Interstitial nephritis and perinephritis are associated with paroxysmal attacks of hematuria and pain, and no albuminuria is present in the intervals. Macroscopically, perinephritis fibrosa, with more or less adhesive growth of the membrana propria to the sclerosed fatty capsule, is found. Anatomically, interstitial nephritis is found. These cases are at times associated with a uric acid or oxalate diathesis; they are forerunners of those in Group 2.2. Interstitial and usually granular nephritis and perinephritis with hematuria, pain and constant albuminuria. Often there is contracted kidney and high blood pressure in such cases.3.

Is Ammann only good in north america? Lol seems like maybe true.
Is Ammann only good in north america? Lol seems like maybe true.
So happy for Kamil! He was great And I could hear my national anthem at the Olympics thanks to him!
Those two jumps from Kamil in the Olympic Normal Hill competition on Sunday were magnificent. After the first round, we knew that it was going to take a massive jump in the second round to beat him. But for him to put in another massive jump just shows that Round 1 was no fluke.
Three wins on the trot just shows that Stoch is the guy on form at the right time. And he is normally good on the big hills as well. So that is an ominous warning for the rest of the field ahead of the Olympic Big Hill competition this weekend.
I have said a few times that Slovenia has a very big reservoir of talent. Like I genuinely believe that there are 4 or 5 that can become regular World Cup winners over the next few seasons.
For me, Kranjec is probably the strongest of the Slovenian Men. So, it was very unfortunate that he got injured in the qualifying for the Olympic Normal Hill competition. But, Prevc sure made up for it!
Although it was a slightly depleted field, the fact that we had an all-Slovenian podium in Sapporo a few weeks ago is a sign of things to come.
As for Poland, well they also have a lot of strong jumpers. However, ever since Adam Malysz retired, there hasnt really been a Pole that has been consistently near the top. They seem to be taking it in turns each competition.
Take the first 4 competitions of this seasons World Cup as an example. Krzysztof Biegun won the opening competition at Klingenthal, while his team-mates Piotr Zyla and Maciej Kot were 5th and 6th. Stoch was only 37th. Onto Kuusamo, and Stoch was the only Pole to make the Top 10 (in 10th place), with the next Pole being Krzysztof Biegun in 18th. First competition at Lillehammer, and Kot was 5th with the next Pole being Stoch in 20th. Second Lillehammer competition, and Zyla was in 6th, with the next Pole being Stoch in 18th.
At the moment, the strongest is definitely Stoch! But, that may change almost overnight.
But, what I did find interesting was that the top 2 in the Normal Hill competition just happened to be the current Top 2 in the World Cup standings.
Its just a pity that Noriaki Kasai didnt complete that pattern by getting the Bronze medal. But, at least both his jumps were 100m or more. And just remember, Kasai always seems to do his best on the bigger hills
Hell not do the double at this Olympics, but I would not bet against him getting a good result in the Big Hill competition next weekend. Hes one of those guys you cant count out.
Oh, and don't forget that the inaugural Olympic Womens competition is today. The Trial round starts at 16:30 GMT (the same time as the Group 3 Warm-up for the Pairs Short gets underway), with the Competition itself starting at 17:30 GMT (when Berton / Hortorek will be getting their scores)
Ill post more details in the Womens thread in a moment
Just a wee reminder that the Qualifying for the Individual Big Hill competition will be starting in around 20 minutes, i.e. during Brian Joubert's FS routine.

Hope this helps
I thought there couldn't possibly be another finish as exciting as there was to the Women's Cross Country this morning.
How wrong was I?!
I was getting just as excited towards the end of the Big Hill competition!!!
In the first round, Noriaki Kasai and Kamil Stoch both jumped 139.0m. But, Kamil took the lead because each judge gave him 0.5 points more than Nori. And, Nori had a bigger wind deduction.
Third in the first round was Severin Freund, with Petr Prevc 4th.
Simon Ammann was only 29th in the first round, jumping 125m. And although he got 131m in the 2nd round, it only moved him up to 23rd overall.
Notable names that didn't make it to the 2nd round included Morgi, who finished 40th with a jump of 122m. Diethart was 32nd, with a jump of 126.5m. And Andreas Wellinger, who finished 45th after jumping 117m, and did not have a good landing.
Despite hurting himself last week, and being told to sit out for 6 weeks, Robert Kranjec was back jumping 5 days later! He finished 37th in the first round, with a jump of 125.5m. As Patrick Winterton said in commentary, the good news to take from this is that he won't jump in the 2nd round, and so will get some more rest before the Team Competition on Monday.
The 2nd round got interesting very quickly. Russian veteran Demitri Vassiliev only finished 25th in the first round. But in the 2nd round got the longest jump of the day with 144.5m! Unfortunately, his bum and then both his hands touched the snow, so his style points were very low. But, even if he had got a good landing, he wouldn't have won anyway with his first round effort.
Marinus Kraus jumped just after Vassiliev, and ended up leading for most of the competition! It was only towards the end of the competition that he relinquished the lead, eventually finishing 6th.
It soon got VERY exciting. Prevc jumped, and then Freund slotted in behind him. This left the Top 2 - Kasai and Stoch.
Kasai jumped, and reached 133.5m. And the whole place erupted when he took the lead! All the Japanese jumpers ran out and give Nori a massive group hug!
Then it was Stoch. He jumped, and only managed 132.5m. And there was a tense wait for the judges scores to come through.
As it happened, there was practically no difference between Kasai and Stoch in terms of judges scores or compensation. So, Stoch won due to his advantage from the first round.
I LOVE Nori, so I was absolutely gutted. But, Nori wasn't too disappointed... he was delighted!!! And so was the TV director. When Stoch was being carried around the out-run by his team-mates, the TV cameras were firmly focussed Kasai!
And when they were marching out for the podium ceremony, it was Kasai who was visibly happiest. Whereas the others were just walking out, Nori was waving to the crowds. You could see his smile for miles! When they reached the podium, Nori had a massive jump up in the air when he was given the flowers. He was absolutely loving it!!!
And so was everybody watching!!!
So, Stoch has become only the third person to win the Olympic double.
But, the interesting thing was - it was the current Top 3 in the World Cup standings that were on the podium. The leader won, while Prevc and Kasai just swapped positions.
A great competition, and a great result. Roll on the Team Competition!
Noriaki Kasai is a wonder. Honestly, those guys could be his children and he is besting them. Would have loved to see him win. That was really exciting.
The tension was unbelievable! It could've gone either way, although it is commonly known Stoch's style is nearly perfect and he usually gets good points from the judges. His first jump was poetry!
Kasai was phenomenal. 42 years of age and the longest jumps of the competition. Just wow.
You need to remember though that Vassiliev and Kraus jumped from a different gate than the top guys, thus the long jumps.
Interestingly, with the jumps of today, Japan would've won the team competition, with Poland in second. Wouldn't that be a surprising team podium?
I wish Kasai had won, but regardless it was a fantastic competition.
Also really happy with Mackenzie Boyd-Clowes finishing 25th, his best ever finish in a major tournament.
I even learned to avoid predicting figure skating because it's going exactly opposite. And with my faves losing!
I like when John McEnroe predicts tennis slam winners. It's always exactly opposite. My wife is closer predicting who is on the rise and who is going down in tennis than John is. With the difference John is paid for it and my wife isn't..
And my wife is also great in figure skating predictions. Unfortunately I cannot publish it because it will jinx it.
Although, I should add - it was not toally unexpected for Kasai to get on the podium yesterday, as he does tend to do well on the bigger hills. As I said at the start of this thread:
Sure, it was totally my fault that Plushy ended his career the way he did! I predicted him to be on the podium in the Olympics Individual competition. And next thing you know, he hurts himself doing a jump in the warm-up, and has to withdraw.
And that is why I was nervous about doing predictions for the Olympics, because I really want my favourites to do well. But, since I somehow ended up running the Predictions Games, it would look bad if I didn't join in! Plus, it is actually really fun!
I hope you and your wife's predictions are going well, and that you are not jinxing your favourites this time!
Anyway, just a wee reminder that the Team Big Hill competition will be starting in around 45 minutes, i.e when Nathalie and Fabian are getting their scores.
Now, because they are showing curling, BBCi1 will not be joining the Ski Jumping Normal Hill competition today until 18:00 GMT.
HOWEVER, the ski jumping will be shown in its entirety on the BBC website, from 17:10 GMT.
Official BBC Livestream Channel
This is NOT the same livestreaming channel that was used for any of the previous competitions.
BBCi1 is available via:

After Dance was over I watched the jumping and wow, that was really exciting. Favourite moment was when they didn't show the marks on the screen, but somehow the Austrian marks. But then the german team went tumbling down, and it was clear they realized they made it! They were so happy, amazing. Good job!

Anne Arundel County police are crediting social media with helping them track down a robbery suspect.
Police arrested Thomas Kirsch, 52, of Gambrills, after they said he robbed a clerk with a knife at a Wawa convenience store in the 600 block of Admiral Drive in Annapolis.
Detectives said they posted surveillance photos of the crime online, and someone recognized Kirsch.
Officers said they executed a search warrant earlier this week and found the car and other items used in the robbery.
Kirsch was charged with armed robbery and first-degree assault.

New Jersey Devils (22-16-2) @ Pittsburgh Penguins (21-14-4)
7:00 pm/et
TV: ROOT, MSG Plus
Consol Energy Center – Pittsburgh, PA
The Penguins and Devils are tied in points, but the Devils have a game in hand. The Penguins are only two points ahead of Washington who is in ninth place in the East. There's no update on Jordan Staal's condition, but he won't be playing tonight. Dupuis will take over at center. Everything's great! YAAAAY!!!
Season Series: 1-1-0
Last meeting that counted: December 31, 2011. Devils won 3-1.
What we said in our recap:
Fitting end to a bizarre year. Dupuis got hurt, as did Asham. Pens had a chance late, but couldn't score on the powerplay. Worst. Year. Ever.
Know Your Enemy: Running With The Devils
What they're saying: (This is their preview for the Devils game against the Panthers.)
Any sign of life because god only knows this team flat lined the other night against the Bruins. Here's the issue that the Devils face. They were up 2-0 on Ottawa, lost that lead in the third and lost the game in OT. The Bruins proved how much better they are than us by just destroying us. If the Devils don't win tonight, that means they've dropped 3 in a row going into Pittsburgh tomorrow night. Not a great way to go into Pittsburgh.
Pittsburgh Penguins Notes:
Dustin Jeffrey is skating.
This will be Fleury's 400th career game.
New Jersey Devils Notes:
Patrick Elias just played his 1000th NHL game.

Let's mix things up by adding some variety to the assignment. Here you see a RARE WHITE SCALY, alligator that I photographed last year at the, California Academy of Sciences in Golden Gate Park. He is gorgeous and fun to photograph, but it's the fact of how rare he is that got me thinking. He isn't just an alligator, he is RARE, SCALY, and WHITE! So, let's take on those topics. Show us something RARE. WHITE. Or SCALY. :)
Extra Credit: Show us all three possibilities! "
The Merlion Statue, 8.6 m high and weighing 40 tons, is one of Singapore's national icon. As an emblem, it was designed by Fraser Brunner for the Singapore Tourism Board. Later, the vice-chancellor of the University of Singapore, Kwan Sai Kheong conceptualised the Merlion Statue which was thereafter constructed by Lim Nang Seng, a local craftsman. Since 15 September 1972, the Merlion statue and its cub had stood guard at the Mouth of the Singapore River at the Merlion Park. Exactly 30 years later, it was officially relaunched at its new home, the Merlion Pier, just off One Fullerton.
The Merlion is an imaginary creature with the head of a lion and the body of a fish. This half-lion, half-fish sculpture rests on undulating waves. The lion head alludes to the legend of Singapore's founding by Sang Nila Utama, a Palembang Prince who, on his arrival on the island, saw what he thought to be a lion and thereafter renamed Temasek, Singapura or "Lion City". The fish-tail represents Singapore's links to the ancient sea-bound island which was Temasek and its long and successful association with the sea, reflecting how our forefathers traversed the oceans to come to Singapore and our subsequent dependence upon it as a port.
The larger Merlion costs about S$165,000, is 8.6 m high and weighs at least 40 tons as it is made mainly of cement. It sits facing the East, aligned in the most auspicious feng-shui position as advised. An inscription reads "The Merlion has been erected as a symbol to welcome all visitors to Singapore". The Merlion Statue is brightly floodlit at night, and a favourite with photographers and tourists. The smaller Merlion, often referred to as the cub, is two metres high and weighs three tonnes.

The CHT-10R consists of 4 models based on their driver size and amplification, going from S" to 15", with Class A/B amplifiers being employed for each of them except forthe 15R. which uses a more expensive Class D amp. The driver used in the lOR is a custom designed 'Extended Excursion' driver which is engineered with vented pole pieces that increase the poser handling and assuring long-term reliability.
For the voice coil. dual layer copper has been used, which is specifically matched with a massive 2.5lbs magnet to provide exceptionally powerful dynamic bass. That's one of the reasons for all that weight. Velodyne has also installed their Distortion Limiting System in this cubical subwoofer, which is programmed into the DSP of the amplifier. It maximises usable amplifier power and provides maximum cone travel without overdriving the cone, in-turn preventing distortion at even the highest levels. With a lSOW amplifier, this little feature will come in handy when you drive the hell out of the subwoofer.
As for the cabinet itself, it is a front firing bass reflex design and are finished with fifteen coats of high-gloss, hand buffed, black lacquers. That translated directly into 'very long lasting'. The 'R' part of 'CHT-10R' stands for remote as previously mentioned, which in this case is a little guy that allows you to control the levels and pick four presets for efficient tuning of the subwoofer: movies, rock
music, jazz/classical and games. You don't' need to stick to these presets of-course, as they don't really take the room into consideration so positioning of the sub and manual tweaking is the best option.

If you all love clogwog, why is he in the COLA trolls list?
As I have already said, I am new at this. If I am doing anything
wrong, just explain what it is, and I will try to improve.
For example, is two separate replies in a row like this considered bad
style? If so, what is the correct way to handle it? Also, have I been
overly harsh on the trolls? I know I can be a bit of a troll feeder,
and, starting today, I am making an effort to change that.
Here is something else I left out of the last message I sent by
accident: The only reason I am using Gmail is that it allows free
Usenet access. If anyone has a recommendation of a better way to get
free access, I will listen.

Sorry, I didn't see the "newer" option, which is why I didn't see this

No, it is not. It never will be. Neither will Windows.
This is not an issue specific to Linux.

| Beware of those who would call you a friend for |
| many will eat your bread while working against |
| you. They will take credit for your good works |
| and blame you for their own misdeeds. |

1.1 Availability
This document is posted on a weekly to the comp.os.linux.advocacy,
comp.answers, and news.answers newsgroups. In addition it is archived
at rtfm.mit.edu ftp archive and its mirrors and is also available on
the Internet FAQ Consortium's website at www.faqs.org.
1.2 Welcome to comp.os.linux.advocacy
If you are new to Linux and/or comp.os.linux.advocacy, welcome. It is
hoped that you will will enjoy your time in comp.os.linux.advocacy and
find it educational. We also hope that you will find Linux as useful
for you. and that in the ripeness of time that you will become a
contributing member of the Linux community.
COLA is like a meeting hall for Linux advocacy. A place where those
who advocate the use of Linux can meet and discuss all things Linux.
In addition it is a place were individuals interested in Linux can
come to gain an understanding of the Linux and the Linux community and
to learn about the capabilities of Linux from those who are
experienced with the use, administration, and development of Linux.
By using Linux as a user or sysadmin you are a member of the Linux
community of which this newsgroup is an asset. The Linux community is
world-wide and interconnected by the internet and other networks gated
to the internet.
The description that your news server delivers to you for
comp.os.linux.advocacy, or COLA for short, is "Benefits of Linux
compared to other operating systems". That description is derived from
the charter of COLA. Sometimes advocacy groups are viewed as a place
where the bickering undesirables of other newsgroups are directed, in
order to remove a disruption from another group on the same general
subject. That is incorrect for COLA.
1.3 Contributing to this FAQ and Primer
All those who advocate the use of Linux are invited to submit material
and suggestions to be considered for future versions of this document.
Submissions should be sent by email to email@example.com. You may
also post your submissions in COLA; however, in that case you should
still email your submission as well, so that the submission will not
be missed as can happen if it were posted in COLA only.
Submissions offered by those who may deemed to be hostile to Linux,
including but not limited to anti-Linux propagandists, will not be
1.4 The Charter of comp.os.linux.advocacy
The charter of comp.os.linux.advocacy is:
For discussion of the benefits of Linux compared to other operating
That single sentence is the one and only charter of the newsgroup
comp.os.linux.advocacy. The newsgroup's charter is for the newsgroup
as a place for supporters of Linux to gather to discuss Linux, for the
betterment of the Linux community and the promotion and development of
Linux. It supports this as a place for those who would like to learn
more about Linux to come to learn from those who know Linux. It does
not call for it to be a place where the anti-Linux propagandists to
gather in order to discredit Linux.
You may have heard of another charter sometimes called by some the
"original charter," that opens the newsgroup to the abuses that are
inflicted on Linux by those who oppose Linux. That other charter never
existed, it was a proposed charter for another newsgroup that never
was created that would also have been called comp.os.linux.advocacy.
On 14 Feb 1994, Danny Gould email@example.com posted
firstname.lastname@example.com a Request for Discussion
entitled "Request for Discussion (RFD) on comp.os.linux.advocacy" to
the news.groups newsgroup. That RFD was cross posted to the
appropriate newsgroups and a number of other inappropriate newsgroups
as well. It included the following proposed charter:
The proposed group will provide a forum for the discussion of Linux.
In addition, it will allow comp.os.linux.misc to deal with Linux-
specific issues. Discussion will include (but not be limited to) the
discussion of the pros and cons of Linux and applications for Linux,
and the comparison of Linux with other operating systems and
environments such as Microsoft DOS and Windows, SCO UNIX, Coherent,
NeXTstep, Macintosh System, etc. It will be an unmoderated forum.
The call for votes on the proposal was not posted, the issue died
without a vote.
On 4 Oct 1994, Dave Sill email@example.com posted firstname.lastname@example.com a
Request for Discussion entitled "REQUEST FOR DISCUSSION (RFD)
comp.os.linux reorganization." Thus far comp.os.linux.advocacy was not
yet proposed. Note that unlike Danny, Dave posted the Request for
Discussions to appropriate newsgroups only, that is a hallmark of a
serious effort.
On 14 Oct 1994, Dave Sill firstname.lastname@example.com posted
email@example.com a revised version of this Request for
Discussion, this revised posting called for the creation of
comp.os.linux.advocacy among other comp.os.linux.* groups. Dave
proposed this charter for comp.os.linux.advocacy:
For discussion of the benefits of Linux compared to other operating
The Call for Votes went out in the required form, and on 13 Dec 1994
posted the results email@example.com with greater than 8 to 1 in favor
of the creation of comp.os.linux.advocacy (our COLA) with Dave's
proposed charter. On that date, that charter became effective and that
other charter that was proposed for the other comp.os.linux.advocacy
that never was created, never became anything that affects this
Those who oppose Linux and have invaded comp.os.linux.advocacy in
order to try to subvert the purpose of this newsgroup will continue as
they have to insult the intelligence of the Linux advocates by citing
that other proposed charter of that other newsgroup that never came
into existence. They also have continued to quote from the
introductory paragraph of the Danny's Request for Discussion as though
that were a part of any actual or even a part of the failed, proposed
charter. Perhaps they feel that the introductory section provides them
with a greater impact.
When someone posts citations from that failed Request for Discussion
in order to make it appear that the anti-Linux propagandists are
sanctioned to be posting in COLA, as was done by an anti-Linux
propagandist on January 13, 2002 in article
email@example.com, then once again by another anti-
Linux propagandist on February 13, 2002 in article
firstname.lastname@example.com they are not only
using disinformation they are also insulting the intelligence of
everyone who is a reader COLA.
2.1 On Topic Subjects
On-topic is anything anything regarding Linux that is of interest to a
person who advocates the use of Linux, or requests for information
about Linux by a person who would like to learn about it. COLA is also
a great place to share your Linux success stories.
COLA is not a place to advocate the use of other operating systems,
there are other newsgroups for advocating them. COLA is not a place to
vent real or imagined complaints regarding Linux. There are other
newsgroups created for that purpose.
COLA is not a place to post advertisements or other promotions for
financial gain or for promoting anything other than the use of Linux
operating system and growth of the Linux community.
3 Linux
Linux is an operating system based on the unix class of operating
systems. It can be argued that Linux is the kernel of the operating
system; however, in common usage the word Linux is used to refer to
entire operating system as a whole, an operating system comprised of
the kernel, systems utility software, user utility software and to a
lesser extent the applications software. This is the practice that
will be followed in this document. Specific instances of this from
given vendors are referred to as Linux Distributions.
Linux as stated above, is based on unix, but is not legally a clone of
the unix operating system. On the other hand it looks like unix,
behaves like unix, feels like unix enough to functionally be
considered a unix. Linux is more compatible with both major classes of
unix, BSD and AT&T, than they are with each other. Linux fully
operates with with the other unixes as an equal peer via networking.
Linux runs software compatible with those other unixes and in most
cases the very same software does run on each of those unixes and
Linux as well. Where the other unixes have deviated from each other
with various utilities or services, Linux typically supports both of
their styles of utilities. Often Linux is more compatible with the
various unixes, than they are with each other.
Linus Torvalds started developing Linux from scratch as a better unix
than than the Minix that was then available. Minix is a contraction of
Minimal Unix, and is the name of a very minimal unix that was licensed
for educational purposes. The name Linux is in turn a contraction of
Linus's Minix, although the actual results of Linus's early releases
had already so far out classed Minix so that Linus's Unix would have
been a better base to form the contraction Linux.
One of the major goals of creating Linux was to create a unix that was
free from the encumbrances of existing unixes and the licensing that
restricted the use of Minix. So it was necessary to write the Linux
kernel from scratch.
The Linux operating system provides all the features that users and
administrators should expect from any modern, high-performance
operating system. Many of these features have been a part of Linux and
stable for years. While the developers of various, so-called popular
operating systems claim to be innovating, they are only playing catch
up with Linux. As this document is being written, Linux is increasing
its lead with the
development on the 2.5.x series developmental/experimental kernels.
3.1 The Kernel
The Kernel is the core of the operating system. That is the part that
communicates with devices, handles memory management, schedules
processes, and provides other basic services to the systems utility
software, user utility software and applications software. Thanks to
the fact that the kernel handles the hardware and provides a uniform
view of it to higher level software, regardless of your hardware
platform, Linux will present the user with a uniform environment. That
means that once you as a user of Linux learn to run it on a PC, or a
Mac, or a minicomputer, or a mainframe computer you will be able to
sit down to use Linux on any other of the supported platforms, and
feel right at home. The hardware may look and feel different such as a
different key layout or a different pointing device, but Linux
knowledge is portable across hardware platforms. Members of the team
that produced this document can attest to this, through their first
hand experience on multiple hardware platforms running Linux.
Many versions of the Linux kernel have been released, in fact since
the release of the Linux kernel version 1.0.0 in there have been over
600 official main line kernels released, including the AC series of
Linux kernels there have been almost 900 releases in that time. The
reason for so many releases has to do with the development of the
kernel being an open process, this way you don't have to wait for
months or years for a needed patch to be provided or for a feature
that you really need to be made available.
3.9 Linux's Compatibility With Other Operating System
Linux is compatible at different levels with many other operating
systems, ranging from the networking level all the way to running the
same software.
3.9.1 Compatible With Windows
Linux can run Windows software by running that software under the
actual Windows operating system (requiring a properly licensed copy of
Windows) that is in turn running as a guest operating system in a PC
emulator such as VMware. Linux can also run Windows software on Linux
itself with an implementation of the Windows Application Programming
Interface (API) via Wine. It is also possible to compile the source
code for Windows based
software on Linux and link it against the Wine libraries to produce a
Linux executable of that Windows software. One note about Wine, Wine
can only run on PC style hardware, since it is not a PC emulator
hardware, and runs the Windows software directly on the underlying
Linux can provide network printers and act as a fileserver for Windows
computers by running Samba using TCP/IP networking. You can also use
MarsNWE to provide printers and network volumes using IPX/SPX
networking. Linux can also access shares and printers provided by
computers running Windows by the use of Samba and the Samba
filesystem. Linux can also be a file, and print server to Windows
clients by using Samba. Linux machines
can access Windows machines that are emulating NetWare file servers by
using the NetWare core protocol filesystem.
Linux can read and write to Windows hard drive partitions that use the
filesystems of MS-DOS and Windows 9x. The NTFS filesystem are a bit
problematic because of their nature and they way their specifications
change from version to version. Linux can read Windows NT, Windows
2000, and Windows XP NTFS partitions well; however, writing directly
to such partitions is possible but not recommended.
There is an indirect method for Linux to read and write to NTFS
partitions. Running Windows under a PC emulator such as VMware, give
that copy of Windows access to the NTFS partition or partitions and
have that copy of Windows running as a fileserver. Then let Linux
access the fileserver through a virtual or actual network connection.
Linux understands the Windows extensions to the CD-ROM standards.
Linux can both read them and generate them. Linux can also access
Windows diskettes and other disk media, either by mounting them as any
other Linux partition can be mounted, or by the use of the mtools.
3.9.3 Compatible With MacOS
Linux can provide network printers and act as a fileserver for
Macintosh computers. Linux can access Macintosh based print servers
and fileserver.
Linux can read and write Macintosh floppies, hard drives, and other
disk media.
3.10 Linux Leaves Users Wanting Less
From them 1950's through the 1970's users would expect their computers
to operate as specified in the manuals and the specification sheets.
The POP manuals (Principal of Operations manuals) and the rest of the
documentation of those computers were considered to be faithful
representations of the operations of those computers.
There was one computer that was installed in 1964, the organization
that owned it decommisioned it in 1984, and wanted to donate it to a
college computer science department but they had lost the installation
media of the machine's operating system. The computer was running
twenty-four hours a day and seven days a week for those twenty years
without a single reboot or any down time. There were components that
had failed: individual tape drives and card readers/punches had worn
out and were replaced, CRT terminals were added and the most of the
card readers, the old model 26 keypunch stations and most of the model
29 keypunch stations were retired. Disk drives were added to that
computer years after the initial installation, None of that needed any
downtime or reboots.
In the 1970's there was the development of microprocessors and
microcomputers, most of them matched their operating systems in what
ever form they came in and were as reliable as the computers of the
prior decade. Some of the hardware was problematic but the operating
systems would generally operate as specified.
In the early 1980's something started to change. Today many users have
come to accept and even expect their computers and operating system to
fail frequently, many shops now use regular reboot cycles as an
attempt to use pre-emptive reboots to avoid crashes at unexpected
times. They have come to expect their operating systems and systems
software and applications software to not work as documented. What is
even worse, they often see nothing wrong with that madness. In prior
decades, if such undependability and unreliability were experienced, it
would not have not been acceptable and the vendor would have to replace
those useless systems and often had to pay for the customer's losses as
Now flash forward to present day, users have come to expect very
little from their computers. Such poor performance has led them to
expect less and less while wanting more and more with little prospect
of getting it. But in addition to such unreliable operating systems,
there is Linux, leaving its users wanting less and less because it
provides more and more all the time.
* A stable operating system. Linux users no longer want for a
stable operating system because Linux is as stable operating system.
Twenty four hours, seven days a week non-stop operation for years at
a time with off the shelf PC hardware is not anything unusual for
Linux. As members of the FAQ and Primer team can attest to from
personal experience.
* An operating system that doesn't require me to spend a fortune on
new hardware. Linux can run on hardware with just the computing power
needed or that is available. Linux sysadmins upgrade to more powerful
hardware to have more power available for their users, not to regain
yesterday's performance from today's operating system.
* An operating system with a decent graphical user interface.
Or rather one that can be configured to work the way you want it too.
With the look and feel you seek. Linux does not actually have any
graphical user interfaces, but the X Windowing System is commonly run
on Linux and other unixes. There are also other graphical user
interface besides the X Window System that can run on Linux, including
some next generation test bed systems. If a Linux user wishes he can
run today a user interface that won't be available elsewhere for years
or even decades, that is if he likes to live on the bleeding edge.
* An operating system with lots of useful stuff built in. Much of
what a person needs to purchase to get some other operating systems to
be useful comes with the common Linux distributions. Sometimes in
surprising ways, such as the little program named "cat" that
concatenates files and is the more powerful original that the DOS
command "type" was copied from. The program "cat" also provides by
itself much of the functionality of Norton Ghost.
* An operating system that doesn't try to prevent me from using my
computer. Linux does not second guess or interfere with the human
decision making process. It respects the wisdom of the human sysadmin
and the user. There are utilities available to automate that, but in
the end humans are the bosses. There has been a call for more "Windows
like" automation to take over from human authority, one distribution
that used that philosophy was Corel Linux. It is now a hated
distribution by its own users as a result.
* An OS not prone to viral infections.
While in theory no operating system can be 100% all worms and viruses,
Linux by is nature is immune enough that the possibilities that such
little beasties exist have become like urban legends in the Linux
community. Even if such infections could target Linux, the
multifaceted code base would in itself limit the spread, if a sysadmin
selects the software to run without regard to distributions and does
not use precompiled binaries, he has just increased the level of
immunity of his systems. The worst an attacking worm could do is crash
a server program, but the worm creator could not actually control
anything with the worm because he could not predict the memory layout
of the program he is attacking on systems so independent from
distributions. That same would generally be true with binaries
supplied from a different distribution or different version than the
one he is targeting.
* An operating system which I can program and hack easily
Anyone can have access to the source code of the Linux kernel and
most if not all the programs they run on Linux. If one is a
programmer, Linux provides all the tools and the source code to add or
alter any feature he pleases. If he wants to write a new program and
has questions, about the operation of the library functions, or the
kernel, he can refer to the documentation, ask for help on-line, or
just read the applicable source code. If he has a device for which he
want to create a driver for, he can write it. If he wants to see how
similar drivers work, there is the Linux kernel source code and the
code of the other drivers available.
* An operating system which doesn't decay over time.
Since the late days of DOS programs and the coming of Window NT and
Windows 95, there has been a pheonoma known as software rot, also
known as bit rot. With late DOS programs it could take an individual
program on a production system out of commission needing to be
reinstalled. Windows 95 and Windows NT elevated the software rot
phenomenon from causing the decay of individual programs to the decay
of the entire operating system. This is not a factor with Linux.
All these items are things that Linux users are not wanting for any
longer, because Linux has given to them what they have been wanting
for up to a decade. So yes, Linux leaves its users wanting less,
because it provides so much more of what they have been hoping for
from their prior operating system.

--"Stability is the number-one concern and our operations span the
region, so there is always someone using the systems," Wheatley
said. "We've had 100 percent uptime with Linux and management
notices the difference."
Arrow is using CentOS, a Red Hat derivative, as its main Linux
distribution with "a couple of legit copies of Red Hat where we
can't afford the downtime, for example with CRM".
"We've had IBM techs come out and I didn't tell them it wasn't
Red Hat and they went ahead and updated it as if it was,"
Wheatley said, adding the company was severely over-licensed with
Microsoft products and even bought them to ensure its 'safety'.

Many students utilize the libraries in their schools and communities every day, but they do not consult the greatest sources of information in libraries the people who work there.
Typically students ask librarians, librarian assistants and pages about the location of books, ignoring the fact that these people have had interesting experiences working in libraries that could provide them with unique knowledge.
A few weeks ago, I asked my school librarian at Immaculata Academy, Sharon Moore, if I could borrow a copy of USA Today for my senior research paper. After finding a copy of the paper for me, she said, "I used to be a personal research librarian for Al Neuharth, the founder of USA Today, the Freedom Forum and the Newseum in Washington, D.C."
Awestruck by Moore's connection to a man who has made significant contributions to journalism, I realized that there was probably a lot of fascinating information about Moore that my classmates and I did not know about. Inspired by my brief conversation with Moore that day, I decided to expose the secret life of the high school librarian.
With a master's degree in library science and more than 20 years working in public, corporate and academic libraries, Moore believes there are many negative stereotypes associated with librarians.
"Students often assume we are crabby old women in sensible shoes determined to protect our precious domain of books; quite the opposite is true," Moore said. "The library does not belong to me. It belongs to all of us."
Admitting that she was the kid who read encyclopedias in school, Moore became a librarian due to her love of books and the opportunity to learn something new every day by consulting books, co-workers and students.
When she started checking books in and out for a small public library in 1989 in Michigan, Moore never could have imagined all the places her career has taken her. In 2002, she moved to Buffalo to work as a corporate librarian for the defense contractor General Dynamics. At this position, she had the opportunity to work with rocket scientists conducting extensive research concerning radar techniques and aerospace engineering. Moore said the crash test dummies used in vehicle safety tests were invented in Buffalo and before crash test dummies were created, cadavers were often used.
According to Moore, working for Freedom Forum, an organization dedicated to free press and speech rights, was one of her most exciting jobs. Sometimes Neuharth would call Moore to ask her random questions for his weekly column "Plain Talk," such as the number of first-graders registered as home-school students for a particular year.
From 2006 to 2008, Moore worked for the Newseum in Washington. She researched historical information for exhibits because "every single word, date and fact must be checked from two reliable sources and neither could be from the Internet."
At the Newseum, Moore is most proud of the 80-foot-long timeline of Pennsylvania Avenue on the Hank Greenspun Terrace that she researched extensively and helped create. This exhibit ranks on the top nine list of exhibits at the Newseum, according to the tourist website, the Now Pass.
When asked what advice she wants students to know about libraries, she said, "There is an entire world of information that is not available on the Internet."
Moore also encourages aspiring librarians to "follow your dreams, but always have a back-up plan. Never pass up an opportunity to expand your horizons."
If you are looking for a nice, peaceful place to work that is not stressful, working in a library may be the job for you.
Jessica Weiss, a senior at Immaculata, also works in a library. For the past seven months, Jessica has worked as a page, a person who sorts through books and puts them away, at the Hamburg Public Library.
She says her favorite part of the job is seeing all of the different people who use the library.
Jessica believes the biggest misconception about libraries is that they are outdated and strictly for adults. She explains that libraries have activities for people of all ages and are constantly updated with new books, magazines and movies. There is even a new system for people who forget to return their library books on time. Using a PIN number provided by your local library, some library users can renew their books online and check to see when their books are due.
After talking with Moore and Jessica, it appears there is more to libraries than just the books. Next time you are in a library, take the time to talk to your librarian or page because you never know what you might learn from the people who know your library the best.
Katlyn Grasso is a senior at Immaculata Academy.

Forget corn and soybeans. These days, water appears to be the cash crop of choice in northern Chester County.
Recently, Michael and Janet Polay decided to jump into the profitable spring-water market by filing a curative amendment in West Vincent Township. If approved, it would allow them to withdraw up to 100,000 gallons a day from a spring on their property on St. Andrews Road. The first hearing on the amendment is set for April 7 in the Ludwigs Corner Fire Hall.

From the very earliest times, disease has struck fear into people. New diseases arise and cause havoc, as the recent outbreak of H1N1swine flu shows only too clearly.
The ability to find and manufacture a medicine which has the right effect in the right place is of vital importance in the fight against disease. Think of the impact that antibiotics have had on infectious diseases – illnesses that were life threatening seventy years ago are treated easily with a course of antibiotics today.
The pharmaceutical industry has responded to the work of the Human Genome Project with great enthusiasm. Detailed knowledge of the human genome is already making possible a number of potentially exciting advances in different areas of medicine development. The application of genetics is expected to produce more powerful medicines. This is because medicines can be designed to target specific diseases, or to respond to changes in the proteins or genetic material of the cells. Knowing the human genome it will be easier to produce medicines which affect pathogens or cancer cells but which do not damage healthy body cells. In addition in the future it is hoped medicines could be tailor-made to suit each of us as individuals.
If medicines can be designed to work with our individual genetic makeup then they should work more effectively, in lower doses, with fewer side effects. The new science of pharmacogenetics has been developed to put together pharmaceutical expertise with the new knowledge of the human genome.
Research has already shown that genetic factors have a marked effect on the effectiveness of certain medicines. For example, medicines called kappa opioids appear to be much more effective pain killers in women than in men; pale skinned red haired women are more responsive to common analgesics than anyone else; and ibuprofen has little or no effect on pain relief in women during the second half of their menstrual cycle.
More detailed knowledge of our individual genetics which will come from the findings of the Human Genome Project is predicted to have enormous benefits in terms of medicine development through pharmacogenetics.
But what are the possible benefits of pharmacogenetics?
Understanding the human genome should make it much easier to prescribe the right medicine for a patient straight away. It is estimated that in the US around 100,000 people die each year, and 2 million people are hospitalised as a result of being given a medicine which doesn't suit them. If doctors can have access to a patient's genome they will be able to prescribe medication which will work with rather than against their patients. This approach results in personalised medicine, sometimes called stratified medicine.
Another important improvement should be in the dosages of medicines used. Taking the age or weight of a person and using it to decide what dose of a medicine they should be given is a fairly random way of doing things. Genetic information about individuals would allow doctors to work out just how rapidly each person deals with a particular medicine and excretes it from their body. Many people could have much lower doses of medicines, whilst those who need it could be given higher doses.
Advances like these would be of enormous benefit to patients, and they would also save the NHS a great deal of money in medicine wastage and treating people who react badly to the medicine they have been given.

Mustangs Available for Adoption, In-House Adoptions & Sponsorship
There are many ways to help rescue Mustangs. Select from the 3 following options to find the program that works best for you!
1) Adoption
We have many beautiful Mustangs available for adoption. Please see the photos and life stories of these amazing horses below. Please contact Mona today and begin your journey of owning one of America's Wild Horses.
2) In-House Adoptions
If you ever dreamed of having a horse of your own but couldn't, we may be able to to fulfil that dream. Adopters choose their horse. They pay monthly cost of $125.00, which supplies their horse with hay, grain, bedding, wormings, daily care, routine vetting and blacksmith care. Adopters are recognized on the website as well as with their names on a plaque on the stall door, provided updates and pictures and allowed generous scheduled visitations. In-House Adopted horses remain in the custody of Ever After Mustang Rescue and will be guaranteed lifetime care. There is only one in-house adopter per horse.Too expensive? Consider partial or shared adoption. A great gift or group endeavor. Contact us for more information.
3) Sponsorship
Sponsorship of a mustang is a program that you can participate in with others for a lesser amount of money. The minimum monthly sponsorship is $25.00 per month. Each horse can have a maximum of 5 sponsors at $25/month. Sponsors will receive a photo and bio of their horse, updates and scheduled visitations. Sponsors will be recognized on the website and on a plaque on the stall door. If you are interested please contact us for a Placement Agreement or more information.
Looking for a 2016 Adopter
Lucky is a 5 year old chestnut gelding that stands 14 hands and has floating gaits. Sweet and super intelligent, Lucky is eager to learn new things and doing well with ground work. Training will continue as he awaits his "forever home". He will do well wiith an experienced, patient person who would appreciate his talents. Serious potential adopters may participate in his training program.
"Chippy" is a registered "Horse of the Americas", foaled in Missouri in 2005. The dainty 14 hand mustang has good ground manners and some experience under saddle. She is absolutely ready for a "forever home" and a human partner with time and patience to spend with her.
In-house adopter: Pleshette Johnson.
Has been adopted.
Captain, a 9 yr. old Bay, was siezed as an 8 yr old stallion by humane officials in NY and sent to a local rescue, where he was gelded. The rescue restored his weight and health and then called us to further his training. In a scale of grades K through 12, he is probably an 8th grader and he will require an experienced and patient handler to bring him to his full potential. This intelligent, willing horse will, without a doubt, respond to the right person. Captain is starting saddle work.
Charlotte is a 24 yr old, big boned 15h bay mare, came to the rescue at the age of 17, had never been handled but has learned to trust and love humans and can be groomed and led. She has been ridden and we think she likes it! She is very social and could be your best friend as well as a great companion horse.
Charlotte's sponsor is Kristen Potter in memory of Marianne Potter.
Grace, a 16 yr old black mare, was found at the Camelot auction by a N.J. rescue, who outbid the "killer buyers" to save her and her unborn foal. Only later did they realize she was a mustang and shortly after she foaled they asked us to take them, gentle and train mom and find them both a good home. This 15H mare is now in a regular training program and doing very well with groundwork. She is very intelligent and responsive and would welcome a human partner who has the experience and time to continue her training.
In-house adopter: Marsha Squibb.
Phoenix arrived at rescue Nov. 21, 2008. She had been taken into custody by humane officials and at that time was unable to be haltered and led. The Government freeze brand revealed her history to the point of adoption in 2001. She had been captured as a 5 year old in 2000 in Sands Spring, Oregon and shipped to the Northeast to a satellite adoption. The following years are vague, but thanks to a young "In House" adopter her expenses are being met and we will continue with her gentling and training along with addressing her physical needs. Already we see a weight gain in this 16 hand, 19 year old, chestnut mare. She has been haltered and is leadable. Phoenix could be your next best friend or a companion horse in your pasture. Phoenix is still waiting to be adopted into a permanent home
In-house adopter: Grace and Chloe
We named her Star when she arrived here in Dec. 2002. She was brought here by kind adopters who could not keep her. Although she had only minimal handling she was trusting and in excellent shape. Her color is light Bay with a white star. She is approx 14.3-15 hands. She had been captured in the Calico Mountains Herd Management Area, near Gerlach, NV. on Dec.18, 2000 at 2 years old. Now at 16 years she still has many years to give to a special person who can appreciate her kind, gentle nature. Are you her person?
Sponsored by Carolyn Sherman.
Hali - light riding would be good for her!
Registered name, Brilliant Disguise. She is a Registered Half Arabian, Half Trakhener cross. This 24 yr.old chestnut mare has done it all, well broke and ridden regularly, but now deserves a life of loving care, with light to moderate riding and plenty of pasture time. She is high-spirited and needs an experienced rider. Due to her age and a weakness in her hocks she can only be lightly ridden. She is good for the farrier.
Photo on the right is Hali's Sire, Zauberklang ATA OSB -E-S192
Long-Term ResidentsSponsors – each horse can have a maximum of 5 at $25/month.
In-house Adopters – one per horse, at $125/month.
I am a 17 year old mare. My soft brown eyes are kind and gentle, although I am still a little distrustful. I am a beautiful liver chestnut with a flaxen tail and mane.I can lift my feet for the blacksmith and tolerate saddling, however my physical abilities are limited due to allergies and respiratory problems.
My previous home named me Maude. I am a big sturdy mare at 15h. I have been ridden western for most of my 28 years but still need to learn a lot about ground manners and needs a refresher course undersaddle. I have plenty of energy and lots of good years ahead but due to my age will live the remainder of my years here at the rescue.
In-house adopter: Wendy Harris
Cheyenne is a 15 year old bay mare with a real presence. She was captured September 19th, 2000 in the Delamar Mountains of Nevada. Although she has been with us awhile, she has been slow to respond and is now in a structured training program with Chris Lombard. Although very distrusting and fearful, she is very sweet and kind.
Sponsored by: Andrea Acomb and Geraldine Bertoni.
Destiny arrived here Feb. 17, 2009 from a dealer in Maine. She was frightened and aggressive, but settled in well with the other horses. Her freeze brand revealed her history: foaled in 1998 in the Monte Cristo HMA. She was gathered as a yearling on 1-26-99 and adopted a few months later on 5-22-99. The next 10 years are lost to us . Only Destiny knows what her life was like. We only see her at present as fearful and distrusting, although there are moments of curiosity and a desire to be nearer to us. She is now accepting of us and allowing petting and light grooming. We will continue to work with her to further her training and trust in humans.
In-house adopter: Elizabeth Hunter Engel
Last Chance known to us as LC has a very interesting past. She was captured in the Twin Peaks Horse Management Area, CA on 7-26-01 at the age of 6 yrs. old. On 2-11-02 she was shipped to a maintenance facility where she was processed and branded again on the hip for easy identification. She remained in holding until purchased by a buyer in Florida on 5-26-06. The next step would have been transport to Mexico and slaughter, except for the intervention of a dedicated wild horse advocate. She came to Maine April of 2007 for training through a NE effort to find her a worthy home. (There is another whole story in here for any interested persons), but to continue, she responded well to training and was under saddle by the following July. LC appeared at the BLM booth at the Equine Affaire in Nov. 07 and placed very soon after. Sadly, she became lame with the increase of work. X-rays showed she had foundered at some earlier time and had some deformities of the coffin bone. With time and trimming to compensate, she has to the surprise of our vet, remained sound. Addendum: LC's earlier adopter chose another horse and they are both enjoying each other. They have appeared in local horse shows and can be seen at our "Mustangs in Motion" in August.

Jazz is a handsome 14 year old gelding born in captivity. His sire being a mustang and his mother a POA, he definitely shows the best of both breeds. His winter coat is pure white with black mottling around his mouth and nose, but shedding out reveals large black spots on the skin surface of his chest and sides. Truly unique. At 14 hands his mustang heritage reveals a stocky, solid body, strong durable legs and great hooves. It was very hard for us to accept that we were seeing changes in him. Our veterinarian has confirmed that Jazz is now totally blind. He has, however, been "adopted" by Grant, who has become his seeing eye mule who helps him negotiate the pasture.
In-house adopter: Dr. Sarah Denning-Bolle
Foxfire, or Foxy, is 27 yrs old. He was adopted in 1987 to a lovely home at a year old, but was later surrendered when his owner/rider grew to adulthood. He has been part of our Youth Program and has made many public appearances. Foxfire stands at 14 hands, weighing about 700 lbs, a beautiful chestnut with one white sock and a white star on his forehead. His eyes are soft and kind and he loves attention and grooming.

Grant, 18 yrs old, was born in captivity from a mustang mare (Charlotte) and a burro on August 13, 1996 in New York. He was brought to this rescue along with his mother; neither having had any previous handling. Mom did very well with training. After some serious attempts to train Grant, he decided to remain independent. Not all of us ever fit in "the box" we're given. So it is with Grant. He lives happily here, going out daily with friends and coming into his stall every night. We will honor this special guy and enjoy what he has to offer, especially his gift of guidance to Jazz.

Cassidy, 26 yrs old, was foaled in 1987 in Bluewing Mountains, Nevada, near Gerlach. He was captured as a baby and made his way east through a satelitte adoption and was later surrendered to us. He participates in our outreach and youth programs. Cassidy is an extremely lovable mustang.
In-house adopter: Harris & Sharon Neckers
Cherokee, 29 yrs old, has always been our "hard luck kid". Born here out of a mustang mare as a complete surprise on March 31, 1984 he soon showed signs of clubbed front feet. Surgery and years of corrective shoes followed with 90% success. He grew to a handsome 15h seal brown gelding and joined our mustang drill team. He served as an ambassador and made many public appearances. During this time he had numerous treatments for cancerous growths around his face. The latest was very close to the left eye and had invaded bone. This wonderful horse that has given so much to so many will live the remainder of his life with us in comfort. He continues to eat well, all systems functioning and is turned out daily with friends. When this is no longer possible, we will help him cross the "rainbow bridge".

Ginger, 21 yrs old, got the attention of a whole city when she required surgery for fractured bones in her knee. The entire community came together to finance necessary surgery and follow-up care. Her recovery is complete and although pain free, she is left with a slight limp. Thus, she will require lifetime care here.
Our Ambassadors
Chase joined Chalupa this past year to represent their breed and welcome both young and old to Ever After Mustang Rescue. Their playful and comedic antics delight all, but they are also well mannered enough to give pony rides. They help remind us of the thousands of burro's needing homes. We think everyone should adopt one. Besides great pets, they make reliable guard animals for sheep and goat herds.
Remington has been with us almost 3 years. He was a bold, willful and unpredicable horse, needing consistent handling and training. As his training progressed, he was taken to venues to introduce the public to wild horses. He had found his niche. At present he has appeared at retirement homes, allowing wheelchairs by his side, and at day care centers where he has given pony rides to the children. He even appeared at the gala event at the Seaside Trolley Museum as the Headless Horseman. Remington will help us bring awareness to the thousands of wild horses needing a chance at a home and a job.
BraveHeart, now 19 yrs old, was foaled on March 30, 1997 in captivity at the Litchfield Corrals in Lassen, CA. He was shipped to Cross Plains, TN for adoption on September 15, 1998 where he was determined blind. He was adopted and then brought to Ever After Mustang Rescue, for possible lifetime care. Braveheart has since grown into a handsome 16 hand blue roan that our vet does not believe is blind. His bold and strong personality requires consistent and firm care along with plenty of love. He now serves as an ambassador, where you can see him at many events.
This 14.2 hand beauty is the newest addition to our Ambassador team. She came to us described as a "fearful, frightened, nervous and high anxiety" horse. We are pleased with the progress she has made and have incorporated her into some programs for inexperienced persons to work with her. Now she will begin to make public appearances to represent her breed. When she is able to meet all criteria, she will be seeking a "forever home".

Thanks Aaron. :) Laurie
I'm glad to see more people are thinking about QR codes. I think they're incredibly cool and have a ton of potential. But I've been struggling with several questions as I try to find library applications?
1. Do enough people understand what they are?
2. Do those people have the proper equipment to take advantage of them?
3. What then?
I'd love to brainstorm ideas with other interested librarians/service designers.

I worked on the presentation over a month-long period, all the while thinking, "I'm not sure why I'm putting this together. I don't think it's going to go anywhere." However, just days before I gave my presentation Google announced they'd be sending out 100,000 QR Code stickers to businesses (like restaurants) to affix to their front entrances. Now I'm thinking, "This might actually go somewhere…" In order to become popular we need more corporate interest (like Google) or we need cell phone providers to have the QR code reading software uploaded at the point of sale (which they do in Japan).
I have seen these somewhere in a magazines, didn't know what they were for before :)

94 Points | Stephen Tanzer's IWC - January/February 2009
Brilliant gold. Rich aromas of apricot pit, blackcurrant and smoky botrytis. Sumptuous tropical fruit flavors coat the palate, with the wine's chewy texture leavened by salty spice. Dense yet elegant, and very long on the finish.

This is gopinath buddi. I ordered online Vespro Vp-ip710 Tablet Pc – ( Ref No: 21620041). But at first they sent me defect piece, then i sent it back to their address with my own cost. Actually marketing people explained that i will get Vespro Vp-ip710 Tablet Pc, Rebock Watch and Key Pad. But i didnt get those instead of good one i got defect piece. So these people are simply cheating us. So please consider this my complaint and do some favor to me.
