Series in 1954, finishing fourth or worse in the American League for three straight years. In the six years prior to Tebbetts taking over, the Tribe won 80 or more games just twice and finished above .500 in just 1957 and 1958. Frank Lane did his best to ruin the team during these years, including trading the Indians most beloved player in history, Rocky Colavito, to the Tigers for AL batting champion Harvey Kuenn. It was an unenviable situation and many had failed already when trying to take over. From when Al Lopez left the team in 1956 until Tebbetts took over in 1963, the Indians used seven different managers, the most successful being Hall of Fame second baseman, Joe Gordon (184-151).
Mel Harder started the 1962 season as manager and Mel McGaha replaced him, but neither would remain through 1963. Tebbetts was then brought in to start that season, but finished 79-83 in sixth place and was fired at the end of the season. George Strickland was brought in at the beginning of 1964, but there is only so much a manager can do without a good team and after a 33-39 start, he was replaced with Tebbetts who finished the year. He was able to turn things around and finished the season 46-44, giving the Indians an identical 79-83 overall record.
Confidence restored, Tebbetts finally got the season he had been working towards his whole managerial career. It took awhile to revamp the starting rotation after the greatness of the early 1950's, but in 1965 the young pitchers were finally ready. Sam McDowell, Sonny Seibert and Luis Tiant lead the way with 47 wins between the them as the Indians ran to their best record since 1959 of 87-75. This still ended up in a fifth place finish out of the ten team American League, but there was a lot of promise for the future.
Of course, baseball is about more than pitching and in from the time of Al Rosen (the 1950's) until the time of Andre Thornton (1970's), the Indians didn't have one. The team regressed, even with break out seasons from Seibert and Steve Hargan. Despite a winning record (66-57), Tebbetts was fired mid-season and Strickland was brought in again to finish out the season. Showing he was a much better first baseman than a manager, Strickland finished the season with a .500 record in fifth place, blowing Tebbetts nine games above .500.
Tebbetts career ended after that season, but with just 11 Indians managers who have ran the team for more than 500 games, he is should immediately be considered in the top ten as he finished with a record above .500. Of the ten Indians managers to have been in more games than Tebbetts, three had losing records (Eric Wedge, Pat Corrales and Al Dark) and four were Hall of Famers (Lou Boudreau, Tris Speaker, Lopez and Nap LaJoie), so there is a wide disparity, but Tebbetts fits right in the middle. He finished with a record well above .500, but never sniffed the play-offs. Of course, not many Indians managers (just six) have, so being as successful as he was during a decade of rebuilding is extremely impressive.
After retiring, Tebbetts moved to Florida, where he lived until his death in 1999 at the age of 86. While he may not be remembered by many, Tebbetts was an important part of the Tribe during a very dismal time and is among the greatest managers in team history.

For more than 200 years, Scotland's scientific discoveries have served as some of the most critical stepping stones for the advancement of modern medicine. From the introduction of anesthesia and the discovery of penicillin, to the development of MRI and CAT scanners and the identification of the p53 tumor suppressor gene, to the more recent development of the first bionic hand, Scotland maintains a distinct ability to foster innovation and inspire scientific discovery.
In taking stock of Scotland's life science sector today, it is clear the country's openness to scientific discovery is still very much alive and well, particularly in the field of stem cells and regenerative medicine. Scotland is one of Europe's largest and most highly regarded stem cell and translational research locations, adding its share to the more than $4.5 billion that life sciences contribute to the Scottish economy annually. It is home to academic institutions renowned for their stem cell leadership, such as The University of Edinburgh's MRC Centre for Regenerative Medicine and The Anne Rowling Regenerative Neurology Clinic, as well as a burgeoning cluster of cell-based technology and manufacturing companies' including Roslin Cells, Cellartis, and Angel Biotechnology.
Building on the discoveries that produced the first cloned mammal, Dolly the sheep, in 1996, technology has evolved rapidly and investment in talent and infrastructure continues to grow.
By supporting stem cell companies and both embryonic and adult stem cell academic research including induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS), Scotland offers a vibrant commercial supply chain working alongside global life science corporations such as EMD Millipore, Charles River Laboratories, and Life Technologies.
At the heart of Scotland's life sciences and regenerative medicine community is the Edinburgh BioQuarter, a $1.2 billion 100-acre public/private site that brings together three leading research institutes, a teaching hospital, and a bioincubator building. In November 2011, the Scottish Centre for Regenerative Medicine's (SCRM) new state-of-the-art facility will open with more than 200 scientists and clinicians researching stem cell therapeutics and technologies for conditions such as MS, stroke, heart disease, and diabetes.
Scotland saw the fruits of its stem cell research and clinical testing expertise come to bear after Glasgow was chosen as the location for the U.K.'s first-in-human stem cell trial—ReNeuron's ReN0001, a stem cell therapy for stroke. Scotland's ability to manufacture high-quality GMP-grade stem cell product proved especially attractive to ReNeuron, and Scottish company Angel Biotechnology is manufacturing and validating the cell lines for the Glasgow trial.
"As a global leader in regenerative medicine as well as basic, applied, and clinical research and medical technology, Scotland's strengths can be attributed not only to its scientific expertise and heritage, but also the willingness of public, private, and academic communities to innovate life sciences together," said Rhona Allison, senior director, Life Sciences, Scottish Enterprise, which, along with Scottish Development International, supports the growth of Scotland's businesses and economy, as well as new investment into Scotland.
For example, a team of scientists led by the University of Edinburgh's Sir Ian Wilmut and Professor Siddharthan Chandran are studying potential cell-replacement therapies for motor neuron disease (MND), an incredibly debilitating and deadly condition with no cure or effective treatment. In partnership with King's College London and Columbia University in New York, scientists at the MRC Centre for Regenerative Medicine are growing nerve cells that can cause MND in order to study the biology of the disease and screen potential drugs.
Finally, as an example of Scotland's broad-based approach to regenerative medicine, Scotlands' National Blood Transfusion Service is heading up a $4.5 million project to generate GMP-grade red blood cells from human embryonic stem cells, with the hopes these manufactured blood cells will meet the growing need for healthy blood for transfusions.
Clearly, a new century of discovery and progress is under way in Scotland, building on a scientific tradition—centuries in the making—where collaboration and innovation are both valued and thriving.

It just goes to show that we don't even need to talk about our day. Just having a devoted pet nearby makes a huge difference.

I think this is true. Baxter definitely has a guilty face when he has chewed on something he's not supposed to. He can tell when something is wrong with me too. I was sick from heatstroke and stayed home from work one day over the summer and if he wasn't curled up on top of me, he was withing a 5 foot radius all day. Even when i'm not sick, every time I sneeze or cough he comes and finds me and jumps up like "are you ok?"

Skitters will pout when I leave if she sees me come out of my bedroom with my purse or my small backpack for volunteering down at the local humane society cause since I'm diabeteic I have to take stuff to take care of that. But if she sees those she knows that I am leaving and she can't go with me so she starts pouting I can't even turn my cell phone on until I am out of the drive way and at the end of my block otherwise Skitters hears the phone turn on and she goes crazy. When I get home Skitters my dog and my cats Teddy and Shorty go nuts and are so happy that I am home. My grandma's goldfish and kio fish outside in her pond acually get excited to see her when she gets home they swim all over come to the surface to greet her. Any pet can show this type of love and excitment.
