Re: x86_64 lock-up problems - any ideas?
hi gilboa,
No I don't need cool'n'quiet, but I've pretty much ruled it out as a cause of the problem. I recompiled the kernel without any frequency control/cnq support and it still locks up when running as root.
Tried it a second ago, it will run two lots of glxgears at the same time but shut them both down and try to start another and it locks up. It opens the window to draw into and there is the black background but that's it. Mouse can be moved for a few seconds (and then not smoothly), and then stops totally.
As SMP will be the norm by this time next year we shouldn't have to wait long for a fix ;-)
Just for info, in case it's not quite right-
with one window glxgears runs around 15,000fps and one core at 100%
with two windows glxgears runs approx 1,400fps and two cores at 100%...
So twice as much processor usage and one tenth the frame rate.
Might have to try that test on my athlon mp box for comparison!

Embellish a plain pair of flip flops with treasure tape and diamond beadlets.
- One pair of flip flops (target)
- 1/4" treasure tape
- Scissors
- Treasure It Diamond Beadlets
- Mrs. K's Dimensional Thread: #16 Braid 032, 321J 1/8" Ribbon 018V, #12 Braid 003V
- Apply your 1/4" tape in two strips to the top of the plastic straps on one flip-flop.
- Peel back the red liner from both sides.
- Beginning as close to one end of the strap as possible, use the 018V thread to create a border along the bottom of the tape. Add a second border inside the blue using your gold thread. Using the white, create a zig zag across the remaining space on the tape.
- Peel one small star from your sheet of Tape Shapes, and place it over the center of your strap. Peel back the red liner, and begin embellishing with the red thread. Start between two arms of the star and outline the edge of the star shape, continuing along the inside of the shape until the whole star is covered.
- Place your flip flop in a ziploc bag or a shallow tray, and pour Diamond Beadlets over the exposed tape. Tap gently to remove excess beadlets. Repeat this process with your second flip-flop, and enjoy!

Develop a higher level of Portuguese language fluency and deep appreciation for Brazilian life in one of the most beautiful and socio-politically fascinating cities on Earth: Rio de Janeiro. On our Winter Intensive Language and Culture program, you'll take part in dynamic language study that emphasizes cultural literacy – and is based on your current language abilities. Cultural activities, excursions, and a homestay introduce you to exceptional artifacts of Brazilian culture. And that's just the start.
Study abroad in Rio de Janeiro and you'll:
We want as many students as possible to benefit from studying abroad. That's why CIEE awards more than $3 million every year – more than any other international educational organization – to make study abroad affordable.
Applicants to this program are eligible for the following scholarships and grants:
For minority students from minority-serving institutions who demonstrate financial need based on estimated family contribution (EFC)
For students with a GPA or 3.8 or higher who excel in academic pursuits devoted to socially important areas of study
For students who demonstrate financial need, CIEE provides direct support for travel.
Awards: Up to $1,500 per student
To be considered, simply check the "Scholarships and Grants" box on your program application.Apply now
The student-centered methodology of the Portuguese as a Second Language program is active, participatory, and prioritizes work in pairs and groups as well as activities requiring you to solve tasks and navigate situations. Using a combination of practical activities, lectures, auditory exercises, and analysis of texts, you'll significantly develop your Portuguese fluency.
There are few better ways to immerse yourself in Brazilian culture than by living with a local family. In Rio, you'll have the choice of either an individual homestay or, if you'd prefer to live with another student.
The academic program is supplemented by field trips and excursions to various points of interest around Rio and Brazil and may include visits to sites of historic and cultural importance to Rio and its environs. These activities, which vary each semester to take advantage of seasonal and current attractions, may include a tour of the city of Rio, guided visits to the city's numerous national museums, tours of historical neighborhoods, attending soccer matches, participating in Carnaval activities, and taking advantage of Rio's rich and diverse arts culture. Events and activities are chosen to provide you with an overview of the geographic, cultural, and economic diversity of Rio and coastal Brazil
We want to make sure you get the most out of your experience when you study abroad with CIEE, which is why we offer the most inclusions in our fees.
The program fee includes:
This breakdown has been prepared from the program budget for the purpose of calculating eligibility for financial aid. During the course of program operations, actual figures may vary.

* non-refundable
** direct cost of education charged uniformly to all students
*** includes breakfast
The estimated additional costs indicated are intended to assist students and parents in budgeting for those additional living and discretionary expenses not included in the program fee. Actual expenses will vary according to student interests and spending habits.
* round-trip based on U.S. East Coast departure

*** local government registration
Total recommended credit for the ILCP program is 6 semester/9 quarter hours and 90 contact hours.
Students are required to enroll in Intensive Portuguese as a Second Language.
Rio de Janeiro ("January River") is the capital city of the State of Rio de Janeiro, the second largest city of Brazil and the third largest metropolitan area in South America. The city was the capital of Brazil for nearly two centuries, including six years as the capital of Portugal (1815-1821). Rio is the most visited city in the southern hemisphere and is known for its natural setting, Carnival celebrations, samba, Bossa Nova, and its energetic population. Rio's iconic landmarks include the giant statue of Christ the Redeemer atop Corcovado Mountain, Copacabana, and Ipanema Beaches, Sugarloaf Mountain, and the Maracanã soccer stadium.
Matt Ryan began his work with CIEE in 2003, working with incoming high school and university programs. In April of 2008 he joined the CIEE Brazil team in Salvador da Bahia where he has worked on everything from community service programs, cultural activities, local enrollment and advising for CIEE students. He has been instrumental in the conception and creation of the Rio study center and programs. Before joining CIEE in 2003, Matt lived in Rio de Janeiro teaching English both as a volunteer and for a local school. He is originally from Rochester, New York and graduated from St. Bonaventure University with a B.A. in Sociology.
Landing by airplane, visitors to Rio de Janeiro are immediately captivated by the city's stunning landscape. Few places in the world can offer the dramatic natural beauty of Rio de Janeiro: golden beaches, stunning granite mountains, and green tropical forest all set together within a modern metropolis of almost eight million people. Its natural beauty is what has always attracted so many people to Rio de Janeiro, but it is the people, their inexhaustible joie de vivre, and their rich cultural history that inevitably stays with those who have had the pleasure of knowing the city. Rio de Janeiro is in the midst of adding another exciting chapter to its rich 500 year history by making monumental strides in confronting the complex social issues that developed in the city during the 20th century. The city is being a looked to by much of the developing world as a model for social and economical development.
CIEE`s Language and Culture program offers students an opportunity not only to study in a spectacular cultural and historic environment but also to study and learn Portuguese at one of Brazil's most prestigious private universities, PUC Rio. With the 2014 World Cup Finals and the 2016 Olympics steadily approaching, the Cariocas (people from Rio de Janeiro) are anxiously awaiting and preparing to show the rest of the world why their city has long earned its nickname as the 'Cidade Maravilhosa.'
Matt Ryan - Resident Administrative Director
Fernanda Gray was born and raised in Rio de Janeiro. While studying International Relations, she went to the US as an exchange student and the experience changed her life. After 11 years of studying and working in Washington state she decided to return to her roots in Rio. As resident coordinator, Fernanda administers homestays and helps to create and organize activities for CIEE students. She loves hiking, biking, going on long walks and spending time on the beach as well as visual arts and live music. For Fernanda, moving back to Rio was essential to enjoying her hobbies and an outdoor life style.
With a doctorate from Stanford University in German Studies, Sean McIntyre, Ph.D., subsequently taught freshman humanities at Stanford from 2003 to 2006 and Brazilian Portuguese from 2006 to 2007 as a visiting lecturer. Sean was also active as a research associate at the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies, Stanford University, from 2008 to 2013. Since 2006 Sean has taught Brazilian Portuguese and undergraduate general humanities courses at several colleges and universities in the San Francisco Bay Area, and in 2007 he received a National Endowment for the Humanities fellowship to study Brazilian literature at the University of São Paulo-Campinas (UNICAMP) and to develop a university-level Brazilian literature course. In 2011 Sean moved to Rio de Janeiro where he teaches Portuguese and continues to edit scholarly manuscripts and translate for museum exhibits and literary and theatrical productions.
Native from São Paulo, Camila moved to Rio to accomplish her bachelor in International Relations at PUC-RIO. Seven years since she moved, she is still discovering new aspects of the city and love to enjoy its beaches and nature, as well as the cultural life of Rio. At CIEE, Camila will help the students with the academic process of their universities and help to develop cultural and social activities that can make the students discover Rio as she does. She likes dancing, biking and love going to concerts.
Once the capital of Brazil and now the undisputed cultural capital, Rio de Janeiro is also home to four of the top fifteen ranked universities in the nation, according to the Brazilian Ministry of Education's latest rankings.
Family Homestays— CIEE works with homestays in Rio. Homestays are located in the South Zone of Rio and within very close proximity of public transportation. Sharing in the life of a family through a homestay provides an excellent opportunity for interested students to deconstruct stereotypes and observe real life in action. It also creates opportunities to practice their Portuguese language skills. Students can access the CIEE Study Center and campus(es) via public transportation. Breakfast is included.
Although every attempt is made to grant each student's preference, roommate and housing assignments are based upon availability and other factors. Therefore, housing preferences cannot be guaranteed.
You'll begin your study abroad experience in Rio de Janeiro even before leaving home by participating in a CIEE online pre-departure orientation. The resident director meets with students online and shares information about the program and site, highlighting issues that alumni have said are important, and giving you time to ask questions. The online orientation allows you to connect with others in the group, reflect on what you want to get out of the program, and learn what others in the group would like to accomplish. CIEE's aim for the pre-departure orientation is simple: to help you understand more about the program and identify your goals.
Upon arrival in Rio, you will partake in a two-day orientation session that will introduce you to Rio de Janeiro, PUC, Brazilian culture, and the academic program. The first day of orientation will include specially-designed sessions on health and safety, local living logistics, community engagement opportunities, as well as activities designed to get to know the city. The following day, you will reconvene at PUC for the university's international student orientation. You will learn about available courses, add-drop periods, meet other Brazilian students, and have the second part of your placement evaluation, an oral exam. Rest assured that after the orientation process you will be ready to begin classes and live in Rio de Janeiro.
You are encouraged to bring a wireless-enabled laptop. Many host families have Internet access in their homes in some form, but this is not a guaranteed feature of homestays. You will have access to the Internet (wireless and broadband) in computer labs at PUC-Rio and at Internet cafés, often called LAN houses, throughout the city. Internet reliability and access is not always available at the same level as in the U.S.; however, Brazil enjoys an advanced telecommunications infrastructure and major cities typically provide for ubiquitous access.
Established in 2012, the Intensive Language and Culture study abroad program is designed to prepare you for your studies at a Brazilian University. The program lasts approximately one month and includes 90 hours of intensive Portuguese language instruction offered at four different levels, with an additional option for Independent Study for students with very advanced or near-fluent Portuguese. The core academic content of the ILCP program is designed according to a highly dynamic and interactive communicative approach that also emphasizes cultural literacy, introducing students to exceptional artifacts of Brazilian culture. Students are placed in an intensive language class according to their ability as determined by a written placement test and an oral proficiency interview.
Brazilian universities tend to convey knowledge through different strategies and methods; innovation, design, participation, memorization, and expositive lectures are all part of the in-class academic culture. In most classes, a great deal of emphasis is placed on note taking. It can take a while to learn how to study effectively in the Brazilian system, especially in terms of acquiring reading material and understanding professors expectations. CIEE staff understand this and are prepared to help you get the most out of your academic experience.
Courses are taught by nationally accredited faculty with postgraduate degrees (M.Sc., M.A., and Ph.D.).
Study abroad students take part in the CIEE community Language Commitment by speaking Portuguese at all times (except in emergencies). This fosters a learning community that contributes to both Portuguese language proficiency and understanding of Brazilian society.
Assessment for courses is typically based on a combination of written and oral assignments and a final paper or examination. The Brazilian grading scale goes from 1 to 10, with 5 being a passing grade and 7 considered satisfactory in general. The CIEE Study Center in Brazil converts grades and credits to the U.S. system according to a predetermined scale.
All courses are taught by faculty from PUC-Rio.
Note: This course listing is for informational purposes only and does not constitute a contract between CIEE and any applicant, student, institution, or other party. The courses, as described, may be subject to change as a result of ongoing curricular revisions, assignment of lecturers and teaching staff, and program development. Courses may be canceled due to insufficient enrollment.
To view the most recent syllabi for courses taught by CIEE at our Study Centers, visit our syllabi site.
Upon arrival, students take a language placement exam to determine which language course they will take during the ILCP. The courses prepare international students to attend regular university courses in all academic areas, including History, Anthropology, Literature, International Relations, and Engineering, among others. Courses consist of 90 hours of instruction. Most students who speak Spanish with average fluency are expected to be able to attend regular courses at PUC-Rio after completing the ILCP.
The ILCP program will offer intensive Portuguese at the following levels:
The ILCP's pre-term Portuguese as a Second Language Intensive Courses are offered twice a year prior to each semester. Students with lower proficiency can enroll in the CIEE Language and Culture program in which they are able to take coursework at PUC-Rio taught in English.

winmodem (Conexant) on laptop and SuSE 9.1 64 bits
The winmodem inside my Asus L5D laptop seems to be one built by Conexant
and used inside the nVidia chipset. Under WinXP, its name is an AC 97 Soft v92 .... But with lspci -v, it is only an Asustek modem. Yast found it as
an Asusteck modem but this modem does not work. There are some linux drivers for Conexant soft-modems. I downloaded the right one for SuSE 9.1 but some problems occured during configuration. Probably due to the fact
that it is for 32 bits and not for 64 bits.
Who can have an idea on how to use this winmodem under SuSE 9.1 Pro
64 bits (updated kernel from SuSE website) ?

So this is my first post to ADV. Got my first bike this year. I road a bit in Texas, but never owned my own. Now that I'm in Africa, I could not resist. Below are a few photos that tell my story so far... (thanks to smugmug hosting)
This is off loading the piki (bike in Swahili). Mine is in the box on the right.
When rolling the bike down the ramp, some how the mounting bracket for the rear break broke. That's some serious metal just to snap. So it was going to be my first time on the bike and now I had to wait for a part to come from the US. Not so pleasant :(
It's a nearly stock 2006 XR650L from Florida. When I got it I think the only non-stock item was the White Bros exhaust. I have since added the rear box (and now removed), Acerbis hand guards and you will see in a future photo the 4.7 Clarke tank.
On top of the Ngong hills just outside of Nairobi, Kenya. Shoie Hornet DS helmet, soon to be ruined.
Joe Rocket Mesh jacket. After a long day of riding with the giraffe, zebra, impala, eland and other animals. Lots of fun. Oh, of course I did not mention that I replaced that massive monstrosity on the rear of the bike with a small tail light. Still need to get the wiring right.
A few friends' bikes. A 1998 XR650L & a 2009 250 KTM (not sure of the exact model, but it is street legal).
It was after the previous photos that I laid down the bike for the first time and my first time to ever go down. A bit distracted, a bit warn out, lazy and inexperience got me down for no good reason. I bent up the gear shift really bad and just got a new IMS installed. My head hurt from a pretty good hit and my thumb is still in pain and a bit swollen (2wks later). So here is the replacement. I'm coming home for a quick visit in July and plan to send the old Hornet to Shoie for their inspection to see if it's still good.
More pics to come as the adventures come often. I'm always looking for a good reason to accessorize and upgrade. What's the next best thing to do? I don't like my aggressive tires. I'm considering the Dunlop 606 or 908. I do about 80% on-road (REALLY bad roads) and 20% true dirt/off-road. I'd also like some kind of rack that can easily hold a box and be easily removed and reattached. I've been thinking about the Billet one that seems to come off easily with just 4 allen screws. Any thoughts on that or other suggestions?
Just remembered I also installed a skit plate and I'm looking for advice on whether or not to install the Trail Tech digital dashboard (Vapor I think). I also HATE the high gear ratio. I'm thinking of changing the front to a 14 and leaving the rear stock. When I climbed the Ngong hills the high ratio was a KILLER. But I will also do some highway riding. Really need to stay in the 'happy middle ground.'
Upgrades to date:
K&N Air Filter
K&N Oil Filter (not yet installed)
Gas Filter
4.7 Clarke Tank
Skid Plate
Acerbis hand guards
White Bros Exhaust
Universal low profile tail light
IMS gear shift
Want to Upgrade
(need advice):
Trail Tech Vapor
Lower Gear ratio
Better rear tire for road handling
Detachable rear rack

I purchased tickets for my boyfriend's birthday. The reviews were great, but the experience exceeded my expectations. The sushi was high quality, the wine and sake selection were great and the staff was really friendly. There were enough people on the boat to create a fun, lively atmosphere, yet there was still a feeling of privacy.

Impressive sailing close to the Statue of Liberty at sunset. along the way were delicious sushi, wine, beer, sake served by the fantastic and enthusiastic crew. The sailing ship "America 2.0" 104 foot sailing ship in exceptional condition. We are a Danish family of six (age 21-55) and we had a memorable experience which we strongly recommend.

My wife and I took a lovely cruise around the Hudson on this tour. We had a bad ass, all female crew and they were all incredible. They were sweet, friendly and very attentive. Although it's not a booze cruise, drinks were a-plenty. We even met another local couple and quickly became friends. The views were amazing and the sushi was solid--not as amazing as what you'd get at Morimoto, but you're giving up some of the quality/freshness for the setting. A+ tour. I will be dragging many of my friends aboard with me next time!

Did this Morimoto Sushi and Sake cruise for my husband's and my 20th anniversary. It was perfect from start to finish. We had lovely weather and a gorgeous sunset. The crew were super friendly and offering us beverages throughout the two hour sail. They were helpful and great to talk to or ask questions of about what we were seeing. Got great photos of the Statue of Liberty with the sun setting behind it, the Manhattan skyline, Ellis Island, etc. The sail was smooth and the breeze lovely. The sushi was INCREDIBLE! Best sushi I've ever had... fresh and tasty. The crew was there to help with all the supplies you need to enjoy your dinner—napkins, chopsticks, plates, etc. We didn't have to move a muscle if we didn't want to. Lovely variety of sake as well as other wines and beers. Would do this cruise again in a heartbeat. OR maybe next time we'll try one of the other offerings by this company. They were awesome. It was a magical and unforgettable night. Give it a try!

Crew was very professional, polite and friendly.
Food was awsome & delicious.
Harbor views & sunset were excellent.
I am a four-peater...and will be taking another different group with me on the September cruise.
Consistently fabulous.
Can't wait.

- What type of ticket should I purchase if I'm bringing a very young child?
- For children between the ages of 3 and 14 you should purchase a reduced price Child ticket. While many of our sails and cruises are family and children friendly, due to the nature and duration of this particular event, we kindly ask that you do not bring a child under the age of 3.

- What happens if the sail is sold out?
- Unfortunately, we do not have a wait-list for our sails, so please book well in advance.
- When is the sunset?
- The sun sets at a different time almost everyday. Your sunset sail may occur during, at the start, at the end, just after, or just before a sunset. We start our sunset sails in early May when the sun sets at about 7:50. Throughout the month they steadily get 30 minutes later by June 1.The latest average sunset is throughout the month of June - starting at 8:20 in the beginning of the month and and ending at 8:30 in the end of the month. July starts off with an 8:30 sunset and ends with a 8:10 sunset. August progresses from 8:10 and ends with a 7:30 sunset. September drops almost a whole hour throughout the course of the month- 7:30- 6:37 by the time October rolls around. October ends with a sunset at 5:50 and then daylight savings kicks in a week later in November...4:30 sunsets!
- Is there parking and how much is it?

- What type of ticket should I buy if I'm bringing a very young child?
- General admission tickets are for all ages. There are no free infant tickets or child tickets available on sunset schooner sails. We do have free infant tickets and child tickets available on our Day Sails as these departures are designated as family-friendly sails. You are permitted to bring Children on the Morimoto Sushi & Sake Sunset Sail, but they will have to have a "General Admission" full price ticket purchased on their behalf. This trip is designated for Adults and Couples and we aim to create an elegant experience for these guests. We ask that only mature, well-behaved children be brought aboard for these sails should you choose to book this sail with children.
- What exactly do we see on the sail?
- While each sail may differ due to wind and other conditions, we do try to follow the following route: heading south from Chelsea Piers and down the Hudson River into New York Harbor, the schooners pass Battery Park and Ellis Island and sail out to the Statue of Liberty. Enjoy fantastic views of the NYC skyline on the way back to Chelsea Piers.
- Is food served during the sail?
- Yes. Morimoto sushi and rolls are served during the first hour of the sail. Complimentary Sake, Champagne, Beer, Soda & Water is also served.

- No, unfortunately Morimoto will not be on board. A representative may come on board to look after their fish, but that is not guaranteed!
- How about drinks? Should I bring those?
- No, it is illegal for you to bring alcohol of your own on board. Complimentary sake, champagne, wine, beer, soft drinks and water are offered and we therefore we ask that you do not bring your own drinks on the sail. (One quick note: we will serve a few rounds, but it is not an unlimited booze-cruise. We aim to create an elegant, relaxing, peaceful, and safe experience for all of our guests.)
- Are the schooners safe?
- Absolutely. While known for their speed, the Schooners America, Adirondack & Adirondack III are safe and gentle vessels. Along with your captain, there is a minimum of two crew members on every sail to make sure you feel comfortable and at home on the water. We are stocked with water, beverages, blankets, pillows, and life jackets should you feel you need one. There are also a private marine heads (bathrooms) and cabins below.

- These schooners are steady, gentle vessels. It is very rare for our guests to become seasick. While most people do not experience any sea sickness on the Schooners Adirondack & America 2.0, you may want to consider light medication if you normally take it for motion sickness. We cannot officially advise you to take any medication, however.
- Is there a bathroom on the boat?
- Yes, the boats are equipped with a bathroom that is accessible at all times. We call it a "marine head" and it is unlike the bathroom you use at home. It involves pumping and there are simple directions posted in the bathroom on how to use it.
- Is there an age limit for these sails?
- While there is no age limit for the sails, all attendees under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. The Sushi and Sake Sail is note recommended for children but groups with children will not be turned away.
- Can I stow anything (eg, my briefcase) during the sail?
- There is an area below deck where you may store your belongings. Please keep in mind that this area is not guarded, so we cannot take responsibility for any broken, lost or missing items. But we have not had any problems with items being left on prior sails.
- Where does the sail finish?
- Our sail will end at the same pier from which it departed.
- Can I get a refund or reschedule my tickets after buying them?
- Because we are guaranteeing your space on the sail, tickets cannot be refunded or rescheduled once purchased unless our captain cancels a sail due to weather.
- Do you ever cancel sails due to bad weather?
- The sail usually runs in light rain and other moderate weather situations. The only time we cancel a trip is in the event of severe or unsafe weather conditions. Our captains monitor the radar to watch fronts and cells in the area on days when inclement weater is possible. Cancellations are made on the day of the sail, by the Captain, up to 1 hour prior to sail time. If you have purchased tickets for a sail that is canceled, you will have the opportunity to reschedule your tickets (subject to availability), receive credit towards a future event, or receive a refund.
- What happens if it starts raining when we're out on our sail?
- Don't worry, we won't melt! Trips with a little wetness have proven to be some the most memorable bonding experiences for our guests. (This all depends on attitude of course...)
