St. Anthony, also known as Saint Anthony Village, is a city in Hennepin and Ramsey counties in the State of Minnesota. The population was 8,226 at the 2010 census.[6] About 5,000 residents live in the larger Hennepin County part of the city, while about 3,000 residents are in the Ramsey County part. The city is run by a five-member Council consisting of a mayor and four Council members who serve 4 year terms.
St. Anthony was also the name of the older twin city of Minneapolis, located across from downtown Minneapolis on the east bank of the Mississippi River. Minneapolis and St. Anthony merged in 1872. There is also a city named Saint Anthony in Stearns County.
St. Anthony was formed as a township in 1861 and became a village in 1945. (All Minnesota villages became cities in 1974, but St. Anthony is still referred to popularly as St. Anthony Village.) The former St. Anthony Township once encompassed most of what is today Northeast Minneapolis. When Minneapolis annexed most of St. Anthony Township (and some other townships in other parts of the city) in 1887, the less than two square miles of what is now the Hennepin County portion of St. Anthony was not included and remained an unincorporated area until 1945.
St. Anthony was the home of Apache Plaza, the tenth indoor shopping mall in United States, which opened in October 1961. The first, Southdale, was built only 15 miles (24 km) to the south and was completed in October 1956. Built in the 1950s, The St. Anthony Shopping Center was the first strip mall in the state of Minnesota and was owned by the Batista family of Cuba.[7]
In the spring of 2006, the St. Anthony Village High School Huskies claimed ISD 282's first major state Championship in Baseball. The Huskies also won the state Championship in Baseball in 2008. They have also won five Class AA state championships in Knowledge Bowl.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 2.37 square miles (6.14 km2), of which 2.25 square miles (5.83 km2) is land and 0.12 square miles (0.31 km2) is water.[2]
One of the longest and most widely used streets in Saint Anthony is Silver Lake Road, named for Silver Lake in the northwest part of the city. Silver Lake Road runs the length of Saint Anthony from north to south. County Highway 88 also serves as one of the city's main routes. Interstate 35W skims through the south near the Saint Anthony Boulevard exit.
Saint Anthony is located four miles northeast of downtown Minneapolis.

Parks and recreation[edit]
St. Anthony has several parks operated by the city. The most notable of these is Central Park, located near the center of the city along the High School and Community Center, as well as the police station, fire station and water treatment plant. Several of the high school's athletic teams host home competitions in Central Park. Smaller parks include Emerald Park, Silver Point Park, and Trillium Park. Additionally, St. Anthony has a golf course maintained by the Minneapolis Parks and Recreation Board and a county park, Silverwood, maintained by the Three Rivers Park District.[11][12] Silverwood Park is on Silver Lake, which is almost entirely within the boundaries of St. Anthony.
Sister city[edit]
St. Anthony Village has one sister city, as designated by Sister Cities International:
St. Anthony dedicated a park, named Salo Park, to its sister city on June 8, 2006 in its Silver Lake Village development.
Islamic Center controversy[edit]
On June 12, 2012, the St. Anthony City Council voted by a 4 to 1 margin against a conditional use permit for the proposed Abu-Huraira Islamic Center, which was to be housed in the basement of the old Medtronic headquarters building located off Old Highway 8. The St. Anthony planning commission had approved the mosque project in a 5 to 1 vote a week earlier. The vote was justified based on the city's zoning and land use laws. According to the Twin Cities Star-Tribune newspaper, some of the 150 people in attendance spoke out against the proposal. The report also quoted Lori Saroya, executive director of the Minnesota chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, who said the decision "sends a message they [St. Anthony leaders] don't support freedom of religion and they don't support individuals' rights to build a place of worship."[13] In October 2011, the City Council rejected a Christian group from obtaining a conditional use permit in the city's light industrial district based on the same rationale.[14] A Star Tribune investigation discovered that the church was a Nigerian congregation and that racial and national origin discrimination may be at play, in addition to religious discrimination.[15] The U.S. Department of Justice assigned the U.S. Attorney for the District of Minnesota to review the case.[16]
In September 2012, the Abu-Huraira Islamic Center closed on the purchase of the property.[17]

I have been a fan of CO Bigelow's lip balms for a while now. This is no different, makes my lips feel very cool and well moisturized. I put it on top of lip color to give extra shine and protection.
This is by far my favorite lip gloss! It tastes and smells amazing, and I love the way it feels on my lips. I'd give it ten stars if I could!
Best best lip shine there is! Love the texture , smell, and feel. Obsessed! Hoping birch box gets the tinted versions!
This product is amazing! It keeps my lips moisturized and smells and tastes amazing! I love the smell of mint! :)
I LOVE this product! It offers a tingly fresh mint sensation and scent along with a gorgeous clear shine! I love it on its own or to top off my favorite lip color. I'm never without it.
I wear little to no makeup normally- I'm far too lazy for that. When my lips get dry-summer or winter- I reach for this. Tastes good, smells good, moisturizes my lips with no gross goop feeling.
Summary: I love this product and highly recommend it!
Love the feel and the tingle from the menthol- I have bought a few and give them in gifts also! Would buy again
Great taste but it leaves my lips a little stickier than other menthol lip glosses! Still a great product! I would recommend it!
I love the Bigelow products and how well they work. They are not sticky and the menthe in this is just nice and subtle when you need a little refresher. It last's a good amount of time and provides a really nice gloss.
I did enjoy the mentha lip shine but honestly I found it too shiny and the peppermint was a bit painful on chapped lips! If you're looking for a good lip gloss to wear out without color then this is the one!

Agent-vetted manuscripts help independently-published authors stand out from the millions of others, and contribute to raising the bar for independent publishing, garnering recognition and sales for those authors who understand and commit to "self-publishing, done right." 6H: The New Era of Publishing: An Agent's Perspective on Going the Indie Route

- Stephen Barr (Literary Agent)
- Stephen Barr spent the first 21 years of his life in Southern California, and the only thing he really knew about publishing before he moved to New York City was Robert Downey Jr.'s portrayal of Terry Crabtree in Wonder Boys — he's an editor, and he flies into Pittsburgh (wearing a big, comfy-looking east coast coat) to coax a second novel out of his troubled but probably brilliant author, and then come the hijinks. That sounded pretty swell, so Barr read Wonder Boys on the flight over to New York. Over the course of six or seven months of interviews and internships, he realized that he still wanted the coat and the authors, but would be more comfortable playing the role, so to speak, of their agent (though editing is perhaps his favorite thing in the whole wide world, and he works very closely with his clients to polish and perfect their manuscripts before and after submission). Barr landed at Writers House in 2008, became its biggest fan about four seconds later, started taking on his own clients in 2010 (serious non-fiction, memoir, literary fiction, picture books, non-paranormal YA, you name it), and just got his coat back from the dry cleaner. 3J: Query Lab

New era begins, but sad to see old one go
Tomorrow's newspapers will be printed by Seacoast Media Group at the Dover printing plant it has leased from Foster's Daily Democrat, which is also now being printed by SMG. That company prints other titles, including the Nashua Telegraph and the Laconia Daily Sun, at another facility in Portsmouth.
Newspapers large and small are making decisions similar to ours. You either become a commercial hub, printing many titles, or you become a customer, as we are doing.
The bad news is that the work that has been done for the Union Leader by generations of pressmen and mailers, often by succeeding generations of the same families, is no longer available here.
But even if their pay is good and the atmosphere pleasant elsewhere, it is not going to be the same. These guys (very few gals) have worked together for years, as their fathers did before them. They have taken justifiable pride in their crafts and in helping put out the daily and Sunday newspapers that are trucked to the far corners of New Hampshire to be read in thousands of homes, diners, and at business desks.
They have been an important, if unsung, part of the daily life of New Hampshire. I knew several of their dads and uncles and I feel a little like Brooklyn must have felt when the Dodgers moved west.

STILLWATER, Okla. —
By Jason Elmquist
Looking at Oklahoma State basketball player Brian Williams' face you wouldn't think that he had received some of the worst news a competitive athlete can hear.
Then you look down at his left arm in a sling and realize just how much it has to hurt the redshirt sophomore to know before his season even began it's already over.
Last week, Williams sustained a wrist injury to his non-shooting hand when he slipped off the rim on a dunk. Williams was scheduled to get an MRI on the wrist today, with the likelihood that he will be out for three months before even being able to start rehab — effectively keeping him out of the Cowboy season that starts with an exhibition on Nov. 1.
"It's tough because I was in the trenches with these guys all of last year when we had a below .500 season and I was just expecting to come out and redeem Cowboy basketball with these guys," Williams said while smiling during Monday's OSU basketball media day. "But now they've got to do it without me."
Though the Baton Rouge, La., native will be sidelined for the season, coach Travis Ford felt it was still important to have Williams — who Ford named as a co-captain in early August — be involved with Monday's media day.
"He's 'Coach Williams' at this point, so it's important that he's around," Ford said. "He's going to have a role on this basketball team this year — there's no question about it. I didn't name him a captain of this basketball team just to be nice to him. He earned it.
"He has a great deal of respect from his teammates. His teammates know he does everything the right way. ... He's probably the most high-energy guy, that never got tired and we've lost him. And a guy who I didn't hardly run any plays for and he still figured out how to score 12 points per game in conference play. So we've got some things to account for."
For Williams, it meant a lot — proving the coaches want him to still be a part of the team, instead of simply relegating him to the trainer's table.
"That lets me know that they hold me at the highest regard," said Williams, who will likely take a medical redshirt this season. "They still want me to be around, still at every practice, still at all the workouts. So it's important to me because I want to come back and jump right back into it — I don't want to be lost when I come back."
With Williams expected to be around his teammates in practice and games, he said he'll have to take a solid mental approach to not come off as a negative presence — like some players moping about injuries could cause.
"All I can do is be patient. I heard a phrase when I was younger, 'Time is everything,'" Williams said. "So I've just got to wait until I'm healthy and then step in and do what I can."
It will be hard for him, however, as well as for his teammates. Williams was the consummate team player and was OSU's top defender.
As for Michael Cobbins, who came to Stillwater in the same class as Williams and took a redshirt his first year on campus just like Williams, he said it will be tough not having Williams on the court alongside him.
"It's extremely difficult. We came in together (with Markel Brown) as the Three Musketeers and you just hate to see something like that happen to somebody you're really close with," Cobbins said. "I saw it happen from beginning to end and once he started yelling I just knew that something wasn't right."

Voter ID Laws Rob Grandma & 5 Million Others of Their Legit Vote (VIDEO)
Once upon a time in America, only land-owning men could vote. But then we decided that wasn't quite fair, so we eventually made voting the right of every citizen 18 years and older. But that's not the end of the story.
Ever since crooked politicians figured out that certain people seem to vote certain ways, they've been coming up with cockamamie laws that get in the way of those certain people from voting at all. Then they started telling us a big, fat LIE: They call it "ballot security" but it's really voter suppression. Voter fraud is nearly non-existent. And yet, an estimated five million would-be voters will be disenfranchised this year thanks to voter ID laws.
Here, let comedian Sarah Silverman explain it to you. NSFW WARNING: This video is sooooo Not Safe For Work. Put in your headphones.
Sarah's got a potty mouth, but she's right. We shouldn't let these assholes steal Americans' votes. If you or your Nana plan on voting in the following states, make sure you check out the voter ID laws there: PA, IN, FL, TN, MI, SD, ID, LA, KS, NH, or GA. Then do what you gotta do so you can vote. Check out LetMyPeopleVote2012.com for more information.
Still don't buy it? Let's hear PA State Senator Mike Turzai spell it out again.
Thanks Senator Turzai! I think you've made the purpose of these voter ID laws crystal clear. They're so NOT about voter fraud. Voter fraud is a problem that DOES NOT EXIST.
The end. I mean, what else is there to say? This is cheating. And I'm shouting it from the rooftops. Voter ID Laws Are Cheating! Don't let these guys, you know, metaphorically perform anal sex on you, as Sarah put it. Get informed and spread the word.
Do you know if you have the proper ID to vote -- as is your right?

I do have proper ID. As should everyone who wants to exercise their right to vote.
- Hi! My name is Adriana Valez, and I'm here to vote republican! (but wait, voter ID laws would stop that!) and who DOESN'T have a photo ID? Ya know, something required by LAW! Does anyone remember the guy in NYC who was arrested for not having photo ID on him while biking?? Jeez, voter fraud IS a problem, I don't have the statistics on hand, but I did read a few months ago that a TON of dead people were voting, but yea, I guess that isn't voter fraud. Get a photo ID, and be glad our vote is being protected!

September 21, 2012 at 12:54 PMLet's see instead of listening to people like Sarah Silverman how about you doing your own research in regards to Vote ID laws. This link gives State-by-State info on what KINDS of id are acceptable: http://www.ncsl.org/legislatures-elections/elections/voter-id.aspx#Details We need an ID to do pretty much everything, there is nothing wrong w/requiring people to have an ID when voting. - Voter fraud doesn't exist....BWAHAHA. yeah right.
Adriana, once again, your stupidity shines through.
If you can't prove who you are, you don't deserve to vote. EVERYONE should have at least one form of government ID. If someone is lazy and stupid enough to not, and can't prove who they are, why should they get to vote?
They shouldn't.
Grandma needs to get off her ass and get a State ID.
If you don't have a mind enough to get your ID together, stay home.
Do us a favor and DON'T vote.
If you can get to the polls, you can get your ID.
Wouldn't you think Dims would know this already ????
How on earth do you get by in this life without a proper ID? You have to have one to get a job, to buy certain goods... Working, functioning Americans HAVE their ID already. It isn't difficult to get one, so no- I don't worry about it.
- Bwhahhahhhahha this is the funniest shit. I can find out your voting district and I vote on your behalf Adriana. I will be voting straight Republican.
- This might be the dumbest article I've ever read. I'm going to assume you know nothing about anything from here on out. Seriously - no ID? Come on now.

AxRTM™ 5.6 leads the industry in computing performance with next generation GPUs while delivering superior image quality for complex geological structures
CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwire - Aug. 14, 2012) - Acceleware® Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:AXE) a leading developer of high performance computing applications, today announced the release of AxRTM™ 5.6, providing improved imaging of the most complex geology and increased price/performance ratio through highly-optimized computing performance.
This new version of Acceleware's industry leading Reverse Time Migration (RTM) library incorporates an innovative noise reduction filter to remove imaging artifacts. Developed by Acceleware's geophysical research team, the new filter is a proprietary post-imaging technique for the removal of low frequency noise that is generated by the standard RTM imaging condition. Further optimization of the high quality imaging condition continues to enhance the value to geophysicists by producing images of exceptional clarity and accuracy.
"Acceleware continues to push the boundaries, delivering advanced technologies and improved performance, enabling the Paradigm's Echos™ RTM to produce the superior seismic images of the subsurface our customers demand," said Duane Dopkin, Executive VP - Technology at Paradigm Ltd.
Acceleware is committed to providing the best computing performance possible and has provided support for NVIDIA's new Kepler architecture as a key feature of the 5.6 release. Executed on the latest Tesla K10 GPU, AxRTM 5.6 runs 1.8 times faster than Fermi generation GPUs with the same power usage, cost and form factor. AxRTM continues to meet market demands of producing enhanced seismic images while providing a high return on investment and low cost of ownership.
"Producing highly accurate images and impressive computing performance with NVIDIA`s Kepler GPUs delivers a great value proposition by AxRTM for customers," said Bill Kamps, President at Tsunami Development.
"The efficient implementation of the filter coupled with the unique post imaging method results in a high quality solution for removing low frequency noise, an inherent by-product of the standard imaging condition," said Darren Foltinek, Seismic Imaging Product Manager at Acceleware. "By combining the post imaging correction and the latest GPU technology, AxRTM continues to deliver the best price - performance value available."
About AxRTM
Reverse Time Migration (RTM) is a full wave seismic depth migration imaging algorithm used in areas of complex geology to produce accurate maps of the subsurface. The strength of RTM stems from its full solution to the two-way acoustic wave equation, improving imaging in areas where the geology violates the assumptions made in Kirchhoff or one-way wave equation migrations. Until recently, the widespread use of RTM was severely hindered by the enormous computing resources required to process the data. This computational bottleneck is now cleared with the advancement of GPU computing and Acceleware's AxRTM library.
Launched in 2008, Acceleware's AxRTM is a state-of-the art pre-stack two-way wave equation migration library with VTI and TTI anisotropy capabilities. Uniquely supporting both GPU and multi-core CPU clusters, the AxRTM library provides small and midsized seismic data processors with an economically viable RTM solution. AxRTM is available integrated into production ready applications from Paradigm and Tsunami Development.

I loved this man with my whole heart. I was a phenom basketball player and former catholic boy who got messed up by rock and roll and realized there was more to live for. I saw Jim at the Cleveland Agora when he was touring for his first LP. We where in the front row and we he did "Catholic Boy" I got up close and did the priest sign of the cross right in his face. He lost his shit and stopped singing and high fived me. Awesome moment! Rest in peace man. Together we are gonna take it to the hoop at Rucker Park!
- steve simels said...
I saw the Jim Carrol Band once, at a press thing when the first album came out.. Trax, I think. Keith Richards played on "People Who Died."
Sad news indeed... - 9/13/2009 8:50 PM
I saw Jim Carrol in the summer of '81 at a little club called The Thunderbird in Tyngsborough, Mass. My best friend had died the year before in a drug-related accident. Iwas right up front and Jim leaned down with the mic and I sang the chorus of this song with him. It was one of the most cathartic experience of my life. Rest in Peace Jim.
- gttim said...
What a talent he was. "Catholic Boy" was a landmark punk CD and will always be one of my favorites.
And remember commenters, it is 2 R's and 2 L's. - 9/14/2009 10:49 AM
Mr Simels,
Clearly you are important. Thank you for pointing that out. I thought that the post was about Jim Carroll. I must have been wrong - 9/14/2009 7:11 PM
- Dutch Canuck said...
I bought "Catholic Boy" on the basis of your rave review in The Mag Formerly Etc. and it became a fixture at my high school in our car stereo tape rotation for many months. Somehow it fit in to our simultaneous discovery of William Burroughs and Leonard Cohen. I remember being surprised at how well his non-melodic talking-singing worked, even on slow stuff like Day and Night. Rest in peace, Jim.
Oh, and Mr. Anonymous: go Rest In Peace yourself, already. - 9/14/2009 8:02 PM
- Alex said...
I was lucky enough to see him in concert once in the 80s. Great show, great energy, great time.
- goomba said...
Ditto to Dutch. Steve Simels turned me on to so much good music with his Stereo Review critiques in the 70s/80s including Jim Carrol's woefully underappreciated first album.
RIP Jim Carrol
RIP Stereo Review
Stick around, Steve. - 9/14/2009 11:00 PM

Should be sayin' that to you by now, shouldn't I? Layin' down a law that I live by Though maybe next time I've got a thick tongue, Brimming with the words that go unsung I simmer then I burn for a someone The wrong one And I tell myself to let the story end, That my heart will rest in someone else's hand But my 'why not me?' philosophy began And I say... CHORUS: Ooh, how am I gonna get over you? I'll be all right, just not tonight But someday, hey, oh I wish you'd want me to stay I'll be all right, just not tonight But someday Maybe, it's a vicious little word that can slay me Keep me where I'm hurting you Make me hang from your hands Well, no more I won't beg to buy a shot at your back door If I'm aching at the thought of you, what for? It's not me anymore And I'm not the girl that I intend to be I dare you darling, just you wait and see But this time not for you, but just for me And I say... CHORUS (Say) Say, it's coming soon (Someday) Someday without you All I can do is get me past the ghost of you Wave goodbye to me I won't say I'm sorry I'll be all right once I find the other side of someday CHORUS submitted on July 21th, 2010

Here's a Little Something
I contributed this tiny monkey doodle to Chris Estey's Get Well Quick Card last year and literally forgot all about it. His wife Heidi showed up with a little zine thing that Chris had put together all about his sickness (a kind of flesh-eating thing) and his convalescence, and this image was part of the card reproduced on the cover.
Looking at it was weird, since I had no recollection of drawing it whatsoever. I had assumed that my friend Jon Morris had drawn it, but it's a lot less sophisticated than anything you could attribute to him, even on his worst gin-and-flu soaked days. When I realized it was me what done it, I had that feeling you get when you see an old photograph of yourself. Not recognition, but resignation: yeah, that was me.
I do think it's kind of cute, and once I scan it I'll post a better version of it here. This is the cell phone version.

About Me
- Saloma Furlong
- I am the author of the memoir "Why I Left the Amish." In February 2012, I was featured in the PBS documentary "The Amish" that aired on American Experience. I was born and raised in an Amish community in Ohio. Driven by my desire for freedom and more formal education, I broke away from my community –– not once, but twice. I graduated from Smith College in May 2007 with a major in German Studies and a minor in Philosophy. My education has included research on the Amish with Dr. Donald Kraybill and a semester abroad in Germany, where I studied at the University of Hamburg. During my thirty-year inner struggle of coming to terms with my Amish past, I have gleaned a better understanding of myself and my heritage. It is this perspective that I bring to my reflections about Amish.

Your blog is quite interesting and I would love to more more about your experiences. I visited the Amish country (Lancaster, Pa.) as a little girl. My father was allowed to take a photo of me, with my long braids, talking to a little Amish girl, also in braids, but only because the other girl gave him her back! The picture was taken nearly 50 years ago but I still remember it well. We took our own girls to Lancaster a few years ago, but it had lost the old charm. Seeing the Amish traipsing through Walmart just seemed incongruent with all I had learned about the culture
My favorite bookmark is the purple one, for no other reason than it would look pretty sitting in whatever book I am currently reading, which changes constantly as I read all the time.
Thanks for considering me for a free copy of your memoir.
Dana Casella I would be thrill to be the owner of any of the above. They are all beautiful. I have you book and have read it and passed it on to many of my Amish friends. I ma looking forward to discussing it with them. You have helped me out 'socially' when I became friends with my first Amish family. And now I am friends with many of their siblings. I have learned a lot from you and your writings as well as lots of my new friends also. Thanks you for being so honest in your shareings.
ReplyDeleteI had not intended to enter and signed up to follow. Then I was reading the comments and realized you were giving away your book. As nice as the bookmarks are, it was the book that grabbed me! (BTW - I like the 4th, 5th, and 6th. LOL)
I just watched the documentary online, thank you for sharing the link. We just came back yesterday from a trip to Lancaster (and Hershey).This comment came through as an email, so I am posting it here for a chance for you to win the drawing, Mary.
Hi Saloma,
I would like to enter your drawing. I believe I like the purple heart bookmark the best. I am from the Amish also, in Arthur, IL. It seems I am drawn to anything "ex-Amish"! I know the pain of rejection and the difficulty of trying to fit into the English culture. If it wouldn't be that Jesus is with me each step of the way, I don't think I could make it!
Mary StutzmanI already commented earlier but I just wanted to say I'm all caught up!! It took me several days but after I had first started reading your blog, I went back to the very beginning and worked my way through to the present. I have fully enjoyed reading it.
Do you think your sisters would share their lives/perspectives with you to share with us on your blog? I'd love to hear about their journeys in leaving the world they grew up (and even married) in.
Why was your Amish name Lomie and your English name Saloma? Is it just your nickname and what you went by was Lomie when you were Amish?

Hi, So here's the patchset for OMAP 3 ISP and camera drivers plus the associated V4L changes. Sergio Aguirre has been posting a related patchset earlier, containing also sensor and lens driver used on SDP. This patchset is agains the linux-omap tree: <URL:http://www.muru.com/linux/omap/README_OMAP_GIT> So I and Sergio have synchronised our versions of the ISP and camera drivers and this is the end result. There is still a lot of work to do, though. You can find some comments in individual patch descriptions. If the todo list for a patch is empty it doesn't mean there wouldn't be anything left to do. ;) There's at least one major change to Sergio Aguirre's earlier patches which is that the ISP driver now uses the IOMMU from Hiroshi Doyu. Hiroshi is away for some time now so there are just some hacks on top of Hiroshi's older iommu patches to use with current linux-omap. This patchset does not contain the resizer or preview wrappers from TI but they have been left intentionally out. A proper interface (V4L) should be used for those and the camera driver should be somehow involved --- the wrappers are just duplicating much of the camera driver's functionality. I don't have any sensor or lens drivers to publish at this time. This patchset should work with the SDP and OMAPZoom boards although you need the associated sensor drivers + the board code from Sergio Aguirre to use it. You'll also need the IOMMU patchset from Hiroshi Doyu. Everything except the sensor / board stuff is available here: <URL:http://www.gitorious.org/projects/omap3camera> In short, on linux-omap: $ git pull http://git.gitorious.org/omap3camera/mainline.git v4l \ iommu omap3camera base Hiroshi's original iommu tree is here (branch iommu): <URL:http://git.gitorious.org/lk/mainline.git> Some of the camera and ISP driver development history is available, too. See the first link. Any feedback is appreciated. Sincerely, -- Sakari Ailus email@example.com -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-omap" in the body of a message to firstname.lastname@example.com More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

Improvements big and small make the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus Tablet a joy to use.
SAMSUNG is a seasoned maker of Android Tablets and it has hit the right notes with the Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus. The Tablet is superior in many ways to the original 7in Galaxy Tab which was released in 2010.
True to its name, the Tab Plus has a lot of enhancements which we will check out in this review.
Looking good
The Tab has a sleek and sexy brushed plastic body and even comes in three colour schemes.
The slim body makes it easy to slip into a cargo pants pocket or handbag, as well as to hold in one hand for long hours.
Also, it's possible to make calls from the Tab without the aid of a Bluetooth handsfree kit which was not possible with the original.
However, putting a 7in Tablet next to your face to talk may attract strange looks or a few chuckles. So, it may be best to stick to a Bluetooth handsfree kit for making calls.
You can also make video calls from the Tab.
Bright and clear
The Tab has a PLS (plane to line switching) touchscreen panel with a resolution of 1,024 x 600-pixels. This type of panel is 10% brighter and offers a wider viewing angle of up to 2x compared to a standard screen. It also improves visibility when viewing the screen under bright sunlight.
The Tablet is powered by a 1.2GHz dual-core processor with 1GB RAM which made using it a smooth experience. It was quick to launch apps, and was responsive to taps and swipes.
There were occasional lags when switching orientation or swiping to other homescreens but they are bearable.
Like most Tablets, it also features WiFi, Bluetooth 3.0, accelerometer, digital compass, gyroscope and ambient light sensor.
Handy remote
(Please note: Samsung would like to clarify that this feature is not available here. However, we are still leaving in this part for our overseas readers.)
The Tab has an interesting feature that is not commonly found in other Tablets or smartphones - it has an infrared (IR) emitter.
Although IR has been replaced by Bluetooth for wireless data transfer, it hasn't outlived its usefulness. IR is still used in remote controls and this is why it's present here also.
The Tab comes with Peel Smart Remote app and with it you can control your home entertainment system right from the Tablet.
The app is very easy to use - you just have to select the product brand instead of the specific model which can be painful as there are so many.
After that you will have to point the Tablet at your, say, TV and the app will cycle through a number of commands. By letting the app know when it is successful, it will automatically configure itself for the specific model.
Interesting interface
The Tab runs on Android 3.2 (Honeycomb) operating system with Samsung's TouchWiz UX user interface.
Honeycomb is optimised to work with small-sized Tablets and the TouchWiz UX interface adds a number of useful tools to the mix such as a task manager, world clock, finger-friendly note taking app, calculator and music player.
The 3-megapixel camera on the back could have performed better. Even outdoor shots weren't great - colours and sharpness weren't particularly satisfying, for instance. At least the camera fared better for macro shots as the images had more detail.
The camera can also shoot 720p HD videos and it produces passable clips.
The Tab also supports various video formats for playback such as MP3, OGG, FLAC, AAC, WMA and WAV.
Also, as it runs on Android it can also be used to view Flash app and games.
The 4,000mAh battery lasted about nine hours of usage which mainly consisted of web browsing, checking e-mail messages, updating social media statuses and watching one or two videos.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus is superior in every way to the original and a decent 7in Tablet.
Honeycomb and the TouchWiz UX makes the Tablet easy to use, and it has plenty of other handy functions. The IR, for instance, turns the phone into a handy remote for controlling home theatre systems.
The camera could have fared better but it is only 3-megapixel but at least it shoots 720p HD videos.
Overall, we had fun using the Tab and for RM1,399 it is quite a bargain for a Honeycomb Android Tablet.
Pros: Sleek and slim; very little lag; IR function; affordable.
Cons: Still images could be better.

SKILL LEVEL: Easy (Level 2)
SIZE: One Size
About 30 x 32 in. (76 x 81 cm)
For long trips and chilly climates, a well-knit car blanket is absolutely essential. This one spreads out to nearly a square yard, the perfect size for a passenger's lap blanket or a traveling child's nap. Best of all, this pattern rolls up neatly and buttons closed for easy storage in the backseat, trunk or almost any compartment.
10 sts = 4 in. (10 cm) in St st (k on RS, p on WS). BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.
10 sts = 4 in. (10 cm) in St st (k on RS, p on WS).
1. Blanket, including borders, is knit in one piece. 2. Blanket is worked in Stockinette st (k on RS, p on WS), with 4 sts at the beginning and end of each row worked in Garter st (k every row) for borders. Stitch markers are used to separate the border sts. 3. A circular needle is used to accommodate the large number of sts. Work back and forth on circular needle as if working on straight needles. 4. Straps are knit separately and are used to secure Blanket when it is rolled for storage.
BLANKET With A, cast on 75 sts. Working back and forth in rows on circular needle, work in Garter st (k every row) for 5 rows for border. Next Row: K4 (for Garter st border), place marker (pm), k to last 4 sts, pm, k4 (for Garter St border). Change to B. Row 1 (RS): Knit, slipping markers as you come to them.

Basic,tired room but comfortable; good shower. Breakfast okay. No bar open for pre-dinner drinks! This was very annoying but we found a bar across the street. On return at night the bar was open and full of smokers; appalling smell. And I like a smoke! One friendly staff member and one who should find an alternative career. A Euro charge... More

The Chieftain Connection, a School-based enterprise at Utica High School, was named second best in the nation at DECA's International Career Development Conference.
The school store competed against 120 other enterprises across the nation to receive the top award from DECA, a business organizers that promotes education in marketing, finance, hospitality and management in high schools and colleges. The DECA conference was held April 27-30 in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Utica High School store managers Amalia Nimo, Lukas Koja and Andrew Ackerman presented to two sets of DECA judges before a final presentation to business leaders from Otis Spunkmeyer, a national cookie dough manufacturer.
Students were required to pick a best practice from the 80 page DECA manual to present in 5 to 7 minutes while incorporating the audience and showing how the school store is unique. UHS students chose promotions.
The store is under the direction of Utica High School Marketing teacher Dana Boice.
In addition to second place finish, the Utica High School store was also among the 137 school stores in the United States honored for achieving highest level of Gold Level Certification through DECA.
In order to apply for the certification, the school store submitted extensive documentation showing how they have achieved set standards that are outlined in the certification guidelines.
DECA's School-based Enterprise (SBE) Certification Program was developed to provide recognition for outstanding achievement by school-based enterprises and to motivate SBEs to strive for excellence and to grow.

If truck drivers car, bus etc. need insurance then they need a law to force them to to have insurance to hold them accountable for their actions, depending on what they did to avoid this tragedy where this mans body was torn to pieces under the wheels of this train.Instead of excuses ,reasons and finger pointing and blame in part on the victum ,they should have insuransce to compensate the victoms family. They also need justice. The trains need LIABILITY INSURANCE . People need to write to whatever department is responsable for the railroad commission. Its time for these people to take resposability for their actions

To start the experience off, the woman at the front desk was very unpleasant and short with me and my girlfriend. She clearly did not want to be there. We booked a room for three night.

I've trashed the old image (Fedora) and started over with CentOS.
httpd, php, mysqld are all set up & running.
This is what I was afraid of:
# yum install memcached
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
* addons: centos.mirrors.tds.net
* base: mirror.anl.gov
* extras: updates.interworx.info
* updates: yum.singlehop.com
Setting up Install Process
No package memcached available.
Nothing to do
So.. how do I set up these EPEL thingamabobs?
in my /etc/yum there's a folder named pluginconf.d
and in there is a file named fastestmirror.conf
nothing in that file looks familiar nor useful

Reblogged from One Life, One Goal, One God, Infinite Possibilities:
Nature, it's such an eye opener to me on days like we had today. To walk along the train tracks, with the wind blowing and the sun as bright that you are able to feel the heat beating down on you, that's such a great feeling that I never want to take it granted. Walking among the beauty, even of the sights of a little town as I live in is breath-taking that it makes any day, good or bad and turns it all around, makes you forget about reality for at least the present moment your experiencing, right?
