A Real Solution In Cyprus
A real solution in Cyprus would be for the Turkish Republic of North Cyprus to maintain its existence as an independent state, to further strengthen its ties with Turkey and to implement firm policies to enhance the Cypriot people's national and spiritual awareness.
In the last few months, the question of Cyprus has been put before Turkey as a condition for its long-awaited membership in the EU. In spite of the fact that membership in the EU and the Cyprus question are two different issues, some countries such as Greece and Britain have claimed that they are related and have made the serious mistake of moving to put them on the agenda in a single package.

]Hey girls,
I have managed to get baby back to breast from the bottle. He nursed 7 times yesterday, only accepted the bottle once after nursing. (Dad feeds him once before bedtime w/ bottle I pump to store.) He pooped a little yesterday, just slightly runny. He ususally only goes once a week.
Problem is he is slipping down onto the nipple. Latch starts great, flow is great, lots of active sucking and swallowing for at least 10 mins on one breast. Some feeds were longer yesterday, 15 mins, if sleepy 20 or more. He seems satisified. His diaper this morning was very wet and heavy w/ urine was like the color of apple juice though - I thought this might be because there was so much together it made the urine look darker? Urine yesterday was pretty clear, all diapers were wet, some more than others. (he pees when he gets his bath too)
I am nervous about him not getting enough hindmilk as I have an oversupply since I have just been pumping up until recently. I usually pump after most feeds, yesterday I skipped two pumpings so he could go back and start nursing from the same breast. Worked well. This morning though, I had to pump afterwards or I would have been in bad shape. (Offered bottle afterwards as he only nursed 10 min. didn't want it) How can I make sure he gets the hindmilk? My book says your MER is what releases this from the breasts, and is usually identified by a lot of milk flow and lots of swallowing. I always have that!? It also says MER is effected by stress and pain, (including sore nipples). Nipples are just now getting sore. Not terrible though. No cracks or bleeding and using Lanolin.
PS Using clutch hold to keep baby's head as still as possible and close to the breast to try to prevent slipping. Supporting breast w/ sandwich or U hold.
Any hints? I have thought about calling Pedi today, taking for weight check today and next Friday for reference?

An exceptional draftsman, Edward Hagedorn briefly attended the San Francisco School of Fine Arts before turning his attention to the groundbreaking art that was being exhibited in the Bay Area. In 1926, while Hagedorn was still honing his craft, Galka Scheyer, the collector, dealer and champion of European modernism, mounted an extremely influential exhibition at the Oakland Art Gallery on the artists known as the "Blue Four." The works by Lyonel Feininger, Alexei Jawlensky, Vasily Kandinsky and Paul Klee made a great impression on Hagedorn, and he immediately embraced the expressionist qualities he found there. Hagedorn's bold colors and simplification of forms speak directly to lessons learned from the European modernists, but his content, as evidenced here, often
remains traditional in nature. His dedication to figurative subjects, and above all, to the female nude, remained constant throughout his career, and his accomplished style led Scheyer to repeatedly request that he submit work to her exhibitions. Hagedorn always refused because, according to a close friend, he was an artist who "had no use for success."

Ah heck, I loved it! Now I get some really cool pics of Rodgers, some I haven't seen before;-). Seriously, I'm a Packers fan anyway so as far as I'm concerned it's more a Go Pack! tribute than anything else. BTW, I also love the Niners because of Kaepernick (those ESPN body photos, who wouldn't?) so it will be tough to cheer against the Niners. Too bad they're both in the same conference!
@boxjelly: VERY creepy and quite obnoxious too. If he actually is gay, things like this would probably be exactly why he'd wanna stay as far away from this community as possible. I wouldn't blame him either.
Shitty misjudged post weirdly almost entrirely recovered near end but not quite.
Who wrote this crap. Why doesn't queerty ever have a by line? Because it isn't journalism. It's just endless tawdry shit. Maybe with the coin you are making off your fellow gays you could spend a little less time in Cabo and make something out of this site. Way to go "editor". Not!
actually, his 'beard' is better!
The most disgusting thing in this story is not his cowardice but this mustache which makes him look like he's 50
Queerty this is turning into online harassment now.Put your wishful thinking aside. The man has said he is NOT gay.Deal with it and leave him alone. You're giving all of us a bad name.
Tackle, Tom Daley said he's NOT gay just a few months ago ;)
You've got to remember that there is a very strong bias against male-male sexuality in America today. Let's forget the over-used "gay" notion and instead concentrate on "male-male sexuality" . The latter is a much more effective expression because it takes the homosexual act out of the distorting realm of the gay rights movement.
The reason there is so much bias against male-male sexuality is women. Women are opposed to anything which takes away their power as women. Male-male sexuality does exactly that.
If a woman's husband or boyfriend can turn to men if she doesn't put out for him, it means that she is no longer powerful. Her ability to use sex as a weapon is totally destroyed.
@ho: Bylines are at the bottom of stories. Just scroll up a bit.
@Tackle: I agree. Yes, he's very pretty, but I think this obsession is unnecessary. He says he's straight so they should be respectful and drop the articles.
If he's straight then what's the harm in discussing the rumors that he's gay?
@Scott Gatz: Don't bother Scott. We're all just here to bitch and complain.
@Scott Gatz: Well done.

I hope that laudatory sentiment was nonetheless conveyed Mr. Gatz, despite my sophomoric forays into (what can sometimes eventuate in effed-up) formatting.
All the pictures are great, except for the ones with the fishes in it. I know – misogynistic.
This was the weirdest, stalkerish SWIMFAN/FATAL ATTRACTION shit ever!
P.S., Queerty: HE ISNT THAT HOT!
@PRINCE OF SNARKNESS aka DIVKID: We should give you executive powers – and have you do the first post on each 'story' (used loosely, in the same manner that Queerty.com is a 'news website' and the people that post here are 'authors' and 'editors'), because your TL;DR one liner summed it up perfectly!
What would be the problem with him being closeted? I mean, if he is homosexual and even if he was dating Lanflisi, privately – and didn't want to risk his career, but yet did not do anything to harm the community (as per his interviews that I have read – he seems like a genuinely nice, and caring guy – at least one that is quite intelligent – and I am sure, intelligent enough to know what would happen if he did attempt to hurt the community with his words) – then why not just let him be? Why – in this case – the incessant need to out him?
I also have to wonder – why out an athlete with the ominous title of "First LGBT Athlete in their prime" – and not wonder why very few people would want that title. It's a great world out there – yes, we can marry in some states (and it's growing) – yes, the world is becoming more and more accepting – but if you were him, were you willing to bet your career on it? That's what I imagine it must feel like to any of the athletes in that sphere right now – coming out might be disastrous for your career. How many endorsements will you lose? How many might your gain – and what is the caliber of those newer endorsements? How would/could this affect team morale? How would this affect the organization – and it's relationship to certain sponsors? How close is he to retirement – can he just wait it out? What about the fallout with family? All of these, albeit to you; the many of you that are out and proudly so – may seem trivial and perhaps even crazed – but it's not if you are in the closet, and your relationships to your players, your family, your sponsors and your club – may be challenged by the choice to come out. Go back to the time before you came out – the anguish, the uncertainty – and play this scenario in your head – and if indeed this man is a homosexual, I think that you'll begin to see why it may indeed be wiser (at least in his mind) to stay in the closet – and why demanding that he come out – could hurt both him and us as a community.
Queerty's swooning over this guy is beyond pathetic now.
"Rodgersgate" Love it! Very flattering photo tribute to Aaron.
Whatever his sexual orientation or whomever he is or has been romantically involved with, he is most likely not concerned with any of the rumors Queerty or any other site is posting about him. He knows his truth whatever it is and that's what really matters.
Aaron Rodgers' girlfriend has an ugly tattoo on the lower part of her back which makes her look butch. I would not be surprised if she's a butch lesbian who has been paid to act as Aaron's beard. Lesbians are known to accept cash to act as covers – or beards- for men whose sexuality is questioned.
Can you imagine having sex with this butch-looking woman? It would be a gross experience in my view. Aaron needs to think about going back to Kevin.
@litper: He's a coward for not coming out when you want him too (though he says he's not gay)? Man, I guess we should call millions of teens across the country gay, as well as young adults. I myself wasn't able to come out til about 6 months ago. I'm 24 and still wasn't a fucking cake walk.
@charwegl: to*
he can also play the guitar http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WPyXiA7a-3E the look on the interviewers face the entire time is priceless
@aces1218: and he knows what he's doing hahaha
This gay-stalking of masculine straight males has to stop…too creepy Queerty!….
yea loose the Magnum moustache…not work'n fer ya!
Everyone needs to come out in their own time. Now saying this my question is more about Kevin. Does anyone know if he is out?
The attention given to Aaron is not going to make it welcoming for another sports star to come out. I am looking forward to this becoming a non issue but because no one who while playing in a major sport has come out makes this an issue.
Aaron is a very popular celebrity. Whether we like it or not he has to think of how this will effect him finacially. This might not be something we want to acknowledge but money speaks. These so-called Christians will call for a boycot of all of his endorsements. I am sure he is thinking about this as well as the effect this will have with the team. Players are taught their is no I in team and coming out for any sports star does draw attention.
Another question is can he or whoever comes out deal with this mentally? Does he have the right support system ready to deal with the attention? Many of us do not have the public attention of a celebrity in coming out. To us it is no big deal. Already we read about how his father reacted. Has Aaron, if he is gay, talked to his family about this and how this will effect them or even how this will effect Aaron with his father? This is why for all of us it is such a personal issue.
The next question is do they own it to our community to come out? Depending on the celebrity I have mix feelings. If the celebrity is doing us harm there is no question to outing a celebrity but asking Aaron or others to come out because we want them to is this fair to them?
Aaron has to be ready, if he is in fact gay in coming out. It isn't just about being a celebrity but about his income, his family, his team and being able to deal with all the attention that has nothing to do with throwing a football.
As for Kevin let's say he is gay. Have we made it so by all this attention made it more difficult for a straight sports personality to hang out with a gay person?
There are many issues in this Aaron Rogergate (as Queety refers to)
GAY? or not……………and ALL the bears said, "Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr" He can eat crackers in my bed ANYTIME!!

My first child is due November 17th and I want to know how soon after delivery I should start nursing. If anyone knows or has an experience to share please let me know.
Congratulations!! And welcome to the forum!
You'll want to put your babe to breast as soon as you possibly can. I let my doctor know ahead of time that all the weighing, tests, etc. had to wait at least two hours so that I could spend that most important and precious time bonding with my baby. She was nursing within 2 minutes ... I helped the doctor "pull her out," and she started breastfeeding just minutes later, never leaving my arms. After a couple hours they weighed her and did some tests, and after that she barely left my arms again except when I had to share her with daddy (I kept her in my bed with me, much to the nurses horror).
Dr. Sears has great information on nursing immediately after the birth of your baby:
(See this link for more info on latching on and sucking in the just born baby)
He states:
Both mother and baby benefit from being in contact immediately after birth. Consider these facts from research on in the hour or two after birth:
Studies show that newborns who have early contact with their mothers learn to latch on more efficiently than babies who are separated from their mothers in the hour or two following birth.
This is a time when baby will be in a state of quiet alertness, the optimal behavior state for interaction with you. Her eyes are wide open, she is attentive and is looking for another set of eyes - and for the breast.
Remarkable films of newborns after birth have shown that babies draped over mother's abdomen make crawling motions toward the breast and often find their target with minimal assistance.
Give your baby your full attention during this precious time. Gaze into her face, let her hear the voices of her parents that she learned to recognize already in the womb. Drape baby over your chest, tummy to tummy, cheek to breast, skin to skin. Your helpers can cover baby with a warm towel, and your body heat will keep him warm better than any elaborate hospital equipment.
It's so incredible that your little one knows exactly what to do. My little girl started to try and nurse through my gown, latching on before I had a chance to get it off! Nursing that first time was such a beautiful, life changing experience.

Asap! GOod for you for wanting to start right away - it is best... I'd suggest giving your doc.. but more importantly the nurses the heads up as well as your hubby or sig. other - doula etc as they can be useful in the nursery to remind the nursing staff that you're a nursing mom...
Just a few thoughts.. I am sure other mamas will come by and give other info!!
good luck - happy pushing

It was a great experience- I'm sure it will be for you too!
And, hindsight is 20/20 ... goodness, I wish I would have just done away with the gown completely before I even started pushing. Of course, that would have totally scandalized my mother in law when she viewed our birthing pictures (who already believes I'm totally cuckoo).

With respect to nursing ASAP - write a birth plan. Give it to your nurses. Some hospitals will take it in advance. Include in there that you want to nurse ASAP and you want to avoid artificial nipples. PERIOD. If they have it in writing you're not depending on the nurses to relay that info at change of shift. Sample birth plan
It really is amazing. I can remember Emily almost crawling up my stomach to latch on that first time. It was really amazing. So much of your pregnancy you can not witness the miracle of science but as I saw her instinctively head towards her food source ad I realized that my body was busily making colostrum and preparing for milk to come in it blew my mind. It made me feel so primitive and almost like an animal. A weird moment to be thinking, "Wow, I am a mammal." But that was what was going through my mind...

Excitement on the Side: Who doesn't love a confident woman with long boobs...
Here is my story, in short, as an example of a birth plan gone wront .
I had planned on an all natural birth...no meds, baby nursing right away, roomin in, no artificial nipples. I had a plan typed out, and it was very specific. Well...we went in for a nonstress test, because little missy just wasn't in any hurry to enter the world. And the entire pregnancy she had been head down. Until the Saturday before she was born, which was a Wednesday (the same day as the nonstress test). So...we talked about our birth plan, and how it might change with a breech baby (partially transverse breech...undeliverable vaginally in most cases). The hospital where we delivered (and the only one within 70 miles, so changing at that point was not an option) did not allow babies in the recovery room after a C-section. Recovery, with the closing of the C-section takes about 1.5-2 hours. That would mean that she would not be able to nurse for that long .
We decided to wait until I went into labor...which happened about 2 hours after we left the doc's office...just in case she turned back to head down. It didn't happen, and I labored for about 20 hours before we decided on a c-section, and then it was another few hourse before they could get me in the OR.
So...when I finally got Haylee in my arms, she was ravenous...and really wanting to suck. She came out sucking on her thumb and it was in her mouth until my nipple was. And it was okay. It worked out. But it wasn't ideal, by any means. The nurse convince us to give dd a pacifier, because I was exhausted and they took her to the nursery, and I am sure it was for convenience for them, which I don't really understand, because she was fine just sucking on her thumb. But the nurse told us we could take away the binker but not the thumb (BS, in my opinion now...its not any easier and much less atractive to an ap mummy!). Oh well..its there, the nursing worked out and here we are, 9 months later...still going strong.
The point is, to get the baby to the breast as soon as feasible. If that's right away, great, but if its a few hours, that can be successful as well!

I wanted to nurse right away too! And it really is best, but we tried and he wasn't latching and it was just frustrating for both of us. But the good news it that babies are not born starving (so I have been told). Our supportive pedi told us not to worry, so needless to say it was 4 hours later that we finally BF and he did great!
Also a little piece of advice that was helpful to me...Nurses like to chart everything, its their job. So don't feel stressed when they always ask...when did he eat, for how long, when is the last time you fed him, etc, etc. Try to nurse every 2 hours and if he is too sleepy its okay. babies are sleepy. Just try try try. You will be great! Congratulations and good luck!!
La Leche League says "Early and often!"
Most mothers find their babies are very alert during the 2 hours or so after birth. This is the ideal time to try to get baby latched on!

How to tell if your breastfed baby is getting enough milk!
They say it is best to do it immediately, or as soon as you can! I had beautiful fantasies about getting her straight from the birth canal, and beginning to nurse before she was even cleaned... Unfortunately, I ended up getting a c-section and nursed her for the first time about an hour after she was removed, through a haze of drugs.
I hope things go perfectly for you, and don't be intimidated to tell the staff you want your baby right away!

Totally in agreement with you. Married CaCee Cobb last year, has one (crazy adorable!) baby boy with her and 4 with an ex (or maybe 3 with 1 and the fourth with another).

As noted, KFed has six kids by three women. He's consistent, I'll give him that much! So you're looking for 5+ kids from 4+ women, since this person has "about" the same number of kids from more women. I've got nothing. I count on you guys to sort this stuff out!ReplyCancel

possible? yes logical? no who would you keep on the bench and who would you trade to get them? or draft with your 3 picks?
i have a feeling Green is going to College..plus the only names u added were two draft picks and artest/magloire...artest is only paid 6 million a year..magloire is paid around 8.5..how would these trades work?
you have Malik Rose, Mo Taylor, Kurt Thomas, Jerome Williams, Tim Thomas, Trevor Ariza, Jamal Crawford, Allan Houston, Penny Hardaway, Bruno Sundov, Jermaine Jackson, Jackie Butler and one other draft pick...
not trying to rip...im just curious of the moves you would make and who you would keep...
As much as I want Eddy Curry I dont see it happening with the success of Chicago..sooo

text: Hi girls, today is my day for posting questions and I just thought of one more! My 3 mo old is constantly pulling off my nipple and then trying to latch right back on again with a open mouth. He's not crying or anything, and I know it's not that he's full because he'll start it after about 1 to 2 minutes into the feed. He just keeps doing it over and over again, on with one suck then off, over and over and over until I just can't take it anymore. I only have two possible reasons that I want to pass by you: One, I have been off dairy. My son never had blood in his stool, but he was having skin problems, was gassy, and was crying a lot during feeds. I stopped the dairy and it got better (but I always wondered if my stopping was just well timed with his digestive system maturing). Anyway, I've had just little bits of dairy, (I can't tell you how much I love butter), but no big glasses of milk or Culver's Icecream runs. Could this little amount of dairy be causing him just to be a little uncomfortable enough to pull off but not to cry? Second possible reason is that we are really battling with daytime naps. Could major overtiredness be causing him to be SO wired that he just can't relax while eating?

Author's Note: This article details the IRIX binary compatibility implementation for the NetBSD operating system. This includes the creation of a new emulation subsystem inside the NetBSD kernel and a lot of reverse engineering to understand and reproduce how IRIX internals work.
Because this article includes an introduction to all kernel subsystems involved with IRIX binary compatibility, we assume the reader has some experience in user-land Unix programming.
Throughout this article, we reference various NetBSD kernel source files and NetBSD manual pages.
Unix systems have two distinct modes of operation, known as user mode and kernel (or system) mode. In user mode, the operating system (OS) executes code provided by users. It could be a Web browser, a computer-science-student's project, a Web server (in this case, the user running the program is usually the system administrator), and so on. This code is run with limited privileges. It has limited access to the computer's memory, and usually no access at all to the hardware.
When running in kernel mode, the OS is only executing trusted code, which was loaded at boot time. This code is known as the OS kernel. The kernel has full access to the memory and hardware. It is here to provide services to user programs:
User processes call kernel code by issuing a trap. A trap is a hardware or software exception that suspends user process execution, and gives control to kernel code. The kernel will handle the exception, after which it may return to user mode and resume the execution of the user process, or it may destroy the user process. Example of traps are division by zero, memory faults (accessing any virtual addresses where no physical memory is mapped), timer interrupts (that are used to switch between user processes), or requests by the user process to access some resource controlled by the kernel.
These requests can be opening a file, reading from a network
connection, or
creating a new process. The process does this by issuing a system call,
read(2), or
fork(2). The system call is in fact a CPU
instruction that causes a trap.
Here is an example of MIPS assembly to call the
fork(2) system call on
li $v0,2 # 2 is the system call number for fork()
# v0 is the register holding the system call number
syscall # syscall is the CPU instruction to do a system call
On the
syscall instruction execution, the kernel executes a particular
trap handler, which is known as the system call handler. For NetBSD/mips, it
can be found in
sys/arch/mips/mips/syscall.c:syscall_plain(). The system
call handler expects an argument, which is the system call number. The
system call handler uses a table, called the system call table, to look up a
kernel function that will be called in order to complete the system call. On
NetBSD, the system call table for native processes is generated from
System calls are the way a user process requests action from the kernel, but there is also a mechanism used by the kernel to notify the user process of unusual conditions: signals. Signals are issued by various traps and system calls, to notify the process that it raised an exception: memory fault (the famous segmentation fault, well known to students learning C), division by zero and so on.
For each signal, the user process can decide to take default action on
some signals (by default, some signals cause program abortion, other
are simply ignored), to ignore it, or to execute a function called a
handler. This choice is made using the
signal(3) library call or the
sigaction(2) system call.
There is a clean separation between user mode and kernel mode. User processes run on top of the kernel with very little knowledge of what is inside a system call. All they do is issuing system calls, expecting a behavior documented by kernel developers in a set of man pages. Most programs do not care about kernel internals and will just work if you change the kernel, as long as the system call behavior is left unchanged.
This is how NetBSD binary compatibility works. When launching a new
the kernel is able to distinguish between native NetBSD binaries and,
for example Linux or FreeBSD binaries on NetBSD/i386. It will hence
choose an
alternative system call table for this program, which will contain
appropriate entries for the emulated OS. For instance, NetBSD/i386 uses
sys/compat/linux/arch/i386/syscalls.master to provide the system call
table for Linux binaries.
When a Linux binary running on NetBSD does a system call, the NetBSD kernel will run the appropriate function in the Linux system call table. This function emulates the behavior of the Linux system call so that the user program is fooled into thinking that it is running on the Linux kernel whereas it is in fact running on the NetBSD kernel.
Some system calls have the same behavior in NetBSD and in the emulated
OS; in this case, the emulation system call table just uses the same
corresponding function. Sometime the behavior is a bit different. For
instance some flags have different values, or there are different
system call semantics. In this case, the system call table references an
emulation function, which will call the native function after adapting the
arguments and/or behavior. This is done, for instance, in
sys/compat/linux/common/linux_misc.c:linux_sys_uname() for Linux
uname(2) emulation. Last but not least, the emulated system call may have no
native equivalent. The emulation function that implements the system calls
must hence do all the work, or just act as the work has been done and just
return, hoping that the user process will not notice the broken behavior (yes,
sometimes it works).
The other part of the job is implementing signal emulation. Care should be taken in order to ensure the system call handler is called in the same way the emulated OS would have done it. This job leads to the manipulation of machine registers and assembly language, and hence it is quite machine dependent.
IRIX 6.5 is known to be a System V Release 4 (SVR4) derived Operating
and thanks to Christos Zoulas, NetBSD already contains a SVR4 binary
compatibility option. The code for this SVR4 emulation can be found
sys/compat/svr4 in the NetBSD kernel sources.
NetBSD already has a binary compatibility with major OSes such as Solaris 2 or SCO OpenServer through this SVR4 compatibility option. The first problem was to decide if the IRIX compatibility would be implemented by improving the SVR4 compatibility, or by introducing an IRIX specific compatibility option.
The answer to this first question is obvious once you compare the
call tables for plain SVR4 and for IRIX 6.5. The table for SVR4 can be
found in NetBSD kernel source in
sys/compat/svr4/syscalls.master. The
table for IRIX can be found on an IRIX system in
and in
NetBSD kernel sources, it can be found in
In the IRIX 6.5 system table, only the first 88 system calls are plain
SVR4. Following are 147 system calls that are either IRIX specific, or
are just SVR4 system calls with different system call numbers. This
suggests that IRIX binary compatibility in NetBSD should have its own
syscalls.master, since it would be a pain to add dozens of
#ifdef's in

UNIX in a Nutshell
Thus, we needed a
sys/compat/irix directory in NetBSD kernel sources,
an IRIX-specific syscalls.master file. However, there are a lot of
SVR4 system calls in IRIX, therefore a lot of code in
used by the IRIX binary compatibility. This code is built when the
is built with the IRIX binary compatibility option (COMPAT_IRIX)
is set, even if the SVR4 binary compatibility option (COMPAT_SVR4), is
In order to create a new compatibility option in NetBSD, we need
syscall.master file for the emulated OS.
syscall.master file.
Most of the work can be done in an incremental way, starting from code
is duplicated from the NetBSD native version, and modifying it until
binaries work. The only field where a NetBSD version is not very
is the
syscalls.master file, because we know that everything will be
later. A null
syscalls.master file, which defines no system calls at
all is a
good start.
Now let us see how an emulation option is made visible to the NetBSD
kernel. Everything is done in the
sys/kern/exec_conf.c. In this file, an array
execsw_builtin is defined. Each entry in this array is a struct
execsw, as defined in
The struct
execsw describe a particular execution environment. This
includes foreign OSes emulation, and natives situations as well : There are
entries in
execsw_builtin for shell scripts,
a.out native binaries, ELF native binaries, and 32-bit ELF binaries running on 64-bit NetBSD systems.
Informations held by the struct execsw include pointers to a function
responsible for identifying the executable format (
a.out, ELF,
Mach-O...), a probe function that should be able to tell if this exec
switch is able to handle a particular binary, and functions for setting up the
program's initial stack, CPU registers, and for writing a core dump to
the disk.
The struct
execsw also holds a pointer to a struct
emul, which is
defined in
sys/sys/proc.h. Whereas the fields of struct
execsw are used
at program creation and termination, the struct
emul is used during the
program normal operation. It contains pointers to the system call
table, and to various functions used to handle traps and signals.
The distinction between struct
execsw and struct
emul is there because
OSes supports several executable formats. For instance, NetBSD itself
supports native
a.out or ELF binaries. Both kind of binaries share the
same system table and signal handlers, and therefore they have the same
emul. But the binary loading is different, hence they have two
execsw in
The first job is to create the struct emul for IRIX binary
compatibility. This uses the IRIX system call table (which is empty so far), and all
other fields are copied from the NetBSD native struct
emul, which is found in
sys/kern/kern_exec.c. It is named
emul_netbsd. The struct
emul for IRIX is naturally named
Then we can add the entry for IRIX in the
exec_builtin array. IRIX uses
ELF binaries, so this entails not much more than copying NetBSD ELF
native's entry, and replacing the struct
emul emul_netbsd by our
Now we have registered a new execution environment with the kernel. The next step is to have it actually run something. The struct execsw includes a probe function whose purpose is to tell the kernel if the execution environment described by this entry is able to handle a given binary.
In order to use our new execution environment, we must therefore write
a probe function. Usually, this kind of function tries to find a
signature specific to an OS in an ELF section, or a magic number in a
header that would identify the binary.
For IRIX, things are a bit complicated, since IRIX uses no less than three different kind of ELF executables. Theses correspond to the three Application Binary Interface (ABI) supported in IRIX: o32, n32 and n64. The ABI is the set of conventions that explains how the stacks and registers should be used when calling a function, or doing a system call.
o32 is the traditional 32-bit SVR4 ABI for MIPS processors. Here is a pdf document extensively describing o32 from the SVR4 ABI MIPS processor supplement. n64 is the 64-bit ABI, used for 64-bit ELF binaries. Finally, n32 is a hybrid ABI used to increase performance of applications using a 32-bit address space on 64-bit processors. The difference between o32 and n32 is that 64-bit registers are used instead of 32-bit, where relevant, and more function arguments are transmitted through registers instead of the stack. The goal behind n32 is to improve performance on 32-bit applications that are not necessarily able to build as 64-bit, because some assumption were made on pointer size, for instance.
At the time this paper was written, the NetBSD/mips kernel is only able to run o32 binaries. The goal is hence to match IRIX o32 binaries. o32 binaries are themselves divided into two families: static o32 and dynamic o32. Dynamic o32 binaries are the easy part of the job; therefore we will start with them.
ELF binaries are divided into ELF sections. The sections can be
inspected using the
objdump(1) command:
objdump -h file will list the ELF sections of file, and
objdump -j .section -s file will dump .section from file.
All dynamic ELF executables have an
.interp section that contains the
name of the ELF interpreter, which is also known as the dynamic linker. On
NetBSD, this is
/usr/libexec/ld.elf_so. See
ld.elf_so(1) for more
information about ELF dynamic linking.
On program startup, the kernel loads the executable and the interpreter, and then transfers control to the interpreter. The interpreter loads the shared objects into memory, and then transfers control to the dynamically linked program.
On IRIX, things are a bit strange: the interpreter is libc itself.
Libc loads the dynamic linker (
/usr/lib/rld), which in turn loads
all the shared objects and then executes the program by calling it's
This IRIX particularity is good for matching IRIX binaries: the
name is
/lib/libc.so.1, which is quite unusual. Another good point
to examine is that because it maintains three different ABIs, IRIX has
different sets of libraries, and therefore three different interpreter:
/lib/libc.so.1 for o32 binaries,
/lib32/libc.so.1 for n32 and
/lib64/libc.so.1 for n64. It is therefore quite easy to check whether a dynamic executable is an IRIX o32 binary : we just have to peek at the
.interp section and see if the interpreter is

IRIX Binary Compatibility, Part 2
Static binaries are more tricky. At a glance, the only difference
between o32 and n32 static binaries is the presence of a
.MIPS.options section in o32 static binaries. This could have been a good test, but
unfortunately, it has some false negatives. One can find a few static
binaries in IRIX 5 that do not have this ELF section (the
command for
But since IRIX's
file(1) command is able to distinguish o32 and n32,
there must
be a reliable difference. The answer is in an IRIX header file:
/usr/include/sys/elf.h. This file defines the ELF header, in which we
can find an
e_flags field. Two bits in this field are used for IRIX binaries
to distinguish between the three ABIs. In order to tell if an IRIX
binary is o32, n32, or n64, we just have to check for theses two bits in the ELF header.
This is quite a robust test to distinguish between o32, n32, and n64 IRIX binaries; however, it can still have some trouble when it is used to distinguish between IRIX and non-IRIX static binaries. Fortunately, there are not a lot of static binaries on an IRIX 6.5 system, and it is not trivial to build static o32 programs. (In fact, I was not able to find how to do it.) Hence, we can afford to use a weak matching scheme; as soon as we can match the few static binaries from IRIX 6.5 correctly, we are safe.

Hi Rady, do you know that the New Posts search up the top doesn't seem to be working? It always says there's no new posts, even when there are.
I've cleared cookies to see if maybe it's just me, is it not working for anyone else?
Had no problem with the search new posts with neither chrome or firefox. Are you still using IE? A software upgrade would cost me $175 and i probably won't be able to do it this summer.
Don't sweat it re: upgrade. I only use IE at work, I got chrome for home.
Really not a big deal, just thought I'd mention it.
Great news! There was a -$50 offer for upgrade at vB until the end of the month and i bought it. Later these days i'll update the files and get the software to the latest version. Many issues will be solved (including this) and most probably we'll get tapatalk roll!
Awesome stuff mate. While we're on the subject, is there a paypal or donations area for the site?
I'll chip in cos I brought it up.
actually there's a paypal button at the bottom of every page. don't worry about the cost, the google ads that ran on the forum the past couple of years covered the cost, i just need to figure out a way of bringing them back without over-moderating the post content
Does the search for new posts work now?
Doesn't seem to work on the latest IE. Chrome and Firefox are good though.
It does work now!
Good stuff, Rady.

What Is a Damaged Metabolism?
Many people have a hard time losing weight or maintaining their weight because they have a damaged metabolism. If you have struggled with diet after diet, exercise program after exercise program, and nothing seems to work, this may be why.
Metabolism is scientifically defined as the sum total of the breaking down and the building up processes in the body. If you have a damaged metabolism, you are breaking down faster than you are building up. Your metabolic rate has been lowered by years of stress and possibly over exercising and not eating enough food or enough of the right foods.
If you have a degenerative disease of aging — diabetes, osteoporosis, thyroid problems, heart disease, chronic fatigue — these are clear signs that you have a damaged metabolism. If you have adrenal burnout from years of unrelenting stress, and/or you have insulin resistance, you definitely have a damaged metabolism.
About 20 percent to 30 percent of people under the age of 35 and 70 percent to 80 percent of people over the age of 35 have a damaged metabolism. If you have a damaged metabolism, you will have to eat and exercise differently from someone with a healthy metabolism in order to heal your metabolism and lose weight.
People with a damaged metabolism will need to keep their heart rate below 90 beats per minute when they do cardio-vascular exercise. That is because the body has to release the stress hormones cortisol and adrenaline in order to keep the heart rate above 90 beats per minute, such as in running or spinning classes.
If you have a damaged metabolism, you may find yourself gaining weight if you eat more carbohydrates than your body can handle. If you have a damaged metabolism, you must focus on becoming healthy and rebuilding your metabolism in order to lose weight and be thin and healthy the rest of your life.
Follow these five steps:
1. Nutrition. Eat five mini-meals every day of real food, not products. You can download free recipes, as well as a shopping list of healthy foods, at http://totalfitness.net/nutrition%20recipes.htm
2. Rest. Once you are out of complete exhaustion, make sure you are getting 10 hours of rest each and every day.
3. Hormonally appropriate exercise. Begin to move in ways that actually heal your metabolism, not break it down. Avoid high intensity cardio where your heart rate exceeds 90 beats per minute. Include relaxing yoga — not hot yoga like Bikram — tai chi, qi gong and walking. As your energy level improves, lift weights two to three times per week for 20-45 minutes at a time. Rest between sets.
4. Taper off toxic chemicals. In short, clean up your lifestyle.
5. Be Patient! Many people have spent the past 10, 20, 30 or even 40 years starving themselves, over-exercising, being excessively stressed, taking drugs and being inconsistent with their exercise program. The key is to get on a good program and stay on it. Excellence is built on a life of good habits.

Police: South Fla. man killed 2-year-old son
Published: Sunday, July 21, 2013 at 6:21 p.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, July 21, 2013 at 6:21 p.m.
MIAMI — A father of nine faces second-degree murder charges after throwing his 2-year-old son against a wall.
Television station NBC 6 South Florida (http://bit.ly/12Wdnzh) reports that police have arrested Angel Luis Villegas in the death of the child.
Authorities say Villegas was frustrated with his son, who had been battling a cold and vomiting after every meal. On Tuesday, when the child threw up at dinner, police say Villegas threw his son on a bed in a rage, causing the 2-year-old to hit his head against a wall.
The following day, the 29-year-old father found his son unresponsive, lying still on the bed, police said. The child was taken to a Miami hospital, where he was declared brain dead.
Villegas is being held on $110,000 bond for child abuse and attempted murder charges.

The on-again, off-again relationship between Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez is off. Again.
And this time, it looks like it's for good.
Jennifer Lopez ended the engagement, one of her publicists told The Associated Press on Thursday.
A spokesman for Lopez at Dan Klores Communications said in a statement: "I am confirming the reports that Jennifer Lopez has ended her engagement to Ben Affleck. At this difficult time, we ask that you respect her privacy."
People and Us Weekly magazines first reported the breakup on their Web sites Thursday afternoon.
Affleck's publicist, Ken Sunshine, would only say: "As usual, we never comment on the private lives of our clients."
Lopez, 34, and Affleck, 31, have been the subject of near-constant media scrutiny for the past year and a half.
In the video for Lopez's 2002 hit "Jenny From the Block," in which she makes fun of the paparazzi, Affleck rubs her legendary posterior while basking in the sunshine on a boat. In another song from her album "This Is Me ... Then," titled "Dear Ben," she professes her affection for Affleck.
But then their romantic comedy, "Gigli," was considered the cinematic disaster of the year before it even debuted in August.
They were supposed to have married a month later, but abruptly postponed their lavish plans "due to the excessive media attention surrounding our wedding."
Since then, the media has followed their every move, keeping track of who Lopez was with and whether she wore her 6.1-carat pink diamond Harry Winston engagement ring. Even a routine trip to a Georgia courthouse to get a gun license for Affleck drew a horde of photographers and celebrity reporters.

This would have been the first wedding for Affleck. Lopez has been married twice before — to waiter Ojani Noa in 1997 and to dancer Cris Judd in 2001. Noa lasted a little more than a year; Judd for nine months.
She also famously dated Sean "P. Diddy" Combs — back when he was still "Puffy" — for two years before the couple broke up in February 2001.
Now the former couple will appear on screen together again in "Jersey Girl," due out March 19.
Lopez plays Affleck's wife, but she dies 12 minutes into the movie.

This is the compact vibrating toner that improves muscle strength and balance. Proven to help increase bone density, regular 10-minute sessions of vibration training have also been shown to improve the strength of the hip flexors, ideal for maintaining balance and posture. Its vibrating platform oscillates at five frequencies between 30-45Hz, a range shown in medical studies to improve blood and lymphatic fluid circulation. The textured platform freely rotates 360� to open the hips, shoulders, and rib cage, and combined with isometric movements, such as tightening the abdominals, and the included resistance bands, the trainer assists in toning muscles and burning fat without the microtrauma associated with typical weight workouts. Supporting users up to 220 lbs., the platform enables seated or standing use while holding onto the vibrating handles (handles can also be removed for operation using the handheld infrared remote). Assembly required. Plugs into AC. 17" L x 161/2" W x 41" H. (183/4 lbs.)

Hi - just wanted to share my experience with those of you mums with 'early birds' who are in SCBU or just home and struggling with establishing b/feeding.
My little one was born 27+5 and 2lb and in hospital for 3 months. The first hospital was hot on b/feeding and, in my shocked state, was marched to the pumping room and gently encouraged to get pumping ... we didn't realise at the time (and knew nothing about milk production!!) this was the BEST thing that could have happened and gave me and my husband (who fetched, labelled and stacked bottles in the fridge diligently!) something to do aside from sitting cotside and chasing consultants for information and scans.
When our little one was moved to another hospital and was finally well enough and ready to try b/feeding, despite our clearly stated wishes, the nasal canula was taken out and bottles given as priority. This was a tick boxing mistake for many reasons I will not go into now (and we have made formal complaint) - our baby of course got used to bottles and by the time I made the commute to the hospital every day he was too tired to attempt to breastfeed. This was really discouraging as everything we had learnt about premature babies and their extra needs really made us want to breastfeed. We were pretty devastated by many things that happened in that hospital but stayed quietly determined to keep up the pumping regime so he could at least have EBM - our plan was to have another go when we finally broke him out of there around his due date.
Luckily the mass 'over'pumping sessions at Hospital 1 was frozen at home and became as precious as liquid gold as we spent the next 2 months slowly weaning him off the bottle and onto the boob!
(Aside: it was also brilliant when we went on holiday, slowly defrosting on the flights!)
I also realised (and no one had explained this, but in retrospect its pretty obvious) when he was so small, he was 5lbs when he came home, it was hard to physically latch on to my nipple but as he got bigger and stronger he really did get the hang of it!
It was the hardest challenge of my life and so many times felt like giving up but when he finally became a pro feeder at around 5-6 months and we realised we weren't doing bottles anymore we were so happy and proud- and he was so chuffed with himself... !!
He is now 13 months old and we are still going strong - wondering what I'm going to do when I go back to work in 3 weeks!!
I am so happy that despite the discouragement at Hospital 2 and sabotage of our breastfeeding plan, we have been able to give our little one the best possible chance to do what every baby wants to do naturally... we know v.early premies are so susceptible to catching viruses and stomach problems... aside from check ups, we have not had one trip to the doctors - he shakes off colds within a day and has only been sick about 3 times since he got home from hospital... he has never had any gastro problems...
I would really encourage any premie mum (and dad) to keep going and keep pumping away until your baby is strong enough to breastfeed... it might take a while like us but is so worth it if you can!! Good luck xxxx

This recent Valentine's Day I wanted to surprise my wife by cooking a romantic dinner at home. The last several years we've gone out to eat at various restaurants have been disappointed with the quality of the food and the price we had to pay for it. Seeking ideas I hit the web and found a neat recipe for Chicken Piccata at my buddy JD's blog Get Rich Slowly. He had an article entitled Recession Romance and shared some other neat ideas to celebrate V Day without breaking the bank.
When it comes to new recipes, I'm a sucker for any Italian dish, so this recipe was right up my alley. The one slight change that I implemented was I wanted to make it a pasta dish so I added some thin spaghetti to the mix.
If you're looking for a new tasty recipe, I encourage you to give it a try.
If you're looking for a tasty shrimp pasta recipe, head over to Gen X Finance for a recipe I shared earlier. Without further ado, here's the the step by step instructions as well as an idea on how much it is going to cost. Time to hit the kitchen to try out this chicken pasta recipe!
