I understand that when people are in the market and looking for employment, a very reasonable option is to put together a great resume and hand it out nearly as much as they can. I understand that after a while they likely get frustrated that they may not be receiving calls or invitations to interview and decide maybe they should start spammning it out even more. But something that really blows me away is what some people's expectations are, and why they want a job to being with.
For some, a job in the field they've studied would be a dream come true. While for others, any job would be a great situation however they never really desire something in particular. Well, since last week I've been looking to hire an assistant. Ads are out there, and people are welcome to apply. Thing is, I'm SHOCKED at some of the emails and resumes I'm receiving. And for the most part, insulted or annoyed.
In my opinion, and strictly my opinion, if you are applying for a job, that should be because it's the job you really want, not because you need SOME job and this one will do. If you've got your resume then it should be specific, and not general. So when someone sends me an email with a resume attached and the email is this bland generic "to whom it may concern" or "dear sir or madam" BS I get really annoyed. In my ad I included a link to this website. In hopes to have those people interested in reading the rest of the ad get a good idea of who and what 2D is, I figured this link should be really easy to find etc, so I put it on the first line of the ad. Now my website has received loads of hits since the ad's been up. This tells me that people applying are looking at 2dhouse.com… right? Well you'd think so…
Here's what I'm trying to get at. If you'd like this job, and you want to be interviewed, then take a minute and do some homework. My name is right there, and the company name too (I also don't like "your company"). There's plenty of info and videos and stuff to sink your teeth into and impress me by letting me know you've actually done some research and that you WANT to work at 2D. Or at least you'd like to. Rather than you WANT some sort of job, or would at least like one….
Social etiquette tells me that I'm not allowed to email some of these people back telling them their emails to me are stupid and thusly so are they. I wish I could do that, even though it would no doubt waste a lot of my time. But what I can do is send out this message. If you're applying for this position, feel free to in a professional, respectful and true manner. Mention to me that you've read this blog post, and don't be overly shy or forward and you're about 90% likely to get an interview. That's it. Just say
"Hey, I'd love to learn more about this position and after reading your post I'd like to submit this resume. Look forward to getting more info and also having an opportunity to tell you more about myself."
Or something to that affect. That line will get you an interview. I'm really tired of these phonies who think they want a real job and send a generic application to me. Something that I can tell they've sent to hundreds of other would be employers who they'll probably never hear back from.
That being said, I have had a lot of great resumes and emails, too. Thank you to those of you who have done so, so far, you'll find out who you are when I give you a call tomorrow to ask you to come in for an interview.

404errors when running apt-get update already tried sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/* -vf
Hello! So I'm new to Linux, but I have 3 Linux firewalls/gateways that I want to update, I'm sure they haven't been touched or messed with in the last 5 or 6 years.
So like I said, I am new to Linux and am trying to update these boxes, one at a time. I found out that I need to run apt-get update but I'm getting errors. I've searched for hours in google and found one thing that seemed to fixed people's problems, but it didn't fix it for me.

Any help? Remember, I'm new and had no idea that apt-get was used to install/update "stuff" so I may be missing something obvious.
Thanks in advance!
According to http://wiki.debian.org/DebianLenny Lenny's security updates ended on Feb 06 2012.
404 is HTTP not found error, which means that the files are not on the remote server. You have to use the archived repositories to update your lenny system.
Perhaps try something like
deb http://archive.debian.org/debian lenny main contrib non-free
Refractor! Thank you so much! That did it!
I had found several solutions like this, but they showed how to use the archive to get etch updates instead of lenny. Wow, like I said, I don't know much but I'm learning.
Thanks a lot!

Chinese and Japanese medicine have relied on mulberry leaves for centuries for the control of blood sugar levels, and to block carbohydrates.
It's only natural therefore, that weight loss companies would develop a pill that incorporates mulberry leaves to help control weight through use of normalizing blood sugar levels.
Mulberry Zuccarin is a natural product that claims to:
• Normalize blood glucose levels
• Block carbohydrates so you burn them and reduce fat storage
• Reduce food cravings
Mulberry Zuccarin doesn't claim to be a weight loss supplement per se, but instead touts its ability to "control blood sugar."
Why is this so important?
Well, if you crave simple sugars, overeat at mealtimes, snack when stressed, love carbohydrates and have a hard time sticking to a diet; the likely cause for your weight gain is too much insulin. It's important to control insulin because overproduction can lead to sugar cravings; which may result in overeating and increasing fat storage. With Mulberry Zuccarin you can finally stabilize your insulin; and will find less temptation when it comes to sugary and high-carb foods.
Finally you may be able to stick to a healthy diet; and in addition, your mood and energy levels will improve, concentration will become heightened–and you'll let go of unwanted body fat!
Mulberry Zuccarin Ingredients
Mulberry Zuccarin contains only one ingredient:
• White Mulberry (leaf extract) 400mg is used for its potent anti-hyperglycemic properties. it can help with the absorption of sugar, and lower cholesterol.
When using Mulberry Zuccarin you should receive steady sugar levels in your blood so that your insulin does not spike–or so the manufacturers of Mulberry Zuccarin claim.
Mulberry Zuccarin also claims you will lose weight because you will not be tempted to eat sweets or unhealthy food. Those are great claims, but at this point it seems, scientific research studies to back these claims are completely lacking.
Mulberry Zuccarin Side Effects
Mulberry may be a natural alternative to acarbose and miglitol. These are substances which prevent carbohydrate digestion and give moderate results in normalizing blood sugar. They can cause uncomfortable gas, bloating and loose stools.
Although Mulberry was found to lead to less digestive-related side effects than these drugs, more comprehensive study needs to be administered before Mulberry is properly understood and marketed widely. For one thing, the effects of taking Mulberry before every meal have not been researched and documented.
Mulberry Zuccarin does deliver the disclaimer to not use "if you are pregnant or nursing", and should "never be administered for the treatment of diabetes before first consulting your physician."
Does Mulberry Zuccarin Work Well Enough to Buy?
Mulberry Zuccarin may peak the interest of dieters wishing to use a more "natural approach" to controlling blood sugar and food cravings. But while mulberry offers some health benefits, to what extent is debatable. And the side effects may far outweigh the benefits. It also seems Mulberry Zuccarin is a little premature in its claims to "treat diabetes" and "induce weight loss," as there is no scientific evidence to support these theories.
Bottom line, we suggest you hold off until Mulberry Zuccarin's effectiveness can be verified and there are more studies done.

Panel applets for the Gnome 2.0 Desktop Environment.
WWW: http://www.gnome.org/
No installation instructions: this port has been deleted.
The package name of this deleted port was: gnomeapplets2
PKGNAME: gnomeapplets2
distinfo: There is no distinfo for this port.
NOTE: FreshPorts displays only information on required and default dependencies. Optional dependencies are not covered.
No options to configure
Number of commits found: 88
- Rename port x11/gnomeapplets2 -> x11/gnome-applets
- Rename ports
sysutils/gnomesystemmonitor -> sysutils/gnome-system-monitor
sysutils/gnomesystemtools -> sysutils/gnome-system-tools
devel/libgtop2 -> devel/libgtop
Rename this ports to use the real vendor package name. The advantage of this
is to allow our users' keyword search works and easier for users to file the
Bugzilla report when they use our name of ports. Debian, Gentoo, NetBSD and
other OSs have the correct package name, but not in our ports tree.
My team, FreeBSD GNOME Team, have agreed with it.
As for other ports, chase the rename.
- Add WITH_MINI_COMMANDER to OPTIONS, off by default
This is the good old mini_commander_applet, good for
people who don't want/need all the bells and whistles

Correct a typo in detecting FreeBSD sys source.
Presenting GNOME 2.14.1 for FreeBSD! Checkout
http://www.gnome.org/start/2.14/ for the official release notes, and a list
of all the gooides in this new release. In particular, GNOME 2.14 focused
on performance, and they did not miss the mark. There's some new eye candy,
but most of the big things are waiting until GNOME 2.16. On the FreeBSD
side, we tried to clean up all the crashers we could. In particular, we
really improved GNOME's 64-bit support.
The good news is that this release does not bring any big shared library
version bumps, so you can almost do a simple portupgrade to get to 2.14.
There are a few minor gotchas that will be documented in UPDATING shortly.
The FreeBSD GNOME Team would like th thank the following users for their
patches, feedback, and sometimes incessant complaing about crashes (you
know who you are).
Conversion to a single libtool environment.
Approved by: portmgr (kris)
- Update to 2.12.3
Update to 2.12.2.
- Add SHA256 checksums
Presenting GNOME 2.12 for FreeBSD. The release is chock full of bug fixes
and new features. Don't believe me? Then see for yourself at
DO NOT USE portupgrade by itself to upgrade to GNOME 2.12. Instead, use
the gnome_upgrade.sh script from
http://www.marcuscom.com/downloads/gnome_upgrade212.sh. This script will
circumvent some potential pitfalls users can see if they use portupgrade
by itself.
In keeping with tradition, GNOME 2.12 for FreeBSD comes with a special
splash screen. The winner of this release's contest is
Dominique Goncalves <firstname.lastname@example.com>. His splash screen
was inspired by http://art.gnome.org/contests/2.12-splash/83.
Check to make sure we were able to open /var/run/devd.pipe successfully
once before continually trying to reopen it. Because of this, some users
not using the devd patch to process dynamic ACPI updates were bitten by
the file descriptor leak. Thus, I am bumping PORTREVISION for this commit.
Fix some bugs in the recent devd support code. I had a memory leak as well
as a potential file descriptor leak on /dev/acpi.
Add support for getting real-time acpi battery events from devd. This
won't work yet for non-root users unless they are using my devd patch
at http://www.marcuscom.com/downloads/devd.diff to give open permissions
to the devd.pipe socket.
Without this real-time update support, it can take up to 30 seconds for the
battstat applet to update on an ACPI event. Because this support is still
experimental, I am not bumping PORTREVISION.
Update the battstat status a bit quicker.
Correct the location to the power-management.c source file.
Submitted by: sajd on #freebsd-gnome
Don't read ACPI info twice. This can cause battstat to take up more CPU
than it needs to.
Submitted by: Ryan Lortie <firstname.lastname@example.com>
- Update to 2.10.1
Add battstat (ACPI only) support for amd64.
Submitted by: Jung-uk Kim <email@example.com>
Presenting GNOME 2.10 for FreeBSD!
The release notes can be found at
http://www.gnome.org/start/2.10/notes/rnwhatsnew.html, and will give you a
good idea of what has gone into this release overall. However, a lot of
FreeBSD specific additions and fixes have been made. For example, this
release offers fixed ACPI support as well as new CPU freqeuncy monitoring
support. See the FreeBSD GNOME 2.10 upgrade page at
http://www.FreeBSD.org/gnome/docs/faq210.html for the entire list as well
as a list of known issues and upgrade instructions.
GNOME 2.10, as well as all of our releases, would not be possible without
the great team that goes into porting and testign each and every component.
Thanks definitely goes out to ahze, adamw, bland, kwm, mezz, and pav for all
their work. We would also like to thank our adventurous users that chose to
- split multimedia/gstreamer-plugins in to individual ports per
gstreamer plugin (52 new ports).
- Chase changes to ports that used USE_GNOME=gstreamerplugisn
to use new USE_GSTREAMER= macro, Bump PORTREVISION's
Examples of new USE_GSTREAMER macro:
USE_GSTREAMER= dvd lame flac
.include <bsd.port.mk>
If you want to use USE_GSTREAMER after <bsd.port.pre.mk>
you must follow one of the examples listed below
Put all hacks of hicolor icons and mime from ports to bsd.gnome.mk's gnomehack.
deskutils/drivel is the only port that has pkg-plist change, so bump the
PORTREVISION. The rest else should be no function change, but just remove the
patches to allow gnomehack takes care of it. Keep in mind, I only touch those
ports that already have gnomehack.
Reviewed by: pav and marcus
Update to 2.8.2.
Use new INSTALLS_OMF.
Approved by: bland, kwm, marcus and pav
Bump 29 ports that use GCONF_SCHEMAS. Somehow, the diff of GNOME 2.8.x has
lost the small part. The small part was GCONF_SCHEMAS in bsd.gnome.mk that is
taking care of gconf key and schemas files for pkg-plist. Pav has committed by
re-add GCONF_SCHEMAS back in bsd.gnome.mk this afternoon. Therefore, must bump
PORTREVISION to correct our pkg-plist database installed.
Presenting GNOME 2.8 for FreeBSD (2.8.1 to be exact).
This release notes detailing all of the new goodies in GNOME 2.8 can
be found at http://www.gnome.org/start/2.8/notes/, and the list of what
was fixed in GNOME 2.8.1 can be found at
This release, as well as all of our others, would not have been possible
without the great efforts of our FreeBSD GNOME Team. The list of
current members can be found at http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/contact.html
(including our newest member, Michael Johnson <firstname.lastname@example.com>).
Special thanks also goes out to all of the loyal FreeBSD GNOME users that
put up with crashes and hangs to test and debug GNOME on FreeBSD. We would
especially like to thank those users that provided patches for GNOME 2.7 and
Fix plist.

Update to 2.6.2.
Use tabs and not spaces to appease portlint.
* Plug a potential file descriptor leak in the wireless applet
* Add a missing dependency on gstreamerplugins, and bump PORTREVISION
Update to 2.6.1.
Fix package build on !i386.

Presenting GNOME 2.6.0. The FreeBSD GNOME Team feels this our best release
ever. It fixes many bugs, and adds some features missing in previous

Level Up: The Future of Music in Gaming
Music in videogames is now more vibrant than ever. As mobile gaming grows and console games diversify, game developers' musical needs continue to evolve in exciting ways. Hear from artists, music supervisors, and indie and major labels and publishers as they discuss music sync, originally composed works, and originally commissioned remixes for videogames.
Kyle Hopkins oversees music supervision for Microsoft. He curates soundtracks for Xbox game titles such as Forza Motorsport, Nike+ Kinect Training, Kinect Adventures, Crackdown 2 and Alan Wake, and consults on originally composed projects such as Halo 4. Kyle also places music in Xbox game trailers and brand campaigns for Windows Phone, Windows Operating System, Xbox Live, and MSN. You can also hear Kyle on award-winning KEXP 90.3fm in Seattle, where he hosts two weekly radio programs.
Matt Riley is head of digital marketing and sync licensing at Hospital Records. After getting into music as a DJ and promoter, Matt joined Hospital in 2005 and has had a key role in the label's online response to an ever changing digital marketplace.
Matt oversees all of Hospital Records promotional output on the web, seeing great success with artists such as Netsky, Camo & Krooked, Danny Byrd and High Contrast.

Torts thinks highly of Biron
BUFFALO -- Rangers coach John Tortorella was not just being nice to Martin Biron Saturday by starting him in goal in the city in which Biron played nine of his previous 13 NHL seasons.
The 4-1 victory came in only the sixth start of this season for Biron, his last before this a 5-3 victory at Carolina on Dec. 1. And the start had nothing to do with either the site or the fact that the Rangers have the second of back-to-back games Sunday night at Madison Square Garden against Florida.
"We don't get too far ahead ," Tortorella said. "But we feel we have a really good backup.
"I don't even want to call [Biron] a backup. He's played very well. He's going to play some games. We decided this is one he's going to play."
Biron, 34, in his second Rangers season, entered the game with a 4-1-0 record and a goals-against average (1.94) and save percentage (.930) that were slightly better than Lundqvist's.
"The greatest thing about Marty," Tortorella said, "is he's such a great teammate. He keeps the room loose. He's a veteran guy that understands his role, which is very important. And he's won games. Look at his record since he's been with us. It's too bad he got hurt last year ; he would've played more. Everything about him has been good for this organization. His personality, being a teammate, and how he's played on the ice."
The goalie acknowledged having good memories and good friends left in Buffalo. Said Biron, "Some of the teammates I played with and -- I don't want to say some of the parties, because I'm not a big party guy -- but some of the parties were pretty good."

Join the my recipe group, since healthy food is a cornerstone to living the fit life. To check out the recipe and possibly learn a new technique for roasting beets, just
Roasted Beet, Goat Cheese, and Sweet Pecan Salad
- 2 beets, green cuts off, and skins trimmed
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1/2 cup pecans, chopped
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1/4 cup goat cheese crumbled
- 3 cups mixed greens
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 6 tablespoons olive oil
- Sea salt and black pepper
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Thinly slice the beets (about 1/4-inch thick slices) and toss with coconut oil and season with sea salt. Place on baking sheet in single layer, roast for 15 minutes, Remove pan from oven and turn beets over using a spatula. Return beets to oven and roast for another 10 minutes. Set aside and cool completely.
After beets are out of the oven, lower temperature to 250 degrees. Toss pecans with the maple syrup and spread out on a cooking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes, stir and then bake another 15 minutes until pecans are dried and crispy. Set aside to cool.
In a small bowl whisk together balsamic vinegar and olive oil. In a large bowl toss mixed greens with 3/4 of the salad dressing. Season to taste with sea salt and pepper and add more dressing if needed. To assemble, divide salad greens on four plates. Divide the beets evenly and place on top of greens. Sprinkle with maple pecans and goat cheese. Serve immediately.

The Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) said all accounts in credit in Laiki's four UK branches would be shielded from any levy on their accounts under the Mediterra-nean island's bail-out deal.
Depositors in Laiki UK had been at risk of facing the same fate as their Cypriot counterparts, who stand to lose as much as 80pc of their assets above €100,000 (£84,000) to help pay for the bail-out. Deposits will be moved to Bank of Cyprus UK, giving them protection under Britain's banking rules.
The move came on a busy first day for the PRA as MPs and peers threw down the gauntlet to the new regulator over controversial "proprietary trading" – banks dealing on their own account.
Andrew Tyrie, chairman of the Parliamentary Commission on Banking Standards, has written to PRA chief Andrew Bailey to ask for details on how the body plans to "bear down" on banks which place bets with their own money rather than on behalf of customers.
The timing of the letter so early in the PRA's existence signals the Commission's desire to pressure the new authority to prove that a new "judgment-led" approach to regulation can be effective without the need for tough new legislation.
Although last month the Commission decided against recommending a new law against prop trading – saying it would be difficult to define and impossible to enforce – Mr Tyrie stressed that an outright ban is still on the table if the PRA proves ineffective.
A source close to the Commission said the regulator is being given a chance to show that "judgment can succeed where legal box-ticking may not".
Mr Tyrie said: "Proprietary trading carries large risks. It is not a suitable activity for UK-headquartered banks but a blanket ban now is not the most effective approach. We have asked the PRA to use its powers to monitor whether banks appear to be engaging in proprietary trading. Where necessary, regulators should use existing supervisory tools to bear down on it."
At Tuesday's launch of the PRA, Chancellor George Osborne praised its move to protect British savers using Laiki Bank.
He said the new regulator had "sorted out a banking problem without having to come to me and ask for British taxpayers' money" on its "first day in existence. Long may that continue".
Laiki Bank, also known as Cyprus Popular Bank, has three branches in London and one in Birmingham holding around £270m across some 15,000 accounts. These branches will continue to operate under the deal, Bank of Cyprus said in a statement.

It's time to wrap up the last week of tech news for October 2011 – just in time for Halloween tomorrow. Monday, HTC partnered with DropBox to offer all Android users 5GB of free storage on their HTC devices. Whether or not this applies to HTC's past devices or only future ones still remains unclear. Also Monday, Cory Gunther performed a hands-on of the new HTC EVO Design 4G. Near the end of the week a much more comprehensive review was completed.
Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) will be hitting more devices this week and some soon to come. Those of you that own a DROID 2 Global or LG Revolution 4G should see the update pushed to your phones soon enough. The HTC Thunderbolt should also be receiving a needed security patch; yet some of you may be ahead of the game and already be testing the Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) SDK port. Android 4.0 on the Samsung Galaxy S II, Galaxy Note, and Galaxy Tab was confirmed by Samsung Italy Friday, yet still no official word on the actual time of release. Motorola has also confirmed that it will bring Ice Cream Sandwich to its capable devices 6 weeks after Google and Samsung release the Galaxy Nexus; they also committed to leaving future bootloaders unlocked on their devices to come. This may very well mean official over-the-air bootloader patches could become a reality. DROID RAZR pre-orders are set to ship out November 10th, and it would be the most obvious contender for a future Android 4.0 upgrade.
If you're waiting eagerly to see some Android 4.0 features on your own device, then you might find the new Widget Locker update very interesting. It brings the fluid "lens shaped" Ice Cream Sandwich lockscreen to your phone or tablet. The Sony Ericsson XPERIA Ray and Motorola ATRIX 2 were given hands-on treatment this week, so expect to see their full reviews very soon. Sony finally purchased Ericsson out of their joint venture for $1.47 billion dollars Thursday, so whether or not we will continue to see the Ericsson name on their future smartphones is still up in the air.
Our own Michael Crider put the CyanogenMod Android OS port to the HP Touchpad to the test for an entire week. He presented a very detailed analysis of what to currently expect from the alpha version and even what one should expect on future releases to come. Finally, don't forget to check out our Android 4.0 Q and A session straight from Hong Kong!

The credit, to hear Mauricio Portillo tell it, goes to his mom.
"I went home sick today," the Enumclaw running back said Friday after leading the Hornets to a 54-35 non-league win over Heritage at McKenzie Stadium. "I went to two periods and went home. My mom made some amazing chicken soup."
Portillo then went out and rushed for 268 yards and six touchdowns on 32 carries, leaving the Timberwolves (0-3) with another oh-so-close high-scoring loss.
"We've got to tackle and play better defense," Heritage coach Jack Hathaway said. "We're close. That's the good thing, we're close."
But in the end, the Timberwolves were left with nothing but another batch of gaudy offensive statistics:
• Junior quarterback Loren Standiford completed 22 of 39 passes for 404 yards with three touchdowns and one interception.
• Senior receiver Tim Hergert had seven catches for 133 yards and one touchdown, and added a TD on a 98-yard kickoff return.
• Junior receiver E'Lon Mack had six catches for 129 yards and two TDs.
• Junior tight end Robby Cueneta had four receptions for 93 yards.
"It's definitely not a good feeling getting really, really, really close and not getting there," Standiford said. "We play better than any 0-3 team I've ever seen."
Portillo scored three touchdowns and ran for 100 yards in the first quarter as Enumclaw took a 20-7 lead. But Heritage battled back with a 33-yard TD catch by Mack and a 65-yard TD catch by Hergert.
Following another Enumclaw touchdown, Standiford ran for a 1-yard score in the final minute of the first half for a 28-28 tie.
It was 35-35 after three quarters, and Heritage had its first win of the season within sight.
But Enumclaw scored three times in the fourth quarter, putting the game away and finishing with 438 rushing yards. Quarterback Peter Nordby, who ran for 106 yards, complemented the attack by completing 11 of 13 passes for 103 yards.
"They made the plays, and we didn't," Mack said.
Enumclaw 20 8 7 19–54
Heritage 7 21 7 0–35

TEMPLE CITY – Seven people were arrested on drug charges by the sheriff's Asian Gang Team and more than 200 marijuana plants were seized at a home in Temple City, authorities said Wednesday.
The raid at the home in the 4800 block of Glickman Avenue occurred Tuesday at 2 p.m. Four suspects were arrested. On Wednesday, three more were taken into custody, said Sgt. Steve Kim of the Asian Gang Unit.
Warrants were served at four locations, including a residence in the 16900 block of Pocono Street in Valinda and the 100 block of Arbor Court in Covina, Kim said.
Two assault weapons and a handgun were seized at the Covina location, Kim said.
The suspects are believed to be associated with the "Red Door" gang.
All but one of the suspects are Chinese nationals. The other is a naturalized US citizen, Kim said.
The suspects were held on $50,000 bail each and an eighth suspect is still being sought.
The suspects were identified as Guan Yi Mei, 29 of Los Angeles, Ting Mo, 22 of Temple City, Zhen Wei Huang, 29 of Rowland Heights, Man Lai Chon, 31 of Valinda, Hai Qian Zhang, 24 of Los Angeles, Le Sheng Zou, 20 of Los Angeles and Rueng Jian Chen, 28 of Duarte.

California lawmakers approve driver's licenses for illegal immigrants
Published September 13, 2013
Associated Press
"SACRAMENTO, Calif. – California would become the latest state to grant immigrants who are in the country illegally the right to a driver's license under a bill that passed the Legislature late Thursday and that Gov. Jerry Brown supports.
The state Assembly approved the bill on a 55-19 vote late in the evening, hours after the Senate passed it on a 28-8 vote. The Democratic governor issued a statement indicating he would sign it into law, which would make California the 10th state to allow immigrants to apply for licenses.
"This bill will enable millions of people to get to work safely and legally," Brown said in his statement, issued immediately after the Assembly vote. "Hopefully, it will send a message to Washington that immigration reform is long past due.""

Package: libc0.3 Version: 2.24-4 Severity: normal Control: affects -1 cupt Hello Samuel and all,
Thank you for fixing #839742, the original test case now passes. Unfortunately, it was not enough for Cupt test suite on Hurd, since the bug still happens under another circumstances - namely, if the caller itself (executable or shared library) links to pthread. Updated test case attached. -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.0 Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.3.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fi_FI.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fi_FI.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init)
Description: Unix tar archive

After refurbishing our whole kitchen earlier in the year, we decided to replace all of our kitchen appliances, right down to our kettle. Keen for a modern, industrial yet traditional feel, we spent a lot of time looking for the right kettle that would fit our design scheme. Having already decided on a Dualit coffee machine, we came across this kettle and thought it would be the ideal complement on the kitchen work top. I love that it has the traditional dome look, yet is still sleek and modern for an up to date kitchen.
With a fill indicator on the side you can easily see how much water is in the kettle, although if you fill it to the 2 marker, you'll find you wont have enough water for two standard mugs of tea. I personally also find it quite hard to take the lid on and off to fill the kettle. It is simple to operate with just the one button to push down, and sits on a base so is conveniently cordless when needed. It also has a nice pour, with few spillages. However, the base it sits on does have a tendency to condensate so you do need to wipe this down frequently. As with any kettle, it does scale up quickly and to keep it nice and shiny it does require regular polishing and cleaning.
I do really like the kettle but as we have only recently bought it, it remains to be seen whether it will be worth the extra money compared to other alternatives or if I have simply bought into the brand.
The Dualit DA7262 is a compact dome kettle. It offers a traditional shape and pouring action with a 1.7 litre capacity / The 3kW element boils quickly whilst two large integral viewing windows allow you to boil no more than you need each time.
