Adding Images Into A Template
In this tutorial I will be showing you how to place your images into the spaces provided by our templates at The Shoppe.
When you open a template from The Shoppe you will see something that looks like the image below. The dark grey area is the area designated for placing your images.
Once you have your template file open it's time to get an image into it. Go ahead and open an image that you wish to place into the template. After the file is opened you need to select the entire image. Do this by navigating to the "Select" menu and choosing "All".
You will know that your image is selected when a moving dotted line appears around the entire file. This dotted line is commonly referred to as "the marching ants". When you confirm that your image is selected it is now time to copy that selection. Navigate to the "Edit" menu and choose "Copy". Nothing visible will happen but rest assured that your image has been copied and we will call on it later.
You are now finished with that image. You can close the file if you desire. At this time, move back to the template file and focus in on your "Layers" panel. This panel is usually located on the far right side near the bottom of the screen. Once you have located the "Layers" panel you will see a grouping called "Images". Clicking the arrow to the left will expand the group and reveal the layer containing the grey area. This is where you will be placing your image. Right click the layer thumbnail as seen in the image below.
When you have right clicked the layer thumbnail you will receive a menu. Choose the "Select Pixels" option and you should see the grey image placement area become surrounded by "marching ants."
With this area selected navigate to the "Edit" menu followed by the "Paste Special" sub-menu and finally select "Paste Into". If you are using an older version of Photoshop the "Paste Into" option may be directly inside the "Edit" menu. This is not a problem and will merely save you an additional step.
As soon as you select "Paste Into" you should see that the image you previously copied has appeared and is shaped and sized just like the grey image placeholder area. You will also notice in the "Layers" panel that a new layer has been created with your image and a mask. The mask is just a component that works to show or hide a portion of the image. In this case it is allowing your image to show through in a very specific area. Our original grey image placeholder layer is undisturbed beneath our new layer and will be ready to access again if you decide to change the image.
All that is left to do now is to position your image appropriately. Do this by selecting the layer thumbnail that includes your image and simply drag the image around on the canvas. You will notice that your image is not cropped but is merely being hidden from view except in the grey area. (Thanks to the mask) Feel free to scale and move the image as you normally would. When you find a position you like you can hide the layer with the grey image placeholder. Do this by clicking the eye to the left of the layer. It is a good idea to do this before printing as it will keep the grey area from being visible.
This concludes the tutorial. I hope this was informative and easy to follow.

City looking into security measures Downtown after video of violent fight posted online
EL PASO, Texas - The City of El Paso is looking into security measures for the Union Plaza Entertainment District, after business owners approached City Rep. Cortney Niland following the publication of a YouTube video showing a violent fight outside the District's clubs.
"It was concerning. I know that activity goes on and I understand that. What I don't want it to do is to affect the businesses," said Niland.
The video shows two men on the street, violently punching each other with a crowd surrounding them. Niland said she's received several calls about security concerns in the area.
She said the Union Plaza business owners are paying a combined $4,000 a month for off-duty police officers.
"Should we look at doing some sort of cost sharing with these different entertainment association districts, should we look toward sixth street in Austin or Bourbon Street in New Orleans - see how they handle security in their entertainment districts or do we need to just stop and say 'we're a big Downtown now, we're starting to thrive, don't most downtowns have their own downtown patrol?" Niland said.
El Paso Police spokesman Mike Baranyay said the department already divides the city into regions and each regional command allocated resources and officers based on specific needs and security concerns.
"We do have a downtown police force...the downtown entertainment district is no different than any other entertainment district in this city or in the nation. When you have large number of people congregating in one area, the chance of altercations or potentially dangerous situations increases and then when you infuse alcohol in that situation, obviously that is another element that can increase the likelihood of violence or problems," Baranyay said.
Baranyay said he did not have recent data on fights or police calls at the Union Plaza.
City Council this week directed the CIty Manager to explore options on how to address the security concerns.
City Rep. Steve Ortega said additional police presence may not be the answer. He wants the city to notify clubs that attract potentially violent crowds that the city and the Texas Alcohol and Beverage Commission will be closely monitoring any illegal behavior.
Niland said that can be part of the solution as well.
"I just want to start the dialogue now before it gets to the point where we really have a problem," Niland said.

Winner of the Silver Award and Best First-Time Author Award from the National Association of Real Estate Editors (2014).
Snob Zones (Beacon Press, May 2013) strips away the quaint facades of desirable communities to reveal the uglier impulses behind their use and abuse of local control. This series of stories illustrates the outrageous lengths to which some town leaders and reactionary residents will go to keep out higher-density, lower-cost housing. The book links this exclusionary mindset to the pricing out of young families, sprawl, and other societal woes, and raises thought-provoking questions about what it means to be a community.

Oh man two updates in one day. I just got back from the Dinan dealer. My car is in limp mode, 5 minutes of battery terminals together doesn't help, and the Dinan dealer and Dinan tried to say my ECU was garbage. Funny, because it went into their shop with nary an error code nor warning light and worked flawlessly both on the 250-miles I drove yesterday and on the way down to the shop.
I'm not sure if it messed with the AA tune or not. My gut instinct is no since my AFRs in limp mode were similar to before, but I emailed Viral to ask his opinion just to cover all my bases.
ETA: the level of amateur hour at that shop was astounding. The level of amateur hour on the part of Dinan was also astounding. The fix took less than 15 minutes.
-Go to bmwfans and look at ZUSB of latest trans control unit for my production date
-Clear all adaptations in INPA
-Enter that ZUSB in winkfp
-Enter my vin
-Hit the 'Program' button. Wait.
-Remove key
-Start car
They spent 3.5
and tried to get me to pay them for diagnostics and tried to tell me that my ECU was bad, then got snippy and basically said that AA software was responsible and that I have no idea how an E46 works nor how to flash control units and that I wasn't listening to them.
Suck it.
By the way, anyone in the Salt Lake County area, avoid Independent Import at all costs. They were nice enough to refund me (only with Dinan's approval, even though they proved incapable of flashing an EGS with a simple, prepackaged tune) but seriously, I cannot recommend a shop that has no idea what they're doing. Dinan retailer means nothing. I asked AA some noob questions and they (Andrew, Viral, and Nick, and Craig sent me the pdf for pre-install browsing) were very helpful. The folks at Independent Import were kind and helpful until I asked them to do it again, at which point they chose to creatively interpret what I said, talk me down, insinuate that I knew nothing about E46s, and tried to say my ECU was bad. I mean come-on. Amateur. Hour.
If you think I'm just being a mega-douche about this chew on this fact. They tried to clear the adaptations while the engine was running.
AA Stg2+ 325xiA? Are you stupid? Maybe a little.
I can program cars

My kids use to love eating fried shrimp. They haven't had it in ages because we couldn't find gluten free, milk free, and egg free fried shrimp.
Of course with all those restrictions you know you have to make it yourself. I have never made homemade fried shrimp before. I searched around the internet until I found one that sounded like me and came up with this one. This tweaked recipe was a hit in our house. I adapted this recipe from the Neely's.
Eggless-Egg Wash
1 cup of dairy free buttermilk ( 1 cup of dairy free milk plus 2 Tbsp of vinegar or lemon juice)
1 Ener-G egg replacer egg made according to package
1 Tbsp of Creole mustard
1 Tbsp hot sauce
1 cup GF All Purpose Flour
1-1/2 tsp baking powder
1 cup finely crushed potato chips
4 tsp paprika
1 tsp cayenne ( 2 tsp if you want it to be more spicy)
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1-1/2 pounds of shrimp, peeled and deveined
Salt to taste
Preheat your deep fryer to 375˚ F.
Whisk together your Ener-G egg, dairy free buttermilk, mustard, and hot sauce in a shallow dish.
Blend together all the flour ingredients.
Dredge shrimp in eggless wash, batter, eggless wash, and batter. Let sit a few minutes before frying to let the batter firm up. Add shrimp in small batches to the fryer ( don't crowd the basket) and cook for about 3 minutes a batch.
Drain on a paper towel, then serve.
Cook's Notes:
Creole Mustard - I didn't have any on hand and used my homemade mustard instead. I did looked up a substitute for creole mustard-- mix yellow mustard mixed with GF Worchestire sauce and hot sauce.
Crushed Potato Chips - I used my blender to make these as fine as I could. These replaced the corn meal in the original recipe.
Spicy Remoulade Sauce - this sauce was listed with the original fried shrimp recipe. Click the Neely's link above to check out the sauce recipe. I didn't use it but it looked good. It could easily be converted to an allergy free recipe. The biggest ingredient is the mayonnaise, so if you can have that or an alternative, you should be good to go.

For a few years now, Akshay Kumar has been on a professional high, delivering back-to-back hits like Housefull 2, Rowdy Rathore, OMG (all 2012) and Special 26 (2013). And now, he has achieved another feat by becoming Bollywood's highest advance income tax payer for the sixth consecutive year.
"No one will talk about these things openly, but the advance income tax payer list has thrown up a few surprises this year. For the past couple of years, Salman's films have been blockbusters at the box office, but Akshay remains way ahead of the pack in terms of his tax payment," says a trade insider.
Going by the figures, Akshay has apparently paid Rs 18 crore, outnumbering the top three Khans — Salman, Shah Rukh and Aamir. Last year, Akshay had paid Rs 20 crore. This year, Salman is in the second spot; he has paid Rs 11 crore as advance income tax. Shah Rukh Khan comes third, as he has shelled out Rs 10.5 crore as tax. Aamir, meanwhile, is believed to have paid Rs 8 crore.
Akshay, who is currently busy shooting for Anthony D'Souza's Boss in Bangkok, remained unavailable for a comment.
Meanwhile, among Bollywood actresses, it's Katrina Kaif who has apparently paid the highest income tax at Rs 4.5 crore, beating her rival Kareena Kapoor by a narrow margin. Kareena is believed to have coughed up Rs 4 crore, even as Priyanka Chopra trailed behind with Rs 2 crore.
"Of late, the amount of tax you pay has become a mark of sorts for the star's success," adds the trade insider.

now a days we are seeing games like call of duty, halo, grand theft atuo, but what about the good ol days?
now with emulators we can relive the great times of mario,metroid,donkey kong,punch out,and lots more.its hard to think of how far we have come in the last few yesrs, if you look at the jump from box like graphics to realistic beauty's you might be surprised.
a good way to show you is to look at mortal kombat 4 then mortal kombat deadly alliance. amazing right?
it seems now gamers are cot up with these HD graphics and online multiplayer that we forget what games were back in the day. now it seems like people that make games, make games that are realistic, i remember playing games that were fun that didnt make me throw my controller on the ground and rage quit. i remember the days when there wasnt a rage quit term, or kids teabaging you left and right, a time when there wasnt trollen, the only thing we had to worry about was screen lookers.now with emulators its the perfect time to go back and see really how far we have come in the last 10 years. its a great time to go back and relive the good ol days.
i think that game makers should try to make games like they were, not super realistic,but the way it was.
what do you think?

Security Strategy And Defense Doctrine
Together with the Strategic Studies Institute of the US Army War College, CLAI sponsored a conference by the Brazilian Minister of Defense, Nelson Azevedo Jobim. The Minister presented a detailed description of Brazil's plans to modernize its military forces. These ambitious plans include the construction of several conventional submarines and one nuclear submarine, the purchase of a new wing of fighter jets and the establishment of 25 army posts along the country's northwestern border to control movements in this forested, unsettled region. After the presentation, the Minister responded to several questions from the audience.
Minister Jobim, a distinguished jurist, has served as President of the Supreme Court of Brazil, and was Minister of Justice under President Fernando Henrique Cardoso. He has been a Member of Brazil's lower house of Congress and has headed the Brazilian Democratic Movement Party. He became Brazil's Minister of Defense in 2007.

The Spanish GP was IMO much more fun to watch this years than years past.
Here's the irony for me. Know what I thought of? Not Ferrari falling to pieces, not BMW being in some sort of F3 race on the same track at the same time as the Grand Prix, not Ecclestone's ridiculous hair or gigantic bank account... No. I thought about ricers.
On Speed TV but also in magazines and online either via word of post or semi-viral advertising or misguided people asking, there are spots of "sponsors" that provide parts for free to aspiring "tUnErZ" who, in turn, sport the (in)appropriate stickers on their... whips. Usually, I'd need an antiemetic. Not today though. Today I find it funny. Why? Brawn GP are leading the world constructors championship and their cars are mainly plain Jane white with margarita-mix green piping. So, at stop lights across the country there are people will loud stereos, louder exhausts, huge wheels, and more logos than Times Square on their car, and they have sponsors. Jenson Button didn't. To me, that's hysterical.
Now, as for the GP itself, there were several very aggressive moves and I did feel bad for Masa toward the end; he fought hard to bring the Ferrari in the points only to have to back off due to fuel, and he saw two cars pass him by that otherwise would have stayed behind him till the finish. His plea "What do you want me to do, I'm racing for position!?" must have broken hearts not only in the pits, but also among affluent, loafer-wearing retirees up in Napa. I hope nobody's draped sweater fell off their shoulders up there.
The first lap was a combination of hormones and bad luck, and it turned out to be very expensive for several people. In slow motion it's one thing to say "he should have seen that coming" but when you're charging toward K1 and cars come flying at you from the side at 100+ it's another thing altogether I'd imagine.

Engine Oil Dipstick Tube
I broke my engine oil dipstick tube and wanted to replace it with something other than OEM. I'm not sure how to locate one that fits my 2004 Escalade. I'm not sure if the flexible tube will work because the tube presses into the block down low and connects via a bracket up top. Any thoughts?
Thank you so much in advance.

Re: Engine Oil Dipstick Tube
Good call on Gm parts direct. What I always do is call the dealership, give them your vin and have them look up the part number. Tell them you are going to come down and grab the part. Take the number and go to Gm parts dirct . com and pay half the price!

Eddie Izzard, who starred in NBC's Mockingbird Lane pilot last season and has been recurring on NBC's Hannibal, is formalizing his relationship with the network via a talent holding deal. Under the one-year pact, he will receive an executive producer credit if cast in the lead of an NBC series. The Emmy winner is repped by APA and UK's Conway van Gelder.
Eddie Izzard Inks Talent Deal With NBC

Eddie Izzard is just plain awesome. Comedy? He's got it. Drama? He's got it. Like Denis Leary, he's one of the few stand ups that is also a great actor. And unlike Leary, his stand up is actually funny!
I loved his role on United States of Tara. I hope they develop a mystery comedy/drama for him where he can play a very unique character. Nothing supernatural though. I'm thinking a hybrid of Adrian Monk and Wadsworth (Tim Curry) from Clue.

Update 6/10/09 – I automatically assumed Letterman was referring to Bristol (the oldest daughter) during his pathetic attack. Apparently it was actually a statutory rape comment at 14 year old Willow Palin! The 14 year old Willow Palin was at the Yankees game with her mom Sarah Palin, not 18 year old Bristol Palin. Naturally, libtard Letterman was forced to deny that tonight on what's left of his show. Then Letterman has the nerve to invite the Palins to be on the show!
As it becomes more and more apparent as each show painfully passes by, how washed up liberal turd David Letterman is, he still needs to find some material that will appeal to at least some fringe elements. Last night's show was no exception, as Letterman proclaimed: Sarah Palin has that "slutty flight attendant look"
Then Letterman goes on to knock Palin's daughter Bristol, joking about how while Sarah Palin was at the Yankees game, she got "confused" during the 7th inning stretch, because Bristol Palin got "knocked up" by Alex Rodriquez.
Conservatives 4 Palin has audio from John Ziegler's radio show. The audio contains Sarah Palin's reaction. Lets just say, Palin wasn't exactly amused.

Tips For the Best HVAC Frederick MD
Anyone that has an HVAC system in their home knows how it important it is to have it properly maintained. An HVAC system that doesn't work right is something that costs quite a bit of money. This article offers you tips to keep your HVAC in optimal condition. Although most people are thinking of their heating systems during the winter months, air conditioning is also important. When installing a new furnace or heating system, make sure the air ducts are also set up to work with your air condition system. Using the ducts for HVAC Frederick MD for both heating and cooling is the most economical choice.
If your HVAC is giving you problems, tour your home before calling a technician. Note which of your rooms are hot and which are cold. This can help contractors quickly figure out the issue and how to fix it easily and quickly.
HVAC Repair Frederick MD
When a contractor gives you a list of references, be sure to make use of it. Call the people on the list and ask about the quality of the work, how closely they came to their quote and whether or not the work was completed according to the promised timeline.
Keep outside condenser fans running smoothly by cleaning fan blades and coils before the summer begins. Make sure your power is off before doing more than cleaning, such as working on the unit. Additionally, it's important to clear out leaves and other debris from the outside condenser unit.
Do you hear a clicking sound when your fan is turning? This may mean that there is something in the way of the blades of the fan. If it gets so bad that the blade bends, you must replace it, just unbending it will leave the fan unbalanced and can cause further issues.
If you are looking to save money with your HVAC system, consider turning down the air conditioner in the summer and turning the heat down in the winter. Putting on a sweater on a cold day can save you a ton of money on your utility bill, as can enjoying a cold drink instead of heavy air conditioning use.
When you buy a new air conditioning unit, don't let the salesperson talk you into too large of a unit. This will be a waste of money and won't efficiently cool your home. The longer a system runs, the more efficient it will be when it's running, so look for one which runs 15 to 30 minutes.
Whether you have an air conditioner in a window or outside your home, be sure to keep it in the shade. The cooler the air around it, and the cooler the condenser itself, the easier a time it will have of keeping the air inside your home cool as well.
Always ask for references before you allow anyone to start doing work on your HVAC system. Call several of them to make sure that they are legitimate. Many people take the word of the contractor when it comes to customer satisfaction and that can prove to be a mistake in the end.
Do not close your vents. Keep air vents open and unblocked at all times. Many people believe that closing off a vent will save them money on cooling costs. This is not true. It can actually damage your HVAC system. Closing vents can cause your cooling coil to freeze and damage the compressor.
Get a more efficient HVAC system by looking at the way your home faces. Trees block morning sunlight, stopping your home from getting too hot. You will reduce the need for AC when your home is naturally cooler.
If your home gets hot in the summer and you'd like to use your air conditioner less often, consider a metal roof. It reflects the heat right back up into the sky, allowing your home to gain less heat on sunny days. Since metal roofs are permanent, you'll save on repair and replacement costs also.
If you are thinking of installing a new roof and want it to also boost the efficiency of your HVAC, choose white materials. They reflect the sun's heat so that your attic doesn't get hot, and that means your air conditioner doesn't have to labor as hard to cool your home.
Make sure that your doors and windows are efficient. Make sure the seal is impenetrable from outdoor drafts, and that none of the air you're paying to heat or cool escapes either. Call a professional to come over to check how good you home is sealed up.
Never hire anyone to work on your HVAC system unless they are licensed and bonded. This industry is one where mistakes happen often and you want to make sure that you are protected. You do not want to be stuck paying for medical bills that are more expensive than the work you were having done.
In order to save money overnight, buy an air conditioner with a switch that sets it to be fan-only. This will push hot air outside and bring in cool air from near the ground. Turn this on just before bed so that you can cool the house as you sleep.
Be sure to check your Filter Check light frequently on any stand-alone units. If it is on, turn the unit off as you can't operate it without a filter in place. Clean the filter carefully and return it to its proper location, but don't operate the unit if the filter is still wet.
When determining which size of air conditioner to buy, first measure the area which needs to be cooled. The area's calculation can help you figure out what the size is and there are 20 BTUs for every foot squared in this area. Just measure your rooms and tally up the total square footage.
Hopefully, you have a better idea of how to take care of your HVAC after having read this great article. An HVAC system that is not cared for will cost you with large electricity bills and repair costs. Keep these tips for referral so you can get your HVAC system to last a long time.

, and
The Sweetest Thing
. Daly also directed the JJ Grey & Mofro concert film and documentary,

blog on April 2. Spotify hosted a full-album stream of the album for a week prior to its release. On the day of its release (April 16),

says the CD is "a classic slab of funky Florida-fried swamp rock, old school R&B and Southern-rock crunch...rootsy and tantalizing."
Grey is a masterful musical storyteller. "Many of the new songs," he says, "are about being your own worst enemy, and about normal folks pushing themselves over the edge." The video of
99 Shades Of Crazy
explores these same themes. Grey's lyrics and slice-of-life scenarios are filled with honest detail, helping to bring his emotionally complex characters to life in songs including
99 Shades Of Crazy

This River
. Grey's fervent delivery and the expert musicianship of the band pull the listener deep inside each track, making the album a deeply moving and engaging musical statement.

Heartsease or Brother's Wife HTML version
Chapter II.1
There's pansies for you, that's for thoughts.
Chapter 1
How far less am I blest than they,
Daily to pine, and waste with care,
Like the poor plant, that from its stem
Divided, feels the chilling air.--MICKLE'S Cumnor Hall
Arthur and Violet arrived at their new home in the twilight, when the drawing-
room fire burnt brightly, giving a look of comfort. The furniture was good; and by
the fire stood a delightful little low chair with a high back, and a pretty little
rosewood work-table, on which was a coloured glass inkstand, and a table-stand
of books in choice bindings.
'Arthur, Arthur, how charming! I am sure this is your doing.'
'No, it is John's; I can't devise knick-knackeries, but he is a thorough old
bachelor, and has been doing all sorts of things to the house, which have made it
more tolerable.'
'How very kind he is! The books--how beautiful! Just what I wanted. That one he
lent me--he talked to me of that. This Emma has--I saw your sister reading that,
and wished to see more of it. But I can't look at them all now; I must see Sarah,
she was to bring something from home.'
A Wrangerton face had great charms, though it was starched and severe, without
one smile in answer to the joyous greeting, 'Well, Sarah, I am glad you could
come. How are they all?'
'Thank you, ma'am, Mr. and Mrs. Moss, and the young ladies, and Mr. Albert, are
all very well, and desires their love,' replied a voice solemn enough for the
announcement that they were all at the point of death. Violet's spirits would have
been damped but for the sight of the table spread with parcels directed in dear
familiar writing, and she was pouncing on them when Sarah began her grave
requests for orders, and Violet felt her own ignorance and incapacity growing
more patent every moment as questions about arrangements beset and
tormented her on every side. At last she was left to enjoy the out- spreading of
the precious gifts, the devices characteristic of the kind hands that had prepared
them, and all her own private possessions--a welcome sight.
It was a happy evening, and the days that followed were full of pleasure and
occupation--in settling her treasures and making purchases. When she seated
herself in her own carriage, she thought now indeed it would be delightful to
show herself to her mother and sisters. She had no relation in London but an
uncle, a solicitor, fond and proud of her, but too sensible to wish to frequent her
house. He gave her a silver tea-pot; and being asked to dinner now and then on
Sunday was all the attention he required. Her brother Albert did, indeed,
sometimes come to town on business; and Violet, after many hopes, was, one
evening, charmed at seeing him make his appearance. Arthur asked him to stay
to dinner, after which they were going to a party.

You are herecontent / Peace Mom draws both sides to rallies here
Peace Mom draws both sides to rallies here
Chicago Sun Times
September 8, 2005
A month ago, Cindy Sheehan stood vigil near President Bush's Texas ranch with a message: Bring home the troops from Iraq so no other parent feels the anguish of losing a child there, as she did.
This week, she delivered that same message to the Chicago area, invigorating supporters who see her as a Gold Star mother leading the cause against a war she claims the Bush administration started based on lies.
"I'm back in love with my country because of you," Sheehan said Wednesday night at a candlelight vigil in Wheaton.
But the California woman was in DuPage County -- Bush country -- and the president's supporters turned out to say their piece, too.
"We support our president; we support our troops, in Afghanistan and Iraq," said Lois Finkel, 68, of Glen Ellyn. "I feel after the terrorist attack of 9/11, I think it's important to confront the terrorists on their land, and so far, I think it's working. So far we haven't had any other terrorist attacks in our land."
Finkel was among a handful of Bush supporters in a crowd of hundreds who attended the vigil at the Danada Equestrian Center organized by Sheehan supporters.
But Sheehan, 48, disagreed, telling the crowd the war in Iraq was not about fighting terrorism but about oil and handing off lucrative contracts to Bush's "buddies" to repair the war-torn nation.
"I have been working for peace, working to expose the lies, for months and months and months," Sheehan said. "I don't believe invading a country that is not a threat to the United States is a noble cause."
One mom sparked a movement
In August, she said, she was "fed up" and decided to head to the Crawford, Texas, ranch of the vacationing president, camping out and demanding to meet with Bush about the Iraq war and the death of her son, Army Spc. Casey Sheehan, 24, who was killed in Baghdad in April 2004. The numbers of her supporters and detractors mushroomed.
The president has said he sympathizes with Sheehan but has made no indication he will meet with her. Some critics, including other Gold Star families and many in the Bush administration, say Sheehan is exploiting her son's death to promote a left-wing agenda.
Her efforts shone the light on a movement of veterans and families and friends of soldiers who oppose the war.
Earlier in the day Sheehan and dozens of others picketed in front of the Batavia offices of U.S. House Speaker J. Dennis Hastert (R-Ill.). Sheehan's limited tour of appearances concludes with a rally Sept. 24 in Washington, D.C.
She said Wednesday that the sluggish federal response to victims in a flooded-out New Orleans was linked to the war in Iraq. Sheehan said funding that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers could have been used to shore up the city's collapsed levees was diverted to the war effort.
'There's no end in sight'
Many of her statements were greeted by cheers from the crowd, some of whom pumped their fists and held up signs that read, "Where was the National Guard last week?"
But another sign, held by a woman holding an American flag in one hand, read in part, "Freedom isn't free. Cindy disgraces her son and our troops."
Aaron Kaat, a 20-year-old Wheaton College student who attended the vigil, said his opposition to the war has makes for interesting dinner conversation with his family now that his younger brother has enlisted in the U.S. Marines. Kaat fears the possible outcome.
"That's scary for me, considering there's no end in sight," he said.

This statement shows so little understanding!
"I feel after the terrorist attack of 9/11, I think it's important to confront the terrorists on their land, and so far, I think it's working. So far we haven't had any other terrorist attacks in our land."
WHy doesn't he realize that the planning for 9-11 took many many years. They didn't just look up and say, "my, my...it looks like a good day to highjack 4 airplanes and run them into the pentagon, the wtc, etc..."
This man clearly doesn't believe that the terrorists are killing British, Americans abroad, and soon will have the plans and finances to attack here becuase Bush only hires incompetent people to hold office.
Can you give me the time date and place of any terrorist attacks that have occured on American soil since 9/11. Yes, the planing did take many years... unfortunately for you his statement does not even brush that issue. And, the fact that the planning took many years is disturbing... why didn't Bill Clinton do anything to investigate terrorism? Afterall, he was the President for 8 years almost directly prior to 9/11. His statement suggests nothing about anyone abroad... so what is your point? And what does the level of competence of our countries leaders have to do with terrorists raising funds. In fact our countries leaders are very competent... otherwise they wouldn't have been elected. Maybe you are trying to say that the leaders of this country aren't competent bakers and therefore the terrorist bakesale will do better than the trained American diplomat bakesale. I don't know what point you are trying to make... all of your information and points are non-sequitor and therfore are invalid.
No, you are wrong and your Republican talking points redundant. Bring your proof that the Bush Cartel did not lie to Congress to start an illegal Iraq war...Prove that Bush's lies did not cause thousands of deaths and dreadful injuries...But, if you are such a supporter of the Bush regime, then please sign up and fight the illegal war. They need more soldiers.
Iraq had nothing to do with 911.Saudi Arabia contributed 15 hijackers to 911.Saddam was a bad guy who had NOTHING TO DO WITH 911!
The white house says Cindy by promoting peace is supporting a left wing agenda.Does that make WAR a right wing agenda?
If Bush is right than Jesus is wrong:
1.Love your enemy's,Turn the other cheek 70x70 (pretty sure that means you don't go half way around the world and kill thousands)
2.You will surley know them by their fruit. (War,Poverty,Greed)
3.These people honor me with their lips,but their hearts are far from me. (Bushco)
4.Blessed are the peacemakers. (Cindy and Co)
I do not approve of Cindy Sheehan coming to my hometown. I do not approve of her peace movement at all. I think Casey Sheehan is a hero, he died fighting for our country. If Cindy wants to drive around the world preaching that her son died for nothing that's fine, but I don't think it's very considerate to the parents of other fallen soldiers. Most of the parents think that their child died for a good cause and I agree. What about the soldiers that died doing what they loved and what they wanted to do? That's why they enlisted in the first place, to serve our country. I think most parents are proud, how dare you take that away from them.

It is no secret that the world changed after September 11, 2001. Even secular Muslims, who do not display any visible proclamations of their faith and who have always been "camouflaged" amidst the secular society, have had their lives transformed. For instance, Muslim names, such as Mohammad and Akbar, have received additional unwarranted attention, especially at airport security checkpoints. Regular men and women with the "Muslim" tag have been zoomed in for the sake of security. Being treated differently on the basis of their religion has left many secular Muslims feeling confused and even alienated.
Likewise, the second generation Muslims, who have always identified themselves as European or American, for example, are suddenly finding themselves isolated with the label of 'Muslim'. They are being compelled to choose sides. There is a loud yet peculiarly subtle declaration that says: "You are either American (for instance) or Muslim." An identity that was previously a comfortable blend of both is being forcefully split. Secular Muslims, grappling with their identity, are reacting to bring about some sense to their existence in Western societies.
Many have tried to bring some sanity to the situation by embracing the identity of a globalized Muslim. They have put aside their cultural identities to integrate Islam into their lives. They also support secular beliefs as long as they don't overstep the requirements of Islam. Indeed, this identity crisis amongst these Muslims might prove to be more of a boon than a bane in the long run to erase the phobia of Islam.
Box Feature
From the pen of an agnostic Muslim
I don't have a lot of significant moments to cite in order to state that the events of 9/11 have affected my life. I'm probably one of the luckier ones. I was born here. I have no accent. I don't wear a Hijab, scarf, or any other clothing that could distinguish me as a Muslim. I don't even consider myself to be a Muslim. But when people ask me about my heritage, I always tell them I come from a Muslim background and I always find the need to defend the religion when it comes under attack.
I don't consider myself to be a Muslim for personal reasons. During undergrad, I was majoring in religious studies. My study into the various religions gave me an understanding about the purpose religion can serve: both good and evil.
9/11 was an example of the evil purpose! However, it does not define the entire Islamic religion and those who practice it for good. The most profound effects that 9/11 had for me were in my interactions with others when it came to discussing Islam. I remember a Christian friend innocently asking me if I felt there was some aspect of the religion that contributed to 9/11 and the terrorism that is oftentimes associated with it. The conversation turned into a discussion about religions and how religious beliefs and doctrines, found worldwide, can be used to justify some of humanity's most despicable acts.
Yes, I have heard of horrible, ignorant acts committed against Muslims in America post-9/11. Once, when my sister was wearing Islamic clothing, a Ridah, to go to the mosque, some neighbours yelled: "Go back to where you came from." My sister couldn't believe someone said that to her. Right after 9/11, the mosque my family attended in California decided to post a USA flag in the front yard to show that we were Americans. Many hate crimes were occurring throughout the nation; this act was a precautionary move in order to avoid more serious harm to the mosque. I have heard of my male relatives being stopped at the airport, because of their beards and names, or told they were randomly selected for a bag search, while going through security.
Personally though, I have not had to go through any of these issues. But there was a change for me post 9/11 – talking about being a Muslim or that my family is Muslim seems to have become a fascinating point now. People are very cautious about it, especially those who do not know anything about the religion or those who practice it. People are curious. The religion has been pushed to the forefront and has become a talking point. I feel it every time I hear someone mention the words 'Islam' or 'Muslim' in my presence.

So it feels weird to say it, but as of this past Saturday I am officially a HUSBAND! I married my bride after 6 years of fantastic times together. And I am proud to say.....that YES I carried at my own wedding. Now it was only a Kel-Tec 380 in the jacket pocket, but I was protected as best I saw fit for that occasion. Even after what seemed like 100 million hugs and kisses, no one was the wiser. Even my 3 groomsmen had no idea until we were in the truck on the way to the hotel that I had decided to do so. When my wife heard(wow, did I say wife?), she just laughed semi-shockingly because she knows the kind of person I am. I am thankful for my rights and if I can protect myself, I protect myself. This is going to be one great marriage!!

Congratulations, I am taking the plunge with my beautiful fiancee. The last wedding I was in the Groom carried a Springfield Champion 1911 in a Galco Miami Classic, the best man a Colt Gold Cup, in a Galco Concealable, me a Glock 23, in a Don Hume PCCH, and the last groomsmen wore a Taurus PT92 in a Bianchi Black Widow. I and all of my groomsmen will be packing. My lovely bride is aware and loves it. LOL

If the South Pacific island of Tuvalu goes under as a result of climate change will it lose its seat at the UN and will its current maritime exclusive zone revert to international waters?
Such questions may be hypothetical for now, but they are being mulled over by foreign policy wonks. Cleo Paskal considers this and other intriguing scenarios in a new paper, part of a series on climate change from the foreign affairs thinktank, Chatham House, in London.
The questions about Tuvalu are pertinent as under international law the qualifications necessary for the existence of a state include a permanent population and a define territory. So if the seas swallow up Tuvalu, could it maintain its status as a state by tethering a ship to its old island or dump sea breaks to form a new island on top of the old island.
Rising sea levels could also lead to boundary disputes as coastlines recede. Generally, a state is entitled to an exclusive economic zone of 200 miles off its coast, unless its zone runs into the zone of another country. Then the two countries split the difference, as was the case with the US and Cuba.
Ms Paskal wonders what might happen if southern Florida is submerged. If the Florida coastline retreats up towards the middle of the state should the border be moved to reflect the new midpoint? That would put the entrance to the Gulf of Mexico in Cuban waters and ships would have to traverse Cuban territory as southern Florida would be an impediment to shipping.
The US military is already thinking ahead to the challenges posed by climate change, a sure sign that the issue is firmly on the political agenda.
A recent study, National Security and the Threat of Climate Change, put together by retired US generals and admirals, made for grim reading.
It said: "On the simplest level, it has the potential to create sustained natural and humanitarian disasters on a scale far beyond those we see today. The consequences will likely foster political instability where societal demands exceed the capacity of governments to cope."

BeschreibungAfter a brief (but heroic) fling with all that is right and just, Asahel Frost has reverted to his true nature--undisciplined and feckless, according to the girlfriend who just dumped him. Now he is once again the legal nonentity known as Helmut Icicle, living the riverboat skipper life in a tiny galactic outpost with the rest of the ne'er-do-wells. That is until his sister Eve, herself genetically altered by the alien Haluk, begs Helmut to expose the Haluk's conspiracy, which threatens humans throughout the Spur worlds. Genetic alteration is tightly controlled, yet now it's running rampant. Helmut must find the culprits, but time is running out. Too many people have vanished into the secret empire where an evil genius reigns supreme. Worse yet, there's an unknown traitor in Helmut's own family who is quite willing to murder. Only one thing's clear: Helmut will emerge either triumphant . . . or dead.

Mystery Spot Illusion
Please help me with this one… at first I tought it's just a trick with a cabin that's built in a leaning way what would qualify this picture as an Illusion, but after I've read about Mystery Spot, I am not as sure as I was before. Moreover, I've heard about some gravity-vortex sights on earth and moving rocks theory that has some scientific background. So in short: do you think this is just an ordinary optical illusion, or this story has some scientific background? Please enlighten me, and comment this "illusion".

Rather handily, just as I was about to write this review Sky did something it seldom does: it dropped one of its prices. And that price, tellingly, was for its HD receiver, which, from July 1st, will be available to new and existing Sky subscribers alike for just £150 (vs the current price of £250).
Why use this information to kick off a TV review? Because it suggests - if not actually proves - that the recent launch of the Freesat service is proving enough of a success to cause at least a few ripples in the normally placid surface of Sky's previously exclusive satellite broadcasting pond. And on the evidence of the first UK TV with integrated Freesat tuner, Panasonic's TH-46PZ81, I can't help but think that those ripples are only going to get bigger…
But I'm getting ahead of myself. For even though Riyad has thankfully made my job easier by doing an in-depth preview of this TV a few weeks back based on time spent with a preproduction model, there's still a lot to get through.
For starters, as we said in our preview, the 46PZ81 is an attractive bit of kit, combining a gloss black finish with sleek lines. There's not the overt, attention-seeking glamour of one or two of today's 'supermodel' TVs, but if you prefer the strong, silent type, this Panasonic fits the bill.
Don't forget, however, that the TV chassis is just part of the story, as you'll also need to have a satellite dish installed on the outside of your home. If you already have a Sky dish then you're laughing, as the Freesat service comes from the same satellites as the Sky service. If you don't already have a dish, though, you'll have to add £80 to the cost of the TV to get one installed.
The effort of getting a dish does, I have to say, cause me to question slightly Freesat's claimed target market; namely all the people who haven't yet 'gone digital' with their TV in any way at all. For it seems to me that anyone yet to at least get a Freeview box just can't be interested in TV very much, and certainly won't want to bother with getting a satellite dish put up to receive dozens of channels they couldn't care less about.
But while I'm not sure Freesat's right with its main marketing targets, I'm certainly not saying it doesn't have a market. The fact that the Freesat receivers can work with existing Sky dishes certainly opens the door to lots of people ditching Sky's expensive subs in favour of Freesat's subscription-free offering. Plus, of course, there are many people out there who simply can't receive a good Freeview signal, and so are crying out for a 'free' expansion of their channel choice. Riyad himself struggles to receive Freeview despite living in Surrey - hardly a provincial backwater!
Alas great news for those like myself who want to get the best out of their high-definition set-ups yet without wishing to pay a penny to the Dirty Digger for his Sky service
Great to see an HDTV actually coming with HD viewing built in at last. Now just add twin tuners and a hard disk recorder ala Sky+ and I'm sold! Fed up paying Sky so much for so little.
On a slightly different note, when will you start including power figures in your TV reviews? I quite fancy a 46 inch plasma but not if it's going to use more power than an iron. I know plasmas are heavier on power than LCDs but any idea how much? Standby power figures would be useful too.
Great review btw!
Couldn't find details for the 46" version but Panasonic do have power consumption figures for the 42" model. Power consumption figures of 324W (actual use) doesn't look too good really (assuming it's same model line then powering a larger screen will eat up even more energy). Standby use figure is 0.4W "without DVB Tuner Lock On" (presumably without EPG updating itself overnight).
Links to Panasonic's model specification for 46" (TH-46PZ81B) and 42" (TH-42PZ85B) models:
The dynamically adjusting backlight 'eco' mode might help save on the 'leccy' bill though. Essentially turning down the brightness and especially contrast levels should help shave off a few watts as well as prolonging the panel's life. Daytime usage with strong ambient daylight would use more power than watching the screen at night/in dark surroundings.
Power consumption figures?
If you worry about that then perhaps it would be best looking at smaller screens, or an old CRT.

Date of Stay: February, 2012
If you are looking for a cramped, gated campground with a pool and lots of staff-run activities, this is not the campground for you. However; if you are looking for a campground with spacious shady sites, a white sand beach with clear, shallow water to swim in, and a pier to fish or boat from, this is a place to check out. The neighbors aren't "all up in your business" and are respectful of the time curfew. My husband and I spent two weeks here at the peak of winter and despite the minimal sunny weather, we thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Close to shopping, restaurants, and anything else we wanted to visit or do. Suggestions for improvement? Perhaps removing the beached pontoon boat? (Please read important additional note). One other note I feel the need to pass on: Get your refund before you leave the property, if one is coming to you. My husband and I had to leave after only two weeks due to a death in the family. We had paid for a month's stay. Here we are 5 weeks later, still waiting for our money back. I have called the park manager 3 times and asked that the owner call me personally on my last call. Sill waiting.
Date of Stay: December, 2011
This park is situated 45 minutes from Key West. There are two beaches of note nearby, one of which caters to dog owners. The owner is firm but friendly, the staff is friendly too, and the park is beautiful. Great for boat owners, too. Only wish was that the water frontage here was actually beach frontage. There is always the pool though! My husband and I celebrated Christmas here and our family appreciated seeing us on one of the three web cams on site. The owner and staff put together a great pot luck gathering for us that day as well. Made some great friends here as we stayed for an entire month. Would certainly come back if we head this way again!

Midwesterners May Suffer Headaches, Congestion and Fatigue, Loyola Allergist Says
WHAT: The Midwest is under an air quality alert for dangerous levels of mold. The Midwest mold count today is 60,000 – well over the 50,000 threshold that signals a dangerous air quality warning. "Headaches, sinus pain and malaise are the result of today's assault on the respiratory system by irritants," said Dr. Joseph Leija, an allergist who performs the Gottlieb Allergy Count, the official allergy count for the Midwest. "If you feel sick, it is likely allergies."
The official Gottlieb Allergy Count for today is: Grass – Moderate, Mold - Very High (Alert Status), Weeds - High and Ragweed – Moderate.
"Due to corn harvesting, Loyola is recording moderate and high levels of grass lately, because corn is a member of the grass family," Dr. Leija said. "The dangerously high mold count coupled with grass, weeds and ragweed is a real assault on Midwesterner's breathing health."
Dr. Leija credits the unusual allergy count to the sporadic rains, continuous heat and the high humidity. "Check your yard for standing water and your basement for any seepage," Dr. Leija said. "A solution of bleach and water can be used to kill mold spores on items."
Tips from Dr. Leija to safeguard your health include rinsing nasal passages with saline solution to remove trapped particles, washing your hair before sleeping at night and staying indoors in air conditioning.
WHO: Dr. Joseph Leija, an allergist at Loyola's Gottlieb Memorial Hospital, is solely certified by the National Allergy Bureau to perform the daily official allergy count for the Midwest. Dr. Leija has performed the Gottlieb Allergy Count for more than 15 years.
The Gottlieb Allergy Count is available free to the public, in English, Polish and Spanish, through Twitter; at www.GottliebHospital.org and at 1-866-4-POLLEN (476-5536).
WHEN: Dr. Leija is available today to talk with reporters about the high mold count, show what mold looks like as well as corn grass, ragweed and weed spores, offer tips and advice, and demonstrate the allergy count atop a roof on the Gottlieb Memorial Hospital campus in Melrose Park.
Call Stasia Thompson at (708) 417-5036 for interviews.

Michigan vs. Ohio State
U-M Soccer Stadium Ann Arbor, Mich.
Sunday, Sept. 26: U-M vs. Ohio State, 2 p.m. Buy Tickets | Live Stats
The University of Michigan women's soccer team (5-1-2, 0-0-0 Big Ten) kicks off the 2010 Big Ten season with rival Ohio State on Sunday (Sept. 26) at 2 p.m. inside the U-M Soccer Stadium. The Wolverines, who were pegged to finish eighth in the conference in the preseason poll, carry the fourth-best winning percentage (.750) into Big Ten play.
The home team has taken both meetings between U-M and OSU since the Greg Ryan era began in 2008. Despite the split results, no Buckeye has found the back of the net during the two meetings. The 2009 meeting ended when the then-No. 21-ranked Buckeyes collected a 1-0 win when an errant pass through the box bounced off a Wolverine defender and into the net. Michigan defeated the Buckeyes on the west practice field in the 2008 home finale by a 2-0 advantage.
Rank and File -- Michigan made its return to the NSCAA Great Lakes Region rankings for the first time in a little more than three years. The resurgent Wolverines appeared at No. 9 in the Sept. 21 NSCAA/HendrickCars.com regional rankings after wins over UMass (Sept. 17) and Youngstown State (Sept. 19). The Maize and Blue last held a spot on the Great Lakes list on Sept. 11, 2007. [ Complete Rankings ]
Home Cooking -- The Wolverines have not lost a Big Ten home opener since 2000, going 6-0-3 during the span. In addition, Michigan leads the Big Ten in home attendance so far this season with an average of 1,441 fans per game, making the U-M Soccer Stadium extremely friendly confines.
Mr. 200 -- Head coach Greg Ryan collected the 200th victory at the NCAA level with U-M's 1-0 win over Youngstown State. Ryan boasts a 200-101-30 record in 18 years as a head coach. He entered the 2010 season ranked 39th in winning percentage and 51st in victories all-time amongst coaches with a minimum of 10 years at an NCAA Division I school.
First Things First -- Several Wolverines notched career firsts over the weekend (Sept. 17-19). Freshmen Meghan Toohey (Philadelphia, Pa./Phil-Mont Christian), Shelby Chambers-Garcia (San Clemente, Calif./San Clemente) and Shelina Zadorsky (London, Ontario/St. Thomas Aquinas) each picked up their first career points by setting up Wolverine goals. Freshman Kayla Mannino (Bloomfield Hills, Mich./Avondale) scored her first career goal, which also represented her first point, against the Minutewomen (Sept. 17). Later in that game, freshman goalkeeper Vicky Correa-Parsons (Mississauga, Ontario/St. Martin's Secondary) made her collegiate debut.
On the Big Ten Radar -- Nkem Ezurike enters conference play with a share of the Big Ten lead in goals with five. Tori McCombs is ranked eighth in the league in scoring as one of five Big Ten players to score four goals, but she has needed the fewest games to get there. Senior Amanda Bowery (Rochester Hills, Mich./Rochester) is tied for second in the conference in assists with four. Ezurike also sits in fifth with 11 points and her five-point game against UMass (Sept. 17) is the most for a Big Ten player in one contest this season. [ Complete Big Ten Statistics ]
Quick Hits --After not scoring a first-half goal in the opening six games of the season, U-M netted the game-winner in the opening stanza in wins over UMass (Sept. 17) and Youngstown State (Sept. 19) ... Michigan packed 3,503 fans into the U-M Soccer Stadium for the dedication game (Sept. 17), establishing a new program record. The previous record of 1,887 was set on Oct. 28, 2005, against MSU ... The Big Ten Network is scheduled to televise Michigan's home game against Illinois (Oct. 31, 3 p.m.) and at Penn State (Nov. 7, 1 p.m.) live in high definition.

Simple UDP Client/Server in golang
Being a new language, the example codes are not easily available for Golang. For other languages like Java and C, just put a keyword in Google, you will find a lot examples for it. Same is not true for golang.
I faced the same issue for UDP Client and Server code. Finally I managed to code with help of few available examples.
First set the PATH for go by using following command.
export PATH=/path/to/go/bin:$PATH
Here is the code for the same.
Server: server.go
package main import ( "fmt" "net" "os" ) /* A Simple function to verify error */ func CheckError(err error) { if err != nil { fmt.Println("Error: " , err) os.Exit(0) } } func main() { /* Lets prepare a address at any address at port 10001*/ ServerAddr,err := net.ResolveUDPAddr("udp",":10001") CheckError(err) /* Now listen at selected port */ ServerConn, err := net.ListenUDP("udp", ServerAddr) CheckError(err) defer ServerConn.Close() buf := make([]byte, 1024) for { n,addr,err := ServerConn.ReadFromUDP(buf) fmt.Println("Received ",string(buf[0:n]), " from ",addr) if err != nil { fmt.Println("Error: ",err) } } }
Run this file with following command
go run server.go
Client: client.go
package main import ( "fmt" "net" "time" "strconv" ) func CheckError(err error) { if err != nil { fmt.Println("Error: " , err) } } func main() { ServerAddr,err := net.ResolveUDPAddr("udp","127.0.0.1:10001") CheckError(err) LocalAddr, err := net.ResolveUDPAddr("udp", "127.0.0.1:0") CheckError(err) Conn, err := net.DialUDP("udp", LocalAddr, ServerAddr) CheckError(err) defer Conn.Close() i := 0 for { msg := strconv.Itoa(i) i++ buf := []byte(msg) _,err := Conn.Write(buf) if err != nil { fmt.Println(msg, err) } time.Sleep(time.Second * 1) } }
Run this file with following command in another terminal
go run client.go
Kernel panic while using wireless (wifi) drivers of Mediatek 7601U chipset
After my experience with HP and theirs support team, I became much frustrated (Read it at http://wp.me/43Iof). Now I had few options left:
- Throw this garbage (HP Pavilion 15) to bin.
- Sell it on olx.
- Spend few more bucks and buy a wireless USB adapter.
Since, I found that a bug is opened for Mediatek 7630 PCIe card on launchpad, I assumed that the fix should be available with in few months. I dropped my idea of throwing it up. (Obviously, first two options were a ridiculous thought.)
Third option seems to be feasible. I bought 'Leoxsys Nano Wireless N USB WiFi Adapter LEO-NANO150N', which is based on Mediatek 7601U chipset (Actually, it was the cheapest one available on Internet. :D). I confirmed that drivers for Linux for the same chipset are available in market.
At that time, I was using Ubuntu 13.04 – 64 bit. I copy the driver (v 3.0.3) from provided CD, compiled and loaded the module. Nothing happened. Right, you heard me correct, nothing happened. Network Manager could not detect any wifi adapter. I installed wicd, and bla bla, but nothing worked.
After few days wasting, I found that you have to set following parameters in config.mk file.
I dont know, why they did not set them by default. Whatever. I downloaded latest driver (v3.0.4) from Mediatek site, compiled and as soon as I inserted module, my wifi connection was alive. This is the first time, when my notebook was experiencing WIFI. If my notebook could have dance, it would have been dancing like Shakir. I had tears in my eyes due to happiness. lol…..
Soon after, I start downloading few required software. Within 5 minutes, kabooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooom…. a black screen was displayed on screen. Everything was over. My notebook was feeling like Justin Bieber, completely screwed. I didn't lost my whole faith in humanity. After hard boot, everything was working fine. Then after few minutes, system froze. Nothing was responding.
After, a lot of search, I found that the drives which Mediatek is providing is for 32 bit system. In 64 bit system, there are lot of changes required in 32 bit driver e.g. in 64 bit system, skb->tail is a pointer, in 32 bit system, it rather is an offset to add to skb->data to obtain the pointer. The details description is provided at:
I discussed the same with Mediatek team and they agreed that this is the reason of Kernel Panic.
Following is the mail communication received from Mediatek team;
"Great thanks for your detail information. It really a issue of the 64-bit system. Did you try patches described in these websites? If so, did the kernel still crash?"
The above answered was received on 28-Oct-2013. Since then, I have not listen from the team. Neither there is any new version uploaded on Mediatek site.
I have now shifted to Mint 15 – 32 bit system. Now everything is working fine. My life just became hell due to HP and Mediatek. Now, I am able to run wifi with USB dongle. Neither HP nor Mediatek has provided any drivers for 7630 card till now (28-Nov-13). In fact Mediatek has not provided a single reply for all the mails sent for 7630 card.
I hope soon I will be using inbuilt wifi card. With this hope, I finish this post here.
A frustrated customer of HP Pavilion 15 (Ubuntu) Notebook
Last month, I purchased HP Pavilion 15 series Notebook with Ubuntu pre-installed. I assumed that if HP is selling a notebook with Linux pre-installed, all the components should be Linux compatible. What a big mistake, I made!!
As soon as I reached home, I installed Ubuntu 13.04 without any thought. I noticed that wireless adapter was not detected at all. After few hours of googling, I found that my notebook is using Mediatek 7630 wireles adapter, for which there is no drivers are available. I was shocked!!
I tried to contact HP and they clearly said "HP does not provide support for Linux." What a joke!! Then, why do you sell notebook Linux pre-installed? Let the customer identify about the Linux compatibility for each part himself. You could have mentioned about the drivers availability before selling. Dear HP, may be this fact can bring you in shock, but every user does not buy your laptop to install Windows at home.
I couldn't understand one point. When you are delivering a notebook with wireless drivers available, means you have received that from vendor. Then, why cant you make them available to user? or you can also asked vendor to make drivers available on their site.
One more point, why did you choose such vendor, while a lot of better vendors are available? Did you get some bribe? Oh! you cant tell me your business strategy. This can be your excuse for now.
I thought may be vendor Mediatek can help me. Till now, I have dropped around 4-5 mails, but seems like they dont care at all. After all, I am not their's customer. I am the customer of HP. Then how does I matter to Mediatek. Right Mediatek??
Lesson Learned: May be, you have a lot of trust in any brand, they will not bother. They will take just few minutes to break you trust.
If anyone from HP or Mediatek is reading it, I know you wont bother a bit. So, you wasted a lot of time here. You could have made few more customers frustrated in this period. I am sorry for it.
