We are your New York City Team Building Specialists
Not in New York City? Team building activities near you
Teamwork is a skill, and like any skill it can be improved and developed with training and practice. The best teams are those who know their individual strengths and weaknesses, and are able to overcome them to become more productive.
Companies in New York City trust our group activities to help their teams master the foundations of good teamwork.
There are three foundations of teamwork that are the building blocks of working cohesively together in a group.
At the core of every team is its leader, and the team's trust in that leader. The best leaders can drive their team towards a common goal, and help overcome obstacles along the way. Without trust and leadership, teammates will inevitably start to go off in separate directions.
Our popular business simulation, Cardboard Boat Building Challenge, is a great way to improve and develop your team's leadership and encourage their teamwork. As teams work together to build boats out of cardboard, they'll find they need strong leadership and trust in each other to succeed in the water.
Anyone who has ever played a game of "Telephone" knows how important communication is. Teamwork depends on individuals having a clear understanding of their roles and how they fit into the big picture.
We put the focus on communication in activities like Going Live, where teams need to develop a three-minute news broadcast. Every person on the team is assigned a specific role on the news team, and their success depends on being able to communicate ideas and last-minute changes to each other when it comes time to broadcast.
The true test of teamwork comes when things go wrong – budgets change, team members leave, or deadlines advance. Adaptability is the third foundation of teamwork, because only well-functioning teams are equipped to handle these types of unexpected challenges.
You can make adaptability a priority with our race-style activities like The Amazing Chase. Have your teams compete in a race through New York City and learn to deal with the curveballs that come at "Road Block" and "Detour" challenges. By the end of the race, your teams will be ready for anything!
You can partner with us on an event that you run yourself, or we can come in to take care of every detail. New York City Team Building is trusted for fast, flexible, and fun solutions that help improve teamwork and build stronger bonds. Our variety of activities cover a range of budgets and team building goals.
Get in touch with us at 1-877-713-7238 or [email protected] to speak more in-depth about what you're looking for and start planning your next group activity. We work with groups of all sizes, from five to 5,000, and we can tailor any activity to meet your specific needs.

When we left Lancaster on Thursday there was still a 12 inch thick blanket of snow covering the ground. Upon our return, I was happy to find all of that snow had been washed away by a rainy Christmas weekend. It's so pretty when it first falls, but quickly becomes a big slushy mess. I know we're in for a few more months of cold weather, and surprisingly, I'm still OK with that notion. Ask me again in February and I might have a different story though.
I haven't even started thinking about spring yet, but when I ran across this collection from Papercup I got this slightest yearning for warmer weather. I'm definitely filing this away for a rainy spring day. I think I just got my first glimpse of what I want my warm weather wardrobe to look like.

My main iTunes library was in the process of uploading to iTunes Match when I enabled iTunes Match on iTunes on another computer. I got a message saying that only one computer at a time could upload to iTunes Match, and because there were only a handful of items in my library on my secondary computer, I decided to interrupt the upload on the primary computer and quickly do the match on the secondary computer.
Unfortunately, once I did that, the "iTunes Match" sidebar item disappeared from the primary computer, and going into "iTunes Match in the "iTunes Store" just shows a page describing what I can do with iTunes Match.
How do I get my primary computer to resume the upload process?

Nedleh point was discovered forty years ago. A place of military importance, being situated at the crossroad of two of the largest empires and the Stoneguard, also dangerously close to the Orc held territories. Nedleh point, due to it's before mentioned situation, has served as a trading post, and has some of the best wares in all the south-western regions. The rock of Nedleh is a rare phenomenon
that can happen only with special types of floating rocks. From rocks that spawn to life, to rocks that float through the clouds, the "Lapis volat banalis" is a species of rock that floats only after all water dries out of it. In this special case, the rock
has been trying to escape, but due to the tide, it never gets to completely dry out, thus creating the elongated shape. The same phenomenon has been found elswere, but none are as inhabitable as this. Geologists and mages alike have clarified that there is no
danger of the rock collapsing. Updated with a better lighted picture, but the quality of the camera still drags it down:

Sorry for the grainy pics, taking pictures late in the day is not a good idea. This moc has used up all my dark blay and all my blue pieces, and is pretty much the largest and heaviest moc I ever built. Thanks for watching.

Brandeis men's basketball team lands sixth seed
Judges travel to Keene State College for opening roundThe Brandeis University men's basketball team has earned a berth in the Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) Division III New England championship tournament. The Judges, who finished the 2010-2011 regular season with a record of 16-9, are the sixth seed and will travel to third-seeded Keene State College (17-10) on Wednesday, March 2, at 7 p.m.
Brandeis, in its eighth season under head coach Brian Meehan, opened its season with 11 straight wins, the best start in school history. The Judges had two dramatic buzzer-beating wins in the streak, topping Clark University on Nov. 30, 67-65 in overtime thanks to a length-of-the-court drive by junior guard Tyrone Hughes of Dorchester, Mass., and a 61-59 win on Jan. 8 over New York University on a three-pointer from the corner by rookie Derek Retos of No. Attleboro, Mass. That victory tied the Judges' previous record for best start at 10-0, and they defeated Bates College, 53-50, next time out to set the mark. The Judges, who were ranked as high as No. 13 in the nation, went 5-9 the rest of the way, however, finishing fifth in the University Athletic Association with a 6-8 conference mark.
The Judges are paced by rookie forward Youri Dascy of Fall River, Mass., who averages 10.0 points and 4.8 rebounds per game. Dascy led the UAA in field-goal percentage, hitting 63.0 percent from the field. Senior Christian Yemga of Yaounde, Cameroon, the only senior on the squad, led the team in rebounding at 5.8 boards per game, while Hughes's 4.8 assists per game are third in the UAA. As a team, Brandeis is 34th nationally in Division III in three-point percentage (38.2 percent) and 55th in scoring defense (63.9 ppg allowed).
Brandeis, which had been to the past four NCAA tournaments, will be making its first ECAC tournament appearance since 1995. The Judges also appeared in the ECAC tournament in 1974, 1991 and 1992, winning the '92 crown.
Keene State finished with a 17-10 record, 8-6 in the Little East Conference. The Owls boast the 10th-highest scoring average in the nation, pouring in 85.7 points per game. Sophomore Ryan Martin of Wayne, Maine averages 14.9 points per game and leads Division III in free-throw percentage (97.0 percent), while junior Derek D'Amours of Agawam, Mass., averages 13.8 ppg. Sophomore Rashad Wright of Agawam, Mass., tops KSC with 6.6 rebounds per game.
This will be the first-ever meeting between Brandeis and Keene State. The teams have three common opponents this season, with each posting wins over Tufts and Lasell. Against UMass-Dartmouth, Brandeis garnered a 71-69 victory in the fourth game of the season, while Keene State lost both regular-season meetings with the Corsairs before prevailing, 96-88 in overtime in the LEC conference tournament.
The rest Wednesday's ECAC quarterfinals feature top-seeded Eastern Connecticut State (19-9) taking on No. 8 Regis College (15-11); No. 2 seed Anna Maria College (18-9) playing host to No. 7 Mass. College of Liberal Arts (16-9); and No. 4 Albertus Magnus College (17-10) facing No. 5 Wentworth Institute of Technology (18-10). The winners will meet on Saturday and Sunday, March 5 and 6, at the highest remaining seed.

South Asian Studies
South Asian Studies Director: Jennifer Ortegren (Religon)
Robert A. Jones '59 House B01 - Telephone: 802-443-5638
Email: email@example.com
What is South Asian Studies? We have all heard the clichés: colorful cultures, ancient civilizations, extremes of wealth and poverty. And we have all read the news headlines: renewed Indo-Pakistan tensions, the rise of outsourcing centers, the prominence of the South Asian diaspora. The South Asian Studies program will take you beyond the clichés and the headlines by providing a broad introduction to the region and a focus on one or more of the region's issues or countries (with an emphasis on Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka). In Middlebury learn about the region's art, history, literature, politics, and religions. Then study in India on Middlebury's own program, learn Hindi, and discover what lies behind the clichés or what never makes it to the headlines.
As a South Asian Studies major you will begin a language, study abroad for at least a semester, take 5 regional and 3 global courses, IGST 0101, and a senior seminar. The program recommends you attend the Middlebury C.V. Starr Schools Abroad in India, which is based in Delhi one of the oldest capital cities in the world and home to some 15 million people today. Students in this program will either be enrolled at St. Stephen's College or at Lady Shri Ram College for Women (just for the ladies), two of the finest institutions in India. While the college classes are conducted in English, students also take instruction in Hindi.
When you graduate you will have a deep knowledge of the region, a familiarity with a South Asian country from having lived there for four months or longer, at least beginning-level language skills, and an understanding of the global forces that tie South Asia to the rest of the world.
Sample course about the region include:
- HIST 0110 Modern South Asia
- HARC 0227 Indian Painting
- RELI 0121 Buddhist Traditions in India
- RELI 0140 Hindu Traditions of India

WALNUT CREEK — A man shot Sunday night inside his car following a Concord Pavilion concert remained in critical condition Monday afternoon, said police, who were still searching for the shooter.
The female driver was treated for her injuries and released from the hospital, according to police. The names and ages of the victims were not released.
Shortly before 8 p.m. Sunday, witnesses said both the suspect and victims were driving their cars west on Ygnacio Valley Road, approaching a red light at Oak Grove Road, when the suspect pulled up next to the victims' car and fired into the front passenger seat.
The suspect then got out of his car and fired several times into the white, four-door Mercedes, striking both people, police said. The suspect drove north on Oak Grove Road toward Concord, police said.
The suspect was described as a black man in his early to mid-20s, about 6 feet to 6 feet, 2 inches tall with a medium build and wearing a black three-hole mask, a T-shirt and blue jeans. Police said he was armed with a semi-automatic handgun and was driving a light-colored, four-door sedan, possibly a Honda.
The victims had just left the pavilion, where KBLX's Stone Soul Concert featured Gladys Knight, The O'Jays, Freddie Jackson, Faith Evans and the S.O.S. Band, according to the venue's website.
Police said they did not yet know whether the suspect and the victims got into a fight at the concert or in the parking lot before the shooting, or whether the incident was provoked by road rage.
"We're looking at all angles, including that it was a random shooting," said Lt. Lanny Edwards, with the Walnut Creek Police Department. "We are still looking for witnesses who may have been there when the incident occurred."
Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to call the Walnut Creek Police Department at 925-943-5844.
Staff writers Rebecca Parr and Karina Ioffee contributed to this report.

Hot Hitter: Seth Loman
Over his last 7 games Seth Loman is hitting a robust .407 for the Dash with 3 home runs, 2 doubles and a 1.250 OPS. Between two levels this year Loman is hitting .296 with 18 home runs and a .931 OPS. Loman's attitude has been questioned in the past and supposedly that is why the Angels let him go but he can really hit. Hopefully we see him in a more age appropriate league next season so we can find out if he's a legitimate prospect or not.

After two years of research over five degraded landscapes in the National Park of Sierra Nevada (Granada), scientists have established for the first time that field mice base their diet on holm oak and pine seeds, causing a deterioration of the habitats and an extension of scrubland in the forests.
The trees in the forests such as the holm oaks, rowans and pines have unexpected predators which are impeding their expansion over the mountains. In 98.5% of cases it is field mice and other rodents which eat a large proportion of the seeds which have been scattered before they are able to germinate.
Luis Matías is the main author of the work and a researcher for the Land Ecology Research Group at the University of Granada. "If the choice of the seeds they eat is not random, in other words, they eat the seeds of a determined species more often, this will be reflected in a greater emergence of seedlings among those species which are eaten less, which could alter the structure of the plant community", he told SINC.
Between 2004 and 2005, the research team exposed the seeds of six species to the predators and analyzed the numbers which were eaten. "Some species were ravaged much more than others, and this selection pattern was maintained in the different habitats throughout the two years of study", explained Matías.
The new research, recently published in Plant Ecology, shows that this phenomenon is constant in time and in the different landscapes and habitats. In this sense, according to the researchers, "the species which undergo the highest rate of depredation are the dominant arboreal species (the pine, holm oak and rowan), while the scrubland species suffer much less consumption".
Pine and holm oak seeds, the favourite food
The rodents prefer the seeds from the holm oak, quercus ilex, of which a total of 77.4% are eaten, the pine, pinus sylvestris, (73.3%), and the rowan, sorbus aria, (69.2%). The mice prefer the seeds of these particular trees to those of the scrubland owing to their components, as those from the holm oak contain a high percentage of lipids.
As a result of eating fewer scrubland seeds, the rodents encourage the formation of a plant structure dominated by scrubland. "Curiously, it is the scrubland where the rodents are most abundant, as they find food and shelter from their predators there", the scientist clarified. In other words, the seed predators favour the habitat which is most propitious for them.
However, the scientists conclude that longer experiments are required because "the uses of the soil and the selection of food by the rodents may vary from year to year, depending on the availability of food resources, the abundance of rodents and their predators and the climatic conditions".

1 lb raw shrimp, peeled
5 cups chicken stock
2 cups Arborio rice
2 cups hot water
2/3 cup parmesan
8 oz sliced fresh mushrooms
3/4 oz dried porcini mushrooms
4 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
1 shallot, minced
In a medium bowl, soak the porcini mushrooms in the hot water. After 30 minutes, strain the porcini mushrooms into a small bowl, reserving liquid. Wash and chop the porcini mushrooms and return them to the mushroom liquid and set aside. In a saucepan bring the chicken broth to a boil then reduce heat and continue to simmer. Meanwhile, in a large saucepan sauté the shallot and sliced mushrooms in 2 tablespoons of olive oil and the butter. Sauté until the mushrooms release their liquid and add shrimp. Cook until the shrimp is pink, then transfer the sliced mushrooms and the shrimp to a clean bowl and cover. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the pan that just held the sliced mushrooms and shrimp. Add the rice and sauté for 2-3 minutes, stirring continually. Add 1/2 of the reserved mushroom liquid, turn the heat up to high and stir continuously until liquid is absorbed. Add the remainder of the mushroom liquid, and stir continuously until the liquid is absorbed. Add the broth a 1/2 cup at a time, stirring continuously, and waiting until the liquid is absorbed before each addition. This will take about 20 minutes total. When the risotto is cream and the rice is al dente, add the shrimp and sliced mushrooms and stir until absorbed. Remove from heat and stir in the parmesan.

New York, September 10, 2012--Indian authorities should immediately drop all of the charges against cartoonist Aseem Trivedi and release him from detention, the Committee to Protect Journalists said today.
Police in Maharashtra state arrested Trivedi, a 25-year-old freelancer from India's central Uttar Pradesh state, on Saturday, according to news reports. The cartoonist faces charges of sedition, violating Internet security laws, and insulting national honor for publishing cartoons mocking national symbols and criticizing corruption on his website, Cartoons Against Corruption, news reports said.
Trivedi has refused to apply for bail as an act of protest against the sedition charge, Alok Dixit, Trivedi's friend and founder of the Internet freedom campaign Save Your Voice, told CPJ by email. A Mumbai court ordered that the cartoonist be held until September 24, but a trial date has not yet been set, news reports said. It is not clear what total penalties Trivedi could face if found guilty.
"Criminalizing Aseem Trivedi's efforts to highlight the serious problem of corruption is a perverse exercise of power and runs completely counter to India's democratic principles," said Bob Dietz, CPJ's Asia program coordinator. "Authorities in Maharashtra must release Trivedi immediately and halt their obstruction of his work."
The charges against Trivedi stem from a December 2011 complaint from a lawyer in Mumbai, who said he was acting on his own, according to news reports. The cartoonist's website was subsequently blocked by Web-hosting service Big Rock, news reports said.
On August 30, eight months after the complaint was filed, police took an arrest warrant to Trivedi's Uttar Pradesh residence, according to Dixit. The cartoonist was not home at the time, Dixit told CPJ.
The reason for the delayed arrest is not clear. Dixit told CPJ that police said that Trivedi had "abscond[ed] for the past eight months," but, he said, Trivedi "was running a campaign, talking to media, available on Facebook, Twitter, everywhere."
The cartoonist surrendered in Mumbai on Saturday, according to Dixit.
Sedition charges have been used in reprisal against Indian journalists in the past, according to CPJ research. "If telling the truth makes one a traitor, then I am happy," Trivedi said outside the court, according to the U.K. daily Independent.
Trivedi's arrest comes in the wake of a national debate on Internet security as authorities tried to curb religious unrest by censoring online content. Internet freedom activists in India are concerned that government regulations to manage the nation's growing online communities could be used to suppress dissent.

Race and related grounds
Under the Code, every person has the right to be free from racial discrimination and harassment in the social areas of employment, services, goods, facilities, housing accommodation, contracts and membership in trade and vocational associations. You should not be treated differently because of your race or other related grounds, such as your ancestry, ethnicity, religion or place of origin.
Canada, its provinces and territories have strong human rights laws and systems in place to address discrimination. At the same time, we also have a legacy of racism – particularly towards Indigenous persons, but to other groups as well including African, Chinese, Japanese, South Asian, Jewish and Muslim Canadians – a legacy that profoundly permeates our systems and structures to this day, affecting the lives of not only racialized persons, but also all people in Canada.
Relevant policies:
- Check if your spelling is correct, or try removing filters.
- Remove quotes around phrases to match each word individually: "blue drop" will match less than blue drop.
- You can require or exclude terms using + and -: big +blue drop will require a match on blue while big blue -drop will exclude results that contain drop.

A Chinese FBC-1 fighter jet plane was performing at an air show until things went horrifically wrong. The fighter jet started spiralling out of control and then plunged straight down, crashing into the ground and exploding on impact.
In the video above, you can see a pilot eject from his seat just in the nick of time. He only suffered minor injuries. Sadly, the FBC-1 is a two-seater jet and the other pilot was stuck inside the cockpit as the fighter jet lost control. The China state-run Xinhua news says that the other pilot is currently missing.

Install bundled 32-bit system in 64-bit system
Template:I18n links start Template:I18n entry Template:I18n entry Template:I18n entry Template:I18n entry Template:I18n links end
This article is for those who really need to run 32-bit applications with easy installation. As Arch64 tries to be a pure 64-bit distribution, it is likely the developers will not provide any compatibility libraries, so this system seems to be the cleaner solution.
Before proceeding:
- Note that this script's author is not an expert so there may be errors.
- This script also does not change anything outside the 32-bit directory. However, you will be creating hard links to your base system's configuration files and also mounting your home and other directories inside the 32-bit install directory. Thus, mistaken settings in the linked configuration files or carelessly removing all or part of the locally mounted directories can inflict catastrophic damage to your base system.
- If you have a custom kernel configuration, you need to make sure that this option is set: Template:Codeline. Otherwise, your 64-bit kernel will not be able to access your 32-bit chroot environment. The stock Arch64 kernels generally have this set properly by default.
- 1 Install the base 32-bit system
- 2 /etc/rc.d/arch32 rc script
- 3 Configure the new system
- 4 Executing 32-bit applications from a 64-bit environment
- 5 Trouble-shooting
- 6 Tips and tricks
- 7 Build 32-bit packages in a 64-bit environment
Install the base 32-bit system
1. Create the repository:
mkdir /opt/arch32
2. Generate temporary pacman configuration files for the new repository:
sed -e 's/x86\_64/i686/g' /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist > /opt/arch32/mirrorlist sed -e 's@/etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist@/opt/arch32/mirrorlist@g' /etc/pacman.conf > /opt/arch32/pacman.conf
These files would conflict with the normal pacman files, which will be installed in the later steps. For this reason they must be put into a temporary location (Template:Filename is used here). Once you have finished installing the new system and are ready to run pacman under the chroot environment, you can remove them.
As soon as you use the Template:Codeline switch in the pacman command below, files Template:Filename and Template:Filename will be created inside Template:Filename. The pacman log will be Template:Filename and will not interfere with your 64-bit installation. There is no need for a Template:Codeline directive in Template:Filename or a Template:Codeline switch unless you want the log file to be elsewhere.
The Template:Codeline switch is for the package to be cached in the Template:Filename directory instead of Template:Filename.
Use the Template:Codeline switch to tell pacman to use the configuration file ganerated above, rather than Template:Filename.
3. Create the directory, just to be sure:
mkdir -p /opt/arch32/var/{cache/pacman/pkg,lib/pacman}
3b. Edit 'Architecture' for pacman >= 3.4
# In /opt/arch32/pacman.conf # Architecture=auto Architecture=i686
4. Now proceed to sync pacman:
pacman --root /opt/arch32 --cachedir /opt/arch32/var/cache/pacman/pkg --config /opt/arch32/pacman.conf -Sy
5. Install the base packages:
pacman --root /opt/arch32 --cachedir /opt/arch32/var/cache/pacman/pkg --config /opt/arch32/pacman.conf -S base base-devel
If you do not intend to compile packages inside this chroot, you can omit the base-devel group:
pacman --root /opt/arch32 --cachedir /opt/arch32/var/cache/pacman/pkg --config /opt/arch32/pacman.conf -S base
You can now optionally remove the temporary pacman configuration files. If you keep these file there, you will be able to run pacman in the base 64-bit system to manage the packages in the 32-bit repository.
rm /opt/arch32/{mirrorlist,pacman.conf}
To use the newly installed pacman, you need to uncomment some mirrors in /opt/arch32/etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist, and make any other desired changes to the new pacman installation.
Alternative lightweight install
The install method above will install a lot of packages which are not necessary in a 32-bit sub-system. Actually, the pacman package itself is not necessary -- you can always use the 64-bit version instead. This new method can help you install a smaller sub-system.
Start with the 32-bit repository:
mkdir /opt/arch32
And then the pacman configuration files. However, unlike in the previous method, these files should not be removed:
sed -e 's/x86\_64/i686/g' /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist > /opt/arch32/mirrorlist sed -e 's@/etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist@/opt/arch32/mirrorlist@g' /etc/pacman.conf > /opt/arch32/pacman.conf
Create necessary directories for the new system. Note that Template:Filename is required here because you are not going to install dbus in the sub-system, and you would still want to access the 64-bit dbus in your 32-bit subsystem.
mkdir -p /opt/arch32/var/{cache/pacman/pkg,lib/pacman,lib/dbus}
Create an alias for pacman32, the command to be used to install 32-bit packages. Just add the following line to your ~/.bashrc or similar:
alias pacman32="pacman --root /opt/arch32 --cachedir /opt/arch32/var/cache/pacman/pkg --config /opt/arch32/pacman.conf"
Sync pacman32:
pacman32 -Sy
Install basic packages for 32-bit subsystem. These are the minimal packages that allow you to chroot to the subsystem and run Template:Codeline script for i18n.
pacman32 -S filesystem licenses bash sed coreutils gzip
Now you are ready for the following steps. Remember that you should replace all pacman commands required to run the chroot environment with pacman32 under the 64-bit system.
/etc/rc.d/arch32 rc script
To initiate the 32-bit environment at startup, create a script in Template:Filename called Template:Filename:
#!/bin/bash . /etc/rc.conf . /etc/rc.d/functions dirs=(/proc /proc/bus/usb /dev /dev/pts /dev/shm /sys /tmp /home) case $1 in start) stat_busy "Starting Arch32 chroot" for d in "${dirs[@]}"; do mount --bind $d /opt/arch32/$d done add_daemon arch32 stat_done ;; stop) stat_busy "Stopping Arch32 chroot" for (( i = ${#dirs[@]} - 1; i >= 0; i-- )); do umount "/opt/arch32${dirs[i]}" done rm_daemon arch32 stat_done ;; restart) $0 stop sleep 1 $0 start ;; *) echo "usage: $0 {start|stop|restart}" esac exit 0
Then allow execution of the script:
chmod +x /etc/rc.d/arch32
And add it to Template:Filename:
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng network netfs arch32 crond)
Configure the new system
First, copy important configuration files:
cd /opt/arch32/etc ln -f /etc/passwd* . ln -f /etc/shadow* . ln -f /etc/group* . ln -f /etc/sudoers . # note: you'll need to install sudo before creating this entry, or sudo will refuse to install ln -f /etc/rc.conf . ln -f /etc/resolv.conf . ln -f /etc/localtime . ln -f /etc/locale.gen . ln -f /etc/profile.d/locale.sh profile.d cp /etc/vimrc . cp /etc/mtab .
Be sure to include the "." character.
Now chroot into your new system:
/etc/rc.d/arch32 start xhost +SI:localuser:usernametogiveaccesstogoeshere chroot /opt/arch32
It is recommend that you use a custom bash prompt inside the 32-bit chroot installation in order to differentiate from the regular system. You can, for example, add a ARCH32 string to the PS1 variable defined in Template:Filename. In fact, the default Debian .bashrc prompt string contains appropriate logic to report whether the working directory is within a chroot.
Before continuing, keep in mind that the file Template:Filename from the 32-bit environment is the default one. If you have not yet uncommented some mirrors in "/etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist", you must do so, or pacman will fail with an unexpected error.
Fix possible locale issues:
/usr/sbin/locale-gen pacman -S ttf-bitstream-vera ttf-ms-fonts
You can install any other font. You just need one or your applications will not display any text.
Now you can install any applications you need:
pacman -S acroread opera pacman -S firefox pacman -S flashplugin pacman -S mplayer-plugin
You can also clean up to regain space by removing some unnecessary packages. This cleanup is for your 32-bit root environment and must then be done inside it. Below is a list of packages you might want to remove:
pacman -Rd mkinitcpio pacman -R kernel26 \ grub \ dhcpcd \ rp-pppoe \ ppp \ xfsprogs \ reiserfsprogs \ jfsutils \ hdparm \ hwdetect \ syslog-ng \ logrotate \ lvm2 \ dcron \ wpa_supplicant \ pcmciautils
Also consider regularly clearing out pacman's cache:
pacman -Sc
Executing 32-bit applications from a 64-bit environment
Install "schroot" to your 64-bit installation:
pacman -S schroot
Schroot is already configured for Arch32 chroot, so you should just check Template:Filename, section [Arch32], to check if it matches your configuration. You will also want to edit Template:Filename to match the mounts you created within Template:Filename, because applications run through schroot will not be able to see mounts not listed in Template:Filename.
Finally, to use your 32-bit applicationss:
schroot -p -- opera
It will launch Opera from the 32-bit environment.
Here is a small program that substitutes the 64-bit version of Firefox. To use it you must paste it into geany (or another program than can compile it), save as Template:Filename and compile by pressing F9:
#include <iostream> #include <string> #include <cstdlib> using namespace std; int main(int argc, char **argv) { string temp="schroot -p firefox \""; string temp2="\""; if (argc>=2) temp+=+argv[1]; temp+=temp2; system(temp.c_str()); return 0; }
Now replace firefox binary file in Template:Filename with the compiled file. Change "3.0.1" to the appropriate version.
Java in a chroot
See Java for installation instructions.
After installing, adjust the path to get Java working:
export PATH="/opt/java/bin/:$PATH"
Compilation and installing
Ensure the desired options are set in the local Template:Filename.
Some packages may require a Template:Codeline flag be added to the ./configure script in the PKBUILD:
./configure --host="i686-pc-linux" ...
This is the case when the build makes use of values (for example, the output of the Template:Codeline command) inherited from your base system.
You may need to give users write access to your chroot's /dev/null to stop some scripts from failing:
chmod 666 /dev/null
Video issues
If you get:
X Error of failed request: BadLength (poly request too large or internal Xlib length error)
while trying to run an application that requires video acceleration, make sure you have installed appropriate video drivers in your chroot. For example,
pacman -S nvidia
Sound in flash (youtube, etc.)
To get sound from the flash player in Firefox, open a terminal and chroot inside the 32-bit system:
chroot /opt/arch32
From there, install alsa-oss:
pacman -S alsa-oss
Then type:
export FIREFOX_DSP="aoss"
Every chroot into the 32-bit system will require this export command to be entered so it may be best to incorporate it into a script.
Finally, launch Firefox.
For Wine this works the same way. The package alsa-oss will also install the alsa libs required by Wine to output sound.
Tips and tricks
Xyne has created a package that installs a minimalist 32-bit chroot as described above. More information can be found on the forum and on the project page.
Allowing 32-bit applications access to 64-bit Pulseaudio
Add these lines in Template:Filename, above Template:Codeline:
mount --bind /var/run /opt/arch32/var/run mount --bind /var/lib/dbus /opt/arch32/var/lib/dbus
And above Template:Codeline:
umount /opt/arch32/var/run umount /opt/arch32/var/lib/dbus
More information is available at the Pulseaudio article, especially the section on Pulseaudio from within a chroot.
Enabling sound in Firefox
Open a text editor and save the following in Template:Filename as root:
#!/bin/sh schroot -p firefox $1;export FIREFOX_DSP="aoss"
Make it executable:
sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/firefox32
Now you can make an alias for Firefox, if desired:
alias firefox="firefox32"
Add this to the end of file Template:Filename and source it to enable its usage. Or you can just change all your desktop environment's launchers to firefox32 if you still want 64-bit Firefox to be available.
Enabling 3D acceleration
In case you want to run any 32 bit application under your chroot with 3D acceleration (e.g. WINE, native 32 bit games) you simply need to install the corresponding libs as under your "native" arch.
For an ATI card using the radeon driver this could be:
pacman -S xf86-video-ati libgl ati-dri
For more informations on how to set up your graphic adapter refer to:
Your can easily check if you have 3D rendering within the 32 bit chroot by installing mesa and running the following command:
glxinfo | grep renderer
If you have no 3D acceleration you'll get some output like this:
[joe@arch64]$ OpenGL renderer string: Software Rasterizer
If 3D acceleration is enabled you'll get a message like this:
[joe@arch64]$ OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI R600 (RV730 9490) 20090101 x86/MMX+/3DNow!+/SSE2 TCL DRI2
Script for wine
In order to compile wine, you need a 32-bit system installed. Compiling wine is needed for applying patches in order to get PulseAudio working. See also wine-hacks from AUR.
Add the following alias to Template:Filename:
alias wine='schroot -pqd "$(pwd)" -- wine'
The Template:Codeline switch makes schroot operate in quiet mode, so it works like "regular" wine does. Also note that If you still use dchroot instead of schroot, you should use switch Template:Codeline instead of Template:Codeline.
Build 32-bit packages in a 64-bit environment
This example uses mkarchroot to create the chroot environment. First, create /opt/arch32 or another directory of your choice. The next steps is to copy your existing pacman.conf and makepkg.conf file to /opt/arch32 or your chosen directory. In the following tutorial, substitute /opt/arch32 with your chosen directory if you decide to use a different directory.
Note If you have customized either makepkg.conf or pacman.conf, then you will need to use the standard pacman.conf and makepkg.conf files. Also make sure your /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist contains the $arch variable instead of x86_64 or i686
Edit your /opt/arch32/pacman.conf
Change Architecture = auto to Architecture = i686
Edit /opt/arch32/makepkg.conf
Change CARCH="x86_64" to CARCH="i686" CHOST="x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu" to CHOST="i686-unknown-linux-gnu". CFLAGS="-march=x86_64 -mtune=generic -O2 -pipe" to CFLAGS="-march=i686 -mtune=generic -O2 -pipe" . CXXFLAGS="-march=x86_64 -mtune=generic -O2 -pipe" to CXXFLAGS="-march=i686 -mtune=generic -O2 -pipe" .
After the changes have been made, you will need to create another directory, I created /aur as mine.
Next run:
sudo mkarchroot -C /opt/arch32/pacman.conf -M /opt/arch32/makepkg.conf <chrootdir>/root base base-devel sudo
If you create the /aur directory like mine you would run
sudo mkarchroot -C /opt/arch32/pacman.conf -M /opt/arch32/makepkg.conf /aur/root base base-devel sudo
You will need to edit /aur/copy/etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist and select which mirrors to use.
Now you can use makechrootpkg to build i686 packages

Ever wonder what it's like to get nailed in the privates with a skateboard propelled by an exploding airbag? Wonder no more as this idiot has done it on video. Point and laugh, and hopefully learn.
This setup seems as if it could come straight from the future where Idiocracy's "Ow My Nuts" is a wildly popular fully syndicated television show. Why would anyone set a skateboard, sans trucks and wheel, over a charged airbag, straddle two chairs and then submit to the pounding that follows? We know this guy did, because he's an idiot.

Your eye works like a camera. A camera needs a lens to focus an image. But when the lens is dirty or cloudy, the camera can't take a good, clear picture.
It's the same with your eyes. Your eye lens focuses rays of light on the nerve tissue at the back of your eye (the retina). The retina then transmits a clear image to your brain. But when a cataract clouds your eye's lens, light rays don't pass through as well and the retina cannot transmit a good picture.
About one in six Americans age 40 and older will get a cataract. By age 80, more than half will have a cataract. Because everyone is different, some people may not notice a large change in their eyesight. Others will find it a challenge to enjoy even the simplest tasks and may find it harder and harder to stay independent.
Light passes through a normal eye
without anything blocking its way.
When the lens of your eye becomes cloudy,
the cataract prevents you from seeing clearly
by preventing enough light from passing through.

I attended the National Clean Energy Summit 4.0 in Las Vegas and had the chance to talk with the developers of one of the most ambitious renewable energy projects in the United States — the TransWest Express (TWE) Transmission & Sierra Madre Wind Energy Project led by Anschutz Corporation.
The proposed roughly $7-8 billion project would deliver wind power generated by 1,000 2-3 megawatt (MW) turbines located in the gusty and ironically named Carbon Country, Wyoming, via a new super DC (direct current) transmission line to a hub in southern Nevada. If successful, it would produce 9 million MWh's (megawatt-hours)* of zero-carbon, zero-pollution electricity per year — roughly enough to power the entire city of Los Angeles ... forever. No mining. No drilling. No pollution. Just clean energy from a free resource.
The cost per MWh (about $80) would be significantly lower than existing coal power (about $90) and that is without any federal or state renewable subsidies. So for those of your skeptical about my last post in which I posited that wind power would soon be cheaper than coal, this project makes it a reality.
DWE + Sierra Madre would also create as many as 18,000 jobs (12,688 in the wind farm and 5,000+ in the transmission project) helping the U.S. to regain its lost foothold in two important growth industries (wind power and next generation energy transmission) while capitalizing on what some are calling a renewable "Kuwait" for America — a pocket of Class 7-10 winds that are unrivaled in the world. The new transmission line would also help to bolster the stability of the entire western electric grid.
What a contrast with the Keystone XL pipeline! This proposed $7-8 billion project, expected to hit President Obama's desk soon for approval, would largely benefit one foreign company (TransCanada), forcing the U.S. to pay a premium for oil that no one else wants because it is so expensive and so "heavy," requiring much more refinement than typical oil.
It would criss-cross some of the most important waterways in North America, including the Missouri River and the Ogallala Aquifer (which supplies 30 percent of the nation's agricultural freshwater) putting millions of people in harm's way. Astonishingly, the State Department recently found no evidence of risk for the proposed project despite the fact that the first Keystone pipeline has had a record 12 spills since it began operation in 2010.
The two often cited benefits of Keystone XL is that it is a job creator and would help us get off foreign oil. TransCanada's job projections (500,000 ... really??) have been debunked by many people. The State Dept. puts it at something closer to 4,000-5,000. Regarding foreign oil, Kestone XL will indeed supply about 510,000 extra barrels of crude per day which sounds like a lot until you realize that this would only meet about 2.5 percent of our daily needs ... and at what cost?
A barrel of tar sands oil costs about $30 to produce (versus about $5 for a barrel of Saudi oil). And beyond the nearly incomprehensible environmental devastation it causes — 65 square miles of toxic tailings posts, cleared boreal forests, and polluted rivers — it is incredibly resource-intensive. Tar sands production uses three barrels of freshwater for every one barrel of oil produced and requires enough natural gas to heat 3 million Canadian homes, making it four times more carbon polluting than regular oil (PDF).
And for those of you who say I'm comparing apples and oranges — oil barrels and kilowatt-hours — I have this to say. Energy is energy, and wind power right now has become a viable alternative for powering our vehicles. In the lobby of NCES sat the brand new Coda sedan (I saw the prototype in China and blogged about it last year). It looks just like a Camry but goes up to 150 miles on a single 34 kWh charge. A typical U.S. driver would charge her Coda 100 times in a year (3.4 MWh's total), which means that the DWE + Sierra wind project could theoretically power about 2.9 million cars* — roughly the same as could be fueled by the Keystone XL pipeline.**
It really does feel like a line has been drawn in the tarry sand. Our nation faces a choice. Which way do we want to go? Nearly 600 people have been arrested protesting the proposed Keystone XL (and many more have signed up). They're clear about what they want for the future of our country. How do you feel about it?
Also on MNN:
- Remember when VCRs were a novelty? Watch these videos of then-new technology
- Here's a car that runs on wine and cheese
** 3 million cars: 510,000 barrels x 365 days x 19.5 gallons gasoline per barrel = 3.6 billion gallons gas. The crude coming from Alberta Tar sands has far lower productivity so I assume here about 50% normal production or roughly 10 gallons per barrel, yielding 1.8 billion gallons of refined gas per year. A typical car at 20 MPG averaging cars and light trucks (PDF) going 12,000 miles per year = 600 gallons per year for the average driver. 1.8 billion/600 = 3 million cars. Jet and diesel fuel production are not included in these calculations.

#include <fcntl.h> int posix_fadvise(int fd, off_t offset, off_t len, int advice);
Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):
The advice applies to a (not necessarily existent) region starting at offset and extending for len bytes (or until the end of the file if len is 0) within the file referred to by fd. The advice is not binding; it merely constitutes an expectation on behalf of the application.
Permissible values for advice include:
POSIX_FADV_WILLNEED initiates a nonblocking read of the specified region into the page cache. The amount of data read may be decreased by the kernel depending on virtual memory load. (A few megabytes will usually be fully satisfied, and more is rarely useful.)
In kernels before 2.6.18, POSIX_FADV_NOREUSE had the same semantics as POSIX_FADV_WILLNEED. This was probably a bug; since kernel 2.6.18, this flag is a no-op.
POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED attempts to free cached pages associated with the specified region. This is useful, for example, while streaming large files. A program may periodically request the kernel to free cached data that has already been used, so that more useful cached pages are not discarded instead.
Pages that have not yet been written out will be unaffected, so if the application wishes to guarantee that pages will be released, it should call fsync(2) or fdatasync(2) first.

The defender headed home his side's first as they beat Roma 2-0 in the International Champions Cup on Saturday
Walter Mazzarri hailed defender Nemanja Vidic after he scored his first Inter goal in Saturday's 2-0 win over Roma in Philadelphia.
The former Manchester United captain glanced in a header from a free kick late in the first half before Yuto Nagatomo added a second after the break.
After Inter's second win in the International Champions Cup, Mazzarri stated his delight at his side's showing and, in particular, the performance of Vidic.
"I'm really happy with the lads, we're getting better by the game. Solid in defence, Vidic is top class," the coach told Inter Channel.
"We're creating lots in the final third, we just need to be a bit sharper with our final ball.
"We must keep going like this."
The victory keeps Inter in with a chance of remaining in the competition but, if they bow out, a friendly with Eintracht Frankfurt awaits.

Clothed in baseball
Since I write solo in my Baltimore home office without an editor, I often ask a fellow freelance writer, Nancy, to review my stories before I submit them to YESNetwork.com.
So when Nancy read a story I had written titled "Clothed in baseball," she admitted she didn't like it – the story was weak.
Nancy knows.
The idea had evolved during a week when one Mrs. Singy was a tad "dry" for a topic. So instead I tackled the laundry. (Thrilling. Proof of a real case of writer's block). After padding barefooted around the house putting away clean clothes predominantly stamped with the "NY" logo, I wrote about how us Singletons could open a New York Yankees store with all the baseballs on our clothes.
It went something like this:
… hats, socks, sweatshirts, knit caps, windbreakers, workout clothes, basketball shorts, winter coats, robes and T-shirts – oh so many T-shirts! Long-sleeved, short-sleeved, no sleeves. There's even a pair of "NY" underwear at the bottom of the laundry basket (whom they belong to, I'll never tell). The kitchen drawer holds a neatly folded NY Yankees pinstriped apron (which Ken should wear when he grills to avoid barbeque sauce splattering on his favorite YES T-shirt).
Our shirts are screened with "Property of YES NETWORK" … "Why New York is better than New York: We never traded Nolan Ryan" … "My Yankees Baseball" … "YES HD" … and various players' names and numbers white-on-navy across the backs.
I continued the tale about how these New York-based clothes have long since replaced logos of other baseball jobs Ken has held; shirts and jackets boasting MSG Network, FOX, Montreal Expos and The Sports Network in Canada. Way before that we wore a plethora of orange and black Baltimore Orioles garments.
When Nancy had suggested to spice up the subject by maybe tying the T-shirts to memories, still I had nothing more to add. After all, Ken constantly brings home baseball stuff, so there is not much nostalgia there since we have lived and breathed the sport for a few decades. ("Baseball Is Life" is the most significant T-shirt in the pile.)
Nope, there wasn't even much to reminisce about that pair of NY underwear other than that they were purchased in a Cooperstown gift shop during a pleasant family trip to Induction Weekend. (Okay they're mine – happy now?)
Enough about baseball clothes; Nancy warned you it was weak.
Then I read a comment on the Mrs. Singy column from a Yankee fan who knew how to attach true feeling to a New York Yankees garment (see May 2010 – Life needs Diversions), putting my dim words to shame had I decided to post that feeble story.
This fan's anecdote was about how Yankees baseball pulled him through cancer. "It was like being in a safe environment for a few hours," he wrote. "One that made me forget, even for the shortest of times, that I was sick or in pain."
When this fan lost his hair during three rounds of chemo, he purchased a new NY cap that he will "never get rid of. It's worn heavily, but I can't discard a cap that did so much for me."
And he said he feels the same way about the entire Yankees franchise – a team that helped him greatly through a tough time, providing a distraction from ill health. Luckily, remission has been his friend since December 2007.
Now my collection of colorful NYY caps has meaning. As I donned the canary-yellow one to wear while walking the dog today, I recalled this fan's bittersweet story – how a simple item like a baseball cap can evolve into such sweet significance for an ordinary baseball fan.

Apparently Nancy isn't a huge Yankees fan! Or any sport for that matter. See, your topic certainly was NOT weak … at least not to those of us, like you, whose wardrobe is predominately Yankees oriented (and yes, I have Yankee boxers also LOL)! Some of mine have particular meaning (for example, my lucky A-Rod shirt that has been since worn by just about every member of my family & friends); others not as much. But they share one bit of major importance, they tell the world I'm a member of an exclusive club … the 27 World Champion Family! I'm sure that there are many fans who would enjoy knowing you & your family are just like us!!
Hi Mrs. Singy,
I just wanted to tell you what a great guy you are married to (as if you didn't already know that). Kenny and I grew up, went to school together and played ball in Mt. Vernon. I recently retired and and moved back to the Phoenix area and attempted to re-connect with Ken when he was in town with the Yankees this week. Unfortuantely, we couldn't get together but we did manage to talk on the phone and reminesce about our very happy childhood days and all the homeruns he hit off me as a youth. Even as a young boy, Kenny was always a class act and good kid who came from a very nice home. Hopefully, the next time you're out this way, we can all get together and stir up some more memories.
Take care!
