Let's Play Battle of the Blondes: Cameron Diaz vs. Kate Upton Edition
So Cameron Diaz wrote a book, you guys. And she's pretty stoked about it. It's called The Body Book.
And she's already found a fan in her girl (and fellow blonde), Kate Upton, who she co-starred with in the movie, The Other Woman, which is set to be released in April.
Naturally, Cameron responded to Kate's props with a little sass: "Thanks Friend!! I want your BODY... To read my BOOK!!"
Of course now we're inspired to play this totally legitimate and time-well-spent game: Which Leggy Blonde Bod Would You Rather Have For 24 Hours?

SELF Gives You a Sneak Peek of Our Exclusive P90X3 Workout With Tony Horton!
Ten years ago everybody was talking about Tony Horton's crazy-intense P90X dvds (shorthand for power 90-day eXtreme series, fyi). In 2011, it was turbo-charged P90X2. This week, it's the latest edition to the fit craze --P90X3, promising all the same lean-out, sculpt-everything results, but with breezy 30-minute workouts. "Science shows that the bulk of fitness results come in the first 30 minutes of your workout, and even better, it feels doable; you don't have to save your energy, you just go all-out the whole time," Horton says.

Hitting The Slopes? Going for an Outdoor Run? Here's How to Heal and Prevent Windburn
Whether you're hitting the slopes, going for a cold-weather run or straight up frolicking outdoors on a blustery, snowy day, all seems great -- until you look in the mirror and realize you're more akin to Rudolph the Red-FACED Reindeer. Damn wind burn. And while it's easy to assume windburn is just a seasonal version of sunburn, this wintry issue has nothing to do with UV rays. (But ALWAYS wear sunscreen, guys!)
Wind burn, rather, is caused when the cold temperatures and dry air sap skin of its natural moisture, causing the blood vessels near the surface of your skin to dilate -- which is why you turn red and look "burned." But the good news is that there are ways to fix it, and even better ways to prevent it.

Normally I would say tip on the pre-discount total. But this is one hour's work and it seems they didn't really do much in the way of what we normally tip catering staff for. Still, $10 seems a little...small. My answer might change if I knew what amounts were at stake if the percentage standard was used, but with basic info of what they did & for how long, I would go for $20 each and call it a day.

need help with my own rlogind.c
I have a few quesitons regarding a version of rlogind.c that i'm hacking on. I'm not crazy enough to think that anyone will use it or distribute it, i'm just doing it as a programming exercise. I use a variation of rlogin.c, for the client, from the one in the original w.rich stevens network prog book. The server program has a function to multiplex between the network and master-side of the pseudo terminal.This is after a function has been called which opens the master and slave of the pseudo terminal and exec()s /bin/login like so: Code:
if(excel("/bin/login", "login", "-p", "-h", hp->h_name, "-f", user_name, (char *)0)== -1) perror("/bin/login error"); Code:

I ran tcpdump and the only packets exchanged were the client sending the user name and the server successfully reading this and sending back an "o.k". What are the "gotchas" for /bin/login and pseudo terms talking to the network? Why might the login fail? I've tried exec()ing /bin/login with and without the "-f" flag. When i did use the "-f" flag i tried logging in as the user who was already logged in and with a user who was not already logged in! I don't know why i can't get this to work(?) I can post the whole code of the server and/or the client if necessary. But that is kinda crazy(as is wanting to code such an application as rlogind!) Any help/suggestions would be gratefully received Thank you very much in advance. Last edited by unixjingleman; 18th July 2013 at 09:23 PM. Reason: Have changed the code |
And yes the firewall is off on the server, when i test the program. Also i don't use rcmd, on the client, to initiate the normal rlogin login. I just send the username to the server. The server then passes this username to /bin/login which is exec()'d as written above.
Last edited by unixjingleman; 10th June 2013 at 09:20 PM. |
unixjingleman also posted this question to linuxquestions.org as:
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...-c-4175465118/ |
How extremely embarrassing. The problem was i was returning from the parent after the child had been forked to do the execle of /usr/bin/login so that i wasn't wait()ing for the child or calling a function to handle the reads/writes to/from the socket/pty(ptmx).
Sorry(again) for posting such a trivial problem! |

I'd like to know what wifi cards you have, I have 6 wifi cards and none of them work correctly in linux. 1 actually works but the wifi range is about 60% lower then it is in windows. 2 of them used to work, until a regression hit the drivers and they have not been update in a longtime. Also saying Linux has superior hardware support to windows is a joke. Out of the box without internet it might, but overall it does not. excluding third party support make no sense.
As for the great article showing linux graphics stack beating out windows, I enjoy seeing all the games tested are old OpenGL titles, No on cares to play those games anymore
and windows 7 has terrible support for openGL. Since DX is superior in every way, john carmack agrees.

In her recently published book, 'My Story: Elizabeth Smart,' written with Rep. Chris Stewart, a New York Times best-selling author and Republican congressman, Smart describes being chained at the ankle by a steel cable that ran between two trees for two months straight. (Taylor Hill / Getty Images)
On the surface, it would seem if ever there was a young girl unlikely to emerge from a brutalizing nine-month captivity unscathed and not permanently damaged, it would have been Elizabeth Smart.
And yet, the admittedly na�ve and innocent �little girl� fully ensconced in the Mormon values of chastity and abstinence not only survived her worst nightmare, she surpassed expectations, exuding uncommon grace and self-possession.
In June 2002, Smart was kidnapped at knife-point from her bed in her home in Salt Lake City by religious zealot Brian David Mitchell, who along with his wife, Wanda Barzee, enslaved her in a rudimentary camp in the woods.
In her recently published book, �My Story: Elizabeth Smart,� written with Rep. Chris Stewart, a New York Times best-selling author and Republican congressman, Smart describes being chained at the ankle by a steel cable that ran between two trees for two months straight. Deprived of water and food, her captors demanded she play �Adam and Eve,� going naked for full days. She was forced to drink alcohol to the point of passing out. She was raped daily, sometimes multiple times a day. And she was told she would be killed if she tried to escape.
With writing that spares the reader graphic details (�It is not so gruesome that it would be unbearable to read,� she recently told a reporter. �That was important to me.�), Smart explains how she went undetected, even while walking the city streets of her hometown. �Our appearance, the robes, Mitchell�s wild beard, the veils, invited distance and mistrust. It demanded we be given a wide berth. Everything about us begged to be ignored.�
In March 2003, after having shoplifted some items from a Wal-Mart, the three were surrounded by police cars. While Mitchell insisted Smart was his daughter, an officer pulled Smart away from Mitchell�s tight grip and asked her, �Are you Elizabeth Smart?� Finally she was able to say, �I am Elizabeth.�
Now 25, , Smart has chosen the life of a public figure. As president of the Elizabeth Smart Foundation, she is a full-time advocate for the prevention of child abuse, delivering some 80 speeches a year. She lobbies for legislation, specifically a bill that would establish a national registry for sex offenders, and another that would establish a national AMBER Alert. And she�s developed survivor�s guides for children who have gone through similar experiences. Her goal, is �to make talking about rape and sexual abuse not so taboo.�
Smart turned her nightmare into an opportunity. �If I hadn�t had this terrible experiences, I�m not sure I would have cared enough about these issues to be come involved,� she writes.
And she is utterly frank. Smart married Matthew Gilmour in February 2012, a man she describes �as the nicest, most genuine and most honest person� she has ever met. Recently, she told a reporter for the New Yorker: �There�s a huge difference between rape and sex. Having experienced both, I know it�s not the same thing.�
So how did she get through it? She credits her mother, who told her after she was rescued: �Elizabeth, what this man has done is terrible. There aren�t any words that are strong enough to describe how wicked and evil he is. He has taken nine months of your life that you will never get back again. But the best punishment you could ever give him is to be happy. To move forward with your life.�
Ultimately, she made a choice to get better. �I could have decided to allow myself to be handicapped by what happened to me,� she writes. �But I decided very early that I only had one life and that I wasn�t going to waste it.�
In November 2010, Smart walked into the federal courthouse in downtown Salt Lake City to face Mitchell for the first time since she�d been abducted. She had graduated from high school, received a degree from Brigham Young University in music performance and had met her future husband.
Still, she feared how she might feel when their eyes met. When they did, she returned his cold stare. �No, Mitchell, I am stronger than you,� she wrote. �I am not afraid of my future. And I am not afraid of you. Not another second will I give you. I will live and be happy. That is how this story ends.�

The suprise hit, The Voice has two new judges to stand in for Christina Aguilera and Cee Lo Green while the two take time to tend to their music careers. Adam Levine (MmammamMMMMMmhhhmMMMMM) and Blake Shelton will still be in their chairs. The show topped Monday's ratings and the show themselves has managed to give a boost to each one of their celebrity coaches career. Christina Aguilera will be releasing a new CD and going on tour. The show's creator will allow Christina and Cee Lo to come back to the show anytime they want because they've had such belief in the show even before they started, (consideringt the first few shows had really low ratings).
Even more exciting, Usher and Shakira will be standing in for Cee Lo and Christina Aguilera respectively. There will be no shortage of glam costumes and body baring outfits this spring for sure!
I couldn't help myself...
Competing show, American Idol has Nicki Minaj, Mariah Carey, Keith Urban and Randy Jackson. While X Factor will have Demi Lovato, L.A. Reid, Simon Cowell, and Britney Spears.
Forget about the fact that The Voice has yet to produce a commercially successful contestant. Why? Well apparently that does not matter to those who audition for the show nor the general public who watches. It's all about the start power the show is good at booking.
Recently announced from Christina Aguilera and Cee Lo Green they will be taking a temporary leave from the show. Filling their spots for the fourth season will be Usher and Shakira. This decision was made when Aguilera announced more details around her upcoming album Lotus. Cee Lo Green will also be releasing his Holiday album Cee Lo's Magic Moment due October 30th.

OpenOCD PandaBoard
OpenOCD mainline includes preliminary support for Cortex-A9 and Pandaboard. See the Compiling_OpenOCD for instructions to checkout and build from source, or visit OpenOCD homepage.
For using this solution, you need at least:
- a usb jtag dongle,
- an openocd excutable running on a host machine,
- a gdb cross compile for arm platform.
Eclipse can be used as a GDB front end.
JTAG Hardware HowTos[edit]
Known Issues[edit]
Memory Access[edit]
All memory accesses (including md/mw commands and disassembly) execute through the debug AHB on the L3 interconnect; resources on the L2 interconnect currently can not be accessed. This includes ROM, local PRCM, and anything in the Cortex-A9 "private memory region" (snoop-control unit, global interrupt controller, timers and watchdogs).
SMP Support[edit]
debugging A9 cores simultaneously is currrently not supported
Debug clocking[edit]
The debugger may not be able to access the A9 processor cores due to an issue with omap4430 clocking. If your debugger can identify JTAG devices, e.g.:
Info : 375 316 core.c:948 jtag_examine_chain_display(): JTAG tap: omap4430.jrc tap/device found: 0x3b95c02f (mfg: 0x017, part: 0xb95c, ver: 0x3)
but no Cortex-A9 target appears, you are probably running into this issue. Verify by connecting the debugger with no SD card inserted: if it now works, you're hitting this issue.
The current x-loader mainline includes a workaround.

A wonderful hostel! It felt like I was staying in a friend's home. The woman who runs the hostel is very helpful and looks freakishly like Susan Sarandon. The security for the house was good, but there was no lockers and very casual key system for the rooms. I would have preferred more security for my valuables, but it worked out fine... the hostel is small and works off of a trust system. Just FYI. The pro's definitely outweigh the cons at this delightful hostel.

The hostel is located in a safe area in "Patio Bonito" and only 5 min. by foot from the Metrostation "Poblado". This metro goes directly to the "Terminal norte" where the buses leave to Bogota. A big "Exito" Supermarket is also near the hostel. The area and the hostel are quiet, its happily not a Party Hostel (so if you're looking only to drink beer and hear loud music, its the wrong place). The owner Lucie is wonderful! Always friendly and helpful. Can only recommend that place!

Lawrence63 Teen Civil War Historian
Hey guys, I'm about to write a manuscript for my college's history journal. I'd like it to be on Chamberlain's actions at Gettysburg. However, I'm coming up a little short on the online resources. I'd use print, but alas, I left all my books on the Civil War with the exception of Coddington's "The Gettysburg Campaign" at home. If you could point me to any online resources relevant to my research, I'd be very grateful. Thankis in advance. Lawrence |

Ed, That's a great idea. I wasn't sure what angle to analyze the LRT, but the idea that it's surrounded in myth is a nice topic to research. Thank you very much. Lawrence |

Hi Lawrence, Adding to Ed's suggestion, there are a couple of magazine articles you might also find helpful, if you can locate copies. They're both a few years old by now. The first is an article titled "What Really Happened on Little Round Top," by Jeffrey Denman, in the August 2005 issue of Civil War Times. The other article is from North & South magazine, and is titled "Joshua L. Chamberlain and the Road to Immortality," by Glenn W. LaFantasie . It's in Volume 8, Number 4. I think LaFantasie's article was based on a book he was working on at the same time, but I have not read the book. I used these two articles a few years ago as the basis for an online article I wrote about Chamberlain at Gettysburg, back when I was running the Civil War topic on Suite101.com. They're very good, and speak to the difference between the myth and the reality of what took place on Little Round Top, and how Chamberlain's version of what took place came to be the largely accepted version. But not without some controversy. Here's a link to the main site for Civil War Times, and North & South - http://www.historynet.com/magazines/civil_war_times/page/2 http://www.northandsouthmagazine.com/index.php I'm not sure if these issues are available for back-order, but they might be, and you could contact the magazines to find out. You might also be able to obtain copies through a local library, through inter-library loan, if they don't have copies on hand. Best of luck in your research. It is a very interesting subject you've chosen. Perry |

BENZONIA -- "I'll make you a deal. You do the work, I'll play the piano." service recipient Roger Blue said.
Roger Blue plays upbeat tunes for the volunteers from St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church who are working to fix up his home that is in dire need of repair. More than 70 pairs of hands are working on 18 different projects around Benzie and Manistee Counties this week.
"The lord told us to love thy neighbor and that's what we're hoping to do," St. Andrew's volunteer Chris Jahr said.
"I think its great, we're helping people in our backyard and its kind of our mission. Keep these people in there homes," St. Andrew's volunteer Vincent Salero said.
This is all made possible through thousands of dollars in donations and even though the volunteers are doing this work for free, they all say there getting a different kind of compensation.
"What a joy it is to be in the basement cleaning and hear the music waft in the house it's happy music and Roger just makes everybody smile just makes us feel so welcome and it makes the day go much better when you're working hard to have that music," Jahr said.
WATCH Roger Blue play a song for the St. Andrew's workers.

There is a lot riding on NASA's Space Launch System (SLS). Not only does the agency's first new heavy-lift booster since the Saturn 5 that took U.S. astronauts to the moon play a central role in the future of the American spaceflight, it also provides a critical test for technology expected to figure prominently in revamping the country's ailing manufacturing industry.
NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala., is testing an approach called selective laser melting (SLM) to create parts for the J-2X and RS-25 rocket engines that will power the SLS, whose maiden voyage is slated for 2017 (pdf). The space agency expects SLM to simplify the process of making certain parts and in some cases halve the cost of producing them—a huge advantage for NASA, provided the components can withstand the rigors of lifting the largest launch vehicle ever built into space.
The first version of the SLS is a 70-metric-ton rocket that will lift around 70,000 kilograms while providing 10 percent more thrust than the Saturn 5. This SLS will power the 2017 Exploration Mission 1, which will launch an unmanned Orion spacecraft on a circumlunar voyage as a precursor to Exploration Mission 2. That mission, scheduled for 2021, will use a 130-metric-ton version of the SLS to launch Orion and a crew of up to four astronauts. This second SLS will be capable of lifting more than 130,000 kilograms and provide 20 percent more thrust than the Saturn 5.
Cash-strapped NASA is counting on SLM to speed SLS's development and reduce the program's costs. SLM is a type of additive manufacturing technology, which uses computer-aided design (CAD) files to build parts layer by layer (3-D printing is perhaps the most well known example of additive manufacturing). With SLM, a finely powdered alloy is deposited in a layer as thin as 20 microns and then fused together by a focused laser beam inside a chamber containing inert gas such as argon or nitrogen. Once the laser has turned that layer into solid metal, another layer of powder is deposited and the process is repeated.
NASA is testing the viability of making engine parts from nickel-based alloys using an SLM machine (pdf) with a square cubical build chamber measuring 250 millimeters on each side and a depth of 280 millimeters. These same alloys are already used to make 90 percent of the parts in the RS-25 and J-2X engines. The key difference is that the engines' current elements are forged and then milled into their final shapes. Often several pieces must be welded together to create a part.
Marshall engineers began evaluating alternative approaches to building parts for the next-generation J-2X engine a few years ago. In late 2010 they turned to SLM to create a duct for a gas generator in the engine. "The part itself is not necessarily complex—it's a [10-centimeter] in diameter duct that's bent in a U-shape," says Andy Hardin, SLS Liquid Engines Office engine integration hardware lead. However, "because of the thickness and the radius of the bend, it's very difficult to make. We were having trouble getting vendors to do this properly."
After printing the duct, the engineers set about deconstructing it to study its metallurgy and microscopic structure. They found that although the part was not as strong as a forged and milled duct, it fell within the "minimal acceptable range," Hardin says. "If you made a part [using SLM], the material properties would be degraded somewhat but not much." One structural advantage is that the part required no welding. "When you make a part out of multiple pieces, welds are always the weakest points," he adds. This opened the door for the engineers to consider using SLM to make other engine parts as well.
SLM, and additive manufacturing in general, is not a viable option for all J-2X or RS-25 engine parts. For starters, the printed parts must be small enough to fit in the machine's build chamber. And a lot more testing is required to determine whether components such as turbines, which operate under the most intense conditions, could be made properly using SLM, Hardin says. Good candidates for SLM are those with complex geometries that are difficult to make and require multiple welds to achieve those geometries. Depending on how well printed J-2X parts fare in tests, Marshall engineers hope to at some point use SLM to likewise make parts for the older RS-25, which served as the space shuttle's main engine throughout its 30-year history.
Another incentive for NASA to transition to additive-manufactured parts: their contractors are beginning to adopt the technology in their factories. "As a big customer for many of these manufacturers, we thought it was important that we understand the technology," Hardin says. NASA does not want to hold manufacturers back by failing to create specifications for parts made using SLM or some other additive process, he adds.
As such, NASA's success with SLM could be a boon to a flagging U.S. manufacturing industry that seeks to create more domestic jobs but has been reluctant do so because of high costs.
