The KMS, Plymouth Experience In Fedora 10
Posted by
Michael Larabel
on 26 November 2008 09:32 AM EST
Fedora generally lives on the bleeding-edge of free software packages -- especially when it comes to the Linux kernel and X.Org -- and with yesterday's release of
Fedora 10 Cambridge
this is no different.
Fedora 9
was the first of the major distributions to integrate any level of
kernel mode-setting
support (
A Preview of Kernel-based Mode-Setting
) and this support has been well-extended in this latest Red Hat release.
Fedora 10 includes a kernel mode-setting driver for ATI Radeon graphics cards (primarily the R500 series) and there are other KMS improvements too. In the general Linux ecosystem though, kernel mode-setting has yet to enter the mainline Linux kernel and it will not do so until
at least Linux 2.6.29
. As we shared early on, the Fedora 10 release marks
Red Hat replacing RHGB with Plymouth
, which is a boot splash system designed around kernel mode-setting to provide a flicker-free and clean boot experience.
Last month we provided
a closer look at Plymouth
at both the technology end as well as what the end-user has to enjoy while their Red Hat / Fedora system boots. Plymouth ships with a number of different graphical plug-ins that provide different effects while the system is booting. Developers can also create their own plug-ins through the Plymouth API. Red Hat engineers continue working on Plymouth and the most recent version is 0.7, which ships with Fedora 10 final.
If you haven't yet installed Fedora 10 or lack KMS-capable hardware/drivers, below is a video of how Plymouth 0.7 with the default Fedora plug-in looks in the final release of
Another KMS-driven project being worked on by Red Hat engineers is
, which is a
mini display server and integrated compositing manager
. However, the Wayland project is still very young and likely won't play a role in Fedora for a while.

Keeping customers happy-The cupcake oven is very important. It keeps your customers happy while they are waiting in line. It is important to know who to keep happy for the maximum profits. The businessman tips $25 when he is completely satisfied, while the bride, Santa and the old ladies tip $10 each. The rest of the customers will only tip $5 when they are completelysatisfied. If your cupcake supply is limited, go for the businessman first to maximize his hearts. Kids get the most happiness from cupcakes; one cupcake will fill their hearts completely. |
Unsold cakes-Whenever you have a cake remaining at the end of a level on the display case or anywhere else, do not click on the last money remaining until after picking up the cake. You will not be penalized for the cake. Also, bake the most complex cake possible at the beginning of each level and put it on the stand. It almost always sells. If not, just hold it when you click on the last payment. |
Serving Cupid during Casino FebruaryCupid gets very annoyed if you serve someone else at the same time. Try keeping the cartoons on and only serve Cupid and he will be fairly patient. |
Cake toppersOne area that you can upgrade several times are the cake toppers. The customers have a wide range of tastes. After playing a couple levels, you will learn that certain customers tend to order the same type of cakes. The Granny customer tends to order two layer cakes and usually gets the Super Granny topper. When you first begin a new month, you will be given a tip about is going on that month. Use this to your advantage. If you know there will be Cupids around, try to have the Snail Mail topper. |
Customer favoritesThe following is a list of customers and their favorite toppings and tv channels: |
February at the CasinoAt this point you should have the fastest cake baker, the fastest icer, the fastest decorator (obtained by buying all the decoration options), a television, an upgraded cupcake baker, and the fastest shoes. You should only have two of each baker, icer, and decorator. Cupid is a difficult customer. Try doing Cupid's order first and put on cartoons, then the vacationing businessman, then the regular businessman's order. |

Robert Bonjean III, an assistant state's attorney since 2004, today was named Morgan County state's attorney by the county commissioners.
Robert Bonjean III, an assistant state's attorney since 2004, today was named Morgan County state's attorney by the county commissioners.
Bonjean's appointment is effective Friday.
Outgoing state's attorney Chris Reif has been appointed Morgan County resident circuit judge and will be sworn in to that position Thursday afternoon.
"I'm thankful to the county commissioners for the confidence they've shown in me and grateful to the community and those who have reached out to me and even contacted the commissioners on my behalf," Bonjean said. He said he understands that Reif also recommended his appointment to the board.
Bonjean will be required to run for the state's attorney's post in both primary and general elections next year.
Bonjean, 42, is a Jacksonville native and a graduate of Illinois College and the Southern Illinois University School of Law.
Upon graduation in 1997, he worked with his father at Bonjean Law Offices in Jacksonville until being named an assistant state's attorney seven years later.
He has handled misdemeanor and felony traffic cases, juvenile abuse, neglect and delinquency and civil issues on behalf of Morgan County while an assistant.
Bonjean, who has a wife and two daughters, also is a fire and police commissioner for the city of Jacksonville.

Tuesday, 21 Jun 2011 05:41 PM
Controller John Chiang Tuesday said he was acting under terms of a law voters approved last year, the "On-Time Budget Act of 2010," to withhold lawmakers' pay if they miss a mid-June deadline for balancing the state's books.
Democrats pushed a budget through the legislature last week, but Gov. Jerry Brown, a fellow Democrat, vetoed the budget a day later, saying it was filled with "legally questionable maneuvers, costly borrowing and unrealistic savings" and didn't close a $10 billion gap.
Chiang on Tuesday vowed to withhold paychecks until lawmakers submit a balanced spending plan for the fiscal year that starts on July 1.
The deadline for lawmakers to submit a budget to Brown was June 15.
"My office's careful review of the recently passed budget found components that were miscalculated, miscounted or unfinished," Chiang, also a Democrat, said in a statement.
"The numbers simply did not add up, and the legislature will forfeit their pay until a balanced budget is sent to the governor," he said.
Assembly Speaker John Perez said Chiang's decision gives the legislature's Republican minority control of the budget process, since they have refused to vote for Brown's plans to put a temporary tax extension up to a popular vote.
Without any Republicans lending support for that, Democratic leaders said they opted to drop Brown's plan to try to push through their own budget last week.
California is notorious for late budgets. Former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger signed the state's current budget last October, 100 days after it should have been in place.
Jack Pitney, a government professor at Claremont McKenna College, said the loss of pay could act as a catalyst. "Withholding paychecks might lubricate discussions," he said.
A report released by Standard & Poor's Ratings Services on the heels of Chiang's statement may also encourage California's leaders to bear down on the budget.
California's already low credit rating is at a "crossroad," S&P said.
A lengthy budget impasse extending into the new year could result in a "patchwork" budget similar to one Brown vetoed, S&P said, which "may lead us to lower the state's long-term rating depending upon the severity and duration of the cash crisis that we believe could precede it."
Legislators were quick to voice their discontent.
"Our state government right now reminds me of a troop of boys lost in the wilderness," Democrat Mike Gatto said in a statement.

COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION Winner of four World Beer Cup medals and eight medals at the Great American Beer Fest, Abbey Belgian Ale is the Mark Spitz of New Belgiums lineup - but it didnt start out that way. When Jeff and Kim first sampled the beer at the Lyons Folks Fest, reviews were mixed at best. One of founder Jeffs first two Belgian style homebrews (along with Fat Tire), Abbey is a Belgian dubbel (or double) brewed with six different malts and an authentic Belgian yeast strain. Abbey is bottle-conditioned, weighs in at 7.0% alcohol by volume, and pairs well with chocolate (or boldly served by itself) for dessert.

Robin Roberts Reveals She Has MDS Blood Disorder, Needs Bone Marrow Transplant
9:40 am, June 11th, 2012
VIDEO"Good Morning America" anchor Robin Roberts announced on Monday's show that she has MDS, a rare blood disorder that will necessitate a bone marrow transplant.
Roberts made the serious announcement at the end of the broadcast, surrounded by her "GMA" colleagues and in front of her sister, who will be donating her marrow.
"I am going to beat this," said the "Good Morning America" veteran, who successfully battled breast cancer five years ago.
Roberts became understandably emotional during the segment, but mostly showed the strength and grace for which she's become known — on and off-camera.
Gossip Cop wishes Roberts well as she takes on her new health challenge.

The Bayesian segmentation model developed is motivated by consideration of the information needed for higher-level visual processing. A segmentation is regarded as a collection of parameters defining an image-valued stochastic process by separating topological (adjacency) and metric (shape) properties of the subdivision and intensity properties of each region. The prior selection is structured accordingly. The novel part of the representation, the subdivision topology, is assigned a prior by universal coding arguments, using the minimum description-length philosophy that the best segmentation allows the most efficient representation of visual data

Our pack meets in a local elementary school. The Janitorial Staff at the school provides us with tremendous service beyond their job requirements. They make sure the cafeteria is spotless before our pack meeting (even though they don't have to do this). This means that they have to do the floors twice. Once before the meeting and once after the meeting. They also provide many other setup support and services as needed. We are going to present the staff gifts at our December pack meeting. But two of the staff members are Spanish speaking individuals, with very poor understanding of English. We would like to make our final thanks in both English and Spanish. But, alas, we have nobody in our pack who has a good command of the Spanish language. All attempts for translation usually include the words "...I Think". We don't want to screw this up. Could someone who knows the Spanish Language please provide me the translation of the following passage. I would really appreciate it. (This is probably not of general interest to the list so please respond to my personal mail "email@example.com")
"Thank you for all of the support you have given us this past year, and have a very Merry Christmas"
(Before the "Merry Christmas..Happy Hannukah.." people start fussing, we are absolutely 100% sure that all members of the Janitorial Staff celebrate Christmas!)
Thanks, YIS,

The Labor Department said Thursday that weekly applications for unemployment benefits fell 5,000 to a seasonally adjusted 366,000.
The four-week average, a less volatile measure, dropped to 350,500, the lowest in nearly five years. The average is low because of seasonal factors, which reduced applications sharply last month.
Still, economists were encouraged by the decline. Weekly applications are a proxy for layoffs. When layoffs decline, net hiring typically rises.
The drop in the four-week average "is good news and supports the view that the U.S. labor market is gradually improving," said Jennifer Lee, an economist at BMO Capital Markets.
The four-week average of applications has dropped nearly 6 percent in the past three months. At the same time, hiring has picked up: Employers added an average of 200,000 jobs a month from November through January.
In January, employers added 157,000 jobs. And annual revisions included in the Labor Department's January employment report showed the economy created 600,000 more jobs in 2011 and 2012 than previously thought.
Still, the unemployment rate ticked up to 7.9 percent in January from 7.8 percent in December. Economists expect unemployment will decline if hiring continues at last year's monthly pace of 180,000. The rate fell 0.7 percentage points in 2012.
Overall, nearly 5.6 million people received unemployment benefits in the week ended Jan. 19, the latest data available. That's about 325,000 fewer than the previous week.
That's also less than half the number of unemployed, which stood at 12.3 million last month. Many of the unemployed aren't eligible for benefits, while others have used up all the benefits available to them.
More hiring and income are needed to fuel greater economic growth. The economy shrank at an annual rate of 0.1 percent in the October-December quarter. But the decline was mostly caused by deep cuts in defense spending and sluggish growth in company stockpiles - one-time events that analysts say are likely rebounding in the current quarter.
Economists expect growth of around 2 percent this year. Strength in areas like housing and auto sales could partly offset government spending cuts this year.
Home builders are stepping up construction to meet rising demand. That should create more construction jobs. Home prices and sales are also increasing.
The housing recovery is boosting jobs at home-supply stores and retailers. Home Depot said Wednesday that it plans to hire 80,000 temporary employees for the spring selling season. The jobs will be part-time and full-time, the company said.

The White House counterterrorism chief, John Brennan, is Obama's nominee to run the nation's spy agency. He helped manage the deadly drone program.
Brennan's confirmation hearing today sets the stage for a public airing of some of the most controversial programs in the covert war on al-Qaida, from the deadly drone strikes to the CIA's use of interrogation techniques like waterboarding during the George W. Bush administration.
The Senate committee's chairman, Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein, said the secret legal opinion about drone strikes would be provided to her committee by this morning.
The National Weather Service says the storm is expected to begin Friday morning and continue into Saturday night as it moves past New England and upstate New York.
A blizzard watch for parts of Massachusetts and Rhode Island says travel may become nearly impossible because of high winds and blowing snow. A coastal flood watch is in effect for some shore communities.
Operators of some ski areas in Massachusetts are excited by the prospect of the first major snowstorm they've seen since October 2011. Christopher Kitchin, inside operations manager at Nashoba Valley Ski Area in Westford, Mass., says people are eager to go skiing, snow-tubing and snowboarding.

MANATEE COUNTY, Fla. -- Manatee County deputies used multiple Tasers to subdue and arrest an out-of-control naked man who authorities say severely bit the arm of another man.
The incident happened Wednesday night.
Charles Baker, 26, was charged with aggravated battery and resisting/obstructing an officer. He was taken to jail after being evaluated at a local hospital. He is being held without bond.
Deputies say Baker went to visit his children, who stay with their grandparents, while under the influence of an unknown drug.
When Baker was allowed into the house, he began cursing, screaming, throwing furniture around and removing his clothes.
Jeffrey Blake, owner of the house and the grandfather of the children, attempted to restrain Baker, and was bitten on his biceps as he took Baker to the floor.

Statistics of São Paulo for 1926 show that suicides are most frequent in the male portion of the working class. The greatest number occur between the twenty-first and the twenty-fifth years, and firearms are resorted to the oftenest. The author expresses the thought that the number of suicides may be reduced by proper suggestion both to the individual and to the community. Other chapters discuss varied nervous diseases of general interest. Attention is drawn to Morcio Nery's classification of mental diseases in Brazil. He considers two groups: the first includes the psychoneuroses as seen in patients with normal cerebral development; the second group includes mental diseases in individuals with delayed cerebral evolution (idiocy, cretinism, and so on) or with abnormal cerebral evolution (paranoia, epilepsy, and the like). At the end of each chapter is a Spanish and a French summary. The book is of value to the Spanish speaking medical

Bach completed them in 1720, when he was Kapellmeister at the court of Koethen. Three four-part Sonatas alternate with suite-like Partitas consisting basically of dances compiled in a very individual manner. In contrast to the conventional use of the violin as a melody instrument, Bach entrusts it with elaborate polyphonic structures, especially in the Fugues of the Sonatas and in the Chaconne from the second Partita, one of the most overwhelming pieces ever written for any instrument. But the cycle's extraordinary musical quality lies in the width, variety and grandeur built by only a single violin.

I find with the Tarrash (for that matter what ever opening I play), I usually win against players lower rated than I, struggle and lose against those higher rated. But it's always good.
hahaha, generally thats how it works
I can counter that theory. I don't play the French any more, but I can tell you that, speaking as a 1900 to 2000 player then, about 2055 now, that I beat many, many, MANY higher rated players. Especially those that played the Alekhine-Chatard Attack, which I have a perfect record against playing 6...c5 instead of accepting with 6...Bxg5. However, I have many, many, MANY losses against 1700 baffoons that played the Exchange, and I tried too hard to win.
That's why now I don't play a defense that features the "Exchange Variation". The Modern Defense kicked butt last night, and it will continue to on my board when I'm Black! Works against e4 or d4!
I'm really sorry for this, blasterdragon, but did you actually count the pawns? Black is down a pawn, but up a minor piece at the end of that line. Also, Nxd5 is a known error and play usually continues 5.e3 c6 6.Nf3 Qa5.
yes so black is up two pawns since a knight is worth 3 is it not?
No. When talking about material imbalances, if you say Black is up two pawns, it means he has two pawns more than White. Otherwise you say Black is up a piece for a pawn, as in this case.
its alot easier to say black is up two pawns tho
It may be easier, but it's also completely wrong and no serious chess player will know what you're talking about. It might make sense to you, but if you think of material as having such a static value, it will hamper your chess progression. A knight for a pawn is not worth the same as two extra pawns. I would much rather have a knight for a pawn in most situations this early in the game, while two extra pawns could be totally useless in the form of isolated, tripled rook pawns, for example.
Expertise87 is correct of course.
A knight is not ALWAYS worth three pawns. That's why with any chart of piece values it will say "RELATIVE Value of the pieces." A White knight on e6 and a White knight on a1 are not of equal value. In fact, the same White knight on e6 is likely of greater value than a White ROOK on a1 with White pawns on a2 and b2 and a White knight on b1.
I feel like I've heard some masters use "pawns" in place of "points" in material on this website. I don't exactly do the same, but it seems interchangeable enough.

ITS NOT A SKI! gawd! the origin of wakeboarding comes from "skurfing" which came from skiing and surfing combined. The style of the boar is closer to surfing and you are positioned more similar to a surfer rather then a skier. But the skiing part comes from the fact that you do have a boat towing you with a rope and handle, and that you have bindings. Wakeboards have many things that affect the board including, fins and whether you have them or not, the rocker (how far off the ground each side comes). The smaller the rocker the better the rider. Same with fins, no fins=difficult but no fins also=better rider. I for one have been wakeboarding since i was 10, and im 15 now.
The lake is glassy, it's a good time for wakeboarding.

HARTSHORNE — Tanya Spears had taken her first sip of morning coffee when suddenly her feet felt as if they were on wheels.
The house creaked. The floor swayed. Her caffeine fix sloshed in its mug.
Tanya's husband, Clint, said at first they thought their house had settled, but it was soon apparent that within seconds its concrete slab had moved four inches. It turns out it wasn't the house giving way, but an old coal mine underneath it.
"By the end of day we were pretty much homeless," said Clint Spears, 50.
They moved out that night, fearing the worst — that the ground would swallow the house with them in it, he said.
The Spearses are casualities of the long-gone, booming coal industry that abandoned a maze of tunnels under their hometown. And for the past four decades, the problems have been up to the government to fix.
In Oklahoma, there is an estimated $100 million in needed repairs caused by coal mining, said Mike Kastl, director of the Oklahoma Conservation Commission's Abandoned Mine Reclamation Program.
There are 40,000 acres of abandoned underground mines in eastern Oklahoma, spanning 16 counties but primarily in Pittsburg and Latimer counties, Kastl said.
This year, the U.S. Interior Department allocated about $2.4 million for projects, and while officials expect a slight increase in future funds there is concern that money once available for emergencies has been cut.
Kastl said those emergency dollars were critical to the program.
"We do our best to keep up with the day-to-day stuff, but there are problems that are unpredictable and require immediate attention," he said. One project is underway now.
Emergency project
What is thought to be the most costly emergency project in state history is under way on U.S. 270 near Alderson in Pittsburg County. The state has received $800,000 in emergency funding from the U.S. Office of Surface Mining to keep portions of the highway from sinking.
The allocation is eight times greater than the state's usual annual appropriation for such work, Kastl said. Most emergency projects cost $8,000 to $12,000, he said.
Henry Roye, project manager, can point out every patch on the stretch of highway compromised by the underground voids.

The condo was simply gorgeous, with great ocean view,really close to the pool, bbq,gym and beach club... a lot of options to choose from. Since our very first contact with the owner, the attention was perfect, she explained every detail needed to have wonderful vacations and the maid can really help with any additional need you might have during the stay.Did you find this review helpful?

Condo was fantastic and plenty of room for a family of 5. Maid/ cook provided is great. Very friendly and attentive to detail. Condo was always clean and food waiting after adventures. The views from the condo are superb with golf course outside of balcony, gardens throughout property and ocean view. The pools were relaxing and peacefu and cleanl. We used the ones at the condo and the private one for residents with a swim up bar. Gym is across from condo and it is kept nicely. There are 7-8 restaurants throughout this complex to include Mariott property. The entire complex is well secured including the gated entrance to Los Suenos and gated security at each community. Owner is great to work with and provided quick responses to all needs including recommendations for activities. She goes way out of her way to make sure to assist with your needs. Location is great with grocery stores close by and a few minutes from Downtown Jaco with nice restaurants, shops. Many activities were close by including zip lining, ATV, alligator tours and an 1hr from Manuel Antonio Park. It was a short drive on toll road from San Jose. Overall, I would recommend this for anyone looking for a quiet ,relaxing time in a secure and pristine environment.Recommended for: Romantic getaway, families with teenagers, age 55+, families with young children, sightseeing, adventure seekers, girls getaway.
Owner response: Thank-you very much for your review. We really try our best to go above and beyond to give you an excellent vacation. Dennia (our housekeeper) is lovely isn't she? I am so happy you enjoyed your stay.

Hello, Stephanie. We had a lovely time in CR. Your condo was perfect and breakfast on your balcony with all the birds was amazing. The pools and hot tubs were wonderful. We had a hard time getting our 3 year-old granddaughter out of the kiddie pool for lunch! Dennia is a real treasure - a meticulous housekeeper and a great cook. A great holiday, thank you very much!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

We had a wonderful time. The location is gorgeous and the resort was a dream. The fishing was excellent -- thank you very much. The place is paradise -- and we have traveled to a lot of beach resorts (Mexico, both coasts, Bahamas, Virgin Islands, Florida and Europe) and have never been in a more beautiful spot for everything - fishing, ziplining, surfing, jungle adventures. The weather was sunny and 90 every day. We felt like we were living in a dream and can't wait to return.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 2/2

The condo was amazing and the owners were awesome to deal with!! I can't say enough about our stay. The condo was immaculate, clean and it smelled great. We loved being spoiled by the large bedrooms, high ceilings, tile, granite and an array of wonderful furnishings. Everything was in like new condition. There were movies and games for the kids too. The pool was clean and so pretty. It was also nice having a cook and someone to do our laundry...we felt so spoiled! I loved the fact that we could deal with the owners directly. They communicated promptly and were great to deal with. The area is nice and there is a lot to do. Make sure you go to Villa Calletas for the sunset...breathtaking! Have fun, it is well worth the stay.Owner response: Thank-you so much for your review!

Shooting at a fixed target is only a step towards shooting at a moving one, like a man. --Lord Baden-Powell Scouting for Boys(1908)
Make yourselves good scouts and good rifle shots in order to protect the women and children of your country if it should ever become necessary. --Lord Baden-Powell Scouting for Boys(1908)
We have all got to die some day; a few years more or less of our lives don't much matter if by dying a year or two sooner than we should otherwise do from disease we can help to save the flag of our country from going under. --Lord Baden-Powell Scouting for Boys (1908)
Personally, I should like to see all Boy Scouts drilled. I look upon the Movement as a further savings of the situation for the nation in the future, and that it will pave the way directly for its national service. --Lord Baden-Powell letter to Lord Meath (1910)
Our gallant fellows at the front are carrying their football training into practice on the battlefield. They are 'playing the game' in all conscience. --Lord Baden-Powell Headquarters Gazette (1914) =========================================================================== THE IMPACT OF SCOUTING
Boy Scout Alumni are:
71% of football captains 65% of basketball captains 85% of student council presidents 88% of school newspaper editors 77% of editors of school annuals 75% of business managers of school publications 80% of junior class presidents 89% of senior class presidents 65% of college graduates 72% of Rhodes scholars 75% of Military Academy graduates 65% of U.S. Congress 85% of Airline Pilots 85% of F.B.I. Agents
26 of the first 29 astronauts. 11 of the 12 who walked on the moon. 108 of 172 astronauts were boy scouts. Over half of the 108 attained Star, Life, or Eagle rank.
For every 100 Youths involved in Scouting:
12 will have their first contact with a church. 5 will earn their religious emblem. 1 will enter the clergy 1 will use Scout skills to save a life. 1 will use Scout skills to save his own life. 2 will become Eagle Scouts. 8 will enter professions first learned through the Merit Badge system. 17 will become Scouting volunteers and pass their skills, inspiration, and leadership to countless youth. 18 will develop hobbies that will give them lifelong interest. Only rarely will one ever appear in juvenile court.
And yet, SCOUTING reaches only 25% of the youth in the United States.

Breakfast near Michigan and Ohio
Sheraton Hotel (a ten-minute walk from you) on lower level has LB Bistro and Patisserie that has a breakfast extravaganza for about $20 pp. They are set up with chef stations and you have as much as you want from all of them---an infinity of crepes, omelets, eggs any way you want, blueberry pancakes, a big display of breakfast pastries (LB is a prize-winning pastry chef), hot cereals, breakfast meats, fruit smoothies, gorgeous parfaits of berries, etc etc. Coffee is extra but they bring a liter pot and leave it on the table, nice.
Another option---Heaven on Seven, Ohio and Rush (so about two blocks from you) has New Orleans brunch on weekends---not sure if also weekdays. Go to Chicago Restaurant Menus to see what's on offer---I remember Shrimp Creole Omelet and Bananas Foster Pecan French Toast.
One more---Elephant & Castle, St Clair and Huron, has an English breakfast complete with bangers, eggs, grilled tomahtoes, baked beans, et al.

I also see we will be close to Yolk and West Egg Cafe. Any thoughts on these? We have enjoyed Fox & Obel on other visits and am happy to realize we will be walking distance. Just wondering on these as alternatives/change of pace.

re: sammyo
I ate at Yolk a few months ago, and it didn't come close in quality to Fox & Obel. I am more of a savory breakfast type, so the pancake offerings at Bongo Room and others don't appeal to me as much as the choices do at F&O.
Yolk was good, just not exceptional or memorable in any particular way.

You'll find lots of breakfast recommendations in that vicinity in this discussion:

For a good bakery, go to Fox & Obel. It's only a few blocks walk, and IMHO they have the very best baked goods in the city. Fox & Obel is our premier gourmet grocery store, with the very best of everything - prepared foods, meats, fish, etc. (They also have a cafe in the rear where you can get anything from a cup of coffee to a complete meal, cooked to order.) They do an outstanding job at breads as well as pastries. My favorites among the breads include their cinnamon swirl rolls (not overly cinnamon-y, using a very rich dough); brioche loaf; rustic bread with pecans and dried apricots (I forget the exact name); croissants; etc. Among the pastries, the selection varies day to day, but they have many things I love, notably their tres leches cake, fruit tarts, etc. www.fox-obel.com

Wearing one of the handcrafted pieces from Crush collection we taste an unusual sense of freedom that only truth can bring. Small gemstones are placed in the crushed structure as a memorial of the alchemic transformation that occurs after the holy tears transforms innocent beauty into sublime experienced strength and power. In contact with our yet decaying body, like a metal ouroboros it grows in-through-and-out-of-itself, in an infinitum circle of destruction and reconstruction.
This collection with her brutal and fragile beauty echoes the otherworldliness source of her existence.

Lessons in Humility and Managing Expectations
by James Ray
"Congratulations, your first job here is to earn the respect of those around you." I'll never forget those words. They were spoken to me shortly after making the football team at the University of Texas at Austin by Duane Akina, defensive back coach and one of the toughest, most tenacious and well-respected individuals I have ever known. It was immediately clear that, as a walk-on, respect did not come as a matter of right. It had to be earned. The way to earn that respect was to know your role and do your best in that role to help the team win. Earning the respect of peers, colleagues, co-workers and friends is also my goal as a new lawyer. Thankfully, I have some experience as the low person on the totem pole in a hyper-competitive environment where everyone is talented, motivated and fearless.
We all have our reasons for becoming lawyers. Not once, however, have I heard someone say "I love reviewing documents. I'm going to law school to make that dream a reality!" Most of us, I think, visualize making a difference by passionately arguing before the Supreme Court, delivering a profound closing argument filled with drama, or looking someone in the eyes and letting them know that you will fight like crazy to help them through life's most difficult circumstances. Apparently, those privileges do not fall out of the sky the day you earn your law license. Hopefully, they will come after putting in the time, hard work and dedication necessary to earn the respect and trust of those around you.
Much like a walk-on spends many practices on the scout team without seeing the field, the young lawyer may also spend hours, days and weeks reviewing documents, putting together trial binders and researching discrete issues—for which there may be no answer—all without ever meeting a client or appearing in court. Self-sacrifice and patience with a focus on being part of something greater than yourself were essential to survive as a walk-on. For the lawyer, providing the best legal representation for each and every client must be of paramount importance, irrespective of personal ego.
Every day at practice we were told by our coaches to ask ourselves "How can I help the team win?" One of our roles was to help make our teammates better tacklers through a drill called "the pits." Always a tacklee and never a tackler, the walk-on would line up 20 feet away from the tackler and each player would run full speed at one another leading to a serious collision, popping pads, mild concussions, etc. As much fun as it was to go toe-to-toe on a daily basis with athletes that were all bigger, faster and stronger than us, the reward and personal satisfaction came in knowing that we were doing our part to help the team win.
I have yet to see two associates sprinting at each other in the hallways, but there are other important (and less painful) roles young lawyers can play. It may not be delivering the game changing cross examination in the trial of the century, but well-researched and reasoned memoranda can be just as crucial to victory. I practiced for several years before finally getting playing time my senior year. In my senior year, however, I was part of a team that won a national championship. That experience taught me that you do not need to be in the spotlight or receive constant adulation to feel a sense of pride about your work. Back then, our coaches and teammates helped us realize that any contribution to the team effort, no matter how big or small, is meaningful. Today, we look to more experienced lawyers to play the coach's role and provide advice and examples of how to practice.
Ultimately, nothing else matters if we do not enjoy what we do. The weekly exhilaration of 100,000+ cheering fans made it easy to appreciate the privilege we had earned as walk-ons. It is probable that no one will run into our offices screaming, wearing face-paint and starting the wave when we draft our next memo or motion. Confetti cannons will not fire off when our clients win a judgment or close a huge deal. The reward will come in knowing that someone respects and trusts us enough to ask for our help with protecting their business, their livelihood and their family. That is a privilege to treasure and to get excited about.

(Romania)–And, missionary training is important if you want to be effective in sharing the Gospel. That's the message from Mariana Groze (GROH-zay) from Romania who's studying with International Messengers. When she returns to Romania, Groze will be working in a home for women who are going through a crisis pregnancy. "I think the training gave me a perspective (of) how to share the Gospel in a better way and how to meet their spiritual needs. Like how to pay attention to what they need and how to do it in an effective way. Not just do what I think (they need)." International Messengers is a four-month intensive training program for the average lay person. Groze tells us about the training she's receiving. "We have different classes–like, we had pray(er), or evangelism; this week, we're studying how to preach or teach, so we each have to prepare a lesson or sermon. And, also we had apologetics."

Gardaí examine Cork vehicles after fatal hit and run
02/11/2013 - 16:05:53Back to Ireland Home
