Making and maintaining peace are not easy jobs. There are many hurdles along the way and a conflict being transformed into peace can quickly reignite.
Caritas believes deeply in peace building and invests in both practical and spiritual conflict prevention and resolution programmes to save lives and developmental gains. There is a growing urgency to this important work. Increasing inequality, high food prices and climate change will add to the competition for scarce resources and stoke conflicts. The scarcity and misuse of land can also pit communities and countries against each other.
Caritas tackles the root causes and brings communities together to make peace. It trains parish workers and volunteers in reconciliation and peacebuilding, providing them with the tool-kits and equipment – even down to bicycles! – to do the job.
Caritas thinks ahead, helping local communities alongside displaced ones to prevent conflict beginning between the two. Caritas provides skills training, education and housing – helping people get back home together, back to working and learning. Above all, Caritas changes attitudes to stop the embers of conflict becoming the flames of war.

24-hour Ligonier Relay for Life event kicks off Friday afternoon
The American Cancer Society Ligonier Relay for Life will kick off 3 p.m. Friday at Weller Field.
More than 20 teams will gather for the 24-hour fundraiser. All funds are used for cancer research or to aid/assist local cancer victims.
"We are always excited for the Relay for Life," said Eric Vogelsang chairman of the Ligonier relay.
Vogelsang, 35, graduated from Ligonier Valley High School in 1997. He earned a teaching degree at Indiana University of Pennsylvania and is in his 12th year of teaching at Ligonier Middle School.
"It's a great opportunity for the community to come together for such a great cause and never ceases to amaze and how well the community comes together for such a great event."
More than $31,000 has already been raised by the 172 local fundraisers.
"Our goal is to raise $108,000," said Vogelsang. "We lost a few teams from last year so that may be a little ambitious but it's certainly what we are rooting for. We've raised over $100,000 the last four years which I think is hugely impressive for a community as small as ours and I will be thrilled if we get over $100,000 for the fifth straight year"
This is the 11th year the Relay for Life has been held in Ligonier. Vogelsang has been the chairman for the past five years.
"I'm involved in a lot of things but this is far and away the most affirming and rewarding work I do," he said. "I work with a great team on my committee who truly will do anything for each other to make the event a success. I'm also happy/proud as chairman and a teacher to be a connection to get the youth of our valley involved which happens more and more each year."
Vogelsang said a new running event will be added this year. The Ligonier Valley YMCA running team will begin at 3 p.m.
"We will have team that is running for all 24 hours. This was an inspiration my brother, Bryan Vogelsang, had and he is working with Ligonier YMCA to make this team," Vogelsang said.
The original Relay for Life was started in 1985 by Dr. Gordon Clapp.
"It was an event where a few men (mostly Clapp) ran for all 24 hours so I love the idea paying homage to the original relay as well as promoting the healthy lifestyles by running the entire time," Vogelsang said.
A full schedule of events will keep all participants busy through the night.
"We have 21 teams registered, we have 15 committee members. On Friday night the track will be full of people, I can tell you that for sure," he said.
Activities begin 10 a.m. Friday morning, when teams set up at Weller Field.
Between 1:30 to 2:30 p.m. Ligonier Middle School and Ligonier Valley Y Care students walk to the Diamond to make donations.
At 3 to 5:30 p.m. the first musical performance will begin and the teams will start walking around the track. Snickers the Horse and Clover the Skunk will visit for photographs with the children at 4:30 p.m.
At 5:30 p.m. the Ligonier Valley Middle School Band will perform on the bleachers.
The opening ceremony will be held 6 to 6:30 p.m. Ligonier Valley High School Superintendent Dr. Christine Oldham and Mayor Ormond "Butch" Bellas will be the featured speakers. The Ligonier Valley Honor Guard will present the colors and the National Anthem will be sung by senior Allison Fox.
At that time, all teams will be announced and relay merchant hall of fame members will be introduced.
"We are starting our "Merchant Hall of Fame" this year, where we all recognize business locally who have given great support to the relay over the years," Vogelsang said. "This year's entrants into the Merchant Hall of Fame will be Giant Eagle, Bethlen Communities and Post and Rail."
The ceremony will conclude with a survivor lap followed by dinner at 6:30 p.m.
During the survivor lap, upbeat music plays as all cancer survivors take the first lap around the track as others line the track and cheer them on.
The Bricks will perform 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. The Crazy Hat Lap will be held at 8 p.m.
The luminaria ceremony and memory wall will be conducted at 9 p.m. This event is held to remember people lost to cancer, show support for those who have cancer and honor people who had cancer in the past.
"The luminaria ceremony is always the highlight," Vogelsang said. "While there will be tons of fun games and music all 24 hours, this is the reason we're here — to remember those who past from this dreaded disease and honor those who've survived. When we get feedback at the end of each year's event, inevitably, the luminaria is always a highlight. Cindy Shaffer (former chairman of the relay) is in charge of the luminaria and always does a fabulous job."
DJ Renee will entertain at 10 p.m.
There will be an egg toss at 10 p.m. followed by a Jello relay at 11 p.m. and a cheese ball contest at midnight.
Sunday morning programs include a sleeping bag relay at 1 a.m., cornhole tournament at 2 a.m., apple bobbing relay at 3:30 a.m. and poker laps at 4 a.m.
A sunrise scavenger hunt will be held at 6:30 a.m. At 7:30 a.m. a trivia contest will be held.
At 8 a.m. there will be a punt, pass and kick competition. Then a 50-yard-dash competition at 9 a.m.
A frozen T-shirt relay will begin at 10 a.m. The firefighter recognition lap is 10 a.m.
Basket ticket raffle sales end at 11 a.m. and winners will be announced at 12:30 p.m.
The final events on the schedule are a tug of war at 1 p.m., a minute-to-win-it challenge at 1:30 p.m. and closing ceremonies at 2:30 p.m.

We accepted his apology; and, ordering the landlord to bring in half a mutchkin of whisky, the storm blew by.
"Aggie, fill me a mutchkin when you're at it," said Gourlay to the pretty barmaid with the curly hair.
mutchkin, much′kin, n. a Scottish liquid measure of four gills, or forming one-fourth of a Scottish pint.
mutchkin was unquestionably a shrewd fellow, although he did his best to darken the light with which nature had endowned him.
A mutchkin o' usquebaugh for ilka man,' shouted a burly flesher, ''tis mair heartenin'.'
The patient, of course, was impressed with mutchkin's acuteness, and so was the apprentice.
Godsake, woman, let me away; there's saxpence t' ye to buy half a mutchkin, instead o' clavering about thae auld-warld stories.'

Description: Velociraptor is a prehistoric reptile that lived over 80 million years ago, right around the later part of the Cretaceous Period. They were one of the fastest and one of the ferocious dinosaurs around. Even though they lived millions of years ago, the Velociraptor still was believed to be one of the smartest reptile species. They used coordination and cooperation with the other raptors in the pack to take down their prey. The word Velociraptor actually means "swift thief". The prehistoric creature gained more popularity in the movie Jurassic Park. A lot of information about the velociraptor is talked about in this flick which gives you a very vivid mental picture on how brutal this beast really was. Almost every dinosaur has a tool on their body that assists them for their hunting needs, in the raptors case not only were they fast and strategic, but they also possessed a long hook shape claw on each hind foot that is used to rip apart their prey. Out of all the dinosaurs that existed, the velociraptor is one of my all time favorites to draw. Though growing up as a kid there wasn't many dinosaur cartoons to choose from, I often read how cavemen had drawings of them in their small living holes. It kinda makes you think if dinosaurs shared the same world with the cavemen or is it just an assumption made by man. Speaking of man, did you know that the raptor was actually only up to the knee of man, and that they had feathers all over them? They kinda looked like over sized mean looking chickens. I am going to teach you how to draw a velociraptor with 9 easy steps. The tutorial is simple enough to follow, which will make it easier to learn to draw other dinosaurs. Well that's all I have to say about this prehistoric animal, it's back to the drawing board for me, until next time fellow artist.
Step 1.
Description: In this first step what you want to do is draw two circles, with the smallest on top. This is the guide you will use for the head and the body. Next, draw in the connecting line for the neck, and then draw a long guide for the raptor's tail.
Step 2.
Description: Now what you do next is sketch out the raptor's head which slopes down forming the back of the neck. When that is done you can start sketching out both the top and bottom pats of the mouth. Be sure to define the temporal bone for the jaw, and add that tissue that stretches on the inside corner of the mouth.
Step 3.
Description: Now that the head is drawn, you can get start sketching the front part of the neck, and then draw in the top and bottom row of sharp teeth. Draw the tongue, eye, definition on the snout, and then sketch in some texture detailing for the surface of the raptor's jaw, head, and snout.
Step 4.
Description: Proceed with the continence of sketching the raptor's upper body. These dinosaur's are agile reptiles which means their bodies are lean. Once the upper part of the body is drawn you can draw in the first arm, and then the clawed fingers or talons.
Step 5.
Description: It is now time to move onto getting the rest of the dinosaur's body length drawn out. You can do this draw continuing the lining from the end of the back, then draw downward until a long tail is formed. Sketch out the raptor's thigh, leg, and foot, as well as the retractable clawed toe or nail.
Step 6.
Description: This is pretty much the last drawing step as far as drawing out the body goes. All you have to do here is draw in the other inner leg and foot like so, and then draw the other arm and clawed fingers. Sketch the detailing for the nails or claws and then carry on to the last step.
Step 7.
Description: As you can see the raptor that you drew is looking real good. To add some definition to this dinosaur, all you have to do is lightly sketch in all the texture detailing to the Velociraptor skin. This includes the creases on the toes, ankle, knees, thighs, and fingers. Don't forget to add the body detailing for muscle definition before leaving this step as well as the clean up of the drawing to prepare it for color.
Step 8.
Description: Your done. The finished sketch should resemble the image above. You can add your own personal touches to the drawing and color it if you wish to do so. I hope you learned something new, and I also hope you had fun.

We asked readers: Is date night essential to a healthy partnership? Here's a sampling of their responses:
"We put a strong focus on our marriage and have continued to do things that we enjoy. My in-laws live close to us and are usually happy to have our daughter during the day or overnight. We try for one or two dates a month. My husband and I enjoy doing interactive things like cooking classes, wine-tasting classes. We go to concerts and cultural events. We have often had date nights at home and enjoy cooking a late dinner together after our daughter has gone to bed."
– Christina in Winnipeg
"We go out for dinner every couple of months or so. It's important for escaping the stresses associated with being at home, whether or not you have children. Getting away from the house helps us reconnect and have a conversation, like we did in the courtship phase. It helps to remind us of why we fell in love in the first place. It also gives us an excuse to get dressed up, which is always good to help kick-start the libido!"
– Jennifer in Ottawa
"We never 'dated' in the 12 years prior to kids so doing it during the 12 years since kids feels contrived."
– Acjcarlson, Toronto
"We have three kids 4 years old and under. We don't have much free time, and when we find ourselves with the odd spare hour or two alone, we're exhausted. Date nights are not essential to a healthy partnership. Every relationship (especially one that includes young children) has patches of, dare I say, drudgery? A strong relationship survives when the partners can laugh together … even if it's while you're cleaning vomit off the floor."
– Marianne near Philadelphia
"Date night seems a very indulgent, North American, middle-class construct. I spend time with my husband and the kids in the evening. When they were younger, we had time alone after they had gone to bed. Now we have time alone when we go to bed. I didn't choose to have children so that I could constantly find ways to get away from them, as some seem to do with their endless date nights and yearly adult-only holidays."
– Louise in Victoria
"After a busy week of working, we're too exhausted to do all the co-ordination required to go out (find a babysitter, co-orindinate date and then actually go out). It's often just easier to hang out at home."
– Elizabeth in ReginaReport Typo/Error

Some of you likely read a Twitter post from Eric Bledsoe last night that stated his intentions to enter the NBA Draft.
Many other people saw it, as well, including ESPN's own Pat Forde. Forde and many others re-tweeted the message for their followers to see.
But wait, there was one big problem, the original message came from a fake Twitter account and was not the real Eric Bledsoe at all.
The fake account, known as EricBledsoe24, was exposed as a fraud earlier in the season by the University of Kentucky. Still, the account manages to have over 4,750 followers - including several members of the national media.
Here are some of the messages from last night:
EricBledsoe24 Entering the draft. big blue has been good thanks guys.
Forde goes all in:
espn4d Expected UK exodus picks up steam. RT @EricBledsoe24 Entering the draft. big blue has been good thanks guys.
Then says oops:
espn4d Bledsoe account looks like a fake, FYI. Regret the re-tweet
For the record, the Fake John Wall is very happy with last night's shenanigans. Believe it or not, the FAKE John Wall Twitter account has almost 19,000 followers. That is even after I interviewed the guy and he admitted that it is fake.
NOTE: No word yet on where the fake Eric Bledsoe will be drafted.

For Rahm Emanuel, the bad news just keeps coming. With his approval rating plummeting, the Chicago mayor's beloved city was ranked the fourth most miserable in America this week.
And for good reason: Chicago is at risk of becoming known more for gun violence than for any of its more positive traits. The city's homicide rate in January was the highest in a decade, and it has been a frequent example in the debate over gun control.
Other factors played into the ranking as well. Chicago's dismal winter weather, long commute times and plummeting home prices all make the city miserable, despite its ardent supporters.
Most miserable of all on Forbes' 2013 list of miserable cities is Detroit. Once the bustling center of the auto industry, Motor City now finds itself in a financial emergency on the verge of state takeover. Detroit also has the highest violent crime rate in the country. And as if that wasn't enough, home prices were off 35 percent in the last three years, the worst drop in the country.
As Detroit Mayor Dave Bing told Forbes, "Right now, it's all about survival."
Forbes released its list of the 20 most miserable American cities this week, calculating misery in the 200 largest metro areas in the U.S. by looking at factors like violent crime, unemployment, foreclosures, taxes, home prices, commute times, weather and net migration.
Unsurprisingly, Flint, Mich., ranks second most miserable, with the second highest out-migration rate in the country. Flint has been run by an emergency manager since 2011. Third is Rockford, Ill., qualified by a combination of high unemployment and high taxes.
More surprising was New York City, which ranked number 10. The Big Apple landed on the list for having both the highest taxes and the longest commute times in the country.

Larry Pelletier, manager of the Scotiabank branch in Yarmouth, looking over a summary of the branch's history.
By Eric Bourque
This is a milestone year for Scotiabank in Yarmouth and on Tuesday, Feb. 18, the bank will mark the occasion by holding an event commemorating the 175th anniversary of its Yarmouth branch.
Scheduled to start at 9:40 a.m. and last an hour or so, it will include remarks by Scotiabank district vice-president Gord Brost, along with a couple of presentations, a review of some of the branch's history and a look ahead to other activities planned for that week as part of the Yarmouth branch's anniversary celebrations.
"We have looked at a couple of things as far as some entertainment to bring in," said Yarmouth branch manager Larry Pelletier, referring to activities the branch might have during its four-day celebrations. "We're trying to do some things, celebrate with the community … make it a fun time."
The Yarmouth branch is the second oldest Bank of Nova Scotia branch. It opened Feb. 18, 1839, seven years after the original Halifax main branch.
The Yarmouth branch was initially located in a small house at the corner of Argyle and Bond streets under joint management of two agents: Stayley Brown and Dr. James Bond, according to a branch timeline.
The branch has had five locations. It moved to its current site at the corner of Main and Parade streets in 1956. It opened an expanded and renovated branch in 1978 and there were further renovations in 1992.
The Yarmouth branch is said to have been the site of the first recorded bank robbery in North America in 1861.
One-hundred-seventy-five years is a long time, Pelletier says, two years longer than the combined Scotiabank service of all the present-day employees of the Yarmouth branch.
Aside from commemorating the bank's 175-year history in Yarmouth, though, he says he hopes the event on Feb. 18 – along with the rest of the week's activities – will help focus on the positive things going on locally, notably the much-anticipated return of a ferry service to Maine. There is other good stuff going on too, he says, even if people perhaps don't realize it.
"There's a lot of business activity going on," he said. "We just don't see it all."

TIME has been called for good on the pub dubbed "Britain's toughest".
Town Hall chiefs forced the closure of The Flying Shuttle in Farnworth in April after hearing evidence of drug taking, arson attacks and staff too scared to tell customers to leave.
Bolton police licensing officer, PC Garry Lee said: "Not even John Wayne could sort out the problems. The potential was there for it to go off at any stage."
And police said they did not feel safe in The Flying Shuttle during a raid involving 13 officers.
In the days after its closure, police had to step up patrols when a gang of troublemakers started fires in and around the pub.
One woman even moved her family out of the area as she feared for the safety of her four children.
Now, a developer has unveiled plans to carry out a £100,000 refurbishment of the Highfield Road building and open a Nisa supermarket, creating up to 10 jobs.
Councillors will make a decision by January 14 and, if permission is granted, the supermarket could be open by early spring.
Janice Wood, aged 49, of Anchor Lane, said: "It's been an eyesore since the pub closed and, towards the end, the pub was out of control.
"The land isn't going to stay like that forever so if it brings jobs, it's a good thing."
But Navin Khimji, who runs Premier Foods a few doors along from the building, said: "It will harm our business and will also harm the Co-op on the same row.
"It would be better as a youth club or as a restaurant or a takeaway. At least that would be something different."
A mother-of-two, who asked not to be named, added: "Most people are against this plan. We don't need a third shop.
"It's been quiet since the pub closed and a shop could lead to people drinking on the street."
Bolton-based property owner Lee Das, who owns a Best One shop in Leigh, submitted the proposals this week.
He has asked the council for permission to install a shop front, security shutters to doors, a cash machine and wheelchair ramps.
If permission is granted, the shop could open from 6am to 10pm, though Mr Das said it could start trading later in the morning.
Mr Das already has permission to use the land at the side of the pub as a car park and he does not have to apply for an alcohol sales licence because the pub had one.
He added: "This would be the area's first supermarket and I am confident that, once people see what we have got planned for the building, they will approve.
"We are creating jobs and refurbishing an eyesore building by installing a supermarket that will offer excellent value to shoppers."

Work responsibilities
I advise banks and project sponsors on their project financings.
How did you start playing golf?
I used to play golf with my grandfather in school holidays. He was a long-time member of Manly Golf Club and played golf three to four times a week from the time he retired until he passed away. He encouraged me to join a club when I was at university.
I joined NSW Golf Club when I was 21 and Royal Sydney in 1999. I am still a member of both wonderful clubs. The views at NSW are unbelievable – it's a great place to take overseas guests. I still love to see the look on their faces when they walk down the fifth fairway at NSW towards the ocean for the first time.
Current playing handicap is 11, which is my lowest so far.
Rule most often broken
The one I notice most is when people ask their playing partners what club they used before they take their own shot. Of course, I would never do that.
What clubs do you use?
Henry-Griffitts irons, TaylorMade RocketBallz driver and metals. I have an Odyssey Black Series putter No. 9, (which is the same shape that Phil Mickelson uses) which I love. I bought it in Singapore a few years ago and discovered that it is a slightly different model to the model that was imported into Australia, so I never see anyone else using quite the same putter.
If you could play anywhere, where would it be?
I love going to new places to play golf. My next place to visit is Glasgow, where there are many famous courses nearby, like Turnberry and Prestwick. Having said that, if someone offered me the chance to go and play at Augusta National, I would book my flights immediately.
Memorable moments
I went on "Fairway to Heaven" two years ago. The organisers take one or two groups to Scotland every year and you play five or six courses. Aside from the wonderful golf courses, a feature of their weeks away is combining mindfulness and golf, which was a first for me. For anyone interested, you can find their website on the internet, but be prepared to talk about your feelings in front of strangers.
Most like to have a round with
Anyone on the Ryder Cup team during the Ryder Cup. If only they had guest spots for weekend players. For those that don't follow it, it has the atmosphere of a soccer cup final, but on a golf course. Most players say that the pressure is suffocating and they have never felt anything like it.
Why golf?
It's tantalising. For every good round or shot there are many that aren't so good, but the thought of playing better next time keeps you coming back. It's also a great way to meet people and travel.
Thoughts from the 19th hole
Golf is one game where you are expected to referee yourself – so it's really one of the last great examples of self-regulation. As a banking lawyer, that seems kind of nostalgic.
The Australian Financial Review

I am pretty sure each software developer has been thinking at least once about dumping his/her workplace and getting into freelancing. I have always been dreaming about being my own boss, being able to accept only projects that are really interesting and of course having a flexible schedule. And by flexible schedule I mean to be able to work 3 hours one day and 12 on the next. Or working two hours from 7 to 9 in the morning and then again work a few hours in the evenings.

About ThreeStar
The ThreeStar program is designed to focus on these areas, identified as critical to ensuring the success of Tennessee communities:
- Jobs & Economic Development
- Fiscal Strength & Efficient Government
- Public Safety
- Education & Workforce Development
- Health & Welfare
Participation in the ThreeStar program is based on an annual evaluation and activity plan. Local community leaders and Joint Economic and Community Development Boards are encouraged to implement activities that will impact the community's competitiveness in a global economy. Participating counties (and cities in these counties) will be eligible for a four percent discount (for eligible projects) on both the business development and community development ability-to-pay calculations (CDBG and FastTrack) each year the county fulfills the requirements of the ThreeStar program. Additionally, only cities located in a county that is an active participate in the ThreeStar program will be eligible to participate in the Tennessee Downtowns program. Finally, there is an annual grant for Tier 2 and Tier 3 counties to serve as seed money for activities (not to offset general operating expenses) focused on improving at least one of the measured areas of the program: health and welfare, public safety, and education and workforce development.
Each year, TNECD will provide participating counties with a scorecard that documents progress indicators in the five focus areas. These indicators are used to aid the county in evaluating these key areas, the scorecard will document progress toward achieving the community goals set by local community leaders and JECD Boards.
The scorecard and activity plan is designed to assess and reward each county on its unique progress in the three scored areas identified in their ThreeStar Activity Plan. It is not a competitive system; counties compete only with themselves. Each county can address local issues through proven solutions by collaborating with other communities to share best practices and pool resources.

jungle gym
This pattern is available for $7.00 USD buy it now
a playful overalls pattern from comfort wool
jungle gym is knit top down, no seaming. it uses a linen ridge stitch around the edging and straps to prevent drooping. two buttonholes allow for longer use and adjustable sizing.
Some people found this line confusing and worked the one row with a button hole four times:
"Repeat rows 1-4 one more time, and then repeat four buttonhole rows."
What you really are doing is working the "Buttonhole Rows" section once more. There are four rows in this section. I will reword it to read:
"Repeat rows 1-4 one more time and then repeat "Buttonhole Rows" once more
Sizing: Newborn (3mo, 6mo, 12mo, 18mo)
Yardage: 225 (250, 275, 325, 425)
there are two ways to purchase: personal or seller.
- purchasing the personal pattern allows you to knit for your self, gifts or good ole' bartering only
- the seller version allows you to sell an unlimited number of garments made from this pattern. it is a lifetime license. no sample required. Due credit to pattern writer must be given. Text is included in the pattern. Links must also be included linking to pattern writer when sold online.
- interested in selling, but want to try it first? you may purchase the personal pattern first. when you decide to sell, you may purchase the seller pattern within 30 days, and will be refunded the personal pattern price. I will only issue refunds to the PP address who bought BOTH patterns.
- If you would like to purchase this as a gift, please email me ahead of time. This pattern is NOT to be distributed, either electronically or in hard copy.

The BBC has announced a new Live Restart feature for BBC iPlayer, allowing you to rewind and restart live TV programmes.
The feature, which launches today on the desktop version of iPlayer, allows you to instantly rewind up to two hours of live TV content.
This means you no longer have to wait for a programme to go live on iPlayer if you miss the start.
Requests to watch live TV on iPlayer – as opposed to catch-up TV – accounted for 22% of total BBC iPlayer requests on computers in April 2012.
The Live Restart feature will come to the mobile, tablet and smart TV versions of BBC iPlayer later this year. You can read more about it in this BBC blog.
More after the break
Dave Price, Head of BBC iPlayer said: "We all know how frustrating it is when you're stuck in a traffic jam, or delayed on the tube, missing the critical start of your favourite BBC programme. Live Restart solves this... With one simple click of a button viewers can skip back to the beginning of a live programme."
BBC iPlayer added a high quality mode recently, plus 'HD' content, while also announcing that Match of the Day would be on iPlayer from next season.

That's not what they do. The scripts I talked about automatically check out CVS and diff against the latest 2.4.X-preY kernel, then upload the resulting patch to oss.sgi.com. The "latest 2.4.X-preY kernel" part of the script is broken atm. If you want to try patching xfs against a -pre kernel, I'd suggest using the mergetrees kernel, that's how I usually merge in a new kernel. You use it something like: mergetrees linux-pre linux linux-xfs linux-pre-xfs where the last 4 arguments are the -pre kernel, the (previous) vanilla kernel, the current linux-xfs tree (based on the vanilla kernel) and the resulting tree with the -pre and the -xfs code. It's not magic, but it can make merging easier sometimes. -Eric -- Eric Sandeen XFS for Linux http://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs sandeen@xxxxxxx SGI, Inc.

"Yes, from Lobenski's, the jeweller's in the Nevski," she replied.
He had often seen her at the Opera and driving in the Nevski Prospekt.
In the morning I would walk the Nevski Prospect, and meet nice-looking people, and be happy all day.
"If only we could get to Nevski Prospect," gasped the Duchess.
The Nevski was swinging softly at her anchor, her nose pointing to the land.
We left the house together, and because it was a fine night, walked down the Nevski.
In honour of which battle he ever after bore the added name of Nevski (of the Neva).
As if in answer, another flag fluttered up the Nevski's halliards.
The Nevski now presented her broadside to the Saigon, and all of her six guns were trained upon the English steamer's decks.
Yet apparently everything went on as usual: the theatres were as well filled; the Nevski as crowded and gay.

Steelers players come to LeBeau's defense
In the aftermath of a 55-31 loss at New England, the Steelers' usually reliable defense has faced intense scrutiny, and defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau finds himself in the crosshair of criticism.
It's an unusual predicament for the stoic LeBeau, whose defense has been No. 1 in the NFL five times during the past decade, including an 8-8 season in 2012.
When asked if LeBeau is at fault, safety Troy Polamalu said, "It depends on who you're asking. Not in my opinion."
For the most part, the players hold themselves accountable. They insisted that LeBeau's game plans are effective, but they have failed to execute them properly.
"Somebody has to take the blame," linebacker LaMarr Woodley said. "That's just the way it is when you're having a bad season. Last season I was the one to take the blame. It comes with the territory. Now people want to blame the defensive coordinator."
"There's nothing anyone can say outside our group about coach LeBeau that bothers us," safety Ryan Clark said. "We know what kind of man he is. We know want kind of work he puts into us not just as football players but as men. We don't have to defend him. His resume speaks for itself."
While the offense has struggled to generate points, the defense has played well enough to keep the team within striking distance in most games. That, of course, was until Sunday, when the defense withered amid a 31-7 Patriots barrage to close the game.
"The bottom line is we have to keep the score where our guys have a chance to win it," LeBeau said Thursday. "We clearly did not do that (against New England)."
The Steelers, ranked 12th defensively this week, will try to turn things around against the Buffalo Bills (3-6) on Sunday at Heinz Field.
"We don't have the luxury of hindsight," LeBeau said. "We had a very good week of practice. You will see an improvement."
The Patriots exposed every weakness of the Steelers' defense. Just when the unit thought it had figured out how Oakland quarterback Terrelle Pryor covered 93 yards for a touchdown, it surrendered a franchise-record 610 yards of offense to the Patriots.
LeBeau said the problem was a breakdown in fundamentals. The Steelers often were in the wrong places at the right time, and Tom Brady torched them for 432 yards and four touchdowns.
"We've gotten away from (fundamentals), and that's on me," LeBeau said. "We're leaving too many windows, and we're going to close the windows."

Sosua is on the north coast of the Dominican Republic and it is approximately 10 minutes east of the Gregorio Luperón International Airport (POP). The flight north to Miami is about 1.5 hours. The drive from Sosúa south to Hacienda del Caballo is about 5 minutes. The area surrounding this property has traditionally been farm land, but a few areas have been developed into exclusive residential communities. A majority of the land, however, is still open to the equestrian lifestyle. As such, there are various small farms available that can be used as ranch estates. In addition, the area is prime for equestrian riding trails.
In the event a more expansive Equestrian Center is desired, Hacienda del Caballos can be purchased in conjunction with other properties. This, it can be purchased either as an Equestrian Center by itself for a price of $2,600,000, or as a "Ranch Package" which includes additional ranch land and another residence for $3,800,000. For a visual view of these options, please Click Here for an Aerial View.
Please note that on the Aerial Map referred to above, the area outline in yellow is the Hacienda del Caballo Equestrian Center; the area to the north outlined in orange is an additional 30,000 square meters; and the area outlined in light green is another 60,000 square meters that could be included in the "Ranch Package".
RANCH PACKAGE (Includes:)
>– An additional 30,000 square meters of land to the north.
>– An additional 60,000 square meters of land to the east
In addition, there is a single family residence to the northeast of Hacienda del Caballo that could be included in the Ranch Package. But again, the Equestrian Center is available as a stand alone property. The other options are available only if desired. and the price will be discounted accordingly.
Highest Value and Best Use: – Hacienda del Caballo can be held as a single Equestrian Center or developed into a commercial Equestrian Resort or rental property. It would also be ideal for an equestrian community with small ranches and a central equestrian center. Each ranch house could have its own acreage for privacy. Because of the farm-like nature of the property, it could be laced with riding trails that have both ocean views and shaded pathways. One could ride around the surrounding mountains for hours, days, or even weeks.

BOURNEMOUTH skipper Martin Miller has stoked the fires ahead of tomorrow's derby with New Milton by declaring that Sarisbury hold the upper hand in the Division One title race.
New Milton have been at the summit of the league all season but hold only a slender advantage over Sarisbury with two games to play, with top-four opposition in Bournemouth and Basingstoke & North Hants awaiting the Green and Golds on the final two weekends.
Sarisbury travel to mid-table Liphook & Ripsley tomorrow before meeting Bournemouth in eight days' time and Miller says the villagers are in the box seat to go up and put to bed memories of missing out in 2012 due to ground grading issues.
Miller told the Daily Echo: "Must-win games are horrible to play in but I think I would rather be in Sarisbury's position.
"Basingstoke are a good side and while I'm not necessarily saying they will beat New Milton, at this stage of the season you want to be top of the table and playing teams near the bottom, rather than the teams at the top.
"We're looking forward to the visit of some familiar faces on Saturday and we're going to be all-out to win it. We're clearly underdogs with them at the top and us below but we will go into the game believing we can win and hopefully we can cause an upset.
"It's a shame that we're not involved in the title race. I remember saying earlier this year that we could have been top and I maintain that even now.
"It's been a frustrating season but we're going to try and finish as high up the league as we can."
Nick Park, Mark House and James Park, all heroes of Bournemouth's famous Cockspur Cup triumph in 2009, are all named in the New Milton squad.
New Milton head into the showdown at Chapel Gate (12.30pm) off the back of a dramatic victory over Totton & Eling in the t20 Plate final last Sunday, which they won in a super over.
Bournemouth: Bridgen, Hayward, Miller, Schmulian, Hurley, Russell, Kidner, Matthews, Pack, M Jones, R Jones.
New Milton: N Park, House, J Park, Elliott, Lawes, R Beck, L Beck, Loader, Collison, Gargaro, Watts.
- In the Premier Division, Lymington will hope to build on their shock victory over high-flying South Wilts when they travel to new leaders Havant (12.30pm).
Lymington: Beetham, Ambrose, Cowley, Ellis, Freeman, Hand, McCann, Metcalfe, Mortimer, Rogers, Scott.
- Bashley are primed to take on visitors Hampshire Academy (12.30pm) as they bid to halt their recent slide down the standings.
Bashley: R Morris, Porter, Thurgood, J Morris, Morgan, Baker, Friedman, Thomson, R Grierson, Neal, Nash.

A nation's driving force
The dust has settled on the Ordos International Circuit - as it does daily over everything and everyone out here on the high plains of Inner Mongolia - and Rodolfo Avila is reflecting on what he has just witnessed.
The 24-year-old Macanese driver has been in the thick of the action out on the track, staking his claim for this season's Porsche Carrera Cup Asia title with a second in round five on the Saturday and - thanks to a cool, calm and collected effort on Sunday - taking his first chequered flag of the season in round six.
The entire 26-car field has been treated to something a little bit special over the weekend.
The unique Ordos circuit - built in the shape of a horse, the animal that helped give rise from these parts to the great Mongol Genghis Khan and his all-conquering hordes - has been tested by the series' Porsche 911 GT3 Cup cars and has come through with flying colours.
And then there's the little matter of the setting. Ordos - a city surrounded by ancient history - today lies bustling away in testament to the ambition of modern China.
Neither fact has been lost on Avila, either, and the Team Jebsen driver looks on wide-eyed at all that he has seen both at the track and beyond.
'I have to say this is an interesting track, certainly very different and very different for China,' he says. 'It's fun to drive and this has been a great experience.
'As for the city, it is still growing but it is clean and nice and modern and in a few years I am sure that it will be a very nice city to be in.'
The Chinese government is certainly hoping so. At the moment, the expansion of Ordos almost beggars belief. Dubbed China's 'empty city', here stand thousands of buildings - from tower blocks to luxury villas - most of them empty. Conservative estimates put the hoped-for population at more than a million - others say more than 10 million was the plan - but at present it stands at less than 500,000.
The deserts that surround Ordos are dotted with massive construction sites, satellite suburbs springing up everywhere, linked by sprawling motorways. And everywhere you look there are recently planted trees, saplings mostly and their numbers must count in the millions. The idea is to keep nature at bay, to stop the erosion that comes with construction and with the reason Ordos has fast become so important to China's dreams: coal.
The earth in these parts holds around one-sixth of China's coal reserves, the fuel which is helping the nation expand. The reward for the people of the these parts, or more likely those who have moved here with a keen eye for investment, is a gross domestic product that has been growing at more than 25 per cent per year for almost decade.
Ordos has quickly become among China's richest cities - with a per capita GDP of some US$21,600 which is more than twice that of Beijing. And you can see that wealth out on the streets, which brings us back to the reason we are here: the cars.
Taxis out here seem to be an endangered species - a rare thing for any city in China - because the rise in wealth has been matched with a passion for motoring. The latest models of almost every make imaginable, from Kias to Cayennes, cruise the city streets at all hours.
There are now close to 20 million new cars being sold annually in China, making it the world's largest car market, and that's a point definitely not lost on Oliver Schwab, who has helped bring the Porsche Carrera Cup Asia series here to Ordos in his role as the brand motorsport manager in China.
China is now Porsche's third largest market (behind the US and Germany) but, with an estimated 14,000 sold each year, is expected to be second only to the US next year. And the Porsche series helps spread the brand name - and the good will.
'Race weekends like this give people in China an opportunity to see how you can enjoy driving a car,' he says. 'Most cities here are congested so the driving experience here is different. These events show people what the spirit of driving is all about.'
And the spirit of racing. The very nature of the Ordos track, with its twists and turns, its ups and downs, made for some thrilling action.
'We heard about this track last year and we heard it was going in a different direction to, say, the tracks in Shanghai or Zhuhai,' says Schwab. 'We saw the layout and thought it was suitable for us and suitable for a new experience. They are certainly getting that. Look at the landscape, how it is being reshaped - it's exciting and it is interesting. It is Porsche's job to be at the forefront of motorsport in China and that is what we are doing here.'
For LKM Racing driver Darryl O'Young - a winner of the Porsche series in both 2006 and 2008 - it was a weekend of mixed fortunes, finishing fifth on the Saturday and second on Sunday. But he walked away impressed by what he saw.
'When there is dirt on the track you have to be a little bit tentative,' he says. 'It gave us a chance to be more aggressive as the weekend wore on and the track got more use. It's great and can only get better.
'As more people in China get into motorsports, tracks like this one can only grow and improve. To be here first is a thrill as it will be watching the development of the sport in China.'

These sunglasses complement your look with an accessory that is a cut above the rest. True to the Edel-Optics motto "SEE AND BE SEEN", you are on a par with celebrities, impressing in every environment.
The frame is specially designed for men. Sporting clear lines, New School Cool meets traditional quality. Eyewear is in. Full rim is extremely popular, because you feel that you get more eyeglass for your money. It is not just about their resilience, but also about the visibility of material and design, which are of the highest quality. The rectangular shape of the frame exudes self-confidence and power. Especially for round shaped faces, the rectangle is a perfect counterpoint. The noble metal frame allows for filigree lines and creates an extraordinary lightness in appearance. In addition, metal eyeglasses are virtually indestructible - strong, flexible and corrosion resistant. Black eyeglasses are a must-have. They can be combined with anything and refine any style. Whether at your desk, in a club or at a fashion show - black always fits. Green glasses only slightly distort the colours. They are, therefore, well suited for driving and also for keeping a clear overview. You can rely on the guaranteed UV400 protection, for all the sunglasses in our shop.
If you press the button "order with prescription lenses', our digital dispensing optician will install the lenses in the original tint or as you wish. Your dioptre values are the only thing we require from you.
If this pair is your favourite, you can order them without hesitation. We have them in stock and can send them off immediately at a super affordable Edel-Optics price. And because Edel-Optics is a paradise for bargain hunters, you can get this top model at an incredibly low price. What is labelled as "in the sale" at other online shops, is for us "all-day-everyday" prices.

Ask Health Experts and Get Answers to Your Health Question ASAP
The symptoms of dizziness, lightheadedness, strange eye sensations, etc can all be related to anxiety/panic disorder. Other causes include stress, dehydration, thyroid disorder, vitamin deficiency, anemia, abnormal heart rhythm. I recommend that if not already done, you see your doctor for basic blood work such as CBC, CMP, TSH, Vitamin B12, B6 levels as well as an EKG and physical exam. This does not sound like a tumor, so I would not worry too much about that as a cause. But I do recommend that you see your doctor regarding this symptoms.
Have you seen your doctor for it? Any medications/ therapy??
What dose?
You may benefit from increasing dose of Zoloft and Xanax since at this dose your anxiety is not well controlled. I recommend you see your prescribing physician regarding this.
I understand. Working with a therapist about this will be beneficial.
Correct. I don't think your symptoms are indicative of a life threatening disease.
If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask. Otherwise please click accept.
The ache is likely an inflammation of the rib cage from exercise, etc. You can take ibuprofen 600mg every 6 hours as needed.
