I used dd if=/dev/nbd/0 of=/dev/null bs=X with both X=1 and X=1M.Both with the same result. That the 1byte requests join together to bigger ones can only be explained with read-aheads strategies.Anyway, the result is always the same:without patch: 127KB, 1KB, 127KB, 1KBwith path: 128KB, 128KB, 128KBAs long as dd doesn't write i'm sure that i didn't see any write requests. In addition it is a very regular pattern.If it is really the case that the cache reads 256 sectors and the default limit is 255, than this would also happen for all other block-devices. In addition it would be a good thing to look up if the cache takes the max_sectors stuff into accout while determining the amout of sectors it reads ahead.-To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" inthe body of a message to email@example.com majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.htmlPlease read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/

text: I am doing a Dresden Plate quilt for my daughter. I had all the blocks placed on my sewing table ready to sew together. My son showed up with his 5 children and I shut the sewing room and didn't worry. Wrong thing to do. Somehow one of the children got into the sewing room unnoticed and took a pair of scissors to one of my blocks. I found it today after they had gone home. I saved most of the Dresden and I have plenty of that fabric but I am afraid the block background may be gone. My problem is this---I don't have any more of this fabric and it is a white Kona Cotton. White is sometimes hard to match. Most of the damage can be hidden under the plate but there is a cut about an inch long on one of the edges. NATURALLY. Does anyone have an idea if I cannot match and replace the background?

Love dancing? Looking for something other than just Zumba? Oh, ladies. We have it. It's called Soli Beat; and it's darn fun.
If you're a fitness blog junkie, you might recognize the gal on the right. That there is Gina, The Fitnessista, and one of our online buds. And by the time you're done with the workout, you'll feel like you know the other instructor Sasha Price by first name, too. Now, if you don't have one of those fun jingly sashes, no worries. We didn't either, but that didn't stop us from shaking our tailfeathers.
With just the right mix of booty shaking and challenging yet learn-able (new word!) choreography, this DVD is an hour long and features eight dance routines that will definitely get your heart rate up. Pulling from West African, Afro Brazilian, Latin and Belly Dancing styles, there's a little bit of something for everyone. And all of the basic moves are broken down step-by-step in a separate section so that you can master them before doing the routines. That way, when the beats start going, you just get to dance your little heart out.
Which is truly the best part of this DVD: it's fun. There's a live band there supplying the tunes with awesome beats and a fun African vibe, and Sasha and Gina are less "instructors" and more leaders. Kind of like how Zumba instructors teach in live classes, there's not a whole lot of vocal cuing or talking at all — more like hand gestures and motivational "woots!" Seeing that this is a dance workout and not something where specific form is super important like, say, weight-lifting, this format is refreshing and works really well — especially as you memorize the dances as you do the workout over and over.
While we do wish a little of the music varied a bit, that's our only "complaint." And it's pretty much made up for because the music is live and fun and oh-so high energy. It probably helps if you have some basic knowledge of dance or Zumba to do this dance workout DVD, but with time and practice, you could get the steps down.
FBG Rating (Out of 5):
Instruction: ★★★★
Long-Term Likeability: ★★★★★
Music: ★★★★
Fun Factor: ★★★★★
Meets Expectations: ★★★★★
Overall: ★★★★1/2
Best for: Gals who love to dance and are looking for a new workout DVD to — quite literally — shake things up!
Okay, who knows where we can buy one of those jingly sashes? —Jenn

Fisticuffs with the boss could potentially be confused by some at the office as a sign of insubordination. Vigorous dancing on his desk with exotic facial contortions and frequent airborne double-bird fist pumping hand gestures while wearing the Hesh headphones is probably a more diplomatic way of saying, leave him alone so he can rock again.

Frank Leach is the Leach family member that plays golf. It was never his son Mike not until this year.
Now that he is head football coach at a major college, Mike Leach has no choice. About 460 Texas Tech football fans, coaches and athletic department staff members hit it around Saturday at Meadowbrook Golf Complex in the annual Red Raider Open.
The new coach of the Raiders shook hands, talked football, had his picture taken a number of times, presented awards to winners ... and didn't hit near as many golf shots as his predecessor, Spike Dykes, used to.
''I don't play golf at all,'' Leach admitted. ''Golf's really not my game. Part of it is I get tied up too much to be very good at it. My dad golfs a lot. But when I was younger, I didn't really care for golf very much I guess a combination of not being very good at it and not being very motivated by it.''
Regardless, Tech officials declared the former Spike's Open a success, especially since the day started with rain in the morning. It went away and made the rest of the day mostly ideal for playing.
Dykes, a more-than-willing golfer who swings from the left side, used to hit a tee shot for each team. Leach did little of that, but still was a steady presence near a tee box.
''This has been a heck of a deal (with) an unbelievable amount of people,'' Leach said. ''The weather didn't slow it down at all, and then as time went on, it cooperated.''
Tech officials describe the summer golf shindig as a friend-raiser more than a fund-raiser. Players got to play a round, meet the coach, have lunch and take home a certificate good for a couple of tickets to the Sept. 9 Tech-North Texas football game all for $50.
''It's not intended to generate revenue, to be honest,'' said Red Raider Club executive director Steve Uryasz. ''I think if you threw in our hourly wages in these type of things, we'd probably be in trouble.
''But that's the purpose of this is to get our coaches out with the masses. It's the single largest golf tournament in the state of Texas.''
Bigger than anything put on by downstate rivals Texas and Texas A&M?
''They don't do anything like this,'' Uryasz said. ''Think about it. Not very many golf tournaments have over 400 participants. This is four shotgun starts in a day.''
Alan Berger and John Cook, playing the afternoon round on the Meadowbrook Canyon Course, carded the best score of the day, a 59, in the two-man scramble.
In the morning round on the Canyon Course, David March and David Booth won the top flight shooting 60. Former Tech player Donald Roberts and his son, Tech tight end Cole Roberts, took the fourth flight with a 63.
In the morning round on the Meadowbrook Creek Course, Jason Dixon's and Ben Piper's 61 won the top flight.
''It's always great to see the support that we have here at Texas Tech,'' linebackers coach Ruffin McNeill said. ''It's great to be outside, too. A bad day of golf is worse than a good day in the office, but it's fun, too.''

The Biggest Round I've Seen in a LONG Time...
Series B funding, as you may recall, is the 2nd institutional round of equity funding that a company receives.
Typically a Series B financing event will raise $5 to $10 million for the company. But this is just a guide, and many companies raise less or more than this amount.
Like Amonix who designs and manufacturers concentrated photovoltaic solar power systems.
Last week Amonix raised a $129.4 million Series B financing round - this is the biggest Series B round I've seen in a long time. The round was led by the VC firm Kleiner, Perkins, Caufield & Byers. Other participants in the round included Adams Street Partners, Angeleno Group, PCG Clean Energy & Technology Fund, Vedanta Capital LP, New Silk Route, The Westly Group, and current investor MissionPoint Capital Partners.
A few notes to point out:
1. $129.4 million - yes, that's a LOT of money. There is a ton of financing waiting for the right companies. So yes, even in this economy, venture capital financing IS readily available.
2. The round was "led" by one VC firm. The "lead" VC firm creates the terms of the deal. They also invest the most money. The other investors are called "syndicate investors" or "co-investors" and invest at the same terms as the lead investor, so you only need to negotiate once. Having multiple VC firms participating in a venture capital financing event is common.
3. The "current investor" means the investor who provided the previous round of funding (Series A). Oftentimes, as happened in this case, that investor will put in more money to retain their share of the company's equity.
If you are seeking venture capital financing, I not only lay out the exact proven path you should take, but educate you on every detail you need to know in my Step-By-Step Guide to Raising Venture Capital.

All News Releases By Date
Gulf Water Sampling Results
Release Date: 01/06/2006
Contact Information: Eryn Witcher, (202) 564-4355 / email@example.com
(Washington, D.C.-Jan. 6, 2006) Test results from Gulf of Mexico sampling indicate that at most, relatively low levels of fecal contamination were present after the hurricane. The Clostridium perfringens tests show that the levels were low to undetectable. Previously released enterococcus tests show that at the time of sampling the water was appropriate for any kind of recreational use--including swimming. Water samples were collected by the OSV Bold in the Gulf from Sept. 27 through Oct. 2, 2005 at monitoring stations in the river channels and nearshore waters surrounding the Mississippi Delta. The agency monitored 20 areas to determine whether fecal pollution from flooded communities had spread into these waters.
Clostridium perfringens is a bacterium, found in the intestinal tract of both humans and animals. It enters the environment through feces. There are no EPA health-based ambient water quality criteria for C. perfringens. Therefore, there is no approved analytical method for assessing water quality using this bacterium. However, some scientists recommend using C. perfringens spores as a tracer of fecal pollution because its presence is a good indicator of recent or past fecal contamination in water and spores survive well beyond the typical life-span of other fecal bacteria.
EPA previously released results for enterococcus, which was detected at four of 20 stations from 10 to 53.1 bacteria colonies per 100 milliliters. These results indicate that the water is suitable for any kind of recreational use. This level is below the most conservative marine water criteria of 104 bacteria per 100 milliliters.
It is difficult, due to absence of previously analyzed data, to determine the source of the C. perfringens and enterococci. They could have been present prior to the hurricane. Bacteria were not routinely analyzed prior to Hurricane Katrina.
While all of these results are encouraging for recreational uses, this data should not be used to assess the safety of consuming raw or undercooked molluscan shellfish--such as oysters--because accidental ingestion of water presents different risks than eating raw or undercooked shellfish.

Instructions: BWP SW 39, 40, 41, 42, 44
Form: BWP SW 39, 40, 41, 42, 44
Transmittal Form & Number for Permit Application & Payment
Permit Fact Sheet
- What is the purpose of these determinations?
Some types of solid waste may be used as an effective substitute for a commercial product or commodity. This is termed "beneficial use" of a solid waste. MassDEP must determine that this use of solid waste is beneficial and will not harm public health or the environment. The material is then classified as a secondary material and not as a solid waste. The approval may limit use of the material to a specific location or to a specific application of the material, or both.
Legal authority is found in MGL c. 21A, ss. 2 and 8, c. 111, ss. 150A. Regulatory authority is found in 310 CMR 19.000: Solid Waste Management Regulations, specifically 310 CMR 19.060, Beneficial Use of Solid Wastes.
- Who must apply?
Any individual, business or organization that wants to beneficially use solid waste materials or to modify an existing beneficial use determination approval.
2a. Which application should I file, BWP SW 39, BWP SW 40, BWP SW 41, BWP SW 42 or BWP SW 44?
The application you should use is determined by the intended use of the material as defined below. In addition, modifications of existing beneficial use determinations are subject to the modification category also listed below.
BWP SW 39. Category 1 -- Use of Secondary Materials in Commercial Products.
Products manufactured from secondary materials or secondary materials that are directly used as products are considered commercial products under the following conditions:
- When the product is used in a manner that is consistent with industry accepted product specifications or performance standards;
- When the product is controlled and managed throughout its lifecycle in a manner that effectively limits potential for illegal or inadvertent disposal or releases of hazardous material to the environment and exposure to people;
- When any adverse impacts or significant risks to public health, safety and the environment, including, but not limited to, nuisance conditions, can be evaluated and controlled.
- Products applied to the land cannot be considered commercial products.
BWP SW 40. Category 2 -- Use of Secondary Materials in Regulated Systems. Beneficial use of secondary materials at facilities permitted, approved or otherwise regulated by the Department.
BWP SW 41. Category 3 -- Use of Secondary Materials in Restricted Applications. Secondary materials that are beneficially used in applications that utilize risk management techniques in order to prevent adverse impact or significant risks to public health, safety and the environment, including, but not limited to, nuisances.
BWP SW 42. Category 4 -- Use of Secondary Material in Unrestricted Applications Secondary materials that are beneficially used in applications that do not limit exposure to potential human or environmental receptors from secondary material constituents that have the potential to adversely impact or create a risk to public health, safety, or the environment, including, but not limited to, nuisance conditions. Unrestricted beneficial use proposals are subject to the most comprehensive risk evaluations.
BWP SW 44. Modification - This permit category is used any time an applicant wants to modify an existing previously approved beneficial use determination permit.
For more clarification on which application to use please see 310 CMR 19.060, the "Guidance for Beneficial use Determinations" or contact MassDEP.
- What other requirements should be considered when applying for these determinations?
The proponent must gather the appropriate data on the physical, chemical and biological nature of the material for which a beneficial use determination is requested. The generator of the waste material may be able to provide most or all of the required information. All relevant analytical data must be documented and provided by a certified laboratory.
All risk assessments, evaluations and other analysis must be performed by qualified and appropriate professionals experienced in that field of expertise.
Note: These additional requirements are intended to serve as a guide to the applicant. It does not necessarily include all requirements.
- What is the application fee?
See: Permit Application Timelines and Fees Schedule
- What is the Primary Permit Location? What is the Reserve Copy Location?
For beneficial use determinations that will be for a use contained within a single MassDEP Regional Office
Primary Permit Location:
DEP't. of Environmental Protection
__________* Regional Office
Solid Waste Management
Reserve Copy Location:
Board of Health
(See note).
Find Your Region
For beneficial use determinations that are requesting approval for use at any location throughout the state
Department of Environmental Protection
Business Compliance Division
Bureau of Waste Prevention
One Winter Street
Boston, MA 02108
Note: A copy of the application must be sent to the board of health for the community in jurisdiction of which the material is to beneficially used unless MassDEP determines that the proposed use is not limited to a specific location and therefore it is not practical to identify the board of health. The applicant should consult the appropriate MassDEP regional office by phone or letter before the application is made.
- Where can I get a copy of the timelines?
See: Permit Application Timelines and Fees Schedule
- What is the annual compliance fee?
There is no annual compliance fee for these determinations.
- How long are these determinations in effect?
There is no specific time limit to a determination of beneficial use unless stipulated for one time use of the material or as otherwise limited by the approval.
- How can I avoid the most common mistakes made in applying for these determinations?
- Submit all the data on the chemical, physical and biological properties of the waste required for MassDEP to make a determination.
- Submit a signed copy of the certification form.
- Submit fee and one copy of the MassDEP Transmittal Form http://mass.gov/dep/service/online/trasmfrm.shtml to:
Department of Environmental Protection
P. O. Box 4062
Boston, MA 02211.
- What are the regulations that apply to these determinations? Where can I get copies?
These regulations include, but are not limited to:

Youngest Weed'em & Reap members ready for Friday.
Posted Sunday, August 22, 2010, at 1:44 PM
Weed'em & reap is gearing up for another meeting this coming Friday, August 27th. We drift in between 6:00 and 6:30 and usually conclude by 7:30-8:00. It usually depends on how deep we want to get into our topics.
I have a book I will highlight later in the week that we will use as a door prize. We just put our names in a bowl and pick out the lucky winner.
If you need help getting there, let me know early and we will work our some type of transportation.

Subject: [Q-R] Hamelin/Aubert
Hi Luci,I am descended from Francois Hamelin and Marie Madeleine Aubert.
Unfortunately I too am looking for parents of Francois Hamelin. I do have
parents for Marie though. I can't give you sources at this point, as I don't
have them handy. From what I have on hand, her parents were Jacques Aubert
and Antoinette Meunier. I also have noted that Jacques Aubert had purchased
the 100 square mile seigneurie of St Charles Des Roches de Grondines, and
employed Louis Hamelin (who married Jacques other daughter 6 years earilier
than Francois married Marie Madeleine) and probably Francois as well. In
1694, Louis bought part of Aubert's seigneurie (according to notary
records). While there seems to be no record of any transaction involving
Francois, as early as 1705, he was referred to in notary records as
"seigneur en partie". By 1714, his official title was "coseigneur". This is
about all I have on the relationship between the Hamelin's and Jacques
Any help in finding in the parents of Francois, would be appreciated.
<<I have a Francois Hamelin married 1685 at Grondines to
Marie-MadeleineAubert. Need to verify parents of both spouses. Thank you.

Super Clyde Needs Tire Help
I am a very large rider (300 lbs +). I have my tires pumped up to the max (60 PSI) and they still look a little pancakey to me when Im on the bike. Im looking for recommendations for the highest PSI tire I can get in the 26" size. The wider the better. I have searched around on Google for a couple hours and cant seem to find a slick or semi slick rated over 65 PSI. Thanks for any help!:)
Before I switched to 1.5" Armadillos, I used 1.95" knobbies on the mtb. I was 270lbs. At the rated 80lbs, they still looked somewhat squashed. I currently run the Armadillos at 90lbs which is 10lbs over rate. I do this because I like the lighter handling of running slightly over, not to avoid the squashing. If you use wider tires, you will usually get alittle more bulging. A Kevlar enhanced tire like Armadillos and other brands will have stiffer characteristics.
I'm running Bontrager Road Warrior 26x1.5 slicks on my bike. They're rated for 80 psi, and they're pretty darn fast.
I've never seen them on the web, but my LBS just had them in their regular stock.
You don't say if you are on or offroad, but any tyre will take more than the recommended max. On our tandem- which incidentally is 400lbs all up weight- we Use Fire XC's in 2.1 size and although we run them at 65 normally- On dry conditions they get upped to 75psi. On the slick side, we use Scwalbe Marathons in 1.4 at 110 psi. Either of these tyres have been proved to take in excess of your weight, but there are others around.
thank you for the replies thus far. I am strictly on road-just had to buy a mtb to hold my weight:rolleyes: how much over stated can one usually run tires?
Before you push the psi. higher get your lbs to tell you if the rims can handle it!!
There is a good chance that your rims are not rated much above your current psi. and it may result in a split rim or sudden failure whilst riding.
As a pretty heavy rider myself, be wary of high pressure (especially over 100psi) tyres. With higher pressures, you will start to get problems with rims and spokes.
A friend of mine is just over 300 lbs and she has MTB slick tires rated to 80 psi. They are kevlar reinforced and don't squish much.
I am not sure where you are looking, but Nashbar has plenty of 65 psi plus tires for MTBs.
Also tyres are SUPPOSED to compress when you put weight on them. You really want just the minimum pressure needed to prevent complete squashing when you hit a bump or a rock which can lead to pinched flats. So if you're not getting pinched flats at 60psi, then you don't have to worry at all. Although 80psi will have you roll faster. Personally, I like the Tioga City Slickers, kinda like a motorcycle-tyre on a bike. Or the Specialized Nimbus is pretty nice as well. The Specialized FatBoy is a 1.25" narrow slick that can take like 80-90psi and will have your bike roll as fast as a road-bike. But the ride's really harsh at that pressure.
I weigh 320 and ride Serfa Drifters in the 1.5" width on my Sedona.
Both of the tubes blew out from the additional pressure with my rims at different times (on the inside... probably spoke related). Ironically they each blew out when the bike was sitting in my apartment, and not when I was riding. Ironic and lucky! :D
This was a little over 2 years ago and I then replaced both tubes with thorn resistant (which are thicker at the tread, but also thicker inside) and I haven't had a flat yet. I suspect the same could have been done with a good rim strip or tape.
There might be better rolling tires, but my Drifters pumped to 80 PSI are proven to withstand 320 pounds on pavement (including 2 metric centuries, and many other rides) and crushed gravel (primarily the Lehigh Gorge Rail Trail). I am not sure how much mileage I have on the tires, but it is well over a thousand, and there is plenty of life left in them.
All this, and they are inexpensive! ;)
Assuming that your rim is rated for 100 PSI, there should be no problem running a tire rated at 90 PSI maximum at 100 PSI. Tire PSI ratings build in a substantial safety margin.
A tire provides its best performance at 15% deflection. For a 300 pound rider, on a given tire, 15% deflection might be obtained at 100 PSI. On that same tire, a 120 pound rider might obtain 15% (a slight visible decrease in the distance between the rim and the pavement when seated on the bike) at just 40 PSI. So, the "best" PSI for a given tire is different for each cyclist.
I just put on 1.95" Armadillos which I pump up to about 85 psi on my mtb. Nice slickish tread for the road (and it looks like only 1" of it is actually rolling when I go through a puddle) but extra traction on turns and when it gets sandy/muddy. I go through some nasty stuff (glass, nails, tacks, etc...) and it's been able to handle most of it (got one nail that got me on their virgin ride but otherwise fine). Did 80 miles in the NYC Century and they did fine - plenty of glass stuck in them but didn't go through. Definately a bumpier ride then my old knobbies though.
By the way - I'm at 260 so I know what you're talking about. Say hi in the Clydes thread - we're working on creating a separate forum for topics like this. Many of the Clydes in that thread ride road bikes with Mavic Pro wheelsets. I'm slowly becoming a believer...but it'll still be a little while until I get a roadie!
Get a roadie. It is like another world.
I make my Performance XXXL jersey look like a euro racing cut skin suit. I look good.
super-clydes unite! 325lbs here. I have ridden 1.25" slicks at 95psi, and right now am on 2.125 slicks at around 70psi (rated for 65). I tend to take sidewall ratings as a suggestion more than anything.
Started riding at 245 lbs, and ride often with my wife on a tandem with combined weight of over 350 lbs. (I'm down to 220 lbs now.)
I've never had problems with tires running pressures of 40psi to 60 psi, and at the 60 psi level the tires are like rocks. You need some give in the tires for them to work properly, but you don't want them to be so low as to allow pinch flats or other problems.
Gauging the bulge from a riding position is difficult at best. Can you get a friend or another rider to look at your tires and see if they are going too low?
FWIW, I've recently switched to Armadillos due to puncture flats all summer, really like them so far. The extra belts and cord might help you some. Mine are 26x1.90 and are rated up to 80 psi, but I still run them at 55-60 psi, which is plenty firm.
Hope this helps.

Drummer Tony Bianco heads an avant-garde swamped band through eleven structured compositions. In the long run, Bianco manoeuvres the quintet through a perpetual state of crusade via a ragbag of pulses and puzzling cymbal signatures. The drummer often values space to the collective welfare, marked by a great sense of timing and pace. Reedist Liebmann dialogues through free patterns, counterbalancing motifs while generally displaying moments of fervor with sequences of conspectus tonalities. It's a seriously acute journey, marked by amazing moments of distinction. The band does steer the free-form musical soundcapes with a noticeable retaliation.
Bianco melds forth with his prevailing transcription of stylistic virtue and risk within this excellent band format. On this studio set recorded with an acoustically-appealing Berlin chamber music setting, Bianco aligns some outstanding artists such as Alan Lennox, Eric St-Laurent and balaphon player, Ali Keita. The art-work is stimulating and conceived by Ewan Rigg.
The party ventures over wide dialogues while Bianco keeps the fuel downright alight. On the piece titled "Honey in the Forest," balaphon and flute consolidates a knock down, drag away type swing groove amid Oriental rhythms and Eastern sound like tendencies. Through the whole work Bianco showcases uneven pulsing spaces. Notwithstanding, an explicit sense of enduring motion percolates this effort, mostly due to strong soloing spots by saxophonist Liebmann.
Absolutely beautiful and occasionally threatening, Liebmann integrates fresh sounds into the slightly sulky and aeriform mix on "Surya", offering a great exploratory session. Bianco's masterful work on cymbals brings forth tons of contrast amid Liebmann's delectable phrasings.
Tony Bianco wished for this album to represent Indian spiritual goals of romance, hence, the musicians forgo a very inspiring series of fulfillments on this striking release. Impressive....

The diplomat, who took up the appointment in November, made her comments about an event that takes place annually in the Japanese village of Taiji.
The ambassador tweeted: "Deeply concerned by inhumaneness of drive hunt dolphin killing. USG (US Government) opposes drive hunt fisheries."
Every year, fishermen in Taiji corral hundreds of dolphins in a secluded bay, select a few dozen for sale to aquariums and marine parks and stab the rest to death for meat.
Activists from the militant environmental group Sea Shepherd are among those protesting against the event, which usually takes place in September. They have streamed live footage.
A petition has been launched by Change.org demanding Mrs Kennedy, who is John F Kennedy's last surviving daughter, take action to stop the Taiji "slaughter".
The event drew worldwide attention in 2010 when it became the subject of the Oscar-winning documentary The Cove.
The town's fishermen defend the hunt as a cultural tradition, and The Cove was met by protests from right-wing activists when it was screened in Japan in 2010.
Since the film was made, the town has stepped up security to prevent confrontations between activists and local people.
A fishing industry official, who asked to remain anonymous, told AFP news agency that the outside world had no right to interfere in Japan's traditions.
He said: "We've got our lives. We can't simply nod (to protests) and end centuries of our tradition.
"If you want to talk about cruelty, you couldn't eat cows, pigs or any other living creatures."
He said there was no bloodshed and the sea did not turn red, unlike scenes in The Cove.
One Japanese tweeter @somtamtomyam said in response to Ms Kennedy's tweet: "Eskimo, Canadian eat seals. Aussie eat kangaroos, Korean & Chinese eat dogs, Danish eat #dolphins. Why ppl only blame Japan?"

JERUSALEM, July 26 (UPI) -- Arab members of the Israeli Knesset said they're urging the Palestinian leadership to go ahead with their plan of seeking U.N. statehood recognition.
The Palestinian plan of attaining recognition should go forward without delay and regardless of the objection of some countries, said Jamal Zahalkah, a member of the Israeli Knesset and chairman of the National Democratic Assembly.
Mohammad Barakah, a Knesset member and chairman of the Democratic Front for Peace and Equality, said the Palestinian cause should be handled internationally.
"The Palestinian[s] should go on with their plans in attaining U.N. statehood recognition regardless of the peace talks, which can also go side by side," he told gulfnews.com.
"The U.N. move and the peace talks do not contradict each other, but complement each other," he said.
A meeting of the Central Council of the Palestinian Liberation Organization set for Wednesday will make the final decision on the Palestinian move, Barakah said.
"Success is not totally guaranteed with the Palestinian plan, but the Palestinians stand in urgent need to ask the countries around the world to announce a political and ethical position," he said.

LOUISVILLE, Miss. (WCBI) – Christmas is great time of year for most kids. School is out. Family comes to visit. And, you get presents. But not every child is so fortunate. A local first grader is doing her part to make sure every child has a gift to open on Christmas morning.
Six year old Stella Williamson is definitely in the Christmas spirit. This first grader at Nanih Waiya Elementary is more excited about giving than receiving. While other kids her age are thinking about Santa Making a special visit and all the presents they'll get, she is thinking about others and how she can help.
Stella says, "It's more important than me because if they have nothing then that's not alright with me."
Stella is part of three generations of giving. Her Nanna inspired her to always think of those less fortunate. Every day WCBI News holds a Midday Toy Give Away, where winners are randomly picked. Her name was selected, but it was the note on the back that took us by surprise. Instead of keeping the toy herself, Stella insisted on giving it to someone else.
Stella says, "I want to give every kid what they need every day. If they don't have something I want to give them something."
Stella's Mom Jessica Williamson says, "Where every we're at she is trying to pick out a toy or book or anything to give away."
Generosity is a way of life for Stella. She has helped with money boxes in the classroom, a family adoption through her schools student council, Toys for Tots and the Angel Tree Program.
According to Stella Christmas is a time of shareing, "It just means about giving and caring and mostly about Jesus and God."
As the holiday draws closer, Stella will be thinking about what she doesn't need and what of her's she can hand over to someone a little less fortunate. This 6 year old is what the Christmas season is all about, setting an example for all to follow.
Stella's gift will be going to Toys for Tots. WCBI was so impressed with her giving spirit, we sent her a gift of her own as well.

Interview: August 13, 2014
Martha Woodroof's debut novel, SMALL BLESSINGS, introduces readers to Tom Putnam, a college English professor who is stuck in an existence that hasn't changed in decades. Suddenly, he finds that his life takes on new light and expanded possibilities when everything around him is upended by what first appears to be a terrible tragedy. In this interview, Woodroof talks to Bookreporter.com's Amie Taylor about what inspires people to venture out of their comfort zones and pursue happiness, and how love can hold together even the most diverse groups. She also opens up about why she can't choose favorites when it comes to her characters and the reason she prefers country living to city life.
Bookreporter.com: What was your inspiration for SMALL BLESSINGS, your debut novel?
Martha Woodroof: I'm interested in the amount of courage it takes for a person to risk changing, even when the change is for the better. SMALL BLESSINGS actually came from the idea of a certifiably nice guy who's stuck in a very limited life because he is a nice guy; but then --- presto! --- he has an opportunity to risk being happy. Will he go for it, or will he stay in his comfort zone?
BRC: When SMALL BLESSINGS begins, it appears that Tom Putnam will be stuck in his dreary life with Marjory and her idiosyncrasies forever. What made you decide to emancipate him so early on in the book?
MW: For me, any kind of change (for better as well as for worse) is challenging. Life just never stands still, so how we respond to change really determines the quality of the life we live. It's hard to imagine greater changes in Tom's life than the ones he's presented with. They may happen early in the novel, but not early in Tom's life. The novel just happens to pick up at the point that this change happens.
BRC: Even though Marjory was only in the picture for a short time, I just wanted to shake her and tell her to pull herself together. Do you ever get frustrated with your own characters and want to offer them advice?
MW: I think Marjory is way beyond being able to pull herself together. As someone who's had her own bouts with depression (nothing in Marjory's league), I think I felt more empathetic with her than impatient. I love that Marjory keeps trying to get better and keeps believing she can. But I also love that you had a completely opposite reaction. To me, that means Marjory is as real as someone living on the page can be.
As to my characters in general, I am old enough (67 --- and don't you dare think that "old" is a pejorative rather than simply a descriptive adjective!!!!) to be well aware that we humans are inherently flawed. To me, learning how to get out of our own way is a lifelong process. I see SMALL BLESSINGS as a constellation of characters, each of whom makes significant progress in that direction. So from my position on the sidelines of their lives, I found myself cheering these people on rather than feeling frustrated with them. But again, to each reader, her/his own reaction!
BRC: Not only is Tom freed from the bondage of Marjory, so is Marjory's mother, Agnes Tattle. Would you say that Tom and Agnes were the strong ones in the trio, or was it really Marjory who was running the show in a roundabout way?
MW: I think they're all three pretty strong people. Tom and Agnes are Marjory's caretakers, but it's because she's ill rather than because she's manipulative. That, to me, is an important distinction. All three characters exhibit a kind of quiet courage that I greatly admire. As to who's running the show, I would posit that the show is more bumbling along than being run!
BRC: You've managed to tie the lives of Tom, Agnes, Russell, Rose and Iris in ways that it would be difficult for any of them to extricate themselves from the group. What is it that really holds them together when they're all so different?
MW: In a word, love.
I think there are all kinds of love, as well as all kinds of vulnerability. Tom, Agnes, Russell, Rose and Iris all have the ability to respond with kindness to each other's needs. And to me, kindness is love in action.
BRC: It seems that you have no qualms about putting your characters through the wringer at every possible opportunity. Did you ever want to give them a break, or did you enjoy ratcheting up the odds against them?
MW: Oh golly, maybe it's because I've led such a rackety life myself, but I felt as though I was just letting these people's lives unfold rather than making things difficult for them. In my experience, real life is just flat-out, non-stop challenging; one dadgum thing after another.
BRC: SMALL BLESSINGS is full of unexpected twists and turns that simply launch themselves at the reader out of nowhere. Did you plan all of those surprises ahead of time, or did they gradually unfold during the writing process? Have you always had such a wild and wicked imagination?
MW: I taught myself to write novels by writing novels. For years, I've been getting up early to have a couple of hours to write fiction before diving into the world of public radio. I don't think I could plan a story out if someone said my next cup of coffee depended on it! Instead, I sit down at the computer, dive into my imaginary world, and see what its inhabitants are up to now.
As to the wild and wicked imagination, I have to again refer to my age and my rackety life. I've met a lot of people and done a lot of different things. As to what happens to the characters in SMALL BLESSINGS, I'll leave it to you to guess where experience ends and imagination begins.
P.S. None of the characters in SMALL BLESSINGS are actually based on anyone I've ever known. Really.
BRC: Is there any character in the novel you identify with more closely than the others? Was one easier to write than the others?
MW: I, like Rose, have worked in a college bookstore; I'm bossy like Agnes; I'm a substance abuser like Iris. But otherwise the characters are wholly themselves. And I found them all equally pleasurable to write. They became, in a way, my most fun friends, and I missed their daily company when the novel was finally done.
BRC: How does the concept of small blessings factor into your life? Do you take pleasure in the small blessings that occur?
MW: Yes! But it's more of a habit I acquired in recovery, rather than a talent I was born with.
BRC: Your bio says that you live in the Shenandoah Valley with cows as your nearest neighbors. Do you find that the solitude helps or hinders your writing?
MW: I love the home I've made with my husband, Charlie. We've been in the same house for over 10 years, the longest I've ever lived anywhere since I left for boarding school at 16. Home for me is a combination of the house itself, the land around it, our lovely country neighbors and, of course, our cat, who's an attitude on four paws.
I do, however, think part of the attraction of quiet country life is the slam-bang nature of my professional life. I'm still a working journalist. Most days, after my morning writing time, I go into my office at WMRA Public Radio where there's plenty of hubbub. Then, at the end of a very busy day, I'm happy to go home, weed the garden, cook supper and watch a Washington Nationals baseball game with Charlie.
As to whether living in the country helps or hinders my writing, I would say neither. Writing, for me, requires a calm head. But I seem to be able to achieve a calm head in a coffee shop as effectively as in my home office.
If the question is do I prefer living in the country, the answer is yes! I'm not sure Charlie and I are civilized enough anymore to live in the city.
BRC: What are you working on now, and when might readers expect to see it?
MW: I'm working on a couple of novels with an intertwining cast of characters (including some from SMALL BLESSINGS). I'm on a second draft of one of them. I'm hoping to have it done in six months at the most. The timing of its appearance in bookstores, however, is up to a publisher.

Next year legislators most likely will be debating the idea of requiring premarital education in Illinois, according to Chicago attorney Gemma Allen, who established a think tank on divorce and is helping to write the legislation.
To that I jump up and down and scream "Amen."
I would suggest that the only training this pre-mistake program would need is a field trip to the Daley Center, where, daily, lives fall apart by the dozens as men and women put asunder what God apparently joined together in slipshod fashion.

Apollo E Cigarette: One Of The Oldest Brands Got New
Green Smoke offers a variety of models in terms of accessories, including the batteries that come beautifully in a magnet box.
January 22, 2014 (Newswire.com) - Apollo is one of the most renowned brands in the e cigarette industry. They have been in the market for a longer period of time and hence are enjoying a larger customer base. It is a very trusted brand which is cleared from any Apollo Review. It has a very elegant packaging model which is available in black and white form with an attractive case, which you may not find in many other standard starter kits. Here we will present an honest Review about Apollo.
It offers a variety of models in terms of accessories, including the batteries that come beautifully in a magnet box. It offers two batteries, manual and automatic. Other accessories include a USB charger, a disposable e-cigarette pack, a pack of cartomizers, etc. The battery model it uses is of old fashioned, yet it can work well for the occasional smokers. However, those who are in the habit of finishing one or two pack per day; they should choose the extreme starter kit, which cost quite economically.
The batteries are light and easy to use. But they are not long lasting contrary to what many reviews speak about. Such a small battery pack cannot contain enough power for longer use. A single battery can give you maximum two hours of service. The batteries are of good quality and they respond well.
The portable charging case will be ideal for those who smoke in a considerable manner per day. The charging case will help them in the absence of availability of some power resource. Apart from charging your battery, they can contain spaces available to store at least five cartomizers. It has the capacity to charge a battery five to eight time's maximum which is good enough. One advantage with the LED screen is that it will display how much juice left inside and whether the battery is in full charge or not. However, the case is a little bulky and you will have to carry it in your hand rather than keeping your pocket.
This brand cannot produce much vapor. The disposable package might come as a bonus, but it lacks adequate vapor. Both the kits come in different flavor like vanilla, coffee, menthol etc. Over and all, barring the PCC facility, this brand lacks in terms of vapor production.

India names first female president
Published 5:30 am, Saturday, July 21, 2007
NEW DELHI — India elected Pratibha Patil as the country's first female president today in a vote seen as a victory for the hundreds of millions of Indian women who contend with widespread discrimination.
Patil received 65.82 percent of the votes cast by national lawmakers and state legislators, said Election Commission head P.D.T. Achary. She had been widely expected to win.
Patil, the 72-year-old candidate of the governing Congress party and its political allies, defeated incumbent Vice President Bhairon Singh Shekhawat, the candidate of the opposition Bharatiya Janata Party.
"I am grateful to the people of India, to all the men and women of India," Patil said in a brief statement to reporters. "This is a victory of the principles of which our Indian people uphold," she said flashing the victory sign to her supporters.
Her candidacy was dogged by unprecedented mudslinging from the moment it was agreed upon by coalition members, marring the usually genteel process of presidential elections.
Hundreds of delighted Congress supporters danced in the streets as the results were announced, banging drums and setting off firecrackers outside her home in New Delhi and in her hometown in the state of Maharashtra.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Sonia Gandhi — the head of the Congress party — were among the first to visit her home to congratulate her. She will be sworn in for a five-year term as India's 13th president on July 25.
The election of a woman to the largely ceremonial post continues an Indian tradition using the presidency to bolster disadvantaged communities.
Hindu-majority India has had three Muslim presidents, including incumbent A. P. J. Abdul Kalam, since winning independence from Britain in 1947. It has also had a president from the minority Sikh community, and Kalam's predecessor, K. R. Narayanan, came from the bottom of the society's complex social hierarchy.
While India has had several women in positions of power — most notably Indira Gandhi, who was elected to the more powerful position of prime minister in 1966, and her daughter-in-law, Sonia Gandhi— many women still face rampant discrimination.
Many Indian families regard daughters as a liability due to a tradition requiring a bride's family to pay a groom's family a large dowry of cash and gifts. As a consequence their education is often neglected, and many don't get adequate medical treatment when ill.
International groups estimate that some 10 million female fetuses have been aborted in the country over the last two decades.
It was not clear how much impact Patil will have as president.
Opponents derided her nomination, saying she lacked the national stature for the job and her only qualification was her unswerving loyalty to the powerful Gandhi family.
Her emergence onto the national stage also highlighted several scandals involving family members, two of who are under investigation by police.
And her comments ahead of the election calling on Indian women to abandon wearing headscarves was roundly denounced by Muslim leaders and by historians — who disputed her assertion that women only started wearing them in India to save themselves from 16th century Muslim invaders.
The nomination of Patil also surprised many, given her lack of national recognition despite more than four decades in politics.
Patil was a lawyer before she joined politics and became a member of the state legislature in 1962. She was appointed a minister several times in the Maharashtra state government between 1962 and 1985. In the following decade, she served as a member of Indian Parliament.
Her most recent post was as governor of the northern state of Rajasthan.

In this paper, estimates of value for recreational fishing are reported for three major freshwater impoundments in Queensland, Australia, using both travel cost and contingent valuation methods. Policy analysts often require estimates of value when analysing the importance of recreation against other uses of impoundments, or when considering the potential for further investments, such as with fish stocking programs. Different forms of the travel cost method are used to estimate separate consumer surpluses associated with two key subgroups of recreational anglers: frequent and occasional anglers. A contingent valuation study is used to estimate the marginal values associated with a potential improvement in fishing experience. The results of the travel cost analysis provide strong evidence that recreational values vary between different groups of anglers and across sites, while the contingent valuation estimates provide values for additional marginal benefits of recreational angling.

YOU ARE THE MAN! That fixed it. Thanks for the guide.
I still get the same result. I upgraded USB loader GX and result is the same (black screen and after 10 sec reboot) and with NeoGamma error No DVD.
I also reformated external HDD, making sure its primaryand active. Still the same problem. Used another tutorial as well (Get a cIOS on 4.2 Wii) , went all fine but still no games :( .
i wonder is there anybody with the same problem, since i googled and searched here a lot and i couldnt find anything.
Please guys, help me out here
When NeoGamma loads-does the screen report using IOS249rev14 or something else?
For USB-try plugging in the HDD after the Wii has fully booted up and see if you still have that problem.
I'm going to start using this guide tomorrow.
But I'd like to ask in advance if I can use a standard 3.5" HDD in a powered external caddy or do I need to use what everyone else seems to be using, a dedicated 2.5" USB powered HDD ?
HI Gen3sf,
Q:Can NeoGamma recognize when you actually have a disc in the drive? Can NeoGamma actually load a game disc?
- Up to this point i have only one burned DVD-R game, once i choose "load game from DVD", and choose "launch game", i do get:
language: default
Force video: Wii
patch video: More
VIDTV patch:no
Game ID:RZTPO1
Once i push A button, i get green screen, and Wii freezes (this is once i choose NTSC 480i in force video, if i choose NTSC480p i get blue screen and Wii freezes if i choose PAL480i, PAL480p, PAL576, Wii just reboots, if i choose DISC, Wii reboots). One of the problems, as you can see, is that i didnt pay attention on PAL/NTSC while i was downloading/burning dvd, i just wanted to test everything so i can give you as much info as i can.
So i guess we can narrow the problem somewhat :)
Q:When NeoGamma loads-does the screen report using IOS249rev14 or something else?
-NeoGamma R7. IOS249 (Rev 14)
Thank you very much for this tutorial.
I've got my games playing OK, but I keep getting random freeze ups on any game I play.
(Mario Kart - PAL, WII Fit Plus - PAL) , plus a few NTSC games too, on a PAL Wii.
Either the picture freezes or the sound goes into a loop with the picture freeze.
I'm using a 3.5" HDD in a powered caddy, but I'm not sure if that's the problem or if the loaders fault.
(I've tried the USB Loader Ultimate, but that doesn't have at option to fix 002 errors, which I get if I use that loader).
Can anyone offer any advice, maybe my loaders setting are wrong ?
I've tested a 2 HDD's, one isn't recognised, but the one I'm using obviuosly is.
By a powered caddy, are you saying that you have an internal HDD that has been placed in an enclosure? If so, this combination does cause more problems due to the different power setups used for HDDs intended for PC use. A PAL game played on a PAL Wii should not have the freezing problem you report-was this ripped from the orignal disc or from an ISO download?
problems are more understandable for an NTSC game; not all out-of-region games can be played flawlessly-you can check for the effects of changing the loader's region/video settings.
If you look, you will see that Wii Sports Resort has a lot of threads and posts. Don't choose a game that is hard to play from a backup.

Our take on the Canon VIXIA Mini Compact Personal Camcorder by Crutchfield's Woody Sherman
The Canon VIXIA Mini compact personal camcorder has its own kickstand for easy and stable placement.
Your life, set to "share"
If it were legitimate to call something a "life-sharing device," then this video camera would almost certainly qualify. Everything about the design of this affordable video camera is made for documenting a life on the go. From the moment you slip it into a shirt pocket, you'll be equipped to clue friends and family in on what you're doing — or, by leaving it on your mantle propped on its built-in kickstand, look in on the family pets while you're away for the day.
Built-in Wi-Fi® just adds to the free-wheeling immediacy this camera allows. Upload your own personal blog observations on the spur of the moment. Share files wirelessly to your computer for future editing. Or post your clips almost anywhere via your Wi-Fi-equipped smartphone or tablet with Canon's free Movie Uploader app.
Touch and go
Operating the Canon VIXIA Mini will feel pretty familiar: simply tap it and swipe on the 2.7-inch touchscreen as you would on a typical tablet or smartphone. Scroll through captured images with a swipe; tap on the menu items you wish to select. The screen can be angled and flipped, so you can have it pointing any way you wish. You can even mount the camera upside down to capture the scenes you need — the camera will invert the shot internally. So you'll be able to suspend the camera from the ceiling if you need to.
It gets the big picture
And you might need to, if you're using this camera to its full potential. The fast "fisheye" f/2.8 lens is designed to gather the full scope of your surroundings and record them in clear, vibrant high-definition. The lens pulls in a panoramic 170° field of view when taking stills, and a 160° FOV while capturing video. Plus, there's a centered, zoomed-in mode, for those times when you need a closer, more traditional view of the world around you.

In the close up view, the number of effective megapixels decreases from 8.99 to 2.07 for video and from 12.0 to 2.76 for photos. The camcorder uses a deep focusing system (pan focus) with a range of 1.3' to infinity.

the make-up girl reminds me of the "french toast" chick from the 40-year old virgin
There she is... 33 apparently!
That makeup girl is SO hot. And the shyness makes this thing even sexier. Bonertime.
best vid. so real. the porn star so sexy.. the make up girl so cute.. the other same vid is first lesbian-devin
yeah good call it is leigh charles and i think the other girl is actually named sam they are both on herfirstlesbiansex.com multiple times
Naw that shyt was to real seriously
Wow, this is truly the best lesbian video i've ever seen! She is so hot and shy
too bad its fake :( In the beginning they say that the make-up girl's name is samantha and at the end the camera guy says katy and she doesn't even recognizes her own name wtf?
Charlie..eat a dick, and fucking DIE! why is that tool allowed to be in the same room?
this is obvi not real... its a scene, well acted scene
fucken amazing ......i wanna lick those lips
i love that all
This is worth the wait it is a very hot video
excelente video
So...I LOVE these First Lesbian videos... 1)The make-up chick most likely isn't 19; 2)The accent of the porn girl was very fake; ...BUT,I LOVE THIS VIDEO,NONETHELESS! The acting was very good,and the video is brilliant! Thank you. P.S. If you like this kind of videos,go for Her Lesbian Experience,there's a couple of them here on Spankwire. Enjoy!
what a pathetic display of bullshit acting.....so timid....fuck off. 1,619,487 views.....why?? like watching timid idiots attempting to have sex. Idiotic at best
pretty woman!
O.M.G out of this world and into the next, they were amazing x
very sexy, pussy cat. saucer of milk for two..
This video is so good that I don't think I can enjoy other porn tha same way anymore.
Holy fuck! I lost it about halfway through it! I don't even want to finish it, it's so fucking good. Thank God someone caught this on film. I really don't think I would have been able to film it without getting naked! lol
Best acting I've ever seen in a porno ever. (Full stop fully intended). Double thumbs up
HOT!! Damn!
if porn was rap this video would be tupac
Love it!
holly shiit
amazing vid
Normally I don't go much for lesbian porn. It's too stagy. The women never seem like they're having a good time. Too many titillating glances at the camera; makes it seem like they're having a hard time paying attention to, you know, the sex. I wish other directors would take their cue from this vid. Far and away the hottest lesbian vid I've ever seen.
HOT but less talking would be better
Wow. Best lesbian scene since Tory Lane & Sandra Shine.
Wow..that was..that had to be real. Too amazing
anyone know if the brittish girl has done any other scene?
HOT me want to fuck both girls 100/5
I saw this a few years ago. It is GOLD! So hot.
That was fucking AWESOME! One of the best lesbian sex scenes I've ever seen, period. And we're talking about a guy that has probably 80GB of lesbian porn on his PC. This scene is definitely in my top ten. I don't recognize the makeup girl but if she's a pro, well then she should consider a regular movie career because she's a damn good actress. The other chick is Leigh Charles and her accent is real, she's from Manchester UK.
Thats too bad I liked this vid
why doesnt it work????
Anyone have a link for this vid?
My favortie vid of all time. Best acting I have ever seen. Give the make up girl a fucking oscar!
Wow! It was like watching Sarah Jessica Parker get lesbianized! Fucking great, real or not. Would assume it's not, but great acting for a porno if that's the case.
that was the hottest..thing...ever.
Gorgeous, whats the name of these girls!?
I think the girl with the accent is Leigh Charles
I agree, if this is an act, it's the best I have seen so far... and probably will see for a very long time... but I have to believe it's real... god they are cute together...
if this is just an act, it might be the best act I've ever seen in porn. If it's real, it's even more amazing! Anyone know the names of either of the girls?
Who's the pornstar? She is so freaking gorgeous! I so hope that this is real!
Fucking amazing
the pornstars voice is annoying, that accent turned me off
wow u have to get through like 14 min of bullshit b4 they start to kiss..but when they do holly shiit....
love it... the make up girl is so cute... i love her inoscence
