Anybody playing/played any Ludum Dare #21 submissions?
If so are there any that people have come across that they definitely think are worth a try? I'd spend some time playing a few randoms but time isn't really something I have a lot of so I'd rather go off recommendations, especially considering there are 600, which is pretty daunting.
I've given a couple a go already, Notch's, which was cool but I, like many others from the sound of it got up to that ghost boss a few times, got my arse handed to me a few times and gave up with my tale between my legs. Out of interested if anybody has managed to get past that boss how close was it to the ending? Also, if you can hide spoilers on this forum, what happens after that?
Also played "Upset", which I'll give a willing recommendation. http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/ludum...eview&uid=3164
It's not with out it's problems but is, in my opinion, very close to being something really quite special and mostly certainly would have been had it had a bit more time (that's Ludum all over though I guess). Reminiscent of Digital A Love story although definitely more of an actual game than Digital was, and as it is, isn't quite as good.
Edit: Also, seeing as this is RPS and talented folk visit here, if you submitted something yourself I say you can and should freely plug it to the rest of us. I'll plug my blog if it makes you feel better, http://www.namelessblog.co.uk/
There you go, have fun not reading that. Now plug away.

Would you please post the xserver-xorg-video-intel version?...
aptitude show xserver-xorg-video-intel
and also please aptitude search i965
thanks for reply!
this was one of the firsts guide I used but for me it was not working.
20 minutes ago I found a page where is a detailed description to install a different kernel - which I tried see SEE HERE
I am using now the Linux bt 3.2.15-030215-generic kernel. Actually I am not sure if that was a good idea.
After installing this kernel ---> i915 is loaded without any problems!
Now I am able to change the resolution, second screen is in extended mode (YESSSSS!) Hotplug D-Sub (VGA) is working (YESSSSS! again) - HDMI output (third YESSSSS!) only a sound problem on HDMI but ok
Battery cosume gives me appr. 3 hours - but I think this is normal regarding the optimus stuff.
For me is this solution a good working one!
But I will play around with the Backtrack kernel and try to install the i965 driver - hopefully with success - will report.
just some confusion about glxspheres - see below - please give me more information about that behavior.

sure will post it when I am @home
another 2 questions:
is there an overview about the modification in Backtrack kernel 3.2.6?
is it possible to apply the modification from Backtrack kernel to 3.2.15?
The i8xx, i9xx come included in the xserver-xorg-video-intel.
According to what I read in the links I posted ( http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Intel_HD_Graphics) and I want to quote:
"The Intel HD Graphics (sometimes also called GMA HD) is the Graphics Memory Accelerator (GMA) integrated in the Intel Core i3, Intel Core i5 and selected Intel Core i7 processors. Sandy Bridge architecture processors use HD Graphics 2000 or HD Graphics 3000 model, Ivy Bridge architecture processors use HD Graphics 2500 or HD Graphics 4000. "
Some people with Intel Graphics Second Generation are fixing their problems with the BT5 kernel and the i915 driver, as shown by WepWapWee.
Intel Third Gen which I see is the HD4000 (Ivey Bridge) and is not working well with the i915 module. In your case you upgraded kernel. It fixed it, so I'm seeing that Ivy Bridges HD graphics or at least the HD4000 needs a different kernel to be able to use i915..Perhaps you wont have 100% operation, but most of it.
Now the i965, is a support for the GMA HD, and what keeps my attention is the fact that upgrading kernel without changing the version of xserver-xorg-video-intel helped to make the i915 handle the card...
All seems to point towards xserver-xorg-video-intel under the actual BT5 kernel is not able to handle Ivy Bridge HD4000 Intel Cards (Third Gen).
I want to think that in case you do not want to upgrade kernel, you have the i965-vap module to work out the issue as another option.
Any comment on this matter will be very helpfull to all comunity and people who have that video card.
And tr00n3r, if your fix keeps workig, it sure is a great contribution....

Thanks for clarification, maverik35.
I would like to use the Backtrack Kernel more than any other cause it comes with the distri and this has imo a good reason. It's well tested with all provided tools. So it makes sense for me to use the kernel provided by the devs.
But hopefully the developers will fix the behavior with Intel HD 4000 and Backtrack in further releases. I don't know the release circle from Backtrack and I am also not a dev - more the TRY-AND-ERROR-USER to get more expirience with Linux.
But I think we have a good documented attitude for fixing it. Cause there are lots of others out there and Intel will not stop producing CPU's included graphics card - unfortunately
When I was try to install the i965-vap module lots, really lots of dependencies were missing. Will post the output when @home. And it is really hard work to take over all the dependencies from http://packages.debian.org/wheezy/ . But I am also afraid of adding that repository to get the graphics working.
What do you think? Should I give it a try with adding it?
I am glad to help others so I will comment anything I will find out.
Will come back with my output in appr. 1 hour.

Hy guys, I have Dell INSPIRON 5521
Have Core i3-3217U, HD4000 (Ivey Bridge) with ati radeon HD 7670M
I upgraded to kernel to 3.2.15 but when i STARTX i got black screen with [OK]
standing in upper right corner, just hang like that!
I managed: aptitude show xserver-xorg-video-intel
and i saw this line:
This package provides the driver for the Intel i8xx an i9xx family of chipset, inluding i810, i815, i830,
i845, i855, i865, i915, i945 and i965
shouldn't this last one (i965) solve the problem???
did you installed the xserver-xorg-video-intel drivers?
what does your /etc/default/grub look like? any kernel options for startup (i915.modeset=1 nomodeset i915.i915_enable_rc6=1 i915.semaphores=1 pcie_aspm=force)?
to check:
should give you the output which version you have installed and from which repoCode:apt-cache policy xserver-xorg-video-intel
if it is not installed - add ppa:glasen/intel-driver
1) apt-get install python-software-properties
2) add-apt-repository ppa:glasen/intel-driver
3) apt-get update
4) apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel
if that is not working try as step 4 apt-get upgrade and apt-get dist-upgrade
another solution would be to use the new Kali Linux - for me video was working out of the box

Lake Washington girls swim team wins state title
Athletes on the Lake Washington girls swim team, along with head coach Dave Hale, couldn't help it. The emotion was overwhelming. But the tears were not of sorrow or even pain, they were of elation and exhilaration after winning the 2A Washington State 2A swim championship Saturday at the King County Aquatic Center in Federal Way.
The Kangs scored 235 team-points to edge Tumwater (205) and 36 other high school teams during the final standings. This is also the first year that Lake Washington has competed at the 2A level.
But the tears were more than justified. The Kangs pulled off a monumental and rare team effort by winning the state trophy with no individual first-place finishes and being loaded with underclassmen.
Depth was the key to the Lake Washington title, placing two or more swimmers in the top 16 of state during three separate events.
The first of those events came during the 50-yard freestyle, as Clare Kucinski-Murphy led the way for the Kangs in second place with a time of 25.15 seconds. Kang Jessi McKinney finished seventh overall (25.81), while freshman teammate Hannah Walker finished 11th (26.43).
Kucinski-Murphy, who is just a sophomore herself, made a statement during the meet. She also took second place in the 100-yard backstroke with a time of 1:00.99. Teammate and freshman Gabriel Rector followed just behind in fifth place, with a time of 1:01.81 during the finals of the same event.
But one of the biggest strengths of the Kang team came from its diving squad with three athletes placing in the top 16. As a team, the Lake Washington divers dominated by scoring 117-team points, 42 points ahead of second place Sumner. Individually, freshman Nadia Popovici finished second in state with a score of 304.60. Teammate Shay Sarda finished fourth overall (294.95), while Amara Cairns finished 13th (222.80).
The Kangs relays also supplied a plethora of team points and high finishes.
The 400-yard freestyle relay team of Laura Chopp, Kucinski-Murphy, McKinney and Jayna VanStone finished second overall with a time of 3:46.26.
The 200-yard medley relay team took third, as Rector, McKinney, VanStone and Kucinski-Murphy stood on the podium after touching the wall in a time of 1:55.26.
VanStone also finished fourth in the 100-yard breaststroke (1:10.40), while McKinney placed seventh in the 100-yard freestyle (55.95).
The Lake Washington 200-yard freestyle relay rounded out the scoring events for the Kangs, as Brooke Bonnell, Chopp, Hannah Walker and Maya Iba finished sixth in state (1:47.50).

THIS week again only four games survived the wet weather as waterlogged pitched caused another spate of postponements in the Taunton & District League.
Friday night's Rowbarton Charity Cup tie between Sampford Blues and Minehead Reserves ended in a 3-1 victory for the Blues.
Goals from Luke Perry (2) and Craig Lawrence fired Sampford into the next round, while Alex Pope netted for Minehead. In the League Knock Out Cup, Westonzoyland beat North Petherton 2-0 thanks to goals from Paul Burrows and Sam Edmunds.
The pitch was passed fit at a 9.30am inspection and again just before kick off after the heavens had opened.
Sydenham Rangers booked their place in the quarter finals of the Seward Cup with a 4-2 victory over Wyvern Guns at Castle School.
Jake Adey bagged a brace for Rangers, while Adam Knight and Garth treasure scored one apiece.

text: Wavinator 2017 Report post Posted July 12, 2013 I'm trying to build a trade off between how players train skills. I've got about 40 general skills, things like Gunnery or Science or Survival, and each has a number of specializations which enhance the general skill. So Gunnery might have Light Arms, Science might have Biology and Survival might have Arctic. I'd like the player to choose between putting resources toward the general category or specializing in a part of it. My question is what the bonus should be for specializing and how it should work. Initially I was just going to make specialization a cheaper way to add a +1 or +2 or whatever, but constrain it to a specific category, but that's pretty dry. Another thought was to remove critical failures, but again that wasn't very inspired. I should note that skills are meant to be tested against the general category only, so that someone with the appropriate skill level should pass a test regardless of specialization, but should get a more favorable result for specializing. Skill levels are open ended, requiring geometrically more resources each time you gain a level in the skill, though without the more lazy +1, +2 etc I'm not sure about specializations. Any ideas? What should you get for putting the effort into Light Arms as opposed to just Gunnery? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brumbies coach Jake White is adamant that no player ''deserves to get any free rides'' as the Quade Cooper saga continues to simmer.
But he said the sport needs to do everything in its power to ensure more stars such as Cooper and Sonny Bill Williams don't change codes - as long as it isn't at the expense of team values.
White has installed one of Super Rugby's most envied cultures at the Brumbies since arriving in Canberra last year.
The rugby community was in shock on Monday night when reports surfaced suggesting Cooper was preparing to quit Australian rugby.
''No one deserves to get any free rides. It doesn't matter what sport you're in, the reality is the team stands for something,'' White said on Tuesday.
''You have to make decisions that are in the best interest of the team, one has to admire whoever makes those decisions and I'm not even talking about Quade, I'm talking about any rugby team.
''The people who stand firm on those decisions, [that] you either do it properly or you're out, are the ones that make it.
''It works both ways. You've got to try your best to create the environment where they can produce, and at the same time you expect the players to be mindful they've got to stick to the things they and the team believes in.''
White also confirmed that Brumbies inside-centre Pat McCabe will consult a neurosurgeon in Sydney on Thursday to assess a neck fracture sustained on the Wallabies' European tour.
McCabe returned to Australia on Tuesday, and the scans will give the Brumbies a clearer picture of whether he will be fit for the start of the Super Rugby season.
''It would be wrong for me to speculate on how serious it is, or how long he's going to be out for,'' White said.
''At this point in time he's on leave, like Wallabies always are after a tour, and he'll join us in the new year.
''[Brumbies No.8] Fotu [Auelua] and [fullback] Robbie Coleman had one last year, and they played throughout the season.
''It is something players have played through, but you never know the extent of the injury until we get the scans and reports back from the neurosurgeons.''

A 'PRE-APPRENTICESHIP' hub was among the ideas discussed when Dr Cable visited one of Burnley's top training schemes.
The business secretary started his visit to the town with a visit to Burnley Telematics, in Daneshouse Road, where he fielded questions from four of the group's 15 apprentices.
Burnley Telematics founder and managing director, Ejaz Hussain, said: "At the moment, some employers are saying they are not able to take some of the kids on board from hard-to-reach areas because they don't have the skill or the work ethic.
"The hub would be somewhere in the town centre where we can train them from the bottom up."
Daneshouse with Stoneyholme Councillor Shah Hussain added: "I think one of the problems we have in the ethnic minority communities is that they look at the traditional routes of academia, but like Ejaz said, we need to look at the other type of work that's available here in Burnley – the engineering and manufacturing."

When the iPad 3 went on-sale at midnight last friday night it provoked the usual frenzy — miles of lines, ecstatic buyers — as well as one very interesting blog that somehow seems to have fallen through the cracks over the weekend. It takes a good, analytic look at the general perception that Apple is a luxury brand and points out that it does tick all the luxury boxes save one: exclusivity. But here's what I wonder: is exclusivity really a luxury value these days?

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 7/1/2014 (1323 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
This Christmas, my husband gave me a copy of The Smitten Kitchen Cookbook. Author Deb Perelman is a New York-based food writer (she also blogs at smittenkitchen.com) who offers meticulously tested recipes, warm and funny writing, and a generous, unpretentious attitude to food and cooking.
I love all of that, but what really impresses me is that Perelman's glorious recipes are produced in a kitchen the size of a Ford Fiesta.
It's one of those culinary paradoxes that large urban centres offer up all kinds of exciting possibilities for food lovers — myriad ingredients, great shops, inspiring restaurants — while at the same time packing many of their citizens into incredibly small kitchens. In cities like New York and Paris, even richy-rich people can end up with teeny-tiny apartment kitchens.
There are now cookbooks that meet this situation head-on, like Perelman's The Smitten Kitchen and Rachel Khoo's Little Paris Kitchen. Blogs like Big Girls Small Kitchen and The Kitchn and online hubs like Sorted offer lots of recipes geared toward urbanites, university students, people in small apartments — anyone, really, who deals with a weird or funny little kitchen and still wants to eat well.
There are other cooking issues, of course. Sometimes it's not lack of space but lack of time. Or a tight budget. Sometimes it's just waning inspiration: It's easy to get stuck in that if-it's-Wednesday-it-must-be-chicken rut.
A cook like Perelman, who doesn't fret about limitations but just dives right in, is a great role model. With her infectious enthusiasm for food, she encourages us to stop with the excuses, whatever they might be, and just cook.
I made a few cooking resolutions this New Year. I want to try out more recipes instead of falling back on the same-old, same-old standards. And I want to enjoy my kitchen, just the way it is.
My kitchen is roomy by New York City standards but small by 2014 suburban Winnipeg standards. Designed in 1949 and essentially unchanged since then, it's a little galley setup that could be described as economical. Still, it's better to be too cramped a few days of the year -- on those big occasions when you're cooking for a crowd -- than too large the rest of the year.
I've pulled off Thanksgiving dinners for 18 that have involved juggling, improvising and (admittedly) a few moments of hair-pulling frustration. But, basically, anything that you can do in a big kitchen, you can do in a small kitchen. You just have to plan.
One of my New Year's projects was a big cleanup that allowed me to get reacquainted with the back of my pantry cupboard, while freeing me to stock up on some new ingredients. I ruthlessly purged non-essential items of kitchen equipment and organized the remaining basics. I donated obscure kitchen gadgets and vowed to renew my commitment to the ones I kept. (Bring on the slow cooker.) And I started to get tough with my cookbook collection, zeroing in on the recipes I really use, as well as adding some new ones to my weeknight rotation.
I celebrated this whole New Year-New Me project with a salad adapted from The Smitten Kitchen. The sesame-miso dressing is a keeper, and poured over some crisp greens, it cheered up a frigid January day.
I also made a slow-cooker pork stew from teenytinykitchen.com, a food blog written by a pair of Vermont-based cooks who passionately believe that "a small kitchen shouldn't be a hindrance to good food." (Although anyone with a micro-kitchen probably has to store the slow-cooker in some other part of the apartment, this appliance does free up a small oven for other things.)
There are loads of hints for small-kitchen cooking, and lots of ingenious IKEA storage whatsits to make the most of the space. But probably the best tip for using any non-dream kitchen is just to start cooking. What makes a kitchen beautiful isn't necessarily an expansive granite-topped island or a marble backsplash or endless cappuccino-finished cabinets. What really makes a kitchen beautiful is use.
Maybe your New Year's resolution is an ambitious kitchen renovation. But if that plan is only a distant dream, maybe you can just resolve to love the kitchen you have now. It might be bigger and better than you think.
Snap Pea Salad with Miso Dressing
225 g (about 1/2 lb) snap peas, untrimmed
225 g (about 1/2 lb or 3 cups) Napa cabbage (also called Chinese cabbage or sui choy), cut into thin ribbons
3 green onions, sliced thinly
Half an English cucumber, halved lengthwise and sliced thinly
15 ml (3 tbsp) toasted sesame seeds (divided)
15 ml (1 tbsp) minced fresh ginger
1 clove garlic, minced
30 ml (2 tbsp) mild yellow or white miso, plus up to 15 ml (1 tbsp) more to taste
30 ml (2 tbsp) tahini
15 ml (1 tbsp) honey
60 ml (1/4 cup) rice vinegar
30 ml (2 tbsp) sesame oil
30 ml (2 tbsp) canola oil
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, and prepare a small ice-water bath. Boil the snap peas for about 2 minutes, then scoop them out with a slotted spoon and immediately drop into ice-water bath. Let cool, drain and pat dry. Trim ends and cut on the diagonal into thin slices. In large bowl, toss the snap peas, cabbage, green onions and cucumber. Sprinkle with 15 ml (1 tbsp) toasted sesame seeds. Make the dressing by whirling all ingredients, starting with the smaller amount of miso, in a blender until smooth. Taste and adjust ingredients -- use the extra 15 ml (1 tbsp) miso if desired. Toss salad with half the dressing and taste. Use more dressing if you like, or save the rest for your next salad. Sprinkle with remaining sesame seeds. Dig in.
Adapted from The Smitten Kitchen Cookbook by Deb Perelman.
Tester's notes: Oh, gosh, so good. And such a terrific alternative to my desperately uninspired weekday staple of bagged greens and standard vinaigrette. Perelman points out that you can easily change up the ingredients. She uses julienned radishes, and you could also try blanched green beans or cooked, shelled edamame.
I made the dressing twice in one weekend, and the first time I didn't have miso and simply couldn't face going out in the -34 chill to get some. Miso definitely adds salty and subtle flavour, but that first miso-less batch was also pretty good. I just upped the amount of tahini by 15 ml (1 tbsp), added a little salt, and adjusted the oil and vinegar a bit.
You can toast sesame seeds in a 150 C (300 F) oven for about 5 minutes.
Wine-Stewed Pork Tenderloin in a Crock Pot
2 medium pork tenderloins
Olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
3 carrots, peeled
3 large parsnips, peeled
3 medium red thin-skinned potatoes, scrubbed but not peeled
2 red onions
60 ml (1/4 cup) Dijon mustard
Couple of sprigs fresh thyme
500 ml (2 cups) dry white wine
250 ml (1 cup) sodium-reduced chicken broth
In large pan over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil and sear the pork tenderloins on all sides, adding salt and pepper to each side. Meanwhile, cut the carrots, parsnips and potatoes into 2.5-cm (1-inch) pieces and place in bottom of a slow-cooker. Place seared pork tenderloins on top of vegetables and spread mustard on top of pork. Coarsely chop the onions and sauté in the same pan used to cook the pork until softened and beginning to brown. Deglaze the pan with wine and chicken stock, scraping up any brown bits, then pour mixture over pork and vegetables. Add thyme, cover and cook on high for 4-5 hours or until pork is starting to fall apart and vegetables are soft.
Adapted from teenytinykitchen.com.
Tester's notes: Just add some good bread and you have a nice, simple supper. Of course, this recipe will spark the Great Slow Cooker Debate -- whether or not to brown first. It's not an absolutely necessary step -- and part of the appeal of the slow cooker is the idea that you can just dump everything in and walk away -- but the browning stage does add colour and complexity. If you're feeling very ambitious, you can add one more step: After the meat and vegetables are done, you can transfer the liquid to a pot on the stovetop and boil it down for a thicker, more concentrated sauce.

Affinity Network Hosts Successful LGBT Events
"At Goldman Sachs, we regard diversity as a business imperative – it is at the very core of our ability to serve our clients well and to maximize return for our shareholders." – Lloyd Blankfein, Chairman and CEO
One of the core ways the firm supports diversity and inclusion is through affinity networks, which offer training and educational programs, create networking forums, host leadership conferences, and sponsor client events. Affinity networks are open to all people of the firm.
Of the firm's many affinity networks, the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Network of Europe, Middle East and Africa (LGBT Network EMEA) hosted a series of Pride Month events earlier this year, featuring discussions, networking and career development opportunities.
This summer, the LGBT Network EMEA held "LGBT City Quiz Night" in London, which attracted more than 200 people and provided professionals with an opportunity to network with people from over 60 different external organizations. Other events this year included "So, You Think Your Child Is Gay?", a candid discussion on the role parents can play with helping children deal with discrimination and bullying, and the group's annual "Success in the City" recruitment event, which helps promote Goldman Sachs as an inclusive and diverse employer of choice.
The network has been recognized by Stonewall, an LGBT equality charity, and was named their Employee Network of the Year for 2013.
As the LGBT Network EMEA gears up for 2014 with the support of senior leaders across the firm, it plans to continue its membership growth and expanding the impact of its events and programs.
The mission of the LGBT Network is to advocate a work environment that respects, welcomes and supports lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender professionals, and enables them to perform to their fullest potential and contribute to the greater goals of the firm.

"After a few days of search; I finally found this site and I'm excited with my invitation! The cards are easy to customize with so many designs, fonts and colors to chose from. This one caught my eye and I just received them in the mail. Right on time I must say! The paper quality is rich, the print for my photograph is beautiful and the envelopes are thick. It's everything we hoped it'd be and more. I would highly recommend getting this. It gave us an opportunity to share a little bit of who we are as a couple on the invitation as well. In my opinion, it makes it more personal and different. Different is good."
"Absolutely love how the cards turned out! We received so many complements from our family and friends. I used one of our engagement shots and added the ceremony details to personalize. The process was simple and shipping was fast. Customer service was excellent too."
"We were very satisfied with how quick and easy we had our personalized beautiful invitations! The process could not be an easier and we got exactly what we expected when we expected!! Great Job Wedding Paper Divas and crew!!"
"Project was easy to personalize. Once submitted the designer helped me with any other changes I wanted until it was perfect. Came out great!"
"These could not have turned out any better! The color was amazing and customer service was quick to fix proof before sending out!"

Who I am…
I like to think of myself as a dreamer. I could easily spend hours at a time staring at the way a tree sways flirtatiously in the wind or wondering what Miles Davis was thinking when he composed "Basin Street Blues". I am an only child so I've had a lot of time to perfect this trait. I am quite charming. At least that's what I believe. But then I do something quirky and it makes me think that maybe I'm not all that charming. Perhaps it's the quirkiness that makes me so. I've been in business for myself ever since I was 8. Creating hand-painted rocks and selling them door to door in my neighborhood. I had employees, too. Then there was the abstract art t-shirt business. Perhaps an entrepreneur's mind at work (I get that from my father); or the inherent need for me to express myself artistically (I get that from my mother). I like to think it's the marriage of the two. Eating incredible food and traveling (alone or with those I love beside me) rejuvenates me; my camera always in tow. And I know love. I've been in love with the same person for nearly 10 years. Being his wife calms me and frees me in the most harmonious of ways. Loving and being loved has molded me as an artist and the sum of all these parts has shaped me into the woman I am in this very moment.
What I do…
I photograph what inspires me. For as long as I've had a camera I've been drawn to people. The way someone expresses love is magnetizing and is uniquely them. I believe a person that feels comfortable in your presence will naturally surrender to their purest form and place those perfect moments quietly in your lap. To witness it is blessing and I am humbled by every opportunity to capture it. My objective is always to go with the ebb and flow of a session or event and photograph what I think is beautiful and meaningful. Staying true to that philosophy means that you always get the best of me. I love what marriage means and I'm instinctively drawn to small events with a space filled with close friends and family; those that truly know the couple and their story. Or the couple that elopes on a foggy Friday afternoon. Just the two of them, no frills. I feel that an engagement session gives us the opportunity to get to know one another before your day and gives you an opportunity to see yourselves on film. Getting to know you and communicating as your day approaches lets us naturally develop a relationship that goes beyond client and photographer.
What I believe...
As passionate as I feel about the quality of my work, I am just as passionate about my responsibility to conserve and give back. Great care is taken to ensure that energy and resources are not wasted in my daily operations; from the actions I take to the companies I work with. For each wedding or session I book, a donation is made on your behalf to a few deserving organizations. However small, I feel that it is my duty to do my part and I humbly oblige.
2.5% of all sales are donated to CARE
2.5% of all sales are donated to Restavek Freedom Foundation
For every wedding booked, a loan is made to an entrepreneur at Kiva.org

an intuitive gui front-end for S3
Amazon should really support the development of S3Fox. Or better yet, bring Rahul/Suchi Soft on board, form a small, agile team, and turn this (already great) extension into an official Amazon release. Also, thank god for Jeff Atwood: http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2007/03/using-amazon-s3-as-an-image-hosting-service.html If not for Rahul and Jeff I think I would have given up on test-driving S3

It works but doens't play well with others
The S3 organiser work under my Firefox in Ubuntu Linux. The look and feel is good. I tried some simple file operations, it worked. However S3Fox could not read directories (and files) created with JetS3t cockpit and s3fs (mount tool in Linux). And if I want to access a directory created with S3Fox is shown a folder as a file, like: test_$folder$ Is S3Fox using own storage mechanisms?

CloudFront Support ROCKS!!! 5 Stars!!!
The new CloudFront support works for me. Right out of the box I had my new CDN based files working on my sites. This is the CDN for the rest of us. Now I can have files from AWS served at the cost of the bandwidth when I am not in need of any back-end support. The only tool I need is FireFox and S3Fox to support my new site. Great product, good work, right on time for me needs. Edward M. Goldberg http://Blog.EdwardMGoldberg.com

Works but a little glitchy
I'm not sure what all these other people are having trouble with. As long as you are capable of actually correctly entering your aws access key and the secret key for the account it should connect just fine. Worked on my first try. I noticed sometimes it lists a bucket as just prepended with the name instead of in a folder so the behavior is a little wacky but this is in beta/alpha it would seem so that shouldn't be surprising.

Downloaded plugin and it doesn't appear to work. The user interface is clunky and confusing.

Just keeps throwing errors about my account settings, which might be wrong, but I can't get to the point to edit and fix them because it crashes my entire FF every time I click anything in S3Fox, it sounds like it would be awesome if it worked.

Faster simplier results with Undesigned S3 Php Object
Was very disapointed with the S3 Fox 0.4.1 update. Because I could no longer remove buckets, I found myself in the frying pan and I sought out another alternative. Undesigned's PHP S3 class was easy to use and totally solved my problem (too many buckets). Best of all no dependencies beyond php 5.2. http://undesigned.org.za/2007/10/22/amazon-s3-php-class - jellytypo

Kills my browser
I installed the organizer and it worked for a while. After the recent upgrade; however, it now throws an exception every time it opens and subsequently hangs my browser. I have to force quit it to get out. I used to think it was useful, now I think its a crock.

Some issues with Linux/Firefox combination
---Tools/S3 Organizer dropdown is functional with Firefox 184.108.40.206 (using Kubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn) However, The handy little S3Fox button in lower corner of webpage crashes Firefox. Transfers do occur although some transfers and some other attempts to startup the S3 organizer result in a error box containing Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80520006 (NS_ERROR_FILE_TARGET_DOES_NOT_EXIST)[nslocalFile.lastModifiedTime]" nsresult: "0x80520006 (NS_ERROR_FILE_TARGET_DOES_NOT_EXIST)" ---On a different computer: Both dropdown and S3Fox popup buttons appear to work in Firefox version 126.96.36.199 (using Fedora Core 6) But actually no connection to the S3 buckets can be made. Nothing shows up in the right-side panel (even when accurate bucket-names and keys are provided).
December 4, 2007 12:02 AM GMT
keys didn't work
I didn't get past step 1. My access key and secret access key didn't work in the plugin. Now I wasn't sure whether the "account name" was a factor in calculations or just a local name for the plug in. I tried my account id, amazon.com user name, and bucket name from s3 as account name in the plugin and none of them worked.

A proof that works
One may argue about the fact that an S3 file handling tool requires a web browser as host application. However, the whole thing works pretty well. There's some usability fine tuning needed in my eyes, this Firefox add-on still appears a bit like a proof-of-concept. But as long as there's no better alternative around, it can be highly recommended to all FF/S3 users!

Liberal frontbencher Christopher Pyne has retracted a comment he made comparing the Labor Party to a film about the last days of the Third Reich, but new Attorney-General, Mark Dreyfus, says the apology does not go far enough.
On Sunday, in the wake of high profile resignations from Prime Minister Julia Gillard's frontbench, Mr Pyne said Labor was looking like Hitler's government in the 2004 movie, Downfall.
''This government is starting to resemble a scene from Downfall and the Prime Minister is presiding over a divided and dysfunctional government,'' he said.
At the time, Mr Dreyfus described the comments as a ''disgrace'' and called on Mr Pyne to apologise.
''These comments are deeply hurtful to Holocaust survivors, they are deeply hurtful to any right thinking Australian,'' he said.
On Monday, Mr Pyne said he had not been comparing Ms Gillard to Hitler, but that the chaos in the federal government was similar to a scene from the film.
''I'm not necessarily apologising to Mark Dreyfus, because his is confected outrage designed to get a headline,'' he told Sky News.
''But if anybody else has taken offence at that, well of course I retract the statement.''
He then called on Mr Dreyfus, who is Jewish, to apologise for written comments he made in 2011 in which he likened Mr Abbott's campaign against the carbon tax to Nazi propaganda.
But Mr Dreyfus said the comments were ''very different things''.
''I was making a comment about communication strategies, in particular drawing attention to well-known, well-established ... communication strategies sometimes called 'Big Lie' propaganda,'' he told Sky News on Monday afternoon.
Mr Dreyfus also dismissed Mr Pyne's retraction, calling it a "callous non-apology" and adding: "Mr Pyne's description this morning of my personal response to his remarks as 'confected outrage' is grotesque.''
Three of Mr Dreyfus's German great-grandparents died in the Holocaust. He rcounted in his maiden speech to parliament in 2008 that his grandparents had sent his father and uncle from Germany to Australia in 1939.
On his first official day as Attorney-General, Mr Dreyfus said that he felt prepared for the new role, pointing out that in his old Cabinet Secretary job he had attended every cabinet meeting and every cabinet committee meeting.
He will be going to synagogue on September 14, which is the Jewish holy day Yom Kippur as well as the federal election.
''I would have preferred if it had been on another date but there is no election date, no Saturday that is not going to cause some inconvenience to some part of the Australian community,'' he said.
He said he would consider what else he could do on the day.
Labor MP Michael Danby, who is also Jewish, has said he will not campaign on September 14.

So you want some quotes eh.........In the bathroom at the Helena Clay Arts Guild with pictures cut out of pottery magazines there are also quotes written on the wall, here are some of my favorites:
"The most important aspect of any pottery is the spirit behind it, each kiln must have something in it of you, pottery cannot be a means of something else, I think it is itself. If you're enthused about what you're doing, it's going to show." David Shaner
"Art does not have the letter should in it." JD St. Clair
"Art like life should be gulp not sip. " Anon
"It doesn't mean a thing, if it an' t got that swing." Duke Ellington

A fundraising golf day in memory of former Bradford Town striker Mark Robinson, who died of a heart attack, has raised £3,000.
The money is being split between the British Heart Foundation and sporting causes.
Mr Robinson, 50, collapsed while walking his dog in Widbrook Woods, Bradford on Avon, last July and his family wanted to celebrate his 51st birthday this year with a fundraiser.
The father-of-three was a member of Cumberwell golf course in the town for six years so his family organised a golf day, dinner and auction at the club on January 10.
The overall winner was Danny Griffiths from Melksham, who won a golf bag and club. Auction items included a day at the races and football shirts donated by individuals and organisations including Bouygues UK Ltd.
With £2,000 going towards the British Heart Foundation, the remaining £1,000 was split evenly between Chippenham Park FC, pole vaulter Andy Sutcliffe, gymnast Larissa Royal and decathlete Adam Carpenter, who travels from Poole to Bath for pole vault coaching.
Mr Robinson's son Mark, 26, plays for Chippenham Park FC, his daughter Lauren, 16, is a former gymnast who is now a pole vaulter and his eldest daughter Leigh, 26, is an equestrian. The family wanted to donate the money to aspiring sports stars.
His wife Elaine said: "We are a sporty family and Mark loved golf; he was sports mad. He would have been very proud of the fact so many people turned up for such a good cause."
The family have now decided to celebrate Mr Robinson's birthday every year with a fundraising golf day.
Alison Rosier, fundraising manager at British Heart Foundation, said: "We are absolutely delighted with this generous donation. It will go towards research for heart disease. We have come on leaps and bounds in the last 50 years, but there is a lot of work to be done. We cannot do it without the help of people like the Robinson family."
Mr Sutcliffe, 22, from Hinton Charterhouse, has been pole vaulting for 10 years. He works as a teaching assistant at St Gregory's College in Bath to fund his sport.
He said: "The donation is a massive help. The indoor season is in France and I was in doubt if I could go because of money but this has helped towards travelling expenses."
Ten-year-old Larissa, from Bristol, has been in gymnastics for eight years and trains 20 hours a week at City of Bristol Gymnastics. She said: "It was an honour to receive the cheque. It will go towards my fees."

Hi,I have 3 tables
Each asset can have monitoring setup and each monitoring type can have protocols setup.
I need to select all the assets that have monitoring setup of type 'calibration' and also that have protocols setup for the monitoring type.
Asset is linked to monitoring by 'asset_id'Monitoring is linked to protocols by 'monitor_id'
I have attached a diagram of my tables that might help.
I think I need to build the query using joins but I am not sure where to even start.
Any help or suggestions would be great.
Yes, joins are what you need. And I'd start from the manual
Thanks for your reply.
This is what I have come up with...but still not working. And not sure how to check if protocols have been setup for the monitoring type.
"SELECT asset_id, asset_date, asset_num, asset_serialNum, asset_name, asset_description, asset_type, asset_department, asset_owner
(asset INNER JOIN monitoring
ON asset.asset_id = monitoring.asset_id)
INNER JOIN protocols
ON monitoring.monitor_id = protocols.monitor_id
WHERE monitor_type='callibration'"
Gret if anyone has any more help or nudges in right direction
sorry, "still not working" is not a valid mysql error message
could you elaborate on what's happening please
p.s. are you perhaps getting 0 results? check the spelling of "callibration"
Try it without the brackets around the first join:
, asset_date
, asset_num
, asset_serialNum
, asset_name
, asset_description
, asset_type
, asset_department
, asset_owner
FROM asset
INNER JOIN monitoring
ON asset.asset_id = monitoring.asset_id
INNER JOIN protocols
ON monitoring.monitor_id = protocols.monitor_id
WHERE monitor_type = 'callibration'
And please be more specific when it "does not work". Is there an error message, if so what is it? Does it give a result, but not the one you want? If so, give us the result and explain why it isn't what you want.
Sorry for my lack of info and thanks for your replies.I was getting no results.I have now added "asset." to each of the fields I wish to select and I am now getting a result. The result is the same asset repeated 8 times. The asset listed is the correct asset. I have checked and the monitoring type has 8 protocols. The result seems to be showing the asset the same amount of times as protocols that are setup.
Removing the brackets does not make a difference to the result.
I also see that spelling of calibration is incorrect but it is the spelling I have in the database at the moment. I need to edit my insert query when setting up monitoring with the correct spelling.
Also when I remove the protocols join I get a correct result. (just shows 2 assets with calibration monitoring setup).
Here is my updated code.
"SELECT asset.asset_id, asset.asset_date, asset.asset_num, asset.asset_serialNum, asset.asset_name, asset.asset_description, asset.asset_type, asset.asset_department, asset.asset_owner
(asset INNER JOIN monitoring
ON asset.asset_id = monitoring.asset_id)
INNER JOIN protocols
ON monitoring.monitor_id = protocols.monitor_id
WHERE monitor_type='callibration'"
If you check for mysql errors in your PHP code, it will be easier to understand why you don't get results:
$query = "... put your query here ...";
$result = mysql_query($query) or die("mysql error " . mysql_error() . " in query $query ");
It may not be the most elegant way to handle mysql errors, but it works just fine when you are developing and debugging
SELECT asset.asset_id
, asset.asset_date
, asset.asset_num
, asset.asset_serialNum
, asset.asset_name
, asset.asset_description
, asset.asset_type
, asset.asset_department
, asset.asset_owner
FROM monitoring
JOIN asset
ON asset.asset_id = monitoring.asset_id)
WHERE monitor_type = 'callibration'
( SELECT 'booyah'
FROM protocols
WNERE monitor_id = monitoring.monitor_id )
you can see the effect this has in the query...asset.assetthis, and asset.assetthat... illustrating once again that it is not a good idea to embed the table name into the column name, because of the "noise" this adds to the query
This is working for me now. Thanks for all the help.
@r937I see your point. The query would be a lot easier to read and to write without the table name included in the column name.
@guido2004Thanks for the tip. Very handy when developing and debugging.
I am slowly building up "best practices" as I get more experience developing. Thanks for the help.

AN iPad, BlackBerry and a quantity of Euros were stolen from a Booker household at the weekend.
Thieves ransacked the Squirrel Lane property between 1.55pm and 3.30pm on Sunday after forcing open a rear window to gain entry.
They pinched the tablet device, mobile phone and cash before fleeing.
Police are appealing for witnesses and would like to speak to three youths that were seen in the area.
Officers said two of the youths are believed to be Asian and the other is thought to be black. They were all wearing dark coats with the hoods up.
Call the non-emergency 101 enquiry line or, if you do not want to speak to police, call the Crimestoppers charity anonymously on 0800 555 111 or visit crimestoppers-uk.org.

HOUSTON - Houston Police said a perspective buyer came to look at a run-down apartment complex at 6303 Cullen, in southeast Houston and discovered a human skull in the courtyard Monday.
Investigators said they found most of what is believed to be an adult woman's skeletal remains spread around the property. Police believe animals scattered the remains.
"I was just shocked." said neighbor, Wilfred Carlot. He told Local 2, "We smelled it earlier. About a month ago, something like that. Then all of a sudden, the scent went away."
Carlot showed Local 2 more bones he had just discovered on London Street. That is on the opposite side of the block from the apartments.
Local 2 called investigators who came out and collected the two bone fragments for the medical examiner. At first inspection, police and the medical examiner believed they could be human remains.
Police said it could be a couple of days before more information is available.
The Harris County Institute of Forensic Sciences will determine the identity and cause of death of the woman.
What happens next depends on the results of the autopsy. If you have information about this case, please call the HPD Homicide Division at 713-308-3600.

The Struggle Against 'the Religion of Irreligion'
This book has been written to make the reader realize the danger of religions of irreligion and the responsibility he bears. Enjoining good and forbidding evil is an important aspect of worship commanded by Allah of believers, who are protectors of one another, and the book is a reminder of this noble responsibility. Anyone who reads or hears the reminder has one of two choices: sitting back and saying, "Someone else will do it anyway," or shouldering the responsibility Allah has bestowed upon him and starting to work immediately.
In their struggle against disbelief the prophets and true believers set a good example. All of the prophets whose stories are related in the Qur'an and the true believers who followed them fought against disbelief and strove throughout history to eliminate irreligious ideologies and convey to people the oneness of Allah. They used many different methods to spread this message to people, and nothing stopped them. Their ambition, commitment, patience and courage should be an example to all believers.
Prophet Muhammad (saas) stated that there will be a reward for inviting people to righteousness:
In recent history there have been numerous scholars of Islam whose lives were exemplary in this sense. For instance, Bediüzzaman Said Nursi was a noble person who all through his life struggled against the religions of irreligion under very trying circumstances. He displayed an unyielding patience and made many sacrifices in an effort to protect his country and people from this threat. The following statements of Bediüzzaman inspire great zeal to those of conscience and sound mind:
A conscientious person is duty bound to follow the voice of his conscience and immediately seek ways to serve Allah's religion. Allah will distinguish His servants who have true faith from those who merely say "I have faith" yet avoid the struggle that faith demands. Allah states in the Qur'an:
Do people think that they will be left to say, 'We believe,' and they will not be tried? 125
In another verse Allah states that believers cannot attain true faith and Paradise unless they struggle against irreligion:
Or do you think that you will enter Paradise while Allah has not made evident those among you who struggle and made evident those who are steadfast?126
123. Narrated by Muslim.
124. The Risale-i-Nur Collection, Rays, The Fourteenth Ray, Letter to the Prime Minister's Office, The Ministry of Justice and Ministry of Home Affairs.

126. Surah ali 'Imran, 3:142.

Belly-Breathing (Diaphragmatic Breathing)Skip to the navigation
Topic Overview
Belly-breathing fills your lungs fully, slows your breathing rate, and helps you relax.
- Place one hand on your belly just below the ribs and the other hand on your chest. You can do this while standing, but it may be more comfortable while you are lying on the floor with your knees bent.
- Take a deep breath through your nose. As you inhale, let your belly push your hand out. Keep your chest still.
- As you exhale through pursed lips as though you were whistling, feel your hand go down. Use the hand on your belly to help you push all the air out. Take your time exhaling.
- Repeat these steps 3 to 10 times. Take your time with each breath.

Topic: great news (update on John)
Hi ,
John has had 3 chemo ( Gemzar & Cisplatain) treatments and we're seeing improvement!!!
He was having extreme pain anytime he had to take a deep breath or yawn and that is now almost totally gone.
He's having another treatment on 11/20 then they are doing another CT scan on 11/28.
The Dr. said if everything looks good John can have 3 weeks off and we can go see our brand new grandson, Fabian Sandoval Jr. YAHOO
I'm so angry with his first Dr. who told us not to do Chemo because it would not work and only prolong his agony.
John has had very minimal nausea but he does have equilibrium problems.
After reading how many people on this forum have been fighting this cancer FOR YEARS with Chemo I feel like sueing him.!
Well until our next post, Gods blessings and healing on us all,

By Autumn Celeste Edwards, Assistant Vice President & Store Manager, TD Bank
Since being founded in 1987, the Network for Teaching (NFTE) has grown from a drop-out prevention program in one New York City high school to a comprehensive global youth development program that uses entrepreneurship education as a key lever. Today, NFTE is widely viewed as a global leader in youth entrepreneurship, with programs in 21 states and 13 foreign countries. Since 1987, NFTE has served over 500,000 young people worldwide and since launching in Washington, D.C. in 1994, has reached nearly 25,000 young people locally.
I am a TD Bank Store Manager in Washington D.C. and have been an active volunteer with NFTE since learning of the organization during a loan closing with a client. I was explaining TD's volunteer activities and active commitment to local communities and the client began sharing information on NFTE.
I immediately fell in love with the organization's mission to promote an entrepreneurial spirit and sense of accomplishment for underprivileged youth. Inspired by the talent NFTE is developing and moved by the growth and opportunity being created for the children and young adults in the program, I knew I had to become an active participant in the program.
Through volunteering, I have watched students become instilled with the belief that they can succeed in business. Through the mentorship provided by the program, I have been touched by the enthusiasm of the board members, teachers, and mentors and consider myself emotionally invested in the program thanks to the passion of the participants and the value it brings to the students.
After witnessing the program's Elevator Pitch Competition, in which students present a three minute business pitch to a panel of judges, I was impressed at the level of business acumen the students possessed. One speaker in particular, a NFTE alum, shared his own experiences as a presenter in last year's Elevator Pitch competition and described the challenges he was able to overcome as a student in NFTE. I was touched by his story and impressed by his drive. The speaker, Jordon Brooks, was a standout during his time in NFTE. Brooks won the D.C. area Business Plan Competition in 2012 and was awarded "Entrepreneur of the Year" in 2013 through NFTE.
Autumn and NFTE alum Jordon Brooks
In March 2013, I reached out to NFTE to let the organization know that a teller position was available. Brooks applied. Humbled and inspired by his ambition at our first meeting during the Elevator Pitch Competition, I knew Brooks would be a standout candidate but had no idea how perfect he would be for the role.
Today, as teller, Brooks has continued to impress his supervisors with his work ethic and know-how. As a true success story of NFTE, he is a champion for TD Bank's continued involvement with the program.
I continue to volunteer in other competitions and even served as a judge in the 2013 business pitch semi-finals along with another TD Bank colleague. Because of my work in the organization and the relationships I've built, the TD Charitable Foundation has learned of NFTE and provided grants to the organization in 2012 and 2013.
With big plans for NFTE, including deepening the NFTE relationship through my own networking with local leaders, I'm only at the beginning of my work and efforts on behalf of this cause. I'll continue to volunteer and actively hire NFTE program alums, ensuring that Brooks will be one of many success stories to be shared by TD Bank and NFTE.

Qualcomm Announces S4 Play MSM8x26 and WTR2605 - Quad Core ARM Cortex A7by Brian Klug on 12/5/2012 7:27 PM EST

Back to Article
CaptainDoug - Wednesday, December 05, 2012 - linkThis should make for amazing battery life. As a quad core it should also have a decent amount of power and the Adreno 305 is no slouch either. All of these parts aren't exactly high end as far as performance but they should be enough to run most anything well all while sipping the battery. sign me up. Reply
Silenux - Wednesday, December 05, 2012 - linkThe only problem I see is that OEM will pack this with small batteries and it will still give a short battery life.
Hopefully they put this on 2100 battery minimum. Reply
amdwilliam1985 - Thursday, December 06, 2012 - linkYeah, I can totally see cheap OEM going with small batteries.
Starting 2013, we should see 2000mah+ and up, hoping to see more 3000mah+ devices.
If Motorola can do it with their Maxx, then I'm sure Samsung and HTC can do it too :) Reply
lmcd - Saturday, December 15, 2012 - linkI'm pretty sure the battery in the SIII is > 2000mah, which is why I make a whole day on it with heavy usage patterns. Reply
Roland00Address - Wednesday, December 05, 2012 - linkHow small is this chip for a7 are a big step down from Krait?
Yes there are limitations about using DMips/Mhz per core but if I remember
a7 are about 1.9 DMIPS / MHz per core
krait are about 3.3 DMIPS / MHz per core (aka about 73% higher)
a15 are about 3.5 DMIPS / MHz per core (aka about 84% higher) Reply
tuxRoller - Thursday, December 06, 2012 - linkThose krait numbers are bogus.
Tom's ran linpack and found krait to be around 2.7 dmips/mhz
Also the s4 pro has a poorer memory interface than the dual core s4. Reply
tuxRoller - Thursday, December 06, 2012 - linkMake that 2.5 dmips/mhz on dhrystone. Reply
ET - Thursday, December 06, 2012 - linkA7 is a replacement for A8 that's smaller, more power efficient and support multi-core and some newer technologies. It's not meant to compete with the top of the line ARM CPU's, but I think it's pretty exciting as a low end core. Reply
amdwilliam1985 - Thursday, December 06, 2012 - linkYep, this will help bringing up the bottom line of the low and mid spec phones. Reply
Wolfpup - Saturday, December 15, 2012 - linkOoooh okay it's a revised A8? I was thinking it was a revised A9 for some reason. Wasn't one of the ideas for it to be paired with multiple A15s to run stuff when it doesn't need that much performance? Sort of what Nvidia did with a lower speed A9 in Tegra 3?
Hmm....if it's basically an A8, I guess I don't understand the point of doing a quad, when you can do 2-4 A9s...like wouldn't 2 or 3 A9s give about the same performance?
And I REALLY don't understand the point of a quad A5. The A5 is basically an ARM 11, almost a 486, just with instruction support for ARM v7 while ARM 11 is v6?
Seems like it makes more sense to just do 1-2 A9s instead of 4 A5s?
I don't really get it...maybe A9 is proportionally larger than the performance it gives you or something, but anyway it's kind of fun that these weird parts exist!
Those Qualcom designs really throw me off, because I never know if they're talking about their core that's basically an A8, or the one that's basically an A9. Reply
lmcd - Saturday, December 15, 2012 - linkA9 wasn't actually that appealing of a core. There was some part of the A9 that was gimped, something that really didn't make sense to gimp. Unfortunately my tiny little brain can't remember what. I'm pretty sure it wasn't gimped in A8. Besides, A7 is like 1/4 the die space of an A9, and only really loses out due to the OoO architecture loss, which doesn't seem as huge when you have four cores to deal with those bottlenecks.
I remember it (right now) as Krait and non-Krait. Non Krait is basically an A8. Krait is halfway between A9 and A15 and doesn't seem to have the exact weakness the A9 does. Reply
GrizzledYoungMan - Wednesday, December 05, 2012 - linkBecause, honestly, I can't keep these f'ing things straight. You know, something that gives a good overview of the history of each part, it's intended usage, power characteristics, basic architectural features (in order, out of order, etc etc etc).
Not trying to give you more work, Brian, although something tells me you'd relish the challenge. Reply

Click the Compare Processors tab.
(That of course doesn't include non-ARM cores.) Reply
GrizzledYoungMan - Thursday, December 06, 2012 - linkAll helpful, thanks, but not exactly what I'm referring to. I'm thinking of something that is more narrative, and offers a bit of analysis (and depth) as to the practical implications of these architectural changes and evolutions. Reply
agag - Friday, December 07, 2012 - linkI don't think that information is out there in a coherent form. I worked at Qualcomm for a year and it took me at least six months to have any idea what was going on. Reply
1008anan - Monday, December 10, 2012 - linkWhen does MSM8x26 hit cell phones?
I don't see the point of four A7 Cortex cores that are not combined with at least one high single threaded performance core.
Almost all cell phone applications depend on single threaded performance (since our libraries and tool-sets that use parallel multi-threaded power efficient code are so incomplete.) Wouldn't a cell phone powered by an Apple Swift A6 core (or Krait/A15 equivalent) with one A7 or cortex M4 companion core (that kicks in when the high performance core is turned off) be higher performance with better battery life? For that matter a single Intel Atom Z Medfield would probably have better performance and probably better battery life (because of how fast it switches between active states)
Brian, could you explain QCOM's rational? Reply
lmcd - Saturday, December 15, 2012 - linkI really want to see an A15 paired with two A7s, full-on Adreno 320 graphics, and a small graphics coprocessor for compositing like TI had on their 4470. The A7s and coprocessor would be really efficient and make for a great battery life, while the A15 and 320 would make for great performance in games. Reply

Topic: Im new here afrom NY and a caretaker for a cholangiocarcenoma patient.
My loving 61 yr. old husband was diagnosed with bile duct cancer May 2011. He had a failed surgery to resect his liver and remove tumor @ Memorial Sloan Kettering, (Dr. Fong) becasue the cancer spread to lymph nodes in abdoman and it is his protocal not to operate. He has had chemo (oxyplatin, gemzar) then radiation and now he is trying for another round of chemo at Columbia NY Presb. Hosp.
He is so weak now and lost so much weight and he has developed ascites (has had two paracentises so far and they said some people go weekly). Its such a terrible disease. Just dont know what else to say. My son told me I should join this and that it might help me cope.

"Thrilled with the final product. I included a photo on the back and the colors are stunning. I had questions about adding the photo and sales support was immediate and through. I love the details on the front, the quality is excellent, and arrived on time. Color has more green in it than I thought but still thrilled with the invite."
"perfect choice for complimenting the style of any wedding-as mother of groom planning rehearsal dinner this provided simple elegance that is very classic. We used both front and back of the invite-front for basic invite information and back for extra details. Paper and printing were top quality as we expected from this company. Front photo of the couple looked amazing! Shipping was right on time as promised. You can't go wrong with this design and style."
"Great work, just what we wanted. Thanks for offering this beautiful invitation. We were proud to send to friends and family."
"After searching through what seemed thousands of styles and variations of rehearsal dinner invites, I came across Wedding Paper Divas and the style Darling Rustic. It was exactly what I was looking for. Customer service and order printing/delivery were very prompt and the product is exactly as described. Would definitely do business with WPD again and have already recommended the company to friends."
"My fiance and I ordered this card for our rehearsal dinner (in pink) and it was perfect! I asked for some custom wording on the card and the design team perfectly executed what I asked for. The customer service from Wedding Paper Divas is awesome, and we have been more than satisfied with all the products we've ordered for our wedding!"

Thanks to Steve's book and my Santa Fe, I have prepared a number of great meals for friends, and have some great news to relate. Our SCA shire is having it's big event in November, and I have been chosen to be the feastocrat for the event. I will be in charge of the food preparation, and am going to fix a very large brisket, along with turnips and cheese, and leeks fried in butter, among other 'period' dishes.
Thank you, Steve, for turning a mediocre BBQer into a Grillmeister.
