I stayed in Anita,s flat with my husband. this was our first visit and we would come back again. Anita was very helpful and easy to communicate with. A nice friendly person. The flat is bright with large open plan kitchen, dining, sitting area. The kitchen was well equipped with gas hob, microwave and fridge with freezer compartment which was all we needed for our spray. We enjoyed having a balcony as we had lovely weather. There are several good supermarkets in walking distance and some smaller shops very near. We found a nice small pub a short walk along the road to the left of the apartment. The apartment is very near the Lelylaan Station where you can get a train to Schiphol Airport as well as trams, buses and the metro. We got a three day ticket which allowed us to use the trams, bus and metro. We loved Amsterdam and found it easy to get around. We would enjoy coming back again.
We had a very nice stay at Anita's flat, it's very easy to get to amsterdam center, airport, supermarkets... Everything in the flat was perfect, anita was very helpful, we should be back ! Thanks again for this great experience
Lovely apartment. Anita was great! Very helpful when we arrived. Location of flat is also brilliant. Right next to the train/ tram station, and a supermarket 5 min walk away.
We had an excellent stay with no problems, and I'd recommend to stay here to anyone. Thanks Anita!! (And sorry for leaving a few dirty dishes)
It was a pleasure and a privilege to stay in Anita's lovely apartment. A pleasure because it is so spacious and bright and comfortable - the balcony is really lovely if you can catch some warm evening sunlight - and a privilege because Anita is an interesting and warm person whose interests and pursuits lend so many individual and stimulating touches to the apartment. The walls are mainly painted white but there are so many warm aspects of colour lent by objects and furnishings in the rooms - the apartment itself embraces you in its own lovely personality. The apartment and area are very quiet, there are many small stores and a good supermarket nearby. The metro and tram stop is a five-minute stroll away, and there are frequent trains to and from Schiphol, it is a 7-minute journey!. When leaving I was checked-in at the Airport within half an hour of leaving Anita's apartment! As for walking, I walked to the town centre in 45 minutes passing through lovely Vondelpark, though there are lots of trams and buses if you prefer. I stayed for 5 nights and was only sorry to leave.
Nice place to stay, Good location.
Apartment also really good.
We enjoyed our stay in Amsterdam
Anita war sehr nett und hilfsbereit.
Die Wohnung ist sehr groß,sauber und top gelegen.Circa 15min mit der Straßenbahn bis zum Hauptbahnhof.
Immer wieder gerne
Uns gefiel die Lage der Wohnung sehr gut.
Bahn, Supermarkt, Radverleih, alles was man braucht in der Nähe!
Mit der Bahn eine Zwischenstation vom Centrum entfernt.
Das Apartment ist ebenfalls schön eingerichtet unf für ein Wochenende in Amsterdam ausreichend :)
Nur der Preis ist etwas zu hoch
Apartamento moderno y situado en zona muy tranquila en el exterior de amsterdam. Facil comunicacion con el aeropuerto con el tren, y transporte publico a 5 min al centro, eso si, los precios del transporte publico en Amsterdam excesivos. Apartamento perfecto para dos personas, cocina con la necesario, cocina a gas, microhondas - horno en uno, un pequeño baño, y un aseo con ducho donde he echado en falta por lo menos un plato de ducha. El apartamento es la vivienda habitual de la propietaria, por lo tanto me sorprendi un poco al ver todas sus pertenencias personales, pero bien, solo eché en falta un armario para colgar nuestra ropa. Cerca hay una plaza con dos grandes supermercados, con mucho surtido para comprar lo necesario para el desayuno y para cenar. Perfecto el balcon con vistas a la calle, pillamos una semana con un tiempo buenisimo y la pude disfrutar. Resumiendo una estancia perfecta en todos los sentidos. Gracias Anita

David is a nice player but another WLB to me doesnt make much sense. Giants primarily play Nickel anyway.
[quote user="gmen0820"][quote user="G-Men Surg."][quote user="gmen0820"][quote user="G-Men Surg."][quote user="Shockeyitus"]Boley moving to the middle opens up an opportunity for JWill to start.
JWill, Boley, David... Makes for the fastest, instinctive and quality starting LB Corp in the NFL.[/quote]
In that hypothetical lineup how's playing SLB ? I don't think either David or JWill are well suites for playing the strong side.[/quote]Williams played it pretty much all last year.[/quote]
In base defense Kiwi played the SLB and JWill played in nickel D with Boley along side.[/quote]And throughout the year, Williams played roughly 50% of the snaps. All of them either from the MIKE or SAM. Boley always played WILL.
And yes Kiwi did play the SAM, but I'm only responding to your question of who'd play SAM if David-Boley-Williams were on the field.[/quote]
You are right . I guess my head keeps spinning with all those formations and just miss the good all days when LBs played 3 downs, that been said its nearly impossible to find a "complete LB " this days with all the complex passing offense in today's game.
" Success is never final, but failure can be " B.P.
Could David be viewed more as a replacement for Grant? More like a PF safety playing down in the box?
No one remembers who came in second.
[quote user="jomo"]Could David be viewed more as a replacement for Grant? More like a PF safety playing down in the box?[/quote]
Doubtful, David did in college exactly what Boley does for the giants. Grants role is different, even as his hybrid LB role he still spends a lot of time dropping into deep coverage. Dont see that with David.
God forbid we upgrade our LBs....
You people do realize there's a extremely good chance Kiwi won't be a Giant come 2013???
Boley eventually won't be around either due to cap space...
& We literally don't know who our starter is at MLB....

The GenderIT copyright edition: The struggle for access to information in Africa
By LC for APCNews
CALGARY, Canada, 20 April 2009
Women in Africa may be accessing the internet, but are they getting the information they need? Whether they are students, members of civil society, leaders of indigenous communities or women and youth affected by HIV/AIDS, patents and copyrights are making it increasingly difficult for women in Africa to access the information they need. This edition of Gender Centred, a periodic bulletin produced by APC's programme for the GenderIT.org policy site, focuses on the challenges copyright and the lack of information exchange bring to those who need it most, and explores the different issues surrounding open source software, copyright and rights to information.Full article at http://www.genderit.org/archive/?q=en/node/71

SAN FRANCISCO — An administrative law judge directed California American Water on Tuesday to come up with a new proposal for a water supply project on the Peninsula by the beginning of March.
The directive came after Cal Am announced it would file a request with the state Public Utilities Commission within three months to pursue a new water supply project. Last week, Cal Am said it would no longer support the long-stalled regional desalination project.
In a conference at PUC headquarters, Judge Angela Minkin gave Cal Am until March 1 to deliver a report on its efforts to provide a new supply and how it intends to move forward.
"The clock is ticking, and 2016 is just around the corner," Minkin said, referring to the date when a state-ordered cutback in pumping from the Carmel River is set to take full effect.
The judge said there appears to be little progress on the regional project, which still doesn't have key permits or an adopted financing plan more than a year after PUC approval. She expressed doubts the project would meet the 2016 deadline even if Cal Am again offered its support.
"This is not a matter of saying the project needs to move forward, in my opinion," Minkin said.
Minkin asked Cal Am to address a number of issues regarding the $400 million regional desalination project, including the potential impact on Cal Am's Peninsula ratepayers if the project fails, leaving millions of dollars in bills in its wake and the potential for overdraft penalties.
She asked if project partner Marina Coast Water District were to appeal a recent tentative Monterey County Superior Court ruling that invalidated the project's environmental review, whether the cost would be reimbursable under the project agreements. She also requested a full accounting of costs to date.
The judge asked Cal Am to consider the impact of the area's declining water demand and of other potential alternatives, such as expanded use of aquifer storage and recovery and gray water. And she asked Cal Am to describe the "tipping point" that prompted its withdrawal from the project.
Cal Am officials said the withdrawal was prompted by the failure to resolve a number of issues among project partners despite five months of mediation, and the lack of progress on the project as the state deadline approached.
While Tuesday's conference was called to address Cal Am's bid to proceed with its portion of the regional project, including a pipeline and water storage facilities, regardless of the rest of the project, Minkin said she was concerned about "moving forward in a vacuum."
Minkin said she believes if Cal Am ultimately decides to pursue a new project, it should be the subject of a separate application. But she said she would discuss the matter with commission Chairman Michael Peavey.
Cal Am spokeswoman Catherine Bowie said the company is proposing a petition to modify the PUC's approval of the project in an attempt to capitalize on the work already accomplished and expedite a replacement proposal.
Bowie said Cal Am would likely schedule a public forum on the Peninsula to discuss the matter.
Marina Coast's argument
Mark Fogelman, attorney for Marina Coast, argued the regional project should still move forward because it is the only option capable of meeting the 2016 deadline. He said the commission should order Cal Am to proceed with the project because there has been no "factual showing" that the project couldn't proceed.
Fogelman argued that all of the project's issues represented "bumps in the road" that could be navigated.
He said any alternative would be subject to additional delay, including litigation and environmental review.
And he said Cal Am would unfairly benefit at the expense of its customers from what he called the "only other workable" alternative, a proposed north Marina project that includes a Cal Am-owned desal plant. That project would add hundreds of millions of dollars to the firm's rate base, he said, which is used to help establish customer bills.
Fogelman accused Cal Am of helping delay the regional project by considering potential alternatives.
Michael Warburton of the Public Trust Alliance, a group that advocates responsible long-term planning for public resources, also argued for the regional project to continue. He said Cal Am's withdrawal was simply an attempt to benefit its bottom line, calling the move "business as usual."
The PUC's Division of Ratepayer Advocates opposed Cal Am's bid to proceed with the firm's portion of the regional project, arguing there had been no independent analysis of the Cal Am-only facilities separate from the entire project.
But the group's water division supervisor, Diana Brooks, said the organization would be willing to consider any proposed alternatives.
County Counsel Charles McKee and Dan Carroll, counsel for the county Water Resources Agency, a project partner, appeared at the hearing, indicating the county was proceeding cautiously on the regional project because of the uncertainty surrounding its future.

This is my first year in beekeeping. Opened the hive (1 deep & 2 mediums) for inspection Saturday. Had added the 2nd super about 10 days ago. The top super was 90% drawn and all that was drawn has nectar, the middle super had the outer frames full and capped, and the center frames with capped brood and capped nectar. All looking good until I spied the first of 3 queen cells in this middle super. In the hive body almost every available cell is filled with nectar. I have made inspections before and not seen the queen but this time I'm concerned. There is larva to be seen but I can't find any eggs. I looked hard and long and may have missed some but I think not. And again even in the center frames, open cells are nectar filled. I'm feeding the bees 1:1 syrup in an entrance feeder, up to 2 quarts a day last week, but I didn't think they would be storing it all.
My thinking at this point is that they don't have enough room and need more space. I the queen is gone I don't want them to swarm with the new queen. So I added 2 more supers. I put a super (1A) above the 1st super (A), putting some undrawn foundation in the center of "A" and drawn frames of brood in the center of "1A". Then I added a queen excluder and above that top super (B) and a new super (2B)mixing the drawn and fresh foundation similarly. There are some capped brood cells in "B" that I hope will lure the bees above the excluder. I'll check next week to see if maybe the queen was trapped above the excluder if I didn't see her.
Would appreciate some thoughts on my actions. I know you can't do everything right in beekeeping but I hope I didn't do anything too wrong.

Reviews for this host's other properties
nice small apartment that has everything you need for a city break. Good location as it is located close to the train station and only a few minutes walk from the nearest tram station. Not so perfect was the key collection. This took place in a central location, the landlord and this was too far away for us from the apartment.
nettes kleines Apartement, das alles hat, was man für einen Städtetrip braucht. Gute Lage, da es nah am Bahnhof und auch nur ein paar Gehminuten von der nächsten Straßenbahn-Station entfernt ist. Nicht so optimal war die Schlüsselübergabe. Diese fand in einer zentralen Stelle der Vermieter statt und diese war für uns zu weit vom Apartement entfernt.
We would certainly have appreciated more if the apartment was better equipped, it lacked a lot of things, pans, dish towels, corkscrew and wine glasses and so on. In addition, the cleanliness was poor. We booked two other apartments of the same owner at the same time and they had to be canceled because he had not made his update on Windu, a small organization and improvement is needed!
Nous aurions certainement plus apprécié cet appartement s'il avait été mieux équipé, il y manquait énormément de choses, casseroles, linge à vaisselle, tire-bouchon et verres à vin et j'en passe. De plus, la propreté laissait à désirer. Nous avions réservé 2 autres appartements du meme propriétaire au meme moment et ils ont dû être annulés du fait qu'il n'avait pas fait sa mise à jour sur Windu, Une petite organisation et de l'amélioration s'imposent!
The apartment is brilliantly located in a very nice area to go out with very good facilities. With many green oases in the vicinity. Unfortunately, it was not very clean. (Dirty dishes and thick clouds of dust). But this set up quite nicely
Das Apartment ist super gelegen in einem sehr schönen Stadtteil mit sehr guten Gelegenheiten auszugehen. Mit vielen grünen Oasen in der Nähe.
Leider war es nicht gerade sehr sauber. (Geschirr schmutzig und dicke Staubwolken). Dafür aber recht hübsch eingerichtet
Very good location for sightseeing. Apartment. Too bad there is no coffee or tea, and other utensils for a rental basis. A small problem with the relationship with the agency. We chose the transfer proposed by the agency, the person was very late and the start we had to take a taxi because it did not come on time (not serious), especially that the agency had our mobile number because we had called 2 times. At the 3rd recovery agency was closed. If I'm booking again I would be more vigilant.
Très bon emplacement pour les visites. Bel appartement. Dommage qu'il n'y ait pas de cafetière, ni théière, et autres ustensiles de bases pour une location. Un petit bémol avec la relation avec l'agence. Nous avions choisi le transfert proposé par l'agence, la personne était très en retard et pour le départ nous avons été obligé de prendre un taxi car il n'est pas venu à l'heure dite (ce n'est pas sérieux) surtout que l'agence avait notre n° de portable car nous les avions appelé à 2 reprises. A la 3 ème reprise l'agence était fermée. Si je dois réserver à nouveau je serais plus vigilante.
It was realy nice
Everything worked out well with organisation. Flat is located quite central in Zizkov (Supermarket is also next door) and you can even walk into the city center. Flat is nice and equipped with everything you need. The only drawback is the bed which is just not very comfortable.
We enjoyed our stay in the house. It was definitely worth the price. It's a little far from the city, but the metro can be reached on foot in 15-20 minutes, and it's about a 15-minute ride into the city.
What we were particularly happy about: The young man in the agency was very friendly and helpful and provided us with maps and all the information we needed; the beds are comfortable; one of the bedrooms has a large en-suite bathroom with a bathtub, there is another bathroom with a shower, and a toilet on the ground floor. The house was generally very clean, the rooms were sparsely furnished but pleasant, and the location was very nice and quiet. The free wi-fi worked without any problems and was a big plus, as was the separate garage.
There were a few things we weren't quite as satisfied with, though: There is no coffee maker, which a fully equipped vacation rental should definitely have, and no dishwasher (which is less of a necessity); there is no living room; we mostly hung out at the dining room table, but a living room with a sofa would have been nicer; it would also have been nice to have nightstands and lamps by the beds so you don't have to get up to turn off the light. The supermarket is near the metro, so also about a 15- to 20-minute walk from the house. We had a problem with the heating on the first day and no hot water on the third, but both of these issues were taken care of promptly once we reported them. Also, be sure to bring your own dish towels.
Overall, we were satisfied with the house and would consider staying there again if we should visit the city in the future.
Very nice hosts! Unproblematic keys, hosts were ready to answer all of our questions and give good insider tips. Most attractions are within walking distance from the apartment, and there are just outside the door tram stop. Have very much enjoyed our stay and will recommend the apartment to fall further!
Sehr nette Gastgeber! Unproblematisches Schlüsselübergabe, Gastgeber waren bereit auch alle unsere Fragen zu beantworten und gute InsiderTipps zu geben. Meisten Sehenswürdigkeiten sind zu Fuß von der Wohnung erreichbar, außerdem gibt es direkt vor der Tür Tramhaltestelle. Haben unseres Aufenthalt sehr genossen und werden die Wohnung auf jeden fall weiter empfehlen!
Uncomplicated, friendly and helpful. Four instead of five stars because we did not get the booked apartment because according to statements of the Office of the boiler had been canceled at short notice. Alternative apartment was comparable. Office is to recommend! Thank you very much
Unkompliziert, freundlich und hilfsbereit. Vier statt fünf Sterne, da wir nicht das gebuchte Apartement bekommen haben weil laut Aussage des Office der Boiler kurzfristig ausgefallen war. Ausweichapartement war vergleichbar. Office ist weiter zu empfehlen!!! Vielen Dank
The apartment was very clean and looked like on the photos shown. We received a very nice and everything went without any problems. The kitchen might be a little better equipped (toaster would be nice) but for a short stay it was fine. The location was great in the Zizkov district. In the city center, it was not far and the prices of the restaurants were cheaper than in the city. We recommend the apartment and be happy to be back for sure!
Das Apartment war sehr sauber und sah wie auf den abgebildeten Fotos aus. Wir wurden sehr nett empfangen und alles lief ohne Probleme ab.
Die Küche könnte vielleicht etwas besser ausgestattet sein (Toaster wäre praktisch) aber für einen Kurzaufenthalt war es in Ordnung. Die Lage war super im Stadtteil Zizkov. In die Innenstadt war es nicht weit und die Preise der umliegenden Restaurants waren günstiger als in der Innenstadt.
Wir empfehlen das Apartment gerne weiter und werden bestimmt wiederkommen!

After two decades of start-and-stop drilling, Russian researchers have finally reached Lake Vostok. The lake is buried beneath ice that is two miles thick. The lake's fresh water has remained untouched for the last 20 million years. One of roughly 400 lakes that rest under the ice on the continent, Lake Vostok is the largest. At 160 miles long and 30 miles wide, it is similar in size to Lake Ontario in North America.
Looking for Life
American and British teams are drilling to reach other Antarctic lakes under the ice. But according to Robin Bell, a Columbia University scientist who studies glaciers, those other lakes are smaller and younger. Bell says the age and size of Lake Vostok make it a big scientific prize. "It's like exploring another planet, except this one is ours," she said.
Scientists around the world are eager to see what the Russians find at Lake Vostok once they study water samples. Researchers want to find out what—if any—life exists in that cold and dark place. It's possible that bacteria too tiny to see might live and even thrive there. That might not seem like much, but scientists know this tiny life existed on Earth before plants and animals did. Some of the bacteria may be similar to bacteria that currently lives near the dark and deep ocean floor. One big difference: Lake Vostok's life dates back millions of years.
"The more we learn about life, the more we learn about its ability to grow and survive and [do well] in environments that we formerly thought were too inhospitable," said David Morrison, a senior scientist at NASA's Astrobiology Institute.
Lessons for Exploring Space
The drilling of Lake Vostok has made it possible for scientists to test technologies that could be used to study similar places in our solar system. "Conditions in lakes in Antarctica are the closest we can get to those where scientists expect to find extraterrestrial life," said Valery Lukin, the head of Russia's Arctic and Antarctic Research Institute.
Researchers believe the conditions of Lake Vostok are similar to those found under the ice crust on Mars, on Jupiter's moon Europa, and on a moon of Saturn. Studying the lake may help scientists determine which of those other icy worlds to target for exploration first.
Climate Clues
But we won't need to travel to far-away moons or to Mars to start using the data found during the drilling. Lake Vostok will provide more information about the history of Antarctica, which many believe was part of a larger continent in Earth's distant history.
Other people think what we learn about the lake will improve our knowledge of Earth's climate and help us to predict changes to it. Mahlon Kennicutt II, a Texas A&M University professor of oceanography believes this is very important. "A view of the past gives us a window on our planet's future," he said.

The Texas Rangers will not be making any offers to Josh Hamilton before he hits the open market in free agency.
Clubs have a chance to negotiate with their own prospective free agents, but Rangers general manager Jon Daniels said the team agreed with Hamilton's representatives that the slugger would test the market, so they'll wait to see how it shakes out.
"If you've gone this far, you're going to test the market," Daniels said. "The realities are when a guy goes out and tests the market and it's this close, you're not going to pre-empt it. I think he's going to go out and test the market and see what's out there and get back to us.
"No door has been closed. We're also very realistic about when a star player hits free agency at this point and the history of them returning to their original club. So we have to prepare both ways and prepare the club for the possibility that he's not back.
If I were a Rangers fan, I'd be concerned about my aging/injured core of bats.
Let Hamilton and Napoli walk.
I couldn't imagine trying to get control of Hamilton if he went off the rails in NYC, LA or another market like that. Good freakin' luck.
Miami would not be good for him. If Ron Washington followed him to South Beach, it would be Scarface II, just imagine the blow that would be consumed.

Reviews of this property
very nice appartment in a charming neighbourhood. muriel is a wonderful, patiently host. she helped us a lot and explainded everything we needed to know. don't miss the bakery in ground-floor with excellent croissants and all you need!
If you are looking for a typical traditional house-roof of Paris apartment this is it!
We had a very interesting stay and "warm" welcome by Muriel the land-lord.
The area is full of small restaurants and cafee's. It is close to Metro and buses.
We can recommend this warmly.
Lovely and charming apartment in a cozy quarter. This is where Paris is Paris. great view from the windows to Monmatre.
The host is nice and friendly. She has in-depth knowledge of Jazz. A large jazz collection for free use in the appartement.
However time was exiting, because of the attacks of 13th Sepember 2015 in Paris, we decided to go to Paris and after all we were glad to go. The appartment was special and cosy, like last time and I felt again like a real Parisienne when I bought y bread for the breakfast. People in Paris on the street, passengers, were very kind to each other . We think because of the fright. That was a god thing to note.
We had a wonderful time and w like the hospitality of Muriel. Next year we shal come again. Robert & Monique
The stay at Muriel's apartment was very pleasant. I felt at home from the beginning, with Muriel's warm welcome and her useful individual tips for having a good time in Paris. Everything was really fine in this comfortable and charming apartment - thank you, Muriel! All the best Petra
Really a very charming hostess.
Everyday we received an message from Muriel asking for if we need something, if everything was ok.
A good choice.
Thank you very much Muriel.
We stayed for 5 days and we loved it, we recommend all very friendly hostess Muriel apartment located on the 7th floor, there is a music center, TV, laptop, internet, equipped kitchen (oven), though in a very small Russian standards as the bathroom, but most importantly it is a great location near the Metro Charonne, within walking distance of restaurants, cafes, shops, in my opinion, the perfect location to all the sights (the Louvre, of Notre Dame, Office Charly Ebdo), who wanted to see traveled on foot, and to Montmartre - on the subway, at the intersection of the lines 6 and 14 walks car without a driver))) The apartment was warm despite the month of January, the mistress of a pledge from us is not charged, the whole impression of the apartment and hospitality favorable! Let's go back again! Bon voyage!
Мы остановились на 5 дней, и нам очень понравилось, рекомендуем всем, очень доброжелательная хозяйка Мюриель, квартира расположена на 7 этаже, имеется музыкальный центр, телевизор, ноутбук, интернет, оборудованная кухня (плита с духовкой), правда по-российским меркам очень маленькая как и ванная, но самое главное это отличное расположение рядом с метро Charonne, в пешей доступности рестораны, кафе, магазины, на мой взгляд, расположение идеальное, до всех достопримечательностей (Лувра, Нотрдама, офиса Шарли Эбдо), которые хотели увидеть добирались пешком, а до Монмарта - на метро, на пересечении линий 6 и 14 ходит вагон без водителя))) В квартире было тепло несмотря на январь месяц, хозяйка залог с нас не взимала, в целом впечатление от квартиры и гостеприимства благоприятные! Вернемся снова! Bon voyage!
Staying over New Year in this beautiful apartment with a great view of Paris was indescribably beautiful. The apartment is equipped with everything you need and is so cozy. Within walking distance is everything to achieve and by metro you are super fast in the center. Thanks Muriel and her insane Gadtfreundschaft, we had 4 wonderful days in Paris that will remain unforgettable. Thank you Muriel :-))
Der Aufenthalt über Sylvester, in dieser wunderschönen Wohnung mit einem tollen Blick auf Paris war unbeschreiblich schön. Die Wohnung ist mit allem ausgestattet was man benötigt und ist so gemütlich. Fussläufig ist alles zu erreichen und mit der Metro ist man super schnell im Zentrum. Dank Muriel und ihrer wahnsinnigen Gadtfreundschaft, hatten wir 4 wunderschöne Tage in Paris, die unvergesslich bleiben. Danke Muriel :-))
Our stay was perfect! We liked the small apartment "cocoon" of Muriel. It is very well located to discover Paris by Metro. We liked the layout of this cozy little apartment on the 7th.
The neighborhood is alive and offers the comfort of having restaurants, breweries, shops, .... in direct evirons.
Muriel thank you for the good home !!
Notre séjour était parfait! Nous avons bien aimé le petit appartement "cocoon" de Muriel. Il est très bien situé pour aller à la découverte de Paris en métro. Nous avons bien aimé l'aménagement de cet agréable petit logement au 7ième.
Le quartier est vivant et offre le comfort d'avoir des restaurants, des brasseries, magasins,....dans les evirons directes.
Merci Muriel pour le bon acceuil!!
We were very comfortable in the apartment, bright and comfortable, although we found the bathroom a bit 'too small. Muriel is a hostess welcoming, friendly and helpful. His recommendations on district have been valuable and allowed us to enjoy a very pleasant stay and unconventional. In this regard, we recommend the Marché d'Aligre, located a short distance from the apartment. There are many good things and not the real Paris tourist! See you soon. James and Liliana
Siamo stati molto bene nell'appartamento, confortevole e luminoso, anche se abbiamo trovato il bagno un po' troppo piccolo. Muriel è una padrona di casa ospitale, gentile e disponibile. Le sue indicazioni sul quartiere sono state preziose e ci hanno permesso di godere di un soggiorno molto piacevole e non convenzionale. A questo proposito consigliamo il Marché d'Aligre, situato a pochissima distanza dall'appartamento. Lì si trovano molte cose buone e la vera Parigi non turistica! Un arrivederci a presto.

Cycling rolled onto the modern Olympics scene when road cycling and track cycling debuted at the 1896 Games in Athens, Greece. Today, cycling is divided into four main disciplines: road, track, mountain bike and BMX, with the last two events making their first appearances in recent Games. With the popularity of cycling gaining steam each year, all four events are sure to draw big crowds at the 2012 London Olympics.
Rules of the Games
There are two road cycling events each for men and women. For the road race, all riders start at the same time. The length of the men's route is about 155 miles. The women's route measures about 87 miles. In this event, the first to cross the finish line takes the gold. Meanwhile, for the time trial race, riders start 90 seconds apart. The competitor who rides the course the fastest wins. This course is shorter, with the men's measuring 27 miles and the women's measuring 18 miles.
There are five track cycling events that test a rider's speed and endurance. Track bikes have a fixed wheel, which forces riders to pedal continuously, and no brakes. To stop, riders put pressure on the pedals. The sprint event involves a series of three-lap races, in which individuals race head-to-head. There is also a team sprint. In the keirin, riders start the race by following a pacing motorcycle, and then speed to the finish. For the team pursuit, two opposing teams start the race on opposite sides of the track. The team that catches up to the challenger first, or that records the fastest time over the full distance, wins. The fifth event, the Omnium, makes its Olympic debut in London. In this multiple-race format, individuals compete in six different events on the track.
Mountain biking entered into the Olympics at the 1996 Games in Atlanta, Georgia. It's rough riding for competitors—the contest takes place over a rugged, hilly course in the countryside. Each competition can last up to an hour and 45 minutes. Riders start the race together and must complete a set number of laps. The first competitor to cross the finish wins the gold and the glory.
The newest of the Olympic cycling events is BMX (bicycle motocross). The high-flying sport first started gaining popularity in the 1960s, in California. It is making its second Olympic appearance at the 2012 London Games. The competition will be held on a short, outdoor track. Riders start off on a ramp about 26 feet high. The runs last only 40 seconds each, but the race is demanding. Riders face jumps and bumps at every turn. Men compete in a total of four heats and women in three. The top four riders from the men's semifinal and the women's semifinal move on to the finals. The medals are decided over one last run.

Diane Bucci receives The Irwin Award for Most Inspirational Book by Irwin Zucker, Founder of the Book Publicists of Southern California.
This book is the culmination of twenty years of journaling the long struggle of a very short life. My son, Mikey, was diagnosed with autism when he was three years old. It was changed, or "upgraded," to Asperger's syndrome when he was seven. I began writing short, humorous stories about my daily challenges with him when he was young and finally put them together into a book format by the time he was eighteen. It was basically a collection of funny stories detailing my struggles raising a child who did not fit the "norm."My original intention was to produce an Erma Bombeck type of book that would appeal to other parents like me. We cannot find humorous parenting books on the shelves that relate to our children. Our books will be in the medical section (see Abnormal Psychology) or the nonfiction section (see Sob-Stories). Of course, there's always a sprinkling of miracle stories among them. I've read them all. Someone removes wheat products from their autistic child's diet and voila!, the child miraculously becomes normal. I knew that my son would not be the one in a million success story who shakes the world of modern psychiatry down to its roots. But I also knew he had something wonderful to offer people in the way of hope.

Newspaper review: Led Zeppelin descended upon Minneapolis this past weekend and proved to a jam-packed crowd of more than 20,000 devotees that it is still the world's premiere heavy-metal rock and roll band.
The concert, which kicked off the band's 1975 North American tour in fine fashion, marked Led Zeppelin's first appearance on this side of the Atlantic Ocean in almost 18 months. Few groups are capable of approaching the energy level that Jimmy Page and company maintained from start to finish during the Zep's 2 1/2-hour performance. Still intact after almost seven years together as a tight, cohesive musical unit, Led Zeppelin has evolved from its beginnings as a heavy blues outfit, which specialized in long meandering hams into a sophisticated professional high energy rock band, capable of selling out one 50,000-seat football stadium after another all by itself, without the benefit of a warm-up act.
The group appeared onstage almost precisely at its scheduled 8 p.m. starting time to a thunderous roar from the crowd and broke right into Rock and Roll, led by Jimmy Page's hard, slashing guitar lines. With the exception of Moby Dick, the band's standard showcase for drummer John Bonham, and a brief, 30-second excerpt from Whole Lotta Love during the encore, the group confined its attention to its most recent albums, Led Zeppelin 4 and Houses Of The Holy, along with a number of selections from its coming Physical Grafitti LP. The new material was a particular highlight, most notably Kashmir, an ominously moody number featuring some intrigiung synthesizer work from John Paul Jones and Trampled Underfoot, a surging rocker whose title is most self-explanitory. A tremendous A tremendous version of Stairway To Heaven, sparked by Robert Plant's emotion-charged vocals, elicited the most enthusiastic reception of the evening.
It was the group's dynamic stage presence which impressed me above all else. These guys are totally in charge of the situation at all times, with Plant's rousing vocal histrionics and lanky, blond-maned frame (extremely sexy, according to most of the young ladies I spoke with before and after the show) commanding the attention of all. Page has developed into an energetic, exciting performer, prancing about and exchanging knowing smiles with Plant while he tosses out a succession of stupendous solos, each more incredible than the one before.
Other goodies for the evening included overwhelmingly powerful arrangements of When The Levee Breaks and The Song Remains The Same, which, along with the Physical Graffiti material were being performed for the first time, according to Plant. Near the end, Plant apologized to the crowd for the band being "rusty." He needn't have bothered — if Led Zeppelin was operating at only half-speed, I would be hard-pressed to imagine how sensational this band would be on a good night!
During its long tenure at the top of the heavy-metal rock pile, Led Zeppelin has met and defeated the challenges of untold numbers of pretenders to its throne, and if this past Saturday's performance is any indication of what's to come, I seriously doubt whether a band exists capable of equalling, much less surpassing, what Led Zeppelin could do in its sleep. The group's superb sound system and colorful lighting effects, which bathed the performers in a Avide variety of intense colors; added considerably to the over-all effect. In this highly inflationary age, Led Zeppelin gives its fans their money's worth and then more. Five years ago I willingly paid $10 for an 18th row ticket to the group's show in the same Bloomington Sports Centre (1970), the home of the Minnesota North Stars hockey club, yet this past week my 11th row seat cost just $8.50, a paltry sum for what this group delivers.
I would have liked to see the group play longer, and I doubt if there were more than a handful of people who would have left the building if the group played 15 encores into the small hours of the morning. - Free Press, Jan. 23, 1975.

never did this sort of forum thing before but this is such a great group I just had to join in.
Spent last winter building a lang hive without power tools. It was a ton of fun and I got to buy bunch of sweet tools. I live in the hood (we call it the historic district). The hive is on the back deck and my neighbors think I'm nuts. The hive is doing great.
Me and a buddy spent this winter building a couple of TBH's (more cools tools) and the bee packages arrive in a couple of weeks. I found the plans on topbarbees.wordpress.com (this guy was very clever). I'm a civil/structural engineer so I had to redraw the plans and I'd be happy to share them with anyone wants to see them (email@example.com) and would love an excuse to revise them so ....
anyway, aloha

Reviews of this property
Brand new apartment ...super clean....All the amenities needed for a short or long stay. Good communication with Ron and there is absolutely nothing negative to say about this apartment. I definitely recommend it!
The apartment is quite nice and modern. It is located near to the sea and directly to the tram station. the parking area is very comfortable and safe. So we did the tours to Den Haag and Delft only by tram.
Ron is a nice host with a lot of hints for the touristic program.
We enjoyed the stay.
Ron was a very nice host, easy to contact and quick in answering requests.
The apartment was exactly as described by the pictures: Very modern, perfectly outfitted and top address, very close to the Boulevard and beach. The sleeping room is calm, the mattress very good. Parking in the back of the building absolutely top.
The only negative is that you don't get towels and blankets for free which is usual with Wimdu. You can rent it but you don't know in advance before booking.
Ron responded to my request within a few hours and delivered as promised. We arrived extremely late and are very grateful for allowing us to arrive so late in the evening. The apartment is within easy walking distance to the beach, next to the public transportation and casinos. It comes with its own parking spot which otherwise would cost about €30 or more in parking fees, so that is a savings right there. Awesome sunsets can be seen from the balcony or eat one of the restaurants on the boardwalk. He also provides chairs that you can use on the beach and free wifi. Would definitely stay there again.
Modern and beautiful appartement which could not be located any more central. Beach, Cinema and Shopping Mall are only a short walk away. The parking garage and the provided Wifi were also very nice to have. Nevertheless to mention the very friendly welcome by the host Ron.
I had a great time in Scheveningen.
This flat is in a great location in the heart of Scheveningen with its own parking place and the local tram service right opposite. The interior is well equipped and furniture is nice and new.
We had a great 3 weeks there and if another opportunity comes around we will be back.
Excellent location, well received. Clean, everything needed was there. Definitely worth recommending.
Prima lokatie, goed ontvangen. Schoon, alles wat nodig was aanwezig. Zeker aanbevelingswaard.
Perfect apartment, very central, close to beach, good connection to public transport. Apartment is new, nicely decorated and spacious. The private parking is considering the location a real plus.
Perfect appartement, zeer centraal gelegen, vlakbij strand, goede aansluiting op openbaar vervoer. Appartement is nieuw, netjes ingericht en ruim. De eigen parkeergelegenheid is gezien de lokatie een echte pre.
The apartment is super nice and clean. Great location. Ron was very nice. Everything worked just fine. We will come back.
Die Wohnung ist super schön und sauber. Tolle Lage. Ron war sehr nett. Hat alles prima geklappt. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Greetings all! New to forum and to beekeeping.
I have a five frame setup that overwintered well in two five frame deeps. I peeked in and noticed they were packed in there and I got the feeling they were about to swarm soon. So i pulled a frame from the top box and it had half capped honey and the rest uncapped honey. On the lower edge it had some brood and several queen cells. When I pulled the frame it ripped apart one of the queen cells and she was 3-4 days from hatching, along with some other brood. This morning I noticed they were doing some heavy duty house keeping and spitting out these dead pieces of larva and pupae. Pretty cool. I added a queen excluder and a five frame shallow to give em some room and there were bees up there this morning. My question is: do I still need to pull all the frames and pinch any other queen cells or will they kill them? I figured I would give them a few days to settle down but don't want a swarm to carry off half my bees. This is only a five frame setup but I have a ten frame brood box or two. Should I move the whole hive into a ten frame? Can I split these and leave some in the five frame box? Like I said, new to beekeeping and want to do the bees right and not be greedy! Free bees sound great but I want to maintain my original strength.

Finding the words again
Seven years after a stroke stole her words, 37-year-old Terri could utter only a single word at a time.
But then a new intensive program at the Marquette Speech and Hearing Clinic helped her get her words back, and within three weeks, she was speaking in lengthy sentences.
The research-based program in the College of Health Sciences is for people who suffer from chronic aphasia, a communication disorder that makes speaking difficult after a stroke or other brain injury. Marquette's program uses a simple but powerful strategy: intense practice over a short period of time to force patients to use words instead of relying on nonverbal communication or a speech pathologist's cues.
The concepts were adapted from a technique used in the physical rehabilitation of stroke patients that requires patients to use their paralyzed limb instead of the unaffected one. The technique is known as constraint-induced therapy.
"One of the problems for people with chronic aphasia is learned non-use," says Jackie Podewils, coordinator of clinical services. That can mean pointing, gesturing and writing when you can't say the words. Marquette's program ensures aphasia patients talk for three hours a day, five days a week for three weeks. Activities range from playing the game "go fish" with noun and verb cards to naming pictures or answering questions.
For many patients, the program is a lifesaver. Although a handful of speech clinics elsewhere use a similar approach, those programs can cost upward of $20,000, while Marquette's is only $1,500.
"We're fortunate because we're an educational institution, and we have graduate students to help provide therapy," Podewils says.
Nearly 30 people have gone through the program so far. Because of the intensive one-on-one approach, the program can serve only four patients each semester.
Still, it's already transforming lives. That was apparent when Terri went from speaking single words to leaving her husband an unforgettable voice mail message: "Matt and me Walmart shopping," she said, then started laughing. She knew he would be shocked by her ability to say that much. Her husband saved the message because it was such a turning point in Terri's recovery.
The clinic has also started using constraint-induced therapy with its regular twice-a-week patients, and it is yielding results.
"It is really a jewel," Podewils says of the program. "It's so exciting that we've found an approach that's making such a dramatic difference." NSE

Hi everyone, I'm a complete and utter novice. I've never had bees, but I've been bitten (stung?) by the bug (bee?) and have been researching for the last few weeks.
If things go according to plan, I hope to have two hives this Spring.
I've been skimming this forum for a few days and I can't wait until I actually know what the heck I'm doing (and what the heck many of you are talking about).

Scientific research on a less toxic alternative to rotorcraft corrosion protection will be presented by SIFCO ASC and Bell Helicopter experts at the National Association for Surface Finishing's SUR/FIN Manufacuring & Technology Tradeshow & Conference 2014 in Cleveland.
Zhimin Zhong, research scientist at world-leading supplier of selective plating technology and solutions SIFCO ASC, and Peter McCallum, engineer of American rotorcraft manufacturer Bell Helicopter, are the technical experts behind the paper, and will be speaking about their findings on Tuesday June 10 at 10:00 a.m. at the Cleveland Convention Center.
High strength steel requires corrosion protection when used in rotocraft to prevent failure of flight critical components. Cadmium electrodeposit is traditionally used for these applications due to its excellent corrosion protection, however it is also highly toxic. In order to adhere to new design requirements, Zhimin and Peter evaluated zinc-nickel coatings as a less toxic alternative.
"By working with Bell Helicopter we have unearthed a viable alternative for corrosion protection in the aerospace industry while minimising toxicity," Zhimin Zhong said. "Peter and I are thrilled to be invited to share our research with delegates of the SUR FIN conference and hope that they go away with a fresh perspective on surface finishing."

Hi There,
Was wondering if I needed to shake off the bees from a frame of Brood,Larvae,Eggs when putting it into a different hive? I used this great method of checking for a queen when I thought one of my hives was queenless by adding a frame of eggs and brood and then checking 3 days later for queen cells. Every time I did this I shook off the bees and was wondering if that was neccessary? Would those nurse bees be accepted in the new hive if I left them on the frame and would they want to be accepted? (-: Thanks for your input!

Allow me to put away my GeekMom hat and replace it with my "I'm just a girl" hat.
I had several invitations to go with girlfriends to see Magic Mike since its opening day here in my little slice of America. At first I wasn't going to join any of them, but I received an invitation to honor a fellow Air Force wife who is leaving our community next week, I didn't want to turn it down.
I hadn't absolutely written off seeing the movie, and with my mom visiting, I figured it would be a fun night out for the two of us*.
*What? You don't go to male-stripper movies with Mom?
Even one week after the movie opened, about a dozen of us girls were still unable to find seats together in a packed theater in Fort Walton Beach, Florida. We were glad we bought our tickets on Fandango ahead of time!
The theater was full of mostly women of all ages, but my mom and I were seated next to a male-female couple. It was clear the male of the couple didn't want to be there…he was being a very good husband/boyfriend/male companion! After some chick-flick reviews capped with a couple of no-we-didn't-analyze-our-audience reviews (The Watch? Really?), our theater leaped straight into the movie with the late 70s/early 80s-era Warner Brothers logo. (My husband later said, "Hey, I remember that from the end of The Dukes of Hazzard!") This had me wondering if the film was to be set in the 70s and I briefly thought that we had some sort of Boogie Nights fan-film on our hands.
I have always enjoyed Matthew McConaughey in movies, so his role was the one to which I was most looking forward. I knew about Channing Tatum's dancing skills thanks to the You Tube viral video of his former stripping work. But I was very surprised at the plot. Here's a layout of the main characters: Continue Reading "Magic Mike: Yes, This GeekMom Went to See It!" »

Architectures/Fedora ARM Kernels
From FedoraProject
Building and Installing a Fedora Kernel Package on ARM Systems
This was originally written for Fedora 13. If you are already familiar with the concepts discussed and are only interesting in Fedora 15, you can skip to Set Up the F15 Repository.
This page is largely obsolete, as the Fedora ARM kernels are now being built in ARM Koji, and can be updated via yum. The grubby changes have also been pushed upstream and are available in F17 and newer. For F15, please use the patched version of grubby from the xpfa repository, as mentioned above.
To be able to build and install a Fedora kernel package on ARM systems in a similar manner to installing on an x86 PC.
Since ARM-based hardware varies greatly, I decided to start with a single architecture and focus on the board(s) for which I had access. It is my hope that this can be expanded to support other ARM variants and boards over time. The specific ARM systems initially targeted were the Beagle-xM and Panda boards. These are TI OMAP3 and OMAP4, respectively. Only armv7l builds were supported.
Support has now been added to the kernel sources for the CompuLab Trim Slice (NVIDIA Tegra 2), and it may be built for armv5tel, armv7l, and armv7hl. This is available in the Fedora kernel as of version kernel-188.8.131.52-0.fc15.
Kernel Version
Although F13 Beta is the base version of Fedora currently running on the boards, a more recent stable kernel from F15 was selected for the kernel baseline. The plan is to track the F15 kernel versions, keeping up with the most recent builds until F16 is released.
This newer kernel version has a dependency on a newer (F15 based) version of linux-firmware, so it was also built and installed for F13.
Building the Kernel Package
The kernel.spec file and Makefile.config were modified to add ARM OMAP and Tegra specific support, and applicable kernel config files were added. The kernel packages were then built for F13 on a Panda board using the following command:
rpmbuild -ba --target=armv7l SPECS/kernel.spec
The source and binary packages are available via yum:
Details on setting up and using the repository are covered below.
The Fedora ARM kernel source tree is also available in git:
git clone ssh://git.fedorahosted.org/git/arm.git git branch kernel origin/kernel
These sources are also available in the upstream Fedora kernel.
If you are setup to use the Fedora ARM Koji Build System, a scratch build can be performed using:
fedpkg --dist=f13 srpm arm-koji build dist-f13 --arch-override=armv7l --scratch kernel-<KERNEL_VERSION>.fc13.src.rpm
Installing the Fedora ARM Kernel
Both of the boards selected for testing use the U-Boot bootloader, so support was added to the grubby package to automate the creation of appropriate U-Boot images for the kernel being installed. Automatic boot of the installed kernel is accomplished through configuring the U-Boot autoboot script to use those U-Boot image files.
- U-Boot does not support a "boot menu", like lilo or grub
- U-Boot partitions are vfat, which means no hard links
- U-Boot does not support symlinks
- U-Boot will use an autoboot script (
- The kernel will boot using an initrd
- The U-Boot partition (vfat) will be mounted on
- the default boot images will use standard named files (i.e. uImage, uInitrd)
To automate the kernel installation for U-Boot, the grubby package was modified as follows:
- require uboot-tools
- add sections to handle U-Boot images in both update and remove
- run mkimage in the RPM posttrans script if U-Boot is configured
- copy the new images to uImage and uInitrd (making it the default)
- remove the corresponding version of U-Boot images when a kernel is removed
Multiple kernel version images may be installed, and kernel versions may be switched by simply copying the desired image versions to uImage and uInitrd and rebooting. The only negative is some wasted space in the U-Boot partition, since two copies of the default kernel and initrd are stored.
No U-Boot specific changes were made to the kernel package, so it can be installed elsewhere without using the modified grubby, although in that case the U-Boot files would not be automatically updated.
A simple text file was added that keeps a log of the installed kernel versions (assuming they were installed via yum or rpm). When a new kernel is installed its version is appended to the list. When a kernel is removed its version entry is removed from the list. The last entry in the list is always assumed to be the default. If the default kernel is removed, the "new default" version of the U-Boot image files (the new "last" version in the list) are copied to uImage and uInitrd.
Minimal error checking is performed by the install and remove code.
This is an example of how the U-Boot directory should look after installing a kernel:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 20632 May 5 10:15 MLO -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 240 May 16 13:02 boot.cmd -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 312 May 16 13:05 boot.scr -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 112 Jun 1 18:12 klist.txt -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 146536 May 5 10:16 u-boot.bin -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3934012 Jun 1 18:12 uImage -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3934012 Jun 1 18:12 uImage-188.8.131.52-31.01.fc13.armv7l.omap -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 8476083 Jun 1 18:12 uInitrd -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 8476083 Jun 1 18:12 uInitrd-184.108.40.206-31.01.fc13.armv7l.omap
This is an example of the autoboot command file (boot.cmd) for the Panda board:
setenv bootargs console=ttyO2,115200n8 ro rootwait root=/dev/mmcblk0p4 init=/sbin/init earlyprintk rd_NO_PLYMOUTH setenv bootcmd 'mmc init; fatload mmc 0:1 0x80300000 uImage; fatload mmc 0:1 81600000 uInitrd; bootm 80300000 81600000' boot
Your command options may vary, depending on your specific configuration, but the uImage and uInitrd files must be used for this method to work.
This file can be converted to the autoboot script (boot.scr) using the following command:
mkimage -A arm -O linux -T script -C none -a 0 -e 0 -n "PandaBoard boot script" -d boot.cmd boot.scr
The name of the U-Boot directory, the device partition used, the name of the installed kernel version list, and the image file names used are all configurable through the
/etc/sysconfig/uboot file. The defaults are provided:
UBOOT_DIR=/boot/uboot UBOOT_DEVICE=mmcblk0p1 UBOOT_KLIST=klist.txt UBOOT_UIMAGE=uImage UBOOT_UINITRD=uInitrd
Set Up the Repository
- get the eXtra Packages for Fedora ARM (xpfa) yum repository definition:
sudo yum --nogpgcheck install http://dmarlin.fedorapeople.org/packages/FedoraArm/RPMS/noarch/xpfa-13-1.noarch.rpm
- update grubby to get the modified version:
sudo yum --enablerepo=xpfa update grubby
- make any changes to the U-Boot configuration (if needed):
sudo vi /etc/sysconfig/uboot
Install the Kernel
- install the latest ARM OMAP kernel version:
sudo yum --enablerepo=xpfa update linux-firmware sudo yum --enablerepo=xpfa install kernel-omap
If all goes well, the latest kernel-omap version should installed, the U-Boot images copied to the default U-Boot image files, and the latest kernel-omap version appended to the installed kernel version list file (klist.txt). On the next reboot, the new kernel version should be booted automatically.
Set Up the F15 Repository
- get the eXtra Packages for Fedora ARM (xpfa) yum repository definition:
sudo yum --nogpgcheck install http://dmarlin.fedorapeople.org/packages/FedoraArm/RPMS/noarch/xpfa-15-1.noarch.rpm
- update grubby to get the modified version:
sudo yum --enablerepo=xpfa update grubby
- make any changes to the U-Boot configuration (if needed):
sudo vi /etc/sysconfig/uboot
Install the F15 Kernel
- Install the latest kernel version:
sudo yum --enablerepo=xpfa install kernel-omap # for Panda sudo yum --enablerepo=xpfa install kernel-tegra # for Trim Slice
We are currently carrying three patches that will probably not go upstream:
- arm-readl.patch - workaround for issue with gcc-4.6.x
Update: arm-readl.patch is not necessary if using gcc-4.6.1-9.fc15.0.arm4.armv7hl
- arm-18.104.22.168-dma.patch - workaround for DMA coherency issue on ARM SMP systems
- TEGRA-184.108.40.206-USB-SATA-hack.patch - workaround for disconnection of USB-SATA on TrimSlice
- patch from Compulab: http://gitorious.org/trimslice-kernel/trimslice-kernel/commit/437e615d22291f1822808715e4e016ef5cf043bd
- This merely prevents USB disconnect. Replace or remove as soon as practical.
To Do
- The current kernel config files have been split up like other Fedora architures (generic, arch-generic, board). Currently this kernel uses config-generic, config-arm-generic, and config-omap-generic or config-tegra to produce the merged kernel config. These need to be further refined to ensure the correct division between arm-generic and the board specific config settings.
- The ARM config options should be reviewed to make sure they are appropriate for the current kernel and Fedora versions.
- Support for other ARM variants and boards could be added (other kernel variants).
