In an update to a group of researchers, Allen Weinstein, archivist of the United States, said the secret removal of documents had been virtually ''stopped in its tracks.'' The Air Force and the Central Intelligence Agency, which had withdrawn the largest number of documents, will declassify 95 percent of what they withdrew, though some will still have deletions, Mr. Weinstein said. Archives officials are devising an initiative to streamline the release of records and prevent individual agencies from withholding those that are no longer sensitive. SCOTT SHANE (NYT)

Think a volunteer vacation means nothing but work? A Seacology trip to Fiji will change your opinion. Seacology's island projects range from establishing a marine reserve to providing running water, and you may be thanked for your efforts with a traditional feast of roast pig and other local dishes while islanders perform elaborately costumed spear dances in which everyone is encouraged to participate.
As a nonprofit, nongovernmental conservation organization, Seacology works to preserve fragile island environments and cultures around the globe, sponsoring more than 160 projects on 90 different islands. Individuals who contribute at least $1,000 are invited to witness firsthand (at an additional expense) Seacology's projects in all corners of the globe, from Chumbe Island, Pemba Island and the Maldives in the Indian Ocean to Papua New Guinea and Vanuatu in the South Pacific.
"Seacology is about mutual trust. We offer to build schools or hospitals and provide solar energy, medical equipment or a water supply for island villages," explained Dr. Paul Alan Cox, the founder of Seacology, who is also an ethnobotanist and a former mountaineering instructor. "In return, the villages promise to protect their rainforest or coral reef. This can be a big sacrifice for them, since they may have little local support." According to Dr. Cox, villagers show a keen interest in Seacology projects and volunteers. "They like to see our people at work, look into our souls and determine if we are worthy partners in such an endeavor. We usually have a meal with the villagers, listen to their stories and often dance or sing with them.
"One of the hallmarks of a Seacology trip is that donors have a good time doing good for other people," Cox said, "and we do our utmost to show our respect for the indigenous culture." However, this does not mean you have to rough it or tote bricks to help build a new footpath or bridge. "If we can have a luxury dive boat or a four-star hotel as our base, so much the better," Cox added with a smile.
Upcoming Seacology scuba-diving trips include the Red Sea. You'll travel with an experienced crew on the Royal Explorer, sleep in one of 12 private cabins with en-suite bathrooms, and photograph rare marine life in Seacology-funded marine sanctuaries.
Donor Trips for 2008: Madagascar and South Africa, May 10-24, from $4,250; Red Sea Diving Expedition, November 6-20, price TBD; Jean-Michel Cousteau Fiji Islands Resort, August 11-18, from $2,360. All rates per person, based on double occupancy. seacology.com

In today's "whaaaaaaaaaaaat!?" news, fringe anti-abortion group Personhood USA is pushing for a legal redefinition of personhood in which life would begin the very moment sperm fertilizes an egg, even before the embryo would have an opportunity to implant into the woman's uterus. The effect of such a (ridiculous) redefinition? Contraception, like the Pill, could be outlawed.
Think Progress explains,
These laws would recognize every fertilized egg as an individual and complete human being with full rights, and place millions of women in legal jeopardy. According to 2008 numbers, around 11 million American women use birth control pills and another 2 million use intrauterine devices (IUDs).
Contraceptives like the pill and IUDs not only act to prevent fertilization, but, if fertilization does occur, may prevent that fertilized egg from implanting in a woman's uterus. Personhood USA considers this tantamount to abortion, and wants to make it a punishable offense for women to control their own fertility. Worse, because the proposed legislation could make any effort to terminate a pregnancy a criminal act, it could also bar doctors from saving the lives of women with ectopic pregnancies, which are never viable and need to be terminated as soon as possible.
Also at risk of prosecution would be the millions of women whose fertilized eggs never begin dividing, never implant, or implant but spontaneously abort. This often happens so early on that the woman never even knows she might have been pregnant.
Personhood attempts have been out there for a long time as an anti-abortion tactic. But what makes it particularly scary now is the fact that Alabama is very close to passing such legislation and Mississippians could vote on a personhood amendment to their Constitution as early as this November. These developments are in line with Personhood USA's goal to have similar measures added to almost half the states' ballots by 2012.
As fiercely pro-choice as I am, I understand and respect the fact that not everyone else is. However, it goes against every grain of logic to be anti-contraception if you are anti-abortion. Preventing unwanted pregnancies should be the common ground between the two camps, not another battle ground. In what way does outlawing or reducing access to contraception reduce the number of abortions? Oh, right, it doesn't. It's just another coercive attempt to control women's lives through their fertility and shame them for engaging in sexual activity.
I have to wonder how these personhood folks would feel if feminists moved to make fellatio — or hand jobs, even — illegal, since every sperm could result in a potential child?

Innovators at NASA's Johnson Space Center have developed a graphics display tool that combines key elements from graphics software developed for the space shuttle and the International Space Station (ISS) programs and adapts them for integration with other engineering simulations and facilities. The Engineering Dynamic On-board Ubiquitous Graphics (DOUG) Graphics for Exploration (EDGE) package allows NASA to reduce costs and development time for new programs by incorporating the output from previous graphics models developed over the past few decades. EDGE allows drop-in integration with the NASA Trick Simulation Environment and provides a fusion of three-dimensional (3D) graphics and simulation outputs. This software may be released for U.S. Government purposes only.

When her alcoholic misdemeanours land her in court on a drunk-driving charge, Gwen Cummings (Sandra Bullock) is sentenced to 28 days in rehab. Arriving at the clinic, Gwen at first resists the discipline and emotional honesty required by her treatment, but she soon forms bonds with the other inmates and builds up the courage to tackle her problem. Also starring Steve Buscemi, Viggo Mortensen and Elizabeth Perkins.
Gwen Cummings (Sandra Bullock), a successful N.Y. journalist and ultimate party girl, loves to have a good time! Trouble is, she never can tell when she's had enough. When she borrows her sister's (Elizabeth Perkins) wedding limo and plows it into someone's front porch, the wild life she shares with her boyfriend, Jasper (Dominic West), comes to a screeching halt. She earns herself a DUI and a 28-day stretch in rehab. There, she faces an unthinkable set of rules (no cell phones!) and some strange rituals, like chanting and (gulp!) sharing her feelings. Joining up with an eccentric group of fellow rehabbers led by the inimitable Counselor Cornell (Steve Buscemi), Gwen embarks on a touching and often hilarious road to recovery where she learns that life is not always a party and that real happiness comes from within.
A disastrous drunken episode lands successful New York journalist Gwen Cummings (Sandra Bullock) inrehab where she encounters a bizarre assortment of characters and some unique rituals during her touching and often hilarious road to recovery.

Casey Anthony Trial July 15: Judge to Allow 911 Calls
In the Casey Anthony Trial, a Judge Has Ruled that 911 Tapes Made by Cindy Anthony May Remain in Evidence
Casey Anthony's mother Cindy admitted that she made exaggerated calls to 911 in order to get the police to come to her home, after two-year-old Caylee Anthony went missing. Judge Belvin Perry has ruled that the tapes are still allowed as it is thought Cindy was trying to use these exaggerated calls to trick her daughter in to revealing any information she knew about missing Caylee.
- Casey Anthony Could Still Face Death Penalty
- Full Casey Anthony Jail Letters
- Casey Anthony Pleads Guilty to Check Fraud Charges
Judge Perry said:
"Whether they are true or false really has no bearing," Perry said. "They were designed to elicit statements from the defendant in this case, to ascertain the whereabouts of the victim in this particular case."
Casey Anthony has been charged with murdering her daughter Caylee in 2008, and the defense wanted the three 911 calls thrown out as evidence.
Facing her daughter in an Orlando courtroom, Cindy Anthony said she told police "whatever I was thinking at the time to get them out there" -- including the claim, made in her first of three 911 calls, that her daughter had stolen a car from her.
"I wanted to speak to a police officer," Cindy Anthony said. "And I didn't think that if I said that she wouldn't take me to see my granddaughter, that they thought her and I might just be having an argument and think that I was some crazy grandmother and not come out and talk to me."
This was after Casey Anthony told her mother that she had not seen her daughter in over a month. She maintains that she was just trying to get police to act quicker, even though she told them in the third call 'my daughter's vehicle smells like there's been a dead body in the damn car'.
Cindy Anthony was very angry when she discovered that her granddaughter had been missing for a month, and they had not seen her since June 16 2008.
Sadly, Caylee's remains were found in the woods in December 2008; police have since concluded that her body was in her mother's car at some point in late June 2008.

RE: The idea of God always existing
I'm locking this thread until I can figure out what the fuck is going on.
All right. Having read this farce, I am going to ask that you all stop abusing the report post button. It is specifically there for rule breaking. Those that were actually breaking the rules are fine. Those that simply were not chill enough for your liking do not need to be reported. If you cannot handle the discussion, leave it. Personal insults will get you a warning. Consider this a verbal one. |

New! Free Drop Shipping Bird Observer Telescope Sound Amplifier Spy Camera Digital Spy Recording
Finally it is possible for you to hear sounds of any level over great distances and even comfortably record them.
You will not believe your ears, when you hear normally not audible birdcalls and sounds of any kind over great distances! A nearly uncanny effect, as you experience it for the first time! This is made possible by the newest production of an individually adjustable and controlable electronic hightech noise amplifying system.
This system allows the greatest possible elimination of disturbing background noises through the use of a complex parabolic antenna technology.
Only those acoustic waves are seized, bundled and concentrated to the microphone which have been targetted. The pollution of the targetted sounds through background noises is therefore minimized. Normally this is only possible through the use of complex electronic reconstruction and filter technology.
The supplied headphones connect to the microphone and give additional protection against disturbing background noises. A special attraction is the possibility of recording up to 12 seconds of sound digitally by the push of one button without fussy preparations. Naturally the possibility of connecting an external recorder exists for longer recording times (not provided). Intigrated into the equipment is a telescopic sight with 10 fold enlargement, so that you cannot only hear the targetted object but also optically follow it, without having to use extra binoculars. This has the extremely pleasant effect that the accurate aligning of the parabolic reflector on the targetted object is easily achived. Anyone, who has ever tried to align a microphone accurately, knows how difficult this is, particular if the object (animals, birds) is moving. Even smallest direction deviations of a few degrees can negatively affect the result or make sound enforcement impossible. This equipment is made of plastic parts and thus makes observations even over longer periods an easy and comfortable experience! The equipment is not heavy and does not strain your hand, not even after longer time periods! The light weight and the ergonomically formed hand grip become positively noticeable when targetting fast moving objects with an unusual ease! Some binoculars alone are heavier! Therefore every long-term observer has to have this equipment! Note: |

A short bit of administrative trivia: the lkml FAQ now has a new home,
www.tux.org is a reliable, fast, professionally maintained and high-bandwidth
connected Linux Web server, geographically in the USA. My sincere thanks to
David Niemi and Sam Chessman, the server managers.
Also my thanks to Aaron Porter, the lkml owner, for making the transition (in
the footer URL) swift and smooth.
And finally I want to express my thanks to all those that kindly offered to
host the lkml FAQ:
- Alan Cox (who first suggested to host the FAQ on vger and/or on
- Aaron Porter.
- Sean Reifschneider.
- Jonathan Corbet.
- David Ford.
- Oliver Xymoron.
- Trevor Johnson.
- Mr. Matthew G. Marsh.
The choice of tux was basically dictated by the fact that I "knew my way around
it", since I already had an old account on it, and it fulfilled all
the technical requirements for hosting the FAQ (and then some more).
The previous URL on www.altern.org (in France) is deprecated and will not be
maintained anymore.
The FAQ maintenance got delayed somewhat but will catch up this weekend. As
usual, contributions are wanted and appreciated.

MUMBAI: Slowly but surely, the new minaret in the shrine of Haji Ali is rising skyward, made entirely of pure marble with no iron or steel fortification. Drawing on techniques used to construct Rajabai Tower and the Maratha forts of Shivaji Maharaj, engineers and craftsmen are rebuilding the iconic monument that they claim will be earthquake-resistant and last a whole century.
Rajasthani artisans, whose roughened hands shape the finest monuments in the country, have brought with them white marble from their native Makrana. Neatly wrapped in bundles of hay, these are stacked beneath the emerging minaret.

I Love The Place
This is an airport that reflects the area in which it is located. I have travelled through BXU 9 times so far and while its facilities don't match the big western airports it has enough. You can buy something to eat and drink as well as souvenirs. The security here is the same as in any Filipino airport, very tight. The departure lounge is thankfully air conditioned to an extent and there is a small kiosk as well. There are no airbridges here at BXU but they roll up stairs at both the front and rear of the 737.

Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is treatment provided by a machine worn at night or during times of sleep to treat sleep apnea, a sleep disorder in which a person regularly stops breathing during sleep for 10 seconds or longer. A CPAP machine increases air pressure in the throat, keeping tissues in the airway from collapsing when a person inhales.
The CPAP machine delivers air through a mask that covers the nose and mouth, through a mask that covers only the nose (nasal continuous positive airway pressure, NCPAP), or through prongs that fit inside the nose. The mask that covers only the nose is used most frequently.
CPAP is the most widely used treatment for sleep apnea caused by blocked airflow in the throat (obstructive sleep apnea).

Lesson: Curtis Stone shows off a 3-4 oz. piece of chicken, this is the PROPER portion size!
Fact: Typical restaurants are way off, sometimes two to four times higher than the proper portion size.
Solution: Curtis Stone suggests using a smaller plate. Then draw the plate in quarters where
half of the plate should be vegetables, a quarter of the plate should be whole grain starch and a quarter of
the plate should be food lower in water. Meanwhile, the vegetables should have a higher water content like
green beans, spinach, tomatoes, onions, etc. Use garlic and ginger to make the vegetables more flavorful.
Tip: Compare different sizes of meats that are equal in the same amount of calories.
Look for skinless fish, white meat, lean pork tenderloin, very lean red meat such as filet and ground beef.

French house Chloé threw a massive bash last night at the Palais de Tokyo museum in Paris to kick of an exhibit called "Chloé: Attitudes" that showcases the label's work over the last 60 years. Naturally, there were models everywhere, Karl Lagerfeld showed up, and everyone looked just smashing.

You're out with your girlfriends enjoying dinner and drinks, and as the night wears on the talk veers into the personal and, almost inevitably, the intimate.
Sexuality as a topic of conversation is no longer taboo except maybe in the doctor's office - the one place that is should be uppermost on the agenda — where the same woman who freely tells her friends "everything" is suddenly dumbstruck when it comes to discussing with a trained professional, real problems or concerns she may be experiencing in the bedroom.
According to the Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Canada (SOGC), between one quarter to one half of Canadian women experience some form of sexual anxiety or worry but most lack the confidence or are too embarrassed to introduce the topic without being prodded to do so first by their physicians.
Aware of the difficulty that exists when it comes to a candid discussion of sexual problems, the SOGC has launched an online resource for women called Female Sexual Health.
It's based on a guideline that appeared in August 2012 in the Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology for health-care workers and was designed to help them advise and treat women with sexual concerns.
"Sex is often a difficult topic to discuss," said Dr. John Lamont, principal author of both in a press release issued by the SOCG.
"Because when it comes to sexual health, there is not a 'one size fits all' approach; what is a problem for one person may not be for another. Women are constantly being bombarded with media messages about sex — how they should feel about it, how often they should have sex, and so on. It leaves women wondering if the way they feel is normal. The truth is — being 'normal' in a sexual health context is really a very individual thing."

Recruitment Statement
Ned's Atomic Dustbin
Ned's Atomic Dustbin
Ned's Atomic Dustbin's stylish fusion of punk and funk earned them a fair number of fans in the early '90s, just as England's Stone Roses-inspired "Madchester" scene was drawing to a close. Comprised of Jonn Penney (vocals), Rat (guitar), Matt Cheslin (bass), Alex Griffin (bass), and Dan Warton (drums), the group began as a neo-goth rock outfit in the late '80s. By the beginning of the '90s, the band had developed a dense, assaultive sound that was distinguished by their thundering two-bass attack. Ned's released their first single, "Kill Your Television," in 1990; on the back of a slick, sloganeering marketing attack (epitomized by the 86 T-shirts the band had designed in their first three years), the single reached the U.K. Top 50 and led to a record contract with Sony Music. The band released its debut album, God Fodder, in 1991; it entered the charts at number four. For the rest of the year, the group toured the world and released singles drawn from God Fodder. Though they remained popular in the U.K., they weren't able to gather anything larger than a cult following in America. Released in 1992, Are You Normal? also failed to expand their following. For 1995's Brainbloodvolume, Ned's decided to expand their trademark sound by experimenting with techno music, yet the album proved a commercial failure. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi

PM17 Pharmaceuticals (PM281) Effects of fluoxetine on development and metamophosis in Xenopus laevis. Rogers, Emily1, Black, Marsha1, 1 University of Georgia, Athens, GA, USA ABSTRACT- Pharmaceuticals detected at low concentrations in surface water may have the potential to affect aquatic organisms, including developing amphibians. Our research focuses on fluoxetine, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor and widely prescribed antidepressant. Mammalian research indicates that fluoxetine may inhibit the thyroid axis. In larval frogs, increasing levels of thyroid hormones are necessary for metamorphosis to occur, and the presence of fluoxetine in aquatic habitats has the potential to decrease thyroid hormone levels in tadpoles, thus delaying the completion of metamorphosis. To test this hypothesis, we exposed Xenopus laevis tadpoles individually in small aquaria to fluoxetine from early development until the completion of metamorphosis. We used the following measured concentrations of fluoxetine: 0.059, 0.295, 2.95, and 29.5 ppb, which overlap concentrations detected in effluent dominated streams. Ammonium perchlorate, a known inhibitor of the thyroid axis and anuran metamorphosis was used as a positive control at 10 ppb, and FETAX solution served as the negative control. Dates of completion of forelimb emergence and tail resorbtion and were recorded for each individual, and tadpoles were measured and staged at 10-day intervals. Severe malformations were observed at all concentrations of fluoxetine tested. Malformations appeared during metamorphic climax and included stunted forelimbs and primary rotation of the hind limbs. Tadpoles exposed to 50 ppb fluoxetine exhibited impaired balance and swimming behavior. These tadpoles floated upside down at the surface of the tank and swam in circles when prodded. As this research is on-going, final times to metamorphosis are not available, but our preliminary results indicate that fluoxetine impairs normal development in X. laevis tadpoles at concentrations that may occur in the environment. Key words: pharmaceutical, Xenopus laevis, fluoxetine, ammonium perchlorate |

George Washington is one of those historical figures about whom it is easy to find reasons to admire. Perhaps the foremost two that spring to mind are his successful leadership of the Continental Army during the Revolutionary War, and his tenure as our country's first president. As children I'm sure we all grow up admiring him, given his preeminence among our founding fathers. No doubt we all remember the fable of him as a child himself, boldly admitting to cutting down a cherry tree rather than tell a lie. For me though, my deep and profound respect for the man comes from the recognition of the fact that he was able to do what very few people in history have done in his position. It is a feat which is based in historical fact and I think is so monumental that it completely justifies any myth of his legendary character. I am speaking of his refusal of absolute power in the service of the birth of our nation.
Toward the end of the Revolutionary War, many of the officers and men of the Continental Army had yet to receive much of the pay promised to them by Congress. In May of 1782 a letter was sent to Washington by Colonel Lewis Nicola who proposed resolving the situation by having the army support his appointment as King of the United States. Naturally Washington reacted very strongly against this suggestion, refusing a mantle offered to other important men of history such as Julius Caesar and Napoleon Bonaparte, who accepted it, and ultimately lead themselves to their own ruin. I mention this not only because I believe it earns him a position of prominence in the pantheon of historical figures, but to establish his exceptional integrity and single-minded devotion to the upright establishment and survival of the United States of America.
Over the course of his presidency, George Washington was keenly aware that as the first President of the United States, his every action would be precedents for his successors. Despite the widespread demand that he serve a third term he retired from the office after serving only two, thus establishing a peaceful transfer of power that exists in the Executive Branch of our government to this day. At this time, the two-party system was beginning to emerge. There was the Federalist Party, associated with John Adams, and the Democratic Republican Party, or anti-Federalists, led by Thomas Jefferson. Many of the differences between the two parties would be formed over the course of the Revolution and the ratification of the Constitution, and when Washington left office in 1797 they had become a potent force in the new America's politics. In these parties George Washington foresaw a danger to the new republic for which he fought, one he warned the country against in his farewell address:
"The alternate domination of one faction over another, sharpened by the spirit of revenge, natural to party dissension, which in different ages and countries has perpetrated the most horrid enormities, is itself a frightful despotism."
Given the current state of affairs in our country, with party politics they way they are and the manner in which they affect our government; the accuracy of these passages that were delivered over two hundred and ten years ago is so profound that to me they border on prophecy. Look back over the last few election cycles and you can easily see our community having been agitated with poorly grounded jealousies. Although not having taken us to the point of riot and insurrection, yet, our political parties have most certainly kindled the animosity of one part toward another. Indeed, do we not now refer to ourselves as being a nation of blue states and red states?
I do not wish to promote the notion that just because one is involved with a political party it necessarily follows that they must be prone to corruption, or cannot be good public servants. Over the course of our history we have been fortunate enough to have had many fine statesmen from both parties serve us with both diligence and honor. Yet when you consider the never-ending cacophony of partisanship coming from the twenty four-hour news cycle, talk radio, and the internet coupled with the vast, potentially limitless sums of money that can be raised by either party from anonymous donors, even potentially by foreign governments; one has to wonder that if, particularly now, the two parties are more focused on securing their own power rather than furthering the best interests of the country.
I understand that when one believes a cause is just it is natural to want to see its goals carried to fruition. The question that must be asked is how far does one go in this pursuit? What is the maximum price willing to be paid in its fulfillment? There is no doubt that in pushing their respective agendas, both Democrats and Republicans do believe they have the best interests of the country at heart and in theory there is nothing wrong with that. Unfortunately though both sides have become so single-minded in the quest for power that it seems they are willing to sacrifice a functioning republic that promotes the general welfare for a dysfunctional one that, even in only a small measure, satisfies their rigid ideals. Put simply, the Democrat and Republican parties see themselves as enemies whose sole purpose is to destroy the other and to employ every possible advantage in doing so. If it means an unlimited, unregulated amount of money may be spent to influence our elections and legislative process to the detriment of us all then so be it. If it means that perfectly good legislation is killed in Congress by poison pill amendments for the sole purpose of securing political advantage, then again so be it. In these ways and others, both parties have served to, as George Washington put it: "distract the public councils and enfeeble the public administration".
The solution to this problem is not the abolition of political parties. This is not something that Washington was advocating in his address. He said party spirit should be discouraged and restrained, not eliminated. I think his point was that even though people will always coalesce around certain ideals there comes a time when the passion for those ideals is counterproductive. Believe it or not, there are some genuinely good ideas that have germinated from both political parties, but because of the antagonism between the two they will never see the light of day. If our country is to see real solutions to our problems and continued prosperity this antagonism must end. Political jockeying has its place, but it must stop when mutual concern is involved.
If George Washington were to see the political landscape with which we contend today, then based on his final address I do not think he would be at all surprised. Although he may have predicted this present, his advice to restrain the passions of our political parties is certainly easier said than done. Yet in addition to his wisdom he also left his example. One that we, citizen and public servant alike, would do well to follow. He marshaled a fledgling army against the superpower of his day, refused absolute power over a new nation, and always put the well-being of his country first. We should endeavor to do the same and think of ourselves not as dogmatically inflexible Democrats or Republicans, but as Americans, first and always.

- CH = Chain
- HDC = Half Double Crochet
- SC = Single Crochet
- SL ST = Slip Stich
- Size I (5.5 mm) crochet hook
- Cotton Yarn - I used Sugar 'n Cream
- Tapestry needle to weave in ends
- Scissors
Start by chaining 26. Check out this Video from the Knit Witch to learn how to chain.
Starting in the third chain from the hook, complete 24 HDC stitches across. To make an HDC, wrap yarn over your hook, insert the hook through the chain, wrap yarn over hook again and pull yarn through 1 loop, wrap yarn over and pull yarn through all 3 loops on the hook. For a video on how to complete an HDC, see Crochet Geek's video. At the end of the row, chain 2.
Then turn the work to begin crocheting across the next row.
The Chain 2 at the beginning of the row, doesn't count as the first HDC, so start the first HDC into the first space from the hook.
Continue HDC rows for about 17 rows total or until the dishcloth reaches the desired length.
You can either finish off the dishcloth here (to see how to finish off, visit this video) or you can add a contrasting color for edging. If you decide to complete the edging, attach your contrasting yarn color and SC in each HDC space for the tops and bottoms. On the sides, complete 6 SCs for about every 5 HDC rows (SC in each row 4 times and then 2 SCs in the next row). On the corners, complete 2 SCs in one space. Connect edging with a slip stitch, finish off, and weave in ends. To see how to complete SC edging, visit Crochet Geek's Video.
Please visit A Crafty House for more knit and crochet patterns!
Thanks so much Ashley! These are my absolute fav for wiping kiddo's faces with- much softer than a regular dish rag. Not to mention cuter:)

Subject: | Re: [Qemu-devel] Re: Network Performance between Win Host and Linux |
From: | "Leonardo E. Reiter" |
Date: | Wed, 12 Apr 2006 10:31:31 -0400 |
On an additional note, Windows host users may want to try moving the
arbitrary Sleep() in main_loop_wait() to the end of the function, and
making that conditional if there are no I/O events pending. Otherwise,
there is a fixed penalty and this does not take advantage of Ken's new
patch to avoid the delay if there are pending slirp requests for
example. When I have some time I will see if there is a better way to
multiplex poll in Windows, so that you can use something like select()
but still get interrupted. There might for example be something
relevant in the newer winsock libraries (i.e. V2), but of course it has
to be general enough to work on any type of fd.
I apologize but I have not yet been able to successfully build QEMU on Windows, even after mucking with the mingw stuff. I probably need to spend more time on it at some point. But if anyone is using Windows and can compile QEMU from source, you can try moving the Sleep to see if that helps, especially after applying Ken's new patches. Actually Kazu's patch for TAP performance addresses this for TAP for example, so it should be easy to adapt to slirp... the code is in very close proximity. - Leo Reiter Kenneth Duda wrote: The "qemu-slirp-performance" patch contains three improvements to qemu slirp networking performance. Booting my virtual machine (which NFS-mounts its root filesystem from the host) has been accelerated by 8x, from over 5 minutes to 40 seconds. TCP throughput has been accelerated from about 2 megabytes/sec to 9 megabytes/sec, in both directions (measured using a simple python script). The system is subjectively more responsive (for activities such as logging in or running simple python scripts). -- Leonardo E. Reiter Vice President of Product Development, CTO Win4Lin, Inc.

Parent to Parent: Fears
Reported by:
Leisa Williams
Archived Reports:
From monsters in the closet to being afraid of the dark, all kids have fears. What can parents do to help them through the rough spots? Seven's Lynn Martinez tells us more in tonight's Parent to Parent.
WSVN -- Two-year-old McKenzie sure doesn't like to say goodbye to her mom.
At Miami Shores Presbyterian Preschool, McKenzie goes into a full-blown panic at morning drop-off.
Jeannie Stefanick: "It's OK, McKenzie, it's OK. Mommy will be back soon."
You might call it a textbook case of separation anxiety, and it's probably the most common fear for toddlers. Just ask any parent.
Cynthia Peroe: "It makes you feel very guilty because you think, Oh, I shouldn't be leaving my child here. I'm a bad mother, I'm leaving my child here."
Jeannie Stefanick has worked here at the pre-school for 22 years and sees separation anxiety everyday.
Jeannie Stefanick: "You just need to grab a hold of those kids and hug them, you know? And reassure them that mommy's coming back, daddy's coming back."
When kids don't want you to leave, never sneak away. Even if they're crying, always say goodbye and reassure them you'll be back for them soon.
Jeannie Stefanick: "You feel better? Good, I am so happy you feel better."
Kira Charles is getting better with morning drop off, but now she's afraid of bugs.
Tabitha Charles: "Right now, she's starting to develop little fears of spiders or things like that and I'm trying to give her the confidence of that spiders are OK."
For this one, parents could read them books about bugs and spiders. The more kids know, the less afraid they may be.
Another common fear here at pre-school: fear of using the bathroom. Part of the problem, kids are just starting to learn and may not be confident about their bathroom skills. A good solution is to have a plan B.
Jeannie Stefanick: "It's something that some kids need pull-ups just to get through the day."
Whether it's fear of dogs, monsters under the bed or the dark, Dr. Valerie says parents can find positive ways to help.
Dr. Valerie Goode: "For example, if they're afraid of ghosts at night when they go to sleep, you know you may want to turn on the light. Let them have the light on, let them do something that they can be in charge of."
And what do you do if your child is afraid of strange adults?
Valerie Goode: "All these big people walk into the room you know, and if they're very shy, maybe they can't think of something to say, and it's just overwhelming."
For this one, Dr. Val says make the introduction, but don't push the child to talk if they don't want to, and remember, childhood fears are part of life. As kids grow, most common fears fade away.
Jeannie: "Don't get frustrated, be patient. This too shall pass."
Dr. Valerie Goode

Top 10 robots of the past decade
A few months ago, I attended a panel discussion on Immersive Design where the panelists delved into the philosophy of consciousness of technology: when and how do we realize that something (particularly Artificial Intelligence) has gained consciousness. And what would be the form that would gain awareness first (if it hasn't already gained it). Would it be man made robots, or would it be the self organizing cities or the internet.
These are fascinating topics of discussion, but this particular post is dedicated to some of the coolest robots of the past decade. Some time ago GoRobotics.net put together a list of the top 10 robots of the past decade.
It features the very cute (and not necessarily as advanced) KeepOn, designed to allow a broad range of interactions with children (particularly the ones with Autism) which otherwise are impossible to have. Also on the list is the advanced Predator Drone, used in many military strikes by the US recently.
Others on the list are
- Pleo (the dinausaur toy),
- PackBot (the search bot),
- BigDog (one of the most advanced rough-terrain robot),
- RoboSapien (the hackable toy),
- ASIMO (Honda's flagship robot),
- Aibo (the useful dog),
- Lego Mindstroms and
- Roomba (first commercial floor cleaning robot)
The following video presents the cute Keepon dancing to Spoon's, "Don't You Evah".
For the full article on GoRotics.net click here.
Also do check out the 'dream the impossible' documentary at the Honda site where it shows off its ASIMO robot. http://dreams.honda.com.
