Recent reviews:
January 30, 2015 - Just received the Amazonite necklace and I am disappointed with it. The back of the pendant is unfinished and rough. There is a piece of metal protruding through and it catches on my skin and clothes. Also, the snake chain is very small and hard to clasp.
Customer Service response:February 27, 2015 - I am sorry to hear of the condition you received this item as it shouldn't be rough. Please contact customer service at your convenience as we'd be happy to take care of this for you.
December 13, 2014 - beautiful dainty and delicate
September 6, 2014 - I bought the blue necklace, and I loved it! It looks so pretty; the gemstone is really bright. Great purchase.
August 21, 2014 - Just got them today. Both both gemstones. I love them. Shipping super fast. I just found my favorite online store for gifts. Who doesn't love their fur babies.
July 18, 2014 - Very nice piece. I bought it for my daughter as a memorial after her cat passed away. I will definitely order from here again. Thank you

Facilities Fire Evacuation Plan
Submitted by William J. Donnell (inactive)
Emergency - Call Amherst College Police
(413) 542-2111
(Ambulance, Fire, Haz-Mat, Police)
January 2012
- Every Occupant in the Service Building must evacuate to the exterior of the building by way of the closest emergency exit door.
- The Director and/or manager of Facilities and/or their designee should proceed to the front of the building on East Drive to meet the Amherst Fire Department, Campus Police and the building custodian.
- Persons most familiar with the building and the current activities within are the most valuable resource, in case of actual fire.
- All Amherst College employees should encourage building occupants to evacuate the building in a safe and orderly fashion through the closest emergency exit.
- Preplanned areas to which employees can go during a fire alarm or actual fire emergency shall be established for reasons of accountability.
- Evacuees, except for those persons meeting with the Amherst Fire Department at the front entrance should not obstruct emergency vehicle or firefighter access.
- Evacuation points referenced above should be located on the opposite side of the sidewalks and fire lanes.
- During inclement weather, evacuation to the Orr Rink building should also be considered.
- As stipulated in the Amherst College Emergency Action Plan Policy, the building occupants should not re-enter the facility until the building fire alarm has been silenced and the fire department and/or the Amherst College Campus Police has authorized re-entry.
Fire – Reporting
The following procedures shall be followed when an Amherst College employee discovers a fire in a building, regardless of how large the fire is:
(1) Close the door to the room where the fire is. This will confine the fire to a smaller area.
- If the fire is small and you have been trained to use the fire extinguisher, you may attempt to extinguish it.
- If you have not been trained to use the fire extinguisher or the fire is too large to handle, EVACUATE the building.
- The fire alarm has been silenced, and
- The fire or police department has indicated that it is acceptable to re-enter.
(2) Activate the closest fire alarm system. Pull stations are usually located next to an exit or stairwell door
(3) Telephone 2111 to report the location of the fire. You or someone you designate must make the telephone call from a safe location as quickly as possible. Once you have given the dispatcher the information, wait until the dispatcher hangs up before you hang up because the dispatcher may need more information. The Amherst Fire Department through the Campus Police will know from your call that this is an active fire and not "burned food" or a malicious false alarm.
(4) Extinguish or Evacuate
(5) Do not re-enter the building, until:
It is the responsibility of the Administration for the Facilities Department to:
- require complete evacuation of the building during a fire alarm
- adopt an employee accountability system,
- identify person(s) responsible to meet with and assist the Amherst Fire Department and the Amherst College Campus Police at the front entrance, during a fire alarm or fire emergency.
- oversee and, when necessary make the appropriate changes to this policy and procedure to insure the safety and well being of the building occupants, and
- when appropriate, facilitate a fire drill at Alumni Gym in accordance with the requirements of the local, state and federal regulatory agencies.
- oversee and, when necessary make the appropriate changes to this policy and procedure to insure the safety and well being of the building occupants, and
Emergency Evacuation for the Disabled
The evacuation of the building during afire alarm is required, regardless of cause. In accordance with regulatory requirements and Amherst College Policies and Procedures, everyone shall evacuate a building in which a fire alarm is sounding. Fire alarms include, but are not limited to accidental alarm, false alarm or conditions caused by fire and/or smoke.

Ive been up there a bunch o times and havent seen where it might be, below beeks is a gate but thats blackstar and if you go north you hit sierra peak. Maybe its past Beeks somewhere? anyone know?
Sounds like you are pretty clued in on these trails.. but for those who are not sure where these trails are......here's the skinny..
Harding truck Trail
- Status - closed to
users. Fire road starts at the end of modjeska canyon road (near the bird sanctuary) and heads up into the Santa Anas where and eventually intersects the main divide and Maple springs road. This fire road was closed to vehicle traffic (inculding motorcycles) before the fires and will remain closed to vehicle traffic even after all the closures are lifted. This trail is normally open to bicyles, hikers and equestrian use but it took a beating during the fires and is not even open to foot traffic right now (even after most of the closures were lifted).
Santaigo Truck Trail
- Status - open to hikers, bicycles and equestrian use. This fire road is very popular with mountain bikers and was closed to vehicle and dual sport traffic prior to the fire and will remain that way. (The entrance is gated off and there is a motorcycle barrier a few miles up the fire road so even if you decide to poach this trail you will either be beaten into a pulp by mountain bikers or you will hit the barrier). This fire road starts at the top of modjeska grade and heads east south/east up towards saddleback peak about 6 or 7 miles where it eventually transitions into a single track trail (the joplin trail). This single track trail eventually connects to the main divide about 2 miles below Santiago Peak. Even if the joplin single track trail was open to motorcycles you would have to be a world class trials rider to ride it. It's very loose, rocky and narrow and is pretty challenging even on a mountain bike.
Blackstar Canyon Road -
Status: Open to hikers, bikers and horse traffic. Was closed to vehicle traffic prior to the fire and will remain that way. This is a fire road that starts at the end of the paved section of blackstar canyon road (which intersects Silverado Canyon Rd). Where the pavement ends and the fire road starts there is an industrial strength gate. No way in hell to get around it. Blackstar Canyon road (fire road) heads up hill towards Corona and intesects the main divide just north of Beeks Place. The intersection of Blackstar canyon road and the main divide is gated and locked (has been for years)

"The majority of adults [87 percent] are very likely to get vaccinated if their doctor or other clinician advises that they get vaccinated," she said. "Our hope is that clinicians throughout the care continuum will become increasingly aware of adult vaccinations, and will spread the word to their patients."

Last week in Washington, the Organization of American States (OAS) held an election for secretary general. As expected, incumbent José Miguel Insulza won reelection to a second five-year term.
In past years, OAS elections have been full of pomp and circumstance, with presidents and foreign ministers from across the region in attendance. This year, however, not a single president made the trip. There were only two foreign ministers present, one of whom, Alfredo Moreno of Chile, was obliged to be there because Insulza is a Chilean.
The utter lack of enthusiasm for the OAS election highlights the institution's growing irrelevance. While certain OAS bodies, such as the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, are functioning effectively and doing important work, the Permanent Council has failed to address systematic violations of human rights in countries such as Venezuela, Bolivia, Nicaragua, and Ecuador.
After Insulza was reelected, Moreno declared that the OAS boss has a responsibility to ensure that the institution is a robust defender of democracy throughout the hemisphere. But in his own remarks, Insulza did not inspire much confidence. He emphasized that the OAS "is not a police organization," and that "democratic reforms must come from the consent of the member states." In other words, don't expect Insulza to mount an aggressive campaign on behalf of Venezuelan freedom.
Speaking of which, the human rights situation in Hugo Chávez's Bolivarian Republic continues to get worse. Just last week, the president of Globovisión, the only opposition TV network still broadcasting, was temporarily detained and then prohibited from leaving Venezuela until the government finishes investigating him for criticizing Chávez at a recent Inter-American Press Association conference. The Venezuelan attorney general explained that Guillermo Zuloaga could potentially be charged with making "offensive or slanderous remarks" and "spreading false information."
Meanwhile, opposition politician (and onetime Chávez supporter) Wilmer Azuaje has been arrested on what appear to be trumped-up allegations. His real "crime," from the government's perspective, was asserting that members of the Chávez family are guilty of corruption. Standing outside a Venezuelan courthouse this past weekend, Azuaje told reporters that Chávez is "jailing political leaders to try to distract people's attention" from problems such as high inflation and energy shortages.
Indeed, as the OAS drifts further toward irrelevance, Venezuela drifts further toward full-scale Cubanization.

Hugo Chávez and his cronies must have been very happy with President Obama's first State of the Union address, which completely ignored the challenges to democracy in Latin America. Obama cited the brave Iranian activists who are fighting for freedom in the streets of Tehran, if only very briefly, but he failed to mention the tens of thousands of Venezuelans who have gathered in Caracas and other cities over the past week to protest against the failed policies of a dictatorship. The demonstrations in Venezuela are ongoing, yet Obama did not see fit to discuss them.
In recent days, Venezuela has been rocked by large demonstrations and political turmoil. The protests began on January 23, when Venezuelans poured into the streets of Caracas (the capital) to mark the 52nd anniversary of their democratic revolution and also to protest against the failed, dictatorial policies of Hugo Chávez, which have produced electricity and water rationing, the worst inflation rate in the region, a deteriorating public health system, crumbling infrastructure, and high crime levels. (On Chávez's watch, Caracas has become the most dangerous city in Latin America.)

Hanging day in old San Patricio
They came for her in a two-wheeled cart. She sat on a plank box made to be her coffin. The cart was pulled by yoked oxen and people of the town walked behind.
They went down to the river, a thousand yards from the courthouse, and the cart stopped under one of two spreading mesquite trees in a clearing by the river.
She wore a new white dress with blue trim. A woman in town had fixed her hair. She was smoking a corn-shuck cigarette. When a new hemp rope was placed around her neck, she showed no emotion, no fear. The people watched her, not talking.
It was Friday, Nov. 13, 1863, the execution date for Chipita Rodriguez in old San Patricio. She had been tried, sentenced, and the sentence was about to be carried out.
Chipita was a nickname believed derived from Josefa. She lived in a cabin by the road that went from San Patricio to Refugio near the Aransas River. Her cabin was a stopping place, a way station for travelers, a place where they could get a meal and sleep on the porch.
John Savage, a horse trader, a big man with a dark beard, was on his way to the border, perhaps to buy horses for the Confederacy. He was believed to have stayed at Chipita's on Sunday night, Aug. 23, 1863. He disappeared. Two house servants from the Welder ranch collecting firewood by the river found his body in a burlap bag. His head had been split open with an ax.
San Patricio Sheriff William "Pole" Means, investigating the murder, found traces of blood on Chipita's porch. She said it was chicken blood. Chipita and her hired man Juan Silvera were arrested; there was no jail so they were manacled to a wall in a small shed near the courthouse. Chipita would say nothing. Silvera told the sheriff he helped Chipita dump the body in the river. Not many people believed he knew anything; he was considered simple-minded.
The trial in the 14th District Court in the courthouse at San Patricio was quick. The judge was Benjamin F. Neal, who had been the first mayor of Corpus Christi. The conduct of the trial was irregular. Sheriff Means served on the grand jury that indicted Chipita. There was no jury panel so people were rounded up off the streets. Four members of the jury had been indicted for felonies, one for murder.
Owen Gaffney, chief justice of the county (county judge) was the jury foreman. He was also a friend of the sheriff's. Some members of the grand jury also served on the trial jury.
The motive for the killing was supposed to be robbery but the horse trader's $600 in gold was found in his saddlebags near where his body was found. Chipita would not help in her own defense.
The trial lasted most of a morning. The jury brought back a verdict before noon. Silvera was found guilty of second-degree murder and Chipita was found guilty of first-degree murder. The foreman Owen Gaffney read it out: "We, the jury, find the defendant, Chipita Rodriguez, guilty of murder in the first degree, but on account of her old age, and the circumstantial evidence against her, do recommend her to the mercy of the court."
Judge Neal did not follow the jury's wishes. He gave Juan Silvera five years in prison and ordered Chipita to be hanged on Nov. 13, 1863.
How Neal saw the case or why he imposed the sentence he did is a mystery.
He made no sentencing statement and left no explanation that survived. Some of the trial records were burned in a fire in 1889; part of the court record survived. What information that survived suggests the evidence was not carefully considered, the case was wholly circumstantial, and there were no witnessses and no motive.
Behind this great mystery is an untold story. Why Chipita would not help in her defense was never explained. Corpus Christi's newspaper "The Ranchero" complimented the judge and jury for finding Chipita guilty and said, "We are decidedly pleased with our neighbors in San Patricio."
People in San Patricio weren't much pleased with themselves. Prominent citizens in the town urged Sheriff Means not to carry out the sentence. Chipita, after all, was not known to be a violent or mean-spirited person. The people thought there was something wrong with the trial and the sentence.
The day before the hanging, the sheriff suddenly left town, leaving the hangman, John Gilpin, to do the job on his lonesome.
The judge was also out of the county. When the hangman arrived, he tried to borrow a cart to transport Chipita to the hanging site on the river, but was turned down. He was forced to confiscate the cart.
At the hanging tree, there was a murmur from the crowd when the cart was moved forward, the new hemp rope jerked tight, and Chipita dropped from the bed of the cart, her feet dangling inches from the ground. The oxen moved so slowly, and her body was so light and frail, that the fall didn't break her neck, so she strangled to death.
A woman watching fainted, a young boy ran away, crying, and a man turned his back, saying, "I've had enough of this." Finally, Gilpin, the hangman, cut her down and they buried her in the plank-box coffin in an unmarked grave at the foot of the mesquite on the Nueces River, a thousand yards from the shocked town of old San Patricio.

Essay: A Time for Heroes
[Sorry, the video for this story has expired, but you can still read the transcript below. ]
NEWS ANCHOR: Coming up, we'll tell you about one student's absolutely amazing story about how he overcame some unbelievable odds…
ANNE TAYLOR FLEMING: You can't turn on any news show any hour of the day or night now without hearing somebody, or a group of somebodies, described as heroes. The word is everywhere. It most often wears a uniform: The uniform of the armed forces who are serving and sometimes losing their lives in Iraq and Afghanistan, or the uniform of the cop or firefighter– so many, too many who were entombed in the collapsing twin towers on that epochal day of disaster, leaving us all imagining them trudging up those smoky stairwells to a certain death. Unquestionably, 9/11 put the word "hero" front and center in the current vocabulary. It is a way for us survivors to honor and thank those who died.
SPOKESPERSON: Their bravery and their strength and the way in which they functioned in this first battle in this war that we're fighting should be an example to the rest of America to be strong, to not be afraid.
ANNE TAYLOR FLEMING: That was true, too, of course, of all the recent D-Day remembrances, the somber and moving 60th anniversary, that endless stretch of white crosses in that cemetery in Normandy, which can, however often seen, stop a heart on a dime. There was also the dedication of our own world war ii memorial in Washington, where again the word "hero" was much heard, as it was during all of the funeral ceremonies for President Ronald Reagan. Not to sound seditious, but it would be nice this father's day to take a little of the oomph out of the word "hero." Better yet, to expand the definition to include a different kind of man: Not the overtly brave, out-in-the-world, into-the-breach kind of male, but a tender, often more tedious version: Daddy, dad, pop, pops, father.
SPOKESPERSON: Michele Lee Jean Robitham…
ANNE TAYLOR FLEMING: Let's flip the scenario. Let's celebrate the husband who lost a wife on 9/11 and is now raising the children.
SPOKESPERSON: John Rodan…
ANNE TAYLOR FLEMING: Or the guy whose wife is in Iraq, leaving him to the daily, hands-on work of being both mother and father — or the stepfathers who move into new families, not with a cold shoulder or a heavy paw, but with an easy ear and a heroic delicacy — not a contradiction in terms, or it certainly shouldn't be. Or just the regular harried husband/father trying to help make ends meet while being the best dad he can, not letting his own fatigue and ego and longings get in the way of the sweet- tough task of raising children.
ANNE TAYLOR FLEMING: We tend to think of heroes as men of action, doers, conquerors, warriors. Think Brad Pitt in his shiny armor. We are in a moment of masculinity redux.
SONG: We are the champions…
ANNE TAYLOR FLEMING: Just look at the babe-ogling, Viagra-taking pop culture male. He's a supercharged stud who can, the inference is, go a few rounds with Ms. Sexually liberated babe. I wince sometimes when I see another one of the ever-present ads for Viagra or Levitra or Cialis, not out of embarrassment– we've come too far for that– but out of tenderness for men, for all the sexual performance pressure that is being put on them.
SONG: We are the champions of the world.
ANNE TAYLOR FLEMING: This Father's Day maybe we can just lower the decibel level, take the pressure off, stop insisting that performance on a battlefield or in bed is the only measure of a man or his heroism.
SPOKESMAN: One, two, three…
ANNE TAYLOR FLEMING: Let us honor instead all the men out there who are trying to turn children into whole, hopeful people. Can there be a nobler task?
I'm Anne Taylor Fleming.

AMES, Iowa -- Excessive rainfall across Iowa will cause two major issues when addressing manure management concerns, according to Iowa State University (ISU) Extension specialists.
"Producers should closely monitor manure storage levels during periods of high rainfall to prevent manure storage structures from over-topping" said Robert Burns, ISU Extension agricultural and biosystems engineer. "Producers should transfer manure to other storage if available, or make plans to remove manure before manure storage structures are completely full. If a manure storage structure is in danger of over-topping, producers should contact their local Iowa Department of Natural Resources (DNR) field office for assistance in making arrangements to remove the manure."
The second issue will be land application of the manure, especially if the storage structure is full and soils are saturated, said Angela Rieck-Hinz, ISU Extension program specialist. Rieck-Hinz works with the Iowa Manure Management Action Group at Iowa State University, http://www.agronext.iastate.edu/immag/.
"Producers needing to apply manure should assess field conditions and apply manure where the risk of runoff or flooding is low. Due to the current weather pattern, producers also are encouraged to keep an eye on the weather forecast and not apply manure if rain is predicted. If field conditions are saturated or near saturation, infiltration of manure will be impeded and runoff can occur with or without future precipitation. Again, if land application is needed, please consult your local DNR field office," Rieck-Hinz said.
Long-term implications of the wet weather may require producers to change fields where they had planned to apply manure this fall, she added. Producers with manure and nutrient management plans must document these changes prior to land application.
Application rates will still need to meet manure management plan requirements. Fields that are new to the manure management plan must have current soil samples taken and have the P Index calculations completed. If producers are faced with fewer acres for manure application than originally planned, they should consider working with neighbors to access additional acres.

Saying Haynesworth and Johnson were busts is inaccurate. NE gave up nothing for Moss, Haynesworth and Johnson. The 2011 Eagles …
Yes, the competition between these two teams will be highly anticipated !
They had it planned from the beginning. It's logical, Brady's contract lasts through 2017, they signed Amendola for five yeas …

Sixto Ramirez, Director of Engineering for the Hyatt Regency in Indian Wells, has been fundamental in making infrastructure changes to the hotel in order to reduce energy costs. Here, he demonstrastes Variable Frequence Drives that help with energy efficiency. Top photo shows the resort's pool area.
- Filed Under
Sixto Ramirez grew interested in energy efficiency early in his career with the Hyatt Hotel Corporation, soon after he graduated from the University of Puerto Rico with a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering and took his first job at a Hyatt property on the island.
"I didn't understand why Hyatt needed an engineer," said Ramirez, 37, now director of engineering at the Hyatt Regency Spa & Resort in Indian Wells and the driving force behind the property's recent certification as a green hotel by the state government's Green Lodging Program.

Adagio and Allegro, Op. 70
Cello, Piano Accompaniment
Edition for Violoncello and Piano With Marked and Unmarked String. Composed by Robert Schumann. Edited by Ernst Herttrich. Henle Music Folios. G. Henle #HN1024. Published by G. Henle (HL.51481024).
Item Number: HL.51481024
In 1849, Schumann turned to a new genre: works for piano and an accompanying instrument. The first works he composed were the Fantasy Pieces for piano and clarinet opus 73, immediately followed by opus 70. Schumann drew his publisher's attention to the "brilliant allegro," whose solo part is so virtuosic that opus 70 is one of the showpieces for horn players even today. Schumann also wrote a part for violoncello.

Last weekend, the Johns Hopkins Health System Human Resources central office completed its move to Eastern High School. This shift marks the next phase of the realignment of Human Resources services across the entire Health System. With the aim to consolidate staffing and better serve employees across the system, we are now setting up a corporate office and transitioning central functions into it from the entities.
Bonnie Windsor is now the Senior Director of Human Resources and is responsible for day-to-day Human Resources functions for The Johns Hopkins Hospital and Johns Hopkins Health System Corporation. In her new role, Bonnie will lead: Employee Relations, Organizational Development and Training for The Johns Hopkins Hospital, Johns Hopkins Health System Corporation, Johns Hopkins HealthCare, Johns Hopkins Community Physicians and Johns Hopkins International, and she will continue to oversee Intrastaff. She will also continue to manage Career Services until the new corporate recruitment leader is named.

Blue Devils with the Walla Walla High School Class of 1956 have such fun together that they're assembling for a mass 75th birth-year party at 4 p.m. Sept. 28 at DeLaney Farm, 2862 Mill Creek Road.
The class, which started out at just under 300 members, still sees good attendance for reunions and parties, said Jim Irwin of Walla Walla.
Locals meet for lunch once per month and in July had 20 for a confab at the Walla Walla Country Club. That included the classmate who drove his sports car from Seattle and right after lunch headed back over the mountains.
It was such a hit when Red and Carol DeLaney hosted the group's 70th birth-year party at their farm up Mill Creek that the 75th is a repeat performance.
"Red has since died, but Carol, Wa-Hi Class of 1957, agreed to let us do it there again," Jim said. "This time it will be on my birthday, so I guess I'm in charge."
"Like Red, I married a younger woman from the Class of 1957 (Shirley Wasemiller Irwin)," Jim said.
They hope to see as many as 100 for the event. There is no fee, but contributions will be accepted.
Not all those coming are 1956 classmates, because many spouses are not from here and some are from other classes, Jim said. "Some of the classmates will get together with their grade school groups like Berney, Prospect Point or College Place or just enjoy the old hometown and see how it has changed (or not)."
Jim recently mailed out 80 postcards to classmates who don't have email and "apparently do not plan on ever getting on it." Another 92 are on his email list. "The rest we have lost contact with or are deceased. We have 78 that we know are deceased." For more details, contact Jim at email@example.com or 529-2411.
Kit Maestretti, president of the Walla Walla Country Club 18-Hole Women's Golf Association, said their second annual Golf for the Cause is coming up.
The tournament is open to women and supports female cancer patients receiving treatment at St. Mary Regional Cancer Center.
The shotgun start will be at 8:30 a.m. Sept. 3. It has an 18-hole four-person scramble with on-course games, a straight drive, KPs and hit the green.
There is a $25 donation per player that can be paid on the day of the event with a check to Providence St. Mary Foundation, with WWCC 18-Hole Women's Golf in the memo line. The golf fee for non-members is $20 plus tax, payable at the Pro Shop.
Call the Pro Shop at 525-1562 to sign up as a team or to be placed on a team. The dress code is no jeans or shorts/skirts higher than mid-thigh, and collar or sleeves required on tops.
Call the club at 525-1780 to make reservations for the no-host luncheon and awards that follow the round, $14 all inclusive. Signups and lunch reservations are due by Sept. 1. In addition, cards can be posted in memory of or in honor of those who have been affected by cancer. Cards are available in the Club office with a $5 suggested donation per card.

Vacuum Cleaner Bags
Vacuum cleaning systems that offer the best cleaning ability – is that what you are seeking? It's also likely that you believe that cleaning ability is related to power or suction. Actually, it's not. While there's no single factor that determines the cleaning ability of the vacuum cleaner you use, understanding how vacuums work and how you can help maintain your vacuum cleaner to perform its best is important. Changing your vacuum cleaner bag is an important step in maintaining the efficiency of your vacuum cleaner. While most vacuum cleaners come with an indicator to help you determine when your cleaner's dust bag needs to be changed, you can perform a check yourself to see if it is over 50% full as that's when you need to replace it. Don't wait until the dust bag in your vacuum cleaner is completely full as it can reduce the suction and cleaning capacity of your vacuum cleaning system. If you use your vacuum cleaner frequently, it is recommended that you change vacuum cleaner bags once a month, especially if you are cleaning a large area over 2000 square feet or if your pet sheds a lot.
What you need the most when you are considering vacuum cleaner bag replacement is a bag that is well-matched with the model of your vacuum cleaning system. You can find original equipment manufacturer (OEM) or replacement type bags online. While both serve the purpose, that is enhancing the cleaning capacity of your vacuum cleaning system and providing you an easy way to get rid of all the dirt that you vacuum cleaner collects, you can choose one according to your budget and cleaning needs. At GoVacuum, we have got a vast range of vacuum cleaner bags from the biggest and the best brands around. You'll find them here at great prices and shipping offers. We are the vacuum cleaning system experts and can recommend the right bag for your existing system all while staying within your budget.

Embedded Linux Development (LFD411)
Next Available Class
North Reading, MA
Early Bird Discount
before July 15
Get advanced Linux training on the key steps to developing an embedded Linux product. Gain real world experience through extensive hands-on practice with target devices.
Course Description
Linux Foundation Training Program Director Jerry Cooperstein talks about our Embedded Linux Development courses.
Embedded Linux Development is designed to provide experienced developers a solid grounding in the methods used to adapt the Linux kernel and user-space libraries and utilities to particular embedded environments, such as those in use in consumer electronics, military, medical, industrial, and auto industries. This five day course includes extensive hands-on exercises and demonstrations, focused upon the tools necessary for developing embedded Linux devices. Upon mastering the material you will have a basic understanding of:
- The Linux kernel architecture, emphasizing the essential points relevant to adapting the kernel to a custom embedded platform.
- The techniques for right sizing the system to meet project constraints
- The multitude of resources available for constructing a cross development environment for embedded projects
- The options available for populating libraries and application user-spaces to meet the goals and constraints of embedded systems
You will step through all of these phases of Embedded Linux Development with laboratory exercises on an embedded board (provided by the Linux Foundation). These exercises give you hands-on practice you can take directly back to your project. After class, students will get to take their embedded Linux development kit home for further practice.
Students are expected to provide their own computers for the class.
Course Materials
Besides all necessary materials to do the lab exercises (embedded board, needed cabling, card readers etc.) you will receive a printed copy of the very detailed course manual.
For more details view the Course Outline.
The course is primarily intended for experienced developers programmers and engineers who are interested in learning how to adapt Linux to an embedded system, especially those who have been assigned to a team tasked with designing such a system. The purpose here is to shorten the learning curve by providing a guided tour of the relevant points within the architecture of Linux systems.
While there is some discussion of kernel programming and how to write device drivers and other kinds of kernel modules, LFD411 is not primarily a programming class.
While there is some discussion of applications, this course focuses on the plumbing, the internals and design of embedded devices, not on how to write applications to run on them.
You should:
- Be familiar with basic Linux (UNIX) utilities such as ls, grep and tar, and be familiar with command shells (bash) and scripts.
- Be comfortable using any of the available text editors (e.g. vi, emacs, etc.).
- Be proficient in the C programming language.
- Know the basics of compiling and linking programs, constructing Makefiles, etc.; i.e. be comfortable doing development n a Linux or UNIX environment.
- Experience with any major Linux distribution is helpful but not strictly required.
If you have a basic understanding of the top-level principles of cross development, where a host system is used to develop and compile software that runs on a different target system, it would be helpful.
The course will survey the wide range of CPUs supported by the Linux community that are used in embedded systems, as well as some other hardware components that have good support. The purpose is to introduce resources that can be used to guide component selection when designing embedded systems.
